SayakaQuest: Trauma is a Thing

Wait, hold up. How would a plant engineer not be able to get a job in a very industrialized city?

Also everyone forgets about the Shizukis.
It's mostly just her feeling hopeless in the situation. It's not quite as bad as she's making it out to be. THAT'S MY EXCUSE AND I'M STICKING TO IT.

...I now want someone to make this a thing.
you asked for this

"Hello again and welcome to Mystery Miki Theater 3000! I'm your host Madoka!", a bubbly girl with pink hair spouts as soon as the curtain falls. "We sincerely hope you enjoyed today's movie and commentary, til next time, just remember the mantra!"

"Today's movie has been Plan 9 from Outerspace! It's absolutely terrible but it does pose a good question about what to do during an alien invasion of ~zoooommmbiiieeesss~. And to give you some helpful tips during the break here's HomuHomu!" A cheerful young bluenette pipes up after Madoka finishes.

The raven-tressed Homura's left eye twitches. "Yes...thank you Sayaka," she intones as she walks over to a table filled with clutter.

"As you can see here, these are things that will generally render the undead unable to move, fight, or see. Guns are generally the most acceptable choice of doing in this particular undead," Homura monotones, picking up a Uzi and slapping a comically oversized drum magazine in. "But if you are unable to procure sufficient firepower, some...made from scratch recipies may help you stave off the undead hordes until help arrives." She continues on in her trademark monotone.

"Take this beauty for instance," she says picking up a glass bottle filled with petrol and a rag stuffed in the opening, eyes lighting up just a little. "A classic molotov cocktail. Nothing says get out of my yard, you undead menace like a pound of flaming glass shards. Next up we have something a little bit...more flammable." Picking up yet another glass bottle, she tosses is lightly in the air and catches it, grinning slightly. "Homemade napalm is definetly something you don't want to use everyday but is very effective. It's also relatively simple, just some styrofoam, petrol, and aluminum foil strips is all you need to make it at home."

Her grin has become slightly bigger now as she continues down the table, each stop at an improvised weapon making it larger and well...scarier.

"Hey, Sayaka?"
"What is it Kyouko?"
"Does Homura normally look that scary when she's talking about things?"

Sayaka takes a look then immediately looks away...
"Her face...whats wrong with her face?!?" She whispers to Kyouko.
"I dunno...but I think this is going to end badly.hold me"

Homura has finally reached then end of the table, looking more than a little manic.
"Well, I'm Homura and I hope you have enjoyed the basic tips on how to kill the undead menace."

As soon as she finishes speaking, she's tackled by a pink headed blur.
"AHHH YOU'RE AWESOME HOMURA-CHAN! ALL THE FIRE AND THINGS THAT GO BOOM!"

The curtain closes as Kyouko and Sayaka sit on the ground arms wrapped around each other as Madoka and Homura laugh maniaclly and begin grabbing things off the table.
 
[x] ...Watch it anyways.
[x] PEANUT GALLERY.
[x] Talk to mam.

What if... *shudder* mother enjoys our suffering of the horribad movies?

What if she wishes to convert us to her ways? They do say every daughter becomes her mother...

The only thing that could make it better is a mid-movie break sketch with Moemura in an apron cooking up Semtex and accidentally taking out a building due to a Mikinterrupt.
Semtex is difficult, being as it is the combination of two (three? Don't remember, off the top of my head) different chemical explosives and a few binders and stuff, and more likely to be the focus of a multi-hour instructional video. It's also fairly insensitive.

Nitroglycerine, on the other hand, is easy. And also volatile. Very, very sensitive.
 
Man, Mikimom is totally a six-pack and a penguin away from being Misato.

Also, on one hand she should have no problems finding another job in a place as industrialized as Mitakihara. On the other hand, when you're a plant engineer it can be awkward to have "It fucking exploded." as your reason for leaving your previous plant. :p

Is there anyway e can get a pet penguin? And can we get Junko to teach her ways to Mikimom?

On the other tentacle, it exploded because she took the day off.

Good point.

"And while we wait for that to happen... here's a sample I prepared earlier. Now, you're going to want to be very careful when handling it, preferably in a disposable and well ventilated shed as far out in the middle of nowhere as you can easily access, since it really, really, really wants to explode, and will take just about any excuse to do so and jump at it with great vigor. Now, the next part is the trick where you make some artificial restraints that will let you tell it when you actually do want it to explode, but for now, careful. First..."

"HEYA HOMURA-CHAN, WHACHADOING?!"

...

Well, technically it exploded because of a soul eating physical incarnation of despair, but they don't know that.

Well, I was thinking more of the temperature constraint when cooking the stuff up, but that works too.
 
Picking up the Pieces... [107]
[X] ...Watch it anyways.
[X] PEANUT GALLERY.

"Oh. Oh this dubbing is the best."

Your mom flaps her mouth open and shut for several seconds. "...HELLO SAYAKA." She says, finally.

You do the same thing back. Except then you move it wildly. "HI, MOTHER. HOW ARE YOU." Then you do it for several more seconds.

"I AM GOOD. AND YOU ARE?"

"MEDIOCRE."

"OH NO." About halfway through it, you both then laugh wildly.

[=]​
"Falling tombstone."

"Yup." She leans back. "Falling tombstone."

"...Wow. I...uh...there are no words." You say. "...Do you have wine?"

"Sayaka, you're not old enough to drink."

"I don't care. I want to get drunk. Why the heck did the tombstone fall and why is ANYTHING IN THIS MOVIE-!"

"Sayaka. Sayaka you're losing it."

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANYTHING IN THIS MOVIE IS."

[=]​
"So a strange man enters a room. What do you do? Why, you calmly get up and scream only when running out the door when he's clearly slow as hell and nowhere near an actual threat."

"...Mom, are you okay?"

"Actually, I'm fine." She says. "Are you?"

"NO."

"Didn't think so."

[=]​
"STUPID HUMANS WITH YOUR STUPID MINDS."

"Oh yeah? Well, fuck you!" You shout.

Your mom actually looks at you. "Whoa. The movie got you swearing."

"With your stupid writing and your stupid lines!"

"I knew it was a classic, but I didn't think you'd start sweraing."

"I hope you die in a FIRE."

"Actually, Wood's dead."

"...Wait, he is?" You blink.

"Yeah." She says. "Died of a heart attack."

"Oh...uh...how long ago?"

"1978."

"Oh." You blink. "...FUCK YOU WITH YOUR STUPID WRITING AND YOUR STUPID LINES."

"Wow." She snickers. "Wow you really don't like it."

"WHY."

[=]​
Eventually, the movie's done, and when you're done screaming and yelling and laughing at the movie's more terrible dialogue, you sigh. "...That was awful." You say with a giggle.

"Yes. Yes it was. That's why I love it." Your mom sighs. "So now what?"

"Well..." You put a hand to your chin.

[OPTION SELECT]
[] Training time.

[] Talk to mom.

[] Just watch.

[] Relax.

[] INTERNET.
 
So it's what, 3ish PM now? Woke up around 10, three hours cleaning plus ~90min movie. Could possibly go meet Kyoko in the evening, unless people think it would be best to spend all day with Miho?

[x] Relax and talk to Mom.

"Heh." She murmurs. "Doubtful. Maybe Junko can help me but..." She lets out a shuddering sigh. "...I'll get one more paycheck and I'm completely fucked because some idiot ruined everything." She grits her teeth, before she sighs. "I'm going to look online." She says. "Just...fuck it."
thagguy said:
What's Mikimom's relationship like with the Kaname's or Shizuki's? Are they friends, or just "these are the parents of my child's best friend" acquaintances?
Junko is Madoka's mum right?
 
Dirtnap said:
Junko is Madoka's mum right?
Yeah, but that doesn't really tell us if they are friends or not, just that Miho knows Junko well enough to see if she can pull some strings, which doesn't really tell us anything at all besides that they don't hate each other.

The reason why I ask this is because, if they are friends, I want to see if we can give Miho a night with her adult friends, go drinking or whatever, and so that we can meet up with Madoka and Hitomi.

Is it even possible for a meguca to get drunk?
Her mind is no longer located in her brain after all.
She still relies on her body for processing, though, so she'd still get drunk unless she magics it away. A Soul Gem can't think, feel, or experience anything on it's own because it's more of a storage unit than anything.

Basically, think of it like her Soul Gem is a hard drive containing her mind, and the rest of her body's the computer.
