We're helping meguca and then maybe empire building.
Nutshell version:
I think picking up companions would be part of the game? Or students? I even said that two posts back.
You'd aquire a plucky support team as your adventures lead you around the globe. The hacker, the pilot, the business mougle, the ex-mercenaries, the cyber-dog.I think picking up companions would be part of the game? Or students? I even said that two posts back.
Again, I see it as mostly a detective sort of game. Most of the time is spent looking for interesting rumours, following trails, finding new people in new situations, learning about them, getting close to key characters...
You'd find some Obviously Evil cases sometimes, which would come down to a fight, but that shouldn't be a common case.
The most difficult thing about making such a game, I feel, would be creating many, many new situations and characters, because the game would be about getting to know new people in new situations. Most people aren't Obviously Evil, so what do you do when you find confused people in fucked up situations where everybody's trying to get by, and you can't really help anybody? When there isn't a convenient target to cut down and call it a day, everybody cheering for you have vanquished the evulz?
Sometimes? You'd get to just go home, knowing you couldn't do anything to help. And that'd suck.
Sabrina is special. She can go there and solve one of the fundamental underlying issues of meguca. She can set better standards.
Riona (or any other meguca who's out to help), if there's no obvious evil meguca abusing others? I think making good choices would be far more difficult. This is what I find attractive about the idea. Sleuthing, making decisions.
In the end, she's a pawn of KB, just like everybody else.
Er, except, we're not evil, and we almost did. If this is the case, it raises questions of how evil the others were.
Well, that's why I say, maybe Riona's baiting us. Sabrina's power is literally impossible sans Madokami intervention, so by all means, this should be a clear and cut case.
I kind of would want to be the detective. The fighting wouldn't be the main part of the thing I'm trying to describe.
She's a veteran Meguca that appears to be inspired by Mad Eye Moody among others. As well as having a lot in common with a 'path not taken' Sabrina, and a powerset that makes her especially suited to be an equal match as an antagonist.
You changed your name!
Yeah, It's easier to find in various IMEs and keyboards for Android than Matou. I had to type 'Makiri' if I wanted the proper Kanji.
If Riona turns out to be actual necromancer magical girl, I call hax.
To note, Riona's previous witch name was Nephthys, until Firn realized he had already used it, so I doubt the specifics of 'Irkalla' are so closely related to Feathers, unless she happens to share such attributes with Nephthys.

And I'd ask her to accompany us on a trip to Sendai to try and talk to one Kato Setsuko. Also, maybe the Shiogama girls would like to talk with their lost teammate. Also, if that's the case, Riona must be horribly annoyed with anybody who starts asking her to bring up dead people.
I'm... a little doubtful she could get Oriko's Soul a week after Oriko's death. At the very least, that would mean Riona's potential must be fucking high. I'd understand grabbing someone's Soul while they're alive, or while they're dying, but IIRC, going by KB, Souls disperse after death.
To bring a Soul back after that, and not as a one off effect from the wish, but at will, would be... quite some hax.
Hell... if that's true and Riona works with us, that might open a de-Witching branch path in which we smash Grief Seeds and Riona pulls the Souls back.
... Tibdit I just remembered, Niko in PMKM is able to... operate or something on a Seed, and pull out its 'core'/heart, which she dubs 'Cor Maleficus'. I wonder if we should nudge her towards that.
I googled 'Nephthys Ereshkigal' and got:
So what you're saying is that Rionna is also a clone of Niko?
This info is incorrect. The Cor Maleficus was an idea that was proposed by Umika, and rather than it being directly pulled from the Seed, it is the actual heart of a Witch that seems to have been restrained with magic. The purpose of the Cor Maleficus was to use the magic of Witches to keep the clones going rather than the Pleiades needing to constantly feed the clones magic to keep them alive. As for how the Pleiades managed to use the Cor Maleficus for thirteen different clones other than farming for thirteen different Witches, I have no idea.
'So Niko, I've met this girl called Riona-'So what you're saying is that Rionna is also a clone of Niko?
