I will rue the day those 2 goals enter into conflict. Deeply so.Meguca are for saving.
When we run out of meguca to save, we start saving normies.
No surprise Mamihugs?We have infinite multitasking as long as it involves Grief. Just set up scanning arrays using analogues of the micromechanical camera idea I had until we can see everything. Go full Clairvoyant. Then nobody gets the drop on us.
On the other hand, we can always do surprise Brinahugs.
You know, if we make a bajillion eyes out of Grief, and manage to use them effectively... it would suck to ever go back to normal sight.We have infinite multitasking as long as it involves Grief.

edit: without social fuckery and outright betrayal, but that's much more difficult to pull off. And if we go full panopticon, completely with brain scanners, even that becomes almost impossible.
Meguca don't need to keep their soul gem on their body. Mami's power is perfect for spoofing that sense.Well, actually, it's hard for Mami or anybody to surprise hug Sabrina, since they'd need to be within her sensing range to hug her.
Yup. Ever done a challenge run in a video game where you refuse to use a particularly useful or foundational ability? Feels like that, except you're losing a chunk of brain instead of an arm. Probably even worse than when your cell phone runs out of battery and you lose your calendar and note-taking and RNG and wikipedia.You know, if we make a bajillion eyes out of Grief, and manage to use them effectively... it would suck to ever go back to normal sight.
Maybe not, but it still needs to be fairly close to them.Meguca don't need to keep their soul gem on their body. Mami's power is perfect for spoofing that sense.
Sure, but that doesn't mean Mami couldn't get the drop on us if she snuck up behind us while we sensed her gem coming up the school's stairs.
I think we can sense the magic flowing through meguca's bodies and the magic coming from the Soul Gem. We should be able to sense megucas even if they weren't keeping their Soul Gems on their bodies.Sure, but that doesn't mean Mami couldn't get the drop on us if she snuck up behind us while we sensed her gem coming up the school's stairs.
Our sensing range is double as long as the Soul Gem's range.If our sensing range is greater than the soulgem standard range, then it's not possible to approach us that way.
Can I just say how disappointing it is for Sayaka to turn out to be a power copier, only for Sabrina's power to somehow be uncopyable, Homura refusing to allow Sayaka to copy her power, Oriko is losing her power (and Sayaka still doesn't know she burnt down her house), and much of the potency of Mami's power lies in extensive skill and experience/knowledge in turning it into something really powerful? At this rate, just about the only power in Mitakihara she can copy and immediately get good usage out of would be Kirika's.
The universe is going to destroy her for this. No happy. Only tears.
Kirika is going to be so jealous when we tell her what our ojou can do.
Sayaka: I vote we kill Oriko.As a side note, this is likely temporary. Homura was already willing to consider the idea, and if all goes well and our Sayaka proves herself to be less of a lemming then most Sayakas, Homu's willingness to share will only improve with time.
The issue is lack of trust, and the only way to overcome that is positive interactions that don't end in flames, for both sides. I'm hoping today will actually bear signifigant fruit on that front - between Sayaka learning about what Homu is doing to prep the city for Walpurgisnacht and Homura being the most 'on her side' for the Oriko thing.
Kirika: I vote we kill the two of them.Sayaka: I vote we kill Oriko.
Homura: Agree.
Sayaka: *Surprised look at Homura*
Homura: *Surprised look at Sayaka*
Sayaka: Wow, I...
Homura: Maybe we can be...
Sayaka: Friends?
Homura: *Tentative nod*
Mami: ... Are they bonding over killing someone...?
Sabrina: *Sniff* It's so beautiful...
Mami: ...
Y tho. Homu & Koko friends.
Sabrina: *Bops Kirika on the head*
*CRACK*
Sabrina: *Dematerializes warhammer*
