This roleplay seems very interesting. Here is my attempt at a witch.

"Bonjour Keith." Arlette would answer, after seeing her Meister arriving from his quick shower. "Oh, I am well, though that movie last night turned out to be a big fiasco, you were lucky you fell asleep. " she said with a sigh, finally finishing up her large cup of coffee. His second sentence would make her raise an eyebrow. "You felt it as well? I was hit with a sense of unease earlier, it feels like something is brewing! Or maybe it was just the postman walking by, hate those guys." she jested.

Postman?, Keith thought. In cases like these he compared her to a guard dog, scaring away any visitors. The thought caused him to chuckle before he pushed it aside, "On my run. It felt like I had a pair of eyes on me." He said, gulping down the last bit of his cappucino before continuing, "Probably nothing." He glanced at the clock at the wall before began digging into the granola bowl, they still had a healthy amount of time left.

"And if it is something, it wouldn't be all that bad. Been a while since I had a soul! Mission assignments seem to be going slow in preparation for the Death Festival." she would say, waving around a fork with a piece of pancake on it before devouring that last bit of her breakfast, sighing happily as she now had the proper amount of food and caffeine to start her day proper.

He nodded in agreement, but kept it to himself that he was slightly glad that missions slowed down. Partly for obvious reasons and partly because he thought that they could improve their synchronization as a team, something they both subconsciously felt. As he ate the last spoon of the bowl, he piped up. "Time to get ready soon then." He stood from the table and began gathering his belonings, his notebooks, pen, glasses and whatever knick-knacks. "You too, Arlette."

"Oh... Actually, I didn't mess with that stuff for all weekend so everything should be in my bag already," she said, rubbing behind her head and giving Keith a fanged smile, as the implication was that she had not done her homework. "Just gonna take a quick shower and I will be ready to go." she winked and quickly left before running away from the living room to avoid being scolded, as she had promised she would not slack on that anymore.

"Arlet- That girl." Keith said. I'll reprimand her another time. The only thing he asked of her is to keep up with her studies, he didn't want her dropping out. With a sigh, he put on his glasses, grabbed a book about soul theory, and then laid down on the sofa. He figured he may as well pass the time reading as from experience she seemed to enjoy bathing and takes her time. He really couldn't argue with her, baths are simply just relaxing and oddly enough, for napping.

Arlette was very sensible to sensory stimuli and easily distracted by them, not too different from a dog in a sense, it was why she needed the repetitive sound of the clock to be able to sleep well, else she would find herself distracted by every single noise echoing through the night. The shower had a similar effect, and she often found herself being far more brooding under the drip of cold water than she was in her daily life.

Today her thoughts were similar to Keith's, minus the good sense of not being gung-ho about fighting if you still have a lot to improve. Because they had had a strong start, enough to allow them to move into the EAT Class, the duo had so far not done much to try to increase their synchronization outside of the basics, such as moving in together. However, now that they had the company of more able Meister - Weapon duos to compare themselves to, it was clear their initial good sync was just a first step in a long, long journey. Yet, she wondered how they could improve further, so far everything had come to them naturally, she never had to think much about it, it was hard to jump to rigid exercise routines and the like from something as freeform as that.

Before any answer could come by, she finished bathing, quickly dressing up in her actual outfit, with the boots, black skirt, blouse, vest and the red bandana with fake wolf ears. "All done Monsieur Solomon~" she would say cheerfully, walking into the living room once again. No response would come as she should have suspected. Keith had true skill when it came to falling asleep, it was even the reason why they had only a shower instead of a bathtub, and even then he still had dozed off in the bath a few times.

Walking up to him, she would smile, gently taking off the book from over his face and putting it aside, carefully taking off his glasses and placing them on the case before, finally, "gently" grabbing him by the feet and starting to drag him off the couch, off the apartement even. She wondered if he would wake up, sometimes he didn't, those were the fun times, totally worth having her arms hurt for a few days.

Keith was jostled awake, it took him a moment to recognize where he was and who was dragging him by his ankles. It was obviously Arlette. From what he could tell, they had just left their apartment, the little people scattered about on the sidewalk eyed them with curiosity. "Damn it, not again." he murmured. "You can let go now."

Arlette blinked rapidly, still walking a bit before stopping. "Oh... you woke up! Heh, was expecting to make it to the school like last time~♥" she gave Keith a fanged grin before extending her hand to help him up. "Oh well."

He slapped his dusty jacket a few times while walking with Arlette, flicking off some lose stones that found its way into his jacket. "Could've gone for a more gentler option. Something like a princess carry." he joked, getting his rucksack back and slinging his it over his shoulders.

Hearing the last few words, her eyes would widden, looking impressed, reaching for a small pocket notebook on her vest, writting down something, and then placing it back,"I will remember that~" and unlike her homework, she really would. Stepping closer to Keith now that he was up, she would help a bit by patting some dust off the jacket too. "Let's get going then?"

The duo were close to the E.A.T. classroom, Keith yawned and stepped into the classroom. He found their assigned seats and settled in, he didn't feel like napping again considering what Arlette might do to him if he does. Instead he opted to find his glasses and a piece of paper. Wordlessly he puton his glasses began sketching away, this time a perspective shot from his view of the classroom. "Oh, right. Arlette, have you done your homework?" he asked despite knowing the answer.

Arlette was writing on her actual notebook in a hurry, trying to do her homework at the last minute, she had the hope that all the morning shenanigans would have made him forgot about it. "Errr... uhmm.... Let's say maybe I... did not do it... uhh... fully." she only knew how to lie when it was for the express purpose of mischief. "Okay, look, I am in a bit of a pinch, Monsieur Hellsing is no Madame Barr but I think I might be pushing it. Could you not help your beloved demon weapon friend out of this one? I know you did yours. Please? I can do anything you want in exchange and I promise next time I won't mess up."

"Arlette Sylvestre. You've made your bed, now lay in it." he said harshly, stopping his sketching. Coincidentally, his homework was open next to him. Coincidentally he felt a suddent surge of sleepiness, he placed his feet on the tabled and covered his face with another book and laid back. This is the last time. he thought, knowing full well that this was the fifth last time. Keith really shouldn't indulge her like this, but he figured he would just make doubly sure to be harsher next time.

She would frown at first, pouting, before blinking rapdly as she noticed what was actually happening. Keith you are the best~♪ she thought, but didn't say it out aloud, instead focusing on quickly copying his homework. Although at first she had a wide smile for having been saved, she quickly found herself frowning slightly. She was used to messing up and get stares from teachers, but with Keith... it felt kinda bad. She would try her best next time and wouldn't watch movies or series until she was done with her homework! ... Then again, maybe one episode to relax a bit before starting wouldn't hurt...

Keith sighed. Now all they could do was simply wait for class to begin, that would still take a bit considering the classroom was almost empty, most students yet to arrive. At least it would be enough time for Arle to finish copying the homework.
"Rigid?" ironically, the comment would made Vilkas stiffer, as if her alloy had just lost all of its malleability, was she weird? Even a fellow robot was saying she needed to relax, and it wasn't only her as well. The change of topic did more to relax her than the call for her to ease up.

"Swarm aliens? What could one even do with those that hasn't been done already. I can see why they became a priority target in comparison to the average rogue scientist. And for sure! We won't allow it." she tried to have some enthusiasm, as she had seen other robots show, but Cura did drown her with her overbearing confidence.

"I...I-it's a pleasure to meet you too, Captain Cura...!" she would say in a shy manner.

Dostrex was Dostrex, it never changed. few places were beautiful on this planet's surface, and even then, it was a type of beauty you had to learn to enjoy. On the other side it did provide absurd amounts of materials and geothermal power, one of the two factors that made it so friendly to long term illegal bases.

Vilkas would have been in the scouting group to search for the lab, but the operation barely lasted, the lab barely bothered to hide itself, Vilkas assumed it was because so few ships ever came to this accursed area.

"Captain, my calculations make me believe that I will be better suited to go directly for the scientist. My superior speed is suited for this type of mission and if I do not superheat my tail it is actually useful for the non-lethal take down of target. Furthermore, with this environment, I believe they will try to escape through tunnels or vehicles, even the most armoured of robots can't survive the heat for long, so I will make sure to inform you if I spot their escape method."

@DamnTheGacha The prequel was animated. Its officially on Amazon Prime in English.
@DamnTheGacha I am also big on Yuuki Yuuna, I even made a flowchartfor how to follow the series back in the day (Nogi Wakaba is a Hero is one of my favourite magical girl media, its great.)

Outside of that, I like CCS, some Precure seasons (haven't watched many, but I liked gopri a lot), Symphogear. I also like classic mahou shoujo, though the only old shows I really love are Sally the Witch and Minky Momo (also check out a series on youtube called Mahou Profile for info on classic shows, its great). Not big on Sailor Moon and Madoka but I respect those series a lot.

Ironically, for Hotaru, I think Madoka was the main inspiration, not in mood or character type, but in terms of power and outfit which are very loosely magical without a clear rule on what they have to look like, often taking inspiration in mundane weaponry and military uniforms.

October 21st
Death City, Nevada
Arlette and Keith's Apartment


The morning light gently radiated into Arlette's room, diffused by the curtains it filled the surprisingly well-organized bedroom with a faint orange glow. The room was filled with plants, they were on the floor, on shelves and on the wooden furniture, this was not only because Arlette enjoyed gardening but also because they were essential to keep the air fresh and cool in spite of the Nevada heat. The faint glow was enough to wake the Demon Weapon, who would stir in her bed for a moment before stretching, yawning.

She would look to her side and find her clock to set its alarm off, alarms were annoying by nature, but an unnecessary one ringing was way worse. The clock itself was a classic analogue one, Arlette found the mechanical sounds of the clock lulling, which was good for someone who had trouble sleeping, and furthermore, she just didn't like silence.

Getting up, she would get herself something to wear, shorts with a loose t-shirt would do for the moment, also placing her hair in a ponytail since she would likely be preparing the breakfast. Her mood was bright, she didn't mind Mondays, that was half because she was easy-going, half because she was not putting much of an effort in the classes anyway so weekends and weekdays tended to blur. That said, the news that one's position in the Death Festival would count for their grades did make her a bit annoyed. She was looking forward to it since, to her, battling was fun, especially now that she had a meister, but the use of it as a grading factor added some tension to it. Leave it to schools to turn what could have been fun casual violence into a chore.

Moving to the living room she did notice Keith was not around yet, or more accurately, as she came to learn, he had already been up and left for his training session. It surprised Arlette quite a lot to learn he was an early bird, considering how he was sleepy the rest of the day. Perhaps all the energy he saved was spent on this, or perhaps it was this act that made him sleepy, it was a mystery.

What she knew was that he would likely be hungry when he came back and Arlette herself was always hungry by default so she hurried to the kitchen, to start preparing a nice well served breakfast. She possessed a natural talent for cooking, she was able to discern the taste of the ingredients down to the most minute details and knew exactly when to use, transform, suppress or highlight them. It wasn't something born from deep thinking or focus, as she was still sleepy at the moment, yawning with her eyes barely open, but rather a more instinctual feeling based wit.

Knowing that Keith would come back soon, she would set the table. The amount of food seemed a bit excessive for two people but considering Arlette's appetite it was a modest serving. There was a clear division between her's and her partner's dishes, she had picked up that Keith liked sweeter flavours, they had never talked about it but she could see from his expression, so she made sure to prepare what he would enjoy, french toast with berries and a granola bowl along with a cup of cappuccino. For herself, she preferred things such as omelette, bacon pancakes or ham with cheese along with bitter black coffee, also in an unreasonable quantity.

Looking at her reflection in the dark surface of the coffee she was hit with a sudden uneasy shiver. "Hmm?" she wondered, "Strange for my senses to act up like this at home... Maybe there is something sneaky going on somewhere, I wonder what~♪" she smirked, sipping on the coffee.

♦ Hotaru Hakurai, Magical Girl of Lightning

It was a calm evening for Hotaru, ever since she found the artefact and became a magical girl she had taken the habit of doing nightly patrols around her neighbourhood. She was far from having the experience to not look suspicious, and didn't get yet that it was better to do such things in her magical girl form, but it was a start. Though a less excusable behaviour was having her headphones on while theoretically being on the look out for signs of strange events happening.

No headphone would be able to muffle what she heard however, and it wasn't even anywhere within her neighbourhood! She immediately reacted, raising her arm and allowing the bells of her wristband to ring, this would trigger the transformation though she wouldn't wait patiently for it to be done, the girl already starting to run towards the direction of the loud roar as bolts of electricity shot from nearby power lines and appliances into her clothing, making it glow with an electric cyan light while it shifted.

It didn't take long before she went from the streets to the rooftops of the urban area, jumping from building to building with great speed and grace, an aspect imbued into her from her magical powers, as she made her way across the city blocks, soon arriving at the clear source of the incident.

"What... is that..." the girl said in a confused whisper, holding her scarf over mouth as she tried to be sneaky. She knew there was trouble, she knew she would fight, why else would she be a magical girl, but seeing the enemy in person was another thing entirely, even a girl as confident as Hotaru would find herself vacillating.

Though it all would change once she noticed something, her eyes widening. "Its after a person?" she questioned, as there was more than one type of shriek in the area, and one was clearly born from fear. This made her mind, she wouldn't wait in the shadows any longer, instead her suit glowing bright as she jumped down and ran into the area, aiming for one of the many broken windows, wanting to make her way into the store and rescue the civilian before anything truly terrible happened to them.
This situation... Vilkas was one to keep things simple and logical, emotional behaviour was seen to her as often foreign, but, this once, she found herself gritting her teeth ever so slightly. It brought back bad memories, though even worse than those memories was the realization she only had learned they were bad not too long ago. One just doesn't know how dark things really are until they see a glimpse of light. In such a situation she was caught by surprise by the sudden approach of her superior, her tail tensing up.

"Ah! Ma'am! Yes, I am VILKAS." she said in a startled tone, a rare one for her, it took her a moment for her typical behaviour to return. "Not quite, it seems this mission won't deviate from my typical use in battles, outside of the change to the closed space the illegal laboratory will provide. Well... I do wonder a bit about the nature of these labs..." she vacillated for a moment. "No, I am sorry for my behaviour, it is not my place to wonder about non-vital aspects of the mission. I am ready for deployment."

Now that she was done talking, she really took a moment to observe her superior's outfit. Vilkas really didn't understand fashion, it seemed, and the people who cared about clothing really seemed to have such unusual choices. For the robot who walked with her frame exposed, fancy jackets and hats were really alien, shark themed or not.
