This is quite the silly name you've picked out, ma'am. Though I suppose I can't complain, since it is a bit clever.

...that place, hm? Akemi-san and I aren't exactly on good terms in my "canon point," you remember? [ She quietly sighs before taking a sip of tea from the cup in her hands. ] So long as you fulfill all that's expected of you to let you do this, I suppose I'll do my best.

...You know, I think an unlimited supply of anything would work, especially if you're trying obliterate the enemy.

[braidstobows]

[Homura, at least this Homura, takes a moment before replying, considering several different possibilities that Mami may be referring to.]

I'd like to ask you what your mundane has in mind.

[unlimitedflintlockworks]

They are mostly unlimited, if you're referring to my muskets, so yes, they're quite useful.

[puppy_lancer]

Are they efficient, though?

[unlimitedflintlockworks]

[ She keeps a calm face, even managing a little smile. They didn't exactly leave off on good terms as far as she remembers, what with Homura being tied up and all, but she can still be cordial. ]

It appears I might be going to a terrible place that already has both you and Kyubey in it. Or, I will if all goes well.

[unlimitedflintlockworks]

I like to think my marksmanship makes them very efficient, so yes sir.

[braidstobows]

[Kyuubey. And who knows what timeline Mami comes from?]

If that creature will be there, you would be wise to be very careful in your dealings with him in the future. [Don't let him near innocents.]

[giftofthemagi]

Hm. It might not bode well for either of us if Homura is already there where you're going!

Well, for you and that other-me, anyway!

[unlimitedflintlockworks]

[ She pauses at that, then slowly smiles a bit more. ]

Thank you for the concern, Akemi-san.

[braidstobows]

[Frustrating. Does that mean Mami understands, or not? She has no way to tell without saying things Mami won't be ready to hear. She certainly knows that much, by long experience.]

Are any of the others likely to be there?

[unlimitedflintlockworks]

Akemi-san doesn't strike me as so unreasonable. Perhaps we can simply talk it over.

[ Provided Homura doesn't kill the Kyubey there at the first chance. ]

[unlimitedflintlockworks]

Right now, I can't tell and neither can this lady. From what I hear, Madoka-chan's been there several times, and Miki-san as well. The only one of us left there...is you, Akemi-san.

[giftofthemagi]

Perhaps. But it seems likely she has an agenda all her own. I'm sure she won't take kindly to another Puella Magi showing up in her new territory.

Please protect my other self, Mami!

[braidstobows]

[It's not the first time she's felt outside of them - outside of everything, really, outside of time and like nothing more than a visitor to the times and spaces the other puella magi inhabit.]

That's alright. I'm certain that she's capable of handling things there until your arrival.

[unlimitedflintlockworks]

Of course. Your other self won't have to worry.

[puppy_lancer]

Then why do you need an unlimited number of them?

[Confused Lancer is confused.]

I mean, it would only take one shot to bring an enemy down, right? Or are you fighting against entire armies at a time?

[unlimitedflintlockworks]

Given your skills, I'm sure she's holding her own rather well.

[giftofthemagi]

Wouldn't it make more sense to be more careful around those who've proven themselves to be violent?

[unlimitedflintlockworks]

They only fire one shot each, so more than one is necessary to get the job done. My aim is not always perfect as well, depending on the environmental factors.

[braidstobows]

[She's surprised to hear praise from Mami. To say they hadn't been on good terms at some points had been a drastic tasteful understatement. For just a second, the smallest of smiles flickers on her lips.

In her timeline, she's had a taste of working together, and she likes it.]

I'm certain she'll be wishing to return to Kaname-san's side.

[giftofthemagi]

Thank you, Mami! I can always depend on you.

[braidstobows]

[There is no describing how much she'd like to cut things short and end Kyuubey right here and now.

If only it were possible. She retains her composure.]

There are traits worse than violence. [Deception, for one.]

[giftofthemagi]

Irrational behavior as a whole comes to mind! You've yet to explain to Mami or the others just why you're trying to kill me.

[braidstobows]

Make no mistake: That explanation will come at the proper time.

[By now, she knows they need to learn for themselves first. She's made herself an outcast in every timeline where she's tried to warn them.

One advantage of her existence, of course, is that endless time to fix her mistakes.]

[unlimitedflintlockworks]

[ Whether they got along or not doesn't change the amount of respect a veteran Puella Magi deserves, and Mami recognizes Homura deserves quite a lot of it. ]

Perhaps so. I myself would be happy to see Madoka-chan again.
