::Onni, you find yourself at Auld Lang Syne, a hostess club across the street from Labirinto, the curio store run by Darklord Morningstar, better known to everyone as "Owner".

There you find Hayate in his usual duster jacket and bird mask, escorting a cute Japanese-Russian looking woman.::

We really need to have a discussion about this, Homura. Especially since you came back from your extended trip in Hawaii.

Hayate, I hate to bring your worldview into sharp realization but uh.

We are the Men in Black. That couldn't be more our mission statement.

[soundofthestorm]

The ACTUAL Men in Black.

[becomeanwarrior]

That's still us.

Like we are literally endorsed by my cousin's governmental regime as the gold standard of law enforcement, and we are about making sure we bring peace and stability and normalcy to an increasingly un-normal country.

Our staff is largely comprised of ex-law enforcement, private military contractors, and corporate black-ops, with a smattering of weird one-off vigilantes who are better working for us than anyone else.

We have an entire wing of Sector Security just about things normal people are not allowed to know to avoid mass hysteria and riots.

...I can get us the suits if you think it'll help sell the image.

Yeah I'm not talking about you or me, I'm talking about THEM.

A beyond-national organization that operates under no government and works for the Illuminati.

[becomeanwarrior]

Well. I don't think the Illuminati is actually real but rest assured if they are you're in the position to be the first person to know about it.

Either way - this whole thing about Hibiki trying to make you an Illusion Witch - any side effects, aside from, y'know, the obvious?

[soundofthestorm]

Kungfu based magic but I don't know much about it and no interest exploring it. Also, I keep feeling everything chaffs and I keep whining.

[becomeanwarrior]

Yeah those last two are expected, actually. And really? No interest in kung-fu based magic?

[soundofthestorm]

I punch the wrong way and Katie ends up Commissioner and you become my partner

[becomeanwarrior]

You should at least know -how- to use the power even if you don't want to...

[Rubs temples.]

Okay, Hayate, here's how this is going to work. I trust you, but I want reports delivered either to me or Katie about your condition on... let's call it a week-to-week basis.

Since becoming an Illusion Witch usually fundamentally breaks your brain a little.

And it's possible there might still be lingering effects if you have this power.

Do this for me and I'll make sure to keep any public records that might hint you're like this scrubbed so you don't get picked up by the 'Men in Black'.

Does that seem like an amenable arrangement?

[soundofthestorm]

Yes.

Just don't tell my fiancee. She'll have a nervous breakdown.
