[X] Rin, Sakura.
-[X] Be brief. Promise emotional support.
Here to Help! This is helping.
-[X] Acknowledge how Rin stood up
for her friends, and helped Akiko.
###Big Change###
The reason to take this tact is to comply with Rin's interests. She obviously doesn't like leading much, so she feels she needs to lead? Did she do that to be ideally just? I think she accepted leadership to help her friends. This does help Akiko, by holding the group together after Akiko lost that ability. Further, she got them all off of a moral agenda that had gone way over the line into trouble. Sabrina wound up becoming the face of that trouble, but it was inevitable. Therefore, understanding she did not so much 'use willpower to override the bad decisions of her people,' as 'stepped in to do what her people needed her to do' is understanding Rin better. I propose this is the way Rin thinks.
-[X] Ask Rin how
she is doing. Take her answer at face value.
Social, and respectful.
-[X] Talk about the importance of understanding that a Wish is never over, and her girls need help to get up and pursue each of theirs.
Here to Help! We already were told about the problem. The coaching is the cure. Rin heals people, get her to try.
-[X] Get hit by Sakura, take it well. Give her an invitation to come back and spar sometime.
So, she's going to malfunction. We will be not giving her 'space.' But at least she wouldn't be running away if she hit Sabrina. Turn it into a bonding moment.
--[X] Curse back at her. (conditional, done to express fondness)
This would be the way to acknowledge her as a powerful person, not a bug beneath Sabrina's heel. Sakura might hate feeling powerless in comparison to Sabrina. Giving her a positive outlet to balance that, such as a 'rivalry,' would be positive? Trying to go full-Shinbo here, re-interpreting female conflict behavior and swapping in male conflict norms. Totally works as Original Flavor, amirite?
[X] Let's make it a summit! Share threat info freely.
-[X] Ask Kazumi if she wants in on the mutual defense pact.
--[X] It's kind of understood that we have one, but it might be fun to make it official.
We want to treat the other groups fairly, and not 'trick' anyone into fighting. If we tell them the truth, we are helping. Here to Help! Our best friends will come to fight. The folks who can't pull their own weight will have time to run. We need all the help we can get, but not conscripts. Further, I think we really would like to aide anyone with hunting. It is on mission for us, because if we prevent a hunting fatality, we get to save both the girl, and the witch. Kyuubey is the alpha predator. Recycling seeds saves them.
Making a 'summit' will also get Mami a better Social position. This is novel among Magical Girls, but they all know about this stuff from the news. We are answering a civilizing impulse, and that helps immediately.
We should offer Rin and Sakura a Mutual Offense Pact.
We'll agree to engage in continuous, low-level harassment of each other.
They can call Sabrina names. We'll have Kirika order unwanted pizzas to be delivered to their address. Then, they can spread scurrilous rumors about Sayaka and Homura, and we'll retaliate by sneaking into their base and stealing the laces from all their shoes.
It'll be fun, and a nice contrast to the mutual defense pact. And it'll fit with their existing motivations!
Liking it! But the vote script above comes close enough?
