(GS3) Field: Rijuku Park

[Beryl]

Satoshi sat back on the steps, mulling over what that spirit, Seph, had told him before receding into his deck. He wasn't the leader, but a champion of sorts? A guy who needed to be there to help others? Sounded similar to how he and his family handled things back home. They needed him for something, he'd be there.

He stared up at the clouds and the sun setting on another day. He had spent most of his time exploring the town and checking out the scenery, sleeping on a park bench frequently. He had been told once by the authorities that he wasn't allowed to sleep there, but for some reason, after the one occurrence, they hadn't said anything to him since. It was like he was allowed to live at the park.

His suit was still pristine because he found a cleaner in town that let him clean his clothes for free if he was able to do it himself. Smelling fresh again was something he wanted to stay for quite a while, even if he didn't mind getting dirty in the field. After all, that's what someone who lives in the city should do.

He heard familar footsteps and noticed Yukino was out for another stroll. He hadn't seen her all day; he usually saw her once at least somewhere.

"Evenin', Miss Yuki--"

Satoshi noticed another set of footsteps. It was that one guy from the construction site that wasn't yelling about random stuff. <Strange...what's he doin' here?>

[Cherry]

Yukinee?! As if she were Batman, that very name set off the Bat Signal. Big Sister was needed in action, because baby sister is out far too late and-

Oh, it's just a doof.

The excited Hikari sighed heavily, dishearted. "My name is Yukino" the queen corrected, but at least there was no sneering in her tone for this man. Just tiredness and irritation, though, forgivable, she accepted. Turning toward him, ponytail bobbing about, the decision to approach him was made. Probably wanted to talk, her heels clicked as she graced him by humoring him. It wouldn't be that she's a bit lonely or anything, no way, she'd never admit that.

"Oh..." Looking to the side, she saw Satoshi too. A raised eyebrow, sizing him up... that suit still didn't fit her image of who he actually was.

[Beryl]

Satoshi hopped up onto his shoes, tripping on the steps. "Oh sugar---"

BAM! Hit the pavement. Ouch. His body twitched a bit, still deciding how to react to this incredible amount of pain he was feeling on his face.

[Hope]

There was a guy laying on the ground, but Hana was in a trance-like state. She hopped over him and continued looking for her sand castle.

[Jello]

Haruka smiles at her, hoping to make a decent impression. Considering their last two meetings included a beating and being called a "peon", Haruka wasn't convinced the smile would make a whole lot of difference.

"So, Yukino, was it? Oh, of the Espoirs. You must be Hana's sister then. I had always assumed she was just a friend of yours." Haruka kind of peers off scratching his chin.

He notices the klutz off in the sidelines. Who's that?

"Somebody you may want to acquaint with later."

Haruka nods to himself, before returning to the Ice Queen, Yukino.

"I have a question for you." Haruka's eyes flare up again. His face becomes serious. "You're strong right? Tell me. What did you mean by Cray's Chosen Sword." He opens his mouth but stops for a moment, considering his words.

"You owe me no answers. But if you would, answer me this." Haruka gulps a little.

[Cherry]

He's smiling, that was surprising since the memory of kneeing him across the train station was vivid and detailed. It was sort of unsettling to say the least, but it was also a bit refreshing. Quietly nodding to the fact that she was the sister of Isabella, it was easy to see that this man was... well, conversation wasn't his strong suite. Recalling his fumbling at the construction site helped her reach that conclusion. Thankfully for him, Yukino was patient this time.

She took a glance over to Satoshi, expecting him to join in the conversation, and-

Jesus Christ, this guy and the pavement.

"Oi, Satoshi, are you alright?!" Yukino shouted, actually showing genuine concern- Was that Hana?

The queen rubbed her eyes and... yep. She wasn't dreaming, that was most certainly her little sister. It was very easy to notice something was off about the princess, however. Not even responding to the fact that big sis was in sight, was she sleepwalking? Hikari approached the wandering, searching lass, and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Hana?"

[Beryl]

"I'm...okay..."

Satoshi pushed himself up off the ground, dusting himself off, rubbing his face a little. Bit of blood out of his nose, but no real other damage. Growing up on a farm had helped him toughen up, even if the falls were heavy. For sure, he had strong bones and wasn't about to end up in a wheelchair anytime soon.

He noticed Yukino was consulting a younger girl that seemed similar in demeanor to her...her sister, maybe? He walked over. "Hey, is she okay?"

[Hope]

Like always Yukinee's voice would always instantly wake Hana up. She turned around to notice her sister behind her along with Darkyusha and Geodude. She forgot about her sand castle completely and rushed over to her older sister. The other two guys were there too.

"Hihi Yukinee." She leans closer to her sister and whispers into her ear, "Why are you always surrounded by guys o.o ?"

[Cherry]

Yukino's lips curled into a crooked smile of disbelief, "It's not what you think...", came with it.

Inspecting her sister to make sure she was physically unharmed, the queen began petting her. "She's alright, just not home where she should be. What are you doing here, Hana?", responding to Satoshi first and proceeding to question the little lass' movements... Hikari was a bit happy to be surrounded by company.

[Jello]

Haruka realizes his last questions and statements had been totally sidestepped by the appearance of the little sister, Hana, and a man named Satoshi now dusting off gravel from his suit.

Haruka was a somewhat disappointed about the absence of answers. But he decided he'd save them for a more important time perhaps.

"Hana! It's good to see you again." Haruka rushed over to see Hana and the new face, Satoshi.

"How kind of you." Haruka made a face at the comment but let it go quickly.

"Uh, Satoshi, was it? Are you okay, man? That looked like a heavy fall." He outstretched his hand with his signature goofy grin. "I'm Haruka Nakahara, nice to meet ya!"

Haruka turns his attention to Hana. "It's good to see you too. Er-" He places his thoughts on the "always surrounded by guys" comment aside. "How've you been?"

[Spectre Diamond]

"Seems like I finally found you...Chosen Sword." Hikaru jumped off the tree branch that he was sitting. Slowly walking over to the sisters while ignoring the other two simpletons.

[Beryl]

Satoshi went to shake Haruka's hand, but he heard the presence of another nearby from the crack of a tree branch. Someone had been watching them. He turned and saw the figure walking forward. This person looked like they meant business, but he was looking directly at Yukino and...Hana, was that what she called her sister? Cute.

He stepped out to protect them a bit, which for a moment he found a bit strange since, well, what was he to this girls, really? Just some farmboy who happened to have a knack at card games and a gift. But this was an opportunity to see what it was Seph was so interested in.

"And who might you be?"

[Cherry]

"Oh, Haruki...", Yukino admittedly lost her train of thought when Satoshi tripped, and even more so when Hana appeared. Only now did the memory of inquiries concerned with destiny a few minutes ago come back to mind.

"Sorry about that, we'll talk about Cray in a minute-".

Oh, great. Another person shows up in this night at the park... specifically. Maybe she just drew attention, being the queen and all, but the number of people here at this hour was sort of... beyond odd. Hearing him say "Chosen Sword" grabbed her, this acknowledgment of her title was either going to be mockery or some form of respect. The queen kept a hold on her sister's shoulders, keeping her close.

"You are...?"

[Hope]

"Well..." she thought for a moment to recall that her sand castle was still somewhere along the sand boxes in the park. Hana laughed at little to herself as saying that all this for a sandcastle was an embarrassing reason. At that moment, her phone vibrated, it was from DAD-SAN !

"If you are reading this, you and your sister need to get home. Not because of a curfew or anything, no, but because the eggs are getting cold."

Just as she shut her phone and noticed Hikaru speaking to her, she saw that someone had appeared and called upon her sister.

"Uguu this looks bad," Pacifica said.

[Spectre Diamond]

The young man cracked a smile at their questions, a small one but nether less a smile "Me? I have many names, Judge of the Underworld, Inquisitor, Underground King. But you....you may call me Hikaru!
