I'm not sure what we should do, but ignoring the whispers is probably not the right course of action. Maybe we can respond to it by voting in invisitext?

We've generally been allowed to respond to invisitext normally. I don't think this comes down to a formatting gimmick.

Oh and I assumed "who are you" was Sabrina's question about the witch. Probably not, upon reflection, but there you go.
 
@Firnagzen Was the question "Who are you" part of the whispering (i.e. repeated over and over again at low volume), or was it a separate one-time question? If it wasn't part of the whispering, did Sabrina perceive the question directly in her mind?

today was the most disappointing day of my life..."

"I didn't get to ride a cannon ball, the Witch fight was boring, the Witch wasn't even buffed up against timestop! All I got was some cryptic bullshit I could've gotten from Oriko. Really, Feathers should put a little more effort into this! If at least it would have done something like, possess Sayaka and use her to fight us so we'd have to beat her in order to free her! Something! Anything!
"I heard that."
"All I've got now is this nagging sense of paranoia..."

A faint whispering seems to resonate from the ground, distant and nearly inaudible.
Who are you?
Homura frowns at the ground for a moment before withdrawing an assault rifle, blocky and matte black with a shrouded barrel, from her shield.

So... Is it possible that the ground alive in this Barrier? Since we're in contact with it, timestop doesn't affect it fully, even though it usually doesn't affect the ground we step on?

Homura doesn't seem surprised, so much as annoyed. We should ask if this happened before.

I'm not sure if mentioning Oriko is a good idea right now. Sayaka almost got eaten by a witch who knows how she'll react to the witch kiss, and Mami and Homura are kind of on edge right now. I don't think now is the best time to namedrop Oriko. How is that even suppose to help?

Oriko helped save her life, it's a natural place to mention it, and this'll help us later when Sayaka inevitably finds out Oriko set the fire.
 
As much as I'd like to attempt some kind of communication, now's not the time. Well, unless the witch somehow survives all of that. Of course, if it did, I imagine we might have other things to worry about.

[] "This reminds me... Homura, I have been thinking of ways to deal with Walpurgisnacht, what we're doing right now is basically Plan B; you stop time, I provide transport and infinite ammo, and Mami and whatever other girls with ranged attacks we can wrangle in fill the air with a ludicrous amount of firepower"
-[] "Plan A is just you stopping time while I rend it, but we'll have to test if that brings the target into timestop at some point."

Just leaving this here, in case I forget later. I probably will.

Eh, I expect the name drop causing more confusion then anything else. It's not something we can just assume it's going to be glossed over. And elaborating about Oriko right now is suboptimal.

Who'd tell her if not us, here and now? This is the best chance we have to set the stage for a later reconciliation once the messy details come out.

Us, not here, and later?

Just tell her somebody warned us. If she wants to know who that somebody is right now, she'll ask. If not, she'll likely ask later, out of curiosity, and because she'll like to know who else she seems to owe her life to.

Because that'd drag it out and make it an awkward mess rather than something we mention in passing- and Homura won't like it if we flat out ask her rather than just dropping the mention.

It's already an awkward mess. We're working with the people who burned down her house and "forgot" to mention that little fact to her. If we mention Oriko or that someone told her that she was in trouble, Sayaka is probably going to want us to elaborate.
 
Faint shatterlines web across the dead, leaden sky, and abyssal black paints a wide stripe beneath your feet - a long, straightforward path to a distant, spiked monstrance of brilliant crimson, faded to a muted vermilion. A faint whispering seems to resonate from the ground, distant and nearly inaudible.
Who are you?

You know what?
You lie awake for a while, with your eyes closed, as you think things over. Mami, yourself. Mami and yourself. Yourself. Who are you? What are you? Something Madoka did? Either Madoka? An abberation in the timelines? Something else?

You stroke her hair gently. "Mami, my point is that they're your friends, too. Just like me," you say, smiling at her.

Mami doesn't respond, simply returning to leaning her head against you.

You exhale slowly, returning to rubbing her back in slow, soothing circles. This... is really something that needs to take time to heal, you think. And maybe therapy, but then again, Japan. Your mind wanders a little, a thought you've been turning over for a while bobbing to the fore. Who are you? Apart from the obvious?

You... think you were created by Madoka's Wish, last loop. And you think Homura thinks so, too. You could technically call Madoka mom, in that case. Momdoka? Madomom? You can only imagine the expression on Homura's face if you said that in front of her. Or called her mom.

Mami shifts, turning in your arms to press closer into your side as your hand slows.

We'd like to know, too. :p

What if it results this is just an effect of the Barrier that causes the intruder to doubt themselves?

It's not Feathers talking, but just picking this Witch because it would confuse us?

Yeah, but telling her Oriko just saved her life is damage control for when that does come out.

Well that's silly. We know just who we are. We're the person who hugs Mami a lot and inadvertently traumatizes her sometimes. :p

Then why can't we just tell her when it does it come out? Or why can't we just explain the entire thing tomorrow instead of waiting for that particular bomb to blow up?

And like I said, what if Sayaka starts asking about who she is and how we know her? What exactly are you planning on telling her?
 
I don't really see it being much of a problem. TBH, we haven't been stressing much about Sabrina's (lack of) memories at all - we're much too concerned with making the future brighter to be caught up in our lack of a past. Heck, Sabrina jokes to herself about brain damage all the time.

>She's a magical girl we fought a while back but now we're working together. She can see the future.
