Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

LET THERE BE NO OBSTACLES TO THE PASTA MAKING. (assuming Mami agrees, of course).
 
Not content with skipping school (to do good deeds and help the homeless), now we're stealing wine (for culinary purposes)?
Truly, the worst delinquent.
 
Also, I can think of more pasta sauces that don't have wine than ones that do. If we're going to angst over food, why don't we go for what sort of pasta we're having and how we can possibly obtain proper tomatoes?

...you guys do realize that there is wine just for cooking and you don't need to be of age to buy it...right?

Admittedly, I, at the very least, was not aware of this.
This is rather interesting to hear about, all things considered . . . even if I'm nowadays too old for this information to really matter, though now I begin to wonder if wine made just for cooking is better for cooking than other wine.

It may not be relevant for this particular moment, but what happens when we eat our own soul gem?

Well, that depends on whether or not the Incubators thought ahead and made it so that it couldn't be melted by stomach acid.

Given that our own stomach needs a lining to prevent this, though, I suppose they didn't . . . especially as snakes and sharks aren't typical contractees. (Unless we do it in ring form, I doubt we'd be able to even conceivably fit the thing down our throat.)
 
My main problem with the Muramasa vote is that it postpones the discussion about healing Kyousuke yet again. Breaking the masquerade for Hitomi is good. However, telling Sayaka that we're going to heal Kyousuke (and are making definite plans to do so) should be done right away.

Fixed :p

I don't fancy exposing our Soul Gem to gastric acids nor suffering grief cleansing it while it's inside us.

Well, soul-gem eating did happen in cannon, in the third movie. My question is whether soul-gem eating is an incident which can occur under circumstances non-specific to Homura, since I don't know how the writer of this quest interprets soul-gem eating.

Somehow, I think that eating your soul-gem to obtain omnipotence is something that only works in very specific circumstances. That would be a fairly major bug in the system, otherwise.

Those were pretty bizarre circumstances, considering that Homura had just stolen the power of a goddess. It's not a circumstance we'll be dealing with here.

And I feel the Hitomi issue should be addressed first and it's a good lead in to serious talk on healing Kyousuke. We were shut down hard when we attempted to bull through (doing exactly what you're suggesting we do now) the last time. Mami's exact criticism was that we weren't pacing ourselves. One thing at a time.

"Sure," you say, rising to your feet and letting Mami lead you out of the lounge, just around the corner. There's a few nurses passing by in the corridor, but no one gives the pair of you a second glance.

"Sabrina," Mami begins, giving you a serious look. "I know what you're trying to do, and it's a good thing. But you don't need to fix everything in a day, you know?" She softens the minor rebuke with a smile.

"I..." you temporize.

"And besides..." she says, smile slipping slightly. "I... You just told her about Kyuubey, and..." the blonde chuckles, a forced sound. "I'm still... reeling, a little."

You look down at your feet. "You're right, Mami. I'm sorry I tried to rush thin-"

Mami reaches out, placing her fingers under your chin and gently tipping your head back up to face her. "Don't be," she tells you. "You have a good heart, and you're doing the right thing. You just need to pace yourself."

You smile. "Thanks, Mami."

I don't think eating your soul gem lets you take control of the universe. I was thinking more along the lines of getting better control of our magic and perhaps a greater possibility of not losing our self when using too much magic. And yes, there are probably specific circumstances, and we might get lucky and not have to run into those circumstances, but eating our soul-gem isn't necessarily as grand or difficult as rewriting the universe. My guess is that eating a soul-gem is as difficult to pull off as is maintaining our humanity post-witchout, and we're probably going to avoid either situation as much as possible.

But it's really subject to interpretation.

I'm not suggesting that we heal Kyousuke right away. I'm not even suggesting any definite plans on how to do so. That discussion could be fairly time consuming and we need to get home to fix dinner in an hour or so anyway. So won't be doing it today unless we use timestop (although that is a valid strategy and would keep the doctors from noticing). And maybe letting Hitomi know should happen before we do the actual healing. But the active parties in the discussion about healing are ourselves and Mami and Homura. Sayaka needs to be kept aware so that she doesn't contract and she can also provide advice, but why would bringing Hitomi on board be necessary for the discussion about Kyousuke?

Difficult? No. It would, however, be a terrible idea. Like I said, those are very special circumstances you're referencing: Homura had just ripped a goddess in half, and was in the process of rewriting the universe. Shit got a little weird. And since we won't be letting Momdoka become a goddess because it would make Momura sad, it's not a circumstance we're likely to see. Outside of that specific scene, eating our soul gem just leads to death, emergency surgery, or a few very uncomfortable days on the toilet.

Because both discussions impact Sayaka. There was talk on bringing Hitomi into the fold earlier but was shut down because of Sayaka's reluctance. There's a reason for that procrastination and it ties into both talks. One discussion leads into the other. Kyousuke talk is still in the plans and as you said, that's a lengthy discussion with the healing probably not happening today. So if nothing else we have time. Be patient.

Discussing the idea of letting Hitomi know about the meguca stuff is fine. That should be a quick discussion anyway. But actually letting her know would probably be fairly lengthy and would hold off the discussion about healing Kyousuke, which should at least be started before Sayaka walks in and sees him being all depressed.

Sayaka walking in and seeing him all depressed could make her more agreeable to his healing.

It's almost like the lichbomb talk was completely and utterly pointless. Enough with the shadowruns. I would be immensely disappointed in Sayaka if she willingly sold her soul, on Kyousuke being depressed. Kyousuke talk is happening today. I see no reason why it can't happen today. Again. Be patient.
