Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Reader mode
So, clearly it's now time to use grief power and random metal scraps to create a cartoonishly-large ball and chain and attach it to Hijiri's ankle.

Then we can let her out of the paper prison. Might help her calm down.

...

THEN, we tell her it's OK, it's not her fault that she's a failed experiment, nobody got hurt, and Niko will use her data to make the next one better. Hijiri Kanna #23 will probably be a total success. :V
 
I think we should start with some basic questions after we can her down, or even before.
Namely asking 'if you want to be left alone then why did you fire on us?' We need to know what she thinks the situation is. Someone might of told her bad info to turn her against us.

...Feathers confirmed for Giant Naked Hijiri starting Third Impact.

All according to Oriko's Scenario, of course.

I thought we were the part-eldritch abomination artificial human, created as a result of one person desperately, obsessively trying to save their loved one, and central to a scenario in which the very laws of reality are turned upside-down?
 
For now...

[X] Be empathetic Sabrina.
-[X] Promise Hijiri you won't hurt her. Give her enough time and space to calm down.

[X] Acknowledge everyone's good work. Nod to Sayaka.
-[X] Make sure your group doesn't look threatening.

[X] Offer Grief cleansing all around, including Hijiri.

[X] Introductions.
-[X] Be happy about meeting Hijiri. Hint that you wanted to talk to her, and about your similar origins.

[X] Firmer tone:
-[X] You regret what's happened. Reassure her you can talk things through. It'll be OK.
-[X] Try to get her side of things. She hasn't hurt anybody. Be understanding.
-[X] Explain how her actions hurt Niko.

I'd like to do this, leave contacting the Pleiades to Saki/Mami, and next vote report progress to Niko/Kazumi, and address the theft.
 
... Can we cleanse her?

[Q] Ask Mami for a ribbon handkerchief.
-[Q] Use a Grief hand to grab it and cleanse Hijiri's face. Poor girl.

"Let me," you say, frowning. She's right there, and you can't sense her properly - but you can still fold Grief around Sayaka's paper cocoon.

Since we can't sense her, I guess we can't check her Witch name...
 
I don't follow this quest anymore and neither do i read the thread itself, but can i just pop in and say that this update was damn good? Even I, somebody that's fallen out of date with what's happened so far in PMAS, can appreciate the quality of writing and imagine this scene like it's on the big screen. I was gripped from start to finish and could tell more or less what was going on despite my lack of recognition regarding some characters.

Good job.

Used Onmur's vote as a base. Removed some stuff I wasn't too sure about.

[] Telepathy the group. Suspect captured. It's Hijiri.

[] Be empathetic Sabrina.
-[] Promise Hijiri you won't hurt her. Give her enough time and space to calm down.
[] Acknowledge everyone's good work. Nod to Sayaka.

[] Offer Grief cleansing all around, including Hijiri.
[] Ask Hijiri to turn over the memory device and the clear grief seed (just having her place both on the ground is fine). Ease but do not remove the binds if necessary.
[] Introductions. Assurances. As long as she cooperates she should come out of this just fine.
[] Wait for the others to get here. If Hijiri is cooperating thus far ask Kazumi and the Pleides to go easy on her. Step aside for now and allow the Pleides to take over.

"Please leave me alone! Please-" her eyes shift from Sayaka, to you, to Mami, frightened and desperate. "Please, please- I'll do anything-"

[x] Telepathy the group. Suspect captured. It looks like Hijiri, she's hysterical. You'll try to calm her down.

[X] Be empathetic Sabrina, if confused by her choice of actions.
-[X] Promise Hijiri you won't hurt her. Ask her to drop the memory field so you can discuss this without shouting. Let her calm down.
--[X] Ask her to willingly turn over what she took. Whatever she thinks she needs it for, there's certainly a better solution than theft.

[X] Acknowledge everyone's good work. Nod to Sayaka.
-[X] Offer Grief cleansing all around, including Hijiri. If she hasn't yet dropped the interference field, ask her to so you can help her.

[X] Wait for the others to get here. If Hijiri is cooperating thus far ask Kazumi and the Pleides to go easy on her. Step aside for now and allow the Pleides to take over.

Based on Muramasa's mix of Onmur's original vote, with some more tweaks.

This line in Onmur's vote troubles me. It's poking an issue that caused Hijiri to go crazy over in the canon timeline. I'd rather she talk to Nico face to face rather then us poke a sensitive issue based on unreliable knowledge.

[X] Act professionally and respectfully towards Hijiri
-[X] Calm her. We have no intent to hurt her.
-[X] Check her for clear seeds and remove the memory device and any seeds we find.
[X] If we find the clear seed, regroup with the full team sans Oriko and Kirika, who have leave to wander the commercial district for now - No lighting anything on fire this time, however.
[X] If not, continue search pattern, but us, Mami, Saki, and Sayaka are returning to base to contain Hijiri
-[X] Grab some steel and manufacture some mundane handcuffs.

[X] Sayaka really saved our bacon back there. We're glad we brought her along.

[X] Interrogation techniques
-[X] Be professional, polite, and respectful - but don't be a pushover
-[X] We're going to take that Clear Seed back. If she wanted one, she could've asked for it. She still can, once she convinces us she can be trusted with it.
-[X] We want to know why she robbed Niko, or if she didn't if she knows who did and why she tried to attack us.
-[X] We're angry, but this is her chance to talk her way out of the situation.
 
Commiserating about being artificial humans create by wishes is a thing that should happen, but as near as I remember, only Homura actually knows thst about us, so perhaps after everything settles down and we can take her aside for a bit

Anyway, voting

If Hijiri hadn't fired that shot, with the memory device and antimagic she might never have been found. Did she panic or was it something else?
 
We can't really ask her to drop the field until Niko gets here. I mean, it doesn't matter. If she drops it, we still can't enter its range without danger of her reactivating it and getting us with it.

[X] Stay out of range of the Memory Device, even if deactivated.
[X] Confirm Hijiri's capture. She's scared.

[X] Be empathetic Sabrina.
-[X] Promise Hijiri you won't hurt her. Give her enough time and space to calm down.

[X] Introductions.
-[X] Ask Hijiri to cooperate, and return what she stole; reassure her everything will be fine if she does.
-[X] Use Grief to handle the Device and keep it away from everyone.
-[X] You regret what's happened. You hoped to meet under happier circumstances.

[X] Try to get her side of things. She hasn't hurt anybody. Be understanding; offer help if she cooperates.
[X] Explain how her actions hurt Niko.

Hijiri is being... super fucking weird in this timeline. The best thing I can think of to explain her actions and her powers is that she doesn't want to deal with magic, but then why the fuck did she contract?
