1st ♥ [ video / action ]

[ Action ♥ Residents of Room 02-05 ]
[ Homura woke with a start. Last she remembers, she was going to sleep and expecting to attend her new school tomorrow. Fresh from one timeline to the next. Her determination is worn plainly on her face, overtaking the confusion that comes with waking in a new environment. Adjusting all too quickly, she slips out of the bed and snatches up the letters. Reading the first one, rereading those simple words over and over, before finally lowering the paper. ]
This can't be.... [ Her heart drops like a rock. That can't be. It makes no sense!

... But it does, actually, doesn't it? After seeing Madoka's soul gem taint again, it makes sense. Homura covers her face, sobbing into her hands for only a few seconds before drawing in a deep breath. ] Madoka... Everyone... [ She has yet to notice her roommates as she tries to wipe her eyes and get a grip. ]

[ A calm facial expression betrays Homura's feelings. True, she's gathered some courage to keep herself relatively calm, but her heart has been ripped to shreds by this possibility. Even so, there's still hope. She reminds herself, over and over, that it's not over yet. ]
I am Homura Akemi. I am a new arrival. I have read both of my letters and have an understanding of the situation.

 [ A pause. Debating. She never properly "started" her last timeline beyond being released from the hospital, so if the other girls are here then they might not recognize her. Calling out their names would be strange. ] I am from Mitaikihara in Japan. I'd like to know if anyone from home has also been 'saved'.

[ She brushes her hair behind her shoulder, a seemingly confident gesture that is actually just a nervous tick. ] How long have you all been here? And how many of you believe that letter?

It is nice to meet you as well, Fujisaki Chihiro. Have you been well enough during your stay in this tower?

[cutestprogrammer]

Mnn... well... it was a little difficult last month because there was no electricity or food... but... I'm doing much better now!

[rewindingly]

Is that a common occurrence here?

[cutestprogrammer]

Sorry, I don't know... I've only been here a little more than a month and the disappearance lasted for a whole month.

[rewindingly]

I see...

Still, a month is longer than my mere few hours. Any information is appreciated.

[cutestprogrammer]

I-I'll help you any way I can! What kind of information do you need?

[rewindingly]

I do not have specific questions yet. I am simply trying to get an idea of what I am to expect here.

[cutestprogrammer]

I see. Mnn... so what have you done here so far?

[rewindingly]

I have located two residents of my home world and made contact with them. Other than that, I've only looked around my room and found this computer.

Is there more I should be doing?

[cutestprogrammer]

Let's see... ah, have you eaten anything yet? You have to eat the oatmeal before eating anything else or you'll get sick.

[rewindingly]

Oatmeal? Is there a logical reason for that, or is it simply a curious rule?

[cutestprogrammer]

It's just a curious rule... IT have to eat first or you'll just throw up anything you eat...
