Ok this is beginning to reach Death Note qualities of planning ahead in the battle...

I believe someone called for a meiling clothes ripping? Wish granted!

I was going to complain about having Meiling having this much foresight, but then I looked closer, and it's the Philosopher's Stone Patchu gave her, which means Patchu apparently gave her a rock just for such a situation... I could say "Xanatos Roulette", but I guess she could have just thought "maybe she'll need to block a knife when fighting Sakuya" which is a likely enough situation that I'll accept it, although it would make more sense to just, I don't know, carry a shield or something if it was THAT easy.

(Also apparently Meiling is the heroine of this one? Well, Patchouli is my favorite, and she's apparently the "genius-come-from-behind-strategy" character, so I guess I shouldn't complain (until she gets injured or something), but Sakuya and Alice both rate higher in my book than Meiling...)

Patch wanted Meiling to use the power of it its not just a rock you know it holds powers in it. But she ended up just using it like a normal rock instead.

Patchy is much better at the sidelines then in direct head-to-head combat. She CAN pull of some nice chunky damage attacks, of course, but she cant take them that well. From the sidelines though, her mind can keep aiding others to a great extent, without having to suffer retaliation. ('Course, she DID suffer it, but nevertheless. she thought up enough brain power to keep the battle flowing even in her unconcious state~)
