Stress Reliever at a Cat Cafe - [Tats|Open]

Karin is in her personal heaven, stroking bellies of the cats, their neck and their fluffy fur as they purr about. The foods here are rather overpriced, but she doesn't mind. All for the sake of relaxation, all for the sake of able to touch some cats... She's a really big cat lover anyway. Karin was smiling happily, "nyaaa~n"-ing now and then as she played with the cats, giving them treats until...

...All of them gone, surprised by the appearance of an unknown guy. Karin's eyes widened as one by one her angels (?) gone from her personal heaven (?), slamming her down back to earth. Her expression darkened, so does Jeanne's. She's really tempted to have a go at them if not for Jeanne suddenly lifted a cat who's yet affected by the sudden appearance of the unknown angry stranger to Karin's face.

"Look, Neko-nyan," she pointed out.

Karin's expression immediately softened into pure bliss yet again as she accepted the cat and stroked it, with the cat purring contently.

"....OK, first, who the--- nevermind, you're that barbaric in-training. I told you I don't like conflict in public place because there'll obviously victims among innocent, if you remember... but now that it come to this, honestly, aren't you some ridiculous guy who's slave of his anger, attacking people's leisure time out of nowhere, in crowded cafe meant for relaxation from stress even? Now that I know the case, it's seem last time Charles is in the wrong side and we intended to apologize for that... but now that I see it, you only affect other peoples collaterally with your uncontrollable anger!" the holosuited digimon glared at the black haired holosuited mon. "I know you have problem with us, but keep that anger in check, E**n J****r, before you drag your tamer to even bigger problem than a fine from a cafe!"

Jeanne facepalmed at the other digimon's reaction to her words. Honestly, honestly...

"...I guess I really understand why Ayaka really annoyed with you... Listen, I know MUCH better to not pick fight with someone's stronger than me, and like I said, I HATE fighting in public place, and the only THREAT you'll got from me is actually NOTHING because it is FACT that both you and your tamer would be KICKED OUT from here, not by me but by the owner of this cafe for disturbing the peace. Now do you understand? Human world and ours are different."

"...Jeanne, just stop already. Talking with him will get you nothing. OK, I know this is already moot, but honestly, you have to excuse her. She hates when people fighting and involves everyone around... Her choice of words was poor back in 104 because her emotions acting up. It's not supposed to be like that. Please, just... well, have a seat if you want... but try to keep that guy in check. Enough ruining the day already. I'm already stressed after all things happened in Digital World and now THIS happened, no, just no."

Karin's definitely much calmer when there's a cat around, and looks like the one cat on her lap purring contently, too. Looking at that, two other cats hopped to the table beside her. It's like she's quite popular with cats afterall.

"So you meet that midget, huh? Well, it's surprising that you know my boyfriend, too... how many of us have you met? Well, that's not important... Listen, we're sorry, you're right about Charles Ashmore. My alignment isn't him and Mana, it's merely Mana, so back then, I just don't want her date to go bad... and as for her here..."

"...My sister got killed because someone jumped unwantedly. If a fight broke out, then... Mana would be in danger," she muttered bitterly.

"...There you have it. Plus point, that sister is Mana's brother's partner. So do you understand, looking at a dear friend and sister suddenly got deleted in front of you? She does reborn, but... there's just something missing about her... That's why, we're those types that doesn't like it when fight about to broke out... I heard what Charles is from Mana, and honestly, last time we saw by our own eyes how crazy is his spirits. We apologize for our threats, but we deemed our action is right. Should a fight break out, it'll be a fight of gigants and not even Jeanne would be able to fight that."

"Even though he's not a pet nor a little brother that need some sort of reins, he should watch his words, honestly. Isn't it the logic to keep someone out of trouble when he or she is your accomplices?" she asked back, sipping her drink while stroking the cat on her lap. "I know we're weaker, but that doesn't equate that we're not someone who no-one should respects. That's the deal, respect us, we'll respect you. Also, I'm talking about Koutarou here. He's the midget, not Dorumon. Well, that aside, I see you've meet quite number of us. One left then. I don't know who Aria is, honestly... who?"

The Digimon beside her simply watches the conversation to unfold. She's the type that would prefer 'to be silent if there's nothing good to talk', which equates to basically, she's having murderous thoughts right now because to her, the duo here is equal to that suited guy and his bear. What with unable to control him? Controlling him and making him stay out of the trouble? Controlling is a bit too much, she agree, but... These kind of guys just made her felt disgusted.

However, her eyes immediately turn murderous when the other digimon touched the very sensitive moment of her life. Karin's eyes also turned the same way. Full of hatred, full of killing intent toward the barbarian who just couldn't close his big mouth!

"...I might not kill you in your sleep, BUT HIM, I'LL DEFINITELY!!"

A small crest appeared on Karin's neck, but the difference is it swirls with darkness. Momentarily, the Darcmon's figure has replaced by Black Gallantmon X.

"What do you know...? What do you know about us? What do you know about how we deal thing? You think you're the only one with that kind of view? You don't see the thirst of revenge that we have accumulated in this body? If gaining power is as easy as flipping your hand, then I bet I'll just purge this world from all those kind of selfish guys who just don't see how much their action affected another!!" Karin barked. The cats around her ran away in fear.

Karin looks visibly calmed down after that and put a hand on his face, raising a hand before Tatsuya could ask her anything else. The crest on her neck now gone, but it seem to be really tiring the biracial fourteen years old. Karin slumped on the table for few seconds before sitting normally again. Jeanne still glaring angrily at the other Digimon, but it's clear that none of them wanted to fight.

"...Just don't talk about that day again... Of course she knows it more than anyone... Digimon's personality won't get better just by getting reformatted... if any, they would retain all their memories... The same thing applies to Jeanne. She's... she's betrayed by those who called themselves her comrades once."

"...That's why, don't tie me to other Darcmon, because that's just plain stupid. I have no affiliation to any Darcmon, Yggdrasil or anyone from above. I'm me, a knight who serves my mistress, simple as that. Tying me to other angels would be the same as tossing salt to a slug instead of a snail. Similar, but in all, very different," the angel in disguise told the other mon.

Karin sighed once more. "...Well, then? Anything to make the mood better?"

"Servitude is a funny word to describe our relationship, Dorumon. I'm not a servant of my mistress, that's not the exact bond between us... you can say it's of a mercenary to a contractor... We both get benefit. She can get the safety and companion... while I can get the power. I don't blindly serve her, and she doesn't blindly give me order while at it, so more or less, trust has formed between us... That's just how it is. And because I'm without any sort of concrete aim myself back then, I'm simply tagging along... until that event happened, but that's for other time."

"As she said... Anyway... it's a strange thing because she doesn't approach me, but I do. There's a stream of data that seem to come from a Digimon that doesn't want to be betrayed for the second time... I... I guess you can say it's like a kindred spirits getting acquainted. Well, that's the very same day where we meet a guy named Duffer with his Kotemon and a guy named Yuu, Mana's brother and his partner... Kyo."

"...It wasn't a nice story because I'm just still a bitter woman who wishes they leave me alone.... but they just have no desire to. Kyo was exact reverse of me... kind, cheerful, and never giving up. She's always able to see the best of everyone, but... She's killed several days afterward. She does indeed reborn, but..."

"She's no longer the same. And basically, we're out for killing someone who's responsible, who attacked only because he got some strength.... to kill such innocent Digimon mercilessly...!!"

"He is," come reply from the blond angel in disguise. "That's the man. But he's gone for a while right now... Neither me nor Mistress know where he is currently, but basically, we're chasing him to kill him... also, to kill someone who started it first by playing hero. Whoever it is, like I said, I hate those so called irresponsible fighting and all like that... I'll toss myself to the flame if it means that my comrade will be saved... and not 'comrades' like whatever those angels from Luminas or whatever that city is called said, but comrades as who has gained my trust significantly."

Jeanne took sip of her tea before looking at the cats that previously ran away in fear. They seem to be over it now that they began to nuzzle Karin's legs again. Feeling the soft fur on her legs, Karin suddenly relaxed and looks very much in bliss.

"Uhu...uhuhuhuh... nyaaan...~~"

"...Looks like she's not in mood to talk... Either way, like I said, we're not out for punch, but to kill. Do you understand? That's our current desire."
