(GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District

[Azuki Frappé]

"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.

"Im guessing thats our ride?" Neo asked. He pretty much knew Ighanna was a crazy person at this point. But a ride was something he couldnt pass up. I decided to take out the paper with the directions Tsubasa gave me to his house and handed them to Ighanna. "Ill re-group at Tsubasa house and continue my journey in the morning" Neo said to himself.

[Hope]

Mi-hime seems to have been using her nicknames. She found that to be really kawaii desu ne~
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.

[Cherry]

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.

[NeoBuster]

Seeing Hana come out the store and have bought dog food for me, I started to daydream... "I never thought I would ever have met friends like these and even smile again..." Neo said. Neo took some of the dog food while shedding tears and replied  "Thank you Hana, its actually not that bad" Neo started walking to the limo wiping his tears away so no one asks any questions about it.

[Cherry]

"Oh... wow", Yugure stopped laughing. He... actually ate it.

This was a new level of respect he just got from her. Whether his dignity was intact or not was another thing entirely.

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. As always, Iguana-chan was offering free rides. Poor driver-san.

[NeoBuster]

Filled with crazy emotions, Neo waited for Ighanna to drop him off at Tsubasa's house so he could get some sleep. "Today was long and eventful, tomorrow a new day dawns"

[Azuki Frappé]

He actually ate dog food, Ighanna thought twice for that. What a brave man, even though Ighanna's name might sound like an animal, she doesn't eat pet food. Poor Neo. I hope he rests well once Ighanna sends him home.

Affinity +2 to Neo Isamu

[Crystalia]

Well, he certainly seemed to be an interesting person to say the least. I mean actually eating dog food? Maybe he actually was a type of dog.

She also wasn't going to comment on Ighanna's driver, the poor guy seemed to have no idea what he'd gotten himself into. Well I suppose when you drive around someone like Ighanna, you should be used to dealing with stuff like this. Mentally, she added 'driver' onto the list of hard and underrated jobs, next to 'footstool'.

"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.

[Azuki Frappé]

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.

[Kisaragi Zane]

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.
