Just on an aside, we've just been informed of a magical girl that can create things from nothing. I know I've had ideas on how to create new bodies for those that have been de-witched, but that sounds way less messy; presuming what she creates is permanent, of course.
 
Part of aging is accumalating of damage that does not properly heal over time, and while Meguca have better healing they also take more damage than non-augmented humans can sustain and live, so it wouldn't be surprising if an old Meguca actually looks old.
Magical healing can repair things that are normally irreparable, which probably includes the effects of aging.

Also probably quite useful for making money, as per our previous discussions.


[x] Smile enigmatically and say that's a long story. You'll tell her about it later.
[x] Ask why Nadia thinks that Riona might be coming here. It seems odd that she'd risk leaving her territory undefended to chase an unconfirmed rumor of a griefbender.
[x] When she says that Riona is feared, what exactly does she mean? Obviously Riona is dangerous, but is she evil or unstable?
[X] Continue asking the remaining questions from the previous vote.
[X]Ask about Old Lady Catherine. What are her powers, when did she most likely contract, does she have any relatives or friends.
-[X] If asked why, say that it'd be good to get some information on a Puella Magi that has managed to live so long.
[X] After that, open the floor to questions from the others.
[x] When that's done, ask if there's anything that we can do for Nadia, beside keeping her gem clean.
[x] Ask Nadia if she'd be interested in having a Clear Seed.
-[x] If she asks what it will cost her, tell her that she should consider it a gift... but you would like her to consider joining the team. You could use someone with her skills and knowledge to travel around for us. You can pay her in cash or gold.

Aging is the accumalition of damage. The damage which non-meguca accumulate can be magically healed, but Meguca sustain more damage than non-meguca could survive.

What I am saying is that there is not much difference between an arthritic limb and one that was twisted off and couldn't be fully healed due to not enough magic.

Meguca who've lived a long time may stave off the normal damage that accumulates, but active Meguca should make up for it with abnormal damage that magcal healing doesn't fully compensate for.

Aging (appearance-wise) is mostly cells being worn out over time, and can be passively regenerated. Combat damage is typically of a different nature. A meguca who has sustained lots of hard-to-heal injuries may look scarred and battered, but not old and wrinkled. Also, I suspect those who have lived that long would be mostly healers and those who know them.
 
Unless magical healing falls short in a very specific way they're going to look like kids with scars or missing bits. The difference in cost between regrowing an arm perfectly and regrowing an arm with only microscopic defects can't be that significant.

If old magical girls look old it'll be because magic doesn't necessarily care what something actually is.
 
I doubt they'll even have scars or missing bits, unless they choose to keep them. Mami was able to heal our leg back without even having the lichbomb to help her psychologically. The more likely outcome is that lichbombed girls don't age at all and un-lichbombed girls think they're going to grow older and their apparent age tracks their self-image.

Yeah, the only reason Healing wouldn't effect Senescence is because the girl in question doesn't think of age as something to be healed.

All it takes is one prodigy with knowledge of how it works to show all the others it can be done.

Alternatively, if you survive in this business long enough for aging to actually be relevant, you've probably practiced healing yourself enough that you've figured out how to control your own aging process. So at that point, you only age if you want to, and can subtly adjust HOW you age (like making yourself gain more or less height than you would as a normal human).

If the soulguca does show up shall we refer to her as "Riona Mag Aoidh, Lady Holder of Edinburgh" : P
 
Riona Mag Aoidh seems like she will be an interesting meguca to talk to. She might not be the one coming here though. I doubt Nadia knows every single one.

Regardless we treat them the same... nice chat over some of Mami's tea and cakes.

  • [X] A precognitive told me, shortly before her wish magic faded. She caused us quite a few problems at first. That's actually part of why I was asking after someone with danger sense or the like, to have someone who could serve as a check on her, if she regains her powers and decides to stop playing well with others. Plus, helping to protect my friends.
    [X] Speaking of foresight, use your metaknowledge to advise Nadia on which parts of the world are going to be having serious problems this year, and thus should be avoided. She's helping you, you should help her.
    [X] Ask if Riona Mag Aoidh is feared because she's powerful, or because she's powerful and mean. After all, there's a big difference between someone who is friendly enough until you cross them and then becomes a terror, versus someone who likes hurting people.
    [X] Continue with vote in abeyance.

    [x] Offer to make her a Clear Seed. Let her know that if she ever needs backup, we can be there very quickly.
    -[X] Standing Vote: whenever you give a clear seed to someone, make sure that they know not to put it near a normal grief seed.
    -[X] Explain the breadth of your grief powers. Hopefully it will dissuade any greedy magical girls from thinking that they can screw with you.
    --[X] Mention Sabrina's unique karmic potential as an explanation for her unique abilities. Hopefully this will help reassure people who hear about Sabrina and think that her powers are unbelievable.
    -[X] Ask about the organizational structure of the larger groups. If we're going to have a lot of girls in Mitakihara, we need to know how to organize them without chaos.
    -[X] Since many girls will be unwilling to travel to Mitakihara, does Nadia have any thoughts on how we could setup a courier service for girls to send grief seeds to be cleansed/cleared and then returned?
    -[X] Explain what happened in the Sendai conflict from your perspective.
    -[X] Trade what you know about Walpurgisnacht for what she knows about Walpurgisnacht.
    [x] I bribed the White Rat. With Grief. Lots and lots of it. And I'll bribe it again to keep other pertinent questions to itself, seeing as how I don't actually have to give it Grief. *angry glares at probable places Kyuubey is*
