(GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area

[Cherry]

A nervous giggle. "Yeah... I don't mind, I agree...", but it's not like she can just drop the name. Not as long as Blaster Blade had something to say about it. Yukino placed one of her hands under the other's palm, swaying a little bit to the sides as the girls conversed. An interesting tidbit to hear was that Dalis could only hold conversations with one unit. I can't judge Satoshi's ability, but it might be more limited than mine and Hana's like this woman's... so only we can speak with our entire clan...?

Honestly, after meeting all these people with the same ability, she suddenly understood jack-squat. Figured there were more people to meet like this even.

"I suppose this fits you as a performer, you have to be able to communicate with everyone on stage after all", Yukino rationalized. At least she could say she can talk to her cards too, Dalis wouldn't call the queen a nutjob like everyone else did.

"Pardon my... shock a moment ago, and how a bit unnerved I am... I can speak with my units as well, and you're not the first person beyond my sister I've met with the same power..."

Yukino noted that everyone who could communicate with Cray were strong fighters. This drowned out her anxiety with some excitement, what if Dalis was strong too? Oho, this could be fun. Though, Hikari wanted to ease more into it. A surprising lack of aggression she usually gives to everyone else was gifted upon Dalis.

[shirii]

"Ha! Of course. What a brilliant way to think of it." Dalis agreed, nodding her head slightly. "I know nothing about you, so I can't really say anything." Dalis stated, quickly stowing the card away. "All I can say is it told me to come over here, and then I decided to talk to you. If there are others who can do things like us, fine. Sounds fun. And you seem like you want to ask me something. So, what is it?"

She brushed her hair away, twirling the purple strands at the fine tips of it idly in her fingers. She surveyed the woman who was obviously on edge, shocked by something but not letting it out.

[Jello]

After Haruka returned his deck back to Itou, he found himself wandering. He checked back at the park, but the pervert in the bushes had already disappeared. Or at the very least, Haruka was unable to discern his location. Instead, he ended up daydreaming and found himself surrounded by cinder blocks and iron bars. "Hmm. Probably doing construction here."

What did you think?

"Shut up." That voice again. Haruka keeps hearing him. It's definitely a him because of his voice. However the voice does not match the words. It sounds grand, and ominous. Powerful even. Yet everything he says is snarky, condescending, or just downright pessimistic.

"Who are you anyways?"

Your true avatar.

"Daiyusha? Why would I be hearing you talk to me?"

Guess again. I'm your avatar from a future not too far from now. Believe in me. I'll guide you. Now hide.

"W-Wait what?" As Haruka says that, he notices two people talking about what sounds like spirits or something. He ducks down behind a wall near some iron bars. He crouches carefully as to not make any sudden noises.

[Cherry]

Hikari plucked out her deck, taking a single card from it. The woman held it between two fingers, showing off Blaster Blade to Dalis.

"Feel honored, I present you with the privilege of getting to know me", her royal pain demeanor returned from being dormant all day. Lips curled into a confident smirk, she pointed the card toward the performer. "I'd like to fight you. You seem worth my time, and if you are, that means you're strong. I like strong people", she sneered. That was... sort of a compliment coming from the queen, considering that she just called Dalis strong without even knowing her actual skill.

You know, the Royals sort of missed not having this ego all morning.

Having walked a bit away from the residential area, Satoshi found himself at the grounds for a new part of the city currently under construction. He noticed Yukino, once again, with the younger girl he saw her talking to before in the shopping district and another girl he didn't recognize. Shoot, that girl was everywhere. Maybe it had something to do with that whole "being chosen" thing?

He walked up steadily, being careful not to get his new suit dirty. After all, he had to make these clothes work for a while until he found some way to make some more money...

"Miss Yuki!"

[Jello]

"More people?" Haruka whispered. He looked over the edge to see a man in a suit, and what he believed to be two women. One was holding out a card. "What's that?"

Blaster Blade.

"I think I've seen that card before. Against Itou, right?"

Right. Now listen closely. You might find some answers you're looking for.

"U-Uh, okay." Haruka tunes his ears to the conversation.

[shirii]

"You want to fight? Sure!" Dalis exclaimed, giggling highly. "I won't go down easy though!" Her head tilted, her smile widening. She was unphased by the confidence, the ego that surrounded Hikari. She brought her deck out, flashing her Crimson Beast Tamer.

"Let's have a great performance!" Dalis proclaims happily.

[Lance Korilum]

  After learning who the owner of the construction site was from the workers, Cero left to the home of the owner, having received directions and not needing a map this time.  Without even bothering to knock, he barged into the home, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I, Cero Kirguis, Europe's King of Vanguard, am here to obtain the deed to the construction site you own!"  Obviously, this intrusion was not taken kindly by the owner, who nearly attempted to arrest Cero.  However, some 'heated discussion,' Cero managed to convince the man to sell the deed for a...  Less than reasonable price for Cero, due to his rude interruption and mannerisms. 

  Immediately after receiving the deed, Cero returned to the construction site to explain to the workers what he needed them to build, shouting at them for no real reason as per usual.  With his plans for the building now set into motion, Cero turned away to get back to what he was doing previously, only to notice a cardfight currently in progress between Hikari and a woman he didn't recognize.  Against his better judgement, he figured he would stay and watch the fight to see if this unknown woman would be a challenge for him.

[Cherry]

Though she heard Satoshi's voice, the queen was far too enticed by the onset of a fight to respond.

... However, she did note that his country accent was gone.

Luck wasn't on Dalis' side. Unfortunately, neither was mercy. Hikari swiftly razed through Cray's circus with a perfect set up. Alfred, Akane, Palamedes, Lien, and even a spare Soul Saver without Pongal answered her call. Blaster Blade was on the board to watch the last instance of the fight. Flipping her hair with a triumphant motion of her head, game was declared. "Good game" came from her mouth, admitting that she wasn't disappointed in the slightest, even with the bad luck.

Hikari smiled down at her Royals, rather proud of them, and she could see them all beaming back in her mind. The Paladins gave Pale Moon its props, their multiple attack waves, along with the ability to summon boosters for units that can't hit on their own... A bit worrying over the fact that they were from Dark Zone, but in the hands of Dalis, Alfred himself was at ease. Blaster Blade too was at ease with her choice of Avatar.

"You manipulate your clan's strengths well", commending the performer was Yukino's way of thanking her for the pleasure of a heated exchange.

Dalis +1 Affinity

[shirii]

"Haha! Oh man, that was a close one. If I just had 10000 more shield." Dalis mused, laughing heartily despite it all. "Don't worry though. I'll fix a few new things then come right back at you! Stronger, too." She flicked her hair, laughter escaping her mouth far too often. A close fight, one riveting and eventful. Looking back at it, it was one of the best fights she had done.

She packed away the deck, keeping Crimson Beast Tamer hid underneath her sleeve as she always did. A fun party trick, truth be told. She held her hand out to Hikari, keeping eye contact and smiling brightly. "Let's fight again some time, mmkay?"

[Jello]

"Huh. That was pretty cool." Haruka spoke out loud by accident. His eyes darted around to make sure he wasn't noticed. Instead of running, he ducks back down and tries to hide against the half-built wall.

"Heh, uh, what now?"

Well. You can talk to them.

"... Plan B?"

And you want to save people? That is a pathetic mindset to have if you can't even talk to some people.

Haruka clenches his teeth and gulps. The voice isn't wrong. Haruka knows if he can't just normally go up to people he won't be able to save people in slightest. But before Haruka could regain the courage to go up to them, the fight ends.

"Maybe now isn't a good time-"

Pa-the-tic.

The voice was not going to sugarcoat Haruka's indecisiveness.

"Okay, fine." Haruka stands up and looks at the fighters, before stepping climbing over the wall. "Here goes nothing," Haruka whispered to himself. Hands in pockets, scarf waving behind him, he took a step forward.

[Cherry]

But of course, shaking her hand was the least Hikari wanted to do as thanks. Taking the woman's hand, Yukino spoke: "Yes, we must! I want to see more of your tricks, and I want to see how resourceful your clan can be. You store your plays in a soul, which is a tactic I've never seen."

Thinking on it, this was the happiest Hikari had looked in three days to someone who isn't Hana or Miyuki. She didn't even notice the boy in the bushes, or what Satoshi could be doing now.

[Jello]

Before Haruka can approach the two women, he notices a rather large man also watching the fight.

"Who is that?" Haruka whispered.

Europe's King of Vanguard. Were you listening to him yelling earlier? It was kind of hard not to..

Haruka breaks into a small giggle before realizing that he could be seen now. "Should we talk to him?"

What, too afraid to talk to women? Pathet-

"Shut uuuup!" Haruka yelled, childishly. "Uh-" Haruka had just realized the mistake he made by yelling into thin air. A cold sweat broke across his brow. The disgruntled expression that masked Haruka's face turned to one of guilt and embarrassment.

Look what you've gone and done.

[shirii]

"You'll be the first to see the newest tricks." Dalis mused, smirking at Hikari. The girl was beaming, buzzing with joy or some other emotion she was barely keeping in check. She opened her mouth to reply, but upon seeing two new arrivals, her eyebrows raised.

Her eyes stared at the boy who had came from the bushes. "You know, perving on girls from the bushes really isn't good for a first impression...?" She said hopelessly, shaking her head. "Who are you? What's up?"

[Beryl]

"Miss Yuki, I wanted to ask you about---"

Satoshi couldn't finish before hearing the shouting and yelling of some man with an accent. The hell was he doing? He looked in his direction.

"Pardon me, could you keep it down? I'm trying to learn about something important here."
