7th Cycle [voice -> video]

[contract_this]

U-Um... hello. Can anybody hear me?

[whoever this person is couldn't sound any more meek, or frail.]

My name is Akemi H-Homura. I was supposed to start school today, b-but I've... gotten lost.

Could anybody, umm, please tell me how to get back? I-I'm already late and-

[ Perhaps it's a good thing she had seen that dream of Homura's, and even received that explanation, because.. it somewhat eases the shock. So does the fact she knows other people changed too, but it it's still enough to make Kyouko pause a few moments and blink, her expression utter surprise. ]

[ And she doesn't know why, but.. god, she can't stand to watch Homura being that helpless, and if anyone should help her out it's Kyouko, right? Yeah, it's obvious, don't think too much of it and all!! ]

Sorry, but you won't be going to school anytime soon. [ She's much less harsh than usual - be grateful. n_n ] ... I'll help you out though.

[contract_this]

E-Eh? But... I was finally supposed to... I-I finally got better, and...

[it looks like she's about to start crying.]

[video]

[selfished]

[ There's a pause and.. she just sighs, frowning a little. ]

Listen up, can you describe what it looks like where you are right now?

[video]

[contract_this]

I see a dock, a-and a few other smaller buildings...

Where am I...? I-I don't like this. I want to go home.

[still sounds like on the point of tears.]

[video]

[selfished]

I'm sorry, but you can't go home right now, okay? We're all more or less stuck in this place.

Just wait there a moment, I'll come and get you.

[video]

[contract_this]

But...

A-Alright. Umm, thank you, for being able to come here...

[selfished]

That isn't anything to thank me over. [ It's more a mumble, but she shuts off the feed either way, making her way over to where Homura is, still with that slight frown on her face. ]

[action]

[contract_this]

[meanwhile, she just stands in the same spot, waiting. honestly, she's too afraid to do much of anything right now...]

[ moemura gonna moe..

Either way, Kyouko arrives after just a few moments - it wasn't like she was hurrying because she was worried or anything, don't misunderstand!! - and walks up to the other girl. ]

... Hey, are you okay? [ she's a little unsure what to say in this situation.. awkward. ]

[action]

[contract_this]

A-Ah... yes, I'm fine, so far.

[she briefly makes eye contact with the red head, before quickly looking away]

U-Um... thank you again, for doing this.

[action]

[selfished]

[ Why is Homura so moe.. How is she supposed to handle this!! ]

It's only natural. We're partners. [ Even if this Homura might not remember. Maybe she's just stating it for her own peace of mind. ]

Let's at least go somewhere safe. That, or get something to eat.

[action]

[contract_this]

P-Partners? But I...

[she's even more confused now, but she figures getting somewhere safe takes priority.]

Yes, um... please, lead the way, miss.

[action]

[selfished]

[ She just forcibly grabs Homura's hand - what is tact - since otherwise it would take too long for the girl to go along either way. ]

Here, let's go to the inn for now. [ And she starts walking, dragging her along. ]

[action]

[contract_this]

[oh, she's holding her hand. be still her beating heart.]

U-Um... What is your name...?

[action]

[selfished]

[ suddenly lesbians.. ]

... Kyouko. Sakura Kyouko. Ya haven't heard of me before?

[ Might as well fetch as much information as she can from moemura while it lasts while watching over her. ]
