Backdated [ 19th ] Video

[rewindingly]

[ The video shows Homura at a library terminal. Her ring is visibly on her finger as she runs her hands through her hair, purposefully displaying it in hopes of attracting the attention of fellow Puella Magi. Then she sets her hand down again. ]

My name is Homura A-- [ She stops, remembering Moemura is here. She doesn't want to shock her with that information. ] --- Homura... I would like to speak to anyone who may be experienced with or presently in possession of firearms. I am in need of assistance regarding the subject matter. I am also curious to know if anyone may assist me in obtaining certain chemicals and 'parts' that I need for 'something'. I thank you for your cooperation.

[ She bows her head and shifts her gaze to a small object she has set by the terminal. Her last remaining Grief Seed. ]

I am aware that someone here may have the ability to "purify" soiled objects. If you are such a person and at all willing, I would like to request a face to face conversation with you regarding a matter of concern for myself and a select few others. [ On the note of those others...

Homura tries not to let her expression falter, but it's difficult. She's very worried as she goes on, though successfully masks her concern. ]

Madoka-san, Sayaka-san, Kyoko-san. If you hear this, please respond. And if you would be so kind, allow me to see your soul gem. A lot has happened and we must keep them clean in order to be effective in this environment.

[Rei had chosen an option that did not show her face because her current appearance might unnerve others]

Did someone say firearms?

[rewindingly]

Yes. Are you knowledgeable in the subject?

vidya only for you, homu

[heartfeltfancy]

Mmm, I'm here. [She shuffles a bit off-camera, and holds her ring finger into view. It's not that dirty, surprisingly.]

rabu...!

[rewindingly]

Mado-- [ She feels herself about to choke up. Seeing Madoka is painful now. Seeing her inability to protect her best friend so plainly hurts. She breathes in. ] Madoka-san. Mm. Thank you. That was all I needed to know.

[ Lies lies lieees.

She's so worried about you, Madoka! ]

[oforder]

I do not use them myself.

[ ... not that he really needs them. This is a guy who warped space-time to the point of reducing an entire planet to subatomic scale to stop a Gnosis incursion. ]

However, if you would like, I know somebody who does. She is an android, however. Will this be a problem?

[rewindingly]

It will not be a problem at all. Thank you for the reference. What is she called?

*Enoch was lucky enough to see this, with these things vanishing at random.*

I'm willing to meet with you, Homura. Did something happen?

*If someone's in danger of becoming a Witch because of his stress-induced oversight he'll just feel terrible...*

[rewindingly]

Are you able to meet with me in regards to purification?

[chronomancer]

i knoww a thing or twwo about firearms
wwhat do you need help wwith?

[rewindingly]

Maintenance.

[ Homura has never had to keep the same weapons for so long. Usually she just steals replacements. ]

[video]

[prayed]

[Kyoko holds her hand up, displaying her Soul Gem. It glows brightly. It's in a frozen state in the Tower, though she has yet to realize that fact.]

I brought back up with me, but it really sucks being out of a job, y'know.

[video]

[rewindingly]

It would only be hazardous to our stay if the other girls became witches. This tower has enough excitement already.

[ AKA: Homura hates seeing girls fall into despair. ]

[starofpleiades]

Purify... do you mean Enoch? He's the one who can clean Soul Gems here.

[rewindingly]

Is that so...? Yes. That must be who I am looking for.

Thank you... Kazumi-san?

[kosmic_angel]

[KOS-MOS quickly enters in a command to begin a video transmission and looks over Homura silently for a moment.]

Wilhelm has informed me that you require assistance. What can I do to help you?

[video]

[rewindingly]

ah- KOS-MOS-san, is it?

video

[selfinteresting]

What do you need help with regarding firearms?

video

[rewindingly]

Maintenance. Making what bullets remain last.

Are you good with either of those areas?

Video

[technologic]

Guns, huh? Well, I've got a couple of mine here and I've got a few years experience with them. What do you need help with?

Video

[rewindingly]

Maintaining them for the long term. Making sure my supplies last.

Can you help?

[Video] Replies will be slow because I have no net at home :(

[dialectics]

We have experience with Geth and all Turian, Asari, Salarian, Human, and Krogan firearms. If you are in need of assistance, we can help.

[ Yo sup I'm a flashlight head robot. ]

[rewindingly]

[ She has seen witches that are stranger, but her insides still twist coldly at the sight. ]

I apologize for my ignorance, but I only know of human firearms. I would appreciate any insight that you can offer.

video.

[carrythesin]

Firearms?

[rewindingly]

Mm. You're familiar with them, correct?

[ She saw some being used in the fight with Hei's shadow, anyway. ]

SOB I'M SO LATE pretend this was icly on time

[beknightedheroine]

<sub>[She wouldn't normally speak about soul gems this publicly... but Homura's already called her out, so it's already too late. Bristling at her about it would just call more attention to the situation. ...Blech.

Sayaka turns on the video, with a somewhat impassive expression as she works the ring from her finger.]</sub>

I've gotten better at it, and it's been pretty quiet since, uh, the turn of the month - _{[--There. She flicks the ring with her decorated nail, and it quickly turns into a gem in response.]} - so it's pretty much the same place it always starts at.

it's okay! ;u; Glad to see you back!

[rewindingly]

Good. Thank you, Miki Sayaka. That's all that I needed to know. I will not keep you any longer, then.

[ Wow, talk about social. ]
