Searching the Big City [Maia/Invite]

    Watching the scenery pass by, Maia certainly didn't seem bothered by how late it was becoming. It wasn't like night time had ever really affected her sleep schedule, anyway. That was the perfect time to play video games, after all! It was probably a good thing that she had told her dad where she was going to be, though. Who knew how long they'd be searching for the firy rookie?

    Speaking of rookies, Kuu had finally settled down into the front of Maia's jacket. With an occasional twitch, it seemed that the Kudamon had managed to fall asleep while on a motorcycle! At least he was comfortable.

    "Oh, it's fine," Maia reassured, speaking over the rumble of the vehicle. "It's important that we find him." If it were Kuu that was gone, Maia would have hoped that someone would help her find him, after all. She definitely wouldn't let someone search for their partner alone! Even if it took more than a couple hours!

    At least Marshal's driving wasn't nearly as terrifying as Maia feared, all things considered. Hadn't he mentioned that he didn't really know how to drive one of these things? They hadn't died yet, so he must just be a natural! Or have some semblance of common sense.

    Did common sense apply to not wrecking a motorcycle? Probably not.

    With the bike returned to the digivice -- which was a very fancy feature, Maia had to admit -- the girl found herself just as lost as before as to where to even begin. With Kuu still mostly asleep in her arms, she began to glance around. "Did he have any place that he really liked?" Of course, she had been there the day that the duo met. There couldn't be that many secrets on Coronamon's favorite places in the Digital World, could there?

    "What about places from before this life?" A groggy fox offered input, while trying to shove his nose up his tamer's sleeve. She was so warm! And Kuu was so... capable of fitting up a jacket sleeve! Or, at least, he was when he was awake. Still mostly in a dream? Not quite as successful.

    Trying to think of some sort of encouragement, while juggling the rookie between her hands to stop him from falling during his attempts at a hiding place, Maia couldn't think of much more than, "well, we can't just give up."

    But, with attention drawn to someplace else, the girl found it hard to think of further consolations. "It is," the blonde breathed, partially in wait for some sort of meltdown from Marshal. But, he was keeping it together pretty well! "Maybe, when we find Coronamon, we should all come back and eat there?" That sounded like a fantastic idea. After all, it didn't feel like Marshal and Maia had done much together, on the lighter side of things, in quite a while.

    "Is it breakfast time? I like breakfast!" Oh no. The talk of food had properly awoken The Fox! With a little huff-sneeze from tickling his nose on his tamer's jacket, the Kudamon rapidly began climbing up her arm to sprawl across her shoulders. "What if Coronamon's in there? I mean, he's got great taste! And breakfast is great! I think we should eat!"

    Maybe Maia liked it better when he was sleeping.

    "Yay! Breakfast!" Kuu seemed contented by this promise, after flailing his paws around and almost hitting his tamer in the face. At this point, Maia hardly seemed phased by the creature's rapid movements. It was weird how people could get used to things that used to be insanely overwhelming! Perfect example being a fox on a constant sugar high!

    Following Marshal down the streets only felt discouraging. Had no one seriously seen Coronamon? How were they going to find him in such a large world?

    It wasn't even Maia being the pessimist of the situation, as the Kudamon sniffed the air every few steps. He had a good nose! With any luck, even a hint of a trail would appear! Except, it wasn't. "I don't sniff him, here," the fox informed, ears flattening. His nose rarely lied! But, Terminus was a big city, full of a lot of smells. There was always a chance! "Are you sure he'd be here?"

Marshal was kind of starting to freak out. He got his motorcycle back out and hopped on. "Let's keep moving," he said nervously. "We'll find him. I know we will." The three of them shot through the streets for a while until three familiar face caught up with them. Marshal slammed on the brakes and jumped off immediately.

"Colin!" he shouted, running over and hugging the younger boy. Normally, Marshal wouldn't do something like that, but there was no one else he could've been more overjoyed to see in that moment. Well, except for Coronamon, of course.

Colin explained that he knew where Coronamon was and that he was waiting for him. Marshal almost cried he was so happy. "What are we doing here?" he asked. "Let's go!" He got back on the motorcycle and revved the engine after soon realizing that he and Maia had never met! "Oh! By the way, this is Maia and her partner, Kuu! They were around for my first day in the Digital World. Maia, this is Colin and his partners, Luke and Bellamy! Coronamon and that Impmon are kinda dating."

Colin was fairly surprised when Marshal's reaction to meeting him was to hug him, but, he patted the older boy's back. If he had been without his partners and met a friend that might lead him back to them, he'd be pretty glad to see them too.

"Hold up..." Bellamy said, the Impmon gripping his knees as he panted for a moment. "Where did you get that motorcycle from and where can I get one?!" he asked Marshal.

"Bells, this isn't the time for this!" Luke told his brother, but admitted that motorcycle looked pretty awesome. The three paid attention as Marshal introduced them to Maia and Kuu.

"Heya" Colin said to them, giving a wave. Heh, Kuu looked pretty cute. So Marshal had been friends with them since they first arrived in the digital world? That was pretty awesome. Colin and his partners thus trusted them pretty quickly.

Bellamy snorted at Marshal's introduction of them. "Heh, 'kinda'" the Impmon scoffed. As far as he was concerned, they were dating pretty fragging hard. Kuu seemed excitable about this concept though and began to ask eagerly about it.

"Well I dunno about sharing spaghetti but he sure spills a lot of it around him" Luke drawled. Bellamy elbowed him in the ribs in a 'This isn't the time for loquatious wit' way.

"Heh, I guess we'd be up for breakfast then" Colin said, smiling. "Anyway, we should head to the airship bays. My mercenary Daedalus is there and he should take us to Whitewater".

Bellamy was about to respond to Maia that yeah, Coronamon was pretty young and inexperienced in a lot of ways, but was prevented from saying this when Colin excitedly began to drag them back toward the airship bays. Presumably their trip from there would be to Whitewater.
