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 departing from the airport and checking in at the hotel, Haruki decided to see the sights of New York. One of the places he wanted to go to was Central Park because it sounded like a fun spot to have a good time before the first round of the World Circuit began. Upon arrival, he realized that the park was massive, way bigger than Rijuku back at home. He found a minimap of the area and sat on a bench in the area, looking for the great spots in the park.

[Nobody]

Upon leaving the Hotel, Shiki asked around for some sort of guide, and upon acquiring one departed on a trip along the Central Park, he wasn't really interested in any of this and the trip was rather boring. He shrugged off every "attraction", but it was something to do since there was nothing to watch, nothing to read, nobody to really meet. Atleast he has completely no luck in coming across any other parcipants for this event. Not even his opponent, whoever that person is.

[Jello]

He had gotten Satoshi's text, yet he was already out the door.

"sleep well, buddy -haru"

Haruka learned a decent amount of English from his aunt, who actually was born in America and lived in California for years. A lot of the stuff he learned was basic, but he even picked up a decent amount of complex words and signals. Navigating the city was mostly a breeze, thing is, the airhead that is Haruka Nakahara ended up reading the map upside down. He got where he was going, only several hours after he should've.

After appearing at the rather... really freaking huge place that Americans called a "park", he proceeded to find a bench. A special bench. It would be his bench and that would be where he stargazed for the next two days, because without the standard park stargazing bench, Haruka felt a bit incomplete. He cracked open a second soda he grabbed from the vending machine at the hotel and sipped.

Fizzzzzzzle.

It made a nice sound, and the first sip was always the best. He stared at clouds, awaiting for the sun to go down. He couldn't really stay in the hotel with so much hype for the tournament. However, with knowledge of his opponent, he was already dissatisfied. He liked flashy fights, so having the first round be something of a main event for him was a bit of a letdown, having to fight Yukino. It made the soda taste a bit worse all of a sudden.

"Well.. eh, we'll make it good anyhow."

Sip. Sip.

[Nobody]

The tour went on and on with seemingly no end, every attraction was basically a regular building or something and they all seemed pretty normal despite being called "attractions", he got really sick of it and probably did the biggest mistake of his life that he'd regret forever, he went away from the tour on his own. This meant that he'd probably get lost and never be seen by a single man ever again.

But to his luck, he found his way back to the park, although it was a different part of it but maybe it was for the better? He came across a bench, like noone other as it was occupied by the person that saved his life from the fate of being stuck on top of a bush. But he wouldn't really know it, afterall he never really paid attention to that person. He was also part of this event so there was that. He sat next to him, exhausted from all the walking hoping that the man would strike a conversation with him or something.

[Jello]

The soda was mostly empty at this point, Haruka made no progress in his cloud watching as they all seemed to just stand still.

Spooky.

He heard the bench squeak a little as a not-so familiar face showed up. Haruka knows the person, but the name escapes him. Intently staring for a few seconds, he remembers the guy clearly.

"Pervert-kun!" Haruka smiles, patting the guy on the back. It's been awhile since they last had a conversation. As long as he could remember, it was when they were both mutually under the abuse of the former Ice Queen, Pervert-kun taking the brunt of the hit with several kicks repeatedly, nearly killing the poor guy. Haruka got one glorious knee right in the nose and felt it for days.

"How've you been? It's been, uh... hmm, a long time, I suppose. You competing today?" Haruka was rather inquisitive today, or maybe curious was a better way of describing his jittery personality. He was actually a tad bit too excited for the trip he was currently on.

[Kuro]

Although it was a bigger place than he was used to, Haruki was able to have fun in Central Park. It was a great area for him to chillax before the upcoming World Circuit event. The young man of justice put his bag down as a pillow and relaxed in the cool afternoon.

[Helios]

With shopping bags from, The Hershey Store, The NBC store, Starbucks, Top of the Rock, and more, Hazama decided to go get some relaxation under the sunset sky. The time change affected him a little bit because he would only become tired at 1am in NY time.

I know the perfect place to go at this time of night, where everything is dim, but you can still see your surroundings, Central Park.

Hazama's knowledge of NYC was pretty great as he has visited five times, and lived just outside of the city for six months. He was so excited to see the reflection lake/pool, he failed to notice some of the people in the park.

"This is... amazing. It has been a while since I have seen you in your astounding beauty."

He gazed at the lake and the beautiful reflection it put off from the trees and the skyscrapers behind it. "I wish things could just be like they used to," he mumbled under his breath.

[Nobody]

When his "name" was called, Shiki jumped seeing how sudden it was. He didn't really mind the name, rather he didn't really care about it, or was too dumb to understand that it's somewhat insulting. The guy next to him talked as if he knew it, he even patted him on the back as if they were friends, well he just went along with it and smiled at him.

"Yeah uh.. I'm fine! And yes, I'm here for the World Circuit!"... "What about you?" he added, being really curious as to if maybe this is his opponent.

Shiki then reached into his pocket for a phone, remembering that he could technically phone Neu, and he really wanted to, wondering if she's in this too and how she is overall but there was one problem.. he doesn't really know how to use a phone, and left her number in one of those 50 other school outfits he had in his hotel room. Whoops.

[Jello]

"That's good! Err, yeah I'm here for the World Circuit too. Quite frankly, I'm not too forward to the first round opponent though..."

Haruka stretched out, sighing somewhat miserably. At least Pervert-kun responded smiling, meaning Haruka probably hadn't offended him. But he was curious if the guy had a real name he preferred.

"So, erm, what's your name?" Haruka asked, pocketing his hands. He left the empty can by his feet and began his inquisition. He was actually interested in the guy, not in the weird way, but because he actually helped him out once and then they never really formally spoke beyond that point ever. It was a bit discouraging to think Pervert-kun had ignored Haruka for a whole three months. Haruka frowned a little at the thought, but perked back up realizing he was still talking to the guy.

[Kuro]

As Haruki looked up at the scenery around him, he noticed a familiar face nearby. Hazama had just arrived at Central Park with shopping bags packed with things he'd recently bought in New York. The young man of justice got up to say hello, but he noticed that Hazama was more focused at the scenic view too and probably didn't want to be disturbed. He gave a friendly wave to the man instead, hoping to catch his attention in a calm manner.

[Helios]

Next, out od nowhere, Hazama sees a familiar face in the pool, as it must be coming towards him. Without turning around he says, "Well, is it isn't Haruki, 'the young man of justice'," adding sarcasm to that last part.

Haruki's greeting is nice and calm, with a gentle wave as if he was not trying to provoke Hazama to get all mad at him for some reason. "This is an odd place for a kid like yourself to be here. I'm guessing the only reason that is is because you have joined the circuit," he follows up with his back still turned against the boy. "Now what do you want?"

[Kuro]

Haruki was surprised to hear Hazama talking to him without looking at him. Perhaps he was still interested in seeing the great sights of the park. In any case, he came out with the World Circuit right off the bat. Haruki replied to answer his brief question.

"I was just relaxing here in Central Park before I had my first round in the World Circuit tomorrow. Checked the schedule for fights, and it looks like we're going against each other to start it out."

[Helios]

"Is that so? Well it will be interesting to see if you have grown, or that little baby I met three months ago."

Hazama is still staring at the beauty of the pool, as the last light of day fades away beyond the horizon.

[Nobody]

"The name's Akama Shiki." he answered, normally he'd be suspicious about people asking for his name, but he needed to give it out at some point so his opponent can know who he's facing.

Shiki yawned, stretching out a bit. Sure, he slept for almost the entire flight but he was still rather bored and in turn, sleepy. It was getting kinda late too with his opponent not in sight. He pulled out a scrap of paper from his pocket, looking at it. On it, "Noah Grimm" was written in barely readable handwriting, most likely Shiki's. He looked over at the guy next to him,

"So uh.. are you, or have you seen Noah Grimm?" he asked, is head tilted slighty to the left.
