(GS3) Field: Card Capital

[Hope]

Gang clothing, buff men, and Vanguard... Must be the slums, she should visit the guys there later since it's sorta been awhile.

"I see, I'm glad that you are. As for me, yes I'm from America. Hawks, freedom, guns and stuff." She giggled.

She leaned back on the chair and relaxed herself, there was something that kept bothering her about the events from last night, something that kept swaying her into an internal conflict between her ideals. It was strange.

"Have you ever bonded with you deck or anything? Weird question, I know they're just cards but, you know have you ever met anyone who talked to them or do you do that yourself or something?"

[Nobody]

Shiki nodded, acting as if he knew perfectly what exactly America is. Atleast he felt accomplished for figuring out Neu isn't originally from here, what a smart guy.

"They're just cards, but I did buy them with money.. I don't feel anything special to objects but.. I'd be sad if I lost them that's for sure.", Shiki answered instantly, upon hearing the second part of her question, his expression changed to a rather sad one for a moment, normally he'd shrug it off but hearing from a girl it was different, the only person he talked to more than once without having physical harm inflicted upon him basically called him crazy, in a way.
"Well.. yes, this one white-haired stalker talked to her cards as if they're real, she really must be crazy, hearing voices and speaking to cards like that. As for me? No, no. I'm most definetly not crazy at all!"

[Hope]

White-haired stalker... Well, its obvious that people who talk to cards could really just be insane and in need of help. This guy was also probably insane and in need of help, but he just said that he wasn't. Neu didn't believe him a single bit. Though, the thoughts ran across her mind, thoughts over bonding with actual units from Cray, but it really just seemed so ridiculous.

She looked over to guy with the slappable face, "I see, well thanks for the talk, I gotta go and head out somewhere, so hope I can see you here again."

Neu stood up and made her way out of the shop.

[Nobody]

Shiki nodded at her, waved goodbye and went back to watching other people play the cardgame, up untill the shop closed for the night after which he'd leave, wandering god knows where once again.

On my way to school, I decided to stop at Card Capital. As I walked in the manager greeted me.
Shin'en: Hi, do you have any 'Gold PAladin' cards?
      -manager looks around-
Manager: Naaaa, not any that you would want.
Shin'en: Oh, cause this deck needs improving.
Manger: Hmmm, let me take a look at it
Shin'en: Ive been losing a lot with it lately.
Manager: Hmm, this deck seems find to me... Maybe its not the deck thats the problem.
Shin'en: hm?
Manager: Its probably your playstyle...have you every tried any other clan?
SHin'en: No
Manager: Hm....*goes to the back of the building* Well here, *gives shin'en a deck* try it, you need to try other clans and their playstyle to know how to beat them. BUUTT, im giving you this deck for free, so your gonna have to give me your gold paladin deck til you are done using that deck.
Shin'en: ok, thanks -Shin'en leaves the building- hmm, Oracle Think Tank.

Ighanna enters the cardshop with a happy gleam on her face as the warm, embracing sunlight penetrates through the crystal clear window panes, reflecting off her tinted sunglasses. The brightly lit shop was surprisingly quiet today, probably because it was quite early so most of the younger customers are still occupied with school. Looking at glass cabinets was quite thrilling for her eyes as the elegantly arranged cards inside reflected the light with their foils, shining out spectrums on the background whilst bringing out the unit's true beauty. Some cards differed, especially those with higher price tags, as the foil did not totally emit spectrums but instead shone like constellations, revealing a unique pattern but not concealing the background artwork, there were many different textures to explore. She showed her appreciation, taking note of every single detail until she could remember the type of cards.

"So this is SP, this is Triple R, this is Double R" she mumbled as she sidestepped slowly across each cabinet like godzilla hanging on the edge of a skyscraper. What caught her attention was the 'Angel Feather' cards which she felt spiritually attracted to. Shamshiel, Armaros, Nociel, Turiel, she listed out the names of every interesting card and thought maybe her deck needs a change in order to combat what is currently going on at Cray. Without a second thought she reached out for her avatar card, Metatron and discussed the deep strategies and plans.

"Metatron, with Shamshiel isn't it just plain out better than Calamity Flame-san since she has an extra 'Limit Break' skill allowing her to function as a side boss in the Vanguard Circle by improving defense qualities with a hand swap and offensive qualities by powering the horses." Ighanna questioned/

"Well, Calamity Flame has the edge of being able to power-up even on the Rear-Guard Circle meanwhile Shamshiel only functions on the Vanguard and so she helps more when you have me, but then again it Shamshiel could serve as a defensive secondary ride and it also doesn't hinder the deck if you fail to ride me. Probably doesn't hurt to test it out though." Metatron replied intellectually.

"Now then with Shamshiel as the base, we should focus on more defensive aspects such as Armaros and Battle Cupid ,Nociel which allows us to increase hand size and quality. Furthermore the swapping compliments Armaros even better as they mitigate the cost due to Nociel and Shamshiel acting as a semi-damage unflipper." Ighanna suggested as Metatron nodded in agreement.

As Ighanna approached the checkout counter where the Manager resided organizing cards, her attention was caught by the clan 'Neo Nectar.' She saw it, her former ace, Maiden of Trailing Rose, shining brightly inside the glass cabinet but was let down by how she can't communicate to her former clan, 'this must probably be how Yukino, Jellal and Hana felt as they lost their clans' Ighanna thought despite never being able to contact Maiden of Trailing Rose. She was quite envious of Satoshi being able to materialize with Seph but then again, she felt relieved she still has Metatron by her side. However next to Trailing Rose was a brand new card, which appeared to be a knight rather than maidens, its name was "White Lily Musketeer, Cecilia" and under it was probably her comrades, as they all seem to have a 'knightly' figure and contained Musketeers in their name. With her resolve to treat both of her decks with equal love, she decided to improve her Neo Nectars and this card is perfect for the job and so she listed out their names and proceeded to hand it to the manager along with her list of Angel Feather cards.

Ighanna sighed as she sat down and spread her deck on a table, suited for cardfights. Normally it would usually be full as children would crowd for the table however because of how quiet it was, she thought it was the perfect place to deck build. After a while, she succeeded in building her decks and cleared up the mess while looking at her clock. "I guess I'd have to wait for someone to come in to test my decks with." She said as she brought out her notebook and wrote some song lyrics due to the boredom.

[ryujiknight]

On my way home, I was excited to test my new OTT deck. I went straight to card capital and saw someone sitting there, she looked as if she were waiting for a cardfight. I walked up  to her, usually I would be nervous but after coming to Card Capital everyday it grown on me. I said my favorite words, "Cardfight?"

[Azuki Frappé]

"Cardfight?" Ighanna heard as she turned around to see a boy nervously asking her for a cardfight. Despite the short and unclear offer, she somehow understood it quite well from the context, she was in a cardshop after all so 'cardfight' could only mean one thing. She then brought out her newly editted Angel Feather Deck in hopes of it succeeding as well as she thought it would be.

"Stand Up! Vanguard!

[ryujiknight]

As I rode my grade 3, I drew 3 cards but that was nothing to my opponent who had already drew 2 draw triggers. I was barely holding on ,I was already at 4 damage and was relying on my triggers to win, but in the end I lost. Using Angel Feather skills the girl moved card from damage zone to hand. It was a stategy I had never seen before .

[Azuki Frappé]

Shamshiel has proved to be quite effective, compensated by 6 draw triggers and hitting two of them, Ighanna wasn't so behind despite misriding for several turns. The ever-so-picky Silent Tom would normally be a huge problem if not for Nociel who was keeping Shamshiel at a 12k base power allowing the rest of the attacks to be guarded with ease. Overally despite not being able to summon her avatar, she felt that this deck is much more safer compared to her previous glass cannon build.

"Thanks for the game, whats your name again? Mine's Ighanna R. Colberg" Ighanna asked as she scooped her cards into a deck.

[ryujiknight]

"Shin'en, Shin'en Kuraidesu, I'm looking forward to cardfighting you again"

[Azuki Frappé]

"Shin'en, Shin'en Kuraidesu, I'm forward to cardfighting you again" Ighanna heard as Shin'en introduced himself, he probably meant he was looking forward to cardfighting her. After finishing the introductions, Ighanna pardoned Shin'en and left the shops, feeling comfortable about her newly constructed deck.

After testing my OTT Deck for awhile I decided to buy it.

Walking into Card Capital, the manager greeted me and I told him I wanted to buy  the deck that he had gave me. The Manager looked surprised. He said," Remember I loaned you that deck so you can try other clans and their playstyle, you don't have to necessarily use them. I mean at least try your Gold paladin deck one more time. *gives Shin'en the deck* and...I made some changes to it as well." Shin'en takes the deck and looks through it and says, "Ok" He walks over to a table and waits for someone to cardfight him.

[Kuro]

Haruki went to Card Capital to have some more fun fights while training with his Dimension Police deck some more. As he entered the card shop, the young man of justice noticed his friend Shin'en at a table, probably looking for a cardfight as well. He walked over to his friend and pulled out his deck.

"Hey Shin'en. You up for a cardfight?" He gave a friendly smile as he said this.

[ryujiknight]

"Sure" I said looking down at my deck," That’s why we are here right?" I said looking up noticing that it was Haruki, I pulled out my deck…

"Stand Up my Vanguard

Haruki was using Dimensional Robo, his rearguards were giving his Vanguard Power, and once his Vanguard was at his MAX, he got [Critical] +1


I was using my Vortimer Ride Chain, Every time I rode ,I retire and called 2 units from my deck.  With this I built my hand for guard, but it wasn’t enough to stop Haruki, in the end he won again. I decided that Gold Paladin wasn’t meant for me…but I'll always have it.  But for now I will keep my OTT Deck.
