Edie is walking home from school. It's something she's done hundreds, thousands of times before. It's later than usual, but not really out of the ordinary--sometimes clubs let out late. It happens.
It's a perfectly safe route.
okay
we're twins
I think I would have had enough
doesn't matter she isn't a magical girl anymore.
why is everything resetting?
Huge, huge witch
Already tried getting somebody to wish her unwitched, they didn't have the oomph, you could ask your sister to try
okay
I don't want to do this but if my sister tries and it doesn't work we could try letting it kill me and then having her try
I can extend the loop if I go to Australia or you could come where it is
let's not use it as a first resort but it's a good thing to have it as an option
I'm trying to backtrace the witch to see if I can catch her smaller and I think she comes east but I start in WA
where's the farthest you've tracked her
i can get my sister to make a speed wish or something and go there
I'm not really confident of anything earlier than Vancouver.
Any puella magi can stow away on a plane, no need to tailor the wish
she stops being a magical girl when the loop resets, it's not like her wish is a limited resource. I bet she can get faster than a plane.
you're not going to want to get her wished into the loop? that's useful but surprising
I will but she'll wish whatever I ask with no questions, we trust each other unconditionally. that's a useful resource and she agrees that using it before wishing her in is a good idea.
good. I think I could get a custom wish out of this one girl but I'd rather not try the thing I think would convince her
and if we have to do something that'll get me killed it might be better if she doesn't remember, she was really fucked up the first time
yeah
dunno if I even can. I should probably send you the full text of the wish, gimme a sec
And then, a few minute later--
"I wish that my sister were alive forever, and nothing could ever erase her mind from the world ever again"
the fluff had at that point explained literally zero except "you can make your sister not dead anymore by wishing out loud"
they suck. sometimes I shoot them for stress relief they don't care they're a hivemind
I think she would've phrased it more carefully if she knew how it worked, I have no idea what it did to me.
the wishes are legit do-what-I-mean and the fluffs don't finetune it for whatever that's worth so probably nothing bad unless you object to being immortal
ever seen the movie "death becomes her"? I don't object to immortality but I'm nervous about what happens if I test it
