Ok, well, in that case.
[X] Wait. Let Mami handle it.
My own plan may not have any hope, but this is just abrogating our responsibilities.
[X] Out loud, for everyone to hear:
-[X] Something like a year ago, in winter, Kyubey failed to do its job and wipe the memory of Pastor Sakura of the Sakura Church after he discovered his elder daughter Kyouko standing over a large group of apparently dead people -- unconscious witch kisses -- in front of an altar and wearing a red dress, having just slain a witch in her own home.
--[X] This really shouldn't have been an issue, only, Kyouko adored her father, and had become a magical girl in the first place because she wanted people to listen to him. And they did, most especially her.
---[X] Discovering this, Pastor Sakura quickly became convinced that Kyouko had made dealings with the devil in order to bewitch people into listening to him, and descended into alcoholism and abusive behavior before eventually burning himself, his wife, and his younger daughter Momo alive, vocally blaming Kyouko for it the entire way.
----[X] *That* was what Kyouko "did." You, personally, are substantially more inclined to blame a mix of Kyubey and the literal adult -- her own *father* -- who Kyouko was supposed to be able to trust.
...that moment when you realize that with all the WTF shenanigans that she gets involved in, Tamura's will must be even more broken than canon Homura...
"Thanks, Mom," Sabrina smiled. "... do you want a Hug?" She asked, a tad anxiously.
"... sure," Tamura repeated, a little hoarsely. "Why not."
I would prefer us not steering the conversation. This is Mami's fight. Not ours. She's a smart girl. She can get to the right conclusion without our help.
This is not simply a matter of who's steering the conversation anymore.I would prefer us not steering the conversation. This is Mami's fight. Not ours. She's a smart girl. She can get to the right conclusion without our help.
As mentioned, we didn't actually promise Kyoko that we'd personally fill in Mami. We actually said outright during that conversation: "I don't want to do that if I don't have anything from your end" and Kyoko never actually agreed to us telling her ourselves. The only solid promise we made was that we'd stop it coming to blows, acting as intermediary for the meeting.We made a promise to Kyouko to fill Mami in on what happened. You can interpret that as us promising to do so here and now or that we were supposed to do so earlier and simply forgot.
Either we planned wrong and thankfully lost only a single moment or we messed up bad. Either way, we have a duty to rectify our oversight.
It seems to me that the worst that could happen with letting Mami keep going is Kyouko continuing the trend right at the end of rejecting her friendship and hitting her biggest button while Mami can only blame herself until Kyouko runs off before we can do anything more. The last few lines have hit Mami hard and right now she's all but outright crying.I could honestly go for either route. Like, ignoring everything else, what's the *worst* that can happen with letting Mami keep going for a vote?
In the worst case scenario there, we just do my vote after next post.
I just, I've changed votes so many times here. I have people voting for me for a reason and I am going to stick to that reason because, well, *what's the worst that can happen with my vote???*
I'd read Tamura/Sabrina buddy cop story.No, seriously, I have this idea for Volume Four, which I would call Homura Tamura's Teenage Rebellion ( Mid-Life Crisis ), where Tamura and Sabrina face off against... Homucifer, as she launches a devious plot to absorb all Homuras and with their powers combined, save all the Madokas once and for all!
