You freeze up for a moment as you contemplate her offer. Living with Miki Sayaka is not something you've ever done, at least not under such friendly conditions. She and her family are likely to be somewhat obstructive to your work, as well, but...perhaps doing this will make it easier to understand in the future. That's not even mentioning the immediate access you will gain to Madoka's social circle...you nod. This is worth giving a chance. Maybe this will make a difference.
"Are you sure? I-I mean...really? I don't really want to live alone if I don't have to, and it would be nice to have someone to spend time with...are you sure your parents won't mind?"
Mentally you scoff. Miki's mother is one of the most pleasant people around. She'd never leave a young girl on her own if she could avoid it.
Sayaka replicates your internal sentiment, "Heh! Yeah right. Mom would kill me if I didn't bring you home with me, or at least find you a good place to live. Let's go, the train won't take us closer to home, so we might as well leg it...um, you're allowed to walk that far, right"
You blink, still trying to adjust to this side of Sayaka, before nodding, "Yes. I can walk as far as will be necessary."
Now she's the one blinking as you internally curse yourself. You keep slipping up, thanks to the surrealism of the situation.
Time to salvage this, "I...I mean, that's what the doctor said at least. So, I guess it should be fine? I'm cleared to attend Gym when I get into school too, so..."
You can see her frown for a moment before regaining her smile, "Heh, those doctors can sure be stiffs, huh?" She makes what you can deduce is her idea of a serious expression, "Yes. I can walk as far as will be necessary."
Smiling again, she throws an arm over your shoulder, sending a prickling sensation up the length of your back, 'Too close Sayaka...'
"Now, come on! I'll show you the way!"
With that, she grabs your wrist and begins leading you west, towards her home. You do your best to stumble along behind her, rather than simply picking her up and roofhopping your way there, as you'd prefer.
'This is going to be a long loop.'
...
After walking for a solid hour, you eventually reach the Miki residence. Sayaka has barely stopped speaking throughout the walk, telling you thing about the city that you learned...a long time ago.
She eventually drags you up to her front door, "So, come on in! Let me show you the place!"
She slips her key in the lock, casually popping the door open, "Mama, we're home!"
Footsteps echo from within as her mother steps out of a doorway, "Welcome home, Sayaka! Wait...we?" She glances at you, "Oh! Hello, are you one of Sayaka's friends?"
Recalling a certain incident involving Mami from a number of loops back, you easily blush, "Um...I-"
Sayaka cuts you off with a hair ruffle, "Yep, she sure is! This is Akemi Homura. She's new to town, just released from the hospital, and her parents have left her alone in the middle of the city. I told her she was coming to live with us."
Her mother smirks, "That's my girl." With that, she turns around and kneels down slightly to look you in the eye, "Nice to meet you, Homura-chan! Welcome home!"
A strange feeling runs through you at those words. You've had many homes over your lifetime, but...you find yourself smiling, "Thank you, Miki-san."
The woman ruffles your hair, much like her daughter before her, "Now, why don't you get moved in...oh, wait. The guest room's not ready. Would you mind staying with Sayaka tonight, Homura-chan? We can pick you up a bed tomorrow, but..."
You start to refuse, "N-no, it's fine. I can sleep on the-" The elder Miki is giving you a very familiar stubborn look. You know she won't budge now, "U..um, okay. I need to go shopping anyway..."
She smiles brightly, "Wonderful! Sayaka, why don't you give her the tour. The day's still young, so make sure you enjoy yourselves."
Sayaka nods, "Follow me, Homura-chan! Um...can I call you that?"
You almost snort, 'Better than "transfer student."'
"Um...sure. Can I call you Sayaka-chan?" She smiles brightly in response and nods before showing you around her home.
Eventually, the two of you find yourselves sitting on the couch, "So...now that you're here, what do you want to do? Where's your stuff, anyway?"
You stifle a groan as you try to find an explanation that doesn't involve magical shields, "...they had it moved to a storage building. I'll go pick it up later, after shopping."
She seems a bit unsure of that, not that you blame her. There is no good reason for you to be leaving without at least your laptop on your person. Despite that, she nods, "Oh...huh. Okay, we'll make sure we stop by. Now, like I said. It's you're big first day out, so what do you want to do?"

I'd say drop the video games. You'll be able to play them later, or choose to go to an arcade while shopping, but you might want to see your options in town before committing to anything. Music will be discussed on the way over.
We need to get some grief seeds soon, which means we need to either get some home made bombs done up or raid a base or something soon as well.

Edited! dat works?
Hm..... what do you think guys?
Driving is a Good Idea. I'd personally like to turn off the Heart Enchantment A.S.A.P. since we don't have any Seeds.

Sounds good to me. Vote edited.
Oh, and Higure: Is our pendulum in storage? Or will we need to purchase it each loop?

You don't actually have anything in storage in Mitakihara. That was pure BS to cover your lack of possessions on hand.
The pendulum is actually a magic construct. It has tangible benefits, but Homura also finds the sound comforting.

Mikimom is still best mom. And yes, for now not working on increase the heart performance works for now (Seriously we need to do something with it)

I'll tell you the details once I've gotten them worked out, but suffice it to say that it's an advanced form of Homura's natural magic.

Our Homura is in a substantially different situation from OTL's Homura. We have friendly relations with Sayaka, good social skills, and no Kyubey around to tempt her yet (remember that Sayaka isn't much of a prize for Kyubey, plus by Homura's standards a Sayaka contract is no great loss since Madoka's the main issue).
Whether we do it right now or later, I think we should start telling her about magic, starting by showing her some of Homura's own powers in secret. Most likely, we should be able to make her an ally who sees things our way and thus won't make a contract (even if Kyouske dies, because she knows what the price would have been). If things get REALLY lucky, we can start giving her the honest truth about previous timelines, at least to a degree (requires really good rolls by my estimation).

Technically a tie, but I'll use Crow's vote if the tie isn't broken in the next ten minutes, seeing as it doesn't conflict with the other winning vote.
