Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Reader mode
Wonder if Koko knows 4D rotation, because she probably do something like that with spears and chains, which is kind of metal.
 
Ok no, no no no, were doing this and y'all ain't gonna object to it!

[X] Talk to Mami
-[X] She does realize that she just overcame essentially the exact type of situation that's caused her all of her misery, right? By herself!?
--[X] Excitedly jumping hugtackle!
---[X] You're here for her and she is *awesome*!
-[X] Calm down
--[X] Uh, so, about halfway through that you remembered that you were supposed to tell her about what happened in Kyouko's past *before that*. Which, um, is the most serious misstep you've made probably *ever*, and could've ended really badly if she hadn't covered for it by being amazing.
---[X] So uh, yeah, you should probably explain that all.

E: tentative additions

Soooooooo.

I do believe Kyouko is getting her ear talked off by Yuma right about now.

So we don't have to say anything to her, really.
All righty, the default action, for now.


[X] Praise Mami
-[X] Hugs
 
[X] Say something to Sayaka/Homura
- [X] Thank them for being here
[X] Head home
[X] Hug Mami
[X] Talk to Mami
- [X] Mami is amazing and brilliant and badass and beautiful and whatever other compliments you can think of in the moment
- [X] Also you really messed up by not telling her Kyouko's backstory ahead of time and you're very sorry did you mention how pretty Mami is
[X] Prepare something for Kyouko?
- [X] Taiyaki?
 
[X] Say something to Sayaka/Homura
- [X] Thank them for being here
[X] Tacklehug Mami
[X] Energetically praise Mami
[X] Head home
[X] Continue praising Mami
[X] Prepare something for Kyouko?
-[X] Ask Yuma if they've had dinner yet, then make something appropriate depending on her answer

Sounds about right.
 
Okay, so, this is roughly an actual vote and represents something major coming out of my backlog because this is exactly the moment for it.

[X] Talk to Mami
-[X] She does realize that she just overcame essentially the exact type of situation that's caused her all of her misery, right? By herself!?
--[X] Excitedly jumping hugtackle!
---[X] You're here for her and she is *awesome*!
-[X] Calm down
--[X] Nobody really talks about it, but this sort of interpersonal stuff -- what to say, when, to whom, how, so that you end up with this instead of that -- it can be learned. It can be learned, it can be practiced, and eventually you can do a lot better than luck of the draw with it. The big problem is that because nobody talks about it, until you find out that it's a thing, heck, until you learn something about it and *use what you learned*, find out that you can *change*, realize that it really is a *skill* that can be *acquired*, you're stuck just... Thinking that screwing up something like this means there's something inherently wrong with you. That you're broken and can't be fixed.
---[X] That's just not true, though. Today, maybe she couldn't have done it on her own, maybe she wouldn't have found the courage -- but today, *she* found the right words, and no-one else. She can do it again tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that, and every time that it *works* for her she'll find that she's just a little more comfortable with it, knows what to say just a little bit better. There are books about it -- of varying quality -- if one looks for them, and she can read them if she chooses to. And day by day, if she keeps at it, there will come a time when she will never again feel so helpless in this way.
 
[X] Say something to Sayaka/Homura

-[x] Cleanse offer
[X] Tacklehug Mami
[X] Energetically praise Mami
[X] Head home
[X] Continue praising Mami
 
Well. All that panic and terror for nothing. Wheeee~

Even if the optimal route was locked off before we got here. Oh well. *shrug*

I'm now imagining Kyouko explaining everything to Yuma and questions if she should take the deal, and Yuma takes a knife off the table and holds it to Kyouko's eye and says "TAKE THE DAMN DEAL, you will NOT deny me Mami-san cooking three times a day you sonofabitch."

Then Kyouko just has everything click in her heart, and she goes, "That's my girl."
 
While this wasn't the best outcome, one of the benefits of doing things this way is that it's indisputable that Mami did this herself.

It's not just an unattainable miracle that Sabrina can do, like Mami thought Kazumi coming back might have been, it's something that Mami can use to prove to herself that she is strong enough.
