"...Yen...Dollars... Yikes, it all just mixes into one big mess when your trying to know both English and Japanese..." Amethyst would sigh, but she still kept her smile. "Maybe just soda or something like that will help me chill out, thank you." She nodded at Valt, just shaking her head a bit as she looked at the box. "Gosh I'm a klutz, least my phone is broken thought, if I haven't been carrying this much stuff, may of never fallen into that silly river." She chuckled, placing hair behind her eyes.
She tilted her head as they managed a portal in the river. "...So... I fell into a magical portal, in a stinky river? Huh..." She pondered, wondering how much further down the rabbit hole she was go here.
Amethyst would keep her warm look as Ophelia snuggled up aginst her, laughing as she did. "Yeah! I'm a big ol' fancy idol! Not sure how your idols tend to go about, but! Where I come from it's really flashy, and bright, and colourful! You gotta wore lotta dresses and stuff like that, but it's cute! And fun!" She explained, pulling her phone out - which worked, just no WiFi. She would show the small lion a picture of her and a group of girls in rather over-the-top yet stylish dresses and skirts, all smiling and posing for the camera. "I do stuff like this all the time! And it's why I hope to get home soon, my girls need me! And I have work to do." She said with a smile.
"...Ooooh? Jerky! I tend to have to watch myself with what I eat but! Jerky is yummy! Sure." She grinned. "Normally I really shouldn't but uh, not even on earth anymore so, whose gonna stop me!" She said to basically no one.

....Performing on the corner? Ryouta looked confusedly at Ophelia. Still... Why is it a secret?
"Because human are naturally curious beings. They coming to Digital World without being prompted is like sending premium quality meat to hungry beasts. Say, Ophelia... think it like this... would you go to the dark area unprepared, just for giggles when you heard that it leads to somewhere else? When there are new amazing places? Normally, 90% Digimon would say "Fuck no".
..But humans are different. Some stupid ones, teenagers especially, would jump straight in. Thing with it is apparently even non-chosen could ends up in Digital World... What if they're not given Digimon partners, or whatever equivalent of that? What if they ended up in the most dangerous place ever? That's why the government decided to keep it a secret
Because there are no cure for stupidity other than near death encounter.
It's definitely different if they ended up because of an accident... there are definitely people who were bullied and tossed to the river, but people who gone to Shibuya River usually ain't going from there to Digital World because of an accident. They usually doing that for stupid things... It's matter of totally not knowing vs dumbly doing shit for shit and giggles."
"A bit harsh," Valt admitted, "but aniki is right. It's really dangerous, Ophelia. Because you seriously can end up in Dark Area as your first destination. It's just that random."
Ilbert thankfully returned with mixed jerky, sirloin and meat apple. He also fetched a pitcher of lemonade soda while at it... along with cola if that's not to her taste.
"Going home won't be hard," Valt told the human. "You just have to go to Terminus... but hey, while here why not just enjoy it a while? I'm sure you're tired from your idol nonsense. it helps that Digital World time flew seven times faster than real world's. So even if you're gone for seven hours in here, when you return back to your world you're actually only gone for one hour. Enjoy your holiday~"
"Just... don't get addicted I guess." Ryouta added.

Ophelia would be wide eyed and curious at being shown the pictures of idols from Amethyst's phone - whilst the fancy prissy girly stuff, like the dresses and skirts, wasn't really her thing, it still was nice to look at! It was colorful and bright and flashy, and it sounded like it was fun too, from what Amethyst mentioned! "I've never really seen it myself," Ophelia admitted, shifting a bit to get comfortable and adding "I just hear other people talking about it sometimes on the streets 'n stuff. Is it hard work being an Idol?"
With Ryouta's explanation of why the Digital World had to stay a secret, though... Ophelia would fall quiet for a second - contemplative and listening closely to Ryouta's words. Humans... Even when they were fragile, she guessed that younger humans were pretty foolhardy or impulsive, like herself, huh...? Indeed, it was maybe a bit harsh - she couldn't help but grow maybe a hair discomforted - but it was clear she was otherwise trying to listen the best she could, even with that discomfort. She wasn't sure if being lost and confused, but being in that very situation nonetheless, was much better either - but she supposed that if humans as a whole don't know, then they would be less likely to purposefully go there.
Ilbert's arrival with the bucketful of jerky was a thankful change in mood though - "Thank you Ilbert!" She'd happily chirp as she took the bucket - putting it on both her lap and Amethyst's lap so that they could share the jerky, as she took out a large piece to begin chewing on it, her sharp teeth tearing into it relatively easily. Her tail was perked and swishing happily, and she was purring loudly as though she were on cloud nine, as she munched on her first piece of jerky - and listening curiously to Valt. So there was a way to the human world in Terminus? Ophelia probably wasn't gonna go to the human world quite yet - she still had things she wanted to do here, after all! But that was still good to know if she ever felt ready to move out that way. Still though, a curious question came to mind with the last bit of what Valt said. "Why does time go differently in the human world?" She'd ask.

"Oh I can see that being kinda a big issue huh?" Amethyst would add in mindlessly to the whole well, "humans discovering this place" conversation. "Sometimes their a few well, silly people yeah that could run into some trouble if fell through here. Not all humans are nice, and some ca be kinda impulsive - despicably teenagers." She would nod. "Thought, by not telling people, your keeping most of them safe, yeah? But also keep such a big thing as this a secret, wouldn't it eventually come out to the public? I can imagine at least one person not being able to keep sealed lips in a place such as this." She pondered, as she opened her soda and took a sip.
"Being an idol can be hard but it's really rewarding! And when you do something you love! Isn't that all that matters in the end?" She said with a smile. A very fake smile, but a smile nonetheless. "There's like lotta stuff ya gotta deal in a set, small period of time but who cares when ya enjoying yourself!" She shrugged, taking a piece of jerky and nibbling on it.
As Valt mentioned time well, went slower here, her eyes widen. "Oh wow really! That's so cool, I'll barely miss a thing!" She cheerily. "And.. Treat it like...A holiday you say huh?" She laughed. "Well, that sounds amazing! I'm sure I'll enjoy myself! Besides there looks like there's so many cool things to see here! I can wait to explore!" She smiled, giddy at the thought of it. "I'm counting on you four to me my tour guides here if so! Cause I'm all but a very confused if not excitable tourist!" She laughed, jerky shovelled into her mouth.
A small part of her almost seemed... Happy? Happy to be here, happy to feel some sort for freedom for the hellscape that was her life but, another knew this wasn't right, that sh couldn't really stay here forever and that she had a job to do. The latter flooded her yet the other called out in the distance, her heart starting to spiral into two different directions, Neither of which she seemed to be enjoying,

Why is that? Time moves faster? Well... "...That's some technical mumbo jumbo that I don't really understand..." Ryouta answered.
"I don't really remember either, and I don't think you know what's processing speed is? Apparently Digital World's processing speed is higher than those of real world, and it leads to Digital World blazing faster than Real World's time. If Digital World become more advanced than now I think it'll improve to one day equal to a month or something... Meanwhile, Real World's time is always constant..."
Amethyst's question does makes sense. After all what if people found out eventually? But that's where he have the answer.
"Government usually is the first one briefed about these sort of rumors, you know? Then by how it works they usually formed some sort of organization to deal with it, the so called "phantom organization" that you don't know existed and only like some huge rumor from the net, but they actually do exist. The procedure is to wipe off several incidents as 'accidents'. Gas leak, short circuits, all that stuff... but when an incident gets too fishy, usually they would act themselves to deal with the incident."
Hmmm, to guide huh... "Well then the question is... what do you want to do for now? I mean, we're resting and just marching at slow trot, but what exactly do you want to do?"

So time in the Digital World could go even faster, one day? Ophelia blinked with visible awe, thinking it over to herself as she flopped to the side, against Amethyst - taking out another piece of jerky to munch on. "That's wild..." She'd murmur, adding "Why is the real world's processing speed constant, though? And how might the Digital World become more advanced...?" Ophelia's curiosity was unerring; that much was already obvious about the little lioness. At least this meant Amethyst had some free time to herself, before she had to head back!
And the Government... Governments were basically where important people came together to decide stuff, right? So some important people came together to deal with organizations that made sure humans didn't learn about digimon and the digital world... She supposed that that was certainly one way to protect people from entering the digital world, but just how far could they go to hide things? It seemed like eventually something would leak out, right? That eventually someone would screw up? Huhm...
Well, either way, it seemed Amethyst was ready to enjoy her holiday, whatever that meant - weren't holidays stuff like that Valentines Day she and Kitt went on a blind date for? Well, either way, Amethyst had freetime to be a tourist! "Well... There's a few different places you could go to that I know of! There's Rosewood, it's not too far from here and it's a quaint little town that's being built up - there's a pizzeria there that's super good! There's also Ys - which is the base for the team me, Ryouta, and Valt are in! Though it's also in the Northern Prominence, which is super cold - you'd want a coat for that, unless we went straight inside... Uhhhmmmm...." Ophelia's tail twitched side to side as she thought to herself, before she perked and added "Oh, Terminus too - that's sort of the central city from what I understand, but I've never been there before! I hear Luminas is really pretty too, though I've never been there either - and I guess they tend to be kind of iffy over virus Digimon. Heard that the guards are assholes too, but I only really wanna see Luminas to be able to say I've been there, too."

"Oh that's both really cool and really confusing!" Amethyst laugh at the mention of time here, blowing loose hair out of her face. "Since this is like the digital world, and the internet is like, always faster then our world, maybe that's got something to do with it?" She pondered. "I don't know, like cause my WiFi is super faster! Faster then what I could ever be!" She said, placing one hand on Ophelia's head and petting it softly, hoping she wouldn't mind.
...Amethyst wasn't actually sure what she wanted to do here, she really didn't think about this very hard huh? "Where do I wanna go? Whelp! I have no actual idea!" She said cheerily, and densely, this girl really not thinking before she speaks. As the little lion brought up a few places she'd nod eagerly, taking another piece of jerky and biting into it. "Oh wow all those places sound really fun! I'd say let's try all of them but even seven days wouldn't be enough for that." She'd laugh, admitting. "But Rosewood sounds extra good! Especially pizza - I love pizza - didn't even think a place such as this would have it! Count me on board!" She said with a smile, noting that she didn't think a lot of thing would be here, hell she didn't even think she'd end up here! But she was, and as strange as this place might be, looking around for something might not hurt.
"Maybe I could sing a song or two for people while I'm here!" She'd think. "People would like that right? I can guess the Digi world has it own styles of music? Oh! Oh! Do you guys have idols to?! Or is it something more casual?" She'd ask, curious about how something as simple as music could function here.

"Because the real world speed depends on various object in the sky, called planets and its sun. The only reason why real world planet have inhabitant is because its position in this universe is suitable for nurturing life. Other planets in our solar system is not suitable for it at all. For human world 'processing speed' to be higher is... disastrous you see. That's why, eventually I guess Real World will be completely lagging behind Digital World... unless of course, the Administrator decides to reset it... and I hope that won't be the case..." Ryouta answered.
Come to think of it, maybe in five to ten years later it will be era of 5G. When that time come probably Digital World will be tons faster than real world and it won't be able to catch up anymore... right? Thinking that sort of scenario kind of scares him. He guess a week is already enough delay, as bigger than that means whoever jumped to Digital World late would be... late for any sort of quick time response.
"Rosewood is pretty close from here I think... And there are a lot of people performing in Digital World. I think having more human performer won't hurt the slightest..." Valt commented. "Also, girl.... Whatever you do, leave Luminas alone. I'd rather hear Hikaru's worst song concert for six hours than talking with any holier than thou people from there."

Cool and confusing certainly summed it up for Ophelia. The Digital World could one day maybe pass months without a day in the real world, unless it was reset; though also, what did planets have to do with processing?? "... My head's starting to hurt trying to process all of this..." Ophelia would complain after a second, simply squishing her face against Amethyst's side, and letting out loud, muffled purring against her side when the taller girl began petting her. Her mane was thick, and perhaps a little tangled here and there in the deeper portions of it - but otherwise quite soft and fluffy, likely due to her being adapted to colder environments.
At the mention of them going to Rosewood, though, the little Spadamon would perk to glance to the other three. "Yeah! Rosewood's really nice, and I'm sure they'd love to have an idol around!" Ophelia grinned excitedly - wondering what kind of songs Amethyst would sing. With the bright colorful outfits she and her friends wore, the songs must've been pretty energetic, right? "I wanna hear you sing n see you dance, too!" Maybe she could dance with Amethyst, too? She's never really danced, but it couldn't be that hard, right?
At the mention of how bad Luminas was, though... Ophelia snickered a bit. "I knowwww, I just said that I heard that the guards there are assholes - and I also already said that I only really wanna go out there just to be able to say I've been there," She'd retort to Valt, playfully sticking her tongue out at him. "Though yeah, probably better off going to Rosewood for now; it's a bit quiet, but I like it there!"

Amethyst would nod and blink as they talked about how time worked here. "Oh I kinda get?!" She prepped up, still patting Ophelia's mane. "So like, since this place, isn't effected by the normal laws of time and space it can run differently?" She's guess. "I mean it is the digital world after all, so if it's just made of code 'n' stuff like that then it can function however it wants to, real world science-y probably don't mean as much here." Amethyst would laugh, using her free hand to rub the back of her head.
She tilted her head at the mention of Luminas. So it wasn't a very nice play then? Noted! So she won't go! "Oh jeez, this Luminas place doesn't sound that friendly." She'd laugh. "I think I'd rather go somewhere people actually be happy to see me." She shrugged, Rosewood seemed to be the better and well liked pick of everything else, and if that was the case, well.
"Rosewood it is then!" The girl would cheer. "Oh gosh it does sound fun !" She said with a smile. "I can put on whatever kinda show people want hehe! I can sing and I can dance and I can do all that jazz!!" She exclaimed.
"And uh, if this certain friend of yours is a Bad a singer as you say as they are, I can always give lessons." She'd joke at Valt.

"Well, Ophi, welcome to the world of humans. We also have hard time understanding how Digital World works. Cables on the tree? Is it live wire or is it a safe one? Trees plugged to the ground instead of by roots like how we know it? And there are even vending machines no matter where you goes... and.. just how are they powered? How are they stocked? These things are things that we worried about when we're applying human world senses to Digital World. Our logic are different because we live in such radically different worlds. What's 'common' for one person would be 'unnatural' for a person of another world. That's why I often try to handwave stuff as 'it works'," Ryouta answered.
So Rosewood it is? The parked train then slowly moved toward the destination. A fast travel would be probably a bit unwise, thus Ilbert decided to go slowly.
Valt just snorted at the 'bad singer' part. "Oh no, he's not a bad singer at all. I would dare say he's one of very few Digimons I know who have quite the voice and range... He's more to musician than singer though. it's just that he sometime purposely plays bad songs when he's in mood to prank you or is angry. He called it 'Suffering of 1000 Swans" or something along that line. Because it really sounds like squeezy, plastic chicken from hell."

Ophelia blinked a bit, before furrowing her brows and thinking over the hypotheticals that Ryouta brought up, and Amethyst's own rationalization of all of this confusing mumbo jumbo. She would 'hrm' sharply, tilting her head one way and then the other as she thought it all over - before shrugging a little. "I mean... Half of that shit is kinda new to me, too. I lived up in the mountains, y'know?" Ophelia would eventually, finally, remark once she came to a conclusion in her head. "But I guess I understand? Stuff in the Digital World just sorta doesn't work the same way in the Real World, for reasons that are, well, 'Fuck if anyone knows!'" She'd conclude, shrugging again a bit harder with the 'fuck if anyone knows'.
Still though, that was an interesting thought, which led her to wonder just how different it would be, walking around in the Real World as opposed to the Digital World. As the train got moving, and Ophelia shoved another piece of jerky in her mouth, she would try to ponder over this - tried to figure out what the rules of the Real World must've been from what she had been told alone.
As Valt and Amethyst would discuss Hikaru and his musical talent, though, Ophelia would blink. Squeezy plastic chickens from hell? She'd tilt her head - looking rather quizzical as her train of thought was derailed to this subject. What was a 'squeezy plastic chicken from hell' like? And what was a chicken, for that matter? She knew that some of the pizzas in Rosewood had meat called chicken on it, but beyond that? No clue. She did know that Hikaru's music, given that his instrument of choice tended to be loud bagpipes, tended to be a bit harsh on her sensitive ears, though - she tended to prefer going straight the other way the second he starts playing, even if it was good! But her thought would still linger on something else - "Squeezy plastic chickens from hell?" She'd ask Valt and Ryouta.
