[x] If Evelyn is cold you have the perfect solution. Hug her and share body warmth.
-[X] In fact, hugs for everyone sound good right about now.
[X] Leave for home and dinner.
"Yeah, I guess it's time to go home," you are forced to admit after a moment's pause. You've all played enough magical dodge-tag tonight to have learned a thing or two about running away. You shouldn't push it, especially given that two of your friends can only watch from the sidelines as you are having the time of your lives.
Moderation is key!
"Come on, let's go get Evelyn and Mariko!" you continue while hastily brushing away the remaining specks of snow stuck in your uniform. At the same time, Ariane floats up from the ground with her levitation and Kishi starts taking a few steps forward to the pair near the bench.
As you near the two girls, your mind finds itself back on the uneasy thought of Evelyn having been left in the cold by you. The school uniforms were not really designed for staying outside for long, after all. Fortunately, you have a great solution ready for such a problem.
You start grinning from ear to ear while you approach Evelyn, and you can see how she seems to tense up, anticipating something from you. You spread your arms innocuously in response, which seems to make her ease up a little… Just in time for your sneaky surprise attack!
You leap at Evelyn, arms first, and wrap yourself around her and the plushes on her arms. The girl stumbles a bit, but manages to keep her footing steady enough to not fall over. "Uh, Tamiko? What are you doing?"
"I'm hugging you," you state brightly. "Duh!"
"Oh alright… But why?"
"Because you looked cold! And I thought this way we could share body warmth." You pause for a moment and give a quick look at everyone present. "Everyone jump in! It's a group hug!"
It takes only a moment for Ariane to collide into the pile from above and hug both of you, with an accompanied loud, "Wheee!" following the contact. Evelyn groans from the weight on her, but doesn't really voice her complaints otherwise. You think you can see some tinges of red on her cheeks, but it could just be your imagination playing tricks on you.
You cling onto Evelyn for a while before finally letting go as no one else is joining the hugpile. You pout a little and turn to look at Kishi and Mariko standing in the side. "Aww, why deny the hugs?"
'S-sorry!' Kishi sends to you through telepathy. 'But I thought you two could warm Evelyn well enough there.'
Mariko nods along slowly, while shifting her weight from one foot to another.
They probably have good excuses, even if they don't stop you from pouting. "Oh well, your loss…" you say and turn around to give your friends a quick follow-up hug before continuing. "But we are mostly finished here now, right? Is everyone going home?"
"Well, it's getting actually late..." Evelyn says and gives a look at Ariane still clinging to her. "I don't suppose your aide would be willing to give me a ride back home?"
"Oh, and me too!" you hastily pipe in, happy about the prospect of having company on your way home. "Kishi, Mariko, what about you?"
"Uh, sorry, I'll pass," Mariko says. "I live around here, so I'm going to walk back home."
'M-me too,' Kishi follows after her, much to your surprise. 'S-sorry, but I still have personal stuff to do in the city... I-I'll catch you tomorrow like we agreed! O-okay?'
"That's fine too!" you say after mulling over it for a moment. "Tomorrow on the agreed time over at my home! I'll also be seeing you, Mariko…"

You are Kishi Koufuku, a third year Middle School student, and a Magical Girl. Normally girls of your age wouldn't ever find themselves standing in the middle of the abandoned junkyard in the city. But you're not really a person that deserves to be called normal, now are you?
Tick, tock
You take a look around for the umpteenth time to make sure no one is around to witness what you're going to do. Showing yourself to others with they way you are… Well, you have no desire to deal with that. For that, the junkyard is perfect. Here you can experiment with your magic in peace. You'd prefer if you didn't have to, but you need your magic to keep living, no matter how much it dismays you.
Tick, tock
It's been a few days since you came here the last time, and that was to adjust your repertoire to account for Tamiko and Ariane's presence and magical abilities. However, now that Mariko of all people is seeming to become a regular ally in the hunts, you're once more forced to account for her presence. It's almost surreal to think about how you now fight alongside her, considering everything that has happened between you...
Tick, tock
At least she is sorry about her actions, even if she doesn't realize everything she caused yet.
Tick, tock
Regardless, with her there, you'll need to adjust your fighting style again. From what you could do against the weird reflection witch, Mariko's abilities mesh well with you, considering that she can trap even fast enemies given the chance to concentrate. The creatures trapped are easy fodder for your guns.
Tick, tock
Furthermore, the protection from the force fields is something that give more options for a less reckless and aggressive approach. You have the evening to yourself to think about things.
