Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Reader mode
Speaking as one of Sabrina Vee's intrusive thoughts: during this group critique, Sabrina should really feel envious of the spectacle the other magical girls put on with their spars. :oops:

Magical girl's powersets usually come preinstalled with instinctive matrix kung fu combo acrobatics, intrinsic special fx to using magic, and macross missile massacre projectile ai. :cool:

Sabrina's magical girl OEM preinstalled software has none of those! :o
If sensing an attack, the Sabrina acrobatic instinct is... to move out of the way! *whoosh*
If using magic, the Sabrina expressionistic instinct is... to produce the end result! *poof*
If shooting a projectile, the Sabrina pathing logic instinct is... to aim at the target! *twang*
That's it. :eyebrow:

All the flashy chuuni stuff that magical girls naturally evolve into their combat techniques as they practice their skills and feel out the ways the hope of their wish magic wants to express itself...:smile:
...is missing from Sabrina's magic. :sad:

"Your potential is strange, but alluring! If you were to sell your soul to me, I believe you could obtain ultimate power as a magical girl!" :coolbeans:
"What's the catch?" :???:
"You will be forced to breath manually... Forever!" :drevil:
"...Deal." :V

Sabrina is stuck in the same camp as Accelerator, her powerset is so non flashy yet lethally absolute when used "properly" that she can't even attempt to show off with an A-rank style combo because Sabrina has to add all the special FX manually while preplanning every movement to produce combos on the fly. :confused:

Homura has similar limitations in flashiness but at least Homura still has the usual set of dramatically chuuni magical girl instincts and impossible hair and Moemura badass dissonance traits; all Sabrina can do to show off her "true power" is float around menacingly invulnerable/unstoppable like a knockoff Final Fantasy boss during their stereotypical "the end of the world is nigh" intro cutscene... :thonk:



Why yes, I would like Sabrina to seek Mami cuddles in a moment of emotionally vulnerable inadequacy! :p
Why do you ask? :V
 
[X] Hug Mami. It's your Prime Directive.
[X] Deploy grief-awning during discussion.
[X] Gush over everyone's awesomeness -- your friends are amazing.
[X] Attempt some minor refinement of technique.
- [X] Throwing hammers.
-- [X] Suggest that Yuma should try that too. Work alongside Yuma!
[X] Telepathically check in on Sayaka, Madoka, and Hitomi. Make sure to include Homura in the call.
[X] Head off to lunch.
- [X] Ask Homura, Kyouko, and Yuma if they would like to come along. You're buying, courtesy of the Mop Fund.
-- [X] Recount the story of The Mop to Kyouko and Yuma before leaving the junkyard, with grief visual aids.
[X] Think about Homura's shield, timelines, and Madoka's wish.

Reason for check-in being that way is because the entire reason behind the check-in is to reassure Homura that Madoka is alright.

100% yes. Oriko told us to talk to her about the Iowa group "soon" yesterday, and I don't plan on keeping her waiting. Getting some extra input on her thoughts for Tokyo Politics would be neat too - just print out an extra copy of the transcript we gave Madoka and Hitomi and bring it over for Oriko to examine.
 
There is a frivolous bit of science I hope to see:
Kyouko: manifest chain sword made out of spears
Sabrina: manifest greif block of max density before hitting witch-grief supercriticality
Kyouko: rev up chainsword of spears and press against greif block
Sabrina: actively clear kyouko's soul gem for maximum magic throughput
Kyouko: continue revving up the chainsword and pouring more magic into the chainsword until the sheer force of tim taylor magitechnology causes a knife thru butter effect on the grief block
Sabrina: measure the magic output of the chainsword by analyzing the increase of greif output over time
Total experiment time: 1 to 5 minutes

Can be also be performed by sayaka, assuming sayaka has figured out how to spawn tinier swords on the blade of her sword.

Also, y'know, "Hey what's up with Homura's shield any ideas?"

[Q] "Hey Homura, ever thought about using something besides guns? Yes, there is no such thing as enough Dakka, but sometimes it's fun to mix things up, you know?"

We had two bags of grenades, seventy-five pipe bombs, five bricks of high-powered C4, a saltshaker half-full of gunpowder, and a whole multi colored collection of handguns, shotguns, machine guns, sniper rifles... Also, a few katanas, a number of golf clubs, a case of ammo, a pint of raw grief, and two dozen grief seeds. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious weapons collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the grief. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a meguca in the depths of a grief spiral, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

Probably at the next loop.
 
[Q] See about finding out if we can get the cast of DDLC out of the computer and turn them into real people and Meguca.

Considering what their life is like, it might actually be an improvement for them.
 
@Godwinson

Some minor refinements?

[X] Hug Mami. It's your Prime Directive.

[X] Gush over everyone's awesomeness -- your friends are amazing.
-[X] Ask for advice - you're sure Mami has suggestions.
-[X] Deploy grief-awning during discussion.

[X] Attempt some minor refinement of technique.
- [X] Throwing hammers.
-- [X] Suggest that Yuma should try that too. Work alongside Yuma!

[X] Telepathically check in on Sayaka, Madoka, and Hitomi. Make sure to include Homura in the call.
-[X] Set a specific time and place to meet for shopping so you can find each other easily.

[X] Head off to lunch.

Greetings from the land of VR! That's right, I got myself a VR set, and I'm using it to browse SV. If that isn't the height of drain bamage, I don't know what is.

In other news, I'm reaching the end of my supply of cosmere works (I'm currently in "The Eleventh Metal" in my copy of Arcanum Unbounded, and that's the last I've got.), so I have come up with more things to ask about.
  • What forms of Investiture best fit PMAS's characters' powers? (Homura = bendalloy Misting perhaps?)
  • Which best fit their personalities?
  • Which characters are they most like? (Homura is Kaladin change my mind)
  • Which characters would they get along with best?
  • If Kyouko had a Soulcasting fabrial (and Stormlight to power it), would she rob every jewelry store in Kasamino of their emeralds so she could turn stuff into food?
 
My thoughts, in case Redshirt wants to incorporate any of them is mainly that maybe we ought to learn something from Yuma. That deflecting bullets things seems very useful against any projectile based magical girl.

[X] Bring up some specific point of discussion: Yuma deflecting bullets was pretty cool, you'd like to learn how to do that
[X] Attempt some minor refinement of technique
-[X] Deflecting bullets with your hammer
-[X] Throwing hammers
--[X] Suggest that Yuma should try that too
[X] Head off lunch
- [X] Ask if Homura would like to come along
- [X] Ask if Kyouko and Yuma would like to come along
[x] Think about Homuras shield

For the main squad? Surgebinding, definitely. A powerset that requires a traumatic backstory and runs on adherence to a code of ideals is very Mitakihara Group. Bondsmith Sabrina, Skybreaker Sayaka, Windrunner Homura, and I'm not sure what Mami is but she's gotta be something.

It's generally easier to steal food than to steal emeralds.
 
On this, the anniversary of Walispurgisnacht, I humbly present art commissioned from Lutzsan...

Nadia Bennouna



P.S. Hiroko and Masami are next as well as Mika Nakano is in the works ^_^
P.S.S I'm going to drive Firn mad with questions to make these arts accurate.
