Cross walked into the bar, her now, second favorite place to go. The first was the Allure. "Hey Freed how's it going?" she asked as she walked up and leaned against the bar.
"Want the usual Cross?" He asked setting a glass down with a raised eyebrow.
She smiled and shook her head. "Just give me a normal Coke." She said with a smile. She walked over to the juke box and started to mess with the music. "Hey!? What does everyone want to listen to?" She yelled without looking up.

Staring into the empty shot glass the girl named Sara felt pathetic. Here she was trying to be something big, something everyone could look up to, yet here she was little miss no one. And it was true no one even knew her name, Sara feared she would remain some nameless duel-est. Sad, her sweet face changed to a frown. Roughly setting the small empty glass down on the small table, she couldn't help but to sigh. Frustration, anger, and loneliness filled her instantly.
Finally letting her gaze look around the place Sara noticed an old man sitting at the bar, he looked smashed to say the least. He was smiling and slurring his words as he asked the bar tender for one more. Getting bored her eyes found something new to stare at, a girl older then Sara sitting a couple tables down. She looked depressed, what was up with this place. Did all depressed people come here? Geeze we are pathetic, finally a voice came to Sara. It was one of a girl, she had just walked in and clearly she was a regular.
Sara Sat watching the stranger out of boredom. Blinking slightly when the girl yelled out something about music, what did Sara listen to? Not even she knew that about herself sad huh?

Hotaru walked into Freeds feeling rather happy. She normally wasn't so bouncy, but that was before she was cut off from her friends for a few days.
She looked around the bar, one person caught her attention immedietly. The redhead jumped and ran in excitement as she ran into Cross and hugged her.
"Cross!!! Oh, goodness, I missed you!!" she yelled loudly. "H-have you see Jack anywhere?!!" she asked when she released her friend from thee hug, but quickly went back to it just a moment later. "I missed you!!!" she added one more time.

Akio walked into the bar in his usual outfit. He decided that if he stayed in disguise for too long people would beging to wonder. He didn't normally drink, and didn't plan to take a shot today. He only sat down at one of the tables and took out his deck. He spread the deck out on the table. He rested his chin on his hand as he stared at the cards.
Then he heard a question about what music they wanted to listen too. He didn't respond, he didn't want to be the voice for everyone else. So he simply went back to looking at the cards laid before him. He took off his hat after a bit because it was beginning to slip off anyways. His eyes looked back up at the girl at the jukebox. She resembled a girl that Tsu're had described a few weeks ago.
After a few seconds his eyes shifted back towards the cards.

Cross was shocked and had to hold onto the box to keep standing. She noticed who nearly tackled her. "Phoenix!" She squealed hugging her. "Where in the world have you been!?" she asked loudly. She hasn't seen her in a few weeks. Apparently she had been kidnapped, or so her sources told her. She glanced around to see a few people from the other clans. A girl at a table looking sullen and a guy who looked, from her angle to be in her clan. She looked back at Phoenix smiling and laughing happily.

Hotaru heard Cross' question and took a step back. She didn't think she was supposed to say anything about what all happened.
"Um, it's a long story..." she muttered sheepishly, scratching her head. "Don't think you'd wanna hear it." she then laughed off like she knew her brother normally would in these kind of situations.
"Forget about it, kay? What are you up to?" she asked in order to change the subject.

Sara felt out of place as the red head entered and cried out as she ran straight to the other girl. The dull bar seemed to become something more cheery, something more light. Letting her gaze wounder around once more she focused on a boy she seemed to have over looked. Cards fanned out over the table as he rested his head on hi arms, what was he doing? Instinctive her hand moved to her pocket feeling her own cards that rested in the smooth cloth. How long has it been since she had a good duel, To long.
Slowly she pulled out the cards, by chance Sara's favorite card rested on the top, Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon. It wasn't the most powerful yet beautiful. Slowly a smile found her lips as she stared blankly at the dragon.

Cross raised an eyebrow and then shrugged. "Okay!" She said smiling. She turned back to the juke box and started flipping through. She frowned not knowing what to listen to. She turned again and singled out two people who had their decks out. She grinned. "Hey! You two with the decks!" She called leaning against the box with a hand.
"Cross... Not too loud..." Freed said quietly as he handed her her soda. She chuckled and took it, then looked back to the black haired girl and the blonde boy.

Akio didn't really look up. He seemed to be in a bit of a trance. He stared at his deck, wondering what combos may be within it. The deck had quite the history. He built it as a child but the monks removed it from his possession because it used darkness and destruction instead of nonviolence. Finally he remembered what cards were used in it.
He then looked up at Cross, wondering if she was talking to him. "I'm not really here for the music...whatever I suppose." He looked back down at the deck. His voice was odd, it seemed to reflect bliss itself. But it was only like a happy calm before a great storm. When he talked, others listened. That was Akio's gift. Even the most insignificant things were almost always heard.

Jumping slightly when the girl whose name seemed to be cross attention turned on herself and the boy. The card fell out of her hand landing on the wooden table. At first the boy talked he didn't really suggest anything. But after his few word he continued to stare at the cards. Slowly Sara looked back at the girl and her friend it was clearly her turn to talk.
"I-uh I'm up for anything."
It shocked Sara how weak her voice sounded, she sounded so unlike herself. Usually she would be right up there introducing herself, but this mood she was in had her down. Picking up the stray card laying on the table she placed in back in her deck. And then returned the cards from where she got them.
Folding her hands on the table she waited perhaps she should go make some friends, after all Sara was the new girl.

Hotaru looked over at the girl, then the boy. She was laughing to herself, Cross sure had a way with words. She looked back at the blond with his deck out. Akio, wasn't it? Yeah, she agreed mentally, that was him. The redhead didn't know much about him, she had only met him once... maybe? For some reason, the Tora thought she had seen him another time, but she didn't know where exactly. That was gonna bother her later on, she knew it.
The redhead tried ignoring this as she turned to the girl. "Nice to meet you." she said. "I'm Phoenix." As she said this, she glanced over at Akio a second time. 'Where the hell have I seen him?!' she thought to herself.

Cross frowned. She was unsatisfied with the reactions from the two she had talked to. She narrowed her eyes and took a drink of her drink. Phoenix was already talking to the girl so she took the opportunity to talk to the guy.
She set her drink down on his table and put her palms down on it, looking at him. She smiled somewhat sweetly and somewhat intimidating. Hey, when Cross wanted to talk to someone new, she got them to. "Hi, I'm Cross!." She said smiling with a head tilt.

"Hello Cross, my name's Akio." Akio smiled and looked up at her. So it is that girl Tsu're told me about...interesting. "If you would like to sit down you may." Akio knew she wouldn't require permission, but he was raised as a gentlemen was. He still had that commanding voice about him, the voice of a leader. He stared at Cross's eyes almost as if he was staring into her soul. His eyes narrowed in an almost drunk-like expression, then he looked back at his cards.

It was clear to Sara her reaction was not what was wanted by the look Cross had. Finally looking back the the more quiet red head, Sara smiled as she introduced herself. Phoenix what a unique name, don't hear of many Phoenix. It was strange but she couldn't help but liking it. Still Smiling sweetly, she began to introduce herself.
"And I am Sarafina but please call me Sara, it's nice to meet someone. I really don't know anyone here, new girl syndrome."
As her rambling came to an end she stuck out her hand hoping to get the normal handshake response.

Hotaru smiled angelically as she shook Sara's hand. "I like that name." she said. She turned around after the hand shake and noticed Cross talking to Akio. "Hey, how about we join my friend over there?" she asked Sara. "If you're the new girl, you must meet other people now, hm?"
