Mon of the House ~ Eva (Finished)

Post by Eva on Mar 19, 2017 2:54:02 GMT
The cyborg just shook her head at Wormmon's latest stupid comment, switching her attention back to the screen and knocking back the last of her beer, reaching for another one. The evening was still young after all. Plenty more drinking to be had. Alcohol doesn't answer the question, but, it does make you forget what it was in the first place and with Wormmon's comments and apparently denseness, it had brought back plenty of "questions" that could do with being forgotten for the Renamon. Nonetheless, with just one beer down Eva was still very much still sober. Takes a lot more than one bottle to get such a relatively heavy drinker tipsy, even if most of her bodymass was cybernetic rather than the digital approximation of organic life. She concentrated, looking at the screen and setting up to block as the boss' wind attack came in. Eva was focusing on taking the boss on directly, leaving the others to try and deal with the mooks. Despite the well timed block, the barbarian was still pushed away, remaining perfectly balanced on his feet and kicking up dust. However, the game itself seemingly had other ideas, nearly causing Eva to spit out her drink. The physics engine bugged out, sending the barbarian to polygonal ragdoll spasm glitch hell, before pinging the character around the map like a pinball, limbs stretching in weird and unnatural ways as it flailed wildly. "Little busy tanking here, get someone else to kite the-. Whaaaaat the f*ck. What is this!? Guys! I think I've broken the laws of physics! It's the Kraken!"

The fierce boss battle gets kicked up another notch. Dante and Wormmon are both so focused on winning, they let it consume them. Digimon battles, college classes, bills to pay, everything else in life was put on pause, and they are honed in on conquering this goblin boss. Suddenly Eva's barbarian begins spazzing out, flailing all over the place with elongated limbs flailing in all directions. "Holy cannoli Eva! How you do that?" "It must be a bug in the game. Great, here we are in the heat of battle, and the game screws us!"
With Eva stuck in virtual hell, it was down to Dante's rogue and little Wormy's big bosomed black mage to handle the boss. More goblins start emerging from underneath rocks and sliding down the side of the cliff. Dante backs up slowly in a defensive stance as the mobs approach him. "This doesn't look too good. Bah! I should have done better than this." "We aren't even at the really hard bosses yet. We shouldn't be getting our socks cleaned." "Socks?" "I think he means your clocks cleaned."
Wormmon conjures up a powerful spell, firing a large magical blast directly at the goblin king. He nonchalantly blocks with his hammer, taking only a tiny bit of damage. "What the flying Numemon you guys?! That was one of my strongest attacks, and it barely did any damage! Hax!" The goblins close in on Dante. He fights them off for a while, but the numbers game overwhelms him. One of the goblins swings his club at Dante, sending him back and tripping over a goblin crouching behind him. Dante falls to the ground, and the goblins start beating his rogue with their clubs, reducing his health to zero. "That's ridiculous! I couldn't get back up."
In desperation, Wormmon starts running away, trying to use as many healing items and boosts that they had saved up as they can. The goblin king goes after Wormmon, and with one swing of the hammer smacks Wormmon and sends the black mage flying off the cliff. The remaining goblins go after Eva's barbarian, but they are still glitching all over the map, and the goblins can't catch up. The goblin king starts stomping on the ground, dealing aoe damage. Eventually, Eva is hit by the attack enough times, and the gang loses to the goblin king. The words "Game Over" flash on the screen in bold red letters. Dante sighs and hangs his head in shame, then starts chugging his beer in frustration. Judith resists teasing Dante for losing, but can't help but crack a small grin. Wormmon throws his controller at the TV and rips the console's power cord out.
"RAAAAAAGE QUIT!!!"
... ...
"Well, what do you want to do now?"

Despite the wacky wave inflatable arm flailing tube barbarian smacking around all the other mobs on screen and also turning them into ragdoll physics nightmares it seemed that the game was pretty much over what with the tank not being able to get any sort of controlled movement. Despite this though, Eva couldn't help but chuckle at the sheer amount of ridiculousness going on. This Conan The Barbarian guy was just pinging off everything including invisible walls at the game's boundaries.
Eva had just put her controller down at this point, and was sitting back to watch the chaos unfold. She couldn't get any real influence on direction anyway. She was halfway down her second beer by now. "He might have meant socks. This big meaty bastard's spinning around like a damn washing machine right now. Even the massive game over screen couldn't stop the crazy, even as the screen faded the barbarian was flailing around until he launched up into the air. It was starting to kill the framerate at this point as the character started glitching out IN FRONT of the "Game Over" lettering nearly making Eva spit out her beer. Bethesda had nothing on this level of glitch hell!
Unfortunately, Wormmon had to go ahead and be a killjoy, pulling the power cord. "Well, that was different." She said, before downing the last of her second beer, grabbing another one with no signs of slowing down. Eva could put a lot away especially considering that she was relatively small, being a Renamon and that. Not to mention that a lot of her "organic" mass was cybernetics and not exactly connected to whatever equivilant digimon had to a circulatory system.
"Well. I got no ideas. Any of you got any?"

Now that Wormmon has rage quit after hours of grinding, the gang needed something else to do. Dante takes out his phone and checks the time. "Well, it's starting to get late. Can't really go anywhere, unless you guys wanna hit the karaoke bar or something." "Nah, it's still pouring down rain. Let's hang out here, and I'll start cooking dinner." Judith gets up from the couch and goes to the kitchen. Wormmon rubs his little belly. "Well I am hungry. Come on Eva, I'll show you some of our other video games."
Dante gets up and goes upstairs to grab his jacket. He goes outside to smoke, hugging the wall to stay out of the rain. Wormmon starts going through a stack of video games. "Let's see, we've got Face Shooter 500,000, Assassin's Code, Big Top Basketball, oh how about Senpai Smackdown? It's a game where you go around school, taking classes and killing students." Judith overhears from the kitchen. "That's so creepy." "No, you have to. Cuz this girl is after your senpai, and you have to figure out which girl she is. Plus you get to run around as a schoolgirl with a katana. The tricky part is mopping up all the blood."
Eventually, Dante comes back in, hacking and coughing. He takes his jacket back upstairs, and goes to the kitchen to grab some cherry soda. "Hey, I think there's a baseball game on. Let's see how the Shibuya Devils are doing." Dante turns on the game. The Devils are losing 6 to 0. "What?! They can't even get one lousy run? Argh, humans..." "They could use some Digimon on their team. I could get more hits than these overpaid bozos." A commercial comes on advertising a new night club. "Hey, that place looks fun. Oh and they are opening tomorrow. Can we go?" "Ya, that sounds fun. We can check it out tomorrow."
Judith finishes up dinner. Fried fish soaked in butter with rice and beans. Everyone goes to the dinning table to chow down. "Mmm, this is so good. I didn't know you could kick this well, Judith." "That's because you're always preoccupied with Digimon battles and half naked anime girls. Our guest Eva deserves a wonderful meal. After all, she has to put up with you two, ah ha ha haha!" The gang enjoys a great dinner and have a nice evening, playing video games and talking about past battles. Little do they know, they are being watched. A shady figure lurks outside the window, two dark yellow eyes watching their every move. (Quietly) "Ha ha ha, that's right. Enjoy yourselves. I've got some big surprises for you tomorrow."

"Karaoke bar? You guys seriously want to hear me of all people singing?" To be fair, Eva hadn't really tried that before, but, she couldn't see how that could possibly go well. Plus, Judith was right. It was still absolutely pouring down. If they tried to go there now they were just going to get soaked again on the way there. Although, hey, the offer of dinner was certainly a good thing. "I can cook if you want, but, if you're going to do it, thanks. Really appreciate it." Hooray for politeness.
She listened to Wormmon rattle through his collection of games. Face shooter was a solid choice even if it had gone downhill as of late what with its yearly sequels, Assassin's Code was also decent but then again, the latest one was full of glitches and French people. Nothing seemed to weird up until he mentioned a title called Senpai Smackdown and started to explain it. "So what? You're pretty much playing as a school mass murderer? That's pretty messed up. And what? All to get the attention of some guy? Pretty sure that's the wrong way of going about it. What does she do? On valentines day does she give him a real human heart instead of a cartoon one on a card? She switched to an impression of an anime schoolgirl. Probably a fairly bad one to be fair what with her accent and deeper voice but hopefully got the point across. "I...I got you a heart... Not that I like you or anything!" She shook her head, clearing her throat and changing back to her normal tone. "Bloody hell. Literally."
She then joined Dante outside, lighting up a cigarette and taking a big drag. Her lighter had gotten soaked and wasn't sparking up but fortunately her cancer sticks had dried out by now. With the lighter though, she had an alternative, unfolding her laser system and sending a low intensity pulse at the end of the cigarette, enough to spark it up. "Y'know... I think I'm probably the only digimon that smokes these things. Weird thing to be thinking about, but, hey."
After she had topped up on her nicotine addiction, she headed back inside joining in with Dante to watch the baseball game. She had no idea who either of the teams were, but, seemed Dante did judging by his reaction. "Lousy humans? Just gonna badmouth your own species like that because they lost a baseball game against, well, another load of humans? Not like they lost against another species." She nodded at Wormmon's deduction about digimon likely being better at baseball than these guys, though, she wasn't exactly sure about Wormmon being able to best them. "Well, these guys are professionals. They train for years to do this, also, you? Better than them? You're literally a worm. How would you even hold the bat?
Soon the topic turned to the nightclub that was advertised next on the TV after the game. Nightclubs weren't really Eva's scene. They were too loud, too crowded, she would have much preferred going to some more quiet bar but she wasn't going to be a wet rag about it. If these people wanted to go, she would go with. "Sure, sounds good. Bet it's gonna be packed though, opening night and all."
The rest of the evening passed without that much interesting happening apart from the fantastic meal cooked up by Judith and the conversation about past battles and... half naked Japanese cartoon women. Eva nonetheless couldn't help but feel like they were being watched, her sharp hearing and senses locating movement beyond the window. Probably nothing, just a passerby or some drunk. Nothing to worry about.

Eva singing? Who wouldn't want to see a British cyborg fox Digimon sing? Although it's not like a Digimon could get up on stage unless they were cloaked in a holosuit. "Ya, you could dress up like a Spice Girl and sing in autotune! Oh my Goddess that's so cool!" Although if Wormmon thought it was a good idea, it probably wasn't. As Wormmon goes through Dante's games, he starts to realize just how lousy new games and never ending franchises are. (Thinking) "Could Dante be right about older games being fun? No, the graphics are terrible. New games have more content, even if it is mostly grinding. More is always better. Dante's a fool." And then there was Senpai Smackdown. A game that really shouldn't exist. If parents thought video games were already too violent, what would they think if they knew about this?
While Dante and Eva are out smoking in the rain, Eva's lighter isn't sparking, so she lights her cigarette with a low powered laser. "Wow that is so cool! I'm jealous." Eva mentions how rare a smoking Digimon is. "I haven't seen another Digimon smoke cigarettes. But then again Terriermon smokes cigars. I don't think I'll ever really understand Digimon. Heck, I don't even understand people." Eva and Dante finish smoking, then head back inside and check out the baseball game. Dante's bummed out that his team is losing, but Eva reminds him it's a game. Then they start talking about Digimon playing baseball.
Wormmon gets upset Eva doesn't have faith in his baseball skills. He puts his front legs on his hips and gives Eva a determined look. "I am totally good at Baseball. I could make a giant web to catch the ball. I can crawl really fast and steal bases. And if I digivolve to Stingmon, then I would be hitting dingers, flying around, and throwing chin music." "There's only one way to settle this. Tomorrow we're going to the baseball field." "Ooh, goodie!"
After a fantastic meal, the gang finishes up the night with some more beer and video games. Eventually everyone falls asleep at different times. Dante wakes up in his bed. (Thinking) "Ooooww my heeeaad... I shouldn't have drank so much. That's strange, I don't even remember going to bed." Dante throws on sweat pants, socks, and a red tank top. He walks over and peeks out the blinds. The sunshine pierces in. "Yes, no more rain! Let's hope it stays like this." Dante stumbles downstairs and goes to the kitchen to grab some orange juice. He notices the coffee pot is empty. Dante looks in the living room and sees Judith passed out on the couch.
(Thinking) "Ah, nothing like a sunny morning. But I need coffee. I wonder where Eva and Wormmon are." Dante walks around the house gulping down orange juice. He walks by his sister's room and hears snoring. (Thinking) "Wait, Judith is downstairs. I can't go into my sister's room and check. She would never cook me a meal again. Ah whatever, I'll just take a peek inside." Dante turns the handle and slowly opens the door. He doesn't see anyone on the bed, but he still hears snoring. Dante looks around and detects that it is coming from Judith's dresser. Dante opens the top drawer and sees Wormmon curled up in a ball.
The snoring stops, and Wormmon wakes up. "Oh, morning Dante." "What are you doing sleeping in Judith's underwear drawer?" "Underwear wha?" Wormmon looks around and sees a bunch of panties all over. "I don't know, Dante. Honest." "Judith is going to freak out if she finds out that you went in here." "No, she's going to freak out even more at you, Dante. Face it, yes I shouldn't have come in here, but if she finds out that you saw her underwear, she will probably chase you out of the house with a coffee pot." "But you're the one that crawled in here. I didn't do anything wrong you little jerk." "Doesn't matter, she will still freak out. Now you don't tell her I fell asleep in here, and I won't tell her what you saw." "Why you... fine just get outta there."
Dante picks up Wormmon and takes a pair of black panties off of Wormmon's antenna. He closes the drawer and takes Wormmon downstairs. "Ooh ooh, take me to the kitchen! I want some chocolate." "Chocolate this early? Whatever. We will get some chocolate after we find Eva. Do you remember what we were doing last night?" "Nope. The last thing I remember was defeating that stupid ogre boss." "Uhh we didn't... wait did we? I remember eating fish." Dante and Wormmon try to recall what they were doing the night before.
...Meanwhile, at the ice cream factory/evil layer...
A young man wearing a white suit, with long black hair and silver frame glasses sits at a monitor. He picks up a glass of wine and takes a sip. While some machines are mixing the ice cream, others are highly advanced computer equipment. A stream of binary reflects off his glasses. "Hmm..." Suddenly a cloud of purple fog appears behind him. A portal opens up and Wizardmon steps out. The wizard stamps his staff on the floor twice and bows to the man. "Greetings, pale one." He spins around in his chair slowly and faces Wizardmon. "To what do I owe the pleasure, Wizardmon?" "My master wanted me to let you know what Dante has been up to."
The man rubs the tip of his fingernails across his thumb, scratching off flakes of old sores from too much typing. "What makes Piedmon believe that I am interested in Dante's whereabouts? I have been far too busy with my research." "Because he thought you could use a friend. Dante's the only friend you've ever had." "Yes well, Dante and I haven't been on friendly terms as of late. We share different ideals." "If the enemy of your enemy is your friend, then what is your friend's enemy? What of an enemy's friend? What my master wants to know is, why can't we be friends, Shirou?"
Shirou takes a sip of wine, and wipes his lips with a white handkerchief. "I don't want to be friends with a clown with strange obsessions. If you don't have anything to say but whimsy nonsense, kindly leave my ice cream factory, sir." Wizardmon glares at Shirou, his eyes just barely sticking up above his collar, and under his floppy hat. "As you please. The Palladino household seems to have taken a new resident. A cybernetic fox Digimon unlike anything else in your world or wine. Her technology might prove useful to your research." "A cyborg fox, rubbish. What corporation could have possibly come out with this unique model?" Wizardmon grins underneath his collar. "Have you heard of NanoWerx Industries?" Shirou's expression changes from disgust to sinisterly pleased "Okay, wizard. You have my attention." "That is all. Do with this information as you will. Ta-ta for now, Shirou. And please, take a shower every once in a while." Wizardmon disappears in a cloud of purple smoke.

The group must be getting pretty familiar with Eva's "seriously?" look by now, because yet another one was shot at Wormmon when he mentioned dressing like a damn Spice Girl and using autotune. At least he didn't suggest trying to sing J-pop, because that was about the only way she could have looked more ridiculous than the Spice Girls suggestion. "No. Just no."
The rest of the evening seemed to go past without anything too major happening, just a few conversations, and something about baseball. Eva was about to be a downer about it, but, suddenly it was like a lightbulb lit up. Ohoho, grenade trajectory calculations, targetting systems? Would surely work just as well with a thrown ball or trying to hit a moving object. Was it cheating to use NanoWerx Industries military grade technology in a game of baseball? Probably. Did Eva care? Nope. The only real problem was detection. Sure, Eva could use some of her enhanced capabilities with the holosuit active, but, could Wormmon? "Not sure how you're going to be shooting webs around with a holosuit active. If you go without one, you're going to draw far too much attention to yourself."
As the evening drew to a close, Eva picked out a spot to sleep in, curling up on a sofa. She almost looked cute like that in contrast to how, well, "tough" she normally seemed, twitching and making soft little noises while she was fast asleep, but, for Eva? It wasn't so peaceful, her slumber plagued by nightmares once again.

Yes, the gang's morning was off to a slow start. No doubt to all the alcohol consumed the night before. Dante sets Wormmon down on the coffee table and goes to the kitchen to make some toast. Wormmon hops over to the couch and starts jumping up and down, hooting and hollering to wake up Eva and Judith. "Come on, wake up wake up!" Judith rolls over and opens her eyes, giving Wormmon the stink eye. "You obnoxious little..." "Uh oh. How about some coffee, Judith?"
"Yes, some coffee sounds good. But first I'm going to drop kick you off the roof for waking me up!" Judith goes to grab Wormmon, but Wormy quickly jumps off the couch and crawls up the wall. Judith gets up and looks around the living room. She grabs a broom and starts whacking Wormmon on the head. "Ow ow ow! What's up with you girls being so tired? Come on, let's go play some baseball with Eva!" After a while, Judith looses interest in smacking Wormmon around. "Alright. I'm going to go take a shower." Judith leans the broom down against the coffee table and goes upstairs.
Dante puts some bread in the toaster, and gets the butter out of the fridge. Suddenly his cell phone starts to vibrate. He takes it out of his pocket. "Shirou's calling me? That's odd." Dante answers the phone. "Yello?" "Hey there, buddy. It's been a while, how have you been?" "Shirou, long time, no see. You haven't been up to your usual tricks lately." "I prefer to think of them as plans." "So what's going on? You wouldn't call me out of the blue for no reason, *yawn*, especially this early in the morning." "Well, you know... It gets boring sitting at a computer for days on end. What's the point of making millions selling ice cream if I can't enjoy myself once in a while? Do you have any plans for today?" "Actually, we were talking about playing some baseball. You want to come over?" "That sounds exciting. I can pick you guys up in an hour." "Alright, great. We'll see you soon, man." "Indeed. Don't forget your gloves."
Dante hangs up the phone. He realizes that they only have one mitt, an old bat, and no ball. (Thinking) "I better text Shirou and let him know that we need to stop at the sporting goods store." The toast pops out of the toaster. Dante continues preparing the toast, while Wormmon is channel surfing in the living room. "No, no, boring, rerun, overrated, fake news, commercial for, uh, what is that? Why are those girls playing tennis? And now they are riding bikes. Maybe it's like some sort of energy boost. That would be perfect for baseball. Dante! Can you buy me some of these pads?"

"Ow ow ow! What's up with you girls being so tired? Come on, let's go play some baseball with Eva!"
Suddenly, a rather well aimed pillow flew across the room aimed directly at Wormmon's face! Eva didn't say anything, hoping that action spoke louder than words as she stretched and yawned. In fact, the groggy digimon didn't say much at all and in fact was almost zombie-like until she managed to get some coffee. However, the power of caffeine seemingly soon brought her around. She didn't really seem to have a hangover though, despite probably drinking more than most.
Eva's morning routine included a good workout it seemed, as while she was waiting for Judith to be finished in the shower she did some exercises, mostly working on her core muscles because well, her cybernetic limbs were already as toned as they'd ever be and doing exercises on them would just cause additional and pointless wear and tear.
After that, she went and took a shower. If this was a movie or TV show, there might be a slightly saucy shower scene here but this is a tasteful RP site, so, no such things here. Eva looked up at the mirror as she towelled off her hair, sighing as the reflection of herself covered in cybernetics stared right back at her.
The advert had just finished playing when Eva came back into the room, biting back her feelings and rolling her shoulders. "Alright then. What's the plan for today?"

The gang has a big day planned ahead. Eva has only spent one night in the Palladino house, and Wormmon is already driving everyone crazy. Well, erm, crazier than usual. As Eva begins to wake up, her targeting systems activate, and she lands a deadeye hit with a pillow at the worm. "OwWWowoah! Why is everybody picking on me today?! That's wormist." Everyone begins to go about their morning routines. After Judith and Eva take their showers, luckily there's still enough hot water left for Dante too.
Right on time, Shirou's limousine pulls into the driveway. "Alright, time to leave." Dante goes to the kitchen to grab a soda out of the fridge. Wormmon is still watching TV. Dante walks into the living room, and accidentally trips on the broom. "Argh! Since when do we have a broom? Come on, Wormmon, let's go." "Kay. TV's boring anyways." Wormmon activates his holosuit, taking the appearance of a young woman with long green hair. Everyone heads outside to the limousine.
Shirou is sitting inside, pouring a glass of wine. (We all knew that was coming.) "Greetings, everyone." "Hey Shirou. Man, today's gonna be fun." Everyone gets in and the limousine takes off. "So, where to first?" "Why don't we get something to eat first, then hit up the sports shop for some new mitts?" "Ya, and we can even buy some sportswear." Shirou starts pouring wine for everyone. "Isn't it a little early to be drinking? We are going to play baseball, after all." "Well, just a little isn't going to hurt. So, who is your new friend?" Shirou looks over at the red head. "That's Eva. She's gonna stay with us for a while."
"Unlike Dante, Eva's actually looking for work." "Hey, I'm busy with college and Digimon stuff. Maybe Shirou could give her a job at the ice cream factory?" "Are you crazy, Dante? Then she would have to commute to the Digital World every day." Judith goes back and forth between drinking coffee and drinking wine. (Thinking) "Jeez, slow down there, sis." "Why don't we stop for some sushi?" "Ya, sushi sounds great." The gang stops for sushi, then heads to the sporting goods store.
Everyone picks out a new outfit and whatever gear they need. They all stick with their preferred color schemes. Dante with red and black, Shirou with blue and white, Wormmon with green and Judith with yellow. Clothes that are perfect for running and sliding. While Dante is picking out a bat, he hears a familiar voice. "Those pants make you look so fat. You're offending my eyes." "Shut up before I put your head through a wall!" (Thinking) "Oh no, it couldn't be them..." Dante holds the bat behind his back and slowly walks over to the people he heard.
To Dante's chagrin, four well groomed poster boys are also buying sportswear today. They are the Handsome Boys, four self absorbed dreamboats with a heard mentality. There's Kano, the blonde swimmer with the washboard stomach. Babi, the bad boy with a bad temper. Leo, the soft spoken nice guy. And their leader, tall, long black hair, gorgeous face, dripping in cool, the alpha boy, Red Flunow. Dante can't believe it. The Handsome Boys have always caused him trouble whenever they are around. Wormmon comes walking over to Dante and sees the boy toys. "Ahh! What are you tools doing here?" "Eh? Well, look who it is, boys. Judith's sister and his creepy Digimon partner." "I'm her brother, dirtbag."

Eva looked around and activated her holosuit. Luckily, it seemed to be working just fine after it had time to dry off, her chosen human image coming in strong and seamlessly adapting to her form to appear completely natural as she pressed the small button on the small metal device. "Alright. Holosuit's holdin' steady. Good to go." She quickly adjusted her hair in the mirror, tying it back into a ponytail before looking out of the window. Was that a limo? "Whoa. That's our ride? If I didn't know any better I'd say you were trying to impress me Dante"
She went with the group outside to the limo, looking around. Certainly did seem fancy. She didn't recognise the person already seated in the vehicle though. While he didn't really seem to be any real threat but, she was still mildly suspicious. Something was off here. Nonetheless, she was polite in her responses and smalltalk, making sure not to let her feelings show through.
She also heard the voices of the douchebag quartet, approaching and standing alongside Dante as he started to talk to them. "I think I got everything I need. We about done he- oh great. These pricks." Eva was unsure if the pricks in question would remember her, but, she certainly remembered them from their brief encounter last time. At least they had the one guy with them that wasn't a total tool though. That was at least something.

The gang rolls around the town in Shirou's limo. Eva was quite stricken by how luxurious it is, but the others had gotten used to Shirou's extravagance. It didn't help matters that Dante and Judith were born into money, the son and daughter of a professional fighter and a French Pop icon. They were spoiled growing up and became rather snobbish. That's why they don't have to worry about expenses, enough funds are set aside as long as they are both pursuing education or a career path. Judith following in her mother's footsteps as a vocalist, and Dante, well, occasionally going to class... sometimes...
The Handsome Boys give Dante arrogant glances and mocking laughter. "So, what made you crawl out from that rock you've been living under?" "It's like his skin hasn't seen sunlight since 2013." "Ya! And that's like ancient history now." "We know what else is ancient, his fashion sense." Dante takes the bat out and starts tapping his palm with the barrel. "You giblet heads better have a good reason why I shouldn't send you to the emergency room."
Red crosses his arms and chuckles at Dante. He glances over at Eva and pans up and down, taking in her figure. "Would you mind not violating my friend with your eyes?!" Leo looks at Eva and manages a nervous smile. He can't help but feel like he has met her before, but Eva wasn't wearing her holosuit last time. Shirou and Judith come walking over carrying bags of stuff. Judith sees Kano and drops her bags. "Kano! What are you doing here, baby?" Judith runs up and jumps into Kano's arms. Dante leans forward and holds his gut, as another piece of his soul dies.
The Handsome Boys are not happy to see Shirou. Red approaches the pale skinned dweeb and tries to intimidate him. Shirou sets his bags down and yawns. "Well well well, Shirou. I do believe we still owe you payback." "Ya! After you lost that basketball game, you sent us into the desert to dig holes for what felt like an eternity!" Shirou takes off his glasses and wipes off the lenses with a handkerchief. "What is that disgusting scent? You're hair product, you're body spray? It's fogging up my glasses. Gentlemen... There's no need to go digging into the past. If it's payback you're after, why don't we play another game?" "Oh no, not another one of your weird computer simulations." "What's the matter, big shot?! Are you afraid of the Worm King and her giant breasts dropping a train on you again?!"
Wormmon grabs his holosuit bosoms and starts bouncing them up and down. Everyone starts talking over each other, Red and Kano insulting Dante and Shirou, and them being bitter and sarcastic in return. Judith and Kano start making out, getting hot and heavy right there in the store. Dante has enough and puts his foot down. "Okay enough! Judith, you get back over here before you're already out of those new pants before you've even bought 'em. Red, if you want to challenge us, let's take this to the baseball diamond." "No simulations, no dirty tricks, Shirou?" "Please. I don't need my superior intellect to dispose of a few simpletons."
Judith lets go of Kano and stands over by the others. The two sides stare each other down. Dante, Eva, Judith, Wormmon, and Shirou, against Red, Babi, Leo, and Kano. It doesn't take very long for everyone to realize that one side is a man short. "Hey, this isn't fair! We've only got four players." "Keep on crying. Your tears only bring me pleasure." "This isn't right. Give us time to find a 5th man. We'll see you losers at the Kazasaki Ballpark." The Handsome Boys strike a pose and freeze in place for a couple seconds, then turn and head to the exit. Leo stops and turns around to look at Eva, then turns away.
Wormmon starts rubbing his hands together and licking his lips. "Oh, I'm so excited, you guys! We're gonna shove those loser's heads up each other's butts!" "I don't know why you can't just get along. The Handsome Boys are so pretty. Especially that walking hunk of man meat Kano." "I guess you're fixated on man meat." "Would you keep your hormones in control for 5 minutes, sis?!" Judith rolls her eyes at her brother. Who is he to judge who she dates? It's not like Dante has an impressive track record of successful relationships. "You're just jealous of our love, because you're lonely and miserable and you never get to make out in public." "Right now I'm jealous of being an only child." After Dante and Judith finish bickering, everyone buys their new baseball gear, and they head towards the ballpark.

Well, this was just about as awkward as Eva expected it to be what with the "handsome" boys' rather terrible insults against Dante and Red eyebanging her. Even if Eva was a human these people would be -so- not her type. Not that Dante was doing much better on the insult front either though. "Giblet heads". Seriously? She just folded her arms. The digimon wasn't entirely sure whether this was just some stupid posturing or if these people were actually about to try and start a brawl in the middle of a shop, but, surely these people couldn't be that stupid, right?
Oop, nope, they looked like they might actually be wanting to try it, what with the person who was eyebanging her earlier squaring up to Dante. Eva unfolded her arms, assessing the situation. If a punchup was to break out here, the police would no doubt arrive in a matter of minutes and getting arrested even with a holosuit on is a great way of getting yourself discovered. Nonetheless, if it did happen, well... team Dante right now had two digimon on his side what with herself and Wormmon.
But, as with all arguments involving these people, this seemed to get very strange very quickly. Who know that holosuit programmers paid such close attention to jiggle physics? Well. Wormmon, apparently. Yet another image that she didn't need in her head right there. Wormmon seemed to be good at bringing up things that would require a liberal amount of mind bleach. Giant breasts flinging trains. Just. What.

After another unpleasant run in with the homely boys, it looks like the gang is going to have some posers to humiliate on the diamond. Dante is so worked up, but really neither side had the moral high ground on this one. Half of each team couldn't keep their hormones in check. This game would prove to be interesting, if nothing else. The gang arrives at Kazasaki Ballpark. They set up their gear in the nicer looking dugout, and start practicing out in the grass. Shirou's partner Keramon, who had been driving the limo from inside its computer mainframe, takes the form of a stereotypical husky umpire.
After a while, a tiny little smart car pulls in, and the Handsome Boys get out. With them is a freakishly large beast of a woman, with hips like an elephant. "What the heck is that thing?!" The Handsome Boys walk onto the field, smirking and acting self confident. The gang walks over to decide which team is up first. "Let me guess, that, thing... is your 5th?" "I wouldn't run your mouth, Dante. This is Olga Stephenson, 2 time Women's Softball World Series MVP." Olga looks at Dante and snarls. "You should keep that dog on a leash."
Shirou takes out a coin. "Alright Red, call it in the air." Shirou tosses the coin. "Tails." The coin lands heads down. "Tails it is." "We will take home field advantage. No cheating, no Digimon powers. You rejects are up first." "This reject is gonna sting your butthhole." "Ah, language!" The Handsome Boys take their positions out in the field. On the mound is Red, a perfect fit for his height, controlling attitude, and no chill factor. The humungous ringer Olga goes to first base, because she can't move very fast and just has to stand there basically. Kano plays catcher, giving him a chance to run his mouth. Babi plays shallow left field, using his speed to cover a big gap, and Leo gets stuck out somewhere in center right, because everyone knows you stick the scrawny kids in the outfield.
The gang huddles up in the dugout, planning their strategy. "Okay, we each only have five players, so that's going to create a lot of gaps in the field. Focus on making good contact." "Who's up first?" "Someone most likely to get on, then we can bring them home." "Ooh ooh, let me go up first!" "Why don't you watch a few at bats first? Besides, you might just be our cleanup hitter." "I don't remember making Dante our captain." "Well unless you know something about Baseball, I'm the one most educated on the sport. If anyone wants to be captain, go ahead."
"You think you're so good at baseball, just because you play baseball video games." "And I've also seen Moneyball eight times." "Baseball movies are fun. I like the one with the monkey. Ooh-ooh Ahh-AHH!" "I like the one about Jackie Robinson. The scenes with his wife are so romantic." Red shouts over from the mound. "Well, we're waiting!" Dante yells back. "That's from Caddyshack, not a baseball movie." "Would you stop talking about movies and play some ball?!" "Alright, Eva you're up first." Keramon chugs a beer and smashes the can on his forehead. "01010000 01101100 01100001 01111001 00100000 01000010 01100001 01101100 01101100. I mean... PLAY BALL!"

No digimon powers? Pah. Not like Eva was able to turn them off. Her cybernetic arms, legs, and vision were still working even under that holosuit to enhance her strength and vision, and what with them working well enough now to boost her up to an "ultimate" level equivilant? Well, her athletic capabilities were top knotch, even above the typically highly agile unaugmented Renamon at this point. That said, she hadn't played baseball before. But how hard can it be, right? Just whack the ball and run to the bases, right? Even if they did have what seemed to be a rugby player on their side. How did they enlist a professional athlete like that? Or at least, they -said- she was a professional athlete.
Eva did a quick warmup while the others were bickering. Sure, tearing muscles is less likely when they're synthetic, but, that's what you do before an athletic event, right?
"Alright, Eva you're up first."
Oop. Looked like they had finally stopped talking about movies and were ready to start. Eva stepped up to the batting position, giving the bat a little twirl to test the weight before taking up a batting stance, her HUD starting to overlay information onto her vision.
COMBAT SYSTEMS READY.
TARGETING SYSTEM ONLINE.
IMPROVISED MELEE WEAPON.
MASS CALCULATION: 1KG
WARNING: INCOMING PROJECTILE.
TRAJECTORY CALCULATION. [====X====]
Almost every instinct was telling her to dodge out of the way as though this was an incoming grenade what with how the HUD was lighting up and all, but, her more rational mind was able to recognise that this indeed was not some sort of thrown fragmentary device, and just a ball. There was a certain electric whirring sound of motors as she swung the bat through the air, her cybernetics kicking in giving a very powerful swing sending the ball rocketing nearly out of the park and far into the left centre field.
Eva wasted no time to watch this ball fly though, she had to make good time to the bases before she could be outed. Again, there was the subtle clicking and whirring of her cybernetics running at flat out giving her a pretty damn fast sprinting speed, stopping at third base before she could be counted out.
