... so you're a hypocrite, then.

You follow Mami into the kitchen, snorting to yourself in amusement. Mami turns curious eyes on you, and you shake your head.

"I'm a hypocrite," you say cheerfully. "Remember when I insisted on helping to cook despite being a guest here?"

"That's true!" Mami says, giving you a fond look. She taps you on the nose. "Bad Sabrina."​

In Sabrina's defense she was looking at staying potentially indefinitely as (effectively) a dependent whereas we know they're just staying for a few days unless something crazy happens.
 
"Oh-" Mami makes a strangled noise, stiffening in your arms. Your magic surges along the ribbon, flooding down the side of the building and streaking along the pavement, all the way down to end of the street.

"Are you OK, Mami?" you ask, concerned. "I can stop if you want."

"I- yeah, I'm alright, it's just-" Mami shakes her head, blushing. "It's very- hard to ignore. It's a sensation of you, just- crowding out everything."
*looks at Mami's reaction*

*blushes violently*
 
So much science needs to be done with Kazumi and Sayaka.

And from the Discord : Well, i imagine Mami and Sabrina, in a few years, experimenting with soul lewding. Might never happen, but my mind is dirty.
 
Let's ease back from the lewd speculations please?

Also, I wonder how much fine control Kazumi has for all 5 chibi clones? It doesn't seem much since 4 of them were just busy being cuddle pillows. Did the 100m range get copied too?
 
"Alright," you say, covering her hand with yours. You cleanse her Soul Gem, drawing forth wisps of Grief to condense into a little marble. Enough for you to work with, and so you just... push your magic into Mami's ribbon.

"I- yeah, I'm alright, it's just-" Mami shakes her head, blushing. "It's very- hard to ignore. It's a sensation of you, just- crowding out everything."

"Ah... OK," you say, frowning. You'll make this quick, then - you send your Grief marble gliding along the ribbon, sailing out of the window. Mami kept her ribbon to patches of shadow beside the pavement to avoid notice, and you do the same.

The marble slides along the ribbon, making contact - and it reaches the end of the ribbon. More than a hundred meters away from you.
Sabrina really needs to try to be a little more gentle when she's doing that....


We should check and make sure that this isn't making Mami uncomfortable. If she's okay with continuing, then we should see how far from the other end of the ribbon we can reach.
 
Alright. Before we end the ribbon experiment we should at least try to see if we can control grief in the vicinity around the ribbon or if it has to be touching. If it fails on the first try we should specifically focus on pushing our magic out of the ribbons in an aura around them and try a second time.
 
So do we have any ideas for taking some of the load off Mami for future experiments? So far the only one I can think of is using Sayaka ribbons at the same time to see if that reduces the effect.

Though I did just get an idea. If our soul is so metaphysically close to Mami, can we sense and manipulate grief from around her gem when she's out of our range? Can she send ribbons out of our gem?

You giggle, and squirm about on her shoulder so you can pull one of her hair drills around you like a giant, flaxen scarf. "That's perfectly fine."

Mami relaxes into your hug, tucking her head against your shoulder. "We should continue cooking."

"Mmm," you say, tightening your hug. You hop off your shoulder and onto the kitchen counter, striding across it and leaning over so you can root around the top drawer for cutlery. "Hug first."
I think that's Mami's shoulder Sabrina was sitting on.

"I'm glad you enjoy it!" you say neutrally, hopping up to a chair, and then the table to set the plates out. You better not have unleashed a plague of Kazumis upon the world by accident. If you have, you're gonna go and give Oriko a good shaking for not warning you about it. In specific terms. 'A plague of Kazumis.'
Yes, this would be terrible. Unleasing the Kazumipocalypse by accident would be terrible.

Unless we claim credit and say it was on purpose. Then it's OK!
 
Idle thought, but maybe have Kazumi try to copy the enchantment booster?

If she can make fully functional copies of the grief clones that aren't grief-y, she might be able to do the same with Sabrina's other constructs.

And if she can, we'll have to test if they fall apart if they get too far away from her; if they don't then that opens up possibilities.
 
[] Restrained giddiness. Check if you can control Grief without it touching the Ribbon.
-[] Either way, finish the experiment. Check if Mami's OK.
-[] Talk about what you could do together with this. To put it roughly, you could cleanse all Grief on Earth if you both put your mind into it.
-[] Ask about the possibility of replicating the Ribbon with enchantment, so as to not... distract Mami.

[] Witch hunt!
- [] Vote in abeyance

[] After the hunt
- [] Ask if you could join the homework session?


We get to visit the Yakuza main household?! :V

We should have Kazumi and Sayaka copy things once we can get them both at once.

The Privacy Field is an important one.
 
Kazumi copies effects.

I'm pretty sure she partly copied Sabrina's multitasking, in so far as it relates to making a Chibi.

But that's the beautiful thing. By making multiple Chibis, she's partly copying Sabrina's multitasking multiple times. So she can make as many Chibis as she goddamn wants. Probably more than we could control. :D

This. It's not entirely clear if it's painful or just sensationally overwhelming - one means we immediately stop all testing, the other means we take it slow and only when Mami's okay with it, and hopefully we're able to get her used to it enough that we can do it more regularly without any significant discomfort for her.

Because it is remarkably useful, but Mami is more important to us than saving the world.
 
We should probably demonstrate our grief utility fog whilst on this hunt so that we can start having it deployed 24/7 at least while we're not meeting anyone new.
 
[] Let go of the marble momentarily and try to seize control of it again.

Natural test, whether we can grab grief with this.

[] See if Mami can push magic into a grief marble

Tit for tat?

[] Ask Kazumi to pop down to the end of the ribbon -- test whether you can cleanse her.

I'd suggest one but not multiple of the above before we leave, nya~!

... Wait, wait.

Here's what I really want.

[] Ask Mami to push some magic into the ribbon at the same time you are. Maybe diluting it will help? Aim for a mixture, not a war, with your intent.
