Imagine the most unusual pair of roommates. Multiply it by a thousand. (Private: Rackie & Arc || Mature)

"Apart from being able to camouflage yourself, what else can you do?" Mark asked out of curiosity. Sadly, his soul perception ability was pretty basic, making it hard for him to focus enough to notice and analyze such abnormalities. His sister was far better at the meistering business, despite being without a weapon partner herself.

"Oh you know, chameleon stuff," She said, rather conveniently having a fly fly right by nearby. Her hand shot out and she grabbed it out of the air. "Uhm... Got a tissue?" she asked Mark, rather sheepishly, realising that she really didn't have a way to easily get rid of her victim.

Mark stared at her in awe. Yeah, "chameleon stuff". That seemed like an understatement. Well, at least she didn't use her tongue to catch that fly. "Sure thing." He said as casually as he could, before reaching into a pocket of his waistcoat and pulled a white handkerchief. Then, he handed it to Charlotte.
"You're fast. That reaction time was quite something." Minerva commented.

"Eheheh, praise me more," she said, turning up her nose and grinning, playing the egomaniac attention seeking sort, all the while wiping bits off fly from the inside of her hand. It really would have been a better idea to hand her a disposable tissue over a handkerchief.

It's not like Mark had anything other than handkerchiefs really. He didn't mind though. He had lots of handkerchiefs at his disposal.
Aurora returned to the room with a tray again. That time, she had cups of tea and cups of coffee on it. She set everything down on the table.
Then Luna dragged two chairs into the living room and placed them down by the table. Then she sat down near Ana, while Aurora sat down next to her. Minerva kept standing though. After all, she wasn't going to eat, drink and her legs would get tired. "S-So... uhm, thank you for coming e-everyone... It's uhm..." Luna said, then made a pause as if she couldn't properly explain how happy she was to have so many guests on that special day. For a moment she looked towards Minerva and then Ana as if she wanted to ask for help.
"I think Luna is very happy to have so many friends celebrating this special day." Minerva said. Luna nodded. "S-So... uhm... how have you all been?" Luna asked.

"I'm happy when you're happy, so, I'm happy," Ana said, briefly summing up her thoughts. There wasn't much to say.

Charlotte seemed happy enough to sit by and listen for the moment.

"Uhm, well, recently I have acquired a 3D printer and to be honest, I am not the one who uses it most of the time." Mark said, scratching the back of his head. He sent Aurora a quick glance and a smirk. To which Aurora shrugged defensively.
"Oh come on! You have to agree that all those minis look really cool." Aurora said. "Speaking of minis!" Aurora suddenly stood up and went back to the entrance. A minute later she returned holding two small wrapped items. She handed one to Ana and one to Luna. "A little gift from us."

"Eh, I get something?" Ana asked in surprise, though accepting the gift without argument. She wasn't expecting anything considering the occasion.

"Yeah, of course. You two are partners, in at least two definitions of this word." Aurora said like it was something obvious.
Luna's curiosity got the better of her and so she unwrapped the gift. As it turned out it was a hand-painted figurine of a white wolf holding a highly detailed staff in its mouth. It was obviously a reference to both Ana and Luna's transformations.

"Oh, that's cute. Is that Miss Tails' weapon form, then?" Charlotte asked, looking over at Luna's present and pointing vaguely towards it.

"Yeah, that's me," Ana said. Seeing Luna's figurine, Ana was also overtaken by her curiosity and quickly unwrapped her own present.

Ana's mini also had the same quality as Luna's. It was 3D printed and then painted. Her figurine depicted them both in their mission outfits with Luna hugging Ana tightly from behind. Their faces were a bit covered because of Luna's hat, but if she looked closely, she would notice that both characters had heart-shaped blushes on their cheeks and that their faces were a little bit cartoonish-looking.
"O-oh! That's cute!" Luna commented, immediately remembering her own notebook doodles from their early days.

Ana brought the figurine up to her eyes to look at it closely with a big goofy grin. "Thank you. This is wonderful," she said, gently putting the figurine on the table in front of her.

Luna placed her figurine next to Ana's and smiled widely. "Y-Yup! It's perfect!" She said.
"See, Mark? That's why I love using your 3D printer." Aurora said, grinning. In response, Mark nodded and smiled. "The effort was more than worth it, wasn't it?" He said.
Luna looked at Charlotte with a happy and somewhat proud smile. "O-Oh! Ana's weapon form is a-amazing, by the way. She's a ma-magic staff and she actually can channel and amplify s-spells!" Luna said, her eyes glistering with happiness.

"A witch weapon without eating monster souls, huh?" Charlotte muttered to herself as she looked over Ana with curiosity. Turning to Luna, she was smiling once again, though. "It's like you two are made for each other, huh?"

"Mhm! I-I believe so." Luna said with a wide happy smile.
"I kinda wonder how strong Ana will become after acquiring a witch soul." Aurora commented looking over at Ana.
"I'm still amazed that none of you feel even slightly uncomfortable at the thought of having your weapon eat a soul of one of your own kind." Mark said.
"There are many ways to approach this. I just want to get rid of those who give us all a bad rep." Aurora explained.

"Way I see it, is Kishin Eggs are humans that turned bad. What's the issue, then, with getting rid of a witch turned bad?" Ana philosophised.

"That's a way to see it, yeah," Charlotte said, "But I try not to think about stuff like that. Deaths List is what matters. If the name is on the list, it gets me all pissed. Or something..."

"That is a healthy point of view indeed." Mark said nodding. "Despite being a meister myself, I've never actually hunted kishin eggs. I'm not much of a fighter, really. My sister is more into that." He admitted.
"Yeah... Anna's always been... very serious about her training. Though her luck with finding a weapon has been nearly as bad as Angela's" Aurora said.
"H-Hey Charlotte... Have you ever... hunted down an egg?" Luna asked.

"I've hunted a lot. It's my job, really," Charlotte said, leaning back into her seat. "I'm one of those unlucky enough to need to take care of the sway, you see, so I channel it into something good, with bounties on top. Souls go to Death, of course, since I don't have a weapon."

"Ah... The sway. Yeah, dealing with it has always been a challenge in the history of my family. Luckily my mother and I have magic safe enough not to get us affected by the sway. My sister though... Sometimes she has it difficult. Her magic is literal fire magic." Aurora said nodding.
"I-I'm fine as long as I'm u-under soul perception... W-Whenever it's d-down I just... have this w-weird feeling that I'm not myself." Luna said. "C-Charlotte... Are there a-any better ways of dealing with the sway than... y-you know, hunting..?" She asked, sounding somewhat hopeful.

"If it were that easy, the Academy never would have been at war with our kind," Charlotte said after shaking her head. "If you could find something, many would rejoice, y'know? Either you suppress it with sheer will, you channel it, or it swallows you."

Luna sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed, even though the answer was that obvious. "I-I have no other choice b-but to channel it then." She said and then shook her head. "W-Well, I guess I can live with that."
"Hunting without a weapon... that's very impressive. I mean, magic can be our weapon still, but I'd probably have it pretty hard if I ever tried." Aurora said, glancing at her illusion-masked prothesis.

"Oh, it's just something my particular skill set lends itself to," Charlotte said, waving off Aurora's praise, unlike what she did earlier on.

Aurora nodded, with arms crossed on her chest. "I see." She said simply. Charlotte's camouflage certainly seemed useful for silent take-downs of targets. Aurora saw Charlotte more in the role of an assassin than a direct fighter. Well, at least that's how she would use such spells if she could use them.
"Should I order food?" Minerva asked, using a moment of silence. "If so, what should I order? Pizza? Chinese food?"

"I don't mind," Charlotte said, back to being smiley as ever what with the topic of hunting and the sway left behind.

"Pizza vote," Ana said, putting her hand up briefly.

Both Aurora and Mark put their hands up. Aurora grinned. "Like last time." She commented.
"I-I don't think I should be voting." Luna said, playing with her hair a bit. Well, it was her place so she thought that leaving the voting to her guests was the proper way to go. "Hey, uhm Charlotte..? Some of m-my memories still seem a bit f-fuzzy... D-Did I cause any troubles back w-when we had to leave the Witches' realm?" Luna asked. Well, she was a small kid back then, but still, she wanted to make sure what kind of a child she was back then.
