You're not planning on opening a competing gondola company, are you?

Thing is, this thing is all the worst possible things that Alicia could have been - greedy, vicious, jealous... it wants to eliminate it's two 'sisters' so that its 'mother' will come back and love it like she is supposed to.  A perfectly innocent desire twisted into something horrific and ugly.

That's not something I have the skills to write... but I don't mind seeing something like this in the Metacontinuity.

The great thing about this project is I get to write a whole bunch of things that I didn't have the skill to write until I wrote it.

Up until then, the Masaki family and Urzu Squadron have been tying up the Wolkenritter with a combination of skill and numbers.  And now, Lindi, Chrono, Gil Graham, and Lotte and Aria have just shown up to the party.  Between that and Ben's Antimatter Surprise, the Wolkenritter retreat, leaving the others to perform damage control.

And for the Good Neighbor system to trigger. I don't care if it's in a pocket dimension, it's still a frakking matter/antimatter explosion!!!

These happen a lot more than you think.  I don't want an alarm every time a nearby virtual particle pair self-annihilates.

"Is Alisa condemned to being... not to put too fine a point on it, a soulless abomination?"

"Hey! She has a soul! It's just, well, not in her body."

"Like the star seeds weren't in the Sailor Senshi's bodies at the end of Sailor Stars?" asked Sasami.

Everyone went quiet for a brief moment. Then there was a mad scramble for cellphones - Ben had his out first.

Five minutes later, Usagi ... Sailor Moon's face was emotionless. "Who did this to her?"

"We'll fill you in later. Can you help her?"

"I think so."

The analogy may be closer to the Pure Heart Crystal (although I think these are functionally the same thing, or closely related because something something Sephirot).  Minako could actually move with her heart in her hands, which is a bit closer to the puella magi, although much more hilarious.  Usagi and Hotaru can both wear their heart crystal outside their body.  And I'm planning to use this as a plot point a little later on with one of my magical girls.

Cellphones are great and all, but someone's going to have to teach us how to kythe.
