(GS3) Camping Trip - Camping Ground

[Jello]

Bright and early it was. Haruka had gotten up, making his first cup of tea for the evening. Two sugar packets and a hot cup of tea later, Haruka was out of his tent and getting an early morning jog off. He didn't really mind changing out there since nobody was watching, and all he had to do was change shirts and pants anyways.

After switching from a flannel to a class-colored T-Shirt and sweatpants, Haruka grabbed a bottle of water from his backpack and started stretching for his jog.

Haruka felt his spine crawl on the way down, trying to reach his toes. Morning chill most likely. He started his jog around the camp; one mile and he was done for the morning.

He paced well, having to walk for half a minute at one point. Afterwards, he proceeded to lay down by the campfire area. It was morning so the fire was already out, but it was close to his tent so that was nice too.

There was a certain something that Isabella had never though of til now. This could be part of power abuse somewhat, but at the same time it is part of an idol's forest survival tactics. Not a standard one, but it works for Isabella. She realized that she wasn't really able to pack up mirror, and usually to coordinate her whole outfit along with her hair, she would need a full body mirror. Today she decided tie her hair into a ponytail while wearing a black crop top with blue jean shorts. She then used her power to make an image of herself to act as a makeshift mirror. Looks good and great.

Time to start the day.

She sat back next to the tree and tested multiple decks next to each other. Her current problem at the moment lies with Angel Feather being behind the others. Bermuda Triangle was in the lead as always, but it is her main clan after all. Cardfighting herself for these tests were strange, but truth be told, she does need more variety. Testing against a retiring deck or something would work.

"Put me in the deck that's why!" Nociel groaned.
"Nice joke!" Hana laughed.

After the early morning Vanguard practice, she took a few members of the Cardfight Club to do her idoru circuit training with her. Many thought it was easy and went along with it, only to stop after the first circuit while Isabella kept going for nine more rounds. After the rigorous exercise, she had to carry a few members back to their tents due to them almost passing out. Oh, the great outdoors.

By the end of it, she sat among the center along with the dead campfire. Folding chair came in handy.

[Spectre Diamond]

"Seems like you work them out to much." The underground king jumped off the tree branch he was on and landed on the ground on his feet.

[Hope]

Is there something that she missed. How high was that tree branch even? Yes, she definitely missed something. There was a strange feeling coming from the deck that she just build. For now, it may be crazy enough to work. Australia-kun talking about working "them out too much" was kind of ironic since he was king of the punch town an unnecessary comical violence. The weirdest thing is that he's a high school student. Japanese high school students can do anything nowadays it seems.

Isabella laughed at the thought, "Well physical fitness is important, not so much Cardfight-wise, but in general... Well maybe in Vanguard in some cases...  Anyways, how have you been? Liking he trip so far?"

[Jello]

"Too... Loud..." Haruka sat up, seemingly from the depths of the deepest darkest sleep. Assuming Haruka was actually sleeping at some point. He was skygazing, but also sort of dozing off anyways.

"What's this about working out? Oh, finally checked out my biceps huh?" Haruka chuckled a bit, sitting up. Haruka was also fully aware he wasn't built up or really even muscely. But he wanted to make the joke. He had to.

It was his destiny.

[Spectre Diamond]

Hikaru then sat down on the ground in front of Hana has he grabbed his decks from the different pockets of his coat. Hikaru seemed to have a flair for multiple pockets, not that he minded. "The trip has been good so far, got to test some of my decks while on the trip." He opened a dark blue deck case as he skimmed through it. 

He saw Haruka came to the nearly empty camp site as he commented on his non-existent Biceps.

[Hope]

Isabella waved one of her decks from her bag as well. "I was able to test out two of them yesterday, now I got two more to go. This one is slacking, so I am kind of iffy on it... haha!" Isabella let out a laugh.

"You don't believe in us!?" Nociel commented.
"You're the reason why I don't!" Hana jabbed.

Speaking of jabs, Haruka looked like he sniffed too much great nature. Getting up in the clouds over the Neo Nectar should be a cause of concern, but seeing how he was talking about his biceps and was showing self-confidence and positive self-esteem for once, maybe the dank forest leaves weren't that bad after all.

She turned back to Australia-kun to continue the conversation, "Hmmm... so are you up for a fight?"

[Jello]

Unamused was the best way to describe Hikaru.

Hana was also pretty much unfazed by his comment.

"Sheesh, at least laugh a little bit. So what's this about deck testing and the like-, oh, Hana, I forgot to mention. Butler-san let me borrow his Nova Grappler deck. Not gonna lie, its pretty nice." Haruka chimed in giving a silent, 'hoo-rah.'

Seems Hana and Hikaru were going to be duking it out. With cards anyways, its sort of important that be made clear considering both of these people are just as capable brawlers as they are Cardfighters.

"Ooh, this'll be good."

Assuming Hikaru accepts the challenge.

[Spectre Diamond]

"Yeah I up for a fight Hana." He grabbed the dark blue deck case and got the deck out. Placing the starter down on the ground.

[Cece Lockhart]

Somewhere in the forest, Noel slowly started waking up. She didn't realize that she passed out again, probably mistaking it for sleeping. How long was she out? It's clear as day when it was night time when she was "sleeping." Did anyone even notice she never came back to the camp site? Unanswered questions that she probably won't know until she finds the answers. Noel's vision was a bit blurry for she was still waking up but she saw a figure in front of her as if on the lookout. The figure looked very familiar, a woman with silver armor and light brown hair holding some staff with a sword on her hip.

"Sa....Salo...me??" Noel said still half conscious and when the figure turned around to see her, it vanished before Noel could see her face. Was that... that can't be possible... She thought trying to figure out what just happened and as she got up, Noel accidentally hit an oddly low tree branch on her head. "ARGHHHH!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD?! HOW DID THIS STUPID THING EVE--No.....no..... EEEEEEEEK!!!" Noel stopped dead in her thoughts and went from angry to scared and back to anger because a lizard fell on her shoulder. "Ba....ba....BAKA!!!!!! DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!" Noel then grabbed the poor lizard and chucked it far into the forest.

Noel gasping for air from her anger/fright started making her way back to the camp site. Yes, Noel LOVES nature

[Skyzlimitz]

Sky sighed, after his fight with Hana he felt exhausted and went straight to sleep after telling her good game. Since he couldn't afford a tent Sky slept on the grass which he should be used to. But after finally getting a mattress and becoming so accustomed to it Sky's back was killing him. His back pain however wasn't what was bothering him. What was currently bothering Sky was his deck. Somehow even though it was much stronger than before it felt...incomplete, or like it was time for it to change. These feelings rose to surface during his fight with Hana. She seemed to have such a connection with her units and while Sky felt close to Blaukluger he did not think it was the same as Hana's connection. Sky was staring at his Blaukluger thinking of possible reasons why he felt this way when all of a sudden something strange happened. A Huge shadow was cast above him and as he looked up to see what was causing this he saw

. "Blau.....Blaukluger?!"

 Sky couldn't believe it why was his avatar real?! Why was it here?! Is anyone else seeing this?! Sky bllinked and as quickly as Blaukluger came it was gone. Sky's mind quickly had to rationalize what he saw. "I must've not gotten enough sleep." Sky said brushing his experience off as a hallucination, or daydream as he began to walk around the campgrounds to ensure everyone was present and accounted for, after all he is one of the chaperons.

The Underground King fought with a combo that used Miracle Beauty's standing abilities along with Original Saver, Zero's break ride skill. A dangerous combination should the opponent be unfortunate enough to see it pulled off while they're at 5 damage. The match came into Isabella's favor as the Celestials worked perfectly, getting off every combo and even getting advantage through Danielle's skill. In the end, Zerachiel's dangerous full field power up and a double critical as this was a twelve critical deck won the game.

"Naisu Faito!" Usual standard fighting suffix.

Isabella sat back down and congratulated her deck, but also acknowledged that the Underground King wasn't just a regular fighter as well. She remembers him using Nova Grappler the time prior, but he was known for Dimension Police, the Zeal build specifically. She thought to herself, sitting back for a moment.

"Hmm... don't you guys feel like we're missing someone?" This was directed at Australia-kun as well as Haruka who was seemingly as high as the clouds still.

She used Star Gazing to scan over the forest. Looks like Noel was making her way back to the campsite. She seems to need help yet not really. Waiting is fine. This is fine.

[OverDrive]

Last Night, Tsubasa had noticed how tired Neu was, more to the point how late it had gotten. The messiah needed sleep as well, but more than that he cared for her, so instead of keeping her more awake, he pat or on the head, "Not right now, you need sleep, so that tomorrow we can fully enjoy this trip." he said, smiling as she slowly fell asleep.
__________________________________________________________________
The next morning, Tsubasa had woken up feeling a lot more refreshed, he immediately pulled out his phone and sent a message to Yukino,"Seifer wants to talk to you, so let me know when you're free to chat."
With that he put away his phone as he waved to the familiar face of Sky was passing by checking up on everyone..."I should probably do that...", he thought.

He walked over to the area that had a campfire lady and saw that Hikaru and Hana were cardfight in also Haruka was watching, "Hey guys, good morning, you guys sure don't waste time." he said smiling, as he sat down next to Haruka and watched the fight.

Upon iit's conclusion he congratulated Hana and inquired about her last statement,"There's someone missing?.." he asked.

[Spectre Diamond]

"I don't think were missing anyone. What makes you say that Hana." He unconsciously clutches on the pendant he is wearing. 

[Jello]

"Mooorning!" Haruka waved over to Tsubasa, offering him a bottle of water.

"Missing? Noel didn't come to the late night fights... Neither did Seifer I don't think. That's all I can think of." Haruka took a gulp of water and giving out a satisfied breath of air.

Haruka decided to check up on Yukino really quick however. He wanted to make sure she was doing well without him there. She seemed awfully disappointed about him leaving.

"hey yukinoms, when u get this, let me know whats up? just checking up~ tell me how your day yesterday wuz mayb? -haru"

He hit send and went back to Tsubasa.

"So how'd you like my fight against Hikaru last night? Pretty epic right?" Haruka nudged him, trying to get his attention. He wanted at least someone to not think he was high as the sky right now.
