I mostly post from my phone, so I'm kinda crippled when it comes to voting. I can offer a general structure for a vote, but not any direct quotes from other people without significant time and effort on my part.

*looks at Mami*

*looks at Sayaka*

*looks at Kyouko*

*looks at Oriko*

I mean, I'm gonna be honest, there was a point where we did not know what we were doing socially, and it feels like we have passed it.

Do remember, we have learned some social skills, but we're still fledglings at best.

In fact, when we're raising any kids that we might have with Mami, our best advice for them would probably be, "Don't do anything I would do." And no, that is not a typo.
 
Welcome Fresh Meat!
Don't listen to the other folk; leave the social skills at home and bring some extra weird. Then pull up a chair and enjoy the show. :D
 
No no no, if we're going with the whole Star Wars theme we need to SCIENCE some lightsabers and a couple of deathstars. Right? Right.
Meant to make Homura smile, the Star Wars stuff was. Varied, our arsenal must be.

Also, with Death Stars, there is the small issue that unless we aim away from the planet, every shot we fire risks blowing Earth up. I'm no expert, but I think that might be somewhat counterproductive.

Let's hope so, because we've got some of the most important social votes in the quest coming up over the course of the next few updates and we haven't talked about it at all. :p

-----------------------------------------------

Right, I think this is a viable candidate vote, or close enough to be edited into such after discussion.

[X] Warmly: You're glad you could help Sayaka find that place.
-[X] Sayaka taking time to think things over is wise. Pacing herself in the face of a long and difficult project is a good thing. Even if you often forget that yourself.
-[X] If things get hard to deal with, even if the reasons feel dumb or insignificant, we'll happily lend hand or a shoulder. Or insight from your weird surplus life-experience.
\\Rebellion rewatched, appropriately subtle joke acquired. More seriously, Sayaka seems like she's in a good place so I think these are the last points to be made so she can do her thinking about things without distraction from that.

[X] Intercept coobie's post-witchbomb arrival and cocoon in grief for the evening.

[X] Invite Sayaka to dinner, but no pressure if she wants to mull things over in peace for the night.
[X] Prospect: You talked with Kyouko during Sayaka's training and... would Mami be up for talking with Kyouko tonight? In person?
\\ still could use refinement.

[X] Other conversation: Share your musings on how honestly, kindness, openness, and acceptance seem to be the key to most of your successes, even if... everything... often conspires to make that so much more dangerous and fraught than it should be.

\\ Because I think this is relevant to everyone we know is going to be here. And it has a lot of relevance both past and future to all involved. For Homura it's about talking to Madoka and a lens to examine why she finally succeeded in getting through to Mami on being a time traveler. For Mami it ties into her relationship with Kyouko, what needs to happen to repair it, and also all of our difficulties getting through our own nature and relationship to her. I think this is something all involved already know on at least some level, but I like the idea of codifying it.

[X] Dinner
-[X] Take one off your to-do list: Experiment with magic cosplay and set the table as maid-brina. With hair extensions.

Thinking on approaches here.

"You really do think they can reconcile, even if rebuilding their relationship won't be easy."

Hmmm... If in the past loops reconciliation happened as a result of losing someone close to both of them, then what about the results of gaining someone who is close to both of them?

I need to reread what we have and haven't said in recent PMAS but I don't think "Fundamentally, you want two people you consider family to reconcile" is at all wrong for our reasons here.
 
So...

How does voting work with this quest? I've finished re-reading it (my third read of it in two years!) but I never actually voted.

You vote whatever you want, line by fucking line, crafting the entire damn thing.

And then if you're doing something awful someone points it out.

This is why name voting is so prevalent, cuz people be carving their votes outta wood by hand every week.

There's a soft cap of 150 words most votes, because firn is a cinnamon roll what don't need your shit.

All votes should use a first person perspective. Sabrina is "you", other people are "her", "she", "they", or "kwyjibo."

All votes should strive to word themselves as generally as possible while making their intent clear. Firn will *take* "say these words" votes, but they're shit because they reduce Sabrina's IC flexibility and take too many words and most importantly *Firn does not generally appreciate them.*

Doesn't mean they don't sometimes work if you're ultra-careful about it and spend like a year brewing, though. I was braindead for the creation of that shit and I'm still proud of it... Well, no. I'm proud of the content, but not the wording.
