Unforeseen Consequences pt. 12
"I, ah," your eyes dart between Mami and Homura as you take a slow step forward to interpose yourself between them. Behind Mami, Madoka slowly wilts in on herself, now just clutching her hands to her chest. She's staring at you, hoping you'll be able to resolve this entire situation. Why?

Staying with either of them would let you change so much, but you just can't decide whom you'd rather stay with. You consider suggesting a timeshare, but then you realize that you'd be imposing rather heavily on the both of them.

You clear your throat, "Homura, Mami, I'm very grateful to the both of you for the offers. But, ah, I think I'll take Mami's offer, if that's ok with you, Homura?"

"Hah! Take that, transfer student!" Sayaka shouts, pointing at Homura. Mami beams at you, clearly happy with your choice, and Homura, by contrast, seems completely indifferent to your choice. Madoka's gaze just flicks to Homura, and then back to you.

"Sayaka!" you snap, feeling obliged to defend Homura. After all, she was simply trying to be helpful to you, and you're grateful even if you're not taking her offer. "Maybe you don't like Homura, but there's no call to be that rude."

"What, did you not hear what she did yesterday?" Sayaka turns to you. Madoka putting a restraining hand on her shoulder doesn't seem to do much as the bluenette bristles indignantly.

Your response is interrupted by Homura herself. "It's OK, Sabrina." She takes a step back, clearly preparing to take her leave.

You can't just let her go like that. You-

"Homura?" you reach out with an ability that you instinctively know you can use.

A slight pause. "Yes?"

"I- I'll be in touch, OK? This isn't a goodbye; there's no reason we can't work together. And I'll try to bring Mami around, OK?" you say frantically.

"You seem to know a lot about being a magical girl. Some people don't, and they don't take it well when they find out some things. I would advise you be careful," Homura replies, even as she walks away.

"Well!" Mami claps her hands together lightly. "Now that that's done, Sabrina, I was planning on bringing Madoka and Sayaka to see a hunt today. You're new, but would you like to come along? We should be able to find a little time for you to experiment with your magic first, though we'll have to skip that planned snack." She glances apologetically at the other two.

"Nah, that's OK, Mami," Sayaka declares, Madoka nodding timidly beside her. "We had a big lunch today, anyway!"

Mami only seems to notice your general dishevelledness and the discolourations on your clothes now, as she slowly winds down from the confrontation. A small frown appears, and she adds, "Or maybe we should head over to my house first? I'm sure we could do with a little freshening up."

[x]"...That sounds great...Mami?"
-[x]Thank her again. She didn't need to help us.
-[x]Grateful. Cautiously optimistic.
[x]Realize the Incubator might know more than it's said...and it said some strange things earlier.
[x]Mention that we'd like to talk to Kyubey about our contract later.
[x]Go to Mami's house...then when we get a quiet moment alone with the Incubator.
-[x]"Kyubey. Who am I? How did I get there? Why was I dying, and why did you say contracting was risky for me? Why'd you care?"
-[x]Ask about your magic.
--[x]Confused, near-panic mixed with knowing what it is. Acting calm's wasted on QB anyway. If it knows anything...it probably will find a way not to say it, but it's the closest thing you've got to a clue right now.

And... telepathy was another meta slip. Good thing we can claim spotty memory.
Claim? It's not even an incubator truth that Sabrina knows the facts about magical girls and has no idea how she knows them. :D

I'd rather leave Kyubey the fuck alone. Giving it any toehold is just asking for Pain, and trust me, GMs actively look for ways Kyubey can fuck people over.

It's still the only source for Plot right now, and the "risky" from OP is setting off my shadowruns. Kyubey mentioning a contract as risky? Kyubey, of all beings? It's possibly just be part of it trying to get Madokacontract, but still. Also "strange"? Confused Kyubey? Plot hooks detected.

This is just confirmation that it has no useful/dangerous information, we're not telling it anything we know about things, and it makes sense to ask. Short of it witchbombing out the blue, which would be unprecedented this early in events...we're not giving it room to fuck us over other than telling the truth.

Way, way too much packed into that other vote.

Eh, with the meta slips... It's bound to come out eventually that we know way more than we should about these people. Out of all of them Homu would probably handle it best,having been in the position herself. I don't know if that fact that Sabrina doesn't know how she knows these things is good or bad though...

Okay I've calmed down from earlier and have half the mind to just delete those posts but that'd be sketchy and rude so I'm not going to. I will however apologize to the Mumi because stress and dehydration does not a good Lilithium make.

But now I see that people want to poke with the Incubator while in the house of Tomoe Mami. That- that is such an increduably bad idea why would you do this?! Homura just warned us about this in that indirect way of hers! Please no! God no! I beg you don't do it, it ain't wise. It's sillier than how I was acting earlier.
 
I don't think too many of us are going to go through with poking the incubator, Lili. We're all at least familiar enough with the PMMMverse enough not to dick with those things...I hope.
