You say that like it hasn't already been on the list since forever.

Oh, sure, but know we have a mentor for it.

But we can pretend Mami inspired us (to her), instead of admitting she's beat us to the punch so hard. :V

That sounds more sinister than I intended, but kind of.

I dunno, Sabrina getting completely distracted by the adorableness seems kinda fitting.

Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean we can't want to create more of it.
 
OK, I know how we can help Mami.

We make a Chibi-Brina, with the same comparative proportions as the Chibi-Mami.

Then after a while, we subtly increase Chibi-Brina's proportions.

We wait for Mami to notice, and see if she enlarges her Chibi-Mami to match.

I think this might help Mami.

DONT DEAD OPEN INSIDE
You just want to make Mami into a memer.
 
Well, what I mean to say is that continuing to pretend Sabrina isn't crushing on Mami isn't a good thing and that we should really think about confessing sooner rather than later. Mami is always going to be emotionally unstable, somewhat. You don't just fix that and suddenly they're not broken anymore. And what I'm saying is that she may not be getting the implied signals that Sabrina has a crush on her and may be nursing her own crush that she will never voice to her for fear of pushing her away.
There are still some non-trivial consent issues there. If Mami isn't interested in us (or is interested, but doesn't feel ready to act on it), then her fear of abandonment could drive her to "gaslight" herself into going along with what we want anyway.


Keikaku does not account for outright telling her at the moment. So, if we want to tell her, I'd like to ask Madoka's mom for advice on the topic, first. Because this is dangerus ground.
Do you have this plan written down somewhere? I would like to read it.

Junko is about the last person I would ask for advice about a delicate matter. Alcoholics are not known for their tact and discretion. If we need psychological advice, why don't we try asking... y'know... a psychiatrist? It's not like we can't afford to pay one.



I like Lament's idea of commiserating with Homura about being uncomfortable with having our powers copied. I'm gonna try to fold that into Redshirt's vote.

[x] Squee.
-[x] Glomp both Mamis. Mami? What's the plural? Either way, so cute~.
[x] Reply to Homura.
-[x] Uh, Mami's showing me something. Talk in a minute or so.
[x] Ask Mami all the questions.
-[x] Wow! Does that - can she see through it? How autonomous is it? Is she just concentrating on the outer appearance, or...? How has she done this wonderful thing?
[x] Get back to Homura.
-[x] Sorry about that. Mami showed me how she can use ribbons to make a chibi of herself and it's the cutest thing.
--[x] It's fine if you don't want her to copy your power. I completely understand. I was pretty nervous about the idea myself, and then in the end it wound up not working anyway.
---[x] Consider coming anyway? I'd like it if you and Sayaka got along better, and being present at her training would help with that. It's your call. And if you come relatively soonish, you could catch the tail end of me and Mami's testing.
[x] You'll use Mami's name. It is your first laser, so 'First Light' is quite fitting.
-[x] Heh. Maybe 'Finale' should be an attack that can combine with Tiro Finale. Combination attacks would be so cool.
[x] Wait for Homura to get back on attending/not attending before doing 'Good Morning Mitakihara'. You don't want to put her on the spot.
 
You run a quick calculation or two in your mind, considering how much energy your laser put out. It's substantial, to say the least.

Heh. Eat your heart out, Ramiel girl. What was her name again? Koizumi Sasami, right. Then again, she wasn't actually firing lasers, was she? You could see her beams. Your beams probably aren't visible save by the thermal bloom and subsequent re-radiation on visible wavelengths.

... And of course, your beams are utterly lethal. Starlight Breakers they're not.
Not to mention that we had to painstakingly create laser shields for ourself and our allies.

[x] Squee.
-[x] Glomp both Mamis. Mami? What's the plural? Either way, so cute~.
[x] Reply to Homura.
-[x] Uh, the most adorable thing ever is happening right now. Talk in a minute or so.
[x] Ask Mami all the questions.
-[x] Wow! Does that - can she see through it? How autonomous is it? Is she just concentrating on the outer appearance, or...? How has she done this wonderful thing?
[x] Get back to Homura.

-[x] The whole thing needs work before it's ready for prime time also. Shielding issues, dialing in a proper yield, thermal bloom... really, the setup for the attack was more like getting ready to set off a bomb rather than unleashing a directed energy weapon.
-[x] Heh. Maybe 'Finale' should be an attack that can combine with Tiro Finale. Combination attacks would be so cool.

We know one. Isn't Madodad a child shrink? And not an alcoholic?

Hell, it'd be an opportunity to bring up Madoka's Messiah Complex to him and get his take on it. I refuse to believe he hasn't noticed, so he might actually be doing something to stop it, he just can't outmaneuver the coobster.

Was it episode five when Junko gave Madoka advice on Sayaka?

We're not at all pretending that Sabrina isn't crushing on Mami; we're having Sabrina remind herself that Mami isn't in a headspace where she can properly consider returning Sabrina's feelings. It's not an internal gaslight, as defined in the article, because we're not trying to deny or destroy the feelings themselves, so much as showing consideration for a friend by not putting them in her face when she's dealing with heavier issues.
 
[jk] Write-in
-[jk] Make a tiny chibi version of ourselves.
--[jk] And one of Mami!
---[jk] Heck, chibi versions of all of our friends!
---[jk] Hey, it might be useful to keep these lil guys around. They could be butlers!
---[jk] Or servants.
---[jk] Tiny servants who we created through grief magic. Is there a word for that? There's gotta be a word for that.
----[jk] Spin with joy!
----[jk] HUE HUE HUE
