And as has become habit (I've got to stop posting so late I'm spacing out) I forgot to call the chapter last post. There ends Office Complex, and here begins Book 2, Chapter 15: Lowlife!

Now that we have half-life alyx to draw from PMAS can extend an extra 3-4 years. :V
 
...
"Mmm," Mami agrees. "It's a... remarkable coincidence that Mrs Shizuki just happened to have known a magical girl when she was young."

"I'm starting to believe little and less in sheer coincidence," you grumble

This is a hint that we should expect enemy action involved with the Shizuki dinner. In case of enemy action, especially enemy action feat. "Hitomom remembering this stuff appears to be harmful to us", please REMAIN CALM. Thank you. This PCA from Paranoia Catgirl Agency.

Anyway.

I'm gonna propose something and expect it to go flying through (possibly with mods, I'm not spending a ton of time converting it from basic Kai-writing) because it involves doka.

[X] Telepathy Madoka.
-[X] 'Yaka has self-image issues that you're poking at because poking at people's issues and getting other people to poke at people's issues is your job. What exactly does Sayaka's workload look like? And if you suggested she take care of it with a clone, would you be helping or not?

I say we don't poke the Sayaka this turn. Extend her some trust, since she's been handling the witchbomb pretty well.

Also, do we want to invite Nagisa to the shopping trip or the homework session? I'd say shopping trip makes more sense, it's not like she attends the same school.
 
[X] Existing science and training plan
- [X] Try making lightning with nanofog again, this time focusing on the macro-level friction mechanics rather than trying to directly manipulate electrons.
- [X] Experiment with both the infinity gauntlet (both power boosting and enchantment configurations) and enchanted grief to try and create the various constructs that seemed just out of reach. (See Grief bending index subsection C)
 
If we're gonna do proper science, then the main thing I'd like to try is Soul Gem Range Extension enchantments.

We know that Sabrina's enchantment theme is "control". We know that Sabrina is able to make enchantments to boost people's self-control, since that's the principle our personal anti-mind control enchantment works on.

It should be entirely in-theme for Sabrina to be able to make an enchantment that "boosts the signal" of a Soul Gem's control, to increase the control range. And assuming that our grief control works by considering grief to be part of our body, that should also increase our grief control range.

Not when Kyouko and Yuma have not been lichbombed yet. I say we go light on the science this time and focus on improving our personal combat ability. That will help us so that if we get surprised, or are focused on using our magic we won't get stomped during combat.
 
But it's warm here. Here, under the blankets, with Mami curled up against your back, arm and leg wrapped possessively around you. Warmer still is the sheer contentment of a job well done: One more friend for Mami, one more friend for you, and the Holy Quintet back together for the first time - with a few extras.

You feel Mami shifting on the bed, her hand working out of the blanket and finding its way to your hair, running slowly through the strands.

"... are you purring?" Mami murmurs after a while.

Um... yeah, yeah I am :V
 
Okay, so: Training session is going to be Mami, Kyouko, Homura, and Sabrina. None of those people is going to have any issues with going out in the rain, although we should probably make sure Yuma doesn't get too soaked.

I wonder if Kyouko would be okay with the previous pattern of three separate 2 vs. 2 matches. Asking her to partner up with Mami this quickly might seem pushy... I kind of want Sabrina to have an all-out spar with Mami, too - both Sabrina and Mami have a ton of non-lethal options even at full power, so it might be an interesting match (as opposed to a full-power match against Homura, which would be really boring and binary).

If we are going to do enchantment practice during the homework session, then we should probably push Nagisa up to the shopping trip.

Basic vote outline:

[ ] Continue the conversation:
-[ ] Propose inviting Nagisa along for shopping.
--[ ] Ask Yuma if she's interested in meeting her.
-[ ] Confirm the meeting in the evening with Hitomi's parents.

[ ] Basic Science:
-[ ] Test your fine control by trying to nudge the rain to miss you, as subtly as possible.
-[ ] Try summoning a more aerodynamic hammer variant. Just the hammerhead as an artillery shell? Lob it at a distant target with a grief sabot.

[ ] Group Training: Ask Kyouko if she's interested.
-[ ] Discuss the format with the people attending. A series of 2 vs. 2 fights again? Or something else?
--[ ] A more high intensity spar of yourself against Mami?
-[ ] Your own personal reaction times aren't up to scratch, focus on improving those.

I'm good with this vote. Although I think we could also have Yuma join in the training, it might be worthwhile to try a little 4 vs 1 or 3 vs 2 as well, since we won't always have the numbers (in fact we usually won't).

Also, not important for this vote, but as a subject for discussion, what do we want to talk about with Hitomi's parents? Ways to turn magical power into money right? Maybe also quality of life/psychological help for magical girls? But that would require reading more people into the secret and might put us even more at odds with Kyubey.

So, basically I can think of a few obvious things we can do:

1: We can transport stuff quickly. Might be time consuming, but it is possible.
2: Healing, expensive grief wise, but hey we got free grief cleansing!
3: Construction work - we got power but don't really have expertise
4: Material creation, we can probably do something like Superman crushing coal into a diamond or something like that.

What else?
