[X] Reach out to Sayaka. Hugs as appropriate.
[X] We'll believe in her, until she can learn to believe in herself.
-[X] Sayaka Wished to help us knowing what it meant. That means a lot to us.
-[X] Ask if she wants some perspective on how most new Magical Girls actually are. Like Ono. Ugh.
-[X] Apologize for being a worrywart. But what you're all doing is dangerous, and they're our friends. We don't want to lose anyone.
[X] By the way, we're gonna need lots of help with the influx of Magical Girls we'll have soon.
-[X] Ask her to practise that Cloning power. Note social/combat advantadges if necessary.
[X] Transform stress into happiness through mumihugs.
[X] Karaoke!
-[X] Have a duet with Mami.
[x] Sit next to Sayaka and comfort her.
[x] Whether she believes it or not, she's doing a great job. It's been less than a week and she's already one of the best melee fighters we know. The fight she gave us just now was one of the toughest one-on-one fights we've ever had. The only people we've faced who are better are ones who've been doing this for years. She's so good that we had to hire one of the best melee fighters in the region to have something new to teach her.
[x] She's our friend. She's someone we can trust and rely upon. We worry about her, yeah, not because she's not strong but because we care. We worry about everyone. We worry about Homura, no matter how powerful she is, we worry about Kyouko... Mami's the greatest, but we worry about her the most of all. We're scared, all the time. Scared of losing the people we love. No matter how strong they are. Magical girls, no matter how strong, are all so fragile, deep down. We can't bear to lose anyone. This is the only family we've ever known.
[x] If she seems to respond positively:
-[x] There's going to be a lot of new magical girls coming to town soon. We're going to be depending on her. Because we know that she's someone we can depend on, someone with a good heart. We think she's amazing.
[X] Sigh. Lean back and swear. Stop the plane.
-[X] Between the payments we're fronting, the training, the group hunts, the being ferried around on a grief platform... From her point of view, it must feel like nothing's changed, huh? She's still being taken care of, paid for, protected... And we don't see it, because all we see is "Sayaka is going to be incredible once things happen" and "who cares about 90k yen, there's more where that came from."
-[X] cleanse pls
-[X] Some of this is going to be repetitive and stuff she probably already knows but it has to be said.
-[X] Homura and Mami have simple, overriding issues.
--[X] Homura wants WPN dead, which is hard because it could probably walk off a nuke. Training directly helps with that.
--[X] Mami needs -- not wants, needs -- stable friends. The extent of her trauma is very, very ugly, and she has been training people just for the companionship for a long time.
-[X] You, however, have a vast array of problems social and physical and a tendency to over-compartmentalize information, or just outright not think to pass things on, or...
--[X] That isn't as bad as it sounds. Really. But, for instance, you're rather hoping that exposing Kyouko to Sayaka will be good for Kyouko, who has a ton of issues you're not sure if you should talk about because privacy, and who you're really hoping to bring around in part because a reconciliation there would do wonders for Mami. Not that you can tell Kyouko that -- she'd never talk to you again.
---[X] If she tells Kyouko you said that, you'll bop her, you swear. And yes, you are using training partly as an excuse to insert blueberry.
[X] Reach out to Sayaka. Hugs as appropriate.
[X] Give her perspective on how most new Magical Girls would be doing in her stead. Like Ono. Ugh.
-[X] That's part of why we worry so much... but really? Sayaka is very strong already. And we still worry, just like we worry about Mami, and Homura, everyone. Because what we're doing is dangerous, and they're our friends. We don't want to lose anyone.
-[X] Sayaka Wished to help us knowing what it meant. That means a lot to us.
-[X] She'll have her time to shine. We can't handle everything, much as we wish otherwise.
[X] On that note, we're gonna need lots of help with the influx of Magical Girls we'll have soon.
-[X] Ask her to practise that Cloning power. Note social/combat advantadges if necessary.
[X] Transform stress into happiness through mumihugs.
[X] Karaoke!
-[X] Have a duet with Mami.
[x] Hug Sayaka.
- [X] Apologize about how your no good at helping with this type of stuff... really you and social have issues with each other.
- [X]I cannot make you believe you are useful Sayaka. I can assure you and assuage your doubts all day. I can list everything you can do, and could do and explain how much better your doing then most new girls - I could make graphs if you wanted to, in color. In the end though the choice of belief is with you. But let me tell you something, while it may be true that we can't tell with surety how useful, how great or how well you will act until that moment comes when the chips are down and everything balances on your actions. I don't think, I don't believe you will have an issue in that moment because you took on this mantle of Puella Magi knowing about its costs, its truths and when you offered up your soul for a wish you did not wish for money, or power - you wished to help your friends. That is why I believe you are and will be 'useful' Sayaka, because you are a good person, and a good friend and most puella magi would take a good friend in this line of work over all the combat support in the world.
- [X] Now... Karaoke
- [X] With Mami hugs
[X] Reach out to Sayaka. Hugs as appropriate.
[X] She'll have her time to shine. We can't handle everything, much as we wish otherwise speaking of which...
[X] We're gonna need lots of help preparing for and dealing with the influx of Magical Girls we'll have soon to name just one problem she could help with. -[X] In jest: Alternatively, she can help us and Mami figure out how to fight witches with a railway gun.*
-[X] Help her bounce around ideas if she takes interest.
[X] Give her perspective on how most new Magical Girls would be doing in her stead. Like Ono. Ugh.
-[X] That's part of why we worry so much... but really? Sayaka is very strong already. And we still worry, just like we worry about Mami, and Homura, everyone. Because what we're doing is dangerous, and they're our friends. We don't want to lose anyone.
