Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Reader mode
Actually, just an idle poke: all current votes kinda treat situation as if Oriko already agreed with such an interpretation. Lack of denial is pretty indicative, true, but still isn't it a big-ish assumption?

So, I just had a sudden insight.

[X] Continue to be empathetic and calm. Getting mad at Oriko won't help anything. Continue being affectionate toward Mami to keep yourself calm.
[X] Offer Oriko hope and support as she deserves them.
[X] Agree that it's difficult to change yourself just by thinking it.
[X] Reassure Oriko that you know it's possible, if difficult, for powers lost from rejecting a wish to come back.
[X] Furthermore, point out that she doesn't need her powers to be able to help or find the meaning of her life. After all, Kirika wished that she could help Oriko, and the power her wish gave her was anti-magic.
[X] Bring back up the topic of finding the meaning of her life. Suggest that rather than trying to make others happy, she tries to find what makes her happy.
[X] Ask Oriko and Kirika if there's anything you can get them to help them pass the time (books, games, movies?), then depart and ask Homura for a timestop.

I only want to see a "We'll try to get agreement to chaperone you on outside trips" bit added to this. Because that's all it's missing.

Now if you'll excuse me. I'll be over there as I attempt to retrieve my jaw from the floor.

No time to debate or even fully read through the thread, but a few points to bring up:

  • Regarding Oriko "deciding to be happy": she's already decided that. She just hasn't noticed she's made the decision yet. Exhibit A: the girl in her lap.
  • There's another, less morbid, example of Oriko's blind spot: when she packed together a safehouse, she thought of everything: clothes, food, even an internet connection. There's one thing she didn't pack though, one thing she couldn't possibly think she'd need: a second futon.
  • Oriko's unconscious mind may not want to consider her own happiness, may think that she is unworthy of being happy or whatever. There is, however, someone else, someone she does think is worthy of happiness. She might even be very nearby, right now...
  • And yes, much of this is designed to get a certain girl to blush incandescently, which I regard as a good secondary goal. :D
 
[Q] Pull Best Buddy aside.
-[Q] OK, you'll share one of your Big Secrets with her because it's IMPORTANT.
--[Q] You're thinking of reasearching CLONES.
---[Q] With CLONES you can, yes, she got it, give more HUGS.
 
I still need to catch up and don't know the context but if people's minds are being blown by it we had better do this.

--[Q] "Who, oh who out there would prefer a World without Kirika on it? Tell me Oriko, would you do that to the World? Take Kirika away from it? Who would, in their right mind, ever want that?"

*Outside, Homura feels an unexplainable urge to raise her hand*

---[Q] "I said in their right mind."
----[Q] "... I don't know where that came from."

Forgot about this.

We need to move up Asunaro on our PMAS schedule. Need to see if clear seeds are able to use bodies yet.

We could try and make Grief bodies if it's just for SCIENCE. Even little Grief bodies in the Witches' images.

No need to get a permanent body for this since we'd want to dewitch Seeds before we need to put them in actual bodies.
 
One thing that could be added to the vote that I'm not sure anyone's touched on is: We've been focusing on getting Oriko to realize that her wish was to find meaning in her life, but perhaps we should also mention that her wish was to find meaning in her life?

That is to say, encourage her to be a little bit selfish. Maybe mention the whole trouble with how "selfless" wishes almost always backfire, tell her that while we know for a fact that people who can be fulfilled by being completely selfless do exist (we're friends with Madoka, after all) they are also incredibly rare, and just because her father went completely overboard with his selfishness doesn't mean she should make herself unhappy by trying to follow the exact opposite path. Selfishness actually isn't that bad of a trait at all as long as it's kept in moderation.

I kind of thought it was obvious, to be honest :V

Anywho, thinking of something like [] Before you go, you have to apologize for those comments you made a couple of weeks ago about Kirika; when you landed your metaknowledge was that, if the two of them did contract, Kirika would make hers first and go for a rather ill-advised 'I want to be someone Oriko likes', which would have left her with a passive time dilation power on top of a big heaping scoop of mental instability. Oriko, in turn, would not initially know about her wish, and would have handled the eventual revelation rather poorly. Her wishing to be what you needed rather than to be what you wanted? You really lucked out there.
-[] The only thing you can think of that could have caused Kyubey to switch things up was your own arrival. Kind of funny if you think about it.

Just, you know, cleaned up and way less wordy. And maybe just chop the second bit off entirely.
