its like she wants us to kill her. Personally I'm more insulted by the cronies remark. we are trying our damnedest to treat everyone as equals and she goes and insinuates we are like some sort of Magical Mafia that press-gangs girls into service.

hey, Firn! do we just look untrustworthy to megurcas? cause everyone so far has been cagey as fuck about talking to us.
 
I suspect she really knows nothing about how puella magi work. To her it may still be the happy idealistic sailor moon world, where we are the villians.
Not knowing she could die, not knowing how vicious problems over territory get betwen Maguca, obviously not knowing about gems and witches...

All of this possibly exaggerated by whatever her power does to her and her poor home life...

This is tricky, possibly worse crash than mami if we just tell ehr the truth. Mami was at least somewhat jaded ind ealing with otehr puella magi, and knew her life was dangerous.
 
I'm really really tempted to just gag her at this point. Gag her, then explain the situation to her. At this point, I doubt her opinion of Sabrina can drop much lower.
 
[?] "If you're going to commit suicide, do it in a different city sow e don't have to clean up your mess."

I really have no idea what would actually work here.
 
[x] What you want will get you killed.
[x] We can't have that.
[x] We're sorry that it had to come to this. We really didn't want to have to come get you.
[x] But you're a part of this team now, and we're not letting you die
[x] Show her my Soul Gem
-[x] If this breaks, I die. If it fills, it shatters
-[x] I have to teach you how to survive, because I don't want to lose you
 
well an aggressive response would not likely been that much better but well...

We know how to be subtle. That's when we use chemical explosives instead of nuclear.

Our relationship with Ono is so bad, we are literally attack-on-sight. Aggressive guaranteed to be ineffective, because it just reinforces her view of us.

Anything other than aggressive will be ineffectual, because she will be too busy trying to fry us to actually listen and comprehend.
 
[]We know more then you do, okay? We know a lot more about how dangerous being a magical girl is. Do you think this is like Sailor Moon, or Pretty Cure? I fucking wish. Now if you'll shut the fuck up, then maybe we can tell you some of that, and stop you from fucking killing yourself.
--[]Show soul gem
---[]You see this? This is a soul gem. Literally. Kyubey ripped your soul out of your body.
----[]If this goes dark? Game over. You're gone. Poof. And that "darkness"? The corruption? It's literal despair and hopelessness. The darker your soul gem, the crappier you're gonna feel - which means the faster it'll build up. One thing spirals into another, and combined with whatever magic you have that's using up your reserves...you burned through the seed we gave you and are already clouding up at an alarming rate. So excuse me for wanting to literally save your soul.

Proto vote. Go on a gigantic angry rant?

EDIT: Guys, she has a right to be aggressive. We broke into her home. Proved that her safe-place isn't safe. She's confused and threatened. We cannot be threatening or aggressive. We need to come off as "parent" or "teacher" rather than "enemy".

EDIT: We also, need to provide her with a sense of welcome and belonging.

I'm honestly tempted to stab ourself to shock her, prove a point and get her to listen, but Mami and Homura might not react well.

Serene rage masks her face, icily arrogant fury trying to intimidate you into leaving.

Something somebody in this forum shared once: When dealing with violent crazy people, women are restrained, but not gagged, they need to be able to yell all they want.

[X] Smile, thank Mami. If there's any possibility you can communicate her to let you handle things for a few minutes, without telepathy, now's the time. Otherwise, if Mami tries to intervene before Ono gets out of control, gently stop her.
[X] Keep an eye on Ono's Gem.
[X] If at any time Ono starts yelling or ranting, let her be, then continue:
-[X] Tone: Confrontational. Prod, try to rile up Ono to get her to vent her anger on us. Possible points to bring up, unless given better targets:
-[X] She's not scaring us away. (As Magical Girls), we fight far worse every day; today was particulary terrifying.
-[X] We'd leave her alone any other time, that would be right, but she's practically commiting suicide. We can't let that happen.
-[X] We simply want her to live; she doesn't need to help us if she doesn't want. Just stay alive and uncorrupted.


EDITED
(Smile at Mami) This is important.

So, now I want to piss her off further until she gives up. (More rile her up so she vents at us. She might say something useful, and might plain be better off getting some frustrations off her chest)

EDIT 3: This post is a mess.

(not really important, but Sabrina is a conglomeration of all of us, and having multiple 'my's is getting weird)
-[x] If this breaks, I die. If it fills, I die. If it gets more than 100 meters away from me, I go comatose until I get physical contact with it again. This gem is my life now.

-[x] We're trying to change that with my power, but it's not so easy.

(Don't forget Mami and Homura. Let's not make it seem like we're the big boss and treat everyone else as familiars. Also it was 'we' everywhere else)
 
Likely not the time to try such things just yet, but if things don't go anywhere due to her power's effects upon herself it may be worth taking a shot at making an item that either cancels out magic from a specific source, or prevents magically-based mental influences.

*Facepalm* OF COURSE!! How have we been so blind?!

[x] Tell Mami to let Ono go for a second
[x] Dissolve the Grief ring on Ono, trapping her in timestop
[x] Fly over to Oriko's
[x] Pull them into timestop
[x] Ask Kirika for a favor. Emphasize it's a matter of life and death. Even if she's hesitant, Oriko should be able to convince her.
[x] Go back to Ono
[x] Pull her back into timestop
[x] Blast her with anti-magic (continuously, if possible)
[x] "How are you feeling, miss Ono?"
[x] Vote prompt.


We just keep hitting a brick wall with Ono and her friggin' magic. That needs to end. Another 10 updates of carefully-worded social votes that just keep being blindly rejected by her aren't going to help, and we're just going to end up doing irreversible damage to our relationship with her (Akiko-level, except she has no-one to care for her).

"Oh hey, I know I've been bothering you lately, so instead of me breaking in into your house and what not, we're gonna send you to live with this girl over here! Kirika say 'hi'."

"Hi!"

"That way, she can blast you with anti-magic 24/7 so you don't have to hide your feelings! Awesome, right?"

More seriously, we don't know what Ono's wish was, or what her power is. I'm pretty sure it's just a facade, so anti-magic might not be useful at all.
 
This is a terrible idea. Obviously we are thankful, but Ono is right there, so it's not the time nor the place to thank Mami, since that would just be more fuel for Ono's anger.
Fuel it, then. She's restrained, and she might be better off letting all her anger out.

Mami's more important, anyway.

Sharp slap to surprise her? That works in anime right? :V
And it worked really well for Akiko! :V
"Jesus fuck," Sakura mutters. You fight the completely inappropriate impulse to criticize her swearing for a lack of creativity, barely winning. The teleporter strides forward, radiating anger, and reaches out to bodily manhandle Akiko to her feet. "Up, get up."

The bluenette stands, swaying drunkenly, head dipped and feverbright eyes darting madly about. You're not sure if she even recognizes there are other people there on the roof with her, let alone who those people might be.

Sakura leans back, one arm drawing back with palm unfurled. She hesitates for a moment, bringing that arm back forward again.

Then she slaps Akiko. Not full force, not putting her entire body behind the blow, not even hard by any reasonable measure.

Akiko crumples to the floor, blinking vacantly upwards.

"Sakura!" Rin says, stepping forward.

Sakura grunts. "Fuck. Thought that would work," she mutters.
Oh wait, it didn't. :(
