Maybe she's got some actual gloves lying around? A light coat to cover the fake arm?

I wouldn't advise it, grief constructs have shown themselves to be rather corrosive.
What Torgamous said.
Also, I'm thinking it's not just the missing arm. Maybe she's also voluntarily keeping her house arrest intact? Good prisoner behavior and all. Less for SAbrina, and more for Homura and Mami's eyes.
Solid grief? Nope.
We're still wearing the bloody ring.

No they haven't. We're still wearing that ring.
Grief gas is corrosive.

Disproven. The gas form is corrosive but solids have been shown to be harmless.

If you want to make non-functional one, no reason to use grief. Just chisel/compress dirt or wood or carbon or paper or whatever you want.
The problem here, the known danger is not the clear seeds but the normal grief seeds which carry the risk of hatching into witches. People are already playing fast and loose with nuclear waste. We're just attempting to lessen that risk. Obviously we need to include a strong warning when we pass out any clear seeds, but it should be relatively safe because most people are not idiots. And we can make it even safer by telling people to contact us immediately if they see a problem (which would allow us to timestop to their location immediately to do damage control). There is a danger, but that danger is more than offset by safety that clear seeds can provide.
Solids are harmless to us, and the Grief Flying Carpet and Mobile Grief Fortress didn't appear to harm the meguca who were riding them. But we haven't yet done a long term test of the effects of solid grief on normal materials or people.
[x] "Would you mind if I asked why you don't want to go?"
-[x] We can probably disguise the arm if that's what Oriko is worried about.
-[x] Grief prosthetic? Disguise it in a glove or a sling?
[x] Ask if there's anything in particular that Oriko wants from the store (if she's not coming).
[x] Ask for money if we don't have enough from earlier.
[x] Take Kirika shopping
-[x] Ask how the healing is coming along, can she see improvement in Oriko's condition? Is Kirika's proficiency with healing improving?
-[x] Hey Kirika, my Oujo is sad ): she keeps thinking I'm going to leave her when I'm not. How do I make her happy again?
-[x] Ask how Kirika liked flying and if she wants to go flying again sometime.
-[x] Ask Kirika to tell you the bad jokes she came up with. All of them.
-[x] Bad jokes that we come up with:
--[x] "How does a precog say goodbye? See you later."
--[x] "How does an amnesiac say goodbye? I forget."
--[x] "What did the precog say to the meme? I saw what you were going to do there."
--[x] "How do you fool a precog? By making her wear motley and a hat with bells on it."
-[x] Buy groceries
-[x] Buy tea (Gyokuro, Matcha, and Ceylon Black)
-[x] Buy ingredients for Oriko to make sponge cake
[x] Return to Oriko's
The following probably wouldn't be in this update (but I leave them here for reference):
[] Ask Oriko if Akiko is likely to recover ever without intervention.
[] "Does Kazusa become a witch any time in the next two weeks?"
-[] If negative: "Are the Saints capturing magical girls or soul gems?"
[] Tell Oriko about our long term plans to use clear seeds to cleanse all meguca and hopefully to reverse witching. Ask for her help with these plans.
-[] Tell Oriko that we're planning on leaving Aurora with her and taking Gwen with us. Does she foresee any problems with this arrangement?
-[] Does Oriko foresee any problems if she left Aurora in direct contact with Kirika's soul gem for a prolonged period (without anyone physically touching it)?
-[] Does Oriko foresee any problems if Kirika was in physical contact with Aurora for a prolonged period?
[] Enlist her and Kirika's help to spot us while we science in an appropriate place. Kirika can antimagic pulse if things go wrong, Oriko can tell us if things are likely to go wrong. Explain each experiment before we do it.
-[] Is it easier to add/remove grief from Hildegard than from Gwen?
-[] Alternate between completely filling Hildegarde and completely emptying it for several cycles. Does anything change with the capacity of the seed or the difficulty of removing grief or with the state of Hildegarde?
-[] Put Hildegarde and Aurora next to each other when they have differing amounts of grief in them. What (if anything) happens?
-[] Empty Hildegarde completely and put it next to Gwen. What (if anything) happens?
-[] Pump healing magic into Hildegarde. Try to focus on healing the presence within, pay very close attention to any small changes to the seed or if anything materializes nearby.
-[] Put two marbles worth of grief in our soul gem and one marble worth of grief in Kirika's and touch them together. What happens? Remove all the grief afterwards.
-[] Create a grief construct designed to scan a mind and project the ideal body for that mind as a 3d hologram.
--[] Use the device on all of the grief seeds and soul gems.
-[] Ask if Oriko and Kirika if they can think of any additional experiments that we should try.

The life of a magical girl is always dangerous. They constantly follow instructions far more complicated than "keep it in a special box away from other grief seeds, or it might explode". It's no more dangerous than carrying a box of ammunition or a grenade. They're meguca, they're not made of glass. The ones who were are predominantly dead.
A clear seed is dangerous, yes, when compared to nothing. It is not dangerous compared to the alternative. Because the alternative is fighting a witch every week. I expect a failure rate of maybe 3/100 clear seeds over a year with proper instructions. Fighting witches probably claims >50/100 in a year.
Kirika doubtless already taught her how to do it. It only took a sentence or two to teach Kirika after all. As I recall we said something like 'use your magic, it should be instinctual' and then she could do it. Oriko was there at the time as well.
Conversation topics:
- Hey Kirika, my Oujo is sad ): she keeps thinking I'm going to leave her when I'm not. How do I make her happy again? (she'll probably suggest something hilarious)
....? Dunno apart from that.

Just some ideas:
[] Talk with Kirika about ojous and love
[] Ask Kirika if she would like to go flying someday
[] Tell them that you have no money, so they have to pay for the groceries
[] Ask if you can bring Mami over sometime for reconciliation
[] Ask them if they would be willing to assist you with experiments

The canvas bag composed of normal materials that we've been storing our solid grief in?
If anyone asks about the ring, I propose we call it our Grief Lantern ring.

...ah, my mistake.

...Yes we have. We've be wearing that ring for awhile now.
...Mami is at school and lunch just ended. Somehow I doubt we'll be shopping for 2-3 hours. Especially since Sabrina has to meet Mami at school end due to Mami!Limpetting.

The theory seems to be that the grief isn't corrosive to us but would be to other people.
Which still doesn't explain the continued existence of the bag that we've been keeping our grief in for over a week.

Really? our powers may be bullshit, but that doesn't mean our body is going to react differently. It's shadowrunning at this point. Solid grief is entirely safe for commercial use on anyone.
Though next science session we should do more with clear seeds to see if anything other than an overload in the presence of other seeds could happen. I'd like to be able to distribute those.

Fair enough, but assuming the precog's staying home out of embarrassment may be jumping to conclusions.

...Could we ask Oriko to go? She hasn't gone outside in five days. That's not good.
Kind of late. We've called it 'an experiment'.If anyone asks about the ring, I propose we call it our Grief Lantern ring.

The ring is probably a Chekhov's Gun at this point.
Feathers: Muhahaha, I have gotten rid of all grief within 100 meters and all soulgems are completely clean. Your powerless to defeat me and doomed!
Sabrina: It seems you have covered all bases, except you forgot about the grief ring!
Feathers: No! How could I have forgotten, I am infallible! *dies*

The bag is good evidence that solid grief is not corrosive (we probably would have noticed by now if it had been damaging the bag). I hadn't thought of that earlier. The stuff is made of grief, and it did have a history of corroding things when in gaseous form, so I just wanted to be extra careful with it. But the bag is strong evidence that it should be fine to give grief constructs to other people as long as we can guarantee that they will stay within range. A sling and prosthetic arm for Oriko should be doable.
We're not assuming, we're asking. If it turns out that she just doesn't feel like going to the store (or if she wants Kirika to make a friend independent of her presence or whatever), then that's fine. But if Oriko's is worried about her arm then a grief constructed prosthetic could solve the issue; and it shouldn't hurt to ask.

Which is why the first line of my suggestion asks why she doesn't want to go.
