[The screen shows a rather irate Magical Girl, glaring down at a half-black half-red gem sitting in her palm.]

Okay, I've got a problem. To anyone who didn't already know, if this thing goes completely dark, I turn into a literal monster. To stop it, I need these- [at which she holds up Elsa Maria's Grief Seed] but I've only got the one. Problem is, this one's almost full. If I use it again, it's going to hatch into a monster itself.

Anybody got any suggestions for what I can do here? Because I am officially desperate.

hit up one of the androids maybe? they've got all kinds of madcap high tech shit here, they could probably figure something out for you.

Re: sapphicdistractions

[redmeguca]

I doubt they've got anything that can fix this, but it can't hurt. You know how to get them in here?

[zweihandler]

there's usually one of em tooling around in the lab downstairs i think? the one that's full of tech and gears and junk. or you could find one of them on the network and see if you can hit them up with a PM.

[redmeguca]

I'll listen to what a few more people have to say first, but thanks.

What kind of monster are we talking here?

Re: un: daybreak

[redmeguca]

The "kills people whenever possible" kind. Witches only exist to spread curses and despair.

[hairpincurves]

What would it take to kill one, then? Are there any particular kinds of attacks it'd be susceptible to?

Basically, what I'm asking is could we kick its ass if it hatched.

[redmeguca]

Witches can only be hurt by magic. Normal weapons don't do anything to them. I don't know what all kinds of magic there are here, but anything that's not mundane should do.

[hairpincurves]

Well, there's plenty of magic-users around here... psychic abilities, too.

Obviously I'd say wait until you get more input, but I'm all for Plan: Beating The Witch Down if that becomes a thing.

What is it full of? What turns it dark?

Re: un: cosmicgirl

[redmeguca]

[There's a pause before Kyoko's response comes in.]

Negative emotions. Particularly despair.

Re: un: cosmicgirl

[thecompletionofthings]

You are not the only person at this station having a problem with despair…

[Harriet, you swore you'd never intervene to save anyone from their own bullshit again. Why are you even worrying about this?]

…I have some theories. I'll see what I can do.

[Harriet, you doof…]

[redmeguca]

That's all I ask.

[And Kyoko swore to only use magic for herself, see how that turned out.]

I can help you.

Where are you right now?

Re: un: kana

[redmeguca]

My apartment, it's right next to yours.

[Several moments later, there's a quick knock on Kyoko's door.]

[redmeguca]

[The door opens and Kyoko waves her in.]

Come on in, I haven't been here long so I haven't managed to mess the place up yet.

If it hatches and you kill the thing it hatches into, do you get that thing back? Monsters are no problem for me.

[redmeguca]

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure there are some Magical Girls who found a weak Witch and cheated the system that way. Elsa Maria was a tough one though, so I want plenty of backup.

[ax_iom]

... Not to brag, but I am plenty of backup.

It's good to have more backup, I agree, but... How urgent is it?

[redmeguca]

Like I said, she was a tough one. I've already got one person in, so you and one more should be good.

[ After she's had a chance to read the responses. ]

You told me about witches, didn't you? In the subway, with the graffiti? Do you think I'd be any help? Or are you good?

[redmeguca]

You probably could help, but too many cooks spoil the broth. We've already got enough people, more and we'd probably get in each other's ways.

[blackestwitch]

It's not like I fight anyway. I was just wondering how you thought my thing and their thing would do a thing, you know?

[redmeguca]

I don't really know how your thing works, so I couldn't really say.
