And man, 12 magical girls is enough to run a Chinese zodiac theme. Though I'm pretty sure a minor war would break out between them if they tried to figure out who gets to represent which animal. (Or at least avoid rat mouse and pig boar.)

I prefer phrasing the "introduce as Kures" as a little more... casual? Not joking necessarily, we want them to blush with the truth of it more than laugh it off, but this seems toooo formal for what it is. But thats a small nitpick I suppose.
Frankly, they're married in all but name, by this point.

Hell, Kirika even put a gold ring on Oriko's finger!

Besides, it's not like either of them would be bothered by the teasing. Hell, Kirika would probably be flattered and secretly like the idea, while Oriko would at least respect how subtle and dignified of a form of teasing it is.
 
I'd like to suggest team name: Team Star Fleet. Anything with numbers won't work once meguca join or leave.

Unless we create a word that represents a number that is always equal to the amount of meguca in the team.

"Sabrina, did you just invent a magical eldritch word just for the team name?"

"Eh, it's not that bad, and it sounds cool, right? Team-"

"DON'T. Say it. Just don't, it makes my ears bleed."

"Let's see what Mami thinks."

*Sighs in contentment while hugging Sabrina's arm*

"... I think she likes your commitment to making up stupid team names."

"Hey, it's not stupid. It's re-"

*Kisses Sabrina's cheek*

"eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."

Bonus points if Sayaka gets a laugh at Oriko's expense.

Okay, so, something has been bothering me for a while now.

Remember how, way back during the Great Timestop Hunt, Oriko said that we would meet again, despite the fact that we were going to execute her if she didn't cooperate? As in, she seemed utterly confident that we would meet again even after her soul gem was crushed/shattered.

Obviously, that should be impossible. And with Kirika already contracted, no-one would be willing to Wish to resurrect her. So what could possibly have happened in the future to bring Oriko back from the dead? Are we secretly dealing with some kind of Rebellion-style situation and not even realizing it?

We have to ask Oriko about what she saw that made her convinced that we would meet again even after she'd been gem-shattered-dead. As in, the exact details of what she saw. It could be very important.
 
Okay as far as this goes:

[] Give Oriko a hand. Remind her she's stronger than she thinks.

It's still at the point where it concerns me. While it's not as obvious, it reads to me like it's hinting at things in a way that Kyuubey would be as likely to catch as Oriko.

Well, if she could have been bullshiting us. Maybe she saw that as the path that left more openings for us to show mercy and let her go.

If she wasn't bullshitting, and she was seeing something, she might not quite remember anymore.

"Not as far as I saw," Oriko says, shaking her head. Homura stiffens, muscle jumping along her jaw. "But the memories of the vision have... slipped, with the loss of my powers."

But it's something to ask at some point, I guess.
 
Isn't "Remind her that she's stronger than she looks" kind of our general catch-all thing no matter who we're talking to?

You're overthinking this.

Sabrina simply isn't someone who can go through with plans to execute people, and she was never NOT going to cooperate once cornered with the Kiriwitch threat. It's in both their natures.
 
Small notices on reread:
ou can't help the little snicker at the way Sayaka jumps at the motion.
Grief utility fog subtly being utility fog. Localized omnisicence, fuck yeah.
"I see," Oriko says finally. She probably does, too.
*suspicion*

Especially with the specific not about her having lost her power just two sentences later.
:D

See! Totally appropriate to introduce them as the Kures.
 
I'm pretty sure we dismissed the Fog and haven't set it back up again.

We probably should.

We must have sensed her jump the normal way.
I though we just pushed it down to undetectable-but-still-usable levels, but I'm not sure. And this would be exactly the situation in which we'd want it set back up, maybe even push it to combat levels as we get closer to Asunaro. @Firnagzen?
 
You know, I was being serious when I suggested "Zweiter Teil" as a team name, but now that I think about it, it would be just like Mitakihara Middle School to assign a difficult piece of Weimar Classicism as first-year reading material.

"Faust part 2? Yeah, Sabrina, we all read that last year. In the original German. I got a B for my essay exploring the parallels between the alchemical pursuit of gold creation and modern fiat currency!" Sayaka related with some (admittedly well-deserved) pride. "Wait, why are you bringing Goethe into this anyway?"

This is what happens when a bored and excessively precocious potential wishes for an interesting school curriculum. Given the demographics of magical girls, I'd suspect that schools are just perpetual tug-of-wars between countless conflicting wishes, and the cliques require non-euclidian mathematics to properly explain.

I'm sorry, but no. Oriko's precognition doesn't work like that. If she was looking at a future in which she and Sabrina met again after her death, she wouldn't mistake that for "we meet again because you didn't actually kill me".

On top of that, she said "we'll meet again" before we even came up with the threat to Witchout Kirika. Before we came up with that, Homura was going to shoot their gems herself, and if we hadn't come up with that threat, we'd have been forced to go along with it.

On top of that, when we brought her back into the timestop to present the Witchout threat, she explicitly said that this wasn't the "meeting again" she had foreseen.
