(GS3) Field: Forest

[NeoBuster]

Neo started to slowly wake up. Not realizing where he was, Neo jumped up.

He noticed the person from Shop Handsome and Hazama standing next to him

Still trying to fully recover, Neo tried to remember everything that just happened. "All i remember was fighting Kurai, then after he beat me, I felt weak and passed out" Neo said to himself.

Then he asked the stranger and Hazama "What are you guys doing here?"

[Helios]

"Hmph, isn't it obvious," he says to the Narukami player. "Well, i'm out, Haruki knows the way back," he says to the two people. "May destruction follow you and despair rip you to shreds," he says on his way out.

[Hope]

The stream had clear water, reflecting off the moonlight. Hana thought that it looked really pretty and that this place in general was very calm. There was a weak gust along the trees. Leaves were crashing against one another, fluttering and flying off with the wind. The water crashed along the rocks, causing splashes along the streams. There were the sounds of wings of birds in flight above, and the crickets sounded along the trees. Nature was all around.

"Yeah, lets sit here Mii-hime." Hana placed her basket on the ground and sat next to Miyuki.
"You seem worried lately, are you alright?" She asked.

[NeoBuster]

After watching Hazama leave, Neo looked at the other person.

"He said your name was Haruki?" Neo said to the person while trying to stand up.

[Helios]

Hazama follows the river back to his house as he knows it will take hi to the city. Then he sees Hana and her friend sitting down next to the river. He walks as far back as he needs to and says, "May destruction follow you and despair bring you down to nothing." He then continues walking back to the city engulfed in the nature of the forest.

[Kuro]

"You want to know who I am?" Haruki was always prepared for this moment, for someone to ask his name. "I am the light of justice, the strongest man in the world. I, am Haruki Yahagi!" He put his fist up triumphantly as he said this, then got out of his pose to greet him normally.

"Well, it's great to see you're okay now. You took quite a fall in the forest you know, could I get your name?" The young man of justice led the other through the forest as he said this.

[NeoBuster]

"My name is Neo Isamu. Nice to meet you" Neo replied.

"I want to thank you for helping me. But its time for me to go, I still have answers I need to find."

The fact that Neo lost, almost died and still havent found answers bothered him greatly. But he didnt know where to go next..

Affinity +1 to Haruki and Hazama

[Kuro]

"Pleasure to have met you Neo. I can tell that your heart is full of justice, and I hope we can be great friends." Haruki just got out of the thick forest with Neo, and had returned to the regular hiking trails.

"You should know the way to your home from here, I'll see you then," the young man of justice said as he waved goodbye to Neo.

Neo AF +1
Hazama AF +1

It was late, so Haruki headed home to get some rest from a long day after returning from his training. In the comfort of his bed, he realized that he forgot one thing.

"I never asked about Limit Break!" Haruki exclaimed in distress.

"That's alright, I'll just ask tomorrow." With an shockingly quick recovery from this depression, Haruki still had a happy smile as he went to sleep, knowing he could count on justice to prevail in the end.

[Crystalia]

She froze slightly at Hana's comment. 'A-ah, well.' She wasn't fully sure what to do. Hana had obviously noted that she had been acting strangely, even though she had tried to pretend otherwise. Well, it made sense that her best friend could tell. Should she tell Hana though?

'Why not', she thought. 'She's worried anyway, acting as if nothing is wrong would help with nothing'.

After a brief pause, she started. 'Well, it's just, things have been feeling slightly off recently. Yesterday it felt as if I was playing Pale Moon for almost the first time, even though I have had it forever. The card 'Starlight Melody Tamer, Farah', whenever I look at it, I feel strange. The same is true for the card that Neo used, 'Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion'. It was different, but it also felt strange to me, when I saw it.'

She took a deep breath, then continued. 'It felt almost weird seeing you play Angel Feather. By themselves, these things didn't mean much, but them all happening on the same day. I-I just don't know, and it feels strange. I'm not really sure what's going on, it feels like there is something wrong with my head.'

Letting it all out felt weird, and she glanced at Hana hoping that she hadn't said too much. 'Sorry for this being stupid' she said. 'It's just been slowly bothering me. Perhaps even before yesterday. I didn't want to ask you though, you seemed like you were busy with something. Or maybe it was just me.'

She leaned back against the tree and relaxed slightly, glad to have spoken those feelings.

[Hope]

She sat next to Mi-hime who leaned back to relax on a tree, she did as well. She turned to her and looked at her. The light of the moon which reflected off the water now showed her smooth complexion. Her hair too, seemingly reflected off the moonlight. She had the charm of an idol, through and through. Mi-hime seemed more relaxed now though, and Hana felt glad.

"Mi-hime, it's not just you. Things actually have happened and as a result, there have been all these strange things in the past two months." Hana reached for the boxes in her basket. There were at the very least five of them.

"You seem to be feeling better, I'm glad... Look! I made these for myself, just for you Mi-hime, I hope you like them..." One of the boxes had a simple Egg, Ham and Cheese sandwich cut into two. The second one had an omelette with rice inside and "Hime-sama" on top written in ketchup. The third box was filled with rice and topped with a sunny-side up egg. The fourth box was filled with hard boiled eggs. The fifth box had a bunch of scrambled eggs, neatly stacked on top of each other like pancakes.

"I don't want to worry you either Mi-hime..."

[Crystalia]

Noticing the food, her stomach growled a little. 'Let's eat', she said, smiling. 'It's getting late anyway, so we might as well start soon. We can keep on talking about this in a bit. Oh and it's fineee Hana, it's not like you did anything wrong right? Sorry if I've worried you.'

In a way, she was both glad and a bit unnerved that her feelings had been right. At least she hadn't been making things up, but for something to have actually happened that affected things that much? That couldn't be good.

With that, she opened one of the boxes that Hana had prepared. Taking half of a sandwhich, she started to eat. The food was great for her hungry body, and she felt completely relaxed. Most of the worries that had been bothering her were put aside for now, as she continued to eat.

'This is really good Hana-chan! Thanks for the food~'

[Hope]

"No problem Mi-hime!"

She picked one for herself as well, the omelette. She took our a fork from the basket and began digging in. The peace remained and nature added to the beauty of the whole experience. Hana was smiling, happy to be with Miyuki. She turned to look at Miyuki eating, Hana thought she looked cute per usual. Some of the food seems to have gotten on Mi-hime's face, so Hana took a handkerchief out from her bag, it had a syringe printed on it, and wiped Mi-hime's face with it.

"Hehe, Mi-hime there's something on her face." She giggled and blushed a little.

[Crystalia]

'A-ah, thanks'. Her cheeks turned slightly red at Hana wiping her face, but she took a deep breath.

Finishing the meal, she stood up and stretched. Noticing that Hana was finished as well, she offered her a hand. 'Should we continue on now, or do you want to stay here or a bit more? I don't really mind either way, the view here is quite nice, but it is getting late.'

She looked around whilst saying this, taking in the beauty of the scenery one more time. Hana leaning against the tree, with the stream and forest as a backdrop seemed almost out of a painting. Whatever happened, she was glad that she could spend time like this with Hana, and was thankful.

[Hope]

Hana took Miyuki's hand and stood up. She continued to hold onto it.

"We should head back, I don't want to worry Yukinee, being out this late!" Hana then led Miyuki towards the direction they went to arrive to this place. "Let's go Mi-hime. Next destination is back over to my house!"

[Beryl]

Wandering in the forest, Satoshi was lost in a bit of a haze over his mind. Last night...Haruka and Yukino had been intimate, right? They shared an intimate moment...maybe even several, while he was asleep. It didn't bother him before, but...

His head pulsated again. No, it still didn't bother him, but his mind always wandered back as though it was missing something, and every time it did, he felt as though the world shook underneath him. These unusual headaches had made him wander off from the Residential Area to try and connect with nature. He needed to not think so negatively.

Yet...he was behind them, again. His best friends both had Limit Break. They had insurmountable power, and what did he have? Nothing. He was held back, because it "made sense." His head pulsated again, making him lie against a tree.

Seph frowned, worried for him. It wasn't clear if Satoshi was ready for such power. If only there were a way to test...
