(GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District

[Nobody]

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 woundering around for a while yuzuki thought "no point just staying here"

[Kaze Natsume]

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.

Coming out of an elevator Hikaru Precedes to the food court. After losing to the chosen sword a few nights ago he had wanted to fight her once again. She is the only fighter to make him nervous and make his blood boil out of excitement. He decided to take a break as the underground King to found other fighters like her.

[Beryl]

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?...

[Azuki Frappé]

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.

[Jello]

"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.

[Nobody]

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.

[Hope]

"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.

[NeoBuster]

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.

[Cherry]

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.

[Crystalia]

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. 

[NeoBuster]

"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"

[Cherry]

"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.

[NeoBuster]

"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.
