The New Math (Nanoha SI), Thread 2

[Bluemage]

So I've been thinking about the issue, and it got me considering what the rest of the Numbers will end up doing.  I took a few minutes, matched names/faces/personalities/decanting dates, applied a bit of logic, and figured out roughly how the future will go.  I'll be refining that over time, and surprises will have to be accounted for, but it's at least the base idea.
Turns out it doesn't really matter whether or not Quattro has a crush on me right now.  All it requires is a different approach when [REDACTED] starts [REDACTED], and [REDACTED] will end up [REDACTED] her anyway, crush or not.

I was half-thinking Quattro might have had a crush on Due. (Lyrical Nanoha is open to "alternative lifestyles," after all, and it would have shaken up a few preconceptions.)

Thanks for the idea, but I don't think it'll apply here.  (MSLN's "everybody's a lesbian" status is a bit of a fan mutation, I've found.  There's fewer of them- and more 'traditional lifestyles'- than most people remember at first blush, mostly because the yuri pairings get the most attention.)  If you look at the first three anime (my headcanon, basically), I count two of each among the current generation (Nanoha/Fate and Subaru/Tea on one side, Amy/Chrono and Erio/Caro on the other).
I have some of that planned for characters/situations down the road- enough to hold that ratio, methinks- but not her/not yet.

A short bit from Quattro's viewpoint as she worries over those things,
or one of the other sisters as she talks to them about it, would clear
it up pretty well - of course, that does mean getting fully inside one
of their heads to do this, but you have done this before with Tre at
least. If you want to stick to Imma's viewpoint as much as you possibly
can, have him consult one of the more social sisters, having realized
he's really messed things up, dithering so long after discovering that
Quattro was quite different (even if it seems to be a good difference)
than expected.

Your act of precognition has been noted.  An Inquisitor will be with you shortly.

I would expect that at least Sein and/or Cinque to intervene at some point here.

...drat, I already sent out my Inquisitor.  You'll have to wait.
Next scene will come in 3-6 hours.
