(GS3) Field: Rijuku Park

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren listened to the song until it ended. It was a sweet song that calmed his mind slightly. When she corrected him, he gave a nervous laugh and said, "Sorry about that. Guess I didn't here it all the way. Anyway, I'm doing alright. Just came from the Cardfight Club at school." He actually hadn't noticed her all day. Being the same age they likely had a class or two together, but he never paid attention to his surroundings enough to know for certain.

"Anyway, what are you doing out here? Just practicing or something?" He found it odd that she was alone even if she did hate bigger crowds. He was curious if she had a reason for it.

[RosaliaIzanami]

"A-ah.. yeah.. Just practicing I guess.. I arrived a bit late to the Cardfight Club, so I kinda left right away, figuring it was about over... I was gonna find my uh.. housemate, but he's busy, so I'm kinda by myself right now." Rosalia glanced over her school bag and violin case, a small smile on her lips. "I had my audition today for the Orchestra Club, which is why I have my violin. I might be carrying it around more often now though; I got into the club after all. But I don't think it would be smart to bring it with me on the camping trip in two days..." The redhead looked over to Darren, moving her stuff so there was room on the bench in case he wanted to sit down. But whether he did or not, she tilted her head at him curiously, wondering what he was doing here too. "So, what're you doing out here? Only polite if you answer the questions you ask."

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

She had a long explanation that made Darren drift off at moments, but he did hear and get everything that she said. He crossed his arms lightly as he listened and nodded his head at point. When she asked him the same question he smiled lightly and moved his hand to the back of his head. Rubbing it a bit, he honestly said, "Well, I don't really know a lot of places around here, so I went somewhere familiar. If I tried to explore alone, I'd probably get horribly lost. Its happened before."

Thinking about all she said, Camping Trip came to mind. "A camping trip is happening? What do you mean by that?" He had actually left so quickly that he missed the flyer so he hadn't known anything about it by the time he arrived here. "Is that some kind of Orchestra thing? Sounds weird for a band to go to the great outdoors."

Haruka closed up shop earlier back at StarGATEBucks. He didn't want to miss anymore time with Yukino if he could avoid it. The second he ran out of the shop, still in uniform, he sent a text to Yukino in a near sprint.

"omw to the park. usual bench~ -haru"

Haruka was there a lot faster than he had intended to arrive, now sitting at his favorite bench, holding two cups of coffee. One for him, the other for Yukino. Truth be told, Haruka had absolutely no idea what she liked in her coffee since they rarely drank it together.

Oh right... she doesn't really like it.

Haruka felt a bit down for a moment, setting the one pure black cup of coffee down on side table by the bench, whilst Haruka took some sips of his, silently awaiting Yukinoms. He stared at the sky for good measure, keep the anxiety levels down.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia only tilted her head, confused. How could he have missed it if he was just at the club not ten minutes ago?... "It's the whole school pretty much. Didn't you see the flier? It was on the door of the club room." The female put her violin in her case before searching her school bag, pulling out her phone and flipping to her pictures. She had taken a picture of the flier, showing it to Darren while reading it out loud. "School Camping Trip in Two Days. Bring sleeping bags, snacks, and necessary medication so you don't die. Make sure to sign in at the school main office to attend with the Cardfight Club. We will be working on teamwork as well as an application of Vanguard on real life situations! Literally. Thank You, President ISA Hope. So you're coming with, baka... Just be sure to sign up tomorrow at the office and you'll be good to go." She put her phone away after that, but checked it again to make sure the sound was on, and that she didn't get a message recently. She frowned when there weren't any missed calls or texts, sighing to herself.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren blinked as he was surprised he hadn't heard of it before. He gave a small laugh and said, "Heh... guess you saved me from missing out on that, Rosey." It seemed for him this was easier than saying Rosalia outright because there was a chance he could mispronounce it again. "I'll be sure to be there, and if you are too then it'll be good to have a friend around. You and Noel are the only two I really know so far... At least the ones I've talked to more than once."

He blinked as a thought came to mind. "Speaking of Vanguard, you have a deck too, right? You said Pale Moon. Is it with you now?"

[RosaliaIzanami]

"Hm?.. O-oh! Ye-eah, I have it.." Rosalia looked again through her bag, hoping she didn't somehow lose it during the day... She finally found the bright purple box, marked with a silver moon that she added, sighing in relief that her cards were there. "Yup, right here... Did you wanna fight or something?" she asked, though the answer should have been obvious given the situation.

[Cece Lockhart]

Noel now leaving the cardshop and the shopping district overall, she took the park route to her hotel in hopes of being able to sit and relax and possibly make some small edits to her current deck. She knows that she can't be happy without her Jewel Knights no matter what, win or lose. Even though Ashlei is there, she feels like Ashlei is carrying the deck and can somehow feel her exhaustion yet doesn't give up. Noel doesn't want to give up either since her happiness was in the line. The moments during her fight with Sky, she was able to see images of how her previous deck would react to that same match. Julia's Limit Break compared to Planetal Dragon would of been much more powerful that not even a perfect guard would be enough to stop her attacks.

She began making edits on a picnic table near the lake until she found something that she could at least feel comfortable for the time being.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren grinned lightly at the fact that she caught on fast. He held up his own deck box and said, "That's right. I wanna see what your Pale Moons can do. Let's have a fight right here!" He turned slightly, seeing the fight table that he had used when he fought Noel, or maybe there was more than one in this park. That would make more sense. He walked over to it as he took out his deck. "Hope you're ready," he said as a declaration of battle.

Yugure was getting a headache, trying to figure out what to say to Haruka. In addition to that, the matter with Satoshi still couldn't be solved. Slowly, but surely, she was running out of time to fix enough for them to be ready. ... An annoyed growl, the soldier decided to stop thinking for a bit. Erasing her scowl, reunion with boyfriend took priority. Hopefully he could deal with her being awkward.

Ignoring the bustling activity of the park, his favorite bench was in sights with him on it.

"Haruka..." The woman called out, not sure how to start. Maybe with asking about the second cup of coffee? Then again, she knew he was a caffeine addict, so it was normal.

[Jello]

He saw her out of the corner of his peripherals. There she stood under the stars tonight. Haruka's soldier of a woman... but still the girl he fell in love with.

"Yukino!" Haruka dropped his cup of coffee running to her. It could be easily described as that moment in a sappy love movie where the guy runs after the girl when she's leaving for the plane, except she wasn't leaving for a plane. Which is why some people just saw a guy mad-dash to some girl in the park. Everyone probably thought he was insane.

He wrapped his arms around, instantly placing his head on shoulder and...

The tears flew. He wasn't too quiet about it either. Loud sobs at an evening in the park. Yep, Haruka was attracting attention again. But it was hard to contain his emotions after the roller coaster of stuff he'd been on for so long. He had so much to tell Yukino and so much he wanted to know still. There was no way he was going to let her go right now, not even Overlord could pry him off. Unless she asked him to get off, then he would.

Reluctantly.

"H-H-Hey.. Yuki-noo...!" He was somewhat hiccuping in between his words. What a depressing lad. Haruka really was just in a poor emotional state recently. This was fixing a lot, just being near by her.

[ShadowCM]

Khudus had left the store. He had a good amount of his deck built. Was missing few cards. He heard there was another store nearby so he would visit that tomorrow see what is there. While at the park he noticed Noel looking over her deck. He decided to see how she was doing and maybe get a rough gauge of her strength. He walked over and  sat opposite her at her picnic table.

So how is it going?

[Cece Lockhart]

Alright... this feels better than before... I'm glad... Noel smiled to herself, now she can feel at ease and maybe enjoy cardfighting a little more now that she was able to work out the loose ends of her deck and incorporating the new Jewel Knights into her deck. She feels a little more complete than before.

Suddenly someone sat across from her, it was Khudus. "Huh? Oh hey, it's going good so far. I just finished making edits on my deck. I lost a fight earlier today and it was because my deck couldn't go beyond a certain point. I am hoping with these new edits, I can slowly go back to how my deck was like when I arrived in this city..." Noel then puts the newly rebuilt deck into her deck box. She then took her phone and decided to do something she hasn't done at all when she could of done the moment she was able to. Text her brother.

"Hey hey Seifer-kun, we haven't spoken at all since our cardfight... I don't want you to think I hate you or anything because of that. It wouldn't make sense for me to wait all this time for me to do so. You could also message me you know, we are siblings, not strangers. Also sorry for not responding to your invitation a few days ago, I wasn't feeling so well... I kinda still don't honestly... I've been having these weird dreams..."

[ShadowCM]

Khudus smiled. He couldn't get a full grasp of her power as she quickly put her deck away. But her attitude and mood showed she had grown a lot since he last saw her.

Oh feeling that good. Reckon you can finally break your streak against me? as he finished he started using a fiercer tone. Whenever he got into a mood for a fight he would show a little animal like fierceness. He never fully notices it but even though he didn't have his deck he was feeling up for a fight.

[RosaliaIzanami]

"Ready when you are! Stand up, my vanguard! Silver Thorn Beast Tamer, Emile~" Just saying her new starter's name... It felt so right.

The fight itself was close throughout the match. Triggers on both sides, power ups for days. But with a set up perfect for her final Circus Bounce, Rosalia's overwhelming skill power from her Avatar and two rear-guard Upright Lions was enough to push through, eliminating Darren's hand. With a critical trigger as the final check, the heal that could have saved him never showed. The female breathed a deep sigh of relief, looking over her cards before gathering them up and returning them to their respective place in the box. "Th-that was really exciting~ I-i was really nervous halfway through, but it looks like my Avatar showed up just in time. I.. I really hope you liked the circus.." she spoke up, feeling a warmth returning to her face. It was true that despite being shy, and not good with crowds, the redhead could essentially be made for the spotlight. She played the violin, and even her deck was based around the stars of the show.
