Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Reader mode
i think our saving of ono is analogous to mr. Incredible saving the suicide diver. we had limited info and did the most righteous thing within our abilities based on that knowledge, and the person who would be dead is mad over something comparably silly in comparison to death. i side with bob parr. i side with sabrina vee.
 
We could do better, by listening to the ambition in other people. It isn't that anything was said to us, it is something we would need to "draw out." As such, rather than a perfect "non-discussion," extending that into "what will she make of it" is better?

I'll offer her the chance to visit Tokyo for some solo shopping when we go to do our meeting. It isn't like she goes there much, and it isn't putting a yoke on her and getting her to work. This mostly aspires to have her spend a bit of time with us all in transit, just present and conversing. Or scowling, if she can't talk in public. She might decline, but offer an actual olive branch. I think access, and travel are about the right level of offer.
 
I just realized something

Some people, in the past, have talked about breaching the masquerade and making magic public knowledge. How would something like that even be possible. We already know that Kyubey edits memories and records in order to keep it secret. Heck, magical girls have fought on the frontlines of wars in the past. And nobody knows about magic
 
It would probably require Kyuubey's cooperation to some extent, but we don't know the extent to which his memory-editing works, or what his policy is on it

I imagine that even without his cooperation with enough megucas on our side with enough unique powers we could accomplish it. After all it wasn't a thing in Tart Magica because of some of the magic in play there.

It's not a goal we're going to accomplish immediately, it's something to work towards slowly.
 
Possibilities are:
- A sufficiently large and disruptive reveal might make Kyuubey decide it's not worth the effort of wiping, say, all of Japan, Spain, and Bolivia plus significant amounts of anyone elsewhere who was watching international news at the time.
- If Kyuubey has a limit on how fast it can mindwipe, such as one person at a time per body, it might be possible to do something up that's continuous enough that people learn about magic faster than Kyuubey can make them forget, and again it ceases to be worth Kyuubey's energy.
- Or find a reason to make Kyuubey want it that way.

Kyuubey's gone from No Masquerade to Masquerade before, some time between Tart and now. With the almost-certain ability of these hyperadvanced aliens to casually censor electronic communications, a single large event shouldn't be much harder now than what it did back then.

A continuous reveal shouldn't be limited by how fast it can make people forget. Even if it can make everyone on Earth forget magic in a morning, there's not much point if they're just going to be exposed to it again in the afternoon.
 
I generally assume that breaking the masquerade is flatly impossible until after we drive away the Incubators.

They have demonstrated ludicrous infosec within PMAS - consider that they covered up the Sendai fight, which included a massive fight in the middle of the streets during rush hour, along with hours worth of megucas rescuing people afterwards.

That's thousands of people's memories, and hundreds of records on security and traffic cameras, cell phone recordings, etc.

We need to come up with a way to counter-shock the Incubators so much they won't even care about the memory wipes anymore.

Like, for example.
Hugs are real, and they solve problems, yes, even universal entropy.

Cue "I don't understand" prompts overloading the Incubators' mental Wi-Fi servers.
 
Sabrina is aware of everything we are. This includes the Wraith Arc, any languages past or present participants know, and the best place to grab a burger in your hometown.

Aw man, Sabrina, not cool. This is our secret hangout, so stop stealing info from my head.

But yeah, burgers there are to die for.
