(GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District

[Beryl]

"My name is Satoshi Kurosaki. I'm from the countryside, and yes, I do play Vanguard---wait, are you asking me to play after calling me a stalker?!"

He shrugged. "Well, if that's what it'll take for you to understand I'm not one, Miss...er..."

[Azuki Frappé]

"My name's Ighanna R. Colberg, I came here from the United Kingdom" she said trying to act like a foreigner. Perhaps the different culture could be why she viewed Satoshi-kun as a stalker, maybe here isn't as bad as the UK.

"I'm sorry for calling you a stalker, lets relax with a game of Vanguard instead" Ighanna apologized as she grabs out her deck.

[Helios]

I speed up to the mysterious guy, "Awww come on. You cant just be on the standby. And besides all these people are so enveloped in their own types of people." I turn serious. "Look, directing other people away from you won't get you anywhere. When I was growing up, I lived in a big, big house with only my mother and sister. Besides them, I was alone, shy, and didn't want anything to do with all this city life. But ever sense I have started coming to this blooming city, I've hardly felt that way. So how about this, we cardfight. If you win, I will leave you alone. But if I win, you tell me your name and we go tour the city. That is unless you are to chicken to fight me."

Of course, Jellal could've easily ignored attempt of a taunt. However, his incident today left him weak. Everything he's ever done from that day til now has all been to gather as much strength to needed to cope. It was like after today, he felt completely empty, all of himself was gone, and he needed to pick himself back up. Perhaps that's why he was staring and watching people cardfight: to get himself mentally involved.

He turned. "Sure." He said with a weak level of confidence, although in his eyes were the resolve he found earlier. "I don't plan on taking it easy on you either, so you better be ready." The cold Jellal had resurfaced once more as the chilly wind went through both fighters as Jellal entered the collected area, standing beside an empty fight table. He grabbed the ruffled and tored up motion figure system glove that was left on the cold iron of the table. Firmly adjusting it to fit his hand, he grabbed his deck and sat it face down after removing a card to the Vanguard Circle and shuffling the deck.

The close game finishes in my favor. "So Jellal is the name. It was nice playing with you, and maybe we can go touring tomorrow as it is getting a little late and I have stuff to tend to at home. I bid you a farewell, my friend."

I turn around and start walking the other way toward the train station. I turn my head around, but still maintain my walking pace. Yelling to Jellal I say, "I hope to see you tomorrow so we can tour the city, there is a lot more out there than you might think!"

Jellal stares at his Shadow Paladin deck.

"Another loss" he thought to himself as Hazama disappeared from his line of vision. He looked at the Blaster Dark that made his way into the damage zone. It was the only one he ran. Jellal sighed as he packed up his cards and placed them in the deck case, staring at it with frustration.

"It's almost like you guys don't want to work." he said out loud. It was strange, someone who rejected the idea of being able to talk to cards, was talking to his cards. However, him staring at the cards was for no reason, he knew that the cards had some way of reaching out to their fighters. He wasn't sure how it was possible but he knew that some were able to and others were not.

"...Whatever." he thought. "It's not like I'm your fighter anyway." The way he said that, implied that the Shadow Paladin that he held dear to him weren't his.

    Hana felt well rested, having just woken up from her nap at home. She yawned with her hand over her mouth. All around her were the other shoppers walking about, families, lovers, and people of all kinds. But she couldn't hear much of the surrounding noise herself as she was listening to music through the earbuds in her ears. She inhaled deeply and took out her phone, her music still playing and earphones connected. She slid her fingers across the screen and then tapped it lightly to open up the internet browser. Large letters flashed onto the screen.

"EGGS ON SALE! SUCH DISCOUNT! MANY DEALS!"

    Hana's love for eggs stems from her love of cooking, which due to her upbringing, she never did much. She's always been raised with servants who would cook whatever she wanted, and a sister who would often purchase for her her favorite foods. Because of this, Hana is terrible at cooking, despite her love for it. This was a discovery she only made recently. The only substance that Hana can actually cook successfully is eggs. She feels like a real professional whenever she make an omelette, and she often loves to invite her sister home for dinner whenever she cooks her specialty omurice, a variant of her delicious omelette, but with rice.

"Right then!" Hana looked determined, running off to the direction of the grocery store, eggs are the best.

[MaXtreme]

Returning from his win at Card Capital, Itou heads to the Shopping District to buy some food for him, and the moment he gets there he hears a shout on an egg sale. Immediately he gets there and shoves everyone else out of the line so he can get the cheap goods, but when he got there there was only enough eggs for 1 person, so he ran with all his strength, getting inside at the same time as Hana, who seemed as determined as Itou was for those eggs.

[Hope]

Hana fooled him into slowing down, Hana had successfully obtained the eggs.

[MaXtreme]

Tricked into a cardfight for the sake of the eggs, Itou walks back home without knowing the name of the girl who stole his bargain and ends his day with a weird dream, he saw someone calling for him, and sees again the mysterious shop he saw the other day when running after the thief. Could it have a deeper meaning? What if it was all made up? The feeling of curiosity is driving Itou towards the next day

[Helios]

"Ahhh, look how busy it is today. Hopefully that means I can test out the power of my new card," I think to myself. And the timing is just to perfect, I see an old friend sitting down on a bench looking through his deck.

"TSUBASA!!!!" I yell as I start catching up to my friend. "Tsubasa, remember me, Hazama. And you cant believe it. Yesterday I went to this shop and this creepy lady fought me. Then she gave me a card I have never seen before. So want to help me test it out?" I ask him finally getting to my point.

[OverDrive]

"This busy atmosphere is a bit bothersome..might as well find a somewhat secluded area to look through my deck" I think to myself.
 
After finding a bench on the side I start looking at my cards and pondering about several strategies that I can use.

Suddenly, while deep in thought, I hear a distinct voice calling my name. As I looked around I neither saw nor heard anyone call my name. For a moment I thought that I was going crazy as I started to question myself, "Did the cards just..."

Before I can call back to my deck I realize that in reality an old friend was trying to reach out to me from the crowd, It was Hazama all along. "Oh...wow I can't believe that I actually thought...nah thts enough," I thought to myself. "Hey Hazama, of course I remember you,it's good to see you again" I said with a smile.

I listen to his tale, and then I start talking.

"You were given a mysterious card from a 'creepy lady' huh, well in that case let's not waste anymore time show me your new strength."

[MaXtreme]

After his attempt of pursing the car Itou is in the Shopping District, and then he remembers the shop he saw on the other day and decides to look for it, but the weird part is that even after checking every inch of the area he doesn't seem to get it, as if what he saw the other day was not there anymore, he keeps walking in the crowd in the hope of finding something...

[Kuro]

With his stomach growling more than ever before, Haruki had finally made it to Hoshiko. Anything and everything was found here, and that included great food. But of course, luck wasn't in store for Haruki, as he soon realized had no money on him to get something to eat.

"Auauu~!" he whimpered, as all hope seemed lost. Haruki dragged his feet to a bench and sat down, searching through his bag for anything useful he might have missed.

[MaXtreme]

Still wandering around Itou tries to remember his dream where he was dragged into a shop, but the only thing he remembers is that he did not walk in alone, he decides to buy a drink to refresh himself after his run and decides to ask people to see if he gets any useful information.

[Kuro]

Still searching through what he had on him, Haruki stumbled across a marvelous find in his collection. The apology cookie that he had been holding onto for a while, still fresh in its package, and chocolate chip too! He tore off the wrapper and ate the treat with glee.

After finishing his cookie, Haruki looked at the valuables he collected the day before and noticed something tagged on the keys. "Rijiku Aparments - 203"

"My next clue! Nice, nice!"

The fight was really intense. Tsubasa really utilized the power of the Royal Paladins, by using Akane's skill to get out Pongal from the deck. Each turn got more intense by strengthening our forces even more.

"Ride!" "Call!" "Skill!" "Attack!" "Trigger!" is what the battle was like 90% of the time.

The outcome was in Tsubasa's favor by me decking out from a stupid, retarded, draw trigger. Heres how it happened.

On his turn I was taking my fifth damage on his last attack while I had 5 cards in left in the deck. I check a draw, which leaves 3 cards left in deck. I draw for my turn which leaves 2 cards left in deck. He was at three damage, and with me being at grade 3, my loss was inevitable. Though if I didn't check that draw, I would have used Stil Vampir's megablast and put Wingal Brave to the Vanguard Circle. That would have reduced his shield to only 25k. With my columns so devastating, thanks to the three Doreens in backrow, his Wingal Brave wouldn't have stood a chance against my assault.

Overall the game was really great, and I hope we will meet again someday.

Also after the game he laughed because he has never had an enjoyable fight like this one. Then he said, "Well I don't laugh very much, so I can see that you are a skilled player."

After the little conversation, I gathered my belongings and went to explore the city. Though, as usual, I turned my head around and said, "Until Next time!" Then, I walked off.
