[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.

What is it full of? What turns it dark?

[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.

[redmeguca]

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

Negative emotions. Particularly despair.

[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.

[redmeguca]

If I can get enough backup for it to be worth the cost, I'm all for it.

[hairpincurves]

If you want to see what I do specifically I'm usually at fight club whenever that happens.

(I'm one of the aforementioned psychic abilities people)

I do hope you can get the problem fixed somehow, though.

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]

I'll be sure to stop by. See you there.

[hairpincurves]

See ya!

[redmeguca]

That's all I ask.

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

To action

[redmeguca]

[Kyoko has left for the park... And has quickly realized that she never got a description, or even a name from "daybreak." So she's currently wandering around the Fight Club area hoping her contact finds her.]

I can help you.

Where are you right now?

Re: un: kana

[redmeguca]

My apartment, it's right next to yours.

[hairpincurves]

[It takes a bit but if Kyoko's wandering around looking particularly lost, Akira eventually makes her way over.]

Hey. Are you the one I was just talking to on the network? With the gem problem?

[redmeguca]

Oh! Yeah that's me. Sakura Kyoko, you?

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?
