(GS3) Field: Card Capital

[shirii]

Dalis merely stared at the new arrival, with eyes of pure venom. Sitting up, she rested her hands on her lap.

"What do you want?" She snapped with an air of importance, an icy edge to her voice. She was visibly on edge, teeth grit inside her closed mouth and fists clenched up into tight fists. Despite this, she tried to keep herself casual, with a lying smile plastered on her face.

[Chr0nexia]

Daichi is somewhat startled by the girl's gesture but shrugs it off with a smile.

"I have a feeling she is a great cardfighter. Ask her for a fight."

Daichi hesitantly answers,"Umm.. I am not from around here, forgive my intrusion.. I was looking for a fun cardfight and I thought you would be up for it!".

Daichi nervously eats a french fry.

[Kaze Natsume]

After hearing what Jellal had to say Kaze didn't know what to respond with regarding the information that was given to him. He repeated the name to himself "J-Jellal Kiseragi..." Kaze watched as Jellal waked outta card shop. Kaze then started to pack up his cards before sliding them in the deck box he looked at the card on top the pile "Not my real deck huh..." he said inside his mind. Kaze slides the deck into the deck box and put it in his pocket and put on his hood and walks towards the door thinking about everything that happened in the cardfight.

Kaze pushed the glass door open and walks out of the store; he doesn't see any sight of Jellal around. He starts to shed a tear "I came so close and yet I'm still left with more and more questions." he thought to himself looking at the sky as the clouds pass by. Kaze has a long way ahead of him like what more does Jellal know, who else could help him, and more importantly what's really his.

Kaze leaves the card shop depressed not knowing what to do so he heads somewhere to relax and think about his next moves. "Until we meet again Jellal. I WILL get my answers." Kaze says to himself in anger.

[shirii]

All Dalis could do was stare at the boy, not impressed in the slightest. Sighing as she stood up, she made her way over to a fight table, where she placed her deck and prepared for the Cardfight.

Moving her hair out of her face, she muttered, "It's probably the only way to get rid of you." She stared at the cards, pain written across her face, shadows of doubt crossing her face and mind.

[MaXtreme]

Itou seemed to have fallen asleep, and during that it seems some cardfights happened and are happening. Still he believes he should not interfere, so he stays in his chair, still alone and without an opponent

[Kuro]

The store manager walked over and noticed Haruki by some cards. He had a friendly smile as he saw the boy, showing that they were well acquainted with each other. "Another deck, Haruki? Who did you play this time to want to make a new deck?"

"Nice to see you again Manager," Haruki said with a joyful expression. He thought about what had happened during his battle with the ghost child, and was indecisive as to whether it was really okay to tell about his strange encounter. The shop manager was a responsible adult, and could probably handle something like the undead. "Well, you see, a couple of days ago, I fought this ghost and he was using this clan. Really spooky, huh?"

The manager's smile turned into a face of worry. He whispered so no one could hear, "Wait.. Haruki, you fought a ghost? Where did this happen, and what did it look like?"

Haruki was confused. This was that important to Manager? "They looked like a kid, all burnt up I guess. It was back at the Rijiku apartments, some really creepy room."

The face of worry changed into one of distress. "Listen Haruki, and this is really important. I know about that ghost." Haruki looked at him in shock. How could this man know of ghosts? ...A Ghostbuster, perhaps? "I can't talk much about it now since I have to attend to the shop, but meet back here when it's closing time and I can explain everything. Go have some fun cardfights for now."

He rang up the cards that Haruki picked out and moved over to other areas of the shop, leaving him with a mind full of wonder. The Manager... the Ghostbuster. The young boy walked to the main area and noticed someone he's fought before leaning back into a chair all alone. Itou was epic when cardfighting, so he seemed like a great opponent to fight and get pumped up. Haruki walked up to the guy and greeted him.

"Hey Itou! Haven't seen you since the stamp rally." Haruki held out his deck and asked, "Wanna cardfight?"

[MaXtreme]

"yes, i'd be glad to" - Itou answers

He grabs his new deck and sits properly in the table. His mind forgets all the past events and focuses on the fight. He has fought Haruki before, it also seemed he was 2nd place in the Stamp Rally so he was not be underestimated. Itou gets ready for a fierce match

[Chr0nexia]

Daichi could feel that the girl with raven hair was irked.
The fight had started and Daichi had executed his Tsukuyomi ride chain perfectly thus far.
However, Daichi was pushed to the edge when he was on Grade 1, as he did not read one of the rearguards' skills, which put him under a lot of pressure from the girl's Enigman Wave.
She successfully drew off of it's skill, and Daichi was a tad bit amused that other units could also do what his clan did the best. He was losing 4-1 damage at this point.

After a couple of heated turns, and intense attacks from both sides, the girl pulled off an amazing combination that put a lot of pressure on the 17 year old, but he was somehow able to hold his own at 5 damage while the girl remained at 4.

As the fight went on, Daichi was pushed to a tight corner, where 1 damage could mean Daichi's forces would be erased from Cray.
"The First card.." "..And now the second!", Daichi was tensed at this moment but he was lucky that the girl did not check a trigger.
Daichi munched down a few fries as he was getting very hungry from the intense battle.

Daichi was calculating all along, and he knew his winning image was close. He rides CEO Amaterasu in a last ditch effort to push for game.
The girl decides to no guard Amaterasu's attack, and Daichi knows the top card is a critical!

"Critical to my Vanguard and power to my rearguard half moon. Second check! Heal Trigger, all effects to my Red Eye."

Daichi could not learn the girl's name as she left in a hurry, but he hopes he can fight her another day.

"I told you she was good".

Daichi sits in a corner sipping on a can of coke. With ear phones plugged in, he starts working on his laptop.

+1 AP Dalis (Don't know her name).

[MaXtreme]

Itou fights Haruki after a while, and both fighters seemed to have changed their decks, Haruki used a new clan named Granblue. He hid the traits of his deck so Itou could not prepare countermeasures, he misgrades on purpose willing to build the necessary cost for Akane's skill and that might have costed him a lot. Itou builds his field with his newest addition Fang of Light Garmore, but when that happened he was in a weakened state. Itou was beaten, which didn't happen in a while, Haruki thanked him for the game, and it also looks like Haruki doesn't know what Itou did on the previous day so he feels more relaxed, and walks off Card Capital with a smile.

Haruki +3 AP

[Kuro]

As soon as Haruki knocked on the door to Card Capital, an arm reached out from behind it and yanked him inside, leaving the closed sign flowing in the light breeze. Once inside, Haruki noticed Manager was the one that pulled him into the shop, as he was standing by the door.

"Haruki, this is something big you have on your hands right now. If you want to understand this abnormality of nature, we need to go deeper." He led Haruki into the supplies area of the shop and pushed on a tall shelf rack, but to no avail. Didn't even budge a bit.

"Need some help?" asked Haruki. With a bit a effort, they both pushed the object, and behind it was a secret door. As Manager opened it, the path went downward into a deep area. Thankfully that space was well-lit. Haruki couldn't tell how far it went, as when he looked down, the path seemed to loop downwards in a spiral.

"This is going to be a long walk, might even take all night. I've already made arrangements for a sub-manager to come in and watch the shop tomorrow, but are you prepared for this, Haruki?"

"I'm more than ready for this manager!" Haruki said with a determined look. "If I can find out more about this new mystery, a night of sleep is worth going without. Besides, I bet this will be a ton of fun too!"

They pulled the shelf rack in front of the door and headed down into the bright abyss.

[Mahiraku]

Ryuske yawned slightly, having only recently woken up from a nap. His destination as he walked down the sidewalk was Card Capital. He was dressed in a red short sleeved, zip up hoodie worn open over a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and black and gray sneakers, with his hair worn down and a red baseball cap on backwards while also carrying a gray backpack. Arriving at Card Capital, he noticed that there wasn't a manager on duty at the counter, though there were people around playing Vanguard. Ryuske shrugged his shoulders before sitting down, pulling his white deck case out from his backpack. He set his starting vanguard aside and power shuffled his deck while waiting to see if there was anyone interested in playing.

[Jello]

Haruka finds himself in Card Capital after a strange morning with Daichi. A lot of talking and exchanging of past events. Venting was a great method of helping Daichi when he finds himself having that dream again. He walks in, cup of coffee in hand, to the nearest table and sits down. Without even noticing it, he finds himself sitting in front of a boy in a red cap and a hoodie, shuffling his deck like a mad man.

"Y-Yo, you okay there?" Haruka raises his eyebrow before realizing he wants a fight. "Hoh... Okay." He grins a bit, before pulling out his starting Vanguard, face-down and slides it onto the Vanguard circle. "Never seen you around before. What's your name?" Haruka shuffles his deck, awaiting a response.

[Mahiraku]

"Name's Ryuske Hagiwara, just moved here recently to be honest. But yeah I'm always up for a card fight. To me that's how you really meet people," he replied with a grin. Setting up his starting vanguard, he finished shuffling his deck and set it where it was needed to be. "I'm ready to go when you are, uh... What was your name?" he replied realizing that he hadn't quite gotten the other guy's name yet.

[Jello]

The first fight was a complete stomp on the side of Ryuske. Haruka was stuck on Sadegh, or as his acquaintances call it, "Sad egg" for two whole turns. He ended up getting squashed out rather quickly, however a rematch was instated due to such awful luck on Haruka's part.

This fight was much more interesting. The matchup was Kagero vs Kagero, so the fire was intense. People even started watching with Haruka yelling his heart out in the fight, and Ryuske not backing down an inch. This match had gone mostly in Haruka's favor for the opening into mid-game, scoring a heal trigger and having full field advantage come the time Ryuske makes it to grade 3.

This is where things got dicey.

Ryuske bravely declared his attack. Blazing Flare was pursuing Dragonic Overlord across the field. Haruka has hand advantage and is only at 3 damage. He smirks, and yells, "Gimme your best shot, no guard!"

That's exactly what happened.

"Double critical to Blazing Flare Dragon!" Haruka's jaw dropped for a moment. He was holding a perfect guard in his hand and neglected to use it, causing his downfall. "Remind me never to gamble the damage board..."

Haruka was silent staring as he lost again. He breathed in, and started laughing, harder and harder for a few seconds.

"That was great, hahaha, you rock dude. That was intense!" Ryuske was still mostly calm, but he smiled too, or so Haruka believed. "I enjoyed it a lot."

Haruka extended his hand out. "Nice to meet'cha, I'm Haruka Nakahara. I'm not very good, but whenver I'm knocked down I'll always stand back up!" His signature goofy grin bears itself.

"Or so I'd like to think."

"You've grown Haru. The Dragon Empire would be proud for you to be their Vanguard." Overlord praised Haruka, despite losing his fight.

Ryuske +2 AP

[Mahiraku]

The first fight was surprising to him as it wasn't the kind of fight Ryuske wanted. The win came too easily and he knew it wasn't the best of what his opponent could do with his deck. It wasn't too hard for him to decide that a rematch would be a good idea, especially since it would be more than likely a fair fight. And indeed round two was a fair fight, though Ryuske got stuck at grade 2 while his opponent rode his avatar in what looked like a hopeless situation. However Ryuske managed to dodge the bullet, being tied with his foe due to a heal trigger on their drive check.

It was then that Ryuske drew his own avatar, Blazing Flare Dragon. Riding Blazing Flare, with the disadvantage on the field, he knew it was all or nothing if he wanted even a chance to win. "Boosted by Sadig, my avatar attacks your Vanguard!" he declared, somewhat surprised by the reply of no guard. His drive check then caused a collective jaw drop among those watching and participating. The first crit trigger was something one could expect as likely. The second however was beyond his belief, with the result being 6-3 after his opponent could not get a heal trigger in the damage check.

The silence of his opponent left Ryuske a bit concerned, but the laughter caused him to loosen back up. Good, he could take losses like that in stride. "Yeah it was really fun man. You rock too," he replied with a smile of his own.

Shaking their hand, he was glad to get the person's name. "Nice to meet you too Haruka, and that's the best outlook to have in life. Never let anything keep you from standing back up," he replied with a grin of his own.
