I think it's funny that one guy thought we were going to appear in mid air and tried to plan appropriately, and everybody else shot him down. We were fine and all, yes, but he still saw that coming...
Oh god. She shows up at Mami's doorstep in her meguca outfit asking for cleansing.
Ehhh... we were literally hours old at that point. It takes time for a quest to gather interest and thoughtful players. Oops. We do what we can.Mami probably gave her a rundown...though she did miss the demonstration thanks to Sabrina inadvertently...getting that woman killed by existing. Oops.
This is why I wanted to make a platform to stand on. We weren't hurt (obviously), but it would have been a lot more graceful to have anticipated the fall.
If the voice from the barrier is any indication, then Timestop wouldn't help.
Oh it's not like I didn't believe you, it was more that grace isn't on my list of concerns.
Pretty sure we'd notice if there was some abnormal grief on her since sensing that is literally our power. Letting Mami explain is all well and good, but how does bringing in the mado help? Homura won't like it either.
Our grief senses are hardly perfect. All humans have a certain base level of grief and we wouldn't necessarily notice that it was higher than normal unless we were specifically checking for it.
Madoka is Sayaka's best friend and is the person best suited to helping her if she's not feeling well.
Law of Conservation of Narration. If it isn't abnormal, then it isn't mentioned. She could have abnormal levels of grief, but we'd be checking for that without having to vote for it, because Sayaka is our
Perfect? No. But within this range? Remember, this is a story, it would be kind of dumb if we didn't notice something we were actually touching having extra grief.
Exposing Madoka to more sads and such, pushing her towards contract, that's why.
This update, or next update?
Next update. We shold make sure Sayaka's okay first. Then we can assure Madoka so she doesn't worry anymore than necessary.
This is probably another one of those things that comes from me trying to react as if the story were real rather than trusting the Law of Conservation of Narration. In real life, if I had a friend who had just been mind controlled by a despair monster and almost forced to kill herself, then I would check for any lingering effects to the best of my ability.
We killed the witch, now the only danger is "Feathers". Since it hasn't attacked us directly (despite having ample opportunity to do so), the Industrial District isn't any more dangerous than anywhere else.
Madoka's friend just got attacked. That's a thing that she would want to hear about so that she can be there for Sayaka. This would also allow us to keep an eye on Madoka without alarming anyone.
We're not actively hiding the fact that Sayaka got Witch Kissed from Madoka, are we? That's a step too far.
That's not something we can do, really. Sayaka and Madoka are best friends, of course she'll tell her.
No, but going out of our way to show her first hand will not be popular with Homura.
That's kind of the issue, yes: this isn't real life, and so the amount of caution one would display IRL when dealing with magic stuff is just unnecessary here. In real life, your troubles don't have to make any sense to you, and you don't have to be given fair warning. Here? We generally get warning, and the threats have to make sense, since a game where shit comes out of nowhere with no prior explanation and kills you and your friends is no fun.
Or we get a new voter. Wouldn't it be hilarious to have an IC character voting here?
Oh, so Feathers is somebody with a fluffy appendage!
Stop breaking my cover goddammit!
