If you were Oriko, wtf are you going to say to live against a Grief-controlling hivemind and a Murderface who knows firsthand what kind of plans you have going?
I'm expecting Firn to have some sort of amazing plan behind it all that none of us will have guessed.

Or it could be the obvious conclusion that Oriko predicted Sabrina would destroy the world. Considering the omake Firn posted about what would have happened with the wish to be able to fix everything (antimatter detonation erases Tokyo from the world), and how crazy SV players tend to be it's rather likely that at some point Sabrina will end the world somehow after all.
 
*Thinks back to the various talk of Grief mechas, positive feed back loops, unlimited power, converting grief into matter, figuring out how to make grief explode*
...I can totally see that.
 
Direct Intervention pt. 37
You roll your neck, feeling your vertebra crackle, and a vague, irreverent thought strikes you - Oriko would probably be wary of doing that for a while. You chuckle out loud, drawing a questioning look from Homura.

"Just a funny thought," you say, shaking your head.

Homura raises an eyebrow at you, but lets it pass when you don't elaborate.

"We should probably get back to healing," you say instead, and crack your knuckles before leaning forward again. You're already calling the healing light to your hands to apply to Oriko's body. Homura huffs out a sigh, switches the seer's Soul Gem to her other hand, and similarly reaches out to continue the healing process.

"So anyway, Homura," you say, after spending a few minutes healing - there's only so long you can be fascinated with watching flesh knit itself together with agonizing slowness. After the first few minutes of fascination, it's all the glorious anticipation of watching paint dry, all the stomach-churning tenseness of watching grass grow, combined with the scintillating visuals of watching a dentist at work.

She looks up at you, her hand still scanning methodically across broken flesh.

"I was wondering, do you have any favourite foods?" you ask.

She looks at you blankly. "No," she replies shortly.

"No, come on, Homura," you admonish. "Let's just talk about something that's not related to meguca for once."

"Meguca?" Homura asks, brows creasing slightly in perplexity.

You blink, puzzled yourself, and shrug. "Dunno. Just a short form that seems to fit. Maybe I picked it up from... before? But no changing the subject. Favourite food, Akemi Homura?" you grin encouragingly at her.

She frowns at you. "What does it matter?"

Short update, but I'm thinking that you should answer this.
 
[X] JOLLY COOPERATION! Besides, I'm your friend. This is a friend thing to talk about. What, is the idea of someone trying to befriend you on a non-mahou shoujo level that new of a idea for you?
-[X] Besides which, a little socialization is good for you, keeps you sane-ish.

[q]I want to know what to look out for in case this is Homulilly's barrier.
[q]You're right. I don't care at all.

[x]Just curious. It can't hurt to talk about it, right? Better than just sitting here in silence? Besides, if you're going to come over again, it'd be nice to know these things.
[x]So...What's your favorite food?
 
[jk] Burst into any Disney appropriate song~
There's got to be one for depressing/overly focused people.

[jk] why you hate small talk? it ain't natural!

[x] Because I am proposing a potluck when Sayaka recovers and I want to make a dish combo that everyone can enjoy.
*ignore the gore of healing while talking about food*

[jk] It's the flesh of fallen angels, isn't it?
