&quot;Oh, Madoka...&quot; <i>Tatsuya embraces his sister, letting his head lay on his shoulder.</i> &quot;So much has changed I don't know where to begin. For one, there's been much less of a burden on you magical girls since the advent of specialized military divisions in the fields of magical study and witch hunts. Sure is a daunting task for us soldiers, though.&quot; <i>Tatsuya chuckles and rubs the back of his head.</i>

&quot;Don't worry, Big Sis. I'll make you proud, you'll see.&quot; <i>Smiling optimistically, Tatsuya keeps his fears in the back of his mind, appearing to be very in the moment and not considering potential tragedies he might have to face later. </i> &quot;Hey, here's an idea, maybe we should team up from now on? That way we can look out for each other.&quot; <i>He pauses for answer, tilting his head and shooting an absent gaze in a manner strikingly similar to his sister. </i>

<i>Wandering through the heavy snow was a lone traveler, armed to the teeth with season relevant attire, obscuring his face with a heavy scarf and winter hat. Shivering, he limps up to the cafe and gently opens the door, rushing in.</i> &quot;These winters are just getting colder by the year, damnit.&quot; <i>The traveler sets down his coat, revealing a white buttoned up shirt. He then climatically brushes his hand over his head, pulling off his hat and scarf. He then smiles with his eyes closed looking down.</i> &quot;I'd like one hot chocolate, please, Homura-Chan.&quot;

<i>Tatsuya nods to Madoka.</i> &quot;Long time no see, Big Sis. You seem to be doing pretty well for yourself, too. How'd you ever come to afford this place?&quot; <i>He sits down on a nearby chair, smiling at Madoka.</i> &quot;And the location couldn't be better. I'd expect nothing less from my Onee-Sama! Oh, and i'd like extra marshmellows in my chocolate, please.&quot;

&quot;Why I took the job? Well, i'm gonna wanna settle down eventually and I need a career to attract women. Plus, i've been a huge magic nerd since as long as I can remember! Lego Harry Potter is one of my favorite video games. I guess you could say this is my dream job.&quot; <i>Tatsuya lays his elbows down on the counter in front of him and begins to fantasize.</i>

&quot;Yeah, I know all about Homura. I'm sure we'll get along.&quot; <i>He glances over in Homura's direction.</i> &quot;She seems busy, though. I'll have to talk to her later.&quot;

&quot;Ah, in that case,&quot; <i>Tatsuya turns towards Tokiwa, interjecting</i> &quot;Um, Tokiwa-san? How would you like to spare for a bit?&quot; <i>As a gesture, Tatsuya forms a dust cloud of light energy in the form of a crossbow for a brief second before it materializes into a full iron crossbow modified to rapidly shoot strands of light instead of arrows. He holds this weapon to his hip.</i>

&quot;A magical girl, huh? Must be my lucky day. Good luck beating me.&quot; <i>Tatsuya slowly takes a step back, allowing a brown desert cloak to form over his clothes, large sniper goggles suddenly obscuring his eyes. He appeared to become more nible and efficient, a second crossbow forming at his other hand. Smirking, he then takes a giant leap back which allows him enough air time to essentially suspend him in place for a brief moment while he fires his weapons. He first pulled the trigger on the crossbow in his left hand, a beam of light being fired like a bullet directly towards Nanaka's current location. Almost immediately following this, he fires the crossbow in his right hand to the empty space on Nanaka's right, being spaced at her chest level. Quickly falling afterwards, Tatsuya would bend his knees and seperate his legs to allow him to land safely on his feet as the impact causes him to naturally slide across the floor in a preemptively evasive maneuver as he prepares for whatever counterattack he has to face.</i><div class='edited'>(edited by Tatsuya_Kename)</div>

<i>Tatsuya would reach out his hand towards Kalib, offering a handshake.</i> &quot;Ah, well, my name is Tatsuya Kaname. You know, I can actually really benefit from some proper training. Do you know anyone looking for a partner right now?&quot;
