Letting Oriko and Kirika go is not in the cards. Now can we loosen the house arrest? Maybe. Kirika specifically requested if she could take Oriko outside for a bit one day. We could do that under supervision. Yeah it didn't work the last time we pushed for it but it would be an easier sell.
 
Why is the lie detector being witchy that bad? I mean, obviously it would be nice to be able to walk around with one, but for the purposes of verifying Oriko's claim she'll understand if we're up front about using it.
If it's Witchy, it's only for detecting whether Oriko's lying, we can make it later. If it's not witchy, we can just keep it around.

... How well it works, if it works, well, we'd have to test the thing, I guess.

Though, would Sabrina having a lie detector attached all the time make Mami uncomfortable? Or anybody else?

I think it would bother people. Also, they can work around it if they know.

Personally think we should include a way to turn it off for Mami, at least. We trust her, and every girl has her secrets.

Everyone else...well, they don't need to know. We DO need to know, though, if they're lying when they say they won't kill Oriko (Homura) or get themselves killed (Sayaka).
 
BTW, the quote that makes me think enchantments made with the Grief-Enchant-Assit bracelet don't feel Witchy:

"Right," you murmur, slipping the bracelet on and selecting another of those smoothed rocks from the small pile on the table. You'd make a ring, but you don't have a normal ring to work with. So a rock it is, then.

You exhale slowly, holding the rock on the flat of your palm. You know what you want -pain blocking- so you simply pour magic from the palm, letting your intention and the bracelet guide the formation. Grief wicks into the winding traceries of magic, giving the enchantment a speckled appearance to your mind's eye.

"Here we are," you say, holding it out to Mami. Absently, you dissolve the bracelet rather than keep it around - the Witchy sensation's probably a distraction.
Mentioned: Getting rid of the Grief Bracelet because it feels witchy. Which implies the enchantment made with it, doesn't.

Let's say we start asking to let them go and bargain down to letting them out now and then?

Probably not if we let Mami try it out. "I'll never leave you." True
We're an equal opportunity meguca.

"I'll never microwave your tea." FALSE

Idea: Get Familiars or improve our Enchantment skills, then create something that can monitor the Mikunis 24/7, even while they're out and about. Something they can't get rid of either.
 
Well! Looks like Mami/Sabrina can happen a lot sooner than I expected. Also glad that Oriko is doing better than I expected, but we should still deal with that ASAP. I still think we should find out more about the Soulguca and try to get her here earlier. Also, Mami is a magical genius! She copied our wings practically effortlessly! If she had our powers, she'd probably have achieved much more than we have by now.

New goal: Build a device to switch megucas' powers.

A chibi K&O for O&K.

I'm sure she'd agree about wasting her Wish.

All the more reason to practice creating a Grief Contrl enchantment. We enchant a ring with Grief Control and we give it to Mami.

And, well, the only material we've got around to make rings is gold, so... :V
 
She also has only one mind. It's unclear if a normal person (regardless of knowledge) could manage our abilities as well as we do.
There's at least a clearly magical component to the multitasking. Sabrina's multitasking improves when she transforms.

EDIT: Best or Worst idea: Take Oriko and Kirika with us for the cleansing trip.

... If Sayaka doesn't want to come, maybe?

I've been wanting to give other people our powers for ages. Think about how much easier helping Oriko would be if she had our powers.
 
[X] Lunch? Lunch.
[X] Ask Mami what she thinks about Oriko losing her powers... and what does she think about ending the house arrest.
-[X] Oriko's depressed. She's giving up on her life, and being confined makes it worse.
-[X] If Sayaka and Homura agree, can we let them go?
[X] And on the purpose on making sure Oriko's being truthful about her powers, you want to try and make a lie detector... one that won't feel witchy.
-[X] Make yourself an anklet out of gold. Make a Grief construct to assist your Enchanting. Then use that to enchant the anklet with 'Lie Dectection'.
-[X] Remake ChibiBrina: Braid Edition
--[X] Enchant ChibiBrina to detect lies as well.
--[X] Try and enchant her with the ability to last beyond your range.

One of the reasons Mami got so OP was because she basically sacrificed her social life and gave being a magical girl her complete focus. Meanwhile, training and improving has pretty much become Sabrina's last priority compared to everything else. Before this morning, it feels like it's been a while.

Also, it looks like the girl who very likely to become a Witch has been missing for three days. Nice.:V
 
*returns from work*

Let's not Science someone else's Magic lest we do something to break it permanently.

Resetting the Hourglass requires turning it 180° and we all know what happens when you reset the clock. The risk far outweighs the rewards, and I doubt Homura would want anyone touching her shield if it carried the risk of looping again.

Or we reset the clock and EVERYONE goes back in time.

I wonder how many land speed records Mami would break getting to that alley way.
Homura: You beat... me
Mami: Yes.
Homura: I can stop time.
Mami: *preens*

New goal: By the end of this quest, Sayaka must take Homura as her idol.

Respectful, attentive, even eager to help her senpai.

... And Homura bearing it for Madoka's and Sabrina's sake, but otherwise having little idea what to do with a blueberry kouhai.

Homura: ... how did this happen
Sabrina: .... sorry?
Homura: No no this is actually.... enjoyable.


Sabrina: Homura look! New haircut! *shows pig tails*
Homura: [Freezes] [stops time] [Sabrina finds a gun in her face] Undo them ...undo them now.
Sabrina: ... [Shocked] But but... [Moment of dawning realization] I'm sorry Homura, I'm sorry!

This ain't subtext. This is just text now.

It was subtext, then footnotes

now its just text.

A girl is dying on or watch. :sad:

And if I felt I could change that I would act on it immediately but idk jack shit about how to do that tbh. :/

my two cents:
The world is too big to save, too many people. One person can not be motivated to save everyone. In the end they are motivated by a small handful of people they want to save. Much like how while a war may be fought for ideals like liberty or democracy (Using WW2 as an example) the solider is not fighting just for those ideals but for what those ideals give his wife, children, parents etc.

Oriko needs to figure out that she can't just 'save the world' she needs to figure out who she's trying to help by saving the world. Even Sabrina is or has rapidly gone from saving all magical girls to saving all magical girls to save *those* girls.
