uhh... thinking about it, the next time Sayaka says something about her not helping enough, we tell her that, besides fighting, and we aren't really planning on being on a fight anytime soon, Mami and Homura don't do much either (well, Homura stalks Madoka, but we cannot tell her that).
See I've considered this and uh... Not a fan because going there is beyond the point. We've helped Sayaka... part of the thing is, Mami and Homura may not do too much day to day but when things happen they go
ham. Oriko. The Sendai conflict. Etcetera.
You're right that Sayaka is hugely useful for just being Seikyu-HONNAH-Samurai-Angeru-of-social. I'm... leaning towards not going into full detail on that tho, just yet. Let's see if we can get mileage out of this specific thing first, and let's see if we can keep this convo short enough to not worry Mumi.
Nyan~
Conveniently, Sabrina has already been throwing Sayaka at every Magical Girl social situation. Need to diplomacy Kyouko? Throw Sayaka at the problem. Meeting up with Nadia? Bring Sayaka. Checking in on the Touhou girls? Get Sayaka to come with and smooth things over.
The answer to Sayaka wanting to be useful is "don't you realize I'm shamelessly using you already, constantly? I'm building a giant coalition of magical girls, and you're the only magical girl I know and trust who can actually talk to other magical girls effectively and not have a nervous breakdown. You're irreplacable in the plan. Sorry, I thought you knew. That's why I keep asking you to meet up with magical girls I'm trying to recruit."
Good point, too much at wrong time. We need to initiate with that instead of transitioning into it lol. Also... in the interest of telling the truth, this is something we hadn't been planning on. She just kind of made it work because she's a boss. More evidence for it will accrue over time I think, too.
I would get rid of "this is the second motive for the training with Kyouko". We don't want to make it seem like we're trying to manipulate Kyouko. We can keep the "it's kind of a really big deal", because it is, but without the "second motive" part, it makes it feel like we're asking her to try something we thought of after the fact, rather than a planned manipulation.
You're right, but not in the Kyouko part, it would still be manipulative towards her (which doesn't mean we shouldn't try to help her); but we should probably drop that line because it makes it sound like we were manipulating Sayaka to do that, then again, she may not mind, I mean we're telling her now aren't we?
I mean, the line sounds bad due to subtext of the words used, yeah. But... "This is the second reason why we're having her train with Kyouko."
I don't think there's actually a problem there. I can alter the wording to that, though, given how many free words we have...
[X] You were slow to decide on this, but...
-[X] Brief Sayaka on the broad strokes of the Kyouko issue. Scarce hunting, mental/emotional problems left unspecified because privacy.
[X] We stay in Kyouko's tolerance by not pushing things too much. But
somebody has to push things, or she'll never change... and she
needs to change. This is the second reason we're having her train with Kyouko. It's kind of a really big deal.
---[X] yes Sayaka is the right choice for this, best way to do it is probably to loudly be Sayaka.
-[X] Also, if she's looking for something to work while sore from training, you'd suggest clones. Manpower... er, Megucapower? is valuable.
[X] Sayaka hugs? Tell Blueberry she's awesome.
[X] Transform stress into happiness through mumihugs.
[X] Karaoke!
-[X] Have a duet with Mami.
