Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Well, maybe we should talk about something else then: enchantments!

Some of us have been saying for months now that we need to get at least a basic three enchantments done before today:
  • Danger Sense (preferably an earring)
  • Discern truth/lies (the other earring)
  • Reactive shield (a broach)
We can fashion them out of the gold we're keeping in our Grief cloud. Really these are just the beginning of what we need to make with our enchantment-booster, but these three are a good start, totally necessary, and frankly are a higher priority than fixing the table. Any chance of working these into the vote @Godwinson? Or is the current lead @Vebyast? I can't even tell anymore.

Watch as flooding the thread with Mami makes Sabrina space out in a Mami-induced haze.

Probably right after we get done kissing her. Which'd be flawless timing.

This scene practically writes itself. Sabrina and Mami are going flying. Especially if Mami pushes it a bit because she's in a good mood and getting used to it, that's going to be exhilarating. When they land, not hard at all for Sabrina to get caught up in the excitement and run over and kiss Mami a little bit without thinking about it. Which is pretty much how the voting went, for bonus points :p. Then she spends the next thirty seconds (or thirty minutes :3) completely blissed out as a result of acute Mami exposure.

This is going to be the best update.

While this is true, correct, and very important, let's not get so overly focused on Mami bliss that we forget that Mami herself had a rather serious breakdown less than 36 hours ago. It's vitally important that Sabrina pay attention to Mami's actual reaction, rather than getting lost in a happy, fluffy haze; the girl is still super-delicate, after all.

I'm expecting an explosion in the Mami thread too. :V
 
On the flip side? Look at how Sabrina has been acting toward Mami since she finally unloaded the big, dark personal secret she was afraid of telling Mami. It really seems like it was the thing that was really keeping Sabrina from acting, that she didn't feel right being affectionate while keeping that secret, and as soon as she told her, she starts being openly and constantly affectionate.

Hell, that's probably what's actually going on in Sabrina's subconscious (that is, the elements of Sabrina's mind that are shaped by cumulative events, rather than whatever the current vote is.)

True. We especially want to be ready if Mami decides to go back in for more. :V

Godwinson has the bandwagon right now.

That said, I think that I agree with your list, though maybe not in that order. I think that a priority over a lie detector would be a private telepathy router, so we can talk to people in the middle of a conversation without having to involve Kyubey. Especially when we're dealing with groups with irregular bomb coverage and with weird psych problems, that's a big deal. Also, reactive force field may not be necessary if we pull the force field part down to just cover our gem. Also also, this is relatively short-term, so we can use speckled enchantments to make it go faster. So something like this, in order?:
  1. White Ribbons <3. Extended range for cleansing and grief manipulation is our single biggest priority period.
  2. Gem force field. Reactive would be better to keep people from getting antsy, but if we keep it small enough and around our soul gem we're probably safe no matter how strong it is. We can already do this, so doing it with a speckled enchantment makes it fast and easy.
  3. Private telepathy router. Also probably easy, thanks to Mami's ribbon magic.
  4. Lie Detector. This is the first hard one, so we start working on it last.
  5. Danger Sense.
 
As for the enchantment research, keep in mind, we've only got an hour to work with here. Creating a single griefhax device can take up to half an hour on its own, like the sonic shower did.

What will happen if Sayaka gets Oriko's power?
Given that she can always replace it by Mami's power if the latter is nearby, this can be a decent way to get precognition right now, or, more importantly, way to test whether Oriko's prediction is inherently biased towards death of the oracle or is it Oriko's psyche acting up.

On the other hand, precognition is a...psychologically trying power to have. Do you really want to risk Sayaka getting fatalistic? Or getting trapped in the same loop that Oriko did with enchanting (she sees herself failing in her first try no matter what she does, so she assumes she has no talent for it whatsoever and never bothers actually trying)?

I'd put 2 and 5 first. Personal safety really ought to come before anything else, even range extension, especially since this is all stuff we should have done like a week ago, practically the same time we learned that speckled enchantments were a thing we could do.

Then, yeah, white ribbons ought to be a priority, but I'd still put Lie Detector first, since we have the big meetup with Bennouna today, in an hour even, and that's just a critical thing to have. After that, sure, white ribbons and non-Incubator telepathy are good to have, but even those three are stretching things, given @Firnagzen's tendency to have hours slip away every time we try to SCIENCE.

That's why I specified we should have Mami (or somebody else we know for a fact she can safely copy) nearby to switch away from precog when necessary.
 
Guys, guys, if we get grief-transferring ribbon combo power, we have to call them "life lines", because they tie magical girls to the 'ship and keep them from sinking into despair and drowning in it. :D
 
Now, now, people, let's not get ahea-- *Prima Luce'd and Tiro Finale'd*
:V

Just so long as we don't call them Life Fibers.
