[nottheshoe]

...Um there are kinda witches?

I'm a wizard so...

[......]

Are you sure you're Homura?

[prefaust]

Oh, no, not those kinds of witches- I'm sorry, it's hard to explain. I'm not sure I'm supposed to explain at all, but if I'm stuck here, I really need to find some...

Y-yes, I am! [she fidgets and looks embarrassed.] You... called me by my first name...

[nottheshoe]

Of course I'd call you by your first name--

Also you realize that you can just dream up pipe bombs here.

[...a short pause]

Not that you should. Or you need to.

[THIS GIRL LOOKS LIKE SHE COULD HURT HERSELF]

[prefaust]

Um, no, it's just strange. Nobody calls me by my first name except for Kaname-san...

Oh! I-I can? [she pauses and frowns after a moment.] Okay, but, um, if I go home, I'm going to need to know how to make them, so... I think I should learn. I was just going to look it up on the internet, but now...

[Did someone say pipe bombs? Sephiroth is tiny, but well informed.]

I can assist you. I have been trained in the construction of improvised explosive devices.

[Oh yes, there were other queries as well.]

I am unfamiliar with Witches. Local incidence of suicide unknown.

Threadjacking okay, yes?

[not_puppet]

Sephiroth.

No.

You do not teach random people you don't know, especially other kids, how to make destructive devices.

Very okay! Threadjack at will.

[pinnaculum]

[Whoa there, Cloud, you do not have the clearance to boss Sephiroth (in his mind). :3]

It is possible she may shortly need this information for offensive or defensive purposes. It was designated important.

If she attempts construction on her own or receives improper instruction, she could be injured.

[not_puppet]

Neither of you should be making explosives at all in the first place!

[megid0_maiden]

Oh, hello Homura. If you're younger you might not remember me but we've spoken before.

To answer your questions...I'm pretty sure there aren't any Witches here. And dying here tends to be unpleasant when it comes to bringing us back so I doubt anyone's been committing suicide either.

Do you have someone there to look after you if you're scared?

[prefaust]

I don't remember you, I'm sorry...

Oh. Okay, um, thank you. I- Well, there are other people in the house, so I'm not alone... But I don't really know anyone here.

[megid0_maiden]

That's okay. I thought that would be the case. My name is Aradia.

Plenty of people are nice here, even if you don't know them. Or I could come and find you if you prefer?

[prefaust]

It's nice to meet you, Aradia...

Ah - thank you very much, but I... I think I'm okay. This seems like... Um, well, I think it's my room? There are some things here that seem like they're mine, so I suppose I'm safe here.

[abetenoire]

[ He wafts a brow. ] ...and why would you need to learn how to make pipe bombs?

locked.

[prefaust]

[she fidgets a lot and glances away.] Um, I'm not supposed to say... Miss Nike said n-not to tell anyone else. But I need to know for if I ever get home... and, er, if I ever have to fight here, I suppose.

locked.

[abetenoire]

[ Notices. He's still severely skeptical about this. It's just a little strange, after all. ] But you'll have to tell, or give, me something in return for such a service... everything comes at a price. Especially in a situation like this.

locked.

[prefaust]

I... Um, it really is just for defence, I swear! I-I have to fight sometimes, it's my duty to stop Witches, and I really can't say anything else, I'm very sorry, sir! But I just... need a weapon, that's all, and explosives are very powerful, so...

[everything comes at a price. oh, how this is making her uncomfortable. but she tries not to make assumptions about people, and it's not like he could know about her Faustian contract, so she should just calm down.]

[audio]

[auto_enthusiast]

I could tech you, but the scale might be a little off~.

[prefaust]

Um... That's okay, I think someone else is going to teach me. Thank you for the offer, though, sir...

[auto_enthusiast]

[He laughs, an incongruously pleasant laugh for someone who just offered to teach a little girl how to make pipe bombs.]

You're quite welcome. Do let me know if you change your mind?

And if you don't mind me asking, why do you need to know?

[prefaust]

I-I will! Um, it's... In case I have to fight something, I want to have a good weapon. And, well, it's a lot easier if I know how to make them myself...
