(NYC) Field: Times Square

[Hope]

Where tourists hate tourists.

Field Status

Some stranger probably has you in their photo by now.
It's full of big screens and nice lights.
The usual movie cliche looking place that gets destroyed.

What is a field?

A field is an area where events between characters or even individual characters may happen. As replies to these posts, characters may chronicle events that transpire between each other which would often be as a result of or due to a Cardfight. Field events are great ways to develop characters as well as character relationships. Field events, for example, could include a Cardfight as part of a rivalry between two individuals. It can be something as simple as a simple outing or meeting that then leads to a game of Vanguard. Or something that would greatly move the plot, a fight between someone of the heroic affinity and someone of the villainous affinity.

Remember, Cray is looking for the best of the best to be a leader. This does not mean that the leader has to be filled with good intentions, its anyone who the cards seem to decide is fit. Heroes can do as much as they can, but without villains pushing the story forward with their schemes, there isn't much to save. So if you are on the villainous side, use these areas to move along with your plots and schemes. You may ask others to come and roleplay with you and anyone can post in these areas, there is no limit other than that of being logical and simply just being respectful to your fellow fighters.

Any character that you interact with during field events may get affinity +1 or -1 with you.
Certain fields may have special events and things happening there in order to start up some action.

Post events that transpire below based on you character's own perspective, and just have fun with it!
Good luck!

After leaving the hotel, Seifer made his way along the streets, memorizing his way to and from the hotel. It was... interesting.... to say the least. It was a large city with flashing lights, sounds, people shouting and yelling. The smells of food and other... unidentifiable smells invaded his senses as he explored. The advertisement billboards were somewhat obnoxious, at least he thought so, since they constantly flashed new products. "I found Neo at the hotel room. I wonder where the others are at though... Would of liked to see them before this all started but... I suppose it can wait until then. I'm sure they're pretty nervous or just getting ready." he mumbled to himself, slightly disappointed but oh well.

Hazama finally got off from his plane at JFK Airport. Admiring the beauty NYC gives, he walked out of the airport to start walking down the street. He knew he should walk because taxi fares were money well wasted in the magnificant city. He finds an entrance to the express subway to get to his destination, Times Square. It took the train about a half hour to get to his stop. He walks up the stairs to emerge above ground

"It's great to be back," he said to himself once he saw the complete greatness of the city. He put in his headphones and started to walk down the street to his destination, the Sheraton Hotel. Oh how great the memories made here were. But, my whole reasoning is changed. He walks up to the magnificant glory in its self. He walks through the door, checks in, drops off his stuff, and proceeds outside.

"Time to go walk around Times Square, just like the good ol' days. I wish... they were still here."

"Woof."

Hana was taking her dog through a fabulous walk in Times Square. The dog who grows endlessly everyday... "Hey stop, you might grow to be bigger than I am..." At the same time, Hana has actually grown a significant amount in the past few months alone. It was possibly a growth spurt which would only make sense, her father was a Lion and mother was the Chief Nurse, and Yukino also looked much more mature than she was. Hana was catching up to the family image along with Pr<3ism Promise. She entered a nearby restaurant and spoke to a man in the front desk to make reservations.

It was faint, but when Hana's dog barked, Seifer heard the tail end of it, turning his head in the direction it, or where he thought, it came from. As he did he caught a glimpse of Hana and started to make his way there, waving when he caught up. "Hey there Hana, I didn't expect to see... well... Anyone else for a little while. Except Neo. He was already in the room." he rambled off a hello before looking around the restaurant he had just so absentmindedly barged into after her, which brought a hint of red to his face out of sheer embarrassment since he figured it was kind of rude, and there were now probably people staring at him.

[Hope]

Somehow a voice had suddenly echoed from behind her so she turned around to discover who it was. "Sei-chan!"  She happily haved at him. The man from the front desk quickly handed her a piece of paper which held the available times for her to make her reservation so scanned it thoroughly. While doing so, she looked up at the embarassed looking individual and tried to comfort him. "Hey no worries, don't be too embarassed."

[Cipher Izanagi]

"Ah... Yeah... Just should learn my manners a bit better. What're you reserving here for though?" he asked, calming down slightly, though a faint red continued to linger. Shoving his right hand into his pocket he took a glance around the establishment while waiting for Hana's answer. Actually now that he thought about it, he wondered why kind of food they had there, and that it looked different from what he knew.

[Hope]

The way the workers were dressed, the carts of steak which they pushed around, and the way that the wine and salads were served suggested that this was a high-class establishment. Hana had to set reservations as this place was generally full. She found a good time during the night and pointed it out to the worker who was helping her. He took the paper and walked back to the front desk. "Oh' um ... I'm reserving for a date. I don't know if they'll be free thought but I am really hoping..."

[Cipher Izanagi]

The brunette male seemed a bit out of place, and didn't quite understand still until the mention of the word date. Nodding, Seifer smiled a little. "I'm sure they'll find time for it. I'll be rooting for you, though... I'm obviously going to not be around." he laughed a bit awkwardly scratching the back of his head like a big dope, but he meant the best, and hoped it'd work out for her.

Satoshi stretched. While he had been somewhat rudely awakened to get his match over with for the first round, it went better than he had expected. He was still in it. Looking over the bracket on his phone, he learned that Yukino and Haruka had needed to face off in the first round, unfortunately, with the Snow Flower winning over the Blazing Sun decisively. Well, at least Haruka would be there to root them both on, assuming they stayed in the tournament for long.

He gazed up at the lights of Times Square. This was what they called "the Big Apple," though there were no apples in sight. He wanted to grab a bite to eat with his friends, but he was kind of curious if they were actually available.

A quick message went out to the rest of the triad, as well as Hana, whose number the butler had also graciously provided.

Hey guys, you wanna get dinner? There are a lot of nice restaurants around here, from what I've read in the guidebook.

[Cherry]

"Tomorrow. Really sorry about blowing off a get-together between us again!"

Yukino limped back to the hotel, overcome by the golden heat again.

After Hana got prepared as well, she took Mi-hime to the restaurant that she reserved earlier. The man at the front desk led them to their table. It was a high-class restaurant with all the other customers wearing suits and dresses. The waiters and waitresses were dressed like butlers and maids, so it reminded Hana of home. Of course, this five star restaurant was probably not as good as having dinner in the manor, but it was decent enough. Hana herself was wearing a dress that she had bought back at home, a navy blue dress with ribbons to match her hair. Mi-hime was basically wearing the same thing, blue dress. Matching and all. "She looks so kawaii desu ne.." Hana thought to herself. The restaurant's standard menu was their usual steak and what made things different was just the size of the serving, everything else such as the salad, corn, mashed potatoes, mac n' cheese, and other things naturally just came with the steak on the side. Hana placed the order for both of them and quickly returned her attention to Mi-hime.

"Have you been feeling better?" She asked in concern.

[Crystalia]

She followed Hana through the square, to a restaurant. It seemed like a nice place, defineltly reasonably fancy. She noted that they had ended up wearing matching color dresses, an odd coincidence. They sat down at a table, and Hana ordered.

She made sure to hide her reaction when Hana asked her how she was feeling. 'O-oh, I'm feeling mostly fine now~ I felt a bit down for a while, but I think I'm better now.' This was true, she still felt a bit weird, but was generally better. 'How about youu? Dealing with things?' She stretched a little and then sighed. 'Sorry, you don't have to answer if you don't want to, we can just have a relaxing evening'.

[Azuki Frappé]

Despite her inability to participate in the New York Stage due to personal business, she has been invited over to the American Music Awards, hosted in New York City, which is one day prior to the tournament. With this year's music being exceptionally fantastic, for example Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" and Mariah Carey's "Infinity", there has been much conception that they will likely perform here. Furthermore as most of the artists are here, they will likely perform in the Stage Opening show too. Ighanna is gladly excited to be able to participate and spectate her friend's performances and excited battles.

Being in the middle of the Times Square made her feel as infinitesimal as an ant because of the amount of flashing lights and cars traveling, with red traffic lights flashing every now and then gushing people through the streets like a leaking dam.

"Newwwww Yooorrrkkkkkk!!!" Ighanna yelled as a limousine sent from the hotel picked her up from the Time Square, heart of the shopping streets. From Hersheys building to fashionable shops to Broadway shows, it is truly the 'concrete jungle where dreams are made of.'

[Hope]

"I'm feeling much better, though things with Yukino are still kind of not that good, but its definitely improving." She looked over to the side and sighed. "Yeah, I wish Yukino actually sticks up to her promise, I hope they weren't just lies to make me feel better. I took them seriously..." Hana looked back, embarrassed, "Oh!... I was saying a little much wasn't I?..."

She nodded, "Right, lets just have a relaxing evening."

Thinking back of things to talk about, Hana thought about how her idol career was about to come to a beginning depending on her manager's decision. She was for sure to get some roles as a back up dancer in some performances, but it was a completely different world to actually be pushed in the public as the front. She took a drink of water and wondered about it a little.

"Oh, Mi-hime, I've been auditioning and working with this one manager and kind of group. Turns out they really liked my performance at the beach and have been considering all kinds of offers for me to be an idol and all." She also wondered if she could take Mi-hime with her as well, she was sure that they would love her too.
