Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

To be specific:



Inoue Yuuki has a pixel theme to her magic, and is skilled enough at 'hacking' of the bullshit Hollywood variety that she can spoof weather radar systems.

I kinda wanna see her go all-out, actually. Any bets she could break into a NSA database using a web-connected fridge? :p

She might know the addresses of those meguca IRC channels Mami mentioned hearing rumours about, too.

[Q] Buy Inoue Yuuki off the Ishinomaki group.

"What! Are you nuts?!"​

"I offer... TEN Seeds!"

"I'm not for sale."
"That's right, Miss Sabrina. Please stop trying to buy my sister."​

"You won't think the same after you hear my next offer... of TWENTY SEEDS!"

"The answer remains no."​

"Not enough? You drive a hard bargain. How about thirty Seeds and a gold bar?"

"Wait, real gold?"
"Aki!"
"I-I mean, the answer remains no, Miss Sabrina!"​

"Forty Seeds, two gold bars and a Mami-Hug."
"W-what?"
"Shush Mami, I'm negotiating."

"What nonsense are you spouting now?"
"I don't know girls, maybe we should consider all our options..."
"What."​

"Ayaka?"

"Uh, hi... Mami."
"Oh for f-"
"But it's real gold, right?"
"Hey!"
"What? Come on! How often are we offered actual gold?"
"How often do you sell your friends!?"
"Gold."
"Fuck you."​

"May I raise my offer to fifty Seeds?"

"No!"​

"Sixty Seeds!"

"No!"​

"Fifty five Seeds!"

"... You... lowered the-"​

"Infinite Grief cleansing for life!"

"Sold."
"Sold."
"Sold."
"Sorry Yuuki. Sold."
"Sold."
"S... Shame on you all!"
"... Fuck you. Fuck you all."​

...

Inoue Yuuki has joined the party!

*Joyous fanfare*​

Actually, Sabrina doesn't need to mess around with lowball offers like that when negotiating. A single clear seed has the approximate cleansing power of thirty-seven thousand normal grief seeds. (Or, in other words, the average grief seed is filled 99.9973% to capacity the moment its witch is defeated.)

In truth, Sabrina's hardly got any negotiating power when she's offering something she's gonna be handing out for free, anyway. :V

We haven't actually said that we're going to give out clear seeds. I mean, we're going to, but our actual offer was to "refresh" grief seeds and clear soul gems, IIRC.

But wouldn't Yuuki be pissed off when she finds out about it, in the hypothetical situation she was sold out for Seeds.

...

Also, almost all of that negotiating about Grief Seed exchange rates with the Sendai groups kind of went down the toilet, what with Clear Seeds.
 
So. Looking at the math, here's my analysis of clear seeds.

Using @Kinematics numbers from way in the past, we see that a ratio of ~37500:1 is a pretty conservative estimate of the clear seed cleaning ratio.

From here:

Instead, you send Mami another quick question. "By the way, Mami, how many Grief Seeds do you use, say, in one week?"

"Very well," Akiko concedes, finally.

Mami responds more promptly. "Umm," she says. "Using my powers is the majority of it, really. Maybe... one every two weeks, if I don't use my powers at all?

We see that one grief seed lasts one meguca around two weeks of passive existence. Thus, one clear seed should provide 1442.3 years of passive existence.

Even split twenty ways, that's enough to provide puella magi with a lifespan comparable to that of a normal humans. (~70 years)

I think that if we're going to try to enlist help looking for Kuroki, we need to do so now. After that... I would, again, push the "talk about Kyouko," and moreover with the topic broached it would be reasonable to do a "training - reconciliation" vote, with the latter phrased more as a question than a statement.

I sleep nao, elaborate in morning or smthng

You know, this brings something to mind: we're about to collect a lot of Grief. Are we planning on giving any of it to the Incubators, or are we going to try to keep it all?

That occurred to me a few weeks back but noone had any suggestions...

I'm warming up to the idea of just keeping it, and having a small apartment block's worth of solid grief hovering over our heads at all times. For, uh... intimidation purposes! Yeah!

Fun story: nuclear missile silos are completely disconnected from the internet to prevent exactly that. The only way that nuclear missile computers can communicate? 8-inch floppy discs.

Yes, really. :D

The most powerful weapons in human history run on these things:

I'm not sure you could even run the game Missile Command on this, but apparently it can run the actual thing.

Thing is, what Miss Pixels does has about as much in common with actual hacking, as what Homura does has in common with relativistic physics - aka sweet fuck all.

Homura's time stop lets you see and breathe because that's how the idea of stopping time works in Homura's head - which means that Miss Pixels "hacking" works on Hollywood hacking plot bullshit, where an "air-gap" just means she has to type harder on her second keyboard. :V

No, no, that's how you get past separation of duties (the whole needing two people with two keys to unlock a door deal); getting past air gaps means hanging from the ceiling while typing. :)
