Traversing under a bright light that forced his eyes shut, in anticipation, Issei's fists constricted themselves as he swallowed the knot in his throat. Preparing for the game ahead – no, about to begin as they moved from this realm onto the next. Leaving the Gremory estate and traveling via teleportation magic to the playing field. The whole world had fallen quiet as darkness pervaded his vision, not a word leaving the mouths of his teammates, as every last one of them, till their feet hit new, solid ground: remained silent. 

Till, Rias woke them from their collective trance as she calmly spoke, "Alright everyone, let's see what – Wait?" As he opened his eyes, Issei widened them in complete shock as he stumbled back from the group circle.

Looking around to make sure he wasn't seeing things, the young man quickly did a one-eighty as he exclaimed, "Hey, doesn't this place look like a bar? Like from one of those westerns??" Creaking his foot on the back of the old furnished wooden floors as his hips bumped into the side of a table, Issei stepped away as Kiba corrected him.

"It's actually called a Saloon, Issei," ok, wonderful Issei thought, but that still doesn't explain why they were in there.

"Yeah, yeah, I get that. But I thought the field would be somewhere normal?" Looking around, running his eyes up the dressed walls which were mounted with either animal heads or famous cartoon characters for some inexplicable reason to Issei, he found it strange that they would possibly be fighting in a western recreation.

Glancing over, he spotted Koneko and Gasper walk across the maple white floors and take a seat at one of the tables, likely waiting for, as his eyes scanned across the bar – Akeno to find whatever she was searching for – as wait! Where was Rias? Doing a full three-sixty as everyone just seemingly began moving on their own, not daring to question why they were thrown into the wild west for their freaking Rating game, Issei began heading to the dark almost oval-shaped glass door as – it swung open, and nearly slapped him in the face, causing him to shriek!
