Sorry, your bizarre aside doesn't work, because roof-hopping involves g-forces that would maim a person even if they were strapped into a crash couch that properly supported every part of their body, because internal effects are still an issue. It's also completely unnecessary, likely to result in someone being pissed off, and immoral to boot. (So, classic SB/SV "Competence" at work.)
An improved discussion as a reply:
Inducting people into the "real" reality is very immoral, in the Incubator frame of reference.
Some people (as defined by their influence, not strictly random) will have to be convinced of our sub-culture if our later plans are to become real, or they might derail some of our goals. What are the options for those who don't want to believe?
Flying around the room IS very Magical - but also lacks independent "truth," such as "the fire department had to unlock the door to let me come down." It is a phenomenon that leaves little permanent evidence, other than a visual memory. Some people are very invested in the worldview they woke up with in the morning, and will resort to mental gymnastics in order to keep it. I want techniques to break through that in a
very short time.
I think Sabrina transforming a pencil into a small diamond would be a fine demonstration of magic under civil conditions. As my initial condition stated, jumping into the skyline would be for a person for whom visual display and material transformations do not provide persuasive evidence. Resistant. (Yes, those people exist - we have them here IRL too.) In this style of contact, "pissed off" would have already been a fact.
If I posit that a final speed to create a 100ft. ballistic arc is required, and can be achieved with six gees in about .3 seconds. By using athletic competence, we could provide the same launch over a greater time, probably a running start that would result in under four gees.
Worrisome, but far from crippling, in a healthy adult. A pressure suit will mitigate the odds of becoming unconscious. Magical healing can reverse the pleural effusion or kidney damage, since Sabrina has free usage.
Why would I be imagining baseline humans in this circumstance?
Overall, a Ribbon Power Armor is for normal humans, Magical Girls are more suited to their individual defense styles. IRL, armor is great, until one needs to maximize mobility, and most Magical Girls trade armor for blinding speed. I think presenting the prospect of armor to Kyouko would be instructive. Sabrina needs armor, because we take risks and debuffs that would be illogical, if not for our mission and purpose. We tank way to many hits to do otherwise, and our Wish provides well for that.
Stranding random people on the tops of skyscrapers to demonstrate magic? Actively counterproductive,
This seems not to correctly use the context I made the statement in. I did not define in enough depth. That, you are certainly correct in.
There is a full setting related to this concept, feel free to discuss in PM! That intended purpose is not in the current scene, and that is a very normal sort of discussion to have.
OTOH, when I have an off day writing, it would not be bad for me to hope you would treat myself or others well. We can always respect one another, it isn't something that is rationed. I do not predict a state where I would "completely ignore" you. Please consider why I would say that.
That makes it even better.
Yes, the iceberg rule.
Our business card, coalesced out of grief, is eggshell white with raised comic sans lettering and sandpaper texture, reads:
Sabrina Vee
Grief Controller
Entrepreneur, Emissary, Nascent Cosmic Horror, Scientist, Consulting Detective
Mitakihara, Japan
Nice! (what if we want them to keep the card after we leave, however?)
