[ ] Advise Hitomi to cherish Madoka as a special friend
-[ ] Absolve the future of responsibility, though
-[ ] Blame the future in an abstract way
-[ ] Dissuade her with details about the future
-[ ] Tell Hitomi of Nanami's affections
Ill advised. Not our place.

[ ] Advise Hitomi to wait for a less dramatic time in life
Actually a worthwhile advice, but perhaps precisely because this is such a dramatic (and trying) time, such thing became all the more important?

[ ] Advise Hitomi to simply tell Madoka her feelings
Hmm....
[ ] Advise Hitomi to attempt something romantic
What's the difference with the preceeding options?



I considering this one, but then I wonder. I just said, it is not our place to tell her to hold back or giving up. It is our place then to encourage her to do this.

[ ] Refrain from providing any advice
NG. We were asked. We need to at least provide some.

[ ] Warn Homura about Hitomi's affections for Madoka
[ ] Warn Hitomi about Homura's affections for Madoka
Uff, so beatiful of field of thorns to walk into. Hmm mmm, well then, if, IF, we are providing advice to effect of encouraging her, then we should do these. It is only fair

[ ] Help Hitomi compete with Homura for Madoka
-[ ] Involve some of the others
Haahh, Hitomi's both ancestor and sister. Family first I would say often. But I'm wary of potentially sidelining Homura this way.

This garden of lilies, it is full of thorns.

[ ] Send Hitomi a copy of Kyouko's book
.... yes? No, make that definitely YES. With deletion of the author's name. For the lulz potential.
[ ] Send Hitomi a copy of the on-board encyclopedia's movie clip for the Zero-Gravity Tea Ceremony[/QUOTE]
Huh, what's the need? .... eh, why not. No harm done.


[x] Do not advise her to tell or not tell her feelings.
- [x] asked to best of your ability of her questions. But if she want to, pull reference, if need be, on how you shold approach the issue, and dealing with potential rejection
-- [x] not much data on 21st century Japan unfortunately, to tell the prospect of such relationship. Offer to help looking over the current net for contemporary reference. "But yes, at least based on the future it could work'
--- [x] " do I end up marrying someone else in the future?" Yes, I am not sure it wise to tell you who. Your -this you- your choice is your own.
[x] Help her examine the issue, is telling her love, and pursuing it, is something she want to do, with all the cost and risk attached, but also offer support.
[x] Send Hitomi a copy of Kyouko's book
Well, if she want to woo a girl, better steal from the master. It works against the master herself, so it's solid advice!
[X] Warn Hitomi that there are other people with affection for Madoka


People in this thread advises for being open with your feelings. To go with clear communication. Personally, I actually agree with such approach. Better the truth no matter how it hurts, IMHO. But I'm wary of pushing other people to walk that way. Thus this vote. Rather than pushing her toward one path or another, just advise her how to go which path, what to expect in each, and offer support from behind wherever she walked.

As for that last one ... I'm not sure if we should tell her that is Homura or not. Whom loving whom is normally confidential thing, no? And Homura's issue is ... to call it complicated is understatement. But if we seriously going for this then maybe we do not tell the name .... or maybe not, Hitomi's perceptive enough to find out on his own soon or later. Then maybe we should talk with Homura too ... BUT that should be its own love talk, not an afterthought.
[x] DO NOT tell Homura anything yet BUT TAKE NOTE that we may want to have love talk with Homura as well sometimes later (for that matter, most of the Gang of Nice can use love talk probably)


Garden of lilies,
fair yet so full of thorns.
What red is that hue?
 
you could launch your career as a pop duo with Ryouko and mutilate them on stage together it's just a pity the blood doesn't really flow that well or the two of you could start the concert wearing white and the e̙̭f͕̙̩̬̜̰f̜̬̜ͅe̬c̰̙̳̲t̻̦͍̳as you went would be s̱̦̗̗̭͚̱̝͚̰͕͎̗̠̝̟u̯̠̪̲̳͇͚̟̯̞̞̼͚͖̙̠b͈̟͍̺̤͉̖͎͙̝l̯̦̼̮̮̞̥͙͎̫̻͚͉ͅi̳͕̖̮͓̜̮͎m̗̥̮͉ḙ̰̫̭̟
Though it is a small thing, I am ever so slightly saddened that the pop duo plan has fallen by the wayside.
It did sort of fall through, though something I realized --
THAT MANIPULATIVE LYING RAT BASTARD, declares Machina. SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE, BOIL HIM IN SQUID ICHOR, AND GRIND HIS BONES TO MAKE BREAD.
Machina might want in!


... Inb4 Madoka makes a wish to turn the world into an Idol anime?

what would we name the group
Anyone knowledgeable about this genre?

Ah, it seems we failed to consider a Hibiki Euphonium crossover
 
I see we're up to 88.

What's the difference with the preceeding options?
Just telling her feelings is the simple option, being romantic involves an explicit attempt to sweep the pink girl off her feet?

For the lulz potential.
Well, if nothing else, the book can serve as a test of her resolve.

Regarding the pop duo act:
Machina might want in!
Vocaloids? How forward-looking.

Anyone knowledgeable about this genre?

-[x] briefly talk about how future relationships seem to peter out after too long, and that one true love.... just doesn't seem like it. But appreciating love where it's found is still worth doing.

[x] DON'T Send Hitomi a copy of Kyouko's book

EVEN MORE CHNAGES!

Hitomi needs a balanced set of reading materials for getting her relationship going, therefore we shouldn't JUST send Kyouko's book, that is more for the fun times anyway.

[X] Send Hitomi relevent relationship advice books
[X] Send Hitomi a copy of Kyouko's book

Rest of vote:
[X] Tell Hitomi not worry about what happened in our future: we've already knocked that timeline off the rails. She can choose her own destiny.
[X] Advise Hitomi to simply tell Madoka her feelings
[X] Advise everyone else to be open with their feelings towards people
[X] Send Hitomi a copy of the on-board encyclopedia's movie clip for the Zero-Gravity Tea Ceremony
[X] Work out a feasible reason we would have a hand injury now.
 
Whoa, that gave me goosebumps. We should maybe do that scan of ourselves after all. The emotional subprocesses are being pretty intense, or the emotion stabilizer processes are snoozing haha.

[X] Run self-diagnostics. Panic slightly when everything turns up green T_T


[X] PlanckConstant

I strongly agree getting into relationship advice/gossiping is not our priority, seems not too helpful and increases our identity crisis (we're helping people get things we can't get ourselves). Giving general good advice should be enough.

[X] Get in touch with Machina, discuss identity crisis / Governance blunder. Share the "2%" news, engage in cathartic rants as needed.

Probably not that apropos this update but I think we should keep in touch with Machina more. She is "One of us" and could help give us a credible other perspective. Also, she must be lonely haha, stuck with a Mami that is unfriendly at best (though that's not much different from her disregard of Machina in the future, pre soul reveal).

[X] Ask Ryouko to have a private conversation later. You two have a choice to make.

We should talk to Ryouko, explain our issues and decide what to do. We can decide to seperate from Ryouko, to return to living mostly for Ryouko, to find a middle ground or maybe some other stuff I haven't thought about.

But we need to make a decision, and stick to it. Acting with determination is the best protection against grief.

Normally sure.
But we might be still lacking some critical information to fix or make better everything.

As well as us loosing joker card, get out of prison thanks to irrational behaviour.
You have nearly finished the tea when the incubator returns, whining about your irrational behavior earlier. You can't see him any more, though, not even partly like you could before. It has to have been something about potential being influenced by your proximity to Ryouko, but, it's all gone now anyway.
Voidspirit, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? We attached the tracker when her genome was engineered.
Ain't that some human made plot made centred on Ryouko?

It has no relation to this joke. No shady work from Incubators of this timeline? o_O
Whom loving whom is normally confidential thing, no?
Group of schoolgirls... rumours and gossips as past time... romance as favoured genre and who is dating who as favoured topic....

What do you mean by "is normally confidential thing"?

Well. If we're intending to make decisions about this, we should think about some things we've successfully avoided worrying about so far. Like... how's this all going to work out when you get to the future?

The whole human body thing, for starters. Would it be better if it came back, or if it didn't?
How about the whole dating-Kyouko thing? How would that work out?
Oh, and another one just for fun: you don't suppose anyone is going to want to come back with you guys, do you?

But we might be still lacking some critical information to fix or make better everything.
Well, of course you are. There's the whole ####### ##### plot (for which I've been sneaking in foreshadowing for quite a while now) but which won't properly happen until Ryouko ##### ######## ### ######. But I'm quite confident that we'll get to it. I have contingency plans if you're too slow about it!

The metacommentary about the lack of comment being the comment is the comment.

This would definitely be a comforting thought, if you think that it is true.

Don't you mean get into prison? It's a QB wish, after all.

Whoa, that gave me goosebumps.
:D

Is this also a resolution we should apply to ourselves?

Seems wise. In The Different Story five Medukas in one city lead to magic starvation, and we already have... Five. I suppose grief cubes might mitigate that, but still. We already kinda have too many magical girls, and even making neutral/lean positive personal wishes is not a good call to long term survival.

I'd like it very much if no one makes any more wishes unless people (who are plot relevant/that we want alive) are getting killed. Nanami did this right, and she's still freaking out about her wish ruining everything, and she may not be wrong.

Well, we don't even know if we can get back to the future, so I think it's a bit too early to worry about that.


We are currently in a much higher danger than we would be back in the tts timeline (as shown by the number of major characters who already die, even though they've been resurrected), pretty much every problem that we would leave for a hypothetical "returning to our own time" future we could solve at our leisure.

Be serious for moment.
Anime Homura would be in greater problems if Incubators operated across multiple timelines instead of Kyubey being confused how she got magic and knowledge.
Don't you mean get into prison? It's a QB wish, after all.
I like TTS as system was made which is not grimdark world of girls organizing selves into old style witch covens, torturing worthless young recruits into despair to get seed for cleansing own gems.

Making Kyubey into enemy instead of attempting to convince him to switch on wraith system is not helping us.

In character, Clarisse might think that, but out of character, I hope you realize that there's no hope of convincing him. The entire plot of Rebellion happened because the Incubators wanted the higher yields of the witch system so much that they were willing to try capturing a goddess to make it happen.

You prefer Oriko organizing the coven and torturing young girls in an attempt to steal their powers?
... I mean, I prefer it too, but even the future TTS world has got some pretty dark parts to it, and, to the extent we're even in TTS world, we're in the coven-y part of the timeline.

This is a reasonable perspective!

I think Tomoyo is dead


Tomoyo should be fine? ... Papa should be fine too?

Something that did not know of hunger where it is from, but is now consumed by it.
too many invisible connections from trying to get graphviz to do pretty layouts without lines crossing everyone's face


no seriously though I'm all done with graphviz for the moment, I just don't want to upstage PlanckConstant who was working on a more finely crafted version.

ALSO, IT'S CALLED A DAY JOB :)

We don't have access to overblown wish, some special knowledge and/or cooperation of Incubators to avoid some kind of bad future.

With witch system, instead of wraith, gem cleansing is more limited service. So creation of larger teams is more impractical, also lets not forget practice of familiar farming which requires "some" selfishness as peoples would die.

If not eventually having "witch covens" other idea is some groups taking over some crime riddled city, and export seeds as there is way too many peoples no one would care about to farm familiar.

Unification of MG is much harder, if not impossible, unlike TTS and it's MSY. Don't have much hope in long term.
But then, am likely too interested in something way too far in long term, years away, if not further with changes in timeline.

Girls will still die no matter what we do, and we don't have any wish now so
Medium term objectives:
-get all the cubes
-try to stop Oriko from doing something too horrible
-spread the wraiths in such a way that kyubey can't stop it, this is probably the only way to keep the megukas from die young
-don't die
-don't go witch
-make sure to instruct your muggle friends to start preparing humanity for the squid war, even if we die
