(GS3) Field: Rijuku Park

[Skyzlimitz]

Sky was walking through the park raking leaves. He was distracted thinking about the man he met yesterday and the fight they had. Part of him felt guilty because he thought he might've gone a little too far with what he said, but another part of him felt as if he needed to say what he did, he felt that he couldn't just sit there and lest someone disrespect him in a cardfight when he was giving his all. Sky then decided to just forget about the incident and hoped he wouldn't run into Seifer for a while. It was then Sky saw a bot standing around staring at the sky with chocalate ice cream in his hand. The boy seemed to not be interested in the cone so Sky said. "You know if you don't eat that pretty soon it'll melt."

After the events of the previous day, Seifer had remained behind for a while longer mostly just so he could wash his own stuff. Today though he was walking along the paths of the park, both of his hands shoved into his pants pockets. He'd told Rosalia everything that had happened that previous year, the events that transpired in New York before going to bed without waiting for her reply. He wasn't sure she'd believed him or not, but he did tell her. This morning he'd just left a note for her that he was going to the park this time and gave an address for it before leaving. He needed to clear his head since his nightmares came back. His face obviously showed signs of distress and being tired, though it had nothing to do with the guy from the previous day. It was just his own feelings of loss and the feelings the nightmare pushed into his heart. Sighing as he stopped at the edge of water, he looked out over it, staring quietly.

[Jello]

Quite literally, Haruka jumped from his current position on the park bench, about four feet backwards over the bench dropping both ice creams in the grass. He was a really easily frightened one. A fragile creature, if you will.

"H-Ha.... Hi there." Haruka sits up brushing leaves and grass out of his hair once... just like yesterday. Except this guy wasn't trying to get too close to Haruka like Hana did. He was just making a statement, and yet, the same results. Maybe there was a really thin barrier you could cross before you scared the daylights out of the poor boy.

Standing up and dusting the last bits of foliage off his pants, he looks over at the guy.

"Hm? Yeah, it probably was going to melt..." Haruka stared at the ice cream now in the grass. He frowned a little, but the loss of the ice cream would pass. It always passed. Haruka was more than a bit startled earlier, but the calm sincerity had returned to his face.

"Well, I guess now I can't eat it even if it does melt, hehe.." Haruka forced a small laugh, trying to ease any tension that whole situation might have provoked.

[Skyzlimitz]

"Haha I guess you're right." Sky said secretly dissapointed that his plan to get the boy to give him the ice cream had failed. "That was quite the fall though, sorry if I startled you. You alright there uhhhhhhhh..." Sky said sticking out his hand waiting for a name.

[Nobody]

And here he was once again, taking a stroll through the park. Then again, he couldn't help it really, it's the only way to his house. That is, unless he wants to take the longer way through, but why would he?

As he passed he noticed that someone seemed to jump up, startled by something. Could it be? A murder scene that he could witness and go to a court as a witness? Oh boy, oh boy. That seemed like a really cool thing to do, atleast for Shiki. But no, it was just Haruka being surprised by someone. Or so it seemed.

Shiki's day was uneventful as always. So why not go meet up with Haruka, he thought. As he walked up to him he noticed another person next to him. Someone he didn't really know but then again, who did he know in the first place? He waved to both of them, greeted them individually and sat next to Haruka without waiting for any premission to, really.

[Jello]

Being helped up by the guy, he felt obligated to at least share his name. "I'm Haruka Nakahara, and you?" He gave a gentle smile as normal, then returned to an awkward vacant expression as he sat back down on the park bench. And so did someone he finally recognized.

Haruka saw Shiki, waved back and took note of the area for a moment.

People he knew and didn't know but were talking to him were approaching at rapid speeds. This guy who scared him first, then Shiki, and Haruka saw Seifer off staring at water. Weird.

Wait no, that's not fair though. Haruka stares at the sky for like, at least twenty minutes a day every day on average, so it couldn't be weird to stare at the water for a bit. Maybe it was the same thing he had, like an anxiety factor. Despite it all, he felt bad leaving Seifer to his devices. He cupped his hands around his mouth, stood on the park bench and called out, "Seeeeeeiiiiffeeeeeeerrrrr!!!"

Sitting back down, Haruka nodded to Shiki and shrugged, then promptly apologized for dropping the chocolate ice cream. He was going to give it up, he swears! But, alas, he had the ability to sit still of a five year old.

[Skyzlimitz]

As Sky helped the boy up he noticed another person come and sit next to the boy. "Well you certainly seem popular my name's Sky. Sky Carter, just your everyday park maintenance worker haha." It was at this point the boy who fell seemed to take notice of someone "Seifer" he suddenly called. Sky remmebered this name clearly. It was the man who he ran into and fought yesterday. Sky spun around and saw the guy was really there staring into the lake. Befor he took notice of the one calling him Sky quickly darted off. "Well it was nice meeting you Haruka, and i'll get your name some other time" he quickly said to the other boy before running behind a nearby tree.

Haruka +1 AP

[Cipher Izanagi]

Hearing his name called, Seifer turned around. Huh, it was Haruka. He wasn't used to him calling out but he suppose it didn't matter. It was odd though, he thought he'd seen some movement nearby Haruka. Was he just imagining things? Oh well. Walking over he waved to Haruka, and the other person who he'd never seen before. "Hey there Haruka. Didn't see you there. What's up? And who's your friend here?" he asked, his voice sounding tired and maybe slightly stressed. Otherwise though he seemed completely normal.

"Wow... the park is so beautiful on this nice autumn day..." Noel says quietly to herself as she stops to admire the scenery. She then holds her long, black hair with her right hand as a nice gentle breeze presses against her.

I'm glad... I'm glad I can finally move on my own... back home... it was nothing but indoors and lots of books to read. I never went to a public school so I am excited about going to one. Home schooling was boring and my tutors weren't very bright Noel thought and sighed as she remembered how life back at home was. She kept on walking down the path and noticed a group of people gathered. She recognized one of them.

"I wouldn't waste your time, he's no real fighter."

It was the fighter she saw yesterday at the cleaners with someone else she has never seen before obviously. As Noel walked a bit more, she saw someone staring at the water with a horrible expression in his face like if he lacked sleep and under a lot of pressure. Noel just stopped and stared because somewhere she knew, she found her half-brother Seifer

[Jello]

More.

People.

Oh god.

Haruka almost desperately wanted to escape the situation, but found himself cornered on all sides. Or so he felt. Nothing was wrong, these people probably weren't going to hurt him. In fact he wouldn't be surprised if Shiki was more worried than he himself was, considering they're obvious awkward nature. After a moment, Haruka nodded to Seifer, greeting him and showing him to the group.

"This is Shiki," Haruka said, pointing to him. Not much to say really, Shiki was Shiki and that was about as good as it got when it came to descriptions.

"And uh, I'm good. Feeling better than yesterday anyways.." Haruka trailed off a little, looking back at the sky to avoid eye contact, chewing his lip a bit.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia didn't want to wake up the following morning, or maybe she was just tired since she couldn't sleep last night. The night before, she asked Seifer what happened a year ago, before they had met. What was it that she was missing out on? He didn't give her an answer. Then, last night, he told her what she assumed was everything. It was about a disaster in New York, something with Champions and Cardfight Clans being sealed away... It sounded more like a fanfiction than reality. Could all of that really happened? She didn't know, and felt that she was even more confused than before...

But today was a new day. She had to move on, or try to get used to it that there might be a bit more to Cardfight than she knew. Looking to her purple deck box which she held in hand, her feet leading the way while her mind wandered. What exactly is this game?... Is it even a game anymore?... A soft sigh escaped her lips, putting the box to her hip and lifting her head. She noticed her feet led her to the park that Seifer had mentioned in the note, and she was more so surprised she didn't get lost than anything else. At least until she saw who else was in the park. Obviously Seifer was going to be there... but  Haruka was there too. Rosalia remembered him from the other day in the alley with Hana and the others. But she didn't know the other guy next to Haruka, and then there was the girl from the dry cleaners...

Hold up. Was it a coincidence that the same girl from yesterday was here today? Well, it was a park, and wonderful weather to be outside, but... Sure enough, the girl was staring at Seifer. Rosalia bit her lower lip. Maybe she's another friend of Seifer's I haven't met yet?... I mean, sure, there should be more people that he knows than just Hana, Neo, and them... And yet, the redhead was walking over to the other girl, a smile on her own lips as she blatantly stepped in front of the other girl's way, stopping there and facing her. "H-hi there~ I remember you from yesterday. I passed you on the way out of the dry cleaners, remember? Coincidence we're here at the park together~"

[Cipher Izanagi]

Seifer glanced in the direction that Haruka had pointed, noticing the guy from last night, which he just shrugged off. He didn't know what he was going through at the moment so he was fine in saying what he did. In any case, the brunette turned his head toward Shiki, nodding slightly before looking back at Haruka. "It's nice to meet you Shiki. And what do you mean feeling better than yesterday?... ...Did something happen?" he asked, slightly worried. He didn't know as much about Haruka as others probably knew, but he still considered him something of a friend.

[Skyzlimitz]

Sky poked his head out from behind the tree. He did not know why, but something was bugging him about Seifer. Maybe it was the fact that everyone seemed to somehow be drawn to him. Thinking back to the girls from the dry cleaners and now the boy he was just talking to this theory made sense. But what Sky couldnt undertand was why. To sky Seifer seemed like an arrogant jerk. Well he did pay to get his shirt cleaned so maybe not so much of a jerk. Maybe Sky was wrong bout Seifer he thought. So to confirm or deny this Sky decided that today he would see what kind of man Seifer really was..... by stalking him. Right now Sky was close enogh to hear the conversation he was having so he stood and listened further.

[Cece Lockhart]

"Huh? What?" Noel said like if she snapped back into reality seeing that a random redhead approached her. Although, she wasn't random. Noel saw this girl at the dry cleaners yesterday but didn't spoke a word until today. "Uhh, yeah... I remember you too.." Noel said awkwardly since this girl caught her off guard, "I-I guess it's a coincidence. I'm new to this town so I was just exploring and getting to know the place better. I'm Noel Kusa-" She stopped and thought to herself that people might know the family name if she says it which can probably push them all away, "I'm just Noel... haha"

Noel introduced herself while her gaze was still observing who she believes is her brother as if she is trying to confirm it with how he acts with the group of people he approached

[Nobody]

Oh lordy. At first he just wanted to talk to Haruka with hopes that maybe something eventful happens this day. But then people just started pilling up, one person after another seemed to approach Haruka. Could it be? Could Haruka have a special power? Could he be the all-powerful "Chick Magnet"? Ceriantly, Shiki took interest in this, admiring his new friend even more for this.

He introduced himself to all the new people, well atleast those that asked for his name. Not really sure how to feel or react to this. Were they interesting? Or perhaps they were just the knid of people Shiki hates? Who knows.

"Don't worry, I'm very full anyways, but thanks man. I love chocolate more than anything else so the though alone is good enough.. I think?" he answered to Haruka's apology. To be honest he was sort of sad because he'd eat chocolate even if he was to die from it. But what can you do.

Shiki had no idea how to act in this situation, he didn't want to ignore all these people but what do?

But then here it was, the perfect answer to this. The ultimate question.

"So what's been happening?"
