(Suddenly, a 7'3 snake centipede hybrid comes from the ground, with a lot of dirt on his head) ..well...time to make a new tunneling route I guess...

A tall man with dark silver hair and an eyepatch walks in with some sort of steampunk fashioned Purple dress both look around looking around once inside and see the counter and both Zeke and pandoria walk over to the counter "So, may I ask if this is some place of service? Out of curiosity to ask." P:Yeah we got no clue where is what now.

An almost naked witch wakes into the cafe ominously and sings a familar tune "SomeBODY once told me the world was gonna own me... man, that song is catchy. But, I prefer my own singing, honestly."

(He twist his head a full 360 at everyone, and laughs to himself) ...well, at lest I'm the first one to come..hehe

Initially, Sayaka walked by as ever, not a care in the world, she has visited such establishments before, but especially with being busy recently, it was... That's about the point where the girl notices who's running the establishment. Decided, Sayaka slams open the door, bell ringing loudly as she makes to sit at the counter, grinning as she looks at Homura out the corner of her eyes So this is where you get your money. I was honestly starting to wonder that. Glad to see its something productive. The young schoolgirl grins widely, leaning back a little into the air, both arms behind her head to relax

Zeke turns around to rep looking at him with a Confused look scratching his head trying to figure out what he is.. "Well...You're quite the interesting person here I guess..."

(He'd mostly focus on Zeke) ...well, ya interesting yaself...not being mean...but course....arnt we all?

*Brycen was walking around the city. He getting kinda hungry so he started to look for establishments that might be worth is time and money. Of course hearing the loud bell ringing from one of the establishments he decided to go investigate what was going on* *Brycen would go into the building, the small bell rings as he does so. He would look around and could already tell this was going to be a good place to eat*

Upon seeing Rep burst from the ground she'd sigh and hang her head down, she only just got this building and it's already being broken up by Rep of all people, that's not a good sign... "Rep could you please take the door next time? Repairs aren't free and I'm not made of money over here, so it'd be nice if you avoided needlessly causing damage to my building." Despite being spoken in a cheerful and friendly tone, there's a hint of steel in the girl's voice as she stares Rep down in the eyes. That being done, she'd then turn toward the newcomers and respond to Zeke. "And um yes it is! Mostly a cafe so uh coffee and sweets pretty much... Used to be a lot of em around but lately, I haven't seen much, thought I'd try my hand at the market ya know? Anyway, can I help you with anything!?" She'd beam over at them and push herself off the wall, standing up and walking to the front of the counter with a grin on her face as she spots the girl in a witch hat walk through the doors. "That is... Quite the outfit isn't it? And you have a good voice, are you an idol or something? Either way, can I get you anything?" Something about that one sets her on edge, but she hasn't done anything wrong so... Oh, upon seeing Sayaka walk through the doors she'd wave cheerfully at the other girl and laugh. "Oh that, yeah I've been doing this a bit. And it's good to see you again Sayaka, how have you been doing anyway? It's... A while since we last met I think isn't it?" Homura raises a hand to her chin and hmms to herself, pondering the answer to that question as she can't quite say exactly herself. Finally, she'd shrug and wave it off. "Oh and um would you like anything? I'm sure I can get you something if so!"

"Fair Enough of a point..." Zeke takes a moment to think on the words exchanged with rep then walks back to the counter trying to figure out where the hell he is.

(He'd twist his head at homura, and shrug) Ah don't worry. I'll fix it later..

Both Zeke and pandoria look at homura and Drop a bag of what is Assumingly cash or some currency looking like enough to pay for an entire meal. "Something Sweet then for two then!" P:Got any Juice?

(With that, he goes back into the hole, and a few seconds later, he has a flat piece of wood, and two nails) ...now...I do this.. (Now, he puts the wood on the hole, and slams the nails into the wood with his head) ....aaaaaaand done

The girl would look toward Brycen, waving absently at him and smiling as he walks through the door. "Hello there! Homura Akemi's the name, and can I get you anything?" Upon seeing Rep's shrug, Homura can only sigh and shake her head. Geez, he'll fix it later? "You better fix it Rep, I realize that you don't tend to worry about causing damage but it's kind of important to me at least." She'd then turn back to Zeke and his friend... That order is good and vague, but she is capable of working with it nevertheless. "Right then, juice and sweets it is... Um, please tell me if there's anything specific because for now I'm just kinda guessing." She'd absently look at the wood Rep had nailed down before walking off to the kitchen, after a bit of digging around she'd come out with two glasses of orange juice and a pair of blueberry muffins. If one happened to know such things they'd quickly note that said baked goods appear to be homemade, and with actual fruit in them at that. "Well enjoy, I don't claim to be the greatest baker or anything but um I think they're pretty good at least." Finally, she'd take the bag of money from the counter and examine it... Huh, new type? Well if she had to guess she'd say it's plenty to cover this and then some, but she's curious where it came from. "That seems like a good bit of money, and I've never seen this kind before either... Where did it come from if you don't mind my asking?"

The witch chuckles at Homura's statement An idol? Far from it! A witch, in fact. Time witch, to be specific. And, i'd like a coffee. The flavor, of which, does not matter to me

"Well it's from the kingdom of mor ardain, You're not familiar with it?" P:Almost Anyone would know about that place. It's a capital city even! Inside the bag Appears to be coins almost like change,but different then what is compared to anything like a quarter or something

"Ok Homaru, may get three biscuits and some milk please. Also my name is Brycen" *Brycen would look at the person who called them self a witch... well a time witch and would instantly notice the choice of this witch's outfit...* "Um...." *Brycen had no clue on what to say, mostly thanks to the witch's outfit*

(He'd simply stand on stop of the wood) ...now I gotta make another hole right by here...and make a new route...

Witch!? That... Not the same kind of Witch most likely, but she can't help being wary of someone using that term regardless. And time magic too... Hopefully not like Homura's power. "Time witch huh? Most people in this city might call you crazy, but for some reason, that feels true to me. Of course, I get the sense our ideas of a witch are nothing alike, given mine are normally mindless killing machines." The girl wanders back to the kitchen and pulls out a pot, the liquid inside would still be quite hot as she'd brewed it not too long ago. After pouring a cup of it, she'd come out and set it down in front of Hilda along with some cream and sugar. "250 yen please, or well I have no clue what kind of money you deal in actually. And feel free to add as much cream and sugar as you want please, it's black for now though... Also pretty strong really." Kingdom of what? Either way, some bank in this crazy place will take the money and make it yen there's no doubt of that. "You guys... Aren't in Kansas anymore, to say the least, in short welcome to Tokyo Japan, if you don't know either of those things well I can explain a bit." Finally, she'd turn to Brycen and nod with a smile, quickly walking to the back and returning with his requested items. He'd also note a small knife with some butter and blackberry jam sitting on the plate. "400 yen please, and please let me know what you think of it." As for Rep, she'd just shake her head at the snake being and sigh to herself. "Do not make any tunnels going through my place of business, we have a door and I would ask that you use it."

I've been doing pretty great of course Sayaka practically laughs the question off. Of course, that doesn't make it any less of a standard response. The young girl grins, glancing around at her.. Companions. There's the snake-thing again, and a few people she's never really talked to before I'll be good for now Homura, just checking how things are for now. Sayaka grins and waves over to the guy with an eyepatch, caught sight of him at the GYM once, but never actually got the chance to talk to the guy Pleasure to meet ya, name's Sayaka Miki. Care to tell me yours?

No, it'll be a whole lot faster, plus, I gots tons of wood, so don't worry.

"You're right, our ideas are completely different. I'm a killing machine, but i'm not mindless." Hilda lets out a faint smile "I'm not sure what yen is, but i'm sure this will be enough" Hilda hands Homura a bag filled with 250 gold coins. She then proceeds to take the coffee cup and sip it lightly "Hmm, i've never tasted this before. It's quite unique, I believe i've taken a liking to it, in fact."

*Brycen would turn back to Homura giving her the 400 yen soon taking his biscuits and milk to a table. Maybe he could make some friendly while hes here...*

Pretty great huh? For some reason, she's a bit worried about Sayaka, but well if the girl doesn't feel like saying anything Homura's not bugging her. "Hmm, alright then. Well if you ever need any help with... Anything, you know where to find me yeah?" As for how things have been, well she'd smile and shrug. "As for myself, same as usual I guess... Madoka's fine too, but well beyond a little meeting with some... Fans of a game we all play, things have been fairly quiet." Of course, by "Fans" Homura means "Magical Girls", but that's something the rest of them shouldn't quite know. She'd then take Hilda's... Gold coins!? Those are worth far more than yen, but moreover is the girl's comment about... Homura laughs nervously, geez this girl has a weird sense of humor. "Hah, killing machine. That's a strange joke you have there um... What's your name anyway? I'm Homura Akemi by the way, and I'm glad you like it!"

Zeke takes a quick second to respond to sayaka after beginning to process the fact he is far from the place he calls home. "The name would be Zeke. And this is my blade, Pandoria I'm her driver." P:Pleasure is mine but i don't remember seeing you at that place.... Pandoria begins ponders on that thought a bit,Only being focused on that fight when at the GYM not remembering seeing anyone else to notice.

"My name is Hilda, but people also call me the witch of destruction."

The witch of... Is this girl serious? Homura's face would go from the friendly smile to a more serious look as she stares down Hilda. "And that killing people thing? Are you serious about that? If so I'm uh..." She just sighs, shaking her head and groaning for a moment. "Don't hurt anyone here and I'm leaving it alone, your past actions don't concern me frankly so you're welcome as long as you don't harm anyone. If you do well... I consider it a job of mine to help where I can, but let's just hope that doesn't happen hmm?"

still here, sorry ...soooooo....what know?

Hilda lets out a light eerie chuckle "You have nothing to worry about, as of now"

*Brycen was eating the biscuit, of course it did taste good. He started of who he should talk to to make some friends with...*

Zero walks in, expecting Gamma to be there, only to find Homura in his place, maybe he was out...? "Hey kid." he says as he takes out some Zeni and slams it on the counter as per usual, "One of your best please." he said as he waits for his order to be recieved

Well...now we got a guy with green nipples and the longest orange hair ever...

Nice to meet ya Zeke. Sayaka extends her hand to the older guy, smiling wide, though.. Driving is a weird name for using a sword. Usually its.. Well... Wait.. Did that sword just talk? Sayaka shakes her head for a moment, looking at Zeke's weapon That place... Do you mean the GYM? I came in towards the end of your fight with that Chie girl, like just before ya left. Probably just missed me... So... What's with the whole "driver" thing? I kinda missed most of it, so I'm not sure what ya mean

"Well pandoria here powers my weapon so where i go she go's with me so think of it like a partnership....or however you want to see it." Zeke gets his big bang edge to show sayaka being a giant Broadsword like weapon P:No i'm not the sword! I'm standing right here! Pandoria looks at sayaka with a tempered look almost furious

Well..I'm bored..

*Brycen finshes eating, soon taking a drink of the milk. Brycen sighs as he relaxes...*

Sayaka backs off a little, laughing nervously, honestly hadn't noticed the other... Person there. If anything that makes it a little more awkward. S... Sorry about that. I've just... With the phrasing. And I've seen a talking sword before, so I just kinda assumed.... N... Nice to meet you miss. Sayaka smiles and waves to Pandoria, this is what you get when you don't pay enough attention kids. Sayaka briefly glances over to the sword So she's the reason you can lift that thing? Looks a little impractical to me, but I guess as long as it works right?

A green-haired boy enters, carrying a small bag. He looks around at all the customers, as if trying to evaluate each one. But for what?

(The 7'3 snake centipede hybrid continues standing on top of the wood, being bored)

A portal opens in the wall and a girl, looking around 12-13 walks out, looking around I sense it here... Now then. She looks over all the customers as she walks to the counter, her voice getting higher as she speaks Excoose me Ma'am. Can I get some milk to drink?

Zeke puts it away slung on his back as pandoria goes to blow off some steam feeling offended and Zeke crosses his arms giving a firm look to sayaka. "Indeed i am quite the swordsman with it and pandoria is a huge help to me, were practically partners, and looks are deceiving if you think of it. but she isn't the reason i can lift it, its mostly like a two in one deal when you resonate with a core crystal and awaken a blade."

A teenage boy wearing a knightly red garb would enter in through the door. He'd look around the place suspiciously. This place almost reminded him too much of the cafes from the capital city. In a way, it was almost kind of reassuring to find something similar to what he's seen before. He'd quickly take a look at a strange pocket watch looking device he had been keeping in his pocket. On it was a set of dots lining the edges. The current dot at the top was a light blue color. He'd seem to sigh in relief at that before moving over to a table near the back of the cafe. He'd almost seem to be zoning out as he hadn't even noticed who some of the patrons might be. "It finally changed to blue. Now I can have a chance to relax..."

(He'd twist his head at Zeke, and says): ...yeah, but, ya use electricity, and unfortunately, I'm immune to that.....soooooooooo. HAH

So many new people! This is just making things more difficult. The boy just decides to go for the red-wearing, important-looking human. "Sorry if this is sudden, but would you like to buy a z-crystal?" He holds out a rhombus-shaped gem to Alto. His white "wings" twitch excitedly. "They're the kind used for bug-type moves!"

When ya.... Sayaka pauses for a moment... Probably best not to worry about that sort of thing too much. If she went around questioning everything it would probably take her months. As is, the girl simply shrugs Ok, so it is a magic sword then. Neat..... Sayaka pauses for another few seconds... Getting kinda low on conversation topics.... And she drove his friend away. Great. Doing a real good job on that social thing recently. Though that does remind her So how did you two end up meeting anyways? I mean, you're partners of sorts so somethin' had to have happened right

Alto would look the strange stone over for a moment. It didn't seem to be a Qualia or anything to him but then what was it? He would shake his head smiling nervously at the author. "Uh, I think I'm okay but thanks for the author. I'm not quite sure what a z-crystal is or what a bug-type move is either." Alto would then notice the white wings and tense up for a moment as if remembering something unpleasant. "T-those wings...are you...no, nevermind. Sorry, what I was thinking was impossible."

"When you resonate with a core crystal, It's basically kinda like a bond.....And That bond has been there for practically years when i decided to travel and see new places, So picture a core crystal as a Sky blue gem Almost like a gem, But each one has a Blade like pandoria but a different kind in there for a moment." Zeke slowly has a serious expression and tone in the words being said to sayaka and pandoria is sitting in a chair with a feeling of spite towards sayaka, Hopefully a temperary negative look to sayaka.

waves casually at Alto. Oh, hey Alto, didn't know you'd be here.

"Ah, right..." Finding someone who could use this was harder than he thought. "I guess I should get going then. I'm a Shaymin, if you were confused! That's also my name, but eh! I gotta sell these, so bye!" He literally flies out of there.

Well that happened

Homura had been... Well, would have in fact filled out orders by now, which is to say the milk Negona asked for. But beyond that, she's been fairly silent. Lost in thought about that girl who claims to be a murdering witch. She'd then greet Alto and Skymin properly, smiling and waving at the two. "Um hello, sorry I was... A bit distracted for a while there. Homura Akemi and I own this place! Can I get either of you two anything?" Hmm, one of them seems to be... Not quite human, the other dressed as a knight of some kind?These two are a bit odd, but really nothing is too shocking at this point. "And I'm curious, well Mr. Wing uh a bit rude I know, but I can't help wondering what exactly you are... Sorry, but it's just not every day someone sees something like a person with wings! And then there's apparently a knight or something hmm? I wonder what kind of job that is, must be pretty exciting though. I can imagine how that gets, risking your life and all." Heh, more like she does it herself really but that's not here or there. For now, she'd just grin at them and lean on the counter... Until she sees the witch waving at, Alto was it? And oh, the sky guy flew out okay. "And you know the witch huh? So is she really as dangerous as she makes herself out to be? Haha, if so I guess it's a good thing a knight showed up." This could escalate quickly, Sayaka's capable if nothing else and Homura's sure as hell not above filling someone with lead if it comes to it. Even so, she'd really prefer to avoid something like that. "Still, um if everyone could just not fight I'd be really grateful ya know? She hasn't done anything here, so even if she's wanted or something in your world do me a favor and keep it away from my building, please."

................... Negona takes the drink and chugs it. Before sitting it down, speaking with her natural voice to Akemi I apologize for my deceitful voice and mannerisms. I keep forgetting this world is full of those who are aware of magic. Many people find it unsettling for the voice of an adult to come from someone of my stature. My name is Sakura Negona. And I believe I can benefit from conversing with you.

Benefit? That is... Kyubey like to be sure, but there's not much to be done about it. "Hmm, the strange isn't that unknown to me it's true. But I don't really see what'd you'd want from me? I just know a bit about this stuff, but I'm no expert nor am I really anything special!" A bit of a lie there, to some small extent. But really Magical Girls aren't anything too impressive at the end of the day, nor does she know more about her power than how to use it in a fight. The same could be said of her Persona... "I guess it depends on if you want something exact, or just a few general details that are fairly well known to most people.

Alto would glance at Hilda briefly with a great amount of unease. She was the last person he expected to see out in the open but hearing Homura ask for no violence he'd settle himself. "Hilda...What're you doing here?" Realizing that a name was asked for he would try to put on a smile before addressing Homura. "I'm Alto, I guess you could already tell by the way I'm dressed but I'm a royal knight. Uh, anyway, I guess I could go for some cake if you have any here. It's fine if you don't, I'm still trying to figure out how things work around here."

The girl would nod happily before walking off to the back, she does, in fact, have a cake she had prepared earlier that day... Although, no telling if he wanted chocolate but it's what's on hand right now. She'd place it in front of the boy and smirk at him a bit. "A royal knight huh? Sound pretty important then, and it seems you are... No friend of Hilda then? Well given some of what she's said I don't blame you Alto-kun! But well, if she tries anything in here I should be able to deal with it anyway."

Hilda bluntly answers Alto's question I came here to try some coffee because I was bored

She smiles I am what one would call a seeker of Knowledge. I only wish to gain knowledge of the universe. I shall apologize ahead for my behavior. It would seem that the most positive aspects of my persona have been split from me. So I may act as bit.... neutral evil. However I truly have no malicious intent whatsoever. Now. With that said, I will get right to the point. As I have said, I am a seeker of Knowledge. And your brand of magic is unknown to me. Therefore, I simply ask for any information you have on the subject of your Lich Chrystals. And for information on the being known as QB. If you could help me, I would be happy to reward you with whatever you may ask. Currency, magical artefacts, weapons of any kind. If I do not have it, I shall obtain it.

"Uhhh, kid? You didn't forget mine, right?" Zero looks at Homura with slight annoyance, becoming impatience with waiting for his order.

Magic gems that let them use all sorts of abilities, in this case mostly attached to a sword, sounds kinda familiar. Sayaka nervously twists the ring on her left hand. So I guess that means there are all sorts of crystals around, each with different partners. Least, it doesn't sound like you're the only one. I guess that's kinda cool. fortunately Sayaka isn't paying too much attention to the other conversations around her, like how I'm not paying enough attention to the thread

*Colton, after what happened some days ago, entered the establishment, not looking for food but a place to well relax... after all he did pretty much save tokyo from a nuke well along with 12 resistences members... only 5 made it out thought. but as soon as Colton entered he saw Zero* "Um... Hi Zero..."

Info about that thing? And oh she knows about Soul Gems, thankfully for Homura, she already knew about that little bit of info. "Kyubey huh? Well the actual name is Incubator, and I don't really go around screaming from the rooftops about the whole Magical Girl thing but well since it's not a huge secret either..." She'd then drag the other girl off to the kitchen in fact, speaking lowly at the back of the place and glancing toward the door now and then. "As for Soul Gems... A lot of us don't even know what those things are lady, I'm one of the ones who knows the details and hasn't gone insane from them, lucky me right?" She'd sigh and rub at her temple, pulling the glasses off and looking Sakura dead in the eyes. "You already know enough that I doubt learning more will hurt anyone, so lemme give you a crash course on Incubators I guess. Anything to screw them over honestly. So first up, they don't like explaining anything. Misleading names, not giving full details, whatever they can do to get someone to contract with em. As for their form, they appear as these weird cat/rabbit like things, horribly cute at first glance which is another lure I assume." Homura then pauses a moment, raising a hand to her chin and thinking on what else this woman might wish to know. "Oh yeah, the way of signing a contract with them is "fun". See you get to make a wish, a wish that will make everything better really! Except trying to fix your life with magic almost never works, you know right? And finally... See when these cute gems go black, we become what's called a Witch, they're eldritch horrors formed from the grief and despair of magical girls who've lost it entirely. As for a reward... If you happen to see anyone thinking about becoming a magical girl, do me a favor and inform them would ya?" She begins walking away, stopping for a moment before going back to the main room. "One last thing, Witches have minions called familiars, those bastards eat enough living humans they become another Witch... Make sure to give out the full story please, if only because I don't want others making half-informed choices like I did." Finally, she'd walk back out front and put a smile on her face once again as she looks toward Alto, awful quiet all of a sudden. "Um, is something wrong Alto-kun? If it's about the cake I'm really sorry! And I can always make you something else if you'd like, but beyond that um if you'd like to talk to someone... We don't know each other, but I'm always willing to listen."

Alto would look back up to Homura with a smile. He wanted to act like he didn't overhear anything and in truth, he only heard a bit. He wasn't sure what to think about it but he certainly didn't want to bring it up. "I-it's nothing, the cake is fine. It does remind me of a friend of mine though. She would always make things like cake or other sweets. The funny part was that no matter what she did it would always turn out purple. It never tasted any different but it always made everything look weird." Alto would take a bite of the cake and begin thinking about Risette. He was starting to realize that she might not be in this world. For that matter, none of the other witches might and that thought filled him with a bit of sorrow he tried to hide.

Sakura would follow and listen intently I see. These incubators seem to be malicious creatures. And I sense quite a bit of spite in your words. At the very least, they do not seem to understand the definition of mutual cooperation. I'll agree to those terms. Thank you for the explanation. May I ask a about the incubator? Where may I find this? How does one contact this creature?

How to contact... Hahaha, that's funny. "He contacts you not the other way around. I guess you could search for the fluffy white thing with red eyes, but there's nothing beyond just combing the city for him." She'd then turn back to Alto and wince, sounds like the poor guy's homesick. She can relate to that well enough... "Missing someone from back home huh? People have a way of showing up around this place Alto-kun, but I can't say for sure if she'd appear... Well, I'm not your old friends or anything and I certainly hope they show up... I'd know the feeling pretty well honestly, back when I first got here there was nobody I knew. Then well, someone important to me showed up and suddenly things got much better." She'd then grin a bit wider at him, doing her best to seem friendly as she extends a hand to the boy. "But um please feel free to call me a friend, or at least try! You can never have too many of those right! Hey, who knows, if you're ever in need of work or something I might be able to help out? Assuming I get enough people here. Either way, you seem like a nice guy so hopefully, I can be of some help, nothing will replace those we've left behind, but it's always good to meet new friends!"

A Sylveon enters the establishment with a curious look. The name seemed fancy, so, might as well stop by, yes? It steps it, maintaining as elegant of a look as it possibly could; it was obviously out of place regardless. It takes the closest seat counter at first, it would never be tall enough to greet the barista with its small size... What kind of things did this place offer, it wondered? Good day~ I hope I'm not... Interrupting anything. It moves its eyes between Homura and Alto in a sly manner. It looks at Homura with its intense blue eyes. What kind of services does this establishment offer, Miss?

Sakura puts on a distasteful look What an irritable little creature. Very well then. I ask that you explain to me these "witches" How does one locate these? There is still much mystery I must solve before I begin experimentation.

*Brycen drinks more milk until his cup was empty, of course he was listening to what the two were talking* "That was a good meal" *Brycen looks at the Sylveon that had entered

Alto would take Homura's hand with a smile. It was nice to meet another friendly face here and maybe now he wouldn't be so lonely. "Yeah, I'm always up for making new friends. I'll be sure to tell you if I need anything but in exchange, be sure to tell me if you ever need any help either. I'm the kind of person who prefers looking out for others." The chance that one of his friends could show up here was reassuring but he had a feeling that it wouldn't be likely that he would see most of them again. Alto would then notice the strange pink creature and move away. "I-is that a monster? Or maybe a familiar? Wait...I've already made that mistake before. Actually, this one really looks like it could be a familiar..."

Homura would nod at the boy, she's... Also the type to look out for others in fact, but if nothing else she can understand why he'd want that. "Alright Alto, I guess I don't mind doing that... I'm also kind of the sort to help others mostly, but well regardless I'll be sure to ask if I need a hand sometime!" She'd then turn to the... Pink fluffy animal that talks? It's adorable, all too adorable. Part of her is wary just based on that. "Ah, hello and welcome to my place! As for what we do... We're a cafe, I sell ya know, drinks, sweets, that kinda stuff. And I'm Homura Akemi by the way, nice to meet ya." Finally there's two more things, Sakura, and Alto bringing up familiars. "And Sakura-san, on the subject of finding Witches I can't really help you out sadly. I do have a method of doing so myself, but like all my magic I don't really understand the details. Sorry... And um Alto, what exactly is a familiar to you?" She'd then look at the man in the cap, but he seems content to simply wait for now? Best greet him anyways. "And hello over there! Can I help you with anything tonight, or did you just want a place to sit down a moment?"

Sylveon feels a pair of eyes on it from a far, flashing a wink to Brycen from afar before returning to its immediate situation. Particularally, Alto's knee-jerk to reaction to it. It looked slightly confused for a moment before smiling at Alto in an uncomfortable way. What's wrong, big boy? never seen a Pokemon before? I'm certainly no monster or, at least, I'm not one that bites too hard. I'm not too familiar with your human terminology of "familiar", however. It sounds mystical~ The mischevious looking Sylveon perks up a bit at Homura's mention of the words "sweets" and "drinks". It looked like it showed some emotion, a bit of its cute side if you will. Well, very lovely to make your acquaintance, Homura-chan~ may I add that your glasses make you look simply darling? it brings out all of your features... Drinks and sweets, however? I am always fond of a fine cup of tea. And... You wouldn't perhaps know what a poffin is, do you?

[Diego adjusts his cap once more before looking over to Homura, speaking to her in his noticeable British accent.] "O-Oh, um, I'd like some tea, please." [He then goes on to mumble a few things about tea being his only drink option under his breath.]

*Brycen would take in that a pokemon, well a Sylevon just winked at him* "Ok then that just happened and im okay with that*

Alto would look somewhat surprised but he then realized that perhaps it only made sense that there were no familiars normally around here. "Well, a familiar is a minion of a witch. A monster that a witch summons to protect them. I'm not sure on the details but witches just seem to almost collect familiars like their nothing."

A shame. However, I am a Seeker of Knowledge. If there were no mystery, there would be no point. I believe the human phrase is "The joy of the hunt" If I had a heart, it would be beating in excitement. If I could feel joy, it would be bursting at the seems. ..... speaking of such. I will ask a final favor of you, as I now consider you a valuable asset. I do not expect a result, but I have learned that humans tend to have Unpredictable bursts of generosity at times, therefore I will ask regardless. If you happen to meet one who uses my name. I implore you to invoke "Scivolemo", and return her to me. It is an irritation of the highest caliber that we be separated.

*Brycen looks at Aito* "Familiars, they are demons. supposedly attending and obeying a witch and warlocks but of course wizards and wizardess can also gain these familiars but both sides use their familiars in different ways... I cant say for every universe here but that is what I know from my universe... and from what I have read from books if I had a familier it would be an owl"

A minion of... People, they're people not the Witches she knows of. There was almost a hint of panic in her face upon hearing the word, but she'd quickly calm herself down. "Witches huh? They sound... Nothing like the Witches I know of." She'd rub the back of her head for a moment, it's not something she loves sharing or anything but well he did say he wanted to help. "How good are you at fighting things that shouldn't even exist Alto? "Witch" to me conjures up a lot of images. A woman made of shadows praying forever and forcing humans to join her, a beast made of candy which devours all it sees, a living rosebush which impales anyone on its thorns. And so much more, that is a "Witch" in my world... Long story short, um if I need help it'll be with them more than likely." She'd grimace at that, there goes any attempt at playing herself off as a well-read cafe owner. On the other hand, she's not going to drag someone into that madness without seeing how they can deal with it. She'd then turn back to Sakura. "A favor huh? I don't see any reason I shouldn't do that! I'll be sure to keep that in mind for you Sakura-san!" Finally, she goes into the kitchen and puts on a tea kettle, after a few minutes of brewing the girl would have a pair of cups full of green tea in her hands. Small dishes that have Sugarcubes sitting on the saucers, she'd place one before Diego and then hand the other off to Sylveon. "Well then, if you need anything please let me know alright! And um as for Poffins I'm sadly clueless... I might be able to figure it out if you tell me about them though, I've been doing a decent bit of baking lately so I've gotten decent."

*A by now familiar face opens the door to the shop and enters. Marie looking at the calm atmosphere and the mostly new faces. She probably saw Alto before in passing at that GYM place, and that would be the extent of it. Not recognizing anyone she has half a mind to just leave, but something tells her to stay.* Am I interrupting something?

Hmmm, is that so? I thought witches existed only in fanfiction. But, this place is peculiar enough that I have come to expect anything. I was born in a normal lifecycle, so, I suppose you could call me closer to a monster. I had something to protect, once, but that was a long time ago, my dear~ Sylveon nods with a smile. I would like to see one of these witches try and capture me. I am capable of defending myself... if necessary~ Sylveon adjusts the ribbon on its chest and looked to Homura. Poffins are basically, berries, but baked in a special contraption... It seems this world is lacking of them, unfortunately. I suppose you may call them a "Berry muffin" in your world? but, I do not wish to stress you unneedingly. For now, I will have your finest tea. I will trust your recommendation~ The Sylveon would wave a ribbon towards the entering Marie. So, sophisticated types came here too. It wondered how much money she had...

"Thank you, miss." [Diego picks up the tea cup with both of his hands and carefully takes a small sip of it. He sets the cup back on the table before taking a glance around the café once more.]

She'd glance toward Marie with a cheerful wave, that's a rather odd question to ask upon walking into a public cafe but well who's Homura to judge? "Not really! And I'm Homura Akemi by the way, I happen to own and run this place so if I can get you anything please let me know!" She'd then turn to the... Animal thingy, she really does need a name for that one to say the least. "I mean, I'm not exactly an expert yet or anything honestly, only started in this whole cafe deal earlier this year but well I guess it's gone over alright... But um, I did already bring you some, what's your name anyway?" As for fighting Witches... She can't really help but frown at the idea. Either way, berry says blueberry muffin to her and she'd wander to the back before handing the Pokemon on sitting on a plate. "Hmm, yeah berry I can do. As for Witches... I don't suggest getting into a fight with one, it's kind of my job to do so but um that aside they're loathsome beings which most anyone should avoid if at all possible."

With little else to do but watch for the moment... Geeze, Homura sure seems to like blabbing everything. Probably best to pretend she's ignorant for now. Rather than jump into that mess, Sayaka waves to the newcomer Marie Nothin' that I can make out anyways miss. Name's Sayaka Miki, yours?

*Brycen looked at the Sylveon once again... "it's kinda interesting to know that they can talk normally or maybe theres another reason I can hear them talk but it's still intersting"* *Brycen took his eyes off of the pokemon to look at the blue haired girl... "Did I see her from before... oh yeah the GYM, we never got to talk maybe it was becuse I did not talk to her first... all well"*

*Marie nods to the two girls that introduced themselves. One she didn't recognize, the other she'd also seen at GYM. The one called Sayaka.* Mariko Kusumi, but you can just call me Marie. It's the name I'm more used to, anyway. So this is one of those cafes, huh? I've only seen them on TV before, the closest thing we ever had was Junes' food court. So what do you serve here, steaks?

(A medium sized, bat cat...thing, surprisenly, just walks in, as it twist and twitch its head at everyone, and gives everyone a deep, jaguar like growl)

*Sigh* [Being extremely quiet, Diego takes another small sip of his tea. He tends to stay quiet most of the time in cafés mostly because he does not feel like socializing, and he doesn't have any friends to talk to. He doesn't even mind not having any friends to socialize with.]

The Sylveon feels nostalgic upon being presented with the muffin. It looked different, and bigger, but other than that, it was the closest thing it could place to it. Its eyes are filled with beady eyed nostalgia as it gazes upon the muffin. It gently picks it up with its ribbons and bites into it. It's not a poffin, for sure, but... It's delicious! Mmmm, this is fantastic! Sivii-- It realizes that it was getting to enthusiastic and acting more, well, like a normal Sylveon. It interrupted itself with a cough. Ahem... This is quite delicious, Homura-chan~ it's not quite what I remember, but it stands well on it's own on the delicious scale~ It looked quite happy and adorable, different from its usual smug and mischievous look. It looked quite annoyed with the appearance of a rather peculiar creature, however... It better not interrupt its meal time... Amidst the madness, Sylveon took note of the man not sitting very far away. Another one like Ina, perhaps? he certainly didn't look human.

Marie huh... And steaks? Homura can't help but giggle at that thought, she wouldn't even know how to grill one really. "Ah no, coffee, tea, sweets, that kinda stuff ya know! I'm more of a baker than a chief really but I guess I could attempt some other stuff... But uh, for now, just the stuff I mentioned!" She'd then look at the monster which had walked in, she's not quite sure what the thing is but it hasn't attacked her yet. That being said, one might notice a slight glow from a ring on her finger as she looks at it. "Hmm, can you talk too Mr. Monster? Or are you really just some big cat thingy?"

Yumina walks in, staring at a pink, semi-transparent window This isn't on the map yet..... ............. As she enters, a light glow surrounds her, and the air around her begins to twinkle Ah.... Level 4....

*Brycen looks at the monster, sighting before looking away but soon looks at the new person who had entered and was glowing and the area around her was twinkle. Wait what* "Uhhhh..."

She looks at the Sylveon, grinning down at her as the Pokemon happily devours its food. She'd rub the thing's head for a moment and shrug to herself. "You think so? I make them myself so it's always nice hearing that somebody enjoys! And beyond that, um do you happen to have any money on you... It's 600 yen, but well if not I'll just call it on the house this time." Damn, she shouldn't be so nice about this stuff but she's not gonna just go and get crazy about the whole thing... Oh well, just this once won't kill her. And oh someone new, with... A video game window? How weird to see that, but everything seems possible around here so why not. "Hello there! Welcome to Faba Magi Capulus Magicus, and I'm Homura Akemi the owner of this little place! Can I get you anything? And what game are you playing? I've never seen holograms like that before, but I'm not much of a gamer mostly."

Sweets huh? Well in that case I'll take a single doughnut. *Marie also looks at the new monster that arrived.* Is this honestly something normal for you? Because it looks like something to beat up.

Ah! Yumina seems completely surprised at being called out, pointing to herself as if asking if it's directed to her, but upon realizing she's the only one with a window, she walks up to the counter Ahaha... Sorry, wasn't expecting that. She bows politely Hello. Call me Yu, or Yu-chan. Do you have anything pink? As for my game.... I was playing an MMO before coming here. I still seem to be playing it tho, so I'm mappings out the city. Every little bit of mapping gives me some exp and..... She stops and scratches the back of her head Uhh.... Sorry. I'm rambling.... Uhh.... I'm mapping stuff. Cartography.....

(It would simply walk its way to where homura is. And growl kind of violently for food, only lookin at Mariko to give her the stink eye)

[Seeing that he doesn't have that much tea in his cup left, Diego downs the entire cup and sets it back down on the table. He stands up and stretches his arms, feeling refreshed.] "I should probably take my leave. Bye everyone!" [Diego suddenly disappears out of thin air as he said his goodbye. Of course he didn't forget to pay because he left a 500 yen coin next to his empty cup of tea on the counter.]

The Sylveon smiles and blushes as it's petted, its tail wagging behind it. Mmmm~ Siviii-- ahem... You're very welcome, miss~! it is a delicious substitute for a poffin. 600 yen? I actually do have a little on me. I wouldn't come into a human establishment broke~ The Sylveon reaches its ribbons into its pack that was wrapped around its torso and presents 600 yen to Homura. Why this Sylveon had money was a mystery. I trust this is real yen? in my line of work, it can be easy to be ripped off.

*Brycen hopes that nothing bad happens right now as right now he feels at peace*

Homura wanders into the back, shouting at to Maire as she rummages around for a simple glazed donut. "I mean, it hasn't broken anything or attacked anyone! I'm all for taking care of issues Marie-san, but why stir up trouble I don't even need!?" Finally, she'd come out and hand the woman just what she had requested... The girl then just sighs and tosses a loaf of bread to the monster after fetching one. "Yeah yeah, I'll feed you if you don't break anything. But beyond that we may have an issue buddy, try not to freeload too much!" As for Yu-chan, she seems decent enough... And mapping huh? "An MMO huh? Sounds pretty strange but I can't judge... As for anything pink, well food isn't that often pink, I do have some cupcakes if those sound good!" Upon Diego leaving, the girl would look curiously at the yen he had laid on the table... She didn't see him leave, nor did she see him place anything down... Is he like her? Someone else who can do that huh. "Hmm, seems like "Dio" has some nifty powers eh? Smart money says time stop, but I could be biased here." She'd then grin at Sylveon and take the payment, hmm... That yen seems real enough to her, but she's hardly trained in such things so she can't say for sure. "Line of work hmm? Sounds pretty sketchy but I won't pry too hard! Not really anything for me to get involved in right?"

(It would simply smirk in victory, as it chows down on the bread, but, more in a...human way, it takes a big bite, wait till it swallows it, and eats again, truly a gentleman..monster......thing)

Cupcakes sound nice. Thank you. Uhh.... Let's see..... Yumina taps a menu a few times and some yen drops into her hand About how much? And... you wouldn't happen to have strawberry milk?

I suppose so, still it doesn't seem like it wants coffee. *She then watches it chow down on the bread.* Okay maybe it's a little civilized. It's not a shadow, so I wonder where it came from. *She then looks over at the mapping Yu-chan and grins slightly, finally someone she's met before.* Ah, Yu-chan, odd place to run into you.

Let's just say, I take odd jobs when I'm offered them~ it's nothing for you to be concerned about. Some of us can't make a living in the same way humans do, after all. After all, who'd hire something like me? The Sylveon shrugged. It seemed a bit sad behind its smug expression.

The girl would rush into the back, geez she's done more today than expected in fact... And nothing has blown up! It's a good day, and she would quickly return to Yu with a glass of strawberry milk and a pink frosted strawberry cupcake. "That's um... Hang on lemme think, 500 yen, yeah." She'd then look back to Marie, Shadow? Does she mean... "Shadows huh? I'm a bit shocked to see you'd know about them, but at the same time, it's in part commonly known to most people here. Persona user?" She'd then look at the Sylveon, oof... Not much she can do about it at the moment though, she doesn't really need to hire anybody as of now. "I see, well if I'm ever looking for help I'll be sure to think of you then. Though for now, I can run the place fine on my own! Either way, that's kind of awful to be mistreated just for being... Okay yeah, you look pretty odd, but it's still no excuse!"

Thank you~ Yumina drops 1,000 yen on the counter and takes her things Hmhmhm~ She eats the cupcake, giggling in joy the whole time

It's quite fine, dear. I'm not one for the typical job, regardless... I prefer more thrill and excitement in my work~ it's all I've known how to do, really. Back in my home world I was a dancer; though, the audience is quite different here, for certain.

A rather nervous looking man slinks into the building with his back to most of those who were present. Perched on his shoulder was a small winged reptile that glared at the crowd. The man closes the door and appears take a breath before turning and assessing each figure one at a time. His expression changes drastically as if he'd found some sort of mental footing. "Huh." The man seems to focus for a moment before walking to the counter and leans against it on folded arms. The shoulder mounted dragon continues to watch the man's back. "You. A mug of klava if you'd be so kind. A mug, not a cup. That part is important." He addresses the girl at the counter before focusing once more.

Now you've done it! A blazing red missile crashes through the roof! Leaving a crater in its wake as PK gets up from it slowly holding his head, in a daze as he wonders around yelling Aaha! Now I've got you villan! Show yourself! PK then realises he's in the middle of a cafe and blinks, turning to the patrons and clearing his throat Ahem! Did somebody call for a hero! I am Pancake Knight! Defender of Justice at your service! I shall smite evil no matter where they are! Now is there any evil that needs taken care of here?

Something like that. It's a complicated story, and a long one. I technically come from Inaba, same as Yu and his friends. *Something about this Homura would seem to indicate she could handle the whole Izanami story. But it's a long story to tell someone who isn't committed to it.*

A mug of Klava? Holy crap, someone who actually knows what that stuff is... She only heard about it in some book from one world or another, maybe he's from around there? "Aye aye! I'm a little surprised to see someone who considers that stuff normal, but I've actually made it a few times before." He seems... Like someone who's been through quite a bit, and not the talking type either if she had to guess. Either way, after a while of messing about with eggshell, woodchips, and vanilla bean she'd have the filter ready. Followed by running some coffee through it, Finally, she'd pull out a mug and a cloth and pour the whole thing into it. After that, she'd come out and place it before Vlad... Only to hear PK screaming his head off. "There you go. And PK! There's no evil here as far as I know so you can calm down, but if you want anything please let me know!" After a quick shout at the boy, she turns back to Marie and tilts her head curiously. "Yu huh? I've met him once or twice, we're not really friends but he seems like a good person. Anyway, I know enough about that to say it sounds too long to explain now."

His eyes go wide as the girl mentions her knowledge of klava. "Not often you see an Easterner with a taste for klava. You got quite the eye for the better things kid." The familiar smell brings back memories of the good times and memories of the best times. The other memories didn't matter right now. He wears a smile as the mug is presented to him. "You've my thanks." The man slides a couple gold coins across the counter to the girl. And then, he allows himself a taste of the brew. Or rather, he tried to but the sudden entrance of the eccentric knight made it a tad difficult. "It seems that some Easterners still don't understand that discretion is the better part of valor. Mister Hero of Justice would do well to get that through his skull." With mild annoyance, the man lifts the mug once more and takes a sip as his face focuses. He places down the cup and turns to Homura once more. "Goodness me, I was so distracted I forgot to ask... where am I?"

More unusual entrees, as per the norm, it seems. The Sylveon looks to Vlad as it sips its tea. He must come from somewhere exceptionally strange... How interesting~ It was quickly taken off guard by the entrance of a certain PK, however. He was dressed quite peculiarly, but elegantly. Is this a knight out of a storybook? The Sylveon smirks and adjusts itself in its seat, addressing PK. Why hello there, handsome~ no evil here. However, I will treat you to a drink, if you care to sit next to me~ you seem like quite the... worldly fellow.

Gold huh? She can't complain about that, stuff is quite valuable after all... As for that, well she is a fan of it but yes. "Hmm, it is woefully uncommon around here yes. I only found out about it by digging the recipe up from a book, so I'm hopeful it's at least mostly like the original." And yes... PK is, well not the brightest. "PK means well, but I can't argue with that frankly. He is... A good person, but not always the sharpest." His final question, however, that is rather odd indeed... Newcomer then? "Tough thing to answer there, but this is the city of Tokyo, inside the county Japan. Now given your clothes I'm guessing those words mean very little to you? That being said, most of us aren't from around here so I'd say you won't stand out too much for not knowing some things."

Alright then, another time perhaps. *She'd then look at PK's entrance. Notably irritated.* What the hell kind of entrance was that!? This is a business, not the TV!

TV? Tokyo, Japan? Nexus? Good person!? None of these things made any sort of sense to the man. Well, okay, that last one was a joke. The man focuses slightly as he processes the information, however his attitude sours. "Helpful as always, Loiosh." The man takes another helping of klava, possibly scalding his tongue something fierce. But for now the pain was welcome. He sets down the mug and rubs his temples. "Okay. So...I am no longer where or when I was at one point. Verra's tit. What in Death's Falls does she have planned that involves a detour like this." He reaches down with his right hand and touches the hilt of a blade, breathing deeply as he does. "Fine. Just means I need to make due on my own. Start up another ring to stop me from getting too bored." He focuses again before turning to Homura. "Ah! Have you any teckla or the like rotting somewhere? My familiar seems to be looking for a snack and I forgot his rations back...in South Adrilankha..." He sighs. "Right. What I mean is any small critters you'd have running about."

*Brycen looks at the Sylveon... he still does not know why the Sylveon winked at him*

These words are... Quite unknown to her, and the dragon can talk can't he? And a ring, that sounds... Well, she lets Senri slide, and as long as this guy isn't hurting people it's not her place to step in. She'll save lives if needed, but she's not judge and jury. As for things running about. "I'm afraid that we might be too nice of a place if you can believe it. I'm... Well, I never thought I'd say sorry about not having rats or anything, but yeah we don't have any rats running about... Ah, eggs are about it in fact but um it's something!" She'd then run off to the kitchen, pulling some eggs from a fridge and quickly setting a pot of water to boil. Let's see... Screw it, she'll just cook the whole carton of the things, 12 boiled eggs later she'd come out with a plate full of them and place it near Vlad. "Heh, sorry about that I wasn't exactly intending to serve dragons when I made this place. Between him and that... Cat monster thingy, I might actually need to keep some real meat around though." Hmm, she'd then put a hand up to her chin... Something about this guy tells her he knows magic, might even know a thing or two she can use but that's for another time. "Ah, and I'm Homura Akemi by the way, then I'm guessing your friend is Loiosh? As for yourself, I can't help being curious."

*Brycen looks at Vlad... Brycen would think about what this man will do once he leaves this building and if he is a good person or a bad person*

Loiosh quickly makes his way through the air and onto Homura's shoulder, rubbing his head against her cheek. After a small chuckle from Vlad, the small reptile glides down to the counter and proceeds to carefully extract the eggs from their shells using his talons. "I wouldn't be apologizing for the cleanliness of your establishment. In fact, it almost makes me rethink the quality of some of my own buildings." He focuses deeply but this gets him nothing but a furrowed brow. "He isn't here either. I really am on my own." Loiosh shoots Vlad a sharp glare. "Quite. You should've been a minstrel. What with your expansive lexacon and wit to nearly match my own." Loiosh throws back his head in what could only be a hiss of laughter. This leaves Vlad to nod at Homura. "Indeed. This is Loiosh, a companion when he feels like gracing me with his aid and a shoulder warmer the remainder of the time." He then clears his throat before speaking again. "I am Vladimir Taltos, and I hail from Fenario. I am of the House Jhereg, that means little to you I'm sure. Loiosh is one of the species that the House is named after. And please, just call me Vlad. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Homura." He bows his head respectfully before glancing at Brycen. "You, boy. Staring a sign of respect in these lands, or do you require something of me?"

Heh, yeah she tries at least... Oh hey, the dragon is being nice to her? Well, she's not going to complain. He seems quite smart in fact... Not to mention the speaking.thing. "Hmm, well he seems nice enough! Though I guess he would be to someone handing him food huh? As for keeping the place clean... Well, it's a lot easier around here honestly, somehow I doubt your home has the standards of cleanliness we do." The girl can't help giggling a bit at hearing Vlad sending his dragon jabs, somehow she gets the sense this is all too common between them really. "A minstrel huh? I've never heard of a performing dragon, maybe you'll start a new trend Loiosh!" And geez those titles... Well, either way, she'd bow to the man slightly for a moment before looking back up and smiling. "Hmm, a pleasure to meet you as well Vlad. I can't say I'd expected to meet any dragons or swordsmen tonight, but around here it's best to expect things one wouldn't normally..." Sign of respect huh? Well, the boy seems to be long gone, but Homura can't help shaking her head at him regardless. "And no, last I looked staring wasn't a sign of respect even in this madhouse. He seems... Paranoid maybe? At any rate, I really should be closing the place down for the night soon here. I should get home at some point, though feel free to stay for a bit longer." She'd push her glasses up and begin to straighten a few things out, placing various glasses and such back where they belong and getting ready to lock up.

A new day... And the place has been open a while by now, there are even a few normal bland people sitting at tables and chatting amongst themselves at the moment. As for Homura herself, she'd simply sit at the front of the counter and watch for a while. Hmm, seems the place is doing well, but not really anyone she wants to speak with at the moment... She'd wander off to the back, pulling a phone out and looking down at it. "Gah, here I was hoping my customers would be exciting today too... Not that I can complain about money, but no knights, or dragons, or pokemon, geez. I never knew normal days could happen, or how dull they'd be for that matter." She'd tap a few buttons and write out a message, a certain girl with pink hair might notice a set of directions and a pleading request from Homura to be "Saved from the horrible foe of boredom". With that, the girl would pull out a cup and fill it with coffee. Walking out front and sipping it absently. Hmm, for now, it seems like nobody needs anything at least.

It wouldn't be long before the aforementioned pink haired girl would arrive with a smile. Homura-chan, I'm here! She walked through the cafe, looking around at the atmosphere. It was really nice! So this is what Homura-chan was working on. Giggling, she sits at the counter. Hi, Homura-chan? This is your place? I haven't seen it for myself before... Hmm, maybe I could cook here!

She'd smirk over at Madoka, leaning closer and shrugging her shoulders slightly. "Mmm hmm, I got kinda bored just doing nothing ya know? It was trying to run something or go back to school..." Homura looks into the other girl's eyes and moves just a bit closer, by this she'd have gained a few stares but she can't bother to care. "As for cooking here, I guess if you want? It's kinda my thing but I won't stop you from helping... Just do me a favor alright?" Her grin widens as she moves back and takes a sip of her coffee. "Try not to be like me yeah? I think I'm plenty of dropouts for the both of us Madoka, so don't go putting helping me ahead of taking care of your own stuff or anything!" She then snaps her finger. "And oh, did you want anything? Don't worry about the money or anything, on the house for you of course!"

Madoka giggles. Since there weren't many people yet, she could be a little looser. She looks around to see if anyone is looking before she lightly pecks Homura on the lips as her face gets closer to hers, blushing with a smile. Hmhmm~ you know better than to get that close, Homura-chan~ I don't mind helping you at all while I'm here though! it's not like middle school is so demanding that I have to study a whole lot... Maybe that'll be the case when I'm a senior in high school, or college, but for now, I have plenty of time to help you here, Homura-chan~ I won't neglect myself. Mom would be mad if I did that... I'll put in enough muscle for both of us! Madoka winks enthusiastically. Though... Hmm... Are you able to make some of your udon, Homura-chan? I like cooking for you, but I don't get to taste your cooking much.

The girl would grin and blush a bit, it's far less notable than Madoka's however and she'd shrug to herself. "Hmm, maybe so but it's fun isn't it? Knowing better doesn't stop me from doing lots of things my dear~" She'd then laugh a bit, it's easy to forget that she should, in theory, be in middle school sometimes... "Right right, I always forget we're that young honestly. Doesn't feel like it to me most of the time." As for cooking, she'd wander off back to the kitchen, walking slowly and turning her head a bit toward Madoka to motion the other girl in. If one were listening, they might hear a mutter or two among some of the customers but who cares right. "Udon huh? I guess I can make something like that... A bit short notice, but eh I'll make it work!" She'd rummage through various cabinets for a while, broth... Noddles, some veggies, a few eggs even, after a moment... Okay, a while of humming to herself and chopping up things. Boiling some broth, and finally, she'd have a pot of Udon in front of her. "Geez, feels like that took way too long to make for some reason... Ah well, hopefully, it's good! I am doing this off memory but it should be fine." She'd pull down a pair of a bowl and fill them, placing a spoon next to one of them and leaving it. As for her own, the girl would take a sip of it and... Sigh. It is pretty good, not too salty, everything's cooked right, the egg's fine. "Not bad, but I feel like it could be better somehow. Ah well, nothing to do with that right? It's still good after all, I think..."
