Sayaka: "Why should I let her stay with me?"
Sabrina: "Color coordination!"
Sayaka: "...what."
Sabrina: "No, really! See, My hair is silver and Mami's is gold and that matches perfectly. Homura and Madoka have this black-and-pink contrast thing going on which works really well. Meanwhile, you're blue hair goes perfectly with Kyoko's red. And if we count Yuma its a full set!"
Sayaka: "...I'm afraid to ask, but... full set how?"
Sabrina: "RGB!"
Kyoko: "Her brain damage is acting up again."
Sayaka: "Yes, it is," <Sighs, grabs Kyoko's hand> "Come on - its easier to just go with it. My place is this way."
Mami: "Oh, Sabrina..."
Sabrina: "I'm actually glad she bought that, otherwise shipping the two of them would have been really hard."
Homura: "Did you just... fake brain damage?"
Sabrina: "Yup!"
Homura: <Despairs>

Sayaka: *at dinner* ... OH DAMN IT
Kyouko: What?
Sayaka: SHE WAS FAKING IT
 
So I've been reading The Way of Kings, and it got me to wondering: What would happen if a Shardblade was used on a Magical Girl? Now, obviously, nothing good would come out of testing such a thing, but that doesn't mean I can't speculate. Also, I'm 99.99% certain that using it on her Soul Gem would be an instant kill no matter how you slice it (:V), so I'm only interested in what would happen to her body.
Case 1: The Shardblade cuts through her body like it would through, say, stone. This happens because there is no soul there, so it's treated as non-living. Wounds can be healed as normal.
Case 2a: The Shardblade acts like it does with any normal human, i.e. cuts through limbs render those limbs useless, a cut to the CNS kills.
Case 2b: The Shardblade does not harm the flesh, as normal, but instead damages the Soul Gem, despite not hitting it.
Case 3: A Magical Girl's body is essentially immune to Shardblades, as the flesh is certainly living, but the soul is not there to be harmed.
Any of you fine people have thoughts on this?

I think case 3 is the most likely effect.

Well, being sick and homebound sure opens up a lot of time on your hands. I've also always been a fast reader. I once read The Fires of Heaven in a single day. Took me a total of 22 and 1/2 hours, but I did do it. Of course, back then I was young and stupid, and still in college.

Still never expected to catch up on this. I mean, I only started last Sunday.

Well, I probably won't participate too much, at least right away, because there are so many irons in the fire that I better not start trying to do my own plans.

I will say that I think the following might be a good idea to add:

[] Mention that Kyubey tried to intervene with the meeting. He might try something with everyone else tonight.
-[] Also, put his dead body into storage. Might become useful at some point to create a grief receptacle. Didn't the Saints have something like that in the works?

So, looking it up:

Article:
No two Shardblades are the same,[7] but all Shardblades cut easily through most inanimate matter, so long as the Blade is kept in motion. They do not cut living flesh; instead the metal fuzzes as it passes through, killing without leaving a mark or spilling blood. It was said that Shardblades sever the soul itself, the only indication of death being that the victim's eyes burn out. Any part of the body that is cut dies instantly. If the Blade touches a man's spine, he dies, eyes burning. If it cuts through the core of a limb it effectively kills that limb, rendering it permanently limp, numb, and useless. A limb severed by a Shardblade needs to be reattached to the soul before it will function again.


Based on what injuries to limbs do, it looks like shardblades not only cut souls themselves, but also connections to souls. As such, I think that a shardblade would sever a magical girl's control over that limb, but for magical girls regaining that control is much easier than it is for normal people. Similarly, a hit to the spine would be an insta-gemming, but would still be able to be recovered from just like any other gemming. A hit to the soul gem would instantly kill, of course.

Not sure the particular Incubator drone is dead yet. Of course, that only makes it more valuable for SCIENCE. *XCOM Intensifies*
 
Even if it's unoccupied, that doesn't mean it isn't recording. We're keeping Homura's notebook in our hammerspace, we can just carry the bunnycat around normally until we can drop it off with VahlenNiko. Assuming she needs it, since Incubator corpses aren't that hard to come by.

The books haven't really explained how Shardblades work, but its heavily implied in Oathbringer that they sever the connection between soul and body (hence the burned and smoking eyes thing).
Given that meguca souls aren't inside their bodies, they are probly immune to Shardblades, unless the blade hits the Soul Gem.
Or... maybe getting slashed has the same effect as getting the Gem far from the body, making it look like a kill, but the meguca will be fine if it has time to reconect with the Gem.
 
Sabrina: *runs into Meguca with pitch black sword*..... Homura
Homura: yes?
Sabrina: we're doomed, leave this universe.

Didn't we determine that when the yellow rings around it's ears disappear that that means it is dead and no longer recording?
 
Hmmm.... thanks for pointing that out to me.

Okay... well, I guess I'll go ahead and vote then? I don't really see any bandwagon yet so... I might switch my vote if there is another vote comes up that ties in more with existing plans?

[X] Let Mami control the flow of conversation. Respond with enthusiasm and praise for how things are working out, but let her lead, this is her moment.
-[X] If she asks to know Kyouko's story, tell her
-[X] Ask as serious, actual questions: Did that go better than the last time she spoke with Kyouko? How does she think it went differently? And why does she think it went differently?
--[X] After giving her time to think/respond: you pretty much didn't do anything there, except to confirm what Mami had already recognized and to act as moral support. Frankly, from your perspective, you'd say that things were were going roughly the same as last time for a while, and then Mami did something different from last time and suddenly things started going right.
---[X] Talk about what she did different and why it worked.
[X] Say something to Sayaka/Homura
-[X] Inform them the Incubator tried to show up in the middle of the conversation.
--[X] You stopped it from moving, and are still holding it prisoner.
--[X] Should you release it and let it say what it wants to say? Let Mami decide.
[X] Ask Yuma to keep an eye on Kyouko for us, we think things are getting better, but sometimes healing hurts

You know, seeing Mami come as far as she has made me think of something.

Throughout the time I was reading PMAS the first time through, I noticed something about Sabrina. Personally to me, it kinda felt like she was always slightly on guard, closed off, just waiting for something to happen that she'll have to help with. Like this tension that was there in the background, not completely tangible, but there nevertheless. The feeling persisted throughout the story...

Until Mami.

When we opened up to Mami after we dealt with She-who-must-not-be-named, and we told her we like her as much as we do, there was this feeling that kinda went through the story from then on.

For lack of an better word, everything kinda felt warmer since then. Now, Sabrina feels more open, and we make more breakthroughs then we've ever done before. We help Homura understand Sayaka, we tell Oriko and Kirika that we consider them friends, we pushed Kyouko to talk to Mami, we explain to Homura why we trust Oriko, and most importantly, Homura told Mami that she's a time traveler, and we dropped the Witchbomb on Sayaka with no problems.

Had it not been for Mami, we might have still been ever so slightly closed off from our friends, and this all might not have happened in the way that it did.

Sorry if this kinda came out of nowhere, but I felt like getting my thoughts out there.

Mami is confident that Kyouko and Yuma will come to Mami's place so this is a bit weird.

[X] Say something to Sayaka/Homura
- [X] Thank them for being here
[X] Head home
[X] Talk to Mami
- [X] Mami is amazing and brilliant and badass and beautiful and whatever other compliments you can think of in the moment
- [X] Also you really messed up by not telling her Kyouko's backstory ahead of time and you're very sorry did you mention how pretty Mami is
[X] Prepare something for Kyouko?
- [X] Taiyaki?
- [X] Maybe Mami has ideas?
 
Got done catching up a few days ago, and while it is off of the current topic, does anyone know if we should deliver a clear seed to Tsubaki Mikoto and tell her about Walmartnight? I know her wish was to have the power to defeat Witches, which both seems like it would be useful when dealing with the biggest one, and something that might imply she would be interested in helping fight just out of principle. Someone who read Suzune Magica might be good for this question.

also any other finished or ongoing quest reccs? I actually got started on this site from Number None, which I thought was neat.

EDIT: Sorry if I remembered wrong and she is already gone or whatnot.
