Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Hopefully, the Souju won't introduce themselves as we take Mumi around the Zoo. Better yet, we shouldn't let Mumi meet the Souju what with their collection and all. They're just going to pick on Mumi's healing wounds.

Wait, are you saying we should get a woman as a pet? That's a little immoral even for full-on Empress Sabrina. Besides, I don't know the law in Japan too well, but I think slavery is illegal there.

In case you missed half of the joke (I'm sure you understood the cat was intended, but I am not sure you understood why it is not a picture of just a cat), the girl in the picture is Sabrina from the 90s TV show "Sabrina the Teenage Witch".

I did get that, yes. But that reminds me: where are we going to get a talking cat? Time for another trip to Warehouse-kun, I suppose...
 
Right now I'm just imagining 'Warehouse-kun' as something like Grail-kun from Carnival Phantasm. Only instead of knives as the problem-solvers, it suggests SCIENCE! as the path to a solution.

The precog isn't going to say anything unless it's relevant to Mitakihara.

Also, ugh. Firn's already said events in Asunaro aren't going to follow the manga. I think Gadjo already said it. Just because the manga was terrible doesn't mean Firn's Asunaro will be terrible. The reflex aversion by association is... eh.

I'd prefer to treat it just like any other city. Like Sendai and Ishinomaki.

The events of the manga are spectacularly unlikely to be possible within the timeline of this quest. By the beginning of the series, the Saints had converted the basement of a teddy bear museum into a magitech laboratory, designed a subordinate-class incubator, frozen around a dozen MGs, and made (and discarded) twelve clones of Kazumi. Assuming Michiru witched out today, that leaves twenty-six days for all of the above to happen, with a good amount of time to spare for both the events of the manga (which takes place over the course of several days at the very least) and its epilogue.

It's pretty clear they never had a day off.

But seriously, though, the events of Kazumi are kicked off by the following sequence of events: the girl Yuuri Asuka witched out, Michiru saw it happen, and Michiru fell into despair upon realizing she had doomed her friends. That leaves three possibilities: Yuuri did not witch, Michiru is not aware of Yuuri witching, or Michiru somehow took it better than canon. No matter what happens, though, we get a pretty substantial change in what's there, what isn't there, and what we can hope to gain.

Firstly, no barrier. This was always the biggest obstacle. No barrier means we can enter and leave freely - well, we could probably always do that, but now we can do it and bring friends.

Secondly, prior to Michiru's death, the Saints were, by all accounts, a rather amiable bunch. The Saints in canon were severely depleted, often on the verge of witching out, and at-times mutinous. This is probably not the case here, removing one of the major threats of the area.

If Yuuri hasn't witched out, then her "friend" Airi has not made a wish. This will take a major threat off the table, and replace it with a fairly kindly healer-type girl. Don't count on this, though.

Kanna Hijiri, in all her rules-lawyering glory, is probably still around. However, as long as Niko is alive, she probably won't make a move, so she's most likely still sitting in her room going "I AM A SPIDER AND THEY'RE ALL IN MY WEB." This is good, since Hijiri also happens to be one of the few megucas around at this point who could actually give Sabrina a good fight.

So overall, it's much less threatening. However...

With no dead Michiru, the massive wealth of research that the Saints possessed regarding meguca bodies and reverse-witchification probably does not exist. Its primary architects are still alive and could probably be contracted (ha!) out, but it would take time. We would also have to witchbomb them, which would be troublesome.

We would still have to deal with seven somewhat unstable people and a cartoon supervillain, as opposed to seven completely unstable people and three cartoon supervillains.

No Juubey. However, we could make one.

On the other other hand, Michiru is an old friend of the Mumi's. Right now, the Mumi needs more friends and more reminders that she is not terrible.

Personally, I recommend just flying in, grabbing the science one and the leader one, and then flying out. Preferably like a giant bird.

Mami knows Michiru. That's means we could contact them right now :p.

I am not seriously suggesting this.

I just find the notion hilarious. Bucket Hat (not to mention Homumom) would probably face palm hard enough to decapitate herself.

We can play that while we grab them. Create some flying Grief monkeys to complete the image.

Sakura wakes up in bed, screaming. She turns to the TV, which she'd left on as she nodded off, and sees that The Wizard of Oz is playing. "Fuck you, Sabrina," she says under her breath after making sure she didn't wake up Rin.

Despite her dreams, she leaves it on. The narrator can neither confirm nor deny that she envisioned Sabrina's face on the Witch during the melting scene, but they can confirm that the happy ending brought a rare smile to her face . . . and a small, there's-something-in-my-eye-shut-up tear as she quietly said a particular line along with Dorothy: 'There's no place like home.'
 
Also, the recent discussion has given me a perfect wish idea to have Madoka make:

For Pokemon to be real. Aside from the obvious benefits (POKERMAAAAANSSSS), the laws of physics will be so fucked to accomodate that entropy is probably solved even before you factor in the existence of a shitload of cuddly deities.

...This next update will be very amusing for Sabrina's mindset, to say the least.

"You're sent reeling by the storm of mathematics, conjecture, and, for some reason, flying monkeys in your mind. You begin to wonder what the hell is wrong with you. What does half of that stuff have to do with helping your friends? Maybe you need therapy, or some medication, you decide."
