(GS3) Field: Hotel

[Jello]

Fire. A field of ashes and flames burning on those ashes surrounded him. Nothing but plains, set ablaze all the way to the horizon in each direction. There was no heat though, and there was no danger from the fire. Haruka had been here before. He had visited this field before. He'd never seen it with his own eyes, but it felt like home. It felt so surreal. Standing in front of those flames, Haruka felt a pair of lithe, pale arms wrap themselves around him. At first he hadn't noticed them. But as their grip tightened and a girly giggle was emitted from the direction behind him, he knew who it was.

"Yu-Yukin-"

Haruka turned around with a slight smile to find... Well, nobody. The arms disappeared into thin air and there was nobody where he thought he heard that laugh. Instead, lay more flames. And more flames. And somewhere among those flames lie more flames... Haruka became dizzy. He fell on his back, slowly trying to back away from the flames but tripping over his feet horrendously. He woke up to the touch of a hand on the shoulder and some bits of something.. What was that?

"..his...is...u...fin...irt..."


Haruka woke up drenched in sweat, laying on his bathroom floor. The evening came all too quick the night before, leaving him to dash out of the diner unexpectedly. His stomach felt better, but Haruka was suddenly in a panic attack the dream. Everything felt all too real. The fire, the touch, the words. Everything.

"Sera... What happened...?"

...

.....

.......

Haruka was met with silence, and his sudden frantic attitude became still. He felt cold, but was sweating up a storm. Maybe he really did have a fever after all. Stupid nightmares. He ended up using the wall as support to get up and get to the counter where he left his phone.

"... Ahhh... Gotta call Yukino today.." He picked up his cell. It read "5:03 AM."

"Hmm.. Well maybe when she's actually awake."

[Hope]

Papparazzi was crowding outside on the hotel lobvy as Isabella left thehotel's grand ballroom after her morning practice. They looked to interview ber in coverage of tonighofs concert. The whole world had their eyes on New York, the scene of the War of Liberation and the princess who helped lead the warriors to Vanguard's salvation. Isabella, the voice of Hope, they would call her. Tonight, Isabella Hope was making her worldwide debut, a Japanese Idol on an American grade stage, Time's Square.

A celebration of the War's end and return of the sealed heroes, that is what the concert was for. Flier were sent out az well as continuing news of this being spread and viral all ovef popular media. It was a surprise if someone didn't kniw of it at this point. It was going to be aired on televisions accross the world and streamed accross various sites. An all star line up of performers were invited and offered to perform, some among them being Rhianna, Nicki Minaj, Christian Aguilera, Lil Wayne, and Isabella's best friend, Drake. Drake had sent Isabella a hat that would add on to her stage costume tonight. Thanks man.

The practice wasn't heavy itself, all that was left was to take the stage by storm tonight.

[AlwaysAwake]

Was in his hotel room as he blinked blankly, eyeing a piece of paper before him. "Idol.... Concert?" Repeating out loud the words as he saw the image on it being of one called "Isabella Hope". The same girl from the broadcoast, the one that had created the gates that let the five champions challenge Neu within some rift in space. He was a bit unsure how to proceed, to or not go.

Deciding against his better judgement Alexander proceeded to get ready for the concert, getting the chance to see an up and coming idol wasn't a chance many people got. He'd secretly hope to meet some of the other fighters he had seen or heard about around there, to at least trade phone numbers and such. It would be a shame to not be able to see any of them again, or at least meet some new faces.

[Jello]

The sound of people and cameras was faint from the hotel lobby. Haruka put on a shirt and finally came out of his room. Upon coming out into the hallway, Haruka steps on some paper. Picking up the now crumpled flier, it talks about Isabella Hope, and her debut concert... Haruka's jaw drops. Then his face forms into a giddy smile. Whilst jumping and cheering, he dashed out to the lobby, all looking for her. Coverage for this event was insane, everyone was excited. Even Haruka was buzzing with joy.

"Looks like tonight is gonna be good." Haruka chimed to himself. He ran back up to his room to get ready for later that day.

[Skyzlimitz]

Sky yawned and stretched stepping out from the elevator into the lobby of the hotel. He had heard everyone in the hotel would be leaving today so he was looking for one last chance to fight. The buzzing papparazzi in the lobby made him recall something he saw while on the computer yesterday. There was going to be a concert today. Sky was never one for those kinds of things but he recognized the person who was performing was none other than the one he fought yesterday. Sky had no idea she was famous but also realized this concert would be to commemorate the event that took place, "There will definitely be some strong fighters there in that case!" Sky thought to himself and hurried back to the elevator to start getting ready.

[Cece Lockhart]

"Hey..... What the hell was that? Do you call that a fight?!"

"I don't know who you think you are, but don't act so high and mighty when someone challenges you and gives it everything they have! I mean there I was coming at you with all my passion and you seemed like you couldn't care less."

"If this is how the Japanese play vanguard then maybe I shouldn't have come here."

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

"Seifer... is that really you? I vaguely remember you but I feel like this isn't how you normally act. I remember your enthusiasm and positive attitude that day when you handed me Ashlei, this... this doesn't seem right!" Noel said to herself after leaving the laundry place after watching the cardfight with the guy she saw who was begging for food and who she believes is her half-brother who Noel has been searching for. "Well, I guess there is no point in thinking about it now. I first need to find a place to live or I might waste all my money in this hotel room. Wow, waste all my money... haha, that's a first." Noel chuckled a little at the fact that her money is now limited (although it is a crazy amount for your average person) and no longer a bottomless pool at her disposal.

Noel walks out of the hotel and notices that the day looks really nice outside and that it will be a waste of a nice day if all she did was look for places to stay. "I guess I COULD take some time to explore the city some more. Let's see, I went to the shopping district yesterday and along the way, I noticed there was a nice park to walk about in. I guess I will take a look at the park for a bit. Who knows, he might be there." Noel now decided, proceeded to make her way to the park

[Cece Lockhart]

Noel now all rested up and clean wakes up realizing she is late for school. More like she just remembered school started already yesterday.

"CRAP!!!!! I OVERSLEPT!!!" Noel scared herself awake. After calming down, she stopped and thoroughly though about missing school today. If she wanted to, she could probably skip a whole quarter of the year and not stay behind since her home schooling was pretty advanced despite her not liking the strict tutors that were assigned to teach her. "Hmmm, I guess I can find the cardshop Tsubasa directed me to so I can rebuild my deck... but ugh! What should I make the deck into..." This irritated Noel a lot. Her beloved Jewel Knights were gone and now she needed to replace them. She then started looking over at the available units on her phone and tried building mock decks until she found the right ones. "Alright, I will go with you guys! To the cardshop I go!" Noel grabs her things and decides to wear the school uniform despite not going today and heads off

[ShadowCM]

Khudus had just woken up. He stared up at the ceiling aimlessly and bored. It had been around a week since he arrived. He thought he would be able to find a place to stay but he had no luck and ended up staying at the hotel. He knew he had to find a place eventually but that would have to wait. He decided to sit up and stared over at the dressing table. There was his deck case. He reached for it and grabbed the case. He opened up the case and pulled out a card.

The card he pulled out was his Avatar Card Beast Deity, Ethics Buster. He stared at it and sighed. Its a long road ahead of us isn't it. To be honest this is huge pain. Rather head home but we decided we wouldn't defer from his path we started. He just stared at the card and after a while he put it back into the case. Oh well no point moping. Better get on with the day. he got up from the bed and got changed. Once changed he grabbed his deck and left his room. Well for today let's check out if we can find few other beast deities to make you stronger Ethics Buster. With the plan set he set off for the card shop.

[Jello]

"Mm..mmmm..." Haruka woke up in a rather expensive looking bed this morning. Half his suit lay across the floor, vest and all. He sat up scratching his head, looking around the dimly lit room. He was a bit groggy and his vision was kind of blurry. He rubbed his eyes, reaching for his glasses on the night stand. Haruka actually wore glasses, but he really thought they made him look too old, so he wore contacts instead to protect his youthful look.

Dork.

He looked around the room, finding a bit of disheveled clothing around the room. Haruka was still wearing his button-up and slacks, so he probably didn't sleep with anyone-

Hana. Haruka had taken Hana up on her offer to stay at a hotel with her the night before. The thing is, Haruka doesn't really remember all too much about getting there and all he remembers is a little cuddling and then it was lights out. Whatever happened is blank.

He got out of bed, put on his work uniform, gloves and all. He was actually growing really fond of the outfit, it gave a nice sense of individuality. But he also felt like some villain out of an anime and that felt weird to think. Maybe he could be the next shounen manga bad boy.

With that, he darts out the room, not really looking for Hana. Not that he was trying to ditch out on her by any means, but he had to make it to school! Saturday's there are still classes, it's just a half day. However today is one of Haruka's days off from work so he can finally attend the Cardfight Club today. He was pretty excited to finally get back in the action. He was already down the stairs in front of the building when he texted Hana. However before he did... he saw a message from Yukino. It said how she missed him.  He stared at his phone is disbelief.

Come tell me that then...

No need to be so harsh, Haruka. She is the one you promised yourself to first, you remember?

But she turned his back on him, and so did somebody else if I recall.

Sera and Overlord were having a passive-aggressive off right about now. Awkward.

"hey, on my way to the school. ill see you there, yeah? club today, dont forget! -haru"

He sent that to Hana and darted off to school, already being an hour or two late. Definitely got to make up for lost time.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren pointed out and led the way to the place they could rest for some time, the Hotel within the city. It probably wasn't the most... ideal place in terms of implication, but Darren wasn't thinking about that at the moment. All he was concerned with now was recovering and becoming strong enough to fight the Reverse. Speaking of which, he would likely have to tell Xat more about that. It was a strange feeling to have someone care for only him, the first time he felt it since coming here. He wondered why she cared enough to answer Daiyusha's call in the first place, but he wouldn't ask about it.

[xateramusa]

Xat helped him all the way to the hotel while talking to shira in her mind. 'Shira why did I feel compell to help him? I bearly know him?' She asked shirayuki.

'Its because even if you won't admit it you trust him. And see him as a friend.' Shirayuki said with a smile in ehr voice while Xat's eyes widden at the revulations.

'I guess so.' She said to shirayuki as they reached the hotal. She payed and grabed a room key, she then carried Darren to the room and placed him on the bed.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren didn't argue or fight, going to the room and laying on the bed. His body was bandaged up but he had been so hurt that he looked like a mummy once more. He looked up at her with a small smile as he was glad someone was watching over him at least a little.

"Thanks for helping me there..." Darren said with a sincere tone of admittance. "I was kind of in a bad way at that point. I was in the middle of the whole place being torn down by a battle between a giant fire dragon, a giant thunder dragon, and a giant super robot. Long story short, weird day."

After a moment of thought, Darren sent a text to Rosalia, Yukino, and to Seifer if he was even going to bother.

I'm in a hotel room with Xat right now. We're... not doing anything weird. I'm just gonna let my body recover a bit. If you need me, I'm here. Also the thing with the Scythe... I remember that was what Reversed me. Don't know how important that is.

[xateramusa]

Xat sat next to him. "Don't mention it, and your an idiot or getting caught in a middle of the battle. " She told him as she finished and looked away when she saw him smile and stood up. "I'm going to go get food." Was all she said as she left the room with a little blush on her face.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren blinked at what she said, looking down as she wasn't wrong. Seeing her walk away the way she did made him smile though, not because she was leaving but because she said she'd be coming back.

We need to have a talk with Yugure and the others later.

Let me have this moment, would you?

[xateramusa]

Xat went down to the lobby and to the resturant in the hotel and ordered food.  The food soon came out and after paying for it left the restrant not wanting to talk to anyone. She soon arrived back at the room and entered it.

"Here its chicken breast and some fries as well as some soda." she said as she  helped him sit up. After he was sitting she handed him his dinner. She then sat down next to him on a chair and placced her food and drink on the night stand.
