[x]"Hi! I'm Sabrina. I don't think we've met yet."
[x]"You're Homura...right? I guess you handled the Witch."
[x]Calm. Poker face. Maximum poker face. Try and sound calm/inquisitive/cheerful in order of decreasing importance.
[x]Mami probably won't go guns-blazing this early, but try and interrupt if she starts going full canon with veiled threats or things deteriorate.
[x]Don't say anything about the facts yet. This isn't the time.

She's probably gone through this same set of circumstances so many times she's lost count and she's never seen us appear before.

Hmm I wonder if that refers to:
Now besides Homura who else could that refer to if it's only true from certain perspectives?

He probably means new magical girls as in freshly contracted.
Unforeseen Consequences pt. 8
The tableau holds in silence for a long moment: Mami with a disapproving frown, Sayaka standing just in front of Madoka, one hand out as it to shield Madoka. Homura's gaze shifts from you, to Madoka, to Mami, and then back.
Silence, save the background murmurings of the city continuing on its course.
You clear your throat, breaking the quiet. "Hi!" you say brightly. Homura's gaze snaps to you, pinning you under her violet eyes. Privately, you can believe that she's been fighting this same fight for years, for more than a decade. You can believe that she's seen it all, lost it all, and then come back for another round.
Outwardly, you show nothing of your thoughts, continuing blithely, "I'm Sabrina. I... don't think we've met before. You're Akemi Homura, correct?"
Homura doesn't react, apart from a faint frown creasing her forehead. Mami, by contrast, steps forward, putting a warning hand on your shoulder. "Sabrina, I don't think-"
"Yes, I am," Homura interrupts, gaze still fixed on you. She doesn't smile, exactly, but her frown smooths out, giving her a neutral if not friendly expression, and her lips curl in the semblance of a smile. "Sabrina, may I have a word with you?"

As always, tone and stuff. Write in a few points you'd like covered in any ensuing conversation.
Also, Homura can smile. I was rewatching Episode 2 to check some stuff, and she smiles apologetically when she turns down two of her classmates.

I'd prefer to not introduce meta information here. Especially as it's likely to be rendered invalid rather quickly since the GM has been very clear our main opponent is a precog who will likely react to our meta attempts.
On the other hand Homura might not accept anything less than the truth.
I wonder if she thinks that eliminating the uncontrolled variable is better, or if she thinks that a new variable is something she needs to break out of her rut of failure.

She probably won't go full Murderface on us when it'd provoke Mami, traumatize Madoka, and generally ruin the loop this early. Probably. Homura is probably the first person we can and should drop meta information on- but maybe not quite yet since eavesdropping may be an issue.
I'm almost certain the smile is a mask.
[x]"Thank you, Mami, but I...I'll be careful. I'll shout if I need help, okay?"
[x]Go off with Homura. Stay close to her and keep a careful eye on her.
-[x]Be direct. Try not to panic. No cheer, and with less inquisitiveness, even if she might have the answers. Homura might want to kill us and we know that. If she asks what we want or who we are, tell her "To not die/to solve the grief problem for magical girls" and "we don't know" respectively.
[x]If Homura doesn't start the conversation with her question...
-[x]Ask her, quietly, only if she doesn't actually say anything.
--[x]"Have we met before?"
--[x]"Are you going to kill me?"
--[x]If she pulls a gun or reaches for her shield, tackle her and call for help. We're dead otherwise, unless we try griefbending against one of the most dangerous characters in the setting.

Um if she decides to kill us don't we basically insta-die due to time shenanigans?
I'm not sure asking directly if she's going to kill us is the best way to go about this.

The last part of the vote is the "answer" to if that's the case, if and only if she doesn't ask us anything, doesn't tell us anything, and things are basically setting off all the alarm bells- and asking her that'd hopefully take her by surprise if nothing else. The vote's going down in order of priority/likelihood to happen anyway.
But yes, we're dead if we can't grab onto her or (ha) instantly learn to manipulate grief in another meguca.

Homura's Time Stop does have a small startup, so it's not instant death. It's slightly-delayed death!

Unforeseen Consequences pt. 9
You make a snap decision, despite a few doubts. "Yes, you may."
Mami's hand tightens for a moment on your shoulder. "Sabrina-"
You half turn, and smile at her. "Thank you Mami, but I'll be alri- I'll be careful. I'll shout if I need help, ok?"
Neither Mami nor Sayaka look happy with this decision, Sayaka in particular looking like she's bitten into a lemon. Madoka, by contrast, seems to have shrunken in on herself even more. Her gaze darts between you, Mami and Homura, while wringing her hand anxiously. "I- I'm sure Homura won't do anything to you, Sabrina."
Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Homura soften for a moment, her almost-smile becoming more natural.
"Hmph," is Sayaka's contribution, along with a continued glare at Homura. "I don't like it."
Mami's gentle smile looks strained, but she nods in acceptance. "Stay safe, Sabrina."
You roll your eyes at them. "She's right there, you know," you say, trying to inject a little humour to the situation. It falls flat, though, and Homura doesn't even react to it, so you just shake your head and walk over to her.
The violet eyed girl simply pivots and walks around the corner while pocketing the Grief Seed, with you following obligingly. You stay close to her, in hopes that if she attempts to attack you, you'll be able to subdue her for long enough to grab hold of her, and not get killed.
Homura faces you again when the two of you are out of earshot of the others. You can't help but quail a little -just a little- under her searching gaze. She doesn't seem to be inclined towards making a move for her weapons, though, and so you simply wait for her to say something.
Anything.
Just as you're about to crack and break the silence yourself, she finally deflates a little, relenting and glancing to the side. "Why are you here?"
You take a shuddering breath. "I- I want to not die. I want to solve the Grief problem for puella magi, or at least as far as I can," you say slowly, but with increasing confidence.
Her head tilts slightly. "Explain."
"My Wish was to be able to control Grief," you half-explain. That you are able to is an explanation without a motivation, but you hope she'll accept it.
"I... see," Homura murmurs neutrally. "Then you knew a magical girl before you contracted. Who?"
You grimace. "I- I don't know. I can't remember anything from a little while before Madoka and Sayaka found me," you admit uneasily. You find yourself brushing your shoulder length hair nervously.
"Walpurgisnacht is coming," Homura says, abruptly. "Do you know what that is?"

Just as well Madoka spoke up for you, really. Well, she spoke up for Homura, but y'know, same difference! Might have gone a little worse if she hadn't.
