Usako the Calcumon, newly appointed Team Guardian of the Digital Field Club and in-official mascot, was sitting on the ground at the southbound Trailmon station, reading a book. Yukiko had suggested it to her, it was called "A Brief History Of Time". She knew nothing about the author, but she sounded quite profound! Yukiko herself was pacing up and down on the station floor, looking at her watch occasionally. Mizu was lazing around on the floor near her, wearing sunglasses and an adorable sunhat. "Are you sure they will find this place? Maybe we didn't make the meeting location clear enough." Usako looked up from her book, slight annoyance on her face. "Sweetheart, I know this is your first public mission, but we went over it fifteen times. At this point you got to believe you did it right."Mizu lifted her sunglasses to lazily look at her Tamer. "Yeah, come on, they'll find it, just give them some more time!"While the human appreciated the encouragement, she remained worried. Hopefully, people would arrive soon...
OOC: Alright, first mission! It will start once everyone is there. Whether by train or from terminus, doesn't matter! Here is Sakurin's suggested listening for the MissionCarlos Rey Dr. MikemonToriya Naoko

Ah, now this was Research Club material: exploring the emergence of a brand new underwater city! Honestly, it almost felt like this job had just landed on their laps, and with Yukiko and Mizu's request out there, it seemed that Dr. Mikemon was going to pair up with Carlos and the Impmon-occasionally-turned-cat, Dio.
But really, that was all that the cat knew for the moment. It seemed a bit silly to travel to the station north from Whitewater, only to make their way back south to the Macro Ocean, but the feline had an errand or two to run up in this part anyway. This was how, almost casually, the Mikemon made his way to the meeting place: a single bag was slung over his shoulder, carrying a few spices he had picked up from Terminus.
"Hello again, Yukiko, Mizu." Giving a smile, the cat gave a brief bow to each of them, before glancing towards the third. "Ah... and you must me... Usako, right?" It was rare to see a Calcumon, but apparently he was a late addition to the team. "Ah, I think I'm a touch early..."

"...Good grief, I don't even...know if we took the right trainmon." Naoko had barely gotten here and she was already complaining about something, something that irritated the passenger on her hoodie.
A Tinkermon.
Eating chocolate. "Yeah? Well, better learn to trust in the queen. For her word...is law!" It actually wasn't. It seriously actually wasn't. "Also, it's a Trailmon. Slip up like that again and I'll make sure you starve." "Right, sure. Sure. Can I have my chocolate bar back?" "No."
As much as Naoko was disliking Titania's presence, she did make for good company on otherwise silent journeys. The fairy was really alert, too, keeping her eyes peeled for...
People. "Hey, flat subject! I found people." "...There's people all aro--" Well, it was people reading and idling about. Specifically the three already present. Yukiko, Mizu, Mikemon, and Usako.
It's not like Naoko really knew them, though. Naoko decided to risk her dignity and approach, the teenager inhaling before...
"Uh...G-Greetings, are you the people going to the...Sunken thingamado today?"
...Sure feels like there's spaghetti in my pockets right now...

Here it was, their first mission working for the Research Club. In all honesty, Carlos couldn’t have been any more eager about it, glad to be able to do something that would help the Club’s endeavors for gathering knowledge, even if Dio was somewhat dubious about the whole thing. Mostly because he was still a bit sore he was most likely not going to get paid for the effort.
Since it would be a rather small and hopefully simple assignment, it seemed it was going to be just the two of them and Dr. Mikemon. That was…about all that they knew about this whole thing, other than the general location. As such they had taken the first train from Terminus to their destination, taking with them only a small duffle bag filled with stuff that would hopefully be of use on the mission…which mostly meant some snacks to share with the group and some basic equipment that could come in handy as much as it could be a completely useless. Maybe he should have asked for more info on the job before coming over.
Even as the living vehicle finally started approaching his destination, Carlos couldn’t keep to himself for long, tapping his fingers against the seat rhythmically as he muttered out the lyrics of some song as he waited for the train to finally stop.
“Mental wounds not healing / Life's a bitter shame / I'm going off the rails on a crazy train~”
“Must you sing that same song every single time we’re aboard a trailmon?” The small partner that was sitting to his side asked with annoyance, his eyes focused on watching the outside world passing by at a breakneck speed as their train moved along.
“Oh don’t worry, I have plenty of other train related songs, that’s just the one on my mind at the moment.”
“Joy, can’t wait for you to sing them all.” Dio said, sarcastically.
A few moments later the train slowly and loudly came to a stop. As soon as the duo came from within the train they were quick to see a couple of familiar faces not too far from them. Well, at least they were in the right place.
“Hi Yukiko, Mizu, Doc, good to see you guys again, hope we’re not too late.” He greeted them with a friendly wave as he approached them, only then noticing the other three new faces he had yet to meet, though he suspected who the bunny looking robot was.
“Sorry, you’re Usako, was it? Pleased to meet you.”
“Likewise.” The imp added simply, before turning to face the other girl and who assumed was her partner, Tinkermon. “And who might you two be?” He asked, his tone filled with curiosity and distrust in equal measures.

And so, everyone had arrived. The Doctor, Carlos, and an unfamiliar face with a fairy companion. Ah, this must be Naoko. They did leave a spot open for an interested party outside of the club, at Mizu's suggestion. After all, they work was for the benefit of the entire Digital World, so why not allowing people to tag along? "Ah, g-g-g-greetings, everyone!" Yukiko bowed to everyone. "Hello, Mr. Dr. Mikemon, H-h-hello Mr. Carlos. Aaaah, and h-h-h-ello Ms. Naoko. My name is Yukiko, I am the l-l-leader of the club! This here is Mizu, my partner." The Betamon lazily raised a claw. "Yo." "S-s-s-s-sorry that we had to meet here, and not in Whitewater. I...had some bad experiences in Whitewater..." She held the bandaged portion of her arm, where she had cut it open when avoiding the Strikedramon. The whole affair with Genesis still haunted the back of her mind. "S-s-s-still, this train should get us to the seaside fast and easy!"
"Ah, a pleasure to meet you all." The Calcumon bowed. "This is indeed the first time we meet physically. I am the newly assigned Team Guardian of the team. Usually I conduct Mission Control, but I was asked to tag along today to see how the club operates. My colleague Ayumi will conduct Mission Control, should we need it."

Well... this was a thing. The Mikemon knew that Yukiko was a social klutz - that was part of the charm to their leader - but as Naoko proved to be almost equally lacking in social comfort, the Mikemon couldn't help but give a blink.
"Yes... yes, we're here to explore the Sunken Elysium. But lighten up a bit or you're just going to scare all the other Digimon away." The cat gave a nervous chuckle, before giving a nod to the Tinkermon.
Thankfully, Carlos and Dio were soon on the scene. Stepping out of another Trailmon, the tamer and the Impmon - free of his holosuited disguise - arrived at the scene to give the place a little more club presence. "If anything, we're all a bit early. No worries there, Carlos." Accepting the casual title of doc, he gave a grin...
... And soon, Yukiko addressed the group as a whole, stammering through just about every word! His ear twitched when she mentioned her discomfort with Whitewater, the cat idly looking over that arm. "Hm, might have to show you the better parts of it sometime. But for now, I guess this works?" They were about an hour out by train, but it wasn't the worst thing in the world.
"How are we going to explore underwater, then?" For this question, Mikemon gave a brief blink towards Yukiko. Had they rented suits, or something?

"Uh...I'm Naoko. Naoko Toriya. I guess now we're...actually sorta introduced?" Naoko started, directed towards Carlos (and Dio,) unsure how to go about ALL THIS INTERACTION. "...This pretentious fairy's my partner, Titania." She jutted a thumb back to the passenger in the hood. "I'm not pretentious, I'm regal, you dork."
Titania could also feel the sheer, unadulterated awkward in the air. She felt like this was going to be a test of patience. Naoko nodded to Yukiko. "...I can relate. Uh, first time in this world was at Whitewater and I think I almost had a heat stroke." "Yeah, like the way you dress doesn't have anything to do with that at all."
Ignoring the fairy, Naoko then turned her attention to...The Doctor Cat.
Far more tolerable than a knocker cat, to be honest. "I'll do my best to. But, uh...No promises. Also, that's actually a good question...I don't think this world lets humans breathe underwater naturally, right?"
"'Cause they're not fish." Titania nodded, sagely. Naoko then got the weirdest...well, thought. Weird to her at least. "...Did we get a submarine or something?"

“Toriya…oh, so you’re Haru’s sister?” He was fairly certain Haru had made a passing mention of her on the club’s LINE chat. “Well it’s a pleasure to meet you too.” He nodded with a friendly smile.
“Pretentious and regal?” The man mused, looking at the fairy for a moment, then at Dio, smirking. “Sounds familiar.”
“Real funny.” The impmon huffed, sounding slightly offended. He wasn’t pretentious, he probably had way more to back up his title as the Dark Lord than…whatever it was that Titania’s title was.
“Huh, so was I the only one that had a good time in Whitewater?” He asked, genuenly surprised. Sure it was hot and crowded, but it wasn’t any worse than when he first arrived at Tokyo. Maybe it was because Dio had been to busy with his training with K during that time to be a conflict magnet, but Carlos had spent a pretty relaxing time on his last visit there.
Regardless, both Doctor and Naoko raised a fair point, how would they make their way to the sunken city? That said, he couldn’t help but chuckle when Naoko wondered if they would use a submarine.
“Somehow I doubt that, I would be pretty awesome though, especially if it was a yellow one.” He said with a shrug, before turning to Yukiko and the other two. “But yeah, how are we going to go down there?”
“And more importantly…” He added, reaching into his dufflebag with one hand for a moment, before taking out (with an overly dramatic gesture) a small brown paper bag. “…will the lunch survive the journey? Cause I kinda brought snacks for everyone to share and this bag is not exactly water proof.”

"A-a-a-ah! Th-th-th-those are f-f-f-fair points. B-b-b-b-but I was so free as to g-g-g-get each of you a Diving kit! W-w-w-with this, w-w-we can breathe under water!" Yukiko held up a water-proof bag containing the kits. "W-w-w-we can put the lunch in here, too!...uuuh, th-th-th-thanks for bringing some along, Carlos." "And I hope you all got some swimwear, or else you got to enter the water in your underwear! I wouldn't mind watching that, but I fear Yukiko'd die instantly!" Yukiko promptly turned red. "H-h-h-h-h-h-h-hey!" "What, it's true! Aaaaanyhow, anyone still have any questions? Our trailmon's leaving soon, and I want everyone to feel well informed before we get to Elysium!"

Alright, so they weren't just going in with Digivices and crossed fingers! As Yukiko presented the diving kits, Dr. Mikemon himself gave a rather relieved nod. It even seemed like Carlos' snacks would be able to survive the trip - though the doctor couldn't help but give a chuckle at that.
"I hardly think that we'll be able to eat underwater, Carlos. Though I appreciate the thought." He was a little lost on Carlos' and Naoko's conversation. Surprisingly, it didn't take much for Naoko to settle in, even if Titania was trying to keep her in line with her own regal sense of control.
They had quite the interesting group here, didn't they? "It's a bit of a ride - I'm sure we can sort details on the way there, Mizu?" The cat reasoned, and would follow the group in the train. He didn't have to worry about swimwear himself, but the rest of the group... well, it would have paid to think ahead! Still, though it was a bit late, the cat did pick up on one thing from Carlos:
"Oh, I've had plenty of good times in Whitewater. Its where I have my clinic, after all - meaning I get to see everyone's bad days there."

"You might've been? I mean, I didn't really have a bad time but...Yeah nice to meet you." Naoko trailed off and shrugged. It was pretty good that she happened to come across her sister's friends. Heck, she was kind of happy she seemed to have a lot of friends here! Heck, she even gave a chuckle at Carlos' yellow submarine joke. Who'd have thought she of all people would get it?
Titania looked at Carlos' packed lunch and shrugged. "Well, the bag might not. I bet the Lunch might survive if only a bit soggy." Then the Betamon mentioned they needed swimwear.
Wait.
SWIMWEAR?
...Did Naoko even PACK that? She had thought there'd be like...wetsuits provided or something!
"Well, Toriya? Brought some swimwear?" Titania jested, looking like an incredibly smug fairy. Naoko was likely as red as Yukiko was right now. "...S-Shut up..."
Titania would finish her chocolate before she hopped out of Naoko's hoodie, floating above her shoulder. "Well! Your information is satisfactory for the queen. As such, my vassal and I are prepared for the journey."
Naoko promptly drew her hoodie up over her face. This might have been really embarrassing for her.

As it turned out, it seemed that Yukiko had thought ahead and had procured some diving kits for all the volunteers, which came as a bit of a relief for Carlos, since while the idea of a submarine seemed cool, he knew for a fact travelling in such a cramped space with other 7 individuals (granted five of said individuals didn’t occupied much space) would be rather uncomfortable for everyone involved. Dio on the other hand didn’t seem as thrilled, as he still found himself distrustful of bodies of water in general ever since that close encounter with a Gesomon back in Old Terminus.
When Dr. brought up the slight technical problem that was eating underwater, Carlos stood silent for a moment, before pinching the bridge of his nose while letting out a sigh.
“Yeah that’s a…very valid point, Doc. Can’t believe I didn’t think of that.” He said with a slightly awkward chuckle. He probably should have planned this one out better.
“Told you it was a stupid idea.” Dio said, giving him a mocking pat on the side, prompting an annoyed sigh from the man.
“Well then maybe you should have elaborated a bit on why it was stupid.”
“Nah, I rather see you make a fool out of yourself, that’s more amusing.” He replied, folding his arms while looking smug.
“Ah well, guess we can eat on the way?” He reasoned, doing his best to ignore the imp while putting the lunch back into the bag.
Well, luckily for Carlos he did have the hindsight to bring some swimwear along, though he was mostly worried over the other two humans actually surviving the trip or dying out of embarrassment on the way there. It seemed everyone was pretty much ready to get going.

"Yeah guys, eat on the way, or once we're there! Come on, the train's leaving soon! We wanna get out at the station just before Whitewater and then trek for about half a mile before we reach the shore from which we can reach Sunken Elysium!" The Betamon hopped up from the ground and waddled to the platform. The Calcumon closed her book and stretched. "Ay, yes, we ought to hurry. Come on, everyone, we have an exploration to carry out." Yukiko blushed at the idea of going swimming with these people. "I...h-h-h-have some spare swimsuit from school in case anyone needs any..."

Well, it seemed that foresight hadn't been with everyone in the group. Seeing the absolutely stunned look in Toriya's face, the doctor gave a smirk and a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose between two nails. "All I have to worry about is a bad case of wet fur after all this." Cats and water typically didn't go hand-in-hand, but so long as he knew it was coming, the cat would be fine.
As for the snacks, well, it seemed they could all at least share a laugh at that! "Eating on the way there will probably be better anyway. We can spend all afternoon looking around without worrying about 'when to eat'." At the very least, that was salvageable - though Dio could have been a little more helpful in the long run.
Well, nothing else to be doing than getting on the road. At the very least, it seemed that Yukiko had Toriya covered, though would the suit even fit? Eh, the cat wasn't going to worry about it - he stepped in, and would take a seat just a few feet from the Impmon.

...Spare swimsuits. That's great. Naoko sighed in relief, though there was still a whole lotta red on her face. Titania started to snicker incessantly at this. "...Mizu, was it? I think the girls are going to be bleeding from their noses by the end of the day. Embarrassing as that is for my vassal...It amuses me."
Naoko's response to this was very simple. To the point. Concise. "I'mgoinginthetrainnow. AlsoMissYukikopleaselendmeaswimsuit!" Annnnd she quickly got in the train, taking a seat...well, near Mikemon and Dio.
Titania just looked around briefly before she stepped into the train as well. "Last one there is a rotten egg!"
