Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

The original plan was to show Sayaka the privacy sphere with the pretext of having her try to copy it with Kazumi's power. No asking her if she's an angel involved.
 
I'm of the opinion that Sayaka's not an angel.

As far as the discussion a few pages back about witchbombing girls, I'm with DK. It's a safety issue. Sure, some might have a more delayed reaction to the information, but with appropriate safety measures to prevent Tetris from happening, the impact from such events should be relatively low compared to an outbreak of Witchbombings. A Witchbombing outbreak would result in multiple deaths via witchout before we even noticed something wrong, and probably more as we rush to solve the situation. Whereas if we take precautions to witchbomb girls in small groups, some short amount of time after they've arrived (to give them a chance to settle in), we should be able to prevent them from witching and react immediately to any Tetris situations that arise. The major risks would be Tetris in that case, if we're personally involved, because we can prevent a group of girls from witching out via constant cleansing.

I do think there should be a slight delay to allow the girls to settle into the area. As such we should probably develop some manner of "pre-bombing" them, warning them that they're going to be in a high-density situation with girls of a mixture of different levels of information, and that there are infohazards present that could be highly lethal. And there shouldn't be any need to separate girls from girls - having witchbombed girls present during witchbombings and lichbombed girls present during lichbombings would be beneficial because they would have already developed coping mechanisms for such things.

I imagine eventually we'll have the manpower to set up the "classes" in such a manner that we don't need to be present to prevent Tetris. I could see them staffed by a teacher/psychiatrist and a small contigent of Police, all equipped with non-lethal techniques and Clear Seeds to prevent Tetris and Witchouts with the highest possible efficiency.

I think this is the safest way to operate a dense Meguca society. If we don't make absolutely sure everyone is bombed, and do it very carefully to prevent negative effects, then we put ourselves at risk of Infoplague, which could result in serious negative effects. There's a reason Pestilence is a horserider of the apocalypse - disease, even if it's a Infodisease, kills young civilizations. Not making sure our population is properly Infobombed would be like a modern society not making sure their sewers work properly, or not having hospitals where people wash their hands.
 
By the way, people, since Soulguca's coming soon and she seems to be a very scary lady, I really would like to see what protections we can put in our Soul Gem.

Say, try to make Speckled Enchantments of protection; if they work, ask Mami to copy them.

If the don't work... just get a fake replica of our Soul Gem and put and encase our Soul Gem in a Grief Sphere for safekeeping, or something?
 
Another major problem with trying to figure out who's been Witchbombed without tipping off the ones who weren't: If it's subtle enough to not get non-knowers to start looking into it, it's subtle enough that anyone who does know might think we don't. And then they hide it to not Witchbomb us.

She's not hostile. She's scary because she's powerful and deadly, not because she's mean or a bully.
 
"ARE YOU OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN AN AGENT PF THE LAW OF CYCLES!?!?"

"I'M NOT A COMMIE! I SWEAR! I JUST LIKE THINGS STARTING WITH KYOU- AND THE COLOR RED!"

I don't think that we've ever actually determined whether that's the case.

"Riona. Is she feared because she's powerful, or because she's powerful and mean? There's a difference, after all."

"Powerful. She's..." Nadia mutters for a second in Darija, taking a moment to stuff her mouth with more fries, chewing and swallowing before continuing. "Reserved, yes. Does not become friends. If she offers cider, refuse politely, fimti? She brews it herself, but it is..." The Moroccan girl winces.

A warning about homemade cider seems pretty clear-cut to me.

You know what this sounds like?



Challenge accepted.

EDIT: I mean, we can get hugs from Homu, we can befriend this girl. :p
