(GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District

[Jello]

Haruka was back at the counter, nodding every so often to remind Satoshi he was still listening while he was polishing some silverware and mugs and things of the sort. Apparently he had a vision, something about a black ring.

Nothing Haruka had heard of, but he was unsure of what any of this meant. What those black rings were, what they meant to Satoshi, or what they really would have meant to anybody. In fact, just the term "black ring" can mean so much and Haruka had just made a vague guess of what it looked like in his head. He stopped polishing the silver pitcher for a moment, making thinking faces for a moment.

"Dishonesty indeed... Well, maybe its like those criminal detective shows where like, you have plausible deniability or something. Won't get involved or whatever. I know if I could avoid being a target of something at all costs, I would." Haruka resumed polishing, clacking his heels against the wooden floor. Gum stuck to the bottom his shoe.

Ughhhhhhhhh...

He put the pitcher down for a moment, leaning on the counter and sending out a quick message. Something he's meant to do since she got back.

"hey yukinoms (im not calling u yuugere. not happening.) we should meet up soon! im free today after work, sound good 2 u? -haru"

He hit send and sent his phone back into the void of his slacks pocket. Hopefully she was free tonight. He really wanted to talk to her tonight. Not particularly about the whole cheating dilemma, but just about, well, things. Important things.

[Beryl]

"Yeah, I know." Satoshi took a sip of his espresso and grinned. Yep, it was as delicious as it smelled. Good work, Haruka.

"So how's school going?"

[Cherry]

"You can call me Yukino. Tell me where you want to meet and I'll be there."

[Jello]

Satoshi commented on school to Haruka' only response was boring. Making a fuss about Cardfight club wasn't really thing, however.

"im heading the park like after liek usual . there? -haru"

[Cherry]

"Sure."

[Hope]

The driver this time was a much more sane one, but he still go the three to the shopping district in good time.

City lights were slowly turning on now, welcoming the night. Isabella originally had the idea of helping Sliffer find a gift for Rosalia since she thought that they looked nice as a couple, but she also now had to thank Tsubaka who tagged along as well. Oh right, he can probably get a gift for the Messiah if he wants. She walked along one of the corner stores nearby where driver-san dropped them off and she waited for them to get out of the card and make their way here.

"So you both have girlfriends! Wow! Amazing, so I originally was going to help Sliffer get something for Rosalia, but since Tsubaka, you helped out too, I owe you one as well. Doesn't have to be a present for Neu or anything, I can treat you to dinner haha..." She also wanted advice on it strangely, the situation with Haruka-kun and all that was in between, but she'll wait for her responses first and slowly go into the conversation as they begin walking along to do their shopping


Neu texted Tsubasa:
"Oh my me I just saw that. You were cool and all, really, but oh man please tell me you're ok. Not hurt or anything? I'm worried sick here! - <3 Neu."

[Cipher Izanagi]

Well this was new. Seifer had never been driven around before, so it was definitely an experience. In any case, Seifer didn't know why they'd been brought here, but didn't complain. However all was revealed when Hana had mentioned girlfriends. How did she find out? Or was just just assuming? She was right now in any case but... Yeah, he did want to buy something nice for Rosalia. "I kind of want to get her something nice something like... Hm..." the male crossed his arms thinking and looking down at the ground as they waited for Tsubasa. Just what did he want to get for Rosalia? What would she even like?

[OverDrive]

The drive to the shopping district went by smoothly giving the three some time to relax, though it became clear why Hana wanted to give them a drive as she started referring to their girlfriends. At first Tsubasa was surprised by Seifer's situation with Rosalia but he expected it so it was not something far fetched. Before he could give a reply he heard his phone buzzing so he quickly checked to respond.

"..Oh.." he thought,. "My guardian angel..heh."
"Haha, don't worry i'm not so easily taken down, you of all people should know about that , though thanks for keeping an eye on me love, just focus on feeling better yourself ."

Putting his phone away, as the three got out of the car, he began to answer Hana's question, "Anything would be fine Hana I appreciate your hospitality, I already got her something and when I do get her something else i'll have a pretty good idea about what it will be." he said, giving a wink and a smile, as well as looking up to the sky and winking hoping that she saw him.

He gave a slight nudge to Seifer with his shoulder, "So.. I guess it's official eh?" he said, with a grin on his face.

"What about you are you gonna get something for Haruka?" he asked, turning his attention back to Hana.

[Hope]

"Maybe cute trinkets and stuff? Also yeah, congrats on Red-chan. I figure you guys are together now since you didn't protest to me calling her your girlfriend." Isabella laughed. "So I guess since Tsubasa doesn't need anything, let's focus on Seifer! Yay! Congrats!" She clapped her hands for him, the burns on her wrist stinging a little as she did so she lowered it down a notch.

Getting Haruka-kun something?

Oh right. With all the time that she's been spending with him, she didn't even think of getting him anything, she felt that her presence was enough, but she assumed that she should while she can. He liked coffee, so something with that would make him happy? A coffee machine..? He would already own one, plus that's too bulky. She'll figure it out later. The reason why she was here was because she made a special order in a jewelry store here for matching necklaces. That was the one they were standing in front of now.

"Um.. right." She paused for a moment and opened the door the nearby jewelry store, "Actually, I ordered a present for Mi-hime here a few months back, but it ended up getting finished quite late... for our anniversary. being together for a year. I guess I can get Haruka-kun something too.."

That felt weird to say, just too weird.

Neu replied:
"Ok... Ok! Good. I have to go to the nightly check up now, I'll talk to you later! Stay safe. - <3 Neu"

[Cipher Izanagi]

At the teasing from both his face turned red but he merely nodded, looking around the stores. He noticed something that piqued his interest though. Something that he could get for Rose. Though that was reaaaaaaally expensive. It looked pretty though. It was a white moon with a blue gem and red gem embedded in it, laced with a silver chain that she can use to wear around her neck. However he was wrenched from his thoughts by his phone vibrating. Pulling it out he saw it was his sister, one he had to reply to.

'I didn't think you hated me. I just didn't know how to approach you about what happened afterwards. And sorry for not messaging a whole lot. I've just been a bit busy lately. I'll remember to try and text you more. And dreams? What kind of dreams?' he pressed the send button hoping she'd get back to him soon about it. Something like that worried him. Turning his attention back to the pendent though, he stayed staring at it, going over a lot of things in his head.

[Hope]

Upon entering the shop, she decided to make a usual roudabout window shoppig, looking all the cool things that they had. She walked over to Seifer who seemingly found what he wanted in almost and instant. The way the jewel shined, the shape, and stoned embedded definitely must have symbolized a lot to him.

She patted him in the back to gain his attention, "Isn't her name... Mooncrest?" That took almost all of Isabella's mind processing power to rememer. She looked closely at the price tag. "Oh my.."

"Hey Seifer, I can help you pay for it since I do kind of owe you one!"

[Cipher Izanagi]

At the pat the brunette stiffened, looking over his shoulder at Hana, then back at the pendent. "...Are you sure?.. That's really... Really expensive. Even more so than the work I did is worth." he paused for a moment while biting his lip and nodding slightly glancing down. "...In all reality yeah... I want to get it for her. And yes her name is Mooncrest so... I think she'd really like this. As well as the gems representing us." he admitted the last part about the jewels with an embarrassed laugh.

[OverDrive]

Seifer and Hana were busy looking through the jewelry for their companions, while Tsubasa felt like he was being unfair to Neu in this situation. To him most of the jewelry in front of him was nothing amazing until he spotted one necklace that just drew his attention from the rest, it had a blue gem with wings attached to it, this was by far the one that attracted his attention. He remembered that Neu was doing her check-ups so he immediately, disregarding the hefty price tag, asked the clerk to get it for him as he hid it quickly within the small box and headed back to the two.

"..Did you guys get anything?" he asked, smiling.

"..Hopefully she did not see it.." he thought. "..Would not be as surprising."

[Hope]

"Well the service you did for Umano today was beyond any sort of help money could buy so, I'll pay for it, no problem." She asked one of the store employees set up the necklace for he and informed them abput te purchase. It was put into a nice box and furthur protected inside a small leather bag. it was handed to Seifer as she paid for it with a card.

"Well, you really should tell me about you guys sometime. Hard to imagine a guy like you being a softie for her. Must be nice." She was somewhat envious. Turning to Tsubaka she also replie to hos question, "Ah, mine is still getting prepared, but we are."

[Cipher Izanagi]

Seifer accepted the packaged and protected gift for his girlfriend gingerly, cradling it between his hands as if any slight movement would destroy it. Holding it close to his  chest he nodded his thanks before turning red again at what Hana just said. "Do I really come off as someone who can't be soft?" he asked glancing to the side. Now that he thought about it, he didn't really know what anyone really thought about him, though what Hana had did for him just now was worth more than any thanks. Even if she said it was to pay him back, he was going to try and find a way to pay the idol back. Though, what do you get an idol? "And I uh... I guess if you wanna know stuff ask any questions?" he spoke hesitantly, not sure how to word it, and not even really sure what he should tell her.
