-[X] Ask around among your kids

It just feels kinda weird to take her with us and Mami when Mami already is a minor living alone (okay, now we're there too but we're... us...) Seems better to ask the others what to do. Gives Madoka something to do to help that should be safe as well.
ok yeah I like that, changing my vote.
 
Disagree. That's taking X's self imposed responsibility and putting on a bunch of kids. Kids I must note, that are under X's authority as their senior and freaky unintentional lightish mind control.
 
I see it less as putting the responsibility on them and more, "I don't know a lot about how this world works. What should we be doing here?" Like yeah, that still shouldn't be something put on them but they're literally the only people X knows outside of Kyubey so...

Because as far as I know, X still doesn't have a great grasp on how PMMM Earth works and still works from using the City as the starting reference point and that's just not helpful. In the City taking Yuma back with her to Mami's apartment really would make sense given the hellscape that is the City. In Mitakihara? Not so much. I mean, maybe it's decided that's actually the best option available but I feel like we should figure out what options we have first.

In which case, asking them is a decidedly poor choice. X knows both what a foster system is and that this world isn't the same as the City. X has also demonstrated good information gathering skill and how to use Google. If she wants to know what her options are, she should start there, not a bunch of middle schoolers that moonlight as monster hunters.
 
I think Yuma will most likely end up with X and Mami even if we ask the others. Madoka and Sayaka live with their parents, and Homura is happy to let Mami take care of Yuma - someone who has both the desire and the ability to do so. The only other option we might be offered would be to go to the police, and I don't think that's a good option given the circumstances. And we need to warn Yuma about the Magical Girl System anyway so she won't be tricked by the Incubators.

Here's the thing. Sayaka and Madoka have school (Plus they have parents too so that's another can of worms). Homura is currently busy raiding the JSDF and the Yakuza (We are only like 4-5 days into the 1-month journey of Walpurgis). Kyoko is busy with the incursion of MGs because she's not getting help from any of our abnormalities.

The only remaining choice person who has the necessary free time is Mami (What is her job? Or does QB just give her allowances?). And here's the most important part. Mami and Yuma's traumas can bounce off each other better. Plus the whole personality compatibility and the witch bomb ordeal.

Also another upside, X will be with them so this is the safest option. Mami is also one of the few girls who are dependable (If somewhat naive) and have the ability to guide others (X knows this). Homura is still standoffish, Madoka and Sayaka are big no, Kyoko...well X and Kyoko are acting like mother and daughter so that's a no too.

This is a no-brainer for me.

-[X] With you and Mami

I must concur, I'll even make my reaction in multiple ways to get this across
What! Wat! Nani! When did this happen!?

Admittedly might not be Big Bird or Judgement Bird, could be One Sin or some other Abno. I don't know them all very well. But this definitely ain't the usual Kyoko.
Or, more specifically, one Magical Girl steps out in six different places. It's a red-haired kid, a little younger than Mami, wearing a vaguely religious-looking uniform. Jewelry adorns every bit of her body, from earrings to hairpins to bracelets, with a single more prominent cross-shaped necklace. She wears the same predatory smile you've seen before in Homura's memories. At the side of each copy is an oversized spear, all pointed towards you.

…Yeah, you're absolutely right.



It's a huge deviation Kyoko's usual outfit. The jewelry makes me lean towards the King of Greed and the cross of One Sin. But she's almost certainly had an exposure to Abnormalities.

I can't believe I missed that detail.
 
Not any abno from lobotomy corp era though as stated could be a meguca mutated one sin and king greed fish(doubtful admittedly since kings ego has no jewelry stuff and if so it was unnoticed by me)
If it is one it's something we never encountered, any of you know of any scrapped abnomality or ones involved with jewels
There's another possibility, any of you familiar with magia record, might be dealing with a rumor or something else
Any clue if distortions got yanked here? Basically human origin abnos, all you need do to bring them back is yank them out of the well as far as I can consider

By the way good job for noticing
Only thing I can say is no ego item aside the cross is from any abno X or angela have crossed paths with
Ps yes I did a dive of the EGO list for lobcorp
Edit possible candidates for bejeweled ego: Nosferatu, The adult who lies, and though unlikely Whitenight
Let's hope it ain't that last one but these are all possible candidates I found in ruina era

Wait, wouldn't X recognize an Ego gift, as she had with Yuma? or was that a more recent ability brought out by self-revelation?
 
Probably not
And admittedly it would make sense that an unknown ego would go unrecognized not to mention obfuscated by the pseudo egos of a puella
I just wished we realized this situation sooner
Alright
If its nosferatu we may have problems, that guy is smooth and suave until he gets hungry and vampires do have illusion abilities
The adult who lies is a con artist and manipulator, which could fit for kyokos access to illusions once more and the crystals
Though unlikely........ yeah I really don't want to contemplate apostle kyoko
Admittedly the most likely candidate is the Adult
Anyone got any other ideas for our mysterious abnormality, distortion, or rumor?

So meme
do you think it could be the Adult who lies?
we have no documented form of what a diluted ego from it would look like and it is possible to dilute egos as the many forms of mimicry stand out, so could kyoko own nature combined with the adult who lies result in a jewelry suit ego? it is arguable they could synchronize well like jester and roland
admittedly this could be magia record nonsense rearing its head but I don't know
what's your opinion?

Absolutely not. The adult who tells Lies is not someone who just appears normally and stealthily, her influence would be rather noticeable.
Second, her gift wouldn't be jewelry. Sure it will be related to emerald, a gemstone, but if her gift would decorate your entire body in gemstones, it would be extremely obvious to X and there would've been a comment about how green Kyoko looks.
 
That is thing though
It LIES
Much like plague doctor was really whitenight I have no doubt liar could potentially do similar
And tell me considering the fact that they are a Schemer not a juggernaut, do you really think them stupid enough to blatantly advertise themselves?
They already suffered a death at tin cans hand, a second via cheseds through roland, really think it would want to try 3rd times the charm?
It is an abno but make no mistake that all pf them are immediately blatant, Army in pinks down side didn't manifest till later on, whitenight disguised itself as the plague doctor, nothing there took shells, Don't touch me disguised itself as other abnormalities to trick you, pinochio lies, list goes on
And unlike the others it is neither childish, naive, crazy nor animalistic
It's clever, It can think, It embodies Liars, Deceptions, and many things
A leopard can not change his spots but a clever one knows to hide and ambush not just strut and roar
We can't afford to simply think an abnormality is obvious, need I remind everyone about the memetic effect of our ego gift? Now tell me, if an ego can meddle with minds to that extant, Is it a surprise if the liar doesn't know how to purposefully do so? Think Worm Master Stranger protocols
Who can be influenced by it and how can it slip through the cracks
Who can it syncronize with to a good extant to hide, there is one person whose personality is the closest to itself
Kyoko sakura, a pragmatic girl, victim of a deception, uncaring of others, illusion powers
Victims can easily become the next perpetrators if left to fester
And I said that the adult is the likliests suspect, the only others I can think of are Nosferatu and Whitenight both are bad news, all of them are, some more than others
Adult is the only one with crystals that we know of
It could be witch we know nothing about
Could be a rumour created by the magius
Could be a completely unique abnormality we've never encountered
Could be a distortion, the gery first to form in this world
Alot of possibilities but for now I've focused on what I know to at least hope it isn't a thing from left field come to bite our behind when we exoected something else with other things on our plate
It would also be perfectly in character for it to taunt us with something we want or connected to and lie about it, in short disguise as or employ and empower someone we care about, especially to later twist the dagger in such as say Screw with Kyoko to Screw with Mami by proxy and us by that
It's a Schemer, nosferatu would be clever but I don't think the religious stuff would be his cup of tea, and whitenight...... is whitenight, setting up the stage for his spiritual revival
Adults the guy smart enough to try flying under the radar in order to get in close..... and hit us where it truly hurts
I could he very wrong and catastrophizing like yesod

I assumed that the change in Kyoko's outfit was more related to the fact that she got her Wish Magic back. Which in itself is very strange. I'm pretty sure it was Abnormalia, but it's hard to say which one. Personally, I suspect One Sin, but we must investigate.

We should definitely try to get teleportation. We can't leave Kyoko alone, but it takes a long time to get to her church and back.

In fact, when we first met, I suspected that she was NT in disguise and that Kyoko herself was dead. Fortunately, from her dialogue, it seems that this is not the case. Also, the NT interlude showed it to be busy

An EGO Gift is not something you can just "disguise", an EGO gift is essentially a piece of the abnormality, not some random rock on the road they give out willy nilly. Even Plague Doctor's EGO gift wasn't faked and indicated an obvious connection to its greater WN self.

As I said before, the Adult who tells lies would be impossible to escape the attention of our X.

We can speculate all day about the likelihood of the adult being the one to give Kyoko the gift but generally speaking, it's more likely that it was the King of Greed or One Sin who gifted Kyoko.

The abnormality has to like you to give you its EGO gift too. And Kyoko is not the type of person to get the Adult's favor.

Generally speaking, it's safer to assume that it is OneBro himself. Given how compatible Kyoko is with OneBro.

In fact, X's sudden dislike of Kyoko could also be attributed to this, given how WN and OneBro don't exactly see eye to eye. Us being a Whitenight aberration would only make us and him antagonistic towards each other or at least very much not on each other's "Top Abnormalities" list.
 
Yeah, though whitenight technically has 2 gifts
His 'blessing' from doc mode, and the wing from his true form
So it isn't odd to assume there are variants my friend
And it hasn't been stated an abnormality can not alter how it's gift manifests
Let's just be careful, could be One sin and admittedly I assumed that was a foregone conclusion that he could be involved, The jewels and crystals are my worries right now If it is an Ego suit of somekind, where did she get it and why
How can be answered later, We can not Assume anything
I could be wrong
I could be right
We could both be right and both abnormalities are with kyoko
We could both be wrong and its something we know nothing about
Only time time will tell, and I genuinely hope I am wrong
But the question remains What caused the changes..... and are they for better or the worst
 
eh, if the battle symbols from LoR Could be considered ego gifts then sure There will be variance of ego gifts.
And on the subject of the gifts from the adult. She only gives gifts when the subject is interesting to her, i think.
And those gift will be very obviously flawed and everyone would notice it.
And her ego gift will be Very high profile With big green emeralds as the main motif.
And she won't really hide from us, being a sadistic bastard that she is, She might already be torturing someone with her magic tricks and toys for the hell of it.
