Actually, some of us, myself included, predicted that she might attack. I certainly didn't think that nothing would happen.

It was predicted all right. But it was later discarded when we were reaching consensus.

[q] Violently criticize Ono's facade.
-[q] She can't even really work her emotions into it, it's so pathetic.
--[q] Is it even there to fool other people, or to fool herself?
---[q] Way to throw away her Soul. We, at least, wished out for super powers. Get it? wished out? OK, that was bad.
[q] She's been talking with Kyubey, right?
-[q] Did it tell her anything important? Like how Soul Gem corruption affects her mind? No, no, we told her that.
--[q] Surely it at least told her about telepathy. Oh, wait.
---[q] Maybe it complimented her on her beautiful-composed-cookie-cutter facade? Kyubey's called us an 'excellent actress' once. Shameful approval, isn't it?
----[q] Anyway, not to cast stones...Eh? Eh? Cast stones, because she's the last person who should... OK, tough crowd. We'd rather cast tomatoes, anyway, right? *Elbow Homura* Right?... Ejem, talking with Kyubey is usually a bad idea. She shouldn't do that. We don't. It works well enough.

So I'm getting conflicting signals.

I'll drop the line about sassing Ono. Though I was thinking some self depreciating humor in the face of her anger would be disarming.

I also agree with the passive blame, and the wording of the clock fixing,

[x] "Sorry about your clock."
Try to fix it. Collect the pieces and try to reassemble them as best as possible. Talk with her while doing so.

[x]-Explain why you broke into her house.
--[x] -"When the Girl that almost died yesterday won't meet for the crash course on how to survive, we get worried."
[x]- Apologize for doing this in such an unpleasant manner.
--[x]...but refuse to leave until the Magical Girl subject is sufficiently covered. We can be stubborn to.

[x]-Support Mami's interjections into the conversation. When she says something, build off of it as appropriate and work with her.
[x] When Ono speaks and interrupts, stop and listen to her. Let her vent if she starts. Keep the dialogue going.

If appropriate, and it seems like she's be receptive, emphasis these sentiments:
[x] Explain that she's under our protection. That we won't let her die. We don't let people hurt themselves.

Here it is so far. Do you guys want to start bringing out the Magical Girl facts now, or next vote? I think it might be too fast, and bringing it out before she's receptive.

I don't think we can address nor touch the clock without Ono getting mad.

After all, she's the one who broke it. Bringing attention to it in any way, shape or form, will make her think about how she's losing her cool, when she values her composture so highly...

But mostly, she won't want us touching her things.

Okay, I'm going to admit I think the gesture is worth it.

We've pointed out the power of coupling words with actions, and the former clock is a perfect opportunity for this. It's already broken, not properly something she can point at and claim to own.

If she does ask us to leave it alone, we can, but she may be too focused on us to make a point about it. If more people want me to take it out, I will; but I want to try.

Anyone else want to weigh in also?

Edit: And should I delete my former Write-in drafts as I revise it? Don't want to clog the compiler.

Sabrina has been more ... angry than I like her recently. That's one of the reasons I really don't want an aggressive vote right now. And so, yeah, I don't like Ugo's phrasing of it either even if I acknowledge that he's right that it would be nice to correct that. It's why I want it treated as a mere factual error in need of correction rather than something to feel slighted over.

Really, we shouldn't be feeling slighted or angry at all. Ono's position is pretty sympathetic. She's abrasive, yeah, but so's Kyouko. So's Sakura. So what? Are we really going to be so fragile that some abrasiveness gets us to question our mission? We want to make every meguca smile, remember?
Click to expand...

I agree with the sentiment...but really, really disagree with it being a reason not to object to Ono's statement. Wanting to help her and being positive towards her- later when that makes more sense- and calling her out right now for something she said are not at all contradictory.

We need to call her out. There is no valid reason not to...and the other vote simply doesn't do that at all.

I'm definitely against throwing in the towel or being excessively blunt or hostile because of Ono bitchiness...but that really isn't a reason to ignore the cronies remark.

Onmur said:
Ono is not demanding answers, she's insulting us. Pretty much everything she's doing, she's doing as an attempt to intimidate us, scare us off. She's throwing a tantrum so we'll leave her alone, that's all.

SWB's vote is not about apologizing, it's about maintaining Ono's rather draining emotional state, until she can't hold onto it any more. Only after she calms down we'll be able to communicate with her.

Plus, angry-Ono says things calm-Ono wouldn't.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
1. She's done both. That doesn't mean she won't want an answer to her question.
2. SWB's vote is pushing Ono's buttons by being vague and not answering her questions for no real reason. Ono isn't going to calm down if we do nothing- which is what the vote tries to do. Maintaining her anger at us- if that is indeed what the vote's trying, I really can't tell what it's attempting to do anymore only that it's likely to backfire at it regardless of intent- is a bad call as well.
3. Ono is still keeping a front up even now. I don't think that the provocative approach will break it. Ever.

SynchronizedWritersBlock said:
Mami already responded to the insult. She didn't like what was said about Sabrina. That in itself says she doesn't put any stock in it at all.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Not necessarily correct- just that she objected most strongly to the slur against Sabrina. Either way, us letting it pass speaks volumes in and of itself- and it's not something we want to imply to her. The act of replying to it sends a message: that we value our relationship with Mami and Homura enough to get upset about it being slurred. Saying nothing is pretty much giving Ono a free pass on that in everyone else's eyes. Which is self-evidently a bad idea especially with Mami's attachment issues.

You and I are playing very different quests if your idea of Sabrina would be okay with Mami and Homura being called her minions. Like...even her pointless self-flagellation over 'Gilgameshing' is pretty much the exact opposite of that.

SynchronizedWritersBlock said:
If the point is to support our friends, there is zero need and in fact a lot of reasons not to respond with significant indignation.

The range of responses can be vague or specific, but don't have to engage Ono's provocation. Anything from "They're here because they're good people." to "They're here because they care about your well-being" to a simple "Cronies? *shakes head* *moves on*"

What I see under the pretenses of defending our friends is just getting provoked and drawn into being indignant or argumentative back at Ono.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Which, of course, is why it doesn't dwell on it, refuses to get drawn into an argument and explicitly moves on no matter what. If you think it's a bad call, add a line that makes sense to the start of yours that acknowledges that the crony remark existed...though none of those oneliners really work all that well in and of themselves. I'm definitely not changing my current version to any of those.

At the end of the day, I'd rather try and get through to her and have it possibly bounce off than fail to answer her questions and make things worse because of it. The SWB vote is a do-nothing-hope-Firn-throws-us-a-bone vote of the worst kind. Seriously. Just read it and the update. Is anything positive likely to come out of that, or are we going to have to actually write a real social vote next update from a worse position if it actually wins?

I really, really don't think the SWB vote winning will go well. The Bones one...honestly, it's missing too much and parts of it seem like mistakes, even if the approach seems closer to something that might work than the SWB vote.

Fixing the clock seems like a bad call right now for reasons already pointed out, and the attempt to explain ourselves is too vague- and doesn't actually tell her why we're worried. Really. We need to STOP delaying and actually give her answers. Answers that she's flat out demanding from us. Plus that last line with protection....ehhhhhh. Not seeing that going over well. Also why does that ignore the cronies line, again?

tl;dr: Don't like how SWB vote effectively does nothing/wants to keep pushing Ono rather than trying to get through to her. Not a fan of clockvote's phrasing of the same approach/the clock thing/lack of cronies reply.

[x]Homura. Put that away, please. (the gun)
[x]Calm yourself before you keep speaking. Let Mami or Homura speak first if they have anything to say.
[x]Yes. We broke into your house. Because you are going to die if you keep doing things your way. That's why we did it, and why you need to listen to us.
-[x]You're using your magic too much. Do that and your gem fills up with grief. If it's full? That kills you.
--[x]It gets worse. Remember what you felt like when we found you? That won't go away unless you use a grief seed...and the worse it gets, the less likely you are to want to do something about it. Grief's self-reinforcing.

My main recommendation for you is to start introducing Kyuubey by asking about what he said about us. If she actually responds, we can probably dismantle what he said by explaining the real context. If she doesn't, explain that Kyuubey hates us, so that she knows that Kyuubey has a motive to tell half-truths about us.

Points from other votes I like:
  • "Sorry about your clock," adds a bit of levity, while still apologizing in a way that's obviously genuine.
  • "Homura. Put that away, please. (the gun)," is probably something that should be addressed.

Better?

[x] To answer your question: You need to listen to me in order to survive. You don't know how to survive as a magical girl. You are burning through an insane amount of magic. To put it in perspective, the average magical girl can go about a week before they need to use a grief seed. You are going through at least one grief seed a day even without fighting a witch. That's irregular and not sustainable. We can help you and we want to.

Jakinbandw

[X] Smile at Mami, and nod in appreciation.
[X] If interrupted, allow her to finish, then continue.
[X] Ono, you have every right to to hate me and want me gone. But I cannot leave you alone when it'll kill you.
[X] It's time for you to learn how fragile we are.
[X] Give Mami your gem and ask her to leave with it and to allow Ono a chance to check my body. Then to return.
-[x] I'll be fine as long as my Soul Gem is with you.

linkhyrule5

[X] Ask her why she thinks you had approached her so abruptly the day you met.
-[X] It's because her gem would have filled up completely and shattered had you done nothing and just let her go. Emotional turmoil combined with overuse of magic will do that.
-[X] She would have died. If her gem gets too corrupted, it will kill her. Either because it would weaken and distract her too much for a Witch, or because it will fill completely breaking her soul gem.
[X] If she keeps overusing her magic and her gem continues to get corrupted at this rate then she'll die. You know that she's already used up your seed. It should have lasted her far longer than this, which was partly why you were worried.

Agent Whiskers

[X] Convey our appreciation to Mami non-verbally.
[X] Calmly. Let her respond to each line if she's inclined to. If she interrupts, let her finish. Pick up again after, repeating if necessary, or picking a response to what she said if one applies and would be helpful, or create a response along the same lines as the below if none apply.
-[X] I'm sorry I had to break into your home.
-[X] I understand that you feel slighted when I cancelled our appointment earlier.
-[X] I apologize that I needed to bother you about meeting today.
-[X] I needed to talk with you today because you haven't been told what you need to know to survive as a magical girl.
-[X] I chose to intrude against your will because you would die if I did nothing. Your soul gem would fill, break, and you would be gone.
-[X] I'm not going to leave until I'm satisfied you are taking me seriously.

[x]Annoyed tone. Don't let Ono drag you into an argument.
-[x]Say what you want about me, but don't you dare call Mami a crony. Or Homura. Mami's one of the kindest people I know. They're my friends. You don't know anything about either of them...and they're here because they give a damn about what happens to you and want to help you.
[x]Homura. Put that away, please. (the gun)
[x]Calm yourself before you keep speaking. Let Mami or Homura speak first if they have anything to say.
[x]Yes. We broke into your house. Because you are going to die if you keep doing things your way. That's why we did it, and why you need to listen to us.
-[x]You're using your magic too much. Do that and your gem fills up with grief. If it's full? That kills you.
--[x]It gets worse. Remember what you felt like when we found you? That won't go away unless you use a grief seed...and the worse it gets, the less likely you are to want to do something about it. Grief's self-reinforcing.
--[x]That's why grief seeds are so important. Why you need to use them, and why most Puella Magi need to hunt constantly to stay alive. Why I want to try and cleanse everyone...and why I gave that grief seed to you.
[x]If you never want to see us again, we'll do that...but only after we're sure you'll be alright on your own. You think I'm a meddler? Fine. Show me that you don't need me to meddle for you to stay alive and I promise you'll never need to see me again after that. You can hunt Witches on your own if that's really what you want, then...but only when we're sure you won't actually die.
[x]If Mami lets you go, will you listen to us?

[x] Sorry about your clock.
[x]-Explain why you broke into her house.
--[x] -When the Girl that almost died yesterday won't meet for the crash course on how to survive, we get worried.
[x]- Apologize for doing this in such an unpleasant manner.
--[x]...but refuse to leave until the Magical Girl subject is sufficiently covered. We can be stubborn to.
[x]-Support Mami's interjections into the conversation. When she says something, build off of it as appropriate and work with her.
[x] When Ono speaks and interrupts, stop and listen to her. Let her vent if she starts. Keep the dialogue going.
[x] Explain that she's under our protection. That we won't let her die. We don't let people hurt themselves.
