Fuck it.
[X] Grief up a crow flying in her face to get her to turn around. Moderately plausible deniability - nothing obviously impossible, just unlikely.
[X] Okay, you don't want to talk; I get that.
-[X] Serious, no-nonsense tone. Drop the act. "But the way you've said it tells me that you match the profile I'm looking for, that you're going to matter in the future. I don't think you should be so willing to give that up. Especially not to... well, you'll see."
[X] Grief up a pair of glasses (just the rims, no glass) directly onto your face.
[X] I'll see you later. Don't trust anyone... or anything.
[X] Talk to Kyoko when you're finished with Sasa.
-[X] Um, yeah, sorry about that.
-[X] Be right there.
[X] Head over to Kyoko.
-[X] If you can do it by flying away from a dead-end alley, putting on a Grief-bended Ring of Invisibility, or some other way to play up your mysterious-ness for Sasa, do that.
Only Firnagzen can see grief?
Solid Grief is visible to all.
Kyousuke's jaw works soundlessly, and finally, he delivers a flat "What."
You shrug. "Yep," you say, drawing a single marble of Grief from your ever-present sling bag and letting it circle your hand once before rocketing over to hang in front of his face. Hitomi watches there little sphere, eyes bright with interest, while Kyousuke hesitantly pokes it with his finger, waving his hand all around it to check for strings.
"Is that it? I can... feel it, but I can't see it," Sayaka asks, squinting cross eyed at the approximate spot the Grief is hanging in.
, Grief marbles nucleating out of firmament.
"Oh, hey, I can see that now," Sayaka says. "And it doesn't feel as... bad."
"Yeah, it seems to be a density thing,"
It makes sense, given how GMs feed on their players' despair.
[Q] "I actually asked exactly for this."
Sasa has no desire to interact with Sasa ever again. Makes sense.Personally, I have no desire to interact with Sasa in any capacity ever again, a feeling that is likely shared by Sasa herself.
I think we need to reach an understanding.She offers nothing, and is flatly not worth the time and effort needed to attempt to socialize with her.
We really should have brought Kirika for this. She'd know how to chuuni this up.Yeah, no. The whole chuuni-showing off thing will lead to nothing good.
(Hey, how's the cross dimentional ritual to exchange SVers with anime characters going, by the way?)
...No, that's not true at all.Yeah, I know. No acceptable paths forward. The only thing this entire conversation has done is give this shithead a target, which means we can't even walk away safely. I'd vote for mindrape if I thought Sabrina could justify it, since that's the only way this quest is going to survive more than four or five more updates.
Prove it....No, that's not true at all.
Seriously, Sasa isn't all that hard to defuse if we actually put our backs into it and think our votes out.
...No, that's not true at all.
Seriously, Sasa isn't all that hard to defuse if we actually put our backs into it and think our votes out.
But we don't want to......No, that's not true at all.

I wonder if Sabrina will take a Concentration debuff because half her brain is away.
But we don't want to...
Or, really taking care of Sasa would take a lot of Sabrina's time, and we're always pressed for time. Mostly because we're already doing what Sasa needs someone to do for her, but with Mami, if at a different scale.
So we don't have the time to care for Sasa's broken psyche because we're taking care of Mami's broken psyche.
Helping meguca and Potentials in depth is a full time job and that's why we need fucking psychiatrists and Madokas.
Or even psychiatrist Madoka.
We should tell Madoka to take up psychotherapy.
"Excuse me mister shrink, but I don't think you can relate to my problems. Have you faced a Witch lately?"Child Protective Services: The Government Agency tasked with Helping Minors in Need.
How does your mind work?Also, after the MSY, we're putting a meguca in charge of CPS. It just seems like a good idea.
"Excuse me mister shrink, but I don't think you can relate to my problems. Have you faced a Witch lately?"
"Well, I'm a married man."
"What."
How does your mind work?
Our CPS representative will find herself in jail in record time for breaking and entering and puncturing the guy who's next in court after they managed to stabilize him.
She'll be too busy crashing the stock market for that.... I see your prediction of violence and raise you an Oriko-planned takeover of CPS.
Any ideas for weaponizing Kirika in the name of love get a vote from me.Ehhhhhh.
We'll get bestbuddy to ask her for us. "For all the other Kirikas and Orikos out there" we'll say. "For the loves obstructed by asshole drunk parents."
Any ideas for weaponizing Kirika in the name of love get a vote from me.
Specially if we can get her to pose and decry awful people in the name of love.
... Specially if Sabrina poses with her.
... And Mami takes photos so next time we've got Madoka and Homura together, we can show them.
Just remember to Science up sparkles before attempting this.
