(Open/Intro) Sis Puella Magica
A young girl has found herself here, in the Velvet Room. She eyes Igor with a sharpness to her eyes, one that betrays the polite smile on her face.
"...The Velvet Room..."
She's never heard of such a place, and truth be told, she almost believes she's dreaming as she looks about the room, taking in the vivid blue surroundings.
...But she's seen things that are hard to believe for the normal person, and as such she raises a hand with a jeweled ring to her chin.
So it seems she was brought here to... what, make bonds? How ridiculous, she thinks to herself. It's not as though it'll do her any good. Making friends is the last thing on her mind, she has other things to consider, like her duties... and her boiling desire for revenge.
But betraying her dark thoughts, her smile grows slightly, looking oh so kind and pleasant in the face of this odd situation. She hums a bit quietly, tilting her head a bit, all with that smile.
"I see. Thank you. I'll be sure to do just that.
But she has other concerns as well. She needs to be able to fight Witches and gather Grief Seeds. Are there any here? Hell, is Kyubey even here? Not that she trusts him a single bit, but something familiar, something she can work with would be good.
But now... Now what? She's left to consider her options.
Option 1: Akechi finds herself drawn to the conspiracy board first thing, eyeing it with a small frown. Well, it seems that someone has gathered up plenty of information... A blessing, really, considering she can use all of the info she can get. Let's see... She gets to reading it, carefully trying to take in the information in front of her. Needless to say though, she's actually rather perplexed by... well. All of it.
Who is Ren Amamiya? Akira Kurusu? Souji Seta? Yu Narukami? It's all a but baffling, this information presented as though it's common knowledge. Clearly it isn't, given her own unfamiliarity with them.
But something catches her eyes... A note about Rens or Akiras and Akechis being soulmates.
Her expression is blank as she stares at it, her eyes becoming obscured as her bangs shift slightly inf front of them.
And what right does anyone have to make such bold, blatantly false claims? She's never met any such person in her life, and they certainly wouldn't be her soulmate if she had. She has no soulmate.
Option 2: She steps through one of the doors, and finds herself in Kichijoji... a familiar sight. For a second, she almost believes she's home... but she knows better than that, especially since the door back to the Velvet Room is right behind her.
Her eyes narrow as she watches the various cognitions passing by, each of them seeming... off. Those uncanny smiles, the blank look in their eyes... Each of them reminding her a little too much of someone affected by a Witch's Kiss. There seem to be no signs of anyone actually being affected by one though, so... what is this?
She could try to sense for magic in the air, but... well, she's surrounded by people, and it would be foolish to let her secret slip so easily.
Her hand with the blue-jeweled ring is clenched slightly, and she considers ducking into an alleyway in order to conjure up her Soul Gem.
Option 3: As Akechi wanders about Tokyo, she finds herself near Shibuya, another familiar sight. She doesn't visit Shibuya incredibly often, but she's been there enough to at least feel vaguely comforted by the familiarity.
She steps into one of the many stores, frowning a bit as she considers the fact that her finances are limited. She didn't bring a ton of money with her when she was leaving home. That said though... Her eyes shift towards the various cognitions going too and from the counter. She gets the strange sense that the cognitions aren't particularly attentive... Hmm.
But theft would be unbecoming of the Detective Princess.

Option 1
Still, he'd be pleasantly surprised to see someone entirely new within the Velvet Room - well, someone somewhat new.
"Would it be correct to assume you're also an Akechi?"
no subject
"Yes, that would be correct. Though, it seems I'm rather different than the majority of them here..."
'Goro Akechi'... That's already a big difference. She also doesn't know most of the things the board is going on about, which also doesn't help with the differences.
"I'm quite curious though, I wonder why there are so many Akechis present..."
But that's not as important as the person in front of her, who she's not sure about.
"And you? To whom do I owe the pleasure?"
no subject
"...You seem different from the others, for more reasons than the obvious." He tilted his head. She had no recognition of him... perhaps he was a she in this Akechi's universe. Or perhaps they had never met.
"The reason so many Akechis are here... I assume it's Igor's way of 'convincing' you, them, to form bonds with others. Compared to the others I've met, Akechis have always had difficulty with developing relationships."
no subject
But she doesn't comment on that, naturally, instead politely nodding, and holding out a hand for a handshake.
"Akira... It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Kiri."
She's definitely going to keep the name tucked away in the back of her head though, that's for sure.
As for why there are so many of them here... Seriously? It's not like she needs any bonds. Not with... well, everything.
She already accepted that it's not meant to be a long time ago, and now she frankly doesn't care about bonding with others. All she needs is to fulfill her revenge.
...Perhaps that's why she's so successful as a Magical Girl, the fact that she's at heart, a loner.
"Is that so? I suppose I am rather busy, what with being a detective and needing to attend school... but I wouldn't say I have a difficult time bonding with people."
But if Akira knows Akechi at all, he can probably tell that this one is hiding behind a pleasant facade. The look in her eyes betrays her sweet tone just enough.
no subject
"Don't worry, I'm not here to ask you out on a date or anything like that. I'm lost here, like you. And if I know anything about Akechis, is that they're skilled at solving problems... and not so great at forming connections." That look in her eyes... it was the same as when he first met Akechi.
"There's no need to use a metaphorical mask here."
