[Kyoko has consumed quite a bit of pineapple juice by now, as well as some orange juice. And lots of food. Hey, this is Kyoko. She loves free food.]

[Humming contentedly, she walks around the dance hall, every so often making a beeline for the refreshment table. Eventually she gives up and just stays there, hovering around it and occasionally taking food.]

[alchemistsquery]

[Alfimi approaches, happy to see someone she knows.] Kyoko! Hello~!

[stayedwithher]

[Kyoko smiles at the other girl's approach; Alfimi had earned her respect in their sparring match]

Hi there, Alfimi!

[alchemistsquery]

[Alfimi smiles.] Are you having fun? I think this is a good party. There is plenty of delicious things to eat and a lot of great people.

[stayedwithher]

Mmhmm! There's definitely a lot of delicious food~!

[one track mind much, Kyoko? She's gnawing on a shrimp skewer as she talks.]

[heartovertime]

[And one of those times Kyoko wanders over to the tables, Homura is there, a cup of orange juice in hand to refresh herself. Somehow it's more refreshing than water, even if it is quite sweet.

Spotting the girl coming over, Homura's normal reaction would be to attempt to avoid her, just in case, but this time...she doesn't really feel worried. In fact she feels just fine and smiles lightly.]

Ah, Sakura-san? Good day.

[stayedwithher]

[Kyoko's also had a fair amount of orange juice in her system. As well as every other available drink. And lots of food. So she's more amiable than normal as well. She grins at Homura]

Hi there, Homura~!

[heartovertime]

[That's a little unusual, but she barely notices it. Nothing feels like it could be all that wrong right now, though she doesn't know why.] Are you enjoying all the food here? You're always eating something, now that I think about it...

[stayedwithher]

Yep! I do like to eat, and the food here is pretty delicious~

[heartovertime]

It is, isn't it? I don't think I've had something that's made me feel this well in a while. I guess we really did need this kind of party.

[stayedwithher]

I agree! This is great~

[she laughs cheerfully, clapping Homura on the shoulder in a friendly gesture]

[heartovertime]

[Briefly, Homura looks a bit surprised at the contact, but quickly that fades as she returns to a relaxed smile.]

I never thought I'd find myself talking to you like this.

[stayedwithher]

...Honestly, me either. I'm just so relaxed tonight, I guess.

[heartovertime]

[A somehow amusing thought crosses Homura's mind, as might be evidenced by a couple politely stifled giggles.] It's still strange to think that you found me intimidating somehow... [Even if it had been her in the future...]

[stayedwithher]

[Kyoko raises an eyebrow at that]

Well, with how you are now, yeah, but you turned into a real ice queen somehow. Man, what happened?

[heartovertime]

...I don't know why.

[As content as she feels, she's not going to just spill her secrets. But even so, it is the truth. She only knows what Madoka has told her; it's not like she's had a chance to talk to herself, to find out more. Maybe she'd never know.

She takes another sip from her orange juice though, to show she has nothing more to add to that.]
