"Yeah.

I'm going to test the 'telling fluff causes reset' hypothesis by waiting a week and doing it."

And she does that.

Permalink

It proceeds to February 2 over the course of a week.

Permalink

And she solicits the fluff and explains time travel.

Permalink

It goes much the same as last time. The reset takes a few hours to happen though.

Permalink

Edie is not shocked this time and does not go "what the fuck" at her sister.

She does explain the situation, and her ideas.

Permalink

And Emily agrees that the ideas are good ones, and calls for a fluff.

Permalink

Fluff!

Permalink

"Can I use a wish to send a message, if I don't know who to? Like, I want to send a message to the person who did a thing, but I don't know who did the thing."

Permalink

Yes, if you desire it very much.

Permalink

"Okay, great. Then I want to make a wish."

Permalink

The fluff trots forward.

Permalink

Emily holds a folded-up letter that Edie had written before Emily summoned the fluff, and says, "I wish that the person this letter is for would receive it."

(The letter, unbeknownst to the Kyubey, reads:

Hello. I apologize for accidentally siccing the fluff-thing on you; assuming this is the case, or whatever it was that caused the last two time-resets. My name is Edie Lehnsherr. On February 13, I was attacked by the victim of a witch, and died. My twin sister wished to bring me back to life, with a wording that I believe has caused me to retain my memories when time resets. I asked Kyubey about it, the first time it happened (to me), and then time reset again. I tested the guess that telling it was what had caused that to happen by waiting a week and doing it again. This time I convinced my sister to use her wish to send you this letter (since it seems that no changes to her are preserved through the reset). My phone number is [x]. Please contact me and explain what's going on, it's very distressing to be unable to have any lasting perceptible effect on anything other than my own mind.)

And she is a magical girl! Again for the first time!

Permalink

Based on her sister's description she's sort of curious what kind of powers she'd get from sending a letter but it probably doesn't matter anyway.

Permalink

Do you want to make a wish too? the fluff asks Edie.

Permalink

"Not right now."

Permalink

So the fluff informs Emily that she will need to hunt witches.

There's a reset mid-explanation and Edie gets a text.

Permalink

Edie takes out her phone and reads the text.

Permalink

You're lucky I can read English

New text:

please stop interacting with the evil aliens till you know more, they get in the way

Permalink

I would have tried something else if you hadn't. They're evil and not just frustrating?

Permalink

yup

surprisingly good at obfuscation considering they won't outright lie

Permalink

how are they evil?

Permalink

they're managing the whole magical girl + witch ecology to harvest human emotions and they started it

witches are decharged magical girls

Permalink

She stares at her phone for a minute.

Then she types:

the first time we thought it wasn't a big deal if she decharged because the fluff said I could wish her more charge

can you wish a witch back to a magical girl or would she have been stuck

Permalink

I think you can if you have enough oomph.
