Magical Girl Quest - The Fire That Burns

[x] Naron

Gaia already seems to be amused and found if funny the first time Cerys poked her during the winter wonderland. It seems you're all worried a bit too much.
Oh I'm not worried about Gaia, I'm worried about Cerys making an habit of poking fun at powerful entities.

After all, Cerys doesn't know Gaia personally, so if she teases her, why wouldn't she do so for something else? It's about helping Cerys to not make stupid decision.

It's common sense really...

Cerys has been told about Gaia, that she made her what she is right now and that when she accidentally poked her during the snow Gaia poked back and played along. Cerys connected the dots to this right now and can vaguely feel how Gaia is right now, she isn't talking to a completely unknown entity.

Why would you assume she's going to do this to every single thing she meets afterwards? That's like putting in every vote to not mess with her soul just because she did it once, do you think she really lacks the common sense to not treat other entities differently? I don't believe this is going to cement Cerys' future interactions with every single powerful entity she meets. That's just silly.

Rukia, is Cerys going tease every entity she meets just because she's asking Gaia a question right here?

If not then there is no argument, at least not that one.

See, You're worrying over nothing here people.

Thank you Rukia.

So can we just vote for Naron now that this concern was laid to rest?

I've got a 'better' question to ask, that might come up anyway.

"Is there an easier/better way of contacting you?"

Probably a 'no', but there ya go.

Better than my other thought of saying something like 'Hi other/better mom, how are you?'

Gaia is aware of everything that goes on on Earth, including peoples thoughts.

If you want to talk, she knows, she's probably just ignoring you.
 
I meant that even with omniscience, without omnipotence there's still limits to how many things you can actually pay attention to simultaneously. You can know something without the thought of it ever crossing your mind.


Ok, so the QM just told you that what you are saying isn't the case. Why are you still trying to argue?

ok joking and trolling aside what do we want to talk about with Mother earth?
Honestly it's mostly decided with just one little thing, half the thread don't want to ask if Gaia is a pervert while the other half does. Some say this will cause Cerys to treat all other entities like Gaia the same way, which Rukia has just said that isn't happening. So that argument is invalid and with that I say vote for Naron.

Unless both sides can come together and talk about this more making a compromise.

Actually a point on that:

Gaia is aware of everything that goes on on Earth, including peoples thoughts.

If you want to talk, she knows, she's probably just ignoring you.

and:

Third, and this is the theory that most people believe in and has the most evidence." She actually takes a break here to add tension. "Is that Gaia likes giving cute young girls magical powers because it appeals to her for some reason."

You honestly thought that you would be immune to surprise by this point, but obviously this was the feeling of the bottom of the barrel being hit with a sledgehammer to dig even deeper. "I-I don't?" You make a sound that is a mix between choking and crying "The fuck? The planet is a Lolicon?" I think I am losing the will to live. Is this what it's like to have all of your dreams and illusions shattered by the cold harsh world? You just flounder in your mind a little before a thought comes to mind. Oh god, if the planet is a Lolicon then what about my sister?!?

Cerys has already called Gaia a lolicon out loud, much less thought it. Keep in mind here that the "lolicon" in this case is in view of "real" girls in this case from Cerys point of view (since you know… Cerys is "real" and was turned into a magical girl by Gaia, and her mind then went to her sister).

That is a much worse thing to do then calling Gaia a pervert.

That didn't get any negative response from Gaia, despite the fact that as the a planned "leader" of the new magical girls and being under her direct sponsorship.

Everything we have ever thought or said is as open a dialogue to Gaia as it is now, so I wouldn't put to much stock in the consequences of this currently, especially since her only actually reactions to us so far has been positive despite our horrible first impression of thinking her a lolicon the moment we realized she exists. We have had amusement (current chapter), Pride (Canon omake), aid in making a winter wonderland and a playful boop.

Asking her a question for confirmation of something that she already knows we think of her isn't really bad imo.
 
Thank you for that and hopefully easing people's worries about something they shouldn't be too worked up about.

It's fine to do this without thinking Gaia is going to get pissed everyone.

Though call me shocked it was less then a page long.:V

Wanna vote for it then? You could be the one.... to break this tie.

Except we don't know that IC. We were told to never make fun of her, and the first thing you suggest is to do so. o_O
Sure, if we knew her personally, then teasing her would be alright, except we don't. You're essentially suggesting to take a gamble that will either (possibly) break the ice or endanger Cerys.


For goodness' sake, did you never blurt out something you did not mean to actually say out loud?
Cerys is a teenager, she is allowed to stick her foot in her mouth once in a while.

Just because we have the ability to plan out her every action does not mean we should and I certainly do not want that.

Cerys is not mocking Gaia, or insulting her, she is just asking a question that probably was on her mind every time she thought about her.
Plus, what everyone else said.


@Naron
Would you add saying thank you for the snow day? It was nice of her to help out.
Can do.

New version:

[X] Engage her
-[X] "Are you a pervert?"
-[X] "Hi?"
-[X] "Why did you choose me of all people?"
--[X] "That said... thank you."
-[X] "And... uh... thanks for helping with the snow."
-[X] "So.. how did I come to hide my magic here of all places?"
-[X] "Is there... anything you need done?"


I added the question about how our magic ended up there as well.


Edit: Hey, @Rukia, it seems I am still good at setting the Thread on fire. :V
Although this is more like sparks than an outright flame thus far.

(On the other hand... controversy leads to discussion, which is good... hm...)

Sorry to disappoint on length :V


Also haven't really done any true analysis stuff recently, which probably means I'll have to reread a few updates with a bit of a finer tooth comb later if I have the time but I digress :V

Anyway the true difference in my mind of the two voting blocks is the tone in the start of the conversation.

The "Are you a pervert?" starting the conversation on a more comedic note, which might trickle down the line, and the "Hi?" giving a more potentially awkward, somewhat endearing tone to the beginning (in the line of first meeting with a stranger).

These are actually a bit mutally exclusive imo, because "Hi?" being a question makes it seem a bit unsure she'll answer whereas asking if she is a pervert first would already probably have gotten an answer, kind of ruining the effect. Yet, doing the "Hi?" first then going into the pervert comment, personally, doesn't go with my image of it being something Cerys only said because it was literally the first thing to pop in her mind :V. Also going from awkward or unsure to straight up asking if a person is a pervert is a bit… odd imo.

Ultimately I am rather ambivalent about the options. Either path is fine for me for the conversation to go down.

As long as all the other questions remain the same.

Of course Naron had to add another question that I find fitting in the middle of typing this though, so…

[X] Naron

My ambivalence really only counted when both votes were the same except for how they opened :V
 

That is a good point about the "Hi?".
I actually left it there mostly because I expect... well, I expect this to go down in a way where Gaia is amused at the first question (playful response optional) before Cerys remembers how to do conversation and says hello.
