Someone did a thing and didn't tell us!


"When someone rigs it from the start, and then says "try your best!" doesn't that make you mad? Doesn't that make you so inconsolably mad you never want to try it at all?"

I know this isn't the "Venus" you were talking about but I was bored and I needed an excuse to keep working with Inkscape anyways.

Jupiter!Kyoko and Neptune!Sayaka?
 
[ ] Point out that to Sabrina herself and everyone near her, being able to cleanse via her power, Grief and Clear Seeds are literally useless except for giving away.
This is kind of late, but thanks but listening about not voting during the moratorium.

.

By the way, next time we (actually) get around to it, which 'speckled' enchantments should Sabrina try to make for herself? I think that might be a vote in which we'd want to be a little specific.

Not absolutely specific, mind; at the end, Firn's gonna have to keep whatever special effects Sabrina carries in mind, so we might get limited buffs just to make things simpler.

As far as ideas go, there should be a lot of things to try?

- Sense enhancement (hearing, sight, magic senses if possible).

- Lie detection, as effective as it might be.

- Short range telepathy, to avoid using KB comms when possible.

- Toggable privacy device, so we don't have to remake the thing every time... and so it doesn't feel witchy.

- Toggable force field/other protections/anti-sniping?

- Spider-sense? :p

I'd like to hear ideas, if there's more, then cut down whatever stuff would seem less useful (or just things that people do not want), and know what we'll try next time we make the Enchant-Assist Bracelet Gem (RIP Bracelet).

... I wonder if the Grief Enchant-Assist Gem can be used to make an Speckled Enchant-Assist Gem.

Wow, I've just been reminded of this, and it's been so long...
Sabrina: "Kirika didn't like my second joke. I should make better jokes..." *Deep thinking.*

Madoka: "Oriko? Kirika?"

Sabrina: *Distracted* "Yeah, the ones that set Sayaka's home on fire."

Sayaka: *Gapes at Sabrina.*

Sabrina: *Still thinking* "But don't let Sayaka know that!"

...

Sabrina: *Starts and looks around.*

*Sabrina looks at Sayaka. Sayaka looks at Sabrina.*

...

Homura: *Slowly covers her face with her hands.* "...Why do I feel so disapointed?"
We have come so far.

I still think that was good.

  • [x] Tell Nadia that that's the plan. Because these aren't your grief seeds. Every magical girl deserves a good life. Thank her for believing and helping you. You will fix this.
    [x] Call Rin and give a heads-up.
    [x] Offload a chunk of grief to Kyubey. Not all, but you don't want to be threatening.
    -[x] Don't let him disturb Mami.
    [x] On the flight over, warn Sayaka that you're... not on such good terms with this group. Quick recap and explanation.
    [x] Go to the Sendai Group
    -[x] Try to be friendly. Ask how everybody is.
    -[x] Cleanse, refresh their Grief Seeds.
    -[x] Offer a Clear Seed. Usual conditions, warnings, and instructions.
    --[x] Subtly(?) express a hope that, if everybody has one, nobody will have to fight any more.
    -[x] Ask about Akiko.
 
What I meant is, it was so long ago we were joking about a bad situation... and we've actually solved that situation by now!

It took so long, but it got done, and things are going better!

EDIT: Basically, there was a time in which we said we'd do a thing.

And we did the thing!
And here I thought the source of your amusement was that the omake featured Sabrina just casually blurting out sensitive and upsetting information... and then we went and did exactly that at lunch today. :p

Lie detection might be handy when we have to go untangle the byzantine politics in Tokyo.

I have my doubts about whether a "spider-sense" is possible, since it's basically precog.

Regarding the privacy device, I'd like to see us make some sort of telepathic relay that we can leave outside the privacy field to let us know if someone tries to send us a message while we're in there.

I suspect that making our own telepathy/communications network will require having an enchanted item at each end to work.

So have Oriko do the enchanting. Isn't that the whole premise of your Cleansing Enchantment approach?

We can always leave our phone outside the privacy field.

I figure we might be able to telepathy anyone in our range, ala KB comms.

Speckled Enchantments won't help actually replacing the KB comms themselves.
No, the spider-sense is a way of detecting spiders. :V
Bee-Sense. We need Bee-Sense.


"So another meguca group wants to cause trouble."

"It's OK. We can just... Befriend them like the rest."

"... Hold on. Something's wrong."

"MUAHAHAHA! You thought you could just come to our city and tell us what to do?!"

"Mami! This is bad!"

"What's happening?!"

"My Bee-Sense-!"

"That's right! My magic power... is BEES!

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*

"OH SHIT RUN!"

"TIRO FINALE - ROCKET VERSION!

*Mami and Sabrina mount the Tiro Finale and-

VROOOOOOOOOOOM!

-speed away at a percentage of light speed*

"No one can beat bees."



And that was the city Sabrina couldn't save.

Clearly the problem is that we didn't channel our inner Queen of Escalation. Though that might be a bit hard, since we still have all of our limbs.
 
Hypothesis that Grief wouldn't be able to disperse when it leaves Sabrina's range if it's physically contained by something other than her magic?
... We still haven't got around to testing what happens when 'enough' Grief exits our range at once. We even asked Homura to help us test it.

Also, there are definitely ways to contain Grief without Sabrina's powers, given the Incubators do it.
 
Hmm...was looking at some of the sketches from the PMMM artbook. Besides being really enlightening regarding about architecture in the series, there's also a little bit about Soul Gems and Grief Seeds here:

Article:
  • 横から - from the side
  • ひらべったい - flat
  • マミ用 飾り - For Mami, decoration
  • ほむら - Homura
  • さやか - Sayaka
  • 杏子 - Kyoko
  • まどか - Madoka
  • 銀色 - Silver color
  • メダル - Medal
  • 各キャラでメダル部分違う - The medal part differs from character to character
  • まどか - Madoka
  • マミ - Mami
  • ほむら - Homura
  • さやか - Sayaka
  • 杏子 - Kyoko

Article:
  • バラ園の魔女 グリーフシード 前 - Witch of the Rose Garden - Grief Seed - Front
  • ケルトルート- Gertrud
  • 影無し - no shadow
  • 大きさ ソウルジェム このくらい - size of Soul Gem is like this
  • うしろ - back
  • ソウルジェム - Soul Gem
  • フレーム残しつつ - while the frame remains as it is
  • メキメキと割れながら縮む - contracts as it rapidly breaks apart
  • 一気にズボッと - In one go it pops and
  • 棒部分生えてくる - the rod-shaped parts grow
  • (貫通するみたいに)- (like they go through it)

Might not be of much use, considering it mostly confirms existing suspcions, but I thought I'd share it and see if anyone can draw any new conclusions based upon it.
 
"Quick, everyone hug me or you'll burn to death!"

*Villain rushes Sabrina and tackles her in a bear hug*

"I knew you'd come around."

*Villain-chan blushes externally*
