-[o] Telepathy to Homura: Mami. Warning someone that their head almost got bitten off. The irony burns.
Uh...Let's try and handle it with more tact and...common sense? I doubt the character'd take the head loss jokes well.This would be an interesting opportunity to for-real let her in on the meta.
And what possible purpose could breaking Hitomi's wrist serve?
Mami indeed wears her Soul Gem in her hair; it was crushed in the incident. However, the precedent of an MG surviving without a brain is thin at best (the closest we've got is Homura shooting herself in Rebellion, but even then, we can't see if she actually penetrated her skull or just grazed it), and I'm not exactly inclined to test that theory.Speaking of Mami... do Magical Girls actually need heads, or does she like wear her soul gem in her hair?

I'll bet on a little from column A, a little from column B...but mostly B.Alternatively, the sheer panic mami had when Homura pointed the gun at her own head could indicate that the brain is important for Meguca too. Or that Mami doesn't know the name Soul Gem is literal.

Short term problems we need to deal with:
1.Hitomi's saved from the Elly witch kiss, but that'll still have a body count if Homura, Mami, or we don't stumble across it this timeline- plus Madoka if things don't follow the stations of canon.
2. Sayaka contract. We probably need to defuse it. Ask Mami if she could heal Hitomi/Kyousuke with magic when we get a chance.
Long term problems:
1. Mami is currently slightly more stable and less self-destructive (also, not dead), but that can turn around so fast it isn't funny. More teamwork, social links and BEFRIENDING are called for.
3.Oriko's plan which currently seems to make no sense since we have no idea what her goals, endgame, or schemes are and what little evidence we have just raises more questions.
5. Kyubey's absence is worrying. Shadowruns: when a Puella Magi makes a contract to solve the grief problem, he simply stops making contracts for a while and waits for her to get killed somehow before resuming business as usual.
He's probably distracted with Kasamino at the moment and possibly Yuma.
If we're setting up a real team then Sayaka contracting with a healing wish and thereby becoming a meguca with healing powers would actually be reasonably useful, since Mami's aren't really optimal I think.Blue's self esteem issues could end up exasperated because of green in the hospital. If Mami can't do anything because reasons, Sayaka is likely to contract. Mind you, even if Mami can do something, Sayaka could contract anyway because it's Sayaka and she's an idiot.
A team healer is nice, but redundancy isn't quite so much when blue has a track record of self-destructing hilariously.If we're setting up a real team then Sayaka contracting with a healing wish and thereby becoming a meguca with healing powers would actually be reasonably useful, since Mami's aren't really optimal I think.
Plus we could then we might at some point spin that off into a major money making opportunity by selling healing discretely to desperate rich people willing to try long shots and then tell their sick friends when it works.
Fair enough.A team healer is nice, but redundancy isn't quite so much when blue has a track record of self-destructing hilariously.
Profit's somewhat irrelevant compared with functional, relatively safe to use magic in general as a consequence of solving the grief problem. Plus selling Sayaka on that would be...interesting.

Especially since we're discussing 'adopting' (abducting) homeless megucas or those without families. Money would be awesome to have to feed/clothe them. Also, if we get Kyouko to come over and on good terms, we'd probably have to pay for her snack bills.Fair enough.
My point with profit shouldn't be dismissed so easily though. It seems fairly common for megucas to be orphans and money could help a lot with mundane issues of housing and food and clothing.
Kyouko being halfway hobo is one of my main considerations. Especially given we're already leeching on Mami so money might become an issue.Especially since we're discussing 'adopting' (abducting) homeless megucas or those without families.

There's all sorts of ways magic could be used to make money, if Sayaka didn't want to pass out paid healing. Could go full TtS and start a courier service...
Worth a shot, but unless we get Madoka to make her canon wish, we can't really pull off an exact rehash- break the system completely locally, yes, but anything more'd require resources/a system we don't currently have.
