(NYC) Field: Central Park

[NeoBuster]

"Well that was interesting" Neo said

As Neu walked off Neo couldnt help but wonder: "I wonder what shes thinking right now" Neo said

[Kuro]

"Well, alls well that ends well. Nice plays Seifer,and great fight." Haruki was happy to see the his friend was now a bit more at ease having used this deck against Neu. It was getting late, so he picked up his bag and said his farewells.

"Past midnight, huh. I guess it's time for me to head back and get some rest. Nice talking with all of you, and good luck in your upcoming semi-finals match Tsubasa." The young man of justice gave a friendly wave goodbye to everyone and began to walk to the hotel to sleep.

[OverDrive]

Tsubasa was surprised if not astonished by the cardfight he saw, to be able to control the kagero clan with such ease and even defeat Neu. Tsubasa was definitely impressed by the level of cardfighting that Seifer displayed, also to the fact that he found some closure from this whole situation.

"....He really did command that clan before..." he thought.

Before Tsubasa can talk to Neu the girl leaves immediately after the fight.

"...Why would she give him her deck tho...?" he thought.

"Well guys, that was a fun cardfight, hopefully we all accomplished what we wanted for today.." he said, still wondering about what seifer told him at the diner.

As Haruki begins to leave Tsubasa immediately says to him,"We need to talk tomorrow! but good luck in your match!"

As Tsubasa begins to leave he waves to his friends and hopes that they all accomplish their seperate goals after the events of today,"Good luck you guys." he says.

Seifer AF +4
Haruki AF +4
Neo AF +4
Neu AF +2

On his way out of the park Tsubasa crosses the one bridge located at the park, but he comes across a stack of cards left on the railings of the bridge, so he begins to inspect it.

"....This is........" he thought, as he begins to put the stack of cards in his pocket.

"...Hopefully you will come back Hazama." he says, as he continues on his way back to the hotel.

[Cipher Izanagi]

At the end of it all when everyone else had left, saying their good-byes, Seifer stood there for a few moments looking out at the lights reflecting in the water nearby. He stood quietly for a few moments before laughing and shaking his head. The fight had been fun, and he had indeed found some closure. It may not be soon, but he knew somewhere he'd see his clan again. To that end he felt calm again. Turning on his heel, he decided to head back to the hotel to get some sleep.

Tsubasa AF+4
Haruki AF+4

[Kuro]

Haruki was bored. He climbed a tree and lied on a tall branch. He thought.

He pulled some snacks out of his bag and ate them. He drank some of a water bottle.

He looked up at the sky. The stars probably wouldn't be shining tonight. New York was weird.

The sky was blue, but not really a sky blue. It was getting late and the color was changing. He still lied in the tree.

The blue continued to fade away. He grew bored of the place he was in. He didn't leave. Not many other places to go to anyway.

He dug into his bag and found a toy car. It took up unnecessary space for him, so he tossed it. It bounced off a lamppost and into a trash can.

He saw a bird fly into the tree. Many others had already, but this bird was closer to him. He reached out his hand to meet with the bird and it flew away.

Yukino got to take a few hours of fresh air while calming herself from magic craft until Neu appeared and unleashed hell on everyone's psyches. It came back to her too; the memories that wouldn't properly register in mind. They were late, considering she could fill in the gaps herself with what she has learned. They watched the masses flip out - she and Ezel on the bench. The lion compared their reactions akin to those lost in the nations as the heroes vanished. Seeing the culprit unveil herself in such a way meant that the end of the nightmare was nigh. The War of Liberation had declared clans as winners - the Champions were to gather.

The lion's arms were folded, Yukino's fingers were intertwined. They watched the chaos in calm silence, figuring out what to do next. One representative for each clan would be allowed. That meant they had to meet with someone... someone who was in a similar boat to herself.

One person who had Blaster Blade back in the past and tried to help her.

This was unpleasant to wait for.

[Kuro]

Haruki saw someone below as the bird flew away. He saw Yukino on a bench nearby, the person he knew from back home as well as the person that would have been his semi-finals opponent. He jumped from the high branch of the tree to land by her. Maybe she could be cool.

"Hey Yukino. How's it been?" He brushed off his coat after landing.

[Kisaragi Zane]

Walking aimlessly throughout the peaceful scenery known as Central Park, Jellal Kisaragi was captivated by the serene vibe of his environment.

"Hmm.. y'know, I wouldn't mind living here." he said to himself as he continued to leisurely walk through the park as the wind blew past his hair. He remembered hearing about a vanguard event being held in these parts, and wanted to check out the competition, as well as bettering himself overall as a fighter. However, upon arriving, Jellal went on a tourist spree, checking out what this place had to offer. Today happened to the first day that he managed to break free and just do some idle sight-seeing. He stopped under a shady tree, leaning on it while pulling out his cellphone and went down through his newsfeeds. After a brief moment of scrolling, he looked up into the trees releasing a sigh from his gentle lips. Lowering his head, something...or rather someone caught his eye. A girl on a bench, who's back was facing him. She had white hair and she had seemed to be looking down at something.

"White hair...? No way..." he said to himself confidently. But out of curiosity, he approached the bench.

[Cherry]

Yukino and Ezel noted the two people approaching them, seeing one was Haruki and one was Jellal. It had been awhile since seeing Jellal.

"Hey you two", the woman greeted, leaning back on the bench.

[Kisaragi Zane]

"I knew it was you..." he said while approaching Yukino. "It's been way too long, how're things?" He says while turning to see another approaching at the same time, Haruki.

[Kuro]

He finished dusting his coat after a couple of seconds, and turned to see another person by the bench. He didn't know the guy, so it wouldn't hurt to introduce himself while getting to know him.

"Hey, I'm Haruki. Pleasure to meet you." He gave a wave to the guy.

[Kisaragi Zane]

"Ah, pleasure to meet you, Haruki." Jellal said while extending his hand. "Name's Jellal Kisaragi." he said with a soft smile.

[Kuro]

He returned the polite notion with a handshake. Then he went on to ask a question that was probably on their minds as well.

"So, how about that missing clan business? You guys planning on bringing them back too?" A curious question from a curious guy. It was high time for something interesting to happen.

[Cherry]

"How are things? I think you can see from everyone's reactions", Yukino responded, looking at the questioning masses.

"Yeah, the clans are coming back soon", she spoke with absolution. Her avatars would return to their solid states, Haruka would get his Overlord back, and the clans would unite. Even with Royal and Shadow back, Ezel assured himself that Gold Paladin's place is forever etched into history. Like Narukami, it'll stay there.

[Kisaragi Zane]

"Oh right." he looked up at both of them while remembering his mission: to free the trapped clans.

"I haven't forgotten, I've just been... unsure how to go about it. However, I'm sure with my Aqua Force by my side, we can free those clans." he said with eyes filled with confidence.
