Cross says "Don't worry my forces have started repeating the damages."
 
Gogeta lowered his arms, finally powering down out of Super Saiyan Blue as he relaxed with a heavy sigh. His eyes started to wonder the card shop, tuning out the others at the name Hart Kimber. He leaned forward at the nearest shelf, lightly poking on the glass and accidently shattering it with a slight, surprised yelp.

However, he seemed to lose any momentary guilt or fear of the repercussions of the instance, Gogeta's attention span shifting again in reaching out and scooping up a card of Kassava. He blinked in looking over it a moment, holding up slightly above his head and studying the image, noting the silver eyes and hair that she had in the battle pose. He furrowed his brow a bit while the others conversed, and without making sure he didn't cut anyone off mid speech or even directing his question to anyone in particular, Gogeta blurted out his thoughts with a bored tone in his dual voice.

"Huh, what's a trading card game anyway?"
 
Brachi was also curious at that.

"Are those cards meant to be collected and traded in case you have two of the same?" She asked, while absent-mindedly wondering what those cards even contained.
 
Panich grumbled lightly as the photographs were taken, the pose of her leaned against the wall and scowling at the camera would surely make for a great card, at least in Kazuki's eyes. The princess then turned to Brachi and Gogeta at the blurted thoughts, "A hobby that weaker beings engage in to try and add meaning to their mundane lives. Exchanging paper until they're in possession of a rare piece of paper. An endless cycle and a waste of money."
 
“Ouch?” Kazuki responded to Panich’s comments. “I have you know, it’s a very competitive game in development around these parts!” Kazuki waved his finger. “No matter what world or reality we all yield from, trading cards have massive value to someone, especially if they look really cool. It’s bragging rights (and makes a ton of money for me). To put in bluntly, it’s a very strategic card game that has its own effects that shakes the game. Of course, it has wonderful artwork to accompanied it. I took upon myself to make this since I’m going to be stuck here forever, might as well make a living. And seeing all sorts of crazy beings out there, why not capitalize it?” 

Spina raised an eyebrow. “Uh, yeah, I got to agree with Panich on this one. This is all sound like a waste of time. But yeah, Cuki agrees, so let’s see this Hart Kimber chick and make her cough up.” Spina looked outside of the window, seeing that the damages is still present to a large majority of the city, with the Reality Police Force gathering up to figure out what happened to Panich, Gogeta and Brachi. “Yeah, let’s book it before they realized that we’re here.”

“Indeed. Let’s make haste.” Lucifer bowed towards Kazuki. “Oh, what’s the name of the restaurant?”

“McKnight Café.” Kazuki answered. “And please leave, I gotta make those cards, and I don’t want these clowns start fire on the entire damn world.” Kazuki jabbed his finger towards Gogeta and Brachi; although, he was slightly afraid of Panich due to her demeanor.

“Pleasure for helping us.” Lucifer exited the shop.

Spina walked past Cuki, seeing that she was holding the Zenta card. “If you want the card, just ask him. Make it quick though, so we don’t get caught up in something unnecessary.” He thought maybe if she had the card, she would find some comfort.
 
Cuki turned her attention back to the Zenta card in her hand, her cheerful demeanor changing once again to a serious one. Every time she glanced at the card, her tail began to twitch and her teeth gritted. For a moment, she bared her teeth, no doubt trying her hardest to hold back any emotion she might show. Her ears perked upon hearing Spina's suggestion and her gaze turned to a glare when she locked on to Kazuki.

"I'm taking this card," Cuki said as she cleared her throat. "It doesn't appear rare or valuable compared to the others, so I assume you wouldn't have a problem with me taking it, right? This is a very... interesting card for me. I'll repay you with more pictures later on, maybe."

Cuki's voice was low but serious, no doubt wanting the Zenta card above all else.
 
Gogeta blinked a couple of times throughout the explanation, staring at the card. He broke out into a small smirk, and chuckled to himself.

"The pictures do look cool! I think it'd be fun to try out this game!"

Tucking the Kassava card into his vest, Gogeta walked up from behind Cuki and placing his hands on his hips proudly in following up after Cuki's demand.

"And I'll take all of your best cards too! I wanna be the best at this card game, so give me all of your strongest cards!"
 
Bernkastel stood on her tiptoes to see what card Gogeta was looking at out of mild curiosity, her mouth pressed into a thin line seeing it was Kassava's card. Scanning the shelves from where he had picked it out, it turned out there were a lot more like it-- but it didn't have her name on it. She figured that there must have been more to what ended up being broadcast than she thought.

Peeking from the cover of Gogeta's body practically towering over her own, she gingerly reached into the shelves and plucked a card out from the rest of the display to look at it. It also was a nameless common, but she knew who it was; nobody else could pull off such a ridiculously pink attire with tacky candy charms. Lambdadelta probably would have thrown a loud fit about how her card wasn't covered in holographic ink. Maybe even change up what the cards showed just to spite the ones who did. Without a word, she slipped the card deep into her sleeve. Card game or not, it would be a nice keepsake at the very least.

"You have such a flimsy sense of priorities, you know..." Bernkastel remarked. "Why play a card game that's just a cheap imitation of the real thing? I give you ten minutes before you forget you even bought them."
 
Cross thinks "I shooed check the stock portfolio once the these kids have to take down time. Kazuki may make money but odds are I shooed be able to make a bit being an investor." 

Cross says as a matter of fact "it beats some the attentive time killing methods. Regardless we shooed get going and decide on how we are leaving."
 
“Uh, sure. I won’t give you the best cards, but I’ll give you packs. You can come by next time when you aren’t destroying the city again.” Kazuki said. “Those are common ones anyways. Barely any information on them, so they’re irrelevant to me. Plus, since you guys graciously provide me photos for this, I’ll take that as payments.” 

Kazuki opened his drawer and gives Gogeta and Cuki a deck of cards, unaware of Bernkastel and Gogeta placing the cards they saw in their pockets. “You might get a rare card, but not the Breakers. You just have to wait until the new editions.” He smirked. “When you come back, perhaps I can teach you two a thing or two on how the game works?" 

“Hey! Hurry it up, we got to go now!” Spina shouted. “We’ll let Cross teleport us over there, so we don’t attract any more attention than we need.”

“Oh, Spina. I think them finding a good hobby is a great way to kill time. Don’t you have one?” Lucifer asked.

“No.” Spina retorted. “I don’t have a hobby. That just mindlessly wasting of time and effort.” 

“Oh?” Lucifer rubbed his chin. “Everyone has a hobby... Well, we need to head towards McKnight Café. It’s on the other side of the city… so that’s probably around the mall. They have all kinds of restaurants and mom and pop shops.” Lucifer stated. “Cross, once these people come forth, teleport towards that location.” Lucifer was curious about Cross’ mysterious ways. Seemingly, he harbors a similar energy of Bernkastel.
