((I think the tactics thing was them saying that Victoria and Haruka should know each other's powers for the purpose of tactics.))

[TCM]

Alanis finds a 'Customer Support' area, stocked by a single woman in a blue uniform filing her nails.
When Alanis questions her, she continues to focus on her nails.

((I think the tactics thing was them saying that Victoria and Haruka should know each other's powers for the purpose of tactics.))

The issue with that is the Simulators are all focused on altering the perceptions of the users, so none of them would be accurate. You two would be better off finding some non-simulator area and practicing in reality.
It so happens there is a 'Mojo Dojo' in the Arcade, which is similar to the Shooting Range except it is for practice and sport of martial arts and non-shooting weapons.

But Victoria's weapons are shooting weapons

[TheBiggerFish]

"A-HEM.  This is actually a serious issue.  Please actually pay attention or find someone who will before I figure out what I could sue you for."

The woman's hands now have blinking blue arrows pointing at Alanis hovering over them.

But Victoria's weapons are shooting weapons

Well shit.
Hey look it's, "Super Generic Fight Training Brawl Simulator Man Was This Thing Made Ad Hoc or What".
The woman looks up at Alanis without moving the position of her head. "What happened."

[Chevaleresse]

"...I guess we could try that one," Haruka says, pointing to SGFTBSMWTTMADW. "A simulated fight might be fun."

[Twinwolf]

"I guess. No magic though. I think we can hit each other with our weapons just fine but using magic darkens the Soul Gem."

[Chevaleresse]

"Okay, sounds good. Although, if it's a simulator, it shouldn't use our actual magic, right?" Haruka proceeds toward the game.

[TCM]

Haruka and Victoria enter into a plain, large open white room. A screen appears before each of them. They can select the rules, from everything to first blood, to points per hit, to knockout to death (death in the simulation, fortunately), as well as a location. The location list is large, ranging from everything from a Grand Roman Arena, to an open field, to a fight club in the basement of a bar. The location list even has a search function, meaning any location they would want to fight in is likely there if they look it up.

[Chevaleresse]

"Hmm. . . maybe we should do points per hit? I don't know where we should fight, I don't think there's an option for 'inside a witch's barrier,' heh."

[Twinwolf]

"Yeah, I guess that'd give us the longest time to talk."

[TheBiggerFish]

"When I attempted to look at a Planck length resolution picture in A Life Well Lived, the sim didn't render anything at all and subsequently went massively bonkers.

I mean, Zalgo-level bonkers.  Synthesesia I don't have, physics breaking, memory corruption or something where everything just went...Escher and body horror and...Yeesh.  Trauma.  Then it crashed.  After several minutes of everything just getting worse and not one but seven universe-destruction vignettes."

[Chevaleresse]

Haruka presses buttons for "points per hit" and "random location."

[TCM]

The woman stares at Alanis. "...if you mess with the game, that happens."
RANDOM LOCATION: BAZAAR FIGHTING RING

Haruka and Victoria watch the room change seamlessly around them. They are now at two separate ends of a large boxing-style ring. The sky is blue and the air is hot. Around them are buildings and stalls of an Arabic style, and immediately around the ring is a clammoring crowd, yelling in one incomprehensible buzz as money, goods and livestock are changed through various hands.

Two holographic numbers appear above the ring: 0 - 0

"I'm sorry, you're saying that 'the game turned into a bizzarre eldritch horrorfest' is a natural consequence of a career in quantum physics?  No.  Not buying it.

Especially as the game clearly supports achieving this action within normal play.  I changed no settings.  The settings do not exist to change.  I did not attempt to intentionally break the game."
