Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Reader mode
So, voting is open now? I can do this?

[X] we should have the "take care of yourself more" talk with Kazumi.
-[X] we can tell her she was way too close to over-griefing
-[X] we can cite our precog or our own Grief manipulation skills for how we know this
-[X] key point: your people depend on you, Kazumi, and if you fall it will hurt them badly
-[X] do it in timestop because Homura could use a reminder of this too

I really don't think Sayaka is any sort of angel, but this can't hurt:
[X] drop hints back at Sayaka about her being an angel
-[X] "Walking Madoka home? You can be her guardian angel for the evening!"
 
So... We have time for one more thing (if it's short). I guess making a privacy bubble for Sayaka and Kazumi to copy would take too long? (How long does it take? 5-7 minutes?)

[ ] Hug your friends goodbye. The ones that aren't coming with you, that is.
[ ] Telepathy: Ask Homura if she'd ever lend you her power for magic practice. Schedule a session if so.
[ ] When you get back, ask Mami if there was anything in your old clothes, and check the clothes for anything weird.

Sabrina gasps.

"What is it?" asks Mami sharply.

"These clothes..." whispers the white haired girl, holding the shirt with reverence.

"Is there something... wrong with them?"

"They're my perfect size!" exclaims Sabrina.

"... So?" blinks Mami.

"That means it was probably mom who had them tailor-made for me," nods Sabrina, "because she would, unlike mom, who would rather go clothes shopping, in which case she'd have picked these out of a rack. No, it was definitely mom who bought me these."

Mami opens her mouth as if to ask something. She looks at Sabrina's wistful smile for a moment.

"You'll stay with me, no matter what, right?" she asks, a very slight quiver in her voice.

The taller girl looks up from where she's hugging the pants to her chest. "Of course!"

Mami nods, and walks to hug Sabrina from behind.

Kazumi, Kaoru and Umika look at each other, shrug, then back away from the corner they were peeking around from.

Apparently, that was normal. Figures Sabrina would hug a pair of pants.

Should we ask Homu for that timestop session right now, or later? Is there a reason to not ask for it right now?

[ ] Telepathy Homura to talk in private.

I mean, we did ask her earlier today for a private chat.

[ ] Telepathy Homura to talk in private.
-[ ] Once in timestop, ask if she'd mind letting you practice enchantment in timestop. If so, practice. Try to enchant something with your Control magic, and let Homura try the enchantment.
-[ ] Ask Homura if she thought about what she asked you back during that Yakuza raid. About happiness.
-[ ] After enchantment practice is done, ask Homura what she'd think of sending O&K somewhere else. Like sending them to Asunaro and asking the Pleiades to look after them.

"We can continue our homework later," Mami says with a nod. "No time like the present... admittedly, there is no time at the present."

You can't help the snicker, grinning sidelong at Homura.

[Q] Tell Mami to not encourage you.

Firnagzen said:
"Ah," Hitomi says, pursing her lips. She shrugs daintily after a moment of thought. "Is that all?"

"... what do you mean, 'is that all'?" you splutter.

"What am I supposed to say to that revelation?" Hitomi says with another shrug. "You're too earnest to lie to us, and you're too you to be malicious. And... Madoka, Homura, and Mami already know, I presume, and we're all still here."

Mami giggles, leaning against you.

[Q] Yeah Mami, you're laughing now.

Firnagzen said:
"Places, everybody," Mami says, smiling and lying down next to you, as she was before. "Otherwise it'll be rather strange."

"Uhh," Sayaka says, trying to arrange herself properly. "OK."

Homura sighs, looking put upon, but stands and walks over to nudge Sayaka's pose.

Isn't this precious? Homura just... poking Sayaka to get her into the right pose? :V

We didn't, actually. Firn vetoed that part of the vote since we were already overdue on the private chat with Sayaka instead.

Earlier. Way earlier, I'm pretty sure we asked.

EDIT: I might be wrong, but I think we did...

[] Make some sparkles. :D
[] Ask if she'd mind if you pointed some magical girls in her direction. A job might be good for some of them.

I'd be good with hanging out with Homu and doing some SCIENCE with her.

If we're doing that, though, there's something else we should check on:

[] Ask Homura if she's done any enchanting. Does she know her "native" enchantment?
-[] If not, maybe she can try it while you're doing science? Most of your hypotheses would be pretty sweet - defensive stuff, time-stop stuff, spidey-sense, madoka-dar, etc. And it's good meditation.
 
Maybe we asked Homu for a chat and had that chat, and it was the one where we told her about Mom Theory. :V

We totally should ask her if she ever tried making a Madoka-dar. It totally fits her Wish.
 
OK, so, this is all I can find about having asked Homura for some sort of meeting:

Firnagzen said:
"Is there anything else?" she asks, reaching for the rim of her shield.

"Well... get back to me with a time for that shopping trip, and that science session, yeah?" you say, smiling at her. "And hey. Homura? If you ever have any issues, I'm always happy to talk or be a shoulder to lean on. Or even if you just want to hang out, I'd love to."

The Yakuza shopping trip we asked that very conversation, and the 'science session' might be related to the 'letting enough Grief out of range' experiment.

We're still waiting on that.
 
[X] Ask Mrs. Shizuki what her family business is, for the purposes of thinking ways to apply your magic to it.
-[X] And thinking about employing magical girls, remind her that most of them are minors.

[X] Telepathy Homura. Ask to borrow her powers.
-[X] Once in, ask for timestop enchantment practice. Now or whenever.

[X] If timestop practice now:
-[X] Try making a Control Enchantment. Have Homura try it if you succeed.
-[X] Ask Homura to try finding her own native enchantment. Madokadar?
-[X] Ask Homura if she thought more about being happy. If anyone, she deserves it.
-[X] Tell Homura about the idea of sending O&K to Asunaro, and having the Pleiades watch over them.

[X] Else:
-[X] Goodbyes with hugs.
-[X] When you get back, ask Mami about your old clothes, and check them for anything weird.

So... we need to ask Homu for a timestop SCIENCE! time, for enchantment.

And somehow get her (and Sayaka) to release O&K.

And follow up on that time she asked us how we are so happy all the time.

And do the experiment about releasing lots of Grief at the same time, which we asked her about ages ago.

And probably more stuff I'm forgetting.

The part about releasing O&K is the most difficult one... Maybe we can schedule some timestop SCIENCE! with her, and ask if she'd like the idea of sending O&K to Asunaro?

As I've brought up before, the best way to make progress on the O&K matter is to create a lie detector Grief construct, and prove that it works to Homura, and then bring her along with us while we question O&K thoroughly. That will remove Homura's rational basis for her fears about O&K, which should allow for some progress. Especially if we confirm via lie detector that her precognition no longer works.

Again, instead of bringing up sending O&K to Asunaro, we should be making a Grief construct lie detector, and proving to Homura that it works. Then, some time in the next couple of days, we can bring Homura along while we question them enough to satisfy her that they aren't a threat.
 
Shouldn't we discuss our issues regarding finding housing for homeless meguca with the Shizukis? We're going to need someone to act as a go between to rent any kind of property.

It might be worth letting Sayaka & Homura take Madoka home while we talk business with Hitomom.

I really don't like the idea of sending O&K away. Oriko seems to think that being away from Sabrina is what will let Feathers gank her.

One Lie Detector session will be wholly insufficient to satisfy/ease Homura's near-decade long build up of trauma and paranoia re: Oriko and Kirika, imo.

Then Sayaka copied Homura's powers, progressing another step along her nefarious path of nefariousness.

Why not wait until after we've informed Hitodad, then ask them together?

Sadly, Hitomi's father is apparently still busy. You can hear vaguely angry tones coming through the wall.
Mrs Shizuki notices your concerned look, it seems. "The company is having trouble with a client," she notes. "Nothing to worry about."

Clearly a Yakuza. His "client" is asking after the gold he had stored with them, or the weapons he wanted to buy. Or its his boss doing the same :p

So she was momentarily confused by the idea of her having healing powers. Evidence against the "Sayaka is an Angel" theory. :V
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

Or evidence for it! After all, with all the important timey-wimey work of being an angel and all the busy events of rebellion or whatever (I'm shaky on what Sayaka-angel duties involve actually :p) , its hard remembering one specific timeline in her relative past.

Alternately, the pause and realization was either one of normal-Sayaka or angel-Sayaka considering the implications of
1. "I know what happens when you wish for healing magic"
2. Sabrina intervened to avoid Sayaka /needing/ to wish for healing magic, why?
3. Healing Magic Wish /went badly?/
And not about pausing to remember that she ever had the powers.

I am not going to vote for any plan that lacks this element, or something very like it <3 Why not after all? Its an amusing throw-away (though, potentially troublesome if we haven't shared our angel-theory with Homura....and I feel like i remember that whole area being a no-no zone on mentioning to Homura).
 
If timestop science happens, we can probably take the time to finally make those speckled enchantments...

I don't like sending them away either, because they're Sabrina's friends, but we need to somehow get the idea of un-arresting O&K into Homura's head.

She's... reluctant, to say the least.

This could actually be good advice for our metabombed friends like Mami or Homura or Sayaka. Our metaknowledge shows that Bitcoin ought to take off in a few years, so investing sooner will mean more profit.

Of course, that assumes Mami, Homura, or Sayaka have any control over more than a pathetic amount of their own finances. Homura's likely dirt poor, Mami could easily not have control over her bank account in favor of a relative, and Sayaka has only her allowance for right now.
