I forget: do we know anything about the population dynamics of magical girls in the SD city? in particular, how many people are magical girls? it seems like a relatively small number, maybe less than one in a hundred girls of the appropriate age, but has it ever been stated?

No, and Mary is rather cagey about putting numbers to anything in the comic. I think she's wary of people mathsing together off-hand comments to pick holes in the plot. They're definitely not common, though. My guess is around 1%.

Yeah it's one of those things where all the questions like that are probably just "enough" how big is the city? ...enough to support industry, production, transit, a wide assortment of establishing shots how long has this situation been in place? ....enough for it to be a normal factor of everyone's life! how many magical girls are there? ....enough of them (goops voice: too many of them) Which I don't blame her for because that's a lot of in the weeds minutia that's probably real easy to mess up

There's like twenty normal people and we've seen most of them already. All of the rest citizens are magical girls.

About 6% of the US population is girls age 10-19. If one percent of eligible girls get the dream, that is .06 percent of the population having magic. If it's one percent of the population at large having magics, that is one in six girls getting the dream. What's interesting to me is how the latter situation emphasizes how disproportionately young girls bear the burden. The chance of getting the dream could be pretty high and still there might not be very many magical girls overall.

Mary posted on Patreon that Undine wants Zoe to hear about Goops too, because she thinks Goops is loving with her, specifically, and Zoe's relatives were just caught in between.

maltesh posted:Remind me why they've been keeping Goops secret? Initially Undine was worried she'd look crazy, or that anyone she told would try to stop her going out because of the danger. (Chapter 7) Then when she told Kokoro, Kokoro got a threatening phone call from Goops soon after. So she had reason to believe that spreading that knowledge put her in danger. (Chapter 10) Undine doesn't know like we do that Goops has been off targeting other people, all she has to go on is her and Kokoro's direct interactions. It's hard to blame her, especially since she doesn't even really know what it is she wants to warn people about; finding out has been a key motivator in continuing to fight at night. Kokoro is less motivated to keep it hidden but she respects that it's Undine's secret to keep. She is ultimately the one pushing her to share.

The mouth burger attack that almost killed Kokoro was right after Undine told her and before the threatening phone call

Importantly, the poo poo Goops said in that first moment, while Undine was lying there dying before Tessa came to save her: "Poor little girl. You wouldn't be so confused, if you hadn't forgotten. Now you'll have to die never knowing... just how much... I hate you." (link link) I'd forgotten those lines the first time reading through, but on a reread Undine's initial reaction of "this must all be my fault somehow, I need to figure out what the hell is up with Goops before I tell anyone" is a lot easier to understand on an emotional level.

Ragnar34 posted:I don't know anything, please explain About that edit? Adidas tracksuits are a slavic stereotype. That's basically the whole joke, the text translates as what they actually said I think. About this new page? Undine is explaining the last fifteen chapters to her friends. Man, Vedika looks so crushed. She was probably closer to Cassidy than any of the others.

Vedika is also the one who got Cassidy all riled up at that particular time by telling her that Undine was hiding something. That confrontation certainly would have happened anyway, although maybe not on that particular night, but that's probably going to be hard for her to deal with anyway.

Well, that checks out. Her father gave her that nickname (I do not comment here often but I adore the adventures of magical girl city and I'm  over what plan they'll have regarding Goopy now, and how effective it'll be.)

V.. Vedika? Now, did she know from the start, independently, or did she know because she accidentally took a peek into Undine's mind when they were training?

Mikl posted:V.. Vedika? As a volunteer at a safety centre, Vedika is probably in a better position than most to hear about what threats the girls are facing outside, since she'll be encountering more of them. On the other hand, if there were already people talking about it, you'd think Bud would have heard. It's possible Vedika learned it from Undine or Kokoro while training, but then the consequence of the whole plot point is "Undine and Kokoro knew about Goops", which is nothing new, and "Vedika kept their secret", which isn't a big reveal or anything.

Maybe Vedika's able to read Goops's mind and picked up on it one night? It'd even give them a huge boost in actually finding her.

Hmm Bud isn't taking this well at all. She's used to knowing everything and has been completely blindsided. Now she's trying to get more information and pushing the guilt button at the same time.

Sad to say, I think this is the end of the workout club. We've noted before the symbols on the top of the page are Undine, Kokoro, Tessa, Zoe, and Rue. Bud, Harley, and Vedika aren't represented. I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect that we're about to see the whole group break up leaving only Undine, HP, and Zoe...which will bring in Rue sooner or later. And then we'll have to see what's going on with Tessa.
