[X] Honestly? We're...
probably not going to win, but there's some
really cool shit that we could try, which is actually the purpose. (louder) Besides, they'll be using nonlethal projectiles, so we're not going to be terribly hurt anyways. Probably gonna sting, though...
-[X] I've seen Mami fight, she can tell when attacks are coming without even looking. It's
really cool, and I have no idea if I can emulate it or not, but I want to see if I can. So, I'm volunteering as bait.
--[X] On your side, Sayaka, there
should be some sort of instinct for ranged defense that came with the magical girl contract. You might not get it immediately, or I might be completely wrong, but...
magic. I mean, you're probably not gonna be cutting bullets in half right away, I think, but it's something to aim for, yeah?
---[X] We might actually win if we can get one of them alone and both go for them at the same time. Homura would be a better target, she's probably weaker than Mami in melee. Let me know over telepathy if you see an opportunity for it.
[X] During the spar, focus on trying to sense incoming attacks
- your magic sense included. Secondary focus on trying to dodge make yourself a harder target, use your wings to throw your momentum around with the same technique you use to hang in the air without flapping them, e.g.. Tertiary focus on closing with your opponent while doing those things. If you actually manage to hit somebody pull your strikes.
-[X] Stay in periodic contact with Sayaka. Check everyone's positions with grief sense every so often and if someone is trying to sneak up on her, tell her that you think they're trying to sneak up on her. This will encourage her to hone her own awareness.
[X] If/when the teams change up, try to avoid engaging Sayaka -- this is about dealing with ranged opponents. In actual combat situations it's unlikely that any melee-based meguca besides Kirika is going to pose a threat to you.
[X] After the spar, while everyone is cooling down, dissolve the chibi -- it's really not accomplishing anything except to make people feel witchy noises at this point, and you certainly won't be taking something like that to the picnic where Nagisa would see it -- and hug Mami. Thank her for helping you practice. Thank Homura too, and Sayaka. Ask how Sayaka feels/felt about what she accomplished/did in the spar, try to give feedback (especially praise wherever possible).
-[X] If Mami asks if she should dissolve her chibi too, tell her it's up to her. Hers is the superior version, after all. It would be good if it wasn't at the picnic, though -- Nagisa would find it mighty strange.
-[X] DO THE COSPLAY THING REDSHIRT SAID even tho its after Halloween?
--[x] After the spar, unwind and be a bit silly. Show Sayaka that you discovered yesterday that puella magi can shift outfits when they want to - kinda like how she recreated her cape, but on a bigger scale.
---[x] Cosplay as Shinki from Touhou, complete with wings.
----[x] If anyone specifically asks about the costume, tell them it's an obscure Touhou character.
-[X] If you need a distraction or an opening or whatever, just let me know with telepathy, and I'll try to oblige.
Hopefully this is obvious to Sayaka, otherwise our poor blueberry waifu is more hopeless than we thought.
- your magic sense included
I don't know what this means but it sounded okay
Considering adding this:
[] Telepathy to Mami, Homura, Sayaka: would a five-minute round be good? Catch-and-release, if you score on somebody they're down for five seconds and then back up.
-[] If anyone asks what a score is: ranged hits to debilitating locations or a successful close to melee.
Probably unnecessary tho?
