Oh, it seemed Albon really did want to be left alone. Colin hoped that everything would calm down. He would be very annoyed if Kon-Chan and Albon's partners still wanted to argue throughout the night, mind. But she had a point, if being in the digital world was so bad for them, they should really go home. It was entirely optional being here of course.
"I see" Luke said, scratching his chin in thought, tugging at his blue scarf a little. "Well, maybe once Snowflake Village is active again we could convince the Trailmon network to come up this way?" he suggested. "Of course that's probably a long way down the line though, first we've gotta get the digimon back here!"
They watched as Warg cut the blocks of ice with his Plasma Blade. Bellamy whistled, impressed. "Nice work there, big guy" he said, pleased. "Now then... next we gotta build the blocks up, right?"
"Sure looks that way" Colin said. He began to push the largest ice blocks along the ground. His partners helped, and soon they had a ring of ice blocks forming the base.
"I suppose we gotta melt the ice a little to make the blocks stick, right?" Bellamy suggested. "You can just leave that to me" he grinned and held a fireball in his hand. "A little badda-boom should work nicely!"
"Hope you don't get too tired doing that, Bellamy" Luke said. "It'd take over a hundred blocks to make an igloo big enough I think". Bellamy's smile faded a little. 200 badda-booms for the two igloos... that was something he wasn't sure he was capable of. But he still smiled anyway.
"Eh, I like a challenge!" he said. "Besides, it'll keep us all warm while we work!"

"That''d be hard to be honest," Koharu answered. "Let's see... assume that means we need to make this into public and then somehow do something about this place... I wonder if people gonna do it? I've been here for less than seven years digital world wise and there are no changes... which means, we probably gonna need to take this upon our own hand, Luke. Well, I'd probably suggest in PROFIT council that we do job like this, but as PROFIT itself is no organization where an officer, even founder, could mobilize the members without them being interested to begin with, that's gonna be hard. Remember, we're organization where silver tongue most likely needed. I'm here just for fun and make a place where we could rest in case there are no shelter. All in all: Where's the profit in case we want to build something like that?"
...Somehow it sounded like she know, but purposely testing the boys to tell her their opinion. Koharu is an enigma like that. While she's quite brilliant at times, at another she's just manzai boke that seem to be a bit loose on the head.
"Big guy?" Warg parroted. "For you~"
Again, Kon-chan whacked him above the head.
"Stop your Bane meme and return to work."
"Gee, Anego, you're such a fun killer~"
Of course Koharu devolved Warg to Black Growmon afterward. He helped with the rest of the people to build the igloo. Appreciating Bellamy's work, He raised a claw up in approval while nodding. "...It might be rude and heartless," Kon-chan suddenly said. "But it's best if the boy build his own.igloo, Bellamy. He did said that he'll make it himself. If he need help, then help. If not, don't interfere. I want him to learn that."

Luke listened to Koharu eagerly. The Elecmon was enjoying this discussion, he really hadn't had the chance to share some of his braininess with other people yet. And even better, he liked how he could keep up with Koharu's line of thinking, seeing the girl as fairly logical. He thought about the problem - how to get digimon and perhaps humans back up this way in the first place? Exploring wasn't really a thing.
"Hmm. Well, we're members of PROFIT too... but yeah, it's probably no use making shots in the dark here". The Elecmon tapped his chin for a moment, then thought he came up with a good idea. "I know! I might make it a little side project of mine to find a little bit about the history and lore of Snowflake Village. You know - find out why digimon made this their home in the first place. I mean, there's a reason the town was built, right? Digimon don't just find a spot in the middle of nowhere and go 'Let's build something' do they?".
"Hm. That sounds like a good idea, Luke" Colin said to his partner, encouraging his enterprising train of thought. "I mean, if there's some kind of resource around here, or something that's profitable, we could attract people up this way for jobs and soon we could have a bustling town again".
"Super special awesome" Bellamy grinned. He looked up as Warg made the reference and giggled. "Ah ya memelord" he said.
As Warg de-digivolved to BlackGrowlmon to help with the igloo, Kon-Chan advised that Bellamy should let Albon build his own igloo, seeing as he wanted it that way. The Impmon was slightly unsure, but, he supposed she had a point. "Alright... I just hope he doesn't freeze out there" he said.
The igloo was coming along nicely now. When Bellamy applied his fireballs to the edges of the ice blocks, they melted ever so slightly, then re-froze quickly, making it a very sturdy structure. Soon the igloo was as big as Colin, and soon there wasn't much more to go. Of course the ice blocks for the roof needed to be cut in a slightly different shape, and were still quite heavy. Colin and his partners left it to Warg to place the last few blocks in place.

"You're skipping too far ahead," Koharu said after the Igloo is finished and both Warg and Kon-chan now in their child stage. She know it felt like tossing cold water on flame... no, she's probably dumping snow on their flame even. "...That's still too vague to make people move. Business orientated people like us doesn't really move on 'probability' that vague. We need something more realistic. If you look at surrounding area," Koharu opened a map and showed them "Look, this is the only place where yelling probably won't cause avalanche. Remember too that this place is most likely the place where nice ice Digimons can stay. Now there are several other places around here, but most are strange. They're mostly unhabitable place. If you think of something that can pull people to us that's synonymous to glory, that'd be the burial site, Frozen Mausoleum. What resources would exist in this place? Do you think people would dig mine in very cold place like this?"
...somehow when she said that, she shuddered. "...Sorry, I'm suddenly reminded when I almost died thanks to a huge, Black Groundramon. Well, there was an abandoned black digizoid mine over here, but it was really dangerous. I nearly died, and I really don't want to go there again. I think that Black Groundramon ate the entire thing. Anyway, as I was saying, try other approach"
Koharu raised a finger. "Technically, if I approach this Inn business from profit orientation, I'd say.. 'As long as there is demand, money is not an issue'. Demand for shelter in this place probably quite high. Add great service and it's great to go. On the other hand, monopoly of something can turn into oversaturation very quickly," Koharu pointed out. "...Let's say if my inn turned to be success, many other people would probably try to do the same, and suddenly there are four inns in the village. At that point, it'll become an unhealthy competition of whichever can top another. Even after those inns gone out of business, sometimes people don't learn and there would be more competition again. Rinse and repeat."
She stretched her body. "Well, tell me what you think about it?"

"Oh?" Luke slowed down a little as Koharu said he was skipping too far ahead, that it was still too vague a reason for people to come here. She said that nice ice elemental digimon lived here. "Yeah, that's what I meant, reasons why digimon want to live here" the Elecmon explained. He looked at the map, his blue eyes taking in the surrounding local features. He then saw there was a mine not too far away. Bellamy and Colin walked up to his side and looked too, just because they were curious.
"Hmm. The Frozen Mausoleum huh? Sounds like an adventuring destination" Luke said. "See? We're making progress. If you want to make an inn here in the first place, gotta think of advertising material" he moved his paw through the air as though reading invisible writing. "Brave Adventurers, stop at Koharu's Inn for a meal and rest before braving the Burial Ground".
"Capital." said Bellamy, blandly. Luke ignored him.
"As for what resource? Well... digizoid ore is pretty valuable. Same with gemstones and gold" Luke said. "Common metal like Iron and Copper might not be valuable enough to go through the effort of digging up in a place like this, but it's possible". He grinned. "Who knows? There might be some rare metal there too like Bismuth or Tantalum"
"Speakin' in tongues here, bunny-boy" said Bellamy.
He listened as Koharu explained that there was indeed a mine around here, but it had been guarded by a BlackGroundramon. He nodded. "There you have it. Black Digizoid. Huge value right there".
They listened with sympathy as Koharu said that they were attacked by one, and that the Groundramon probably ate all the digizoid. "Sorry to hear you went through that" Luke said.
"You two can evolve to Mega can't you?" Bellamy asked Kon-chan and Warg. "BlackGroundramon's a Perfect level. You guys could take him down right?"
"What if he evolved to Mega too?" Colin asked, curious.
"Oh yeah..." Bellamy said, his idea busted for now. "Wait, we're members of PROFIT aren't we? Can't we get Kyo and Ryu up here? Then we can bust up that bastard and get the ore back!"
While they waited on Koharu's opinion on this, they listened to her business idea. "Well of course, once the town grows, there's going to be more inns" Luke said. "And if there's too many, the worse ones will shut down. That's the sign of a healthy civilization!" he grinned. "Much better than the ghost town it is currently" he excitedly looked around, suddenly eager to see this place active again like it had been when he and Bellamy last came here.
"Maybe we could even hire out these igloos, eh?" Bellamy asked. The Impmon was still quite chilly. He hoped one of the individuals in this place would be happy to warm him up a little.

"I don't want to encourage that sort of thing," Koharu answered, looking very uninterested (or actually rather miffed) with that proposal. "I'm against graverobbing, especially when it comes to something that doesn't seem like an ancient ruin without guardian. I'm in opinion of whatever resting there should rest. If it's for study then it's best to make replicas instead of getting something to museum and such. Granted, it might be impossible, but c'mon, it's resting place. It's not something that you have to raid unless you're damn greedy. As much as I'm concerned, encouraging that sort of behavior only would tarnish my reputation in the eyes of the locale. And there's moral clash too. If people want to hunt for those sort of thing, fine by me, but I don't want to encourage them, you catch my drift? There are also gravekeepers there. Imagine what sort of clash I'll get if I'm encouraging behavior like that."
Well, luckily the second proposal is better, however...
"The second idea is much better if you ask me. If that comes to it, technically I myself can do it alone now... Also, that Digimon was as huge as its evolution, Breakdramon. I need you two to know something though... If we really would send super ultimate down there... you think the mine would stay in one piece? If we want to lure it out, it's actually weak against sunlight, so... pulling it out would probably be best at night... Oh and it apparently got broods... lot of Black Dracomon... It was nightmare. If there is any mate down there, then we're practically facing against two digimons on unknown power level..."
...Koharu thought it for a bit more.
"...You're right, actually, I'll probably use this chance to commission people for extermination. Even if the thing is dried up... no, actually, if the resource really dried up, then it'll be a problem. The Digimons are feral so they... they might go out and kill"
Probably for once acted like a leader she never once before, Koharu whipped out an official PROFIT document and start writing on it. Her finger moved quickly, and before long, she stamped it with an official seal and added her signature.
"...I'll keep this for a while, at least until people are ready. Anyway, I need Yuu to get this ready too."
Meanwhile, looking at Bellamy shivering, suddenly Warg breathes a small flame as sign of tease. "Well, looks like my time has came~ Come here, Bellamy, let me warm you up with Warg special service of hotness."
"Get a fucking private room," Kon-chan retorted.

It seemed Luke's suggestion was something that Koharu didn't agree with. Bellamy listened, then blinked. "Hey wait, since when did digimon have graves anyway?" he asked, folding his arms. "Digimon don't get buried when they die, why is there a freakin' graveyard anyway?"
"It could be a memorial site to dead digimon?" Colin suggested. This made both Bellamy and Luke cringe a little.
"Ohh... yeah, sorry, I didn't know that" Luke apologized, realizing he probably came across as very disrespectful.
"Ah let's just figure it out later, it's not really fun sittin' here shootin' down each other's ideas" Bellamy said. But they still listened as Koharu was more clear on the matter of BlackGroundramon. If Super Mega levels fought down there, it could kind of destroy the mine.
"Luring it out sounds like a good plan" Colin said. "And... wait, a brood? Digimon breed?" he was slightly confused about this, looking at his partners for clarification.
"Well, some can" Luke said, as Koharu wrote down an official commission on the matter. "Sharing data to create new digimon... I don't know how it works though"
"Neither do I" Bellamy said, but he appreciated Warg offering to cuddle. The Impmon rested in the BlackGuilmon's lap, appreciating the warmth. "Buut... I'm willing to try it with a cute partner" he said to nobody in particular, unable to wink at the digimon behind him.
"Seriously, please get a room?" Colin asked, not really wanting to see Bellamy make discoveries like that in the igloo with them.
"Heh heh, I'm just jokin' around" Bellamy chuckled. But he was glad that Warg was so willing to be affectionate with him. The Impmon was really thrilled at having so much friends that were this nice to him.

"See, now you know. Also, think of it like a bank too. If Digimon reborn, what the chance that if they take back their artifact they can gain their former power? Wouldn't that be desirable? What if it's legacy for next generation that approved by them? It's technically their will. Unless you gain some recognition from the gravekeeper that it's OK to take something, then it's just stealing, or worse, graverobbery."
Well about breeding, Koharu was unsure, but... "...Apparently data can form into Digitama if they're condensed while at it. I'm not quite sure... But there was really lot of them back then. Ask Kon-chan."
"...It's like shooting at oversized ants," Kon-chan muttered.
Of course Bellamy's flirt induces a draconic purr from the Digimon behind him. "I got a lot of data, baby, we can make cute little eg---"
"OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS, BUT IF YOU ARE, GET SOME FRICKING ROOM BEFORE I SHOVE ANOTHER KIND OF DATA," she pointed at her grenade "ON YOUR ASS."
"I'm just joking, geez~ Calm down~"

Luke and Bellamy nodded with understanding. "Okay. We won't be graverobbers, and we won't encourage it" the Elecmon decided, firmly.
It seemed that there was some kind of ability for digimon to breed. Colin wasn't really sure how though. Digimon didn't seem to have the same organs that animals did on Earth, so reproduction surely wasn't a thing.
Bellamy meanwhile snickered as Warg seemed to be enthusiastic as well, but the Impmon could tell he was only joking. "Heh heh, lighten up Konnie, it's just a bit of fun" he said, trying out a playful nickname for the Commandramon. He leaned back on Warg's chest, content with just a bit of a cuddle for now, and no attempts at bonding data.
Luke meanwhile gave a yawn, then looked at the igloo entrance. "Hmm. Do you think Albon's going okay?" he asked, concerned. If he was, then they'd surely be able to get some rest, but he didn't really want to leave the other boy and his twin in-training digimon to freeze. He hoped they'd be alright.

"Good," Koharu nodded. "Now remember, I might be probably contradicting myself, but we're now member of organization. Encouraging that sort of behavior only would tarnish our name. Just... well, remember, when acting solo, please do not use our organization name... and as best as you could, please treat everyone kindly. I don't say professionally, but conduct yourself like a helpful member of the society."
Then again, she's blabbing. Her serious expression melts into more goofy one. "But among your friends, make sure to have fun and relax! Well, if I find anything lacking, I can send you to Kon-chan's boot camp," she joked.
"Oh SUUUUREEE, will rip the newbies a new one," Kon-chan retorted, rolling her eyes. However from her tone, one can sense that she's joking. "Well fun is fun, until you pop someone's eyes looking at saucy thing. Evenmoreso when it's a thirteen years old."
"I just hope that Colin isn't 100% innocent, because I'm pretty sure his parents won't be fine with this~" Koharu joked.
"Pshaw, 11 years old, 13 years old, little difference. Before you knew it they already matured too much for you," Warg said, to which Koharu just... well, tries to play cool. For once, the girl looks rather flustered. "I'll pretend to not hear that, Warg."
"Just kidding, just kidding."
Hearing about Alban just made Koharu shook her head. "...Let's just wish for the best. Try checking your Digivice if he's around... if he's not, then let's hope for the best that he returned. Afterall, there's no way one can be so clueless about direction to the station. Look, I want to help him, but if he's too soft about all of this, and demanded for apology all the time, this is going to be bad for his growth... Gosh, can't believe I said that about boy older than me... Anyway, if he's stuck in one place for more than long enough, we can go immediately to rescue him. Warg and Kon-chan are fast anyway."

"Yes, of course" Luke said, nodding at Koharu's statement that they needed to behave professionally when representing PROFIT. That would mean they would have to be lawful at all times and not let their ignorance or funny ideas get the better of them. Colin understood this too. He would hopefully try to keep his digimon on the straight and narrow.
And if they were acting solo, they should not brag about being a part of PROFIT. Colin could see this as a problem in the long run if they ended up being famous as members of PROFIT, but for this point in time, they would do so. He shuddered at the thought of Kon-Chan's boot camp, given the dressing down she gave Alban.
Colin smiled and shrugged. "Eh, it's okay. I doubt there's much the digimon can do that would really disgust me" he said, jokingly. "Bellamy and Luke don't wear pants and there doesn't seem to be much more to them in that department"
"Hmph, I'll show you-" Bellamy began, but decided not to push it. Yeah, there was nothing he had to hide down there. Warg was so warm that he was beginning to get sleepy, especially after helping to construct the igloo.
Colin listened to Koharu explain about Alban. He took out his digivice and looked at it. It seemed that Alban wasn't around. Okay, so he had probably gone back to the Trailmon station. Hopefully one would come along and pick him up to take him back home.
"Not much we can do until tomorrow, right?" Colin asked those in the Igloo. Luke was resting on his lap, appreciating Colin gently petting him. Colin himself yawned, and began to drift off to sleep.
"Hopefully we'll get this inn built soon, Koharu" he said, and at last, succumbed to rest. Bellamy and Luke soon followed suit.
