(GS3) Field: Train Station

[Cipher Izanagi]

At the approach of Neo, the map didn't move much, save for a slight rise and fall and rustle of the shoddy paper the map was made out of. It probably became readily apparently that the person was sleeping behind the map, but it was confirmed as soon as the upper edge of the map folded over to reveal the sleeping face of the male. His glasses where sideways on his face and his mouth opening and closing in silent snores. After a few short moments however, Seifer began to sway to the side, falling over and snapping awake, sitting up with a slight yelp. That's when he noticed the person now standing in front of him, probably staring at the way he looked. "Uh... Hi... sorry. Do... you work here? Sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep here. Just this map is really confusing and I couldn't figure out where I should go first." he sighed, standing and bowing in an apology. He obviously had no idea about anything in this area, let alone Neo.

[NeoBuster]

"Hahahaha Its quite alright" Neo said to the stranger.

"My name is Neo, nice to meet you" Neo said to the stranger

"So where is it you have to go?" Neo asked

[Cipher Izanagi]

The male stood fully, picking up his back pack and slinging back over one of his shoulders shrugging slightly. "I really don't know. Figured it'd be better to get someone to show me around honestly, but I'm just a tad bit... Uh, I don't like talking to people sometimes." he laughed sheepishly scratching the back of his head, folding up the map he'd put down and stowing it away. "So if you were willing, I'd like to have you show me some places... if that would be ok?" Seifer asked, extending his right hand to the other boy in offer of a handshake, fixing his glasses with his left.

[NeoBuster]

Neo shaked the strangers hand, although he didnt answer Neo's question about his name right away but Neo didnt worry.

So there are a whole bunch a places to go to. A Park, a beach, cardshops, and the list goes on. So where do you want to go first?" Neo asked the stranger.

[Cipher Izanagi]

"Uh... What's the closest cardshop to here? I wouldn't mind seeing that first." Seifer admitted before scratching the back of his head again. "Ah... how rude of me. My name's Seifer... Nice to meet you Neo." he laughed out of embarassment before pulling the back pack he had onto both shoulders. "But yeah, I'd like to see the card shops first if that's ok."

[NeoBuster]

"Nice to meet you Seifer" Neo replied

And lets go! The first stop on the tour will be Card Capital!" Neo said to Seifer

Neo then walked with Seifer to Card Capital to show him the cardshop but he was wondering what kind of person Seifer was. And if he knew anything about the recent turn of events..

The sign flashed green as the sirens blared indicating that the train had finally reached its destination. Hikaru puts his hood down and stepped out of the train. He was planning on heading to a card shop to settle an issue of his. He has everything he needs to make this work. He then went to the exit heading towards the direction of card Capital.

Satoshi readied himself to catch a train to the airport. Everything he needed to do in his home country of Japan, at least for now, was taken care of. He needed some time away, and while he hadn't exactly been informed of what was going on with the Espoirs, he had gathered his things from Haruka's relatives to make this trip.

As he stepped onto the train, he forwarded a message to everyone in his contacts list: Yukino, Haruka, Neu, Hana and the Espoir residence.

I want to thank all of you for everything you've done. I wish I could send this to everyone else, too, that was in New York. Great things happened. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for the concert, I'm sure it was one of the best things the world has ever seen.

I'm going on a trip to another part of America today, a set of islands called Hawaii. I need to clear my head of a lot of things that have been bothering me. Even if Cray and you all still consider me a champion, I need to believe I'm that champion too. I'm hoping good comes of this. I've been told there's an island circuit, so I guess I can get things going with Genesis, right?

I'll miss you all. I'll try to keep in touch, but honestly, I'm going to try to not speak to anyone as well. While I'm supposed to officially be on my own, I've never really been...well, on my own. So this is a challenge to myself to ready myself for the future.

I love you guys.

He then sent a quick second blurb to the Espoir residence:

Pa wants to do business with the man of the house, by the way. Sounds like you guys are going to have fresh local produce without a hitch.

He gave a small smile and pocketed his phone. Despite his emotional state being fractured, that felt genuinely good to do.

The sun rose on the town of Rijuku, now that a full year has passed ever since the events of the War of Liberation, most of the fighters who fought for their futures in New York have returned to the place that started it all. As the train pulled over at the Train Station of Rijuku, a young man steps out of the Train as he makes his return to Rijuku.

His Phone Rings

"...Seifer...oh..he's really done a lot for himself." he said, as he began reading the message he received. "...I guess I should make that place my first stop....it sure has been a while Rijuku...wonder if everyone arrived or not."

As the young man began walking out of the station his phone caught a ray of sunlight revealing a name tag on the phone, Tsubasa Hayato.

[Cece Lockhart]

"Now arriving at Rijuku station"

The intercom announced. Noel was going, more like ordered, to go to one of the most prestigious schools found in Rijuku. However, that wasn't part of her to do list. Using her wits, she managed to persuade her parents that she wants to investigate how the "normal life" is so that she can use what she sees as a way to cater to more potential customers for the family business. Of course that too, was a lie. Noel really wanted to run away from everything and start new, to have her own voice heard. Her very existence being dictated by strict living expectations was something she never really liked since it made her feel more like a robot being programmed to do business than to be a human being.

"It's time to go, Ashlei." Noel said quietly while holding a deck box that held her first vanguard deck that she built all on her own. A Jewel Knight deck, one unique since it wasn't dictated on how to build it but to how she wanted it to be built. Pure Heart Jewel Knight, Ashlei, the Vanguard unit given to her by Noel's half-brother, Seifer, many years ago. The driving force to search for an identity that she can be confident about began when Noel received the card. Noel hopes that one day she can meet with her half-brother once more, who is not seen highly among her family nor talked about, so that she can thank him and have their first Cardfight using the very same card he has given to her.

With the train stopping at the station, the doors open and Noel walks out the train and begins her journey

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

The final train made its stop as the doors slowly opened. The train was a late runner, not many would be taking it. However, there was one taking it even at a time like this. Half asleep, the boy heard the announcement that it had arrived at his destination. As if an alarm, he awoke from his half asleep stupor and made him rise from his seat. He let out a yawn before he grabbed his large bag as well as his backpack. It was all the luggage he had to his name, at least for now.

The boy stepped off the train, a step outside and the doors closed behind him. He let out a small sigh and thought to himself, This is the place, right? They said something about me being here. I had an address but I did just wake up. He rubbed his eye lightly as he started to look for a map of some kind. He needed something if he was going to try and find his way.

[Hyo]

*Boards off train and takes a whiff of the air
Sly thinks to himself... ''This is some really disgusting air''...
After deciding this air isn't worth savoring, he lights a cig and tilts it into his mouth and proceeds to walk.
''Err... I'm lost... great...'' he mutters to himself and then thinks about Vanguard! hmph He wonders if someone who plays Vangaurd can show him the way. Then he runs to the top platform and yells
MY NAME IS SYLVESTER RHODES AND I HAVE ARRIVED!

[Cipher Izanagi]

Seifer had ran quite a ways from the park, somehow making his way here and crawling into a hidden space away from prying eyes before slumping against the wall, and passing out. His head was slumped to the side... However, around his body was an aura of a weak flame, the edges a dark ominous red. Down the right side of his face as well was something that looked almost like a red fang, coming out from the bottom right corner of his eye and extending out just a little bit toward the side of his head. The brunette was in a ton of pain, but unconscious, he thankfully couldn't feel a thing. How long would it take for someone to stumble across this bizarre and alarming scene?

[OverDrive]

Tsubasa had used the train less often lately ever since he began living with Neu for some time, though now that she is away he tries not to rely on the same schedule as much and go back to the usual, one thing that continued to bother him is where all of his friends were lately, he'd heard tht not many ppl are showing up at school for some reason.

The train had just arrived and he had just stepped out of it, until he noticed that something felt odd..
"..Why do I feel so strange..I can hear something buy I can't tell..." he thought.

He began to look around the station trying to pinpoint what felt strange until he noticed a red glow hidden below some stairs, the glow was familiar if not for the slight black outlines on it...

He approaches the glow and is immediately surprised by the person he sees, it was Seifer, he had to get him out but he was not sure what the aura would do...it felt as if it was protecting him..

He decides to try and carry him out of the situation and to his surprise the aura does nothing to him, and surprisingly Seifer is not so...heavy, "What is going on here...the aura change is one thing...but why Is he so light..." he thought.

He places Seifer on the ground in front of him as he tries to re-awaken him,"Seifer..Seifer..hey you ok man?" he said, as he started yapping his shoulder."What on earth....What's with that mark on his face....no it can't be..."he thought as a look of concern and fear filled his expression .

[Cipher Izanagi]

Seifer's face contorted in pain as he lay there, still completely unconscious. He didn't move and it almost didn't seem like he was breathing. The one single reverse marking glowed brightly for a few moments before dulling to a dark crimson color. The aura died down as well even though the mark continued to linger, as if it was now a permanent tattoo. The brunette continued to seem like he was in immense pain though, even if he wasn't presently awake. He didn't respond at all to any of Tsubasa's attempts to wake him either.
