(GS3) Field: Card Capital

[Hope]

"It's not assuming if its based on what I just saw. I don't know why I would be trying to scare you with my dog, its a puppy that I just got from the shelter today... perhaps it scares you?... Naisu."

"Well, if this is all you got, then don't bother challenging me again." That's what you said right?

[Helios]

"Look. I know you want to cardfight me, I just simply don't have the time. Good day," he says as he hopefully finishes up with Hana.

[Hope]

Hana cut him off where he was walking. She looked at him deep in the eyes, her eyes piercing like her sister's, just like swords.

"I'm going to ask this again. That's what you said right?"

[Helios]

He stops, looking at Hana in the eyes with a straight face.

"And why do you care about me so much," he replies.

[Hope]

Hana smiled.

"It's actually the fact that I don't. I actually just want to beat your head in."

Hana opened the shop door and turned towards him.

"Now I guess you really do deserve the nickname of The Running Man."

With that, Hana left the shop.

Affinity:
The Running Man: -5 (If you act high and mighty then your better prove it.)

[Helios]

Never thought se would leave. Though she doesn't understand why I turned her down. My deck isn't right and she doesn't know that.

Hazama walks out of the store, and goes the opposite way of Hana's path.

-5 affinity to Hana Espoir.

[Kuro]

Haruki's attempts to lift Hazama's spirits went to waste. He used the Pale Moon clan like Kurai suggested, but it didn't work out in his favor, similarly to his training with Sydney. Another Stil Vampir mega blast was shot at Haruki's vanguard, and with only grade 0s to guard with, he couldn't hold out. A failed attempt at friendship.

Hazama -1 AF

As he stood there realizing how weak his efforts have been, Hazama walked off being confronted with another fighter.

Maybe they're better friends with him than me. There just has to be a way for me to be better.

As chance would have it, Haruki saw Sydney waving outside the cardshop. The raggedy-clothed man from before had switched into a more suitable attire for the city. He went around the two out of the shop to answer the call and gave a quick hello.

"Hey Sydney."

"Yo Haruki, how has your deck testing went so far? Anything happen while cardfighting?"

"Well, I really tried my best to learn what clan could suit me, but I just can't figure anything out now," Haruki started to snivel while talking.

"Wait. Did something go wrong while you were at Card Capital?"

"Nothing happened at first. I got to fight with my friends and we had lots of fun, but... one of them... just wasn't feeling right. I know Hazama is a good person, since we had so much fun at the park before. Now, he's going way too far, and I can't find a way to get through to him with the level I'm at now."

"Hmm... what this all sounds like," Sydney thought for a second, "is you're trying to bring this kid to justice. You've got a lot of good in you Haruki, more than I had at your age."

"What do you mean?" Haruki knew Sydney was trying to help him out, but was still confused.

"I've never let you play my clan yet have I? The Dimension Police is one for those with a strong sense of justice, and I can see that inside of you Haruki. Up to now, you've said that none of these clans have resonated with you well enough, but this is your chance to bring justice to the world of vanguard." Sydney reached into his pocket and held out a card. "This card was the one that brought me to justice, the Super Dimensional Robo, Daiyusha. Maybe by using this, you can become even stronger than before."

Haruki held the card as it shined and looked back at Sydney with a newfound determination.

"Yeah, you're right Sydney. I've never looked at what I had as justice, but somehow I can feel that this card was meant for me."

"If you're going to learn the ins and outs of the Dimension Police, I'm going to have to train you even more than before. This clan is my specialty, so you'll be learning from a great teacher."

"Alright! I'm ready to start my training!" Haruki shouted with enthusiasm.

"Woah, not so fast there. It's the middle of the night, no time to do anything but get some sleep for you. We'll be doing more practice than ever, so be prepared for the next few months."

"Okay then, I'll see ya then Sydney."

"Good luck Haruki, it's going to be tough. "

Haruki was off to the train station to get some rest. His dismal mood changed into one of excitement, as he couldn't wait to start with this amazing clan, one that would change everything for him. With a drive in his step and a passionate heart, he went home with a new feeling of justice.

Kurai watched the events of in Card Capital unfold, He sensed hostility from the place. Taking it upon himself, he left the shop in pursuit of the stranger that showed hostility.

[Hope]

Hana entered the shop, looking at the walls like usual. She knew what to expect but it never hurt to have hope.

The shop still didn't have Bermuda Triangle. Kagero, Royal Paladin, and Shadow Paladin were gone too. She decided that she should probably trying to play a few games before heading over to the shopping district to buy her dog some food. It's also been awhile since anything interesting has happened lately. She appreciated the peace, but wouldn't mind if something were to disrupt it as long as it gave her a lead as to where the sealed clans are. At the moment, the alliances of Cray are left clueless and she has been making decisions on less important things as of late. She greeted manager-san hello and sat along one of the tables. She placed her mom's deck on the table and scanned through it, still needing to become familiar with it.

"Mom-san sure is into weird things... or would that be Dad-san...?"

[Azuki Frappé]

Ighanna catches a glimpse of her acquaintance entering the card shop so she ordered her chauffeur to stop. She then stepped out of her car, fully disguised with sunglasses and sweatpants, and before pushing the door she grabbed a card out of her pocket.

"Whats wrong, master?" declared Metatron as Ighanna was wearing a worried look on her face meanwhile looking down towards her card.

She replied with the typical cliché "I'm fine". Metatron's look wasn't inclined however she did not question any further. She then stood in front of the Card Capital door, allowing the automatic glass panel to do its work. She stepped in and traveled her eye across every table and the counter.

"Metatron do you sense anyone interesting?" Ighanna asked however Metatron shook her head, apparently there wasn't a communicator in here. However what surprised her was that Hana is currently in the shop. Ighanna tried hard to remember what Hana was using when she won the Nationals because she was pretty sure Hana communicated to her cards however all of her memories are blurred out and she couldn't even remember what clan Hana played. Slightly annoyed by the curiousity, she approached Hana and sat directly opposite her.

"Hana-chan, Hi do you remember me? Hahah I'd like to ask a question, what were you using during the Nationals? It became a subject among my friends earlier but everyone seemed to forget. Could you please enlighten me, thank you!" Ighanna said with fake enthusiasm.

[Hope]

Hana looked up to notice her Auntie had approached her, the car stopped outside with the usual driver... whom she somehow thinks has no  name by now. She looked up at Iguana-chan who should really stick to music videos because her acting wasn't that great for someone in Hollywood.

"I used Angel Feathers to win the Nationals," Hana took out a card from among her deck stack and showed it to Iguana-chan, "See."

Love Machine Gun, Nociel reflected off the Card Shop's light, its pink hair and timid face, loading up and ready to shoot three deadly heart-tipped arrows. This reminds Hana of one of her favorite songs, Angel with a Shotgun.

"By the way auntie, is Drake feeling any better yet?"

[shirii]

Dalis walked into the store, tightly gripping her new deck in her hands. She noticed Hana and Igahanna, quickly walking over to them and leaning on the table beside them.

"Hi there, Hana. Congratulations on winning the Nationals." Dalis said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "And hi, Igahanna. Haven't seen you since the Festival." She idly glanced at the deck, the feel of it in her hand comforting.

[Hope]

"Oh, arigatou Dali-chan!" Hana stood up and bowed to thank her.

She hasn't seen Dali-chan for awhile either, and she isn't exactly sure where their bond stands, but she does respect Dali-chan as she does with her Auntie, fellow performers, we gud! Hana was then thought to herself and remembered her question. From the bottom of her heart, Hana really wished that Drake was ok now because she remembers him from the Summer Festival, where he cried for six hours straight.

[Azuki Frappé]

As Hana-chan reveals her Angel Feather deck to Ighanna, she felt slightly surprised since Ighanna also uses Angel Feathers now, however she used to use the Marquis' Neo Nectar deck before but with Metatron in company, she felt more comfortable with Angel Feathers. Another figure seems to approach the table too and soon Ighanna was flooded with questions.

"Oh, Drake is feeling really fine right now, he was just nominated for Grammy's but poor Drake didn't win it" Said Ighanna as she saw Drake last week at the Academy Awards.

"Dalis! Fancy meeting you here, last time we met at the festival it was a bit too crowded we didn't get much chance to talk together haha. Seems like you also know Hana, how coincidental!" Ighanna replied as she stares at Dalis' hand, analyzing the content of what she was holding.

"Perhaps could that be your new deck?" Ighanna asked in an excited tone, she also has a new deck. After all two months have passed by, can't expect people to stick to their old decks.

[shirii]

"I'm not sure why you're bowing to me." Dalis said, confusion dancing across her face. She walked to the fight table, placing her deck on it and looking over at Igahnna. "Yeah, I have a new deck." She answered. "I assume you do too."

"Care to have a quick fight, Igahanna?" Dalis asked, shifting her hair out of her face and adjusting her clothes. She was just looking for something to pass the time, and a fight with Igahanna seemed like a great idea. Not to mention, she really knew nothing about her.
