Renascence: A Homura Quest

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

  • Japanese Honorifics (-san, -sama, -dono, -chan, -kun, -senpai, etcetera)

    Votes: 12 33.3%
  • Western Titles (Mister, Miss, job titles, Lord, Lady, etcetera)

    Votes: 0 0.0%
  • Use whichever works better for a given sentence.

Dear oh dear, this is quite the predicament......hm, i think traits are more valuable seeing as we can train up our abilities but the traits give a perma-boost.

any recommendations? im leaning towards leadership, but recipient of wisdom sounds really useful....
 
10 minute warning, then I'll lock the votes and post.

Omake reward discussions can continue until late tonight, so no need to rush that.

Agree with Fang that wordsmithing is probably going to be most versatile, but listen to your heart, crow!

What's hilarious it's that Homura isn't canonically good at any of these except maybe the last one.
 
Forgot to mention: As of now, you'll be exploring the hospital, while passively keeping an eye out for meds and cardiology resources, as Milurk's write-in does not conflict with the winning vote.
 
You'll get alerts if she notices something interesting, just as without it. This just means she may spot some things she would have ignored otherwise.

No impact on SAN gain.

If and when I choose to fuse votes, the winning vote will never suffer a detriment from the process, although the effects of the add-ons may be reduced or altered for the sake of the winning vote.

Thats actually quite insightful, having our heart start giving us problems while we are occupied is annoying. I would know after all

Paranoia is good.
 
Hospital 4 | Hospital Exploration [Sayaka Libraries]
You move to place your meager possessions within the confines of your shield, only to hesitate as you recall what happened last time.

Deciding it's best to make sure your shield hasn't become a black hole, you grab the pillow from your bed and seal it inside. Moments later, it rests in your hand again, unharmed.

You quickly drop your new acquisitions inside. You don't have any other practical way to carry them, after all.

Ending your transformation, you adjust your glasses before heading out into the hallway. Your feet are already carrying you towards the exit, when a thought strikes you; you've never actually seen what happens here on the first day. At least, you can't recall checking. You always just rushed out instead.

With that, you turn and head deeper into the buidling, roaming the halls of the hospital, keeping an eye out for anything that might be of use or interest to you.

As you stroll the building, you try to relax, but it's difficult. It seems like every time you start to relax, you manage to stumble across something upsetting. Parents grimly watching over their bedridden children, children clutching the hands of dying parents, it's a montage of human suffering as you wander through the halls of the hospital. Many of these people will never leave, others will never fully heal. There was a time when you could easily have fit either category.

As you stroll through, you begin to notice the individual voices around you, glancing in doors to see if you can spot anyone or anything of interest. You occasionally get a vague sense of familiarity from certain people, possibly from memories of your childhood, but nothing significant for quite a while. You do, however, notice a psychiatric office and your own cardiologist's office, and note their locations before continuing your stroll.

You walk for another ten minutes or so, exploring multiple floors, before you stumble across something you didn't expect.

Sayaka's here, visiting Kyousuke. If you wanted to, you might be able to introduce yourself as a fellow patient.

[] Nope, you're not messing with her drama right now. You'll add it to your calendar, but you've had enough stress today already. Instead...
-[]Go see your cardiologist.
-[]Check out the psychiatric office. Maybe you could steal some meds, or even talk the doctor into prescribing you some.
-[] This place is full of bad memories. You just want to get out of here and find a nice place to sleep. Time to go find a place to live...

Memory Access:
Miki Sayaka is a fairly normal girl, if exceedingly headstrong. Her fixation on Kamijou Kyousuke often leads to her wasting her wish on him, which ends badly if he fails to reciprocate her crush. In the past, he has occasionally accepted her confessions, but they rarely remain together long, due to Sayaka's life as a Magical Girl.

Many different versions of Sayaka's romantic escapades and life as a Magus have played out throughout your life, and a few very clear patterns have arisen..
  • If Sayaka heals Kamijou, but does not receive recognition for this fact, she regrets her wish severely, often leading to Grief Spiral.
  • If Sayaka heals Kamijou and receives recognition and support from him, but not romantic interest, she is upset, but this lone does not seem to trigger Grief Spiral.
  • If Sayaka confesses to Kamijou, and is rejected, she will Grief Spiral without sufficient emotional support and/or the appearance of a new romantic interest. Kyouko often ends up fulfilling this role, but others have as well, in the past.
  • If Sayaka does not confess, and Kamijou finds someone else, Sayaka is consumed by self loathing and enters Grief Spiral.
  • If Kamijou is not healed by April 20th, he commits suicide.
    • If Sayaka is a Magus at this point, she blames herself and enters Grief Spiral. This version of Sayaka's Grief Spiral is almost completely unstoppable once it begins.
    • If Sayaka is not a Magus at this point, she falls into a period of deep misery. Pulling her out of this is possible, but very difficult.
  • If Sayaka discovers the truth of Soul Gems after becoming a magus, she has a high probability of entering a Grief Spiral. This chance is increased drastically if she is still romantically interested in a non-magus at this point in time.
  • If Sayaka discovers the truth of Soul Gems before becoming a magus, the probability of Grief Spiral is reduced drastically, if not fully averted.
  • If Sayaka discovers the truth of Witches at any point, she becomes obsessed with saving them. She is generally at her most cooperative while in this state, but is unwilling to kill Witches. She will demand for all Grief Seeds she uses to be rehatched, so that she may try to save the resulting Witch.
    • She has yet to succeed at restoring a Witch, but has managed to get abnormal responses out of several Witches: Charlotte, Candalero, and Ophelia.
    • This almost always leads to her demise at the hands of one of the very Witches she attempts to save.

Locked.

Interesting.......we either level up our medical skills/recruit a healer magus/hope that mami´s tea is ambrosia and heal Kamijou ourselves, therefore gaining Sayaka´s allegiance or encourage her to make a wish for healing.....no matter what we need to lich-bomb her before she contracts and do something about Kyosuke before the 20th.

depending on our research about witches and the circumstances we can employ the help of Sayaka if its absolutely necessary for her to know about the witch-bomb.

we can unlock the files later right witch? lets regain some sanity/stability/grief seeds before delving deeper into the blueberry dilemma.
Do not despair, this is but another rock in our way, remember that we are fighting for all of them, to get the golden ending everyone deserves.

Files can only be unlocked when the pertinent issue is at hand, but it will still be there next time you find yourself caught up in Sayaka's tangled relationships and personal drama.
