Questions from Ask.fm

• How many bottles of the 13ths patented Funtime Futa Formula™ Does Mami have? What about Kharn?
  • Kharn used to be Nakajima's best customer. Mami has her own subscription. [1]

• Can the Futa Formula cause pregnancies? Or would there need to be more research into it?
  • It does, but there are condoms and safe days and morning after pills and so on. Birth control is still a thing, and if you want to make it more permanent just schedule an appointment with your Officio Venenum
  • Nakajima Pharmaceuticals is funded by Weyland-Yutani, jet fuel can't melt steel beam [2]

• How often do the Venenum have to surgically remove soul gems that end up "going in too deep"
  • God dammit anon
  • Answer is: Not that often, but there's always an uptick in incidence when the recruitment period comes in. Newly-contracted magical girls get curious and try new things. It got so bad that the Venenum had to give out pamphlets for it. Magical Girls and hormones, man [3]

• How does a magical girl perceive the inside of her soulgem when confined to it (either by body destruction or otherwise)? Is it a surreal dreamscape, or does the MG consciousness go into a catatonic state?
  • I've always seen it as something of the Magical Girl just falling into a dark, dreamless sleep whenever they get their body destroyed (akin to being comatose, or when Space Marines trigger their sus-an membrane to preserve their minds and body when they get too damaged). But if they sleep for too long, they may have a chance of waking up in that sensory-deprived state - which could cause a Witch Out. To address that, Officios have trained their Magical Girls to either prolong the sleep as much as they can, or go into a 'lucid dreaming' state - where they force themselves to dream of things they like doing, in order to stave off Soul Gem corruption. That's what Kyoko is doing now, most likely. [4]

• Can a girl who has made the transition switch between various Ironforms; like different Light variants? Can they have a new flesh body regenerated for them?
  • I think that's possible! As for the flesh body regenerated, it's also possible but I think in Fourth culture that's absolutely haram [5]
