Beverly had given this a lot of thought. In fact, even when she thought she had decided otherwise, she still thought about it. She thought about it before her "death" and, when she returned and got her memories back, thought about it more. She even prepared for this extensively, in case she needed certain things done should she decided on doing what she was about to do. May no one say this was a quick, haphazard decision on Beverly's part. Whatever happens, she will deal with the consequences. If things go very bad, they go bad.
She made a big scene at Whitewater's beach, sitting there in her Galaclivamon form, full sized. Standing at around 3 stories tall, she prepared this with an announcement leading up to this. Word of mouth, fliers, even some commercial she paid to have air on television denoted this day of a big announcement from the owner of Caritas.
Was she nervous, sort of. But her passion kept it from being overbearing. Even moreso than when she sung, all eyes were on her. However, Bev had Garm and Ghost at her side, her two closest companions. Beverly waited at the beach as others gathered around, curious to various degrees as to what this was all about.
And then the time came. She stood up, brushed off her skirt, and then cleared her throat.
"Greetings, people of Whitewater City! As some of you may know, I am Lady Beverly. Owner of the Nightclub Caritas.
I've lived here for a long while, and I must say that I do dearly love this place. I mean, I have a business here. Love the atmosphere, the warmth, the beaches, the music... I feel right at home here.
And so, that's why I will be taking over this fair city! Don't worry, I'm not attacking everyone... or anyone if I can help it. I would wish to avoid any and all damage to Whitewater and its people. I just want to rule over this place."

"Nothing here"
She showed her left sleeve
Nothing there
Her right sleeve was shown as well.
"And now there be fire!"
From both of her lands, she released a colorful display of tiny fireballs that exploded in a shower of colors, as if they were fireworks. She did that for a few seconds before unleashing a pair of actual fireballs from her hands.
"Tada!"
The few digimon and humans watching the show tossed a few bits at her, all except for one agumon who didn't look impressed
"I can shoot fireballs too, nothing impression"
"That's because you are an agumon, but have you seen a sistermon do that?"
"Ehh ... good point"
The agumon felt silly for doubting about the magical tricks of the sistermon and tossed one bit at her.
"And how for my next trick ..."
"Hey, look there!"
Her street performing was was interrupted by some loud digimon who were interested in something far more important. From what little she understood from the many digimon talking at the same time, a big shot of the place was making an announcement important enough to make several of the inhabitants stop their daily activities to rush for the annoucement spot.
Because her "business" was ruined, Dianne decided to see what was going on and there she found a rather tall digimon emanating an aura of elegance and respect. She spoke about being named Beverly, about owning a club called Caritas and ... about wanting to take control of the city. Talk about talking big time.
"Is she trying to become the governor or something like that?"
She said to nobody in particular. It was not weird for digimon to be power hungry and want more power for petty reasons, but this one seemed to want to go through peaceful methods to achieve what she wanted. If she were a charismatic tyrant or a concerned digimon who genuinely wanted to govern over whitewater city, only time would tell ....

Quite the crowd had shown up on what was turning out to be a lovely day in the southern tropics. Some kind of announcement by an, old friend of sorts. How could he resist something like this?
He'd been away for such a long time he almost forgot what Whitewater was like, the crowds, the sandy streets, the unbearable heat. Seriously why would anyone want to live here? The asphalt only worked like a magnifier to the already blistering sun above. Of course he'd have to deal with it, he couldn't do anything about the sun yet, maybe one day though.
That was a plot for another time however as it seemed they'd arrived, on the outskirts of the forming crowd of mons and men he listened, making sure to keep his distance and keep out of sight, even if he was in disguise, he didn't want to underestimate her.
"A Takeover? Hmmm, I wonder~"
"Oh I'm definitely thinking what you're thinking"
The two copies grinned at each other tooshishly before assuming new disguises and entering the croud. They moved quickly to the front, side by side, hoping the opening speech and chatter would give them time to make it to the front unnoticed before a little human girl with adorable red pigtails would wave at the giant mon from the forefront of the crowd, her 'digimon' next to her, a palmon with an eerie smile accompanying the 'girl'. #0000ff R #3F5BE3 c1 #3FBBE3 c2 #6983FF c3 #ADD8E6 c4 "Oh Oh! Misses Beverly! Can I asks you a question!", she chimed in an innoocent voice, just loud enough for the giant to hear. She was off to the side a bit but still in the front, not to many people around to hear if Beverly got close enough.
The other digimon for now remained silent, the crowd mostly chattering to itself, many nervous others not sure exactly what this takeover was about or how it would work. Though a lot of it was building around how peaceful this coup really was~

Amsel and her partner dorumon had been visiting this great city because amsel was on vacation from school, her father was off in the military for a few weeks and her mother was doing her own job leaving the girl alone. So she decided to have vacation and bond with her partner. The reason they had decided to come so far to visit this place was because they had overheard some digimon talking about how great this place was . the journey was far and tiring but in the end it was worth it for both tamer and digimon.
At this time amsel and dorumon had been out exploring shops and buying things they would need for the journey back home. The had stopped to see something from a store window when they had heard beverly's speech. They had both turned around in shock, amsel didn't blame her this place was nice but it made no sense why take over the place. She turned to doru as dorumon looked at her, they blinked before looking back at beverly. "this is not going to end well is it doru" she asked her partner who in return shook his head no. hey were at least happy to hear that she wouldn't attack anyone but she didn't think the residents would take kindly to her declaration. Hopefully things would not escalate.

There was some confusion and concern in the crowd over these turn of events. This was to be expected. Since this is a takeover, she decided to not get too wordy with explanations and motivations. Just enough to show that she was truly not malicious in her intentions.
"I'm also going to not make any big changes around here, and I assure you that should any big trouble come here I and my cohorts will protect this city! Seriously, I don't want my club flooded again..."
At this point some girl had called out to her. Of course, she was unaware that this was Tweek (but fully expected him to be here, somewhere, which is part of the reason why Ghost and Garm were here), but she kneeled down to get a better look at her.
"Okay, I'll take questions. What did you want to ask me?"

Dorumon and amsel watched from a distance, not really sure if they should leave it at that and move on to looking for another stores to shop in. In the end amsel decided that they should get closer just to get more information, dorumon followed behind her as they walked closer to the crowd around beverly and the small child. Amsel watched wonder what type of questions the small girl would ask, dorumon watched just as interested as his tamer. if push did come to shove though amsel wouldn't know what to do, she would normally try and interfere but beverly looked like she was a mega, and dorumon had only barely reached champion level. In other words they would have no choice but to flee, but that didn't mean that amsel still would not try and help. That's what worried her partner the most, she gets herself in trouble most of the time and rushes into battle with out thinking about her safety or with out a plan

The crowd was getting louder and louder, with many people, be human or digimon, discussing each other about the non-hostile takeover. Some were in favor of it, saying that Beverly was charismatic and knew the know how of management while others wondered what the hell she was trying to achieve by taking over a place that did well without her.
As for Dianne, she wasn't really sure what to think. She was just a tourist looking to see the wonders of the digital world and didn't expect to find herself in front of a political situation that could change forever how this city she just discovered was.
She advanced through the crowd of noisy digimon, went closer to this "Beverly" and was ready to ask something when another girl, a pig tailed one, took the initiative and asked first. Fortunately, Beverly seemed to be open to questions and was ready to accept any and all questions
"I have a question too"
She said, just to be sure she could ask after the pig tailed girl

Gah this was too crowded of a place, his other selves in the crowd would benefit from that but this Tweek, well this wouldn't be easy. She had to word it much better with others in earshot, and this goody goody act was making him sick. Though, he did have an idea. Originally he was going to reveal himself, in fact he expected Bev to have noticed it was him by now, or at least expect... though with her oblivious he could deepen the ruse and have a little fun~
"Well I weally like da mayor of this town! I think he does a good job and palmon and him are really good friends! So... so!", he balled his little girl hands trying to sound determined but in the cutest way possible "I challenge you to a battle! Palmon and me want to keep this city just the way it is!", she cried, the crowd shaken by this sudden development.
There would be no way a little girl and a rookie could fight off this imposing mega, and with more of himself spreading his 'influential' whispers among the crowd with their crimson tongues, her image was standing on pillars of sand. The whispers grew to roars of chatter, some rumors of a land owner having been found mutilated in her club at one point, others of her working with shadier groups as well. Some suggesting her dark plans for the city.
"I really don't like the sound of this, I hear she used to work with Hakai, that group that just killed for fun a long while back", Amsel would hear behind him, a conversation between what appeared to be a gatoman and a frogmon, the frogmon gasping and looking to the front. His words would sound oddly trustworthy to the boy and his digimon, almost having a nice weight to them, a layer of comfort.
The Palmon would step forward between the little 'tamer' and Beverly looking up at her, ready to start an unwinnable fight.

Beverly smirked at the challenge from this little girl. While still not expecting that this was Tweek, Beverly was actively taking over this city. She knew she would step on a few toes.
"Well, if the mayor wishes to help run this city under me, he's more than welcome to speak to me.
But if you're determined to fight me to keep this town as is, it would be pointless. As I said, I wish to avoid any big changes, and I wish to avoid fighting anyone. "
Beverly listened to the crowd, making out some of the things some of them said.
"Mutilated land owner? Working for Hakai?"
She gave out an amused chuckle. Indeed, Tweek was here. As expected, he tried to sully her name with rumors. And she knew that he was a shapeshifter. She spoke to to the crowd, unsure of where exactly he may have been. That girl and Palmon might be Tweek as well...
"Oh Tweek, you thorn in my side, I figured you would be here. Go ahead and dispense your rumors about me.
The mutilated land owner? I can honestly say I have no idea what you're talking about. But don't think I've forgotten how you tried to steal part ownership of my nightclub.
As for Hakai... I never worked for Hakai. I worked for a splinter group of Hakai, in a previous life. But I have no ties with either of them.
So, Tweek, and more rumors you wish to spread about me? Maybe you should reveal yourself before I do it myself... because I have ways to see which in the crowd are denizens and which are you in disguise."

"Umm ...."
She didn't really know what to do in this situation. It started like an apparently peaceful claim for power, but things started to get quite chaotic when some people spoke about things very negative against Beverly. Hakai? Mutilation? The mafia? Just what kind of person Beverly was?
Things were getting very heated in the middle of the crowd. Many were horrified at the idea of Caritas being the site of a brutal murder, and others were booing at the large digimon due her apparent ties with this shady organization known as Hakai. A revolt against her could explode at any second ... but then the organizer of the speech event raised her voice again and claimed that all of them were lies and schemes against her produced by no other than some Tweek guy.
"Hey, do you know about any Tweek person? He sounds like an important person and an important enemy of her"
She asked to a nearby pair of dorumon and a female human.

This seemed to be working to stir up things, she may have made her claims but the chatter didn't cease, the seeds of doubt were already planted.
"We're here to prevent you from silencing the voices of the people. You're saying all these voting people's voices don't matter!" The palmon shouted, eliciting a new type of reaction, it was true, no matter how peaceful she claimed it to be it was forceful.
"Yea if you're so peaceful why are you up there in that form trying to intimidate us? Bully tactics afraid no one will stand up?" Someone shouted from the crowd. Others still continuing their chatter.
"I think I can answer, I heard a little about Tweek once. Apparently he was a Digimon who fought against this Vexus when they were attacking Luminas and the origin of light. Trying to steal it to take over the world. For all we know this is another plot of theirs", he said to the girl, having been near the other two.
"So you're not gunna fight me? Come on! Or is this takeover an empty threat?" Palmon huffed, the little girl smiling a bit with her face toward Bev alone, something familiar about that grin. It only lasted a moment though, a hint. Would it be noticed though? And even more so while Beverly was loud she didn't have Tweeks little edge to his voice, that persuasive whisper coaxing others into a sense of honesty layered underneath.

Upon hearing the conversation behind them dorumon and amsel looked at each other, but when they hear beverly deny it they looked at her and soon they heard all kinds of things being said by the digimon around them. Amsel looked all around her and soon swirls were visible in her eyes, she held her head as she fell on her butt "oh man! i don't know who to believe doru!" she said to her partner. Dorumon only sweat dropped at his tamers antics, he for one believed the digimon around them, he didn't know why but he did. Amsel was snapped out her confusion when the digimon near her asked her if she knew who tweek was, Both dorumon and amsel looked at her and shook their heads. "no sorry i don't know him" amsel said. Dorumon noticed how load things were getting, it seemed that the digimon were not believing beverly and instead put their faith in the romers. Amsel noticed as well and looked around things were going to get out of hand soon she could feel it. when beverly spoke once again they both looked up at her surprised to know that this tweek person was in the crowd of digimon right now.

Beverly offered another chuckle at the "Palmon"'s outburst.
"Alright, Tweek, against my better judgement I'll play your little game..."
"NO!"
Beverly, as well as Garm, turned to a fuming Ghost, her reverberating voice making her anger all the more apparent.
"I'm tired of Tweek's games and disguises and lies! You know what he did! How he tried to use you to kill the leader of Circus by holding Garm hostage! How he tried to take part ownership of Caritas from you! He hurt Fishy! He almost killed your older sister!! That wretched walking piece of filth doesn't deserve to live!"
Despite Beverly hating Tweek as much as Ghost did, Ghost was never able to quite mask her anger towards him and what he did. Whether or not Bev was being truthful may have been in question, but Ghost's outburst... not so much.
The HyldenImpmon walked over to the girl. As Bev and Ghost were able to share thoughts, and Bev having caught that grin, Ghost was certain that she was Tweek. She would place a hand on the girl's head.
"Remember this... we have our ways of figuring out which one of you is in disguise. So stop hiding... or are you going to play more games with the people here like the coward you are?"
Beverly allowed this to happen. Tweek was a little manipulator and having him around is dangerous.

Sadly, neither the dorumon nor the girl knew anything about this enigmatic Tweek person, but one of the other digimon there shared rumors about him being a champion of justiced that saved the world from Vexus. However, something didn't click well for her; if he were a hero, why would he spread rumors about Beverly instead of facing her directly? Why he hid in the middle of the crowd if Beverly was a villain? If Bev was genuinely a villain, she wouldn't hesitate to attack and injure the people Tweek was using as human and digimon shields to hide himself.
Despite how weird the situation was, some members of the crowd had a point; the owner of Caritas was in the strongest stage a digimon can hope to achieve, so if negotiations to acquire ownership of the city failed, the one with the most raw power would have the upper hand if things got violent, and then there were the minions she mentioned to have, who had as many chances of being enforcers of law as of being enforcers of a tyrannicanal ruler. She decided to give Bev the advantage of doubt as she hadn't done anything wrong for now and was even willing to humor the palmon who insisted in fighting for the sake of the status quo.
And then the unexpected happened and one of Beverly's acquantances that stayed silent so far suddenly got angry and started to says things about this supposed hero Tweek, horrible things like kidnapping, blackmailing to force her to work as assassin and attempted murder of Bev's sister. The hyldenimpmon got closer to the girl who was with the palmon and accused her of being Tweek!
"But wait, wasn't tweek supposed to be a male?"
She had heard about the holosuit technology, but she didn't know if it could also alter the voice of somebody, so that left her puzzled about how could that human girl be that infamous Tweek person

"So what, you're just gunna say whoever opposes you is this tweek now? More tactics to assert power.", the digimon behind the girl stated again, this time as a loud scoff. He also doubted Ghost's threats of violence outright during a "peaceful takeover" would be taken so kindly to by the crowd as well. Anger, unrest, distrust, they were all spreading faster than the chatter. This was his favorite kind of game, and of course he assumed he'd never loose, that was always his key to victory.
An outburst? Anger? Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! "Wh.. what are you talking about! No get away from me!", the little girl cried out, a look of confusion and terror on her face as she took a step back, the menacing Ghost approaching her as her digimon tensed up watching the scene practically shaking in fear itself. "L..lemme go! No Pal help!", she cried out, the palmon rushing forward and going after Ghost with a whip of her extending vines to try to free his tamer from the high leveled mon. "LET HER GO! "
Gasps and shocked shouts from the crowd erupted out. A digimon from the front even tried to step forward to help but a trollmon held his arm out, blocking him "No are you crazy! Don't make it worse! Stay back!", he growled. Though no matter who's side they were on the crowd was getting restless. There were people on both sides... it was almost time for the grand finale.
