Crazy Catch Consoles Crystal Candidly (Tim)

Catch could almost sense a feeling of confliction and sadness. As a maniacal masseur, he had to sense these things out. To control one's emotions by his very touch, and to feel out the emotions to gain better control, this is what the CatchMamemon sought to do as he flew around the woods, keeping an eye out for his next subject.
"Oh I can feel it, Catch-bot! Some poor wretched soul just in need for a working! Another body I can conquer!"
"DESTROY-SADNESS"
"Yes, yes my Catch-bot!"
And then, Catch began to break out in a maniacal laugh that would make some card carrying villains jealous... although in his distraction he flew into a tree branch and knocked himself out of Catch-bot, uttering little more than an "oof" as she fell onto the dirt below.
"UNHARMED?"
"Yes, yes... why didn't you move when you realized I was going to fly into a tree branch?"
"CRUISE-CONTROL"
"...I need to work on your programming some more."

Crystal was lying down near a tree as she watched the sky through the broken canopy above. With both Sanoske and Pure out on there long overdue fishing trip, she thought it would be best to spend some time outside of that stuffy warehouse. The past few days have been... Tough to say the least. She had recently found out that her attempt to save Pure had only ended up sealing his fate with that monster. Sure Pure didn't seem to blame her at all, and even went out of his way to keep it a secret from her. Yet that only made her feel more guilty about the whole thing. He was actively trying to protect her from her own mistake to spare her feelings.
"What should I do? Surely there must be something I can do to help him." Crystal asked herself as she wrapped her mind around the problem. It was futile however. Even if she had in depth knowledge about how exactly Hylden possession worked, she probably still have no clue what to do.
Fortunately she didn't need to think about it any longer as she heard something in distance. It sounded like maniacal laughter. Familiar maniacal laughter. Then there was what sounded like a crash of some kind.
"What's going on?" She wondered out loud as she began to head off towards where she believed she heard the crash. Her mind now trying to remember where exactly she heard that laughter before.

Catch-bot lowered itself to the ground before Catch hopped back in, rubbing his head. In an attempt to make Catch feel a bit better, Catch-bot decided to do something to help.
"EASY-LISTEN-TURN-ON"
Easy listening music began to play from Catch-bot as he gave himself a second to recoup. He needs all his mental faculties to properly offer a message, and he wanted to be sure he had all that.
"Hold on... let's look around here. Perhaps the allure of such music will bring about to us someone in need to be put down!"
The search continued for a little while longer, until Catch saw a Lopmon. He had experience with a Lopmon before, he knew one who was dating that large Gazimon thing he couldn't message. Of course, seeing she was alone and bearing a new scar, to Catch, she was just another Lopmon.
At the very least, he wouldn't kidnap her. He doesn't want to get shot at again.
Standing on top of the machine triumphantly, he dramatically pointed to Crystal.
"Lonely one, do you wish for me to strangle your dreariness away!?"
"DESTROY-SADNESS"
"I will break you and reshape you! You will know only a world which I rule! The leader in comfort!"
"PRODUCE-COMFORT"
"I am CATCHMAMEMEON!"
"CATCH-BOT" "The Master Masseur duo of the century!!! Heheheheh!"

Is that music I hear now? Crystal wondered as she continued to walk. It sounded like it was getting closer too. It wasn't long before she ended up seeing where exactly the music is from.
"Oh... It's you." The Lopmon replied as her facial expression shifted to one of disappointment. Realizing exactly why she remembered that weird laugh. "Your not trying to kidnap people again, are you?"
Crystal eyed Catch carefully as waited for a reply with her arms crossed around her waist. While she knew that Catch was mostly harmless, she still couldn't approve of his methods. She never could get why a masseur as talented as himself needed to go out of his way to kidnap his clientele.

"RECOGNITION? WORD-OF-MOUTH?
"Hmmm..., no, no, I recognize that voice..."
The two had lowered themselves, with Catch then going out on foot as he examined the Lopmon before him, spending a few seconds looking down the newly acquired scar on her ear.
"As a masseur I must know to avoid any trouble spots."
Walking back to CB, Catch crossed his arms and chuckled a bit.
"Well, Crystal, I take it that things has happened during our time apart. And no, I have not been kidnapping others for some time. A surprising lack of digimon just cannot feel the gratefulness of being stolen from their pitiful existence to touch heaven by our hands. That, and I do not wish for Catch-bot to be repeatedly damaged."
"GRATITUDE"
"I may be passionate, but I'm not suicidal! Anyway, Catch-Bot! Ready the BED CANNON! Crystal here reeks of mental conflict and I intend to crush it!"
The last bit was said with the appropriate hand gesture before he stepped aside. A cannon folded out of CB and was aimed at Crystal.
"This won't hurt a bit."

Crystal raised a skeptical eyebrow when Catch claimed he hasn't kidnapped others for some time. A part of her wondered what exactly he meant by some time. Still he didn't seem to be lying, and she believed that he didn't want his bot to be damaged anymore. Perhaps she could afford to relax a little.
"You know a massage doesn't sound... Wait. What do you mean by Bed Cannon?" She found herself asking as she stared at the cannon aimed at her. Did that thing really shoot beds? And why did she have the nagging feeling that this will, in fact, hurt?

"It's an experimental device which beds anyone hit by it. Like so."
The cannon was fired at Crystal, and the shot simply looked like an energy sheet, and sounded like it as well. Upon being struck by it, she would be knocked backwards and... somehow face down onto a small table, much like what any masseur would use to give messages. At the very least, it wouldn't hurt. There was indeed force to the blast, but it would feel like little more than a strong gust of wind.
"For marketing purposes I cannot call this Table Cannon. Others might thing I will put them on a table with this, so I decided to go with Bed Cannon."
"INCENSE?"
"Good question. I've also invested in some incense. And for you, this will make your return to my heaven! And now... it's time for me to operate!
But before that I'd also like to know if you are comfortable. Heh heh heh heh, I must maximize the elation one shall feel!"

When the cannon fired, Crystal found herself being pushed backwards by some sheet of energy. However instead of landing on the ground on her back as she expected, she somehow landed face first on some type of bed. It also surprised her to notice that it didn't hurt at all. How in the world did that happen?
"Uhh... I guess. Still a little shaken from being blasted at with a cannon though." She shared with Catch. Why in the world did he think having a Bed Cannon would help his customers out at all? Actually nevermind. She knew the answer to that. Catch was insane.

"Do not worry about it. The cannon is purely for field operations. And it allows me to install a few more things within Catch-Bot."
"TWENTY-NEW-TRACKS
PILE-INCENSE
MODIFIED-SAUNA-SCREEN"
"We're not going over all that. But speaking of incense... something light."
Catch pointed to a spot on the ground before CB shot out what looked like a thin stick with an end on slightly alit. This was the Pile-Incense, and the smoke gave off a light smell similar to fresh flowers. CB also started to play some soft music as the CatchMamemon began to work on Crystal, starting from her upper back. Indeed, for as crazy Catch was, he could at least back up his boasts of his skills as a masseur.
"Now, if you wish to tell me, what has been happening since I last laid my awesome hands on you? And is that ear a problem area?" He spoke a bit calmer to her. Slightly. Still, he was working and didn't want to startle his client.

Crystal wasn't exactly sure how a cannon allowed Catch to install more things in his bot. She would have thought that it would do quite the opposite. Yet it appeared to work for Catch, so maybe she's just overlooking something.
"My ear? What do you mean by it being a problem area?" Crystal asked as she instinctively grabbed her scarred ear. While she was slowly getting use to the hylden mutation she had suffer, someone pointing it out made her feel... depressed. It was as if it was the physical culmination of all the bad things that had happened these past few months.
She wasn't even sure if she should say anything to Catch about what had happened either. It's not like he would quite understand what was going on and she didn't know if she was willing to explain everything at this time. On the other hand, it'd be nice to have a friendly ear to speak to about this. Especially someone not connected to the whole Hylden thing that was going on. So should she tell him, or should she just stay silent?

Catch looked at Crystal, seemingly unfazed at her sudden reaction. He had also briefly stopped messaging her. Something was definitely up with her, and whatever it was, it led to her ear being scarred.
And seeing this reaction, even Catch decided to try to not be so... Catch. Defusing this situation was important for him to allow Crystal to obtain bliss through his hands. And an overly tense body detracts from that.
"I was initially asking on the off chance it was some scar that recently healed. But I can see that is no normal scar.
Something is weighing heavily on you mentally, and that ear of your is linked to it. And something tells me it's not an issue of vanity. You're deeper than that, I can tell.
Despite what you may think of me, I only want to kill stress, not cause it. Will me working on that ear cause you stress?"

Crystal blinked as she listened to Catch. He seemed to be more gentle then he usually was. It was obvious that it was mostly so he could accomplish his job. But still, it was kind of nice.
"I... I don't know." Crystal answered honestly as she took the opportunity to sit up and rub her scarred ear, "My ear has felt... Weird since it gained this 'scar'. It doesn't hurt. More it just doesn't feel natural. Though I guess that makes sense considering."
Crystal went silent for a second before laying back down. "Sorry. You can go ahead and continue with your massage."

Catch listened intently to Crystal as she spoke. Yes, listening was also a good way to aid others in relieving stress. Of course, Catch was not unsympathetic to her feelings.
"So, I will take that as my cue to leave that ear alone."
And back to messaging he went. Sure, he wasn't much for leaving such a large portion of her body untouched but it couldn't be helped.
They had ample time to get back into that conversation. However, Catch decided to talk about himself. He didn't want to pry just yet into Crystal's situation.
"I truly do enjoy doing this. To know that my hands can, given the chance, make others happy. And I want to make others happy by any means that allows my skills to be used... without doing harm, of course.
Alas, unfortunately I do not have the technology to install a teleporter in Catch-bot to transport clients directly to my base of operations. Oh well, fieldwork has its perks, heheheheh."

One thing was sure. Catch never lies about being a skilled masseur. His hands felt like it was making all her stress melt away. Well... At least most of it.
Speaking of which Crystal really appreciated the change of subject. She rather not dwell on that stuff right now. Though she wondered if she had just lost her chance to get all of her frustration off her chest. Maybe get a fresh set of eyes on her problem.
Even if those eyes were from a crazy masseur.
"Your base of operations? Where is that at?" Crystal asked curiously as Catch went to work. A little happy that he didn't have said teleporter yet. She rather not end up being whisked off to parts unknown. Who knows how Sanoske and Pure would react to that.

"My base is a good distance from here, actually. It isn't much to look at, though, but it's not altogether unpleasing to a modest eye.
But since I do travel far from the base, I have Catch-bot set up to support fieldwork.
Some may wonder why I don't set up in a more populated area, but I say to those delusional fools 'Why would I ignore untapped market potential?'"
Catch began to work Crystal's sides and lower back as he continued to talk.
"Citygoers need stress relief as well, but there's many distractions. Out here, there's more weary bodies to find and to shape up. A perfect way to find and work my magic and perhaps get some word of mouth advertisement going on, hehehehe."
