Sabrina: "Hey, Madoka! Are you listening? Madoka... Earth to Madoka! Homu, what's wrong with her?"[jk] See Madoka, here's the thing. You have so much potential that we can't have you make a wish. Ever. For example if you wished for a chair you'd get a chair the size of the sun and destroy the planet.
Same. I'm hoping somebody else will.
There's just about no certainties when dealing with Madoka.I'm not certain if that will scare her away from contracting or get her to start thinking of loopholes.
We basically had to kill Walpurgisnatch ourselves, and continuously support her for the entirety of the quest. It was worth it in the end though.(I was not a participant, but I have read it)We basically have to convince her that she can help us more as a normal human and that contracting will only hurt us. Her intentions are good, but the actions and consequences...
If we give up on Madoka, then we're no better than a multi - looping Homura...
*sigh* How did SQ Sayaka do it?
She clearly has no fucking clue what's going on, what the hell we're talking about, and will only get confused even more. ("Kyubey, I wish I know what the actual fuck is going on!"). Like, is someone dying? Are magical girls going to take over the world and only she can stop them? Is all of this magi shit and transformation sequences just a passing phase for many teen and pre-teen girls? Is Hitomi a Yakuza princess? CAN SHE REALLY GET THE BEST CHAIR(S) WITH HER WISH?!"B-but," Madoka stutters, soft pink eyes darting from Homura to you, and then back again. "I- I don't- what's happening, in the first place?"
So, start with something like:I'd like to ask people building the vote plans to give Madoka some context as the first action because:

*cough* Sorry. But yeah, context. And miscommunication kills, right?
I am admittedly a paranoid idiot but that line

Or rather contract bait.
We could also say it straight and tell her we're worried she might contract too. It'll also explain why Homura got deathly serious just a moment ago about her contracting. Maybe acknowledge that her desire to help is what got us really worried, which reached its peak when Sayaka made a wish.I guess.
Maybe say we were hoping to stop anybody else from contracting and we're worried because we just failed?
Well, this is unfortunately correct, but what I would really like to have happen is that we pull something similar to how Sayaka quest ended, and make sure she does not contract at all. It's a faint hope yes, but not a hope that I am going to give up on.The problem with preventing a Madowish is that Ascension is the natural development path for her. She has no worldly ambitions, is scarily selfless, and is clever enough to break the system via rules lawyering.
The only way to save her, in the long run, is to eliminate the need for her to Contract...and even that might fail, considering her natural affinity for life as a magical girl.
Honestly, our best chance for a good end is to break the system before she Contracts, thus allowing her to become a Puella Magus (not a deity) without risking her sudden death/Witch Out.
Maybe if we cooperated with her...she Wishes for the salvation of all Witches (but not with her own two hands), and we seal the resulting Grief into our Barrier before it can induce the Gretchen transformation. Homura wouldn't like the "Magical Girl" bit, but it would allow her to spend the rest of her days with a living, virtually unstoppable, potentially immortal Madoka...which is definitely the best option she's gotten so far.
I have no idea how we're going to accomplish that though. We're not likely to break it before Walpurgisnacht comes along, and that is usually what causes her to contract if nothing else does.Honestly, our best chance for a good end is to break the system before she Contracts, thus allowing her to become a Puella Magus (not a deity) without risking her sudden death/Witch Out.
That's because Walpurgisnacht wins.I have no idea how we're going to accomplish that though. We're not likely to break it before Walpurgisnacht comes along, and that is usually what causes her to contract if nothing else does.
