Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Reader mode
To be fair, it's not terribly hard to correctly get out 'so, Homura, Mami, and Sabrina are magical girls. They made a contract with this white rabbit-cat-thingy to do so, and they got a Soul Gem out of it; a wish was involved, but considering the price is a life fighting weird monsters it's not worth it at all if you can avoid it'.

Granted, watch Sayaka stick her foot in her mouth and bring up the lichbomb in that or not tack on that 'if you can avoid it' (poor Mumi), but at the very least if that happens it'll make it a bit more clear why it's not worth it to deal with the little carbuncle.

That said, I've no real preference as to who explains it; Madoka and Sayaka have the benefit of familiarity, while Homura, Mami, and Sabrina have the benefit of experience.

Though, Mumi's points in diplomacy between the three megucas would arguably make her the best of the three to do the talking if it's the megucas that take the lead in explaining.

[X] Now is as good time as any. Lets sit down somewhere?
[X] Telepathy Sayaka, Madoka: How about they start off with telling Hitomi? She is going to trust them more.
[X] Clarify and answer questions as appropriate. Fill in general information about MG life and how your group differes if it is missing. Let Mami and Homura handle ones you don't have lot of experience or knowledge about.
[X] If Hitomi shows doubts, demonstrate some magic by moving grief around.
[X] Regardless, offer to heal her arm while walking to hospital.

Girls can hold hands and walk together.

@Mura, @boone: Yeah, sorry, but at least for me random new friend of a classmate told me about magic while said classmate watched by themselvs I'd take it lot less well, i.e. assume I'm being bullshitted and that the grief marbles for example are just props. The added trust is necessary here.

So... You expect Hitomi to call bullshit while the proof is right in front of her face and while her friends are right there and can tell her it's not.

...

Alright. Good luck with your vote I guess.

Maybe that is the best plan, but it's going to sound really outlandish.

Sabrina: "We want to help Kyousuke, but we don't want him to know that it's us because he might accidentally develop a crush."
Hitomi: "What's wrong with Kyousuke?"
Sabrina: "I'm just not ready for a romantic relationship at this point and one based entirely on one meeting would be rather shaky, so we're going to wear these disguises to prevent that awkwardness from happening to begin with."
Hitomi: "You know, I'm not really seeing where the risk of him falling in love is... Are you worried that your unearthly beauty is dangerous for his merely mortal eyes or something?"
Sabrina: "Well, we are beautiful, but that's not the main thing. No, he'd just be so grateful for being healed that he would fall madly in love."
Hitomi: "With you specifically, or with all three of you?"
Sabrina: "Yes."
Hitomi:"I guess it's possible, but it sounds unlikely. And wouldn't wearing disguises just make you more mysterious and attractive?"
Sabrina: "Maybe. But there's no way that Kyousuke will be able to connect the three mysterious magical beings that healed him to the three perfectly ordinary new friends that you and Sayaka started hanging out with."

This is why I suggested that we be there along with his "mysterious healer". So he can see the "two" of us at the same time. I even suggested making them a magic squirrel to minimise the likelihood of him developing a crush on the "mysterious healer".

We have about a million different ways of manipulating magic and grief to prove their existence. I'm skeptical about magic in real life because I've never seen that kind of proof, but that shouldn't be a problem here. Some of the other things might be hard to prove on the spur of the moment (the danger of witches, soul gems contain a soul, Kyuubey is deceptive, we are trustworthy, etc), but demonstrating the basic existence of magic and our control over it is trivial unless Hitomi is the kind of illogical person who thinks that magic is fake and refuses to accept to accept any evidence to the contrary (but I doubt that's the case).
 
Clearly, we must heal him as Mozart, Chopin, and Bach.

Only his love for classical music will intensify.

Or we could confuse him by going as Michelangelo, Leonardo and Donatello, there to make sure our fellow soul can bless the world with his work.

Can we give him an identity crisis?

With a goal like that, it'd be better if we had Mami as Bob Ross, Homura as Beethoven, and Sabrina as Albert Einstein.

Spread out the directions he could travel, and you will have your renaissance man. :V

The squirrel would be hilarious, but even more outlandish than masks and cloaks. So... three of Kyousuke's friends come and visit him along with three of their other friends that he doesn't know very well. Then a magical squirrel shows up. It doesn't act at all like a real squirrel but it squeaks at him and starts healing his arm. None of the girls seem surprised (or they fake being surprised rather unconvincingly). Kyousuke is confused: his friends are obviously hiding something from him. He's not worried (per se) because the magical squirrel is obviously friendly, but he is extremely curious.

Magical chibi Mozart, Chopin, and Bach would be even more hilarious and confusing.

Scratch Beethoven for a famous non-musician, and we can start bickering over what the kid's future career should be. When he interrupts us to say he wants to be a musician, we can spit on him and leave without healing him.

And that solves everything.

They'll be surprised if we don't tell them the plan beforehand.
 
Jackercracks mentioned earlier that there's a possibility that muggles can't see our witchy grief. Probably worth testing. I'm not sold on crediting a grief squirrel with healing him, but we could still walk into his room with a grief squirrel on our head.

My thinking is that if they can't see familiars who are made of witch stuff then they probably can't see our witch stuff either.

I'll consider it a victory if this quest ends with Homura and Sabrina on family therapy. Or just therapy. And Mami, too. And Sayaka. And Madoka...

On that note, we should have a nice, private talk with Madoka soon. That girl needs somebody to help raise her self confidence.
 
@mura: Pretty much.

@boone: Which is more likely, there is this miracle cure in magic or that you're being messed with?

It is not like bad things will happen if we let SayaMado start it off.

@Familiar Healing: While dead musicians is interesting idea, I don't think we can make entire grief constructs do it, just disguises - otherwise run into the problem of disappearing healing since grief is doing the healing I guess.

Under normal circumstances? Being messed with. When someone is demonstrating multiple obviously impossibly things right in front of your face? Generally that magic exists or you're tripping balls. It has a massively unfavourable prior probability but once you're seeing actual reproducible evidence that starts to change pretty quickly. Especially if you're a teenage girl who wants to believe.

Besides, what's going to happen?

"You're messing with me, magic isn't real."

"Yeah, let me heal that arm of yours using magic. Watch these little balls fly, change shape then turn invisible. Here, my ring just turned into an egg thing and now my hands are glowing."

"Okay... fair enough."
