[ With a click, the video begins. Homura's expression is just about void of emotion, as she's taken the last five minutes reminding herself not to break. It's uncommon for Homura to introduce herself to new people, but she's trying to make this introduction as brief and painless as possible to avoid showing any cracks in her resolve. ]

My name is Homura Akemi. I'm a Magical Girl who contracted with a creature called Kyuubey. If you are a similar magical girl or know of one then please contact me. If a girl named Madoka Kaname is foolish enough to be taken here then please contact me. I can hold my own in a fight and do not expect anyone to come to my aid. Let's end this quickly and without any unnecessary distraction.

... It's nice to meet you all.

[ With that, the video ends. ]

[ Foundry District ]
[ Though she doesn't intend to waste her time with social interactions, Homura does see some appeal in getting to know her neighbors. At least enough to know their names... Maybe, secretly, she'd like to be at least somewhat friendly. Maybe know who she could turn to as potential allies.

So you'll find her wandering about. If she spots anyone at all, she'll calmly wave to them and offer a greeting. ] Good day to you. Are you exploring the area as well?

Oh, I guess other worlds get magical girls, too. Well, I suppose they're pretty good to have around, even if they can be annoying sometimes.

[rewindingly]

I will make an effort not to get in your way, if that is how you feel.

[phobophage]

You're too obedient. If you think I'm doing something particularly stupid, just tell me already. Magical girls might be annoying, but without them, I'd still be an utter moron.

[rewindingly]

Speaking ill of yourself is the only proof you've given me thus far that you might be stupid. You should not act that way.

[phobophage]

I used to be stupid. If I told you what I used to do, you wouldn't think well of it. But that's besides the point. You shouldn't be so timid. Sometimes you should be annoying. I'm sure any bad guys you fight would think you're annoying.

[second_destiny]

Hey. Yeah, I wanted to see the foundry district. I may end up visiting this part of the city a lot in the future, so I wanted to check it out.

[rewindingly]

I see. So this is not the district of your residence? Where have you been assigned to live?

[second_destiny]

Nope. I'm assigned to the Wards...the most depressing district in the city.

[rewindingly]

I've yet to visit there. I'm sorry for your misfortune, none the less.

Homura Akemi. [ She offers a hand. ]

[second_destiny]

Don't call it that. You'd better see it yourself, but I'm not the one to apologize to.

[Blinking, then he reaches out for it.]

Asem Asuno.

A magical girl? What does that imply?

[Even though Illya is one, Kiritsugu's still wary of anyone involved with magic. His 'harmless old man' mask drops, but not by much.]

[rewindingly]

Do you want a general description or the specifics of my variety?

[maguskiller]

I think I'm already acquainted with the former.

[rewindingly]

[ Well, there's no point in not telling the truth here. If things go wrong then it would be ideal for at least someone to know how to help her. ]

My soul has been separated from my body and placed inside a compact 'Soul Gem' to maximize my capabilities. I can do most anything with my magic if I have the power to back it.

[maguskiller]

I see. I've seen magic before, but never anything similar to that. Impressive.

[And worrying, given how playing with immortality usually ends up in his world. Kiritsugu, too, has no reason to hide his knowledge of magecraft. Not in this world.]

[afieldofswords]

[Well that was a mouthful.]

Nice to meet you too. I think.

You seem a bit young to look that jaded.

[rewindingly]

My apologies. Is that going to be a problem?

[afieldofswords]

Well, on one hand, it makes me wonder what lead you to a point like that.

On the other, if we both have similar mindsets towards achieving goals, you won't be too difficult to work with.

[rewindingly]

It is a long story in a short timespan, and irrelevant to this world.

I hope I can assume then that you're focused?

[afieldofswords]

[Suddenly he feels like he's talking to his junior in the 'hello life sucked for me and I had to toughen up to it' club.]

Sounds familiar.

I like to think that I am. I'm certainly not bright-eyed or appeal to a greater good if something needs to be done. [Even if deep down, he'd really like to.]

Magical girl? What's that?

[rewindingly]

I am capable of magic and I am a young female.

I am a magical girl.

[ Straight forward answer. ]

[puppy_lancer]

Well, I guess that meant Misaya was a magical girl too...

What sort of magic?

[rewindingly]

If I wish to do something and have the magical power to support it, a magical girl may generally do as she pleases. I limited by my personal magical power, but I can make up for it and will therefore not be getting in your way.

[puppy_lancer]

I was kind asking you about the type of magic you have. Like, runes or summoning. Stuff like that.
