Puella Magica Somniabunt Sanguinis [PMMM/Bloodborne]

Reader mode
[X] Go to her. If possible, eat the Grief from her gem to give her more time. Use that time to try and convince her not to go through with this, and be as supportive as possible.

If I understand correctly, this girl could become the first witch we might encounter. As much as I enjoy the thought of Ruby's reaction, we should try to limit the number of girls who Witch as much as possible.

Remember everyone, it is in the nature of great ones to be sympathetic.

So, just be our regular selves.

Uh..... looks at other Great Ones' 'help'

Maybe we should try helping before 'HALPING!' I don't think typical Great One sympathy is the right choice here, if.... Yharnam as a whole.... is any indication...

Barebones initial vote, some pleading, not sure if we should go for a witchbomb straight away or just try to impress upon her that there is danger and then get to that part later.

Yeah that's...probably a better idea than my vote

She was witchbombed by Kyubey (she asked it what happens when her gem fills up after getting her magical girl 101). That is sort of the reason that her resulting grief-spiral took her here.
 
On second thought, I'm going back

So if I'm reading this right, she tried to kill herself, failed to die when killed, and then asked the right question. Is that about the shape of it?

I'm kind of curious, what happens to her if we eat her soul? Do we digest it for power? Does it get stuck in our Dream? Does it just kind of sit there?

Other way around. She got given her answer from the bunnycat, started grief-spiraling, then 'rationally' decided that death was better than becoming a Witch, a la Mami. Unfortunately for her, she didn't know about the lich thing, so her plan was somewhat undermined by her not being able to die from bloodloss.

This seems like the most reasonable option. You don't talk someone out of suicide by being peppy, and traditional Great One help isn't exactly the most...reliable.

However...

[X] If you fail here she will become an enemy. If you are unable to help her, or if she insists on death, devour her before things get nasty.

I dunno, I actually kinda want to stick with this vote. We have no way of knowing her actual circumstances in-character so until she explains that this was a suicide attempt to us we can't exactly offer revenge or anything.

I mean I suppose I could add a clause for if/when she explains the situation to us, but that feel s sorta like cheating?

Can I get a weigh in on cheating or not @Origami Clock
 
Actually, I'm a bit confused and concerned about whatever it was at the school that rattled us so badly

Anyone have any idea what that was

I'm assuming we have access to the telepathy thing, but if we don't no big.

I don't think going grief siphon directly is a good idea. We've gotten some warnings against it. It should be a last of last resorts, considering Ruby would probably take very, very poorly to accidentally killing this girl.

Also, there is no reason for Ruby to not have her own Grief Seed. She eats the stuff and does sometime need a snack while maintaining all those clones, so there's no reason to try a risky surgery when there's a bandaid right here.

I'm not certain we have Grief Seeds of our own

Each time we've used one, it's been Homura handing us one, and we haven't gone Witch-hunting yet
 
I thought the only warnings against direct siphon were that it wasn't terribly efficient and that it could influence our thoughts temporarily in large amounts.

I mostly thought it was a warning against 'don't try to eat a witch' or something.

That said, that's a much more complete plan, I'm just not sure we have any grief seeds on us, so...

Yeah, but we've been here for over a week at least now, Homura is certain to have spares by now, and Ruby will only ever need one. There's no reason for Ruby not to have one, especially when she's expected to be alone.

Still, @Origami Clock?

I remember this bit:

  • Grief seeds help. They make you remember what human emotions feel like. (Yes, you can become a grief vampire, but it certainly won't be an easy mode.)

And I'm pretty sure there's another bit about it but I can't find it.

Basically, we can siphon directly from a soul gem, but it's not gonna be easy and we may screw up at first. Now is not really the time to make that gamble, not when the GM is rolling dice.

Yes, yes, we're all very worried about Gertrud. Personally, I'm more interested in this.

So there are two magical girls at school already. Obviously, the golden one is Mami, she looks nice and normal. The other one though... As far as I know, Kirika Kure is the only other canon Magical Girl at that school, but she isn't really associated with the color blue. Mostly black and gold/orange/whatever her eye and soul gem color actually is. The wild burning could fit her insane love for Oriko but that's a stretch. So we have an unknown, powerful Magical Girl within spitting distance of our girls. This is cause for concern.

This feels properly panicked.

Good job on flushing things out a bit Hymn. You seem to have a knack for that.
