Title: (GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District
Post by: Hope on August 08, 2015, 05:40:45 AM

This is how it used to look like.

Field Status
It got destroyed.
Rubble everywhere.
Scene from the apocalypse. Sad.

What is a field?
A field is an area where events between characters or even individual characters may happen. As replies to these posts, characters may chronicle events that transpire between each other which would often be as a result of or due to a Cardfight. Field events are great ways to develop characters as well as character relationships. Field events, for example, could include a Cardfight as part of a rivalry between two individuals. It can be something as simple as a simple outing or meeting that then leads to a game of Vanguard. Or something that would greatly move the plot, a fight between someone of the heroic affinity and someone of the villainous affinity.

Remember, Cray is looking for the best of the best to be a leader. This does not mean that the leader has to be filled with good intentions, its anyone who the cards seem to decide is fit. Heroes can do as much as they can, but without villains pushing the story forward with their schemes, there isn't much to save. So if you are on the villainous side, use these areas to move along with your plots and schemes. You may ask others to come and roleplay with you and anyone can post in these areas, there is no limit other than that of being logical and simply just being respectful to your fellow fighters.

Any character that you interact with during field events may get affinity +1 or -1 with you.
Certain fields may have special events and things happening there in order to start up some action.

Post events that transpire below based on you character's own perspective, and just have fun with it!
Good luck!

I was terrible at Card Capital today. So much losing! Auauu~! >.< My Spike Brothers were getting stale, so I wanted to try something new and different when I returned the next day. Got some sweet cards in the shop and built a new deck. Looking for someone available to fight I noticed a guy walking out of CC and rushed after him. This looked like a tough and extreme cardfighter.
  I caught up to him in the shopping district, but when I was about to call out to him, he turned to me with a bummed expression too. Turns out we had something in common after hitting it off with stories about our not-so-great cardfights that day. I thought this could be the perfect guy to test my deck against for its first game, and challenged him right away. We set up on a bench in the area and started our battle.
  We said "Stand up, Vanguard!" and flipped over Godhawk, Ichibyoshi on my side and Amber Dragon, Daylight on his. Immediately I was worried as I had no grade 2 in my hand, but hoped to pull one later in the match. As luck would have it, I did superior ride my Half-Moon Tsuki later on in the game, and that luck continued to stay on my side throughout the game.
  With each passing turn, my opponent would grumble and mumble, and it sounded pretty weird. I decided to keep having fun with the match anyway. In the final stages of the game, I was aiming for the 2 triggers that were collected in my stack. My opponent now thought victory was in the bag, since I wasn't hitting triggers left and right anymore. He guarded for 2 to pass on my vanguard and I destroyed him with the double trigger. An epic victory for the deck's first fight.
  I reached out to shake his hand as thanks for the epic game, but was omega shocked when he slammed his hands down in a crazy rage! The guy grabbed his cards in a rush saying stuff about how he wasn't good enough. He ran off before I could ask him anything else.
  What did I do? Was I too extreme in our fight? He looked really mad! Auauu~! >.<

I don't know where he was going or even his name, but if I wanted to meet him again and make amends, this spot was my only clue. I sat on that bench that dayyyy and watched the sun go down...

Almost a perfect win streak Day 1 in Card Capital. Acceptable by even the egotistical Yukino's standards. She wasn't perfect... yet. She left the store, still leaving other fighters in awe of her form from how she carried herself. Some thought she was crazy, still, but...

"We're glad you had a good time", Blaster Blade spoke.

"You all are beginning to rally and duel alongside one another in a superior fashion as well. Masterfully utilizing Palamedes' boost by call one to the backrow, for Gordon to eventually trade places with him without passing on an Especial Intercept..." Alfred added on, praising his subjects, and his vanguard. He was impressed with how their attack waves grew with more ferocity, how their Turn 2s were masterfully crafted in terms of offense. Still something to work on defensively, but the King was proud of his army nonetheless. They argue and fight one another, but they'll follow Hikari's lead, and Hikari will actually listen to their pleas.

"You're one to talk, Alfred! Where the hell were you?!" Yukino shouted, Marron, and Akane agreeing with her for once.

"... I had to attend some meetings."

"My ass!"

"You held your own without me, just be happy with that", he was trying to pass it off. He knows he should've been there, but this is a lesson for them at least. Unfortunately for him, nobody bought it. In fact, only Blaster Blade was on his side. Yukino let out a frustrated sigh, taking a seat on a bench, and beginning to toy with her cell phone some instead of looking over her deck anymore.

Satoshi whistled. It had been a long time since he had been to the city on his own. His parents had gone with him into town most of the time, and he always marveled at the lights and cars and people busily walking about.

He had come to town this time to take part in the opening of the new Card Capital, but playing against Yukino had taken a lot out of him. It was such a close game, a fun game. That's all he wanted out of today, an exciting game. Even if it was just the one.

Now he was off for a bit of a walk in the open air. Card Capital was a bit too crowded, unfortunately, so he felt being outside would do him some good before he maybe went back in to play against someone else. Thankfully it was such a nice day out, and he stared up at the clouds as he walked...

...without noticing a chunk of sidewalk sticking up out of the ground, which he proceeded to trip over and fall right in front of the bench Yukino was sitting on.

"Dagnabbit..."

Jellal appears before Yukino before she pulled out her cellphone.

"Was she just...?" He's heard of this phenomena, being able to talk to your cards, but he's never seen people actually do it, especially with the expressions she displayed. He often wondered how it was even possible to be able to do something like that. He pulled out his pale Shadow Paladin deck, Blaster Dark in the front. He gazed into his eyes, slowly spreading the deck to reveal other units such as Phantom Blaster Dragon, Blaster Javelin, and more. "Hm" he said, before blinking twice and closing his deck and approaching Yukino with a leisurely "You."

Yuki first noticed Satoshi fall facefirst into the pavement and Gordon let out an audible "Ooo..." to describe how the pain of that made him cringe. The woman got on her feet, then crouched down and tried to help him up. "You alright?" she questioned, then again, hitting solid concrete hurts more than she can imagine, probably. It took her a good couple of moments of checking on the hick man before hearing this blonde new comer address her.

"Yes, me?"

Ughhh what a crappy day, you pathetic triggers showing up at all the wrong times. If you weren't powerful machines I'd skin you alive with a pair of nail clippers!


Ring Girl Clara what's wrong with you.... Why do I draw 3 of you so many times... You made me lose to dirt...


But tomorrow will be a new day, and with a new day a new opportunity shall rise
Itou I'm coming for you

Write your will and your world you know  will slowly disappear
Soon my friend, your true happiness will be found

Jellal steps forward but stops to look at the fallen Satoshi, seeing him in pain. Jellal stared for a second but then cut his eyes and looked back at the white haired girl. He eyes lit a faint blue as he pointed at her deck.

"How or why do you bother speaking to your cards?" his expression was curious and concerning.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cherry on August 08, 2015, 08:52:58 PM
"Because I'm the chosen one, of course", she answered with a straight face full of arrogance. The sheer absurdity of her confidence in this answer as to why she talks to her cards like a nutjob was mindblowing. It addressed "how" and in a way "why", as only some magical heritage or blessings... or curse could be how someone communicates with Cray's residents. "Why" is answer by her just being destiny's child.

Post by: Beryl on August 08, 2015, 08:55:53 PM
Satoshi heard the footsteps of a newcomer as he laid face-first on the concrete. He also felt delicate hands nudge him, seeing if he was okay. The touch he recognized from his handshake at Card Capital. Yukino, for sure. But the footsteps didn't come from her...

"Ah'm okay, jus' a bit of a tumble..." He got up on his knees, brushing himself off a little before briefly looking to Yukino with a grateful expression, and then to the blonde gentleman, standing tall, who had just questioned about talking to cards.

"Oh, ah do that m'self. S'cause the cards're my friends, y'know?"

Jellal stood in brief silence staring at both of them, soaking in their answers.

"The chosen one... and friends huh..." He he thought to himself while looking down at his feet, slowly lifted his head looking to the side. "You both..." he started before he turned and faced them as the wind ruffled through his hair. "Sound ridiculous." he said as he opened his eyes with a soft glare to both of them. Never in his life has he ever heard anyone consider the cards to be their friends or treat them as actual human beings.

Post by: Cherry on August 08, 2015, 09:47:30 PM
Rising up and standing erect, the smug royalty shakes her head, ponytail bobbing back and forth. After confirming Satoshi's well-being, she chuckled. It was only natural the idea of someone talking to their cards sounded like a bunch of baloney, however...

"I didn't know Satoshi was another one chosen by Cray, but I suppose those other clans need a boost too", the queen spoke. While it was surprising that it was confirmed he too could communicate with Cray, Yukino just shrugged it off as a less important destiny than hers. In fact, she basically just called everything inferior to Royal Paladins, because Royal Paladins had her. Smirking with an aura of condescension, the snow woman answered the blonde's disbelief.

"Of course it sounds ridiculous. To ordinary beings who weren't granted a purpose from Cray, anyway."

While her royal allies wished she was less haughty, they couldn't deny that she was chosen for them. Honestly, Gordon and Akane, amongst other units questioned if it was the right choice. Though, since the golden days of Alfred's initial crowning, Blaster Blade has never steered Royal Paladin in the wrong direction.

Hikari could not only hear but sense their distrust in her. It didn't matter, however, as she wasn't about to let it get to her.

"Nah, mah Nectars needed a gardener, if anythin'."

Satoshi put his hands on his hips, looking over the blonde gentleman. "It might sound crazy, but me 'n' her ain't lyin' to ya. That's just how things're between us 'n' our cards."

He couldn't really explain what he actually knew of the Nectars or their role in the plight of Cray, though he noted that since Yukino had addressed herself as one "chosen by Cray," he would talk to her about it eventually. This guy, on the other hand...

"What's yer name, bud? Don't think ah saw you at the shop at all..."

"I think you both have me confused." he retorted while closing his eyes. He sharply opened his pale blue eyes, fixing his gaze on Satoshi.

"You said that you're friends with the cards? That is what I find ridiculous." He looked down over his shoulder, having a melancholy expression. "They're nothing more than just cards." Jellal said in a low tone.

"Even if you could 'talk' to your cards, it's not needed, because at the end of the day..." his voice trailed off as he turned back to both Yukino and Satoshi. "The person who's fighting will always be you, no one else." he stated in a cold tone while reaching into his back pocket grabbing his deck.

"I'm not the type of fighter to sport a solitary mentality, or the type of woman in general", she spoke for herself. This actually granted the Royals a bit of a peace of mind. She was an arrogant snob, but Hikari very much accepted that she wouldn't be here without them. In the midst of the conversation, some peon thought he was involved in it when Satoshi asked for a name.

That was cute.

"He's not talking about you, he's speaking to the one who addressed us. The blonde one whose name I'd like to know as well."

After waiting the rest of the day on that bench, eating lunch and playing a few games on his mobile, the guy Haruki fought never showed up. The sun was nearly down so he thought now was a good time as ever to head home for the night. He strolled past a group of people he recognized from Card Capital that looked like they were having an interesting talk while on his way to the train station. With a tune in his head and a song in his heart, this boy knew that he'd find that mysterious guy eventually.

Jellal took out his deck, and looked at it. He concentrated every ounce of his being into the card he knighted as his avatar: Blaster Dark. He looked up at the snow-haired woman who inquired his name. Never before has anyone ever inquired on his name. Normally, the blonde haired boy would tell and be done with it. However, not this time, something sparked him: he wasn't sure what it was but he knew he had to figure it out.

"You said you was chosen one right?" he asked while raising his eyebrow. "If the cards are your friends, then show me what they can do. If you win, I'll tell you my name. Deal?"

Hana exited the Card Capital, looking for her sister Yukinee as it was getting quite late. She saw her in the distance along with a few other unfamiliar faces, they were fighters it seems, but she couldn't quite put a finger on what kind of relationship they had with her sister, positive or negative.

"Your sister probably set them off!!! Uguu~" Pacifica pointed out.
"You be quiet Pacifibaka!" Hana attempted to silence her.

Nonetheless, she had found her sister whom she has been looking for since they had finished their fight today at the Card Capital tournament. The reason she was looking for her sister? She had cooked omelettes for dinner. They were getting cold and she needed her sister home before it got too dark outside, or before the eggs got cold. Nothing is worse than cold eggs. She watched in the distance as her sister seemingly prepared to cardfight one of the stranger dangers.

Hikari noticed very quickly the intensely of this man's "glance" toward his deck, probably a specific card. Something about it honestly brushed Blaster Blade the wrong way, and he attempted to warn his Vanguard of this premonition. Of course, she wasn't going to listen. There was a curious, dark, and lonely air about this fighter. Though, there was also strength behind it, which was the main factor that interested her.

That, and he won her over by acknowledging that she was the chosen one.

You know, people one day are going to have to stop making the mistake of giving her excuses to flex her ego.

"Deal. You must be someone special if I have to fight for your name. So this'll be worth the effort", she accepted, a giddy excitement showering over her. She armed herself with her deck, putting the cell phone away, and motioning the challenger to come back into Card Capital to use one of their tables.

Satoshi followed, since he too was a bit interested in what this whole "chosen one" thing was about. Couldn't everyone talk to their cards? After all, some girl off in the distance had been mumbling to some entity called "Pacifibaka." Maybe Pacifibaka was her ace. That sounded pretty cool in his head.

Ighanna stared blankly outside her car, her driver heading towards a large concert hall. The sight of  a girl being followed by a guy caught her attention and so she quickly yelled at her driver to stop the car immediately. Without consensus from her manager, she quickly jumped out of the car, hoping to catch the stalker however sunglasses weren't enough of a disguise and soon waves of people towered over her. Fortunately most of them were her fans.

"Please help me catch that filthy stalker desu desu" she pleaded to the crowd, not realizing Satoshi was just a mere follower.

As soon as the crowd headed of like the Women's March on Versailles, she hopped back onto the car and drifted as fast as the wind to keep the girls in company. She rolled down the back windows but the girls have already entered the cardshop. With an extremely worried mind she quickly opened the door, not realizing that this was the very same card game she played long time ago.

After telling Yukino his award name, Jellal collected all of his cards into their original stack, all except one, in his hand: Blaster Dark. He stared at it then stared back at Yukino's Blaster Blade. For the first time, he felt a sudden surge from these cards, yet were in her hands. He looked back to held Blaster Dark and felt nothing but a hollow emptiness. He placed Blaster Dark back into his original position as the cover of the deck and approached Yukino.

"Even though you've beaten me, it still doesn't change that being able to talk to the cards, or even the thought of it is a ridiculous notion." he said in a defensive tone. "Things like that will only get in the way of the actual fighting." He walked away from the group slowly while sliding his deck in his back pocket.

"Comrades and friends... eventually, they'll drag you down. And when they do, it's best to cast them off before it's too late."

Overall he enjoyed the cardfight despite missing his ride chain and kept drawing his triggers due to his reckless greedy of Skull Witch Nemain, however he held his own for the most part.

fitting music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ6SoF79xQU)

Jellal Kisaragi.

Upon the sixth damage check, as promised, Hikari learned his name. Unfortunately, she had never heard of it before. But at the same time, that only made her all the more curious as to what type of man he is, and why he couldn't give his name without a hassle. Even more so, the blatant contrast of the two fighters was beyond margin. The power of friendship against the power of sacrifice. If the child of light was being honest, the minute she saw "Phantom Blaster Dragon", it sent chills down her spine. She wasn't even remotely ready to witness it slaughter its own comrades... no, pawns for a massive power gain.

And then there was the sword of blackness that didn't arrive on the battlefield to fight. "Blaster Dark", a soldier who looked exactly like Blaster Blade, only in darker armor, wielding a much larger sword.

Yukino spaced out, lost in the thought of these Shadow Paladins... Alfred told her that Phantom Blaster is the Dragon of Hell that blights of the Sanctuary... And Shadow Paladins are wanted criminals, traitors and terrorists in the Holy Nation.

Why does this guy even have a clan like that?

"Call me-"

Before she could speak, Blaster Blade forced her to speak her chosen name: "Hikari". Yukino wanted to choke her Avatar, but for some odd reason, didn't really feel compelled to say anything else. Maybe it was better that she was known as "Light" toward the wielder of the black knights. Was it a threat? Or was it some form of warmth. Perhaps a challenge of fate toward them. The woman's head was heavy, beginning to feel exhausted from this encounter alone, not even paying much mind to the other events around her, let alone her own sister with omelets.

He left before she could really respond to him still rejecting the thought of communication with Cray.

That game was something else, but Yuki could tell very easily that Jellal was handicapped by a lack of checking triggers. He stated that Phantom Blaster was not at "100%" at the time, indicating that he was further hindered...

She only wishes she could ask where he got those cards and why he doesn't believe in his comrades... And that she could see him when he isn't disrupted by his deck not cooperating.

     Having just left the train station after having just fought Cero--Screamo--kun, Hana ran into her best friend Miyuki, whom she invited to tag along to go shopping for cards! Since cards were on sale, they thought! They ended up sitting down for a Cardfight or as the now see it, another "rehearsal."

Each practice puts an idol closer to being able to capture everyone's hearts.

    They both had tons of fun! A natural disaster was forecasted on the news, leading Hana to ask Miyuki to ASSIST her in searching for Pacifica. They then went to the ice cream parlour where Miyuki got a multi-colored ice cream combo, green and yellow, it was the daily special, called the Shuplu-Flow! Hana on the other hand ordered a simple VANILLA ICE CREAM.

Miyuki and Hana head together to the Card Capital Tournament!

Seeing the same girl that was stalked yesterday, Ighanna approaches to get a closer look at her and her friend, realizing they were actually idols, meanwhile I'm a pop star. My friend in the industry, a Victoria Secret Angel once talked about them and how they were very "kawaii" and stuff. At least now that we know that we both have mutual friends, we quickly became friends and they invited me to the cardshop, since it was a free day for me I was inclined to agree.

Leaving the Train Station and approaching Card Capital, the snow queen was in a daze. Hikari let the memories of Shadow Paladin soak in, along with meeting a man whose eyes change color during a fight, another user of Soul Saver and Royals, and yet another person who can communicate with Cray. Not a lot happened yesterday from a normal person's viewpoint, yet, the woman was still perplexed nonetheless. In the midst of this disorientation, she looked up at Card Capital. The "event" for collecting stamps barely crossed her mind now. Yukino found herself more interested in learning about the people around here, figuring out what makes them unique like herself.

Then again, going in and participating in said event would help her meet more people.

But she just didn't feel the contest was important anymore.

Cero was walking in the direction Hana had directed him, eventually arriving outside Card Capital.  When he got there, he saw a woman standing outside the card shop.  She didn't seem to be doing anything beyond standing there, so he shouted at her, "You there!  You're a Vanguard Fighter, aren't you?  Why aren't you entering the card shop?"

Hikari stopped being lost for a moment, sporting her proud persona to respond.

"Heh, I'm more than a Vanguard Fighter...  I'm not entering for reasons you can't comprehend. So no need to worry yourself over me", her logic didn't even make sense. Yuki thought she would stop being confused, but then she just went on to blurt out something. The snow woman... wasn't feeling too well, and looked back up at the Card Capital sign, a perplexed expression back on her face.

"If you're more than a Vanguard Fighter, then as Europe's King of Vanguard, I, Cero Kirguis, challenge you to a fight!  I will not allow anyone to look down on me, especially someone who lacks the resolve to do something as simple as enter a cardshop!!"  Cero continued shouting as he pulled out his deck, preparing to put this person in her place for acting like she was better than him, completely unaware of her abilities.

What.

"Europe's King of Vanguard?" she questioned. The woman sure as hell didn't know about any "king" players of this game, let alone Europe doing something notable for her to even remember. This blonde foreigner just comes out of nowhere, declares his royal status, and then challenges her? Well, she did sort of bring it on herself with her previous remark. But then he went on to say she doesn't have the resolve to just walk in.

Who did he think he was?!

"Is this a joke?" Yukino responded, no longer lost once again, but now she was set off. "I am the chosen sword, yet, I've never heard of some 'King' named Kirguis. Are you sure you're not trying to make yourself feel better with mimicking a fairy tale?"

Her ego came back, but that insult sure settled that they were probably going to go at each other's throats instead of playing cards. Despite having full knowledge of that, a sneering smirk was plastered all over her pretty face.

"Oh man, this sure was another tough day" Said Makuto as he sighed.He packed his deck into his deckbox and put it in his pocket.While spending most of his time inside the cardshop, he also noticed that Yukino didn't appear at all.
"You did good today too Akuma" Makuto whispered as he opened the door to leave the cardshop.But fate brought him a big surprise, Yukino and someone else were standing infront of the door looking like they were in a fight of sort.Makuto stood there awkwardly trying to not bother any of them but was interested in what was about to happen.

"A joke!?  You dare refer to my title as a joke!?"  This woman's arrogance was astounding, beyond any other person he had encountered, barring himself.  "The title of King is far from a joke, and I earned it through work and dedication, don't you dare laugh at it!!"  He was now shouting as loud as he could, forgetting about his challenge in his fit of anger.  He refused to allow someone like her to trample over him and his pride in such a manner, even if it meant creating a scene.
  "My title is what brought me to this country, giving a chance to fight the world's strongest fighters!  And what's this about being the 'chosen sword!?'  That sounds like far more of a 'fairy tale' fabricated by yourself so you have an excuse to look down on others!  Such a title has nothing behind it, nothing but empty words!"

Haruki was overjoyed at how great he played at Card Capital. After having done so much better than the deck before, he knew that his deck would be something to hold onto for a while. He clicked his heels with glee and rushed out of the shop with a pep in his step. At least, he would have, if he hadn't made a big crash into this guy right outside CC.

"Auauu~!" cried Haruki as he rubbed his head in pain.

Every Royal Paladin in her deck had the same thought: so much for the cardfight.

"Yelling louder about it doesn't make it mean anything, you know!" Yukino retorted. The woman doesn't even know why she's arguing with him, she just finds his title and lack of popularity in Japan silly. ... As far as she knew, anyway. Only laughter came out with his reasoning of "work and dedication". Hikari believed that she could get the title with little effort, mocking the entire European playerbase by belittling him!

Oh no, then he bit back, making fun of her title.

"Excuse me?!" The woman began, "I am the one chosen by Cray to lead mongrels like you and most likely your deck to victory and prosperity! And I've about had it with you fools thinking I'm bluffing when I can communicate with these Royal Paladins!" she was screaming just as loud as he was yelling.

As if responding to her desire to prove she wasn't lying, her pupils morphed into swords just as they always do occasionally. Yukino practically yanked her deck out and held it toward him, Blaster Blade being the front card.

"You challenged me, right?! Okay, I accept! We're going to settle this!". Literally fuming, she stomped her way into Card Capital to get them a table, pushing Makuto out of the way as her only form of acknowledgment that he was even there. She didn't even take note of him or the kid that just ran into Makuto...

"I'm no mongrel, and some arrogant nutcase like you could never lead someone like me!  And since when could people communicate with cards!?"  He continued shouting, forgetting he had met someone else who could do the exact same thing earlier that day. 

When he noticed her pupils changed shape, he was rather shocked, then cast it off as just him imagining things.  "Fine then!"  He shouted back, as he followed her into the card shop.

"Agh.Are you okay lil' bud, watch where you're going you might hurt someone next time.Now be quiet cause there's a battle going on."
Makuto said as the kid crashed into him. Makuto felt strange as he was watching Yukino yell at the other person. And that feeling got bigger as he saw her eyes turn into swords. As Yukino showed her deck Makuto realised they were gonna Cardfight. As Yukino was heading towards the door, Makuto tried to step away to not get in her way but he wasn't fast enough.
"Hey don't go pushing people around that actually hurt..."
Not losing any time he headed inside the cardshop again to specate this cardfight.

Haruki was still dazed as he noticed everyone charging back into the cardshop. 'Now why would they do that,' he thought to himself. Still, with such a big headache he figured that he shouldn't be rushing out to places in the condition he was in. Haruki walked into the shop, and to his surprise found the guy he crashed into looking at two people in an intense cardfight. Maybe it was worth watching while cooling off from that blow.

"Greetings Hayato, I don't know the whole story about this situation but i think this is a big deal."
Said Makuto to Hayato.

"Lets change, i want to see this in first person"
Whispered Akuma to Makuto. "Fine but don't get me into trouble again." whispered Makuto, then he pulled back his hair, took off his glasses and his eyes changed red.

"Hah, this sure is a fight worth watching, a human fighting one of the chosen ones, who probably doesn't know who he is messing with."
Said Akuma loudly.

As he gathers his deck calmly and puts it back into his deck case after his intense fight against Itou's Paladins, he hears 2 people shouting and plugs in his earphones as he dislikes too much of violence. Daichi quietly places himself in a corner and watches a young man and a woman scream at each other, all though he doesn't hear anything of it.

This was so ridiculous, not even the Royal Paladin clan could believe it. Two users of the same clan that couldn't get along for anything fought so hard and ferociously that they nearly whacked each other. Taking swings at the opponent with their fists, they wound up knocking cards off of the table and scattering them all over the table. Blaming one another, they just did a second game.

Throughout both games, they found themselves at disadvantages against one another, but Hikari really couldn't deny that this man has... some respectable skill. She would tack that "some" on if she said it out loud, making sure to not let his ego get anywhere close to the size of her own.

The snow woman did give to him what she gave to Makuto, however: "If it was anyone else, you would have won easily". That was her way of staying superior while still acknowledging that her opponent was strong. In fact, she even credited him by saying Cero would have won 0-6 in damage. Okay, so, fine, maybe the "European King of Vanguard" was something after all. She muttered a quiet "Sorry for doubting you" under her breath.

At least Yukino felt a bit better having fought with someone strong. Blaster Blade was happy for her, and glad they got to meet with Garmore's human Vanguard too. Her lips curled into a small, but notable smile.

"HAH." Akuma screamed.

"This is a fight i've been waiting for my entire life, fists yelling and cardfight! I didn't expect this human to stand up after the first game, i guess he isn't called 'The European King of Vanguard' for nothing.I need to learn from these two myself, after all i am not used to this places."

Cero and Hikari had absurd amounts of difficulty getting along, to the point where their cardfight combined with their incessant arguing led to them actually trying to hit each other, scattering their decks.  Neither accepted blame for the incident, both trying to put it on the other, until they started a second game.

The first game was decently close, but both were hellish for both sides.  Their decks refused to co-operate when it really mattered, and chose to co-operate at times when it was just not a good time.  During the second game, Cero's ace unit trolled him by appearing in his damage, then a drive check, then drawing another copy when it was the only card in his hand.  This, combined with Hikari's massive 2nd turn rush, was too much, granting Hikari victory.

After her victory, Hikari acknowledged his skill, saying he could've defeated anyone else 0-6, which didn't really help him feel much better about what had just happened.  He slammed his fists on the ground, angered at himself for losing to such an arrogant, delusional woman.  He grabbed his deck and stomped out of the cardshop, away from the embarrassment he had just been forced to bear.

After watching that crazy cardfight, Haruki was able to get over his headache and was set to leave. When he started heading towards the door- not as fast this time- and noticed the guy he bumped into earlier was still at the shop. Haruki really felt bad and felt the need to apologize for running into him earlier, so he reached into his bag, grabbed an apology cookie and shouted "Hey! Wait up!"

"Huh? What business would i have with you human, don't mess with me." Akuma yelled.

"Hey, don't yell at that boy he didn't do anything," Makuto whispered at Akuma.

"Whatever we are leaving now." Said Akuma as he left Card Capital closing the door behind him and disappearing into the streets.

"Oh no! I was too late.." Haruki sighed as another unknown person left him with no clues as what to do next. He was nowhere to be seen outside of Card Capital either. So with a cookie in his hand and a song in his heart, Haruki strolled down to the train station, believing that one day he'd find that man again.

When Cero left with his pride shattered, Hikari felt more empowered than she thought she would. Trouncing him was fun.

Uninterested in the event still, Yuki decided to depart from Card Capital, searching around for her sister Hana. Yukino found it that sometimes it was sort of difficult to keep track of everywhere Isabella was going. The sound of her heels clicking was the last thing fighters heard before she left the vicinity of the card shop, traversing the shopping district.

Satoshi finally wiggled out of the trash can he was dumped into. It had been a whole day since the mob had tossed him in, claiming him to be a stalker of some kind. How could he, who knew literally nothing about popular cityfolk culture, be stalking any sort of royalty or famous person?

He sniffed under his arm. He needed a shower and something to eat, he had be trying to get out of the can all day. But where could he go? Back home? That would take hours, and he was pretty sure the train wasn't going to have him on in this state. He hobbled off, trying to maybe find someone who could help him find a place to get a shower and maybe even some grub.

After waiting around, and having a few fun Cardfights, Miyuki decided it was time to leave the Cardshop. Saying goodbye to the people she had played, she made her way out of the shop, and into the Shopping district.

As she was walking along, minding her own buisness, she caught sight of a peculiar figure near one of the stores. Part of her wanted to ignore it, but she was curious as to what was going on and so headed over to find out.

Boring, boring...

Where the hell is someone interesting? A very annoyed Yukino's heels continued clicking about the streets. How droll the Vanguard of these people was, having no real purpose, or aim. And if there was one, it was just "being the best". How someone could be content with just being the top was unknown to her. No matter, she can lighten her mood by listening to Hana talk about how her day was.

While aimlessly searching for her baby sister, she noticed a traveling brunette. ... Wait a minute, Hikari knew who that was.

"Miyuki?"

She was going after someone... and that someone ran right into her. Yukino couldn't help but rush over to check on the girl.

Trudging onward, Satoshi noticed a bunch of girls hanging out in front of a shop, including Yukino. He wanted to ask her about the fact that they both were capable of talking to the cards...but at the same time, he was so sweaty and smelled of garbage. He thought back to what his mother had told him...

"Now boy, remember that y'might meet some sweet ol' thangs in the city. Gotta make sure ya look and smell like the polished apple ah think y'are. Stay cleay, now, y'hear?"

<Shoot...what in tarnation am ah gonna do?...> Satoshi kept his head down as he walked sadly past. <Gotta find a place to freshen up...>

Miyuki picked herself up off the ground and looked around, dazed. She saw a stranger, who apologised for knocking into her, and then asked her where the cardshop is.

'It's just back over that way' she pointed, 'I just came from there myself'.

As the stranger was about to walk off though, she had an idea.

'W-well, if you have time for that, how about a cardfight with me right now?'
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cherry on August 09, 2015, 10:49:44 PM
Before Hikari could even speak, Miyuki suggests a fight with the person who ran into her. Honestly not sure if she's merciful or he's lucky, because the snow queen would've stomped on him for not paying attention. Well, at least this would be something. Like Hana, Yuki treated the little brunette like another precious pupil, practically like another sister. The two of them enjoyed Vanguard and she liked watching her girls' bright smiles when they play, so-

Wait, she was supposed to be looking for Isabella.

Goddammit. But she wants to keep Miyuki in sight, and probably ask for her help in looking for the little sister.

... Then there was an awful smell passing by. Yukino wanted to check, but the threat of her nose shriveling up and dying didn't sound appealing, so refraining was necessary.

(Yes I will be doing the little icons of expression for my character as well as providing a theme to fit the scenery. Theme idea credits go to Cherry :D)

-Fitting Theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_DJLzOfvns)-

Walking through the streets with his backpack over his shoulder, the blonde-mix boy kept walking down the busy streets. His eyes were avoiding staring at the groups of people that he kept passing by as he walked to the corner of the street. He looked down and saw a little boy with his mother, both smiling.

(http://i.imgur.com/NHJdFYC.png) Jellal gave a comforting smile. Seeing children was one of his weak spots. Despite his cold attitude, he recalls the times where he used to own a smile that the young boy had. It reminded him of the young girl he fought, the Oracle Think Tank player: Elizabeth. "Hmmm" he said just as the little boy and his mother kept moving forward across the street.

"Maybe there is some hope..." he said looking up, making a leisurely made a turn down the street where he had his eyes closed but was in a deep nostalgia. He steps into the dark shadows of the tree blocking out the sun, it was then, his eyes slowly opened and before reaching into his back pocket. He grabbed his deck and looked at the card in front.

(http://i.imgur.com/4cOVrMd.png) Blaster Dark's gaze was most terrifying but it didn't scare Jellal. He knew deep down that he needed the avatar of darkness' assistance now more than ever. In fact, he felt that holding it was his punishment for everything that happened on that day.

(http://i.imgur.com/e0rSXLT.png) Jellal's expression returned to his normal as he closed his eyes and slid the deck back in the case aiming it in his hand. He resumed walking as he kept replaying the match that he had with Yukino yesterday and the words that were exchanged: Being able to 'talk' to the cards, it wasn't something unfamiliar to him, it was something he's experienced and yet rejected the idea of it completely. Suddenly, something inside of him triggered, a memory. It was fuzzy but what he saw he could only describe with 'torment'. Jellal dashed into the alley and slammed himself against the wall to catch his breath, dropping his back and his deck case.

"Why am I still..." he thought. His hand over his chest, he could only attempt to catch his breath while hoping no one noticed him react the way he did. He caught a hold of himself and stood back up, grabbing the backpack and the deck that spilled over. He reached for the deck and saw Phantom Blaster Dragon.

(http://i.imgur.com/1JzyfC8.png) A gaze more terrifying than Blaster Dark's, which normally wouldn't have affected him, but Jellal sensed nothing except carnage. He shut his eyes quickly and scooped up the cards, slamming Blaster Dark on top of the sinister Black Dragon.

"Why though...?" he muttered as his hair concealed his eyes. "Why am I so weak...?" His hands shaking violently one minute, froze solid the next. He stood up and shook himself off: physically, mentally, and emotionally. His eyes, that showed fear for a split second showed new-found resolve.

"Of course, it's my fault anyways." he said while walking down the cold alley covered in shadows. "This is the punishment I'm forced to carry out..." he stopped and looked up. "Right?"

It was at that moment Satoshi noticed the public fountain, full of water. <If ah just go and take a dip, ah'll be able to go and get new clothes and not smell...>

He took a running dive at the fountain. Sploosh! He emerged from the water as quickly as he jumped in and scampered off to the nearest clothes store to get some new duds.

Within a matter of minutes, he was out of there with significantly less money, but...practically a business suit in attire. The lady working at the store promised to give him a fresh, sophisticated look for a reasonable price, and while it was still a lot of money, he did feel a lot nicer than before. He even smelled a lot better because they sprayed him down with pleasant, scent-removing cologne.

He proceeded to walk towards the group of girls once again, this time with confidence in his stride...except, for some reason, he bumped shoulders with the man from yesterday.

2-6.

A crushing defeat for the stranger, but Yukino grinned. It was only a natural result from one of her masterful students. Ah, the level of pride she took in them wrecking their foes, leaving their jaws agape in awe of the splendid performances. Bermuda Triangle sure was something, even if it had no definitive finishing power like her own Royal Paladins.

"Good work, Miyuki", Yukino praised as this "Zefarius" took his leave. "Do you know where Hana is, though?" she inquired before really talking more about the fight.

Today is Ighanna's free day so she put full on disguise in order to blend herself in however a certain young boy caught her attention. It was the very same person who appeared to be stalking her friend Himura chan and Hana chan. He seemed to be talking with another suspicious looking man, both were dressed in business attire which made her thought that they might be doing something shady or some sort of mafia work. Raising her courage, she stormed towards the boy, intercepted between the two and dragged him off to a nearby alley. She removes her wool hat and sunglasses which revealed her identity as a superstar.

"Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on my friends, you stalker!" she yelled as Ighanna carried on raging.

'Ah that was an enjoyable fight' she thought. Even though Zefarius's deck hadn't fully worked out for him, it had still been interesting, and she had encountered some new cards. Amber Dragons huh.

Deep in thought she almost missed Yukino talking to her. 'W-what you were there the whole time Yukino?'

'Do I know where Hana is? Well, we were together when we went to the cardshop, but then she ran off after a bit, saying that she had found some exciting new place'.

Yukino found it very cute how Miyuki stammered her first word into responding. A rather... mischievous giggle escaped her lips, one of pure evil if someone took it the wrong way. Though, it was just normal, really.

"No it wasn't", Akane responded to Gordon's belief that Hikari wasn't a malicious tyrant.

"I was here the entire time, I watched you thoroughly floor that boy", Yuki answered. Though, the snow queen frowned some when she heard that Miyuki doesn't have Isabella's exact location. It wasn't worry that bore this sadness, it was just the very idea of being away from her precious little sister for so long.

"Damn, do you know which direction she ran off to? Or any ideas about this new place?" Yukino spoke as she ran a hand through her hair.

Satoshi was about to say something to the man but heard someone shout at him, "Don't you lay your filthy hands on my friends, you stalker!" Strange accusation to make--

Wait, stalker? Was this the person who called the mob on him yesterday?

He turned to see a woman strutting towards him, holding a wool hat and having sunglasses slid into her dress shirt. Unfortunately, he had no familiarity with her, but she seemed mighty furious with him. She was kinda pretty, though, despite most of it coming from her heavy makeup.

He opened his mouth to speak in his normal hick manner, but was surprised to hear himself say, "I beg your pardon?" Did the lady in the store also mention the suit would make him speak like a normal human being?

He continued: "Are you the one who sent that crowd of people after me yesterday? That woman, Miss Yuki, she and I are good acquaintances. I'm afraid I don't quite understand where the claim that I am a 'stalker' came from, madam."

Meanwhile, in his head: <Where in blazes is all this fancy talk comin' from? I wanna tell her off but my mouth ain't lettin' me!>

I have been strolling through the city all day. Everywhere I look I find the game Cardfight Vanguard!! being played all around. "Hmm, I guess this game is reaching out through all the parts of the city. From the card shops, to benches on the sidewalk, to dark ally ways all I here around me is, "Ride", "Call", "Attack". Though there is this one person who is standing by himself, staring into oblivion. "With everyone around, how can he be so quiet and so hidden. Does he not enjoy these games," I think to myself. "That can't be, I've seen him play a couple of games before"

I walk up to this mysterious individual and say, "Hey, I've seen you around the city, but you haven't been with anyone at all.

Despite her inital suprise that Yukino had been watching her play, she relaxed and thought.

'I'm not sure of the exact location, sorry Yukino. I think she said she was going to a Park though, so maybe we could find her in one of the parks around here. There aren't many around here so she shouldn't be too tough to find.'

This was of course only possible if Hana hadn't moved somewhere else afterwards, but there wasn't really anything she could do about it if that was the case.

'I-if you want, I can help you look for Hana', she offered.

"Hana-channn~ Ighanna here. I just wanted to ask you if you're sister knows a personal called....eh..wait a sec" said Ighanna in the call as she asks the young boy for his name.

I need to start keeping Hana on a leash, Yukino plotted, registering what Miyuki was saying, but not giving any response. Akane, any spares?

"I think I should start with questioning the morality behind keeping your sister on a leash..." Akane answered, sweating nervously.

First, why a park? Did Isabella find something there? The snow queen stroked her chin, pondering the motive behind wandering off to a park specifically. Staring off into the sky, an annoyed sigh escaped from her light pink lips. "I appreciate the help, Miyuki", Yukino smiled. Unable to really think of a reason for Hana's actions, she was at least happy to go with her little brunette. Before leaving, though, the blonde one that weld Shadow Paladin was off into the distance. Yukino felt compelled to approach him, but decided to refrain for the time being. There was Satoshi too, whom she wanted to know how he could also hear Cray's calls. Unfortunately for him, sister comes first. He'll have to do with this crazy floozie yelling at him himself.

(http://i.imgur.com/e0rSXLT.png) "This guy..." he thought. His hair was fully blonde, similar to his own. He looked about the same sage as him except he looked radiant, with confidence.

"I was just passing by." Jellal said before turning his direction at the players playing. "But I have no further interest here." As Jellal continued down his path, he looked back at Hazama. "If you're looking for a fight, you're better off challenging one of them." He said leaning his hand back at the newly acknowledged person.

I speed up to the mysterious guy, "Awww come on. You cant just be on the standby. And besides all these people are so enveloped in their own types of people." I turn serious. "Look, directing other people away from you won't get you anywhere. When I was growing up, I lived in a big, big house with only my mother and sister. Besides them, I was alone, shy, and didn't want anything to do with all this city life. But ever sense I have started coming to this blooming city, I've hardly felt that way. So how about this, we cardfight. If you win, I will leave you alone. But if I win, you tell me your name and we go tour the city. That is unless you are to chicken to fight me."

Of course, Jellal could've easily ignored attempt of a taunt. However, his incident today left him weak. Everything he's ever done from that day til now has all been to gather as much strength to needed to cope. It was like after today, he felt completely empty, all of himself was gone, and he needed to pick himself back up. Perhaps that's why he was staring and watching people cardfight: to get himself mentally involved.

(http://i.imgur.com/FPOJdBQ.png) He turned. "Sure." He said with a weak level of confidence, although in his eyes were the resolve he found earlier. "I don't plan on taking it easy on you either, so you better be ready." The cold Jellal had resurfaced once more as the chilly wind went through both fighters as Jellal entered the collected area, standing beside an empty fight table. He grabbed the ruffled and tored up motion figure system glove that was left on the cold iron of the table. Firmly adjusting it to fit his hand, he grabbed his deck and sat it face down after removing a card to the Vanguard Circle and shuffling the deck.

After waiting for several minutes, Ighanna feared that her free time would all go to waste. No message or call from Hana was heard. She then cheerfully asked the young boy if he played "Vanguard" and also his name, planning to have a game of cardfight if he happened to have a deck.

He shrugged. "Well, if that's what it'll take for you to understand I'm not one, Miss...er..."

"My name's Ighanna R. Colberg, I came here from the United Kingdom" she said trying to act like a foreigner. Perhaps the different culture could be why she viewed Satoshi-kun as a stalker, maybe here isn't as bad as the UK.

"I'm sorry for calling you a stalker, lets relax with a game of Vanguard instead" Ighanna apologized as she grabs out her deck.

I turn around and start walking the other way toward the train station. I turn my head around, but still maintain my walking pace. Yelling to Jellal I say, "I hope to see you tomorrow so we can tour the city, there is a lot more out there than you might think!"

Jellal stares at his Shadow Paladin deck.

"Another loss" he thought to himself as Hazama disappeared from his line of vision. He looked at the Blaster Dark that made his way into the damage zone. It was the only one he ran. Jellal sighed as he packed up his cards and placed them in the deck case, staring at it with frustration.

"It's almost like you guys don't want to work." he said out loud. It was strange, someone who rejected the idea of being able to talk to cards, was talking to his cards. However, him staring at the cards was for no reason, he knew that the cards had some way of reaching out to their fighters. He wasn't sure how it was possible but he knew that some were able to and others were not.

"...Whatever." he thought. "It's not like I'm your fighter anyway." The way he said that, implied that the Shadow Paladin that he held dear to him weren't his.

    Hana felt well rested, having just woken up from her nap at home. She yawned with her hand over her mouth. All around her were the other shoppers walking about, families, lovers, and people of all kinds. But she couldn't hear much of the surrounding noise herself as she was listening to music through the earbuds in her ears. She inhaled deeply and took out her phone, her music still playing and earphones connected. She slid her fingers across the screen and then tapped it lightly to open up the internet browser. Large letters flashed onto the screen.

"EGGS ON SALE! SUCH DISCOUNT! MANY DEALS!"

    Hana's love for eggs stems from her love of cooking, which due to her upbringing, she never did much. She's always been raised with servants who would cook whatever she wanted, and a sister who would often purchase for her her favorite foods. Because of this, Hana is terrible at cooking, despite her love for it. This was a discovery she only made recently. The only substance that Hana can actually cook successfully is eggs. She feels like a real professional whenever she make an omelette, and she often loves to invite her sister home for dinner whenever she cooks her specialty omurice, a variant of her delicious omelette, but with rice.

"Right then!" Hana looked determined, running off to the direction of the grocery store, eggs are the best.

Returning from his win at Card Capital, Itou heads to the Shopping District to buy some food for him, and the moment he gets there he hears a shout on an egg sale. Immediately he gets there and shoves everyone else out of the line so he can get the cheap goods, but when he got there there was only enough eggs for 1 person, so he ran with all his strength, getting inside at the same time as Hana, who seemed as determined as Itou was for those eggs.

Tricked into a cardfight for the sake of the eggs, Itou walks back home without knowing the name of the girl who stole his bargain and ends his day with a weird dream, he saw someone calling for him, and sees again the mysterious shop he saw the other day when running after the thief. Could it have a deeper meaning? What if it was all made up? The feeling of curiosity is driving Itou towards the next day

"Ahhh, look how busy it is today. Hopefully that means I can test out the power of my new card," I think to myself. And the timing is just to perfect, I see an old friend sitting down on a bench looking through his deck.

"TSUBASA!!!!" I yell as I start catching up to my friend. "Tsubasa, remember me, Hazama. And you cant believe it. Yesterday I went to this shop and this creepy lady fought me. Then she gave me a card I have never seen before. So want to help me test it out?" I ask him finally getting to my point.

After finding a bench on the side I start looking at my cards and pondering about several strategies that I can use.

Suddenly, while deep in thought, I hear a distinct voice calling my name. As I looked around I neither saw nor heard anyone call my name. For a moment I thought that I was going crazy as I started to question myself, "Did the cards just..."

Before I can call back to my deck I realize that in reality an old friend was trying to reach out to me from the crowd, It was Hazama all along. "Oh...wow I can't believe that I actually thought...nah thts enough," I thought to myself. "Hey Hazama, of course I remember you,it's good to see you again" I said with a smile.

I listen to his tale, and then I start talking.

With his stomach growling more than ever before, Haruki had finally made it to Hoshiko. Anything and everything was found here, and that included great food. But of course, luck wasn't in store for Haruki, as he soon realized had no money on him to get something to eat.

"Auauu~!" he whimpered, as all hope seemed lost. Haruki dragged his feet to a bench and sat down, searching through his bag for anything useful he might have missed.

Still searching through what he had on him, Haruki stumbled across a marvelous find in his collection. The apology cookie that he had been holding onto for a while, still fresh in its package, and chocolate chip too! He tore off the wrapper and ate the treat with glee.

After finishing his cookie, Haruki looked at the valuables he collected the day before and noticed something tagged on the keys. "Rijiku Aparments - 203"

"My next clue! Nice, nice!"

"You were given a mysterious card from a 'creepy lady' huh, well in that case let's not waste anymore time show me your new strength."

The fight was really intense. Tsubasa really utilized the power of the Royal Paladins, by using Akane's skill to get out Pongal from the deck. Each turn got more intense by strengthening our forces even more.

"Ride!" "Call!" "Skill!" "Attack!" "Trigger!" is what the battle was like 90% of the time.

The outcome was in Tsubasa's favor by me decking out from a stupid, retarded, draw trigger. Heres how it happened.

On his turn I was taking my fifth damage on his last attack while I had 5 cards in left in the deck. I check a draw, which leaves 3 cards left in deck. I draw for my turn which leaves 2 cards left in deck. He was at three damage, and with me being at grade 3, my loss was inevitable. Though if I didn't check that draw, I would have used Stil Vampir's megablast and put Wingal Brave to the Vanguard Circle. That would have reduced his shield to only 25k. With my columns so devastating, thanks to the three Doreens in backrow, his Wingal Brave wouldn't have stood a chance against my assault.

Overall the game was really great, and I hope we will meet again someday.

Also after the game he laughed because he has never had an enjoyable fight like this one. Then he said, "Well I don't laugh very much, so I can see that you are a skilled player."

After the little conversation, I gathered my belongings and went to explore the city. Though, as usual, I turned my head around and said, "Until Next time!" Then, I walked off.

--Kota had agreed to go help run errands with his foster sister, Fuuka, as an apology for staying out so long without coming back home. But a clothing store stood between them and the grocery store--

"Hm. Kota which should I get?"
"Uh what...?"
"Uh which jacket...? The brown-ish denim one with the long sleeves and the big, black zippers everywhere or this longer dark blue one with the velcro straps where the zipper usually would be."

"The Brown one."
"Bah...but its also higher than this one..."
"Then the blue one."
"But that one isn't very adult-like...even if its my favorite shade of blue."
"Just get them both...?"
"Are you crazy?? That's just too much...Besides if I spent it all on clothes, mom and dad would flip..!"

"You spend the errand money on clothes...?""Well, yeah. As long as they get what they wanted and a wad of money back, its all good.""Are....are you even serious?""Of course I am. Also I know you only went along with this so easily is because you wanted to get some stuff, too, right? I don't see a place for cards or anything so maybe you trying to buy something...for a girl you like?""Of course I'm not. If you really wanna know, I was wondering about buying some things so I can stay out in the park longer before it got too late."
"Are you actually gonna buy a cellphone?! Wow, I thought you were against the whole 'Trackable Presence' thing."
"I am. But getting in touch with home that doesn't involve so much walking back and forth is worth it. Besides I'm sure that they wont mind too much. Anyways let's just get the stuff so we can get our stuff."

Haruki returned to Hoshiko the next day, as it seemed like one of the best places to have tons of fun. The truth of the matter was, he wanted to figure out what had happened the night before, but the thought of what could have happened was super stressful for him. A day in the shopping area could lighten his mood until he was ready to go searching for clues again.

When he was walking around, he noticed his friend Kota from Card Capital in one of the stores. He was with some other girl looking at clothes, but Haruki was omega excited to see him again since they haven't met since the event at Card Capital. He ran straight into the clothing store and waved to his good friend.

"Hey Kota! I haven't seen you in forever!" Haruki exclaimed with a gleeful smile.

"So much has happened in these past few days! You wouldn't believe what crazy stuff I got into since the stamp rally and Card Capital! I can explain it way better with a cardfight," Haruki replied as he took out his deck.

He looked to what Kota was staring at and saw that Fuuka was having trouble choosing what to buy. He gestured towards the most epic pair of shoes in the store and told the girl "You should definitely get these ones, they'd look omega cool when you wear them," and a look of surprise and joy grew on Fuuka's face as she found these amazing shoes.

He turned to Kota and asked "Why don't you come to Card Capital now so we can have a great fight?"

On his way home Tsubasa stops by the shopping district in hopes of finding and buying a black jacket, silence fills the store as people are browsing and going about their daily lives.

"Hmm, I never thought finding a black jacket would be so annoying." he thought, while browsing through the several jackets on display.

The silence is broken by a gesture of friendship from friend to friend as two individuals begin to chat with one another after what seems to be surprise meeting.

"Who would've thought that the store would be so silent, to the point that I can hear their conversation..." he thought. "..Huh....'Card Capital'..'Cardfight'..are they..they have to be cardfighters."

Tsubasa approaches the two strangers, full of hope that he might get to enjoy another cardfight like the one he had the day before.

"Excuse me, would either of you be interested in a cardfight?" he said with a slight smile on his face.

"Oh, it's nice to meet the both of you, the name's Tsubasa, if you guys don't mind can I join you at card capital, so we can cardfight?"

"Huh? I guess these are your friends, Kota? Well. You gotta start somewhere. Anyways, I'm done so we can book it to where we need to go."
"Uh, that's a lot of stuff. How much do you have left...?"
"Enough."
"Seriously Fuuka, I don't need them on my back. They don't really care if you mess up, ya know. But if I so much as breathe wrong, there's something apparently the matter with me."
"Fine we'll split the chores."
"Chores...?"
"Yep just like we always do. You take care of the errand, I take care of your friends. I finished what I wanted to do so the rest is just a drag. Deal?"
"What?"
"This takes care of everything. Besides you still haven't gotten your outdoorsy things for outdoorsy stuff for when you're outdoors, right?"
"But you cant just dump your responsibility on me..!"
--Fuuka places her hand on Kota's shoulder and looks him in the eyes--

"Don't worry. Take the rest of the money for the errand, breathe and everything will be alright. I trust you and I'm sure mom and dad do too. That's probably why they sent you with me right when they need a bunch of things. Usually they just send me out for a few things. But this time, they need to buy actual groceries. You got this."

She didn't notice that her volume was on full blast and was caught by random encounter in the game in which she was playing.

"BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY [ Instrumental Music Plays ] [ Rapping ]," the CSP blasted the sounds of the game which she was playing on full blast and she was caught by surprise and she jumped up and almost fell off the bench.

Daichi decides to visit the Shopping District as there was no college that day.

He also decides he will try to find a scarf for his friend, Anjaro.
He clicks some photos on his phone, flashy lights and hoardings everywhere.
He finds a smell of Ramen in the air, and follows in it's direction.
After having a hard time explaining to the shop owner what he wants with handsigns, he realizes he does not know how to use the chopsticks,as he has never tried using them.
He looks around for local residents who could help, but everyone looks busy.

Hana walked into the ramen shop. The workers all welcomed her and bowed as she entered.

"Hello Ms. Espoir, how are you doing today?" an old worker greeted her. He was usually the server whom served the Espoir family whenever they visited this ramen house.

Hana smiled and followed ojiisan to her designated seat. "My family is doing great actually, my dad's been a bit cranky later since's he's had to work overtime. My mom and sister are doing great though, I think. My sister's been involving herself with a lot of strange guys though." she put on her thinking face, wondering what is sister is currently up to.

They served her her favorite combo, there was no need for her to order as they knew what her usual order was, it basically was full of eggs. He laughed, "Well she is at that age, it won't be long 'til you have a brother in law!" The man let out a small grin, "You both have grown up so much, I remember when your father used to take you both here, you were both so little."

"Well apparently she said she didn't spend time with the guys in that way though ojiisan."
"She's lying."
"Oh ok, that makes sense." Hana picked up the noodles using her chopstick and began slurping on them.

Daichi, still fumbling with the chopsticks notices a little girl walk into the shop.
He notices how everyone at the shop knows her. "She must be a regular..", he thinks to himself, still unaware of the Espoirs.

With the cup of Ramen in his hands, he moves over to her table and bows down.

"Kon..ni..chiwa.. Umm.. This might be a bit awkward, but I was thinking if you could help me with the chopsticks", he says, still bowing.
"I am not from around here and have never used them."

He is a bit embarrassed about the turn of events.

"Hello megane-kun," she greeted him. Regarding his question with the chopsticks, she thought about if for a moment. She had no reason to reject but she had no idea how to teach him. She took the chopsticks wrapper and showed him the instructions on how to hold chopsticks written on the wrapper.

"Well you see you just hold one like pencil like this..." she goes through the motions showing him how. "Then the other goes in between your fingers..." She was having a hard time explaining but along with the instructions on the wrapper, it should have been clear enough.

Daichi regains his composure as he likes how welcoming the cute girl is.
He tries to use the chopsticks, picking up a bunch of Ramen and slurping it up.

"Yummy."

"Me..Megane-kun..", he adjusts his glasses,"..hahaha. That is a funny name. My name is Daichi Umehara. May I know the name of my Chopstick's Sensei?"

The little girl reminds Daichi of his little sister, the memory saddens him a little. He thinks to himself if this girl would also be a cardfighter someday.

"Do you Cardfight, sensei?", daichi asks, as he finishes his cup of Ramen quickly.

Hana notices that he is taking awhile with Ramen, it might spill on his cards... Not that it really matters, as Vanguard cards are actually all around waterproof, made to withstand the temperatures at both ends of the Kelvin Scale. Yes, Vanguard cards can withstand absolute zero, and obviously, nuclear explosions. If he were to spill Ramen on his cards, he can simply wash it off by throwing it into a washing machine or scrub it with sandpaper. Hana nodded because she remembers when a flying Vanguard card collided with a train some years ago, the train exploded.

"S-sensei... chop...sticks.... sensei." Hana blushed a little but moved on to his other question.
"I cardfight, yes!" She took her deck out from her bag and placed it onto the table. The mass of the deck, (15,140,000,000 Solar Mass[Solar Mass= Mass of 1 Sun] (approx. 2Ă—10^30 kilograms)) nearly caused the table and the rest of the earth to explode, but it didn't because of reasons.

Megane-kun too placed his deck upon the table without the universe exploding.

He got the first turn.
"Stand Up, Vanguard!"
"Ikke! Wendell-chan!"



"Psychic Bird and Oracle Guardian, Nike! Double Critical!" Megane-kun adjusted his glasess, "Gomen, double critical, all effects to CEO Amaterasu!"

"Uguu." Hana preformed her three damage trigger checks without a successful trigger. She was pushed to four damage and had to take her fifth from Oracle Guardian, Red eye whos power was at 29,000 due to the triggers.

Eventually through Pacifica's skill, combo'd with Rio-chan and Tyrrhennia, Hana was able to maintain her resources and keep a hand which could guard through any situation while still being able to strike back. Hana was able to outlast Megane-kun's deck which had the megablast set up. Unfortunately by his final turn, he had no more cards in hand, making CEO Amaterasu unable to gain the +4000 power and giving Hana an easier time to guard.

Hana checked a critical, Drive Quaretet, Shuplu and attacked with her rearguard Top Idol, Pacifica to win the game.

"Ikke, my B-u-n-s-h-i-n!" She rested Pacifica to signal the attack, "Blue Pink Penguin Super Laser!!!" Then some part of Cray exploded.



Megane-kun finished his noodles and thanked her for the fight. Hana waved to him goodbye and smiled as she had fun fighting him. She stood up and realized that she forgot to eat her noodles. She sat back down and ate her noodles. She put her deck back into her bag and began to eat her noodles.

"Itadakimasu~"

Affinity:
Megane-kun: +1

The afternoon heat is getting to Haruka as he trudges around in shorts and a tank top, sporting a pale green scarf. The day before wasn't exactly physically exhausting and much as it was mentally.

"She's... so..." Haruka is trying to put his finger on how he feels about Yukino.

"Beautiful?"

Haruka stops and stands still vacantly. An intense blush rises to his face.

"M-Maybe..." Haruka admits. He's so glad nobody he knows is around right now.

"You really are hopeless."

"O-Okay fine, fine, sue me!" Haruka starts spouting off.


As he walks by his favorite ramen shop for a bowl of super spicy noodles, Haruka notices a familiar face from outside the window.

"Hana!" Haruka yells. He dashes inside the ramen shop over to Hana's table. "'Sup?" Haruka's exhaustion has nearly disappeared.

"Hoh?" He stands there for a moment somewhat confused.

"How do you know I play Kagero now? Specifically Dragonic Overlord?" Haruka was genuinely unnerved for a few moments.

He masks his puzzled expression with one of embarrassment. "Haha...," he scratches the back of his head like normal whilst attempting to smile casually.

It clearly wasn't working, as even people around him were giving off odd looks.

"Oh well I can just hear it."

Hana is able to hear the voices of units with greater proficiency than her sister, being able to hear them through doors and through long distances as she did with Blaster Blade. For her, it wasn't much of surprise when she heard the voice of Haruka's ace units when they spoke.

"Or maybe just a very lucky guess?..." She raised her hand an Ojiisan came with her check. She placed took her wallet out of her bag and placed her payment as well as her tip onto his hands. The thanked each other and when he had left, she turned back to Haruka.

"So what brings you here Overlordo-kun?"

"I was taking a walk after last night. It was-" The blush returns a little.

"Haru. You should confess to your sins to the Ice Queen's sister. She would be more than forgiving for lik-"

"They aren't sins! And I-I-I don't!!" Haruka is steamed up.

He pinches the bridge of his nose takes a second to figure out his thoughts a bit more clearly. "Err, I was worried a bit actually. What happened last night with you? You showed up out of nowhere, just transfixed on who knows what?" Haruka is actually clearly worried about Hana and why she was there. She seemed to be under a spell or something, just prancing into the park.

"You okay? I mean, Yukinon must already have it under control by now, but I was just a bit, er, I dunno." The words aren't exactly coming out the way he wants them too, so he tries a different approach. Simple, clean and effective. He zeroes in on Hana.

"Hana, why were you at the park last night?" Haruka's expression turned cold. It wasn't the normal embarrassed teenager act. The inner flame started to co-pilot in assisting Haruka here. Even if the reason isn't important, it's the only way for him to really converse with people.

Hana wondered why he was serious, but she tried to recall what happened last night. She nearly forgot he was there because she was too focused on her sister.

"Well I was over at the park to check on my sandcastle. After the evil guy left, my sister took me to go check on it before we went home."

She nodded. "You seem to be be a little stiff, anything on your mind" Maybe a Cardfight would help you calm down."

Cero decided that while he was in Japan, he may as well take time out of his trip to try the cuisine, something he had been too caught up in cardfighting to remember to do.  His stomach growled when he reached the shopping district and the scent of all kinds of all different types of food reached his nostrils.  He hadn't gotten lost this time, since he had been here before when he first arrived in Japan.  The first thing he wanted to try was 'ramen,' which he had heard was far different and far better here than the instant ramen noodle cups that people ate back in Europe, and was in search of a ramen house.  It didn't take him long to find one, and when he entered, he noticed Hana talking with someone he didn't recognize.  Not being in the mood to cardfight, he chose to simply order his ramen, hoping neither Hana nor her friend would interrupt his meal.

By now, Miyuki almost didn't care anymore. All she wanted to do was sit down and have some food. After asking for directions to the Ramen Shop (it'd been awhile since she'd been there and she'd forgotten), she headed straight there.

Ignoring her surroundings, she entered, and ordered some ramen. Since she wasn't that familiar with the shop, she just went for the boring standard meal, as it seemed to be the safest option. Still stuck in her own world of hunger, she found a seat and started to eat.

Haruka's expression softened. He blinks for a moment. The inner flame cooled off, and the flare appeared in his eyes. He felt the heat from his chest move throughout him for a moment.

"A Cardfight, huh... Yeah. Yeah let's do that." Haruka smiles, genuinely. Normally Haruka was always serious about his fights. But this one was different. He pulls out his deck and places it on the right.

"You got it, Miss Hana Espoir. Let's make it a good one, yeah?" His honest smile returned.

The queen strode about the Shopping District, a bit irritated over the sudden restriction of Barcgal. Going in Card Capital, then getting out as fast as possible so the scrubiness of the players there didn't rub off on her... eyes carefully gazed over new Grade Zeroes. ... These were all terrible choices for her deck, save one. While she'd prefer being able to drop her Avatar whenever she pleased, she supposed this was for the best. Soul Saver's arrival and Holy Charging Roar was a privilege and a reward for effort, not something that should end games for doing absolutely nothing.

Accepting the banishment of Barcgal from deck, but not from mind, the Royal Paladins adjusted.

Yukino noticed Hana and Haruki, remembering last night, Hana was probably in good hands. ... That is, if Haruki didn't make any sudden movements. Big sister mode would activate at the drop of a dime and he'd be flying through Card Capital were he to make a mistake. Also noting Miyuki and Cero over by the ramen shop. Ramen was a commoner's choice of food... yet, the queen never minded its taste.

Decisions, decisions...

Cero was too busy eating his ramen to notice that someone had taken a seat next to him.  This ramen was absolutely delicious, and he was going through bowls and bowls of it, slurping away, having not eaten for several days.  Eventually, he noticed the girl sitting next to him, and was unsure of what to do.  She clearly wasn't aware he was there, likely too caught up in eating like he had been.  Figuring he should let her know he was there, he, without realizing how loud he was being, introduced himself.  "Greetings, I am Europe's King of Vanguard, Cero Kirguis!  I have come to Japan to challenge the strongest cardfighters!"

"Miss Yuki!"

Satoshi jogged up to Yukino. He had been wanting to ask her, as well as Haruka, about stuff related to Cray, but after Hikaru showed up at the park, everyone had somehow gone their separate ways and he completely forgot to ask about it.

"Last night, at the park...I wanted to ask you about Cray..." He was really out of breath. Maybe he needed to eat something for the day, he hadn't thought of that yet.

"Let's make this good then!"

The fight started off in no one's particular favor. Haruka managed to critical early on the fight, but with the powerful pressure of Hana's Bermuda Triangle, and the immense hand advantage the deck offers, it took Haruka a long time to even manage to break through her defenses. The only power point Haruka could count on was retiring Hana's rear guards in order to lessen the blow from attacks next turn and force more of her hand to refill the field.

The battle raged on, 4 to 5 in Haruka's favor, but Hana drive checked a heal trigger and evened it back up. Top Idol, Riviere hit Dragonic Overlord square in the jaw for another damage tacked into his damage zone.

It was Haruka's turn now. "Stand and draw.." Haruka was nervous. Berserk Dragon. He could force a retire now and power-up his Blazing Flare Dragon, and as well as his Demonic Dragon Guru, Maharoga's on either side of the back-line. But instead, he called Dragonic Overlord. He wanted this fight to be over with raw power. "Dragonic Overlord attacks your Vanguard!!" Hana replied with a confident, "No gaado!"

Haruka broke into a sweat. "Twin Drive!!" He reached to the deck. He flipped the top card over and... breathed a sigh of relief.

"Embodiment of Spear, Tahr! Critical Trigger! Critical to My Vanguard Overlord, and power the rear guard one." The next check was a Dragon Monk, Gojo.

Haruka took the game by a hair.


"You know, Hana. That was fun... I mean, really. Most of my fights have always been about getting stronger. Being confident. But that was..." Haruka honestly smiled again. "I enjoyed that. Thanks again." He gave his signature goofy grin back to Hana.

Miyuki continued eating her ramen, blissfully enjoying the taste.
'Ahh, this is good' she thought to herself. She continued eating it, until she was interrupted by a loud voice.

'W-what? Oh I'm sorry, I didn't notice you.'

Suprised by this man, who had somehow appeared next to her, she stammered out a reply. Or had she sat down next to him, without noticing?

'So, Cero was it? You're not from around here? And King of Vanguard?'

Despite herself, she couldn't stop questions from coming out of her mouth.

"Whew, arigatou Pacifica." She smiled at her avatar and returned her deck back into her bag.

"That was a fun show, lots of lights and fire." That made me feel more relaxed too as she was able to try out some of her newer cards.

She stood up and saw Miyuki next to Screamo-kun. She wonder what to do for a bit... does she approach them or not?

....Well Hana decided to go home and fry an egg.

Haruka noticed the sudden absence of a Hana. So instead, Haruka takes out his deck and spends some time looking at his cards.

"Dragonic Overlord... " He stares at the card, feeling hot in his hand. "Thank y-"

"I should be thanking you, My Vanguard. You truly are a worthy master."

Haruka is astonished, staring at him. A smile forms on his face. He nods and the card gives off another wave of warmth in return. He places it back in his deck and looks up to see a certain someone looking at him through the window. He raises an eyebrow and the blush suddenly returns.

"So. My Vanguard. Are you going to talk to her?"

Haruka looks forward, away from the window. "U-Uh, err..." Haruka finds himself unable to respond to Overlord, or even really move. He breathes in a big breath and releases it several seconds later. "I guess we can finally ask about the Chosen Sword now, huh?"

"That works. Don't trip over all of your words though."

"I've never eaten ramen before, and decided that I may as well try it while I was in Japan," Cero responded before continuing, "I'm here to challenge all of Japan's strongest cardfighters and become the true King of Vanguard!"  His goal was something he hadn't said before, so he wasn't actually sure why he said that.  After that, he realized Miyuki was looking at someone behind him, so he turned around to see Hana, his rival's sister.

The queen turned to a frantic Satoshi, stowing her deck away to respond to him. "Are you alright?", she asked before answering his concerns with Cray. With Haruki off in the distance, he was probably going to approach her for some questions too. Hana and Miyuki were meeting up with each other at the Ramen shop at least, so she left them in each other's hands.

Mind you, Cero being with them may cause a disturbance...

Haruka finally made up his mind and made his way over to Yukino who was also accompanied by Satoshi.

He walks up to the two and makes his opening. "Hey Yukinon, Satoshi." He attempts to shake his hand, considering their last meeting had been ruined by a certain Underground Fight King.

"About Cray..." Haruka mentions. He sends a nod to Satoshi who notably is asking about the same thing.

"I do know her.  She was the first person I cardfought after arriving here in Japan.  She's also the sister of my rival, Hikari," Cero said as he clenched his fists to the thought of Hikari beating him twice.  When he noticed Hikari in the distance, it took all his willpower to not stand up and shout another challenge at her in hopes of a victory.  He turned his attention back to Hana, who had yet to say anything to them.

Shiki made it to the Shopping District, the goal of his most important quest yet, all that seperated him from his precious manga shop was a pair of stairs, and since he already made it this far he was filled with confidence, those stairs were nothing in the face of his love for those black and white comic books aimed mostly at children way below his age group.

As he struggled his way up this obstacle, his last reserves of energy finally left him, he lost his grip and started tumbling down the stairs, face-planting the floor from where he started making alot of noise. Thankfully to god he didn't make it past like 5 steps or else this would've ended either fatally or with a few broken bones, instead save for a few bruises here and there Shiki was actually fine, lying on the cold floor and enjoying every second of it.

Satoshi nodded to Haruka acknowledging his curiosity as well and proceeded to explain to Yukino what was up:

"Well, last time we had this kind of talk, at the construction site, I wanted to know what it meant to be able to talk to the cards. Since then...well, I don't know how much this applies to you, but I've learned there's a war brewing on Cray and lines are being drawn by champions of those nations. According to my source, you, I, and several others we know fit that role as champions, though only one of us is a leader. I wanted to maybe confirm what exactly is going on and try to understand..."

He then directed his words to Haruka. "Judging by the fact you were curious as well, there's a chance you fit the role as one of those champions as well."

"Yuki-err, Yukino..?" Haruka spouts. He shrugs in his awkward attempt at fixing the name he previously butchered. Instead he fixes his gaze onto her with a bit more seriousness.

"You talked about being a Queen and the Chosen Sword Cray. What did you mean? And what connection do you have to this place. I always thought Cray was some make-believe place we used to teach beginners."

Haruka tries hard to keep her attention this time. He wants an answer. Something. Anything. Haruka has been grasping for something in the dark and the only thing he found was Dragonic Overlord. But the strength of his cards only goes so far. He needs answers, and he needs allies.

He turns to Satoshi. "I don't know anything about being a champion or a leader or even what Cray really is. But I trust you guys. Or for lack of a better answer, I want to trust you both."

"Call me Hikari or Yuki if it's easier", she offered to Haruka.

"... Yes, I've known about this for years", the Chosen Sword began with Satoshi's words, already knowing full well of Cray's coming turmoil. Letting out a sigh, there was some information that had clarified for these other "champions".

"Cray is going to be under attack soon, or is already, I know not the actual details on if everyone there is fighting already or not. But they're looking toward Earth for assistance, believing humans can steer the fate of their planet. Overall, they're looking for someone to lead them against the menace. I, however, am different, as the Espoirs have held strong connections to the distant world for eons. I was chosen by Royal Paladin to-"

Before continuing on, she heard a crash. The queen turned, seeing people rush over to someone who just fell down some stairs. What a clumsy goofball-, her thoughts were halted, seeing that it was the lolicon who threatened the princess!

"You!" she shouted and pointed.

So much for that info on Cray...

After a while, Shiki attempted to lift himself up from the floor, only to see that one person he wanted to see the least, the white stalker that appeared everywhere he went. He pointed at her, his hand visibly shaking.

"Y-You..! The White-haired chuuni stalker! You really.. do follow me everywhere..! Once I rest for a bit.. I'll.. c-call the police!" he yelled at her, resting his face on the cold floor again, "Oh and heels are for spoiled kids.." he added, having noticed her heels for the first time.

Satoshi furrowed his brow at the newcomer who just went out of his way to insult Yukino. Kind of rude for someone who was a clear klutz and looked shady as possible to claim he'd call the cops on her. More importantly, for the second time, the discussion had been interrupted, and he really wanted to understand more about what was going on and not have to chase after Yukino and Haruka again to try and sort things out.

"You tryin' t'pick a fight from down there?" he said to the floor monkey, cracking his knuckles a bit.

Infuriated, the queen was nearly about to go strangle him... until he said something about her heels. He called her spoiled! Does he know how much she had to work to get the money to buy these?! These weren't from father, oh no, she worked for these specifically!

Snapping, those heels clicked rapidly as Yukino was rushing toward him to attack. Never mind the people she pushed and tossed aside to get to him.

Haruka finds his conversation interrupted for a second time in a row. The fury in his veins was nearly incomprehensible. Haruka rarely finds himself in a particularly in a poor mood, but this time he felt personally attacked. However due to his moral code, he should technically be defending the poor guy. Shiki was near decimation and all Haruka could do was watch.

Serves him right for interrupting. He sighs a breath of indifference and puts a hand on Satoshi's shoulder. "Let it go, dude. This isn't our battle to fight." He sends Satoshi a look and nods. Nodding seems to be their consensual "Okay, I understand," message. Or so Haruka has come to believe

Shiki didn't see much, all he had infront of his eyes was the floor on which his head was firmly rested, he did however hear the heels constantly hitting the floor as if the white haired girl was running towards him, ofcourse she was. A sudden surge of energy entered Shiki, probably because he realized that if he didn't do anything he'd get brutally murdered on the spot, and this time there was nobody to save him like last time. He turned himself to her and pointed his finger once again.

"This again?! Is violence all you can think of to solve problems!? That's not very lady-like of.. anyone!" he yelled, basicaly the first thing that came to his mind as a last chance to save his life, ofcourse he didn't expect it to work and burried his head in his hands, ready for the oncoming train of 100% pain.

Cero, hypocritically annoyed at the shouting that had interrupted his meal, turned around to see Hikari shouting at some hopeless man lying at the bottom of some stairs into a store.  Realizing that man had no hope and likely about to die, Cero figured now would be a good time to leave before becoming witness to a murder scene.  He stood up and began to leave, waving good-bye to Miyuki as he did.  Not exactly sure where to go, Cero figured he may as well go back to wandering for the rest of the day, or perhaps visit the slums and see if the anyone stronger was there for once.

"He has a point!" Blaster Blade shouted, trying to stop her before she killed him in cold blood. The queen supposed she was always answering everything with violence. But that was just her way of doing things, never mind temper issues. Maybe there was another way to tear him a new one. Hikari stopped her charge right in front of the fallen boy, looming over him like an enraged demon.

Wait a minute, Regionals got announced, didn't they...

Ohoho, this'll be good. She can get ahead and embarrass him all at once.

"Okay, fine, we'll do this another way", Yukino grabbed Shiki by his collar, dragging him to the tournament dome for Regionals...

Satoshi sighed. There she goes, dragging him off without any regard for the people who were trying to talk to her...if she's going to humor her "royal subjects," why is she so inattentive to their existence that she doesn't even say, "Excuse me while I deal with this," as she left?

Regardless, he couldn't help but admire her desire to kick that street rat's teeth in. Particularly in regionals, something he was looking forward to participating in at some point. Maybe they'd both make it to nationals somehow...

He felt Haruka's hand on his shoulder and nodded. "Yeah, it's not our fight. Would've been interesting to see if that guy was anything close to a champion on his own, maybe, at least for our sake..." He turned to him and smiled. "I'm glad you trust us, at the very least. I know it's not much to go off of, but if there's great power in each of us, then something's going to happen down the road we're all going to need to work together to overcome."

Itou leaves the Construction area after helping the works and feels in the need of something to eat, he drops by a ramen shop and eats some juicy, meaty and salty bowl. After his well deserved meal he still gets an ice cream for dessert, and filled with a happy belly he sees a poster announcing National Tournament Qualifiers. Itou wants to join, but after his fight with Haruki he fears his deck is not strong enough as it is, maybe he needs something new... he walks in the shopping district aimlessly.

Haruka smiles back to Satoshi. "A champion, eh? I like the sound of that."

"Don't underestimate this man. He may be one of your most formidable opponents." Haruka's smile fades, knowing what Overlord means.

"Satoshi. I mean no disrespect by this. But be prepared. I won't be afraid to take you on if we fight. But I don't wanna fight you now. I want us at the grand stage. Nationals. Be there." Haruka's smile becomes less friendly and more competitive. "Don't lose until then."

With that, Haruka declares Satoshi a rival of his. Haruka feels a pure, noble aura radiate from Satoshi.

The pieces are falling together. "Until we meet again?"

Satoshi +2 AP

Haruka is impressed with the change to mercy last second. Hopefully Yukino will be another tough opponent he gets to face. And maybe he'll finally have some real answers by then.

"Until then." Haruka returns the handshake with a fire in his eyes.

Friendly Rivalry to be documented.

Haruka gives a small salute before heading out. He comes to the decision that without a proper slot in Regionals, he has to go fast and secure one himself. With that, he disappears out into the city.

Right after they finished the fight, Shiki quickly packed his deck in panic and blasted off for his dear life from the dome (whereever that is since I don't really want to post in the other thread) as if the devil himself was after him, which he probably was. He completely forgot about his manga but he also knew that on the other hand if he stayed any longer he'd die.. afterall, the entire game he was throwing insults at the girl feeling safe at the other end of the table, and to top that off he won the game due to mere luck rather than skill, she was bound to be more angry than she was before the fight.

After hearing what Jellal had to say 2 days ago Kaze decided to spend yesterday relaxing. Not knowing what to do Kaze goes looking for Jellal for more asks not knowing what else he might know. "What did he mean by he couldn't tell me everything now?" he asked himself. He looks up at the sky wondering about the situation. Kaze's stomach growls from hunger "Maybe i should grab a bite before I do anything else." he said.

He walked up to a food stand and asked for 2 hot dogs and a can of Sprite. Kaze pays the guy at the stand and receives his food. He goes to on of the open tables and sits to eat his food. While eating he watches as the local fighters cardfight and thinks again "Sometimes I get the feeling there's just a lot more to this game then just having fun and settling scores with people.". Kaze continues to eat and let time go by.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. That's all the farm boy had ever been. That's all the farm boy was ever going to be, making decisions like he had.

His jacket was in the trash. His deck lay on its side as he sat curled in a ball, unreachable by the world. He couldn't do it. He couldn't face the world when the world wanted to take the one thing he had always wanted away from him as soon as he got it. Truly, this sick irony was not something easily recovered from.

Satoshi was broken. Seph had tried his hardest to reach him as he ran away from the scene, telling him that Hana was coming with Alfred. He couldn't make it through to the boy, though. He was long gone. His mind was in shambles, because the love of his life, his first friend...his best friend had rejected him and their other best friend for power. There was nothing that could be done, as far as he was concerned. Her fate, and thus, his, was sealed.

He sobbed into his legs. How could he have been stupid to believe, for just a moment?...

Ighanna arrives at the train station in hopes of finding Satoshi, Yukino or Hana in order to discuss what was going on. Queen Elizabeth has previously assigned her to look after the "Cray Ambassadors" as they have the potential to open the sealed deck. Once that sealed is opened, it will guide her in order to support the Cray Wars and unlock the sealed clans however as of now she is unsure who else is a "Cray Ambassador." Her list of suspicion includes Miyuki, Jello-san and Hazama who has "Blade Wing Reijy" but nonetheless there is no way to confirm this.

Unable to find any of her suspects, she strolls across the shopping district to find some delicious food to eat as she hasn't eaten anything yet since her return from London's royal meeting.

"Uh, I'll take a few of-" Without even finishing his sentence, the ice cream shop keeper simply handed him a bar. "I know, Haruka. You always buy the same kind. Every time." The shop keeper was old, mid 50's probably. Haruka sheepishly smiled and handed him the money. Before he left, he bows and waves as he usually did. It never struck Haruka as particularly odd or anything, but the shopkeepers questioned why he did so on several occasions.

"To show thanks, I guess?" That was the only phrase Haruka could conventionally come up with. He then sped back off into the shopping district, gnawing on his sea-salt ice cream bar. Today had been really nice, or at least reuniting with friends at Card Capital. Yet, he felt as though he needed to jet out of there for a while. "Too hot in there."

Too hot? Really? That's just an excuse. I just needed to be alone. Away from the everyone in Card Capital. Or, something like that.

Haruka bit the bar, taking a chunk of it off. He propped himself against a wall near the ice cream parlor, staring up at the sky, like usual. Cliche, maybe, but it was calming at the very least. At least people wouldn't approach him or question him.

"Hoh... It's warm out again." The chill that was present this afternoon was gone and a warm evening rolled in. "Weird..." Isn't it supposed to get colder at night? Well in the end, it didn't really make a difference. He savored his ice cream bar. "Overlord... come back." Haruka said these words every day, at one point or another. He knew that it wasn't actually going to save anything or anybody. But in the back of his head, somewhere, he felt those words were reaching him. Maybe, maybe not. But it's what he felt.

It's been a very long time since Shiki visited the shopping district, for the past two months he got everything he wanted off ebay and amazon. Oh  the wonders of the internet, aren't they great? But this time he felt like he needed some exercise and he was bored anyways so why not have a trek and buy some stuff, he thought.

And as expected, the top priority and his first destination was nothing other than Mangas, after a few minutes of just grabbing whatever shounen he could think of Shiki walked out of the store, and headed to get some food next where he spent an eternity, this man here is very picky with food you see.

"Over here!" Hana ran ahead of them, stopping to wave her arms back a them to signal that they are close to their destination. It's been a month since she's adopted Pr❤ism, the Labrador. She's grown significantly, but she was still a cute little puppy. Pr❤ism's dog house which was in her large room was hand crafted by her own father's bare hands. The Espoirs actually do not own many tools for handy work because Dad-san is like a swiss army knife.

"Here! Here!" Hana decided to call THEM over again.

Neo walked over to where Hana ran off too inside the shopping district. "So this is where the dog food is then?" Neo asked Hana while looking around. He walked up to Hana and started looking at all the different food and then it happened, his stomach growled. "Im starting to get hungry myself, but I dont think I can eat dog food" Neo said.

Queen Yugure, though not having immediately left with them, still caught up to the group. She was rather found of Pr❤ism, but thinks her sword-eyes may scare the poor thing a lot by accident. Hearing Neo's stomach along with the notion that he can't he dog food, Yukino jested: "No harm in giving it a try, I've seen father do it, and he somewhat enjoyed it."

The sad part is Dad Espoir actually did say that.

Walking next to Hana at night was quite peaceful. It was quite cold, but it was still workable. Hana ran ahead, presumably signalling that they were near the end of their walk. Following after her, she made it to the shop. Neo was there as well, staring at the food, as if he wanted to eat it.

'Um, I don't think you should eat dog food Isamu, unless you are part dog that is. I mean, if you are really that hungry, wouldn't scraps on the ground be better?'

She looked at some of the dog food herself. Shrugging, she walked a bit, but then noticed that Yukino had caught up. 'Oh, I didn't notice you with us Yukino. Where did the footsto- I mean where did Haruka and Geodude go?' She hadn't really spoken much to Yukino in ages, quite a shame really.

"Uh, no thanks. I can manage" Neo said. Neo had noticed Yukino had followed the group to the district. Right then and there Neo walked up to Yukino and asked her what he had in his mind. "Yukino I have a question, do you know anything about clans disappearing and being replaced with different ones?" Neo asked. "I still doubt myself using Narukami all of my life.. I feel like it was switched with my old deck which I cant remember"

Post by: Cherry on August 19, 2015, 04:33:09 AM
"Haruka and Satoshi are getting ready to head over to the manor, spending the night", Yugure explained to Miyuki the whereabouts of the "footstools". Honestly, she was on the fence about that jeer, because it reminded her of how she would've treated them had she not changed. A queen and her grunts would've been the relationship they had, if they would've had one at all. ... Then again, having two spare footrests didn't sound that bad-

No, bad Yukino.

With a disapproving, shaking head, another nervous chuckle came out of her mouth. Lips quickly curled into a smile toward Miyuki, knowing that they haven't really bonded, despite knowing each other through Hana. Yukino wanted to at least make it clear that she cared about her.

Yugure was cut off by Neo's inquiry, however. Of course, one linked to Cray would have the most knowledge involving the vanishing clans. But she still felt like she knew as much about it as someone who didn't know a damn thing. All the woman can remember about the clan banishment is that... horrifying gravity beast. Still, lying to him doesn't do anything. "I have some ideas, but I'm still trying to piece it together", was better than revealing everything about the situation though. Better to let Neo focus on his "mission", going through his life with Narukami for the time being. Telling him everything either brings panic or an aspiration of heroism. Neither would be pleasant, mostly because the latter could end up a disaster if the Rift is involved.

"You too huh?" Neo replied. That seems to be everyones answer. "It at least answers the question of why everyone acted strange today" Neo said to himself outloud again without realizing it. They were using their so called "clans" because the clans they normally use was gone. Its starting to piece itself together. Only person who wasnt shocked was Hazama. Although he brings up more questions. "If Narukami is a clan everyone else doesnt know about, then how does he know about it?" I asked myself. I should have been thankful I have a clan to use. Its back to the task at hand! To find my missing parents and why they disappeared. "But I know, I have to improve with Narukami first. More like learning it on the go" Neo said. "I wonder whats taking Hana so long just to buy dog food" Neo said. Not that im in a rush or anything. You guys seem like good people to me in my book.

"Ighanna to the rescue!!!! YEEHAWW" yelled Ighanna with her face outside of the speeding car rear windows. Chauffeur-san then made an elegant drift #360noscope and then parked right in front of the Dog House. She noticed the same group of people standing out in the cold, hearing growling of stomachs. Ighanna invited all of them to take a ride on her car, offering to send Hana, Yukino and her friends to the Espoir Mansion meanwhile sending the rest to wherever they want. She heard a slight mentioning of lost clans however as of now she wants as little people as possible to know about it, she emphasized with Yukino thinking she'll probably think the same.

Hana doesn't quite understand how VermillionMan is so prepared for fights but is not at all prepared food. She was thinking of maybe inviting him for dinner, and also considering trying to buy his table from him. Right, that table is great. Ah, the dog food. Hana quickly ran into the store and made her purchase. With Neo's words in her mind, she considered taking a detour just for as a safety measure.

"Hello, sorry I took so long! Neo, I also bought extra food for you, its dog food though!" Hana chuckled.

Yugure watched Ighanna's limousine pull off some crazy stunt to drift in and park. A drop of sweat rolled down the side of her head, unsure which was worse: the driver or Ighanna's enthusiasm over it. Father, what kind of friends have you been making?! A mental inquiry over daddy's "work friends", as this woman's dad had to be quite something if she was like this herself. Taking a few moments to regain her composure, she honestly felt bad for not being more direct with Neo. The vanishing clan problem, however, is probably best left to themselves until they work out the cause. The heroes were locked away, did that have some significance to entire clans?

At least Royals and Shadows were getting along because of this alliance under the Gold Paladin banner.

Finally, Hana popped out of the store. Hearing the notion of buying the extra dog food for Neo just made the queen burst into laughter.

Hana didn't expect him to actually eat the food. In reality, she actually bough the extra food since Pr❤ism has been growing and may need to be fed more than her usual servings. Hana shrugged and let out a relaxed smile. "If every trip to the store is like this then I wouldn't mind another trip I guess,"she said to herself. Iguana-chan seems to have broken twenty-one traffic laws in one drift. Her Limo was now parked in front of the pet store, most likely, illegally, make that twenty-two.

"Good grief"

Some time has passed since he set foot in the Hoshiko Shopping District. His light teal eyes were looking around, aimlessly as usual. His composure was calm and relaxed. He seemed to be enjoying his detour. He continued to walk down further down. As he brushed past a few groups of people, the small gentle breeze brushed through his hair: in a lightly butter-like blonde in the front and a pitch-black to the back. Street after street, stop light after stop light, corner after corner, he finally came to a stop: a small bench.

"Eh I guess I can rest here." he said with a sigh, shutting his eyes, as he threw himself on the bench, dropping his backpack. He threw his feet into the air and planted them on the handle of the bench as his arms folded back, hands cupped and safely tucked behind his head. The tree blocked out the harsh sun providing a familiar shade to blanket him. His eyes peaked once more, before shutting them tight as he rested peacefully for the first time.

"I wonder how they're all doing... after being away for so long." he thought to himself with a gentle smile on his face.

Ighanna arrives at the shopping district again despite coming here already yesterday. Apparently there was a new Victoria's Secret shop opening here so she was invited as a premium guest. Dressed perfectly flashy and trendy, everyone around seems to recognize her perfectly, different from when she wore her disguise. With waves of people pushing forwards, she had to sign signatures and take selfies meanwhile the guards pushed the commoners back. The road was quite blocked with this many people around so her chauffeur couldn't get in and there would probably be some more celebrities coming in so she sent her chauffeur off.

Suddenly Metatron noticed a weird presence coming from opposite the Victoria Secret store and so she quickly dived under the crowd and crawled out without anyone noticing until she saw a bench underneath a single tree. There was a person with blonde hair lying on the bench with his bag on the floor, smiling eerily. She didn't know whether he was awake or not so she took out her phone to take a picture of him. With that she should be able to ask her father's friend in the Pentagon to find out who he was but what if he sees Ighanna taking a picture of him. She then closed her eyes and is about to press the shutter button with her hands shaking, scared that he would wake up to see her suspiciously taking a picture of him.

Jellal continued to rest as he thought back to everything that happened the last time he was here. The people he's come in contact with, the battles he's fought, and the decisions he's made: both good and bad. They were experiences that kept replaying in his head however his only response was: "It was worth it." A sudden breeze blew past him again, rustling the tree leaves. The wind had shivered his whole body, feeling chilly and cold. It was appropriate considering how he used to be or... well how he normally is. He welcomed it. Then, something landed on his face. Disturbed, he opened his eyes slightly to see it was one of the leaves of the tree positioned at the tip of his nose: moving like a compass needle. He took his hand and slowly picked off the leaf and examined it. Something caught his eye: he turned his head upward seeing that someone suspicious was there, waiting for him holding something.

"I wonder who it is." He thought to himself as he slowly reached for his backpack. His hand explored the contents of the bag for a good minute as his eyes were trailing off. "Ah!" he said to himself as he retrieved the object he was looking for. It was a blue deck case. For a minute, his smile expanded in width, but only for a split second. He put the case in his pocket as he rose from the bench and stared into the direction where the person was at. He was cautious as ever though, however, he didn't feel anything 'sinister' about it. He patiently waited for a moment while collecting his stuff, before approaching the curious individual.

As the person approached her, she realized that his face was quite nostalgic, she thought about it for a while before Hana's words echoed in her ear "Jello". However she wasn't unsure whether he knew her or not but the fact that he was holding a blue box made her astounded by the fact that he was a fighter. Last time she blended in with the crowd, she saw Jello using what was it again? Shadow Paladin yes, the forgotten clan. Curious of what he would use she approached her but introductions first, after all there wa still time before the shop opening.

"Hello, my name is Ighanna R. Colberg, I suppose you are Jello? I heard about you from Hana and Yukino so don't be surprised haha, I saw you fighting at the Umano Slums. I see you're holding what I suppose is a Vanguard deck, do you mind having a quick fight?" Asked Ighanna as she introduced herself with familiarity.

Jellal's approach came to a halt as he heard Ighanna's introduction. Her mention of being familiar with the Espoir's put his mind to ease but gave him a sense of curiousity, although, he still didn't know who she was.

"Ighanna R Colberg huh?" he said leisurely. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance, although, you already seem to know me." he followed with a gentle smile. He was surprised to be asked for a card fight right off the bat. He thought about it for a while, but he wasn't doing anything nor was he particularly waiting for anything, he was just resting. He turned to the side, looking down the street, as a car flew by with the strong gust going through both of them.

"Hm, sure." He said turning back at Iganna. "It'd be my first fight back here, so I really don't mind." This was true: no one has seen him fight here in over two months after his fateful fight with Yukino: where even though he won the fight, the war was a victory both fighters shared over Phantom Blaster Overlord.

"Lead the way." he said to Iganna. "I'm not sure if everything is still the same here or not, but..." he smiled with a faint chuckle.

Ighanna leads Jello to a nearby bench area where they are now far from the sight of her fans. She guessed that with this, there's gonna be a lot more peace to cardfight. Ighanna recalls Jello's fight with Yukino and imagines how strong he is, despite herself not remembering what Jello played, Metatron clued that it must have been either one of the four lost clans. Interested to see what Jello would play they both place down their first vanguards facedown, she was pretty excited as she also used a new clan, Angel Feathers it was. A thought about Jello's name crossed her mind, Hana seems to have weird nicknames for everyone so she wasn't sure if that was his actual name.

"Ighanna, lets do this!" Metatron said in an energetic voice to her, making her forget all about what she was thinking before.

"Stand up, Vanguard!" The battle commences.

Post by: Kisaragi Zane on August 20, 2015, 06:18:30 AM
Their fight began, Jellal unveiled his destined clan: The Aqua Force. There he was challenged by Angel Feather, a new clan he had never seen before. He pondered if they were sealed just like the Aqua Force, but was too excited about his fight. Jellal's introductory to the clan wasn't exactly what he had in mind: unable to ride to Grade 3 for a turn (even with Erikk's skill) and riding Diamantes (much to his annoyance) but still had fun despite his defeat. He slowly collected his cards and smiled: something that has never happened before, especially while wielding Shadow Paladin.

"Well, I must take my leave then." He said while slowly waving his hand at Iganna. "Thanks for the fight, but I'll be back next time stronger." he promised as he slowly walked off to his backpack. Before he made his exit, he stopped and looked back at the Angel Feather player.

"By the way..." he said slowly. "You called me 'Jello' right?" thinking back to her affiliation with the Espoirs: 'Jello' a name he received by Hana Espoir, much to his chargin had apparently been spread during his time gone. His expression turned into a happy/embarrassed/annoyed looked his eyes closed yet twitching, smile being half forced, and eyebrows pointed in.

"My name's Jellal Kisaragi." he corrected before making his exit. "Now I have to deal with Hana... eventually..." he said under his breath as the wind carried him to his next destination.

Kurai attempted to keep a low profile whilst slowly making his way through the Hoshiko Shopping District. After the Incident from yesterday that he somehow caused at Shop Handsome, he decided after a night's sleep that it would be the best course of action. His thought's track back slightly and he remembers not how the Incident came about, but remembered it's conclusion. He had defeated Neo in a cardfight, that was the only certain fact he had about the incident.

A slight gust of wind blew, causing Kurai's red scarf to fluster slightly. The refreshing breeze gently slithered across his face, causing him to relax and become less tense. He approached one of the market stands, it was selling Vanguard cards. A certain card caught his eye's by a glimpse, "How much for this particular card?" he asked whilst looking at a particular card.

As he walked through the shopping district, Haruki recalled the events of yesterday. An old friend, Kurai, had a noticeable mysterious personality that changed often. Neo, a new individual, had battled with Kurai and fallen ill soon afterwards, possibly from the fight? And Hazama, a fighter that always seemed to be in a bad mood, had some good in his heart as he helped Neo, although his sense of justice still seemed twisted.

One thing that interested Haruki the most however, was a new ability called Limit Break. He'd never seen this in his training for justice, so he took it upon himself to research the topic overnight. A power that could break the limits and lift a fighter to even greater heights than ever imagined. The young man thought that with this skill in his grasp, his justice would be stronger than ever before.

As he continued to observe the various shops, Haruki noticed Kurai was in the area too. It appeared that he was looking for items to purchase. Perhaps he could help the man, for justice, and learn about him some as well. Haruki went over to say hello.

"Morning Kurai, anything you're looking to buy?"

Kurai heard Haruki's voice and imminently hid the small brown teddy bear from sight. He let out a sigh of relief. He had left to have breakfast and asked the store keeper to keep that card in reserve for him. On his way back he had spotted the small and cute brown teddy bear, eventually settling on buying it.

He gave the shopkeeper money and in exchanged received a few cards he requested to be reserved. "Thank You, my good sir." He turned towards Haruki. "Oh. Morning...., yeah I've just bought them now, a set of cards, In fact it seems some are Dimension Police, want them?" he said to Haruki " Some... Dimensional Robo cards."

Post by: Kuro on August 20, 2015, 02:30:15 PM
"A gift for me?" Haruki was surprised that Kurai was being so generous as to give him some of the cards he'd only just received. "I just can't accept these without giving something in return. Let me see..."

Haruki reached into his bag to search for a gift he could exchange with Kurai's. He was a bit worried that he didn't have anything, but then he spotted it. A small model car he'd found in a bird's nest so long ago.

"It's not much, but hopefully you can accept this," the young man of justice said, as he held out the present to Kurai and smiled.

"Very well, if you insist." Kurai took the car and put it in his pocket. "Well then, have you gotten any better since our last encounter?" He assumed the last time they encountered it was at the lamppost outside his house;he had forgotten that Haruki was apart of the Incident at Shop Handsome.

"I've definitely learned from our last fight Kurai. I'll fight even more to make sure my justice prevails!" He put the cards he'd just received away and took out his deck of justice.

"I'm ready when you are!" Haruki said with determination.

"What could a King of such injustice be doing with the Dimension police clan?"

"Zeal... is the beast of injustice"

Haruki had lost once again to Kurai and had asked how he knew about limit break. Kurai explained the battle he had at the underground with the Underground king. He had explained how he experienced the negative power of the Dimension Police and it's limit break. Lowering the power of the opposing vanguard and enabling even triggers to defeat you. Kurai decided it was best to leave out the end resulting in him waking up in a hospital bed.

"Every shadow has a light that erases it... perhaps you will be able to find that card, the Justice that surpasses Zeal and become Stronger" Kurai said whilst collecting up his cards

Post by: Kuro on August 20, 2015, 04:34:45 PM
The two fought with great power, but Haruki was no match for Kurai's Limit Break. The question had been on his mind for so long, the young man had to ask where this skill came from in the first place. Kurai explained his version of how he first discovered the skill, two months ago. Haruki noticed this was about the same time he left to train under justice.

Kurai's story was intense, one where he journeyed to the slums to fight against the Underground King. The sinister ruler had used the Galactic Beast, Zeal of the Dimension Police clan to defeat Kurai. That was his first encounter with limit break.

"What could a King of such injustice be doing with the Dimension Police clan?" Haruki asked in disbelief.

"Zeal... is the beast of injustice." Kurai responded in a serious tone. "Every shadow has a light that erases it... perhaps you will be able to find that card, the Justice that surpasses Zeal and become stronger." The two proceeded to collect their cards.

"Hey Kurai, where are you headed to next? I think I could learn more about this ability if I stick with you."

Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on August 20, 2015, 05:03:16 PM
Kurai finished up collecting his cards. [So, he want's to tag along? Must avoid that situation at all costs...] He raised his hand to indicate a stop sign. "Apologises, but I'm afraid that cannot happen... You must evolve on your own, otherwise you will fall into a void of nothingness and be unable to escape it's clutches as it consumes you." What Kurai spoke was true, if Haruki decided to accompany him, he would not grow as an individual and the void that would be created by the gap in power would consume him and turn his justice corrupt, with a pure focus of becoming strong. He glanced at his deck for a brief second.

Kurai grabbed the bag with the brown teddy-bear inside and prepared to leave. "Next time we meet, I hope you have the answer's you were searching for, Haruki Yahagi" With Kurai's parting statement, he left with his belonging's that he had purchased, losing Haruki in the crowd during the process. [It's the only way... you'll be able to surpass me] That thought darted into his mind moments before he left the Hoshinko Shopping District completely.

Kurai declined Haruki's request to go together, explaining that the young man of justice needed to grow on his own, or he would turn to darkness. These words of wisdom were important to Haruki, despite him not completely understanding what they meant. Nevertheless, Kurai proceeded to exit through the crowd with a parting statement, "Next time we meet, I hope you have the answers you were searching for, Haruki Yahagi."

Haruki finished collecting his cards, then looked at the ones Kurai had gifted him with.

"Dimensional Robos, huh. Using the same justice that my Daiyusha has.." The young man of justice left the shopping district while thinking about what he could change to add this new justice to his deck.

"Right so this is the place it seems." She looked up at the sign and nodded. It definitely was a fish ball place all right, not that she knew because she can read the sign but actually because she smelled fish balls. She decided that she may as well thank them somehow so she turned to them while opening the door as she entered the restaurant.

A very nice person, being so kind as to invite Haruki and Neo to eat. But as per usual, Haruki's justice could not allow him to take something without giving a gift in return.

"It'd be great to eat here, thank you for the offer, but I can't take such gratitude from someone I just met without giving something in return." Haruki searched through his bag for something that a girl would like, until he found it. A ring, one he'd found in the park long ago. He put his hand out holding the ring. "Please, accept this as my thanks."

She accepted the ring from the boy, blushing a little as it was quite sweet, especially since she is 23 and single, living alone in an apartment in Hoshiko. Upon entering the restaurant, she was led to a table for three. She sat on one side and invited the two to sit on the other. She picked up the menu and opened the booklet. She pretended to read it because she really didn't understand what it said.

She placed the menu down and raised her hand, "Three servings of Fish Balls!"

Post by: Kuro on August 21, 2015, 01:48:16 AM
Fish balls sounded like a good meal, something good to eat even if it was late at night. Haruki sat beside Neo with the woman on the other side. Come to think of it, they hadn't gotten her name yet. It'd be a good start to the conversation while they ate anyway.

"I never did get your name, did I?" he asked the woman out of curiousity, as their food was soon placed on the table.

As they waited for the order, it seemed like it didn't hurt to spark some little conversation and seems like both of them had already got ahead of what she was thinking. Her name would make it extremely obvious that she's not from around here, but she really didn't care.

"My name, is Neu Edelweiss." She gave off a faint smile, with the dim lights in the restaurant giving a bright shine on her face and reflecting off of her beautiful orange eyes. She turned to grab the soy sauce from the corner of the table and started playing with the container. "Right, so now I've introduced myself, what your names?"

"You want to know who I am?" Haruki was always prepared for this moment, for someone to ask his name. However, in this restaurant it wouldn't be polite to stand up in the middle of their eating to strike a pose. He decided to answer casually.

"My name is Haruki, Haruki Yahagi. A pleasure to meet you," the young man said with a smile. "Where are you from Neu? It seems like your not familiar with the local area."

After they both introduced themselves, the food had arrived. Neu had been waiting for this, a darling revelation from the angels was what the plate that was put before her. It was a gift, a blessing, she was very hungry. She the chopsticks from the table and started stabbing the fish balls because she didn't know how to use chopsticks. Nonetheless, she ate very quickly.

"I play Cardfight Vanguard" Neo replied.

Neo had a surprisingly meaningful backstory as to why he played vanguard for a living, and Haruki respected him for his justice. He followed up Neo's answer by giving his own.

"I'm a student at the local high school. We've been on summer break for now, and I've recently undergone training in Vanguard myself, to fight for the justice that is my clan." Haruki's response likely wasn't as great as Neo's, but now it was Neu's turn.

"What about you? You must do something really special if you're able to come here all the way from America." The young man gave thanks and started to eat after asking.

Vanguard huh... now this got interesting. The waiter had just cleared the table, meals finished, though she was still chewing in her last bit of footballs.

"Right so mommy and daddy are gone, and you think Vanguard could bring them back? This card game?" Neu chuckled a little, almost choking on the fish balls. Inside, she actually found this interesting, almost respectable. The laugh was just to mess with him. Neu thought that he seemed to have a pure enough motive, maybe she would be able to help, but she needed a way to convince him.

As for the other guy.

"You train to what? Become strong for justice?.... Well I mean, don't you think that the very existence of strength is something that's waiting to cause injustice to happen? Everyone should just enjoy Vanguard, don't 'cha think? I mean that's what I want to spread around to everyone is all I guess." She shrugged.

"Well, I mean I play Vanguard too. I mean, I think I might be able to help both of you, but I'll have to see first." She pulled out a deck from one of her side pockets and showed them. "Right this is my deck, I'll have to show you an image to convince you that I'm serious when I say this, but in return you need to give me a fun time while we play alright?"

"Neo, let's have a game." She challenged the one whom answered her first.

She took out her starting vanguard and placed it face down on the table. "A fun game. That's all we gotta have right?" she smiled.

The girl made a good point to Haruki. Perhaps sharing the fun of Vanguard with others was a form of justice in itself. Soon enough, she and Neo began a cardfight at the table, with Neu explaining that she might be able to help both Neo and Haruki. The young man of justice wondered what she meant by this, as he watched the fight unfold in the mid of night

Post by: Hope on August 21, 2015, 03:12:30 AM
Neu prepared herself for another fun game. "Let's try this one, Kagero.." she thought to herself.

"Red Pulse Dracokid." she said as she flipped over her starting Vanguard.

Neo who was using Narukami seemed quite surprised. She laughed a little at the coincidence. "This is going to be fun especially if he has that card..." The boy delivered, riding Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion, and activating its Vermillion Thunderbolt. A great spectacle, she enjoyed the fight. Unfortunately for her, Kagero was unable to call back the rearguards that were taken out by Vermillion. Nonetheless, she enjoyed playing with Neo, making him take out and bring back his rearguards with Dragonic Lawkeeper.

"Fun isn't it?" She smiled, reveling in the powerful image.

He was panting for some reason.
"Why do you seem so tired? Hopefully you didn't strain yourself there."

She had lost, but she felt something more powerful from the fight, exactly what she wanted. She placed her cards, organizing them back into their deck box.

"Now then, I showed you my Vanguard. Do you believe that I will be able to help, this is a question to both of you. Your goals aren't that far away and you both should try going for them while you're still young!" She said while the waiter placed the check onto their table.

Post by: NeoBuster on August 21, 2015, 03:20:59 AM
Getting all caught up in the moment of the cardfight, Neo had won the game but Neu was playing to have fun.

"Sorry, I got all caught up in the moment" Neo said feeling bad

"New just wanted to have fun and I played serious.." Neo said to himself

Neo then had a flashback to something Yukino said to him a few days ago" I hope you continue to have fun playing Vanguard and not lose the meaning of playing the game" It was at this very moment Neo realized he broke that promise.

"I was so focused on my mission, i lost track of the fun in front of me" Neo said

But something bugged him, "How does Neu have Kagero" Neo said

Neo then held his head in pain as he was having blurry flashbacks of him using Kagero.

"Thank you again for the Cardfight Neu" Neo said. "I hope we can cardfight again soon"

She took out a hundred dollar bill from her pocket and placed it on top of the check. The worker was surprised at the sight, most likely because she didn't convert her money.

"Oh right, I forgot.. huh.... just keep the change." Upon that statement, the waiter took the cash and ran off.

She turned back towards Neo and Haruki. "Right, you guys I think I can help you both out with something." She leaned back on her chair and started playing around with it a little, then she began to speak again.

"You guys have fun playing Vanguard, right? I mean, right? Right? Basically I can help you guys out. Really simple, just play a bunch of games and have fun! I want you guys to go out and show the world how great it is to just relax, why strength really doesn't matter when it comes to this game!" She got back up and put her hands on the table now, leading a little towards them and smiling.

"See! Justice and all is just, showing the strong why there's no need for strength! The bully asking you if you're a strong fighter? Wierdo in the neighborhood telling you to show them your power? Who cares! Just enjoy the game and tell them this. Show them this. Just promise me that you'll have fun and share it with others, the rest will come to you guys!" With this, if they were to promise, Neu would really be able to help them.

She stuck out her pinky. "Is that, a pinky promise?" she asked.

Post by: Kuro on August 21, 2015, 03:34:27 AM
The fight was incredible, Neo with the thunder dragons of Narukami, and Neu with the flame dragons of Kagero. This was a legendary clan, one that Haruki had never even seen in action before. He was glad that he was lucky enough to be able to watch this clan of myth in a real fight. The fight was fun the whole way through, and Neo even managed to win against Neu.

After the fight, Neu told the two she believed she could help them achieve their goals. A fighter of such mystery, she was first found by him in a construction site, and continued to surprise Haruki by inviting him and Neo to a meal, even using a legendary clan in her fight. There was still much Haruki didn't completely understand about her, but he believed she was someone with justice in her heart. Showing the fun of Vanguard to others could be a great way to share his justice.

"It's an interesting position, but after all that's happened, I don't see why not. If you say having fun can help us work towards our goals, I'll trust you." Haruki held out his hand to link with Neu's pinky.

With these promises, Neu had the intention to collect the strength they had given her to make their wishes become a reality. She closed her eyes and smiled a little, "Thank you both of you."

A small dimensional rift opened up behind her, of course, they would have a hard time seeing this as it was only visible to Neu, but they would be certainly able to feel such a strong presence. She muttered under her breath, "The pact. Is sealed." With that, the rift quickly disappeared. She released the pinky promise, still grinning out of her overflowing happiness.

"Right here," she gave them a both a napkin and wrote her phone number on both of them. "If you ever need any help, just call me and all, so we can reach each other. Or even just for a fun game of right. As for helping you both out... my side of the promise is that I will do something to make your dreams come true... so I'll really do my best alright?"

Haruki was mystified by the force he felt while making his pinky promise with Neu. The strong force disappeared as the two released their linked fingers, and Neu smiled in gratitude. At the end of the night, she gave the two her number to call if they felt the need to, and said that she'd do her best to fulfill their dreams.

"You don't have to work so much for our goals. I'd be happy to work for my own accomplishments, but if you really want to help, that would be really nice of you. I'll have to take my leave as it's quite late, but thanks for everything Neu. I really appreciate what you're doing for us." Haruki thought about how lost Neu got before. "If you need anymore help finding your way around here, you can call me or Neo. We'd be happy to help."

He smiled and parted ways with his friends as he headed home with a new outlook on justice.

She quickly headed to a shop in the shopping district. Depite offering to go with Haruka to the Mansion, she'd remembered that she had to get something first, and told him to go on ahead. She went into the nearest food store, and bought food for the week. She wasn't sure exactly where she'd be the next few days, but there was no harm in being prepared. On her way out she noticed some dog food.

'Hmmm maybe I should buy a small bit of dog food as well?' She thought. 'Neo had seemed to enjoy it, so why not'. Buying it, she went on her way, hurrying to her house before heading to the Espoir mansion.

Neu was eating a barbecue stick while leaning on her car.  She wore a gown white gown along with black frills. Her long black hair was moving along with the wind and her face was smooth, completed by her deep orange eyes. She was a beauty, looking like a goddess among the crowd of people who were just no match for her looks among the shopping district area. Ironically she was the one that was looking at guys as they passed by.

"He's ... ok."
"Hello!! Notice me hello how are you!"
"NOPE."
"Oh. Alright."
"Mmmm...."

She continued eating, nonchalant per usual and continuing to do whatever was killing time for her at the current moment. It was her fifth barbecue stick, and a thought came to her mind, "shoot my parents are going to scold me for this... " But she continued eating.

Satoshi sat by the fountain, eyes constantly wandering, looking for someone out of the ordinary. With a name like Neu Edelweiss, she had to stick out, right? He nibbled a bit on a barbecue stick he had bought a while back, though it was cooled off and rather bland, if he was being honest. It made him miss grilling at home. Maybe he'd see if the Espoirs had an outdoor barbecue and put the old Kurosaki touch on it.

He noticed a girl leaning on a car that seemed a bit out of the ordinary looking out at guys, seeming to size them up as though she were trying to find a date. A bit odd; she had a pretty nice figure. It was strange that these guys were flat out ignoring her.

...Wait, could it be possible that this was Neu Edelweiss? It couldn't be. It didn't feel like she was. All the same, he felt the need to approach her, at least for curiosity's sake.

"G'afternoon. Nice day, isn't it?"

"Finally, a guy!" She thought to herself, "but... ehh he looks ok.. something about him...."

Neu looked at his shoes and his face. She thought that he looked pretty alright, sure. Then again she just had a feeling that she would just flat out have something with him that would just be such a  turn off. She finished her next barbecue stick along with his greeting and but the stick back in the bag which she got it from. May as well greet him back since he went through this trouble.

"Yeah, pretty decent, it'd be nice if some guy would take to that amusement park that just opened up though," she continued looking around at the other men that passed by.

"Hm...the amusement park?" Satoshi thought this over. He had been there yesterday with everyone else, and it was kind of weird that this girl was looking for a date at that place that was more than likely a dump considering how people treated it yesterday. Trash everywhere...likely rats fighting for the crumbs. He hated rats.

But at the same time...something felt reasonable about this request. Even if this girl had a chance of being exactly who he was looking for...it felt like it was worth spending time with her, at least to try and understand her a little more. He gave a small smile and said, "If you'd like, I'll take you. I was there yesterday with some friends and it was a pretty good time."

She continued looking around for other guys. She sighed a little, this guy wasn't that bad but not exactly the prince charming who she was hoping for. Neu reached for her car keys in her purse and opened the door. She proceeded to enter her car, still on the lookout for any one else who may be interested, and then she closed the door. She started up the engine and rolled down her windows.

"Man I guess we can go or something." She looked at him, somewhat disappointed, "get in."

He felt like there was something about that which should be insulting, but it occurred to him that he was a stranger to her treating her like a casual friend already. Yukino and Haruka had kind of forced that habit on him as of late, so it was kind of difficult to do the same things with people who hardly knew you. Especially if you have the impression that the person who hardly knows you messed with your friends and all of Cray.

Even so...he kind of felt bad. This was quite an opportunity. Seph had tried to warn him the night before about doing something too stupid, like mistaking a trip to some place for having good intentions, but this was Satoshi's mission. He wanted to do it for his friends, for Cray...for Seph. He had to know more.

He got in the car. It was a pretty nice car, considering the number of cars he had actually been in. Definitely nicer than his parents' truck. Getting as comfortable as he could in the seat, he turned his head to her.

"My name's Satoshi Kurosaki, by the way. It's nice to meet you...er..."

"Neu Edelweiss."

She floored the gas pedal, accelerating to 100 MPH and drove on the sidewalk.

Hana received had gotten the reply from Mi-hime saying that she would come over to the Shopping District, so Hana texted her address to where she should go. It was a long day of fighting, but Hana feels much better about her skills and bond with the clans. They're tired, and she's tired, so there's no better way than to unwind with Miyuki. She stood in from the restaurant in anticipation for her friend's arrival. To pass time she looked through her Angel Feather deck.

"Nociel-chan, are you feeling alright?" She asked in worried voice.
"Yeah... Hana-chan... I'm just... tired... you guarded with me too much.. ow." Nociel's voice was light, as if she was half asleep.

It took a bit, but she made it to the shopping district. The walk from the forest had indeed woken her up, and she hoped that she didn't look tired. She double checked the address that Hana had sent her, and headed towards there. After a small walk, she made it to the meet up place.

'Hiii Hana' she said, and waved to her. 'How are you today?'
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on August 24, 2015, 01:20:05 AM
"I'm fine, just a little tired is all... like you probably... haha," it was obvious to Hana that she was tired, mostly because the forest is actually a long walk from the shopping district. Anyone would be tired from that.

Hana put her arms around Mi-hime and pulled her close to support her weight while walking. Also because she was tired too, so may as well. The place that Hana had chosen was actually a very popular diner. Nobody knows what this restaurant is actually themed after, some say its after a legendary Vanguard unit. It was "Gordon's Diner," a massive restaurant with menus burgers, steak, fries, pizza, salads, and everything else in between. Nothing beats their daily Especial! Hana's personal favorite was their "Mild Chicken Wingals," and at times their, "Spice Chicken Wingal Brave." Of course, for the truly daring, was the "Palamedes" meal which is said to be "Explosive Flames" to one's taste buds. Today, Hana wanted to try something different, she wanted to try the "King" sized "Alfred" meal which was usually for adults. Hana would actually usually order the "Alfred Early" meal, which was the same thing, but with portions for kids. She figured she may as well just share with Mi-hime. For desert, the restaurant had a promo "Vanilla Blaster Blade" as well as "Chocolate Blaster Dark," though what Hana will order for her and Mi-hime today will be the combination of both, the "Majesty Lord Banana Split." Yum!

Post by: Crystalia on August 24, 2015, 01:37:47 AM
They entered the restaurant together, and sat down. Hana had just started to look through the menu when she got a text from Yukino, asking where she was. Hana replied while Miyuki looked through the menu as well. Most of the meals seemed to have 'interesting' names, rather odd ones at that.

Hana finished texting, and said that she was considering sharing the King sized Alfred meal. 'Sure' she said, she didn't really have a preferance, so why not share with Hana.

'Oh yeah, you said you were training today right? Where were you training?' She hadn't seen Hana all day, although she couldn't deny the possibility that she'd walked by her when she was going to the forest, Miyuki hadn't really been paying much attention to where she was going. She sat back, enjoying how comfortable the seats in here were, at least compared to a tree in the forest.

Post by: Hope on August 24, 2015, 01:46:53 AM
She had placed her order and returned the menu back to the waiter. She sat back a relaxed, and started playing with the salt.

"I trained over with a bunch of other friends," she smiled, holding the "where" back just to keep Mi-hime from worrying. The people in the slums weren't actually bad, they just played Vanguard, sometimes cheated, but they were still lots of fun. They had their weird fights which shock and hurt people, but its not like Hana was ever actually dragged into that. All in all it was a great day, and Hana made her mark there as their princess.

"How about you Mi-hime? You seem rather tired? Where have you been?"

Post by: Crystalia on August 24, 2015, 02:17:52 AM
'Well, I was walking around the park for a bit, and then had a fight with Cero in the forest. He was a bit down, but luckily he seemed to be 'back to normal after the right'. She noticed that Hana wasn't telling her where exactly she'd been, but she shrugged, and didn't question exactly where. As long as Hana had had fun, it was alright.

They talked a bit more, over random things. Hana got another text from Yukino as well. Then eventually, the food arrived. 'Whoa, this is definetly a big meal' she said. 'Is this meal normally for 2 or?' Apparently Yukino might come over in a bit, that'd be interesting.

Post by: Hope on August 24, 2015, 02:21:58 AM
"A meal for two?" Hana laughed at the thought, a little bit in fear. "N-no... it's a usual adult meal. It's a lot but dad-san usually has to get like nine of these to become full..."

Hana handed Mi-hime some eating utensils. "Well, I think this is enough for the two of us right?" She smiled, blushing a little over the thought of sharing a meal with Mi-hime. She also pointed at a featured dessert over at the table side advertisements, "We're also getting this dessert, a banana split."

Hana started to dig in and invited Mi-hime to do the same.

Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Crystalia on August 24, 2015, 02:34:39 AM
'Oh so it's just a reasonably large adult meal.' She could indeed see Mr. Espoir downing nine of these thought, the man was like a lion. 'And yeah, I think that this'll be enough for the two of us.' Following Hana's lead, she started to eat. Although she was hardly a food expert, she enjoyed the food a lot. Sharing the meal with Hana had indeed been the right choice however, as she doubted that she could have finished it on her own. Particularly not if Hana also wanted to have dessert after this.

Towards the end of the meal, it suddenly occured to her that Hana must have woken up and seen her not there. 'I'm sorry about this morning by the way, I woke up early, and didn't let you know where I was'. Normally this wouldn't really matter, but with how Hana had been feeling, she felt a little bad for leaving her completely in the dark. 'As long as you had fun practicing though, it's alright I guess'. She took another pause to look at Hana, to check if she was indeed alright, as she had been tired on the way here and might have missed something.

Post by: Hope on August 24, 2015, 02:43:49 AM
"Yeah, it's alright...." She turned to Mi-hime.

You're the only person that I don't blame for anything.

She smiled at her and put her arms around her, giving her a hug. "Don't sweat it. You fell asleep first so you obviously woke up first!" She gave Mi-hime a thumbs up and continued eating. "So you fought Cero right?" Hana said with her mouth still full, ""In the woods?...." Hana became a bit worried that he might have tried to hurt Mi-hime. "Did he do anything bad to you?" She asked, "Has he visited the hospital yet?"

Yukino entered the diner with Satoshi, and lost most of her appetite upon hearing someone bark out an order for something named "Wingal". A quiet groan was released, just baring with it until they leave. Miyuki's simple design of fashion choice was a bit hard to find, but Hana stuck out like hay in a haystack. Maybe it was just a biased viewpoint, she knew her sister. Putting on a smile, the queen and royal guard approached.

"Hey you two", giving greeting to the close friends, sitting down on the opposite side to not disturb their hug.

Post by: Crystalia on August 24, 2015, 02:55:48 AM
'No, no, he didn't do anything bad to me. I don't think he was capable of doing much in that state anyway.' She thought back to how he was before she challenged him. 'He was just moping around, depressed for some reason. Thankfully he turned back to his loud self after the fight though.'

It was just then that she realised that she had never asked what was wrong with Cero in the first place. People don't usually just become depressed like that for no reason, something must have happened. And she forgot to ask. 'Whoops' she thought. At least Hana seemed to be feeling better as well. She was still slightly worried about Yukino though.

'Oh yeah, I saw Yukino in the forest as well. She arrived just before I fought Cero, and was talking to Satoshi when I left. I wonder why she went to the forest. In fact, the forest was actually semi busy today, Neo was there as well'. With that talk, they finished the meal.

'So you wanted the um 'Majesty Lord Banana split' for dessert?' She was feeling slightly full, but hopefully she'd be able to finish that as well. And just in general, she was happy to be eating with Hana, it made her feel better.

Yukino and Satoshi entered as well, and she greeted them back. They seemed slightly tense together, although it could just have been her imagination.

Satoshi gave a little wave and sat down, ordering a drink, but saying nothing else. He didn't really have much he could think to without just causing more stress and problems.

He just sat there, sipping at his soda.

Hana had let go of Mi-hime and sat back down upon hearing her answer. She continued eating, seeing Yukinee and New Thirst-kun walk in. She looked at Yukinee, may as well ask her to eat. "Hey, are you hungry?" Hana asked.

It looks like New Thirst-kun ordered a drink. Cool.

Hana then raised her hand and asked for the desert.

Post by: Cherry on August 24, 2015, 03:27:21 AM
"Nah, looks like you guys were done anyway. Then again, I heard about Miyuki talking about dessert?"

Despite saying she'd join them for a bite, she didn't very much want said bite anymore. "Looks like you're really enjoying yourselves, in fact", Yukino continued. Yet another thing to be jealous over was how Hana seemed to be with Miyuki all the time. Then again, it can't be any better seeing as she herself was with Haruka and Satoshi all the time. Still, the princess was her sister, and the queen didn't want anyone else to be having her more.

"It's banana split," Hana answered, "you can have some if you want, though, nee-san..." Hana became silent, thinking, and considering the following paths and actions to take. What does her heart say is right? Eventually she asked a simple question, "How was your day?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cherry on August 24, 2015, 03:40:08 AM
"That's alright", Yukino started. "My day was pretty good", continuing on while giving Hana a smile that quickly turned into an inquisitive frown. Hana and Miyuki looked like they were getting along and talking quite a bit, but the princess fell quiet for a moment before asking about the day. The queen felt her heart sinking further, did she upset her...?

"Hana...?" Yugure opened her mouth, trying to ask something. But what? Ask about if she was upset? Ask about how her day was too? It felt like the ground below as lava, and Hana was isolated from the queen on a distant rock. One wrong step toward little sister, and calamity ensues. So she simply said nothing beyond name.

Post by: Hope on August 24, 2015, 03:49:22 AM
"We have to keep moving forward." Hana sighed. The desert had just arrived, Banana split with vanilla and chocolate ice cream. There were four spoons, one for each of them. She picked one up and started to take bites out of the chocolate ice cream. There wasn't much that Hana expected from her sister, especially in the state that she was in.

"My day went fine too, I guess." She let out a faint smile, "Yeah, we're getting there, Angel Feathers and I. We'll be able to save them."

Post by: Cherry on August 24, 2015, 03:54:16 AM
"Hana", Yugure finally decided on what to say after hearing so little from her sister. "If there's something you want to talk about, just tell me", a stern tone. That sigh, the almost non-existent smile, a big sister was rather fed up with not hearing what was really on mind. While happy about the bonding with Angel Feather, that was just masking what the girl actually wanted to say. That's what was believed.

Running as if he was on the track team, Neo ran as fast as he could to the district because thats where he knew Hana and her friends were. After running for a while he finally reached the district and was looking for the diner that everyone was at. After finally finding it, Neo ran through the entrance and then tripped and fell.

"Ouch" Neo said getting back up.

"Now where are they sitting at" Neo said

Post by: Hope on August 24, 2015, 04:07:39 AM
"There's no need to worry about me, nee-san." She looked at her sister in the eye, like a clash of swords. Whether what she wanted was right or wrong at this point didn't matter, she'll adjust it according to the situation, and at this point, its ways better than what her sister's been doing. The chance to talk about things had passed, only Miyuki was able to show Hana a Vanguard that she loved yesterday. For Mi-hime's sake as well, she has to get Bermuda Triangle back, and sitting around isn't going to do anything. If she isn't as strong as Cero then there's no way that she'll be able to fight for anything to return. Her dependence has now turned into independence, but with a lack of guidance, her sister basically gone when needed, and her true clan which acted as a part of conscience missing, Hana had been shooting arrows in the dark, emotions kept inside have now overflowed.

"If you want to talk about things, we can just have a cardfight later..." She continued to eat her ice cream, "are you going to have any?"

Yukino's heart broke.

The eye contact they shared wasn't one of warmth, it was like stabs for her. The woman's swords didn't strike back, they simply took the hits. Motioning Satoshi to move aside for her to get out, she spoke: "No, I won't have any. Sorry." Audibly choking back on tears, the queen stood while offering an apology, slipping out of the diner alone. Whatever Hana was thinking of her sister was probably right. Yukino Espoir was basically a dead woman walking - lost, hungry, tired, and just on a downward spiral. It was decided that it'd just be best to stay out of the way.

Not noticing Neo's presence, she walked out the door.

Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Crystalia on August 24, 2015, 04:22:44 AM
Miyuki had just sat there quietly during the sibling conversation, knowing not to intervene. She noticed however, how shattered Yukino looked at the end of it. She sighed inwardly, wishing that it had ended differently. She resolved herself to check with Haruka if she saw him later, to make sure to tell him to cheer Yukino up. She continued to eat the dessert, giving Hana another hug after Yukino walked off, letting her know that she was there for her.

Neo running over was quite a shock though. 'Hmm, Neo? What's wrong?' He was definetly out of breath, like he had been running to get here. 'In fact, how did you even find us here?' It probably didn't matter that much, but she was curious.

Neo's next words changed things slightly. 'You know where the clans are?' she echoed.

Hana watched her leave. She felt bad from what she saw, her sister was crying, but how is that going save anyone. "She's the Chosen Sword for crying out loud," Hana thought to herself, continuing to eat. She wants to look up to her, and above all wants someone who she can joke around with and call her nee-san. Instead she gets someone who does nothing but cries and makes no progress day after day. The problem isn't going to fix itself, so Hana put it on herself to try to fix it in whatever way necessary. "How the heck is someone who can't even look me in the eye going to fight the War of Liberation?...." Hana frowned, grabbing her spoon more tightly "they could be suffering in there..." her eyes starting to become stars, the world beyond the skies. All of the sudden Mi-hime hugged her, snapping her out the state.

"I'll... talk to her later. Also regarding Neu, I know." She answered Neo, she already knew who the target was.

Neo started talking to everyone "Well i just got finished cardfighting with her, and I asked her about what the rift was, And she said in front of my face that she is the one who sealed the clans" Neo said

Neo wasnt sure if he should tell everyone why she did it but he did anyway

"Her reasoning behind it was to end the war, she claims that she wants everyone happy and smiling, but doesnt realize that sealing clans away is making people sad" Neo said

"I dont know what else shes planning, but thats what I just found out, Neu and the rift are the reasoning behing the vanishing of the clans" Neo said drinking some water.

Well, that had been slightly awkward. But there was nothing much she could do, but make sure Hana was ok. She seemed to be slightly on edge, understandably so. She followed Hana outside, passing by Neo on the way out. She shivered slightly, it seemed to have gotten even colder than before outside. 'Maybe I was also to tired to notice exactly how cold it was earlier' she thought.

Neu stood in front of a tiny coffee house, "StarGATEbucks Coffee..." at least that what she thought the sign was saying. She couldn't actually read it, but her phone maps says that she's at the destination. She turned to check on lover boy to make sure he didn't pass out on his way here. Neu was in the mood for a simple frappe, something sweet. Caramel sounded good...  The line was quite long, so there was enough time to get some casual conversation in, cool.

"Well so what's with the exhaustion? Girlfriend keeping you up or something?"

"Hardly." Haruka responded rather concisely. He looked over at her. She was smug, yet keeping herself completely casual despite the taunt and thrashing she gave him. This wasn't coincidental at all.

She knew what was going to happen from the moment she spotted me.

With that, he looked up at the sign. Indeed, it was a coffee house. This made Haruka feel a bit more at home, however it probably was nothing compared to the butler's royal brew. With that, Haruka's bones had chilled over and frozen. Saying he felt any of it though would be an understatement.

I'm not even angry. I can't be angry. Happy? That's a long shot, even for me. Numb. That's a good way of putting it.

"I've been my own undoing, in a sense." Haruka scratched his cheek, stepping forward as the line had moved.

Neu stepped forward as well, dusting her black grown a little as it had gotten a little dirty from the wind over at the park. She looked over to him scanned over him a little more, "his own undoing huh..." She looked at the menu again and remembered that she couldn't read it so never mind that.

"Well I took you here cause coffee houses are generally relaxing. Well we had one of these in America and I used to just hang out in these and just do my homework," She explained casually. She put her hand on his should and looked at him tenderly in the eyes, "Just.. get your rest and get what ya want, it's on me."

Tsubasa had just arrived at the shopping district after going to the park and asking for someone who looked like Neu, he heads to the location pointed for him and he sees Neu and a person who he's seen with Yukino once before. Cutting in line was not his initial idea of greeting the two, so he decided to get a table and wait for them to order.

"...Coffee...maybe..." he thought.

Tsubasa had generally preferred to stay away from coffee unless he desperately needs it, though he would not mind getting it in order to be respectful.

The touch sent a shock wave down his arm. Haruka nearly flinched back from the touch. The body Neu just touched was simply the shell of two hosts. Obviously she was reaching out for Haruka, but he wanted to turn away. He wanted to hit her or disappear or all three at once.

Help me...-

"I suggest you get that thing off of my shoulder." Haruka notioned for Neu to remove her hand.

Haruka's voice became something of commanding. It was no longer fatigued or weakened in the slightest. In fact, his entire body suddenly stiffened. "This body is not yours to touch." His eyes were glazed over. The emeralds that laid in those holes were now dulled and cut. His words were dark and bore nothing in the way of emotion.

Without knowing any better, people would assume he's a robot.

Neu yawned, removing her hand and walking forward. "It's called a hand. Or I don't know, I just learned this language recently, but I'm pretty sure it's called a hand right?" she giggled a little turning back at him. "C'mon the line is leaving you behind." She pulled out her wallet from her purse and started counting her hundred dollar bills which she has yet to take the currency exchange. It looks live lover boy only let his girlfriend touch his body, that's cute. Neu blushed a little at he thought of one day having someone like that, so devoted. "Man, that's really cute how you only save your body for her." She got some hand sanitizer and rubbed it across her hands two little hands. "No problem, all gone! No evidence! haha."

"Yes. Remove your hand then." Which she did. Upon finding the body no longer under her touch, Sera passed the baton back over to Haruka. His chest was searing hot and he felt a warmth in his face.

"W-What? Cute? Uh-yeah, something like that." Haruka's recollection of the past few moments was clear. It was also clear he wasn't in control of his actions. He could only watch through his eyes what had happened.

"Uh, I'll take a royal brew, black." Haruka stated his normal order, trying to fix his breathing. He felt a surge of emotions pour through him after he and Sera switched off. Maybe that was some spark or ignition?

The wait had started to annoy Tsubasa but it allowed him to start thinking a bit more on the situation at hand, he's still unsure if he had made the right choice but in reality the stance that he is taking right now seems correct in his opinion. He starts to look at Neu and her friend wondering why she brought this person to this coffee shop, until he notices her actions.

"...Heh...cute..I wonder...hmm...you never know when it comes to her..I wonder if they serve hot chocolate here.." he thought, but the sight of the cue made him almost ignore the idea completely. "...What exactly are you thinking Neu.."

"Caramel Ribbon Crunch please." Neu found her way to a table after ordering, sitting down on it and leaning back, resting her feet on the chair on the other side. She breathed deeply and almost started to fall asleep herself. She scanned around the area, noticing that Tsubasa who she hasn't seen in two days was around. It was a relatively peaceful place, wouldn't hurt to take a nap here even, just as long as she doesn't get jumped or anything. She focused her attention back on Haruka who seems to be struggling with something.

"So lover boy, how you guys meet?"

Post by: Jello on August 24, 2015, 07:43:14 PM
"What was the phrase she used..." Haruka thinks for a moment, sipping his coffee. Normally he wouldn't just be so casual with Neu, but at this point she had already paid for his coffee and at least seemed genuinely interested. He owed her at least an answer to this.

"For the sake of mutual proof of being there... is what she had said. We met in the park after suffering losses that cost us our spots at Regionals." Haruka had the words of Yukino's quote down to the letter. It was something that stuck with him for a long time. Technically they had met before that, but they hadn't really been close until that moment. He sips his coffee slowly but surely. He picks up on Neu's tendency to look past him.

"Somebody you know?" He sipped his coffee again. It was already mostly gone. He really needed this, it seems. "Hmm.. what about you. Lovers?" Haruka wasn't all too interested considering he had somebody to think about on his own time, but he wanted to see if Neu was actually a real girl sometimes. Maybe she actually thought of other things besides ruining people's lives.

"Huh yeah, he's a friend of mine." She nodded, "Not lovers though."

She laughed and pointed at herself, "I may not look like it, but a twenty-three year old adult!" She winked, "I look like I'm super young though right? Doesn't that just make your heart skip a beat? Cause the guys I try to go for always think I'm too young for them." She then let out a nervous laugh and looked away.

"As for him though, he's just one of my friends. He told me about his problems and stuff and I promised to help him out. We cardfight for fun from time to time. I mean that's usually how it goes with people I meet. I give 'em my contact info and we can just play a fun fight or two." She sipped her drink, "I mean I really love Vanguard, I just want to wipe everyone's problems away. I swear, if I find a guy, he better play it or else it'll be BORINGGGGGG!" she let out a laugh, almost causing her drink to come out her nose. She took a piece of tissue paper from her purse and quickly stopped it from happening.

Tsubasa spent most of the time thinking about what he would order that he did not notice that the two already took a seat at a different table, he'd been too occupied with his thoughts that he missed the chance to call them over.

"..The cue died down I guess I can make my order now and join them after that if they're ok with it...either way my business is with her." he thought, as he got up and made his way to the counter.

Haruka peered at the girl for a moment.

His gaze took in most of her features and then sat back... Before erupting into a laugh that could be almost considered rude to other customers.

"You? Twenty-three?! You're kidding right? You must be my age or younger, no kidding." Haruka wasn't genuinely happy per se, but he found himself enjoying the time he was spending a bit. It was better than talking to Sera about how awful his life is.

"If you're an adult, why are you hitting on younger guys like me? I'm still a minor you know." Haruka sipped his coffee, tightening his scarf.

The comments about Vanguard sort of slipped past him, so he made his best response without actually remembering what he was responding about. "Right, that. I don't see how a menace like yourself is gonna wipe away problems, but if that's your game, I guess you're the one playing it." Haruka made small gesticulations to emphasize his point.

After getting his order Tsubasa, heads towards their table and asks if he may be seated.

"Would either of you mind if I sit with you?" he asked
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on August 24, 2015, 08:42:20 PM
"I'm not kidding, look I even have a driver's license." She pulled it out of her wallet, it said it straight out, she was definitely twenty-three years old. The picture was actually taken a few months before she got the actual license so in the picture she actually looked like she was fourteen or so. 

"I know you're a minor jeez. I'm not going for you at all, what even makes you think that." She leaned a little closer to him and winked, "unless you're aiming for me of course, but that would be bad for your little girlfriend." She showed Haruka her text message from Satoshi, the one about asking to go to a beach and showed it to him.

"Your friend Satoshi though, I think he's actually trying. He texted this to me awhile back, but I'm not sure what it actually says because I can't read Japanese." She looked down at her phone then se picked up her drink and took another sip. "As for me being a menace, that's not the right word to actually call a cute girl like myself," she took a pause to flip her hair. "But let me tell you, I have my goals, and I know what I want. None of them involve just me or even my own happiness, but those of others. I don't sit around all day, being all sad and reveling in my own suffering. That just accomplishes nothing and its just no fun."

It seems Tsubasa had just gotten through the ridiculously long line.
"Hey, yeah you can here." She moved her feet from the chair that she had been leaning it on..

"You could at least be subtle if you're going to talk about her that way." Haruka finished his cup of coffee and stood up. "Er, you can sit sure. I'm actually about to be off." He nods to the boy. Haruka pockets his hands and looks at Neu.

"Menace or not." He paused. Sera had something to say. "This was a one-time thing. Understood?" Sera was actually very impatient it seems, seeing as soon as he made his remark, he instantly turned away and walked out.

For once, Haruka agreed with Sera. They had a mental mini-brofist, despite Haruka not actually having any bodily functions or controls when in this state. But he felt full of energy. And after talking about Yukino so much, he was sort of eager to visit her. Hopefully after being away for a couple of days she was okay. Sera was completely indifferent to her state, but if it made Haruka's mental resolve stronger, he was all for it.

She casually finished her drink. "I was being subtle man, since I was talking about you." Then she blinked in realization, "Oh, so she's like that right now too?... Man that's hil-" Neu paused and changed her tone, "-really unfortunate..." She shrugged again, putting the tissue she used into the now empty cup. "One time thing?... man you're making this sound like a one night stand or something, it's just coffee." Tapping her fingers on the table, she continued, "I mean this could be a one time thing I guess, but if you ever wanna see Dragonic Overlord again..." a sly grin streaked across her face, "we'll have to meet again sometime."

Tsubasa had taken a seat just as soon as the strange boy decided to walk off immediately.

"...Something bothering him?" he asked.

Tsubasa did not want to stray away from his business with Neu that much but his curiosity forced him to question the situation.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on August 24, 2015, 09:35:41 PM
"Huh.. no clue."

She looked at the door. Now Neu was wondering what to do next.

"What's up with you, how you been?
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: OverDrive on August 24, 2015, 09:49:03 PM
Tsubasa gathered his thoughts for a bit and started talking.

"..Nothing much just usual daily life along with some vanguard fights, though one thing is still bothering me, I just don't know if this is the place to talk about it, since you're getting all comfortable and such" he said.

"Do you want me to ask or would you rather wait until we go somewhere else? I'm sure you know what I want to know." he said, with a neutral look in his eyes.

Tsubasa generally does not frighten anyone around him, but he had to be a bit more careful with this unpredictable person.

Neo decided to go to the shopping district to buy some Vanguard cards for his deck. Then he noticed Neu and Tsubasa talking to each other and decided to see what was going on.

"Its Neu and Tsubasa!" Neo said

"I wonder what there talking about"

Ighanna arrived at the Shopping District after a whole 3-day tour in Rome. She was slightly exhausted and tired however since she is in the middle of her tour, she needs to quickly shop for things to liven up her stage perfomances, and without a doubt the shopping district would be the best place to be. She then notices Neu Edelweiss, Neo and another person together so she approaches them, a little sidetrack wouldn't hurt she guessed. After work there needs to be relaxing after all however she saw Neu and felt a little scared, but she probably means no harm since Neo is there.

Neo noticed Ighanna come up behind him.

"Oh hey, Long time no see" Neo said

"In case your wondering im spying on Neu and Tsubasa, as im sure you know Neu cant be trusted" Neo said to Ighanna.

Post by: Azuki Frappé on August 25, 2015, 02:42:39 AM
"Hm so Neu is still the mysterious figure, we'll need more information on her." Ighanna replied as Neo explained the case.

"How did Tsubasa approach Neu though? He seems close enough to know a few about her" Metatron questioned as the two and the card spirit discussed the case. Ighanna thought maybe because Vermillion was a dragon, it can't talk like Metatron does but then she remembered Satoshi's Seph.

As puzzled as she is she followed Neo in stalking the two, then she thought maybe they should go bring this discussion to the Espoir household.

"I tried explaining to Hana, Yukino, Satoshi and Miyuki about Neu but they were sad and upset yesterday that they didnt listen to me" Neo said to Ighanna.

"But I know what really happened to the clans, I just need help..." Neo said to Ighanna while thinking
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Azuki Frappé on August 25, 2015, 02:57:37 AM
"Well it is their clans being affected after all, I'm guessing we'll have to do this, the two of us since Vermillion and Metatron are both new cards created in order to liberate the sealed clans." Ighanna replied.

"Despite that though, I only had one cardfight with Neu so I don't know much about her nor the sealed clans. If we were to find a person to help us, I'm guessing Jellal seems like a good option with his Aqua Forces, he did play Shadow Paladins before if I remembered correctly." Ighanna suggested as she carried on under Metatron and Neo's company.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: NeoBuster on August 25, 2015, 03:02:36 AM
"Whos Jellal" Neo replied.

Neo had never heard of this Jellah person, but hearing he used Shadow Paladin made him interested.

"Ighanna, Neu was the one who sealed all the clans, she told me herself last night" Neo said

"She is also connected to the rift in some way" Neo also said.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Azuki Frappé on August 25, 2015, 03:10:29 AM
"I'm surprised you have never heard of Jellal, he and Yukino had a great final battle together leading an aftermath being the sealing of Shadow Paladin and Royal Paladin, is what I heard. He currently uses a new clan like us too, Aqua Forces a Magallanica clan probably created to hold the sea meanwhile Bermuda Triangle is absent." Ighanna explained.

"And if Neu was the one who sealed the clans then we probably need an answer from her in order the unseal them and prevent her from sealing more clans." Ighanna urgently talks.

"Also "The Rift", I've never heard of it actually." Ighanna replied.

Neu stood up and quickly bought a cup of coffee. She then sat back down.

"You can tell me here, I doubt anyone would be eavesdropping or anything anyways" She crossed her legs.

"I see.." he said, as he began to cross his arms.

"Then tell me what exactly happened 2 months ago, why are certain clans gone? and why don't we have any memories of them disappearing?" he asked. "I want to know everything, before I decide on what I plan to do."

Post by: Hope on August 25, 2015, 01:35:26 PM
Neu sighed deeply, having already repeated this a good chunk of times, but may as well.

"Two months ago, civil war blah blah blah, I came in, sealed clans that were causing it. Peace restored blablah and all that."

"........I see, so you were hiding this all this time...though why erase everyone's memory of the clans but not the memories of Yukino and the others who commanded those clans two months ago?" he asked.

"If your aim was to cause peace, wouldn't it have made sense for you to wipe their memory clean as well?" he asked, confused by the results of her actions.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on August 25, 2015, 01:51:17 PM
Neu heard something strange. Hiding? "Wait, what?" she thought to herself.

"I haven't been hiding it, that's why it seems like I'm so tired of explaining why." She shrugs. "Also, I did wipe their memory clean, but they still remembered it for some reason, welp, sucks for them."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: OverDrive on August 25, 2015, 01:58:40 PM
"I would not say that they're the only ones who retained their memory of the clans....most of the people I met including myself felt something missing as we continued on our daily lives, in a certain context we were not at peace." he said. "Besides I would not say that it sucks for them that they remember those clans."

Upon mentioning this he remembers something about Neu's style of play with a Vanguard deck.

"..Why do you think they or anyone else still felt, if any, a connection to their original clan?" he asked

Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on August 25, 2015, 02:13:11 PM
"Well you see son, that's called living an unfulfilled life. Missing clans or not, you're going to feel like something's missing until you're an old geezer in a retirement home, that's life. Like for example, I feel like I'm missing a boyfriend," She added sugar to her coffee, a pizza delivery guy came to their table and gave her pizza. She ordered pizza and asked it to be delivered to her in the coffee shop. She gave the guy a hundred dollar bill and he ran off.

"Connection to their original clan? Must be another feeling. Cannot understand question. Maybe later."

While Neo continued to hear the conversation between Neu and Tsubasa. He had the urge to challege Neu to a cardfight, but he didnt want to interupt. If anything, he wanted Neu to drop some infomation on what the Rift was, because that was the only missing piece of this entire puzzle.

"Cmon Neu drop it, whats the rift exactly" Neo whispered to himself
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: OverDrive on August 25, 2015, 02:29:32 PM
"..An unfulfilled life huh, you're too quick to judge I have to say, but I will admit this much we as people really have a lot to strive for at this age, goals and all, but that is why we evolve with our clans, just as they evolve with us." he said.

"..I guess according to you this means that you're living an unfulfilled life as well, though I can see why you're at this current condition, after all I don't see your main clan anywhere." he said. "All you've been using until now are the decks of the people who you wiped their memories, maybe if you tried connecting to a clan other things would come naturally later on in life."

Amidst all this talk Tsubasa remembers one of the main things he wanted to understand.

"...Though I have to wonder, how does a person like yourself have the power to wipe people's minds and erase clans?" he asked.

"Too many questions. Don't think I'm dodging it right now, but too many questions, jeez I'm so bored...." She opened her pizza box and pulled out a slice. She then started eating it and looked around.

"Neo, get out here a fight me and show me this power you were trying to get or whatever." She commanded, gesturing him to come over.

Neo came out of his hiding place, took out his portable cardfight table and set his starter down.

"Im going to make you pay for everything you have done! This cardfight is for all the Vanguard fighters you hurt!" Neo said

But ill make you deal, If I win you have to give me all the infomation on the rift. If you win, I will help you keep the clans sealed. What do you say?" Neo said to Neu
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: OverDrive on August 25, 2015, 03:49:43 PM
"The Rift.....this is going to be interesting." he thought.

Tsubasa had never heard of the rift but from what it sounded like it seemed that it's one of the secrets that Neu was keeping.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: NeoBuster on August 25, 2015, 03:59:27 PM
When the cardfight began, Neo was determined to get as many answers from Neu as possible. But as the fight went on, he realized he was fighting for all the wrong reasons. Sure Neu did seal the clans, but outside of that, all she wanted was to have fun in her cardfights. When Neo rode his Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion, the usual storm that comes never came. Thats because Neo was playing with anger letting his emotions get the better of him. Then after seeing Dragonic Overlord and his evolution "The End" Neo then thought about it.

"The clans were sealed with reasoning. It stopped the war. Sure people are sad, but im starting to realize that this is better for everyone" Neo said to himself.

Another reason Neo started to overthink all of this was because of his parents. He started to think that the clans disappearing and the vanishing of his parents were linked. At this point, Neo was letting every kind of voice go through his head and without thinking, he said to Neu: "I will help you keep the clans sealed away" Neo said to Neu in the middle of the cardfight.

When the cardfight ended, Neo watched as if his life flashed through his eyes. All the friends he made, all the fights he had. It felt like he made a deal to keep everyones happiness away. But the voice in his head kept saying Do it.. Do it for your parents. You will do anything for them wouldnt you? The voice said. "Yeah.. I would" Neo said

Then at that moment Neo put his portable cardfight table away, picked up his cards and turned to Neu "I will help you, so what is the next move" Neo said.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on August 25, 2015, 04:07:37 PM
Neu was utterly and confused and dumbfounded. This guy went two different ways in a matter of a few seconds. She was kind of just cardfighting and messing around along the way, it was really weird. She was just trying to enjoyed himself while her opponent had some kind epiphany from the lord and savior... awkward. She wasn't even taking the deal seriously, she just was tired of answering questions for a bit, but either way, seems good.

After the fight he inquired her about her next move, good question. She thought about it for a moment.

"Well, first off I have to throw away this pizza box and coffee cup... next... I might go on the uh... go check if I gained weight..." she paused for a moment in embarrassment, "....uhm, so most likely, I'll go home, freshen up, and probably just see if I should head somewhere later on tonight." She shrugged.

Post by: OverDrive on August 25, 2015, 04:15:45 PM
Tsubasa was intrigued at Neo's actions towards Neu, but he can understand why he did it, like him Tsubasa also has to care for his only family, that is the reason why he chose to make a 'pact' with Neu.

"It has, and I must admit the sudden change is surprising for a second there I thought I was seeing the usual Neo but now..." he said. "Regardless, what is this power you were reffering to?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: NeoBuster on August 25, 2015, 05:07:49 PM
The power of the Rift... its the main source to all of this" Neo said

As school finally let out for his second day of his senior year, Hazama decided to go to the shopping district to relax and go get some coffee. "I'll take a Grande Java Chip Frappachino please." He brought his money to the cashier in exchange for his drink.

After all that boring school work on the first few days, might as well relax.

The power of the Rift... its the main source to all of this" Neo said

"Sure this is a strange power but its a powerful one, and its how Neu sealed the clans away" Neo said to Tsubasa

"...I see." he said

Tsubasa began to leave the Coffee Shop

"Whatever the case is I made a promise to Neu, and I have my reasons...Neo meet me at the park tonight...I have some things I want to discuss with you, until then I'll see you both later." he said. "And one more thing, try not to overthink your situation Neu, you already look younger than your age."

He exits the shop

Tsubasa was trying his hardest to be as friendly as he can, but against a person who wiped his own memories it was a tough challenge, he sees that he needs to improve somehow, nevertheless he will keep his word.

"..Maybe one day we will all be able to be at ease with another...no matter how much we each try to hide." he said, as he continued his way home before meeting with Neo later today.

After watching Tsubasa and Neu leave, Neo went into some stores. He bought quite a few things including an entire box of Vanguard cards. Then after leaving the store, Neo was passing the coffee shop when he saw Hazama sitting there drinking his coffee and relaxing.

"I dont have time for people like Hazama" Neo said

But doesnt he have answers to the questions that you seek The voice in Neos head said

It wouldnt be wise to let this chance slip away It said

"Your right" Neo said.

Neo decided to go sit on a bench and edit his deck first after opening all of the new packs of cards he bought. Then he walked into the coffee shop, ordered an iced coffee and sat across the way from Hazama.

"And what's in it for me," Hazama replied to Neo. "Oh, I know. That girl named Neu, what has she spoken to you all about lately, as well as any other information gathered about the missing clans?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: NeoBuster on August 25, 2015, 07:35:35 PM
"That seems like a fair trade" Neo replied

Neo moved to sit on a chair at the table Hazama was at and started explaining the whole situation.

Neu is the one that sealed the clans away. Her motives are a bit odd but yes she is the one that sealed them away. She sealed them to stop the war between Shadow Paladin and Royal Paladin. SHe also sealed them to bring happiness to everyone in Vanguard.  And now im going to help her keep them sealed, and will do anything to make sure the clans are never released. It has become a part of my mission. Sure you can question it all you want but instead of you wasting time asking, im going to explain. The rift is connected in all of this. What is the rift you asked? The rift is a "space and time" type of thing. Its a strong power thats still unknown. What I can confirm is that, it was the power that helped seal the clans. Its also a power that I strongly believe is involved with the disaperence of my parents. I will do anything to bring them back..

Neo finished explaining everything to Hazama just as his Iced Coffee arrived.

Post by: NeoBuster on August 25, 2015, 07:45:47 PM
"Royal Paladin, Shadow Paladin, Kagero and Bermuda Triangle" Neo replied

All were sealed away by Neu with the power of the rift. There is a person I have futher interest in. His name is Jellal, and rumor it the sealing of the clans unlocked a clan named Aqua Force for him. I plan to hunt down this Jellal person to find out more. But i wont do that just yet. I need my deck to be at full strength and I need more answers to my questions.

Neo finished talking to Hazama and drank most of his Iced Coffee.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Helios on August 25, 2015, 08:01:25 PM
"Kagero?" As soon as that word was said, something clicked.

I have heard this clan before. I don't know where or how I have heard the name before, but I think that could be related to your father's disappearance.

You really think so? I mean I have never heard of them before, but something sparked in my mind.

"So you say your goal is to keep them sealed. Well I'm sorry, I can't let that happen as the clan you mentioned, Kagero was it, may be directed to me losing my dad and my mother having us grow up isolated from the world. I may be opposed to everything you do, but this time, it is a far better reason than all the others."

Hazama grapps the rest of his frappachino as he was getting ready to leave. "Oh and about Narukami. My dad disappeared due to Vanguard, and the one card he left behind was a Thunder Break Dragon. Of course that was fourteen years ago, so I don't actually think it was a Thunder Break Dragon he left behind."

He steps out from under the table and heads for the exit, hoping he gave a good explanation for Neo not to stop him on his way out m, though he has no other plans.

"I would stop you, but the time isnt right" Neo said to himself.

Neo then finished his Iced Coffee and headed for the exit.

You know what you have to do. The voice said

Neo then walked out of the shopping district and headed out to find more infomation on the rift. And there was only one person who he thought of that knew infomation on it. But he wasnt sure on how to approach this person.

As school finally let out for his second day of his senior year, Hazama decided to go to the shopping district to relax and go get some coffee. "I'll take a Grande Java Chip Frappachino please." He brought his money to the cashier in exchange for his drink.

After all that boring school work on the first few days, might as well relax.

Meanwhile Ighanna was queuing for coffee she heard a familiar voice about two queues in front of her saying "Grande Java Chip Frappachino please" and so she sided her head and looked in front just to see Hazama, a person whom she cardfighted a few months ago. She was surprised and laughed a bit then after ordering her drink, the special seasonal "Orange Honeycomb Crunch Frappuccino, Venti" she approached Hazama and corrected him.

"Oh boy Hazama, its 'Frappuccino' not 'Frappachino'." she told Hazama at the drinks counter meanwhile giving him a cheerily mocking wink. ;)

Miyuki wandered around the shopping district. She had to do some simple grocery shopping for her family anyway, so she decided to get it over with then. However, her thoughts were focused on other things.

She was still wondering if the sibling conflict had been resolved, and had made sure to give them time. She debated heading over to the mansion when she was done, but wasn't fully sure. 'Man I need to get Haruka's number, would be helpful at times like these'.

Hana texted Mi-hime before entering the sanctuary:

"Hey... I'm really sorry about last time. It's all fine now. Nee-san and Haruka are going on a date tonight, I'm so jealous Dx ! We should go on one together sometime. I have an important meeting tonight though, so I'll talk to you later! Wish me luck :D ~ <3 BELLA"

'Yukinee and Haruka are going on a date? Well hopefully that will cheer her up'. She then read the next line: 'we should go on one together sometime and froze for a sec. 'Did she mean that type of date or not now?' Her heart felt weird after reading that. 'S-she probably just means a normal trip like the one in the forest, yes that's it.'

She re-read the message, then realised that she'd missed possibly the most important part. It's all fine now. 'Well that's good' she sighed in relief. 'How did I even miss that the first time'.

She replied with a short text.
'No problem about last time~ Glad to here it's fine now, and whoa they're actually going on a date?! Good luck with your meeting.

"That'll be all sir, thank you again..." Haruka had just got off of the phone with a carpenter to get his walls and floors fixed up. The total cost nearly broke his bank and he was almost in tears once more.

He decided the shopping district was a good idea. Ice cream was always a good time for Haruka. However it seems Sera said he has a stomach ache. Haruka doesn't know how Sera can even feel Haruka's stomach when he isn't in control, and Haruka himself doesn't have even have the faintest feeling in his tummy that reminds him of pain.

"You're getting on my nerves again."

"What'd I do this time? I even congratulated you last night!"

"Not you."

What? My abdomen is in pain.

"It can't be. You don't even have a real body."

Haruka was having a three-way conversation with Vortimer and Seraphim. Funnily enough, they can actually hear each other. Must be a side-effect of both being in his head.

"Well, Sir Sera. How is it in there? Inside a host you cannot control?"

I can control him plenty. I choose not to.

"Hoh...?" Haruka cringed at the thought that the right to control his own body could even be stripped from him.

Walking up to the ice cream shop, he notices the normal clerk isn't there today. Instead some young girl was working there, probably a little younger than Haruka in fact.

"Haiii, can I help you?"

Haruka pointed to the sea-salt ice cream treat he always bought. The girl kept trying to make conversation but the only thing on Haruka's mind was the night before. Yukino seemed to shine in the moonlight that evening, and everything about her was what Haruka had needed for a long time. Somebody to watch his back, and be there to tell him he was wrong when he couldn't see what was right. If only she could deal with Sera in particular. That might just be a problem Haruka himself must deal with, considering Sera's tendency to just take the reins.

It was difficult to keep a straight face on when he thought about her. He often started daydreaming really hard at this point.

"Sir...?"

"Hmm? Oh yeah, thanks." Haruka takes the bag of sweets and ice cream and walks out of the shop. With no particular destination in mind, Haruka sits down at a bench in front of the Star Gate themed coffee-shop and started his first treat.

Post by: Jello on August 26, 2015, 06:10:47 PM
"Hmm... this tastes kinda funny.."

Haruka takes a couple more bites of his ice cream before he realizes his phone is buzzing.

A text message? Oh, it's from Hana.

Haruka reads the text twice, just to make sure he saw it right. A favor?

"Whatcha need? -haru"

Hana had just finished cooking an egg and texted in reply:

"I think after yesterday's success I can ask you. I think even with the War of Liberation having just started my sister still isn't ready to perform her duties as Chosen Sword. I was thinking of using one of the houses in the residential area that the family owns and having you guys just stay there to relax for two days or so. Like a get away or vacation time. I'll inform Ezel and Garmore to stop bothering her about the war also and just let her focus on getting better. I think it may be best that she spends time with you in order to just forget what her duties are and just be happy as a regular person. I'll cover all the expenses. Are you up for it?  ~ <3 BELLA"

Post by: Jello on August 26, 2015, 06:25:18 PM
Haruka stared at the text once more. This time, a slight red shade covered his face.

"Have Yukino stay with me somewhere in the residential area? uh, i'm totally fine with that, sure. is yukino tho? -haru"

He really wanted to spend more time with Yukino, for sure. The problem is, he didn't want to smother the poor girl. Not only that, but she has a large sense of pride. Was this really going to help her?

He hit send and found himself taking him and his bag of treats into the coffee shop. He started craving his black cup of energy after the scent wafted out of the store.

"rite then. just message me the details and the address and ill be there later."

After hitting send again, he takes a quick glance around the room. Haruka has an insecurity problem and certain shady people throw him off. He instinctively would hide from them if he felt the need to. But he saw no such people here, so instead he bought a cup of coffee and sat in the far back corner.

You seem vigorous, Haruka. Did something happen? Are you having a heart attack?

"Yes and no. I'll explain later." Haruka is genuinely surprised Sera doesn't know why Haruka is suddenly so excited.

Yukino wound up aimlessly wandering around the entire day while coming up with plans with Ezel and Garmore for the war. For some reason, the two ceased talking about it. An irritated queen had to argue with them over getting more info out, as they told her they were ordered to say no more on the matter. While the wolf intended to keep his mouth shut, the lion went ahead and continued on. He still spared no detail as her guardian.

The queen's mind began trailing off in the middle of the explanation and strategies, however. A text was sent to her beloved.

"Hey, where are you? I wanna see you."

Might've been a bit blunt instead of a cute yearning to see his face.

Post by: Jello on August 26, 2015, 09:55:18 PM
Sip. Sip.

This was Haruka's first attempt at coffee with milk. Normally he always just had it plain because adding stuff felt arbitrary. For once though, he did a half and half mix.

Sip. Gulp.

This is actually... really good. I might have to try this more often. He looked up from his cup to check his phone. Probably Hana with details as to where he and Yukino would be staying.

"Hoh...?" Turns out it was Yukino herself. She was looking for him. This made him grin a little, kind of delighted.

"at the coffee shop near the ice cream parlor. have you talked to hana today? -haru"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cherry on August 26, 2015, 09:59:47 PM
Oh, she had passed the coffee shop awhile back. The queen began to backtrack.

"On my way. Haven't seen Hana today since I left the house early, and I've been talking with Ezel all day. How was your day though?"

Post by: Jello on August 26, 2015, 10:03:05 PM
"Another cup please? Thank you." Haruka ordered himself another cup of coffee, experimenting a bit more with what he liked.

Oh, a text. That was fast.

"hmm, i see. well i have news for when you get here then. also its been pretty good. sera isnt the worst guy ever anymore -haru"

Haruka hit send without realizing that he never actually explained who Sera, the Seraphim, really was to Yukino. He had just said he hated the name, and never really brought it up after that point with her. He felt as though it was sort of a depressing topic altogether and nothing she wanted to hear about.

"Well that's gonna be awkward."

Sip. Sip. Gulp.

This is so gooooooood.

Entering the coffee shop without thinking was not the best course of action. The heavy aroma of caffeine still made her feel nauseous, how could Haruka stand this stuff all the time? Holding back on puking, she quickly spotted the caffeine addict. Approaching him, Yukino affectionately embraced him from behind. "Good to see you, cutie", she greeted, quickly easing into their relationship. Sitting down next to him, she quickly got to prying into the first topic: "So... Sera?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on August 26, 2015, 10:21:29 PM
The hug took him by surprise, making him nearly drop his cup.

"H-Hey there, sweetheart." He sets his cup down and leans his head on his hand, devising a way to explain what was going on.

"Sera. Erm, Seraphim. The thing you asked me about back in your house." He sighed pocketing his hands, as per usual. This was a pretty signature thing of his.

"So, turns out, I'm the guy. Seraphim. Except we're also separate entities in the same body." Haruka stared at Yukino, slowly nodding to hope she's understanding what he's saying.

"Okay, so it sounds crazy. It kind of is. But you know I wouldn't hit Satoshi right? Or anymore for that matter?... You'd never guess I, or Sera anyways, was the one who sent him flying into the wall." He extends his left hand to reveal the large scratch across the middle finger and bruises around his knuckles.

"I don't even feel it." Haruka then proceeded to drink more of his coffee. 6th cup in the course of 2 hours. His blood was probably pumping at godspeed right now.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cherry on August 26, 2015, 10:30:35 PM
"So an alter ego sort of thing?" Yukino tried to rationalize it, since the only kinds of separate entities she knew of in someone's head would be like her allies on Cray. This didn't seem to be the case, however. Or at least it didn't the way he explained it. Genuine shock came when the fact that Haruka is the one who hit Satoshi was revealed. Well, Sera, this is already going to get confusing. An audible gasp, but traded for a look of worry when seeing his hand. She slowly, gently took it, rubbing with her thumb.

"That's... really weird and amazing", she said. As if she was one to talk, since people would call her crazy for talking to cards out loud. "Why is this separate entity in your anyway?"

She paused.

"Uh, and how many cups of coffee have you had recently?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on August 26, 2015, 10:44:00 PM
"Amazing? Haha, I guess so... I was only watching from the backseat. My body was completely restricted. Or at least, from me it was. I just saw my hand suddenly reach out and it looked like a quick jab. Turns out it sent him flying across the room."

Haruka was sort of flustered at Yukino's concern. She really was a sweetheart if you knew her well enough.

"Why? Oh. He wasn't clear. He made it out to be something along the lines of PTSD and Split Personality Disorder. Except Cray is involved? I don't know. Something about the flames of rebirth and the fire I was in called him to protect me. The only thing he said that made sense to me was that if he hadn't protected me then, I would've died."

Haruka was casual about the topic, only because he had no real idea what Sera had said that evening. If he really had the faintest idea, he would have explained it to Yukino a bit better. He left it at that with Sera, considering he wasn't clocked in much today. The last bit of information was clear however. It explains why the memory of everything is so clear, but he doesn't remember the fire on his body. The heat was never there before that day. Now heat rises in his chest all the time. His body heats up whenever it's ready to go. Maybe Sera had something to do with all that.

And to answer that last question.

"I've had, uh..... Six." Haruka uses his free hand and sips his coffee. He was so damn wired it wasn't even funny. Thing is, he can't really feel the buzz because he was so sugar hyped earlier from candy and ice cream. He was a really unhealthy individual in retrospect.

Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cherry on August 26, 2015, 10:57:31 PM
Okay so Sera wasn't Overlord.

Yukino made a quick attempt to ask Ezel about it, but the lion had no idea. Possibly better to check with Dragon Empire, which is something they wouldn't be able to do easily. Just because they were both working to save the sealed heroes didn't mean the hostility between nations faded away. That aside, she didn't get on his case for injuring Satoshi, since he clearly didn't mean it. ... Or, well, he did since he's Sera, but at the same time it wasn't- you know what Yukino just decided they're different beings regardless of what Haruka said.

Still, she hummed curiously. PTSD and Split Personality Disorder would be viable results of his childhood tragedy, but where did Cray fit in to it? For someone who is supposed to "protect" Haruka, this spirit sure put a heavy damper in Haruka's overall mood for awhile. It still might have, but at the very least it looked like he got more sleep than weeks ago. Yugure scooted closer to her boyfriend, lightly pecking him on the cheek.

"I'm glad it doesn't look like Sera's still driving you up a wall, at least. If he saved you and is supposed to keep helping you out, he'll be a good asset overall too... as long as there's no more hefty jabs like the one he delivered to our friend."

After that though, she tentatively poked his cheek. Was he okay having that much coffee in a short amount of time?
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on August 26, 2015, 11:08:33 PM
'A-Ah... Yeah, I'm glad too." His face turned a shade of pink at her lips reaching his cheek. It was something he'd done for her awhile ago, and she had run away down the stairs covering her mouth.

In return he pecks her back on the lips, giving back a smile. "I think I'll be fine from now on. As long he, er, I behave. That sounds weird." He lightly facepalms himself remembering how silly he looked trying to talk to Sera at the park a few days ago. With another sip, he gives his attention back to her.

"Oh, I meant to ask. Did you hear any, uhm... change of sleeping arrangements recently?" Haruka asks attentively, looking to see if Hana had mentioned any of the plans that was texted to him earlier. He planned on telling Yukino about it a bit anyways, but he wanted to check to make sure with her. It'd be embarrassing relaying information she was already aware of from the beginning.

Post by: Cherry on August 26, 2015, 11:43:59 PM
A light giggle was her response to their lips meeting again, she very much enjoyed that feeling. She was a bit confused at what he brought up next though.

"Change of sleeping arrangements?"

She could barely sleep as it was.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on August 26, 2015, 11:58:05 PM
That giggle.. that was cute.

"So Hana didn't tell you then?" Haruka gives off a sly grin and a chuckle.

"For the next couple of days you'll be staying with me it seems. According to what Hana said anyways. We're staying at a house in the residential district for a bit. Call it a vacation?"

Haruka finished his sixth cup, debating a seventh but he's pretty sure that having anymore of that would make blood turn to coffee itself and that sounds painful so he immediately regrets getting a seventh cup and doesn't.

"That is, if you want to." Haruka gets a hold of Yukino's hands, intertwining his fingers with hers as he awaits her answer to this seemingly straight-forward way of asking "do you want to try living with me?"

That escalated quickly.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cherry on August 27, 2015, 12:04:30 AM
Hana... Yukino wasn't against this, but she took a minute to think about how her sister arranged this. Dad Espoir might kill Haruka for moving this quickly, though. Still, the girl was suddenly more concerned with how much the little sister was pushing her. She hadn't even helped with the situation involving Miyuki...

"I don't mind the idea of living with you, sure", the offer was accepted. This escalated a bit too quickly, and frankly she wasn't all that interested in a vacation. There was work to do, and the queen did want to build her relationship more with the coffee addict... yet, it'd be taking away from duty. Ezel told her to live a little, if possible. Yukino responded with the fact that yesterday's date was "living a little".

"I'd have to get my things and... see father's reaction to it, but I'd be more than happy to."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on August 27, 2015, 12:17:03 AM
"Yeah..."

Haruka definitely wanted Yukino to feel as comfortable as possible with the situation, so he agreed to whatever she wanted to do. Talking to Father Espoir was something he dreaded with every fiber of his being, but it was necessary, or so Yukino thought. She also had to retrieve things from her home which he can only imagine several wardrobes and and endless supply of whatever her fancies were. That's how Haruka imagined rich people when they had luggage anyways.

"I don't have much to bring anyways, so would you prefer I go with you to talk to the Father about this, or should I spare my own life and go to my house and grab what little bit I need to get?"

Haruka gave Yukino an ultimatum. Do I live or do I die? You choose!
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cherry on August 27, 2015, 12:51:58 AM

Post by: Jello on August 27, 2015, 01:01:29 AM
"Right then. I'll meet you there later. It's gonna get really late soon, so try not to take too long." He gets up, but before leaving out of the shop, he leaves Yukino with a lingering kiss. He only pulls away because he feels like people are watching again.

"Right, see you there." With a wave, he steps out of the shop and towards and back to his newly renovated home. Which he won't be staying in for a bit. What a waste of money...

"Well the next couple of days should be interesting at least. I wonder how Yuki's gonna react to all of that... I have a feeling I'm gonna have to prepare for Cardfights."

Haruka immediately picked up that Yukino felt she was shirking her duty or something of the sort. The date was one thing, but she was a devoted fighter of Cray. Up and leaving for a couple of days wasn't really her style. She's at least going to want to fight, or so Haruka believes.

"Well, which scarves am I taking with me... decisions, decisions."

Makuto isn't really a morning person, but he also doesn't like wasting a big part of his life sleeping. Having just woken up, he decided to feed his sugar addiction by entering starGATEbucks. So many choices to choose from, all those flavors of coffee and milkshakes, all those sweets. He settled on a Cream Caramel and 3 chocolate covered croissants with bueno filling and took a seat to enjoy all his goodies.

Despite having fun, Makuto was still kinda confused about the whole Unknown clans thing and wondered if Yukino depression had to do with the clans.

Neu materialized herself in front of the fish ball restaurant.

"Whew, I haven't eaten for so long.... feels like its been a hundred years or something."

She walked her way into the store and took a seat inside, looking at the menu and now fully capable of reading it. She looked over to what she ordered the last time she was here along with its price. That's when she started sweating nervously.

"I paid ten times what I was supposed to..."

Haruki went to the shopping district after his time in Rijuku to get something to eat. As he looked at the restaurants in the area, one of them caught his eye. Inside one of them was his friend Neu, still looking at her menu. The young man of justice walked in to greet her, and eat too.

"Hey Neu, nice to see you." He gave a friendly smile and wave. "Can I join you to eat?"

"Uh yeah sure..." He was probably one of the first people to not comment on eyes and hair as the first thing that they noticed when meeting her like this. Of course the comments weren't negative. Neu noticed that more guys looked at her now and showed interest. That, or that 200 years of training in the Rift cured her of her shallowness.

"Take that seat." She offered the one directly in front of her. "How ya been?"

He was a person that took great pride in how he continued to fight for justice. The young man of justice took his seat across from Neu, asking a question in return.

"Well, what's on the menu today Neu? I haven't eaten all day." Another man walked up to the two fighters as he said this, pointing at Neu as if he wanted something from her.

"I can't say i'm not here for food because they'll ask why i'm here then." Thought the youth as he kept staring at Neu as if she had grown a second head. With a sigh he grabbed a free chair and sat on it. He gotten a menu to scan on what to order. He can't deny that he is getting free food, even if it is from an enemy. He glanced at the other boy at the table.

"He doesn't seem to be aware of her actions at the construction site"

Hikaru seemed like a nice guy, and a good fighter if Neu wanted to cardfight with him too, so Haruki was fine with another person eating with them. The young man of justice turned to the other person to greet him.

"Hey there, it's nice to meet you Hikaru. I'm Haruki." He smiled. Then he was a bit shocked as he heard what Neu had to say about what she's done. It must have been safe enough if she was able to help the person though. Just Neu being Neu after all. Interesting to hear that Hikaru was the King of the Underground too.

"Neu, it's kind of dangerous to push people off buildings. Maybe lean towards helping people in more justifiable ways. I'll have fish balls too by the way, just like old times."

Satoshi walked into the fish balls restaurant, starving. He hadn't eaten in about 24 hours because of his intense meditation. He sat at a table by himself and ordered up a nice plate of fish balls.

Sipping up some water, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Neu sitting with a few people he had seen before but hadn't been formally introduced to, but honestly, he was too hungry to try and talk things out with her right now. Additionally, he had something else on his mind.

He wanted to see Haruka sooner rather than later.

"I'm surprised that you can say that so casually Neu." Hikaru then turns to other boy. "It's...nice to meet you, Haruki and you already know my name from her I guess."

Neu was initially afraid of heights, but spending such a long time in the rift kind of made her forget how dangerous falling was. To her, what she did was equal to pushing Yukino through a door. She did open an actual door to the rift, though they weren't actually able to see it. Welp.

"Well of course I can, not like I harmed her or anything. If I did then I'd be guilty and have a hard time talking about it of course."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Kuro on August 29, 2015, 09:07:17 PM
Haruki remembered how Kurai's alternate personality, Amon, talked about being afraid of Neu earlier that day. Maybe he could learn more about what had happened if he asked his friend about their encounter, and clear up the problem with his other friend later.

"Hey Neu. Have you ever met someone named Kurai or Amon? They're good friends of mine that said they met you before, but kind of didn't like meeting you."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on August 29, 2015, 09:17:01 PM
Neu had to try to dig up her memory for a few hundred years back. It was a bit fuzzy but she remembered them.

"Oh right, those two. Kurai liked me, but Amon was kind of a weirdo. The fight we had wasn't all that fun since the Amon guy was taking it far too seriously.... also he kinda just told me he was Amon then he scooped the heck outttt."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Kuro on August 29, 2015, 09:28:17 PM
Haruki was surprised that Amon gave away his secret so quickly to Neu. There was probably something more to the story on his side, but Haruki was glad to hear that Neu wasn't deliberately trying to frighten them. Soon enough the food for the three fighters arrived at their table, and Haruki was starving.

"Thanks for the info Neu, I think it'll really be useful to him later. Now, let's eat!"

Grabbing a few of his fries and began to munch on them. Then he remembered some of the conversations back on the construction site at the previous day.

"By the Neu, I had heard from the others about the missing clans. I take it that you know about?

Post by: Hope on August 29, 2015, 09:59:21 PM
"Let's eat!"

It seems that the fish balls have arrived.

"Yeah, I know about 'em, I was that one that kinda put them away after all." She shrugged a little.

"What happens to the clans depends on us?" Haruki was confused as he heard Neu say this. He hadn't thought about cardfighters like himself being able to affect the outcome of the clans that strongly. "So these missing clans could remain legends, or even become available to all players eventually?"

Post by: Hope on August 29, 2015, 11:15:58 PM
"They'll return if peace can be maintained if they return. I guess."

She continued eating, the taste of a fish ball as been lost to her for so long. She hasn't actually done actual eating in so long either. She was kind of lost in this moment. Also she was kind of feeling like it was about time to let out a fight or two.

Post by: Spectre Diamond on August 29, 2015, 11:26:07 PM
"While were here Neu" He places his deck onto the table. "Fight me."

With a case of a bad hand and grade stuck....the fight didn't go so well for him. He had fought them. The black knights of the holy nation of light, the Shadow Paladin. He had experienced a memory of the past, from his fights in the underground, when he fought the shadow paladins in the underground.

"My strength, is it really an illusion."
He questioned himself in his mind. She may of been friendly and paying for his food, but it didn't mean he trusted her yet.

Neu: 1+AP

Post by: Kuro on August 30, 2015, 12:03:47 AM
As the two other fighters at the table began their fight, Haruki noticed that Hikaru used the Dimension Police clan as well. The units Hikaru used reminded him of evil monsters however, and not the greater justice of the clan. He then remembered some time ago, when Kurai, or Amon maybe, spoke of a fight with the King of the Underground where he first discovered limit break. Zeal, the beast of injustice was what he called it.

The young man of justice thought about if his clan could maintain peace between heroes and beasts. After all, Neu's condition on the fate of the clans was if there could still be peace. He continued to watch the fight with a deep focus until Neu finished it with a hit from her Dark Dictator. It really was a fun fight to see.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on August 30, 2015, 12:29:31 AM
In a quick and fun game, the King of Underground fights fell.

"Whew..." Neu leaned back onto her chair and finished the rest of her food. She looked at the nonexistent watch on her right wrist, "Man look at the time... uh, yeah I gotta jet!" She slammed down the exact payment down to the tax and change in Yen and stormed out of the store. Once she reached a far enough distance, she vanished.

As his friend Neu rushed out of the restaurant leaving behind the cash to pay for their meal, Haruki thought it was about time for him to head home too. He finished the last of his meal and said goodbye to Hikaru, who hadn't exited yet.

"It was great watching you two fight Hikaru, and pretty cool seeing you use the same clan as myself. Maybe we can fight sometime, but I'll see ya later." The young man of justice waved goodbye to his new friend and smiled as he exited the shop and went home for the night.

Hana headed into the first store in the shopping district. She didn't know whether or not anyone took on her offer, but she went ahead anyways. The first order of business was to buy dog food for Pr<3ism who she was going to bring with her overseas. Since she didn't know how to particularly give her a bath yet, she planned on learning at home. She started to think how much dog food she would need to take.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Kuro on September 01, 2015, 08:11:46 PM
Haruki and his group finally caught up with Hana as they reached the store she stopped at. Looked like a pet store, probably for her dog, but it seemed like a great spot to have a good time too. He waved to Hana and called out to show that they made it.

"Hey Hana, getting some things for your dog?"

Post by: OverDrive on September 01, 2015, 08:18:06 PM
Tsubasa enters the pet store with his friends, it was clear that Hana was here for her pet dog. In the meantime Tsubasa decided to check out the dogs they had.

"...I wonder if Haruto would like one...?" he thought. "I should probably save it until after the circuit."

Tsubasa walks next to Hana and asks, "What's its name?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on September 01, 2015, 08:23:33 PM
Hana was somewhat happy with the turnout, noticing Tsubasa and Haruki having joined her, she gave both a wave and a little smile. The dog in her arms also wagged her tail and gave a bark as a greeting. That or it wanted the food. She replied to Tsubasa's question.

"Her name is Pr<3ism Promise and she's a Labrador."

While he was a tad bit behind the others, Seifer joined in to, looking around at the shops. Ok, still a tourist, and he was just curious about what was all around and stayed behind a bit to view other things along the way.

Neo made it to the pet store catching up with everyone else.

"Its funny" Neo said outloud.

"When I first met Hana, she bought me dog food because I was so hungry that day" Neo said

Neo was then flashbacking to those good days while in the pet store with everyone.

Post by: OverDrive on September 01, 2015, 08:51:30 PM
"........she did what?" he said, turning around with disbelief.

Tsubasa was astonished at that kind of action and even more surprised that Neo actually ate the dog food.

He walks up to Neo and puts his hand on his shoulder, "..next time you feel hungry just let me know...before that happens.." he said, as he began to slightly laugh.

He turns around and says,"..oh and that dog's name sounds familiar, but overall it's a good choice." he said, with a smile.

"..Man..i'm terrible at giving compliments." he thought.

As Neo came out right away with a tale of his many misadventures, Haruki couldn't help but laugh at the strange story. Almost unbelievable, but it looked like his friend had fond memories of those days. He looked to Hana and her loyal dog who gave a happy bark.

"Nice to meet you Pr<3ism." Haruki smiled and gave a friendly wave to the dog in Hana's arms. It looked like everyone was happy in the pet shop, and that was a good thing.

"Maybe one day I will get myself a dog too" Neo said

"Dogs are great companions and symbols of justice too, so they definitely make for a good choice as a pet." Haruki was happy to hear his friend Neo thinking of getting a pet in the future. As he looked at the other people in the shop, the young man of justice could tell that they were happy as well in this place. The pet shop was a great first stop on their trip through the shopping district.

Satoshi quietly did his shopping for New York. Mostly some overnight things he needed, a jacket in case it was cold...he didn't need that much, since most of what he had was at Haruka's.

No, really he had been hoping to make amends still with Yukino, who made him feel a bit guilty because of how things were for her before, and Haruka, who he had essentially provoked into punching him in the face. But Yukino had turned him down and said "maybe another time," probably not realizing the World Circuit was such a short ways away. Haruka hadn't said a word.

He sighed and shrugged. Today was going to be another quiet day.

Post by: Kuro on September 01, 2015, 10:36:47 PM
"Hmm, where else to get supplies..." Haruki thought about what they would need for a different environment like New York.

"How about a change of wardrobe? New clothes for a New York, y'know?" Haruki smiled at his cleverness.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 01, 2015, 11:47:51 PM
Seifer glanced over himself as Haruki spoke. It probably wouldn't hurt to get a new wardrobe honestly. "There are probably clothes shops further in?" he spoke up before shrinking back to the back of the group again. For some reason he started to actually feel out of place.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on September 02, 2015, 12:06:02 AM
Hana managed to buy her dog food. With Pr<3ism now on the ground and running around her, she was carrying a bag full of food that could probably last the entire trip. When things were like things, they felt like how they used to be. Sure, these weren't the same people, but Hana appreciated the atmosphere that they all gave off. It was goofy, it was relaxing, and it was just plain fun. She started to smile a little and as their conversations went on eventually started to laugh, the first time in so long.

"Oh clothes! I already have enough packed for the trip, but yeah let's go buy some." She nodded as she pointed over to the general direction of the clothing stores.

She then turned over the shy-looking glasses guy and looked at him closely. From her council meetings on Cray she's gotten rather good at reading people. Of course, it was only natural that she learned how to catch on to how people were feeling by how they reacted, otherwise clan representatives would get away with far too many things. "Hana Espoir is my name," she introduced herself to him.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 02, 2015, 12:12:14 AM
The introduction caught him off guard but Seifer quickly regained his composure, stepping forward to return it, as is the polite thing to do. "Seifer Leo... Nice to meet you. And sorry for being kind of anti social. It's a bit... different... from what I'm used to. It's nice to meet you Hana." he returned the introductions as politely as he could manage, though admittedly slightly embarrassed now that he'd kind of been put in the spotlight. Though deep down part of him didn't mind. That's what he'd come here to do right? To meet new people? That's what he kept telling himself.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: OverDrive on September 02, 2015, 12:18:49 AM
Hana had started to finally lighten up a bit, thankfully she was able to smile and even laugh.

"..Wow it worked when I was not trying, that's good." he thought.

Tsubasa had noticed a guy with glasses who had been eyeing their group but paid no attention to him at first, until Hana decided to introduce herself to him.

"...I guess he just did not have the courage to talk to us directly at first....understandable, meh at least he's getting involved now which is good..." he thought. "I wonder what kind of clothes I should get....something black and maybe dark blue...hmmm."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: NeoBuster on September 02, 2015, 12:24:58 AM
Seeing Seifer make more new friends put a smile on Neo's face. He seemed like one of those people who wanted to make friends but was scared to do so. Meanwhile Neo thought long and hard about what clothes he wanted when the group went to the store.

"Hm what should I get?.." Neo thought to himself
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on September 02, 2015, 12:25:12 AM
"Well even in New York it should still be summer so dark clothes would kind of be uncomfortable." She turned from Seifer and walked on, but made sure that she kept a close distance from him so that he wouldn't be too far from the group. "Just lighten up, even I'm not feeling that great right now, but can't waste the opportunity Sei-chan," she would whisper to him as they walked on.

The first fashion store that they would be arriving at is her favorite, the one that she frequents the most. It would be full of flashy clothing that one would often mistake as stage costumes. Right, it was the kind of clothes that idols would wear to their shows. It was her kind of store as it fit her flashy fashion sense which she hasn't been living up to as of late, but right now was an opportunity to try. As for the rest of the group, it wouldn't hurt for them to try things out of their comfort zone. They might even find some things they even like since the store also sells stuff for everyday wear.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: OverDrive on September 02, 2015, 12:48:02 AM
Tsubasa was not interested in fancy clothing that much, he respected the concept but he was not one to enjoy standing out in front of people in general unless they were his friends.

"...oh they have some interesting stuff here aside from the fancy....hmmm I can't stop looking at the dark stuff.." he thought.

"Ok that's it!" he said, as he grabbed a white jacket, blue shirt and blue jeans. "I'd like to purchase these please." he said.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 02, 2015, 12:50:52 AM
When whispered to, Seifer nodded in agreement with Hana before they ended up at the first clothes store. A place for idols? Well... Maybe he could find something he liked? He hoped anyway. He needed a change of wardrobe honestly. Time for something kinda different. Looking around he found things that he kind of liked, kind of hated, and just straight up didn't know what to think about. In the end he came out with a black jacket that had a furred collar meant more for show than actually keeping you warm, and a thin white t-shirt, and that was pretty much it. "I'd like to purchase this myself."

Neo looked around the store and wasnt really fashion person but did have his own style. So he just went to each section of the store, picked out what he wanted then went to the register.

"Some jeans, a jacket, sneakers and shirts will do" Neo said while buying the clothes
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on September 02, 2015, 01:01:13 AM
Hana came out of the dressing room with a predominantly beige colored long sweater with ice cream printed all over it. She wore a golden penguin necklace along with a ring that she had bought because she thought it looked nice. She was also wearing striped blue and white shorts. She tied her hair into pigtails with a doggy hair tie. Looking like a real idol, she gave a smile and a peace sign and waved at everyone. She held a bag in her hand suggesting that she already bought her clothes.

"So we're going to go eat next? I know a good ramen place and I can pay for it." She suggested.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Kuro on September 02, 2015, 01:08:55 AM
As Seifer and Hana chatted, the group soon arrived at the clothing store. Much to his surprise, Haruki was met with an immense lineup of fashion, definitely suited for someone as famous as Hana. He looked around at all of the amazing clothes, unsure of what he should be trying to buy. In the end, he decided on an epic crimson-red coat, along with a set of a gray shirt and white pants. He purchased his items at a surprisingly inexpensive price. As they finished shopping for clothes, Hana suggested they go out to eat.

"Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the offer Hana." He smiled as he wore his new attire with his friends.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 02, 2015, 01:20:09 AM
As Hana suggested a place to eat, and Haruki seemed to accept it, Seifer agreed to it as well, donning his new outfit. The jacket seemed light and airy enough, actually quite unlike typical jackets that were meant to keep you warm, this one seemed to not do a very good job of that. "Ramen sounds good to me."

Tsubasa was rather surprised at the change in appearance and clothing that Hana took on at that moment, it reminded him of his mother since she was into fashion designs, with her being a fashion designer, and several different style looks. For once his memories of his parents were not almost if not completely filled with sadness or guilt but rather with happiness.

"..That combo looks good on you." he said, almost instantly. "...Yea food sounds good right now." he said.

"Thank you!" She twirled around and winked at Tsubaka.

"Now then..." She pointed her finger over to the nearby ramen shop. It was partially owned by the Espoir family at this point. She asked for a table which would fit all of them and upon sitting down she took out and envelope and made quick changes to her deck. She nodded and looked at Sei-chan.

"You fight right? Would you like to have one to practice for the New York Stage?" She asked.



He agreed, and they fought while they waited for the food. It was against a clan than Hana hasn't fought much of, Great Nature. The gained power and died, it was kind of weird. The Coca Cola Polar Bear gave power to another one which also died but was revived?... Either way Hana used her Angel Feathers to switch around a bunch of damage to create powerful columns which bought off the end of the game.

"Onto the food!" She announced. The ramen was about to get served.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 02, 2015, 01:49:26 AM
When Seifer's sixth damage hit he just laughed, gathering up his cards and putting them away before turning his attention toward the food. It was obvious though that despite losing, he'd had a lot of fun in the fight and it helped that he got to learn of a new clan to boot. Angel Feathers were kind of cool. "Let's eat, I'm starving after that."

As they sat in the ramen shop waiting for their food, Seifer and Hana hit it off with a fun cardfight before they all headed off to the World Circuit. It was an epic battle between Great Nature and Angel Feather, but Hana pulled another victory as the game concluded. It passed the time long enough for their food to arrive.

"Let's eat!" Haruki got his food and started to eat.

Tsubasa was glad that Hana had begun to enjoy herself, it was clearly worth the trip to come this far to try to cheer her up. In the meantime, as the gang began getting seated Hana had a cardfight against seifer who used the great nature clan.

"That was a fun cardfight you 2, -food gets served- thank you for the food." he said, with a smile.

After finishing his meal

Tsubasa challenges Neo to a cardfight to practice for the upcoming circuit games.

Neos 6th damage fell and the game was over as Tsubasa had beaten him again.

"Wow, Platina Ezel. Thats Tsubasa's evolution!" Neo said

Neo was happy Tsubasa had evolved into a stronger fighter.

"Now I wait for your evolution" Thats what Tsubasa said to Neo.

At first Neo was a bit worried because is Tsubasa was this strong, everyone else int he circuit is going to be just as strong. But he had confidence in his deck going into the circuit no matter.

"Alright everyone, I had lots of fun today. See you all in New York tomorrow" Neo said as he waved goodbye and headed out the district.

Seifer watched the fight quietly while eating his own bowl of ramen. Both were powerful fighters, but Tsubasa was the one that came out on top. After the fight, and the bowl in front of him was empty, Seifer wondered if he'd get to the same point as everyone else in mind set with their clans. He took one glance at Great Nature, trying to hide it from the others but quickly looked up when everyone seemed to be getting ready to leave. Seifer smiled at the friends he made, "I'll see you guys tomorrow. Let's all try to make it to the final sets together though. Great games again Hana, and to you guys to." he spoke to Hana, Tsubasa and Neo, giving a light wave before departing himself.

The fight was entertaining. Tomorrow was New York, it was time to fly off. Hana had to head home to make final preparations. She paid for everyone's meal and thanked their server. She then looked at all of them and gave a smile, thanking them as well.

"Thanks everyone, and yes it was a great game Seifer, thank you." She said as she made her way out.

Time to catch that flight to New York!

With the exciting fight over the group begins to part ways so they can be ready for the circuit event tomorrow. Regardless of what happens the group will remember the fun events of today.

"I'm glad we all got the chance to have fun today guys, I wish you all luck at the circuit stage." he says, as he begins to walk towards the exit and waving at the gang.

"..Gold Paladins...let's do this!" he thought as he began his way home for final preparations. "...I'm glad we were able to cheer her up.." he thought, as he began smiling as he walked.

As his friends all had fun cardfights, Haruki knew they would have a great time in the World Circuit. They all finished their food and one by one left the shop happily. The young man of justice, the last one in the shop, turned to the exit as he thought of the future at the World Circuit.

"We'll make this great. The New York stage is tomorrow, so I'm off to my flight, but it'll be awesome when we all meet up there again." He had a determined looked, and then smiled as he began to exit the shop.

"See ya then."

A late-night cafe was the only shop with lights on. It mostly catered to night shift security at the mall, but tonight, it had a different patron sitting at one of its tables, drinking a bit of coffee and looking out at the empty streets. His messy hair would normally be complemented by glasses, but since the year before, he had bought contact lenses on recommendation from an American he spent time with briefly in Hawaii.

Draped with a long coat, slacks and boots, Satoshi Kurosaki looked as though he had left his cheery farmboy persona behind. That was because he kind of had.

In the previous year, he had helped end the War of Liberation and save the sealed clans from eternal slumber with the help of four others, but during the course of it, he had experienced his most crippling loss ever, a loss that briefly sealed his former clan, Neo Nectar. The clan was saved with the rest thanks to the heroes, but Satoshi couldn't bring himself to lose them again, so he requested to Sephirot that they go their separate ways, at least for the time being. Seph wisely agreed on the condition that he still interact with Cray via another clan. This led to him acquiring Genesis, a clan toted as the major security unit of Cray, recently established. Fortuna was his new guardian, and she and him had a lot of time to interact while he was away.

He sipped his coffee, thinking about the trip. Hawaii had been something he had needed. While he was there, he was flown back to New York to accept an award for helping save Cray amongst the other heroes. His fame led to some extra money people wanted just to get his face on their advertisements or something. He knew he should've maybe said no, but the money was good and it gave him a chance to do what he wanted without repercussions. So of course he agreed and got the funds.

Now owning a vacation home in Hawaii and his own apartment in Rinjiku, Satoshi didn't really need a job of sorts, nor did he need to go to school. He had made it, in a way, and all it took was to suffer a crippling failure and accept success and acclamation, just as the other four heroes had.

Well, he wanted to think that, but now that he pondered it over, the four had been relatively quiet. As far as he was aware, he was one of the only ones that got approached for sponsorships and the like. Strange. Jellal's face would've gone well on that bottle of shampoo. He chuckled at that thought.

He nibbled at a cinnamon bun he had bought at the same cafe. Still warm, despite how long he had been sitting around. This place was nice. Hopefully it had good day hours, too, so he could come by with someone. He didn't really know who. Most of his time in America had kept him out of contact with people, even the ones he had cared about the most. Strangely, it didn't bother him, because he assumed that if people were concerned about him or had any interest in spending time, they'd've said something to him over the course of a year. They hadn't, but he didn't let it pressure him. His goal had been to spend time away from it all, and it worked for the better.

Well, sort of. There was still the matter of the voice.

On the night of his award, Satoshi experienced a crippling pain in his head. Fortuna said a dark force shoved her out briefly and that they would check over his brain to make sure nothing was the matter. As far as the scans Genesis did could tell, nothing damaging did, but for some reason, a brief period of a few minutes was wiped from their monitoring of him. It was as though that dark force had shut down their surveillance for the sake of doing something to him. What that was...well, that was a good question.

What Satoshi relayed to Fortuna was a foreboding phrase:

"The preparations are nearly complete. The game will begin soon."

The "game" was something Fortuna refused to comment on. This bothered her champion a bit, but nonetheless, it was on them to worry about Cray at the time, not him. So he kept it out of mind, despite having dreams about the phrase, over and over.

He calmly got up, thanking the staff for having him, and stepped out into the district. Now that he was home, perhaps it was time he did some investigatory work at the card shops he used to cherish so much. Not that they were open at the moment, but it wouldn't hurt to have a head start.

Isabella sat inside the popular coffee shop that was a counterpart to the New York's Starbucks. she was sitting down along one of the corner tables to keep from attracting attention. Waking up to news with the Underground King being hospitalized, she sent men onto the Umano area in order to make sure the war wouldn't get out of hand during his absence. She sipped on a grande caramel frappe while tapping her pen onto the table, creating a catchy beat. Her notepad had some lyrics written down, but it seems that she hit a point in which she had gotten stuck.

"Uguuu..."

If the ocean would rise then I would rise with it.
Do you think that waves could reach the skies?
Or is a mermaid forever stuck along the waters of the world.


The lyrics were actually looking good. There was just one problem.

"Hana-chan, I can fly. I can flyyyyyy. Lyrics are bad. Change pls." Labrador kept bothering her.
"Woof." Then her other Labrador was getting hungry
"Hana, I uh, have to go." Pacifica was too lazy to help.
"YOU GUYS!!!" her sudden outburst had also just blown her cover.
"Haha Hana-chan ggwp." Labrador laughed.
"LABRADOR-CHAN DOUSHITE!?" Isabella asked, as fans rushed towards her.
"Woof."
"Not you! Ahhhh!!!!" Rip.

Coffee. Haruka's answer to every problem. He ended up strolling in through the front door still holding his head, but the fresh scent of royal brew forced Sera to shut up as well. It seemed they were both fans of the coffee flavor and there was no way either of them were missing out on a cup. Haruka needed it so he could relax after a mental smackdown from Sera, and Sera needed it to cool off after mentally smacking down Haruka for his incompetence. His brain was whirring..

Ordering the biggest cup he could, he got himself a royal brew half-and-half, milk and coffee. Mmmm...

Looking for a seat, a sudden rush of people began to swarm a corner area of the coffee shop.. Is that? Yep. Hana got herself into what seems like a huge mess. Haruka was a bit nervous about going in that direction but ended up wanting to help his idol-friend in need. If she wanted it that is.

"Err, excuse me, excuuuusee meeee!" Haruka set his coffee down, pushing past a crowd of people. It was a tight fit, but Haruka managed to get clear eyesight of Hana sitting in a chair with a notepad and a doge.

"H-Hana, over here. It's Harooka." Haruka elongated the middle of his name for emphasis, hopefully grabbing Hana's attention since it sounded weird and that seemed to be the brand Hana had for him anyways. Weird.

It was a new day for Tsubasa, he had just arrived to the shopping district in search for some supplies for his apartment. On his way in the shopping district he hears some commotion coming from inside a nearby coffee shop. His curiosity naturally leads him to enter the shop and upon further investigation he notices two familiar faces.

"...Hold on..Haruka...Hana..?" he thought, as he began to get closer. "..Guess all the fame truly does have it's risks...Hana's learning that the hard way..haha"

Tsubasa realizes that the crowd is going insane over Hana, and amidst all that chaos Haruka is having trouble surviving among the crowd, so he takes a deep breath and leaps above the heads of the crowd, landing just in front of Hana's table his back facing the excited fans. With that he turns around and says,"..back...off...all of you." in a stern voice.

After his statement the crowd falls somewhat silent and this makes Tsubasa think,"...Isn't Neo supposed to be Hana's bodyguard...where on earth is he?"

At a new day, Seifer had gotten up, showered and dressed, getting ready to go shopping for food and stuff. Walking along the shopping district however, the male stretched and yawned, rubbing the tears from his eyes that each yawn had brought. He seemed really tired for some reason. Probably the result of a rather restless sleep. In any case, the brunette wandered around looking for a good place to buy groceries, though from memory he'd only been here with his group of friends to go clothes shopping the day before the tournament one year ago. Pushing that thought to the back of his mind, the tired looking individual continued to look around, noticing only Tsubasa and a crowd at first, then noticing Haruka and Hana. "What in the world is going on here... Maybe I should lend a hand somehow..." he stumbled over his words walking toward the group with his hands in his pockets. Hopefully his presence wouldn't start a riot, or a flash mob, whether in his direction or Hana's. Standing off to the side though he sighed quietly. 'What am I gonna get myself into now...'

Neo had heard of the chaos going on here at the district. He may have not been Hana's bodyguard anymore but he was still going to act like one.

"Hey, All of you give the idol some space!" Neo said with a deep voice

Neo then took out his deck and table.

"Or I will fight each and everyone of you and make sure you give Hana her space" Neo said with a determined look.

The following morning, Rosalia was actually refreshed given the new living situation. It wasn't the first night she spent in a house with Seifer in the bedroom next to her's, but it was the first time it was in a house that wasn't her parents'. So yeah. But today was the first official day living together, and after showering like her companion, she was following the male into the shopping district. Compared to his more tired composure, she was that obnoxious ray of sunshine in the morning. "So what do you think we need? Or, what sort of dinners do you want to make, or have me make? I'm okay with mostly anything that has chicken in it~" she asked Seifer, walking by his side with a small grin on her lips. She was about to ask another question, when Seifer started towards the rather large and obnoxious group. "What's going on here?... H-hey, Seifer, don't.. don't do something stupid.." More like, don't leave me by myself...

She then heard a familiar voice booming over the others, the redhead looking both confused and interested. "That sounded like Neo from yesterday... Wait, didn't he mention about something being a bodyguard for... oh what was her name... Hana?... I'm so lost..." Unfortunately, Rosalia sighed to herself, only able to wait outside the range of the potential mob-riot-whatever was going on. There was no way someone like her was going to get involved. The female moved back from the coffee shop, standing across the street just in case with her hands folded in front of her.

There was a good bunch asking for an autograph so Isabella pulled out her pen and started signing away. After awhile, the usual routine changed in to different kinds of request.

"Oh a quick selfie?" She responded with a smile with a quick peace sign, striking a pose. Then she shook the fan's hand as they happily headed off... Or wanted to stay for more. Signatures and pictures, the typical thing. She wss kind of having fun, but it was just the fact that she had to get back to writing her song which kept her from really getting into it. The crowd was basically endless. One guy asked her out on a date which was bold and amusing. He kind of walked off, disappointed when Isabella laughed in response. She thought he was kidding.

On the other hand, the coffee shop's business was booming. Customers came. In from left and right. Eventually Isabella was getting tired out, it was about time to make an escape. The escape route presented itself when a few familiar faces hopped into the crowd, stopping them and coming to her rescure. Sbe stood on a table and gave everyone a wave and blow kidd before jumping over all of them and sprinting into a nearby alleyway. "Meet me there!" she whispered and pointed to her destinstion as she passed by those who came to her rescue.

Post by: Jello on September 13, 2015, 07:25:33 PM
With a signal from the idol herself, Haruka was the first to make his escape out of there. He was easily the quietest of the group and hardest to spot, save for the ghost-white hair and red marks around his neck and face. Turning on his heels, Haruka was strolling out of shop, sipping coffee whilst pocketing his other hand. Out the door he caught the tail of Hana already down the road and turning left into the alleyway. Sketchy as it was, Haruka had no real reason to just not go.

"Hey." Haruka's voice carried down the alley straight to Hana. It wasn't going to attract much attention, however. Haruka had a really soft-spoken, sort of innocent voice. It's just the fact it managed, no matter how hard he tried, to carry out and hit nearly every wall it could bounce off. Not this time, considering there were only two and it wasn't going back out the way he came. He strolled down the pathway, finishing the last of his coffee and tossing it into a dumpster on the right.

"Good to see you again, Hana."

Haruka nodded to her, giving a small wave with his now free hand.

By the time Hana made her getaway from the coffee shop, the fan turned around to find her 'rescuers' had disappeared from sight. Tsubasa was already outside the door of the coffee, waving to his three friends, Seifer, Neo and Rosalia. It was clear that the three got caught up in the mess so he felt it fair to gesture to them to follow him towards the alleyway Hana referred to.

"I wonder what she wants to tell us,...matter of fact why did I jump in like I did that's Neo's job..oh well may as well see what this leads to." he thought, as he took his turn into the alleyway after Haruka and Hana.

"It's good to see you guys after so long,...and I believe we'll have three people joining us in a few." he said, gesturing to the path which he came from.

In a few was probably a stretch since Seifer was right behind Tsubasa, leading Rosalia along lightly. He made sure he wasn't seen or followed either as well as he stepped into the alleyway, his hands in his jacket pockets. He probably looked a bit different than he did a year ago to Hana and Haruka, what with the slightly disheveled brown hair, slightly taller frame, and the single red streak that seemed so vibrant in his hair for some reason. "That could of ended badly for you, ya' know." he directed the comment at Tsubasa, looking at this friend with half shut eyes. In any case... Turning his attention to Hana he gave a small smile. "Hey Hana... Been a while. Good to see you're doing well for yourself and your career... So it seems anyway."

Neo saw Hana run off and her fans run after her, thats when Neo stepped in.

"Ride the Vanguard! Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion!" Neo screamed

A burst of wind came and everyone ran off scared as they saw Vermillion.

"Well then, a job well done" Neo said.

Neo then caught up with Hana, Haruka, Seifer, Rosalia and Tsubasa.

"Whatsup guys" Neo said to his friends

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 13, 2015, 07:52:16 PM
It was safe to say that out of everyone there, possibly including the fans, that Rosalia was the most confused. She knew nothing about Hana and Haruka, let alone what they really looked like since she wasn't able to pick them out from the crowd. She had only met Seifer, Neo, and Tsubasa after all, and even they were a bit hard to see with the swarm of people. Thankfully, Seifer found her easily enough, though the redhead didn't say a word as they walked. She only assumed they were meeting more of his friends from before, and in the alleyway, it was a lot easier to see who was who. Sort of. "I-i guess we're going to go shopping later?..." she whispered to her companion, her own hands still folded in front of her. It was a habit when she was nervous, and meeting new people was hard enough for her. Rosalia didn't even know where to start, and opted to remain silent, and half hidden behind Seifer, her gaze lowered just a hair.

Isabella took a deep breath. Nornally others would be exhausted from that large jump followed by a 100 meter lufe or death dash, but she didn't seem tired out by it at all. It really was all the dance practice. Too good. She wsited for the rest to gather up. In truth, she really didn't get a good look at who they were other than  and Neo.

"Thanks guys!" she happily gave them her gratitude as they made their way into the alleyway.

Its been a year since she had seen Seifer, Tsubasa, and Harooka. Everyone certainly had gone through obvious changes, especially Isabella herself. It looks like she aged from the age of 12 to 18 in a year. Viewing her first big concert in New York is both a cute and awkard experience. She leaned towsrds one of the walls and relaxed herself, moving her hand through her bag to make sure she didn't forget the song she was writing.

"So uhhh how you guys beeeen? I've been... Haha.HA.."

Haruka himself was more or less surprised by the arrival of new faces- wait. Most of them were people from New York: Seifer, Tsubasa of course, Neo was a familiar face as well. One person stood out altogether, but he wasn't much to speak up. She'd probably be introduced anyways, Haruka simply kept to himself and leaned against a wall. Sadly, it was hard to not stand out when you look like an albino.

"Hmm? Oh, I've been normal. Weird dreams lately..." Haruka's voice trailed off at Hana's sudden laughter. Panicked laughter? Embarrassed laughter? Haruka was honestly slightly taken aback.

"Eheh..." Haruka forced laughed along to cover up the fact that something seemed amiss. Instead, he turned to the rest of the group. Turning to see them was a bit creepy since the light from behind made them all look like silhouettes of gang members or something. With a sigh and a shrug, he directed the question to the rest as well.

"Yeah, about a year or so. How's it been for you guys?"

Before Tsubasa could reply Seifer added to the conversation by telling him that his stunt would have ended badly for him, so he felt the need to respond, so he turned around and replied.

"..heh..you and me went across dimensions and fought a messiah..i'm pretty sure we can handle some fans." he said, in a calm and collected manner.

Nevertheless Tsubasa was glad that they were all out of the 'line of fire' with those fans, generally he would step out of these kinds of gatherings as it was not his style. Nevertheless he felt the need to tell Hana about what he thought about this incident.

"..I've been okay, trip over the year was a bit long, but it was well worth it, i'm glad you both are doing well for yourselves Haruka, Hana." he said, as he placed his hands into his pockets and began to lean on the wall.

"Though, Hana I sincerely suggest that you keep your bodyguards close, especially that one.." he said, in a joking tone, while pointing at Neo.

"Fair enough, we did indeed." Seifer gave an exasperated sigh before turning his attention to the female that was behind him. "Right, I've been ok myself. Though several... Less than pleasant... Events occurred over the one year. Needless to say I ended up meeting this one..." he flicked his thumb at the girl behind him, while turning his attention to Hana. "And ended up getting a Shadow Paladin deck. She and I are here to attend school. This is Rosalia by the way. Rose, this is Hana, one of my friends." he spoke nudging the red head slightly.

Rosalia felt a sadly familiar warmth fill her cheeks as she was introduced, the embarrassment blush just a few shades off of her hair and eyes. She glanced first annoyed at Seifer, but shuffled her feet enough so she wasn't hiding as much behind the male. "U-u-um.. He-ello.. I'm ah... Rosalia Mooncrest.. Seifer got me involved in cardfight, and we're gonna be going to s-school together. I'm two years behind though... I-it's nice to meet you." After managing to speak up for herself, part of her seemed to relax, if only because she was curious as she tilted her head at Tsubasa. "Is.. going across dimensions and some messiah an inside joke or something?..." Well, she wasn't around when everything went to hell in a hand basket a year ago...

Haruka was rather intrigued by the bunch that he was surrounded by. Haruka was easily amazed by others and this wasn't an exception either. The biggest change in Hana, seeming more less like just a girl and more like a.... woman. She was catching up to her sister quickly it seemed. Not only that, but everybody else seemed to beef up a bit, Seifer and Neo looking like young men than simple teenagers. Neo was even younger than Haruka, but could easily pass for an older brother. Tsubasa was attending a university this fall, and looked the part as an intellectual.

And then there was her, Rosalia. She wasn't so familiar to Haruka, and yet he's seen her before-

Oh right, she was across the street when he left the shop a couple of minutes ago. So no Haruka, she was not someone you've seen before really. However the anxiety was written all over her voice, nearly stuttering on every word she put out. Haruka chewed his lip and took his eyes off of everyone. It was getting to him again. The whole "staring" thing. He ended up looking at the sky instead, awkward silence filling the alleyway.

...

.....

.......

Crickets.

Haruka was done cloud-sighting and spoke up instead. This would be the rare occasion. Dusting off the shoulders of his shirt, he turns to the group, standing next to Hana. His vacant, childlike expression sort of showed through again.

"Well, who here is excited for high school, huh? Err, university of Tsubaka over here, but how about everyone else? I hear there's a culture festival and a camping trip and everything."

Haruka pocketed his hands, a small innocent smile forming. His old huge grins had been replaced. It's not that he wasn't as excited as he used to be, but after a year he felt too complacent. The fire wasn't as hot anymore, and neither was his attitude. He'd cooled to a gentle warmth, rather than an explosive blaze.

"I've only gotten back from my tour so I have a lot of catching up to do..." Isabella gave out a rather dramatic sigh then poked Neo on the forehead, "I just said you were off-dutyyy mister offffff DUTYYYYYY, that doesn't mean you're off the hook just yet. ALSO! The chief of the staff of bodyguards-san said you have a lot of catching up to do on your schoolwork too DogeBuster!" She backed away from him and gave a cute giggle, then a mischeaveous grin formed on her face.

Isabella coughed, "Tsubasa is hitting on the Messiah." Then she turned away and looked at Seifer and the new unfamiliar face. "Speaking of which..."

She observed her closely, eyeing her from head to toe. The mischeveous grin stayed as she leaned over towards Seifer. "Hey, she's kawaii. Good job, when'd you guys get together?"  She gave him a thumbs up. Then Isabella thought to herself. "She still isn't as cute as Mi-hime lol."

Rosalia's question caught Tsubasa somewhat off guard, he was certain that by now Seifer would have mentioned if not told her the full story about their struggle a year back.

"....I'll let Seifer explain tell you about it in more detail it can be quite long for a story, but don't worry the longer you spend with us the more you'll be kept posted." he said, giving her a slight thumbs up, as he turned his head and attention towards Haruka and Hana.

Tsubasa was glad that the mood began to lighten, allowing everyone to take part and smile. Nevertheless Hana did not waste anytime teasing everyone about their individual lives, but aside from that Haruka took the chance to also tease Tsubasa.

"..Haha..yea university is tough but it's not something I can't deal with...though..I guess this makes you a kid compared to me huh Mr. Senior." he said, giving a joking grin to Haruka.

At that moment he heard Hana's tease regarding Neu, "..What can I say Hana she's a real catch." he said, in a joking tone. "..Though what's this I hear about Mi-hime?"

At this point Tsubasa was smiling regarding Hana's teases as he was glad to have seen her grow into a more confident and happier woman, "..Good for you Hana.." he thought.

"I mean... I wasn't thinking clearly. Lost Kagero again ya know?" he replied to Tsubasa. However one being teased by Hana his face turned a very dark shade of red. "It's not like that Hana! We just happen to go to the same school now and her parents let me live there since I had no where else to go! I'm just paying them back!" he protested frantically waving his hands in front of him. He really wasn't helping his case but it probably didn't matter much anyway. "Gah... I need a drink..." he grumbled, still highly taken aback by the teasing that he had so foolishly thought wasn't going to happen. Now he knows better.

Rosalia's fading embarrassment was brought back tenfold at the teasing, almost missing Tsubasa's answer about the backstory. However, instead of waving her hand as if to defend any more comments flying her way, the female moved in front of Seifer, standing between him and Hana. Though she was visibly shaking, if just a bit, she didn't look away to hide her fluster. "I-i-it's not like that! W-we met and ju-ust got to know each other when my par-rents let him stay when he needed a place... I-it makes sense to become f-friends with someone that got you into V-vanguard, ri-ight?" If she were a cat, imagine fluffed up fur. That about sums up how Rosalia felt right now, yet still didn't back down. Instead, she shut her eyes, hands in fists by her sides. "A-a-and..

A

Kid?

Haruka looked at Tsubasa blankly for a good fifteen seconds before a very thin smile appeared on his face. Dark. Haruka typically gave off nothing but a bouncy vibe at this point, but something in him snapped. Just a little. His eyes that were once only empty of thought were now staring through Tsubasa's soul. Haruka would kill the man had he the means too.

"Right. A kid. Nice choice of words. Tsu-ba-sa." Taking his time to spell out the syllables was just about his way of spelling out Tsubasa's death certificate.

In an instant the bubbly behavior resumed as Rosalia and Seifer started defending each other in unison. Yep. Love birds, most definitely. It was so blatant that not even Haruka could miss something so obvious, but it reminded him of a certain somebody...

He sort of just leaned back against the wall after his subtle death threat to Tsubasa, thinking about Yukino for a moment. He hadn't seen her in quite awhile. Where was she? How was she doing? Maybe he should say something to her...

"hey, yukino, whats up? its been awhile... we should meet up sometime. i miss you. -haru" He sent that quickly before turning his attention to the group. Neo had asked what felt like a very important question. He had an answer for him as it happens.

"We should probably get out of the alleyway. People might think we're..." Haruka comically looked side-to-side, mimicking somebody who would be looking out for eavesdroppers.

"Gang members." Haruka emphatically whispered.

Satoshi left Card Capital and started to head in the direction of the late night cafe again. He had a bit of a daily routine now that he was back in Rijiku, and he was going to try to stick to it if he could. He noticed a gathering of people he recognized in the alleyway nearby---Haruka, Hana, Seifer, Neo, and Tsubasa---as well as a girl that was standing close to Cipher. She had protested just now that she was cute.

Well, that was far from the truth, but that was on her to find out later.

He made an effort to walk past and maybe not be noticed, but secretly he was curious what they were all up to, at least to be sure that they were all okay. He didn't want to leave friends in need, but he didn't believe that they were in the first place.

The time has come once again to visit the manga store for some brand new manga from all that backlog. As Shiki faced the stairs, a flashback appeared in his head, a flashback of how he nearly killed himself on those stairs a like two years ago, back durning his very first nationals. It was the very same flashback he's been having forever since that day. Very, very carefully he made his way up the stairs into the store and spent a few minutes in there. Then walked out with a bag full of those colorless comic books.

It wasn't time to go home yet though, he wandered around from shop to shop for food and other everyday life necessities. At some point his groceries looked like something a woman would get if you were to let her go into a supermarket alone for 5 minutes.

And he still wasn't done, going around the shopping district from shop to shop.

Bella gave a stiff nod, crossing her arms, standing tall and confidently.

"Mmmm, shy and timid type. Seifer certainly got a good catch... Oh right what's her name? She's definitely cute enough to be an idol and. O M G. that kind of living situation is like one of my animays! Totally cool! You two are set for laifu!!" She slowly walked out the alley, noticing Harooka trying to text someone. Easy assumption. Yukino. Overall things were great. She wasn't exactly sure what Mi-hime was up to at home, but she thought that inviting them would be a good idea. Having a get together like this was one of her own dreams awhile back. Now it wssn't that hard to just scoop up anyone to talk to and kill time, but these were the people who called her "Hana," not "Isabella." Not that she appreciates her fans any less, but being called by her actual name has that nostalgia factor.

"Hey guys I guess we can go eat at a fancy restaurant for dinner tonight. How about it? I got some spare cash well... Not really spare..." she scratches her head. The right word was most likely excess cash. Her disposable income was an average person's entire lifetime's worth of a wage. That's what it was.

So Neu is a catch huh?... Hana ran over to Tsubasa's side and pat him on the back. "On our way there please do tell us about why pink-head goddess is your type! I could've sworn she's a yandere... Didn't she try to kill you? I-mean, in terns of looks she does look like an actualld goddess of course, is that why?"

With everything happening at once, something in the back of Seifer's mind snapped a little and he breathed in softly, his eyes shutting halfway. Okay, it was time to get out of the alleyway with Rosalia and go back to shopping for groceries since it was getting kind of late, and they still needed to buy food. There was no hesitation in what he was about to do though. With a light wave to his friends he grabbed Rosalia's hand lightly to lead her out in case something else happened. "Text me if you guys wanna hang out again some other time. She and I have to finish getting the pantry at home filled, and we'd already spent enough time not doing that. Sorry Hana, I appreciate the offer for food though I'll have to decline this time. I'll make it up to you some other time." with that he lead the probably freaking out red head out of the alleyway and into one of the nearby stores to shop for food.

Tsubasa was unphased by Haruka's death stare, to him the male was just trying to look tough, nevertheless Tsubasa respected him enough to not push his teasing to far, until they became proper friends that is. At that moment Tsubasa turned his head towards Hana's invitation and agreed on the choice of going to a restaurant, just after Haruka ran out to text someone.

"...Huh..I guess i'll be seeing Yukino sooner than I thought." he said, shifting his attention back to Hana.

"...Sure i'll tell you about it all on the way." he said, giving a rather timid look to Hana's blunt array of questions.

At that moment Seifer grabbed Rosalia and made his way out of the alleyway, giving his regrets as he declined Hana's offer, it was clear that he had business to attend to, so Tsubasa just waved at the both of them as they left.

"..Shall we get going?" he asked.

Rosalia felt like she was going to explode, which was something not easily done. She opened her mouth to continue protesting to Hana, but saw her move over to Tsubasa instead. Then a hand touched her's, pulling her out of the alleyway. It was Seifer of course, the shaking redhead following quietly without much of a goodbye. Her companion took care of that, while Rosalia focused on calming herself.

Deep breath in, deep breath out. Left, right, left, right. Timing every fifth step with a breath, she started to relax. Seifer would notice the reduced trembling from her hand the farther they got away from the alleyway. To think these were the kind of people that Seifer was friends with... I-i mean.. they aren't that bad... Not that I really know any of them just yet... she thought to herself. Even after all that happened with Hana, she was going to give the idol a chance. Haruka.. she didn't really learn much about him, except maybe that he's a more quiet type? It was nice to see Tsubasa and Neo again though.

Finally relaxed, Rosalia looked to her companion, withdrawing her hand gently from his grasp. "I-i'm okay now... Thank you... S-so.. back to shopping? You never got back to me about what kind of dinners you'd like since it's just the two of us..."

"Alright, as long as you're actually ok. As for what to buy, I'm not really sure, but let's just get some bread to start off with... And... Hm... We need sandwich meats and cheeses to." he sighed looking around the store that they'd gone into. "Oh boy what have you gotten yourself into now Seifer..." he sighed once more strolling through the store grabbing things like chicken, beef, pork, ramen, milk, orange juice and so on. He had to get a lot really since they had nothing back at the house. Now that he thought about it though, Tsubasa had mentioned the incident that happened a year ago. He didn't think it really necessary to tell Rosalia at first since it'd happened and everything was different now. In any case as the cart was now getting full he scratched the back of his head looking at his companion. "Well... I got a lot of what I wanted but I kinda was just running on auto pilot... Is there anything you'd want?"

Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 12:08:06 AM
So Tsubasa didn't have fear instilled into him. Which is fair, considering Haruka isn't nearly as tall as him, or really built all too well and looks like he could still be a freshman in high school and nobody would know the difference. He's not particularly tiny, but lean is the best way to describe Haruka. After a few moments, he noticed the soon-to-be couple run off and out of the alley. Maybe they forgot something? How should Haruka know. He actually didn't really breathe a word to either of them since they got together.

But dinner was definitely something Haruka could go for. No response from Yukino... but Haruka had an idea. Whether or not it was a good one, he had no idea.

"hey shiki, its haruka. wanna go to dinner with me and some friends? fancy food 4 free, you down? -haru" With that, he clicked his phone shut and walked towards the remaining three, being Hana, Tsubasa and Neo.

"Dinner sounds great. Since er, Rosalia was it? And Seifer aren't joining us, would it be fine if a friend of mine joins us? You already know him I think, Hana."

Rosalia mostly watched rather than helped shopped for.. just about everything. They really didn't have anything at the house yet, so they had to get started somewhere. Seifer did good in picking out a lot of what they needed, but looking over the cart, the redhead crossed her arms in thought. "Hm... You got just about everything... except..." She trailed off with a small smile, heading over to an aisle where spices and such were kept. Her arms were full instantly with things like flour, sugar, baking soda, vanilla, and spices like salt, pepper, cinnamon, etc. She could ask to get everything in the store's selection, but she got what they would actually use more so than the odds and ends that would sooner spoil than be used. "D-do um.. Do any of your friends have allergies? I-i was thinking of baking or something to kind of make up for earlier... And who could ever say no to a fresh batch of cookies?"

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 14, 2015, 12:24:48 AM
Watching the female, rather dumbfounded he let out an exasperated sigh before shaking his head, making room in the cart for the stuff Rosalia was now carrying. "I don't think any of them do really. I hadn't asked them about it. I'll make sure though, but I'm pretty sure none of them do." Rest in peace Seifer if they did. He'd still make sure though. After gathering everything and walking to the front to checkout and pay for it all. Once everything was in bags, he grabbed two armfuls, leaving some for Rosalia to get as well since he couldn't carry it all obviously. "It's getting late so let's go on home and make something to eat."

"What do you think? I got things for a sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies. I wasn't sure what else to get, and any more stuff right now, we might not be able to carry it all home~" Rosalia giggled softly, taking the remaining bags. It was a lot, more so than she thought, but they just had to get it home and call it a night. After they eat, of course. "Well... I think we have everything. Let's get going before we end up dropping something from standing around." She felt a lot better after her outburst earlier, the shopping giving her mind a chance to focus on something else, even if in the end she thought about baking for her hopefully new friends. As she headed out of the store, arms full of goods, Rosalia glanced around, wondering if Hana and the others really did go out for dinner. "So.. Hana is an idol or something?... Must be nice, and kind of annoying if you have fans fawning over you all the time... Oh well. Let's get home~"

Sitting in the cafe again, Satoshi sighed. He really needed to stop avoiding people, but it was hard because he wasn't the same person as before. Still, it wouldn't kill him to at least say something to his Triad mate or his other Triad mate's sister.

Speaking of...

He looked over his contacts and found "Hana" on his phone. After much deliberation, and a few sips of coffee, he sent a message over to her. It took a long time to decide what to say, and it didn't work exactly the way he wanted most of the time, so he settled on the simplest message possible.

Hey.

A friend? Isabella never knew that Harooka had friends aside from Yukino, Butler-san, and coffee. Eggs is to Hana as Coffee is to Harooka. Sounds just about right. Any friend of Harooka's is a friend of Isabella's.

"Of course!" She nodded with a smile. The couple ran out of the alley to make out. Welp.

Since there were less of them, may as well take them to a nicer place. Isabella dialed up her driver as Harooka's friend went on his way. She did wonder what kind of person he was...

After calling up her driver, her phone did its text ringtone, "nico nico nii!"

It was unfamiliar to her, a name that she barley had heard of in the past year, Thirst-kun.

"Moshi Moshi this is Isabella desu hao yoo dooo? ISA Hope :3c"

The shopping has finally came to an end. Shiki could barely lift any of these groceries so that was his sign to stop.

And then, it happened.

His phone started vibrating all of a sudden, it was a text from Haruka. Nobody really messaged, or called him before so this was something really unexpected. Shiki jumped into the air with a scream, all of his hard earned groceries fell out of his hand and "spilled" all over the floor, he tried to get them back to his bags but he ended up tripping ad falling on the floor.

After some time, he finally took care of this mess and took out his phone. It was a message from Haruka.

It took him some time to reply, it was his first time really using this keyboard so he had to get used to it. But here it was, after like 2 minutes of making typos and correcting them.

"Uhh.. yeah, sure!"

Ofcourse he didn't even realize, he had no idea where to go, when to go, how to go, anything. But free food was free.

Staying low?.. Isabella had a concert in Hawaii, had she known he was there then they would've met up.

"Staying low? Hopefully its not because you did anything illegal like flashing. Word of advice though, you should stop wearing long coats if you have that kinda rep. You should also come with us to dinner becauseeee. Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind."

The driver had arrived in an all new sports car. Sweet ride bro. Now all there was to do was wait for Harooka's friend.

After a couple of minutes of sitting with Hana, Tsubasa and Neo, a text from his pocket.

Shiki or Yukino? Haruka was already beading up with anticipation. It ended up being Shiki's reply to dinner, to which he accepted. With a nod, Haruka texted him to head down to the alleyway where there was now a pretty noice sports car, next to the coffee shop. It wasn't hard to spot them, as they looked like sketchy gang members sitting outside of an alleyway, somewhat blocking view of Hana to keep fans from swarming again.

Any minute Haruka would be able to have his fill of food and more importantly...

"Coffee... Mmm.." Haruka started drooling a little.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: OverDrive on September 14, 2015, 01:21:37 AM
Tsubasa realized that Haruka will be bringing a friend along for the ride, to him that was a good sign to get to know Haruka and his friends more. Nevertheless he was not sure how to talk about Neu in front of Hana, he cared for her but he was not sure completely...his actions were usually done by his instincts rather than by choice when he is around her these days.

"...Maybe Hana will forget about Neu...either way I should probably just keep following along who knows what i'll see aside from the many mishaps that happened today...though some food and time with old friends and hopefully new ones would be nice." he thought, as he waited near the now parked sports car in front of them.

"...Not bad a bad ride hana." he said, uncontrollably.

"What's your friend like anyway Haruka?" he asked, his curiosity peaking.

Post by: Nobody on September 14, 2015, 01:29:08 AM
This time he was prepared for it, and no disaster happened. He read the message very, very carefuly and picked up his "luggage", like two enormous bags in his left hand, and a third which he carried over his back with the other hand.

Shiki made his way to the alleyway, dragging those bags along the floor as he was simply nowhere as strong to lift them up one bit. Once here he didn't really pay attention to these people, or the dope car. He just leaned against a wall and started resting.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 01:35:20 AM
Haruka's drooling immediately stops as soon as his coffee-induced trance ends as Tsubasa speaks up.

"Hmm...? Oh, oh! Shiki? He's er, oh..." Haruka stops for a moment, realizing that it was going to be hard to sum up what Shiki was really like in only a few words. In theory, Shiki was pretty average and seemed mostly human. Probably. The only thing was that he also had this awkward jumpy side and was sort of goofy in more ways than one. He was like a teenager that didn't know how to do teenager things.

"He's cool. Likes manga. Plays Vanguard, like anyone else." Haruka shrugs.

Right on time, Shiki makes his appearance carrying some groceries. He looks at the mass of bags Shiki brought with him.

"I said we're going OUT to dinner, not going to MAKE dinner!" Haruka starts to reprimand Shiki for what Haruka believes to be a lack of competence on Shiki's part. Haruka is such a baka sometimes. Really. If only he could break the fourth wall of life and see what people were doing at all times, it'd make life a lot easier on him and everybody else. But alas that wasn't exactly an option in his case. So he proceeded to grab one of the bags from Shiki and take it for himself, to which he found out that the bag he picked... might weigh more than Haruka himself.

"Ughhhhhh.... What did you buy?!"

Before Tsubasa could react properly to Haruka's burst in excitement at the arrival of his friend, he recieves a message from a good friend of his from back home.

"...We need to talk urgently..."

"This is ...Fei..." he thought. "..This can't be good."

Quickly Tsubasa immediately helps Haruka's friend with his remaining groceries placing them near the sports car and bidding his friends farewell, "..My apologies but something came up, hopefully we can do something similar later." he said, taking off at high speed and dialing his friends number. "...Just what could be happening?"

Without a second to spare the entire group, including Satoshi who was inside the cafe prior, all hopped into the fancy sports car and went to dinner. Hana had that cash money to spend so everybody was already pumped for food. Haruka wasn't concerned with what he was being fed, he just wanted a nice cup of coffee and something to keep the acidity from burning him up. Shiki was still awkward as usual but him and Hana caught up a little, as well as Satoshi and Haruka making a few mental notes and chatting about how things went over the year but left most of the important details for later.

Arriving at the restaurant, everyone besides Hana seemed to be a bit surprised. Haruka began to praise the sun and pray to based Kitchen Sailor as they all went in. Hana bought nearly the restaurant's worth in salad, as well as things in said salad, Satoshi got a simple steak and some water, keeping up his decent diet. He snuck a chocolate cake in the order at the end though. Shiki was more than delighted at the ordinary meal he got, but the chocolate cake made him pretty happy too. Haruka got a cup of coffee and a... well he didn't know what was really good so he got a sandwich with fries and ate that.

Good night overall.

He pretty much had fun, even if it was his time in such an event like that, and even though he done goofed here and there and probably made an idiot out of himself on more than one ocassion.

He completely didn't remember Hana from ealier, it was a looong time ago and she changed quite a bit too. But he was glad Harooka actually remembered that Shiki exists for this sort of things

"SHOPPPINNGGGGGGYAAAAA!" Ighanna jumped in joy as she arrived at the crowded heart of the town, the Hoshiko Shopping District (Whoever spelt disctrict pls change). A small crowd began gathering up at a nearby stage setup for part of the VMA awards. With famous people spreading across each region, the centre being America, then much more can enjoy the live shows and coming here today we have Demi Lovato performing "Cool for the Summer" which was one of her most recent top 20 billboard hits, no wonder it gets the privilege of performing in such a glamorous award. Soon the crowd squeals as Demi comes out of the stage in a sexy black swimsuit.

"Tell me what you want, What you like, It's okay I'm a little curious"
"Don't tell your mother, Kiss one another, Die for each other, We're cool for the summer" followed by some sick backing track as the crowd roars again. Then towards the end Ighanna herself appears on stage for a featuring remix with her dropping some sick raps.
"Get ready! You say holla, and then I say goodnight. You say I been gone, and I say well, time flies. You looking like, you looking like you been looking for me, like you been checking for me, do you got checks for me. Now I'll make you go crazy, now I'll make you go insane. I'm not your little red Corvette, you ain't gotta, don't gas me up, we about to go. Then we back it up I swear we 'bout to pull up like, Iggz" with Demi screaming out "IGGY!" before hopping onto her finale inflatable boat.

Right after that fun performance, Ighanna decides to go shopping for some nice treat desserts, opening Metatron to the world of culinary.

"Look at that eclair, and that profiterole, and that meringue! I want to eat them all but I'll get fat nooo!" Ighanna says as she stares her eyes through the elegant pastry shelf. Ighanna then thought, Metatron must be really bored as Ighanna herself hasn't cardfighted forever...but then her timetable was really busy. Hmmm she decides to visit Hana chan and the others so Metatron can at least talk to some other cards.

"Hmmm... now that I think about it, I really don't know where to go from here..." Noel said to herself realizing that not once has she gone to Rijuku, and even if she did, she never took a train or even walked around a city for that matter. Noel slowly walks around the train station and notices that there is a shopping district. She has never been to a shopping district before since everything was simply brought to her without any need to go out. Curiosity kills the cat right? What wonderful new clothes or even what kind of tasty food the shopping district has to offer? Noel can't hold in the excitement anymore and decides to go to it.

"Well... I guess I can take a look for a LITTLE while. It's not like I have a home to go to right now. Who knows, they might have some information on places to stay." I'm free... no one should know me in this town... I can be... myself...

Or its probably what Noel was taught as the art of begging for money. I guess this city is having rough times... I had no idea the normal life can be this rough...

He wondered if maybe coming to this country was the right idea especially since he couldn't seem to catch a break.

At the next day, Seifer, still not having explained what happened a year ago made his way to the shopping center to mill around. Was he actually ready to tell the red head about the War of Liberation? He supposed she deserved to know. Sighing he scratched the back of his neck continuing to walk forward. He'd left a note for her that he was heading out to pick up a few more things that he'd forgotten, like the paper towels. How had he forgotten those? He wasn't sure if she was going to follow him or not when she saw it but he hoped she'd be okay if she did. She would be most likely. Nothing really bad usually happened here. Yawning while walking the male sighed to himself once more. Yet again another troubled sleep. What was it with those dreams? Darkness with... This fear of loss... Loneliness. Whatever it was it didn't matter as much in that moment as he was to tired to really think. Deciding he wanted a drink he stopped by one of the vending machines, popping a few coins in and ordering one of the canned coffees, popping back the tab and knocking it back, drinking slowly. Breathing a sigh of relief as he downed half the can in one go he glanced around with half shut eyes. There didn't seem to be a whole lot of people around today. Probably wasn't as odd as it might normally seem but oh well. It was that sense of quiet that unnerved him at the moment. Opening his cell phone he scrolled down to Tsubasa's contact info and started writing up a text. 'You busy?' he sent the text putting the phone away and going back to walking around with a half full can of coffee.

As Sky sprinted outside looking for an opponent he wasnt watching where he was going he ended up smashing into a young man with brown hair. The impact knocked the coffee out of the man's hand and into Skys's shirt. "Oh man, sorry didn't see you there!" Sky screamed.

Rosalia went to bed the previous night with an empty feeling. She couldn't get an answer out of Seifer about what happened before they met just under a year ago. What happened with him and his friends? Something about a Messiah and traveling dimensions... Could that even be possible? And the fact he hadn't really explained anything yet just made her feel that much... left out. Compared to this group of friends, Rosalia was the weird one of the group. She didn't fit in, but.. it was just getting started. She would find her place with the group, since they were close to Seifer, but maybe when school started, she'd find a few more people she could hang out with. Just finding friends is hard enough though... or, making them anyways... Let's just take all of this one step at a time, she thought to herself.

Right now, she was wandering around the shopping district. She had gotten up a little while after her housemate, having seen his note, but didn't quite know her way around just yet. Rosalia couldn't find the store they had gone to previously, and with the day still young, there was plenty of time to learn the layout herself. If she desperately got lost, she could text or call Seifer later. For now, her phone remained in the pocket of her usual dress attire. Today's outfit was a soft blue fabric dress, with a cream colored vine and petal pattern. Somehow it seemed to fit, looking more like a beach dress than a Fourth of July spectacular. "Actually, now that I think about it, what other kind of stores are around here?... I only remember the grocery store from yesterday... Maybe they have a dress shop~" For someone who wasn't used to being alone, it was rather fun to explore for herself.

After being run into and losing the rest of his coffee he sighed in irritation, his left eye brow twitching. Crushing the can in his hand he dropped it into the nearest trash can, grabbing some paper towels out of a nearby dispenser and bringing them back to the male that had just run into him. "It's... Fine. Just watch where you're going next time. 'Kay?" his response wasn't bitter or angry, but he was mildly irritated now. "We should probably get you another shirt and get that dry cleaned... If we don't hurry it'll stain, even if we dry it off with the paper towels."  Well now this was going to be a problem but he quietly took out his phone, scrolling down to the R contact list and bringing up Rosalia's name. 'Hate to ask but could you pick up the paper towels? Someone ran into me when I had coffee and it got all over their shirt. I'm going to help them out since it was my coffee. If you can't, no big deal.' he hit send at the end of the text, sending it to Rosalia before motioning to the clumsy male who had bumped into him.

If there was anything Rosalia could find, it was a dress shop. Or a clothing shop with dresses. Whatever the case, she was looking up and down the aisles with an experienced gaze, her fingers brushing over certain fabrics to test their comfort. It was her phone beeping that finally pulled the female out of her tunnel-vision of clothes, seeing it was a text from none other than Seifer. Huh... Oh well. Hopefully it wasn't hot coffee. 'Yeah I can get them. Can you send me the address/directions of the store? I can't find it earlier... Anything else you want me to grab? Oh, and do you need some of the towels for the person's shirt? Not sure how much it'll help.' The redhead replied quickly, then savored the last few minutes she'll have before receiving the impending text from her housemate. Just a few more minutes to find something nice, but she could come back here whenever she wanted. In the meantime, she browsed hairbands and other accessories while waiting.

'I've got the towels covered don't worry. Thanks.' at the end of the message he typed up the address for Rosalia, which probably wasn't very far from where she already was, and with that, Seifer lead Sky to the nearest dry cleaners, both hands in his pockets. "Seifer Leo. I'll... pay for your dry cleaning I guess. Just hurry up and get it started." he told the other male, crossing his arms across his chest.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 14, 2015, 09:35:54 PM
Rosalia didn't bother with a reply, but was almost sad at how quickly she got Seifer's second message. She wanted to do more window shopping, or actually try things on, but settled on buying a hairpin for now. It was a rather large butterfly piece made of shiny, white, light-weight metal. She ripped off the tag as soon as she was outside the store and set it in her obnoxious lengths of red hair. Guess that was the perk of just having so much hair; large, girly accessories like the butterfly seemed to fit perfectly with the mass of hair. Though in reality, the butterfly was about the size of her fist.

Looking over the address Seifer had sent her, Rosalia finally got onto her task of the paper towels. Thankfully, she didn't have too much trouble finding the grocery store, and got a pack of two paper towel rolls. "Well, they're light, so I can continue exploring for a while... Its not like I'm carrying around three gallons of milk or something..." the redhead mused to herself. Outside the store again, she glanced at the time while letting her feet randomly guide her way through the district.

Sky's now wearing a Hawaiian shirt that had been forgotten years ago by a customer of the laundromat according to the service's owner. At first Sky was kind of grossed out but he decided it was better than sitting around shirtless. He then sat down and started to look at Seifer trying to sum him up. It was then that Sky saw something that piqued his interest. Seifer had a black deck box in his possession. "You're into card games I see." Sky said pointing to the box.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 14, 2015, 10:36:44 PM
It didn't take long to find the dress and accessory shop again. After a changing montage and accessory hunting, the redhead was leaving the store with two new outfits and a handful of shiny things. The bag with the paper towels was safe in her clothing bags as Rosalia started to wander again. Actually, just wandering wasn't much fun anymore. She was alone, yeah, so there was a sense of freedom, but... she was lonely. She had her fill of "freedom" for the day and pulled out her phone again. The female didn't have to consider who to text; even though she had met others, she didn't have a chance to ask for their numbers. Not that she really earned that right just yet. She barely knew anyone... So pulling up the list of "S" names in her phone, Rosalia started typing. 'Hey, Seifer. You still with whoever is wearing your coffee? Where you at?' After hitting send, the female stopped at a vending machine to get herself a bottle of juice. Shopping made her thirsty...

As the brunette's phone buzzed he pulled it out to reply to the one who he knew had texted him, while still regarding the male in front of him. "Yeah I play card games. Vanguard." he replied before going to text Rosalia. 'I am. We're at the Dry Cleaners. I think it's actually right across from a dress store.' he hit send, giving her the full address just in case before putting the phone away and looking at Sky again. "Why do you ask? Other than having seen my deck case."

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 14, 2015, 10:52:10 PM
Rosalia glanced around for a few moments, and though she did just send her housemate a text, her phone buzzing in return made her jump. "Jeez... I must be tired..." she muttered to herself, sighing. At least the juice would keep her awake, hopefully. Looking over the address though, she was surprised to see how close her companion was. "Huh.. So close and yet so far away..." Tossing the empty juice container into the trash, redhead headed off.

It took maybe thirty seconds to go back to the dress store she just left, then across the street. "Heyo, Seifer~" she said happily as she walked into the cleaners, shopping bag in hand and butterfly adorned in her hair. She stopped a second later when she saw the new face, though that should have been expected. The female took a small but deep breath, relaxing herself to keep the smile on her lips. "H-hello. I guess you're the one who's shirt got stained?.. Well, it could be worse. My name is Rosalia Mooncrest. It's nice to meet you~"

Walking around the shopping district, Noel lost track of time after trying out the different tasty treats she never thought existed. I'm so gonna gain weight after today but who cares! Totally worth it! she thought after munching down the last sweet red bean bun

Noel continues walking down the district when she heard a girl's voice saying "Heyo, Seifer~"

That name! Could it be?! Noel instantly stopped and turn towards the direction she heard the voice coming from. It's coming from that laundromat! She instantly starts rushing towards the laundromat and when she gets closer, she sees two guys and a girl gathered there.

When she gets there, Noel notices the two guys holding deck boxes similar to hers. Vanguard fighters? she thought. Noel then decided to lay low and watch from a distance to see what would happen next and challenge the person she has been searching for to a cardfight...

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 14, 2015, 11:26:58 PM
Even at the start of the fight, Seifer didn't really seem like he was in the fight to begin with, more like drifting through his thoughts. It showed in his uncaring guards and plays. Didn't help that he checked so few triggers against Sky's multiple trigger checks, but then again the fight didn't mean much to Seifer, even as the sixth damage hit his damage zone. Stretching and yawning before gathering up his cards, he put them away in his deck case he stood waving. "Good game." he spoke before sliding his hands into his jacket pockets, noticing Rosalia and walking over. "Hey, sorry for leaving you by yourself this morning and asking you to go do errands for me. Accidents kinda happened though. Anyway, I owe you so... If you want we can go shopping wherever you'd like."

Rosalia felt a light fluster fill her cheeks at the question. She didn't think of her name as odd, but it probably wasn't common either. "Y-yeah, I'm not from around here.. I just moved to Rijuku recently." After that though, there wasn't any time to talk as the fight started. She was used to seeing her housemate wipe the floor with anyone, but this fight didn't feel so.. enthusiastic like it was when he fought Tsubasa the other day. But it was over soon enough, and the female smiled again at the brunette walking over to her. "Eh? It's okay~ I got the paper towels, and I kind of went shopping myself.." she admitted with an embarrassed smile, holding up the shopping bag. "I got two dresses, and a bunch of other things.. oh! And this~ Do you like it?" Rosalia pointed to the silver butterfly hairpin in her hair, the metal hairpin about the size of her fist in the midst of her massive curls.

Post by: Skyzlimitz on September 14, 2015, 11:48:42 PM
"Y-yeah, I'm not from around here.. I just moved to Rijuku recently." Sky believed he heard Rosalia say that and knew it'd be rude not to acknowledge that, but he did not care. There was something eating at him. It had been bugging him during the whole fight. His opponent didn't seem to care about the match. Rather he seemed ...bored! "Hey..... What the hell was that? Do you call that a fight?!" Sky said rising to his feet frowning. "I don't know who you think you are, but don't act so high and mighty when someone challenges you and gives it everything they have! I mean there I was coming at you with all my passion and you seemed like you couldn't care less. If this is how the Japanese play vanguard then maybe I shouldnt've come here." Sky said his eyes tearing alittle. He stared at his Blaukluger and said. "Can you imagine how Mordred feels? He's your avatar right? How do you think he feels to have someone who couldn't care less about their fights riding him?" At this moment his clothes had been finished. "Thanks for paying for the shirt." he mumbled putting on the now clean shirt and walking out the door avoiding eye contact with Seifer. "It was nice to meet you Rosalia, I hope that if you do play vanguard you're more passionate than that one." Sky said sticking his thumb towards Seifer. He then walked out the door and saw a black haired girl staring inside the cleaners. He could tell by the way she was gripping her deck she had watched the fight that had occurred. "I wouldn't waste your time, he's no real fighter." Sky said and then crossed the street.

Rosalia jumped as Sky started to go off on a rant. Rage. Vent. Whatever it was, she was a bit surprised at the passion behind each word. And yet... She felt it wasn't right to yell at anyone like that, let alone Seifer. She frowned and nodded curtly as Sky spoke to her directly before taking his leave. She didn't, however, hear him address the other female outside. Instead, Rosalia gripped the handles of her shopping bag tightly, taking a deep breath as she moved one hand to brush a familiar, purple colored deck box at her side. "Don't pay attention to anything he said, okay?... I.. I understand what happened I guess..."

She lifted her hand from the box to her eyes, rubbing away the tiredness with a small yawn. "I'mma head home, okay? If.. you wanna take a walk or something, you can. You know where to find me.." Rosalia paused, hesitating to turn and leave, then gave her housemate a quick hug. "Just be careful, okay? And don't stay out too long~" she said brightly, trying to leave on a happy note.

On her way out of the dry cleaners, the redhead passed another female, glancing at her briefly. Maybe she was going into the cleaners to pick up some clothes? It wasn't her business, Rosalia simply waving slightly to the stranger before heading down the streets. Destination: her home, and a nice long rest.

The shop was actually more crowded today than the last time they were all there. How to get an idol into a coffee shop without people noticing...

Probably not going to happen. He simply walks next to Hana, trying to walk at her pace. Looking around he comes to notice that there are actually more workers here too, serving biscuits and coffee and donuts. Sweets were a thing more recently around here, Haruka was sort of hoping they did that over at uncle's little cafe too. Taking the lead, Haruka opens the door for Hana and sort of gestures her to come in.

"After you." He looked around the area, making sure nobody was stalking Hana. That happened sometimes apparently, according to Neo. Neo had taught Haruka a lot about idols and how hard it was to keep them from being followed or making sure they're safe. Sounds difficult. Poor Neo.

How Harooka was acting reminded Isabella of Dogebuster. Hopefully he got his paycheck.

"Sankyuu!" she walked through thr door and turned, waiting for Harooka.

"What do you usually get? I always get frappes cause hot drinks aren't my kinda thing. Frappes feel like shakes and ice cream and I really like those." She took in the aroma of the cafe, "smells like late night song writing..." she muttered under her breath.

Post by: Jello on September 16, 2015, 06:37:57 PM
"Hmm... Royal Brew. It's a rich coffee made extremely dark, typically meant to be flavored with honey because it tastes pretty awful otherwise." Haruka ran his hands through his hair for a second, trying to figure out what he wanted this time around. He figured going with the standard would work today. He wasn't in the mood for much else.

"Yeah, I'll do a Royal Brew half-and-half with two drops of honey, hmmm, that'll do." Haruka walked over to the back corner table Hana was at a couple days before, letting her sit down. This was probably the best place to not get spotted, considering the circumstances.

"Funny you mention, I can't stand cold drinks. Soda is good, but only because it fizzles so much. I hate stuff like water and all that..." Haruka was actually very much against cold drinks because they all made a really weird cool feeling down his chest when he drank them, like he could feel the water move down him and that made him want to throw up. So he just grew up preferring stuff like hot chocolate, soups and coffee. Speaking of, he sort of wanted a cup of hot chocolate now...

"Hmm, I'll probably do hot chocolate instead." He switched his order and returned his attention the idol girl in from of him. It was weird addressing her normally after spending time in her celebrity life. Haruka now knows the fatal lifestyle that comes with fame. He never wants to go down that kind of path, ever.

"So,  did you have fun today?"

"See, I'd think of you as the cold drinks kind of guy with all those burns. I'd avoid anything hot if something like that happened to me ahhh." she stretched as she sat down on the same table that she had been on a few days prior.

"Soda? Not allowed in my diet, the again neither is ice cream, but idols sing about it so much that I need to eat them for lyrical inspiration. That excuse always gets manager-san good." she laughed.

"I always have fun with being an idol, eben when its hard, its what I've always wanted. Even when Bermuda Triangle was gone and I no longer felt like shooting for this dream, I still did my daily practice just out of pure habit." She moved the chair on the other side of the table, offering Harooka to also take a seat. "This is what I want, so through the thick and thin, I love it. People say its bad, but if I've learned anything, there'll always be something bad going on... At least even though I go through hardships now, its because I am doing what I love..."

Post by: Jello on September 16, 2015, 07:18:25 PM
Haruka had completely discarded the comment about his burns because that was a really touchy subject and talking about it just made him feel awkward. They felt foreign on his skin anyways, despite knowing where they're from.

However when Hana brought up if she had fun, she went a lot deeper than Haruka had expected when he asked. All he was interested in was her day, if she enjoyed the fights or Drake's company or something but then it was completely different. She went on to explain how she gets to do what she loves everyday despite the problems and barriers she faced within the past couple of years.

Haruka sat down as well, awaiting the orders.

"Hmm... that's brave of you, Hana. Persevering is really important, I hear. Y'know, constantly working to get better? It's impressive." Words weren't coming to Haruka the way he wished they would. This was a marvelous inspiration he had, but he wasn't sure how to express it.

"I'm glad you kept pursuing your dreams. You definitely are an idol after all!" Haruka laughed a little, leaning backwards to stretch out his spine, letting his head roll around to work the kinks out his neck. Gosh, he was stiff. Definitely needed to start doing some yoga or something.

Post by: Hope on September 16, 2015, 08:15:37 PM
Isabella noticed her that Harooka had avoided the comment on his burns. She remembered hearing bits about it being talked about between him and Yukino years ago, but she was sleepy. In all honesty it was the first thing she noticed about him, well under the scarf and also beyond Darkyusha. She felt that she didn't really get to know him until she really got to know about it. Though, she is glad that she was able to inspire him.

"Do everything the best you can I suppose! Even making coffee!" Her coffee had arrived, and she went to go retrieve it.

Upon coming back, she looked at his burns again, then right back up at him. "So why don't you wear a scarf anymore?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on September 16, 2015, 08:28:47 PM
Haruka pulled up the collar of his shirt. Hana was starting to stare and he wasn't sure how to proceed talking about that normally around her, especially in a public place like this. He was just getting into the habit of not scarfing up every morning but he was already reconsidering wearing them again.

"It got constricting, I guess."

That was Sera's excuse anyways. He said that it made it hard to breathe in the host body, when the second entity already got a 40% of the oxygen supply, while the main host took the other 60% to stay conscious. It's also why Haruka doesn't run and jump as much as he used to. He's easily fatigued by other bodily resources being drained by Sera.

"I mean, it's not like it was covering up much anyways."

Haruka pointed to the remaining burn across his left cheek, and on the collarbones. It was obvious that the fire had made a mess of the boy, but the scarf at least covered the ones on the collar. The only person who knew about the burns was Yukino, and even then Haruka still felt a bit estranged despite her knowing. Telling Hana would be easier since it'd be the second time around. Lucky for her though, he wouldn't be stripping off his shirt to do it, should the need arise. Knowing they exist at all should be enough of an explanation as to why all of what happened, well, happened.

"Why...?"

Post by: Hope on September 16, 2015, 09:56:59 PM
"I just thought that it was because you got more confident or something." She took a small sip from the green straw, keeping her focus on him.

"Well its just that you seem really shy and awkward, but you go ahead and do rash choices... bravely? You act like you're strong." Isabella started to follow the scar up across his body, wondering how recent that it was that he got it. Mom-san would probably be able to figure it out in an instant. "I don't care to know where they're from, since I can see you're uncomfortable about it, but hey, having confidence isn't bad... even when its a touchy subject isn't that bad right? Well, I just asked about the scarf thing to see if you've gotten more confidence, and I hope you have."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on September 16, 2015, 10:08:37 PM
Confident? Rash? Brave?

Haruka was having trouble putting those traits to himself. He took a large gulp of coffee, nearly done with his first cup. He laid back for a second, using his hand as a rest for his chin. He tilted his head and looked at Hana for a second.

"I-I'm not sure what you mean."

Haruka wasn't sure whether or not that was a compliment. At least she wasn't prying out his past memories right now. Maybe another day, or if they had more time to talk about it. But the evening had approached and most of the day had passed. He sat up, thinking for a moment. He had decided that he definitely was more confident than he used to be, and we would be more so if that last bit was with him.

"Thanks Hana. Nice of you to say."

To be fair, Haruka wasn't sure if she meant any of it, but he wanted to believe that she was being honest with him. When his anxieties disappeared, he was rash, brave, and confident. That was the sort of person Hana believed him to be. And to Haruka's knowledge, that sounded about right. Maybe it was just that missing push he needed. Being told he was all those things was definitely a boost to his ego, but Haruka's ego was pretty tiny as is so all it really did was make Haruka smile a bit and look down.

Can't maintain eye contact still, but accepting the, er, compliment(?) was a step forward in its own right.

Haruka's phone was sitting on the table still, and in order to conquer his jitters, he needed something to do or someone else to be here to take care of that. Shiki! The only guy more awkward than Haruka. Perfect candidate.

After the events of what happened at the park came to pass, Seifer made his way to the shopping district, specifically the coffee shop. Not noticing the others there though he walked to the counter to order, getting something really simple, and that had caramel in it. After paying for his drink he took a few sips of it turning around and finally noticing Haruka and Hana nearby. Tilting his head slightly he decided he should walk over and at least say hi. Waving he stopped just a few feet away from the pair, noticing Haruka texting someone. 'Maybe that Shiki guy from the park yesterday? ...This could be kinda interesting I guess.' he thought to himself. "So uh... You guys seem to like this place alot." he spoke at length to Haruka and Hana, remembering this was where he saw them a few days ago when he and Rosalia were going shopping for groceries.

Somewhere, in a galaxy far far away- well not really.

Shiki was busy doing things that no man should know of, when his phone started going buckwild again, obviously because of a text message from Haruka. Not like it could be anything else, really.

"Alrihthg, on my way/" he replied, the typos being a result of him being simply too frustrated with this technological abomination of a keyboard and just went with it.
There wasn't really anything to take with him either, he wears only one kind of clothes and he didn't care abotu his looks anyways, so off he was.

He got lost in the district for a while, not even realizing that he was actually just walking in circles the entire time. But he got there.. eventually.
As Shiki approached Haruka he noticed he wasn't alone like he expected. Infact, it was a girl(!). Could it be? Did Haruka charm yet another girl and was on a date and he called Shiki just to show him his supreme powers? That man sure is great.

Shiki knew, he needed to learn from Haruka, and achieve the status of Pimp Supreme.

So he waved at them and stood there while saying hi and all that stuff.

A possibly familiar redhead made her way through the shopping district, running on pure excitement for once. She couldn't wait to tell Seifer about her fight with Neo just now! All thought of what she asked Neo about before the fight, however, was completely out of her mind. Her one goal was to find her housemate, but running took a lot out of her. And though she was wearing a dress with leggings, and comfortable flats, Rosalia was already needing a drink. She looked around for the closest vending machine, got a bottle of water, and sipped at it as she now slowly headed along the sidewalk. Seiferrrr... Where are you?... She checked her phone again, and still no message from him. She sighed and continued her search, stopping outside a coffee shop to throw away the now empty bottle.

And right nearby, she recognized Hana and Haruka. Rosalia hadn't seen Hana since the day in the alley, and she remembered Haruka watching her fight with Noel at the park yesterday. But, walking over to the pair was none other than... "Seifer!~"

People were showing up by the dozen. Not literally but Haruka liked that expression.

Shiki showed up after sending a rather, poorly-typed text message, but he was here nonetheless. Haruka would have to inform Shiki about the free coffee from his work the next day. Would Shiki actually be able to fit in to that kind of environment though? It wasn't like StarGATEBucks where it was pretty chill and laid back, but it was a really classy sort of place. Nothing huge, but they did things up so it would be a bit strange for sure.

The other one being Seifer, who apparently just ordered his own coffee for the evening. It seems not only is Haruka's favorite place a coffee house, but so is everybody else's. Not weird at all. All things considered, Haruka waved to the both with a smile, inviting them over. Hopefully Hana was okay with the new arrivals.

Also another one. Er, Rosalia was it? She seemed to be looking for Seifer considering that was the name she just kind of called out.

"Wow, and I thought three was a crowd..." He waved over to her too, inviting her to join the group. Seems StarGATEBucks just got a lot busier this evening.

Sipping a bit more of his caramel coffee, Seifer glanced at the red head that had just called his name. She seemed excited about something, so he'd wait to see what she had to say. He didn't remember seeing her this excited about something except when he got her into the game but... "What's up, did you get a new dress or jewelry or something?" he asked the approaching red head, waiting for her response.

"No no no! I got those the other day," Rosalia answered nonchalantly. Well, she was a girl, so she was always excited about getting new outfits and shiny things. But this didn't stop the redhead from jumping in place next to her friend, talking to him as if nothing else in the world mattered. More like, she was just too excited. "You know Neo? Of course you know Neo. We fought! And his Gauntlet Buster had four crit! But I won! I won and I couldn't even ride into Luquier! I used breakride twice, Ava into Ava into Ava! And I got a double draw at the end! You should have seen it! It was a lot better than my fight against Noel!~"

The brunette stared for a moment before grinning, placing his hand on top of Rosalia's head and rubbing lightly, almost like petting. "Hahaha... that's really great Rose! I'm proud of you." he smiled, removing his hand from the top of her head and finishing his coffee. She'd gone off and fought someone else on her own. She really was growing a bit, and coming out of her shell more. That made him pretty happy, since that's what he wanted to see from her. She was always so shy around other people, so it made him sad when she didn't make any other friends besides himself.

Isabella spaced out for a moment. It seems that a group had a gathered up, or at least, three more people. Something about fighting. She was in the mood for one... somewhat.

"Hey is anyone up for a game?" she asked.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 16, 2015, 11:35:20 PM
Rosalia giggled and shut her eyes at the rubbing-petting. It was like she was a cat adoring attention, the female having stopped jumping in place. "It was a lot of fun~ I can't wait for next time. I promised him we'd have a rematch someday," she grinned, looking up at her companion. Even if she didn't discover any new friends today, she was able to consider Neo more as her friend, instead of a friend of Seifer's and therefore someone she just had to meet. When someone else spoke, however, Rosalia tilted her head at Isabella. Or, well, Hana, as that's how she was introduced before. "O-oh, hi Hana~ Sorry, I didn't notice you there..." the redhead admitted quietly, shifting so that she moved away a step or two. Mostly, she didn't want Hana to go off about saying she and Seifer were a couple... The thought, however, still made Rosalia blush deeper.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on September 16, 2015, 11:37:42 PM
So... Rosalia and Seifer are a thing, right?

"Couldn't tell ya." Haruka said to himself, indirectly talking to Sera.

He sort of just stared at the weird interaction between Rosalia and Seifer, looking at their... petting thing. Haruka was genuinely baffled by the motion, since if that was a couple thing to do, he must have not been a really good boyfriend to Yukino. He never really pet her, or at least if he did he doesn't remember it. It was mostly kissing and like, lap pillows. They did that once, right?

No Haru, that didn't happen. That was a dream.

Stupid subconscience...

Haruka ignored Sera's comment and just watched in all the glory that was skinny love.

"Good to see you guys too." Haruka chimed in, waving, with a small grin on his face. Just making sure they didn't forget another three people were watching. Hana seemed really spacey but wanted to fight so Haruka instantly went stealth ninja, leaning back in his chair as far as possible and sliding down, hoping not to be noticed by Hana.

No faitos, please and thank you.

Seifer seems to be on a date. Well, it was nice of him to come by to say hello and greet them, what a true friend.

"Hello, Red(Rosalia)-chan, how's living with Sliffer(Seifer)-kun?" Isabella asked while giving a wave.

Her frappe had melted, she had been distracted for so long that her frappe had melted. She had failed her frappe, what a shame. The smell of song lyrics must have distracted her.

Seifer sweat dropped realizing a few of his friends were watching, though he'd just kind of went on auto pilot when he pet Rosalia. It was more like a big brother thing but... Oh well. In any case at the mention of a fight, the male raised his deck case after tossing away his empty cup. "Sure, I wouldn't mind a fight Hana... And... did... You just call me Sliffer?..." he asked, staring at her with a confused expression.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 16, 2015, 11:48:45 PM
Rosalia tilted her head, realizing she wasn't being teased like before. Instead, she was given a nickname?... "Red?... Am I just a color now?..." She played with her own hair, which was still in a giant, thick braid from her trip to the forest earlier. Well, she couldn't complain with 'Red' as a name. It fit her, after all, especially when her face was usually a few shades darker than usual. She did, however, giggle at Seifer's nickname, poking his shoulder. "Good luck with your fight, Sliffer~"

Once again, people started to gather all of a sudden. Haruka's power was really something.

Shiki was just sitting here, not really sure what to do.  Coffee wasn't really his cup of tea. But well, he stayed anyways, mostly looking at these people hoping to all that is holy that someone will strike a conversation, perferably one that'd last. He stretched, rubbed his head and turned around, all making him look like he has ADHD or something.

But there was something not really right, as he looked at Hana he couldn't help like he knows her from somewhere, he had no idea where, but he felt that way. As a dumb person, thinking wasn't really his strong side and this caused him to stare at her for probably longer than necessary.

Parking the Oblivion inside the parking lot and placing it in a secure place and bringing his helmet with him. Hikaru walked over to the elevator and pressed the desired floor button. For the first few seconds he was listening to the dreaded elevator music. The doors opened and he stepped out of the elevator, allowing other people to pass through.

He was looking for a place to drink, he then saw it and his mouth went agape.

"No way...I can't believe it. Why hasn't Starbucks sued this place yet!?" As he is looking at StarGatebucks. Hikaru then marched inside to see any other similarities to the chained cafe.

Haruka completely was at a loss. Nicknames too?

Also Hikaru was here. Wait. What in Yami's name?

Things were just getting crazy now. Everybody was showing up here at this point. StarGATEBucks was getting close to closing but now that wasn't going to happen. Tons of people were already here and were busier now than they had been all day.

"Hey, Shiki, are you okay man? You look kinda jittery. Wanna talk or something?" Haruka was commenting on how Shiki seemed to be moving around a lot all of a sudden. Maybe he had drank some coffee by accident and got super hyper? That would make sense. Except Haruka would like to think he was actually just thinking. Maybe.

Haruka pulled Shiki over with him to Rosalia to watch the fight.

He turned to her and asked the question he and Shiki were probably wondering all evening.

"So how did it all happen?" Haruka asked, head tilted.

After somewhat of a close game with a clog of grade threes in his hand and with Seifer being on five damage early on, Raging Form dragon's limit break finally won the day by bringing a sixth damage to Hana. It was something of a spectacle as Seifer himself had a blast fighting against Bermuda Triangle. It was something really new, and interesting to fight against. In any case Seifer smiled leaning back against the chair he'd sat in at the start of the fight. "Well, it's a pretty bland story but, after I got home from the tournament and everything last year, Kagero was taken away from me once again. Kinda uh, ran away from home and somehow got a Revenger deck. It's kept me together pretty well since then, and it's also how I met Rosalia." he explained, remembering something mentioned about it mid fight. Well either way he owed it to Hana to tell her about it really. "In any case, Bermuda's are really cool and cute. Fits you rather well. Labrador is really scary to. I'm really glad I had a perfect guard for that."

PR<3ISM has always had trouble with Shadow Paladin, it was no different this time. It was unless she got the right cards to start off with that she would be able to do well against it, which instead were replaced with a Pr<3ism-I Vert, Mi-hime's avatar. It felt like it somewhat a curse for something she's been doing. It happened all day today at Shop Handsome as well. She scratched the back of her head, a strange feeling guilt entered her mind, yet she couldn't put a finger on what it was.

"You're lucky you did!" She laughed, trying to shove a strange though from the back of her mind. She suddenly moved her eye to Haruka, but it hit her harder when she did, causing her to instantly turn away.

"Shadow Paladin is as scary as always ahhh..."

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 17, 2015, 12:32:24 AM
Noticing the glance at Haruka but not turning himself or letting on he saw it, even able to see a hint of... something? What was it? He could tell something was bothering her and his face reflected it slightly, but he wasn't going to say anything or pressure her about it. Instead... "Well, other than Neu's Shadow Paladin deck a year ago, this deck is the first one I'd seen. Then again... You guys had to deal with others playing with Shadow Paladin before I even came along... What was it like, if I can ask?" he spoke with an even tone, tilting his head to the side a bit. He was worried about Hana, but he wasn't sure about how to go about it, or even if he should bring it up at all. Well, that thought was quickly pushed to the side though as he shook his head a bit to make himself think otherwise. Hana was his friend, maybe he could try to help some how? "...Hana, is there something bothering you?"

Post by: Jello on September 17, 2015, 12:40:27 AM
Haruka looked over at the two fighters after the battle. Something was... clearly off. Hana wouldn't look at him. What was up with her? Maybe she was feeling sick or something. An Espoir family disease, just like Yukino!

"Hana, are you alright over there?" He tilted his head, starting to walk toward her.

"Good fight Seifer, and so that's how it is? Huh... I thought you and Rosalia moved in together because, uh.. well." He just shut his mouth, shook his head and shrugged. He wasn't going to intrude into that topic any further. That would just make things weird and Haruka wasn't about that life.

Once finally getting into Hana's general vicinity, he sort of tapped her on the shoulder, peering over her shoulder.

"You okay there?"

Post by: Nobody on September 17, 2015, 12:51:43 AM
Shiki shook his head the moment Haruka mentioned his name, he wasn't even aware of how long he was staring at Hana but atleast that's over now.

"Huh? Oh, I just move around or do random stuff if I can't think of anything to do really." he replied and went on to spectate the fight. He didn't really get excited about it or anything, he was just watching. It was a nice way to pass time too.

While others were all worried about Hana, he just tilted his head in slight confusion. This wasn't something he could really understand, feeling bad after a cardfight? What's even the point of that.

Satoshi sipped at his coffee and frowned. Not only was it not nearly as good as the late night cafe a few blocks down, but something appeared to be bothering Hana. Something about...Haruka?

He closed his eyes to think about what exactly it was that would make Hana uncomfortable around Haruka. Did something happen to Yukino? Was Hana possibly...feeling things for Haruka despite her attraction to...what was that girl's name...

His head was swimming trying to figure everything out. It had been so long since he had to remember certain people and it was really taking a toll. He rubbed his temples with his open hand, trying to remember. He swore it started with a "M," but...

Satoshi shook his head. <Best not to think too much about it, I guess...>

Looking back on the few days, she's really done nothing wrong, at least. Things have felt right so nothing should be bothering her. "No, it's nothing. Thanks for the concern though! Also about Red-chan and you meeting tha-" She laughed to hide what was going through her mind while waving her hand and covering her face. Her abrupt pause was so she wouldn't go any further, Sliffer-san seemed quite serious about his story about where he first encountered his girlfriend deck.

Feeling a tap in her shoulder, she almost instinctively looked towards the direction but stopped herself. "Yeah I'm alright..."

Coming into the coffee shop and proceeded to grab his order. He spots Hana and Haruka with a few others he doesn't recognize. Sucking it up he goes over to them.

Then he saw what they were doing and decided he didn't want to be apart of it. "This looks like something I shouldn't interrupt.

Seifer sweat dropped again, getting a feeling he kind of knew what Hana was thinking though when she said was alright he didn't believe her. Though, this time he wouldn't push it. "Uhm... Hm..." glancing at Haruka for a moment he tilted his head before looking back at Hana. "Well... We're friends, so... If you need anything don't hesitate to ask ok? Though I'm not sure how useful someone like me can really be..." he laughed sheepishly, scratching at the back of his head.

"Er, what's up with you?" Haruka finally just took enough initiative and walked in front of her. Obviously something was going to be wrong if she turned around again. However now with a different point of view, he noticed Satoshi across the coffee shop looking around. Why wasn't he coming over here? With a silent nod, he gestured for him to join the group.

Then Seifer offered advice? What was up with everybody today? Was Haruka really that helpless? Well, at the very least he knew somebody had his back and that was definitely a nice feeling.

Back to Hana, he realized she was just sort of staring forward, not really looking at him. To make it easier to see, Haruka kneeled down looking up. Apparently looking down at a person was a lot easier than looking up.

"So, err, what's up? Upset about the frappe? We can buy another if you want one..." Haruka scratched his the back of his head, chewing his lip. He had no idea what to do at the moment and the only thing he could think was maybe helping her out with that? Maybe all the girlfriend talk got her thinking about Miyuki or something. Maybe she had to get back to her about now...

"If you want we can go home? I mean, we've been out all day today. I bet you wanna see Miyuki right about now, huh?" He smiled, nodding, clapping his hands together as if to assure that this was the answer.

It seems like she was causing quite the scene, and Harooka was asserting himself even more. There was no use trying to look away again. She looked down at him, he was really close. For some reason she was feeling something that she didn't want, mentioning Mi-hime made it feel even worse. It was more or less a burning feeling in heart, and a pounding in her mind with a desire to be set free. For some strange reason, she felt like she wouldn't be able to face Mi-hime. It didn't matter, she didn't want to cause trouble and she was strong now, so she kept looking at Harooka, a bit of tears started forming in her eyes followed by some more the more that she looked at him. Her hands were reaching our for him almost instinctively, as if they wanted something, she was almost beginning to blush as well. She did her best to snap herself out of it, it wasn't right. 

"I'm okay," She answered with a weak smile, wiping her face. "Yeah!" She was strong no, she didn't need anyone to protect her or comfort her. At the very least she just wanted someone around to love and make her feel loved. She sighed deeply and looked back up. "Thanks Harooka. Haha, sorry minna... aghhhh Drake is really having an influence on me!" She laughed.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on September 17, 2015, 01:33:31 AM
Haruka... Are you seeing what I'm-

A red-faced Hana, already streamlining tears was starting to hold out her hand, nearly touching Haruka's face. He was frozen still for a moment, not sure whether to feel bothered or attached by the person in front of him. What was going on tonight? Hana eventually snapped back to what he was earlier today, a pretty focused idol, right? But Haruka didn't buy it. Not even for half a second. He stood up, pocketing his hands and sighing a sigh of relief.

"Good... good..." With that problem out of the way... for now, Haruka decided to call it a night. Quite a few thoughts were on his mind as of those past few minutes and he needed to figure some personal things out. Before heading out, he shot a glance at Hana, opening his mouth but promptly shutting it. Their conversation wasn't over, but it wasn't appropriate here. Another day.

He saw Hikaru on the way out, ordering something himself. With a pat on the shoulder, he left him with the words, "Keep fighting the good fight."

With that, Haruka exited the store, breathing in the cool autumn air. School started tomorrow, and so did his job. Not only that, but he had unanswered questions for Hana and he needed to talk to Shiki too.

"Y'know Sera, things aren't ever really calm around here... are they?"

Not really, no. Sorry.

Haruka smiled, laughing a little. His breath was barely visible in the air.

Seifer watched the scene unfold scratching the back of his neck uncomfortably. Did he just end up coming here as a third wheel on accident? Though when Haruka left he watched quietly tilting his head. What was going on anymore? What did he miss in that year time span? Looking back at Hana he chewed on his lip for a moment glancing half way down and going into his own thoughts. 'So much changed over the past year. Everyone that was my friend before is still my friend and yet... Just, everything feels off. ...Or is it just me... Maybe it's me? ...Yeah it's gotta be me. I was weird before now, and I guess that hasn't changed much. ...But maybe it has? Ugh...' he mentally argued with himself for a moment before shutting his eyes and let out a soft sigh. 'It doesn't matter what I want. What I feel. Just what everyone around me wants.' he finished his mental battle with one line that settled how he felt. He didn't matter. Not in the slightest. It was everyone around him, his friends, that mattered. Compared to everyone else, he felt like his suffering had been insignificant. To that end he resolved himself to living like he wasn't worth much in the long run, though he wouldn't really say that out loud to anyone.

As Harooka walked out Isabella put her head down on the table, her arms crossed.

"I' tired, whew!" She shut her eyes for a moment. Would she be able to go home tonight and face Mi-hime? To sleep in the same room as her like she always has? Circumstances have become pretty weird. She decided that it was best if she simply relaxed herself and spaced out for a bit.

At the end of his mental struggle Seifer sighed outwardly running a hand through his hair before standing up and pushing the chair in. Walking to Hana's side for a moment he placed a hand on her shoulder to let her know mostly that he was heading out but he wasn't going to go without saying something. "I'm going to go walk around for a bit before going home. If you need me, you've got my number so you know how to reach me. Take care Hana." he spoke softly before walking out of the coffee shop with his hands in his pockets. Quietly humming to himself, he made his way along the alleyways and such, coming to a peculiar dark alleyway. Feeling adventurous, he went down it coming to what looked like a dead end. Was it really a dead end? Knocking lightly at the far end of the alleyway he shrugged, before turning around and walking away to go explore other places.

Work, work, work. Haruka spent his entire evening after school serving coffees and sweets and biscuits. His uncle was right. Women do like a man in uniform, er, a suit in this case. He was given generous tips from a lot of the customers around the shop, but majorly the girls, who all happen to be wearing Hoshiko uniforms. Weird, did they not recognize them?

Oh right. Haruka was in lower level classes because his intelligence level is actually pretty low and so he doesn't get classed up with the general student body. He tends to find himself in the near "special" classes for making only small mistakes, but those small mistakes are just barely big enough to make blemishes across his grade book.

Ughhhh. I swear I'm not that dumb.

The evening came too quick, Haruka's shift was continuing for roughly three more hours, so til close. First day of work and he's already working a full shift... what was his uncle thinking? Hours passed rapidly as Haruka clicked on his MP3 Player, mixing brews and making coffee in the back. He tended the coffee bar mostly, making different brews and cream mixes for whoever the paying customer coming up was.

While trying to get the club in order within her head, Isabella had to also come up with a few new lyrics, or at least a song concept. Due to her last album's success, the demand for another is increasing by the moment and it was best to answer the fans before they tired out, with another qualitg album of course. She fixed her hat and dusted off her school uniform as she walked to the register of the coffee shop. She ordered her usual frappe.

It was weird that she recognized the person who making the coffee, tilting her head to get a better view.

Is that?...

Indeed it was. She pretended to not notice and went ahead and sat alone at her corner table, waiting for the order to finish up. "Right... Song lyrics..." she took out her notepad and quietly began to write.

Tsubasa and Noel continued their way towards her hotel, but Tsubasa still felt bad for the young girl, she seemed really upset and still showing some signs of tears even though he gave her a tissue. As they continue walking he passes by a coffee shop, and recalls how often he would visit these in New York.

Turning around he addresses the young girl, "Listen, how about I buy you a drink or some coffee..." he said.

"You need a solid beverage to make you feel better after what you went through." he said, as he opened the door and entered the shop.

Upon entry the two take a seat near the counter and Tsubasa notices something familiar about a person working there. "Hold on...Haruka?" he thought, as he got up from his chair and went to say hi. "It's good to see you again man." he said.

Haruka is unable to make coffee very well right now because he saw Hana when she made an order and he knows that she'll either have his head for not being at the gym earlier, or she'll be really sulky and not respond to him whatsoever... But Haruka's guilty conscience was already kicking in. He made sure to make her coffee perfectly, the way he had prepared the one other time. It was awhile ago, one of the times he stayed at the manor right after the clan sealing. She said it wasn't bad... But he had to do better.

And so he did. The perfect frappe. He carefully set it on the tray, ready to serve. Normally he'd call people over when their order is finished, but he wanted to talk to her privately this time...

He nearly flipped the whole tray and frappe when Tsubasa spoke up to him though. Good thing Haruka was completely out of arm's reach for the tray or the coffee, so it was no big deal. Just a scare.

"Eheh... Tsubasa and uh.. Seifer's sister, right? Good to see you guys... phew.. Scared me man." Haruka smiled and nodded.

"If you give me just a moment, I'll have somebody take your order. I have to, uh, be somewhere." Hastily picking up the tray, adding a little cupcake with it, he carried it over to Hana with her frappe and stood at the edge of her table in the corner, bowing with the tray in his left hand palm.

"Your order, Miss?" Haruka grinned, head bowed. It was kind of funny, he felt like one of the servants preparing something for the Princess.

Noel followed Tsubasa into the coffee shop for a small pit stop before going back to her hotel which shouldn't be more than a few blocks down the shopping district. Noel looks like a mess. Clothes dirty from being on the dirt back in the forest unconscious and with an almost empty deck box tightly wrapped on her arms, hugging it almost. Losing her deck was very devastating for her since it was the first thing that gave her an identity and with it gone, she felt like a nobody again. Nothing to help her be identified once again.

Noel and Tsubasa both sat down at a table for two near the window of the coffee shop. One of the waiters there called her by "Seifer's sister" but all Noel did to confirm it was give him a little nod as she kept looking gloomy. Her face looked virtually lifeless and lost. The fact of not knowing how long she has been out was killing her. Hours? Days? There was nothing to really confirm it except her lost deck.

"I guess... I'll have a mint hot chocolate..." Noel said quietly, slowly she is beginning to come back to reality and actual be a little more sociable. "I bet school started already and judging by the time, the school day probably ended..." Noel sighed and some color started returning back to her face, she was beginning to calm down and accept what has happened more and more. "I'm also gonna need a new deck, I still want it to be Royal Paladin though."

Walking across thin ice, passion burning through it alone..
It melts with my heart and now..
I'm falling...-


Isabella continued to write, wondering exactly where the lyrics came from. She had no general idea what the beat would be. Rather, it was more like some sort of makeshit poetry writing for the sake of letting her feelings loose. Since becoming an idol, she's gotten into the habit of just writing poetry, then whatever was good made it into a song. Aurora's Flower was a narrative that she thought up and wrote which was then turned into a song. She rested her head on her right hand, her elbow acting as support by resting on the table. She was spinning her pen on her left hand, making it move fluidly between her fingers.

When she looked up, Haruka was there. The first thing she could do was just let out a slight laugh, covering her mouth with a the hand which held her pen. "You're really letting butler-san leave his mark on yoy." Isabella reached for her frappe and a cupcake which she didn't order. "Something extra...? This frappe looks well made, lot like something from someone who's been working all day... No, its just cause we're good friends of course." She repeated this in her head, thinking over it. Taking a sip of her frappe, it certainly felt like something special, a taste of heaven. She couldn't seem to shake the idea of why he was doing all this for her off her mind.

"Whoau, thanks for the "hook up" as they say... Or at least Drake did um..." she smiled at him, "Perfect like Butler-san."

Haruka smiled back, pulling the tray up to his waist and fixing his tie. He had trouble with it all day, considering his uniform didn't actually require one so he always just went with the dress shirt and jacket, never the tie. Ties were something Haruka was particularly fond of, just got tired of wearing after a decent period of time.

"That good? Yes!!" Haruka threw up a fist in rejoice. He was pleased with himself and Hana's reaction to the coffee. That's great... But what was that about hooking up? He didn't mishear her, right? He misheard her probably, something about a hook up, as in the free cupcake. Probably. He took a quick glance around to make sure his boss wasn't watching. Talking to the customers for too long got him in a lot of trouble apparently, he learned the hard way earlier with a rolling pin to the back of the head.

Haruka crouched down to eye-level with Hana. He found it just easier to talk to her that way. But the second he got a clear look into her eyes, without the hat blocking the way, his heart pounded for a few moments. Definitely not the reaction he expected. After that awkward encounter at Shop Handsome, he swore he'd be done with this...-

This isn't the same feeling. Not exactly. Haruka was consciously thinking as he looked at her, not just blanking out at her body or something. There was definitely a different... atmosphere this time around. He gulped, sort of chewing his lip. A slight blush rose to his face. He couldn't maintain eye contact any longer or he might just lose it, so he turned his head shakily. Just so Hana was out of eyesight.

"S-S-So, is e-everything to your liking, Miss?"

Tsubasa retrieved the orders from the cashier and returned to the table, he wanted to certify that this girl is really Seifer's sister, he has never seen her before not even living with her brother. But before he could do that he notices Hana's presence inside the shop so he gives her a wave as he continues heading back to his table.

"..Here you go Noel." he said, handing her, the drink.

"..Are you actually Seifer's sister?" he asked. "How come I have not seen you before now? i'm a friend of Seifer."

She wasn't really sure what she was seeing, she was just drinking her coffee when Harooka tried to get a better a look at her eyes. With a brief moment of eye contact, she felt something pushing her back-...forward? Either way it was a strange force that was pulling on her to go do something subconciously. His face was turning red like ketchup on an egg and she made her want to move towards him even more.

Ketchups compliment eggs...

She shook her head and adjusted her hat. "Y-Yeah.. It's good." Looking back at him, while moving her hat around, she noticed his suit. The contrast with his hair looked nice and - no. Stop. There.

"Do you guys treat all customers like this? Gr8 R8 M8 8/8. Tell your Uncle this is great haha." she laughed.

Noel gets her hot chocolate from Tsubasa. She puts the deck box on the table and grabs the cup with both hands and blows out the steam a little since the hot chocolate looks like it was just made. "Thanks for getting me this. You honestly didn't have to, and I mean that." Noel takes a sip and the warmth of the drink seemed to have revived her more and relaxed her. Now with her mind at ease and calm, she begins to answer Tsubasa's question.

"Yes, I actually am. Well, I'm his half-sister. We just share the same mom." She said, "As for the reason you haven't seen me, let's just say my family isn't as united as how a family should be. I think I should leave it at that. Saying more... it could cause a lot of trouble between Seifer and I. I would like to go to a cardstore after going back to my hotel so I can replace what I lost if that's ok. You don't have to come along, directing me would be good enough. I'm sure you have other things to do right now."

G U L P.

Haruka was nearly swallowing a rock at this point. She was moving closer... closer...

Oh god. Please. Stop. Hana. S t o p!!!

Haruka broke a sweat just from being so close to her. Then again looking at her eyes made him notice how well her complexion was working for her; she even made the school uniform look amazing on her-

Okay Haruka. We need to talk.

Haruka just breathed out a sigh, and laughed a bit at her comment. His uncle actually did not make him treat customers this way. Normally a small smile and a bow was good enough but he had to go the extra mile for his frien-

For Hana. Because Haruka was really hesitant calling Hana that right now. A friend. There were complicated emotions between the two right now and he definitely wasn't able to make a lot of sense of it. But right now felt okay. Some sort of weight was on his shoulders, but was slowly lifting. Responding to her inquiry however...

"No, uh, only you." Haruka didn't mean it that way exactly. He implied people like her. Yukino would get similar, if not better treatment... But she wasn't here right now.

That's right. Yukino wasn't here anymore... Who was here with Haruka after everything? Hana. Who had helped him through this past year's grief with only a couple minute song? Hana. Who was the one staring at him right now with eyes that seemed to light up when they saw him? Hana. Everything was connecting but all in the wrong way because Haruka still felt attachment to Yukino. She obviously didn't die off of the face of the Earth. She was somewhere but-

Instinctively, Haruka did what he didn't imagine he'd do. He reached out for Hana's face, mimicking what he had once done with Yukino, caressing her face. His eyes delicately tracing over every detail of Hana. It was weird... he used to treat her like a little sister himself, despite them actually being closer in age than him and Yukino. This was a different feeling. He even moved a little closer.

G U L P: Part II.



Why wasn't his boss saying anything? There can be no way he hasn't noticed this by now. Idiot manager.

Noel explained to Tsubasa about what her situation was regarding Seifer, to which Tsubasa did not try to interfere too much with since he just met her, his duty right now is to help her reach her destination.

"I did it because I wanted not because I had to, I understand what it's like to feel lost or confused, not many things can help in such situations though I will say I am intrigued by how you ended up there in the first place." he said, not specifying a question but rather implying one. "I will help you get where you want so no worries, but if you feel like you owe me something then cardfight me when you get your cards back."

Before she can respond Tsubasa turned around slightly and suddenly stared in disbelief, he saw Haruka getting closer and closer to Hana..."...What is he doing..?" he thought.

Well again, thanks. I'm still trying to figure out how I ended up there. I can't remember anything that made me pass out in the middle of the woods." Noel replied back irritated that she can't remember a thing. "I'll gladly have a cardfight you once I rebuild my deck. Right now, I would like to go back to my hotel, I just want to go to my room and rest up and clear my mind some more. Maybe I can remember something once I get good enough rest." Noel said getting up with more energy now but noticed Tsubasa was looking behind at two people getting close to each other

"Til recently I didn't know what the feeling was either, but I know that you definitely are special to me and that you have a lot you can probably teach to me."

"I-I really don't know how this works either, I just saw this in movies. I would like to ask you to go out with me... and we can have fun adventures and stuff together..."

'I love you Hana'

'I don't think I can teach you much, but sure, let's have fun together.'


"Let's have fun together.." Hana whispered under her breath.

Memories of the day that she confessed to Mi-hime flowing through her mind. She felt Harooka's touch on her face, giving her a warm feeling all over, something that she couldn't believe. There was no response, she just let it happen. She encouraged it, that was a more accurate way to say it. She was able to move, she still had control of her body, but even consciously she moved closer towards him.

This past years has been the happiest in my life.
Beyond perfect... Really...
I have no reason to complain.
Actually, Mi-hime has taught me a lot.
Like how I had to work for her, worrying every minute about her.
How I wanted to show her to the world, but I couldn't.
How we promised to have fun but our one year anniversary was spent doing nothing..
...well


Moving.. she just moved, even her hand even moved down from her hat and held his hands as they caressed her face, the one that was adored throughout the world, in all the live shows, the one that she promised would really only be "Hana" to Mi-hime and Mi-hime alone. She grabbed his hand and let him continue on as he pleased. Her expression felt blank, but she was smiling. She didn't understand that she was smiling, but this was it, just the past few days was something she could be proud of. Listening to music under a tree, being mistaken as a couple by the public and facing the crowd together, holding each other's hands in a coffee shop, and teaching each other things through personal experiences. This was all fun, all very thrilling. This made her heart beat almost as much as when she preformed on stage.

Wait... this is wrong...
But... it feels right. I've always been taught to follow my heart.
My heart really doesn't know where its going either...


"Looks like you know how to stir a lot of things up, just not coffee," she joked, trying to keep her idol persona in tact. He was looking at her, but it seemed different from all the other times. She wasn't doing anything to make him do it. Han- Isabella wasn't trying to get anyone to look at her right now, it was actually the exact opposite, but it felt good. "Keep looking at me," she smiled at him. Eventually she felt grasp onto her.

'Yes, performing with you would be very nice!'

"I'm sure there's a spot for you, you're really talented. I'll never leave you behind, I've been thinking of you the whole time and how I could help you too actually."


She turned away, looking downwards and adjusting her hat to cover her face. Sitting back on her table, she picked up her pen and started scribbling, tear drops falling onto the paper, making it obvious that she was crying despite her efforts to hide it using the hat's brim.

Like a flower in the raging waves,
Lead the way, and overcome the wind.

Turning back his attention to Noel, Tsubasa takes out a piece of paper and writes some directions and some addresses. He hands her the paper.

"No need to thank me, here are all the directions you will need to get to the places you referred to.." he said.

"Let me have your number should you need anything, you clearly did not have someone else to ask for help from when I found you." he said, taking out his phone.

"Ah, I been through these streets before. I should get back in no time. And uhh, I guess? Why not." Noel said and gave Tsubasa her number. Noel just made her first friend since arriving at this city. "Thanks a lot, I'll talk to you later to schedule that cardfight, take care!" Noel said and walks out after leaving a very generous tip at the table that even Tsubasa would get shocked at seeing if he looks down at the table at how much was left there.

Tsubasa AF +3

Everything had turned and twisted and warped and Haruka's perception of reality became mirror-imaged. Everything he was trying to escape, pain, hurting people, the idea that he was alone in all of this... All of it rushed back. Haruka felt an ugly warmth... no, he felt hot. He was already starting to swelter. His hand was came back to him, the boy was silent. Hana was in tears because he had done something.

Despite all the looks and the smiles and the foolish fun they had shared in the past few days, Haruka was obviously not what Hana needed right now. No matter how much she wanted him or just despised him for what he was as a person, he was only left with a couple of choices.

Why is it every night you leave this girl in tears...? Do you not see you're only hurting her?

Haruka stood, taking the tray away leaving the cupcake and frappe on the table with Hana. He looked up and forward, tightening his jaw as to not let anything spill out. He only wanted to say something quickly, and be concise. Hurting her anymore might cause a freak breakdown and that's not what he wanted. Hurting anyone ever again, was not an option.

He couldn't press forward with what he was doing. Not on his own free will. If Hana couldn't provide complete consent-no, if she wasn't willing to do it herself, Haruka would feel nothing but guilt for pressing forward. In fact, the gravity of his guilt was weighing down on him again. The heat was rising. Something was reaching back to him from the inside-out.

"H-Hana... My apologies." Haruka clears his throat. He was out-of-line. This was what she wanted, and she didn't want it anymore. Haruka had made a decision. Until Hana could tell him what she truly wanted. With words, not a wink or a smile or a look. He needed proof. Without words to know, Haruka was pushing boundaries that weren't his to bend and break.

"Before I go... is there anything else you need?" This was normally an obligatory line for people. But he was saying it out of true sincerity. If he could at least right a little bit of the wrong here, he would.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on September 18, 2015, 12:46:43 AM
"Before I go... is there anything else you need?"

Hana answered, "Yeah, don't go." She lifted up her head to look at him, and she didn't have a hit of sadness on her face. She was smiling. Hana noticed that he was kind of acting awkward now, maybe he misunderstood something. Looking down on her paper, obvious tear stains ran across it. She concluded that that's what made him worry. She wiped her tears with her sleeve, some of it still flowing from her eyes.

"I'm not crying because I'm hurt silly, these are tears of joy. I'm actually glad..." her eyes shone brightly, and she looked at him warmly to give him confirmation that she really was happy and not just trying to make it seem so this time.

The excitement in her heart was definitely something to be cherished. Placing her hand on her heart, she took a deep breath. This was the kind of feeling that she's been yearning for a year, maybe her whole life. Could Mi-hime have given this to her? She didn't know that for a fact, but what she did know was the Harooka was doing so in this present moment. Hana held out her hand, inviting him to sit down next to her and hold it. "How much longer do you have to work? I can stay here for awhile since I'm still writing some songs." It really wasn't right, but at the same time it was. Hana was just following her heart the same that she did in order for her to become an idol, moving mindlessly like she did when she did her daily practice despite Bermuda Triangle being gone. There was no difference between subconscious and conscious action here. She accepted the fact that it was wrong, that she wouldn't be able to face Mi-hime or even Yukino, but another part of her beliefs said that this was the right thing to do, the part of her that kept on past the storm and helped her become an idol. The inner conflict within her mind was like a rope being tugged back and forth by her two moral belief systems, and eventually it just broke. One was taking over right now, another would in another moment. She was operating on auto-pilot, she stopped thinking the moment that she finished scribbling her lyrics on her notebook.

"Ha-ru-ka-kun..." She smiled and called out to him in a teasing manner, removing her hat and letting the light shine on her, giving him a full view of her face and hair.

Tsubasa recorded her number and began finishing his drink, he did not wish to continue watching Haruka and Hana, regardless of what they were doing it was none of his business to interfere, all he could do was just go to the place he wanted to be at the moment.

"..I should probably check up on Neu.." he thought, as he got up looking at the bill.

The site of what Noel did truly surprised him,"heh..It's good that she did not have her belongings stolen.." he said, as he began to make his way out of the coffee shop.

"...Good luck you two whatever you choose.." he thought, referring to Haruka and Hana.

"E-Ehh..." Haruka stood there, with a sort of look of confusion on his face. After a few moments, he closed his eyes, took one, two, three deep breaths. Opening them, a beautiful girl sat in front of him, calling out his name with a hand for him to hold. This was a familiar feeling. Comfort.

He took her hand, and sat down next to her. At first it felt foreign, probably because it wasn't Yukino's. Normally he felt a sort of chill that counteracted his heat, but it was different. Not cold. Not hot either. Just...

Hana. It was simply her, and that was all he knew. He interlocked his fingers in hers and sat there for a moment, looking at her. There were nearly thousands of questions running through his head and and all he could do was be there for her. Well, that's not all this was. He was here partly for Hana... but he wanted to be here too. Of his own volition. While his heart was torn in so many different directions, as long as they didn't go to a.. point of no return, Haruka felt as thought nothing was wrong here. Solace for two.

"Hey... Hana. Mind if we try that again?" Before she responds, he places his hand on her face again, running it down the side of her face, brushing hair behind her ear. It was cliche, but it was cute and Haruka liked it, so he went with that. Despite asking for permission, he sort of just did it on his own.

"What are you thinking right now?" Haruka was curious. More than curious, he needed to know at this point. Haruka's thoughts were clear; I want to be here with you right now. But Hana was having a mental tug-of-war and Haruka was completely unsure of what her true intentions were right now. What did she really want?

Seifer walked into the district with Rosalia, buying each of them ice cream with the money Satoshi had given them to splurge on ice cream. Really it was way to much and Seifer held onto the change to give back to Satoshi. The brunette and red head however chatted until they were done with the ice cream, with Rosalia going home early. It made him a bit sad, but he wasn't ready to go home yet. Instead he walked around the district some, still in his school clothes and with his bag held over his right shoulder. Actually now that he thought about it there was someone he didn't see at school and it made him worry a bit. "I hope she just had a different class than I did... I'd never hear the end of how it was my fault if something happened to her... Stupid father of hers..." he sighed, mumbling to himself about his missing sister though. He didn't really have to worry since she was alright, but he didn't know that, as he continued to walk around the district with his brow furrowed a bit, not noticing the group of people.

"I just want to be with you right now." She said, smiling as he ran his hand through her face.

Nodding her head, she moved over closer to him. It was thrilling, it felt great, that was also in her mind. It was the idea of this, she loved it, and imagined it in more way the one. The very concept entranced her, inspired her, as if it were a beautiful song. It was a new feeling, it was so very tempting... His hand felt nice, she wanted to keep going. A whole year of yearning this feeling, was this instant gratification? Was this immature? No, Hana's matured over the year, she isn't a child anymore. This was proof of it, Harooka who once treated her like a little sister was now touching her, acknowledging that she was now a woman. She already waited long enough for Mi-hime, and even took care of her. Right... keep on going. It was then that one of her songs played on the radio and she began to laugh a little.

"Don't you find this fun, the one who's singing that is right in front of you," She took his hands and placed it on her body. "Not just my face, I worked hard as idol for this too.. haha." Laughing, she let him taking in the feeling in her hands, meanwhile it felt nice. Her body was only for Mi-hime, yet, this was happening, it made her feel even more thrilled. "Doesn't this feel nice, ahhh. I feel like I huge weight is off my shoulders..." Hana's eyes looked at Harooka's, no longer feeling the discomfort that was present before.

She took her pen with her left hand again and began to write on her notepad once more.

Give her the breather's kiss, and watch her spirit lift.
She'll take over the stage, and take over the night.

Warmth was washing over his face. They were still in the cafe! Haruka wasn't altogether opposed to what was happening, but not while people could watch them. Technically he was off shift, close was coming soon but... He felt a mix of ignorant bliss, and guilty honesty.

His hands were holding the girl he only thought of nothing as but a friend and someone he had been proud of, but this was a whole different experience. He didn't move at first, just staring as she wrote on her pad. Haruka swallowed his guilt for a moment and smiled at Hana. He was happy with this too, as this was what he had been longing for, for a year. Comfort, warmth, compassion. The emotions he hadn't felt since New York.

"Hana. Yeah, it is fun. Thanks for coming tonight." He stands up from his seat, still holding onto her hand. Leaving a kiss on her hand, he pulls his fingers from hers. He bows once more, with his arms crossed behind and in front of him.

"Please, do come again." He joked, smiling still. He felt a new flame in him. He walked behind her for a moment, peering over her shoulder. The lyrics were really something else. They conveyed a message even he had trouble understanding.

"Try... We'll set fire to a hill, so intense that it will be the brightest star on this side of the sky." That was probably Haruka's only inspiration of words, ever. If he ever had another moment like that, he'd have to write some songs himself one day. He walked over to the counter, talking to the boss about getting off work. Closing time had come and he really needed to figure some things out in his head now...

One last time. He turned to Hana, planting one more kiss on the top of her head. It was a small thing. He even pet her for a moment like Seifer did with Rosalia. Did girls like that? He had no real idea. But it seemed adorable enough.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow or something... thanks again, for tonight." Haruka left the shop with his backpack in tow.

Tonight was really something...

You do not know what you are getting into, Haruka.

Hana AP+5

"Haha! See you tomorrow!" Her face was still glowing red from the the two kisses, her hand, her head. She waved at him as he exited the shop.

We'll set fire to a hill, so intense that it will be the
brightest star on this side of the sky


She closed her notebook after writing that line, placing her pen back into her bag along with the song book. Running her hand across her hair, she smiled, remembering the good feeling that came from his hands. Her body still felt it as well. It was great. After double checking if her table had been cleared, she lifted up her bag and stood up. Tonight was surely great, to think that this would happen just by chance. Was this fate? It was bad, but it was good. It wasn't right, but it was. The contrast, the juxtaposition of the situation at hand reminded her of Haruka-kun, the black suit, at opposition with his white hair. It was... cool... nice... great... thrilling... exciting, like what he did with her just now.

When she stood up from her chair she looked down on her table again, a card laid face down. It called out to her, but more so she felt as if something was already looking at her. Not her fans, no, the shop was closing, and there was almost no one around. It was the card itself. Usually they would speak to her before anything, but this one didn't. Isabella reached for it and turned it over.

"..."

The card's eyes were like hers. She looked at it and it bounced back at her, a reflection. Stars laid within the unit's eyes when it did with hers. Neither of them spoke because neither of them needed to speak. A Bermuda Triangle unit which represented Hana and Isabella's current state, as well as a title that fit both of her personas. A unit that had her eyes as she looked upon Haruka-kun tonight, ones that held enough serenity and beauty that it could turn anyone into a prisoner.

There was a bit of a gentle breeze tonight. Despite the warmth of the day, Hoshiko was much more habitable now than it was before. It was this period of time that was now Satoshi's time to flourish.

He had done this sort of thing long ago with Yukino and Haruka, staying awake for what seemed like unnecessary amounts of time, only to wake up in the middle of the evening the next day. It was quite the struggle to have a normal life, but the three of them had been far from normal. As far as he was concerned, they still all were, no matter if what Seifer said earlier was true.

It wasn't like Satoshi wanted to be recognized as a hero. The real "Hero of Liberation" title belonged to Tsubasa, the one who had freed Neu from the grasp of her pain and uncertainty about what Vanguard truly should be. It was just that the other four---him, Cero, Jellal and Seifer---had contributed to their success as well, even with failure. It was by mere coincidence that this sort of down-to-earth farmboy became the face of agriculture and naturally-made products in America. It was coincidence that this fame had led to windfalls of money he had no intention of spending that much of.

What had come out of all of it was a chance to live life his own way and not rely on others to do so. Self-sustenance. He had to make a trip to a studio in the area soon to send off another advertisement for another few thousand dollars, but that wasn't that pressing. He put his hands in his pockets, staring out over the district. It was this sort of thing, the fact that his face and attire was so recognizable, that he had to make a few changes. The coat he wore was part of them. He'd wear it in public to avoid confrontation, but in private, he was exactly that famous figure that acquired so much money to be a sponsored Vanguard player. He had agents practically lining up to manage him as though it would make them so much money and fame to do so.

But he didn't care. This wasn't what he wanted at all. He wanted to be in touch with a few close friends, have small get-togethers at his apartment, maybe invite them on a trip to Hawaii---

Right. That was the one thing he splurged for. Private flights to his beach house in Hawaii. That was actually a gift from a prominent CEO who wanted to make Vanguard his business. Ronald Drump, his name was. A big business owner that wanted to talk to him about making Cray into a reality. Whether or not he accepted, the home was a gift, and it was quite an extravagant gift. But it was that sort of thinking...

He held his head, trying to shake off the thoughts. Why did things have to get so complicated and difficult? It was almost better when he was homeless. Now he had so many responsibilities and concerns to think about, he could swear it was going to kill him.

And all the while, the voice took every opportunity it could to remind him of this.

"Your stress bubble is going to pop oh so very soon, and it's going to be the best thing---and the worst thing---to ever happen to you. And it will be oh so entertaining...hahaha..."

"Which one are you... Black or White?..." Reit asked
"Well I am wearing a black hat today..." Isabella tried forcing out a laugh.

The card finally spoke, but it only been asking the same question, over and over. Or... something similar.

"Which one do you like better? The white me... or the black?..."
"Well..." Isabella would then think.

Was there a difference? It seems that the other Bermuda Triangle units had silenced, this was now the only one she could hear. Isabella sat in the coffee shop, feeling about a hundred things, keeping a good deal of them in the back of her mind. She swallows it all like she swallows her guilt, taking out any of her cares for the world. Yukino was back, she sent her that lazy text cause she was in class, but its not like Isabella had any time to even worry about her over the year. She ha forgoven her, but nothing much was done beyond that. Either way, she waited for Haruka-kun in the coffee shop, knowing that Yukino's return had affected him the most.

Just go in, do what you gotta do, and go home. That's it.

Haruka tried three times to cancel work but felt bad each time he was about to call so he just decided he'd go in and work for a short shift. It would have to suffice, considering the recent arrival of his beloved.

He felt sick to his stomach even thinking of calling her that. He didn't deserve to call her that after what he's been doing the past few days.

Walking into the shop, Haruka was already suited up. His suit was the same as before, but his tie was white instead of black like the day before. Apparently they have a policy of attire and Haruka was given a choice between those two colors exclusively. He decided on white today, no particular reason.

The first thing he spotted on opening the door was, of course, Miss Hana Espoir. She must have been waiting for him.

How did she even get here before me?

Haruka looked at her for a moment. He adjusted his tie and nodded. His first instinct was to approach her but his self-imposed chains told him otherwise. He turned to the counter and went into the back, checking in with the head barista.

"I'll be out in a bit." Was all he left Hana with before he went to the back room. He needed to devise a plan, and fast. Today could be his last chance to make a decision. With Yukino back, there was no room for error

Haruka had made two cups of coffee. One was milk and coffee half-and-half, for himself, the other was a frappe for Hana. The barista promised to cover half of his shift so he could talk to Hana for a bit. Some things were going to be said between the two, whether or not it ended well would depend on how Hana felt. Haruka had made his decision. He would never hurt anybody again, and if that meant disappearing or just not getting involved with people, or having to double-agent his way through life, he would. But he refused to wholeheartedly hurt somebody ever again. Not if he could avoid it.

Walking out, he sat at the table where Hana was seated. She seemed patient enough, meaning she either hadn't been here for very long, or just really wanted to talk. Haruka didn't know what to anticipate, so he set the coffee's down and took a moment to calm himself and gather his thoughts.

"Hana, I'm glad you came by." He bit his lip, kind of trying to distinguish was he wanted to say, and what actually needed to be said. This took another several moments.

"Look, uhm, what we're doing here... What are we doing, Hana? What, hmm, what am I to you?" Hopefully an easy question that would decide a lot of things.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on September 18, 2015, 03:10:39 PM
Hana took a sip of the frappe. What are they doing? Something that she can't stop, something too far that it shouldn't be done. It was a double-edged sword, fulfilling desires that have been festering within her for so long in exchange for throwing away the one whom she had been saving herself for, the partner whom she decided to fulfill those desires with. Haruka-kun answered her feelings, keeping her going on and on. Her sister had crossed her mind when it came to him, eventually, Yukino played no role in the equation. That is, until now. To Hana, she didn't matter, but to Haruka-kun, she did.

Black or White?

"Swallow the guilt and obtain your desires." Her mind kept running this across her, almost like a broken record. Its how she fulfilled her dream after all, just follow what she wants, just keep going. Who was he? Well, he satisfies her daily desire to feel loved in all sorts of ways, to have fun in all sorts of ways. He related to her in the current moment moreso than anyone, even Mi-hime.

Black or White?

"To me right now you're someone I need... For the past year I've been faking my smile for a crowd with my desires welling up within me, just waiting to be fulfilled..."

Is this love? Is this Black or White?

"I feel that my dream is here, I'm an idol, but there's something I've been missing... Honestly I think its you... Its nothing about how you look at all, I can get anyone if I wanted if I think about it, but somehow its you...That I..."

When Mi-hime had become sick, Hana had become lost. Her plans of preforming as a duo with her lover were ruined entirely, her desire to show her off to the world, gone. Being teased for the past year about love as Isabella had thrown her mind into a twist. She has someone but her idol career didnt acknowledge it. She worked for someone, but it had no effect on the majority of her idol life. With Haruka-kun, the world can see then, everyone, and gives her what she wants and needs.

Black or White?

Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on September 18, 2015, 03:26:27 PM
Haruka nearly slammed his fists down on the table. There was the clear division between the wants and the needs. Haruka wasn't at all a clear picture of the equation. She wanted him simply to feel loved. To feel the emotions she had saved herself for Miyuki. Hana was clearly driven by the need to have her emotions catered to, and that's exactly what Haruka did, blindly. Whilst believing he was fulfilling his goal of consoling the girl, and also finding himself driven by her looks, Haruka had led himself down some sort of pathological road of self-destruction.

He stared at her, eyes turning red with tears. He tightened his jaw in an infernal rage. He was ready to leave. He had his answer. She could have anyone she wanted as long as they'd love her and forgive her and do what she wanted. If they gave into her temptations. By this was a complete turn from what Haruka needed... He only wanted Hana, because he needed her. She was the only one left to tun too. Everyone else showed their backs in Haruka's time of need and treatment. But when the year of grief finally came to a real end, Hana allowed herself to be the answer he had been searching for.

"I'm glad you're glad." Haruka read the text, standing up from his seat. He never even touched his coffee.

"This isn't right. We both know that. I've made my decision... even if Yukino hadn't come back today, this wouldn't be right. I want to make everybody happy and that's a really foolish dream. What happened these past days was fun, I won't lie. I enjoyed most of the time, if not, all of it. You made me happy, Hana. And I hope I made you happy too..." He straightened his tie, turning to the counter, giving Hana a profile view of Haruka. The side with the burn showing.

"Alas, reality awaits us. Not this... twisted place we made for each other. It isn't healthy." Haruka pulled on a pair of thin butler gloves, one black, one white. His entire outfit had become a checker design at this point. Save for the red marks across his neck and cheek.

Black-

Her Pr<3ism deck disappeared, within her bag a light glowed and all their voices were gone forever. Miyuki's avatar, Pr<3ism-Image Vert vanished along the partner which once represented Hana, Labrador. No longer would she have to see Miyuki's card, and no longer would she have to act the part of her partner. She was liberated from all this with her choice. Black, a dark pitch black, and with it came a new power. Her deck was replaced with cards that paired with Reit, all wearing the color which was her decision. A dark love mixed wjth a lust, a need answered by instant gratification and covered up by swallowed guilt and cognative dissonance. It didn't matter that it was wrong, that was in the long run. In the now, they've made their own sanctuary, and she wasn't willing to let that go for another round of of a rinse-repeat routine involving coming home to Miyuki, working, worrying, returning home, working, leaving, returning home, working....  Her desires were to be fulfilled now. Selfish? Selflessness resulted in relationships like Yukino, suffering like with Miyuki, and for her to only get what she want after losing an arm and leg for it. She wanted to become a winner in this world.

The Eye of Temptation had become her avatar.

She stood up and grabbed Haruka's hand, the one wearing the black glove and she held it to her chest. She looked at him with her eyes for a moment. She wasn't going to cry, she didn't want to make him worry. Hana just smiled.

"Who cares?... Its bad I know, but we are happy... You can't make everyone happy... But you know you make me happy and I want to make you happy. The world is cruel, we'll be struck by sadness no matter what. So why can't we just take things for ourselves... And worry about only making each other happy? I want and need, its not right and it isn't healthy, but it sure as hell is better than having no one to turn to and having to deal with things by yourself. I'm here and I won't go. I'll give you what you anything."

Rosalia walked into the shopping district directly from Hoshiko High, still in uniform and with her bag in front of her. Her counterpart in his male uniform, Seifer was by her side as he continued asking about school. Which, to her, seemed like the same question over and over again. "Mhm. The school is nice, the teachers are easy to understand. It's still the start of the year so the actual class material isn't too bad... I haven't made too many friends yet, but it's not like I've made enemies... I think..." As they walked, the redhead tapped her chin, looking up at the sky more so than for their target destination (an instrument shop). She was trying to take Sky's words from the park to heart; think of everyone as a friend, and maybe they'll come to think of her as a friend too. "So how's your classes? Are all your friends in the same class with you? I can't seem to find anyone like Neo and them that I've met already.."

Listening to what the female said, he nodded slightly before she asked him her set of questions. "If I share classes with anyone, I just don't really notice. They're mostly just boring anyway. The classes I mean. The teachers are all dull, and it's always so quiet... Makes me just wanna put my head down and go to sleep. Not that I do of course." he answered, trotting alongside the female, the top button of his student shirt was unbuttoned just to have a bit of air circulating. He was getting a bit hot just walking around the streets. He hoped the weather cooled down some soon. In any case as they continued to walk, Seifer pointed out what looked like a music shop, though it seemed mostly like a hole in the wall one rather than a full blown store. Maybe they'd have what she needed though?

Post by: Jello on September 18, 2015, 04:11:56 PM
His palm was suddenly pressed against Hana, burning up. Not her chest, but his hand. In fact all of Haruka was nearly ablaze from the inside out. All he could feel was his nerves burning up... it was a familiar sensation. Haruka needed courage. He needed to tell her no. Because every time Haruka gave into what Hana wanted she would only keep coming back and weighing the burden. He felt like Atlas, holding the world on his shoulders, and all he could do was live with it. There didn't seem to be an escape to the spell Hana was essentially trying to cast on Haruka. He pressed his hand further onto her heart. Closing his eyes, he breathed in.

"Hana, I refuse to be what you want me to be. There are only so many things you can promise. But no amount of money or fame will bring back the things I lost a year and some ago." Haruka faced the idol, not looking away anymore, he was done giving in when his back was against the wall. He barks.

He bites.

"How can you expect me to forgive what you're doing right now, forgive myself even, for what we've done? How do you think they woukd feel? Miyuki, your love, Yukino, your sister- ...." Haruka went silent. His words had fallen on deaf ears. Everything he had set out to accomplish this afternoon was falling short.

Haruka. There is nothing left to say here. He grit his teeth, pulling his hand away from Hana, gently. He allowed it to rest at his side.

He's right. Nothing left to say.

All the flame in his chest unleashed as he breathed out one last time, walking out of the store and into the autumn afternoon. No amount of cool could keep him down. But now that he thinks about it, the burning sensation in his pocket seemed to be bothering him. He reached down and felt something, a thin piece of something. He started walking away, away from the shop. He needed to be alone after that episode.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 18, 2015, 04:16:26 PM
Rosalia giggled quietly, wondering if one day Seifer would actually fall asleep in class. It would probably be funny to see, but she didn't want him to get into trouble. He was probably one of those guys that just stared out the window all day, since he didn't seem like the type to doodle when bored. Noticing the shop, the female made her way inside and glanced around. As soon as she entered the shop, a different sort of air surrounded her. An atmosphere of experience seemed mostly likely, her fingers brushing across different pieces with a gentle touch. Eventually her eyes found what looked to be the right spot for stringed instruments, but it wasn't a full blown music store so the selection of actual instruments for sale was slim to none. It did have some care items though, like spare strings, cleaner and polish, and bows. In the end, however, she led the way out of the store without buying anything. "If you want, we can keep looking for a bigger store, but we don't have to. I can probably get my old violin from home and get the extra stuff here if need be."

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 18, 2015, 04:20:40 PM
Seifer quietly watched the female as she went about her business in the store. He'd never been one to try and make music but he knew she liked to. Plus, she seemed happy enough. He was glad for that. However when she lead him out of the store he tilted his head at her. "You're sure?" he asked, walking at her side and looking around. "I honestly don't mind. We'd have to find you instrument stuff anyway right? I'm not sure what all your courses are going to look like until you graduate... So maybe you should get the violin?" Seifer shrugged a bit still walking with her. "I don't mind still looking around. I told you we'd do what you wanted to do. So, let's do that."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 18, 2015, 04:30:10 PM
Rosalia made a face when Seifer wouldn't choose something to do. She did scratch the back of her head though, wondering about her violin. "Well, this store is good for replacement and cleaning stuff.. But they didn't have any actual violins that I liked. 'Sides, a new violin could cost a bit.. Anywhere from 12,000 to 70,000 yen ($100-600 USD) and I wouldn't want to have you pay for it, if I could find one I really liked anyways.. I know you may be wealthier than I am, but still.." And yet the female started to walk again down the streets of the shopping district in search for another, hopefully bigger, music store.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 18, 2015, 04:33:37 PM
The male poked the red head's arm as they walked shrugging. "So what? Consider it a late birthday gift. Ok?" was how he replied before pointing out another, slightly larger music store. Still a hole in the wall, but it was decently sized, definitely bigger than the previous store, so he lead her over to it. "I haven't done much for you since we got here, so consider it a treat ok? You had to put up with my crap, and me bringing around strangers, so let me do this for you yeah?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 18, 2015, 04:44:16 PM
Rosalia frowned, but knew Seifer wasn't going to let it go. She rubbed her arm where she was poked, then followed the male's direction to the second music store. "And to think I was the difficult one.." she mumbled under her breath, but couldn't help a glance over her shoulder at the brunette. In the end, she was still happy they had met, and despite everything different now in her life because of him, she wouldn't have it any other way.

Inside the store, they definitely had a larger selection of instruments. Most importantly, the violin, which was considered more common than say a larger stringed instrument such as the enormous cello, or a double bass. Actually, she found two that she liked, and had asked a store clerk to allow her to test them. She only played a few notes, standard scales going up and down on the first one before moving to the second, to which she played on a bit longer. It didn't take nearly as long as she thought to get used to playing again, muscle memory in her fingers playing the instrument for her. After a few scales, she played a simple tune, even shutting her eyes as she enjoyed the feel of the instrument in her grasp. Of course she didn't play long, and she decided on the second one for a better feel, though noticed it was on the higher end of the price range. "Are you suuuuuure you want to get me this?..." she asked, looking between the price tag and her companion.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 18, 2015, 04:48:49 PM
Seifer quietly continued to watch Rosalia as she tested instruments. It was something he wouldn't ever be able to understand. He just wasn't talented like that, and it was something that he always held her in high regards for. He respected her, and while she could be difficult, shy, or hyper... He was glad they'd met. He was glad that his friends seemed to like her, and that she seemed to like them, even if they teased the brunette and red head about how their relationship actually was. And somewhere deep down he felt something... Warm. But the idea of it all confused him so he sort of just shrugged it off for now. He'd probably come back to that later. "Yeah I'm sure. But you have to take extra special care of it, ok?" he made her promise, looking over the price tag and shrugging. It was a large bit of money, but it didn't matter as much to him. He just wanted to see her happy.

"Alright here it is! The cardshop Tsubasa wrote for me to go! Now to find the cards I need!" Noel was excited she found the shop and entered it to see it filled with a variety of games. From board games to card games, it basically had everything, especially Vanguard. There were fight tables every where.

Wow! I never been to one of these before! This is so cool! She thought to herself since her deck originally came in the mail via online ordering. Noel looked long and hard in the shelves that were filled with Royal Paladin units. After a good search through them all, she finally got all the necessary replacement cards for her deck.

"I know school is important and one of the reasons for me being here but my deck means a lot more right now..." Noel said to herself as she walked out the store with her brand new deck, the Sanctuary of Light

Rosalia stuck her tongue out at the male, huffing as she gathered up the instrument, bow, and case. It was worth the price at least, since it came with a few basic care items as a set, and the case held it all. "Of course I know to take care of it, rude.. I may be hard to deal with, but I'm not an idiot when it comes to instruments.. Especially instruments that are gifts..." she added the last part quietly as she handed it all over to the store clerk to be purchased. She waited off to the side until Seifer could finish the transaction, then carried the loaded case carefully along with her school bag. "T-thank you, Seifer.." Rosalia said, again rather quietl but she was sure Seifer could hear her, a light blush returning to her cheeks. "S-so now what do you wanna do? I got my violin, so you get to pick next."

Nothing. Just trying to make her feel guilt, but he's also on the same boat, there's no use running away from it...

Her power, star travel enabled Hana to map out his location despite him having left, as long as star light covered the area he was in, she could picture his location. It was afternoon and the sun was blazing stronger than ever. The sun itself, was a star. Her vision was clearer than ever.

She chased after him, cutting him off in his path. She still had more to say, the decision had already been made. There was no turning back.

"Why do you think money and fame is what I think would make you happy! If that was so then I would be the happiest person ever, but I'm not." she shook a little, trying to stand tall. "You're already what I want you to be. I'll forgive you for the things you've been doing... I know I can't be forgiven, but I don't care I just want you to fogive me... When I said I'll give you anything, I meant myself.. I'll give you all of me."

"Isabella." Reit called out. "If he isn't listening then we can just find the happiness we desire elsewhere."
"There is nowhere else..." she answered back.

"I don't care what you do... Just take me with you. I lost my girlfriend and my sister in exchange for fame a year ago... At the end of it I gained you. I lost them but then.. got someone better, really I have nowhere else to turn to.. You should understand. Please." she bowed to him, the Princess bowing down to a guy dressed in a suit. Ironic.

The brunette paid in exact change, smiling as she held the violin. It looked... right... for some reason. "You look cute with it. ...Play it for me sometime?" he asked, glancing away and scratching the back of his head to hide an embarrassed blush. However when she asked what he wanted to do, he thought for a moment shutting his eyes. "I guess... We could go get something to eat?... I'm kinda hungry honestly..." he admitted, looking back at Rosalia.

The redhead felt her cheeks warm up again, tenfold this time when asked to play for him one day. "A-alright. You'll have to bear with me though now that I have an instrument to play at home, s-so..." She trailed off in thought after that, not even sure what to play. She would have to look up sheet music later (thank the heavens for Internet). In the meantime, she smiled brightly as if that would hide her fluster. "Food sounds good right about now~ Did you wanna get something to eat while out or wanna head home and make something?"

Sky got off of work extremely happy. Not only did one of the students ask him to advise her club, but today was pay day! Which meant Sky could finally buy a mattress for his apartment like he always wanted. As he walked through the shopping district Sky saw a familiar face. It was the girl from the drycleaners. Seifers sister/ other woman in his life. He remembered the last time they met, instead of getting her name he got a kick in the face from her. But no need to hold grudges Sky had some time before the mattress store closed so he decided to say hi. "Hello there, my friend!" Sky said waving toward the girl.

Seifer nodded in agreement, really just biding his time so he could hear her play. At the mention of how they should get the food however, he was stumped. Should they take it home and watch television? Or should they eat out? "Well... It's kind of hot. Maybe we can just get the food to go, and sit in the air conditioning at home?" that might be the better option of the two since eating while it's hot out isn't the best idea sometimes.

She won't quit it, will she-

"Listen to her."

Haruka's eyes widened. He stopped breathing for a moment. Not from being scared by the girl, but that voice... it was gallant. It was vicious. That voice boomed in his head once like it had before. The heat Haruka was feeling had become intense, nearly sweltering. Yet on the outside, Haruka wasn't even close to breaking a sweat anymore. This was the familiar heat of home...

He nodded, responding to what he believed to be the voice he thought it was.

And so Haruka did, he listened to what Hana had to say, ready to push her aside the second she said something he found ridiculous. But what she said was... all honest. Or at least, Haruka felt as though it was. He had no idea whether to view her as a weak stray, someone to look after and nurture, or treacherous leech that attached itself to him by chance.

Haruka flicked Hana on the head.

"Stand up straight, you dolt." Haruka's face was still holding a cold expression, somewhat rigid. He wasn't happy with this outcome.

"You won't find what you're really looking for here. What happened these past few days was... I don't know. It won't happen again..."

"But I'll stand by you." Haruka held out the hand, gracing the white glove. He smiled, his eyes showing sincerity. This was the only chance for redemption he'd allow her.

"As of today I'm your friend, Haruka Nakahara. I'm not your lover; I can't ever be what Miyuki was. I'll never be able to really influence you the way Yukino might have." This was the only compromise he could make with her. If she couldn't accept these terms, he was ready to turn away as many times as he had too.

He didn't even care about love at the moment. Yukino's, Hana's, perhaps Shiki's(???). All he wanted was... well, he didn't know what he wanted anymore. But he had to take at least one leap for her.

I just want the old Hana back.

"What do you say, Hana?"

His thoughts and his words overlapped one another, but they still rang the same truth.

Noel was walking until he heard a familiar but unfamiliar voice as she was walking out of the cardshop. Oh great, it's that guy from the dry cleaners and then the park

"How can you call me your friend after kicking your face? I'm surprised you don't have a concussion after that." Noel said and sighed because she knew that he was about to be part of her day. "So how can I help you... ummm... uhh.... You. What's your name?"

Rosalia nodded, the smile on her lips fading only slightly as she laughed softly at the warmth. "Heh.. Yeah, it's kinda warm out. And for a skirt and blouse as a uniform, it doesn't really help with the heat... I'd rather not be carrying around the new violin too much either. I don't want anything to happen to it on the first day..." She glanced down at her new gift, a sense of excitement coming over her. It was a different kind of happiness when she won against Neo and Sky in her cardfights, but happiness was always a good thing. "Let's get going~ Food awaits!"

"Well that wasn't the first time I've been attacked by a woman so I have no hard feelings! Also you're my friend because you're a cardfighter and I consider all fighters my friends!" Sky said smiling. "Oh yea and I'm Sky Carter its a pleasure.... I didn't get your name last time."

"Why does that not surprise me... that's good at least. I wouldn't be friendly with every one who calls themselves a cardfighter. You can't trust people so easily like that. It will be your downfall one of these days." Noel said with a concerned-like look. She has seen those types of people get emotionally and mentally crushed before and sometimes the ending wasn't ever good. Sometimes they never got back up from a humiliation that she has seen before by her father. "Nice to meet you Sky, as for my last name... I don't know if I should say" She said holding her deck box containing her new deck tightly

"Well if you find it hard to trust others, they too will find it hard to trust you. But I know what you mean. Maybe it's because Japan, or this city at least is way safer than the city I am from so I have become more trusting" Sky said still smiling. "Also you don't have to give me your last name, how about just your first?" Sky asked now chuckling.

"Sometimes its better to be on your own. Get too attached to people and you will be too vulnerable and might fall for a trap or in something you will find hard on deciding. I do admit this city is quite peaceful." Noel said with a serious look. "My first name is Noel. I'm not sure if you are willing but can you cardfight with me in a little bit?"

Sky truly did want to fight Noel, but he thought there might be a way to help her saddening view on people and fighting her now wouldn't be it. "I've got a better idea. Join the card fight club and I'll fight you there!" Sky believed that if he could get cave to join the club she'd meet many new people and she'd see that trusting and depending on others was not bad thing.

He was just letting her down easy. Basically rejection.

Isabella sighed. "Well..." Crossing her arms she thought about how ridiculous it was. "I thought I was stronger than this..." What was a desire just grew intro frustrstion. Everytime that she almost reaches the final piece of what she needs, things turn over their head and it drifts away. Everytime she tries to act mature and get treated like a grown up, shes reverted back to a kid again. Is it her own fault, probably, but also her dumb luck. Things also get taken away to such extremes.

That flick to the head pissed her off even more."So I'm a kid again?"

"Why did you have to that then! At least if you do something, don't stop halfway. Why did you have to answer my feelings and lead me to a point where I can't do anything, but keep going just for you to reject them now. Is it because Yukino is back now...? I'll never be as good as her, even now.... I'm just- Then you're tryingI'veact all cool-- after treating me like  I've grown then just throwing that out the window.." she shakes her head.

"Isabella! Isabella!" Reit called out.
She was just silent.

He lowered his hand.

The feelings he had tried to convey were rejected as a result of the way he responded. The night was quickly approaching. Haruka went silent for a moment, staring at Hana. She was more than serious, she was venomous. This was no longer a matter of stepping on mines but of walking through consciously. He was going to kneel down to her eye-level, but felt it would be offensive for once...

Instead, he straightened up and looked her in the eyes. Haruka's face never really got serious, he looked too child-like and was often referred to as one, due to his often immature nature or responses to things. But he wasn't about to take what Hana was throwing at him. He didn't want to fight with her, because she is still the only one on his side.

She was, anyways.

"If you don't want me to treat you like one, stop acting like one. If you think abandoning somebody you love because they can barely move, because they're sick, because you can't take pride in their inabilities, I don't see an adult in you. I'm no better than you, and I know that. I don't expect to be forgiven, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I was condemned by everybody I knew for what I did."

Haruka pointed to himself, unnerved. This might be his last few words to Hana. Time to make what he has left count.

"I answered your feelings because I felt it was right... But I didn't think of the consequences."

Haruka was finally going to admit to his wrongdoings. He knew that everything up to this point was plain and simple not right, but he could never bring himself to admit it. He never wanted to think he was in the wrong, but he was ready to lay it all out.

"I spent my time with you because I was alone and you were the only one left to hold on too. When everyone turned their back on me, you stayed there to help me. It took a year... But at least you showed back up. Hana, I want to offer the same thing to you. Something, someone to hold on to."

His face softened, eyes returning to a dreary state. He couldn't do anymore than this for her. Not tonight. Not ever. Haruka had reserved all of his feelings for so long, gave them to Hana... When he should have just stored them away for the rainy day when he needed them. When the one he loved promised to return. He was in the wrong.

He was wrong. He is wrong. Everything about his being is wrong and all he can do is except his mistakes and move past them, otherwise what kind of a man would he be?

Post by: Beryl on September 18, 2015, 08:27:14 PM
Well, it turned out that going to Shop Handsome overall wasn't the best idea when no one showed up. It was strange. The shops seemed much more empty with summer vacation no longer relevant for students. They had all gotten so busy...but was class really that intense? He shook his head as he walked.

Seifer had rejected his offer to fight him and Rosalia to practice. In a way, it probably didn't help that he didn't say more to Seifer, to explain why he wanted to fight in particular instead of just straight up asking. The two hardly knew each other, but it wasn't going to get any better if they didn't hang out just a tad. He was interested in more than just the fact that they shared a mutual interest a year ago. Failing to make that clear was bound to get rejected.

Something about it sat uneasy with him, though. Was Seifer...deliberately avoiding him? Did he do something wrong? This sort of thing happened with Yukino and Haruka as well, and the two of them tended to mean well but not express themselves well to him to make sure he understood. This lead to him making some pretty bold assumptions before that just didn't go well. It was this sort of thing he wanted to avoid, that he didn't want to happen again...

Mostly because thinking about the Triad lately gave him a huge pain in his heart. Things weren't the same as a year ago. The texts from Yukino, though he hadn't interacted with her directly, sounded much more formal and devoid of emotion...no, not just emotion, but humanity, than before. And Haruka...well, every time Satoshi had seen him recently, he was with a new group of friends, enjoying himself. Admittedly trying to get his comrade involved with him, but it wasn't like before when it was just the three of them. Well, the four of them, including Hana.

Speaking of the two of them, he noticed them rather close to each other not too far away. He couldn't exactly tell what was going on, but Hana seemed rather frustrated. He debated approaching them, but he also guessed that as long as they didn't notice, it wasn't his business.

He shook his head again. <I guess I don't have much of a choice otherwise, do I?> he thought as he pulled out his phone. He sent a quick text to Yukino.

I'm going to the restaurant in the forest tonight. Do you maybe want to meet up and chat a bit? It's been a year.

After doing so, Satoshi immediately pocketed his phone and kept walking. That text wasn't a lie; he was eating at a nice place once a week because he could, and the restaurant in the forest served a pretty high-quality meal. Even with his recent diet, the farmboy felt the need to at least indulge himself a little. After all, he grew up with their chef's supplier and worked on his farm up until recently. He gave a little smirk to himself, thinking of that. Even if he hadn't made it big in American advertising, he would've had some claim to fame here at home.

Post by: Hope on September 18, 2015, 08:43:32 PM
She figured that he would say all that, that was what her silence was for.

There was no point in trying, its time to just stop. Mi-hime and Yukino may as well just hate her now. What about everythig else? What did these cards even represent. Black or White? Haruka was trying to get to her by using Miyuki's situation, but she was the one that had to deal with it, not him, how could he possibly understand?

"Don't talk about Mi-hime like you understand. You're a mess over Yukino leaving, but understand that I lost BOTH my sister and the one whom I should love... not only that... Miyuki was there, but she wasn't. My heart has sunk as many times as there are days in a year... I can't do anything." Now ... Now ...

"Now you have Yukino back amd I'm still stuck with this pain! Seeing Miyuki-"

"Hana.." Reit whispered.She just felt the unit watching over her.

"I want to just run away... what the hell is this? Why are my Pr<3ism gone? Is this some dumb punishment.. I guess deserve it.."

"Hana.." Reit tried to comfort her, but the stare from the eyes were almost piercing.

The persona from the back of her mind emerged again and the memories of Miyuki flowed back to her again. She didn't forget their promise. She became silent once again.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on September 18, 2015, 09:20:23 PM
She wasn't wrong. Haruka didn't know, not even in the slightest what it felt like to have a burden such as that. Haruka didn't know much of anything when it came to Hana's life. At this point, the only thing these two managed to solve was the fact that neither of them know a single real thing about each other. Nothing worthy of being real over. They simply became attached out of the necessity to be cared for when they weren't before.

Haruka felt as though he was betraying somebody else, as if he was turning his back now on somebody. She had nobody left to turn to, and even when Haruka admittedly would help her, she still keeps turning him away. She won't accept his help because his help doesn't come with an embrace or a kiss.

He stands there, wind beginning to blow lightly around. The streetlights are finally shooting on. The light illuminated the two silhouettes, creating something of a fragmented shimmer on the pavement. Everything he had said tonight was unfair. He didn't deserve a free pass out of this one. He knelt down once more for her, looking up. The stars behind her was glowing almost brilliantly. He wasn't going to turn his back on her because he knew how it felt to be let down. He even admitted she was what he was holding on to this past while. He could easily leave. He could walk away and never speak to her again if he didn't want to. It was that easy.

And yet he knelt there, in front of the woman he had promised his feelings to for several days now. Yukino was home, and he was aware of that, but he had someone else to protect now. Someone to care for.

"You're right Hana. You've been right all night." Haruka almost wanted to grit his teeth. She had only been trying to explain the obvious to him all afternoon and evening, but as silence continued to fill the air, even Overlord knew what he had to do. What Haruka wanted was just as what Hana wanted. Solace. Comfort. Care.

"I-I was selfish.. I was scared that now that Yukino was home- I was afraid... Afraid she wouldn't love me anymore, after so long." He looked up to her, taking one of her hands in his.

"But you were here for me, and you openly expressed yourself for me... It's not fair." Haruka was crying, but only barely. He was, well, quite literally going against everything he had said today to her. What answer had he found? The obvious one. The one even Overlord had known from the start. Why go back to someone who left you in the dust...

"When somebody who will care for you is standing right in front of you." His eyes traced over her like they did earlier a day or so ago. These were his honest feelings. Not a slate of guilt being torn down by foolish lies. While it may be an excuse to some, it was the truth to him.

"I'm sorry, Hana. I..-" He choked. He couldn't say anymore without looking down at the ground. Even then words wouldn't come.

A real response. Satoshi gave a small smile. He was almost home and needed to freshen up a bit, at least to look his part.

She was still silent, but she her arms around wrapped around him.

Hana let the stars take over the night. Her mind was blank, the sudden shifts and stops had frozen them over absolute zero. She didn't know what to think anymore. Haruka is back so her mind went on autopilot and took him in. What kind of future lie wait with this decision? Who cares...

The feeling that was piercing her heart the whole time and making her head spin was gone now, that's all that matters. For once Hana got all that she wanted. Her dream was achieved, she was no longer alone, the one whom captured her was here now. She wanted to feel loved, and Haruka was here.

"I see...." Her mind stayed within the emptiness.

"Hana..." Reit called out.

She has now finished rewriting.

It feels as if she was entering a trance, but she welcomed it. Happiness was here.
"Haruka-kun... It's ok..." she stepped back and raised his chin up, pressing her lips onto his and giving him a kiss.

This was ok...
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on September 18, 2015, 11:52:41 PM
He didn't deserve what Hana was giving him now. More chances because he asked... this wasn't fair in the slightest. But Haruka was greedy, no, he was selfish tonight. Haruka asked for this, and so this is exactly what he's going to get. The feeling of Hana's arms around him was a subtle comfort.

Then her lips. Something was different about them from Yukino. They sent a warmth down his cheeks and his jaw, sending his mind blank. This was enough for tonight. Even if tomorrow wasn't as pleasant, or the day after. Tonight was enough for Haruka.

He let the warmth spread from his face to his neck, to his shoulders and down his entire body. The scorch of his bones and blood was simmered down to a light boil. The warmth that accompanied it now was a soothing cool for him. He placed his hands on hers, standing up.

Several seconds passed, but it felt like nearly minutes before he pulled away. He looked at her with small smile. Haruka wiped off the remaining tears dripping from his chin and cheeks. Guilt was still eating him up from the inside about how he simply accused her of so many horrible things and then asked for everything back.... but he would earn this in due time.

"T-Thank you." Haruka said, still holding her hands. He intertwined his fingers with hers, taking one more kiss, a couple light pecks. It takes a moment for Haruka to realize that he had taken Hana by the waist and pulled her into him, just kind of holding her.

"Ah, sorry... hahaha." Haruka starts to laugh a bit, trying to break off the tension from earlier. It was a coping mechanism he had devised when things like this happened, which wasn't very often or really ever at all but it worked for him.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on September 19, 2015, 02:04:21 AM
"Keep holding me like this..."

When he pulled her close a grin ran across her face. She went in even more and pressed her body more onto his, wrapping her arms around him. This moment was all that really mattered. Forget everyone else, she was finally happy. Tomorrow she would lead  the Cardfight Club, then after that, she would do her usual business as an idol. All through that Haruka would be by her side. Through the Camping Trip, the Culture Festival... everything. She truly wasn't by herself anymore.

She gave him a kiss again.

"Isabella belongs to you now," she touched his lips with her index finger. "You can look at her all over the TV, the ads, and well haha... I did have one swimsuit photo shoot once... they're all yours... she's yours." Her voice was soft, it was impossible to tell that she was yelling her heart out just a few moments ago.

Hana looked at him with bright eyes, and the stars shone down on her, "Let's spend tonight together. I can get a nice hotel nearby and get us driven there." Her face formed a big smile, "This is fine right?... Really ok?"

Of course it is.
Miyuki will be ok tonight, no need to check on her.

Seifer lead the way from school to the shopping district again, wandering around and looking at all the shops. He didn't know why his feet brought him this way, but he'd been coming this way a lot lately. "Now that I think about it, there anything you want to do here?" he asked looking over at his red headed companion and tilting his head, giving a faint smile. He was a bit upset he'd walked out so early from the club meeting, even though he did it just to hide his frustration and disappointment about losing to Overlord, the unit he'd lost twice to something out of his control. And that burning sensation, what was that?

Rosalia skipped along by her housemate's side. Though it was only a half day of school, the Cardfight meeting took up more time than she thought. But they still had plenty of time to do whatever else they want for the day. "Hm... What to do, what to do... We come here to the shopping district like, every day though. With how often we're here, I'm surprised we haven't bought half the stores already," she pointed out, giggling softly. With schoolbag in hand, the redhead played with some of the larger curls that draped around her like curtains. "Let's see... we got me a new violin... we went grocery shopping a few days ago... We got ice cream courteous of Satoshi..."

"I may have money but I don't think I can afford to buy a store." he joked, poking the side of her head as they walked together. "I'm not really sure what to do though. I'm just enjoying being out with you, so I don't want others to come along with us but..." he sighed. "Sorry I'm so boring..."

Rosalia swatted at the male's hand at the poke, but poked his head in return as well. "You're not boring. You just have a more calm and quiet lifestyle, not that I'm complaining," she pointed out. In trying to make Seifer happier, or at least less mopey, she started to skip around the brunette much like a younger child would. "Ring around the rosy, pockets full of posies. Ashes, ashes, we all fall do- aaaah!" Of course... in the midst of her skipping, the redhead tripped over her own two feet. Because she was going in circles, she sort of tripped sideways, but hopefully not into any random bystanders.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 19, 2015, 08:13:53 PM
Well the poke and the show did help Seifer somewhat, pulling a smile to his face. However... When she tripped, brunette reacted rather quickly, gently grabbing the female's wrist and pulling her toward him, hugging her tightly like if he'd let go she'd fall over again. It was more a matter of coincidence as well, but he lightly held her head against his chest, looking down at her with a worried look. "Are you ok?... Nothing broken or sprained?... Nothing hurt?..." he asked, still worrying about her. It took him a minute to realize how he was holding her but his face turned crimson and he loosened his grip a little bit, holding her at arms length now. He still held onto her though, just in case she was unsteady and might fall over again.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 19, 2015, 08:21:11 PM
Rosalia had shut her eyes when falling, awaiting the hard ground to meet her, when she felt yanked upwards instead. The whole act had her mind spinning for a minute, but the warmth around her helped ease her frazzled nerves. Only when she finally opened her eyes did she realize what was around her, or rather, who was holding her. And that she was still standing upright instead of sprawled out on the ground. "U-um.. I-i mean, my ankle hurts a bit.. probably from twisting it which is why I tripped.. But I'm okay, I think..." The female glanced up at her companion once at arm's length, only realizing then that her companion's face was entirely red. In turn, her skin flushed as well, as she pulled further out of his grasp so she could stand fully on her own. "A-ah.. s-sorry... Guess I'm still a klutz, huh..."

"A... Ah... It's ok... Just as long as you're ok. Do you uh..." the male scratched his cheek a bit glancing to the side with a growing red glow on his face. "If it hurts to bad do you... Want me to carry you on my back?..." he asked her. He was unsure whether or not she could walk okay, since she did admit her ankle hurt a bit from twisting it, and he didn't want her to strain herself or put unnecessary weight on it if it was injured. "If that's not okay you can still use me for support..." he added the last part quietly.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 19, 2015, 08:30:22 PM
Rosalia immediately looked away from the male, rubbing her arm while shifting weight her weight on her feet. "I-i'm okay, p-promise... M-maybe I could sit for a-a little though... I-is there a coffee shop or even just a bench nearby?..." she asked quietly in return. There was no way she could imagine getting a piggy-back ride in the middle of the shopping district, from Seifer nonetheless, and certainly not in the school uniform skirt.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 19, 2015, 08:33:02 PM
"I uh, yeah... This way." gently Seifer lead Rosalia to the nearby coffee shop, supporting her with his frame just in case. Lightly he helped her sit down, before sitting down next to her himself, sitting on the edge of the bench and holding the edge with his hands while looking at her. "...I know you promised but are you really, really, ok?" he asked, still obviously very worried about her.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 19, 2015, 08:36:13 PM
Rosalia kept her gaze on something else, mostly the ground to watch where she was stepping, as a good excuse to not look at the brunette as he helped her anyways to the coffee shop. "Y-yes, yes, yes.. I'm okay, I promise.." she answered softly. "I think I just twisted my ankle a little... and falling kind of put me on edge, like.. adrenaline, or something.. I'm okay though.. I just need a moment.."

Khudus was looking round the shopping district searching for the shop. He was sure he heard it was nearby but was completely lost. Sheesh why didn't I look it up before. But no I thought be easy to find. Sheesh what a fool.

While lost in thought he ended up near a coffee shop. He thought about maybe seeing if anyone there knew the way to the store but then thought how he would just get sidetracked there and end up spending all his time there instead of the card store. He decided best to keep searching for the shop.

Rosalia continued to reassure him, but it didn't mean he didn't really worry at all. Rather, her actions made him worry a bit more. He didn't say much over anything else though as the female said she needed a bit of time, to which he just nodded and leaned back on the bench. Looking up at the sky above them he let out an inaudible sigh and shut his eyes.

Rosalia sighed softly to herself, barely inaudible as she continued taking deep breaths. Slow breath in, slow breath out. It helped ease her nerves some, and though coffee wasn't the best remedy for the situation, they were at a coffee shop. Glancing at Seifer sitting next to her, she wasn't sure if he was just worried about her, or maybe something else was bothering him... or both. Could always be both... She looked away again, fiddling with the handle of her schoolbag that rested in her lap. "W-would you um.. Could you get me some hot tea with milk and honey?... I-i can pay if you want, I just.. dunno if I want to get up just yet.. with my ankle and all... Y-you could probably use something to drink, too..."

At the request Seifer got up without a word and went to order what she'd asked for. He didn't know what to say. He was actually over worrying but he couldn't help it. For some reason he just found himself caring more and more about her overall well being, more than anything else in the world and he just couldn't put his finger on why. Coming back with Rosalia's order, and a copy order of it meant for him, he sat back down next to her, handing the tea over to her and sipping his own. He still didn't say anything, because at this point he'd likely just keep repeating the same thing over and over again. He hated not saying a word to her and he knew it would make it maybe a bit awkward, but he didn't really know what to say or do.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 19, 2015, 09:03:16 PM
The redhead watched her companion get up, sighing a bit louder to herself when Seifer was out of earshot. It was because of her tripping over her own two feet that this awkward situation came about. But she tripped while skipping around him, trying to cheer him up. She wasn't sure what else to do though, taking her tea with a soft "thank you". She sipped slowly at her tea, keeping her gaze to her drink. The sweet tea helped calm her some, and was a nice beverage no matter what the weather was like outside. After about half of her drink was gone, Rosalia relaxed enough to look to Seifer, both of her hands wrapped around her tea. "S-so... I'm feeling better so.. is there something you wanted to go do? Or go see? I'm okay to walk again, so wherever you wanna go.."

Seifer didn't answer right away as he stared into his tea, taking a drink of it here and there, mostly going much slowly than her. He didn't answer right away, even when he finished his tea, sitting there quietly for a few seconds longer, trying to process his own feelings. It wasn't until he sighed a bit that he did answer. "Why don't we just go home?... You said you've got violin practice, and that's pretty important..." he spoke softly and hesitantly, but he gave a genuine smiling even if it was slight.

Looking up at  the brunette, Rosalia saw the smile, no matter how small. It made a tight feeling cramp up in her chest, something warm, as she smiled in return. "Sounds good to me. Let's get going then?" she asked. First she finished her drink, then slowly got to her feet. She even tested her ankle first, careful in the fact she didn't know if she had a greater injury than expected... But so far, so good. It didn't hurt nearly as much now, just a tiny twinge that would probably go away after a bit. "See?.. I'm okay," Rosalia pointed out, knowing that Seifer might ask yet again if she was well enough to walk. "Nothing broken this time~"

Seifer returned to the shopping district with Rosalia, leading her around and looking through all of the possible diners and the like, his face still a bit red. "W... What are you in the mood for really? It can be anything honestly." he stumbled over his words for a moment, walking with his hands in his pockets. He didn't look at Rosalia, not sure if he could even keep eye contact right now. He was still really nervous for some reason, and he was starting to not know how to actually act around her.

Back in the shopping district yet again, it was like the pair could live here. Even after going home though, neither of them considered changing out of their school uniforms, the female brushing the edges of her skirt lightly. "W-well.. hm... I'm not really sure... They're probably buffets around here somewhere, but I could just go for just a nice, simple, sit-down dinner... Something with... really good beef... or fish. Fish is good... Are there any seafood places around?" Rosalia asked. She glanced to her companion, more so forcing herself to than anything else. It was like, for every minute they were spending together, the more things got tense between them, as if they were striving for the last granules in an hourglass for just a moment more.. a moment longer where things could be normal.. But why did it have to change at all?..
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 19, 2015, 10:44:54 PM
At the mention of seafood, Seifer looked over his companion but quickly looked back forward, pointing out a sign that seemed like it was a sit down seafood diner. "I... I think there would be fine? If... You're okay with it?" he asked, walking ahead and leading Rosalia toward it. He still wasn't sure why he was so antsy and tense. He didn't know why the air felt like this, just that it did. It sort of bothered him and yet, with her, just being with her just felt right. His chest felt tight as he sat down, waiting for the waiters to come about.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 19, 2015, 10:49:28 PM
The redhead followed closely, and while her hands trembled, she clutched them tightly so that she could hide it. Hopefully, anyways. She didn't like this tenseness between them. They were just fine a few days ago... or even just yesterday... What happened between them that would change how easy the two could get along? Rosalia sat down across from Seifer just as any normal table of two would sit. A waiter walked over to give the pair menus, and to take drink orders. Rosalia ordered hot tea, like she had earlier in the day, simply because the sweetness could relax her. Once the waiter had taken Seifer's drink order and walked away, the female picked up her menu and started looking through it. "So... anything you think looks good?..." she asked, trying to start up a casual conversation. But her voice was softer than usual, and the air about them was awkward as it is.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 19, 2015, 10:54:12 PM
"Just water please..." Seifer had ordered his drink just before the water left, taking the menu up and looking it over. "I uh... I like the idea of shrimp right now honestly... Mmmm..." as they started to talk about it though, he actually relaxed a little bit. This still felt right, and there was still a tense air about them but... It felt nice now, at least to him. He felt relaxed. "Hey the lobster looks good to... What do you think?" he asked, looking over the edge of the menu at the female across from him.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 19, 2015, 10:59:59 PM
"Hm... Oh, look here. There's like, a big sampler meal. It's.. kinda expensive, but we could probably share it. It's got like, everything on it. Lobster and crab, shrimp three ways, even some salmon... Wanna try that? I can pay for half then if you'd like," Rosalia pointed out, tapping the selection on his menu. "And then it comes with desert too, unless you wanna stop somewhere else to get something.. or nothing at all. Maybe it'll be a lot more food than we think..." As she spoke, the stuttering became less apparent, though she did hesitate now and then, thinking carefully about what to say. But, she started to relax. It started to feel just like they were before; no awkward silence or avoiding each other's gaze. It was normal... kinda... There was still this unexplained tightness she felt, something that the more she thought about it, the more she became confused on just what it was.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 19, 2015, 11:03:38 PM
Seifer looked where he finger pointed nodding in agreement. Yeah the sampler might be a good idea honestly. They could get some of everything it looked like. Just little portions. And they could both share and get what they wanted. Wait share? Whatever, it was nice just being like this. "Sure, and if we have room for desert I'll take you to get some fudge or ice cream or something." he smiled, folding his menu over and placing it on the table. They were ready to order, and while they were obviously very relaxed, the tightness stayed as well. He decided to ignore it since thinking about it would only frustrate him because he had no idea what it was or why it was there.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 19, 2015, 11:08:47 PM
"Fudge? Or ice cream? How about fudge ice cream? Or ice cream with fudge topping... Ok, now I'm hungry," Rosalia admitted, twirling a thick curl between her fingers. As the waiter came back with their drinks, he took their order and walked off again, leaving the pair alone, save for any other patrons currently at the restaurant. Actually, it wasn't very crowded, so it was nice and quiet and relaxed. But while the pair were waiting for their meal, the redhead sipped at her tea, looking over the brunette. She wondered.. just what had changed... Was it the way one of them acted? Well, Rosalia was stepping more out of her shell by the day, but that wouldn't cause them to grow apart, would it? If anything, they would be closer, more open to each other... She sighed softly, her thoughts not getting her anywhere. "Hm.. So, hopefully you don't have homework tonight. You could have done it while I was practicing but.. yeah.."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 19, 2015, 11:14:59 PM
"Uh... Yeah sure. Ice cream with fudge sounds nice." he admitted, already hungry, and actually looking forward to the prospect of desert after dinner. After they ordered and while they were waiting though, they started up a casual conversation about homework thanks to Rosalia, though it wasn't bad. "I actually don't have any again today... I did it all in class before the club meeting." that was his answer and it was true. He caught on quickly to the ideas and teachings pretty much shoved down his throat during his classes, which made it easier to do his work and homework faster and more accurately. "How about you, you don't have any right? ...Wait what am I saying? You'd of done it while we were at home wouldn't you?" he asked this question to keep the casual conversation going. It was relaxing after the amount of tension they had to just be regular. Or as regular as these two get. The feelings, the tightness, what had changed between them to cause the tension, but whatever it was stopped mattering. He was just happy that she was there with him.

"Heh, yeah. I would have done it after, or maybe before I started my violin practice. I got it done during class, some of it while I was on break, but I had spent most of my break finding the Orchestra club adviser for the audition music." Rosalia explained, happy that they were at least talking on a normal basis again, as normal as they were anyways. Given their order, it didn't take too terribly long for their food to arrive. Along with a rather... large... dish placed in the center of them, containing all the seafood delights, rice was accompanied in a second dish, and two bowls set in front of the pair. The waiter also topped off their drinks just in case before moving on to take care of any other tables. "Well, let's dig in?" The slight awkwardness returned, but she brushed it off, dishing herself first some rice, then taking a shrimp from the platter and chewing carefully. "O-oh~ It's actually really good!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 19, 2015, 11:26:31 PM
At the food that was brought, Seifer sweat dropped a little bit. There seemed to be a lot, but when she said it was good, and that they should dig in, he quickly made his own plate. He poured some of the soy sauce that was set on the table onto his plate and mixed it in with his food and rice, taking a bite and smiling. It really was good. Taking a few more bites he shut his eyes while enjoying the flavors of it. Swallowing that bite he took a drink of the water and looked around for a moment, relaxing. "It's really peaceful here. ...It's... Almost like a dream now that I think about it." he didn't catch how it sounded, nor would he care if he did. It was just to nice and relaxing, and he just spoke really without thinking. For him it no longer really felt awkward, and everything just felt... warm, nice.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 19, 2015, 11:33:48 PM
"A dream?" Rosalia repeated, tilting her head a bit. She thought about it for a moment, glancing upwards at the ceiling as she took a piece of the crab meat to eat. She chewed slowly, thoughtfully, and swallowed before smiling to herself. "You're right... It is like a dream..." As if she had reached an epiphany, the female shut her eyes, savoring each moment of thought. Its more than a dream... like, a dream come true... Her entire body relaxed, eating slowly to enjoy each and every bite, each and every moment that passed, even in silence. She took a piece of fish with her rice, humming softly. "The fish and crab are really good too. Wanna try?" Now, this is where you're all thinking she's going to feed him, offering a bite of the crab with her chopsticks... Well, you'd be right. The redhead outstretched her arm, holding the bit of seafood carefully with a bright smile on her lips. "Say aaah?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 19, 2015, 11:41:19 PM
Seifer listened to her speak and hum, enjoying both the silence with her, and the way she broke the silence. It really was nice. But then the red head did something... Unexpected. She was going to feed him? He could just as easily taken it with his own chopsticks, but where's the fun in that? Instead, he leaned over with his face turned crimson and accepted the offer, taking the food off of her chopsticks and into his own mouth. Leaning back he chewed a bit before swallowing. "Yeah... It really is good..." his voice was just above a whisper. His chest warmed up again, and he was now pretty sure why, though he wasn't sure how he should express it, or even if he should. Actually here he didn't know anything to do. His face stayed a light shade of red, though most of it was now gone.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 19, 2015, 11:48:43 PM
The redhead felt like her heart would burst out of her chest when the male complied, letting her feed him if just once. Rosalia giggled softly, her cheeks warm but not as dark as her hair would be. But it was one new thing after another. The female leaned forward herself, shutting her eyes. "My turn?... I don't care what I get. Maybe a shrimp or something," she said, not really whispering, but it wasn't like she was shouting either. They were still in a public restaurant, after all. And though she probably looked silly, it didn't stop Rosalia from waiting like that: eyes shut, and mouth open so she could eat whatever came along on the chopsticks.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 20, 2015, 12:04:58 AM
She seemed like she was having fun with this, but he wasn't going to deny her. He just merely complied, grabbing a bit of shrimp, crab, and rice and holding it out for her to take. He was nervous and his hand was shaking just a bit. Was she teasing him in some way? She did seem kind of ridiculous, and yet... Cute at the same time. ...Beautiful even. The mere thought brought back the crimson glow, but he continued to keep his offer extended for her.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 20, 2015, 12:09:55 AM
Rosalia took the bite graciously, leaning back in her chair normally as she chewed. She had gotten both shrimp and crab with the rice, and was having trouble not smiling. She had fed Seifer, and Seifer fed her. It was like they were a real couple, and after all the teasing all of their friends have done... The female's blush faded just slightly, more so because she was happy in it all, and it didn't seem quite as embarrassing anymore. "Hehe~ Thank you~" She took a few more bites herself, and thankfully didn't pull any more silly stunts until their dishes had been completely cleaned. "That looked like a lot of food... I don't think any single person could eat all of it, but we did pretty well with the two of us~ Did you wanna get desert here or somewhere else?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 20, 2015, 12:24:23 AM
Seifer's remained the same as it was when he fed her until they'd finished eating. It was nice, and they definitely couldn't of finished had they been alone, but they did it together. And he was admittedly happy they'd come here together. "Why don't we go get some ice cream? Not the kind in the bowl, but cones. I think that'd be fun yeah?" he offered, paying the bill and tipping as well. Maybe everything was turning out just right for him.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 20, 2015, 12:28:16 AM
The redhead nodded, though she did make a face when the male paid. On the way out, she poked his arm, before crossing both of her's over her chest. "Cones sounds good, but I did say I would pay for half of the meal if you wanted... It's not fair you keep spending your money on me," Rosalia frowned. She led the way out of the restaurant, making note to come back here again sometime, then headed for the closest ice cream shop. She remembered going to one before, when Satoshi gave them money to get something, but it was nice just going because they wanted to.. just the two of them..
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 20, 2015, 12:33:28 AM
The male poked her back sticking his tongue out at her a little bit. "It's just easier to pay all at once. Hey, you can buy the ice cream this time then if you really want to." he teased, walking at her side and closer than normal. It really was just the two of them, and it felt nice, far better than being in a crowded room all the time. With this thought in mind though, the male gently slipped his forefinger around her's as they walked, much like they did at the school. "So... What kind are you going to get?" he asked, looking down at Rosalia as they walked together, keeping his pace the same as hers was.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 20, 2015, 12:38:49 AM
"Hmph~ Well I guess you'll just have to pay for the ice cream too, since you're so willing. And I guess the man pays for most things when he's treating a lady~" Rosalia huffed in return. But, she couldn't help the soft warmth she felt in her chest and face as their forefinger's entwined. She was sure even her hands might be warm now, but she didn't dare pull away. She simply walked on, looking ahead with a sense of happiness in her step, each step breaking down the shell she hid in. "Hm... For ice cream cones... I want... a waffle cone! Wiiiith... Chocolate chip ice cream, and fudge and sprinkles and almonds on top~" she giggled, though she was definitely not getting a large cone if she was getting all of that. The seafood really was a good sized portion. "How about you? What're you in the mood for?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 20, 2015, 12:44:30 AM
Seifer let out a soft laugh at the tease, smiling at the red head, just as happy as she was. "Me?... I dunno... Maybe just a simple cone with chocolate dipped vanilla ice cream. Gotta love the classics sometimes." he replied with the same upbeat voice and smile he'd had for a little bit now. It seemed really slow, the motion that he did next, like an eternity passing, at least for him. But lightly he let their forefingers separate, only long enough to slide his hand between her hand and her hip, pressing their palms together lightly and entwining their fingers, the warmth of her hand and his together feeling both maybe a little bit awkward, but really nice as well. It was relaxing to him, even if his face turned a shade of red again. He was there, alone with her. She calmed his nerves and made him feel like everything was going to be okay.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 20, 2015, 12:50:40 AM
Rosalia rolled her eyes at the thought of a classic. Even for a shy girl, she had to have her sweets just right, with toppings galore. But she glanced at her companion when their fingers had parted, even if it was for just a moment. Did she say something wrong? Then her face lit up. They were officially holding hands, fingers interlocked, and walking in step. It was like without having to say a word, but them holding hands was like sealing the deal. The redhead looked away slightly, mostly so she could watch where she was going. While still walking in step, she squeezed his hand in return, even nudging him lightly with her arm. "S-so... guess the teasing was worth it?... From our friends, I mean.."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 20, 2015, 12:54:14 AM
The male squeezed and nudged back, nodding slightly as they walked, stopping only once they reached the ice cream shop. "Seems like it. ...It's funny really. ...Sometimes I guess people just see certain things before others do?" he suggested and asked at the same time, waiting for her to order first. She was the lady after all, as she had so blatantly teased him about. He thought it was funny, and cute as well. But like this, their hands together, not much else really mattered to him. It almost felt like they were in their own little world, a dream made reality.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 20, 2015, 12:58:59 AM
"I guess so?... I'm not sure what'll happen though if they find out at school or at the club..." The female hesitated, checking the ice cream selection before ordering her waffle cone, just what she had told Seifer a few moments ago. She did end up getting a small, having had enough sugar with her tea throughout the day. Well, she could never have enough sugar. The seafood platter did it in for her, but it was worth it to spend every moment she could with the brunette. It was a good thing they got cones as well; it meant they could still hold hands while eating their treats. Having gotten her cone, she ate it slowly, glancing around mostly in case their friends were watching from the shadows or something. Right now, this was their little date, and she didn't want anyone to interrupt them. "Guess we should go home then?... It's a little late, after all.."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 20, 2015, 01:02:50 AM
Seifer ordered his cone, just as he had said as well. A simple classic vanilla cone dipped in chocolate. Keeping their hands together he paid yet again after setting the cone down on a paper napkin on the counter, picking it back up napkin and all. Taking a small bite he savored the mix of hardened chocolate and the cold ice cream as they walked together. "I suppose we should yeah.. It is getting a little late and maybe everything will start closing down soon. ...Yeah let's go on home." he replied between a few tiny bites. He was glad no one else showed up really, since it made this time with her even more enjoyable for him.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 20, 2015, 07:49:02 PM
After waking up, and thinking about what had happened the previous night, the male made his way back here... Leaving a note for Rosalia like he always did, though it had about eight booster packs hidden up under it. He'd actually gotten them awhile ago, but with everything that had been happening he wasn't able to give them to her, usually just forgetting. The note had read that he was going to go to the shopping district again and roam around a bit, while apologizing for being so late on giving her the booster packs. The night before seemed like a hazy dream, but it really happened... didn't it? ...He hoped it did because it was one of the happiest nights of his life and he doubted he'd be able to continue on if it wasn't real. Then again that's probably over exaggerating.

Sitting at his usual cafe table, Satoshi was lost in his thoughts. He didn't sleep well because of the events that had occurred recently. It was hard to lose consciousness in that room again, after what had happened in it. He rubbed his forehead. Staying awake had proven to be a challenge as well, regardless. He was mostly waiting on Fortuna to return some kind of information to him about the ring, but...

Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero contact.

He took a sip of coffee. Haruka really had gotten him addicted to the stuff. It was relief when it needed to be these days. He stared out at the street, pondering over what to do for the evening. Something crossed his mind, however, and he pulled out his phone.

There was someone he needed to clear some things up with, even if they didn't feel the same.

Hey, Seifer. Is there a chance we can hang out a little bit? There's some stuff I need to get off my chest.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 20, 2015, 10:41:34 PM
Seifer was just wandering about the shopping district when he felt his phone buzz in his pocket. At first he thought it was Rosalia, but then he saw it was Satoshi. 'Wonder what it is he has to talk to me about?' as he walked along the streets he began quickly typing up the response text. 'Sure, where are you?' he pressed send before glancing up. He was just outside the coffee shop, noticing the other male. As the male walked over Satoshi would probably just now be getting his text, with Seifer waving. "What's up?"

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 20, 2015, 10:48:46 PM
Rosalia slowed to a walk from her run, having dashed out of the park with a quick leave. Hopefully Neo and the others didn't think badly of her rather curt departure, but she did have a goal in mind. She just got distracted along the way... The redhead hummed to herself as she walked along the streets, looking around at the shops. As a girl, it was no surprise she way getting distracted again by shiny things situated in the windows, wondering just what sort of things she should get one day. Actually.. should I get Seifer something?... I don't even know what he would like though... I don't ever see him wearing a pendant either... she thought with a sigh. Rosalia walked away in disappointment from the jewelry shop, pulling out her phone and looking through her contacts. She still didn't have anyone else's number, forgetting to ask them again and the park situation would have been perfect... So all she had were old numbers from her tutors, her parents', and Seifer. Just seeing his name in her contact list felt a bit different now, smiling probably like an idiot at her phone. Guess I should send him a text.. make sure he's still actually in the shopping district...

'Hey Seifer~ You still shopping? I got the packs you left.'

Post by: Beryl on September 20, 2015, 10:53:32 PM
Satoshi gave a wave, smiling as he felt his phone buzz. Seifer had probably just sent a text and then looked up. "That was fast," he joked. He gestured to the seat across from him. "Here, have a seat.'

His smile faded a bit. "Mostly because I need to apologize to you a little."

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 20, 2015, 10:56:39 PM
Seifer's phone buzzed again as he sat down, noticing this time it really was from Rosalia. Texting her back he told her which coffee shop he was at as well as the fact that Satoshi was there. Putting his phone away he looked at the other male. "Apologize for what?" he asked, keeping an even face that really didn't show any type of emotion other than the fact that Satoshi had Seifer's attention.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 20, 2015, 11:05:23 PM
Rosalia was back to window-shopping when she received the text, and obviously it was from Seifer. But a second later, her phone started to ring. Who the heck is call- oh! She clicked 'answer'. "Hey Mom~" The redhead moved to the closest alley, taking just a few steps in so she could talk without disturbing random pedestrians. Her mom confirmed sending her package as soon as possible, and should arrive tomorrow during school, though Rosalia would have to get it after Cardfight Club. As the last of her call came to a close, the female was on her way to the coffee shop, hanging up and putting her phone away just as she walked in the door. It wasn't hard to find Seifer, noticing Satoshi a moment later. She walked over to the pair of males, only to hug Seifer from behind, even with the chair between them. "Sorry I'm late~ Hopefully I'm not interrupting?..." she explained, adjusting so that she was now sitting next to Seifer, hugging his arm and resting her head on his shoulder.

Satoshi put down his mug, crossing his arms a bit. "Well...I feel like we got off on the wrong foot. The money I gave you...you probably thought it was a lot, right?" He shook his head. "Recently, I've not been able to be around people, and so anything I can do for others, I just...I want to be able to do it, because it matters to me." He bit his lip a bit. "And I feel bad, because I flirted with your ladyfriend a little, but you're both interesting, and..."

So many things, running through his mind. He even wanted to mention the ring. But...

"I feel guilty that I asked you to do stuff like we know each other that well. Like when I messaged you about practicing a bit." He shrugged. "It's not really my place."

He noticed Rosalia had shown up, which made him blush a bit that he had brought her up. Whoops.

Yugure found herself in a bit of an aimless wander. Knowing two important people in her life are more than likely disgusted with her presence was indescribable. It's not like she could blame Hana for being sick of her, and Haruka for probably not wanting to see her for her unannounced disappearance. It wasn't her fault, really. The matter would have to be explained, but would he even listen...? ... Taking a deep breath, the paladins help rationalize that she was over-exaggerating. Only two days in and the soldier is panicking inside. Right, keeping herself composed was how to win a war.

While getting a hold of herself, she took note of Satoshi in the coffee shop with... somebody. The lion warrior spoke up, stating that it was a man from a year ago on the New York stage. He was one of the five champions, even. There was a girl in there with them too. ... But they were in the coffee shop. A year of bloody training still couldn't remove the systematic nausea that came with the smell of caffeine.

The champion might be helpful, yet, she couldn't very well just speak of it in front of Satoshi when it was decided he wasn't mentally prepared to assist.

Despite not having a real plan, the doors opened as she entered.

Seifer listened to the other male, even as he felt a pair of arms wrap around him, and a familiar voice rang out close to him. It was a voice he enjoyed hearing now more than ever. "Not much, we just started talking." the brunette told the red head, moving his frame to allow her to lean against his shoulder and side comfortably. "Well, long as you don't anymore, I guess it's fine. But asking to practice I don't think is a bad thing, just don't make a habit out of it." he replied to Satoshi, glancing up as someone he vaguely recognized from a year ago. What she was doing here now... He had no idea, but his gaze drifted back to Satoshi and waited for his response first.

Rosalia relaxed with her companion, clinging to his arm carefully so that it wasn't too tight. She didn't know what they were talking about before, but the redhead only smiled at Satoshi. "Thanks for paying for ice cream before~ It was really nice of you. We'll have to treat you in return somehow.. Do you like homemade cookies?" she asked casually. She had already grabbed cooking ingredients when she and Seifer had their grocery trip, but she didn't have time to bake anything yet. This would be a nice 'thank you', and maybe she could make extra to bring to the Cardfight club. But as she felt Seifer move slightly, Rosalia followed his gaze to another girl that had entered the coffee shop. Maybe they knew each other?... Last time she thought that, it was completely confusing Noel for a stalker instead of his sister. But.. perhaps now, it felt a bit different? She didn't say anything to the stranger as the other girl hasn't approached yet. Instead, Rosalia released Seifer's arm, wrapping her arms instead about his waist so she was curled up into his side. Mmm... warm...

Post by: Beryl on September 20, 2015, 11:55:58 PM
Satoshi nodded. "Thanks for understanding." He was about to respond to Rosalia, but then...

Yukino was there. A bit out of the blue, but then he put two and two together. Seifer was here and Seifer was a champion. Likely, she was here for him in some way, since he had brought the young man up in their dinner conversation. Of course, she was going to be disappointed if she was expecting something out of him, after the last conversation he had with him about the War of Liberation.

He acknowledged the Chosen Sword with a nod.

Yugure felt like she was intruding... Still, the excuse of patrolling - scouting out the city could be used. It was sort of instinctive, unsure why the action of bothering them was taken. The other girl was definitely completely unfamiliar to her. "Hello", she greeted everyone, returning Satoshi's nod directly. Spending time with a friend would be nice, and having new allies would be better... The problem is she still can't properly interact with people.

"I-Is there room for another?"

The woman stuttered for a second.

"I don't see why not. There's a fourth chair so..." he motioned to the empty chair at the other side of the table, next to Rosalia. He wasn't expecting however, the red head to of wrapped her arms around his waist and practically press herself into his side. He didn't notice her look at Yukino beforehand though, so the action brought a light red glow to his cheeks. This was definitely new, since he'd never actually interacted with Yukino herself. His last memory of her was the lights flying past his head, and then her passing out. "What brings you here?" he asked her directly, locking his eyes on her while adjusting his body a bit more so that now this time he was comfortable, having to put his arm around Rosalia now.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 21, 2015, 12:11:26 AM
The redhead smiled blissfully as she felt Seifer's arm around her, even if it was just to make himself more comfortable with her clinging to his torso. Not that she minded. She was as happy as could be, only brought out of her 'happy world' when the other female spoke. This time, Rosalia examined her fully, and.. the other girl stuttered? It was strangely ironic, simply because Rosalia herself was just getting used to interacting with others. It was a lot easier with Seifer by her side, and making this connection, the redhead nodded to the other girl, speaking confidently for once. "Take a seat~ My name is Rosalia Mooncrest. And it's okay if you don't recognize me. You're one of Seifer's friends, right? I only met Seifer about a year ago, so I'm still learning everyone's names. It's nice to meet you~"

Post by: Cherry on September 21, 2015, 12:14:24 AM
"Lonely night", Yugure responded to the man. Seeing the other girl on this champion and how he responded made it clear they were a couple. A wish was made - the desire to have never seen this. It wasn't their fault, but it was still unsettling. All the Sword could do was keep quiet about her angst. Be nice - friendly! Communicate. Things people normally do in get-togethers. The things she did with Satoshi at dinner, with Haruka... With... Haru-

Goddammit.

Taking a seat, words started coming out without thinking about it. "We didn't get to properly meet one another last year... did we? My name is Yugure, it's nice to meet you and your friend here. I hope you're both getting along with Satoshi."

Was that right? The soldier added a kind, introduction smile to that as well.

It wasn't that hard to notice certain... aspects... about Yugure that showed she was just about as awkward as Rosalia was in conversation, or so it seemed. At least for Seifer anyway. In any case, when the female sat down, he kept his eyes on her since she had his current focus. "We didn't get a chance to, though you probably already know my name, I'm Seifer Leo. Obviously the..." his voice trailed off at the end him almost mentioning the War of Liberation topic and him being a champion. "In any case it's nice to meet you face to face and actually talk to you." it was true, he always tried to make friends with everyone unless they just weren't friendly. She seemed friendly enough though, even with the somewhat obvious awkwardness in interactions.

Post by: Cherry on September 21, 2015, 12:51:36 AM
"Seifer... Rosalia... Seifer... Rosalia..." Yugure began repeating their names, engraving them into memory. It distracted her from the fact that it looked like the champion could see right through the inability to talk normally. Doing the best at keeping up that friendly expression, it was noted that he almost sounded like bragging. "Obviously" the champion of a clan. He should be proud of it.

"I only heard your name once, and didn't get to memorize it at the time... My apologies. Did you come here to see Satoshi?" On top of an apology, a random guess was made for the reason concerning this gathering. The farmboy could just simply be seeing a friend with coffee. ... Maybe she shouldn't pry into their business, and regret was forming.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 21, 2015, 12:58:36 AM
Rosalia listened quietly to the conversation. Though she was here, she didn't have much of a place to talk. This Yugure girl at least knew of Seifer and Satoshi from year before, when the redhead knew nothing about what was transpiring at the time. She was given a brief explanation for the most part, but she also knew how the talk of the war seemed to bother Seifer... She shifted slightly, her grasp loosening around the brunette's torso, simply relaxing while the others talked. Eventually, she stifled a small yawn, but otherwise started to doze. I could use some tea right now... Rosalia considered getting up to get a drink if just to keep herself awake, but she was so relaxed... and Seifer was like a personal, warm pillow... Soon enough, she was sleeping soundly, forgetting the fact that they were in public.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 01:02:10 AM
Seifer quietly listened as Yugure tried to memorize their names, noticing that she seemed to already know Satoshi's by heart. That was understandable, since Seifer himself didn't know anyone until just last year, and there was no telling really how long everyone else had been around here without asking them. In any case as the female apologized he should his head. "You don't need to apologize. I don't mind meeting new people, or getting know know others. So it's not a big deal, he just wanted to talk to me." I was then he noticed though that the red head's grip had loosened and he pulled her up just a bit without waking her, keeping her up right as she slept against him.

Post by: Beryl on September 21, 2015, 01:15:11 AM
Satoshi remained silent. He thought there would be more to say, and once again, the black ring crossed his mind to ask about. But...

Lock away your problems, Kurosaki. The voice again...

He stood up suddenly, feeling a bit uncomfortable. He didn't want to have any kind of an outburst around other people, that was inconsiderate of him. He nodded curtly to Seifer, thanking him again silently for letting him apologize, and rushed out the door, forgetting to acknowledge Yukino again as well.

She probably she was being socially awkward, but there was no doubt that that would change her mind a bit. His mind racing, he decided the best place to be would end up being the beach.

Post by: Cherry on September 21, 2015, 01:42:55 AM
Yugure didn't even get a chance to call out the name of her friend before he bolted out the door. What on earth got into him? It felt like he barely took note of her... The woman bit her lip, having seen the people she cared about scurry away from her as fast as possible. A smile that was supposed to be warm and inviting to new comrades turned into a scowl of sorrow. I never should have come back, was the thought that rang in mind.

The soldier sat there, a confused mess, trying to figure out what to do.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 01:51:00 AM
Seifer watched as Satoshi had run out, not knowing why he did so, he frowned. He'd try to talk to him later about what had just occurred. However, when his attention switched back to Yugure he gave a soft sigh shaking his head. "Not that it's my place, nor should you really take what I say to heart, but for someone like you, that look doesn't suit you. ...I don't really know what's going on, and I won't pry any further than anyone lets me..." he took a moment to mull over his next choice of words before opening his mouth to speak again. "...How about instead of me continuing to act stupid, and say the wrong things, you tell me why you really came here." he was more direct and firm with the next statement, but his face was actually kind and understanding. Probably an odd mix of signals.

... The job of this knight was to gather warriors for the oncoming onslaught. A nightmare in which they would have to do what they can to survive. Being sad wasn't part of her job description. Seifer was right, it didn't suit her. "Thank you." Gratitude was expressed before hearing an inquiry for why she actually came in. Honestly, the thought of new friends sounded really nice. However, pressing matters came before her heart.

"... I need your assistance as a champion. We're all going to be in danger soon", stating similar things said to Hikaru, she went on. "I need people who want to survive, and want others to survive."

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 02:04:17 AM
The brunette remained quiet for a few moments staring blankly at the female before him. Trouble? Survival? He took one glance at Rosalia's sleeping form, still leaned against him before looking back at Yugure. She had even mentioned the word champion. So it was something about that again. The same thing that he had asked both Satoshi and Neo to not bring up anymore. However here she was, asking for his assistance in something else. He opened his mouth to decline it, and yet... "...Just what do you mean danger. What do you mean you need people that want to survive."

"Otherworldly beings are going to come to us... They're more advanced than us, incredibly ruthless, and won't stop until..."

Beginning from her nightmares of a year's past, the reality was a vision she dreaded. As cruel as it seemed, the woman hoped the sight Seifer's beloved peacefully sleeping the night away would give him drive. When a person or object precious to a warrior was on the line, it tended to bring out latent potential. That's how she wanted to believe it was for Exculpate and her powers.

"I can't give all the details yet. I'll... be able to give them to all of you freely soon enough."

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 02:16:01 AM
Otherwordly beings... "...I'll help on one condition." Seifer paused again, this time his face becoming deathly serious, which was definitely not normal for him, though she may not of been able to tell. "If this is going to involve those around me, you tell me the details in full now. I want to help, and Rose here being in danger is more than enough... But last year..." he sighed this time shutting his eyes. "I got in over my head last year. I failed. This time I want to know every detail I can so I can prepare. That's my condition. No secrets, no hiding the truth." opening his eyes as he finished, Seifer waiting for Yugure's answer. What she chose to do here would determine what path he took.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cherry on September 21, 2015, 02:59:38 AM
"I'd give you the exact details if I was allowed to", the soldier stated, not meeting his demands. "This is different from last year, we're not aiming to win once everything starts. I can tell you that these beings control the power to seal away entire beings. Not only that, but they can greatly twist the workings of a heart."

At the very least, she could tell him that. Anything to let Seifer know that hiding the truth and keeping secrets isn't a task she wanted to fulfill. Nevertheless, it was one she had to. A quiet sigh was let out, knowing that this would be unsatisfactory. Still, an attempt had to be made.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 03:19:40 AM
Seifer gave a soft sigh at the response, staying silent for several moments and increasing the tension in the air. His face showed that he was slightly annoyed with her answer, but while it was not the answer he wanted, he got enough information to make a choice. "Almost like mind control. M'kay..." without a word he shifted Rosalia's weight lifting her up onto his back like a piggy back ride, placing his number written down on a slip of paper in front of Yugure, his eyes a soft crimson in the shadow of his bangs. "When whoever is pulling your strings decides to say that you are allowed to tell the people who's lives are at stake every detail, contact me. I've decided I'm going to help for now... If for no reason other than to just protect Rose." shifting the red head on his back a bit more so that she wouldn't fall, he stood fully, his eyes shifting from crimson to a sky blue. "I'm sure I'm not the only one you've spoken to, and I'll be honest right now. ...If certain things hadn't happened over the previous couple of days, I would of walked out on you the moment you started talking about this. ...I wanted to get away from the past and try to enjoy my life, and Vanguard again. ...Keep in mind the lives that are at risk here. It's not just me, whoever's ordering you around, or you. It's people who are not even involved... If what you said is true. ...And while I find it hard to believe, I'm going to put my faith in your words. I just hope the puppet master in this scenario understands that lives aren't play things and secrets aren't something to be kept when danger is just around the corner." he didn't speak the last bit with any venom, nor did he display any malice. It was a rather even look and tone he wore the entire time. She probably got an answer completely different from what she expected, and maybe more dialogue from him than she could of wanted, but he spoke his mind in order to convey the severity of the situation from his point of view. "One more thing. Even if the other people you ask are more willing to do what you say, without questioning anything... At least tell them what you told me, about the sealing and heart warping." with that, he actually gave a small, somewhat comforting and seemingly out of place smile given the weight of what was being talked about. Shifting one more time so that he was absolutely sure that the red head on his back wouldn't fall, he made his way out of the coffee shop, and toward his house.

It wasn't a venomous response, which was nice. Calling her real commander some sort of puppet master wasn't very appreciated, however. Still, it was to be expected from one who had to be kept in the dark. Of course lives were at stake, that's why Yugure didn't dare get anyone's hopes up. Humanity was going to be torn apart and mangled before getting even a slight glimpse at a lasting victory. Taking the slip with the number, she met his eye contact with one gratitude and utmost dedication to the effort. Hopefully, her expression was taken to heart and not for granted. "I wanted to get away from my past too."

The disgusting time of her former selves made her stomach churn. Enjoying Vanguard was a far away dream for the girl, however. But it wasn't for Seifer and Rosalia. Thankfully, despite how the man felt, he agreed to assist. "Thank you. I'll tell you everything when I can. And I'll tell the others about the sealing and heart manipulation."

Tsubasa, Hikaru and gang, along with Seifer. A militia more powerful than this would be necessary, but required those who could steel themselves. Adding the number to her phone, she noticed Satoshi requested her presence at the beach. Time to go after him.

Slipping on his gloves and getting to the coffee bar, he leaned against a wall, propping himself up while texting Shiki.

"at stargatebucks, head over asapppp < o , o < > o , o > -haru"

He started on his famous Royal Brew-Irish Creme blend with vanilla and a bit less than a dash of cinnamon. He was excited to have Shiki taste-test this for him... but also he had a bit of venting to do today. Haruka was actually a tad bit worried about how Shiki would take all of this. Does Shiki ever get serious outside of Cardfights? And even then he isn't really THAT serious... Hmm...

Post by: Nobody on September 21, 2015, 03:00:05 PM
Thankfully, he was already on his way out so it didn't take long for Shiki to arrive at his destination as guided by Haruka's amazing messages. Hell, this time he didn't even get lost, what a miracle.

Shiki greeted Haruka with a wave, and sat at some table close to him because standing is for fit people.

"Here I am, what's up?"

Post by: Jello on September 21, 2015, 03:03:51 PM
Sliding the new concoction of coffee over to Shiki, Haruka seated himself in front of Shiki. It's easier to talk when you can chat face-to-face anyways. He had some interesting news for the guy.

"I've been cheating on my girlfriend with an idol who is also my girlfriend's sister. I've been getting eaten alive by guilt but then I also really like the idol cause she's been helping me get on my feet and standing by me when my girlfriend was absent but I'm still cheating and that's really messed up so I need help. Shiki. Help me."

Haruka was leaning over the table talking to Shiki, maybe a bit too close for comfort. But getting the point across was the big deal here. He was really worried and Shiki seemed like a maybe, sort of, semi-viable choice to vent too.

"Also try this coffee I made. It should be good but I don't know what you like so, ehh." He scratched behind his ear, sitting back down in his seat casually.

Post by: Nobody on September 21, 2015, 03:11:46 PM
This situation was rather, new for Shiki. His skills in picking up girls were lacking and he never really had any close friend to ever have that sort of talk. Needless to say, at first he was confused, but then thinking mode engaged.

"Take them both, ofcourse!" was the first thing that came to mind, but that wasn't the right thing to say right? Afterall, Haruka's a friend.

"Talk with the girlfriend about her disappereance?" he asked, taking a sip from the mug, tasting it a bit and then tilting his head left and right, eyes pointed upwards while he was trying to form an opinion on the taste.

"This is.. pretty good actually!"

Post by: Jello on September 21, 2015, 03:20:50 PM
First, Haruka gave a slight fist pump of success for Shiki's like of his coffee. Another point for the coffee-making community. But also, he became slightly concerned with Shiki's idea. Confronting Yukino about her disappearance was a risky idea, considering she would definitely feel entitled to ask questions back. Like.

Why are you always with Hana?

Are you cheating on me with Hana?

We're through.

For some reason every time he imagined seeing Yukino, he felt as though it would go exactly like that. And that made him have mini panic-attacks on the spot. He took a couple of deep breaths before returning to Shiki's idea.

"I could do that, yeah... I'm just not sure if I should tell her about the cheating as well. Do you think she'd forgive me? I mean, Yukino is pretty rock solid recently..."

He sort of used a weird analogy to mean she had a rigid personality, but it could also be misconstrued as "not flexible" or something. Awkward. However, Shiki was right about at least talking to her. Haruka had spent so much time in Hana's arms and not his own girlfriend's. That was already a bit off as is.

So, remember when I called you the scum of the Earth? You still are.

... Only sort of, My Vanguard. Only sort of.

"You know what those repetitious internet slangs that everyone seems to repeat untill their death for no reason and that somehow spread across the entire word say, you only live once." he exclaimed, slowly drinking Haruka's own experiment over the course of this conversation.

"E-Eh.... YOLO?" Haruka sat there a bit dumbfounded. At least Haruka found out that Shiki seemed to have a decent knowledge of the internet. Maybe he was normally a shut-in?

"Hey Shiki, err, I know I called you out here for my problems but what about you... anything been bothering you recently? Uh, women troubles? School not going so well? Trouble sleeping at night?"

Haruka was listing off his own normal problems in a vague notion as a way that Shiki might be able to relate. Hopefully.

After a second to think very, very, very hard about it, Shiki shook his head "Nope, not in the slightest.. maybe minus the part where this sock is really uncomfortable to wear.", after the response he took yet another sip from the mug, and added "I don't go to school, no need."

Satoshi stepped into StarGateBucks. He didn't normally go here, but the cafe he typically went to wasn't open for some reason. Unlike other days, where he tended to wear a long, flowing white coat, he was in his old tanktop. It was a bit of a warmer day today, and he felt like he needed to breathe a bit more.

He noticed Haruka conversing with...was it Shiki? He really had to remember names.

"Room for one more?" He smiled and gave a little wink. It had been a little while since he had talked to his other Triadmate.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on September 21, 2015, 03:53:40 PM
Haruka laughed a little, realizing this man must be the freest man out there. No worries in life, doesn't attend school, kind of just does whatever he wants. And he gets to play Vanguard?

Haruka was contemplated a life switch if Shiki was up for it. But then he realized seeing Yukino and Hana everyday without being able to be with either of them would actually drive him mad so he immediately dropped the idea.

"Well, do you have any dreams then?" Haruka was actually trying to figure out what Shiki wanted to do with his life when he got older, but hearing about his actual dreams would be pretty interesting. Shiki is quite the, eh, colorful individual.

"Tell me about 'em." Haruka made himself a quick espresso by the counter really quick while allowing Shiki to gather his thoughts. He tended to do that often whenever they spoke, but that's okay. It means he was actually taking time to give valid responses, and that made Haruka a bit happier.

Suddenly a sound approached from behind. Satoshi? No way...

"Where have you been? No messages, not really coming to see me? You would be in so much trouble if I were your mother you know. Sit down there." Haruka pointed to a seat on the side in between Haruka and Shiki.

There, he was done with coffee, for the time being anyways. He also didn't pay any real attention to the guy that just arrived, he felt familiar but he couldn't really remember him, so it must be Haruka's friend. Or something.

Haruka stopped with the coffee he was making, sort of staring at the machine in front of him.

"How is she?" Haruka asked, finishing up with his cup. He made it, and drank it, without really sitting back down. He felt a bit worse than he thought he would at that remark. But he knew he sort of deserved the low blow, intentional or not. Yukino didn't need him anymore, Haruka was convinced. Until Yukino could really show otherwise, and for some god forsaken reason, she still wanted him after all he had done behind her back... he knew his only place was at Hana's side.

Against his moral code, sure, but at least he had a place there. That was the resolution for the time being.

"Ah, Shiki. Thanks for coming again, I forgot to say that earlier. I hope you feel better from the past few days." Haruka smiled, finally sitting back down at the table with a second cup of coffee. He was lightly gritting his teeth. Maybe not angry at anyone particularly, but himself in a few respects.

"No problem man, speaking of which I should probably go rest a bit.. and read.. hm.. well, see you around." he lifted himself up from the table, and slowly made his way back to his house.

On his way, he actually admired how Haruka managed to date two girls at once, for Shiki that'd be borderline impossible and that guy just made it happen as if it was nothing. What a great guy.

"Hard to tell." Satoshi put his arms behind his head. "You know how it is with her. Tryin' to be the Chosen Sword and having a duty and all that again kinda made her a bit, y'know, distant again." Recounting the beach last night, he debated telling Haruka about the black ring and what he had discovered about it, which was the detailed reason as to why he was busy, but he decided against it. At least for now.

"What've you and Hana been up to recently? I see you two hanging out a lot. Is it just school?" He kicked a leg over the other. Noticing Shiki was on his way out, he gave a nod and smile of acknowledgement. The guy really didn't seem that bad at all.

Haruka scoots over one seat to the left after Shiki left, allowing Satoshi and Haruka to both be facing each other instead of the two sitting awkwardly next to each other. So Satoshi was interested with what was going on with Haruka and Hana... Figures. They'd been hanging out together nearly every day since just before school started. It was actually a bit too commonplace.

Well, Shiki just left, and Haruka still needed advice on the women situation... ehh... has Satoshi ever dated someone though? Haruka tried to be optimistic.

He tried.

"We've been hanging out a lot for a few reasons, I guess." He sipped his coffee, debating the information in his head. Trustworthy? Anyone was close enough. If Satoshi were to backstab him anyways, well, Haruka could always rely on Sera. Or some other means of disposal.

"Me and Hana have been spending nights together... Yukino had been gone for so long without notice. So I ended up, well, doing stuff with Hana. Kissing, cuddling. Normal couple stuff... It's been weird, I guess." He took another sip, nonchalantly mentioning his new relationship with the idol. He wasn't sure how else to make it more clear either.

"Now that Yukino is back, thoughts have been stirring. I've actually been wondering what I should do. Shiki already gave me his piece... what do you think?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Beryl on September 21, 2015, 04:49:52 PM
Satoshi blinked. <What.> He cleaned out his ear with his pinky finger, making a motion as if he didn't hear him right.

No, Haruka had just said, plain as day, that he had cheated on Yukino with her own sister. Her younger, popular idol sister. Haruka. This guy. How could he do that? What in his right mind was making him choose Hana over Yukino? They had been so perfect together, and made the Triad stick together more often than not because of their bonds growing tighter. How could he actively throw a stone in the middle of---

"They made it through the year with moving forward. That's admirable in itself..."

...Come to think of it, if the Chosen Sword herself had no qualms with a year being time to move forward, then was it actually an issue that her boyfriend decided to see other people? Did it not make sense that someone who decided to separate herself from the rest of humanity for a year because of some oh-so-important duty get to keep everything she had in the past, when she keeps advocating for people to move on with their lives and leave the past behind?

Satoshi was initially going to chew him out, but now found himself nodding in agreement towards Haruka's decision. If the two of them were happy and able to kindle a new flame to replace the one that had doused itself, then there was no reason to dampen it.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but you made a good choice." He rubbed his forehead a little, letting it settle that he was basically turning his back on Yukino. "Yuki's been away for how long, a year? More than that? And she hasn't said a word to any of us until now, and here she is, acting like nothing should have changed, and that something big's going to happen and she needs to rally people again like she's some kind of general..." Haruka hadn't necessarily been told any of this, from what he was led to believe, so it felt reasonable to the farmboy to let some details of their meetings come up. "She's even likely been targeting people that were associated with the War of Liberation, people who don't want anything to do with something nuts like that again so soon after those hardships."

He shook his head. "I can't say I'm too sympathetic to her right now, and considering how she was to Hana last year, most of the way through...it blew my mind that you two got together in the first place, last year, and it would probably blow my mind again if you somehow decided to favor her over her sister at this point."

A sweatdrop formed on the back of his head. This was likely the worst advice he could possibly give, because he cherished honesty over anything else, and he could feel his hand wanting to collide with his face for saying it. But all the same, with what he had to work with to justify it...was it really that dishonest to say that Haruka's feelings could have faded just a tad for his former love? Not especially. It was plausible. His mother had talked about it with him once, how she and his father managed to stay together because they lived, worked, and laughed together. Being apart breaks that up a bit.

He started to fiddle with his torn knuckles a bit. He accidentally forgot to wear his knuckle-gloves that covered the bruises, so they were peeling a bit.

Satoshi was apparently on board with Haruka and the path he was currently on. Haruka leaned back in his seat, still on that coffee spree. He tended to go to it for answers, even though it didn't actively respond, it allowed him to think a bit more clearly. After a sip and some seconds of thought, Haruka sighed. He wasn't expecting Satoshi to tell him that, and he wasn't particularly disappointed or anything. It just wasn't what he expected to he was trying to figure out what sort of opinion to form from what Satoshi and Shiki told him.

"Hmm... Yeah, that was my thought process. She was gone for so long... I thought she might have died for a bit, but her father reassured me that she was alive and well." He turned his attention to Satohi's hands for a moment, only to get a glimpse of some discoloration. It definitely worried him a good deal, but a lot of stuff was going on at the moment. He would ask him about it next time for sure, but right now Haruka was focusing on the big idea.

"I think I'm gonna tell her about it at least... It's not fair to lie to her. She deserves to at least know the situation. I mean, I don't know when. But I definitely will tell her." Haruka ruffled up his hair, coming to a strange yet doable conclusion. It was the best option he could salvage up. Except it was still a half-baked answer, considering he hadn't actually decided when or how he would explain this whole deal to her...

"Doesn't mean I don't still love her though. I can't just let her go so easy..." Haruka finished his coffee, leaving sugary dregs at the bottom of the Styrofoam cup.

Post by: Beryl on September 21, 2015, 05:12:57 PM
"Well, she's likely going to kill you. Or, Mr. Espoir would," Satoshi chuckled nervously.

Actually, that was something he didn't think of. Dad was going to destroy Haruka for fooling around with both of his prized daughters. At the same time, though, as far as he was aware, Hana was her own woman now, despite still going to school, and rumor had it she had her own penthouse suite. And Yukino was growing up to be that destined soldier he always wanted. So with both of them being much more adult...did it actually matter that much at all? If anything, what was really going to happen was that, once again, Yukino would have something to be all weepy, sad and depressed about. Which was somewhat annoying, but unlike losing her clan, this was something she could get over, and should get over, because it was a part of life.

"I wouldn't worry about it that much, though. If both of his daughters are their own women now, their lives are out of his hands, no matter what he says." He gnawed at his knuckle a little.

Once again, the voice he had heard, two days ago now, resonated in his brain. "Lock away your problems, Kurosaki." Giving similar advice to Haruka didn't seem that wrong, especially if it would destress him a little. He motioned to the counter. "Mind making me a cinnamon espresso? I'm hankering spice today."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on September 21, 2015, 05:33:07 PM
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, nearly forgetting about Mr. Espoir, Satoshi came to the same realization these women are on their own now. He wasn't going to be the one taking care of them everyday like he used to.

"On it boss, just a moment."

Haruka leapt up from his seat and put his barista-workmanship to the test once more. Cinnamon espresso was pretty easy to do since it was all machine work, not a lot of actual ingredient or proportional stuff. It was all work-automated. But he still added his own splash of French Vanilla creamer for sweetening. Works like a charm for new and veteran caffeine addicts alike.

"Here you go, sir." Haruka didn't bother mentioning the cost. It'd just go on the tab for now.

"So... what's up with, er, that?" Haruka said awkwardly, pointing to Satoshi's hands.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Beryl on September 21, 2015, 05:41:43 PM
Satoshi was reluctant to respond, but given how lying twice in the same day would literally kill him...and from the fact that the French Vanilla added to the cinnamon smelled absolutely divine...

"The other day I had a weird vision." He sat the cup on the table. Taking a sip wasn't what he needed right now. "I saw a black ring. I blacked out for about an hour, woke up, and my room was completely wrecked. Apparently I went on a bit of a rampage when I saw that ring. I don't know why it happened, though..." He looked over his peeling knuckles. "Yukino said that apparently I've been 'marked' by whatever she's fighting against, but she won't tell me anything about it. Kind of sucks when someone who can help you refuses to tell you what's happening, doesn't it?"

He sat his gold deckbox out next to his espresso and pointed at it. "Fortuna won't say anything either. Apparently they've been observing me, Genesis. Something's come up, but they won't tell me anything about it, either. Said if I know, it's a security risk or something." He shook his head. "So much dishonesty..."

Post by: Jello on September 21, 2015, 05:48:08 PM
Haruka was back at the counter, nodding every so often to remind Satoshi he was still listening while he was polishing some silverware and mugs and things of the sort. Apparently he had a vision, something about a black ring.

Nothing Haruka had heard of, but he was unsure of what any of this meant. What those black rings were, what they meant to Satoshi, or what they really would have meant to anybody. In fact, just the term "black ring" can mean so much and Haruka had just made a vague guess of what it looked like in his head. He stopped polishing the silver pitcher for a moment, making thinking faces for a moment.

"Dishonesty indeed... Well, maybe its like those criminal detective shows where like, you have plausible deniability or something. Won't get involved or whatever. I know if I could avoid being a target of something at all costs, I would." Haruka resumed polishing, clacking his heels against the wooden floor. Gum stuck to the bottom his shoe.

Ughhhhhhhhh...

He put the pitcher down for a moment, leaning on the counter and sending out a quick message. Something he's meant to do since she got back.

"hey yukinoms (im not calling u yuugere. not happening.) we should meet up soon! im free today after work, sound good 2 u? -haru"

He hit send and sent his phone back into the void of his slacks pocket. Hopefully she was free tonight. He really wanted to talk to her tonight. Not particularly about the whole cheating dilemma, but just about, well, things. Important things.

"So how's school going?"

The driver this time was a much more sane one, but he still go the three to the shopping district in good time.

City lights were slowly turning on now, welcoming the night. Isabella originally had the idea of helping Sliffer find a gift for Rosalia since she thought that they looked nice as a couple, but she also now had to thank Tsubaka who tagged along as well. Oh right, he can probably get a gift for the Messiah if he wants. She walked along one of the corner stores nearby where driver-san dropped them off and she waited for them to get out of the card and make their way here.

"So you both have girlfriends! Wow! Amazing, so I originally was going to help Sliffer get something for Rosalia, but since Tsubaka, you helped out too, I owe you one as well. Doesn't have to be a present for Neu or anything, I can treat you to dinner haha..." She also wanted advice on it strangely, the situation with Haruka-kun and all that was in between, but she'll wait for her responses first and slowly go into the conversation as they begin walking along to do their shopping



Neu texted Tsubasa:
"Oh my me I just saw that. You were cool and all, really, but oh man please tell me you're ok. Not hurt or anything? I'm worried sick here! - <3 Neu."

Well this was new. Seifer had never been driven around before, so it was definitely an experience. In any case, Seifer didn't know why they'd been brought here, but didn't complain. However all was revealed when Hana had mentioned girlfriends. How did she find out? Or was just just assuming? She was right now in any case but... Yeah, he did want to buy something nice for Rosalia. "I kind of want to get her something nice something like... Hm..." the male crossed his arms thinking and looking down at the ground as they waited for Tsubasa. Just what did he want to get for Rosalia? What would she even like?

Post by: OverDrive on September 21, 2015, 09:08:53 PM
The drive to the shopping district went by smoothly giving the three some time to relax, though it became clear why Hana wanted to give them a drive as she started referring to their girlfriends. At first Tsubasa was surprised by Seifer's situation with Rosalia but he expected it so it was not something far fetched. Before he could give a reply he heard his phone buzzing so he quickly checked to respond.

"..Oh.." he thought,. "My guardian angel..heh."
"Haha, don't worry i'm not so easily taken down, you of all people should know about that ;) , though thanks for keeping an eye on me love, just focus on feeling better yourself :) ."

Putting his phone away, as the three got out of the car, he began to answer Hana's question, "Anything would be fine Hana I appreciate your hospitality, I already got her something and when I do get her something else i'll have a pretty good idea about what it will be." he said, giving a wink and a smile, as well as looking up to the sky and winking hoping that she saw him.

He gave a slight nudge to Seifer with his shoulder, "So.. I guess it's official eh?" he said, with a grin on his face.

"What about you are you gonna get something for Haruka?" he asked, turning his attention back to Hana.

Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on September 21, 2015, 09:22:23 PM
"Maybe cute trinkets and stuff? Also yeah, congrats on Red-chan. I figure you guys are together now since you didn't protest to me calling her your girlfriend." Isabella laughed. "So I guess since Tsubasa doesn't need anything, let's focus on Seifer! Yay! Congrats!" She clapped her hands for him, the burns on her wrist stinging a little as she did so she lowered it down a notch.

Getting Haruka-kun something?

Oh right. With all the time that she's been spending with him, she didn't even think of getting him anything, she felt that her presence was enough, but she assumed that she should while she can. He liked coffee, so something with that would make him happy? A coffee machine..? He would already own one, plus that's too bulky. She'll figure it out later. The reason why she was here was because she made a special order in a jewelry store here for matching necklaces. That was the one they were standing in front of now.

"Um.. right." She paused for a moment and opened the door the nearby jewelry store, "Actually, I ordered a present for Mi-hime here a few months back, but it ended up getting finished quite late... for our anniversary. being together for a year. I guess I can get Haruka-kun something too.."

That felt weird to say, just too weird.


Neu replied:
"Ok... Ok! Good. I have to go to the nightly check up now, I'll talk to you later! Stay safe. - <3 Neu"

At the teasing from both his face turned red but he merely nodded, looking around the stores. He noticed something that piqued his interest though. Something that he could get for Rose. Though that was reaaaaaaally expensive. It looked pretty though. It was a white moon with a blue gem and red gem embedded in it, laced with a silver chain that she can use to wear around her neck. However he was wrenched from his thoughts by his phone vibrating. Pulling it out he saw it was his sister, one he had to reply to.

'I didn't think you hated me. I just didn't know how to approach you about what happened afterwards. And sorry for not messaging a whole lot. I've just been a bit busy lately. I'll remember to try and text you more. And dreams? What kind of dreams?' he pressed the send button hoping she'd get back to him soon about it. Something like that worried him. Turning his attention back to the pendent though, he stayed staring at it, going over a lot of things in his head.

Post by: Hope on September 21, 2015, 09:34:05 PM
Upon entering the shop, she decided to make a usual roudabout window shoppig, looking all the cool things that they had. She walked over to Seifer who seemingly found what he wanted in almost and instant. The way the jewel shined, the shape, and stoned embedded definitely must have symbolized a lot to him.

She patted him in the back to gain his attention, "Isn't her name... Mooncrest?" That took almost all of Isabella's mind processing power to rememer. She looked closely at the price tag. "Oh my.."

"Hey Seifer, I can help you pay for it since I do kind of owe you one!"

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 09:39:01 PM
At the pat the brunette stiffened, looking over his shoulder at Hana, then back at the pendent. "...Are you sure?.. That's really... Really expensive. Even more so than the work I did is worth." he paused for a moment while biting his lip and nodding slightly glancing down. "...In all reality yeah... I want to get it for her. And yes her name is Mooncrest so... I think she'd really like this. As well as the gems representing us." he admitted the last part about the jewels with an embarrassed laugh.

Seifer and Hana were busy looking through the jewelry for their companions, while Tsubasa felt like he was being unfair to Neu in this situation. To him most of the jewelry in front of him was nothing amazing until he spotted one necklace that just drew his attention from the rest, it had a blue gem with wings attached to it, this was by far the one that attracted his attention. He remembered that Neu was doing her check-ups so he immediately, disregarding the hefty price tag, asked the clerk to get it for him as he hid it quickly within the small box and headed back to the two.

"..Did you guys get anything?" he asked, smiling.

"..Hopefully she did not see it.." he thought. "..Would not be as surprising."

"Well the service you did for Umano today was beyond any sort of help money could buy so, I'll pay for it, no problem." She asked one of the store employees set up the necklace for he and informed them abput te purchase. It was put into a nice box and furthur protected inside a small leather bag. it was handed to Seifer as she paid for it with a card.

"Well, you really should tell me about you guys sometime. Hard to imagine a guy like you being a softie for her. Must be nice." She was somewhat envious. Turning to Tsubaka she also replie to hos question, "Ah, mine is still getting prepared, but we are."

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 09:49:10 PM
Seifer accepted the packaged and protected gift for his girlfriend gingerly, cradling it between his hands as if any slight movement would destroy it. Holding it close to his  chest he nodded his thanks before turning red again at what Hana just said. "Do I really come off as someone who can't be soft?" he asked glancing to the side. Now that he thought about it, he didn't really know what anyone really thought about him, though what Hana had did for him just now was worth more than any thanks. Even if she said it was to pay him back, he was going to try and find a way to pay the idol back. Though, what do you get an idol? "And I uh... I guess if you wanna know stuff ask any questions?" he spoke hesitantly, not sure how to word it, and not even really sure what he should tell her.

Questions.. Questions..

"I mean, what do you think of me and Haruka?"

Seemed like a selfish question, and it wasn't only to Seifer. It was also to Tsubasa as well. She didn't know if their input would change her mind, but it was worth a try at least, since it doesn't hurt to know.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 10:06:43 PM
"You and Haruka? Uh..." Seifer thought for a moment, trying to figure out the meaning of the question. Just what did she mean by asking that? "Hm, well I like you both. I consider you both really good friends. If you mean something else..." he hesitated for a moment. What could he say here? He actually didn't know what was going on, and the whole thing with Yukino and Haruka so... "I think... Hm, you're both nice though I've yet to actually see you together so." he answered that with some modicum of hesitance but it was probably out of place for him to say anything about it.

Tsubasa's suspicions about their, indecision were now clear, obviously it's normal to feel shy in front of people when you're with your companion, but something was different for her so Tsubasa decided to give her the best answer he can come up with.

"..That question is a very interesting one...i'll try to answer it as well as I can.." he said, taking a deep breath as he began to speak.

"..I've seen you with Haruka a few times now, and I admit that you've got something special happening between you both clearly you both are happy with each other...but...how should I put it, ah I know," he said, gathering his thoughts."When i'm with Neu, I feel so relaxed and happy, naturally we are both always feeling excitement from the other but..we feel safe and satisfied with one another,..I've never felt that way with a woman...I think that a strong relationship is one where both sides can feel satisfied with the other, and relaxed when they are together, because in each of their eyes their companion is themselves and more...hehe hope that made sense." he said, placing his hand behind his head, accidently revealing the small box containing the necklace. "..Oh no.." he thought.

Tsubasa was not a love expert, but he tried his best to convey his thoughts, in the end all he wants for Hana and Haruka is for them to be happy as they are both his friends.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 10:22:55 PM
Seifer waited for a moment, listening to Tsubasa as he talked before biting his lower lip thinking, Hana speaking up. "Hey guys, I'll hang out with you both later. With the way things have happened lately I haven't had much time with Rose... Text me or something when you want to hang out again and thank you Hana for buying this to help me out. As for what I would do, and my thoughts... ...I may be backwards but, you need to be honest with yourselves. Figure out who you want more. What I would do?... ...No matter what, I'd wait for Rose." he bowed to them both before dashing off and pulling out his phone, texting Rose that she should meet him where they ate at last night as soon as possible.

Hazama was walking through the city looking through each window seeing what each shop had to offer. He had seen everything from shoes to video games. He then came across a jewelry store and saw Tsubaka and his friends in there chatting about something. He decided to go say hi to him, though he didnt know what was gonna happen afterwards. He opened the door and the little bell chimed to signal someones enterance or exit. Though when he entered, someone else he did not know passed by him.

"Tsubakkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaa! Hi, whats up?" he asked the guy.

Rosalia, having left Card Capital in a rush, was still running until she managed to track down the seafood restaurant from the previous night. She came to a stop just outside the restaurant, catching her breath with her hands full. She had her school bag in one hand, her violin case in the other, refusing to put them down even as she fiddled in her bag to find her phone again. She did end up dropping her school bag in the process, but at least it wasn't the violin or her phone. "S-so.. where... He's somewhere around here, right?... He's not inside?..." The redhead lifted her phone to her ear, calling Seifer while glancing around. I-i wonder what made him want to come back here... And what he, Hana, and Tsubasa were doing all day..

Seifer had been around though she probably just missed him. In any case, he wrapped his arms around her middle quickly from behind, and she'd probably feel a little box against her stomach as he rested his hands against her stomach. "Hi, sorry I've been busy today... But now I've got some time for you. Hope you can forgive me?" he asked quietly, poking his head forward so that she could see his face, a soft teasing smile spread across his lips.

Rosalia yelped when hugged from behind, nearly dropping her phone this time in the process of hanging up. "Holy-! You scared me.. jerk..." the female huffed, but glanced to the side with a soft blush. She rested one hand over both of his, simply because she was still holding the violin in the other. "A-and whatever it is, it miiiight be enough to forgive you.." She set the case down carefully before taking the box. It was lightweight, and small, so her first guess was some sort of jewelry? Just in case, Rosalia opened the box slowly, eyes widening at the contents inside. "O-oh wow... It's so pretty...." It was a white moon on a silver chain, one blue and one red gem seeming to sparkle. "B-b-but I.. I didn't get you anything lately... You got me those cards, a-and now this?... A-and yesterday's dinner and ice cream and all?... I feel bad now..."

It was true, things were not settled with their previous companions and that was why Hana and Haruka were uncertain, this confession was the same as giving Tsubasa the opportunity to talk with less restraints over what he was going to say.

"..See you man." he said, as Seifer left the area.

"..I agree with Seifer, being honest with yourself is another indication that things are going smoothly for you in a relationship, hiding from your feelings..the both of you...will only cause you more trouble in the future, life gave me a whole new turn with my family and those I cared about when I became honest with my feelings i'm sure you would feel much better when you do the same Hana, wherever that may take you-" his words were interrupted, as he heard a loud calling to his name from inside the store.

"..Oh great.." he thought, as he noticed the person approaching.
"....What do you want?" he asked, directing his question to Hazama.

Lightly Seifer took it from her, putting the necklace on her before wrapping his arms back around Rosalia's middle, setting his head on her shoulder and relaxing. "Maybe just being here for me is enough." was really cheesy but it was true at least for the male, as he pressed his palm against her's and sliding his fingers between her's, the one that wasn't holding the violin. "Sorry... Was I interrupting something though?"

After interrupting Tsubaka mid-sentence, the guys vibe suddenly turned a bit negative. "What's with all the harsh words Tsubaka," his voice a bit more innocent than usual. "I mean, I actually take some time out of my way to come say hi to you, and this is how you respond. I thought we were friends, and...," Hazama started implementing a sadder tone in his voice for the last phrase.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 21, 2015, 10:53:38 PM
Rosalia felt the all too familiar warmth return to her cheeks as Seifer put the necklace on for her, but she couldn't help smiling. She squeezed his hand lightly, leaning her head against his. "Nope. I had a cardfight earlier against a guy named Darren. He met Noel earlier I guess, and he's joining the Cardfight Club at school... Oh! I had my audition today. I'm in the club as First Chair~ But I'm gonna sign up for the camping trip under the Cardfight Club and not the Orchestra one. I wanna be able to hang out with our friends, and.. well, you're not in the Orchestra..."

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 10:57:18 PM
Seifer was excited to hear she'd made first chair, actually instinctively kissing her cheek and squeezing her hand with his walking out from behind her and having their arms drop to their sides. "That's wonderful!" he smiled, happily looking over at her. "I told you that you could do it. And I'm glad you're choosing to go with the Cardfight Club. It wouldn't be as much fun without you being there with me..."

Something was definitely odd, yesterday Hazama was arrogant and cold in his speech but now...he was acting like the first time he met Tsubasa. It did not seem logical why the sudden change?

Turning to face Hazama he spoke,"..Friends?" he asked. "..After all your actions up to this point,..and what you're planning to do."

"Just what exactly are you up to?" he asked.

Generally Tsubasa did not hate Hazama, but he disliked his attitude and his actions, which is why he was unable to speak to him the same way he used to before what happened at the slums.

The warmth already in her cheeks darkened tenfold at the kiss, even if it was just to her cheek. It felt like it was spreading all throughout her body, a blissful happiness as she looked up at the brunette. "Th-thank you.. For everything~ I-it wouldn't be fun to go camping without you either... A-actually, do you think we'll have to sleep in separate tents or whatever?... That'll be a bit weird..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 11:06:27 PM
Seifer laughed a bit, his own cheeks turning a soft red as squeezed her hand again thinking. "I'm not sure. But ya know, I think if we really wanted we could sleep in the same tent anyway.' he mostly teased that, but part of him actually meant it. It'd be nice. Be in a tent together, under the starts and alone. The thought brought a darker shade of red to his face but nonetheless he just continued to smile. "That's if we get to sleep in tents though. I'm sure if we sleep inside of buildings we could find a way. ...And Rose? Thank you for just being you, and being here with me."

Tsubaka posed a question to him asking about what kind of trick he was trying to pull off. "Hmmm. I guess I have a media staging test tomorrow, other than that I can't think pf any thing that I am up too," he replied to Tsubaka. He just taps his foot, not thinking about what to say next.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 21, 2015, 11:11:46 PM
Rosalia nodded, smiling as she pulled her hand from his, just to wrap her arms around him in a tight hug. "I-i'm really happy all of this has happened... It's kind of hard to think that just over a year ago, we didn't know each other existed... And now we're here in Rijuku going to school, Cardfight Club, Orchestra Club, all your friends and the camping trip now... I'm.. I'm really glad you're here, and for everything you got me involved in here. Even if your friends are kinda weird..." She looked up at the male, pulling back from the hug enough so she could stand on her tip toes and return the kiss to his cheek. She pulled away fully after that, picking up her school bag and case. "S-so... so what now?..."

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on September 21, 2015, 11:14:50 PM
The brunette hugged her back tightly, blushing once again as he felt her lips against his cheek. Though she posed a pretty good question. What would they do next? "Well.. We can get dinner, or just go home and cook something." he thought for a moment before smiling. "Let's go home and cook something together. That'd be fun right?" he smiled more offering to carry some of her stuff so that she could hold onto his arm or something.

Tsubasa tried to calm himself down at this situation, Hazama's attitude towards the matter irritated him for sure but he did not want to cause a spectacle in the store.

"....You spent a whole year, chasing after my girlfriend and you expect me to believe that you don't know what i'm referring to?" he said, his eyes giving off a penetrating gaze.

"..Why..why are you trying to get your hands on Link Joker?" he asked, his gaze displaying worry and anger at the same time.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on September 21, 2015, 11:20:23 PM
Rosalia thought, tapping her chin slightly given that her hands were full, but gave Seifer her school bag to hold while she kept a firm grip on the violin case. "Sounds good. What should we make though? Yesterday we had seafood, and before that was take out I think..." she mused, thinking hard on what to actually make. She could always go for chicken, knowing probably a thousand different recipes for chicken alone... As she started walking back to the house, she held Seifer's hand with her now free one, entwining their fingers again. Just holding hands again, it made her smile, as if nothing could ruin her day.

After hearing Tsubaka's first statement, he was dumbfounded. "Oh relax Baky," he said to him. "I already have a girlfriend silly. And besides, even if I didn't, I still wouldn't like Neu that way."

Then his second statement rolled around. "Link Joker?" he questioned. "Isn't that like the clan that nobody knows about, but have heard rumors about its bad powers? But I dont play that clan, I use the Dark Irregulars, I could never let them go for some rouge and misterious clan like Link Joker."

This time Hazama had crossed the line, Tsubasa had seen the letter he sent Neu, he even had it on him in his jacket pocket. So he unzipped it and revealed the worn out letter.

"..Like you threw away Vanguard and the Pale Moon clan a year ago...?" he asked, his eyes gradually filling with rage as he tried to suppress it and maintain his composure.

He opens the letter and shows it to his face, "...This is you not wanting Link Joker..? You expect me to trust you after pulling a stunt like this." he said, lowering the letter and tucking it into his back-pocket. "...My friend would not lie to me the way you are right now Hazama...my friend would have let me help him all those years ago.." he said, clenching his fist.

Post by: Helios on September 21, 2015, 11:43:56 PM
He watches as Baky (Tsubakas new name for him) accuse him of quitting Vanguard. "Why would I ever quit this game? I mean it is such a cool game i dont know why anyone would?"

Then he pulls out a crumbled letter from his pocket. "Did I write that?" he asked again. "Maybe someone forged my writing? Who knows with all the crazy people these days. And lying to you? Why would I ever do such a thing to you Baky?"

Post by: OverDrive on September 21, 2015, 11:57:29 PM
At his response Tsubasa fianlly understood what Hazama was trying to do, this time his rage disappeared in an instant as he relaxed and began to walk towards the door stopping next to Hazama.

"...If that's how you want things to go then be my guest, but i'm warning you right now, get anywhere close to Neu with that selfish desire of yours and you'll find yourself in a hospital bed." he said, as calmly and forcefully as he could, as he walked outside the door.

He pulled out his phone and sent a message to Hana, "Sorry I have to leave, I appreciate your kindness and if the turf wars persist please let me know so I can assist you, also regarding the school trip let me know if I am needed as the coach....lastly..good luck, stay true to yourself and i'm sure you'l be happy and satisfied."

He put his phone in his pocket and continued walking down the street, his jacket fluttering in the wind as his thoughts began to seem clear in his mind, "You can't fool me Hazama, I heard what you whispered to her that day, and I will make sure that you don't get your hands on that clan.."

Post by: Helios on September 22, 2015, 12:03:27 AM
As he walked out the door he whispered to Baky, "Only you will end up in that bed."

He pulls out his phone and puts his headphones in to start playing Revolution by Diplo Gioni Remix. He walks out the door to continue his adventure down the sidewalk looking through the shops. Isn't it funny how foolish people can be?

She was taken to a different part of the store as soon as Seifer left and has been left alone, waiting for the worker to return. Apparently there was a problem with the matching necklaces that she ordered. They were necklaces of thin gold chains, with two small penguins, like the ones that follow Pacifica around for unexplained reasons. The fun part is that she ordered that the penguins be made of Sapphire and Ruby. Now the problem was, they instead are now Onyx and Diamond.

Black and White?

Isabella didn't mind it, if they change the prices around according to the rarity of the given gems, but the store is having a fuss over how the necklaces basically transformed out of nowhere. Due to her boredem, she decided to check up on Haruka-kun who she found was with Yukino. She scrolled through her recent message to where she received her summer photos not too long ago and decided to forward it to him as a prank.

"Hana..." Reit would say for hundredth time.

Okay, Reit was obviously trying to tell her how messed up that was. We get it Reit.

Eventually the jewelry was placed in front of her along with the worker holding a paper showing the proper calculations for the magically transformed necklaces. The purchase was done and she took the box, wondering where she would go next.

She texted Tsubasa:
"Thank you. I'll sign you up for the school trip so make sure to come by the designated time that the school will message you in. ISA Hope :3c"

She texted Seifer:
"Are you wondering why I have your number? It was on the list that I got as club president. Anyways, thanks for today. Hope you have fun with Red-chan. I really hope that she likes it, tell me how it goes! ISA Hope :3c"

Work was tedious today and he ended up getting out late. Again. Probably as payment for coming in so late. Nearly a half an hour late for his shift, there legitimately no barista at the counter for a thirty minutes and some. Nakizawa-san was NOT happy with Haruka. After work however, a smile came to his face. What he had been waiting all afternoon, and a majority of his evening for.

"Okay, shops don't close for a couple more hours... I can probably get her something nice, considering pay day was today." Haruka tore off the waiter apron and threw it off in the back with the rest of his work things, as well as grabbing his wad of cash from the coat pocket. He had enough to roughly buy about half a wedding ring. He was getting paid oddly well for a part-time barista. Uncle pays well, it seems.

"yahellooo, work is overr~ where are you? - haru"

He hit send on a message to Yukino. Considering tonight would be their last one together for a bit... or quite possibly forever, he wanted to make it all special if he could. He even kept on part of his uniform, considering how well it suited him. The black and white started to grow on him surprisingly.

Satoshi sat, having his usual cup of late-night coffee. He should have been wearing gloves, but the double-ringed mark actually burned when he covered it, so he had to expose it to the world. It felt pretty terrible to have this mark, and yet all the same...

He sent a text to both Yukino and Haruka.

It's on my hand now.

A very vague message, but at least one of them was likely to remember. Probably Yukino. He wasn't that concerned about them showing up, though, because if what Cheru said was true...things just had to run their course.

Fortuna had something very worrisome to disclose at the next Cray Council meeting regarding her champion's hand, but she knew nothing of the true nature of things. Soon, very soon, a new dawn would rise...

Neu ordered 50 pounds of hot chocolate. Them lonely nights hit hard. She doesn't want to hit any caffeine though, because she still wishes to grow taller. What a sad existence. The coffee shop seemed silent for the most part, nothing out of the ordinary other than the guy who had black rings on his hand, whatever that was. Reminded her of Link Joker. Boy, did she miss them.

Someone else was in the coffee shop. Someone familiar...was that...

Seems like the dude with the cool marks on his hand was actuwlly someone she knew. Great reunions are great, thought she found it kind of weird that he had it. A bold fashion statement, some might say edgy, but she was pretty sure that if she were in his position, that kind of body ink would be the last thing she would get.

"Hey Satooshie man, something. Sick tat and all, but I'm wondering why you got it. Do you like being reminded of when I locked your avatar or something? I dunno seens like a weird choice unless you're into that kinda stuff."

Post by: Beryl on September 25, 2015, 10:12:03 PM
A...tattoo? Is that what she thought the mark was? Weird.

Satoshi touched it to check and see if it actually felt like a tattoo. At first glance, it sure looked it, but to the touch, it felt like the markings were actually a part of the skin.

"A...bad decision from a night out drinking, I guess," he fibbed. "How've you been, though? You seem well. Did the hospital take care of you?" He was aware Neu had been admitted nearby, but totally didn't notice she had been along for the camping trip.

"Hospital didn't kill me in my sleep so that was good. It was better than your average cheap motel and I got fed almost a square meal a day. It was the best" Neu gestured with a thumbs up.

The 50 pounds of hot chocolate were taking so long to make, she wonders why. That's when it hit her that the worker thought she was just joking around and told her to "get a job" which really puzzled her because she worked as the Messiah 24/7. Just not right now when she's messing around.

"You seem well too, just don't drink too much or something. I guess."

Having returned from the camping trip, Tsubasa took this chance to visit the shopping district to get a beverage or a snack but generally he just wanted to get back in the city feel after the camping trip. He entered one of the coffee shops to hopefully get some extra energy for the rest of the night, though he was not gonna get anything extravagant or out of bounds for his own sleep.

As he walked towards the counter he noticed some familiar faces, Satoshi one of the champions of the War of Liberation, and Neu. Aside from being surprised he simply gave Satoshi a wave, as he was not sure if he still remembered him, and walked up to Neu, as he gave her a hug, "It's good to see you're doing better and better every day Neu." he said, with a smile on his face.

He gestured to the counter as he made a quick order, "Hot chocolate please." he said.

"They're still not done with my order..." She closed her eyes and reminded herself in frustration.

Ney went over to Tsubasa and hugged him back, "Okay so I fixed up my apartment annnndddd..." She leaned over to him and whispered to him. "You can stay over tonight, ok?" After that she pulled up a chair in front of Satooshie and sat down. Standing up was still kind of draining as is.

Tsubasa was initially surprised about Neu's request but he did not complain, being able to spend the night at her place was something grand and exciting. In his mind he was happy and ecstatic, he went to the clerk and asked him to speed up the order a bit for her and him with a somewhat serious look in his eyes. At that moment he ran into his station and came back with both orders ready...

"..Am I getting good at intimidation...nah" he thought, as he grabbed both orders and sat next to Neu. "Here ya go babe." he said, handing her the order and smiling.

"Thanks." It looked like about a few pounds of hot chocolate, not the fifty that she ordered. Oh well, it was from Tsubasa so it was alright.

"Cute eyes though," she laughed in regards to the one that he gave the worker. She sipped the hot chocolate enthusiastically and flinched a little. Yes, there was a problem that she forgot to foresee, the fact it was well... hot. "Ow...." She touched her lips, she had completely forgotten about it due to her mind having so many other things, probably over complicated and unnecessary junk, like some random information regarding the origins of the universe as well the meaning of life.

"Anyways, let's?" She offered as she stood up. "Sorry Satooshie, we gotta jet."

Satoshi had merely nodded in response. It was good to see that these two were in decent shape. Perhaps, one of these days, he'd get a chance to maybe take then both out on a dinner date or something. To catch up.

He looked over to his phone and noticed Haruka was the only one to respond, contrary to what he was expecting. He pegged out a couple messages.

First, to the responder:

Yeah, hopefully.

Second, to the Chosen Sword:

There's two of them now. Both on my hand. They burn when I cover them. Black and red rings. It's like it's etched into my skin now.

Maybe that would get her attention this time. He shrugged as he sat his phone down again and resumed drinking coffee. Actually, it didn't really matter if it did or not. It was honestly kind of fun having something that drove other people nuts trying to understand, but secretly, he just knew what it was in the end.

In a weird sense, Cheru was a side Satoshi had never considered engaging with at times. A rougher, noncaring side.

Weeks had past since the Camping Trip. Darren had taken the time to learn more about the city and what was around. He was now in the Shopping District looking for a place to relax, perhaps buy something. Darren had his deck in hand. He had been practicing with it for some time and he felt like he had more of a hang on what his deck was capable of. He also hadn't been worrying about his own ability at all, simply enjoying having fun with his heroes. Even with that, he did wonder about the two from the camping trip. The one that used Sealed Dragons who defeated everyone she fought until Seifer stepped in. He would love the chance to fight either of them again, but for all he knew, they weren't even from this area.

I can't believe I spent the entire day chasing down a little kid who stole a Mr. Invincible card from his little sister. Literally my entire day down the drain. Ughhhh...

Haruka trudged into work, dissatisfied with his last real day off from school. Or rather, self-imposed day off. He would be going back on Monday, so tomorrow was his legitimate day off, not like it really matters all too much. He'd be taking his leave of the Espoir Manor, as he was only promised a week. Then again, he really only asked for a week but...

He might impose longer, if the opportunity presented itself.

Walking into work, StarGATEBucks Cafe. Haruka got changed and took post at the coffee counter, polishing glasses. They were open for business and in about two minutes it would be swarming since evening, particularly around 6:30, was the bustling hour, so he was doing last minute checks before his shift went live. He brushed back the left side of his hair and bobby pinned it, leaving the left side of his face exposed while his bangs and fringes laid over the right mostly. He needed a haircut still, but hadn't had time to get one, so he often had to tie his hair back or pin it off so he could see things more clearly.

"Ah, another day, another check. I hope I finally get that payout I was promised..." Haruka was muttering to himself, as the door burst open with customers. Uncle Toshi owed him one for this. The ultimate night shift.

Let the rush begin.

After the time span between now and the camping trip, Seifer's hair had gotten a little bit longer, but was immediately cut back a bit so that it stayed around his ears. In any case, the brunette walked quietly into the StarGATEBucks Cafe, his hands in his pockets as he glanced around. It seemed kind of packed at the moment but instead of just moping about the crowd he walked up to the counter, waiting to be served. He had no idea why he came in tonight, just felt like he should. That and he really wanted coffee for some reason. That craving hadn't been going away since the camping trip ended.

Post by: Jello on September 27, 2015, 12:20:27 AM
Customers. Customers everywhere.

"W-Where did they all come..." Haruka was starting to break a sweat, as customer's poured in left and right. He luckily had been given a reprieve after nearly passing out when serving three different parties. In the end, he got back to the counter to find...

"Seifer? Oh, hey man. What's up man?" Haruka said, patting him on the back before returning behind the counter.

"Oh, erm... right. Ahem." Haruka cleared his throat as his boss' piercing eyes stabbed through Haruka's soul. Must act professional, otherwise the big payout would be canceled and Haruka can't afford that sort of pressure right now.

"H-How may I serve you, sir?" Haruka nearly busted out laughing saying that to Seifer.

It was getting late. After a day of looking through stores and barely buying anything, he wanted to stop into a place for a drink. He looked up, seeing a place. StarGATEBucks Cafe. It sounded like a horrible pun out of context. Still, he decided it was worth going inside. Darren ran his hand through his hair as he walked inside. He sat in a seat by himself, not seeing Seifer even though he was sitting right behind him. He waited to be served as he looked at the menu. Hot Chocolate seems good. I'm not big on coffee. Too bitter.

He then heard the name Seifer. He turned as he saw the two there, Seifer as well as Haruka. He couldn't help but laugh at the false attempt at professionalism.

"How may I server you sir." That made Seifer laugh a bit grinning before thinking. "I could go for a... Hm. Regular Coffee... Black for once. That and..." he glanced around the shop for a moment before looking at Haruka the counter boy. "Are you the only one here tonight working?" he asked this part more offering some kind of assistance to the seemingly over stretched male. It was pretty busy tonight after all.

Tsubasa continued his stroll at the shopping district, after some time he felt in need of some refreshments, seeing as the Stargate Coffee was in sight he decided to head there.

Upon entry he notices that 3 of the people he knew were already there, Seifer, Haruka and Darren. He also could not miss Haruka's attempt at professionalism, to which he just skilled and walked towards the counter. "I see you two are still keeping things as lively as ever." he said, in a joking tone. "Good to see all of you, Seifer, Haruka and Darren I hope you all enjoyed the camping trip."

It was late at night but Noel couldn't sleep. It's been two weeks since the camping trip with two weeks worth of dreams that have been getting more realistic by the day. She even starts hallucinating Salome being around her. Noel is probably going crazy for having restless nights that seeing Vanguard units is becoming a thing. On the bright side is that she managed to regain her lost deck within those two weeks. At least that was a good dream come true.

So tired but can't sleep.... maybe a nice hot chocolate from that cafe and some cookies can out me to sleep. Mom and I always had that every other night and I always slept right after until the next morning.

Down the quiet street, Noel sees that the cafe she went with Tsubasa was still opened, a miracle for now she might have her ticket to sleep. As she goes in, she sees Tsubasa, Seifer and Darren inside

"There, uh, there are more of us. It just happens to be that they're all serving too and most of them are getting off soon, so I'm taking most of the workload recently."

Haruka wiped his forehead clear of sweat, stretching his back out before responding to the order with a nod and a thumbs-up, heading over to the coffee-maker. It was near the counter, so responding wasn't too hard either.

Tsubasa showed up, and so did that one guy from the camping trip, but the last guy didn't bother joining Seifer from the beginning. Weird. Haruka simply nodded to Tsubasa with a small simper. Service with a smile.

"Yeah, things are going good here man... Just a lot of work tonight is all, no biggie..." Haruka poured out the cup after some coffee bean mixtures had gone through the dispenser.

"Here you are, on full black Royal Brew, my specialty. On the house... it'll teach that stupid boss of mine." Haruka sneered over his shoulder at the manager, then turned back to Tsu and Seifer at the front.

"What you brings you here Tsu? Coffee, hot chocolate, you name it, I'll make it." Haruka proceeded to continue polishing glasses.

Another one strolling in.

"Noel?" Haruka slumped over the counter a little.

"So. Many. People."

With all the people flooding in, you'd think Seifer would of high tailed it out of there at that point but... As Haruka brought the cup of joe he took one sip of the hot liquid. It was bitter. Really bitter. And way different from his usual caramel blend but he enjoyed it all the same. "Hey guys." he waved to Darren, Tsubasa, and Noel respectively as they made their entrances before taking another sip. Deliciously bitter. "If you need help, I can do so. I haven't got much to do since Rosalia isn't back yet from going back home." he spoke to Haruka this time, offering his services to the establishment, whether it was accepted or not.

Darren smiled to see how lively things were when everyone got together. Seeing Tsubasa and Noel enter brought even more to it. Darren decided to move to the section next to Seifer just so they would all be together. It'd probably help Haruka as well. "I guess we have a full house tonight," Darren said with a small laugh. He waved to Noel lightly to call her over and said, "Its been quiet since the trip but there's nothing wrong with that. How's everyone been?"

Haruka stood there scratching the back of his head, realizing he would have to serve up three more people probably, and not only that, but people were still coming in by the dozens.

Gulp.

He pulled a spare apron out from the counter and tossed it to Seifer.

"You. Tonight. You work here. Just take orders and bring them to me, I'll make it, you can pass 'em out. Work for you?" Haruka made series eye-contact with Seifer. He was still in a joking manner but this was work. Business. Serious.

Haruka still couldn't take it seriously a small grin cracked on his face regardless.

Darren wasn't wrong here... Full house was only sugar-coating it. The pits of hell have unleashed demons and they were just now filling in the remaining seats, even some people had to stand for their orders. This was cancer incarnate at it's finest.

"Hey guys, I'm surprised you are all here..." Noel then yawns as she approaches their table, "I'm so tired yet I just can't go to sleep... can I get a hot chocolate and some of those gourmet cookies?" She told the waiter as she then rested her head on table.

When Seifer mentioned Rosalia not bring home yet, she remembered that her mom had sent her a message to go back home for the following weekend as a way to see how she is doing. Most likely her dad won't care much and just scold her saying weakness is a sin and to step over those under her. Basically things Noel doesn't want to hear. Noel's mom is the only one who legitimately wants to know how she is doing and ask about Seifer and check on him.

I really don't want to go back there... father will he displeased if he finds out I am still staying at a hotel.. he would probably angrily yell at me saying why I haven't bought the hotel yet or something.

Noel sighs and starts answering Darren's question, "I've been fine I guess. I managed to find all the units I was missing to re-complete my old deck that I came with to this city..."

Seifer gave a thumbs up, and after finishing his coffee, dropped his jacket off somewhere it wouldn't get stolen before putting on the apron to start his temporary work. Actually with how his dress shirt and pants looked, he looked like he could of been a full time worker there. In any case, Seifer diligently went about business, doing as Haruka would ask and whenever he was needed somewhere he'd go. It really was crammed full tonight. Personally he never thought coffee shops were that popular.

Noel's order sounded good. He raised his hand and said, "I'll have the same thing here!" He noticed that Seifer was going to start taking orders so he made sure he had been heard. After that, he turned to Noel and said, "That's great to hear. I've been working on mine too. I'd say its even better than the one you fought at the station that day." Despite the time, Darren seemed to have quite a bit of energy. "Using it has been a lotta fun."

It was becoming crowded at the coffee shop, even with Seifer offering his assistance it seemed like it was going to be a busy night. Tsubasa decided that he will get a quick hot chocolate and maybe spend some time at the shop, until a message arrived on his phone.

"I'll get a hot chocolate only bro, good luck with the customers." he said, his expression turning to worry.

"What's up man? he sent the message to Hikaru, to try and see what the situation is, expecting something to do with the turf wars or...the coming events. He took the chance to greet Noel and Darren as he decided to sit at their table for the meantime. "How are you both doing? he asked.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Jello on September 27, 2015, 01:14:09 AM
Haruka leaned on the counter, nodding to the two.

"He's doing stuff with outside customers, I'll take your guys' orders. Hot chocolate and gourmet cookies, coming up." Haruka turned around to fiddle around with the supplies, making a decent hot chocolate at first, and then a better one second. He had to decide who got the better batch of hot chocolate. To decide, Haruka closed his eyes, set them on a tray, spun the tray a couple of times, plopped down the sets of cookies, and carried it over to them.

None would be the wiser.

"Heeeereee you are. Be careful. Just made, so its still hot. I left marshmallows on the side to if you wanted that. There's whipped cream up at the counter if you need it." With a fake salute to Noel and Darren, he returned to the bar waiting for Seifer's round of orders. Tonight would go by quickly enough with an extra hand, luckily.

Tsubasa ordered a hot chocolate as well after the others, causing Haruka to quite literally slide over the counter and make that one too in godspeed. Can't leave customers waiting after all, even if they are your friends.

"For you, Tsu. How's Neu, by the way?" Haruka wasn't even near any, but he already had a new glass and was polishing it spotless. He could be a bartender if he really wanted to. Just needed sunglasses to look cool. Eh. Maybe.

Sad to say, being Seifer's first time doing this, he seemed adept at speedily getting orders, taking them to the counter and then back out. He didn't even seem to be breaking much of a sweat. Actually to be honest, he seemed to be enjoying himself as well, which was odd. He didn't typically like interacting with new people if he could help it and yet here he was taking orders for complete strangers, smiling, and dashing about. Doing everything almost perfectly. It would be a quick night indeed, since several of the customers would leave rather satisfied with customer service and such. "Regular Coffee, Mocha, and a... Frappe? What even is a Frappe?" Seifer asked toward the latter part of this shift as he came back up to the counter to deliver another order. He said it in an informal way, and yet the job itself was getting done, and people were happy so there should be no complaints right?

"Yes! Finally! I can go to sleep soon with this!" Noel softly blew off some of the steam and took a sip. She felt like she was sent to heaven. Again, the hot chocolate tasted really good. Next she dipped on of the cookies into and then bit the part she dunked into the drink. Again, Noel felt like she died and went to heaven.

"I'm alright I guess, just really tired right and wanna go to sleep after this..." She replied to Tsubasa. Unfortunately, even though Noel took her time with the hot chocolate and cookies, she finished both and was ready to go back to her hotel room and sleep. "That really did it for me, I can feel the drowsiness slowly coming in. I should go while I still can and feel the drowsiness. Let's hope my dream doesn't get eaten again... ugh, I hate this..." Noel got up and left a generous tip on the table and said bye to everyone.

"She's great man that woman is one hell of a lady, and on other notes she started using my ezel deck...she's really good with it not gonna lie, makes for some awesome fights." he said, replying to Haruka.

The hot chocolate was superb, it was well made and hit the spot perfectly. Though now Tsubasa had to get back home to check up on Neu and what she needs, now that he texted back it was time for him to go.

"I appreciate the service Haru, also Seifer I need to talk to you later so stay in touch, and Darren it's great to see you again, it was awesome to see all of you again, see you guys soon." he said, as he left the shop.

A solid tip was left by Noel at the table she was at with Darren. Score. He'd have to split that with Seifer for a good job today, people seemed to be pouring out with smiles on their faces. The end of the shift was in about fifteen minutes so he'd have to grab him before all that ended.

"Seifer, oi, over here. Thanks for the help, but we're pretty much done for the night. We close in about ten. I'll trade you that apron for a decent amount of cash money?" Haruka smiled, waving him over. Noel just went out, leaving Darren, Seifer, Tsu and Haruka. But Tsu seemed to be heading out in a bit. Must have been Neu. She was almost worse than Hana when it came to stalking. Doesn't even need light, she can see everything.

Creeeeepy.

Haruka took the yen bills, splitting the amount in 60/40 manner, giving Seifer the 60% and Haruka taking the latter half. Haruka already got a paycheck so he didn't need to keep all that money anyways. He stretched out his neck before calling Darren and Seifer over, giving each a cinnamon bun.

"For coming out tonight, I appreciate it guys. Enjoy, also on the house. It came out of my paycheck so you better enjoy it. Sorta wish Noel and Tsu could have stayed longer, but eh."

Haruka's glass polishing once again resumed. This was getting ridiculous.

Darren smiled as he took the Cinnamon Bun. It was fun to be out here like this, he was glad he did it. It was unfortunate that Noel had to go so soon but he could tell she was tired. Tsubasa left as well which was a bit more odd. It must have been important. Darren drank down his Hot Chocolate as he said, "She won't miss out. I'll give her mine. The cookies I have is good for me and I can always come back and get a bun later."

He gave a small yawn before he stood up. Even though it was a short visit, it was lively and exciting. "I'll take the rest to go though. I'm starting to get a bit tired myself." He held onto the cookies as he stretched out, moving towards the door. "See you all soon, if not at the club." With that said, he left with a smile on his face.

As the last of the guests left and Seifer returned to the counter, he traded in the apron for his usual belt clasp type jacket and pocketed the money nodding his thanks to Haruka. When offered the cinnamon bun he accepted it gratefully sitting down and waving to everyone as they left. "Will do Tsubasa! And see you all later!" he called after the ones that left leaning against the counter and watching them leave, eating the bun quietly. "Pretty interesting night overall I gotta say. Wasn't expecting it to turn out like this but hey, can't complain." he spoke to Haruka, glancing over his shoulder at the other male as he went about washing the dishes. He was about to say something else when he noticed the random door. It seemed to call to him and well... He went with it, waving to Haruka. "I uh, gotta go check on something. Text me later. We should hang out more often." with that he left, and paused just outside the door for a moment, looking it over, before walking inside.

The entire city was littered with soldiers of the Reverse. A legion of meat puppets for the black rings.

At the helm of the current state of Hoshiko's shopping district was a man in a long dark coat and sunglasses. One reversal of his became many more as his disciples multiplied rapidly, a massive force seeking to claim the strong for their ranks. A titan of the movement, but someone who didn't fit the characteristics of the fight-crazed minions he somehow procured.

Satoshi Kurosaki, currently (and unfortunately) dubbed "Cherushi," was rather separate from the whole craving to fight the strong thing. He was more interested in a demonstration of what the invasion could do for people. So far, he had shown that the world could refocus itself if everyone could have a common goal. Why stress about work and life when you could simply serve as a Reverse agent? Being a puppet of the rings and its vassals was, as crazy as it sounded, a lot more liberating than one might think.

Surveying the area, he was determining if his work for this area was done. His next directive was to head to Rijiku's residential area and collect more soldiers, but only if there was nothing left to do.

  From the moment Cero entered the shopping district, he realize he had made a poor decision.  There was a high number of Reverse fighters here, and a massive black ring in the sky, the same ring as what appeared when a unit was Locked.  This had to be one of the main areas for the Reverse fighters, and Cero had wandered right into it unaware.  Gritting his teeth, he realized he'd be forced to face an onslaught of fighters just like he had at the Training Facility.  Cero needed a plan.  The chances of getting out of this undefeated were slim, and he couldn't rely on back-up arriving like it had at the Training Facility.  As far as Cero was aware, he would be alone.  He could either retreat now, or fight and save as many people as he could.  To Cero, the choice was obvious.  He saw a wave of Reverse fighters walking towards him, and readied his decks to fight.

Cherushi noticed a source of power he hadn't anticipated showing up. Cero Kirguis. One of the heroes of the War of Liberation. How fitting. Adjusting his sunglasses, he made a gesture with his ringed hands to get his meat puppets to move aside. This wasn't their prey.

"A bit dangerous to be out and about like this, Cero Kirguis." He crossed his arms. "I'd advise you find safety."

Post by: Lance Korilum on October 01, 2015, 12:28:11 AM
  Cero was admittedly rather surprised that the Reverse fighters at first had chosen not to fight him, until he realized what they were doing: clearing a path for the big boss.  This man was vaguely familiar, though Cero couldn't quite pin down who he was.  It didn't matter, this man was asking for a fight, and Cero planned to give it to him.  If he won, then there would be no problem bringing back the rest of the souls that had fallen victim to Reverse.

  Smirking, Cero responded to the man's taunts, "If you know my name, you should be aware that a challenge like this is what I live for.  Stakes have never been higher, and Reverse has put up a decent challenge.  If anyone should by finding safety, it should be you!  You're the boss of these goons, right?  Then I, Cero Kirguis, Europe's King of Vanguard will take you down and free these souls from their imprisonment!"

"Goons? I suppose that's something you could call them." Cherushi examined the servants of Reverse from the corner of his eyes. They looked hungry, but conceded to the one they knew was stronger. Survival of the fittest, he supposed.

He held out his marked hand. The marks glowed once more and spawned a deck in his hand. Putting it in his other, he waved the hand and spawned a floating field before them. "Alright. If you're going to take me down, Cero Kirguis, then here is our battleground. I only hope you know what you're in for."

A slight smile. King Europe thought he was ready, but he had no clue what he was about to experience.

  The familiar man was using Link Joker...  The clan that had taken Vermillion away from Cero one year ago.  Filled with desire for vengeance, along with his normal drive to win, his deck responded and gave him its full power.  Cero didn't hold back an inch against his opponent.  His opponent brought forth the incredibly power of Link Joker, locking away most of Cero's units and getting early triggers aplenty.  They even brought forth a unit Cero had never seen before, Star-Vader Nebula Lord Dragon.  It powered up its allies for every locked unit, granting the front row units incredible amounts of power.  With the arrival of this card, his opponent revealed their identity: Satoshi Kurosaki, one of the Champions in the War of Liberation and Cero's opponent in the National Qualifiers.  Satoshi brought forth a powerful set of attacks, but Cero, however, had the shield to guard and responded with his strongest card:  Eradicator, Dragonic Descendant.  Even though most of his rear-guards were unavailable, Descendant brought forth a double trigger, and with its Limit Break, broke through two of his opponent's Perfect Guards.  Although he hadn't won that turn, he had certainly been able to pull ahead.  Surviving a second turn of Nebula Lord, his opponent was now out of locks.  Cero put everything he had into this one chance, and managed to defeat Link Joker.  With Satoshi presumably freed, and Vermillion avenged, Cero was ready to move on to freeing everyone else there...  However, Satoshi remained Reversed.  How!?  Cero had won!  Everyone else had been freed the moment they had lost, so why not now!? 

  Satoshi said two things to Cero before leaving:  One, that Cero should leave, and two, to tell Yugure that "the marked sends their regards."  Reluctantly, Cero began to exit the shopping district, but not before shouting at the fallen soul, "You may think I can't save others, but I swear I will free as many people as I can from the false power you and the other pawns of Link Joker give them.  I'll show them what true strength is!"

On top of one of the buildings of the shopping district. Hikaru was observing the fight from above. He had been tracking Cero for a while now. The self declared Europe's king of vanguard had managed to defeat the man, Satoshi. To be frank he didn't have much faith in Satoshi winning, especially calling back his starter after using its skill. What really caught him by surprise was the fact that Satoshi was still in a reversed state. Normally he would of been unreversed at the moment.

He continued to observe the self proclaimed King. Seeing as Cero Had left the area, he decided to leave. Going on to the oblivion that was parked on top of the building. The moment he went on the Oblivion the motorcycle began to change in shape. The engine began to emit a bloody scarlet glow. The Oblivion it self changed outwardly as the black became a stark white as red circuit lines began to go over the bike and the back and front of the bike became sharper. He began to rev up the new engine as he darts towards the edge and rides off onto the air. He worries not as the suit obscures his appearance and won't have to worry of the authorities or anyone else for that matter. Using the power of nothingness he creates a slip stream that gives a path for Hikaru. He revs the engine even faster as the bike lands on the concrete with no impacting damages on the fighter and the bike as it.

He then speeds off out of the area intending on taking down the king.

Rosalia hummed to herself as she wandered the streets of the shopping district. She would always see fighters and normal citizens alike, and sure enough, today was no different. She found the first fighter she could find, a guy with obnoxiously blonde hair that it was pretty much white. It was clearly dyed, but he was a fighter nonetheless. "Hi there~ Do you wanna have a fight? I'm new~" The male easily agreed and they moved to the closest alleyway to have their fight. Of course as they readied up, the ominous field appeared, the female grinning ear to ear.

The fight itself was quick enough, and the victor was obvious. As a new fighter joined the ranks of Reverse, Rosalia brushed her hair back and looked up at the sky. It was hard to see, still standing in the alleyway, but hey, she didn't care. More... more... The kingdom will spread... Watching her new fighter leave the alley to recruit more to her cause, Rosalia followed and headed into another direction to cover more ground.

Noel managed to make it to the shopping district as fast as she could. The streets were empty and no signs of life but she couldn't help but feel like she was being watched. Please be ok... just... please...

She kept, now at a walking pace, looking around the different little streets and alleyways but nothing. That was until she turned to the next street and found a familiar figure. A girl with long red hair, it was Rosalia. "Rosalia! Thank goodness! I'm so glad I... found... you...." Noel sensed something was wrong, No... no....

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 01, 2015, 09:57:22 PM
Rosalia, her back to Noel at first, waved away a few other fighters who obeyed without a word. She tapped the moon pendant, pitch black compared to the bright white it once was when Seifer had first given it to her. She only turned when she heard her name, and though the markings weren't visible at the moment, her eyes were clearly different. They were originally pale red, though her left eye held a bright crimson glint to it, while her right eye was practically glowing. "Oooooh?~~~ Noelyyyy!~ How nice of you to come find me!~ I was soooo lost without youuu..." She snickered, a dark aura surrounding her as she tilted her head at the other female. "Soooo guess what your reward is!~ You get to be part of my beloved circus-kingdom! Won't that be fun? You'll be the most beautiful actress on center stage, except for myself of course~ You and your pretty, pretty Jewel Knights!"

Post by: Cece Lockhart on October 01, 2015, 10:04:59 PM
No... this can't be... I... I couldn't do a thing...

Noel closed her eyes in disbelief and tears started to flow down her closed eyes. Rosalia looked like the fighter Tsubasa faced the day before. The facial expression, the look in her eyes full of lifeless life if that made sense, and the dark black and red aura surrounded her. Her personality even made a complete 180 degree twist. "I... I have no choice... I swear I will bring you back!! I will make sure the next time Seifer sees you, you will be your normal self again!!"

Noel's eyes got fierce and filled with anger, a feeling she hardly ever displayed seriously. She pulled her deck out as Noel glowed a sky blue aura. It was time to cardfight, but this time, their lives were at stake. A fight Noel couldn't afford in losing.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 01, 2015, 10:09:58 PM
Rosalia listened actually quietly as Noel yelled at her, watching the tears fall before being replaced by anger. "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Your colors are raging like a fiery blade, the flames glinting against the jewels of sorrow!" Her snickers became full out laughter, insanity being her own emotion as she drew her own deck. The field around them formed, floating tables of a pale red color appearing before each player as Rosalia set her vanguard face down. "And Seifer, you say?... Don't worry. You can help me find him when we're done, and then he will become my King in this wondrous kingdom!!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cece Lockhart on October 01, 2015, 11:29:54 PM
Noel's determination of saving Rosalia from the Reverse raised her strength to its maximum output. It was the first time she ever went truly serious and it was for the right reason, to save one of her few friends that she care for the most. "I won't let you win!! Stand up the Vanguard!!"

Noel was on fire, her own will and determination of purifying Rosalia's heart resonated with her own deck which also allowed her sky blue aura flare up in intensity. Draw trigger, draw trigger, heal trigger, heal trigger, critical trigger. Noel was getting trigger after trigger, relentlessly attacking Rosalia's Silver Thorns with the proud might of her own Jewel Knights. Just when the fight seemed to be in her favor, Rosalia rode into her Reverse unit. A corrupted form of Luquier known as the Silver Thorn Dragon Queen. Luquier's beautiful black hair now stained in a blood red color with a giant black and red ring circling behind her. From that point on, the fight's momentum slowly started going into Rosalia's favor.

The fight raged on with powerful back and forth attacks until Noel's defenses slowly started to cripple against the corrupted Pale Moon's power. Noel was getting desperate and eventually found herself with no hand and Luquier Reverse dealt the finishing blow. No... this can't be... I... I wasn't strong enough...

Tears started coming down Noel's face for she knew what was going to happen. "Seifer... everyone... I'm sorry... I tried... I wanted to be strong like you all...." Then the dark red and black aura engulfed Noel which caused her tremendous pain. She let out a loud scream that anyone in the shopping district or maybe even as far as the park could hear it. "I... I... I can't... no... I... must.... resist...!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Noel desperately tried to resist, fighting the evil energy with every ounce of strength but the more she resisted the more pain was inflicted. She held her head and tried to walk away, her conscious slowly fading, her strength rapidly vanishing, her vision becoming blurry by the second. That was when she heard the voice once more...

I told you... we would come for you... welcome to the Void!

She started crying after realizing that her nightmares have come true and yelled one more time, "NOOOOOOOO!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The commotion attracted local fighters who had no clue what happened. All they saw was a girl that was getting up and slowly turned her head to see them, a red light emanating from her eyes and red fang-like marks on her face. "Tell me, are any of you strong?

The group of fighters responded to the taunt and they all took out their decks with great confidence. In record time, the girl defeated all of them, "I guess not..." She walked towards the red haired girl, "Weakness is a sin... perfect candidates to be your little minions, Rosalia..."

Noel has become Reversed

Seifer, after having made his way here from the dangerous place that was made more dangerous by two others showing up, stopped dead in his tracks at one end of the shopping district. It was way to quiet. Where was everyone? It was almost like one of those horror flicks that just had one person in a long narrow place with nothing happening until he gets halfway in and when he does...

"Are you strong?" Are you serious? In horror movie fashion Seifer was soon blocked off from proceeding any further by a massive amount of Reverse fighters. "Well... I didn't think it was going to be that easy but this is pretty ridiculous." he sighed pulling out his deck and readying to fight each and every one of them. The echoes and shouts of each fallen Reverse fighter, and the screams of pain as they were drained of the evil energy echoed throughout the district. Probably drawing the attention of two select fighters and their minions. If they decided to investigate, they'd see a half reversed Seifer standing in the middle of what looked like a massacre scene, just no blood, his marking glowing brightly and a soft but distinct aura of flames.

Rosalia watched with a mad grin at Noel's pain, watching almost happily as she was Reversed. A new actress stood on the stage, and the redhead wandered off. Noel would do fine with collecting others for her circus, as well as whatever else she wished to do. But the Queen was distracted, sensing something... off. Soon she heard screams, letting the painful cries guide her way to the other end of the shopping district. Was there more Reverse fighters working for her? Or just in general? The thought brought a smile to her lips, only for it to fade when she saw the bodies littering the streets like corpses, having just been Un-Reversed instead. No... no no no... Who would DARE destroy my work?! Standing in the middle of the bodies, the sight of the all too familiar brunette brought the wild grin to the redhead's lips. "Ooh!~ Seiferrrrr!!!! How good of you to finally show up!~ I can't wait to tell you all that I've been up to... And all of it just for you!~"

She stopped just a few feet out of reach, happier than ever with the widest grin possible. Her own Reverse markings were still in plain view from her fight against Noel, her eyes mismatched and nearly clashing as her left remained a pale red with just a soft glint, while her right eye was glowing madly. Even the white moon pendant was now black as night, a similar color to the aura that surrounded her. "Seiferrrr~ Don't you want to play?... We can finally be together forever and ever and ever, as the rightful King and Queen we were meant to be! Noely will be happy to know you've come to join us in my pretty circus kingdom!~"

As the brunette was about to press forward, his worst fear stepped in front of him. Well, crap. She was reversed and with how she spoke he could only guess that Noel was to. What a pain. "Well, hun... You see the thing is..." he gave a soft smirk as his aura flared up even more, both of his hands settled into his pockets. "I'm not in the mood to become it's puppet, or yours for that matter. However appealing and fun that sounds." as he spoke, his face contorted from a gentle loving one to one that looked like he could break a building in half if he wanted to. The intimidation look helped since the fiery aura he had cast a shadow over his face, soft red eyes, and the mark the only things able to really be discerned through it all. "So... You want me to stand at your side however... Mmmmm, wouldn't you rather stand at mine. Away from all of it? All this puppetry. Everyone else getting in the way of us?" for some reason Seifer was acting maybe a little bit different from normal, or maybe it was just his filter finally breaking and some of who he really was coming out. Someone would probably think the brunette had succumbed to the reverse again, but the way he moved, and didn't go insane again proved he wasn't.

"Rosalia vs Seifer eh, this should be interesting" Neo said from a distance.

Neo then walked up to get a closer view of the action.

"So Seifer, How do you plan to get out of this mess" Neo said with an evil chuckle

Rosalia frowned at the aura, more so as to his answer. He wasn't going to stand with her?... Was he going to leave her?... "No.. no.. I don't want that! I want you to be my King. Mine! Stand by my side! Stand at the center of the stage! We could make everyone happy... Everything colorful..." She clenched her fists by her side, staring into the shadows that covered his face. Her own aura flared up, her right eye glowing brighter than before in sync with her pendant. "This is my power, and mine alone! Nothing stands between us now, and never will! I am Queen and you will be my glorified King, sitting upon the throne as our subjects entertain and answer my call and whip!!" Much like Luquier Reverse herself, even Rosalia's hair seemed to darken in color, a beautiful blood-red crimson. With a wave of her hand, the familiar Reverse fight fields appeared, slamming her deck down with such force, even her aura shuddered. "I won't let anything take you from me!!!"

"Well that's disappointing. I was hoping to get you back to my side without fighting." he sighed, placing his deck on the fight table, the aura dying down, only to reappear like black flames. "I don't understand why you're so insistent in having others around us if you want just me, but this is fine. I'll show you how wrong you are and take you back with my own hands."

Rosalia glared at the brunette, placing her vanguard just before the fight started. "I won't fall... The Queen stands center stage, and the show goes on for eternity!! Stand up, my vanguard!"

Throughout the fight, could it be considered even? She hit four damage early, saved by an early double heal. And without much retires save for a few from Blaster Dark Revenger, there wasn't a terrible need to constantly refill her field. She should have had it set... and yet, it was like her cards themselves started to disobey the Queen's command. Three of her four Zelma into the damage. And a lack of a second trigger when she first needed it. But she got it the second time, and yet... Seifer's deck answered faithfully with the double heal... When it came to Dragruler's final attack, a double trigger again, with a critical to boot. Her first damage was a sixth heal, but the second... again, her deck didn't answer... The female stared down at her cards, hands shaking with eyes wide. "No... No no no no no no... This is not how it was supposed to end! This is all wrong! The show must.. must go on!..." Rosalia lifted her gaze to Seifer, a terrible glare from her glowing eyes. But before she could say another word, her aura turned on her, shrouding her in a cloak of pain. "N-nooo!! I cannot fall!!!" She collapsed to her knees, then fell forward as her cries came to an end. The aura escaped her with an unearthly shriek, all glowing ceasing to exist.

When she shifted again, her lips parted in a soft whimper. Her body ached to no end, having barely the strength at first to open her eyes. "A-aaaah.. owwwww.... Hurts... so much... Where... am I?..." Rosalia turned her head to try and look around, she winced and shut her eyes again. Wherever she was, the ground was solid. A sidewalk? A road? The last she remembered was being in the park with... someone?.... It hurt to try and remember...

During the fight, Seifer remained calm, pressuring the reversed female with questions and trying to make her question her own actions. At the end of it, Seifer's Revengers responded to his staggering will and determination, striking quickly and efficiently, and saving him when he needed it. At the end of the fight, Mordred evolved, gaining the power to transcend realms, and break Luquier free of her spell. As his own aura died down and the female lay on the side walk trying to remember, he scooped her up princess style. Oddly enough the male showed no fatigue from this hard fight and the fights before it. And he didn't say a single word when he lifted her up off the ground, just cradled her.

"O-o-ow ow ow-w..." Rosalia whimpered quietly as she was picked up. Even if she wasn't moving herself, moving at all hurt like never before. She would have been okay just laying on the ground, wanting to sink into the coolness of the cement and never move again. But she did recognize behind held by someone, forcing her eyes open again even if they only opened halfway. Her vision was blurred, blinking a few times to focus, and what she saw first was simply the color of brown hair. "S.. se-eifer?... What.. happened?... I-i was... I was at the park?... but.. I-i don't.. O-ow..."

"Relax 'Queenie'." he teased her for calling herself a queen while she was reversed. She probably wouldn't get it but he quietly carried her down the district, making sure not to drop her while glancing at her every so often. She really was okay right? He figured she'd be in some kind of pain since that's kinda what reverse likes to do but... "Don't worry about anything to much, you're fine. I'm just going to take you home and get you some medicine and water. Sound good?"

"Q-queenie?..." The redhead didn't understand. Well, he was carrying her like a princess, but that couldn't be what it was. But trying to think back to any joke they could have had just hurt, wincing at the pain that coursed through her body from head to toe. However, if there was one thing she did remember, it was her deck. More so that she had it with her. "W-wait.. My cards... a-are they okay?... I had them with me.. I-i'm sure I did..."

Seifer continued to walk along with the female in his arms nodding slightly. "I've got them don't worry. I'll give them back when we get home. Just let me know if and when you want down though." he told her, not sure how she'd really feel about being carried like she was.

Khudus was hiding in a cafe. Ever since he entered the shopping district he had been overwhelmed by fight requests. Thing was all these fighters haboured a dark aura. He fought off a few but they kept coming one after the other. He had no idea what was happening but he had a bad feeling. Ethics Buster was doing well but he was not at his best. These endless fights were taking its toll.

These guys don't give up. Like they are zombies. Curses. he then tee members Noel in the past. When younger she mentioned darkness before he had no idea what she was on about. He had a bad feeling about her. He quickly got up. As he reached for door handle to cafe he stopped. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes and moved away from the door. Look at me. Trying to act the hero. Like I have anything to worry about. I bet Sleifer, Rose or any of her friends would let something happen to her. No your job is to find out the source of this infestation and try to stop it.

He grinned a grin of renewed determination and headed out. First things first. Find someone who knew what was happening and get details on it.

Noel now Reversed walks around the district. Now warped by the power of the Reverse, she seeks fighters to strike down. She will now only accept those who are strong, the weak shall be trampled on.

Weakness is a sin, only the strong have the right to stand!

The phrase that she once hated from her father and completely disagreed with is now being held high and proudly. With her new strength, Noel is now impulsed to eliminate the weak.

"I'm a Kusanagi, one of the most powerful families in the world! It is my birthright to trample on to those inferior to me! This whole city... MUST be purified from the weak!"

She kept walking down an alleyway, her goal was simple, Judge and Execute. Nothing more. Nothing less. It was time Noel "woke up" from her dream and to accept the reality of what she was meant to do in life, become the next head of her family and have the world in her hands. Purging everything not deemed worthy of existing. The Reverse has finally given her the power, enough power to even surpass her own father in strength. The world was in her hands and she was their Judge. Noel found unsuspecting fighters having casual matches. Their purification was about to start and walks up to them, "You two... which one of you are strong? It's not like it matters, trash will always be trash compared to me!"

The two fighters got very offended at the insult and pulled out their decks, "For a girl, you talk big. Do you have any idea who you are talking to?! We are the strongest fighters in our neighborhood! We will see who is the one that's trash after we fight!"

Noel got a twisted smile on her face and the red fang-like markings appeared on her face and started to laugh,  "You two? The strongest? Your blasphemy has condemned you! Your judgment has arrived!"

-a few moments later-

The 6th damage was dealt to one of the two fighters quite effortlessly. The dark aura that engulfed Noel had also engulfed the fighter and started to scream in pain and passed out. The other fighter tried running away but Noel dashed to him and forced him into a fight, "Where do you think you are going?! LET'S PLAY SOME MORE!!" And within moments, that fight also concluded in Noel's victory and as the dark aura also began it's Reverse process on the poor fighter, Noel began to laugh at his pain like a sadist. "Your existence itself is a sin... one who is weak has no right to stand next to me! Know your place and kneel before me! Drown in your own weakness and be part of the Reverse!"

Noel then walked away leaving the two fighters screaming in pain from the Reverse process. She then slowly whispered to herself, "I will find you... brother..."

After escaping from the clutches of Oshiro he had returned to the forest in order to get the oblivion and has been reversing fighters in the mean time.

"All for the sake of justice...for my empire." He had already lost his kingdom to that damned Oshiro. Now he's focused on building his empire. His generals had contacted him on the halt of his campaign at New York. They told him the Neu has been liberating some of his foot soldiers and have now joined her side of the ongoing war. Tomoda sent him a message that they'll be returning to Japan with the remaining reverse fighters from new york and instruct some of them to head to other countries in order to side track Neu.

"Right make sure she doesn't follow your trail. All in the name of my empire. Take care" He texted him back. He stood up and went on his motorcycle and driven away from the district.

Oshiro rallied his men, now all political supporters, preparing their march onward to greater power. To become rules and dominate over all,to bring change to the systems himself. What a nice goal. Reverse was helping him.

The animal and his supports marched onward through the district, the numbers endless, and this wasn't even all of them. His friends had become leaders of certain sections within the forces, it's grown to a considerable amount. Oshiro had made his way as an official member of the representative body of Japan, but that wasn't enough. His rise to power was coming quickly, and the power that he had in his hands to dominate those who stood in his way mad it quick and easy work.

Now that Haruto was returned home safely Tsubasa decided to get some fresh air in a way, he just wanted some free time from this whole situation, especially since he will be needed quite soon. He decided to go to the shopping district as it always has some way of calming him down in the sense that it reminded him of some interesting times when he met friends and just hung out just for the sake of hanging out.

As he walked through the streets he came to a halt, as he saw a man almost as large as an animal, but this man led something like an army, to most it looked like a political takeover, but to someone who could somewhat sense that cold aura after his experiences with Neo and others, it felt like an attack, "..What is this about exactly?" he asked stepping into the man's path.

It was rare nowadays for Oshiro to sense a clean scent. Yes, it was free of the smell of reverse, just like everyone was before take over. Wihin a few days, almost everyone has been taken in by the power. How did this individual evade it? Oshiro thought it would be a chance for another fun game.

He bent down a little to reach the little man's height. "HMMM?" Oshiro inspected him closely and stood back up again, fixing up his tie, looking like a demon dealing cards for the devil. With the way in which he played Vanguard, that might be the right way to go about it. He ordered that a table be placed between them.

"I SMELL A FIGHTING SPIRIT IN YOU, HMMM.. I HAVEN'T HAD A GOOD ONE IN DAYS." He thought about it as a servant set the table in between them along with a pair of bracelets. "A NEWER MODEL SINCE MY LAST ONE WAS WRECKED... THIS ONE HAS A HIGHER INTENSITY." He put a bracelet on himself as he looked at the one whom he now saw as his opponent. "TO THINK THAT YOU AVOIDED THE POWER THIS LONG. ITS EITHER YOU WENT INTO SOME DEEP HIDING OR ARE STRONG. EITHER WAY, I NEED TO GET YOU TO BE ONE OF US." Oshiro laughed.

"PUT ON THE BRACELET IF YOU WISH TO FIGHT OR IF YOU ARE THE COWARD WHO LASTED THIS LONG BY RUNNING OFF, YOU'RE FREE TO DO SO, GRANTED I WILL CHASE AFTER YOU AND THROW YOUR RAG DOLL BODY INTO ONE OF THESE BUILDINGS."

The threats of the large man did not seem to alter Tsubasa's resolve, he was now certain that this person was reversed, and that this situation would be dangerous if he did not stop him and his army. He recognized the gear as slum gear, it gave him a better idea where to investigate in the future, as it seems the slums would have some interesting reverse activity, though the gear was more advanced this time.

"I don't plan on falling to you, I'll put an end to your march her and now." he said, placing his deck and strapping the bracelet. "..Good fight huh, that makes both of us, Now Stand Up!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Hope on October 04, 2015, 05:24:54 AM
A few witty remarks back and forth.

Gancelot Zenith was the first to appear, a cross break ride that powered up allies and called a new one for an extra attack. With the fight table that was used, combined with the reverse energy as well as the powerful images of both fighters, the units themselves had materialized as if they were there. The shocks from the table were the least of their problems.

Both fighters stood in opposition, with the crowds a safe distance away from the fight, keeping watch as their leader took on another victim in the middle of an empty shopping district in the middle of the night. Behind both of the fighters were similar buildings, both of a glass and stone construction, stores with offices stacked on top of them. They were just about the same.

Gancelot swung his blade at Dauntless Drive Dragon, activating his limit break and standing along side Blaster Blade, the shock wave of the skills causing the glass on the buildings behind the giant to slightly crackle and show signs of scratches. The turn ended with Oshiro at four damage. Released from his limits was the fangs of his own reverse unit, Dauntless Dominate Dragon Reverse. The lone Vanguard stood, a large dragon looking down upon the Knight that rode onward alongside two swords of light. With the break ride skill, Oshiro was able to do two powerful attacks with his Vanguard, forcing his opponent to guard a considerable amount.

The glass windows of the buildings behind his opponent shattered at the power of the dragon.

On the next turn, Gancelot struck again, calling forth allies and coming at Dauntless Dominate Dragon with a much more tremendous power. The final attack that struck the Dragon and caused a wave that caused a large gaping hole on the building behind Oshiro, the stone shattered and the shards of glass fell upon the surrounding area.

Oshiro wasn't done. Dauntless Dominate Dragon "Reverse" roared, his limit break only to have his assault stopped by Guinevere's skill which increased the unit's shield by +5000 for each of the player's rearguards until the end of the battle. Unfortunately for his opponent, Dauntless Dominate Dragon was able to reduce his rearguards, causing Guinevere's shield to decrease, all the while powering up and in the end the dragon's attack caused the area behind Tsubasa to rumble and the building's stone structure to crack a little on it's front.

"THIS IS TOO MUCH FUN! I JUST CANT HAVE YOU LOSE HERE, WE HAVE TO PLAY AGAIN HAAHAH! I UNDERSTAND NOW." The animal enjoyed the worthy opponent and found that he was good enough as he was. He wouldn't gain anything from reversing this one man, let alone the only one who gave him a decent enough challenge that he actually enjoyed himself.

As the the units had their final clash, Gancelot's power caused a good deal of the building behind Dauntless to crumble more while Dauntless merely caused a few more windows to shatter. When it came to their champions, Oshiro overpowered his opponent and grabbed his head. Oshiro's hands were large enough to carry the little warrior who was instantly lifted off of the ground. "GET STRONGER AND FIGHT ME AGAIN, I'LL LET YOU OFF THE HOOK THIS TIME."

With that, Oshiro took his opponent's rag doll body and tossed it into the building behind him, his opponent being flung like a bullet through the glass and causing it to shatter.

Oshiro straightened up his suit and ordered his crowd to follow him as they walked off.

The fight was definitely a sight to behold, and with the strength of the system and the fighters the Shockwave seemed to echo into reality, causing certain levels of destruction to nearby buildings and even more devastation to the buildings behind both fighters. With the fight unconcluded nothing could have prepared Tsubasa for what was coming, he'd been too focused on the fight and it's intensity, growing to respect the fighter regardless of the circumstances.

As Oshiru lifted Tsubasa from his head and thew him to the building behind him all what Tsubasa could think was that things happened too quickly, "Uggh!!" he grunted, as his body crashed into the building causing even more damage to it.

As he descended to the ground with ease, surprisingly, he realized that the man and his army had left or were leaving, "..That fight was incredible...but I just got thrown into a building...yet I don't feel that much pain...it's as If I was pushed to a wall..but the force was there...even with all the damage I did the damage from my body getting slammed is clear...just what is going on.." he said, as he began walking towards the other building, the one that Oshiru's units used as a sandbag, though from the front Tsubasa had done more dmg.

"..I guess that what saved him was the system and his throw clearly the power of me and my units did more." he said, as he continued walking next to the building.

"...Ah...It...can't be...." he said, staring at the back of the building that is basically nothing bit rubble now...

"The damage that I dealt may have shown from the front but...not like this...just how much power...the back of this building is basically gone..." he said, as he tried to make sense of the situation.".Daisuke Oshiru...we'll meet again.."

  In his hunt for the Black Rings, Cero found himself in the shopping district.  He looked up to the sky to see if the black ring was still present.  Much to both his excitement and dismay, it was.  There were a horde of Reverse fighters scattered about, but, in some way, they seemed somewhat different than the other Reverse fighters.  Cero grimaced as the rest of the Reverse fighters in the area noticed him, and he took out his deck in preparation to fight...

Another taken in. A politician most likely trusted by many was reversed by Oshiro. He walked onward past the prominently known Shopping District once more, his followers ransacking the shops for their bounties. He grabbed a few stray fighters as he walked past, throwing and tossing them about, letting out a few screams here and there. His large organized militia of reversed fighters had now grown, even sporting their own cars for easy transport. His steady rise to power was going well.

  Cero had began fighting off the Reverse fighters that come at him, but in the distance he noticed a brute of a man in the distance that was acting differently than the rest.  Taking him for a leader, Cero attempted to push passed the Reverse fighters, knowing that taking out their leader would make his job far easier.  However, he wasn't able to get though so easily.  Hoping that this would grab his attention, the Kaiser decided to see if something potentially dangerous would work.  He no longer had the power of Reverse coursing through his body, but his Soul still had that power.  Cero released a similar aura to the one he had gained while Reversed, but now less chaotic and more in control, free from the taint of the invaders.  A brilliant purple bolt of lightning shot from Cero's body into the sky, something that would obviously get the attention of anyone nearby.  Most of the nearby Reverse fighters backed up in fear, realizing that they weren't facing someone, they were facing some thing, something far out of their league.  Returning his attention to the brute in the distance, his aura still erupting into the sky, the Kaiser pointed at him, shouting, "You there!  You're a leader of Reverse, aren't you!?"

Darren was asked to leave the Reversed one with Link Joker to those that were there. He decided to do just that. When Xat left, he wanted to go after her but instead he recieved a text from Hana. It wanted the Cardfight Club to go to the Shopping District. It seemed like a trap. She was Reversed. Still, Darren saw the others were busy so he decided to check on it himself.

When he reached the Shopping District, the first thing he saw was a large black ring overhead. He already saw what kind of day this was going to be. He went inside, looking around as he saw the chaos. At the head of it all, he saw someone he recognized. "OSHIRO! he yelled out as he ran towards the group. He already knew what his deck could do and his body was mostly recovered. This was his chance to take him. "Why don't you step from behind your Reversed fighters so we can finish what we started?! I can't just let you get away with all of this!

This guy again... I'll try to hold your body together, provided he accepts the fight.

Oshiro looked at the cute bolt of lightning that was shot into the sky. Another strong fighter? After yesterday, he still had the adrenaline pumping through him, a fierce fire for battle. Is this one perhaps as strong as the one who he body bagged into a building the night prior? This was some enjoyment during his rise to power, something that he welcomed. If the puny thunder boy wanted to start off with a show of strength then so be it. He can be the opening act for those who were to come. He gathered a deal of reverse energy in hand then told his subordinates to move aside.

"GAHAHAH" He laughed as he threw a send a shockwave of the energy to a building to his right, causing an explosion. It crashed and crumbled in an instant, injuring a few of reversed fighters. "I TOLD YOU ALL TO MOVE OUT THE WAY!" He turned back to the lightning boy and slowly started to walk towards him, his subordinates trailing behind. "NICE LITTLE POWER YOU GOT THERE."

Suddenly, a call. The robot boy. His damage was still apparent on him. He still looked like a mess of parts. "I SEE SO I'VE BEEN INVITED TO SOMETHING THAT ISN'T JUST ANOTHER EASY TAKE OVER! INTERESTING!"

Darren glared as he started to walk towards Oshiro. He wanted to finish this. A fighter like this wasn't one he could fight everyday, and as much as he needed to win, the challenge was exciting. He held out his deck in front of him as he stood his ground right there, ready to battle.

"Cero, I know you can handle all the other fighters. I'll handle the easy job and deal with this big guy. He's not the head of the bunch, only the head of this area. Besides, you and I have a fight to finish, don't we, Oshiro?

Before he had a chance to answer he walked up to the nearest fight table, setting his deck down and he said, "My name is Darren Shurensei! I was once Reversed like you, and I found a power stronger than that in this deck here! If you're interested, I'll show you what it is!"

  At the sight of the brute's power, Cero grinned.  Now this would be exciting!  He looked over to their new arrival, the fighter that had taken over the Training Facility while Reversed.  Cero scoffed at him and returned his attention to the brute at hand.  If he was going to show off his power, so would Cero.  Gathering his power, Cero pointed his hand, without realizing it was actually pointed fairly close to Darren, and blasted a wave of his own royal energy in that direction.  Several buildings toppled and there were a few fires spread throughout the area of destruction from the massive amounts of heat produced.  Cero began to walk towards the brute, every step sending out a shockwave of energy, and causing his aura to grow bigger.

"If you think so little of my power, then show me that you're beyond what I'm capable of!"  Cero shouted his challenge towards the brute, not caring about the amount of destruction he was causing around him.

"HAHA TWO ALRIGHT THEN."

He clenched both of his fists as a massive amount of reverse energy came from him, not only that, but he absorbed that of those around him. He laughed and laughed, his sanity having been slowly taken over as he assembled a small group of his persona friends to his own private militia. Their power combined with his and now he was a being that matched powers with the generals of Link Joker themselves.

"AHAHAHAHAHA!" The energy gathered, causing the ground around him to shake and crack at his feet. Rubble began to rise into the air, and his aura caused a cutting wind to fall along the area.

"VERY WELL I'LL TAKE YOU BOTH AT ONCE!"

Darren had to duck out of the way of the blast Cero released. He glared at the European Champion, about to yell at him for doing something like that so close to him until Oshiro declared that he would fight the both of them at once. Darren was almost insulted at the thought, but at the same time, this guy was strong... like, abnormally strong. Physically as well as with his Reverse. It wasn't something they could just take lightly.

"Fine, if that's how you want it, as long as we take you down!" Darren called out. He wasn't sure what kind of deck Cero actually used now that he thought about it. He saw Gold Paladins once but then declared that wasn't his true power. Whatever he was using, he would have to adapt fast if they were really going to do this.

Having received Hana's message to meet up he races through the empty streets of Hoshiko to get to the main center of the area. He sees the black ring in the sky, indicating that he was close to the destination. The engine reeked with negative energy as it roared through the streets of Hoshiko. He arrived to see the likes of Oshiro, Cero and another boy he did not recognize. Hikaru's heart began to rapidly beat in pain as the area reeked with so much reverse stigma he could feel it being dragged into his body.

"Damn it...not now. Freezeray do something!" He mentally screamed at his partner to fix the situation. Even if his heart is locked, he could still feel the intense energy trying to seep through his barriers and damage his heart even further. The dragon began to chuckle before he turned into a red ball full of nothingness and phased through his heart. The beating stopped as he let out as sigh of relief.

"Thank you..."

The distorted figure from the Train Station suddenly jumped in into this mess, as if called upon. It walked around the District, pushing aside all of the Reversed. Eventually It reached the main attraction, and apparently the source of this brief earthquake - a Reversed Fighter different than the others, he didn't appear to be mindless, and from the looks of it a fight was about to break out between him and the others.

The figure just stood there, the scythe burried into the ground by the blade for him to lean against it. It observed the other two and didn't appear to plan to interfere.

The area was blown into bits, the three that fought caused a chaos, an unstoppable battle of the elements.

The dark flames of Dauntless Dominate Dragon clashed Daikaiser's justice and Tempest Bolt Dragon's thunder. The skies went up into  into a cloudy mess with thunder striking down upon the surrounding area. The sheer force of Daikaiser's attacks caused the surrounding structures to break apart and Dauntless taking both units at once required a far greater power than any. It released flames composed of the a pitch black void, bringing further destruction.

The area was like a scene from the apocalypse.

Both units charged forward as Oshiro fought both fighters at once, Dauntless making quick work of their rearguards. Tempest Bolt Dragon's limit break rid of his as well while Darren despite not having any cards in hand was able to activate a combination tactic with Shadow Kaiser and Daikaiser in order to form his Cross-break ride.

"TRIPLE DRIVE?!" Oshiro ended up having to guard with his entire hand during that turn. Dauntless pushed Great Daikaiser away, barley escaping defeat. As for Tempest Bolt, it was prepared to attack next, so Oshiro had to make his next turn count.

During his turn he had claimed it in his mind, victory was now his. "ITS OVER ITS OVER ITS OVER! HAHA" Dauntless Dominate Dragon activated his limit break and went on the assault, once again decimating both of their fields to nothing and an explosion went over the area as Great Daikaiser and Tempest Bolt Dragon dispeled Dauntless Dominate Dragon, the clash creating a pushing force which pushed the fighter's back, even Oshiro and all his weight was taken off his feet, regaining balance shortly after.

"GH...." It was the same was yesterday, the adrenaline ran through him even more. He felt an excitement. "SUCH POWER! HAHAHAHA! CAN YOU BOTH STILL STAND!? COME LETS CREATE MORE CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION!"

As he yelled at them, he felt stronger presences around. It seems that they were beginning to gather.

Darren was barely standing after the assault. His body was not prepared for this. So much so that when he used his ultimate unit, he wasn't able to use its full power. The type of battle didn't help either. The impacts were so strong that they were destroying buildings and Darren was right in the midst of it. He was panting as he saw the final explosion.

Darren was blown back after it, anyone would be. He fell back, but not over, as he stood his ground. He wanted to keep going even beyond that but the units were gone and his body was spent. He held his arm in pain as he was now bleeding all over. His previous wounds had reopened by the battle. Still,he was standing there, staring down Oshiro. He was strong enough to fight them both and stand his ground against their strongest units.

"I'm still... standing!" Darren called out, too stubborn to let it end this way. You're still done. You can't withstand another battle, and you haven't unlocked the full power of this deck just yet.

Are you trying to say there's still more?!

Just who the hell do you think I am? Of course I have more in me than this. Unfortunately its something I can't unlock on my own.

  The intensity of this clash was beyond anything Cero had ever felt...  This was what he lived for!!!  The force of the last set of blows had sent Cero flying off his feet, but he stood once more as if nothing had happened, oblivious to the apocalyptic destruction they were causing and the blood dripping from his mouth, and that his left arm and several ribs were now broken.  Cero's grin turned psychotic, and his aura flared up to a level match, nay, surpassing that of the brute in front of him.  Cero couldn't hold back an inch against this man, but he was beginning to make the same mistake his Avatar had over a year ago:  In order to reach this level of power, he was using up his own life force.  He could only keep this up for so long, yet he was unaware of this, only focused on the power his opponent had.  To those who knew the power of Reverse, it had begun to feel as if Cero was once again under its influence, though no sign of it was visible on his body. 

  "IS THIS THE EXTENT OF YOUR POWER!?"  Cero was shouting, standing taller than he ever had before.  This man was worthy of Cero's full attention, and he continued, "I'M ALMOST DISAPPOINTED!  COME ON!!!!  SHOW ME YOUR REAL POWER!!!"  Cero issued the challenge, the ear-to-ear psychotic grin plastered over his face from the sheer excitement that this battle was bringing him.

Chaos continued to ensue in the shopping district with three giants in their own accord tussling it out in the very middle, while the dominate stance stood with his army behind him facing all of them at once. It did not take diablo much time to reach that area, tho his only concern was reaching before more damage was caused.

As the thunder howled through the skies one dark figure stood on top of one of the nearby buildings, his black coat fluttering in the stormy wind, "No reason...except chaos...they're fighting without care." he thought to himself.

With one move the masked figure jumped from the building landing in front of the army,"If the club can't handle it then I will..DRAW!"exclaimed the shadowy figure as he drew his top card sending most of the army flying away, as he tried to keep everyone safe.

Amidst the endless storm of chaos, the incarnation of wrath and fury began to descend, roaring about a challenge to all of those dueling amongst themselves along with the booming thunder. On the back of Raging Form Dragon, the Chosen Sword came in with Seifer and Satoshi. Hopping off, Yugure immediately summoned Salome and Gancelot Zenith from their cards. The units here were clearly surpassing the game - becoming one with the reality of another plane - of earth. Naturally, the psychic Meister rose to the occasion with the power she was already familiar with. The Sword of Courage flashed into her hand, and Raging Form didn't even wait for anybody before dashing into the discord to sate his bloodlust. At most, the dragon had the courtesy to wait for everyone to get off of him before going in.

"What in the hell...?"

Darren turned to see his friends starting to enter into the area one by one. He would move to greet them, but that really wasn't possible right now. His bloodied body was frozen in place by the thought of the amount of pain that would come from each muscle movement. It was clear that he overdid it, not even aware of what happened outside of this basically destroyed Shopping District.

"Glad you guys... could make it..." Darren managed to say as he fought his own consciousness as everything within him was saying to pass out for the sake of getting rest, but he couldn't do that now. Many people were coming here and it was obvious something was about to happen. Even if his body was ripped to shreds as a result, he'd be there at the final moment. He had to do that much.

Seifer had come into the fight bounding on the back... Of a giant dragon. It was amazing to say the least but... There was fighting everywhere and more fighting, more chaos. Why couldn't this just end? And all the vanguard units fighting... What was Seifer to do? He had no powers did he? Wait, what was it he did back in the dreamscape? He thought for a moment and holding his hand out he snapped... and the air in front of him ignited. What... What was going on? Snapping his fingers again, one of the real, living Link Joker units burst into flames. Well... Uh... Okay. Deciding to run in after Yukino, he'd make himself useful somehow.

Seeing the chosen sword and her allies jumping off the abyss dragon. He rev up the engine and turned to the center of the shopping area and push the pedal and let the engine roar. He feels the wind crashing on to his face as he speeds through. He then materialized a single card into his hand as he raises it up to the air.

"Come to me my avatar of the void!" A dark red vanguard circle appeared behind him as Freezeray Dragon lets out a roar. "Freeze them to distortion!" As his dragon flies off to fight the resistance. He then preceded to try and run one of them over.

Satoshi hopped off of Raging Form to note the state of the Shopping District. A complete mess? Damn, this had been his original post. If he had stayed, perhaps it wouldn't have been so torn up. Oh, well...

He recognized that Darren was here, along with Cero, whom he felt the intensity of, reminiscent of Reverse. About time. And on top of both of them, the huge brute he observed in the park, planning to raise an army of his own. He had let it slide at the time, but now, considering how actually destructive the fights were getting...he was starting to go against the order the black rings wanted, at least to a degree. The takeover would be successful without destruction.

Satoshi went to raise his hand to remind this hulk of a man who he was, but it occurred to him that in doing so, he would probably get his neck cut. So instead, he waited it out, just to see what the Chosen Sword and Seifer would do. Along with some mysterious masked figure.

Behind him, he heard a motorcycle revving and heading straight for them. That didn't bode well.

  Cero payed no heed to the new arrivals, his gaze locked with the brute's as his aura began to grow out of control, destroying everything around it.  His desire called Tempest Bolt and Dragonic Descendant to his side, ready to face off against another powerful opponent, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw Raging Form Dragon, a dragon rivaling the strength of his own, approach to interfere.  With this, Cero's rage began to build within him, along with the power of the presence.  Soon enough, it may have the opportunity to unveil itself to the world once again.  His gaze shifted from the brute to the embodiment of wrath.  Tempest Bolt and Descendant were prepared to meet its challenge, but Cero stopped them.  For now, they had more pressing matters, like the other powerful Reverse fighters that had appeared.  Cero hadn't noticed them until now, but they were at a level beyond the brute Cero had just faced. 

  Then, he and Descendant saw that.  Freezeray Dragon.  The card that had defeated them.  Cero's rage was building, causing his aura to explode even more violently.  At this point, it might take death to stop the rampage Cero was in.  He charged towards Freezeray and its owner, with a raging fury that could only be matched by Raging Form Dragon itself.

The destruction increased as people started gathering, and with them their large monsters, further adding to the havoc that engulfed the entire district. The figure pushed Itself away from the scythe, grabbed it and then threw it into the air only to catch it behind It's back.

It walked forward a bit, to get a better view of the newly arrived group, completely ignoring the rampaging monsters from both sides, It's hand now rested on It's face as It let out a brief, distorted laugh which echoed around the surroundings. "Haha.. would you look at that.. to go as far as using your own monsters to fight for you.. honestly amazing." It added while looking down at the opposing group, the hazy figure that always accompanied It also marched forward after doing a laughing motion, just like the figure.

Yugure had been here less than five minutes and she was already irritated beyond possibility. Salome and Gancelot were told to go on ahead. Gancelot stated that he'd have to make sure Raging Form doesn't flip his lid and make matters worse, so he left on his noble steed. Salome, however, stayed with the Chosen Sword. Moving a bit to the side so the motorcycle coming at them wouldn't make a direct hit without a drifting turn, Yugure proceeded to use Blaster Blade to stab its front wheel out, not only stopping the bike, but most likely sending the rider flying. Unfortunately, it was her own temporary commander of Umano: Hikaru. Though, seeing him summon Freeze Ray nullified any sort of guilt there would be to feel. He'd likely not go crashing into a nearby wall anyway.

Salome was a bit frightened by how ruthless Yugure was, despite this. This hatred for the invaders far surpassed anyone she had ever seen in this war.

Raging Form met Descendant and Tempest Bolt. "Oh, yes! Beautiful!" He shouted, very glad to be able to face off against them, and they weren't even the actual problem. Mind you, Cero was clearly adding fuel to the destruction either way. Gancelot caught up, only to see the Kaiser start rushing into his death at Freeze Ray.

"Ah... dammit."

Being a tough guy, putting on the act, and still being friendly by helping random hotheads like him wasn't easy. The winged horseman followed, and Raging Form simply urged the Eradicators into a duel.

Oshiro had his arms wide spread, the fight unfinished as more arrived. Dauntless Dominate Dragon descended into the air, breathing out a dark flame that spread over the area. As it burned it ascended higher, overlooking its injured opponents. The animal took steps forward, signaling his army to gather behind him as they were only now getting the way. The reverse fighters themselves among this chaos were getting wounded. They were showing signs of fear, questioning their own power as they witnessed their Demonic leader's feats. Many turned to him in praise, further offering up their power to him.

"COME ON THEN!" He clenched his fists as he once again prepared for another fight.

At that moment the others began their battle and chaos ensued. Within his heart he was not fully capable of moving on, the Oshiro that had existed before which was deep inside didn't want this, but with the void taking over his mind, this chaos was all that he lived for. He was able to use his all, his full power. He was no longer a powerless slum boy, no longer voiceless and silent. He was now truly strong.

"MAKE YOURSELVES USEFUL AND GO AFTER THEM, I'D LOVE TO THROW THEM INTO ALL THE BUILDINGS MYSELF BUT I CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH!" He commanded his fighters.

The Shopping District was bustling, not in the usual way, but it bustling in an all out war. Both sides, the invaders and defenders gave their all. Explosions out of the pure power of the fighters happened and civilians were kept safe, rather, civilians were the invader's main pawns. Screams of pain from the reverse fighters went about as the battles ensued. Even the void energy wasn't acting like a good enough anesthetic for them anymore.

More explosions, Dauntless Dominate Dragon roared over the area, taking his signature stance, continuing to gaze down upon everyone.

"NOW..."

Exlposions... More explosions... Reversed fighters continued to scream and panic, the civilian casualties increased.

Silence.

Human After All (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c1veHTqdYnM)

Amidst the destruction came a quick halt, then humming. Even Oshiro himself began to hum a tune, it was heralding the arrival of The Princess. Humming...

Humming... they were heartlessly doing so, they were calling out to her, the damned and banished, singing a song for who once was the voice of hope.

On top of the skyscraper behind him, across from everyone else, descended a pair of black angel wings coated in red. She was holding hands with another individual, the body of Haruka, the vessel, and seed. Sera had arrived with her.

"What a beautiful song..."

Her presence calmed the reversed fighters, and caused them to kneel before her. They had forgotten their pain for her presence had cured it. They continued to sing and hum with her, and she, with them. Her eyes glowed red as she activated her power, distorting the darkness of the night sky, the moon and stars disappearing, everyone being coated in a pleasant darkness. The reverse energy also evaporated upon her command and reached toward the sky.

She turned over to Sera and laughed, "Hehehe... see, we can enjoy ourselves here!"

With a snap of her fingers, she caused an explosion on the sky, wiping out the tips of nearby skyscrapers, causing clusters of rubble to fall upon the area. After the darkness had cleared, a black ring appeared, overlooking the entire shopping district.

"Not as good as my usual light shows, but I think that was decent enough. Now then everyone, let's continue with this wonderful show."

Darren's eyes widened and it soon turned into a glare. That blade... that was the thing... the thing that Reversed him. And that voice, why was it familiar? It didn't matter. The source of all his pain and grief, the one who pulled him into the Reverse to begin with was right there. Why didn't he notice until now? Obviously because Oshiro had too much of a presence to be ignored. Whatever, there he was.

"You're the start of this!" he called out to the figure, pointing outward. He forgot the pain as he felt his body moving on his own. Was it adrenaline? Pure rage? Or was Daikaiser giving him the strength to move? Darren wasn't thinking about any of it. He was more focused on that haunting laugh and that red blade.

Knowing that the units seemed to materialize and become real here, Darren reached for his deck. That was the moment that the pain kicked in. Darren dropped his deck box as a sharp pain paralyzed his body completely. He couldn't even pick it up right away. You're kidding... he thought to himself as he realized he really had done too much already. His body was breaking apart one muscle at a time.

The damned sword had stabbed his front wheel as the motorcycle went out of control. Seeing Cero coming out to get him and freezeray. He back flipped off the motorcycle and landed on his feet pressed onto the ground. The man is still coming out him. Hikaru raises his palm in front of him.

"Guard!" A scarlet barrier appeared in front of him as it waits for the incoming attack.

As the battle continued on, Seifer started to grow more and more accustomed to how things worked, and even saw a biker go flying. This was out of like one of those ridiculous animes or mangas but... Whatever. At some point during the battle, Mordred's sword had appeared in his hand, and a thought occurred to him. Reaching into his Shadow Paladin deck case the male pulled out the Dragruler card, and sure enough, the massive abyss dragon appeared. And... It was huge. Though, he didn't speak a word to Seifer he went ahead to back up Gancelot and Raging Form, while trying to keep the bloodthirsty dragon from any trouble. This fight was getting to large and massive... Though the male didn't have time to think as he cut down, and burned several more real Link Joker units.

Sera simply landed softly atop the building, staring out over at the destruction and debris flying across. Due to the intensely thick space time distortion and Reverse energy in the area, Sera could in theory destroy buildings with this much energy to spare. If only he had this before Haruka had to hit the dirt. Would have caused a lot less pain...

With a small smile, he shrugged.

"Could have been better." He looked at her, laughing a bit at the chaos. Sera was honestly fond of seeing warfare. Not that he liked death THAT much, but he enjoyed watching sides struggle to the bitter end. The faces of nameless soldiers falling tended to get on his tender side. This was something out of a fairy tale for him. He stepped to the edge of the building.

"Why don't we join the action? In fact..."

It took no time at all to scent out the main forces in the area. Yukino and Seifer weren't too far off on the other end of the strip, and.... wait... what is that?

A scythe-wielding boy stood amidst the chaos, simply cackling to himself. Sera recognized an energy coming from him,  but not of the central force. It was... that laugh. The scythe. Oh-

"That damned Clown is at it again."

Sera allowed a corner of his mouth to perk up before restanding straight up to Hana. With a shrug, he looked out over the strip, allowing his energy to start taking over. Not influentially, but physically. Sera was able to complete superhuman feats with all of this energy circulating in one area. With a large supply like this, time to take advantage of what he has.

"Hana, I'm going to join the fray. What say you join me? It'll be fun, more fun than watching right? You are a performer after all." Leaving Hana with only a moment of reply, Sera stood at the edge of the building ready to dash at light speed for his target. The Clown... or the Lover. Decisions decisions.

  Cero halted in his pursuit of Freeze Ray Dragon and its owner with the descent of the princess, before he had slammed into the crimson barrier.  Both his fury and his desire halted as well, and Cero regained his control, his eyes turning to the woman who had surpassed him at every step.  The song, the angelic wings, the halo-like rings that were formed...  To many, she must truly have looked like a savior descended from heaven.  However, to Cero, she looked like a monster from the depths of Hell.  Turning to face her, he regained control of his aura and it died down to a far less destructive scale.  His objective was now to stop the nightmare that had appeared

Everything was happening at once. A continual clash of beings of multiple clans. New faces joining the fight all the time.

Satoshi felt the presence of two deathly strong forces of the invaders. One of them he didn't recognize, but the other...the other was an energy pattern that he had been seeking for a long time. One that had eluded him for ages.

The Seed was near.

His blood began to boil. His rings glowed harshly, trying to force a direct takeover. He fell to his knees, his head feeling like it could explode into bits. He cried out.

Nebula Lord wanted to return so he could meet with the Seed, and was going to get his wish, even if it meant eradicating his host.

Yugure knew straight away it was Hana's voice that subjugated the infected masses. Of course, the invaders would have everything she loved. Friends, family, actual beloved. Even worse, her younger sister looked as if she had undergone some mutation with black wings. Naturally, the princess would have an extraordinary amount of power for Link Joker to utilize. These reversed drones acted like her fanbase, only more like slaves and servants than the normal raging fanboy. The image of your avid fanboy tossing people out of a stadium to reach his idol were placed by that fanboy infecting people all the same. That's how she could imagine it.

And it was revolting.

Some mad idiot was shouting before too, and Dauntless Dominate Dragon had also appeared in reality. Truly, the Dragon Empire was in shambles, and every nation was going to follow the longer this war went on.

Alfred and the Chosen Sword stayed quiet, analyzing the scene, and conjuring a plan.

Salome, who had listened to Darren, would've like to prioritize the violent controller of Dauntless Dominate. However, with the princess there, approaching them head-on blindly would be asking to be incinerated or worse by one of the blasts Hana just summoned up. The Gate had appeared, the district was scaling more and more into becoming complete ruins...

"Better give 'em hell." She laughed.

She looked down over at the one with the scythe, acknowledging how edgy it was. Really, was that that the perverted man whom she had met at the train station such a long time ago? Surely he was a Clown back then, probably still even a Clown right now. She felt a large burst of reverse energy over at the train station today too. Could that have been him? How fitting.

The large spike of energy that Sera was releasing gave her more control over the area. The more darkness, the better. She spread her wings and took Sera's hand, quickly descending, falling down the building  and closer to the enemies. She walked down the shopping district with Sera, hand in hand to join the battle.

"Right then, I guess we'll go straight for the main event?"

The sky continued to distort at her presence, as if it was a wet and unfinished painting being smudged all over the rest of the canvas. She called out to the other performers now, still fulfilling her duties as a Princess even if it were to be one for the opposing side.

"Dauntless Dominate... Vowing Saver. Mmmm. Freeze Ray. " She pointed at them one by one, "Nebula Lord... get over here. The Clown is here too."

She nodded, "Looks like we have a good cast. Take the stage, Overlord."

Satoshi's body rose from its kneeled position, a stern look returning to its facial features. Nebula Lord was back in control, and this time, it had to armor up. The rings on his hand spawned two larger rings, chakrams, into his hands. The Seed demanded his presence in the voice of another, and it was his duty to serve.

The figure's attention quickly shifted to Darren, who was pretty much his first victim. Yet another person who had to resort to their own monsters to fight, but this one couldn't even get a hold of their own deck. The figure shook It's head and looked down, slowly walking towards him as if It was about to charge and strike him down.


But It stopped upon hearing someone, no, more than one person humming some sort of tune. The figure looked around trying to figure out where it was coming from. Only when the masses turned their heads up looking at the top of a skyscapter did It notice the source, a girl of angel-like presence and another person with her, a person that gave the Figure a really odd feeling that It couldn't really discribe, but it wasn't the good kind of feeling. The figure's stare wouldn't drop focus from the man next to said "Angel", even after all the explosions and rubbles.

In the meantime, the hazy figure seemed angry, furious even focusing it's stare at the Angel, slamming it's enormous tail into the ground with enough force to break the floor.

Sera's grin formed again.

The one he hid before.

A Cheshire grin flashed at lightspeed and disappeared, as if painted on his face like some messed up portrait, then quickly evaporated into a normal smile. Sera smiled walking forward, then, in the blink of an eye he had flashed forward across the field.

"G - l - a - d - l - y." That was the word that had flashed through space and time as Overlord's presence began to take a predatory stance. No, it was more than predatory. It was on the level of the greatest conquerors there were. He was in front of Yugure and Seifer, as well as the nearby Satoshi. He brought Hana along of course, only fair since she flew him all the way out here. They were partners in crime tonight, at least.

A wry grin turned to a solemn stare at the main event. Yugure. The Clown would wait tonight, there were a few things to settle. Sera took note of Seifer, but left him out of this for now. He said his piece to him before, no need to speak up. Raging Form Dragon's presence was more than invading. With all of this energy it wouldn't take long to reverse these three in an instant...

But where is the fun in that?

"Yugure." Sera felt a tinge of guilt for only a moment, but quickly discarded the thought remembering the show he had to put on tonight. There were just things that had to get done tonight, and this was one of them. Taking on one of the strongest warriors left on the opposing side well, that would be quite the achievement, no?

"Tell me that dragon isn't for show. I expect a bit more than that." With the manipulation of Reverse energy, the star-locked prison was created. Enveloped in a cloak of dark and the starry cosmos laid the two; Sera: An angel with forbidden contempt for existence, and Yugure: The Sword of Cray.

"I don't know if you want to hear what I have to say, but at least honor me with a fight. After all, I came all the way here for you anyways."

  When Cero reached Hana, he brought out his deck.  Once again, the first person he met in Japan was his greatest obstacle.  Fate had quite the sense of humour when it came to this.  "Hana!  It's time I repay the favour!  I'll wake you from your nightmare, and end Reverse here and now!"  As Cero shouted, a bolt of lightning shot up and struck the Gate.  This very well could be his final battle.  He had to go all out, even if it cost him his life.

Darren saw the figure moving towards him. He made it slow, as if Darren could not fight. He wasn't wrong. In his state, Darren could do nothing to protect himself. He figured this was the moment that scythe would cut him through and he would be reversed again, if not worse. It was a blade after all, and those kill on contact.

When he actually stopped, Darren looked up, his eyes wide as he realized what its attention was on. That was Hana, wasn't it? The voice was too familiar. Even as an enemy she was saving his butt. Something about it made him angry. For all he tried to do he still couldn't help situations like this, and now he had a foot in the grave and the only thing keeping the other foot out was her song.

Something filled Darren at that moment, not hate, rage or desire. It was a determination, a drive to fight with all he had left. If he couldn't do anything else, he at least wanted to punch this giant... clown as he was called, right in its jaw for all it had done until now. His pocket glowed as a unit answer his call. A large robotic fist came up and attacked, aiming directly at the distracted clown. The fist came from a blue arm. It wasn't Daikaiser. It was Ultimate Dimensional Robo, Great Daiyusha. The energy that came from his appearance was enough to made Darren yell out in pain and fall to his knees, but Daiyusha was still there all the same.

The Chosen Sword was more than infuriated with Sera's appearance. She longed for Haruka back, but a warrior who didn't believe in miracles happening by chance knew... She knew that simply defeating this menace wouldn't give her beloved back. Her eyes closed as the dark space encroached around, Gancelot made sure to return to her, while Raging Form stayed outside with Dragruler. Salome left to assist the resistance, and Ahmes took his place next to his friend.

"I..."

Seething rage again.

"... will simply kill you all."

Though Raging Form was taunted, and he apparently had more to say... Yugure simply responded with how she felt at the moment. That's all she could do beyond fight.

I Will Face Myself -Reincarnation- (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDr_krEQNrU)


The battle started, easily showing heat and hell that they were no match for what was going to happen in the star-locked prison. Sera took his opening turns easy, as did Yugure without much of a problem. A small critical sneaked it's way into a drive check causing Sera to lose his edge a bit early. But all hope was still alive. Both managed to get a grip on their Breakride units, one of which being....

His Avatar. Overlord, Haruka's connector to existence. The only chance he has of holding on anymore.

The battle raged on, Sera forced to hold off on an attack in order to keep Yugure from her Breakride turn. Things were turning and they were turning fast. Sera was on his last hope with three grade 3's in hand. Breakride without using its skill? No choice now. Sera had to make an entrance, despite his clear lack of strength still. His bodily form was deteriorated and the Reverse energy pouring in did nothing during Cardfights themselves. This was him at about 70%, working off of the chaos around him. Fighting in the host body also gave a slight power decrease in his ability to consistently obtain what he wants.

"Overlord... bathe in the flames of darkness, and birth yourself once more! Ride, MY Avatar, Dragonic Overlord, Za... Rebaasu!"

There he was. A magnificent, powerful creature enveloped in the Lock's embrace. Or rather, controlling the lock. This unit was different, far, far different than the other reversed ones in that, he was not captured by some silly Reverse. He demanded its power. Hetook it's power for his own. Overlord was in a state of complete frenzy, ready to tear apart whatever he came across with a restanding skill at the cost of locking five, count it, five rear guards, and one counterblast. As well as a minor drop of two cards, to equal out the card draw.

This didn't prove all too much in the final assault, however. Due to the lack of opposing front row rear guards, no Breakride skill would go online, relying on a single restand to get him through this. A critical trigger came his way, giving him some leeway but...

It failed to pull through, as Yukino....

Yu-Yukino?

She pulled through with a powerful defense! Not only that, but she managed to get a full Gancelot Crossbreakride! Gancelot Zenith, a holy knight who can call upon units from the top of the deck and increase their power severely. He was a force to be reckoned with. Despite getting perfect guarded, another knight was called.... one Overlord knew well.

Blaster Blade, Liberator. Ahmes came forth. Yukino called for him....

H-ar-....

And call for him....

Har-u.....

And called for him-

Haruka!

Ahmes' attack finished Rebirth off, sending Sera to six damage. A breaking, hot feeling invaded Sera's chest. A heartbeat. A yell. A warcry. The sound of a boy. An innocent whimper. The sound of every notable and lovable thing in Haruka's-Ser-Ha-S-

Haruka's mind began to wonder aimlessly in a world of white. The conscience of Sera had merged with Haruka's, however.... It left Haruka unable to convey his emotions accurately. Their voices overlapped. The sound of Haruka and Sera came to an awkward truancy of a brash boy breaking through and an evil dictator forcing it back down his throat.

"Yukino!"

Clenching his teeth, he finally opened his jaw.

"Yu-ki-no.."

Haruka and Sera spoke. Haruka was not dead... not really... However he was not of the same body. He was a merged living entity, taking control of the body at a time where Sera took it another. He reached out to her. Placing a hand on hers, as he collapsed to his knees. A gentle laugh.... And he was gone.

The time space distortion ripped Sera and Haruka to skyscraper, on command of Sera... he couldn't let her have him back. Not yet. There was still much to do.

Post by: Hope on October 05, 2015, 04:49:54 AM
Cero's lightning bolt which struck the gate was eaten up by the dark energy and reflected as a shot of black thunder, shooting into Hana's hand. From that, her deck appeared.

"Looks like Sera is going off to enjoy himself, it's best that I do enjoy myself in the meantime. Dealing with Screamo-kun wouldn't hurt." She stepped forward. "I'll accept your challenge, and reject all else."

With a smile, the space around them became enveloped in a gentle light. Feathers of beauty, masters of the curing spells. Gently... gently... they dragged Cero's Narukami into the deep dark void, destroying them one by one and turn per turn.

Cross-Break Ride.

When Clean-up Celestial, Ramiel "Reverse" descended upon the field, the gentle light turned into a negative dark power, as the Princess felt it, the power to lock. With Ramiel, she was able to clear away Vowing Sword, then soon after slash Descendant apart, but Cero didn't go down without a fight. He was able to restand and activate Descendant's limit break on two separate turns. Even with four attacks on his Vanguard column, he was unable to break through. The lightning shook the Earth, but Ramiel struck back, the area was further decimated.

"Clean up, complete." Hana teased him as Descendant was the only one left on his rearguard. His Vanguard now stood alone.

Ramiel attacked on her command and dealt a blow to Descendant, sending the dragon back to it's champion. Afterwards, she gathered the dark energy and hit Cero with a good dose of it, causing a burst which would push him back. "Now you can have your special prize for performing with me today..."

Cero was out, definitely not going to wake up anytime soon.

"Vermillion?.."

An image of the proud dragon protected him as he laid there, injured and asleep. The reverse energy was unable to penetrate through the dragon's protection, it's lightning redirecting all of the attempts.

"I see.." Hana smiled faintly, using her power to call the reverse energy back to her. "Looks like, he's just about done having fun too."

Hana's wings spread as she returned back to Sera to check on how his little experience went.

Darren saw that the two fights happening before him, or at least he wishes that he did. They were actually within barriers making it impossible to see, but when they faded it was clear to see two things. He saw that Yukino won and that Cero lost. He was happy for Yukino, wanting to call out to her but he was already holding his body in pain. The power that came from materializing a unit, even in this space in which it was possible for almost any cardfighter to do so, was just too much for his body to bare.

His time was up. He looked up at Daiyusha before what he knew would be his final moments before passing out and asked a simple question. "Why... why save me after everything? You... you...

The voice guiding you at that time was not mine... Daiyusha responded. Even now, are you unable to tell the difference?

Thinking about it, there was truth to it. Darren wouldn't know the difference before as it was the first unit he ever heard, but now... he knew that it couldn't be this hero who spoke to him. I was made into a voiceless puppet, but that doesn't mean I don't have to answer for allowing myself to fall into that state. Whatever it takes, I will protect you...

Darren was about to say something, but his eyes whited out. The pain was too much, his body needed rest. He couldn't fight it anymore, and he finally passed out.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Hoshiko Shopping Disctrict
Post by: Cherry on October 05, 2015, 05:44:08 AM
Once again, they faced off. Two of the most historical figures in Cray's history - two of those who led this generation as vanguards.

Ahmes and Overlord.

Though Ahmes was in golden trimming instead of his natural blue and white armory, that hidden blueness in his Royal Paladin days still shined for the duel of the colors that clashed over and over for eternity: Blue and Red.

Gold Paladin and Kagero fought a white-hot battle within the locked space. Though Liberators wanted to do everything in power to repel the phantom menace that was the Seed, Yugure led with absolute rage. Seeing Kagero didn't daunt her, and in fact, only served to further anger. Link Joker took almost everything from her, and they weren't done either. However, it wasn't the thought of not being harvested that drove the woman. No... Before her was still the body of her most cherished. The very sight of it signaled by her ferocious gaze that now was the time to strike back (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=watQgRTHDhs).

Refraining from bursting into screams, Alm and Fargo stared down one another. Marron and Gojo were next. Star Rain, followed by Gold Lancer proceeded to thrust themselves forward. Sera stated that her silence wasn't a good way to greet her loved ones. This thing wasn't Haruka, nor was it anyone else she loved. Nehalem and Bahr retaliated, taking out Gold Lancer. It only took the uprising of the fight's speed to make her change her mind.

Yugure didn't care that defeating Sera wouldn't realistically give Haruka back at this point. All she wanted was to have him back anyway.

Early in the game, Sera revealed an Overlord that baffled the paladins. The Black Ring was noticeable, but the sheer power the card emitting shook many of them. Was Dragon Empire's champion even Reversed...? That was the kind of force commanders of Link Joker gave off. This proved it: Sera was most definitely true leader of the Binding Forces. However, he could've been a footstool lackey for all the soldier cared. Gancelot appeared, taking the charge again with Exerado and Marron following behind. In response, the Seraphim summoned Haruka's avatar: the dragon whose apocalyptic flames purge everything... Dragonic Overlord. Seeing it sent a chill down everyone's spine. Now, in the hands of the invaders, its presence brought fear far greater than the beast instilled back in the days before the War of Liberation. Ahmes... was excited, however. Yes, of course he was. It's always the two of them, isn't it?

Taking the offensive, Kagero amassed a heavy assault on Gold Paladin. A number of things kept them together like glue. One major thing was definitely Gancelot, as he desired all along. Everyone followed his lead, playing safely as Sera didn't give Yugure her fourth damage. The woman had gotten an advantage with Criticals and Exerado having a large power stat that would've taken too much to stop. There were two precautions in not calling anyone next to Gancelot. One, she knew the power of Overlord's Break Ride firsthand, knowing her allies would be roasted had they stayed out there. Two, she would force him to give her the Limit Break damage. Most definitely... she and her buddy Gancelot would reach Haruka and Overlord. They had to reach her beloved and a warrior of Cray who lost his mind.

Overlord the Rebirth.

Dragonic Overlord, THE ĐŻe-birth. The massive superdragon Crossbreakride that was beyond measure in strength. Dread washed over Yugure's paladins, even the ones that couldn't bare witnesses to the spectacle. Literally everything was annihilated in its wake, the very earth beneath its feet dissolving from its immense being. What in the hell was this monstrosity?! This was completely different from The End... It no longer fought with allies, locking all of its own rearguards like any other Reverse unit would. However, the devastation of its skill struck true. Ten thousand more power, and even another Stand. A massive 33000 powered behemoth that they couldn't stop. Mark wasn't in sight. He was actually in the backlines, fearful for his life, understandably so. A Critical even came Sera's way for the first swing, pushing Yugure to five damage - more than she wanted. That wasn't the actual problem. The problem was Overlord now stood at 38000, two Criticals. Yugure had miraculously healed from the first hit, and still found herself daunted.

... She couldn't give up though. All the hell she's been through, the invaders won't keep pushing around humanity. That was why the girl stood as a warrior of both worlds - to see everyone survives. Not only that... but even if she was bringing back a lifeless corpse, Haruka would return to her. Hana would return, Overlord would return, Ashlei would return, every last person was coming back.

The Liberators threw themselves into the fray, choking back their dread. Even if they would die, they wouldn't allow hope to be lost. It was still a worthy two-to-pass gamble in which Yugure had dropped everything. Overlord the Rebirth kept its Twin Drive, making it twice as ferocious as The End in terms of raw might.

But it didn't reach.

All these feelings were taken in by the wings of the world's bond: Gancelot Zenith. Even then, it was a great stretch. Yugure had only Grade 3 units and a Trigger. So they bet everything on their ace. Epona appeared for a Trigger lane with Alwira to make a desperate push. It was thanks to them and Alm, however, that the Ace of Light would get his shot. His one single shot in the game. Zenith's Limit Break summoned Blaster Blade Liberator at enough power to prove somewhat an issue for a Crossride's power. No triggers arrived, so they pressed onward regardless. Gancelot struck again, and finally, Ahmes shot forth like a comet.

"Haruka!!" Yugure called out to, then everyone called out for Ahmes to land the finishing blow.

When the Seraphim's sixth damage check was confirmed to not be a heal, everything washed over Yugure as if a meteor collided with it. That was exaggerating, but the pain of this war was immense. For a moment, she thought she had whited out. Eyes opened only in a world of pure white (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngjeV4QglIw). An empty void... except them. When Yugure saw him... her mouth opened, but nothing came out. A sea of words wanted to flood forth, yet, silence. Then, the distorted cries of the Seraphim-Haruka argumentative fusion rang out. Her Haruka was alive...

He reached out.

She reached back.

After what felt like an eternity, the lovers had their hands joined together. Unable to hold his warmth before he vanished, the girl mouthed a phrase.

"I'm. Coming. For. You."

A threat to the Seraphim. A promise to Haruka.

The white space dropped, and Yugure was sent flying out onto the ground from the initial pain of the fight that came before the dream. Grunting in pain, the Chosen Sword lifted herself up a bit by her elbows.

Lips curled into a smile.

Well it all seemed to be coming to a close, which was good. Seifer was starting to wear out with all the fighting, having pulled back and panting. He saw Yukino and Sera square off... But couldn't see what happened, nor the result of the fight since there was something blocking him from doing so. He waited anxiously for the end of it. Even sitting down in the middle of a battle and just stared. That being said, he had Dragruler protecting him. He wanted to help Yukino, and yet, couldn't. There wasn't anything he could do now. So he just waited, watching. When the barrier opened back up... Sera was gone, or disappearing... And Yukino was alright. She seemed okay at the very least, though she seemed worse off than he was. Standing wearily nonetheless, he made his way over, waiting for her to make the first interaction, after what she'd been through it only seemed right to let her go first if she chose to.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District
Post by: Jello on October 05, 2015, 10:47:55 AM
He lay on the rooftop of the skyscraper he once stood on before his fight against Yukino. Haruka and Sera lay on the building in absolute silence, staring at the sky. The thing is, they're both too afraid to speak to each other.

One of them tried to destroy the people who the other one loved, whilst the other one died and just came back to life. Gripping the sides of his jeans, he clenched his teeth and kept quiet. Neither side wanted to break.

Haruka gave in first. Pushover.

"Why are you doing this? What happened to me? Why can't I remember anything, Sera please talk to me-"

"I did what I had to. I didn't want you involved in that anymore not after..."

"After what?"

More silence. If anyone saw this exchange of speech, everyone would think he's crazy for talking to himself. He is a strange in reality so that actually works fine.

"After I learned what it meant to be a human. To live like one. To know one's emotions. I wanted to keep you safe through all this. I didn't think you would.. Die. And then. Well."

...

"How did you come back?!"

The boy sat silently again. Haruka was going to try to convey death and coming back from it in a nutshell.

"It was a brief lapse of memory. If I was dead, I didn't know it. Felt like I was sleeping without dreaming of something. Coming back was... Someone was waking me up. I heard Yukino yell. I thought she was angry I overslept in bed again and then I realized."

Haruka recalled the fight. He was there towards the end, even when Ahmes attacked. That was Haruka taking all of it in. Due to the lapse of control, a white vortex imploded sucking the two inside of it, before suddenly dispersing and sending them away. Sera took the host body to a skyscraper, but Yukino didn't have that escape luxury and was blown away.

"You can't do this Sera..."

"Watch me."

"Stand down." They were pretty much immobile, unable to compromise on bodily control.

The arrival of the angel and her companion only seemed to rile up the army that Oshiru led, they not only began to chime in with her but they also charged even more intensely. Diablo saw behind him what everyone was going through Yukino and Cero both had their own struggles to deal with and he did not want this incoming army to be the reason for their downfall.

With a strong motion of his hand he drew his card, "ENOUGH!" he shouted, as the force from his draw sent practically the whole army spiraling away as they scattered.

With the card in his hand he brought out the Warrior engraved upon it, "Blade of Phantasm! Descend now and and reverberate,  I summon you Mordred Phantom!" he said, as Mordred appeared from the sky descending upon Freeze Ray stopping him in his tracks.

Now that the army and Freeze Ray were held back he was able to assess the situation better, what caught his attention was a figure that held an intimidating scythe, but he could notice a striking resemblance between him and someone he had fought before, "If you're looking for someone to torture then you'll have to get through me first." he said, as he faced the figure preparing for what might happen.

"Then so be it..." His aura exploded in ferocity as he raises his blade forward. He then rushes at the masked man. Running past other reverse fighter with his enhanced speed, leaping into the air as he brings his blade downward.

Post by: OverDrive on October 05, 2015, 11:29:07 AM
Diablo had awaited a response from the mysterious figure but instead heard behind him a more foreboding sound, as Hikaru the Underground King, tainted by the reverse like his generals, charged at Diablo from behind. He could hear the sound of his aura even tell that he had unleashed a weapon for this confrontation, so with a quick movement he turned around his dark blue aura beginning to appear from clearly as he held Blaster Dark in his hand and letting the knight pass his sword to him for this moment.

One would assume that he drew a card but it looked as if he drew a sword from his deck as he raised it and blocked Hikaru's attempt, "Hoh..The king himself comes after me, such an honor." he said as the two blades pushed at each other.

"..I expect more this time, after all if it was something like that Aoi general you had then I'm afraid this won't take too long, Your highness!" exclaimed Diablo, as he use his blade to push Hikaru backwards, the two wielding both of their blades and preparing for the other to move.

Though at the same time Diablo kept a clse watch of the figure behind him, he could not make out what he was doing bu the had to make sure that he kept him in check along with Hikaru, any wrong move could cause some damage to Darren or anyone else involved.

Hikaru adds more force in his attack as he pushes the blade forward in his pursuit. They were in a standstill as neither party refused to give in to the other. Hikaru then pushes Diablo as he back flips and sends an arc of pure energy towards him.

Freezeray on the other hand began to attack Mordred with intense rays of ice.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District
Post by: OverDrive on October 05, 2015, 12:27:00 PM
The masked fighter did not deny nor hide anything with his moves, Diablo was not even sure if this was Hikaru, but he concluded that if these generals from The regional Hall referred to him as their King then there has to be some connection. If the fighter spoke it would clarify more details but so far Diablo only is 80% sure...does he have a voice changer too?

"I did not want to believe it but...All the evidence seems to point that way...I wished it was not the case...but this fighter could indeed be Hikaru." he thought.

As the two broke away the standoff the masked fighter unleashed an arc of pure energy towards him, while at the same time Freeze Ray retaliated against Mordred. As Mordred and Diablo both lunged towards their opponent for an attack only one thing came in mind for Diablo to say as he waited for a reaction to his attack and his words, "Not enough...-Mordred deflects the ice with his blade and lunges at Freeze Ray-...this is hardly enough..-Diablo uses his blade to shake off the arc, causing it to dissipate-... to force my hand! -Diablo lunges with Dark's blade towards the fighter-..Ou-sama!" he shouted.

As the two blades clashed a Shockwave was released from the impact as the fighters almost mirrored the battle between their units.

Realizing how long this fight might end up taking, Hikaru relented on his assault against the masked man.

"Play time's over." His blade faded into clouds of darkness as he moved back. Freezeray Dragon turned into red motes as it returned to Hikaru's deck. He then summoned the fields on both sides and places his starter.

Diablo used the force from the strike to send himself into a safe range away from Hikaru, as his blade and Mordred dissapated and returned to his deck.

"....That voice...now it's done." he thought.

Pulling out his deck and readying his field Diablo prepared to face the King with everything he has, getting ready to deal with Link Joker once again.

"..We settle this now!" he said, placing his starter.

He gave up on the slums and strolled into this area of despair which was once a market. Noting the very aura that he had, Amon perched himself up on a nearby piece of rubble, noticing the beginning of a new battle. A Man in a mask clashes with the Underground King

"Wrath fights... After this bout, I will deal with the second sin, by that person's appearence, I believe that he is also a sin. No doubt, he looks exactly like 'Him'. Its Envy..." He spoke to himself as he began to watch

Sera wasn't looking well. Obviously.

Hana gathered the remnants of the time-space distortion and moved it upwards to the sky, near the gate. She looked at it closely.

It was reverse energy through and through, but for some reason, with her power, it still felt "heavier," as in her power was not able to carry it as well. Mixed in with it was another blind spot, rather it was energy made of light. She wasn't able to see it before, but that was the reason that time-space distortions were always a blur to her. They were composed of light and dark.

But what was the part of it that was composed of light if darkness is the reverse energy?

"A Space-time distortion..." Hana wondered, "This sure is hard without Minette... but The Rift?"

Then the silence and lack of activity of the Rift was this, preparing for an invasion. It was then that she also looked towards Sera who now had less energy to spare or at least, had less going around him due to his state. She was able to see a shape within him, composed of dark energy. The seed itself.

Then where is it that this seed came from? Where did the invaders come from? How was it so that there were no records of them in Cray's history?

Even the units themselves had energies composed of only darkness, if so, then that means the seed is only purely allowed to have the void energy. So the Rift is the part of it which is light?

The Rift created them?... no.

During the War of Liberation, Neu Edelweiss and Tsubasa Hayato were able to fight in a battle which was like a clash of titans, using versions of their ace units coming from different future timelines. Neu Edelweiss currently has an unevolved Messiah unit which if given enough time would be able to become the one that she used. Tsubasa's Mithril Ezel was a unit that knew how to break locks which were unknown of at the time all over Cray, so it could only have come from the future, and as things stand with Ezel at the moment, it may not even be this future, but another?... The Rift acts as a gate itself, it is then beyond space-time. That distortion that the seed is able to generate then make sense.

The existence of separate timelines come into play.

"So Vermillion's appearance...." She looked up at the black ring, the gate. It was then that she remembered that Cero climbed up the Cardfight Training Area in an attempt to reach it when he was reversed. He witnessed Neu's power, the power of stride, and with it, he was now attempting to replicate it to bring back Vermilion. If that was the case then...

No history throughout Cray's records... A seed made to only be composed to darkness, having the influence of the Rift... and a Rift that can bring things from other dimensions.

That was it. The Rift was the enemy, always is the enemy.

These invaders were never meant to exist.

Yugure coughed and groaned, summoning the Blaster Blade sword again to get on her feet. Gancelot rushed over and got off of his horse, and Salome came to assist. They helped her stand up.

"What happened?" The elven girl inquired. Gancelot had about a hundred ways to answer how they fought with an absolute monster and about how their vanguard has an even more personal reason to kill the invaders.

"Well..."

"Are you alright to keep going, Seifer...?" Yugure asked the boy nearby, seeing as this wasn't over yet.

"Invaders destroy and do what they do because it's what they do. It wouldn't be hard for the Rift to just simply pick them up and move them here. No command is needed, they would just continue to go about their business, continue to destroy." She shook her head. This was enough progress for now.

Hana took the space-time distortion, compressing it all into a small ball that was now at the palm of her hands. Looking down the skyscraper, she saw Yukino with her units. It was time to repay them back.

"Yukino." She disappeared flew down and a panel of darkness appeared before her. "Would you care to honor me with a fight?"

Darren began to stir and finally awakened. Time healed his wounds slightly though he still appeared as though he had been on the bad end of a blender. He looked up and he saw Yukino and Hana. Were they about to fight one another? He stood up slowly as his body continued to wobble. He wasn't anything like the others there but he wasn't dead. That was a good sign.

"Yukino, bring Hana back with a fight!" he called out to her, knowing her power enough to know that she had the ability to do so.

"This is all voluntary no need to worry about me." She began to laugh a little.

It really was, she was learning so much, but also the infection in her heart led her to have so much fun with what she was doing now. Her guilt was lifted and the feeling that she got here was like performing in a concert for her, it was exhilarating. Doki doki heart pumps from the doki doki destruction that she caused, plus Ramiel's new form looked so kawaii desu ne with all the black rings and stuff. Clean up time was lots of fun.

"It's moving us in the right direction, trust me." Rather than keeping all the ring leaders in the shadows, pushing this little meet up enabled both sides to meet each other, causing things to advance and the guessing games to end. "Anyways, how about that faito?"

"Voluntary?!" Yugure was awestruck by such a reckless choice. Hana willingly allowed herself to be infected? ... No, no no no no, absolutely not. No, she isn't standing for this. Moving them in the right direction?

"You call this moving in the right direction?"

The woman pointed out the chaos and destruction that left Hoshiko's Shopping District completely beyond recognition.

"... Sure, we'll fight."

Raging Form was too busy being a battle craving warmonger for the Revengers, so Gancelot was allowed the charge again. The little sister has clearly lost her mind, and Yugure wasn't going to see it continue if she was stepping in.

Seifer nodded to the question. He was still able to keep going, though she seemed worse for wear. Maybe the fight had taken more out of her than he thought? He tried to help the ivory haired woman to her feet, using his frame as a pillar, though she didn't really seem to need it? She was standing fully it seemed... Though... Now Hana showed up, and was reversed. Wait, what did he miss? When did this happen? She seemed like a seraph at the moment, but... Was more... like a fallen angel with all things considered. He opened his mouth to offer to fight in her place but... She'd... Already accepted the fight. He just hoped she knew what she was doing, and backed off a little bit.

The fight between Hikaru and Diablo was truly a sight to behold, it was as if Hikaru was manipulating the damage zone like the Angel Feather but at the same time utilizing Freeze Ray's lock skill, causing him to devastate Diablo's formation. The Masked fighter did not back down though he stood his ground showing no emotion under the mask, and with an assist of two criticals he was able to push the game in his favor, the rest unfolded with the illusion of darkness. Diablo's Ace unit took the field descending and pushing Freeze Ray to 5 damage with it's skill while having no rearguards to be locked, also Diablo's avatar Blaster Dark Revenger stood by his side ready to attack if necessary, but the phantasmal dragon ended the fight with his Phanatic Illusion.

With the fight ending Hikaru, let out a scream of pain, for a minute it looked as if Diablo was about to return to his other persona, but the reminder of the scythe wielding individual kept him on edge.

"...I'll get him out of here..once this is dealt with.." he thought, as he began to turn around, after collecting his cards.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now that the fight was over, Diablo turned around to see that the psyche bearing figure was still standing there in his usual state, something about him struck him as familiar, though no matter how hard he tried he could not pinpoint what he was looking for. He was however interested to know where on earth this figure come from, it was clear that it was reversed or rather emanating reverse energy but what was unclear was it's role in this are at this time.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" he asked, the voice modifier making his tone menacing as usual as he tried to get some info from the daunting figure.

Alex had decided to get off his behind at home and head out, the news of the town in riot, coupled with disturbing images of people he had seen before on the news causing the young man to rush out of his home. A common cold having kept him inside the days before but now it was time to take to the streets. Truthfully he had felt it in his gut, something was wrong with the lively city ever since he came back, and it seems now it was the time to find out.

Interestingly enough on the way out he had grabbed the wrong deck, having left his Daikaiser deck at home and instead having brought the gift from Haruka, Ethics Buster. Though this may have been some mishap of fate, sentient cards and all that mumbo jumbo. Though Daikaiser or not the terror that had taken the streets had made it unsafe either way. A giant army of shady people

For the moment he'd hide around, skulking nearby brokem rubble as he attempted to avoid most of the odd unresponsive groups of people that walked around as if zombies from some cheap horror flick. He was a bit curious but the word danger seemed to be branded within their very core, his base instincts only giving the order to stay away.

Though fate had a way of giving people the middle finger it seemed. His luckily stealthy travel having made him make his way to the center strip, though the image that lay before him almost made him scream out profanity. A giant gathering of the zombie types were all about the place, with a giant seven foot tall person in the middle of it all giving the aura of a dignified and yet brutal commander of who was not to be trifled with. He gulped, his eyes scanning a better place to hide as his sight caught the most odd thing. A person floating in the air with what could only be spoken as human sized wings, coupled with a dark ring that loomed over the entire area. To be fair he wasn't sure how he missed that one but then again he wasn't the most attentive person either.

For the moment, he'd be hidden around somewhere. Hoping to not be found though making his way towards the Diablo and Hikaru area by chance.

As this "war" raged on, and people were at eachother's throats the figure jus stood there, It's eyes still focused on Sera throughout his entire fight. The odd feeling was still there, and the figure was unsure what caused this kind of reaction to Sera.

When someone approached, It looked at him, a man in a trenchcoat and a mask as if he's posing for a super hero or a vigilante from comic books. The figure laughed a bit under It's nose, and stepped forward the man.

"Do you really think that it'd be so easy? Do you really expect me to just tell you such things only because you asked? That's not how this works."

The figure slowly walked towards Diablo, with the scythe drawn forward.

"Gancelot Zenith..."

The knight that taught her of the value of bonds, the value of her own sister to her now stood as her opponent. She wished to thank him, but her words wouldn't move through the filter that was the black ring. Her black wings spread as Ramiel Reverse descended as her Vanguard, the darkness intensifying and the flowing outwardly, taking over the calming light that the Angels usually bring alongside them.

Ramiel didn't speak much, but if anything all it did was tell Hana to keep moving onward, to wipe away everything so that no evil may exist. Everyone is a sinner, everyone must be decimated to nothing. How much of it was Hana led to believe? Her tainted heart forced her to move towards the goal, but her sane mind still resided deep within, letting her stay as an observer, unable to move. Her companion Nociel stood by her and defended her, making sure that she doesn't feel alone and that she keeps her sanity regardless of what happens.

The battle started out with Nociel and Blaster Blade on the Vanguard Circles going head to head.
The fight ended in the same manner.

With Gancelot Zenith's Limit Break as well as Alm's skill, Yukino would be able to Call Ahmes with hundred percent chance, powering up the knight and giving way to another attack. Hana wasn't going to let it pass. She guarded with all she had, and with the final attack being at an enormous amount of power, Nociel set up the defense. A perfect defense to be exact, as with her skill Hana was able to retrieve a perfect guard from her damage in exchange for a Sariel in hand.

"Thanks Nociel..." Hana muttered under her breath.
"No problem Bella-chan..." Nociel made it clear through her tone that she wasn't supporting her own actions as well, but it must be done.

After the assault, a battered and injured Ramiel stood, nearly broken apart, the black ring on her back almost faded away. But it was still there. Arabaki took a shot at Ahmes, then Ramiel charged at Gancelot Zenith her sharp blades slashing at his golden armor, following up with a blow of reverse energy, pushing him back.

Critical Trigger.
Napgal, a heal.
Another... but Yukino was unable to get it.

The power of the reverse surrounded the knight of bonds. "I'm not allowing Yukinee to get reversed... not here." Her body moved on it's own to do a separate course of action, still as brutal as the act of reversing the champion.  The small ball composed of the space-time distortion shot forward. Hana was reversing Yukino... but...

"Disappear.. Gancelot!"

Ramiel struck the Knight again, and moved aside. The space-time distortion twisted and a turned into a sharp lance, piercing the knight and exploding, consuming Gancelot and wiping him off the plane of Earth, sending him back to Cray. The explosion then formed back to a compressed spear in the same manner charged at Salome.

"You too.."

Explosions. Quite the light show happened. As the reverse energy began to crawl slowly towards Yukino to take her, Hana extended her arm and a strong force pushed her backwards. "Yukino isn't getting reversed on my watch.. though this may sting a little... gomenasai.."

Hana ascended and flew, overlooking the desolate war zone. "Now that those annoying knights are dealt with..."

"I believe that you will surely free me, my Knight."

The figure underestimated Diablo, it seemed to find amusement in his attempt to get answers, nevertheless his emotions were kept in check even under the mask he was neither intimidated nor moved in any way. He simply stood his ground, getting prepared for any sudden movements. The moment you hesitate or let any verbal or physical action get the best of you, that is when you have truly lost the battle, in this case it had begun with fear tactics.

"It can only be easy if you allow it to be, the choice is yours I don't wish to resort to force but if you push me to it I will, and when I do that scythe you hold so proudly will dissipate before your eyes." he said, revealing his deck within his hand, as he stared at the figure, the mask hiding his expression all the while.

Darren's eyes widened as he saw what happened. Yukino lost? Was she going to turn against them now too? No, it was worse than that. Hana was able to make her units disappear.

That was a dimension rift!

Having something like that here makes this even worse. How can she control it?

Darren gripped onto his deck from the floor, knowing that someone here had to stop Hana. He didn't see himself as stronger than Yukino, but it didn't change the fact that he was here and she needed to be stopped. Besides, he could't afford to lose here, not until he defeated the clown with the red blade. For all he did, he needed to pay.

The figure just stood there, looking at Diablo's hand, tilting It's head and then shrugging in disappoitment after setting the scythe down.

"And here I assumed you were actually serious.." It looked around, seeing the vast destruction and chaos all around them, then let out a sigh.

"Whatever, I'll humor you.", the figure pulled out It's own deck, as well as materializing a platform for both It and Diablo to use. "What a disappointment.." It whispered, before setting a face-down card on the Vanguard Circle.

Dragruler was a sight to behold as it dissappered from Hikaru's view and stabbed the cyber dragon from behind causing it to screech in agony. He noticed that the top card of his deck had floated to his damage zone. He was about to use his dragon's skill until he noticed that Diablo had no units on the field to lock. His eye's widen as he realized the critical error in his lose. Hikaru scrowled in his mask realizing that he had been beaten.

"No guard." That's all he said as the six damage landed on the red field as it disappeared. The reverse began to cover him as he let out a cry of frustrated anger and placed his hand over his heart.

"Don't you dare give out on me.." His mask began to dissolve into nothingness, his bluish raven hair sprouted out and his cold amber eyes came into view for the world to see. The metallic collar gave out and shattered into a million pieces and the organic suit began to break down as well. They faded as the reverse aura took over once again as he gave out a final cry.

"AHHHHHHH!" Red spiky sigils appeared under his eyes as he screamed. He then fell onto the ground as his cards floated down slowly. Hikaru can barely keep his eyes open at this point.

Hana had been infected by the parasite of Reverse, and this was likely Yugure's own fault. Truly, the princess corroded by evil thought this was helping them. While being a test subject of the virus provided information, chaos and destruction did not. The battered queen was going to ensure that was understood. The Liberators had been ready for this: the invaders making it into the Sanctuary. Ashlei was already gone, and now Ramiel was too. The black winged angel commanded forces with the intent to kill, her real mind lost like her Vanguard's.

A duel with Celestials ensued, however, Ahmes took note of Nociel still present. That was evidence enough that hope wasn't lost. These two Avatars we destined as the defining points of the game. Clashing on the Vanguard circles first.

Ramiel Reverse - the fallen angel - could not achieve it's Crossride power. However, Gancelot Zenith did. The issue was Gold Paladins vanishing into the Damage Zone from Ramiel's Limit Break. Still, just like before with Sera, Yugure and the Horseman of Bonds would not be daunted. Neither would Ahmes with Alm's ability. The one-hundred percent certainty of the Ace appearing was set. Zenith didn't reach, however, and Nociel had retrieve a Perfect Guard. They realized that Nociel had secured survival, getting that Perfect Guard to stop Ahmes' full power.

They still wouldn't give in. They're all stubborn as hell, and so was their queen.

Yugure began exerting herself, which wasn't easy given a lot of power went into facing off against Overlord the Rebirth. Ahmes dashed forth, but was shot by Arabaki. Zenith continued onward to strike down the injured Ramiel Reverse coming at him, despite his own wounds. Yet, the leading warrior was struck down by power of the void. A Critical Trigger appeared, but Napgal saw to it that Yugure would survive... the first damage. Spewing blood, the Chosen Sword couldn't summon a miracle due to having no energy left. The second damage was completely out of her control, and of course, it was not a second heal.

Gancelot, lying on the ground... and Yugure, struggling to stand were surrounded by the power of the invaders. They only heard maddening cackling, they had finally gotten one of the biggest thorns in their side in THEIR hands. The woman didn't curse this fact. It was the reality that she couldn't reach Hana yet. Always needing more power - always needing more to reach.

However, she had already given in to temptation before. This wouldn't be an reenactment. They wouldn't take her or they would only take a corpse.

Before able to take some form of countermeasure, Gancelot was hit by Ramiel. A distortion spear impaled Zenith, yet... he wasn't... Reversed?! The knight vanished from Earth, and Salome was subsequently stabbed with the reformed lance without getting to respond, disappearing in an explosion of energy as well. Yugure didn't follow, instead, she was blown back by Hana herself from the void. Nearly choking on more blood, the soldier was flung away again, but survived the invaders' grasp by the skin of her teeth.

Raging Form had returned to her side, thankfully having gone untouched from Celestials and Hana due to... fighting everything else that breathed in the area. Seeing the princess fly upward, the wounded queen sat up with the assistance of the wrath entity, gazing upon the Reversed angel.

She believes Yugure will free her? Of course she will. The woman was basically a Liberator in itself at this point - being one of those given the title to liberate the worlds from evil. What had to be done between the sisters was no different from that job.

Well, there was one difference.

The fact that this was personal.

Alfred saw his knights in the mental lobby of Yugure's mind, heavily wounded by the battle with Angel Feather. This... nightmare. Link Joker and Reverse reached the Sanctuary - everywhere on Cray was infested with the horror of the invasion. Gritting his teeth, he didn't wish to stand by and continue allowing this suffering. Yet, with Gancelot Zenith at a power even beyond his current own, could the King of Knights even rise to the occasion properly?

Don't you... give up... either.

This woman had been emotionally wrecked like a mindless rag doll, constantly thrown into the fray of danger when it wasn't necessary beyond this "title" of hers, and has bled more than one should for battles that took place in the form of cards on Earth. The ruler of the Sanctuary should be the one saying that, but she said it. Such an unbelievable thing to hear...

... Usually came from Ahmes too.

He looked at the injured Blaster Blade in awe, seeing how Yugure and him were... so much alike.

"Awaken, Star-vader, Dust Tail Unicorn." the figure declared, signaling that the fight has started.

"Demonic Claw Star-vader, Lanthanum. Demonic Bullet Star-vader, Neon", were the units called on It's very first turn and second turn of the fight. With this merciless strike accompanied by a critical trigger the damage zone turned into 0 to 3 in the Figure's favor. There was not a single reaction from It about it, just a sigh of disappointment.

The fight raged on, with the Figure having clear advantage. Both players rode their Breakride units, and a turn after that it was time. Revenger Dragruler Phantom from Diablo, whose Limit Break dealt unavoidable damage to the Figure. Something It didn't see before. But even with that, and a full field Diablo has only managed to deal 2 damage, putting the Figure to 4.

Just as it was planned.

"I've had enough of this card game." the figure exclaimed, grasping both It's scythe and a card in It's hand. The hazy presence that accompanied this mystery persona finally materialized in actual form. The form of a gigantic dragon surrounded by multiple black rings.

"Star-vader, Chaos Breaker Dragon!" was it's name, and upon it's arrival nearly all units Diablo had on the board became locked.  Then, the Battle Phase came, both the Figure and Chaos Breaker Dragon grasped a firm hold onto their weapon and moved it back, unleashing a mighty swing at Diablo himself, namely, his heart. The force of this swing alone caused a massive blast of wind that destroyed the ground behind the fighters.

It wasn't a strike to kill, but a strike to Reverse him to join the mindless army of zombies that have been going around. However, the strike was blocked by Diablo who used Blaster Dark's sword as a shield. But not even that was enough, the sword cracked a little bit and the swing's force finally got to Diablo, sending him flying like a torpedo into some building in the distance.

"I'm done here." the Figure whispered to itself as it looked around, everyone was leaving, Sera was gone, and that group of people that seemed to act like heroes got mostly defeated, there was no point in staying here.

It simply walked away, scythe in hand, once again accompanied by a hazy Chaos Breaker Dragon by It's side.


(Note: We both agreed that this would be the outcome of the fight, and Bluish asked me to describe Diablo blocking the strike and getting sent flying in my post.)

These two might as well have been stubborn brothers who just really don't wanna share the same toy. In this case, Haruka's body, despite it being Haruka's own body. Sera became very attached to it in the past few days, and now, they were bonded quite literally. Spiritually anyways. And now it was really bad because they've grown accustomed to each other's personalities.

Sera really likes romcoms. Haruka really likes wound licking. These two are going to have some words with each other when they finally get off of this roof. They came to an agreement that the only way to get off of this forsaken sky scraper would be to transmit their images to the bottom of the building and try to take turns walking. Haruka decided he would take the directional input of the body while Sera controlled the limb position. This was a one-man machine with two pilots.


Uh oh.

Arriving at the bottom of the building took only a few second of falling and then an instant image replacement to allow the spacetime distortion to keep them from completely taking impact. The body still didn't want to move very much, after several more minutes of bantering about why Matthew McConaughey isn't the worst actor ever, and why Haruka gets enjoyment woun-

That thought was erased by both of them at the same time. Must save face. Haruka was fighting an uphill war against himself at the moment. Standing up, the duo in a soloist body began to lightspeed dash across the field, but it was very clunky because Haruka had no idea why he was still moving so fast. Sera explained and took full control for just a moment, as if carrying Haruka's part of the responsibility, bridal style. To no avail, their senses' weren't cooperating, making it overly difficult to find who he was looking for. Sera refused to let him see Yukino, but anyone else would be okay. Why? Not sure, considering Yukino can't actually do anything about the current situation.

Well maybe the-

Haruka I swear to god you aren't a dog you don't have to be that way.

But-

No, now shut up and do what I tell you.

A good deal had been lost here...

This must have been painful to watch for Minette as well since United Sanctuary was his original home. He had told Hana of his days there, even his days along familiar names such as Akane who would chase him around as he was a high beast himself. "This was all for the sake of research," he said. They kept in under wraps, he had been going beyond what he was supposed as he wasn't even a real sage yet himself, just a student. Still, to be chosen a representative and as a companion to the Princess, he set out to what he could, and this was the plan that he hatched as the Sage's Egg. Not the best, not the most ethical, his science was quite gruesome actually. If the King knew about this then he would be sent back to his homeland and have an earful, even to the point where his university days would come to an end. Hana didn't blame Minette, as long as we watched and chronicled all this, so that her efforts wouldn't be in vain. If anything, she was hoping that his research him would help him become a Sage. He has a dream just like she did.

This pain... it truly hurt. Hurting others truly hurt most... especial those whom she knew. Her bleeding sister was beneath her, gazing up at her and she felt the gaze, as if the swords that would be in her eyes pierce her heart. Nothing came out of her heart but more malicious intent, the black nothingness coated it and spilled from it through and through.

"N-Nee-san." Hana's arms outstretched as chains of the void restricted any further action. She tried to scream out information about the seed and how to wear down the invaders, "The generals, we just have to defe-." The energy held onto her, and let her speak no further.

But...

"The seed's energy is composed of both light and darkness despite how the invaders are only given the void energy! The Rift brought the invaders here just like Neu Edelweiss preformed Stride with it! The were never meant to exist!" This wasn't direct information about the Seed nor it's weakness. The void energy didn't read it as an act of treason and therefore had no reason to restrict her. Still far-fetched, but it boiled down to two things.

The act didn't alert the seed of anything, the act wasn't one of treason against it as the seed did not recognize the Rift as an ally nor an existing force. The other was that the seed was never meant to be composed of a time-space time energy, otherwise it would have silenced Hana from saying so since revealing such a thing was part of its weakness.

Closer and closer to the truth. Better listen to what Minette also gathered later.



Oshiro pulled another one of his subordinates from under the rubble, this time by the forehead, and another by their torso. He was able to wrap his hand around their entire torso. He threw them onto a pile and a few cars came by. He personally threw the piles of bodies onto the cars and tied them onto the top like bags for a camping trip, his iron grip caused the rope to become a vice grip, holding the bodies in place.

His troop also got a pick up truck so that was easier, her just threw the bodies on there.

He himself had big smile on his face, watching the other side virtually fall apart. All of those whom opposed his force were decimated to near death and the blood excited him even more. When he looked around, he noticed that there were no more buildings to throw his victims in to so he decided that it was best to let the heroes recover so that he may throw them into buildings on a different occasion.

He looked over at Hikaru, the only one general that laid defeated among the troop. "HMPH. WEAKLING!" He entered his car and more were on their way for the rest of the army. After a short period of time, the convoy drove off, piles and piles of injured bodies on board.



Hana sat back on top of the skyscraper, "Thanks for coming today minna!" She gave a wave over to the crowd of reverse fighters as they departed. This also acted as a taunt to the fallen and bloodied fighters who were on the opposing side of her. "Looks like the invader's operation was a success..."

Wait ,where the heck is Sera?

"SERA!" She yelled out to him as if she were his mother and he was a child. "We have to go! Play time is over!"

Dragruler's descent, marked Diablo's last turn for this fight as the mysterious figure utilized the power of the new Link Joker unit, The Chaos Breaker Dragon, both in the reality and in the game, the fight was sadly unconcluded the tussle between the two beasts would've been an amazing sight to witness. As both units were beginning to materialize in reality. With a quick swing from both scythe,  a huge wind blast and Shockwave were created, which then revealed the situation, both Diablo were stopping the scythe with their blades, in this case with Diablo using Yunos's blade of determination.

"hhhaa..Tch" he grunted, as the Shockwave from the slash almost cracked the blade and sent Diablo flying towards the nearest building.

Mid-flight he saw what had become of Yukino and Hana's fight, but his focus was immediately shifted back to his current situation. Holding the blade he exclaimed, "..This blade holds determination,  it won't break this easily Chaos Breaker!"

With a quick move he positioned the blade to pierce the building he was headed towards, his plan worked. Removing the blade from it's now apparent crater the blade appeared fixed and fully repaired as if the strike had done so little.

He then descended from the building onto the ground,  first examining the area and noticing how, the figure had disappeared but his next concern was to help Yukino and Hikaru, so he immediately headed towards Yukino making sure that she will be in good care by those around her,"..Be careful.." he said lightly as he passed by.

He then carried Hikaru's body and gave a final look at his...his other persona's friends and then to the destruction that had happened, "...Are we really fighting to survive...or have things changed and we're fighting back...this is not the right result." With that Diablo disappeared taking Hikaru's body to the nearest Hospital.

Xat soon arrived at the shopping district and seen that it was destoryed. 'poor place.' She said as shirayuki started speacking to her . "Be careful there are reversed people here. Daiyusha told me that we need to go here and i wonder why? Shriayuki told her.

Xat nodded and using her skills she learned walked past people by using the shadows and sneaking around every corner. Eventually she saw someone lieing in a pool of blood, and after making sure no reversed fighters were around she went out to help the person. When she reached the person she picked up the person and threw there hand over her shoulder and dragged him into safety of the shadows. For once she was glad that her training was able to help outside of a mission.

Darren had heard everything that Hana said. A rift made of both light and of darkness? What did that mean? Create and destroy? That was what Daikaiser told him. He really didn't understand what it meant, but Hana gave information that he didn't have to in any way. Before he had time to think about it, his body was beginning to be dragged away.

He didn't want to leave, he needed to fight alongside his friends, but he couldn't actually move and they looked like they were pulling out. I guess their objective was complete. Many of his comrades had lost and even he couldn't fight any longer. Maybe it was best he was being pulled away.

She finally came. Its better it was after the carnage and confusion.

Seifer stood as close to the fight between Hana and Yukino as he could. Two people he called friends though, he couldn't really say that he'd spent much time with either of them. It was his fault though, he got busy with things and then all of this happened and everything went downhill. However, when the ivory haired woman lost... "Yukino!" he called out though... Something strange happened. She wasn't reversed, rather Hana stopped it from happening... Just banished the units away? In any case, the male made his way to Yukino's side looking up with her at Hana. It was a rather strange feeling seeing the idol like that and yet... ...This would end up being Yukino's battle and he couldn't interfere. He wanted to help however he could. But right now... Was he to weak to do anything? Those thoughts drifted around in his head as he placed a hand on the Kagero deck case that held the copy of Ahmes she had given him... and his currently broken Kagero deck. What he didn't notice... was one of the aforementioned cards that had no text... Slowly gained skill text.

This started to all become to much for the male with now crimson eyes, as he held the side of his head with his hand, still staring at the space Hana once inhabited. And then, when he thought it couldn't get any worse, he heard her voice ring out in the area... Almost taunting them it seemed. All of the reverse fighters in the area left, and the members of the resistance were battered and down... Except him. He really didn't play much of a role in this conflict... How could he? And that made him feel weak... Like he couldn't help anyone. Save anyone. ...It was with those thoughts... That the other blank card began changing as well, gaining skill text much like the one from before. But it was still something the brunette had yet to notice. Turning his attention from where he was staring he glanced around the chaos... Destroyed buildings... People injured... It was bad... "Nee-san... Are you going to be alright?..." he asked cautiously considering what had just happened...

Alexander blinked, having heard a familiar voice though he shook the thought about who it was from his mind. All he could do was try to focus on hiding for the moment, shifting around to avoid the droves of fighters with odd marks under their eyes. Sounds of explosive destruction heard all around, maybe sitting on his behind at home seemed like a good idea now.

For now he'd try to exit the area as soon as possible, hoping to not attract any attention in his escape into a more peaceful part of the city. That had to be somewhere, right? Though his thoughts wandered to Haruka, would he be okay in the hospital? Hastily he would pull out his phone, throwing a text to the known contacts that were vanguard fighters.The following message sent to Haruka, Neo, Tsubasa, and Seifer.

"Whats with the city? Where are you guys? Hiding in the shopping district and leaving it. Please tell me everyone else is seeing.... Everything. - Alexander, that guy that's never around."

And with that he'd shove his phone and turn back to focusing on escape.

A call from the Raven in no time got both Haruka and Sera's attention. Snapping at light speed to her side, he was already leaning against a wall several feet away from her, waiting for their departure.

Before saying anything he checked the buzzing on his cellphone. It was Alex, the one who stayed with Haruka in the hospital. On Haruka's face lie a vacant stare; Sera. Inside he was happy and glad that he was still safe and unharmed; Haruka.

"Things got messed up man, just head out asap -haru"

"Whenever you're ready princess- er, Hana."

That's awkward. Better coordinate their speech a bit better.

Here... You go, she knows you're here after all.

Fine.

"Speaking of which, how did you enjoy the event? To your liking I presume? Sorry Rebirth wasn't as much of a show as I would have hoped. It's hard when you aren't given as much as a Breakride target, you understand?" He chuckled, dancing over into Hana's view and giving a slight bow. He then stood up straight, feeling a burning hole in his pocket. Overlord was salty at that comment. Guess he was peeved that Gancelot didn't die either. What a tragic feeling, indeed.

As soon as they were hidden she began to bandage his wounds. 'man Darren what happen to you?' she asked to her self. She kept an eye on the other fighters, while shirayuki went to check on Daiyusha. "I guess we should stay until your bleeding stops then we can move." She told him not to sure if he was awake or not.

"Daiyusha are you ok?" Shirayuki asked once she reached the Demnsion Police place.

"Awkward, knock knock, is Haruka actually there then?"

She titled her head and inspected him closely, walking a bit past him and overlooking the other side of the city, then back to the one they were just part of.

"Overlord just needs more practice, plus... there really was nothing left for him to destroy." The area was dark, looking burnt and things that didn't crash and burn to the ground before were doing so now. The smell wasn't pleasant nor healthy either. Well, her lungs were nothing compared to the broken bones and other wounds that the other side suffered so that's a thing.

"Well you were kind of just... laying there for a bit which was weird. Needed a nap? Haha." She gave a laugh as her wings prepared for flight. "I'm heading back over to the Amusement Park, let's go?" Hana questioned as she flew off, heading back to her destination.

Darren signed lightly at her question, letting her tend to his wounds as he probably should have gotten done some time ago. He turned to her and said, "... A lot. I'll have to explain it later. What are you doing here?"

I called her here. Before I helped you, I had to call her here. You were too wounded to leave on your own.

Darren closed his eyes lightly and couldn't help but smile. He hated the hero for lying to him but it seemed the lie was deeper than he thought. Even with that, he went that far to see to his safety. Still, he couldn't trust the dark power within him.

"Guess I should be thanking you both for that then."

"I'm fine, Shirayuki... I am more concerned for him. You should take him to a nearby bed for rest."

Information. Information! Yugure got tidbits of intel about the invaders and how to whittle their forces greatly. Defeat the generals? That was an obvious war tactic, wasn't it? The "just" part of her statement, however, gave enough. Sera, Chaos Breaker, Nebula Lord, Infinite Zero, Freeze Ray... and Seifer. One of those had Satoshi for a Vanguard as well. Still, she couldn't let the invasion press on, and they were all going to come back to her anyway. She was going to make sure of it. Hana likely let herself be infected for the sake of their research's acceleration. While understanding the princess truly had no ill intent, and Gancelot having noted earlier they're just reckless, Yugure stopped applying logic. Instead, morals were put out. Hana should not have made herself subject to this, being ever so reckless, even if this was hypocritical of the Chosen Sword to think.

Maybe it was just the nonsensical, self-righteous elder sister Yukino Espoir thinking that. Perhaps it was simply a thought process that came to Yugure Espoir.

Gripping her head, the woman began standing with Raging Form's help. The dragon himself wanted to weep at such calamity. Though he was furious and battle-hungry, never did he desire destruction for the innocent as a Cosmos Dragon or an Abyss Dragon. Yugure didn't respond to the concerned Seifer. Instead, there was something that needed to be said.

"Now do you see this? Now do you all understand what just transpired?!" The War General shouted, her voice booming throughout the ruined land. "Link Joker will kill us all or harvest us via Reverse. I took this seriously for a reason, and now you see it! The absolute destructive power of the invaders, and how they distort our hearts! How they'll bring ruin to both Earth and Cray! The only mercy we will get is the slivers of humanity still left in those harvested, and that is not because of chance, nor fate! It is because those people under a spell are resisting! Those turned against us, still fight with us, or lose themselves entirely. For the former, if they're still fighting, why should we not be?!"

This was a turning point for the Resistance.

As if synchronized with the King of Knights, two different speeches were delivered. One to Earth through the Chosen Sword, and one to Cray through the Sanctuary's ruler.

"We will push them out! Today, we learned how powerful they are! Even so, we will not falter! Those who have fallen, those who are being harvested, we'll not let anyone's deaths be in vain, and we'll take back everything that belongs to us! Raise your arms, and stand up! Those who will fight with me will be heroes that take it all back (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgBJeJ3-MWM)!!"

That part was given by them both, rallying allies, bolstering morale that had just dropped severely, and giving words they can to bring everyone a form of hope. Preaching to give faith was not their intention, no. What was said was a promise.

Xat let out a sigh before picking him up again.  "Don't thank me, we not out of the woods yet." She told him as Shirayuki reappeard in front of them telling them directions to the nearest place before leaving.

The reaction or rather... Non-reaction that Yukino just had. It awed Seifer for a moment. He listened intently to the speech... The parts that he could hear and started to think... Feel something he shouldn't. ...No matter what happened with him, he was still one of the invading Generals. Even if he was unreversed now, what would stop him from being reversed later? That thought terrified him. It bored itself so far into his mind that he started to grow paranoid... ...A thought occurred to him as he stumbled through his own mind, trying to process it all... and drowning out the rest of the speech for him. The crimson eyed male glanced down before shutting his eyes and removing the deck cases from his hip, quietly placing them on the ground before turning and walking away, making sure no one saw him leave, or tried to anyone. He was just walking away in the middle of everything. But this was the choice he made. He'd already made people suffer, and probably hurt Tsubasa and Yukino with how he acted in the space of his mind that night. He didn't want to do that anymore... So he resolved himself to put away his blade, and hopefully... Just maybe... Get rid of any chances for the reverse to take him over once more. With that thought in mind, he left the destroyed battlefield without a word. Anyone could take him leaving how they wanted. But in his mind... This was his way to protect those he cared about after hurting them once before already...

....Her voice rang throughout the destroyed alleyway. Haruka stopped cold, but Sera took the full opportunity.

"I'll catch up Hana." Sera crossed his arms, stepping atop a pile of rubble. Staring down at the remaining debris that exists within the afflicted lands. Everything had been torn apart for the sole purpose of conquest. This was reverse land now, and there was nothing to stop its spread at this point. Even Haruka had accepted that reverse was slowly creeping altogether over the world, seeping into the soil of the very Earth that bore life.

Sera grinned. A wry sickening grin as he rose his face in the direction of Yukino. He said nothing to her. He could have yelled to the soldier. He could have said horrible things. But the best message to send was that he was still large and in charge, and not even Haruka, not even Overlord, could stop this from happening. The world was his to conquer under the realm of the Star-Vaders.

"Come and take it then." He snapped, image transmitting from the field leaving those words to travel through the wind, all the way to soldiers who managed to survive. This was far from over in Sera's eyes. He had much to do... much to do... The stars stretched so far and shone so brightly on a war waged tonight. Fitting.

Darren heard the speech and knew that she was right. They had to be able to stop these Reversed. That rift was a problem as well. What were they suppose to do about it? If it was open, couldn't they just come back later? It was a lot to think about, but it really didn't matter in the end. If they fought and won that would be enough. That was the end of it all.

Darren saw deck cases flying, turning to see Seifer. Was he walking away? Giving up? He wanted nothing more than to grab that man and tell him how he couldn't do that, but that wasn't really possible now. He needs some time. Not everyone is prepared for a battle like this. Don't be pushy about it.

He tried to stand again now that he was bandaged. His weak and nearly broken body couldn't fight. He needed time to recover. After that, he would do all he could. For now, he was in Xat's care. Everyone else would be busy planning for the counter attack. "There's a place not far if you really wanna go there. Closer than my apartment is. Also less riddled with Reverse Fighters."

Yukino: AF+2
Cero: AF+1

Yugure saw Sera, and didn't speak to him. The message conveyed within that white void was all she'd ever need to say to him again. Bladed eyes filled with hate and fury glared back, only giving Haruka warmth through the fact that she was going to kill everything that took him away. Raging Form vanished, seeing as his Vanguard could stand on her one, and once again expressed gratitude for being allowed to serve. Looking to the side, Seifer was gone. The two deck cases left behind gave her a good idea of what must've gone on in his head. The woman picked them up, and looked at them.

Seifer had been dubbed a General. He was one of those she was supposed to strike down and slaughter. ... And by mistake, she did that yesterday. However, Seifer had become one of her precious loved ones in a short amount of time, meaning he, too, was to be taken back.

The Chosen Sword and the King of Knights practically stood back-to-back, gazing up into the dark, cloudy skies of their homes. Resolution held firm, seeing to it that suffering would end.

The queen departed, seeing there was work to be done.

  Cero awoke, snapping upright.  He looked around the area, seeing it to have been completely obliterated and abandoned.  Gasping for breath, Cero used his one good arm to assist him in standing up.  There wasn't time to go to a hospital, he had to fight off Reverse...  Severely injured, Cero limped towards the Training Facility in hopes of meeting with someone who had information about where the others had gone.

Hana sat on a few stacked bricks and began her work.

The black ring still loomed over the area from the day prior, the area was empty for he most part. A clean up crew was sent during the day time and the amount of news coverage was plenty. It died down as the sun disappeared and darkness rose over the area. She was humming to herself as she moved her hands in calculated positions, making each push and pull count as if they were limited. Her hands were stained in black and gray, likely from carrying around the burnt debris. With a few more swipes of her hand, the formation begin to take it's shape. Since the Princess forgot to bring a supply of water for this project, she opted to use reverse energy as a form of glue to hold her piece of work together. In the eyes of the creator, this was worth it.

Architecture was still in its golden age. It began a year ago and it was certainly far from ending. The reversed Princess stood up from her throne of stacked bricks and took herself onto a better angle of her masterpiece.

"This is... "
"...A waste of time." Nociel jokingly finished her statement for her.

Hana made a sand castle out of the remnants of the structures which she destroyed herself.

Hazama walked through the shopping district clearly showing his marking of being reversed. Some people cam up to him and opposed his actions. Whileothers stood by and watched the seen go down and eventually left from fear.

"Gunner, finish them," he commanded them as they fell on the ground as well as their non healed sixth damage. "Fall into darkness and experience the joyful pain. Lock." After watching all of his opponnets get reversed right before his eyes, he continued to move on. As he was walking away, he commanded all the reversed fighter to go and find a guy in black wings and reverse him. After that he held Gunner in his hands and thought to himself, Gunner. Link Joker. You guys are my family, and I want you all to remember that. I love you all to the bottom of my heart. And this is coming from truly myself, not the reversed person in battle. He clenched his deck tighter in his hands and whispered to himself, "I never... want to leave you." With that he kept waking, reversing some fighters here and there, and growing an even tighter bond between him and his beloved clan. He kept on walking.

The shopping district was totally destroyed so there is no "shopping district." No one aside from a few bits of clean up crew as well as the media coverage have any reason to be here, (both of which having done their job and left yesterday). This area is completely closed from the public and left abandoned from the time beyond that.

tl:dr

This place has no people in it.
