[ Madoka sounds a little bit unsure when the message starts - perhaps even more unsure than unusual. There's even a slight silence at first, as if she isn't sure how to start about this. But then after those few moments she does speak up, although a bit slowly and hesitantly. ]

... Um.. Sorry to ask this, but I was wondering if anyone has seen Homura-chan around. A-ah, that would be Homura Akemi. For those of you who don't know her, she's about my age, and she has really long black hair and dark purple-like eyes.

[ She takes a deep breath. ]

Y.. you see, I wasn't able to find her anywhere this morning, so I thought she might have gone out on her own.. But since she didn't tell me anything, I looked across the village to make sure, but.. [ her tone drops a little. ] I couldn't find her anywhere by myself..

So I'm sorry to bother all of you with this, but if you've seen her around, then.. please tell me. I would be really grateful, so.. hmm, thank you.

Come to think of it, I haven't spoken with her since a long time ago.

[Which... often means... But Ami's own tendency to shyness makes it quite possible she'd simply missed those chances.]

[Voice]

[happyends]

A.. ah, are you one of Homura-chan's friends..?

[ Madoka, so naive, assuming Homura has friends.. but okay. ]

Well, I saw her only a little while ago, but it's still weird she's gone out of nowhere, right?

[Voice]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

If it's not possible that she'd go without saying something to you, it's possible that she was sent home.

[Voice]

[happyends]

I guess that's.. part of the problem. [ her tone turns unsure again. ] I think Homura-chan would at least tell me, but.. I'm not entirely sure, maybe it was really important..

[Voice]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

If you can't be sure, let's at least look for her. You should do everything you can.

[bamfing]

[... that sounds familiar. And wasn't she the one wanting her friend to vanish? That's some cruel irony.]

Well... maybe she was kidnapped. [... which, well, is actually worse than getting sent home.]

[happyends]

[ Madoka nods a little to herself at that - she didn't per se think that Homura was sent home just yet, but.. ]

I.. don't know what happened to her, but.. I just hope Homura-chan is okay..

[bamfing]

I know what you mean... hey, do you two live together?

[happyends]

Yes, that's right. Homura-chan moved in with me a little while ago, after Mami-san disappeared from this place.. That was why I was a little surprised that she wasn't there.

[Voice] DID SOME CALL FOR A TOUMAN RESCUE?

[kamiyandisease.livejournal.com]

[He sort of knows Homura himself and remembers that she mentioned her best friend was around. Hmm... This could be a problem.]

Eh? You haven't seen Homu Homu around at all? Are you sure you checked every place that she would go to?

[Voice] TOUUUMAAAN RESCUE!!

[happyends]

H.. Homu Homu..? [ She can't help but repeat it a little surprised, what kind of nickname is that.. ]

And I think I did.. I-I'm not sure though, maybe it was just bad timing that we didn't run into each other..

[Voice]

[kamiyandisease.livejournal.com]

I think it suits her. What do you think? [GOSH why don't they admire his awesome knack for nicknames?]

Hmm... You think that she would've left you a note or something if she was going out anywhere. Then again, she always striked me as the 'Dark Hero' type of character.

[Voice]

[happyends]

Well, it does sound sort of cute, but.. [ an awkward giggle. ] I'm not sure if Homura-chan would like it.

'Dark Hero'..? I'm not sure what that means, but.. w-well, Homura-chan and I are friends, so.. I thought she would at least have told me.

[Voice]

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

I've never met the girl in question, but if you need help finding her, Madoka, I'll do my best for you.

[After all, it was only fair.]

[Voice]

[happyends]

Ah.. You're Florina-san's friend, right? [ She quickly nods, remebering the girl from last time. ]

Your help would really be appreciated, thank you.. I'm sorry if it's too mcuh of a bother though.

[Voice]

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

It wasn't a bother for you to help me, was it? Don't worry. If she's here, we'll find her.

[Voice]

[happyends]

N-.. not at all! I'm sorry if I gave off the wrong impression like that, I really was glad that I was able to help you out back then..

And.. thank you. I'm a little worried, to be honest..

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

That lion girl is your friend?

voice.

[happyends]

[ ... oh. Yes, Madoka remembers that too, so she sounds a little awkward as she speaks up. ]

E.. ehehe, yes. Although Homura-chan usually isn't anything like a lion, you see..

voice.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Good for her. It isn't right to go around trying to eat people.

voice.

[happyends]

A.. ah, please don't worry..! Homura-chan normally doesn't eat anyone at all, so please forgive her if she said something like that, o-or--

[ okay, Madoka, calm down and breathe. ]

It was because of.. um, that experiment, you see..?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

[... oh. That doesn't sound good...]

Is... are her things still there in her room?

[Voice]

[happyends]

N.. no, they're.. not.

[ And she sounds a bit dejected at that, because.. well, even Madoka knows what that much means. ]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... oh. I'm sorry...

[Voice]

[happyends]

I-it's okay, don't worry. It's better for Homura-chan to be back home rather than stuck here, right..? So it's all fine.

[ even if she would definitely miss the girl - little does Madoka know she'll return soon enough, but.. ]
