So that worked, I guess?
Sayaka called Homura by her name!
It was only her last name, but I'll take what I can get.

Rough plan:
[] Assist Mami with making dinner
[] Ask Madoka and company if they want to stay for dinner.
[] Light conversation. Try to change the topic to something a bit less depressing.
[] A movie, perhaps?

Yeah, Madoka to the rescue.
We've discussed witch outs with Oriko in Kirika's prescence, so yes.

We need to do it at some point just to see how horrible it's supposed to be.

"Okay, it's starting off with anchovy . . . now it's got this heavy cough syrup flavor with a note of corked wine . . . followed by ghost pepper and this strange irony flavor that doesn't seem to be the ice cream-- oh, there's the microwaved tea, kinda obligatory by this point --and that's being soothed by the sensation of tastelessness, followed by the pins-and-needles sensation you get when your arm falls asleep . . . wow, now it tastes like the concept of rolling a natural 1, how'd that happen? Urk. Now it's vomit. Excuse me while I make that literal." Sayaka runs off to the bathroom.
Madoka sighs. "I told her not to try it. I told her." Left unsaid was the question hanging in the air amidst the remainder of the party: 'You expected her to listen?'
Huh. It's almost as if Madoka is concerned that Sabrina doesn't seem to be having emotional trouble.
Seriously. We've got Mami loosing it over the whole "My Soul is a Rock!" thing, Sayaka feeling bad about unpayable debts to her friends and now feeling worse because her issues are so minor in comparison, Homura had her little breakdown while begging Madoka not to contract, and Madoka meanwhile is feeling like a useless coward because she's afraid to contract.
Then we have Sabrina who doesn't seem to have any problems what so ever, doesn't really mind her soul being a rock, doesn't have issues with having no past or family. She is just sitting there trying to make the lives of everyone else better.
So of course Madoka decides there must be some terribly wrong with Sabrina and that she must be hiding her pain deep down so she can be strong for everyone else. It just doesn't make sense, from Madoka's point of view, for Sabrina to just not have any issues with what's happened/been happening to her.

@Baroque
I was more talking about trying to make something that people eat when they are sad out a physical manifestation of sadness. Still pretty funny.
@UberJJK
Oh great. That's gonna be annoying. Can we actually explain that the amnesia and such isn't really bothering us? This is going to be like convincing Koko we aren't trying to take advantage of her, isn't it...

Madoka's there thinking we have some sort of heavy burden (which we are) carrying and we're just putting up a strong front in the midst of all of this mess much like Homura is.
And here's Sabrina thinking of SCIENCE! and Tea and Mumi and Witches and Killing Incubators while working on damage control with everyone's sads.
Viewing this situation from a third party's perspective will be really weird.

Well, it's not really "not bothering us" so much as it is "pushing it away to deal with at a later date." It's not like we are entirely unconcerned about our origins, it's just that we have bigger issues that take up our time at the moment. I personally wouldn't mind Sabrina having a "who am I, exactly?" moment, as long as everyone else agrees with it.

True, but then once we sat down we'd never want to get up. And if Madoka sat in it . . .
Well, we'd probably be responsible for the creation of M.A.D.O.K. (there is fanart of this, I'm not linking it), and Homura would gun us down in this timeline and the next twelve.
It's a thing, but it isn't a thing we have to worry about.
Let me put it this way, if we remain the only one completely composed, Madoka will get progressively more worried, until she does something like 'are you all right, Sabrina'. But I don't think this is a bad thing. I'd rather wait until she asks of her own accord than try to reassure her or give up some meaningless concerns.
I think I might even be ok with sharing to Madoka our worries over some subjects. Mami, dependency, keeping secrets, comes to mind. But it isn't a discussion for the group. Possibly something we could confide in her privately.

Thing is, personally, I'm not worried about our origins. At all. It's not a question that's ever going to cause me trepidation. If it's something to have a moment about, it's going to have to contain emotion driven by thread sentiment, and I can't really see that happening.

Flying grief throne confirmed.
Right. If we're going to truly talk about what bothers us, it would have to be more about the guilt and doubt we have over our actions. That's something we could have a moment about.
Backstory is worrying in that the explanation might bite us.
For Sayaka, either in a while or for later...
a)There's nothing inherently heroic about being a magical girl. If someone seems heroic like Mami, it's because that's the kind of person they are rather than anything to do with being a puella magi.
b)She shouldn't think that her concerns don't matter. What Kyubey did was awful, but that doesn't make her own problems any less important.
c)Hitomi wouldn't want you to feel that way. What she did was good of her, yes, but it was as a friend. She wouldn't want you to feel like you owed her a debt, and definitely not feel guilty about it. Maybe try talking to her about it?

Awww, lookit gais! She's worried about us! *Huggles for Madoka*
But, yeah, while it's funny on this end - it must be setting off all kinds of alarm bells for her at just how well we're taking this especially in light of our near-death experience and everything. I wonder if she'll try to raise her concerns with us/anyone else or just carry on tiptoeing by our 'issues that we're repressing'.
The 'no, I don't really have a problem with it. It's convenient, no danger to me, plus I'm running off different cultural values than you guys.' would get an amusing reaction (but would perhaps be ill advised due to implying that it's not such a big deal from a certain mindset).
Ahh, I've got a feeling that Dresden File's Uriel-quote: "You've got it backwards, Harry. You are a soul, you have a body." is gonna come up at some point.
(Love that quote.)Standing vote from now on that our reflexive response to this question be "I. AM. GROOT!"
Or we all change our avatars to Sabrina's epic face and be all "JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!!??"
But yeah, re: vote - things seem to be at a reasonable stopping point for now - plus it is beginning to get late and the others all have school tomorrow, plus any homework to do and homes to go back to. I think it'd be best to wrap up - get dinner moving, call parents to apologise for lateness and think about how we're getting these girls home (sleepover on Monday evening may not be best idea from parent's perspective?).
P.S. I was gonna mention this earlier, but it slipped my mind.
I'm really morbidly curious as to what the News said about last night's rampage. It happened last night, so the fallout should be on tonight's news, right? I want to know what the damages were and if any civilians were injured that we didn't get to (that might also benefit from a dose of healing before teenage daughters contract for healing)?
May need to think before just switching the news on, just in case there were casualties (might upset Mami) but it could also be a 'case-in-point' to any arguments about how 'Magical Girl does not necessarily = A Hero'.
But yeah, definitely something to check on news/radio/steal a newspaper.
P.P.S may also need to do patrol for witches tonight/tomorrow since it's been a day or two.

[x] Go help Mami with dinner
[x] Ask if the others are staying for dinner
- [x] If they aren't, get Homura to walk them home.
[x] Serve dinner, move on to less depressing topics. Keep things light.
[x] Watch the news. Check up on the aftermath of the Sendai Kerfluffle.

This should be used at some point. Way relevant.Ahh, I've got a feeling that Dresden File's Uriel-quote: "You've got it backwards, Harry. You are a soul, you have a body." is gonna come up at some point.
What, they'd get, like, meta-upset because they were upset over something that isn't a huge deal to us? I really do not understand people, apparently.
