It would surprise me if that hadn't already been tried against her, and the girls who tried ended up as her shades. Given how Rionna talks about making examples, and Nadia's original reaction to her, she's probably widely feared, at least in Western Europe. That's the kind of thing that ultimately leads to people joining up to attack what they're afraid of, at some point or another.

On the other hand if her misdeeds were that widely known I don't think Nadia would have given her a good review.

My read on this is that Sayaka, at worst, copies souls. She doesn't kill people to do it.

And if it turns out that those power gems are aware and sophont, or capable of becoming such, then we can figure out how to deal with them like people when we learn that for certain... or even just when we start getting evidence in favor of that hypothesis.

Considering how Sabrina could read Oktavia's name inside the gems I believe the gems are Sayaka's equivalent to familiars.

I wildly guess she has a soulsight and can spot hostility

I think it really becomes a quick draw duel

Whoever magically oneshot the others gem wins.

And she thinks all bad MGs are pokemon, got catchen all for the collection!
 
[] Ask her why she's like this. She doesn't need to maintain her power. You're building a safe place, you already have refugees, she could just let go and never have to fight again. That's the promise you're making. She could start a brewery. She could write poetry. Or she could help you work on de-witching, doing it right , helping to end the cycles of violence that she's only been able to perpetuate and justify. This is everything she wants. Why isn't she taking it?
 
It was not our place to ask this of her

Especially given that we literally just met her

Half of you guys are jumping the gun so early that the other runners are still settling into their blocks

Anyway, this could be refined, but ut works as a preliminary:

[X] Are you interested in curing witches or not?
-[X] If yes, tentatively agree to work together for that one day and adjourn to update your friends on the situation.
-[X] If not, 'I think we've talked enough for the day, and I need to confer with the rest of my team anyway. You have permission to remain in Mitakihara until your return flight, but if you reap any souls I will fucking shatter you. Feel free to contact me again if you actually want to do business.'

"Well, I was wondering - Riona Mag Aoidh... hang on, 'Mag Aoidh' is her surname, right?" You continue at her nod. "Riona. Is she feared because she's powerful, or because she's powerful and mean? There's a difference, after all."

"Powerful. She's..."

Nadia told us Rion(n)a isn't mean.
 
I wonder if Sayaka could copy her powers from inside a Time Stop? That way, if we do decide to kill her, we'd still access to her Soul Magic for our de-witching efforts.

Then do that! Just come right out and say "I was hoping to work with you on dewitching." You've been beating around the bush for three updates now, just rip off the fucking band-aid.

[] Reaction: Disappointment.

[] Clearly state your motives: You want reverse Witching, free Magical Girls from needing Grief Seeds and territory, and help everyone.
-[] And you can.
[] Cleanse yourself. Offer cleansing.
[] Ask Riona what her motives are, and why is she seems so keen on going back home empty handed.

[] Hidden: Use Grief to communicate with Mami.
-[] Ask her to contact Nadia and ask for tips on how to handle a hardball playing Riona.
-[] Create a signal for her and Homura in case things go south.

Four or five.

No, the thing they share is that their powers have upkeep. :p

4-5 marbles per hour, she needs to maintain her shades.

A typical cleanse from a grief seed is about 2-3 marbles. A grief seed has 1-5 cleanses.

A typical magical girl needs about one grief seed every week or two.

She needs 40 to 400 grief seeds per week.

That is NOT sustainable from "holding a city".

She's putting those grief controllers powers to the same use as their original owners.

"You do your Reaper impersonation on my turf, and I stuff you in the fridge. I have friends with a very nice basement." :V
 
I think we should just nuke the sphere now.

Draft:

[] Simultaneously:
-[] Armor up
-[] Nuke the sphere
-[] Signal Mami and Homura for timestop
 
I feel Riona is a person of power. Self defined by her power.

The fact she becomes threatening when the possibility of losing power is brought up, makes sense.

Don't bite the obvious bait.

Keep talking.

It may be that you're vastly underestimating how bad many magical girls are. Riona at least pays lip service to only targeting "bad" people. It sounds like many MGs have gone full-on Lord of the Flies and have no hesitation whatsoever in taking what they want from whomever doesn't have the power to stop them. You think shades are bad?

Finding out about literal MG slaving rings with flesh-and-blood slaves would not surprise me. It's all about the standard of comparison Nadia is using.

It could be that Rionna's standard Grief generation is less, and she's stressed out of her mind right now, for whatever reason.

Alternatively, the fact that her shades are semi-autonomous could allow her to send them on witch hunts by themselves; thereby, Riona can get more grief seeds out of her territory.

Then again, I'm just spitballing, here.

Even at the lowest bound for get cleansing requirements, she'd need to control an area like "all of Tokyo" or "Northern Ireland" to be hunting normally.

We'd have to isolate her soul gem from her body first*, but then we'd have to account for the possibility of Riona's soud being able to operate without a body.

*so Riona's body is timestopped while her soul isn't

This was a test

And we failed

The test was made by Sabrina, and Riona failed it.
