(GS3) Field: Rijuku Park

[Crystalia]

After hearing Haruka's reply, she was slightly confused. 'Forgot to text her? She was glaring at you that much because of that? Mannn being a footstool must be a dangerous job'.

She was sitting back, watching what was going on, when Hana suddenly through out an idea.
'Do I want to go buy dog food with you? Sure I can Hana-chan~'. She might as well go for another walk, it's not like it'd hurt to walk with Hana for a bit.

[Jello]

Haruka heard the voice again.

"Get over here, wolf boy! I'll put a couple holes in ya-" Haruka was genuinely confused at this point. With no other way around this, he simply spoke up. "V-Vortimer... Who are you talking to?" He whispered to his pocket. He was ninety-nine percent sure he looked like a weirdo but he stopped caring at this point.

Haruka looks up at Yukino, who seems to be feeling a bit happier, and much more relieved. He was genuinely concerned about earlier and how her mood shifted so suddenly, but he decided to leave those questions to when they weren't all out with friends. Not the best time, assuredly.

With a check of his watch, Haruka realized how tired he really was. He looked over at Hana, who had suddenly realized she still needed food for her dog.

Oh right, the Labrador. Guess I should probably head out too then...

Miyuki +1 AP

With that, Haruka gives off parting words. "I guess that's good night, then."

[Cherry]

"You little sh-" Ezel whacked Garmore before the wolf could finish.

"Haruka, do you want to stay over at the mansion with Satoshi and I tonight?" Seeing that he was leaving and Hana was going to replenish the dog's food supplies, the queen decided to focus on gathering people with answers. Haruka could've been one of those people and she's not letting him get away.

[Jello]

The words from his pocket seemingly vanished as well. However before that happened, he did hear what sounded like the roar of a dragon. Spectral Duke Dragon?

He turned around and looked at Yukino and Satoshi. "Eh, are you sure? It might be a bit crowded that way." Haruka wasn't exactly making an excuse, but he felt as though he was treading on land even angel's feared to tread. But he really was interested in staying the night. It's been awhile since they stayed there. If he remembers that night correctly...

"U-Uh, yeah, sure I'll stay over. Lemme just go home and grab clothes or something to sleep in. I'm sure the staff'll remember me after all that hell. Y-Yeah, okay I'm gonna go. Like now." Haruka is mostly rambling off to Yukino and Satoshi before making a swift escape.

Awkwaaaaaarddddd. Haruka starts his walk to his apartment for his snack stash and a change of clothes.

[Cherry]

Garmore let out a ferocious howl. It was go time.

Haruka was probably still scarred by Father Espoir nearly bashing his face in, making him become one with the carpet. His stammering and blabbing made her laugh though, as she very much enjoyed watching him stagger through things like a lost dork. A laugh she needed too, as it took some of the heavy weight on her heart off. Yugure also told Satoshi to go on ahead, just reminding the staff who he is.

Yukino, wanting to stay close to Hana, followed behind the dog-food buying group.

[Azuki Frappé]

Ighanna catches Yukino and Haruka with each other along with Satoshi, she secretly thinks what a great married couple they could make. Despite this Metatron has already sensed some kind of energy coming from them, especially Yukino, she probably uses Gold Paladin as Metatron heard "Garmore" talk for a bit earlier, however the content wasn't absorbed into her mind so she forgot, clumsy Metatron. Realizing that she was a bit too late to offer everyone a drive, she quickly calls her chauffeur to send her off at the Dog Store in order to give them all a nice drive and buy food for her dog, Iggy. They were planning to have a sleepover at the Espoirs didn't they, makes it much more convenient.

[NeoBuster]

It was the beginning of a new day for Neo. After staying over at Tsubasa's  house for the night. Neo heading back to the park to think about the events of yesterday. He knew he had to improve his Narukami if he wanted to find out the answers why his parents vanished. But first there was something else he wanted to find out.. "Where did Narukami come from?" Neo asked himself. He didnt have any leads but he knew of one person who knew something about it... "Hazama.." Neo said with a determined look. So Neo set off leaving the park and he knew what the task at hand was: Find Hazama and find more answers about Narukami. But while Neo was leaving the park, he couldnt get the people he met last night out of his head.. "Why do I keep having flashbacks of last night?" Neo said. He was one who didnt believe in friends and trusting others. Before last night Neo hadnt smiled or showed any emotion intil Hana gave him the dog food to eat. She did it because he was hungry. However.. "No.. Theres no times for fun, my mission comes first and I know where to go!" So Neo set off to find Hazama and demand the answers he wanted.

[Hope]

She proceeded to walk into the park along with Pr❤ism. In the distance she noticed someone who looked very familiar from yesterday. Yes, it was DogeKaiser (Nickname now finalized). Pr❤ism woofed and barked, in a happy way, probably finding some connection to him, most likely because, after all, they did eat the same dog food. She walked toward him to greet him hello and to introduce him to her dog.

[NeoBuster]

Oh its Hana and Prism" Neo said. He waved hello to both. "Hey Hana, wanted to say thanks again for last night" Neo said. Neo was unsure how he wanted to see Hana: As a friend or just another fighter. Neo still had alot on his mind but the "mission" was a priority. Neo then asked Hana the same thing he asked Yukino last night "Do you know anything about clans disappearing and being replaced with different clans?"

[Hope]

"Clans disappearing?" she asked herself, "do I tell him?"

She looked back to last night and remembered that Yukinee has already given him some info. Also since he wasn't that bad of a guy it wouldn't hurt to tell him of some general things that happened as well as who she was. Pr❤ism was running around the floor wagging her tail per usual. The Labrador then went onwards to go sniff some plants. Dank.

 "Narukami huh..." she thought to herself once more.
"Well what is it exactly do you want to know?" she finally spoke, asking him the question loud and clear.

[NeoBuster]

"What exactly happened to them?" Neo replied. Im certain that I didnt have Narukami all this time. I had a different clan. EVeryone is acting strange when they cardfight. "Hazama is another reason why I ask" Neo started to say. He said to me during our cardfight "Lets see if Narukami is still strong". That to me means he knows something. "Sorry if im being a bother by asking, but I need answers and im sure these answers will lead me to my missing parents" Neo said while petting Prism.

[Hope]

So the usual question which she's answered across the many meetings with clans on Cray and other

"Well you see, the missing clans were all taken by a mysterious force on Cray known as "The Rift." Hana began, obvious in her tone that she was just reciting one of her princess speeches for the umpteenth time. "The Rift is a mysterious force that transcends space-time, but has its limitations as it currently stands. Despite this, it is still able to take action as what it is doing now. It has sealed away the four leading clans of Cray. Shadow Paladin, Royal Paladin, Kagero, and Bermuda Triangle which was the clan of Cray's Vanguard, my clan."

That was a quick run-down of what happened without getting to the details. Hana nodded and waited for his response. Pr❤ism ran back to her and she spread her arms. The dog hopped into them and she picked her up.

[NeoBuster]

"So I was right...." Neo started to reply. Kagero... that was the clan I once had.. Now everything makes sense in a way. But I feel like im better off with Narukami then Kagero. I just wish my memory wasnt so foggy. "Thanks for helping me out" Neo said to Hana. But if you will excuse me, I have to go hunt down Hazama to find more answers.

+5 Affinity to Hana (For yesterday and now)

[Hope]

She waved goodbye to him as he walked away.
With Pr❤ism was still in her arms, she thought about where her next destination should be.

"Well good luck with finding The Running Man, DogeKaiser, he'll probably just keep on running once you find him if he knows he can't win against you." She shrugged and walked away as well.

Affinity:
DogeKaiser: +5

[Jello]

Haruka finds himself on an evening stroll.

With more ice cream. Haruka is terrified that one day ice cream will be the downfall of all of his teeth. However it's so delicious sometimes he can't help himself.

He places himself on the bench by the sandbox he was at a couple of nights ago. "Hmm... what did she see?" Haruka made an attempt at trying to discover what it was Hana was trying to look for here. To no avail, all he sees is what he saw last time.

Sand.

With that, Haruka takes a chunk off the corner of his sea-salt ice cream and looks up at the sky, like normal. People tend to find it weird, but he stopped caring after so long. It looks pretty tonight, without any clouds in the sky, the stars show through brilliantly. "I wonder..." Haruka had questions and emotions boiling over in him at the moment, but he was also content at the same time.
