Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Reader mode
By the way, anyone feels Sayaka intends to talk with Hitomi... perhaps about Kwyjibo...?

"Of course!" Hitomi says, smiling. "I'll see you all after dinner."

"Ah, are you taking the bus?" Sayaka asks. "I'll come with you."

"Sayaka, you really don't have to," Hitomi says, making a face.

"It's no problem," Sayaka insists. "We don't live that far apart anyway, now."

Hitomi sighs, not protesting any further.

Somehow, I don't get the feeling it's just Debt!Sayaka trying to play knight.

Pertinent: Niko made her wish in private, because she thought it was selfish/embarrassing/she didn't want to/couldn't expose the others to her tragic background. It's entirely likely they still don't know what exactly she wished for (unless she's already fed them a white lie), and are oblivious to the existence of Kanna-- they just know that she has a thing about guns, which is reasonably easy to explain away. It doesn't help that she's the most aloof and reclusive of the bunch, either.

Hmm. Also urgh... Mami's background is a rather unhappy one. Put in a stipulation of 'only if your comfortable sharing'?

Her recent background is pretty dark, sure, but she should have positive memories of her parents from before the Orphaning. I guess we should let Brinapilot handle it - she may have spoken with Mami about Mami's family situation out of earshot of the fourth wall, and in any case has the body language and reactiontime we don't to change course if Mami is uncomfortable.

I would like to hear about Mami's upbringing though, when she's okay with telling us. Good on Firn for making Mami interesting enough that I want to hear cute baby stories about her.

Was this perhaps meant for Mumi Quest? Because that's a little too aggresivly phrased for Sabrina. Sabrina should think, "It's too bad Mami hasn't received a Brinakiss!"

Nope, I want Brina to get kisses. :p

Our dinner in Italy plan is not something we can accomplish any time soon (same with moon date :V ), so we need to figure out some other date plans.

Disguise one of our flying grief platforms as a blimp. Set up a table on top of the blimp. Have dinner among the fucking clouds.

Well, maybe on among the clouds themselves... and we'd have to do something about the temperature, but it should be done!

...

You know, I was thinking some date plans (Italy, moon) couldn't be done because we need to entertain guests...

But I bet Kazumi would love help us set up a date with Mami! :D

Oh, I know! What about this:

- Ask Kazumi to telepathy her friends and set us up a date with Mami at Asunaro.
- Go on as normal; when we bring Kazumi, Kaoru and Umika back to Asunaro, we spend some time with Mami and the Pleiades (and whoever comes with) as planned.
- Before coming back from Asunaro... Surprise date with Mami!
- Then see the Pleiades again to say goodbye before leaving.

I call this plan the Pantless Date. How's it sound?
 
I had a stray thought while I was falling asleep earlier.
Setting aside the fact that a poorly-timed, poorly-prepped drop of the Witchbomb is liable to destroy Mami, there's another reason I'd like for us to reprioritise that very soon:

Mami is obviously our priority, but she's far from the only one we need to be worried about; there are a whole bunch more girls headed our way. Some of them will know and some of them won't. If they're lodging near each other (which sounds relatively likely), it'll only take one flippant comment to send an uninformed Meguca into a spiral. And if it's not caught in time, I don't like the odds that no one will notice it happening. Or wonder where so-and-so disappeared to, and why is there a pristine Witch labyrinth in the depression where her body was on her bed in her locked bedroom?

Sabrina cannot be everywhere and, IMHO, has a fairly spotty record with being generally kind, warm, and comforting. Mami is her heart in more ways than one, and would be invaluable both with helping these girls cope, planning how to scale it (seven dots in hospitality), and also helping US cope with helping them.

I almost want to assert that it behooves us to make sure every girl coming into the city is informed just to help inoculate the populace against the memetic threat of grief epidemics. Sheesh, Meguca mental health and support is going to end up being a pretty big industry, isn't it...

(With nearly 5k pages, I fully expect someone's brought up all of these points before. Forgive me; I'm worried now that things really seem to be looking up.)

I'm not sure I understand you. Are you suggesting that we Witchbomb every immigrant/refugee coming into Mitakihara?

I also don't feel like the Witchbomb is something any meguca would just carelessly blurt out--it's a horrible revelation, and not one you'd want to spread around without very careful consideration. You never know how someone will take it.

[X] Keep chat light during dinner.
-[X] Share your vague plans for world-wide Grief cleansing with everyone.

[X] If you have a few idle minutes at any point, as Mami to try extending your range with her ribbons.

[X] Witch Hunt.
-[X] Ask Sayaka if she feels confident in her Clone Power to scout ahead. That should become standard practice, to be honest.
-[X] Play support and battlefield control. Pay attention to the Pleiades' styles.
-[X] Clear the Seed and give it to the Pleiades.

I'm thinking we could squeeze range extension SCIENCE! while waiting to meet up for the Witch Hunt?
 
[X] Dinner
- [X] Broach discussion about SCIENCE!
- [X] Failing interest in that topic, give people a chance to talk about their interests.

[X] Witch hunt.
- [X] Make sure everyone knows what to expect from everyone during the hunt.
- [X] Ask Sayaka if she feels confident in her Clone Power to scout ahead.
- [X] Play support. With so many girls you won't be as needed on the front lines but there's more room for error. Do your part by helping look after people.
- [X]Use the opportunity to put your nanoparticle utility fog through the ropes.

[X] Make sure you have a moment after the hunt to talk to Sayaka in private.

I'll be honest, I'm not that interested in just giving away a clear seed. Sure, we're constantly handing out seeds, but we're also constantly handing out seeds. Would be nice to have more of a buffer in case something comes up. (For instance, to exchange for Aurora)
