Easy to Find - Sayakaquest 2

Reader mode
To make people actually remember, here's it once for posterity: Minako is nonbinary and uses they/them. This message will be pinned so you people stop getting it wrong and pissing me off. If you get it wrong in the future I'm going to be much less nice, considering you have to scroll past it just to read the quest.
 
Whomst is this? Why are there not even but the barest hints as to whomst we are? Why is there a blue box underneath the threadmarks bar?

In order: No fucking clue1​, because Moid's a tease, and because a few people were being idiots.


1​Well, I have a couple ideas, but practically nothing to base them on.
 
[X] "September 28th... of what year?

Homu did so many loops it fucked up the world line y/n?
 
Wait.
Mami?!

[X] Ask more questions.
-[X] What year is it?
-[X] What does "brought you here" mean?
-[X] Is there a cup of tea in the place where they're leading you to?

:V

Yuki's relatively new; hot pink hair, in his early twenties, and he just started his college program in Mitakihara. He's taller than you by a head, toned and muscular. Not quite to Akane's levels, but you'd guess that he's at least as strong as you are. And you know that part of the reason he moved to town was also because Mitakihara is more than willing to pay for hormone therapy.

Huh, I thought Incubators offered free transition upon contract as a sort of added lure for trans kids. Maybe he only realized he was a guy after contracting and the Incubator was like "no backsies."

Anyway Yuri sounds OP as hell if the current viewpoint is actually here permanently, which could explain how they have so many magi around-they draw new recruits in from alternate timelines and anyone they lose is fuel. Plus the disorientation plays well with Rin's cult leader superpower.

I wonder, if we looked into the histories of the kids that we've poached from Kasamino recently, what we'd find? Maybe they died years ago or were never born...

Minor note: gee it sure is coincidental that the two timeline manipulators have names that are different by one letter.

This is a good idea.

[X] "What else about me is on the grapevine?"

I'm not to sure about this... primarily because I have no idea what we're supposed to do.

Actually, I was thinking it might be Mami. Probably not the Mami of this timeline, but...

You don't remember how you got here. The last thing you remember is training a couple of magical girls...a couple of friends of...that's right.

You had just met a new student. A new magical girl that had contracted with Kyubey just a couple of days ago. You thought she had potential, believed it with all your heart.

These girls are Madoka and Homura, if she's from Timelines 1-3, or Madoka and Sayaka if it's anything after. And of course, Madoka has (had) potential up the ass.

You look around. It really doesn't look all that familiar at all. It seems like Kasamino in name only.

Unfamiliar with surroundings- she wouldn't have seen Mitakihara's reconstruction.

Styles hair with magic.

I might be way off base, here, but it's a possibility that I'm right.

And that Sayaka has gitted gud enuff that she is no longer the 'budget' Mami

You mean, when Lady Rin tells her the sad truth that Sayaka has gone evil and rules a city with an iron fist, thus needing be stopped for the good of the universe, and if you don't trust her, ask their mutual pal QB.

Nah, Incubators are willing to change it at any time.

But he kind of has a pretty unhealthy mindset wrt the instant change and he opted out.

Another point in the theory's favor.

To be fair, while we do know that Kyoko had a crush on Mami, we don't know if they were actually involved.

But yeah. Helluva shock.
 
If it is Mami, the only advice I have is... don't ask anything that can be too easily slanted? Like, obviously Rin's going to get to her first, and there's no stopping that Rin's a charming, manipulative cult leader. But at least give it as little fuel as possible. Like, on the one hand we as voters kind of want to know what "brought you here" means, but on the other hand... hrm.

...actually, that's the question. Are we asking questions so that we, as voters, know, or trying to ask questions that give Maybe-Mami-Maybe-Not the best chance not to get too hoodwinked (if that's at all possible.)

Whoever it is, the fact that they're meeting Lady Rin means there's a good chance that they will be our enemy at some point in the future, at least for a time.
 
If this is Mami one of our first order of business will be to head to our apartment and in doing so realize things.

Not gonna work. At least, not atm.

Edit: also, head puns. Since the Moid's one who started them this time around, it means we can escalate.

A shame I don't really know a lot of head puns, they're always a headscratcher to come up with.

I'm guessing a magi is messing with timelines? You know that they can't mess with the past, cor-'

Ah, another law of magic that can be circumvented easily enough.
You can't change the past. If, for example, your friend is dead, she'll stay dead.
But you can jump to another timeline very similar to your past where a person very similar to your friend's still alive (Homura). Or you can summon such a person from such a timeline to you (Yuri, probably).

What I don't understand is not messing with the past part, since, well, Yūki explicitly can and does.

Maybe it's just he who's so awesome and other edgy timeline scrublords can't compare?

I assume Yuki just splits off a new timeline for his past self, who proceeds like he just got a very accurate prediction of the next two hours, and meanwhile his friends and family in the old timeline can comfort themselves that a version of him didn't make the same mistakes somewhere.

I wonder if he's ever used his power only for it to not work and he realizes he's the one stuck in the old timeline. Every time he uses it is like flipping a coin. There's a version of him that got heads every time and a much, much larger number of versions that got tails at least once.

Hes probably created more timelines than Homura actually, if he's a twentysomething magical boy. I suppose the world as a whole is lucky he doesn't have anyone to fixate on and spend hour after hour failing to save until their karmic weight is a black hole of potential.

His powers are centered around time reversal, about comparable to an undo button. Part of why he's lasted as long as he has is because of his ability to just bring himself an hour back in time.

Well, that and he also possesses the ability to read possibilities based on his previous failed attempt. He can see how the rest of the timeline would have progressed before he resets, usually an hour ahead. This gives him an idea of how parallel universes can set up; he can see the different possibilities almost immediately.

Yuki is a video game protagonist.

We need to get Sayaka, Yuki, Madoka, and Homura to have drinks together.

"Hello, as you all know, I'm Sayaka, and I'm a quest protagonist."

"Hi, I'm Yuki, and I'm a video game protagonist. By the way, am I not supposed to get colored dialogue, too?"

"Later."

"Heh. I'm Madoka, and I'm a-"

"I am the protagonist in her show. I'm Homura."

"... You're not supposed to say that."

"I thought I was the protagonist of the show?"

"That was just Urobuchi being a troll. Well, look at me. Guns?"

"Check."

"Awesome hair?"

"Fine, check."

"Agency?"

"Hey!"
