Oh, good thinking. We're already wearing the Grief Ring on our pinky, the tattoo would complete the Yakuza look.

[Q] Get that tattoo, stat!

Do you want the Shizukis to realize we're the ones who stole that gold and cash and then send hit men after us?

More before going to sleep rambling.
"Oh no. Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal."

"Inevitable? You were expecting me, of all people, to betray you?

"The stupidly nice dork's got a point."

"..."

"Elementary, my dear Sayaka. For you see, it is well known Sabrina has an obsessive need to share hugs with everyone she could conceivably think of as a potential friend..."

"That's kind of exaggerated, but rich girl's got a point."

"And with that in mind, the fact I have known Sabrina as long as you have, becomes... curious."

"That... it makes sense!

"Indeed it does. The truth is Sabrina has never tried to hug me because she can't conceive of me as a friend! In fact, she's been considering me her enemy the whole time! Isn't that right, Sab-"


"I'm sorryyyyyyyy!"

*HUGS HITOMI*

"Eek- I mean! Sabrina-!"

"How could I have gone so long without giving you a hug?! This is terrible, and I must rectify this right now!"

"That means she's gonna hug you until she gets distracted by something shiny."

"You're next."

*Tries to wiggle out of hug to no avail*

"For the record, I did not say 'eek'.

"For the record, I would totally hug my worst enemy."

"She would."

"That sounds... dangerous?"

"You would think so, but it was actually the last nudge we needed to actually turn good."

"I almost fillet you, Sabrina!"

"That's nice, Kirika."

"..."

"... The 'almost' part, not the 'fillet me' part."

*Sigh*

"You people are impossible. Mami, you mentioned a need for something shiny in order to escape this hug trap?"

"Allow me."

*Smiles*

*Catches Sabrina in a spinning hug*

*Brain catches up to the fact Sabrina's all the way over there hugging Mami and not all the way over here hugging her*

"Magic is scary. I think I will retire for the night. I've got..."

*Obliviously staring into Mami's eyes*

"Midnight... tea ceremony kung fu training. I'm learning to serve tea like a proper lady without being seen serving tea, while playing the violin and singing in duet. With myself."

*Obliviously staring into Sabrina's eyes*

"They're really not paying attention anymore, are they?"

"You wouldn't believe it."

*Leaves*

"... Wait, what did she mean, 'you people'?!"

*Grabs Kirika's chin and turns her head to look into her eyes*

*Obliviously stares into Oriko's eyes*

*Looks at couples placidly and longingly staring into each others eyes, completely immobile and unaware of their surroundings*

*Shudders*

"Yeah, I... totally could be a ninja maid, too... Hitomi wait for me!"

*Runs away*
 
....I think that outfit is super cool. Great for casual arcade date with Mami, maybe even for trip to Tokyo.

And its not exactly a tattoo, more like a sticker. All ganguro/visual-kei style or whatever.
 

The Plum theme is a good catch, we will have to bring that back at some point... Very traditional. While also being very Mami. Not feeling a hankering for tattoos, TBH. But if the occasion demands cosplay, worse things could happen.

As far as the outfit, the general acceptability is there, but not my preconception. It sends out too much of the disheveled vibe.
In Sabrina's Magical Girl outfit, she demonstrates a willingness to look competent and sharp. The outfit would work, but only for a short while IMHO.
Thanks for asking everyone, @cmwatford . I look forward to more.

But if teleportation is possible, wouldn't it be faster to load everyone into the massive building that they sheltered in during the Walpurgisnacht fight in canon, and then teleport everyone to safety? They're already going there anyway, we don't even need to do anything to get them there. And I assume that teleportation would be faster than the subway unless she can only teleport a couple people at a time.

The folks must arrive at the shelter to get teleported if she claims the shelter, of course. I am trying to allow for breaking that limit if our timing goes FUBAR. People approach and enter the building on foot. I think many more people per hour will be able to ride across a station inside the cars, under power. Not inconsequentially, our range of teleport evacuation expands if the rails or buses are the unit of teleportation. We might have to move population from additional areas in the worst types of fighting. This is how to hybridize with muggle infrastructure to make our magic do more.

The other route would be to entice the geokinetic girl to come by and mod our shelters for direct impact resistance and remote exit to account for collapse. Nobody will understand why the there are so many flights of stairs going down to the shelter, but when they survive I doubt they will make a fuss over it.
 
As far as evacuating people goes... Maybe we can find a Sensor meguca. Someone who could, with enough cleansing and power boosting, monitor all of Mitakihara and help point out where there's still people who haven't evacuated before Walpnight.

When in trouble, magic. :p
 
Okay, so I occasionally run over the "Who is Feathers" possibilities, and this time something hit me. Given that a few searches don't show this particular thought popping up anywhere before...

Okay, so we're all familiar with Alt!Sabrina's wish to fix everything. It's why we're so wary of antimatter and other high energy physics projects.

Well, it occurs to me that, last timeline, Madoka also wished to fix everything.

Sure, the wording was a little different, and the character of Madoka is a bit different than, at least, who we've since become and she's less of a science nerd. But the knowledge underlying and intent behind the wish would have been largely the same. "All these, girls and witches and lost people. This should be fixed."

And while Sabrina's strange potential was able to get her five meters of reality warping, Madoka's potential outweighed the universe, and is greater still.

Combine all that and it seems to me that exact kind of long range reality warping matches up pretty well to the events of Our Benefactor.

The motivations are easy to grasp too: Sayaka being witch-kissed there ended up compelling her to contract later that night. It's a point that never quite jived with Homulilly or Homucifer, and I have a hard time seeing Dedolere being that indirect but someone who knew Sayaka much better? Could well have predicted how she'd react to that.

There's a witch-y sort of logic to it too: "I'm going to hurt you to put you on this path for your own good." Fitting for one who might once have forcibly pulled humanity into Heaven.

(And while I don't see a causal chain of events, Sayaka does have a very similar power set to one she "should" only gain from Madoka's divine blessing. It's interestingly thematic if nothing else.)



Further points can be raised here: What if the Madokami we saw at the beginning wasn't the Madokami of the Law of Cycles, but the Madoka of last timeline?

"How?" is certainly a question, but an approachable one: What happened in the last timeline after Madoka wished? Was she touching Homura when the latter reset? Is there something else entirely that Homura might remember?

(And Madoka's also has enough vague memories about us, in her trust and also feelings of responsibility towards us, that asking her could well be an option, if we could figure out how. In Sayaka's case, it may be worth asking her if she can recover her memories from the witch kiss period. I think I remember one of the meguca we met mentioning working with amnesia.)



If true, this development also has potentialbomb implications, and might go towards explaining why our plans were wrong: We saw how Homura reacted to just learning about Madoka dreaming about her, now imagine some of her actual magic and grief was carried along with that.

If Kyuubey figured out Feathers and Homura's time travel both? It could explain the why his words would be so much worse. This isn't even just the Law of Cycles (Who, though nonexistant, is relatively happy and hopeful that she will one day return) it's a version of Madoka without that categorical immunity to taint who, by all appearances, will one day fall to it and may even have infected the current Madoka because of Homura's failure.



And then there's Firn's comments on the "wish to fix everything" semi-canon omake itself. The obvious interpretation to the invisitext is the aforereferenced "don't blow yourself up..."

Things as they could have been, had you wished to have the ability to fix things.
This is also a warning.
You'd've gotten what was basically localized reality warping in a 5 meter radius, with the limitation that the more magical something is, the harder it is to affect. And had you been a little careless with your power... Well, I'd had this written up in anticipation.

-snip-
I had more than a few meta and in story reasons to have done this... Some of them still apply, even.

But Firn explicitly noted there below that he had many reasons for making it, and multiple of them still applied.

So... yeah. To end it all on a properly ominous note,

This is also a warning.

A warning for what @Firnagzen?
