"Ah, well, bed and suspended transport are very closely related, and they're more of a spectrum of the sediment mass - the heaviest ones will... roll across the bottom of the river, pushed by the current, whereas the suspended load consists of particulates small enough to float in the current."
That's their geography test?!
I shudder to think what they study in Physics class.
"Let's see the most elementary applications of the abovementioned principle, such as, say, a hypothetical ideal tetrahedron moving at the speed approaching the third cosmic velocity, one of its sides parallel to the solar system's plane..."
Which does suggest the idea of Witching out Homur-
... I don't even.
Whose bright idea
How in the blue fuck across the moon
Didn't you have enough when someone suggested blackmailing Oriko
What the
Ugh.
Also English, German, Italian, Russian, several dialects of Hindi, Klingon, Witch, Cockney...
For a full list, contact your local Incubator. Sabrina Inc. doesn't take any responsibility for an accidental or intentional separation of Soul should you follow through with this course of action.
Yeah, I've seen the full list somewhere in the thread. So?
"You are," she agrees. "I... yes. You are."
But will you stay?
Mumi.
I think Mami's thought process involves logical ( if probably incorrect) conclusions that if Sabrina speaks a lot of languages, then she must've travelled a lot. Who's to say Japan wasn't just a brief stop for Sabrina on her way somewhere else?
Well, us, but fortunately, Mami doesn't hear voices in her head.
One of Kyouko for Sayaka? Not that they've even met yet.
Such trivialities do not concern true believers.
Some people ship characters across the different franchises, for God's sake.
Finally, you come to a halt, pulling into a lazy hover nearly a kilometer away from where you'd started. You've gotten all you can, you think - if any escaped, they're well away by now. Tsk.
This'll come back and bite us in our collective ass, right? Of course it will, why do I even ask.
Eh, who needs dignity, anyway.
I knew one guy, he always said he had dignity. I think he was lying.
You've already eaten, and while puella magi... probably can't get fat, Kyouko being all the proof you'll ever need,
That raises an interesting question: do meguca even need to eat? Probably yes. Let's not be the one to test it out.
If you ever wondered about how I thought I could do PMAS: Run Away to the US Edition...
Well, that'd mean we'll leave a mighty mess in our wake, and unless Homura is incapacitated, she's still going to reset the timeline. Or is she traveling through alternate universes? The show was never really clear on that. Because, fuck you, saying "karmic destiny" with a clever face enables me to do whatever the fuck I want! I'm the anime Michael Bay, bitchez, I'm the Slayer of your hopes and dreams, the Murderer of Megucas, the one and only!..
Urobutcher!
Sorry, I'll see myself out.:lol
Rage, rage against the dying of the light and all.
Well, it could be a Dylan Thomas' quote. But I think we all know what at least fifty percent of forum lurkers thought instead.
I'll give you a hint.
Link the Flame.
( honestly, it sounds a little ridiculous. Maybe Japanese version conveys a profound meaning using alternative readings of Kanji and shit. But I digress. )
Nihilism is usually countered by its ideological counterpart. "If the life has no meaning, then I can give it whichever the meaning I want to."
I don't know how you counter Fatalism, though.
"Except..." You sigh again. "Ugh, I'm doing it again. I just want you and Kirika to be alive and happy. Except I went about it entirely the wrong way, and I've been pretty inconsiderate."
"Looks longingly at the tinfoil hat, sighs, and puts on glasses with a very thick frame, instead. Starts talking with a heavy Austrian accent."
Your mere existence is, from a certain point of view, an imposition of will upon others. That is true for everyone. Talking to them is just another way this imposition is reflected upon the real world, and more first year philosophical drivel. Girl, you have serious control issues. Only, funny as it is, you perceive yourself as the authority. The protagonist, let's say.
May I present you this fine specimen, ailed by what, in a psychological layman's terms, would be described as the "Emiya Complex". Very widespread in a group of people with certain inclinations.
"Is there... what was it?" Kirika asks. "Is it anything I can do?"
Mm. Can you kiss yourself and cuddle and stuff?
Cause if not, then sorry, nope.
"Cool," she says, stepping back. The manic intensity dissolves like a storm breaking, melting into a smile. "So, what did you want to ask Oriko?"
She switches gears faster than a fashion enthusiast switches designer bags.
"Uh," you say. You can't deny the fact that the thought has crossed your mind. Numerous times, in point of fact. You've even considered offering it up as... recompense for Oriko burning down Sayaka's house.
That's what twenty days without an update does to people. Not that I'm complaining. Sure as hell fun to watch.
Considering that there's been tangible evidence of memory lapses in your friends, namely Sayaka herself... you do have to wonder about enemy action, as it were.
If this whole thing turns out to be a reality war between Momokami and Momucifer, I'm going to be pissed.
"Do we have an, um, a working agenda?"
An abused eleven year old knows what a "working agenda" is.
... Maybe PMMM Japanese education is just that good.
Maybe someone wished to increase its quality or something.
Mami and Kyouko's conflict, Asunaro... things on the plate that need to be resolved. Hopefully soon, and hopefully more easily. A confluence of factors... well. Then again, World War One was a confluence of factors too, and look at how that turned out.
What? I thing it ended well.
Next time you'll tell me that communism isn't the best thing in the world.
"The... errand I mentioned," she says. "I will be hacking the local meteorological agency mainframe."
Agh, fuck, what do they teach kids in this school?!
Deep breaths, she's in the loop, she's had enough time to learn it herself, even running around and trying to defeat the unbeatable Witch and save Madoka from contracting, yeah right, of course she could've learned hacking, silly me.
Homura glances away. "I... commissioned instructions from Inoue Yuuki in Ishinomaki a... while ago," she says. "It's not really hacking."
Ah. Should've read on. Raised my blood pressure for nothing.
You huff. "Conversation, Homura," you say. "I want to talk to my friend."
Homura is so emotionally stumped it's not even funny anymore. Not that it was funny.
On the plus side, it's probably the only reason she hasn't despaired yet. So there is that.
Hah, dancing. Would you have a transformation dance? Probably some kind of janky robot dance, really. Just the right blend of westaboo-ism in there, really, and probably just right for Mami to sigh at you in exasperation. So just perfect, then.
:lol
... file that as plan, uh, plan D, you guess.
English alphabet has more letters than that. Don't be shy.
Moemura's still in there somewhere.
Yeah. Decades under trauma of repeating the same month over and over just to watch Madoka die. Jokes aside, we
really need to get her to therapist somehow. After all this is over. I guess, if someone knowledgeable joins the thread by the time, we could be the therapist. Doesn't really matter. It's only in those old Japanese RPGs people resolve emotional traumas by deciding to carry on and bring justice and freedom to everyone. Maybe, maybe sometimes their friends say something helpful to them.
I thought Shinji fucking Ikari had problems. Well, let's put it that way: Homura isn't insane only because she can't afford to. That, and she has balls of steel that wouldn't look out of place in a game of water polo. Now, there's an image...
Homura shrugs again, black hair rippling over her shoulders.
Homura conditioned herself not to give fucks. She takes them, instead. Something about an anti-fucks giving black hole I've read somewhere in SV. Or was it SB?
Hmm. If you swear by Madokami, would that count as heresy? You are insulting her consort sort-of-but-not-really.
I see it now. We have parental issues, everyone! Very funny parental issues.
