Yeah...we may want to hold off on going outside at least not without saying something further? I get the intent but it does feel a bit abrupt/like palming it off onto Kirika and hoping she can fix this?
Just as long as the fact we're just taking a break is explicit to Oriko, it should be fine. We could scratch the 'telepathy' part off or just make sure Sabrina says she's taking five.[x] Right, let's take a break. Everyone needs to cool off. Cleansing.
[x] Telepathy Kirika. It's going to be okay. I'm not going to leave it at this. For now just be with your Ojou alright?
[x] Back to your blue coat. Dismiss the maid outfit.
[x] Go outside to the yard. Sit down. Take a breather.
-[x] Check the time.
-[x] Telepathy Mami. Have a chat. Ask her how her test went.
Would it matter? Oriko is not listening to Sabrina at the moment.we may want to hold off on going outside at least not without saying something further?
KIRIKA. APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE ORIKO.
She's angry and acting based on that after a verbal misstep. I think there's a difference between "lashing out in a moment of anger" and "nothing more to do here, she's not going to listen no matter what".Would it matter? Oriko is not listening to Sabrina at the moment.
You fool! You should have noticed... Kirika already has an Oriko tracker and a self targeting system! Kirika can apply herself to Oriko, and has been doing so all along!
Kirika solves all of our problems.You fool! You should have noticed... Kirika already has an Oriko tracker and a self targeting system! Kirika can apply herself to Oriko, and has been doing so all along!
Clearly, what we need is...
[Q] Clone Kirika.
-[Q] Enough Kirika.
MORE KIRIKAS!
As long as we make it so all Kirika clones are controlled by the original, this OTP shouldn't even become endangered by this procedure!
"... You... did... what."
"Just forty of fifty of them..."
*Eye twitching*
"I couldn't keep them all in there..."

"So I thought I'd keep two or three around..."
"I... ngh..."
"You OK, Homura?"
"Agh!" *Stomps off*
"... That went better than expected."

[... FOR EACH KIRIKA]
Took you guys long enough to figure it out.
I realized that long ago.

Why exactly do we have to try and do everything ourselves again? I mean, Kirika is sitting right there. And it kind of feels like we're shutting her down by just abandoning the conversation and leaving, even if it's only temporary.
And I think we're falling into the trap that Sabrina can just solve everything single-handedly in a single conversation. Which is pretty arrogant.
Anyway if you guys would excuse me, I'm going to vent for a bit. Since this is all uber frustrating and infuriating. And because Sabrina herself likely won't, seeing how often she represses stuff.
Honestly right now... I kind of feel like saying sorry to her. Sorry for saying some of the insensitive stuff we just said right now. For pushing so hard so fast on her. For sort of lecturing her. For keeping her stuck here, not being able to convince Homura to give her a break, not being able to offer clear tangible solutions instead of just words.
Looking at it from her perspective, I know that it's pretty cruel of us to ask her to keep hoping despite everything, despite it hurting. But the intention behind it is just to make her feel better about everything and have hope. Because her being like this just feels wrong. And because if she completely gives up on it, then despite what she thinks, I think that she'll continuously wallow in despair and misery. Just waiting, feeling powerless, for the moment where she loses what little she has left. And Kirika will have it even worse. Her surviving if she keeps hoping and struggling is far from certain, but if she gives up then she most likely will die, imo. And I'd rather that she not die. Her or Kirika.
Or we tell Oriko to look into Kirika's future per Senquorin's suggestion.I'm partial to Whiskers suggestion.
If we're going to talk we need to be careful here or everything is just going to be disregarded as another 'pretty speech'.
@Agent Whiskers If you can condense this into a vote, I'd definitely consider bandwagoning.
I'm still in the middle of waking up and not quite ready to make adjustsments to my vote yet.
Or we tell to look into Kirika's future per Senquorin's suggestion.
I think that Its not that Oriko stops existing in her visions, but that "Oriko Mikuni" stops existing (presumably because she changed her name to Oriko kure).
[x] Tell Oriko to look into the future at Kirika, and see if she has a constant companion in some of them.
-[x] if it exists ask what that person's name is
-[x] otherwise tell her that there's no reason she should give up on living, just because the name, "Oriko Mikuni" doesn't exist, doesn't mean the girl who is Oriko Mikuni won't exist in the future in some other form with some other name
This is Senquorin's plan now what do you think?Pointless. All Oriko see's is death. She's accepted Kirika's death and is going to join her in death.
He speaks sense our goal is to save everyone.I think with all due respect, Senquorin is grasping at straws. Sorry.

Sounds a bit too negative.oh, fuck my life...
Okay, just give me a moment to try and figure it out, and then put it up.
My main fear is that she'll just think of it as more "pretty" words and just blow us off, especially since she seems pretty mad and resentful. Which would really suck since we'd be really putting ourselves out there. Hopefully, she sees the sincerity for what it is.
[X] Take a deep breath and cleanse everyone's soul gems. Don't get frustrated again. Be sincere and patient.
[X] "I'm sorry, Oriko."
-[X] You know that it's really cruel and unfair to ask her to keep hoping and to keep fighting. That it's unfair to put this all on her. Especially since she's afraid and hurt by it, and there's no clear solution or guarantee. But she's already afraid and hurting, and you don't want to see her like that. Because you think that giving up would just make it worse for her, despite what she says. That it would mean passively waiting for the end in misery. And you didn't want that for either of them. You simply don't want her or Kirika to die or wallow in despair.
--[X] Nonetheless, it was wrong of you to keep push so had and fast without properly considering what she was feeling. To be so insensitive.
[X] "So, I'm sorry for all this. For continuously pushing you so much on this.For only offering pretty words and no clear solutions. For not getting you and Kirika out of this house arrest by now. I'm sorry."
Still not too happy about this. I think I'm going to basically put it bullet points next time I'm on.
