So on the topic of cults, I remembered an omake. And I feel like throwing in a few more words about an hypothetical future where meguca in general somehow get the idea it's cool to worship a few certain girls, specially from Mitakihara.

"How long do we have to wait?" snapped a girl, pacing back and forth.

"Sumireeeeeeee..." drawled another one, leaning against a wall. She lazily took a hand out of her pockets to grab at the annoyed pacing girl. "We promised we wouldn't start without a full party."

"We've been waiting like an hour!" snapped Sumire again, tugging at the red ribbon in her hair.

"Stop that, you'll mess up your hair- oh there we go," a sigh. "Come here you big baby, it's been ten minutes."

Sumire had the decency to look bashful and stay still as her friend pulled her ribbon free and re-tied her hair with it with practiced movements.

"Still," commented a blonde girl, amusing herself by spinning a gun with her fingers, "if she can't bother to call ahead we should just go. I know Madoka's followers can be stupidly patient, but I'm not wasting an hour standing around."

"Hey!" Sumire frowned, "lay off, OK?"

The gunslinger rolled her eyes. "Touchy, aren't we? Just saying it like it is. Madoka's girls can be soooooo annoying."

"Why don't you pick on something your own size, you Ojou wannabe?" a threatening step.

The blonde's eye twitched. She twirled her gun a couple more times before mirroring the other girl's advance. "You trying to say something, sweetheart?"

"Yeah," nodded Sumire, "I'm saying you either apologize to my friend or I'm gonna do so many wrong things to your face the kind Homura would never do..."

"Pfft, ha!" dismissed the other girl, "you know who you're talking to?" she asked spinning another gun into existance.

"Yeah, the girl who almost messed up our last run-"

"I'm the best shot in Kasamino-"

"Best shot my ass-"

"I'll put a bullet in the-"

"GIRLS!" barged in a white haired girl, suddenly standing in between the two fuming at each other- who startled as the intruder grabbed each one by an arm-

And then drew them close into a big hug.

"Now, now, you're both pretty, so no need to fight, am I right?" asserted the white haired girl cheerfully.

Both girls grunted and pushed away at the girl, who had no choice but to let go.

Not that she seemed any less cheerful, as both Sumire and the gunslinger simply turned away from each other, seemingly not wanting to fight anymore.

The white haired girl winked at Sumire's friend, who was wringing her hands silently, and nodded towards Sumire, before turning to stand besides the blonde.

"SORRY I'M LATE-!"

CRASH!

The ground shook- everyone's heads turned to watch a cerulean suit of armor-

Which vanished to reveal a dark haired girl scratching her head. "I would've called ahead but my cellphone broke," she shrugged, before raising her hands to show... "I've got the Doritos, though!"

"Finally!" yelled Sumire, "come on Sumiko, I'm hungry," she said, grabbing her friend by the arm and dragging her off.

The other three girls hurried to follow, all tension forgotten, "I've got the drinks!" added the white haired girl.

The blonde gave her guns a last spin before snapping her fingers, making them vanish. "And I've got the pizza."

"Hammerspace's so useful, am I right?"

"Oh, I got some new dice!" added armor girl, before asking "why couldn't we meet at your place, thought?"

"Nah," called back Sumire, "these streets are a labyrinth, even from the rooftops, so since you've never been there..."

"Ah, well, we could've run the campaign at my place?"

Sumiko looked back, "but you've got to see Sumire's place, she's got this giant pendulum in the living room."

"Wait, like Akemi Homura's supposed to have?" she asked, waving a pack of doritos.

"Yes!"

"Awesome. Can I ride it? I roll for acrobatics."

"Wait- don't actually roll a dice here-"

"WOOO!" cheered armor girl, "natural twenty! You've got to let me ride the pendulum now!"

"... I was going to," Sumire looked at the other girl, "if you had arrived on time, you'd be riding it right now."

"Noooo!" she lamented dramatically, "the unfairn-"

"DAMN IT!"

Every girl flinched and turned as one toward the white haired one, who had her fists clenched, looking despondent at the ground.

"... We could've used that roll."

...

Gunslinger girl palmed her face.

"Oh..."
 
Making a cult about our closest people... I'm going to store it in the "consider later" folder...

On one hand people following the example of Madoka and Homura and Mami and Sabrina...

On secod though, I'm putting it on the "NEVER allow it to happen as long as we still draw breath" folder.

No need to go to extremes. Just think about this:

A legion of bleach haired girl spread all over Japan that, upon finding ANYbody in a bad mood, will try to hug them. And if they find somebody commiting a crime, they will attempt to stop them as quickly and non-lethally and as excesively forcefully as possible... before hugging them.

Who wants Sabrina to hug Sasa and Ono?

"Hey bro, you won't believe the money I found. That house in front of the convenience store, with the gnomes? Fucking. Loaded. We should hit 'em."

*Winces* "... Ehhh, I don't know man..."

"What's up with you?"

"I mean, maybe we should... stop robbing people?"

"The fuck?"

"It's just... just... OK, look, last time I tried to mug someone, some random little chick with white hair came out of nowhere, kicked me in the liver like a goddamn mule, and then..."

"And then what?"

"Nothing."

"Then what, man?"

"Then NOTHING, just... maybe it's a bad idea. We could do something better with our lives."

"... You used to be cool, man."

"Fuck you."

[] Thank Mami for helping you with testing.

@Kaizuki

Vote 7: Domo Arigato, Mami-chan!

[x] Okay then! Hug Mami, then close your eyes and concentrate.
-[x] Unleash... the chibi.
--[x] See if you can look through the chibi's eyes. Try and get the hang of piloting/controlling it. Have Chibi Brina hug Chibi Mami.

[x] Ah, I just talked with Homura. She said she's willing to come for Sayaka's training today, and might show up a little early to catch the tail end of our practice session. She declined to let Sayaka copy her power for now, though. Hopefully she'll warm to the idea eventually.
-[x] Any thoughts on what we should cover in today's session for Sayaka? I was thinking we could cover positioning and approach options. Sayaka was far too eager to rush into melee yesterday. And with Homura here, we could also cover teamwork - do a 2v2. I asked, and she said she has airsoft guns. What do you think?
-[x] Heh. Should we prank Homura and have just our chibis greet her? Or Sayaka? How much concentration does the chibi take? Getting some progress is more important than a silly prank - but both would be nice.

[x] Once that discussion wraps up: GOOD MORNING MITAKIHARA!
-[x] How is everyone? Everyone set for the picnic?
--[x] Sayaka, is that training this morning still on?

[x] Privately message Sayaka.
-[x] Sorry about the early wakeup call. It's just, I screwed up, and wanted to make sure you were okay. Clear seeds can dump the grief in them into normal grief seeds on contact. It's not an issue on its own, but if a normal grief seed overfills... the witch in it can rehatch. I am very, very, very sorry about not mentioning it earlier.

[x] Call Nagisa's uncle. Let him know about the plans for the picnic. Ask if Nagisa can attend.

[x] Thank Mami for helping you with testing. Offer to try working on a tandem attack with her. Start by seeing if you can cooperate to make a automatic firing mechanism compatible with Mami's muskets. Look into what she actually uses for propellant, and how she wants to feed the ammunition.
-[x] If it works, try with a scale model of Tiro Finale, to work out placement of various components, before scaling it up to full Tiro Finale size. Keep in mind the fine control you have over grief, and abuse it liberally to avoid issues common to big guns.
-[x] Confer with Mami on other possible things that can be improved with a combination design. Applying additional electromagnetic acceleration, maybe, if she can make her projectiles conductive, or with a conductive sabot?
--[x] If you do fire it, aim downward, because the ground is pretty much the only backstop that can withstand this thing. Take appropriate safety precautions.
--[x] Let Mami name it.

[x] Greet Homura when she arrives, potentially as two chibis tinkering with a massive autocannon.[/QUOTE]
 
Imagine the Chibis just going WIDE EYED "how did you get so big, Homura Sayaka?!"

(We've already told Homu about chibis)

Sayaka: what the.... Homura this has to be...
Homura: True, I had hope Sabrina would resist longer.
Sayaka: What?
Homura: All magical girls turn into chibis eventually.
 
I'm new here, and this caught my eye:
--[x] If you do fire it, aim downward, because the ground is pretty much the only backstop that can withstand this thing. Take appropriate safety precautions.
Firing it into the ground will make shockwaves. At some scale, this will potentially draw attention or cause alarm. At greater scales, this will be problematic for nearby buildings.
-[x] Confer with Mami on other possible things that can be improved with a combination design. Applying additional electromagnetic acceleration, maybe, if she can make her projectiles conductive, or with a conductive sabot?
In a chemically propelled gun, feasible projectile speeds are limited by the speed of sound in the gas evolved from the propellant. Consequently lighter gases can be used to push projectiles faster. Electromagnetic propulsion sidesteps this limit, but it's not clear that Mami uses gases or molecules of anything in her firearms, and making a grief gas (or grief propellant) with a high speed of sound is probably well within Sabrina's abilities. You may be better off building on existing techniques, especially since conductive materials (or superconductive! Do that if possible) are not something Mami has had much of a need for previously.

On the other hand, Mami's existing version of Tiro Finale probably doesn't use all the oomph that could possibly be crammed into it, since exhausting herself in one shot would've been a bad idea when she was hunting alone. Also, Sabrina can do conductive (or superconductive) sabots. The sabot doesn't need to leave the bubble of grief control. And I bet Mami can supply some fairly exotic ammunition if she doesn't have to deliver it herself.
 
Not bullet casings, I know, but still a showcase of how good Mami is.

Damn. And it's even more impressive when you remember that technically, muskets aren't even her default power. And Mami lost the beginner's powers roulette, compared to most of the other magical girls in the series.

I mean, seriously, she started out flailing and slapping Witches in the face with ribbons. Ribbons!

Then decided to make guns.
