I am deliberately very light on her thoughts, so as to... smoothen the flow. But read her actions, and read between the lines - I tell a lot of the story by body language.
It does seem a very blunt thing to say unprompted to someone we have never met before.Ehhh, that last part seems fairly vital and is about as blunt as we can get without screaming in his face about it...
Yeah, that's somewhat intentional. We definitely don't want the guy to like us, and we want him to get the hint. Previous drafts were somewhat more tactful, but this is a case where niceness might not work in our favor and we want to get the point across. We have actually talked with him before, briefly.It does seem a very blunt thing to say unprompted to someone we have never met before.
Of course!Honestly, Sabrina seems more like a Clark Kent than Bruce Wayne anyway.

I'm not clear why him liking us is a bad thing, but I appreciate that this plan plays to our our social strengths.Yeah, that's somewhat intentional.

We don't want a repeat of the Homura healing timeline awkwardness. Just cover our bases a bit and being a bit scowl'y while getting across what we'd like.I'm not clear why him liking us is a bad thing, but I appreciate that this plan plays to our our social strengths.
... We're spending pages planning being off-putting and awkward in order to prevent a boy we see once every fifty posts from fancying us enough to be off-putting and awkward? On the basis that he would be into Homura if she played mysterious saviour?We don't want a repeat of the Homura healing timeline awkwardness.

You don't?We don't want a repeat of the Homura healing timeline awkwardness.
He had a crush on Homura.We don't want a repeat of the Homura healing timeline awkwardness. Just cover our bases a bit and being a bit scowl'y while getting across what we'd like.
We don't want a repeat with us as the starring character.
We want him to get healed, not be a problem, and for him, Hitomi, and Sayaka to sort out their mess in a way that results in everyone happy and having tea with Mami afterwards without any contracts or other sadness out of it....

I have been skim-reading the discussion, but I thought we had some ulterior motive.
Moemura, and that's why we're using a group.
No, no, no. That's not how it works, you ignorant person.Of course!
[q]Disguise yourself
-[q]Put on the best disguise of all time: a completely ordinary pair of eyeglasses that covers almost nothing of your face.
You don-
:/You don-
Oh, right. You'd rather be the starring character. But what aboutKyoukoMuramasa?
Careful Ugo. Using the newspaper on the QM is fraught with peril.
Exactly. Rule one of any forum quest: Don't piss off the GM.Careful Ugo. Using the newspaper on the QM is fraught with peril.
Some things cannot be allowed to stand.Careful Ugo. Using the newspaper on the QM is fraught with peril.
The newspaper does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Newspaper OP.Careful Ugo. Using the newspaper on the QM is fraught with peril.
Or go the Bakemonogatari route: Groucho glasses for Mami, Hawaiian t-shirt, shorts, flip-flops and sunglasses for Homura. I don't think Sabrina would even need a disguise at that point, but a white lab coat and frizzled hair would not be out of place.No, no, no. That's not how it works, you ignorant person.
[q] Disguise yourself.
-[q] Put on a pair of very thick glasses.
-[q] Grief make hair extensions.
-[q] Slouch.
-[q] Frown.
-[q] Get super baggy clothes.
[q] Get surprised when you get instantly recognized.
-[q] Curse the fact that you forgot that the glasses should change your apparent eye color.
-[q] Be oblivious to the fact that you're the only person around with long white hair.
If you tire of the shipping and jokes at your expense, change your avvie. Can't change mine at the moment, though. Maximum lulz resulted from it over in the SV Hunger Games.
It's a running joke, dude. He's not actually angry.If you tire of the shipping and jokes at your expense, change your avvie. Can't change mine at the moment, though. Maximum lulz resulted from it over in the SV Hunger Games.
