[Voice;]

H...How...

[Homura pauses, trying to find her voice. The camera is slightly obscured, but it's obvious she is wearing some form of a lion costume (minus the medal). Yes not even she is safe from the experiment and has been turned into the Lion from Oz. She has been hiding from much of the village since this began, too terrified to even get on the journals until now.

The girl takes a deep breath and asks, in a rather rushed voice-]

How does one learn to brave? I want to be brave like a lot of other people here, but I don't know how. I heard there might be a wizard who can give me bravery, but I don't know where he is. And I'm too frightened to go out to find him alone...

...That was all. Thank you!

[Action;]

[After making that post, Homura decided that she is going to try going out again. Maybe she can meet someone who knows where the Wizard of Oz is! ...Yet when she goes out, she is unable to even go on the main path of the village, too terrified of all the strange people.

So, she'll likely be found hiding. Crouching behind bushes, looking around from behind tree and buildings and all sorts of places. It isn't that she doesn't want to talk -- she's just too damn cowardly.]

[Homura opens her mouth to say something back, but quickly closes it. Right. Madoka doesn't know about everything that happened. The girl shouldn't have to know either. She needs to be brave and fight for her friend, even if it is alone.]

I think you're brave either way. To accompany the others on such dangerous missions and cheer them on, risking your own safety. It is a very brave thing to do.

I will. Just make sure the food is good, wherever you are leading me to.

I've been here...since May.

[And now it's October. That causes her some worry, but she's too affected to really care right now.]

[kamiyandisease.livejournal.com]

May? That's... seriously a long time! You aren't here all alone, are you?

I don't know if it's good, but you can eat all you want. [He starts walking, then, continuing on his way toward the plaza. If his brother wasn't terrified of cats, he'd take her to eat there, because he actually cooks pretty well. Alas!]

[bamfing]

Well, if you don't mind me spoiling the ending, I think the wizard will just tell you that you had the courage inside you all along.

[ She would protest more, but.. she can't bring herself to, not now. So she just smiles a little, but contently, at the other girl. ]

Thank you, Homura-chan. Then for now we can agree we're both brave in our own way, right..?

[chronica.livejournal.com]

Ah...no. My best friend is here too. Even though... [She won't continue. She doesn't want Madoka here, but it's really the only option.]

[ action ]

[chronica.livejournal.com]

...Yes. We are. Both of us are.

[...]

Thank you.

[wow rude kurt, spoiling the ending!!]

Courage inside of me? [Is that true? Would that really be what the Wizard says.] Are you sure? That he would say that? Do you know him?

[She's the least frightening giant cat girl in the world and would probably be more afraid of his brother than the other way around.

She'll follow along, starting some awkward silence as he leads her.]

[Touma has no idea what her circumstances are, but he'll throw up his offer to her.]

... I can understand if you don't want them in a place like this. I'm searching for another way out of here myself, so...

If you want, I can help you break out of here with your best friend included. That way you guys can go back home. Your parents are probably worried about you.

[bamfing]

... yeah! Sure. I mean... not very well. But I know he'd say that.

[ action ]

[happyends]

Ah.. No, you don't have to thank me for anything. Or rather, I have to thank you too, so they cancel each other out, more or less.

I'll do my best to not leave here without you, no matter what.

[chronica.livejournal.com]

[what parents, no one has parents but meduka!!]

You...don't need to make promises like that. I'll become brave and get out without needing help.

[chronica.livejournal.com]

[...She nods.]

The Wizard is supposed to be a strange person, so maybe he would say something strange like that.

[Plus Kurt looks like a magical creature that would probably be pals with the Wizard anyway.]

[bamfing]

... exactly! So, you'll be alright.

[And he'll be taking off shortly. But before he does...]

Anyway, I'm Kurt.

[chronica.livejournal.com]

[...She smiles. He really was nice, despite his appearance.]

I'm Homura.

[bamfing]

Homura, got it. I'll see you around, yeah? Good luck with the courage thing.

[chronica.livejournal.com]

[She nods quickly.]

Thank you! I'll do my best.

[bamfing]

[He gives a small wave and steps away. And then vanishes with a bright flash and a puff of smoke. Yeah. That's a thing he does.]

[OH BOY HERE WE GO.]

Even so, I still want to help you out somehow. My offer is always up if you ever want to reconsider. [We'll be approaching his home now!]

[Action]

[chronica.livejournal.com]

Ah...okay...if you insist.

[She doesn't get you at all dude.]

[Touma's weird logic is always absolute. With that said, he'll be opening the door for her and whenever she's in, he'll be off to the kitchen.]

Would you like some tea or something to start things off?

[Elliot doesn't mind quiet too much—his servant was usually pretty quiet, after all—but keeping his own mouth shut is something he has quite a bit of difficulty doing, so the awkward silence won't last for long.]

You haven't been going around trying to eat people, have you?
