Ry leaned against the wooden bar as he slumped in his seat, the glass of coke and rum in his hands. He was still fascinated by how similar the alcohol in the Digital World and the human world are, even down to the mixing of drinks.
Of course, the patrons are nothing similar at all. He glanced around him, most of them were digimon, sitting on the tables provided a little bit away from the bar, eating and drinking merrily in groups. The only reason why Ry chose to sit at the bar counter was because he had no such group, and anyways, he was good being at the counter, as near as possible with the bartender.
He eyed the cat digimon bartender, Gatomon, she called herself. He wasn't entirely sure if he was actually allowed at the bar, considering he wasn't exactly twenty yet, but she didn't seem to care at all. Maybe all she cared about was the money, or maybe the Digital World just didn't have a concept of a legal age. Whatever it was, as long as he got his drinks, he was happy.
Ry swirled the alcohol inside his glass, staring at the little waves inside it. He sighed, then downed it and slammed it against the counter, "One more please, Gatomon." |

Kazuya went to a digital world this time with the intent to relax, all the busy work and the single life began to stress him, he decided to go to a bar this time he asked his feline partner to join but he refused to do so, opting to go to a flower shop nearby to meet with a renamon he knows. the two then seperated as Kazuya entered the bar, the first thing he did was to scan the room everyone there seemed normal. the image of the digimon drinking and eating would have caused him to freak out a couple of weeks ago but now its mundane everyday life, its funny where life can take you sometimes. but out of the corner of his eyes he saw something interesting, a human sitting alone with no partner nor friends and drinking, he decided to approach this individual.
he then went to the counter and sat next to him, he noticed he was drinking rum and assumed he was atleast 21. Anyways he order his drink, which was a cup of Brandy, He then gulped the whole thing at once as he hoped it might free his mind from the troubling trials of life. "one more please " He said as he smilied to the gatomon, he would then turn to look at the young man.
"Hello there, did not expect to see a human here todah. My name is Kazuya Oda, nice to meet you." He said as he greeted the young man with a friendly smile.
"So what brings you here to bar in the digital, did you desire an exist from our world as well, or did you come here to seek the difference between our alcohol and theirs" he said as he recieved his cup of brandy shaking it ever so delicatly.

The Gatomon had brought Ry his drink and he was swirling the new one in his hand when a young man approached him, another lone man in this bar full of digimon. Ry looked up when he realised he was being greeted by him, glass in hand and slightly pushed away from the table so he was sitting straight up instead of leaning against the counter.
"Hey man, nice to meet you," he smiled back, "I'm Ry, Ry Napraleon."
Ry motioned with his head for the man to sit on the empty seat next to him, and then took a swig from his drink. He was beginning to feel the onset of tipsiness, he could feel the light-headedness beginning to come, but he was definitely not drunk yet.
"Both, I guess," he sighed, looking into the brown-ish black liquid inside his glass, "I don't really have a place back in our world, and the alcohol here is pretty good," he flashed a quick smile at the Gatomon, who shrugged back at him, "What about you?"
"You know what, this is the first time I've seen another human here," he raised his glass slightly as Kazuya received his own drink, "Why don't I buy you the next round of drinks? Once you've finished that one, of course." |

Kazuya took a sip from his brandy as he listened to the young man as he introduced himself, his name sounded weird to him he figured he was a foreigner. Kazuya listened to the man speak his sorrow, he seemed lost. He stirred his cup before taking a sip, "We all face problems, sometimes it seems the easiest route is to run away and avoid the problem. But facing our problems is the best way to grow. As for me drinking here, helps me save time and besides digimon bar stories ought to be more interesting than human stories." he said as he took on more sip and finished his brandy, he did not want to put himself in other people but he could not ignore a man who thinks he lost hia place in the world. he then put his glass on the table and listened to Ry, it turned out that he is a new person like himself.
"ah, I see you must be new to the digital world. its interesting, since my first time here I have met a human, and ever since I have met alot of people here. I would advice caution, even though I mostly met nice people I would not be suprised if some people here may not be pleasant. " He said warning the young man of the dangers he has yet to see, but the dangers his partner faced a life time ago.
Kazuya then smiled as the young Ry offered to buy him a drink, "if you insist, I will have one cup of whiskey, I do not want to go wild just yet. "
"oh before I forget, do you have a digimon partner ? if so where are they." Kazuya asked Ry as he wondered what a new person is doing alone without their partner.

Ry cringed a little inwardly and shied his glass away from the new guy as he began to lecture Ry. He's heard it many times before, especially from his track coach, though it seemed as if the lecture is really only hitting him now that he's quite tipsy from the rum and coke, "I get that, but hey, what can you do if your problem is a multimillionare conglomerate who insists on you becoming his heir after fucking over your mum, right?" he downed his drink then and slammed it on the counter again, "One more, please, Gatomon."
Whilst the Gatomon got him another glass, Kazuya told him of the dangers of the Digital World and Ry snorted, "Yeah, trust me I know that very well," he replied, "I was nearly arrested by a lot of digimon during my first time here even though I didn't do anything, was threatened and forced to go along with what a girl said or she would have killed me, and had to go through lava to get my spirit. Trust me, I know about the Digital World very well."
With this, he gave a sigh and took another swig from his glass, "Sorry if I seem impudent, I've just had a lot of rough starts ever since coming here, and I know you've been through your own fair share but to me, it's just been a lot since I am new here."
He did smile when Kazuya took up his drink offer though, "Glad to hear that, cheers." he said, bringing up his glass to toast with Kazuya, if the new guy brought his glass too to toast with Ry.
"Oh, I don't have a digimon partner," he replied, "I'm a spirit user, which means I use digital spirits instead to turn into a digimon to fight instead of having a partner."
He glanced around, "What about you? Where's your partner?" |

Kazuya was suprised to say the least when he heard Ry's problem, he put down his glass as he looked down, he felt a mixture of sympathy and emphaty as he can understand the trouble that comes with betrayl from a parent. He got silent for a couple of seconds before uttering a word " I apologize for sticking my nose where it does not belong, if it makes it any better I understand the problems that come with bad parents. Heck you are talking to a man who had his mom leave him as a 5 year old who waited for 5 years for her return." He said in a sarcastic tone as he chuckled, he put the glass on the table.
Kazuya listened to Ry dangerous endavers, and almost chuckled at the riddicoulsness of it almost sounded unreal, but then again the two of them are being served drinks by an anthropomorphic white cat so realisim can be dammed. "I see, I have not being in such situations myself. but my partner said he had, anyways I am glad that you made out of those alive. Cheers " He said with a smile on his face, as he raised his cup and then finished his brandy and put the glass on the the table "bring on the whiskey Gatomon" he said as he looked at Ry "Don't worry about it man, its me who should apologize for getting invovled in things where I should'nt. and yeah this place can be tough, I have managed to dodge trouble so far it seems, but I doubt I can keep that up. " He said with a smirk as the influence of the drinks slightly began to take place.
He then recieves the cup of whiskey from the gatomon as he looks at Ry with a confused before he going "oooooh, I think I have heard about that before, so you really do not need digimon. Mine ? he is gone to meet a digimon he knows and I am waiting on him to come." He said as he stirred his cup, looking down on the table "So how does being a spirit user feel, is your mind affected by it ? does the spirit talk to you ?" Kazuya said as he looked at his watch on his arm.

After Kazuya told Ry his story, he began to relax a little and felt a little guilty at his outburst, "Sorry about that man," he said, bringing up his glass once more to take a sip from his rum and coke, "I didn't mean to burst out on you, just a little hard nowadays to keep my emotions down, guess the alcohol isn't helping that either," he gave a small laugh and raised his glass again.
Ry raised an eyebrow when the man confessed that he hadn't gotten into such life-threatening situations as Ry had, "Really? How long have you been in the Digital World for, a week or so?" he chuckled, "I hope you don't get into any trouble, but I'm also going to bet that you'll find someone trying to arrest you by the end of the week. But cheers," he laughed, showing what he had said was more out of a tease and a joke than anything, clinking the glass against Kazuya's.
"Oh no, don't apologise for anything, you didn't really do anything wrong," he admitted, placing the glass back down on the counter for the Gatomon to refill it, "Plus, you were only trying to help. And hey, it's good to meet another human being that's nice to me. Been a shortage of that ever since I came to the Digital World."
The white cat digimon refilled his drink, and he brought it back up for another gulp, "I mean, I guess I do prefer having a partner, at the very least I can have someone watch my back whenever I get into trouble, instead of being alone whenever I get into a situation," he admitted, rambling on now that the alcohol is starting to hit him. He pondered about his new friend's question for a little bit before responding, "Well it feels weird, my spirit did talk to me when I first got it, but not anymore. It's like, your body being replaced by another person's, but you can feel it happen, and not just your whole body, but also your skin and your heart and everything, you know?"
The alcohol was definitely starting to hit him, he shook his head and lowered his glass a little, "What does it feel like being a tamer and having a partner?" he asked in return, "Do you guys have a special bond or something? Can you feel the bond? Can you guys exchange thoughts or feel each other or feel his heart or something?" |

Kazuya listened as Ry apologized, he took a sip from the alcohol and looked at the cup, he stayed silent for a couple seconds as he remembered the past, he has not talked about it for a while so talking about it again made him some unpleasant thoughts. He then looked at Ry and smilied and waved his hand "no need to apologize Ry. Our emotions are what makes us alive, so no need to apologize unless you let them rule your life. " He said as he put the glass down, running his hand through his hair.
Kazuya chuckled when he saw that Ry was confused by the fact that he has not seen any danger yet, Kazuya Raised his glass clinking it with Ry's "I will drink to that." he said smiling "And yeah you could say a couple of weeks now, nothing major happened yet. But that is probably thanks to my partner, he knows this world well and be taking me to safe spots so far. That might change as we must get stronger soon and we can't do that lounging from city to city can we now?" Kazuya asked a rhetorical question before finishing his cup and putting on the table, gatomon took the glass to fill out once more this time he asked for a cup of water instead of brandy.
Kazuya smiled as he was glad that Ry took no offense to his interference, he took the cup of water from the gatomon and took a big sip from it. "Hey thats good to hear, I have to share my luck with other after all, the people I met here so far was delightful. " he said as he chuckled.
Kazuya listened to Ry as he listed some of the benefits of having a partner, that he did not actually consider. for once it was actually great to have someone like Royland protecting your back, sure he seems irresiponsible but he is dependable. But more importantly he listened to Ry with curiosty, it seems the spirit talked him but only once ? It seemed a little convluted and bizzare, he couldn't begin to fathom the sensation of having your body replaced by a digimon's it sounded like something straight out of a nightmare "So the spirit went silent ? that sounds strange, I could barely understand the information giving to me so far, and yet digital world manages to confuse me even more" he said as he chuckled.
He then listened to Ry's question and thought about it for a second " now that you mention it, I think I bonded with my partner faster than I do other people, but I do not know if that is do to a special connection or is that just who he is. " he said as he chuckled. "as for exchange thoughts and the such, no that did not happen and I do not know if its even possible in the first place, but I am fairly new to all this maybe you can and I have not yet figured out how" although he did not believe it to be the case but he couldn't rule out the possibilty, he then finished his cup of water and ordered more brandy.
"So how about you, are you going to start living here ? or are you going back to the human world" He asked as he took his cup and stirred it, before looking at Ry waiting for a response.
meanwhile outside of the bar and in the streets a spadamon was seen walking out folding his hands and kicking a tiny rock around "I did not want to hang out with her anyway." He said as the rejection he faced from Renamon stinged harder than he wanted to admit "I should check on Kazuya and see if he is okay or not" he said as he headed to the bar Kazuya was in.

Ry ran his fingers from his left hand through his hair as the older gentleman told him not to apologise, "Well, I still feel guilty anyways," in his right hand, he held the glass of alcohol, which he took a quick sip of, "Plus, I may be at the side of 'letting my emotions rule my life'. People say that I am quite a... reckless character."
A couple weeks? "That's longer than I've been here for, admittedly, I think I've been here from..." he counted the days. Today was a Friday, and he was here since last Wednesday... "Nearly nine days now? Definitely way shorter than two weeks, but nearly there, perhaps. I don't know how I'm still alive here, to be honest, I thought I'd be dead by now with my current track record." with that, he drained the rest of his cup.
The Gatomon quickly refilled his cup, and he brought it back to his lips to sip a little bit more. "Yeah, but actually, I guess that I haven't tried to ask him again to talk," he said, then held on to the counter to lean slightly backwards, tilted his head up to face the ceiling, and said louder than he intended, "Hey, spirit, are you there?"
He waited a few seconds before he sighed, and went back to the position he was in before, slumping down and leaning his arms against the counter, "Guess not, well, I"m not surprised," he took another gulp, "Everything is so confusing right now, I haven't really gotten hold of my spirit evolution, it's still all over the place too."
"That's interesting though, I wish I had a partner," Ry chuckled, "Though I wouldn't give up this power either, maybe I'm just greedy, eh?"
He shrugged at the question, "I don't know, I could always just come back here and there, I don't think they care too much about me in the human world, no one would really notice," that reminded him of his father, which he cringed at slightly, "Well, hopefully no one anyways."
He glanced at the arrival of a small white lion digimon in blue armour, but shrugged and returned to his newfound friend, "What about you? Staying here?" |

Kazuya looked down at his cup as he listened to Ry as he apologized for his little outburst, which was unnecessary as Kazuya previously mentioned. He leaned back as he looked up at the roof "I do not know, do not let people words affect you. and if you are, you just need to learn to how to use your emotions as a weapon" Kazuya said as he was genuienly at a loss of words, he has been as angry as Ry before yet he can't find a way to give him a better advice, He then just leaned forward and took a sip of water, trying to find the right words but to no avail.
He chuckled when he knew that Ry has been here for only nine days compared to his two weeks, yet he faced more danger than him it was funny to him anyway. "Well anyways I have known this place for two weeks, but I have going in and out for a while so I may have actually spent less time than you. And besides you look quite capable, I would not worry about yourself getting killed." He said as he looked at his watch, thinking to himself that his partner should arrive any moment know.
Kazuya took a sip from water as he listened to Ry try to talk to his spirit and failed, which helped make Kazuya alot more curious about this whole spirit thing and the inner mechanism of it, but alas today is a day to relax so maybe another day. "oh, no success ? what a shame I would love to asked him some questions, maybe some other day. Anyways you should not worry about being good at anything at this point of time, but I will advice caution until you learn how to use it but that just me" He said as he shruged he had a funny feeling that his advice may not be taken seirously, but he felt like he neeeded to say it anyways.
Kazuya took a second to think about Ry statement, while having Roy with him defiently changed his life but would it have been better if he had the ability to turn to a digimon ? maybe, but all he knows is that he glad that he has his partner " Too bad you can't have it both eh? Anyways I am glad it went the way it did for me, even if my partner can be a little hot headed" He said as he chuckled.
He felt bad when Ry seemed to be uninterested in life on the human world, but he just met the guy so he did not think interfering any more than he already did is unwise. "I see well, this world is more functional than I initially thought so staying here is a viable plan".
"As for me I have a job in the real world so I am going back and forth, trying to live is tough but the time dialation makes it bareable." Kazuya said as he took one more sip finishing his cup of water, the door of the bar is then open as a tiny cat like digimon walked in looking around until finding his partner.
"Hey there you are Kazuya" The spadamon walked up to Kazuya, only to stop and look at Ry with a bit of confusion.
"allow me to introduce you two, Royland this Ry a spirit user, Ry this my partner Royland"
"Nice to meet you Ry" The spadamon said as he got up on a chair and sat next to Ry, he looked at the stranger "So you are a spirit user, that means you do not a partner right ? thats rad. So what do you think of the digital world, is it like your imagination or perhaps even better ? " he said as the tiny spadamon could not help contain his excitment which made Kazuya smile as he leaned back on his chair.

Ry nodded as he listened to the words of wisdom from the older man, "Using your emotions as a weapon..." he muttered to himself, thinking about how he could potentially do that, "Thank you for that."
Ry laughed when Kazuya said that the Digital World couldn't possibly kill him, "I've gotten out too many near misses recently, nearly getting killed several times," he replied, taking yet another swig of his drink, "I've been falsely arrested by seven digimon, threatened to go along with some random girl, nearly got eaten up by a volcano, and all in a week of staying here, but yeah, cheers to that."
He shrugged though, "Hey, wanna trade numbers or if you have that Digi-FM item that lets you contact other people?" he asked, "That way, if I do manage to figure it out, I can call you and show it off to you," he gave a hearty laugh, downing his drink and the Gatomon refilled it again for him, looking at him cautiously. It must have been what, his fifth drink now? He was getting way too tipsy for his own good, perhaps even drunk.
He raised an eyebrow at something the elder said though, "I have a job in the human world too but it's not important since it's just a pizza deliveryman job, but there's a time dialation?" he asked, "What do you mean?"
Noticing that the small lion digimon was in fact Kazuya's partner digimon though, he gave a slight nod and introduced himself, "I'm Ry, nice to meet you Royland," then at the barrage of questions, he answered, "Well, if I can figure out how to spirit evolve, then yeah it'd be pretty cool to me too. But the Digital World... Well I didn't expect anything before I came here, so it's better, I guess?"
The lion digimon seemed innocent, he didn't want to truly break it and perhaps even offend him by saying he's had a terrible time in the Digital World so far. But at least, he was being half-honest when he said he didn't expect anything before he came. |

Kazuya was happy to see that his advice was appreciated to some capacity, he put his glass and ordered one more cup of brandy, he waited for his drink as he listened to Ry explain the dangerous situations he got himself in, Kazuya almost wanted to laugh at how absurd and crazy the situations were, but if any of the stories Roy told him about are real then it can get a lot more crazy and a lot more dangerous. When Kazuya recieved his cup of brandy, he turned to Ry before taking "Hey atleast you are alive now, and you know what they say live and learn. as long as you are alive you can learn from those experience, so cheers to that." He said before taking a sip from the brandy.
He stopped and turned to Ry, his face gave a confused expression "Digi-FM ? no I do not think I even know what you are talking about. but Yeah sure, infact here take this" Kazuya searched his pockets before taking out his business card and giving it to Ry "if you flip it has my personal phone number on the back, feel free to call anytime and if you ever interested in buying a car, swing by I will give you a good deal. " He said with a smile, Ry seemed like a nice enough guy so why not give him his phone number. He took another sip finishing his brandy.
Kazuya felt a little mad at Ry statement, to belittle any form of work no matter how insignifcant it may seem was something he disliked " Hey! it may not be important to you, but to alot of people thats an actual form of living, So what gives you the right to say whats important and whats not ?" Kazuya before calmly collecting himself as he felt the affect of the alcohol slowly beginning to affect his decision making, he is sensitive to that topic anyways.
"I am sorry, I got out of control and crossed the line. And yes there is a time dialation, every 7 hours here equals to one hour out there so a week in here is only a day out there, its crazy but you get used to it and with the right time management you can even use it to your advantage "
Roy was happy to hear that Ry thinks that the digital world is better, but he only got what he wanted from the sentence in the first place "oh so you do not know how to control it ? well thats a problem I wish I could help but I know nothing about it. Shoot well if there is anything you want to know feel free to ask. " He said with a wide grin, Roy was approached by the gatomon but he refused to drink mainly cause Kazuya is drinking and there has to be someone who is sober between the two.
Kazuya noticed that Ry did not tell Roy about his dangerous encounters, which was interesting Kazuya wondered if he did not tell him because he was a digimon or not. "Oh hey Ry, can you show me your device I would love to analyze it. "

He clinked his glass with his new friend, "Yeah, cheers to being alive," he said, downing the rest of his drink.
Ry accepted the business card, though raised an eyebrow when he saw it. Damn, this dude was classier than he realised. He looked it back to front, flipped it both sides and examined it. True to his words, his number was on it, though he chuckled, "Sure, I'll make sure to call you when I get back home, though I don't have enough money to buy a car," he slipped the business card into his pant's back pocket, "You should think about getting a Digi-FM though, cell phones don't work here, it'd be hard to get a hold of you in the Digital World without one."
He blinked at the sudden outburst though, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset, I guess I know what you mean, pizzas are important," he knew it wasn't the right time but his alcohol-addled brain couldn't help but make him laugh out loud.
A time dialation is interesting though, "That means I've only been missing for two days instead of two weeks..." he muttered to himself, "Maybe I can really keep my job after all."
The little lion mentioned that he'd try to help with the spirit evolution stuff, and Ry nodded out of gratefulness, "Thanks dude," he said, "How do you guys digivolve, anyways?"
He narrowed his eyes a bit though, when he asked for his D-Tector to inspect it, his paranoia settling in, "Alright, but only if I can inspect your tamer's digivice too." |

Kazuya raised his drink before gulping it down swiftly, he looked at Ry who seems to doubt that he will be in need of his services but he chuckled "hey no need to rush it, just have it with you and when you get the money you would know who to call." He said as he took a sip from a drink as he listened to Ry as he explained to him what a Digi-Fm and whats its uses are
" Oh, I see that makes it alot more important. I will see if I can get my hands on it." He said with a smile on his face as he leaned back on his chair as he took one more sip.
Kazuya then looked at Ry who either did not get what he wanted to say or was too drunk to understand it, either way it was not an issue now. "yes you have been gone for a lot less than you intially thought, neat isn't it ?" He said as he lift his glass sarcastically before finishing it.
Royland was suprised at the question Ry asked, he was not expecting it. He took a second trying to figure out how to answer this preplexing question "Well we go puwah, and then woosh and the you go wooooa. Yeah this is not helping at all, I guess I do not know how to describe it. maybe once I regain the ability to evolve once more I can describe it to you." Roy said as he laughed, embarassed at his lack of knowledge.
Kazuya was confused at Ry paranoia, he chuckled as he reached into his pocket and took the d-3 device from his pocket and put on the table next to Ry "Here you go, Enjoy"

Even though he was drunk, Ry could certainly still sense the tension from the other guy, emanating directly towards him. But at the same time, he felt he couldn't care less, in fact, "Sounds like my dad right now," he said to himself, though louder than he intended, "Oooh you gotta take over the company as my heir, oooh don't you go and leave my house, oooh don't you go and be a lowly pizza deliveryman."
He took another swig of his alcohol, laughing loudly as he did. He didn't really get why, but the prospect of seeing his father red-faced was funny as hell.
He stared at the little lion as he demonstrated how he would have digivolved, though it was entirely useless. But then Ry narrowed his eyes, "You can't digivolve?" he asked, "But aren't you a digimon? Isn't that what you're supposed to do? Like your whole shtick? Digivolving?"
Ry grunted when they acquiesed, and then fished out his D-Tector from his pocket and handed it over to the lion, taking the smaller looking device from the man, "Huh, I didn't think they'd look different," he examined each part of it, "So this is how you show that you're a tamer? Or do you use it for more than just that?" |
