[ 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?

[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.]

[rewindingly]

I understand. Saving everything is not a luxury we can be allowed to expect when dealing with such a large task. [ Though Homura wishes she could be saving everyone... ]

Especially in war.

...hm. I think we're on a similar wavelength, from the sounds of it.

[rewindingly]

I am unfamiliar with war situations. But I will do what I can.

Think of any crisis you've seen and add a lot of screaming, fire, death, and idiots obsessed with 'glory' or 'heroism' involving it.

Just watch yourself and don't get involved with morons like that, and you should do fine.
