Renamon studied the toy with great detail when Satsuki handed it to her.She flipped it around as she looked at it and then back around and looked at the screen. She gave the screen a tap with her nail to see if the egg would respond. She shook her head as the nail clicked on the screen and finally passed the toy to Katsura.
Renamon looked up at Satsuki when she started talking again and blinked. A con? It was hard to play along when she barely understood what Satsuki and Katsura were talking about. Still she was thankful at least when Katsura jumped in to help her explain her appearance. "Yeah, I was heading to the con and got lost," She silently hoped what she said didnt contrast too much with Katsuras previous statement and shot a glance toward Katsura. "Do you know where it is?"
Renamon shifted anxiously as she waited for a response. Had she known asking Katsura would attract Satsukis attention and put her in such a difficult situation she wouldn't have asked. She would have wondered around like usual until she was on familiar ground. She resented the Blackgatomon at this point for being so small and easy to hide. No one would question the small digimon that looked like a stuffed animal but a digimon renamons size? That was a different story entirely.

On the bright side Katsura could confirm that Satsuki was indeed destined to become a tamer, given that she already had the digidevice and it seems like her egg was inside the digidevice this time. The bad news was that Katsura couldn't just make up a con especially not for a digmon so oblivious to the human world. She couldn't clue her back to the digital world either since Renamon already toned that suggestion down when she tried.
So Satsuki wants to know where she's from as if her worn out school girl uniform couldn't tell it ahead, "Greater Shibuya" Then Katsura got an idea, since Satsuki was so adamant to be their guide and knows a location, why not let her? "I'm sure she knows, so lead the way?" Katsura lied, having no guilt over sending Satsuki on what will likely become a wild goose chase. Now Katsura just hoped that Renamon won't make the lie more complicated than it already was. As experienced in manipulation and scamming as Katsura was, even she knew that she couldn't keep this up forever if Renamon couldn't stop asking her to come up with more details.

As Satsuki watched the two girls seem to examine her former Tamagotchi, she couldn't help but feel a bit... flattered? It did feel awfully nice knowing that someone seemed to take an interest in something of yours, regardless if it wasn't suppose to look like this. "It's actually supposed to be an old-model Tamagotchi, but it sorta... changed overnight. No idea why, but it's neat-looking at least. Wish it bloody well could work again though..." She'd state, eventually taking the toy back and pocketing it away.
So from what she could tell, the fursuit girl was going to Greater Shibuya? Or were they FROM Greater Shibuya? No, that's not likely. Not like anyone could have afforded such a high-quality fursuit there. Like, the damn thing's tail even moves! That's gotta be worth something.
Still, Satsuki could help but express her disliking about hearing such an unsightly area. She's heard many bad things about that place, and while she HAS been there; it wasn't a place that she was particularly thrilled to be at ever. "Ugh, Greater Shibuya? That place reeks. I heard it's like filled with weirdos and gangster."
Still... why did the short girl know that? Were they actually related or something? Friends? She felt like alot of details were missing here, though she wasn't exactly determined to dig too deeply. "So you two know eachother or something? I mean... I guess that actually kinda WOULD have been nice to have known a bit ago." She'd say, her tone getting a little sharp for a moment there.
While she wouldn't have been thrilled with the prospect of going to Greater Shibuya at ANY time of day, there was the fact that it was getting late today. People did WEIRD shit late at night, especially around there. These two girls were REALLY making it difficult for her, but she had already offered to help. It'd make her look bad otherwise, so she masked her displeasure with an awkward smile. "Th-this is fine. As a model citizen, it's my civil duty to help others. If one of you knows where to go, that's fine... but it's getting dark out soon. It's safer for people to be in groups at night over there, so I'll accompany you two!" The blonde-haired teen seemed to be quite pleased by being allowed to serve her role as a guide.

Renamons tail flicked again in annoyance. She would have had a better time trying to find her way on her own. Hell, she probably could have wandered through all of Downtown Shibuya and found her way by now. She gave the Blackgatomon a pointed glare, making her envy for him known. This situation was gonna drag out even longer now that the girl had offered to guide them through Central Shibuya.
Renamon gave a small huff and her ears drooped. "It would be saver that way, and you probably know the area better than me." She straightened herself and waited for Satsuki to lead the way. Maybe she could dissapear somewhere during the tour of Central Shibuya. She didnt want to leave the girl in danger though. Shed have to suffer through it, she just hoped Katsura would do the same and continue helping her.

Katsura sighed at not only the prospect of going back to Greater Shibuya, but listening at Satsuki's rant about danger only made it way too obvious that she wasn't used to these areas. Katsura would actually be safer in Greater Shibuya without Satsuki or so Katsura felt. Katsura shrugged when Satsuki asked them if they knew each other, because they actually didn't but on the same time she did not feel like saying too much. It looked like Renamon was getting annoyed and Katsura couldn't blame her, not even for wanting to get out of this guided tour, she just didn't have the heart to break Satsuki's confidence let alone causing an accident. Seeing that Satsuki is going to become a tamer anyway meant that it didn't matter as much if Katsura ended up exposing the digital world to save Satsuki's mind when he stepped wrong. In Katsura's mind it was not an IF but a when.
For now Katsura followed Satsuki around in a quest to not crush her pride well-aware that Katsura was likely the most qualified guide around.

A dark figure watched from afar, hanging upside-down from a light post, with a broad grin. "Ooh, this could be good." It remarked, mischievously, stroking it's chin with one hand, while the other hand was loosely dangling, though the palm was facing towards the small group, as his eyeball was located there. Once he was done with his exaggerated pondering, his other hand dangling once more. "Wonder what some lil' ol' tamers like them are doin' out here, in public?" He tilted his head, swinging up to the top of the post, his tail uncurling from the post, as his body transformed into a small swarm of bats, each with equally broad, if smaller sized, grins. They all chattered incessantly, as they separated, surveying the group from afar.

Satsuki tried hard not to scowl at the two girls, not getting an answer from the two. Guess not, huh? Oh well, she'd not fret about it. "Well, let's hurry along now. We're burning daylight people!" She'd say in a falsely chipper tone, motioning the pair to come along.
Luckily, the girl knew a few direct routes that would lead to the underbelly of Shibuya. The trio eventually left the more populated area of Downtown Shibuya, reaching the outskirts of Greater ShibuyaFewer and fewer people were wandering about as time went on and the night sky began to take root, something that honestly Satsuki was relieved about. She hated crowds, so it felt a bit more relaxing for there to be less eyes watching. Soon, it was only the three of them walking about.
Of course, she was oblivious to that the group was being followed... Not that she knew that of course.
It wouldn't be long until they were now in the more rundown neighborhoods of Shibuya, a slight shiver going down her spine. The place was even creepier in the dark than she expected... but she refused to back down yet. Not after having offered to help.
God she hated being a goodie-two-shoes at times.
As she walked, taking an occasional glance at perhaps some of the more rundown parts of the area, she glanced at the fox girl. "So, you never told me your name. I overheard Katsura's, but I don't think I heard yours." She'd state, trying to start a conversation so she could keep her mind occupied. It was awfully weird how they didn't seem to introduce themselves, or even the fact that they STILL had their suit on. Girl was weird, that all she could think about. "Don't you want to take your head off or something? It's probably sweaty in there."

Renamon followed along with the group slowly, her tail dragging behind her as they walked through Central Shibuya. She was oblivious to being followed for now because her attention was focused on Satsuki but given a long period of time she was attentive enough to figure it out. She had been silent along the walk up untill now but Satsukis question dragged her back. She quickened her pace to catch up to the group.
Her name? She had only met a few humans up untill now and only one made a lasting enough impression for her to remember a name. It wasnt that Renamon couldn't remember names well, she just didnt care to. She would still be able to recognize the humans whose names she had forgotten if she met them again by their scent.
She said the only human name she could remember "Riki, my name is Riki" she was releived she had an answer to the question and didnt have to ask Katsura for help again. The releif quickly left her when Satsuki asked the second question however. Why didnt she take her head off? What kind of question was that? She didnt understand what a fursuit was to begin with so how would she get out of this one? "Uhhh..." she fumbled for an excuse and said the first thing that came to mind "Im having a bad hair day." hopefully Satsuki would buy it and stop asking her questions. She seemed like the type of girl to take that as a reason.

Nyao's ears twitched a bit, it seemed like she heard something a bat of some kind? Because Nyao was acting like a plush toy for the moment, she did not act on that sensation though and Katsura likewise didn't notice it either. "Come on Nyao, let's follow Hirata-chan" Katsura said as she looked down at Nyao, of course since Nyao was currently pretending to be inanimate, Satsuki had no way of knowing whether Katsura was talking to her plush-toy or herself. Not helping was that Katsura habitually forgot to treat Nyao like a toy nor that Nyao managed to be completely motionless at that point.
The closer Katsura came to Greater Shibuya the less comfortable she was, on the same time the chance of someone recognizing Katsura increased. Conversely the ones who was most likely to address Katsura were of questionable origin and they usually called her "Cat" in an unflattering manner although Katsura proved to be immune to such taunts.
But once again there were problems with keeping up the lie as Satsuki asked Renamon to take off what she assumed was her head, of course Katsura was well-versed enough in the digtial world to know that it was likely how she looked like on an everyday. Katsura then turned to Renamon and whispered in the hopes that Satsuki won't hear it. (Turn on your holosuit, please)

The smile of the small swarm of flying rodents faltered for a moment, noticing the Renamon, and recalling their vague abilities of detection, and the collective telepathically decided to disperse, the small creatures swiftly moving from shadow to shadow. Some floated throigh the floorboards and walls of nearby buildings, as others took turns watching the group, functioning much like a machine, they moved mechanically. Their smile ever-present as they stalked the group, soundlessly.

Satsuki could not help but get that feeling again that she was being left out of the conversation again. This Riki chick really seemed to be kinda cutting excuses to not take off her stuff... like seriously? Bad hair days? That was a crappy exscuse in of itself, something that was starting to irk her slightly.
Something was off here... like it wasn't just her, was it?
The teen paused, staring at Riki and Katsura, an unsure look on her face. "... Where you two are going, its not to go and do something illegal is it?" She'd ask, various theoretical incriminating plots flying through her mind.
Was the furry smuggling something? Was she falling into their plans this whole time?! Many of these ideas were far-fetched, but certainly possible in her eyes. She began to glare at the two with an expectant look on her face. She was wanting answers.
As this happened, Satsuki was momentarily distracted as once more from her bag, her former Tamagotchi was beeping again... though this time more fervently. She dug into the bag and pulled out the toy... only to find that the egg sprite was no longer there. In its place was the bobbing sprite of a little cloud-like creature.
On one hand it was good to see the toy working again... On the otherhand she had never seen a Tamagotchi that looked like this. She has raised all the variants of Tamagotchi on her device before, so seeing this new one caused her pupils to dilate in shock. "It... hatched?" She'd quietly mumble, unsure what to make of things.
To her surprise, words began to scroll by on the LED screen.
HeLlO sAtSuKi
The girl immediately dropped the toy in shock, starting to hyperventilate. No sound came from her mouth... but she wanted to scream.

Renamon sighed loudly, how did she get herself in these situations? One of these days she would have a day where nothing went wrong. If only she had a tamer someday who could bail her out of these situations so she wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. Unfortunately for now she was a solo digimon and would have to pull herself out of this situation.
Renamon leaned closer to Katsura and whispered back "I don't have a holosuit and its a bit late for that don't you think?" She looked down at Nyao, it was the first time Renamon had seen Nyao move since she had approached Katsura. Renamon very childishy stuck her tongue out at Nyao knowing Nyao couldnt do anything back.
Renamon quickened her pace and caught back up with Satsuki in time to hear her question "criminal activity? I told you i lost my way looking for the con, why would you think that?" Her tail started to move back and forth again with renewed vigor as her annoyance came back. She was still asking questions and each one brough Renamon and the digital world closer to expose.
Renamons ears perked up when she heard the tomogatchi beep and she glanced back at Katsura. So it was close to hatching, at least she wouldnt have to worry about exposure then. She watched Satsuki read the screen and looked over her shoulder. She caught the tomogatchi quickly before it hit the ground. Thank god for her quick reflexes.

Nyao knew they were being watched, if only circumstances didn't force her to be motionless she could have warned Katsura. At the very least, she could do something about Renamon's "funny" idea about sticking out her tongue. Meanwhile Katsura got exasperated over the realization that Satsuki did not buy the excuse of a bad hair day and accused them of being criminals. Slightly offended, Katsura answered.
"I already done my shift today, what did you think the metal plate is for?!" The rethoric answer, for the oblivious ones was that her occupation was being a beggar. She just migrated to richer parts where people had more spare money to give her. Unlike Renamon's attire, Katsura was wearing a high school uniform despite being post-pubescent and it had stitches all over the place of increasing quality as they got younger. The sleeves was made longer indicating that rather than throwing it away when she outgrew it, she just modified it to fit. Katsura turned to Renamon and whispered (Greater Shibuya is an Yakuza area, she doesn't buy the hair thing.)
When Satsuki's tomogatchi was acting out and Satsuki panicked, Renamon sent Katsura a look. Katsura sent a nod return to reply that she too knew that the masquerade was losing its importance as the egg came closer to hatch. From Satsuki's point of view it might shock her to note that nothing of the following events could stop Katsura from smiling warm and friendly. This was not even a plot hole since Katsura could shift personality at the drop of a hat and being overly happy and friendly was her default front.

As the bats scurried, all around the group, they struggled to refrain from giggling at the girl's outburst of panic, thinking: "they aren't supposed to panic until I reveal myself, wonder what's got em' so spooked?" they wondered, collectively as they simultaneously realized that the separation was out of time. The swarm hurridly gathered in one place, the ones on the opposite side of the street diving into, and seemingly swimming in the road, before ascending a building, along with the rest, bunching into one mass. The mass shaped into the sams figure it started out as, what looked like a child wearing an odd demon or werewolf costume, with a mask that covered the eyes, sickly pale skin, red, shiny claws instead of fingernails, some small bat wings, and a lower body covered by bristly fuzz. The small digimon struck a pose, while the eyeballs on his hands watched the group, before he crouched down, again forgettong his necessity for stealth at the moment. His hand was the only thing visible now as he surveyed the group.

Satsuki didn't understand the girl's words initially, but soon began to see the signs with them being pointed out to her. Some kind of street urchin? That'd explain the filthy-looking clothing... and the pail.
Still... it made her realize that perhaps she had thought a bit too highly of these two than she initially thought. They were honestly beginning to weird the hell out of her... more so than normal.
What had she been thinking? She had been wasting her time with these weirdos... They probably damn well knew where they'd been going this whole time! A tinge of anger spread across her mind, she struggling to keep her cool any longer. With so many questions now hand, the girl lost her patience.
"Wh-what are you looking at me like that for?!" The teenager would immediately and angrily say aloud to Katsura, she starting to lose her patience. What was that smile for? Did she know something that she didn't?!
Sasuki was no longer able to keep up a friendly facade, she only able to scowl at the two girls. "... Was I wasting my entire time helping you two? Well?!" As the girl scowled, she glared at Riki... eyeing the pink device of hers that was in the black-furred fox's hands. "This is MINE, thank you!" She'd say aloud, desperately attempting to snatch the device back.
