Renascence: A Homura Quest

Honorifics or Western-style Titles? I've used both before, which is bothersomely inconsistent

Hang on a minute- how do we know Sayaka's going to cooperate with whatever we decide? Plus- won't doing this make it harder to get closer to others later?
 
This totally wont become a chekov´s gun later!
*insane cackling intensifies*
.......Alright im game, earrings mean....yeah remember homucifer? though i kind of like the concept of it, any of you read F/H Ataraxia? did ya see Lancer and Bazzet´s matching earrings, that was the catalyst for Lancer´s summoning i believe, plus its kind of sweet to share earrings like that, also in the Ocarina of Time manga the sheik perforate one of their ears as a sign of their allegiance to the clan, Impa gives Link an earring after he learned from her.
Here is a little Mad about F/HA


I find it quite awesome! Bracelets.... it usually means deep friendship, rings usually deal with family in a lot of ways..... i dont know what to choose!

What? usually one responds with joy when recieving gifts i believe, and using matching accessories is a sign of a deep bond with each other, and why would this make it difficult to get closer to others?
 
Crow- Matching accessories, I worry, is the friendship equivalent of 'coming on too strong'. This may not be romance we're talking about, but that could easily be a thing.

Well she started it, usually you only offer your house to people you really really trust, it would be easy to spin this as we being grateful and she "being so kind" and "being our first friend" or somesuch like that, its not really a social mine and Sayaka and Mikimom are more....how do you say it, er relaxed about things like that.

As long as we agree to spin it either this way, or carefully to get around the risk of 'coming on too strong', I suppose it will be fine.
 
One decision isn't going to blow this friendship. First impressions mean a lot, I guess.

[ ]Hairpins. One for her, with a clockwork motif. One for you, with a musical one.

It isn't flaunting our wealth like buying gems would be, and it pretty much has only friendship overtones. Safe, but still worth doing.

I could be convinced for anything but rings, I guess. Just don't really have a reason to vote otherwise right now. e: Actually, why the fuck not. I'll vote with you, Crow.

Hairpins are the most 'casual' of the options, relations wise.
Besides, we lack fancy headgear.

Werent we saving space for Mado´s ribbon? cmon thinking its the "safe" option is too naive! while giving the ring is a little too much(though it would be hilarious if we did the proposing thing) what we choose here probably determine the "flavor" of our relationship with the blueberry, besides i dont think Homu would look that good with the musical note hairpin......

Vote for Earring! you wont regret it!
 
Ok...

1) We need to tell Sayaka about Soul Gems before there's any chance of her contracting (though with her sword from the shop, her chance of contracting now seems significantly diminished).

2) Kamijou needs to be healed before April 20. Whether or not Sayaka can do something about that now, with the sword, is unknown, so will assume that it must still require Sayaka contracting.

3) Either Sayaka must confess to Kamijou, or Kamijou must remain forever alone (which doesn't seem like a perfect end, so no point in following that path) in order to prevent any Grief Spiral paths.

4) Either Sayaka confesses and her feelings are reciprocated, or Sayaka confesses and is turned down, but she is given another love interest to stabilize her. Very unlikely alternative: Sayaka must find another love interest before the point she would have confessed (impractical for this to occur at this juncture).

5) We -could- set up Homura as the fallback romantic interest, though that kinda makes my head hurt.

6) On the assumption that best pairings are Sayaka+Kyouko and Kamijou+Hitomi, best recovery is likely to be if Sayaka confesses and is turned down before she has a chance to contract. If that's the case, any wish she makes to heal him will genuinely be for his sake, and not her own (particularly if Hitomi has already expressed interest).

7) So we want to encourage a quick confession, while also providing a strong comfort if/when it fails. If we don't actually want to play rebound, we want a symbol that shows closeness and caring, without outright potential for love.

8) We wouldn't want something so public as to seem that we have staked a 'claim' on Sayaka, at such time as Kyouko comes into the picture.


As such, I'd probably be against the rings (too close).

Hairpin motif is nice, but you can't see it without a mirror or taking it off; bracelets allow one to actually -see- the gift, which helps give it emotional weight. On the other hand, the hairpins are far more visible to others, making it a more public tie, while the bracelets are more personal.

Earrings are borderline on a lot of those factors. Assuming pierced versions, the physical requirements imply a much closer bond (though could also be a negative if Sayaka doesn't want pierced ears).

Bah! Driving myself in circles on this one.

I think overall I'm going to go with the earrings. There's a definite closeness there (almost intimate, if they go with the non-pierced versions (possibly even pierced?), and putting the earrings on each other; close contact with the other's face, rather than hands), without being overtly public.

Just to make it clear- we ARE going to be careful in how we speak to Sayaka, right? I want to make sure we try to make it seem like we see Sayaka as a close friend, maybe portray ourselves as lonely or something, and thus very much avoid 'coming on too strong' even for her.

If I can't get that, I'm switching back to hairpins out of caution.
 
You have good wordsmithing, and tons of experience with this girl, if not as much as the other 3.

You won't say anything reckless.
