"... ooh, look at this chair! It's so plush and soft!"

You glance at Sayaka's blank, faintly traumatized expression, and then at Mami, who shrugs at you. Homura has a tiny smile on her face as she watches Madoka squeal over, of all things, a chair. The proprietor of the shop looks frazzled, as if it's not the first time Madoka's been by.

... why are you here again?

This never fails to make me chuckle.

And then I remember that one crazy theory about chairs representing characters that got retconned out of the universe due to one of Madokami's Wishes gone horribly wrong.

Hm.
I wonder how many chairs died in that fire Oriko had instigated.
Thing is, I bet Madoka could tell us the exact number, and then would promptly get depressed.

...
How about starting our own collection?
Madoka collects plushies and chairs.
Homura collects guns basically everything not nailed down to the floor.
We could start... making chibi dolls of our friends?
And then animate them using Grief?
There's not even remotely any way this would go wrong.
 
Word of God is that the chairs represent all the magical girls Madoka thinks about but never saw the faces of.

But what does it mean for us?
Does chair shopping and being in the vicinity of chairs in general increase Madoka's Potential?
Does it mean we have to take the chairs away?
:o

(( All right. Past this point all my posts will be batshit insane. I've been staying awake making calls all night, and well. The next day happened. I'll try not to get so obnoxious that I'll have to be removed from the premises. ))
 
One of these days Homura is going to bring Sabrina into timestop, and beckon her to come with, and walk slowly through Mitakihara frozen in time to the stadium, and it'll full of Sayakas sparring against each other.

And Homura will turn to Sabrina and say: "You did this. This is on you."

EDIT: If you want a vision of the future, imagine Sayakas boot, stamping on Sayakas face, forever.
That would be the cover picture for .....
SUUUPPER SMASHHH SAAAAYAKA!

"Sabrina why"
 
So if we arrange things with Sayaka...



"Welcome to Mitakihara!"

Sabrina, Mami and Sayaka greeted their latest arrival. Homura stood to a side.

The inmigrant Magical Girl fidgeted under the locals' cheerful greetings, but composed herself and bowed.

"Hello, p-pleased to meet you! I'll be in your care!"

"No need for formalities, we're all friends here..." Sabrina scratched her head. "Actually, want a hug?"

The new girl took a step back. "Um..."

"Please don't mind Sabrina," Mami shook her head, patting her friend's shoulder, "she just... really..."

"Really..." added Sayaka.

"... Really likes hugging people," smiled Mami, shrugging as if asking 'what can you do?'. "And making friends."

"Some have called me brain damaged," Sabrina nodded with an easy smile, eyes closed, the picture of wisedom, "I'd prefer to say I'm-"

"Brain damaged," cut in Sayaka.

"That," the white haired girl pointed both index fingers and the bleunette.

The poor new girl slumpled, looking way out of her depth.

"So..."

"So I'd like a hug, if you don't mind," winked Sabrina, "as they said, I like hugs. Look!"

A short sidejump and a spin and Sabrina latched onto Mami, who happily hugged her back.

The new inmigrant meguca got diabetes.

Then Mami let go, Sabrina jumped to her other side, and caught a half-exasperated Sayaka into a tight hug-

POP!

Sabrina's arms closed around herself, a cloud of smoke bursting from the empty space Sayaka used to occupy.

The new arrival's jaw dropped.

The tall girl blinked a few times.

"Oops!" she shrugged. "Happens sometimes," she extended her arms towards Homura, but the time traveller poked her on the ribs and sidestepped her as Sabrina flinched.

"Can't win them all," she graciously accepted defeat, before turning back to their wide-eyed, would-be long-term guest.

"So, hug?" she took a big step forwards, arms open.

"Eek!" the girl jumped back, stumbled, and fell onto her backside. "N-n-no, no, th-thanks I-I d-d-don't..." she gulped as she scrambled back, "d-don't n-n-need any h-hu-hugs-?"

She fell silent suddenly as she bumped into someone.

A shadow fell over the trembling girl.

Slowly, her head turned up, up, up...

"I'm alive!"

Sayaka's grinning visage swooped down as the musical magical girl bent down a caught the new girl in a hug, pulling her up and laughing.

After a second, Sayaka dropped the girl to land on her feet.

The girl stood rigid and still.

A giggling Sabrina approached, followed by Mami.

"Good job!" they high fived Sayaka at the same time.

"So," Sayaka elbowed the new girl, "welcome to Mitakihara, where we're all brain damaged. Just a bit," she held her thumb and index finger just an inch apart, as if to signify the degree of mental problems the new inmigrant would have to deal with and, over time, accept into her being.

The price of infinite magic. And not going to magical girl hell.

"I... think we might have overdone it?" Mami brought a hand to her lips.

All four local girls turned to examine their new arrival, who stood frozen, not even seeming to breathe.

Nor blink, not even when Sabrina waved her hand in front of her eyes.

"Welp," she commented, before holding her own chin and humming wisely. She took a good look at the terrified still girl and declared: "She's now one with the brain damage."

"... Should I hit her with antimagic?" asked Sayaka in a dubious tone.

"I don't think that would do anything?" answered Mami. "We didn't actually use any magic on her, she just..."

"No."

The three non frozen girls turned to the fourth one.

Homura's purple eyes regarded them with utmost seriousness. Her voice took a somber tone that put Sabrina's 'wise' comment to shame:

"You three are just magical."

A microphone randomly dropped from her shield and struck the ground with a defeaning screech, making the four remaining girl flinch- new girl included- at the same time Homura turned on her heel and-

Disappeared.

Silence reigned for a few seconds.

"Dayum," Sabrina let out a breath, before her eyes -and Mami's, and Sayaka's- turned to the new girl, "so, I don't believe I got your name? I'm Sabrina."

The girl stared.

"Eep."

"... We're off to a good start."

Did we just soul snuggles Sayaka? :V

Which, using Sayaklone as a medium between us and Sayaka, somehow made the cleansing work?

Heh. I guess she now understands how Sabrina feels about her a little better.
Wait ... if we did ... remember how we were able to extend our grief control along the vector of Mami's ribbons? Sayaka clones could potentially allow the same thing but without range limit.
Though then again, it's a bit redundant since she can just copy our power outright.

Also, I believe Sayaka clones should henceforth be Sclones
 
That makes a lot of sense. I'll still shiver in instictual horror every time I hear the last sequence of the Holy Quintet, but at least now I know what it means.
If you want it to be really creepy and forshadowing, Houmura's transformation has some rather creepy messages in it including a compliant from her familiars and a suicide note.

Yeah, but it's expected, you know.
As weird as it sounds, genuine happiness creeps me out waaaaay more than the bleakest depression ever could.
Because Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
 
Honestly, bringing up stuff like this, or the math stuff we do with 4D rotations and such, is probably doing a lot more to sell Sayaka on the merits of attending school then any amount of lectures on the importance of "normal things" would.
The argument would have some actual weight if Sabrina actually knew why MMS' syllabus was so weird :V

Sabrina "knows" MMS' syllabus isn't normal but it isn't like she knows anything else to compare it to (or if it's normal in-universe).

As to the time, it's about two or so in the afternoon.
