Next, in PMAS:
Hey, the girls getting their bodies a little idealized will probably help them cope.
Most of them probably will be in no state to help.
Well, the Soujos want Soul Gems intact, so they'd try to avoid breaking them or letting them witch out whenever possible. (Also, the discussions in the series always describe solo magical girls as being the norm and functional teams as the exception, so most of her/their victims were probably solo operators.)
The alternative is them never waking up. Once they're awake, we can ask them their names and find pictures of what they originally looked like.
Is it? If Kyuubey can give us a hologram of them, or even just enough identifying information to pull them up on Facebook, we should be able to make them right the first time instead of spending time editing it based on feedback.
No, it's not. Other alternatives exist.
No that's dumb.
That's assuming that Kyubey decides to be helpful and give us the name. (Has Kyubey ever demonstrated the ability to project holograms?) That's not a certainty.
We should probably try to heal/repair the corpses before we install anyone...and make sure we only use the corpses of females, preferably teens.
Answering questions is kind of Kyuubey's thing. He won't tell us about the actions of a given magical girl, but he's perfectly happy to provide us with names.
And anyway, not asking because he might not answer would be stupid.
How exactly do you envision these girls giving us DNA-level information on their previous bodies, and why does not having it mean that we should give them template bodies instead? Waking up after being dead for an unknown amount of time is going to be stressful enough without them also not having a face or voice they recognize.
Except when it suits his purpose to withhold information.
It would be nice to not need it, but yeah. Sayaka picked up hypnosis from someone, right? Keep her on hand.
Sure, whatever. I'm not in the mood to argue Incubator psychology. If it doesn't answer it doesn't answer and we're no worse off than before.
I keep having to remind myself that people care about these things. Why can't everyone be all gungho for transhumanism? It would make this so much easier.
Soulguca?
Too far out. We'll likely have the stock of soul gems before Soulguca gets here, and unless Mami is hiding a walk-in grotto, we don't have anywhere to store all those gems unless we want to just kind of throw them in a pile somewhere.
Sayaka being a paladin probably means she'd want to help wake the girls up, so this is a good plan. And we can trust her not to abuse her power because of aforementioned DEUS VULTery.
Tea can also be calming.
OR we could attach their soul gems to chickens and make the chickens joust each other!
Don't take me as gospel on this, but I half-recall words a while back near the beginning of the thread to the effect that it may be possible for a dedicated healer to heal from nothing but the gem.
... doesn't this mean the witch cant be named Dedolere?
