Is that likely to happen?

Permalink

No, but it'd be good to have a contingency for; it's good to have a contingency for any situation that might come up where I can't throw magic at the problem and/or am at risk of witching.

Permalink

Would the loop reset if you witched or would the world just end?

Permalink

Don't know, better not find out.

Permalink

Definitely.

Permalink

I'll want to go over Raine's wording so that we can at least be more confident about safety margin with you, since you may make a wish of your own eventually.

Permalink

Yeah. Though I can pretty much always sing myself clear, I think. Right? Are there things that would turn you into a witch so fast you don't have time to react?

Permalink

The kind of mood spiral that causes it can make it pretty hard to pay attention to the danger as opposed to the sadness, I think, and it might also make it hard to sing.

Permalink

Oh.

Do most magical girls eventually die or witch?

Permalink

The oldest one I've personally met was forty. There might be older ones, but...

Permalink

 

Well, if I wish, then there will be. 

Did you know that when you made your wish? I guess by the time you did the world was ending anyway...

Permalink

No. I didn't know a lot of things when I made my wish. I'd been dithering about what to wish for all month and then suddenly it was then or never and during that entire month it had never occurred to me to ask if time travel was even an option...

Permalink

You got a pretty good one, though.

Permalink

Yeah, I did.

Permalink

It's kind of weird that something this powerful only counts as medium wish potential.

Permalink

Yeah, that's worried me. Insofar as I've been able to question fluffs without giving the game away I do not seem to be running low on power or anything that'd mean I'd have to be more conservative about loop use, but I may be siphoning some off the wish-granting system or something, though if I have I haven't been doing it enough for them to start acting differently in response to the power drain. I think I probably just found some kind of exploit that makes me a bad energy source and the fluffs would not have given me a wish if they'd known I'd wish this.

Permalink

Good.

Permalink

Yeah. Means I might have to be fussy about Raine's wording or coach her to pretend to her fluff that she's wishing for something else though.

Permalink

The aliens don't actually get to know what you're wishing for?

Permalink

What I think happens is the aliens determine what you are going to wish for as best they can, but they have to do it by talking to you; and then at the moment you're about to do it they hook you up to the wish generator; and if you wish for something that is too high-power for you, it fails and you only have a second to try a backup wish, but if you wish for anything that fits in your potential, it'll work even if the fluffs didn't expect it.

Permalink

What's wishing like?

Permalink

You say it aloud, whatever it is you wish for - I'm actually not sure if the thing'll be able to interpret your language or not - and then there's a weird rushing sensation and I don't know what it's like if the wish doesn't simultaneously transport you back in time a month, that may be a confounding factor.

Permalink

Okay. Do you have to talk to the fluffs to know how much potential you have?

Permalink

And the fluffs only speak English?
