<i>Within the streets of Tokyo's Shibuya area a small building sits, a sign above its doors written in dark purple reading Faba Magi Capulus Magicus and a smaller one in the window which says open. The entire place is in a word, calm. Quiet and softly lit with an atmosphere that at the moment one could easily fall asleep to without even trying, a fact that's rather aided by the rain pouring down onto the city from above and making gentle sounds beating overhead. A small fireplace burns as well, given the rather chilly weather outside a young girl with black hair sits next to it looking rather worn out while she just leans back in a chair. </i> &quot;Geez, slow day for now but I guess it's to be expected. The morning's over and nobody really wants to come out here on a dull day like this... Already had to send everyone else home early though, not wasting my payroll on no business...&quot; <i>Homura would absently look over a stack of papers while sitting at the table pondering aloud, not as though anyone else is here right now after all. And Madoka apparently had something else to do today so here she sits... That and Madoka may or may not still be in school, only just leaving at most Homura always does lose track of time a bit when she's this bored. Rummaging through figures while listening for the chime of her door's bell. Just hoping to get someone at least a bit interesting here soon isn't a favored hobby, but it's about all she can do for the moment...</i> <spoiler>Also behold what I was listening to while writing this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq7kyf1T_lk </spoiler>

<i>It's fairly late into the evening at this point, and the place is hardly jam-packed. A few customers still linger within the building, but mostly everyone's gone home. The softly lit cozy little cafe is quiet, and a pair of girls sit at a table with smiles on their faces.</i> H: &quot;Geez, it's been too long since we just sat down and relaxed huh...? M: &quot;Yeah, much. Mostly I'm just glad things are... Maybe not entirely fine, but quiet for now.&quot; <i>Homura would nod to that, absently leaning against the other girl given they'd placed their chairs directly beside each other. Both just sip away at some coffee, enjoying a comfortable silence while looking around the room.</i>

<i>A girl wanders the city streets, absently passing through a rundown back alley of Tokyo without a second thought before coming to a large building. There's a slight pause at the door, but she'd enter soon enough with a shrug of her shoulders and a dull look on her face with hands buried in jacket pockets. After the lights flicker on she would simply stand next to a wooden training dummy and draw a simple wood sword from seemingly nowhere. Slamming away at the training dummy with startling strength and speed for a sixteen-year-old girl, it borders the line between merely impressive and inhuman at several moments even. Shadows flickering around her body in strange ways as the girl smiles a bit.</i> &quot;Well, I certainly feel different after... That, better all told. Hmm, I need to put myself through some actual challenge though. With any luck, someone will drop by who can help there.&quot; <i>Homura shrugs a bit and looks around while musing to herself, not having much else to do but warm up some more given the place is still currently empty.</i>

<i>A pair of girls walk into the building, one with black hair tied in a ponytail and wearing a black hoodie with blue specks over it, along with a pair of shorts and black boots on her feet. The other has a bow and arrows strapped to her back, wearing a pink t-shirt with a glittery sword drawn on the front. Along with light blue exercise pants. The lights flick on as they come into the building proper, glancing around and spotting both a normal fighting ring and one which appears to have some kind of computer set up for digital battlefields? Homura turns to her partner with a curious look.</i> H: &quot;Huh, that's new... Might take a look at it though, if you want Madoka.&quot; <i>The pinkette shrugs a bit, she's not exactly an expert on this stuff after all.</i> M: &quot;Eh, I'll trust your judgment on it honestly. I won't lie though; I am a bit excited to actually <b>do something</b> with this power. Even if it's not important.&quot; <i>Homura shrugs a bit and walks behind the GYM's counter, quickly starting to brew a pot of green tea with a smile on her face. It’d take a moment of looking around, going through various kitchen tools around the place. Not to mention the fact the tea is for some reason stuffed on a top shelf she’s gotta resort to a murky black tendril of shadows to reach for, but eventually, a kettle would sit on the stove and begin to boil.</i> H: &quot;Mmm, I can understand that. I'm a bit worried, but... together again anyway. At least Personas don't have quite the drawbacks of our former state.&quot; <i>Madoka grimaces a bit at that last statement, arrows flying through the air at a training dummy and lighting up with bits of gleaming holy magic that would appear as sharper points and pierce deeply into the target. She grins and stows the bow over her shoulder again, taking a seat at the counter and observing Homura’s work.</i> M: &quot;You aren't wrong there... Wonder who all will come in today though?&quot; <i>The black-haired girl shrugs and then pours out a pair of cups, taking a seat at the counter alongside Madoka and absently watching the door as they both drink, Homura’s head leaning against Madoka’s shoulder for a moment as the other girl blushes some.</i> H: “Eh, no telling on that one. Whoever we end up going against though, I’m at least pretty sure we can learn something useful about your Persona. And how to make our magic works <b>with</b> each other too. That bit is important.” M: “Heh, yeah I know. Win or lose, the point is just to get better and learn more.” <i>With those words said, the pair would go silent for now and simply drink their tea with smiles on their faces. Heads only turning now and then to gaze around and see if anyone else has joined them.</i> <spoiler>This will be an experiment on my part, tag battles have been done before, but always with four players. I’m mad though, so I’m gonna try one with myself just… Using two characters. I won’t say anyone else has to, though if someone wants to feel free to engage in this madness as well.</spoiler>

<spoiler>OOC: So haven't done one of these in a while, the basic gist though is they're based on the idea of Unlimited Characters in BlazBlue. Ultra powerful versions of normal fighters. Not flat out god modding exactly, but still a lot more over the top than normal stuff and non-canon is the intent of these.</spoiler> <i>A woman in her early 30s would walk up to an old rundown building, a blank and worn out look on her face as she absently looks down at a gleaming ring.</i> &quot;Yeesh, been a damn while since I've come back here. Well whatever, maybe someone here can... Nah I doubt it.&quot; <i>She shakes her head, black hair tied in a ponytail swaying about as she walks through the GYM's doors and flicks on the lights. Despite it being old, the place is still somehow in amazing shape internally, a longue area sits off to the side, along with a fully stocked bar sitting at the back that's got no one running for now. Finally, there are several &quot;fighting rings&quot; as it were, wide fields that have some mystic writings set up as a square around them which would prevent any stray fire from rushing out into the building around them. Homura reaches into a black coat around her and pulls out a lighter, along with a cigarette that she'd quickly take a drag from before leaning back against a wall with a disinterested look.</i> &quot;Oh well, I guess I haven't got anything better to do than wait around here anyways. Might be fun if the right person shows up. Someone who can be a challenge...&quot;

<i>A pair of girls wander through the mall, not an unusual event in most times. The fact that one of with black hair has her eyes darting all about the area warily might strike one as odd though, the pink haired girl with her just sighing and shaking her head at her counterpart's mood is perhaps more normal.</i> Madoka: &quot;Geez, you seem to be uh... Paranoid today Homura-chan.&quot; Homura: &quot;Yeah yeah, nothing to worry about too much. It's just, stuff Madoka, sorry.&quot; <i>Homura would flip her hair back a bit and absently begin leaning back against a wall, a cup of coffee held in her hands as the other girl just watches her with a concerned look on her face. For the moment, she'd simply lean against Madoka and sip at her drink every now and then. Various crowds pass by, storefronts are open, the fountain in the area's center is running, it's a typical morning in Japan all things considered. Though those outside the building might note the downpour of rain and the slightly strong winds blowing about.</i> M: &quot;Kinda surprised you wanted to get out today though, this weather isn't exactly the best.&quot; H: &quot;Hmm, not really but I felt a bit restless at home. Wonder if anyone interesting will be around...&quot;

<i> A young woman looks over a building, various chairs and tables lining the floor. A bell can be seen at the top of the door, and on the whole, the place is fairly small and calmly lit, giving off a very homey feel despite being in the middle of Tokyo.</i> &quot;Hmm... We've been pretty lacking in places like this for a while, guess I might as well give it a shot right?&quot; <i> She'd wander into the kitchen for a moment, an assortment of baked good placed around... And a slight mess from cooking the things, but she'll clean it up eventually.</i> &quot;Well, everything's ready, I've got stuff made... Alright, time to open up!&quot; <i> The girl walks to the front of the store, unlocking the front door and flipping a closed sign to open. With that, Homura wanders behind the counter and smiles. Sure it's a strange thing for her to be doing, but eh, can't just look for shadows and witches all the time, right? Either way, she'd simply look toward the door and lean back on a wall</i>

<i> A young woman wanders into the mall, she looks around for a moment and spots a tall tree with pink leaves in the center of the area. Moonlight pouring down onto it through the open air above the mall...</i> &quot;Well, I guess I can't sit around moping all day long... Wonder if anything will happen tonight?&quot; <i> Homura would wander over to a fountain and sit down on the edge for a moment. She'd glance toward various shops and restaurants for a moment, but in the end she can't really bring herself to do... Much, instead the girl simply lays down on the edge and stares up at the sky. Vaguely examining the stars, not that it'd really do much to take her mind off things... Either way, for now she simply places her hands behind her head and stares out, not even bothering to pay any attention to things around herself at the moment.</i>

<i> Homura sits on a park bench with a small smile on her face, she'd stare out at a nearby lake as snow falls around her, moonlight dancing across the frozen water.</i> &quot;Huh, it's pretty out here... But, I really hope she's not too late, if it takes much longer I'll have to start searching.&quot; <i> She sighs, she'd called the other girl a bit ago. But Madoka is bad with directions... It's a toss up between danger, and just being a bit lost, hopefully the latter. Regardless, Homura's still assuming the best as she smiles at the leafless trees and shivers a bit.</i> &quot;Oh well, I've gotta have a little faith is all! She's not helpless or anything.&quot;

<i> A young girl wanders toward a famiral Armory, she'd walk through the doors with a grin on her face and instantly move toward the swords. Mostly looking at Katanas before she glances around the shop for a bit.</i>
