(GSE3) House Field: Seifer Leo's House

[OverDrive]

The events of last night were now a blur in Tsubasa's mind, he remembered everything including the fight and Yukino against Seifer's reversed mind, but he could not remember how he found himself asleep on a couch, he probably collapses after some time. He got up washed his face and put on his signature black jacket again, and began to slowly get his focus back, he noticed a note stuck to the fridge, it was from Yukino, she wanted all of them to contact her.

He immediately pulled out his phone and sent her a quick text, "Hey, Something you need from, I was surprised you left so early this morning." -Tsubasa

The next few minutes involved some gasps and screams and the entrance of Darren in the house, to which Tsubasa stepped in and waved to Darren as a welcome, "...Hey Darren, glad you're doing ok as of now.." he said, seeming somewhat tired, considering he just woke up.

He decided to make the guys some breakfast, sandwiches came to mind, and maybe some juice boxes if Seifer stocked up on them.
"...Gotta help get everyone's energy up, last night was truly something.." he thought, as he began making the sandwiches.

-fast forward a few mins later-

Once done he took out a few plates and got the breakfast ready, he went to Seifer's room with two plates and two juice boxes, and left them on the shelf of the bed, it was evident that Rosalia seemed scared like she's seen a ghost, but he did not want to do too much so he only left her with this much , "...Listen, last night is over Seifer is better now and you're one of the reasons for that..give yourself sometime to relax." he said.

Returning to the couch he went up to Noel and Darren, "..Listen I made some breakfast, so help yourselves if you want, though Noel can you go check up on Rosalia...she may need it, once you're done just come down and meet me here I need to talk to you.." he said, as he went back to eat his breakfast, taking out his deck and staring at Zenith, "..We will save our friends....Zenith.."

[Cece Lockhart]

The smell of breakfast felt good. Right on time since hunger started kicking in. Everything that happened yesterday was so fast that Noel forgot to eat. Things started to look like things was going back to normal, even if that feeling was within the house. She tried to keep what happened in her dream to herself a little so that the others won't worry about her. Too much has happened in the past few hours that adding something else to it wouldn't be a good idea. Especially if some sort of comforting peace has been established.

"Well, you aren't Reversed anymore so no need to think about it anymore. Just have a seat and relax, we will need all the energy we can get. Although if you can remember anything on how it felt, you should talk about it when everyone is here."

Noel went and served herself the food Tsubasa prepared. She sat down in the table and started eating and tried to clear her mind from her fear of that dream. She took her deck and pulled out her copy of Ashlei. Noel stared at it hoping that by seeing it she can find an answer or a plan on what to do next. That was when Tsubasa asked her to talk to him when she was done. I wonder what he wants to talk about? I'm pretty sure it will be something about what's going on right now...

She got up and went to him, "What do you need to talk about?" Noel still held on to Ashlei and continued to stare at it

[NeoBuster]

Neo took out since phone and sent a text to Rosalia.

Its Neo. I know whats wrong with Seifer. But I rather meet in person to tell you what it is. Where can we meet?

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren saw the house was so active. Tsubasa was making food while Noel was comforting him, even though she seemed to be the one that needed the comforting. He went to the kitchen and took a sandwich. He didn't even know who's house this was or who's food he was taking.

"I actually remember more than most would about all of that..." Darren said lightly. "But for now I'll just say that I'm ready to make up for what I did... and what I tried to do. I spent all night working on a new deck."

He looked around for a moment, then said, "How're you holding up? After I came back to my senses I got really worried about you. I'm kinda glad you didn't see me like that." He couldn't help but laugh a little, only because he was glad to be with a friend at a time like this.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia glanced up when the door had opened, seeing Tsubasa drop off some sandwiches and a juice box. Guess they all could use something to eat to get ready for the havoc they were dealing with. She only nodded slightly in return and watched him leave, taking a bite of the sandwich with a sigh. Seifer is better now?... Why do I feel like there's still more to all of this... She sipped at her juice when her phone vibrated, tilting her head as it was a text from Neo. Does he know something about Seifer that the others don't?... Tsubasa and Hana didn't tell me much as it is... and Noel I think is just as clueless as I am... If he knows, then maybe... I can do something to be useful...

Hey Neo. And um... Its crowded here at Seifer's house... Let's meet at the park. I'll be there shortly.

After sending the text, the female finished up her meal, and threw it away quietly into the trash can in the bedroom. But after that, she opened the door slowly, praying it wouldn't creak in the slightest, while listening around the house. It seemed the kitchen was clear... Rosalia took a deep breath, then headed out the back door, moving around the house before running down the street towards the park. I'll be back, I promise...

[Cherry]

"Tsubasa, I need you at the Training Facility. You'll be required to help manage our growing forces."

[OverDrive]

"I'll let you know when I can make it." he replied.

Having finished his breakfast Tsubasa relaxed on the couch, as he turned to Noel, now that Rose had left in a hurry it was only fair that he told her what he wanted to tell her.

"..I just wanted to understand something...this may just be me guessing at things but...yesterday, while Seifer was struggling you said something strange.." he said, while trying not to sound too forward.

"..I know it's not my place to ask about this, but could you tell me what your relationship with seifer is like? I've known the guy for a while and for a long time I had no idea he had a sister." he said.

Aside from being curious he wanted to understand her a bit, it was in his nature to try and help his friends, and Noel has earned his friendship as of now.

[Cece Lockhart]

Noel sighed because she knew that eventually people had to know her story and her relationship with Seifer. I guess I should talk about it... might help me in the end. I trust them all now, they are good people...

"My relationship with him is kinda complicated. We share the same mom, I came after to who is my father a year after my mom and his father went their separate ways. They didn't talk to each other but my mom always kept in contact with Seifer. He was his first whom she loved very much and wanted him to be a part of my life as much as possible. It sounded easy but my father in particular isn't the greatest person in the world. In some things, he is considered a genius and successful but is really a egocentric tyrant. He only thinks about himself and will use anyone or anything to get what he wants and will look down on those he calls weak. Father would trample over them, even worse if there are people who are family but don't share his blood. He forbid any type of contact with Seifer but my mom somehow managed to sneak me into seeing how to spend time and play together. I mean, we are siblings, why would there be a reason to keep us apart." Noel felt relief talking about her life, even though her past isn't a good one with how she lived it but it just felt good talking about it with someone else.

"One day, father found out what mom was doing and punished us severely for it. However, that same day, Seifer gave me Ashlei. He taught me how to play Vanguard a little and ever since then, I tried my best to learn the game since I knew that if I got good at it, I might one day meet with him again. I hate my father for making me lose contact with Seifer. Despite all the technological advances his company made and how much success he has done and contributed to society, he is the worst person in the world. 'Weakness is a sin' is his favorite thing to say to those who he sees that are below him. He always pushes me extremely hard even at my break point and calls me weak and shameful for not being able to keep up with all the studying I was forced to go through."

Noel started to derail from the actual question without her knowing, she just kept rambling on about her life before coming to Rijuku. She didn't live the life of a little princess living in a wealthy castle, no. She lived the life of a slave being molded into a tool that can continue the current flow of things. "Sorry for going off topic, but anyway, Seifer and I look out after one another and always did things together. He always seemed indestructible in a lot of things so I always tried my best to keep up with whatever he did so I can one day be on equal terms with him. So when we lost contact, I started thinking, what was his current life like? What was it like out of the prison walls I called a home? What kind of adventures would Seifer had in the 'normal' world? It made me so curious and when I heard he lived in this city, that was when I made arrangements to come here. I think I answered your question and more didn't I?" Noel laughed a little but then sighed looking back at the original copy of Ashlei that she had.

The house was quiet, too quiet. That was when she realized something, where was Rosalia? "Something feels off, where is Rosalia and Seifer? I know they are in his room sleeping but the house feels very empty...

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren listened to her story. It sounded so sad that she had to deal with a father like that. What's worse is that she couldn't be with any family or anyone that understood her until she came here. He sighed as he remembered thinking he was alone. Noel must have felt much worse things. "I'm sorry..." was the first thing he could say to such a tale. "My parents are always busy with work, even the person I live with now is the same, but I guess that's not as bad..."

He then blinked as he heard her mention Seifer and Rose. "Wait, Seifer has a room here? Rose does too? Who owns this place, anyway?" He had never been told where he was going outside of an address so this was news to him. "Its weird that I haven't seen either of them all this time if they live here... Where are they?"

[OverDrive]

Tsubasa listened to her story fully, feeling a huge amount of remorse for her situation, he knew what it felt like to lose family members though for him the loss was permanent and unretainable.

"..I see...now I understand..it must be hard to get back in touch with your brother or your family after all of that.." he said, as he began to comapre the situation to his own.

She felt trustworthy so he told her his story, "..I can kind of relate to your situation...though for me..I can never go back to my family...they both died in a house fire when I was only 8 years old, I was not there in the house to do anything...I blame myself for it everyday..because of that I had to isolate myself, I had to make sure that Haruto my younger brother would be ok, he's all I have, unfortunately for a long time I felt ashamed of facing him...I could not spend time with my brother because I knew that no matter what I did I was guilty for his loss...but that changed..after my friends helped me..they showed me how to fix my issues, through my actions, and thanks to that I was able to face my brother again. It was as if our bond had never severed..I think the situation is similar with you and Seifer, you're more connected to him than you think." he said, as he began to smile. "You have friends now, and Seifer, so i'm sure you'll become even stronger, maybe then you could show your father that Weakness really is not a sin."

With that Tsubasa rose from his seat and began walking to the door, intending to go find Yukino due to her message, "I'll see you soon Noel." he said, as he waved goodbye.

Noel +3AP
Darren +2AP

[Cece Lockhart]

"I'm sorry to hear that. At the amusement park you two seemed to have a great time together so I'm glad you two can spend time together like that. I'm a little envious honestly for that. I wish Seifer and I can just hang out like that someday... and as for my father, I really doubt it. I would have to get even stronger than what I think I am now to even dare have him change his mind. Alright, I will see you later I guess, don't let those Reverse freaks make you into one of their own!"

Noel grew suspicious as to why the house was so silent. The comfortable peaceful feeling disappeared and now all was left was hollow emptiness. She checked Seifer's room to see that both Rosalia and Seifer were gone. WHAT?! HOW?! WHEN?! NO!! I HAVE TO FIND THEM!!

"Darren!! We need to get moving!! Rosalia and Seifer are gone!! I have no idea when they took off but we need to find them! I'll go check the shopping district!! You go to the park!! Let's go!!"
Noel dashed out of the house and ran towards the shopping district. Please, please, please!! Be safe, I don't want to lose you guys!! Please make it on time!!

Tsubasa +3
Darren +2

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren was so confused at how fast things were going. One minute he was talking about past things with Tsubasa and Noel, then next he was being told to go to the part to look for Rose and Seifer. She wasn't wrong though. They had to be found before a Reverse Fighter caught up to them.

Darren stood up and grabbed the bike he took from the Training Area. He would need it if he was to get to the park in good time to find anything worthwhile.

Tsubasa +2

Noel +3

[RosaliaIzanami]

As long as her cards were okay... Rosalia only nodded slightly, shutting her eyes with her head resting lightly against Seifer's shoulder/chest as he walked. She almost laughed when asked "if or when she wanted to be set down", save for the fact it would hurt if she did. She would be lucky if she could stand at all, let alone walk from the shopping district to their home. As the bit of time passed during the walk, some of the pain started to subside, the female on the verge of passing out, or sleeping, in the brunette's arms. Why can't I remember... What happened... I went to the park to meet.. someone... and then... nothing... until Seifer picked me up in the shopping district... Was it something to do with the invaders that the others had mentioned?...

[Cipher Izanagi]

Seifer's door was unlocked, thankfully. Man you guys really need to lock his door though when you leave his house. In any case the male pushed his way inside shutting the door with his foot. Carrying the red head into the living room, he tenderly set her down on the couch with a pillow under her head, and walked into the kitchen, rustling through the cabinets until he found some pain killers. Taking that and some of her favorite juice to her, Seifer lightly handed her both, sitting on his knees at her side.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia didn't wince as much as she was set down, though sitting up to take the juice and pills was a bit tiresome. It was like she had been awake for over a week straight; everything just felt empty. At least she didn't drop the juice, handing the glass back after finishing it off and taking the painkillers. "T-thank you..." she whispered softly, relaxing as much as she could. She wanted to sleep, but kept her eyes open enough to look to her companion. "C-can I have my cards now?..."
