[ Video ]
[ 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?

If they have, they didn't announce it like you did. I did see some girls of the same age range as you. It's a possibility, but they might've been recruited for other things than being magical girls.

[Deimonea's world, sadly enough, was one where magical girls had already been used in war, so she took it for granted.]

[rewindingly]

I see. I believe it may be in our best interest to keep an eye on them. If girls from my world should be exposed to this place then we may find ourselves with more problems than desired.

[phobophage]

What problems'd those be?

[rewindingly]

It is quite complicated. They should simply be observed to be sure they adjust.

[phobophage]

Because if it gets bad enough they might turn to the side of despair?

[rewindingly]

... Mm. That is the way to put it.

[phobophage]

I'm not that good at making people feel better, but I know what the signs look like. I'll look out for that.

[rewindingly]

Good. I appreciate it.

[phobophage]

I've seen the mess that can result when a magical girl goes over to the other side. At least they usually can be brought back..

[rewindingly]

Hm. Can they?

[ Homura doesn't believe it. ]

The joys of different worlds with different magical girl mechanisms.

[phobophage]

Oh, sure, though it's not always easy.

They need to have magical girl chat time

[rewindingly]

It would be nice if it was always possible.

Indeed.

[phobophage]

Yes, it'd be.
