I'll vote for this, but, as a nitpick, I don't know how I feel about blushing at the end there. It made sense when we were already in that mood from the nonvocalized part, but without that it just seems kind of...a disproportionate reaction to babbling. I might be out of touch with Sabrina's character though.

It does follow fairly well towards the end of the babbling, but yes, you're not wrong.

*shrugs*

Maybe because Sabrina is normally pretty shameless and not easily embarrassed about that sort of thing?

What's with the babbling, anyway? Adding flavor to the vote or something?

Also, did we zone out a all with the grief laser? I also kind of wonder if this means we can make grief flashbombs. There's also enchantment practice that we can do.
 
-[x] That said, 'Finale' isn't... This doesn't really match up, so far. Not to Tiro. 'Finale' should be reserved for something that does. You're thinking... 'Lux Aeterna"! 'Eternal Light' is appropriate, since the whole point of this attack is that it keeps going outside of your range.
Actually, are we sure that this isn't on the same power scale as Tiro Finale? We basically just vaporized a car. That laser probably was an order of magnitude or two more powerful than the ones that the US military has been experimenting with mounting on airplanes, and if really was 300 MJ of energy, that's more than a thousand times the energy of a 30mm round from the GAU-8 anti-tank Gatling gun on an A-10 Thunderbolt.

In other words: that was a pretty big gun we just fired.

I kind of agree, but also I'm not sure that it's actually possible. Blushing is an involuntary reaction. It's not just something you can decide to do. Although perhaps a magical girl can.


Work it into a plan and I'm on board with that.
[X] *hugs*
[X] Of course it's alright, Mami. I asked you because I value your opinion. What you think is really important to me.
[X] And... it's really cool when you're all badass and confident like that.
[X] I just want to make sure that my attacks are worthy of the awesome names that you come up with. I dunno... is this really on par with something like Tiro Finale?
-[X] If she thinks that it absolutely is, accept "Luce Finale" as a name. If not, tell her you're going to save "Luce Finale" for something that is, and settle on "Luce Eterna" ("Eternal Light") for this one.
[X] Also, did I zone out at all while doing that? If so, how long? Zoning out in combat would probably be bad.
[X] If not, then this was way more successful than anticipated. Kind of makes the other stuff I had planned unnecessary.
[X] Were there any ideas that Mami wanted to try, or wanted us to try?
[X] If not, we have a couple ideas. Can Mami make the things she conjures with her ribbons magnetic?
-[X] If so, lay out some ideas she could use to make a summonable railgun or coilgun.
-[X] If not, can she create a projectile that will behave like metal around a magnet. If so, then we can make the gun while she makes the projectile.
[X] If none of that, it's okay. We have an idea for a tandem attack with Mami. A Tiro Duet if you will. Duet Finale? Is "duet" Italian?
-[X] We can make the gun, but any projectiles we make would be useless at long range. But Mami is great at making projectiles.
--[X] Try making an unloaded grief musket and see if Mami can load it with one of her magic "bullets" and then test-fire it. If it works, then maybe it's something that we can scale up to be even bigger than anything we can do individually.
[X] If none of the ideas pan out or appeal to her, that's fine. We still had one really big success today. We couldn't have done it without her.
[X] *hugs*

That's true. My quibble was that I don't think Sabrina would be blushing in that situation, I know I don't blush if I find myself rambling.
 
[x] She's right, of course! If your attacks don't have fantastic names, why even bother? You might as well be one of those poor, sad people that don't name their attacks at all!

[x] There was another thing... Maybe you should've asked back at the house. You'd been wondering about any old projects Mami might have had? With her ribbons?
-[x] You had a couple ideas, but, well, she's had a lot of time and she's really smart, so she's probably tried them already, but maybe you could come up with something together...
--[x] You don't mean to imply that she couldn't do it herself you just... you're babbling again, aren't you.

[x] Listen to Mami's ideas and apply suggestions. If she has things she wants to test, including combination attacks, cooperate with her.
-[x] If she doesn't have any ideas for right this minute, then ask about how she can gather information with her ribbons. You've seen her do things in the kitchen from another room. Does she think you could so something like that within your range?

[x] Telepathically contact Homura. Ask how she's doing and how last night went. Let her know that we're currently testing highly destructive attacks with Mami. She can come join us soon, or if she comes a little later, can be there for Sayaka's training session.

This. Although

"apply suggestions."

The fuck is that
 
What about naming Sabrina's attacks in a different language than Italian, like French or Spanish, it can be more complimentary to Mami's name theme instead of just an extension of it?

I am a fan of this, but we are trying to make her feel like her suggestions are good by taking them. Idk how well that message would come across if we modify too much (though if we're already choosing a new name, a new language isn't that much more).

She's already named our first attack in Italian, though: Dissoluzione Bianca.

Then legacy that one in because Mami named it, but say we don't want to just copy Mami's thing and it'll be cooler if the naming theme is slightly different.

Part of the problem with this relationship is limpeting and no personal space. Its a little bit of individually, but not a rejection- it's clear where the influence came from without us just being an extension of Mami's taste in theatrics.
