The Melancholy of Gallatin Monado [Open]

"Hah. Tell me about it." Gallatin said, agreeing with Luna. A small frown played across his face though at the fact that she wasn't actually a student here.
"Well, at least that explains a lot though." Chipped in ShadowGallatin. It did make sense though, because even with regular transfer students, it didn't take but an hour or so for them to get caught up on the "pecking order".
"I don't like coming here at all, but my parents are forcing me. I need to get an education so I can go to some smart college so that I can get a crappy, but well-paying job that'll allow me to get my future kids to go through the whole thing again when they go to school. Then the cycle will repeat for generations and generations!" He shook his hands in a pseudo-grandiose fashion to exemplify his sarcastic tone. "But meh, like I said I'm used to it all so I don't care. It beats getting stabbed with an arrow or breaking my legs under an avalanche somewhere."
He continued on though, surprising himself on how talkative he was being. It seemed he was falling back into the bad habit of not shutting up. "Besides, it's not that bad here. Sure the kids are jerks, but some of the teachers are nice and leave me well alone. Speaking of schooling though, since you don't go to this school I'm assuming your not coming back tomorrow?"

Luna finally learned the cycle of what humans have to go through, and it honestly sounded far more dull then anything she had heared before. "I don't quite understand why that all happens but it sounds bad." Luna agreed, a endless cycle of this didn't sound like the best thing. But when he brought up the last things Luna gave a small sigh. "Yeah, suppose this is much calmer then what normally goes down." Luna agreed, it did sound a lot easier and no one has tried to kill her yet so that was a large change of pace.
Luna gave a small nod. "Yeah, I was supposed to just look around and meet back with my boyfriend and friend but I uhh ended up not where I wanted to be. If that wasn't obvious." Luna then gave a small shrug. "But I'm going to be around for a while, maybe we'll meet again." it was totally possible they could.

"Huh. Well okay." Gallatin murmured, before turning back around his seat. He laid his face onto his desk table sideways before staring at the clock as the minutes passed by.
2:45 He began counting down from 100.
2:50 Gallatin started counting down from 200.
3:00 He began humming the theme from an anime.
3:05 The teacher tried to humiliate Gallatin by asking him how to read out a paragraph in English. The teacher failed miserably.
3:14 Gallatin picked up his bag and swung its strap over his right shoulder.
He turned in his seat as the bell was about to ring. Suddenly an idea came to him. Getting out of his chair, he stepped over to where Luna was sitting to talk to her. "Hey Luna. You said you got separated from your friends earlier right?" Gallatin asked, thinking he could at least lend a helping hand to her. "If you want, I can help you look for them? I don't really have anything to do after school anyway."
Before Gallatin could get an answer though, his frame was quickly eclipsed and forced out of the doorway with the throng of angsty students wanting to leave for the day. "Hey, wait. Watch it!" His words fell on deaf ears though as he was soon forced out of sight. "Meet me at the front gates!" Gallatin yelled, his voice fading away as he was pushed down the hallway and towards the entrance by the crowd.

But pretty much as she nodded people swarmed around pushing Gallatin away. She heared what he said and got up herself moving through the crowd not easily but manageable. Eventually she found herself back outside where she looked for Gallatin.
Meanwhile in the same place.
Dust had finally looked over every area in Shibuya except for one. The school which he never wanted to come back to. Dust silently walked around moving to a area where people were not with his hood up masking his face. He had changed his clothes to the plaid shirt that some guy gave him before but he kept his hoodie over it. Why he had to change clothes was anyone's guess.
Hackmon hid in a tree nearby sitting inside of the branches. Dust looked around for a bit wondering if she was even here, if not where could she of gone?

Gallatin finally detached himself from the never ending throng of students escaping the school, nearly falling down the front steps in the process. However, he managed to catch himself on the railing just in time and was spared the gruesome fall. Taking a deep breath to take his bearings, Gallatin then proceeded down the remaining steps and through the courtyard to the front gates of the school-complex.
Setting his bag down for a while, Gallatin kept his eyes peeled on the crowd to see if Luna was coming out. In the corner of his eye, he thought that something large had moved in one of the trees. He turned his head towards the tree and scanned it for a few moments, but there was nothing there when he took another look. Shrugging his shoulders, Gallatin resumed searching the doorway and staircase over with his eyes until he finally saw Luna walking outside.
"Hey Luna. Over here." He said while raising one arm into the air, both trying to be loud enough to draw her attention, but at the same time quiet enough to be unnoticed by anyone else. What resulted was a half quiet, half loud "shout" that made him look especially spazzy.

Dust nearly froze, he had heard the snazzy response that called for Luna, but it had come from a voice he recalled all to well. Silently he moved around the tree he was standing near allowing to go block him. He looked up at Hackmon before holding his hand up freezing in place. He took the signal and stopped looking around.
Dust had to question exactly how Luna found her way here. He also had to question how she didn't remember Gallatin should this be the same Luna, though he wouldn't doubt this was the same Luna.
Luna heared him and slowly made her way over to Gallatin, she moved through some kids who were just standing around talking, humans were weird. "Hey." she said with a small wave as she walked over to him.

Gallatin directed at her a warm smile, a sight that the other kids loitering around found quite disturbing since it was a very uncommon occurrence. He picked back up his bag and began walking next to Luna out of the gates and onto the sidewalk. "So do you have any idea where your friends normally hang out and stuff?" Gallatin asked while carrying his bag in one hand, bent backwards over his shoulder so that his bag balanced on his shoulder blade.
As they walked down the road, they were forced to stop as the railroad signs came down, signalling an approaching train. Gallatin felt something stir inside of his head, and decided to check up on his counterpart. "Hey Shadic, you alright?" He asked, feeling his "friend" acting weird.
"There are three digimon here. One's been tailing you for the whole day and I think joined up with two others when you guys left the school, though my detection range is kinda imprecise." He explained while confirming his suspicions from earlier. Apparently he had seen something earlier and wasn't just imagining it. "They could be anywhere around you within a 25 meter radius."
Gallatin nodded unconsciously at what ShadowGallatin had told him for a second, as if his reaction would be quite tame. Then his voice exploded inside of his mindscape at his double. "YOU TELL ME THIS NOW!?!? YOU'VE JUST BEEN LETTING A DIGIMON FOLLOW ME ALL DAY AND NOW YOU DECIDE ITS WORTH SAYING?" Gallatin was quite peeved. An irritated look displayed across his face for a moment before he calmed himself and started taking note of their surroundings more, not even listening for his counter-part to explain himself. He looked over to Luna as the train passed, wondering if she would get mad at him for leaving her in case the digimon might attack soon.

Hackmon leaned a bit closer to Dust. "Get wasn't that Luna, why don't we pursue?" he asked wondering why Dust was just standing there. "That's the guy I told you about before, Gallatin. As you know he isn't the kindest around digimon, which makes it odd that he hasn't said anything to Luna yet."
"Maybe he thinks she's a actual girl." if that was the case so when Dust walked around the residential district he was instantly suspicious and followed and talked to him while looking like someone else. Luna comes in and he just accepts it like life and walks around. Though the gender they specified with was different so maybe that had to do something with it, maybe he was. Dust instantly snapped a branch he was messing with in his hands as this thought came into mind.
"Alright lets just go back to the mall, I'm sure she can find her way back." Dust said getting up. However for one reason or another a crowd of people surrounded him, teenagers. Girls looking at him and guys looking at the girls. "Get the hell out of my way." Dust said easily pushing his way through, easy to say everyone was shocked. Girls shocked that rejection came so easily, guys shocked that some guy just rejected everyone. So shocked they didn't notice Hackmon running past.
Luna noticed the look on Gallatin before he changed it. "Is everything alright?" she asked wondering if he stepped on something. That would suck.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Gallatin answered, reassuring the girl. He took another breath to calm himself before turning back to the passing train and wait for the barrier to lift. "So is there a place you and your friends normally hang out or something? We could start looking there if you want." He tried his best to sound casual, like he hadn't just been told there were digital monsters lurking in the shadows 1-25 meters away.
"Two of the digimon are gone again." ShadowGallatin interrupted his train of thought once again. "They might have been just meeting up with the one stalking you. Either way keep your guard up."
Gallatin nearly scoffed out loud at this. As if he needed to be told to keep his guard up after all the things Gallatin had been through because of digimon. Nevertheless, he kept his eyes peeled in hopes of possibly spotting the bogey digimon that had been trailing him the entire day.

Luna shook her head No. "Nah there isn't anywhere specific we go, I was told to meet them somewhere but I forgot where it was. However they should be looking for me by now." Luna said wondering where they were, Dust was smart right? He should know by now Luna shouldn't be trusted with anything, much less directions of any sort going anywhere. Even in a straight line she would most likely get lost.
Dust and Hackmon had been going the opposite way, yup just the opposite way but then that thought Creeped back into his mind and he went towards the direction Luna went again. With a sigh he sped up his pace and grabbed his hood throwing it down low with the hope that the change in outfit and hood would make him not look like him, plus Luna could easily play to a advantage so if he is recognized he hoped she wouldn't say anything.

Gallatin sweat-dropped at what Luna was telling him. "You really forgot something like that? Come on Luna!" He chuckled nervously while trying to think of a way to get her to remember. "Are you sure you don't remember where you were supposed to meet? Was it a gas station? A restaurant? Your friends' school? The mall?" He hoped he had jogged her memory or something.
"Hey Gallatin, remember when I said those two digimon were leaving?" Interrupted, you guessed it, ShadowGallatin once more. His timing while Gallatin was mid-thought, impeccable as usual. "Well, they're back in range now and approaching at a reeeaaaaally fast speed. You should probably get out of dodge."
Ugh. This day was just getting better and better. It would be totally his luck if the only person that he had befriended ended up getting killed by a digimon. Thankfully, the train finished passing by and the road barriers lifted. Gallatin began walking at a quickened pace, imploring Luna to follow suit as they quickly crossed the railed street. "Hey Luna, I have an idea. We should go check out some of the popular arcades and malls. Maybe we'll find your friend there?" Gallatin suggested to her, in hopes that they could possibly find a way to lose the 3 digimon tailing them.

Dust was moving fast, not running but going fast enough so you knew he wanted to be somewhere. Hackmon followed quickly after but then got his scarf stuck around another object. He kicked his feet but was luckily not in a position to be seen. "Just go and get Luna, I can get myself out of this." he said working around the knot. Dust nodded and kept moving.
Luna followed Gallatin wondering why they were going so fast. "Arcade? Uhh sure I guess. Though they don't seem the type I guess maybe they would think I went there." Dust and Hackmon didn't seem the type to go to those places despite having plans to meet there Since it was pretty hard to miss. Luna did however miss those areas. "Also yeah I can't remember. Might of not been paying attention." the real reason she hadn't been was because she was excited to be wandering around.

Sighing to himself, Gallatin tried his best to keep his eyes peeled for any suspicious characters as they walked down the street. Digimon could look like anything for pete's sake! They maintained a relatively fast pace for a while before slowing down to more of a brisk stroll when they neared a downhill turnpike.
ShadowGallatin was trying his best to keep an eye on the 3 digimon constantly following them also, noting that they always stayed within the proximity of the 25 meter range. There was no doubt these ones were following Gallatin now. Wordlessly, he conveyed this information to his bodily counter-part, only for Gallatin to nod his head slightly in acknowledgment.
Finally, the two of them approached one of the popular arcade buildings that was as good a place as any to start looking for Luna's friends. Before they went in though, Gallatin really needed know what her friends looked like. Hopefully this search wouldn't take too long. He really needed to find a way to lose those digimon tailing them too. "Hey Luna," Gallatin's voice broke the silence as the door to the arcade opened and numerous music noises and voices became audible. "what do your friends look like again?"

Dust managed to keep a good pace without moving to fast, he didn't want to make it look like he was chasing these two. What it instead looked like was him late for something and hurrying along so he could get to where he needed to be. Dust swore Luna should know he was here, she had like a sixth sense of something when it came to him. Or Dust isn't good at hiding that could also be true.
Luna kept going and thought about it for a bit. "Well one has black hair and two different colored eyes while the other is white with a red scarf and goggles." since she didn't know what to call Hackmon she just decided on that name. Luna kept following him but managed to glance back seeing the hooded Dust. She however went inside knowing Dust would follow.
The Holo suited Digimon quickly went inside before giving a small sigh. "Hey." he called out hood masking most of his face, he didn't want Gallatin to talk to him again but Dust really had no choice now.

Gallatin's body twitched in surprise, missing a breath in surprise as he heard the person speak out to them. He turned around, making sure to place himself between the person and Luna just in case he was the digimon in disguise. Calming his heart rate down though, Gallatin responded. "Um. Can I help you?"
He had to concentrate hard, but Gallatin was pretty sure he'd seen this guy before; sadly he couldn't remember where. Maybe just passing by the street or something? Nevertheless, he fit the description of one of Luna's friends that she said they were looking for. Multicolored eyes? Check. Black hair? Check. Still, it was a vague description that still could be someone else.
Turning towards his friend, Gallatin decided to ask Luna for confirmation. "Hey Luna, is this guy one of the friends you were looking for?" He asked while lazily pointing a thumb at the person.
