Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Reader mode
[x]Kill it with Mami and Homura. Griefrip it after they hurt it and keep it busy.
-[x]Dissoluzione bianca!
[x]Go home. Talk to Mami.
-[x]We're sorry for scaring her again. We're okay, and we'll be more careful from now on.
-[x]Tell her that there are still some things we need to tell her, and apologize. Some of them aren't ours to tell, and some of them we're not sure how to tell. We don't want to keep things from her.
--[x]Start with the metaknowledge. We knew who she, Homura, Sayaka, and Madoka were from the beginning, the same way we knew about Kyubey and the system. We knew they were all good people.
 
This is a quite straightforward objective but I know someone will somehow post a better vote later on. Abstaining vote for now.
 
I'm sure someone will bring up some big problem with the idea of exposing some of the metaknowledge to her, but I like it.

[X] Ugolino.

Except that she already gave it a name, and the only real reason to use it is to make her happy, so...

I really, really doubt she'd be upset at us using Italian naming,

Oh I'm not saying it would make her upset or such. I'm saying that copying her down to the naming style is a bit far. Remember we do want to de-limpet Mami. So we have to, in my view anyway, walk the fine line between keeping her happy and drawing her even closer to Sabrina.

And "Dissoluzione bianca" is kinda lame. Zerfall Strahl* sounds, to me at least, far cooler!

*I used online dictionaries and google to pick the individual words no idea if this is grammatically correct or if they are even the right words (Disintegration Beam)

Look, we're just using it to make her happy- there's no other reason we'd want to use it. Being close to Mami isn't the issue. Being the only emotional crutch she has is.

And honestly Zerfall Strahl sounds much, much goofier. Stick with the non-lame one and make Mami happy in the process.:p

Using another, worse-sounding name is just going to suggest that we don't think her name's good enough. Not exactly an ego boost.

...was anyone else thinking 'cuccos revenge squad' when all those familiars came rushing in? Mami did blow up a chicken immediately beforehand, after all.
 
Just as FYI: Dissoluzione Bianca has seven syllables. It's not really something that lends itself well to being shouted.

Personally, I have a soft spot for going full Gilgamesh and naming each of our attacks after a mythological weapon, but eh, it's personal preference.

Two breaths. It works just fine given that grief pulling is a OHKO move. And Zerfall Strahl sounds like we're gargling a mouthful of broken glass. :p

Dissoluzione *Start yanking* Bianca *finish yanking*

Unfortunately, I can't think of a mythological weapon that fits well with just telekinetically ripping something to pieces.
 
German is always better then wimpy Italian. I'm not voting Ugo's entire vote because of the Italian.
Eh...
So I guess everyone wants to kill this witch now, no more research? We'll do research another time?
I can agree with that, reluctantly anyway.

EDIT: Changed vote.

Here's a gimmick I just thought of. What if during combat we yell out appropriate movie quotes? "I find your lack of joy disturbing." etc.

Spoken German makes even something like ordering breakfast sound like delivering a death warrant. Italian's smoother, and it's for Mami's sake, anyway. Movie quotes are goofy so...maybe? In moderation? At some point?

The version with the Italian:

[]Kill it with Mami and Homura. Griefrip it after they hurt it and keep it busy.
-[]Dissoluzione bianca!
[]Go home. Talk to Mami.
-[]We're sorry for scaring her again. We're okay, and we'll be more careful from now on.
-[]Tell her that there are still some things we need to tell her, and apologize. Some of them aren't ours to tell, and some of them we're not sure how to tell. We don't want to keep things from her.
--[]Start with the metaknowledge. We knew who she, Homura, Sayaka, and Madoka were from the beginning, the same way we knew about Kyubey and the system. We knew they were all good people.
 
Witches do most of their stuff in German, yeah? :V

e: ...wait, we're the only ones that can read that stuff, aren't we.

...I wonder, could we create a Grief Bolg? Tell a Witch-spear to pierce the Soul Gem/Heart/Witch Core without fail?

Actually...that would be an awesome finisher. Throw spear, autostab core without fail? No tearing needed.
 
Hmm, I don't know if attack names are really our style. Can we crack a bunch of really lame puns first? "Guess this witch wasn't all it was... cracked up to be" "you're all cooped up! Let me help". Then use the attack name.

And I hate the idea of condensing the start of the secrets discussion. Especially just for the sake of starting it. Don't get frustrated at meta-pacing and do things properly. Ugo's vote is ok, I guess, probably can use improvement. But let's not fuck this up by not putting due care.



Machine gun musket ring is both cool and useful, and I'd like to encourage Homura to figure out her magic blast properly too. We should tell Mami that her move was definitely useful against hordes and ask what she thought of it. And then inquire to Homura what she wanted out of her blast, to see if either Mami or us can help.

Now that, we could name Gungnir (Odin's spear).

I don't mind condensing the speech votes: the specific little wording wars are some of the worst ones, and Firn generally gets our intent across pretty well.

:facepalm:

Ugolino. We are talking about an attack that is best described as literally flaying a living being alive!!!

From what we've seen Witches seem to be capable of feeling pain and been griefripped...well...:

Feathers slough off the Witch's wing, collapsing in sprays of ash, and the underlying layers of ash wither away to dust, leaving behind a brachiate webwork of shrivelled veins as you tear away the Grief that gives it animation and form. You instinctively coalesce the Grief into the roiling, curling wings hovering behind you.

The Witch screams, a reverberating and utterly alien ululating noise that slams against the three of you in a hurricane of sound. The shriek warbles louder and louder, conveying despite its alien nature pain beyond comprehension.

You... might have hurt it, you think.

Seems to hurt quite a bit. (added bold for emphasis)

Smoothness is not something we should be associating with an attack like this.

Well Tiro Finale is shooting someone in the face with a cannon...So honestly, it just comes down to "Italian sounds cooler than German". :p

Besides, the Witch screaming'd be harsh enough for the two of us there, wouldn't it?
