Still not convincing enough to pile this on top of Abnormalities and the Kyoko confrontation.

We aren't gonna do this on the 6th day of meeting the girls. Let Yuma get to know her sister more. Let Mami have more friend time with the girls. Let Kyoko make up with Mami.

Let's do all of that before dropping the goddamn bomb shell on Mami.

I don't see why we need to do it on the same day when so many other important heavy social interactions are happening at the same time.

Why aren't we more worried about the girls reacting badly to X's true self as an abnormality? That's a way more volatile scenario!

Especially since we are gonna give Madoka the abnormality book.
 
...im getting the feeling that we are slowing reaching the top of first dorp on a roller coaster.
and it ain't gonna slow down til we crash. hard.
 
Imagine it.

A book telling you how some Abnormalities are more dangerous than they look, how they can lie to you and then deliver you "salvation", how dangerous all abnormalities are, and how dangerous an unknown abnormality is.

And it's given to you by an abnormality. Who just so happen to "not know" her own nature and didn't include any counters to "her" in the book.

The same abnormality that has been hanging about with you, and who already had the undying loyalty of the technically strongest member of your group.

And of how your close friend, Homura already opened up and let herself be vulnerable with.

And there's literally a page inside the book of abnormality detailing another abno, "Plague Doctor" who disguises his true monstrous self behind a kind and caring mask.

I am not saying that they would panic. But I am saying that Sayaka will definitely be MEGA suspicious of us.

Gertrude is also protective of her familiars much like X is...... with... the.. agents.........
.... I think we have been nicompoops
We've been so worried that they are actively roaming when they are in the barriers of conceptually resonant witches!!
Think about it, sound of a star was in elsa marias barrier and they have almost the same exact modus operandi
X appeared in the protective and isolated gertrudes barrier
And how much you want to bet that jazz hand witch whose name I can't remember had drug issues are seeked an escape!
Witches are basically artificial abnormalities of a negative polarity, it's the equivalent of a magnets northand south poles connecting!
We don't need to track them down by physical trail for many
We can't rely on kyubey but guess what
Every witch is gathering in town, we don't need to hunt the abnos down
Only the conceptually resonant witches....... wait does that mean
Huh, if we ever encounter a chocolate bunny esque witch named matasaburo
Think we could keep or use her for the light enhanced witch experiment?
She's arguably the most docile witch, possibly has Nobody Is in the barrier if the resonant symbolism theory measures
Also means candeloro may have the old lady for tea if Mami witches on us

She does know her own nature and how to counter herself: She's a mama bear and the best way to not have any problems with her is to be a potential daughteru. :V

Nothing a little Lobotomy can't solve. :V

Seriously, if we wanted too, we could be way worse than we are on this point. But we can actually tell what our *gotcha!* part is: X knows she contained herself because her glory was too much for the world, meaning that what the girls have to look out for are things that weakens our cage, as long as there's no leaks, they're fine. Ignore the technicolor hairs.

Ok, hmm, first: Sought, not seeked and and instead of are before it, actually, the entire tense is wrong, it flows better if you use *and was seeking an escape* instead of the monstrosity that happened here. Second, the ambush witch actually contradict the part about resonant theme for the first witch, because it shows that what happens might be closer to: Abno arrives, stays as sapling, a witch find Abno, Abno wakes up and decide to make witch's day worse, Abno probably stay active from now on.

Neatly explains everything, we didn't see Big Bird before because he wasn't activated yet, we have no memories of anything before our own sapling was activated because they are actually gates to somewhere else (told when we examined one), so our sapling activating actually lines up to the moment we found a way to enter the world from the river, we saw it with Porcubus, and all the others abnormalities were simply ones that were activated prior to us finding them, we caught Blue Star when it just woke up and before it began to roam.

Some secrets are secret for a reason, and all that. Just don't expect to hide things forever.

Also, found a new ProjectMoon-related Quest featuring the mod of all time. Go check it out.

It's Turbin' Time (Library of Ruina Modded/Arknights) Crossover

In which a group of 100% mentally stable Fixers is transported to the realm of Magic Rock Cancer. This will surely end well.

I've thought about it for a while, but if Kyoko is actually working with WN, wouldn't saying to be careful about the evil fetus/plague doctor trigger her a little?
Or worse, instead of helping prevent Mami witching out she's like:

X: "So yeah, my current body is just a seal for my true form, form which will generate an XK end of the world scenario"
Mami: "So you have been exposing yourself to dangerous monsters even if knowing your 'seal' could break?"
X: "..."

And genuine question, what could Mami do that X would doesn't have a response to?

Over the short term, it should be easy to intervene, except for the scenario where Mami restrains us and immediately goes on a Big Bird crusade. Granted that's incredibly unlikely, since the cause of that breakdown in canon was the sudden trauma of Sayaka's witch. She is in a much more supportive environment now than when that happened. Even so, I would view having to use lobotomy or restrain Mami as a failure on our part in the handling of the witchbomb.

But the truth would still weigh on her mind over the long term since it tugs on many of her personal issues that stemmed from magical girl life. Her ideal of justice, her wish, her loneliness. I imagine the effects to be loss of focus in combat and being more prone to mental breakdowns if things go south. This is something that X does not have a ready response to, other than being patient and helping her gradually work through these issues. Because lobotomy is so precise, I don't think we can wave it around as an easy cure for this, because the issues are multifaceted, we don't have an exact understanding of Mami's psyche, and partly because it would be a narrative copout.

A storm is coming and she will likely have to deal with this truth soon anyway, so I am in favor of putting it on the table if she takes the abnormality confession and her confrontation with Kyoko well.

"To be fair, it was because I can make my seal stronger by absorbing them. Also, they love me, it's just that some of their ideas for... *helping* can be a little opposite to what I want, just look at Big Bird for a demonstration of what I'm talking about."

Also, for all of those that are worried that we'll get this:

Don't worry, there ARE other possibilities! Like this one:

Eh, that's the Sayaka we're talking about. The moment she decides how to treat you, you have to try to change her mind. Unless the conversation goes really wrong, she'll probably take it pretty lightly. Probably, even if X told her directly not to trust the Abnormalities, she would agree without even noticing that this is somewhat hypocritical.
Although if she knew all this before meeting X, it could be a problem.
 
Can someone explain the existence of the turbulence office to me, first I've heard of it
 
.........
I have no idea how to take that
I truly don't
Only thing I can say is that tf2 characters would fit amongst the cast of crazy that is the city..... even if they'd have to constantly run from arbiters due to the gun laws

Guns aren't illegal, they're just taxed to hell and back. Heavy's gun would probably cost enough to bankrupt a Wing.
 
...
Meaning they'd be on the run for tax Evasion
I now have the image of heavy in al capone costume while running from an arbiter
I don't whether to smile at the thought or wonder if I'm suffering from lack of sleep

Actually, there are also laws about barrel length and other things, so, some guns are actually illegal, in particular, I remember a law that means you can't put anything to muffle the sound of guns past a certain caliber.

And something tells me the Heavy's minigun is absolutely in that category.
 
I still have that image in my head
A curiosity but how do you think X would react to the tf2 characters if they met them
 
He might think soldier and pyro are an abnormality, And see the others as just some Normal fixer that have some quirks.
He might decide to shot a execution bullet at scout tho.
he will respect heavy and demo for choosing what they thought is best for their family.
He will despise medic and spy, One is a maniac, the other is just running away from responsibility.
He will have no strong opinion about engi.
 
I can see that
And there's a reason I said they'd fit right into the cities dynamics
Fortress office I guess?
 
Every time you take Engineer's teleporter, you are forced to play ctf_2fort with a time limit of 10 000 hours, and your memory is wiped afterwards.

Usually this results in passengers losing their sanity and joining a gigantic conga line in the middle of the map from sheer boredom
