As Onmur says, blades won't be good enough for the drugs. I actually considered fire first, but I don't want to inhale the smoke. We need a way of destroying it completely without residue or affecting anyone. That means a chemical reaction. Which was why I thought "acid".

We don't need to do it right now. We can take the drugs and dispose of them with Witch stuff later. We're already carrying lots of grief around, anyways.

We'd just need to resist the temptation to keep the drugs and become Drug Lord Sabrina.

That'd be a way to deal with grief spirals...


"Who needs Grief Seed, when you can't grief? Take this powdered salvation, you'll never go Witch.

"Its effects are temporary, just as your feelings, so come back to see me, I'll keep you hale and hearty.

"In reality it's got many drawbacks, specially for your mind, but none as bad your contract, which you didn't sign."


[BAD END?]

Well. We certainly are going to need some drugs to help Akiko anyway.

Her current state is acknowledged as best helped by them.

Something insistently bugs me that this is not the best way to invoke feelings and we should grief make empathy feeling-inducing face paint or similar, though, as to thumb our nose at something.

Hm, though if we want to bug Feathers, we should go for the opposite of magical mind control. And she has certainly bugged us enough.

Her brain damage is acting up again...

I... I'm really not sure why you think illegal, recreational drugs are the solution to Akiko's problems. Beyond the obvious point that getting her high will not necessarily do anything to improve the situation, there's also the logistical questions of where we're going to keep the drugs until then, whether drugs applied to the meatsack would even do anything to someone who's thought process is in a gem, and the repercussions to our reputation among other groups for trying this. Also using drugs to spite your parents is dumb.

So no. If we do anything with the drugs, we drop them off at a police station, or maybe destroy them. End of story.

I think that feathers is something else entirely, it is an entity that is not from this universe, that is curious and wants to get in to our universe to try and make itself become part of this world.
 
... Okay. Do you have any evidence for this? Because "extra-dimensional entity with black feathers, which can alter timelines, that takes a special interest in Madoka," is decent circumstantial evidence towards Homucifer being involved.

It's ironically kind of right that the vote ends up without the sword in it. I put it in the vote because I was two people voting for it. :p Not sure where it came from.


Can you destroy drugs with blades? That stuff needs to burn. We can just take it and burn it later.


Not at all. People don't work like that.

What I'm reading here is that you wanted to take Homura's question, which she made for her own purpose, and twist it and use it for your own. Homura opened up herself looking for something in particular, that is a reason to be happy, so trying to use that moment as a way to make Homura trust/cooperate/socialize better would've been beyond fumbling it.

Homura asked for something. We gave her the closest we could. A sensible answer to a difficult question, one that might still bear more fruits than we've seen. We just need to wait and see.

I see progress. I expect Homura will be acting less recalcitrant, more willing to go the extra mile. Would be awesome if she tried asking this same question to other people, like Madoka and Mami, so she could have more POVs to reach her own answer, thought I doubt she will.

You mean that as in anime people, right? I've never see anybody make a speech outside a formal setting and be taken half seriously.


At least she's not a Mac.

I feel we didn't give a decent answer to the question she asked out loud (Seriously, reread her responses. That was a last second recovery that just vaguely reaffirmed her own approach to things which involves more Madoka tunnel vision, more single minded focus and less group trust that we should be comfortable with.) that our answer to the implied question of what we think she should do differently wasn't adequate, and that there's absolutely no good reason not to try and be uplifting, whether you want to call that a speech or not.

She was asking for advice and we gave her platitudes. It's a measure of her trust in us that it worked out as well as it did.

As such I really feel we failed last update. It wasn't a disaster but it was a lack of success, which is worse in some ways. Whatever gets done out of this eventually? We could and should have done more. But we didn't.

Mreh. I see it as doing something that was good enough.

Different opinions I guess. Still, not worth crying for anymore. What's done is done.

tl;dr: Sabrina isn't a Sue so much as a deeply flawed OC largely being kept alive and successful by a bullshit powerset. ie: in keeping with PMMM...and the other shoe hasn't dropped yet. For her being a hollow wreck of her former self...give it time.

Arguably, the Sendai Arc was kind of a turning point of sorts with many of Sabrina's flaws being put out on display, and she fully recognizing many of them. If this was standard PMMM, Sabrina would refuse to change and then eventually meet a suitably tragic and ironic end. Luckily character development is a thing, and Sabrina has already gone through some of it already. We just need to keep it going and continuously try and improve ourselves and the way we do things.

Err... you're aware that recreational drugs are kinda different from medicinal drugs, right? And that yakuza are more likely to have the former than the latter? And even if we found medicinal drugs, we would have no bloody clue what to prescribe her?
 
...Uh, guys.

I don't think a quest that isn't based around a Mafia PC should get near drugs in any way, shape, or form...let alone one where we're playing Sabrina. Basically meguca Superman in a lot of ways. As in someone trying to be a good person helping others. Which usually is fairly light on drug abuse.

So yeah, shred them or leave them but...no drugs. Full stop.

Just trap the drugs in a air tight impenetrable grief sphere and vaporize everything inside. Our grief powers are hax.

It's not like we can't do anything more about it. We could always bring it up later or actually show Homu how to just relax and enjoy herself. Or we could just have an entire day dedicated to fun. We can (and we probably really should) afford to pace ourselves.
 
I'm inclined to not bother with the drugs. It pretty much implies meddling with a problem that doesn't concern us and that we don't completely understand.

The consequences of doing so can funnel down violently and negatively to people and families that don't deserve the fallout from our actions.

If we're going to involve ourselves this much with the yakuza, we should address the problem thoroughly and completely, or not at all.
