Love and Friendship (Eva, Invite)

Post by Dante on Sept 8, 2016 3:07:03 GMT
Another lazy day at the Palladino house. Well, lazy for Dante. Judith has big plans with friends today. While Dante lays back on the couch watching reruns of old sitcoms, Judith is in the bathroom styling her hair. "Hurry up, Wormmon! We don't wanna be late." Wormmon comes crawling down the stairs wearing a towel around his head like he just got out of the shower. "Okay, Judith. Just a few more minutes." Dante groans in disapproval. "I don't know why you've gotta hang out with the Handsome Boys. Those pansies only care about how big their harems are." "You're just jealous because you're single and lonely. Kano is totally the most amazing guy ever!" Judith holds her hairbrush close to her face, with stars in her eyes, daydreaming about the record setting swimmer.
Judith and Wormmon finish getting ready. Judith has her blonde hair done up in two buns, and she's wearing a yellow tank top and black shorts. "Are you sure you don't wanna go?" "Heck no. Enjoy hanging out with those tools. Keep an eye on her, Wormmon!" "You've got it, Dante!" Judith fills a big travel mug with coffee. Wormmon climbs up on her head, and Judith walks out the door. "So where are we going first? Karaoke? Chicken Hut? Arcade?" "Not today. We're going to the Digital World." A non Tamer traveling to the Digital World was uncommon, but at least she has Wormmon with her. She was kind of like a second Tamer to the Worm King, after all. Judith drives over to the Trailmon station, and eventually the two make their way to Terminus City.
Judith and Wormmon arrive at a sushi shack ran by Shellmon. "This is where we agreed to meet. The Handsome Boys are coming, and I think Eva's going to be here too. We'll eat some sushi, and then we'll hit the town. Oh, I'm so excited! Kicking it in the Digital World, while my idiot brother is at home laying on the couch! Oh, I wonder if Kano will like my hair." "Oh, I'm sure he will." Wormmon plays with Judith's hair buns like a set of drums. "Hey, cut it out! You're messing up my hair!" "Sorry, Judith. I hope the Handsome Boys brought some of their fangirls with them." "Even if they did, I doubt they will be paying any attention to you." "Aww, no love for the Worm King." Judith takes Wormmon off her head and gives him a big hug. "Ahh, you're squishing me!"
Meanwhile, Dante is at home watching TV. He finishes eating some chicken he heated up in the microwave. "Ohh, still hungry." Dante checks his digivice to see where Judith went with Wormmon. He sees Wormmon's signal heading towards the station, and suddenly disappears. "No, it can't be... Judith went to the Digital World?! Who does she think she is? This can't end well." Dante goes outside to smoke a cigarette.

Well, this was indeed where she agreed to meet up. Some sushi cafe in the digital world. Seemed like a nice enough place, although being from the UK, sushi was something the digimon had never actually tried despite being in Japan for a couple of weeks at least now. To tell the truth, Eva had lost track of how long she had been here, and frankly she didn't care. It was faaaaar away from people who would want to do her harm, in the end that was really all that mattered.
She was slightly early to arrive on location, so she just stood outside the building smoking a cigarette. She wasn't entirely sure on the digital world's rules regarding smoking, or if any other digimon even did that, but she figured that the same rules would apply here as they did to the real world. No one wants secondhand smoke after all.
A quick look at the clock on her HUD showed that she was still five minutes early on the dot. She wasn't even sure why she agreed to this in the first place, the first impression the "handsome boys" gave was for the most part not a good one. They had an obnoxious boy band look going for them, not to mention their pretty damn creepy pervy attitudes.
There was one that didn't seem like an absolute arse though, but last time Eva encountered him they got to exchange very few words before a big German amazonian did what Eva had wanted to do and decked what she presumed to be the leader, and not to mention the creepiest one, right in the face. Maybe she'd get another shot at that today? Maybe that's why she agreed to this? Who knows.

Judith and Wormmon continue to wait outside. Wormmon sees a Renamon smoking a cigarette. "Ooh ooh, that's her! That's Eva!" Judith walks over to Eva. "Hiya Eva! This is Dante's mean, I mean nice and pretty sister Judith." "Pleased to meet you. Wormmon told me all about you." "Ya! She's got all these cool guns and robot powers! Oh Eva, go invisible! Say something like a robot!" Wormmon was acting even more hyper than usual. Maybe because Dante wasn't around. "So you know the Handsome Boys? Aren't they so hot?! Red's got that hair, but Kano's got that swimmer's body."
The Handsome Boys arrive at the sushi shack. Digimon stop and stare at the four metro boys that look like a boy band. There was Babi, the bad boy rebel quick to anger, wearing a leather vest and ripped jeans. Kano, the well built athlete with slicked back bleach blonde hair, wearing a tight white shirt and even tighter blue swimming trunks. Leo, the soft spoken nice guy with medium length dark greenish teal hair, wearing a grey untucked school uniform. And their leader Red, a tall, too cool for school cat with long black hair, wearing a black shirt, red and white jacket, with silver jeans and a leather belt with a gold buckle.
Judith tosses Wormmon in the air and runs up, giving Kano a big hug. Wormmon shoots a silk thread to the roof of the shack and hangs there in mid air. "Hey, watch it!" "I take it you are happy to see me, Judith." "Of course! Did you miss me, baby?" "Like a fish on land misses water." "Ugh, I think I'm gonna be sick!" Leo politely walks up to Eva. "Hey Eva! It's great to see you again." Babi leans over to Red. "He's doing it again." Red shoves Babi's face away. "Chillax. Remember what we talked about. We are all here to have fun." Kano and Judith start making out. "Oooo-kaaaay..." Babi looks shocked. "Okay, not that much fun. Save it for later." Kano struggles to pull Judith away from his face. "Let's get some sushi."
Back at the Palladino house, Dante is outside smoking a cigarette. He's worried about Judith being in the Digital World. And with the Handsome Boys, no less. (Thinking) "I hope Wormmon and Eva look after Judith. Who knows what those nancy boys are up to. Let's see, what to do today. Can't hang out with Shirou. Rob always ends up getting kidnapped. Shi's still at the hospital. Huh, I'm so lonely." Dante puts out his cigarette and goes back inside. He washes his hands and takes off his smelly long sleeve shirt. One of the downsides of smoking. "Maybe I should have gone with them. No, Judith needs to learn she's gotta stop chasing dirtbags like Kano."
Dante is so bored and lonely, he actually wants Wizardmon to show up. The crafty wizard often watched over their house to keep tabs on them. Dante opens up the kitchen window and sticks his head out. "Hey Wizardmon? You wanna hang out today?" No reply. Disappointed, Dante closes the window and grabs a popsicle out of the freezer. "I've gotta find something to do."

Eva finished up her cigarette, stubbing it out and putting it in a nearby bin. She didn't recognise the other woman who suddenly started making out with Kano, a man with terrible fashion sense, right there and then. In fact, they pretty much all looked ridiculous, between Babi's leather vest, and the aforementioned Kano who was for some reason wearing an outfit that was more suited to the swimming pool rather than a day out on the town.
Luckily there was one person from the group approaching who didn't seem like a total moron. Or at least, didn't seem like it so far, who was for some reason wearing a school uniform. Wasn't like Eva was dressed particularly sharply either, usual hoodie and jeans for her, but at least she didn't look like, well, a cheesy member from some crappy boy band that had no musical talent yet everyone for some reason swooned over.
"Hey. What was it you wanted to talk about before?"

"Let's get something to eat!" The gang goes inside the shack and orders plenty of sushi. Kano and Judith sit down next to each other, and Leo and Eva sit down next to each other. "No, this isn't going to work. I don't want any hanky panky while I'm eating. You two switch places!" Kano and Leo switch seats. "Oh thank Goddess!" The gang happily stuffs their faces with raw fish wrapped in rice and seaweed. Wormmon noms plate after plate of sushi. "So, where should we go next?" "I figured we could hit up a few places around town, then go out on an adventure." "Nom nom, sounds fascinating! Nom nom nom!"
Judith and Kano play footsie under the table. Kano accidently bumps Babi's foot. (Thinking) "Ughh, this is going to be a long day." Red finishes his sushi, then slumps back in his chair with his eyes closed, killing time until the rest of the group is finished. Wormmon accidently eats an entire packet of wasabi, burning his mouth. "Ahh hot hot hot hot!" Kano splashes Wormmon in the face with a glass of water. "Ahh, much better." Leo starts making small talk with Eva. "So how did things turn out back at the valley?"

Eva looked down at this strange food. It was raw? Wasn't that just asking for salmonella? The others didn't seem to think it too unusual, as they were starting to eat theirs no problem. She picked it up and examined it, raising a brow. Wasn't exactly fish and chips. The others seemed to be dipping it in various sauces. The soy sauce she recognised, however there was some green stuff there that she wasn't exactly familiar with. Maybe it was sour cream and chive? But... really heavy on the chive?
She decided to try this stuff anyway, curiosity winning over the concerns about food poisoning. She even dipped it in that "sour cream and chive dip" before popping it in her mouth. The sushi actually tasted pretty damn good, much better than she was expecting... But then the mystery green sauce hit her tastebuds. Hard.
Safe to say, it was -not- sour cream and chive. Not even close.
She tried to keep a straight face, but, that felt like the hottest thing on Earth! Luckily she had a drink, a tall glass of coke. Which was now very much gone. It was so hot she had to down the whole damn thing, wiping her brow with her napkin, before looking towards Kano, who just splashed Wormmon after he had a similar reaction.
"Don't even think about splashing me as well."
The cyborg did manage to compose herself, and turned to Leo to answer his question. "We managed to eliminate a hostile dragon with minimal injuries. I took a good hit from its claws, but, I also shot it right between the eyes, so I think I came off better."

Even after Wormmon suffered the spicy wrath of the wasabi, Eva's curiosity got the better of her, and she tried some. The soy sauce I can understand, but seriously, what is up with wasabi? Does it even taste good with sushi? The spiciness is not worth it. Leo is a little upset he was not around during the battle against the dragon. "I'm sorry, sounds like it was quite the battle." "We were going to come back and teach that Amazon a thing or two, but fixing Red's teeth was an immediate priority." "Hahaha, you sounded so stupid, Red!" Red slowly raises his head and opens one eye partially, glaring at Babi. He didn't have to say anything. Babi could tell their leader wasn't too thrilled.
The group finishes up their meals. When it comes time to pay the bill, the Handsome Boys have their own way of deciding who pays. "Alright boys. Let's see who's going to pay this time. Go through your phones, and count all the phone numbers you've gotten from girls. This past week only!" The four pretty boys go through their phones, tallying up the size of their booty call lists. "16! Must've been a slow week." "16?! How many fangirls do you need? My Kano only has eyes for me." Kano goes through his phone. "28." "What?!" "Hey, it's complicated! Don't read anything into that." Judith is outraged Kano has been picking up floozies behind her back. Red scrolls through his contact list and counts the phone numbers. "32. It all comes down to Leo. What do you got?" "Ughh, 14." "14?! Aha haha ha haaa!" "Only 14 phone numbers in the last week? You didn't do much better, Babi."
Leo pays the bill, and the group exits the sushi shack. "Well, where to next?" "How about the water park?" "Oh sure. Kano wants to go somewhere with lots of water. How surprising." "I think the water park is a great idea." "Ya, let's go to the water park! Maybe some cute Digimon in bikinis will be there." "The little green thing has the right idea." "But the water park is all the way on the other side of town!" "No worries. We will get a ride over." Red hires a Greymon with a large wagon to taxi the group to the park. Everyone gets in the wagon, and they slowly make their way across Terminus City in style. Well, some kind of style.

"You could say that." Eva finished her last sushi roll, making a mental note to come here again. Plus a digital one, with a waypoint saved so she could easily find this place again. Sure she didn't have any satellite maps of the digital world, but it would still point her in the right direction.
Soon the conversation got to who was going to foot the bill, and it seemed like these people had a rather novel way of finding out who was going to pay for it, and somehow a way of making themselves look like even worse people than they already had in the past. It seemed that even Leo, a person the cyborg had thought wasn't as much like the others got involved. The rambling about the super high numbers got an "are you bloody kidding me?" look from the digimon. Judith's reaction to the ridiculous booty call count though almost got Eva to crack a smile, something certainly rare for the cyborg.
The conversation changed once again, to talks of a water park. Fortunately, Eva's cybernetics were designed to be worn 24 7 seeing as they were grafted into her skeleton and jacked into her nervous system, meaning therefore they were designed to not short or malfunction in water. "Sounds good. Guess we will have to hire a taxi to get over there."
Turns out they did, but this wasn't exactly the typical cab that you'd find in the human world. I mean sure, she wasn't exactly expecting a London black cab, but this was completely out there. But hey, at least it wasn't a talking train like she encountered before. She still wasn't quite sure about the idea of sentient locomotives. "Is this a normal thing around here? Also, I'm going to need to get a swimsuit if we're going swimming. I have the same figure as a human so, shouldn't be too hard for me to find something."

After a bumpy ride through the city, the gang reaches the water park. Red thanks the Greymon by tossing him a piece of digi meat he had stored on his digivice. The only thing standing in their way is a long line. Once inside, the gang makes their way to the beach shack to buy some towels and bathing suits. Not because they forgot everything, but because they didn't know that they would be going to a water park in the first place. "Another shack? Boy, there sure are a lot of shacks today." Everyone browses around for a brand new overpriced bathing suit. Except Kano, who was already wearing his trunks. What a jerk.
Even though Wormmon really didn't need a bathing suit, he still bought a pair of orange swimming trunks, and a purple two piece top just because. Red goes with a long pair of black and red trunks, and buys a big floppy hat and sunglasses for good measure. Babi goes with a different approach, buying goggles, and a pair of tiny black speedos that show off just how pale his backside is. Leo buys a pair of green and pink trunks that look like they were designed based on a watermelon. And lastly, Judith walks out wearing a gold and black two piece bathing suit. All four boys and even Wormmon's jaw drops at the site of this golden goddess. "Should we find a place to sit?" "Uhh, ya. Let's go, do that, thing." Even with the impressive size of their harems, the Handsome Boys were still left awestruck by Dante's half naked sister.
Speaking of Dante, what was he up to right now? Sitting on the couch, trying to find something to watch. He gets up and grabs the ice cream out of the freezer. He opens it up, but there's only like half a scoop left. "Wormmon!"
The only questions left were, what is Eva going to wear, and how would Leo react to seeing all of her cybernetic implants? Babi had long suspected Leo had a thing for her, but no hard proof to confirm Leo's bizarre fetishes. Maybe Babi was just being insecure about his own kinky interests. The Handsome Boys don't seem to get along very well. It's a good thing Red kept them in line, or they would have probably ripped each other's hair out long ago.

It was certainly convenient that this place sold trunks and the like, but of course it seemed that you still paid extra for convenience here just like in the human world. Nonetheless, she soon found something that wasn't too expensive and in the right size, a simple black one piece bathing suit. Nothing all that showy unlike a lot of the other's outfit choices, just something practical, convenient, and most importantly cheap. Well, cheap considering the massive markup this place was running at.
Despite this swimsuit being far more conservative than most people here's choices, it certainly still showed off the full extent of Eva's cybernetics, her arms and legs completely replaced by precision engineered human made black limbs of carbon fibre and titanium clearly designed with human anatomy, and certainly very different from what a Renamon would have naturally.
There were certainly hints however, that there was far more work done than just the limbs and eyes, hints of Eva's skeletal modifications for instance could even be seen in a subtle shape below the skin, required to fit the machinery to the digimon, to keep it secure and to ensure it was more than capable of withstanding combat stresses. Another thing of note was the large NanoWerx Industries logo on her left shoulder, with the tagline under it reading "Making the future less predictable."

Seeing Eva wearing a one piece suit with so many of her cybernetics showing was quite shocking. Leo and Babi were left speechless, having never seen a Digimon like this before. "Wow, whoever designed all those parts must have really been trying to accomplish something." "Maybe creating a one Digimon killing squad." "What's the matter boys? Feeling a little insecure?" "Eva's got it going on! Hoochie mama." The gang finds some tables with umbrellas to set their stuff down, and everyone splits up to go to different areas.
After riding some water slides, Judith and Kano go back to the tables and lay down on some beach chairs to soak up the sun. "Judith, can you put sunscreen on my back?" "Why don't you get one of your floozies to do it?" "Come on, are you really upset about my bootie call list?" "Of course I am! Girls want to feel special. Not just another piece of meat for your male ego contest." Kano sits down next to Judith and rubs her back. "I'm sorry, it's going to be different from now. You are the only girl that matters." "Really? Aww." Judith gives Kano a big hug. Kano sees some women in bikinis walking by, and watches them while they walk. "That's right, it's all about you."
Red heads to the giant hot tub and takes a dip. He sits down and closes his eyes for a while. When he opens them, a heard of girls is surrounding him. "Oh, come on!" Babi is over in the wave pool, shoving people out of the way to have more room. Wormmon rides down a long narrow water slide, and catches air at the bottom. His tube crashes down into the water. and Wormmon bounces up off the tube, landing on a sunbathing girl. "I wanna go again!" Wormmon jumps up and crawls back over to the pool to get his inner tube. He leans over the edge and falls in, struggling to stay above the water. "Swimming sucks!"

Eva looked to the group, simply shaking her head at their reactions. Honestly, she hadn't expected any different, but the "one digimon killing squad" comment hit a nerve. She gave Babi a solid glare. No matter what NanoWerx had done to her, she refused to see herself as that. She steadied herself, bottling her emotions up once more and resisting the urge to punch the guy in the face despite him really doing nothing wrong. He deserved an explanation at the very least. "They are prototype cybernetic "augmentations" designed for human use." She paused, looking down at her hand, slowly clenching and unclenching the cold mechanical facsimile of a human's before looking back up at Leo and Babi, sighing. "I never asked for this."
She started walking off at this point, going into the pool. The cybernetics seemed completely unaffected by the water as she started swimming to burn off the excess stress. Not only did the cybernetics work fine in the water, the enhanced strength was allowing her to pick up some pretty decent speed. Nothing insanely quick but certainly matching what a human in peak physical condition would be able to do.

The gang continues running around the water park. Wormmon floats around the lazy river on an inner tube, wearing shades and drinking a smoothie with a little purple umbrella. "Ahh, this is so much better than battling." Kano and Judith are splashing each other in the pool. Kano sees some hot girls walk by. He dunks Judith's head under the water and stares at the girls. Judith comes back up and splashes water in his face. "What did you do that for?" Not knowing what to say, Kano plants a kiss right on Judith's lips. Judith instantly forgives Kano and wraps her arms around him.
Leo and Babi are going down a water slide in a two person raft. When they get out of the water, a beautiful girl is standing there waiting for them. "Hey baby, can I interest you in a ride?" "Actually, it's him I am interested in." The girl grabs Leo by the hand and she drags him over to the hot tub where Red is relaxing. Leo sits down in the hot tub across from Red. "Thanks, beautiful. Leo, I have summoned you here because we need to talk." "Ya, sure. You're the leader." "It has come to my attention that there is something going on between you and Eva." "Oh, you don't have to worry about that. We're just friends." "Yes, well see to it that it stays that way. We don't need you chasing after Digimon tail." "Come on, Red! It's really not like that at all. She's a fascinating Digimon."
"Alright then. As long as we are on the same page." Two girls sit down next to Leo and rub their hands all over him, like a kid in a cotton candy machine. Meanwhile, Babi is back at the tables, eating some French fries. "She's interested in Leo?! What's going on? The ladies love me! I should be landing way more babes than that pushover!" A fat woman in a two piece walks over. "Hey there, cutie!" "Uh oh, uggo alert!" Babi jumps up and runs over to the hot tub. "We've got a code red! Uggo alert!" "Quick, get in the hot tub and put your arm around some ladies!" Babi gets in and joins the Handsome Boys' giant cuddle party.

Eva was away from the group for now, but from what she saw of them at the pool, their first impressions they made back at the canyon were still holding up just fine. Just doing laps was getting a little dull, perhaps a cloaked splash ambush would liven things up some? She looked around, eventually finding Leo and Babi. Target locked. Ah wait, it seemed they were busy. Especially so for Babi, as he was very busy being denied.
That was even funnier than a surprise splash attack. Or perhaps not, but her cloak was still engaged and working just fine. A normal splash wouldn't be enough though, when you have the ability to become virtually invisible you have the opportunity to cause all sorts of mischief. Of course, Eva isn't usually the one for such mischief, but when boredom strikes hard like this, sometimes that's the only option.
Perfect. To Babi's left was a pirate ship looking decoration, with slides leading off it and several water cannons! She hastened towards it, moving as quietly as possible to avoid possible detection, quickly reaching one of the water cannons and taking aim. Still she waited though, reticule firmly locked onto his face for the perfect time to let slip and unleash the dogs of war!
Finally when Babi was looking towards the fake ship, he'd notice the cannon move slightly... And then WSSSHHHH!
