Isn't that what children are for? It's what I use mine for.
Might be a typo, might be Hijiri listening into the conversation, might be a slip...
An accident on my part. I refer to her mentally as Anri, sooo...@Firnagzen, could you please address whether it was intentional or an accident on your part to have Hijiri refer to Yuuri as Anri?
I am sorry. Is... is Sabrina quoting Ravel? I know it's five thousand pages of angry people arguing about how to make PMMM-verse less of a fuck-up ago ( and no, as Rebellion shows, making Madoka contract still doesn't solve this conclusively, I don't know why I'm typing this, someone, make me stahp!.. Ugh. Better. ), but I just can't let that lie.
Since we're at this point...
You never had to go this far.
Death, of herself or Kirika, holds zero fear for Oriko.
Witching? Terrifies the everliving fuck out of her.
Why, I'm not telling yet.
The fact that threatening to kill her didn't work after the first four or five times... And her single real slip was to the idea of Kirika Witching...
The reckoning will not be postponed indefinitely.
When Akemi Murderface Homura is only the third most obsessive person in a room, there is something fundamentally, profoundly wrong with the situation. I can hear her thinking: "Wow, and I thought my emotional dependency on Madoka is crippling. Would you look at that.""Right, then..." you say, turning to go. Oriko helps Kirika onto her crutches, and the four of you return to the living room, Oriko sitting on one end of the large sofa with Kirika cuddled into her side, Mami cuddled anxiously into yours, and Homura surveying all of you with tired eyes.

Also. Why do people call mass-murder-suicide "Tetris"?
Well. This is another moment I'd want to address. You do realize that you could break her by extrapolating, that if Oriko dies, then Kiriko witches out, and then refuse to kill her before she does, right?
Still morally ambiguous, but at least not to the point of reaching Moral Event Horizon with what previously was a stalwart example of All-Loving Hero. And that's me being lazy here, I'm sure that if we ( not sure why I use "we", I wasn't around back then, so read it as "you" ) had worked really hard, there would have been found some other handles in Oriko somewhere.
Threatening to maim the soul of Oriko's girlfriend. How the fuck, SV, I don't even. Seriously, I've seen one person just drop the quest after this.
... I'll delete all of this shit if it becomes irrelevant in the course of my reading through the thread, but I doubt it.
Yeah, I've decided to leave it as it is. On the grounds of being a cautionary tale. If it were to happen in Moid's quest, he'd be drinking your tears. With a fucking straw. Right from your eyes. Straws in your tear ducts, you hear me?
Oh. Just read about Mami finding out.
Fuck.
Five-seven years of Mami's self-worth down the drain in fifteen minutes. Firnagzen, you magnificent bastard, you. Last time I was so sad, I'd been reading a fanfic about Asuka lying in a mental ward with a doll who she called, well, "Asuka". This... dependency, this beseaching for approval in almost every action, this desperate need, anything to fill the void inside, even with the one who hurt you, who lied to you, who made you lose your only other close friend. So heavy. So fucked-up. So beautiful. It was this moment when I realized that with Sabrina around, a magical girl can go insane before she witches out.
Hmm. I guess this one should've gone in story-only thread. Oh well.
The reckoning will not be postponed indefinitely.
Ah. This is getting rather unwieldy. Let's hide this wall of text behind the spoiler tag.
Moving on.
Did you know that apparently, aside from being a modernized form of Princess of Sheba, Sabrina means absolutely nothing? So, I guess it's more of a reference to a famous witch, huh? Well, there's some wiki nonsense about "Sabrina" meaning "boundary". I guess that's because of a river? I dunno.
I suppose Dedolare carries enough meaning on its own.

... I should stop. Don't wanna cause an aneurysm by the sheer lengthy and inanity of this snip in someone who for some reason actually decides to open it.
Anyway. I'll be joining in your collective on this merry safari across the suffering and torment that is PMMM. I'll try not to be an obnoxious prick, listen to others, be polite, yadda yadda. Yeah, I know I kinda blew it up with this first post. Sorry about that, I promise I'll do better next time. Don't mind me, I'll just hide my comments like I did here, until I finish coursing through 650k words. Then I'll try to contribute something useful. Oh God.
Should take me five days to a week or so. Luckily, today's my free day... and it's 4 a.m. Right. Yesterday was my free day.
Fuck.
This is why:
Yeah. I've thought about that.Wait.
Are you actually going through the main thread?
You poor naive bastard.
But seriously, welcome to PMAS. One of the few places where you can find severe mental trauma, diabetes inducing fluff, philosophical debates on the nature of destiny, high energy particle physics, and shitposting, all in the same place. Here's hoping you make it.
Also, there's a link to the story only thread on the first page, I believe. That should take much less time to read.
Or we could have threatened to witch Oriko instead of Kirika, which would have terrified Oriko more than enough, too, but not as badly.Well. This is another moment I'd want to address. You do realize that you could break her by extrapolating, that if Oriko dies, then Kiriko witches out, and then refuse to kill her before she does, right?
Have some more confusion.Ah. So that's why. This explains everything!
What the fuck did I just watch.:lol

I'm afraid that the allusion behind Sabrina's name is much more recent and less mythological then you might have hoped.
Um, yeah?
We had a giant flame war several months ago because everyone was too focused on minutiae. Firn pretty much told us to stop doing mega votes, and implemented a word count limit to curb that, and instead focus on intents and goals and let BrinaPilot handle the rest.Why the sudden bandwagon rush towards shorter votes and intention-focused votes? I thought thats what put us in this current mess of an update, because Firn didn't entirely realize to do the multitasking we wanted (he said as much, and said that we totally can do the full force crazy of simultaneous conversations and all if we're more explicit about it) and because BrinaPilot just stood there in a blank daze watching after the inability to telepathy Anri threw us off track. Lack of contingencies if nothing else.

Why proudly declare being one-third the wordcount for its own sake, when it means dropping entire actions (let alone important specifics and quotes). @Redshirt Army I'm not sure if I've seen you yet address the concern about sending backup to Kirika and Oriko, even to say why you keep not wanting to include it.
I won't admit to know Redshirt's reasoning, but you may have noticed people got pretty salty trying to figure out what the correct response was to this situation, even within 150 words. To the point people got temp-banned. Which was what the word limit was trying to prevent.Theres a pretty wide difference between some of say Vebyast's mega-votes , and RedShirt's super-mini-vote. I was asking why the cut from the usual 150 wordcount limit to this recent one going more for 50 while removing even the level of detail its 150ish rivals had.
Not to mention, sometimes QMs tell you not to do contingencies... and then admit (or you can see) the lack of one caused an unwanted result. Or am I wrong about multi-tasking and what to do after telepathy wasn't an option?
