[X] Why do you ask? I feel fine. No need to worry.
You take a deep breath and let it out before realizing how strangely unnatural it feels to do that. Like flexing a stiff muscle, not painful, more like a sense that your body is letting you do it only grudgingly.
You turn away from the reflection in the glass -your reflection- and look up at the trio. Mami is standing closest to you, Sayaka flanking her on the left while Madoka stands half behind her on her right.
You blink and tilt your head. "Why do you ask?"
The trio are almost taken aback by the near dismissal of what you just did.
"A-are you sure Kyubey-san? I've never seen you do that before..."
"I feel fine. No need to worry."
You smile to cover the fact that your mind is racing at a million thoughts a minute. Why are you here? Why are you... Him? It? Everything feels natural to you as you are right now but the more you pay attention to that the more you realize that you aren't moving naturally at all. Your tail (you have a tail now!) twitches unconsciously but aside from that you cannot help but notice that not only are you not breathing, you're not moving at all. Your paws (Paws!) aren't getting tired of sitting...
While you think, the girls give you another round of odd looks before Sayaka shrugs. "Alright... If you say so?"
She glances at the other two, Madoka giving her a slightly blank look in return while Mami thinks for a moment and then gives a dignified nod in your direction. "If you say so Kyubey-san. If you are having any trouble you need not hide it from me though."
You pad back over towards the table as the girls resume their seats, still thinking. This is still early in the normal timeline right? Mami is still alive at least, though this conversation only took place a single episode before her death. But that could easily give you a week? Maybe two? You'd like to tell yourself that you're only wondering that to try and determine when in the grand scheme of things you've popped into this madhouse but the truth of the matter is, the moment you think of that, you realize that you could change things.
What if Mami doesn't die?
What if Sayaka doesn't become a witch?
In the background you can hear Mami explaining the system of contracts to the other two girls. And you resist the urge to correct her, explain the whole thing before realizing that Kyubey -Or well... You now you suppose- Was supposed to be the one giving this explanation.
And then remembering that knowing all those details... Witchbomb... Lichbomb... Everything else terrible with this system... Well it probably wouldn't help anyone to tell them right now right?
Still... You're in a unique position you realize. You don't necessarily have to let the girls make their wishes, you don't have to let any girls make their wishes, do you?
Just like before, the thought prompts a sudden rush of information into your mind...
Local Time to end of Cycle: 53:31:40
Cycle Energy Quota: 134% achieved
A quota? So the incubators had some sort of minimum numbers to reach every 'cycle'? Of course... 'Pushing back entropy'... It looked like Kyubey had already met it's quote for the cycle you had arrived in, so you had a little over two days before the next cycle started before you would need to start figuring out how to meet the next one? A series of names spring to mind, following the information.
Listing Resources | Sorting Type: Descending By Potential | Display: 10 Per Page
1. Madoka Kaname (Handle with Care, Extremely High Potential)
You feel nauseated despite being fairly certain you lack anything resembling a stomach...
'Resources'
If seeing that face reflected in the window hadn't done it, that little title was making it abundantly clear what you'd fallen into here.
You only feel worse as you read the other names on the list along with the little notes next to most of them.
2. Kanon Miyashiro
3. Mitsuru Bella
4. Sayaka Miki
5. Nagisa Momoe
6. Kirika Kure (Caution Advised)
7. Misa Yamashiro
8. Kita Nakahara
9. Chiaki Maita
10. Chitose Yuma (Caution Advised)
...Hold up...
You're pretty sure you recognize at least a few of those names besides Sayaka, but before you can contemplate further you realize that Mami is still talking.
"...hy don't you come along with me tomorrow while I take out some witches?"
"Huh?"
"It'll be better for you to see through your own eyes what it means to fight witches. Once that happens you can think about whether or not you have a wish so great that you'd risk putting yourself in danger."
...This might be a good time to interject? Or you could just keep going with the flow for now... More time to think would probably be helpful right?
[] Say Something
-[] To all three of them (Write in)
-[] Wait until you can catch one alone (Write in who)
[] Stay Silent
Since the witch hunt isn't until tomorrow, that means you have to figure out what you're doing tonight.
[] Stay here with Mami
[] Follow Madoka home
[] Follow Sayaka home
[] Go out on your own for the night.

Huh. Oriko wasn't on the list. That probably means that she's already a magical girl. I mean, it's possible that she doesn't have enough potential to be in the top ten potentials but I doubt it. That Oriko might have less potential than Yuma is a bit hard to swallow.
Anyway, point is that we have to Contract Kirika as soon as possible. Denying Oriko her true love and murder-buddy would be crueler than anything Kyubey did in the actual show.

Hi, found a "new" quest and decided to join. So wanted to give my thought and maybe a vote?
1. which ships should we concentrate on? Hom and Mad is standard, as is Ori and Kiri, but Sayaka? Kyousuke? Kyoko? Don't know
2. @Spectral Waltz can we write what to say AND what actions to take? I mean you won't write only what we write, but something else as well, right?
3. As for alternate energy ~~
|a simple ritual involving saying certain words while sitting in a pentagon allows a magical girl to convert her Greif into a Grief Seed|
good idea? yey, ney?
And well, I know too "inappropriate":
[X] Plan Slow Start
-[x] Say Something
--[x] (Sayaka, Madoka, Mami) "As important experience and knowledge is, you should be cautious. As far as I've witnessed Universe has a tendency to 'play cruel jokes' at most unexpected moments. Might I suggest asking Homura-chan as backup to avoid the 'punch line'? And no, Sayaka, she is just emotional child worried about .. ones she cares. Stress – everyone deals with it in their own unique ways... And we stumbled at her 'bad day'." Jump on the table, shortly listen to their arguments, but interrupt them before thing go too heated .... "All I ask is to consider a possibility: she is precise, skilled, and might work well with you Mami. As human saying goes: 'don't judge book by it's cover'. Definitely applies to her, trust me".
-[x] Go out and locate Homura, cause new Kubs, different thought, priorities and all that Jazz.
--[x] When you "feel" her location, find a good hiding place (preferably like a box or trash can: a place that completely hides Kyubey's body and place Homura won't look) and contact her:
--[x] "Homura! We need to talk ASAP, like right now gurl!" ... "Wait! We can stop Walpurgisnacht, save Madoka!!"
then....

I know I'm not the OP, but that is typically how Write-in options work, a kinda of guideline as to how we want things to go...Things that in general we want done.

That seems... complicated. And besides, if Oriko is a Magica Girl already, she's easily the best resource we could get. We should investigate her first.
[x] Say Something
-[x] To all three of them (Write in): Stay safe. Have a good night!
[x] Go try and find Oriko.

Does that surprise you? Sayaka is god's best friend. Kirika is just some depressed girl. Kirika is still a better magical girl though, since her wish gives her better magic and she's insane.Sayaka has more potential than Kirika?

Kyubey doesn't really speak like that, contacting Homura is a good way for us to die at this stage, and we need more information before we do too much to change things.
[x] Say Something
-[x] To all three of them (Write in): Mami's right. The lives of Magical Girls aren't easy ones, and the demands of the job are great. Magical Girls who make a Wish that isn't what they truly desire inevitably regret it, so be sure before you do it.
[x] Check your knowledge base for known ways of harvesting energy and their efficacy.

Do you want us to die on Day 1? This quest is fluffy, but it's not easy or a comedy. She shoots Kyubey on policy if there's no risk of damaging her standing with Madoka by doing so.
She also can Time Stop to track us down, if she wants to.
Behaving OOC will just make her panicky, I'd like to add. That throws all of her plans into chaos, and Homura needs control of the situation in order to feel comfortable.

[X] Say Something
-[X] To all three of them (Write in): "Prepare yourselves for tomorrow, girls. If you join Mami tomorrow and then decide to go through with becoming a magical girl, be ready to make a wish. Think hard about what you want; some magical girls can find themselves regretting their wishes later on, having wished for something hoping it would result in what they actually wanted."
-[X] Wait until you can catch one alone (Mami): "I was hoping to speak with you in private. I feel like tomorrow's outing might be very good to help these girls understand what they're getting into, but it might be tough for you to take care of them on your own. If you can, perhaps you should find another magical girl to support you on this outing? It'll be tough to manage them both by yourself. You're capable, Mami, but if you get distracted, someone might get hurt, including you. Having someone else to support you might mitigate that risk. Any thoughts on that?"
[X] Stay here with Mami
[X] Check the database.
-[X]Check your knowledge base for known ways of harvesting energy and their efficacy.
-[X] Look through that list of potential magical girls again. See if you can get further details on the first few entries in the list. Focus on those with the highest potential.
