OOC: This is a continuation of this thread.
It seemed that Jyarimon wanted to come home with them, jumping into Luke's arm. Well, that was a relief, it was much better than leaving the poor digimon out here to suffer through the frosty night by herself. And so Luke, Colin and Bellamy made their way home to Colin's apartment in Western Shibuya. Not far from the park, it was only a short walk. Luke smiled down at Jyarimon as he carried her. Certainly, he hoped that they could find her partner soon. But... if they didn't, Luke kind of liked the idea of taking care of her until she evolved. "Is there any kind of special food we should get for her first?" Colin asked, a little concerned. He didn't want to feed the baby digimon something that she couldn't digest.
"Eh, any food'll do. Baby digimon ain't fussy" Bellamy said, folding his arms behind his head. "Just hope none of your folks are home yet"."They shouldn't be, both usually work today" Colin answered. Although if they had the day off it would make things tricky. Hopefully they could pass off Jyarimon as a toy to them still. That's what he had told his sister after all when she saw Luke and Bellamy before they had their holosuits - that they were plushies. They arrived at the skyscraper that housed their apartment, making their way up on the elevator. From there, they strode down the corridor, Colin using his keycard to open the door. He opened, issuing a "Hello?". There was no reply.
"It's clear" Colin said to his partners. They entered, happy that it was just them. "Welp, time to get outta this annoying holosuit" Bellamy said when the door was closed. He pressed a little button in his pocket, and in a brief emission of light, he instantly transformed from a human to an Impmon, dressed in a red scarf and gloves, covered in cat-like purple fur. "Hope it doesn't scare her" he said. Luke meanwhile did the same, putting Jyarimon down on the sofa first, before transforming into his natural form as an Elecmon - covered in soft red and white fur, wearing a blue scarf. "We're here, Jyarimon" he said in a gentle voice. |

Jyarimon continued her sleep as the four of them entered Colin's home. She wouldn't keep sleeping for much longer, though, as Luke's placement of her on the sofa roused her. Jyarimon opened her eyes quickly upon waking, looking around the apartment in curiosity. Her attention span would be interrupted by Bellamy and Luke's transformations back into their digimon forms, causing Jyarimon to emit excited cries. Recognizing a familiar looking thing brought a sense of safety back which she hadn't felt since stumbling into the human world a few hours ago. She bounced in place, a happy expression on her face as she began to take in her new surroundings.
She hopped off of her spot on the sofa onto the surface below, her nose drifting upward. She smelled the air around them, a particular scent catching her attention. She shifted in place, turning around until she was looking in the direction of the kitchen. A familiar sound emanated from her stomach as if in cue, causing Jyarimon's excited look to fade into a sadder look as she mumbled in place. Jyarimon at that point began to move toward the kitchen, more specifically toward the refrigerator as she traced the scent her nose had picked up.
She'd come to a stop right before the towering white monolith, unsure what to think. Where was that great smell she'd picked up a few moments ago?! Jyarimon pursed her small, toothy mouth together in frustration as she pushed her small body against the fridge, this thing was getting out of the way. In between trying to push the fridge out of the way of the food she suspected was behind it, she'd pause and catch her breath, giving someone a chance to open it or talk to her.

"Heh, hungry, eh?" Luke asked as Jyarimon bounced over to the kitchen. Colin's apartment wasn't that luxurious, but big enough for the habitation of a family with five people. As well as the entrance hall, there was the lounge room to the right and a dining room to the left. Straight ahead was the kitchen, although it was open-plan so there were few walls.
Past the lounge room were the bedrooms - four of them. One for his parents, and one each for Colin and his brother and sister. Rather luxurious to have a four bedroom apartment indeed, but, affordable with Colin's parents working in Engineering and Business.
Luke followed Jyarimon into the kitchen, noting that she was looking intently at the fridge, attempting to open it. Even Bellamy had to agree that it was probably one of the cutest things he'd seen before the Impmon stepped forward. "Alright, geez" he said, pulling the door open, revealing a large amount of refrigerated food inside.
"Colin, anything we should give her?" he asked. "Your mom's stew maybe?" he suggested.
"Hmm, that sounds like a good idea" Colin agreed. His mother's chicken stew seemed to taste better when refrigerated and re-heated after all. Bellamy took out a bowl of stew, getting ready to re-heat it.

Jyarimon let out a small puff of air as she felt tired, the large blockade not moving at all. She moved back a little, a sad look on her face until Bellamy intervened. As he opened the fridge, her senses came under assault from the foods inside. Her face quickly changed form dejected to a mixture of surprise and glee. Her eyes hastily viewed the contents of the refrigerator while she grew a large and goofy looking grin on her small red face.
In thanks to her 'hero', she nuzzled up against Impmon's right side, making what sounded like a happy chirping noise. As Impmon reached upward and past her to retrieve an item from the fridge, she moved closer. Just above her, roughly two feet or so, a daikon radish sat with it's leafy green tips dangling in the air. Jyarimon's face took on a look of determination as she wriggled in place. When she was ready, she leapt forth into the air majestically!
And really only moved a few inches higher, not close enough for her infantile teeth to grab onto the taunting white root vegetable. A look of surprise wormed it's way onto her face, but that look quickly turned into determination as she made repeated attempts to drag the food down from it's spot, her teeth gnashing in the air as she tried, her eyes closed in focus. She was so intent on getting the radish that she didn't even pause until the 'ding!' of the microwave caught her attention. She turned around to view the strange black box which had broken her train of thought, blinking her eyes.

"Heh, aw, she likes you Bellamy" Luke cooed to his brother as she nuzzled against his right side.
"Yeah yeah" Bellamy muttered, but the Impmon still smiled. As cool as he liked to act, deep down he was kind of fond of baby digimon.
Bellamy then put the stew in the microwave, grumbling that he couldn't just reheat it with his Baddaboom fireball. Colin had asked him not to use that attack in the house since it set off the smoke detectors, so that was the main reason. Still though, he kinda liked the convenient technology.
He turned and saw Jyarimon was trying to get a radish from the fridge. Bellamy folded his arms and watched curiously, wondering if she could reach it. In the end, it seemed she didn't. Oh well.
"Better luck next time, eh?" Bellamy asked, walking over to the fridge and took a small radish out for Jyarimon to nibble while the stew in the microwave cooled down.
"Hmm. Do you guys think we should take Jyarimon to school tomorrow?" Colin asked his partner. "I mean, maybe one of the other students is the partner that she's looking for?"
Luke was a little unsure about that, but, it seemed like they'd have little choice. "Well, we can't leave her here, so, I think we'd have to" the Elecmon said, raising a claw to his chin. "Hope none of the teachers get angry about it though".
"Eh, if they do I'll make a distraction" Bellamy said, giving a devilish grin.

Jyarimon's face looked as if she were in heaven, due to the pleasant aroma of the stew on the counter. She let out a tiny, squeaky sigh as she stared at the bowl from down below. Her train of thought was broken by the white vegetable now falling toward her from Bellamy. Instinctively, she opened her mouth wide, chomping down on the root. She'd look up at Bellamy with a cheery, albeit stuffed grin.
She began vigorously chomping on the piece of food, overhearing a few words which she didn't quite understand. They were talking about something called school, and they brought up that word she'd heard earlier, partner she thought it was. After taking the last bite of her food, she looked down at the linoleum floor, then closer her eyes. She was thinking of the image from earlier, that thing that looked like the Colin, but it had white hair. The more she focused, the more she seemed to get a clearer picture, but parts of this Colin's face were still a little blurry.
She let out a breath after having focused for a moment. Just then, the words that the Colin spoke came back into her head, prompting her to look up, and between the three of them. She cried out "School school! Partner partner!" excitedly. She had unknowingly agreed with Colin on his plan, even though she didn't understand what a school or partner was entirely. Upon Bellamy's mention of a distraction, she focused ahead of her, with her tiny body wiggling in place. After a moment, she let out a small red bubble, which floated harmlessly into the air a few inches before popping.
"Distraction!" she chirped.

"Heh, funny that ya like your greens so much" Bellamy remarked at Jyarimon. "Although... it ain't actually green, but... eh, Colin's always tellin' me and Luke to watch our diets"
"I just want you two to be healthy is all" Colin said, shrugging. "And if my parents make me eat my vegetables I'm not letting you two get away with missing out"
"Yeah Yeah" Bellamy muttered. Jyarimon seemed to finish her radish. "Alright, should be cool by now" he took the bowl out of the microwave. It was a reasonable temperature by now. "Okay, lunch is ready, kid, here ya go" he said, putting the bowl on the floor, supposing that was the simplest way of doing things. "And don't worry about makin' a mess, Luke can clean it up later".
"Hey!" Luke whined. Colin grinned, the antics between the three digimon was fun. And it seemed Jyarimon wanted to go along with the idea to take her to school, although she probably didn't know what it meant.
Then Bellamy watched as she made a 'distraction', of a bubble.
"Oh wow that's a neat trick" Colin said, impressed.
"Don't get all giddy about it, all digimon blow bubbles at her age" Bellamy said, before realizing he was probably being a bit surly. "Although... that one was pretty good I'll admit" he said to Jyarimon.
"Heh. Wow, Bellamy, I've kinda forgotten how sweet you can act sometimes" Luke said, smiling.
"Blow it out your butt, bunny-boy" Bellamy scoffed, but was internally pleased at his brother's praise.

Jyarimon blinked her eyes as she watched Bellamy set the bowl down in front of her. Whatever delicious smell she detected earlier was coming out the bowl. She peered over the side and was completely taken aback in bliss at the smells. Upon hearing Bellamy give the go ahead, she dove right in eagerly. After a few seconds, she withdrew her face from the bowl, seemingly paralyzed in joy at the taste of the stew.
As she began licking at the slick coat of stew on her face, she looked back at Bellamy after giving her his compliment. Her facial expression contorted into what looked like a bit of a bashful expression as she went right back to the bowl of stew. While she was eating, she didn't really hear the teasing going on between the brothers, though she did catch the end of Bellamy's reply. After finishing her food, she let out a tiny burp, a satisfied expression on her face. However, after finishing her food, she began to feel an immense tiredness overcoming her.
She yawned as she felt her eyelids droop. At that point she was struggling to stay awake, but managed an excited "bunny....butt.." before falling asleep. She sat on the floor of the kitchen, emanating a high pitched, but cute sounding type of snoring.

Bellamy smiled, folding his arms as Jyarimon seemingly enjoyed the meal. "Heh, that's the way, make sure you get bits everywhere so Luke can get some real exercise cleanin' it up"
"Aw, go to the Dark Area, Bellamy" Luke scoffed back. The mess wasn't too bad and Bellamy was just kidding around. Then, just after she finished her meal, she immediately began to nap.
"Well then, at least she doesn't go hyper afterward" Luke said, walking over and picking her up. "Should I put her in your room, Colin?"
"Yeah, let's do that" Colin agreed. They entered his room, just in case Colin's parents came home early. With that the three discussed quietly what they should do.
"Hmm... if we don't find her partner before she evolves to Rookie, do you think we should take her back to the digital world?" Colin asked, unsurely. "It's just... Jyarimons evolve into Guilmon don't they? They're even bigger than you guys"
"That... might be for the best" Luke agreed. "But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, okay?"
With that in agreement, the three of them kept quietly to their business for the rest of the day, Luke and Bellamy keeping quiet in Colin's room while the boy attended to his homework. Well then, hopefully Jyarimon wouldn't make too much disturbances tonight. But by now Colin was used to hiding digimon in his room, so, it'd be nothing new in that case.

While Jyarimon was moved into Colin's room she continued to sleep without her surroundings bothering her too much. However she was unable to stop herself from tossing and turning during her sleep, as if something was bothering her. The image of the Colin she saw from the park seemingly returned during her sleep. The more she tried to clear the image in her head, the stranger she began to feel.
Eventually progress was made and the image suddenly became quite clear, as if she was recognizing a friend from long ago. Jyarimon's eyes suddenly opened as her body began to pulsate a glowing white color. The baby digimon gritted her teeth as her body began to change. Shortly after this out of place transformation her body became fully white colored, her tiny body growing a bit larger and morphing in certain places. After about ten seconds or so her evolution was complete, and standing in Jyarimon's place was Gigimon!
The new In-Training stage digimon kept her eyes closed as she was unfamiliar with the process and feeling quite overwhelmed. After a second or two she opened her eyes cautiously. Immediately her attention was drawn to her new legs, which she stumbled on after taking a step forward. She stared forward at the wall from the spot she'd been sleeping in with a look of embarrassment on her face. "H..hey! I'm not tiny!?" she said worriedly, looking around for any sign of the trio from earlier.
After her comment about her size she suddenly looked surprised at her own capability. "I...I can talk good now too!" she said excitedly, her tail wagging in emphasis.

Bellamy and Luke were kind of drifting off to sleep themselves as the hours ticked by. Luke was resting in a beanbag near Jyarimon, reading one of Colin's dad's engineering textbooks. Bellamy meanwhile was playing a game on Colin's 3DS with the volume muted, giving grunts of frustration when he failed a level. This was often, as the console was kind of designed for humans with five fingers, not an Impmon with three.
"Dammit" he muttered when he failed a level again.
"I think the saying goes, 'Git Gud'?" Luke said. Bellamy told him to go frag himself, causing snickering. Then all of a sudden, Jyarimon began to glow.
"Ah, she's evolving!" Luke exclaimed as she swelled a little in size. As expected, when the evolution faded, she appeared as a Gigimon. "Heh, awesome stuff" Luke said, pleased.
"Heh, aw, Luke, she looks like you" Bellamy said, teasingly. "Well, if you were... kinda lizardy and stuff"
"Hey, that's not-" Luke took a closer look at Gigimon. "Well, okay, I guess so" he reluctantly admitted seeing as she did look kind of similar. "But... ah that's great, Gigimon! You can talk better now, right?"
It seemed that was so. Colin looked up from his homework, interested at the scene.
"Oh, heya, you've evolved" he praised Gigimon. "How do you feel?" he asked, curiously.

Gigimon gazed at the three of them in their scattered positions around the room. Her eyes were wide open, the desire for sleep no longer being anywhere close to what she currently wanted. Eager to test out her newly developed limbs she gingerly walked into the center of the room then proceeded to run around in circles until she got tired. She let herself fall over with a pant after having worked up a bit of a sweat, but her face had a happy look to it as she turned to Luke. "Gigimon can talk good AND walk good too!" she chirped, quickly trying to regain her standing position.
After regaining her balance she turned to look up at Colin who was seated nearby. "Gigimon feels better than good!" she said while taking another moment to exercise. In some ways she was acting like a puppy who'd just found it's forever home. As if on cue, her newfound curiosity was making her look around the world in an entirely new light. Seeing the odd thing in Bellamy's hands she wandered over with a curious look painted on her face. "What that?" she asked, trying to peer over and under Bellamy at the lit screen.
While waiting for some kind of response, she'd look over at Luke who was reading a book instead. "Why Luke not have one?" she said, cocking her head to the side in thought.

Colin watched Gigimon with the same expression as he would if he was watching an excited kitten or a puppy playing around, giving a little chuckle at how adorable the sight was. He even lowered his hand for Gigimon to play with if she wanted to.
Luke and Bellamy's expressions were a bit more basic, seeing as they were used to that kind of behaviour from a digimon. But both watched her fondly.
By now they had caught on to the fact that if they were too overly affectionate with Gigimon, she might not want to go and find her partner, instead she might prefer to stay with them. While neither particularly minded that prospect, it might not be a fair thing in the long run, and Luke was holding back the urge to be more affectionate to her.
"Heh, I see, that's great!" Luke said, putting down his book, supposing that paying attention to her was more important for the moment. Supposing it might be important to get this point across, Luke knelt down in front of her and spoke in a gentle yet clear voice.
"Now, Gigimon. If you hear footsteps outside the door here, that means you've gotta be still and not make any noise, okay?" he asked. "You've gotta be still like a statue if you see anyone other than Colin, Bellamy or me, okay?"
Hopefully this point got across, that if Colin's parents walked in on them, they wouldn't see a little lizard-puppy walking around and give Colin trouble over it.
Bellamy looked up as Gigimon asked what the thing he was holding was. "It's a 3DS, kid" he said. "It's a little portable game that humans play with, although you kinda need opposable thumbs to get the hang of it, heh, sorry".
Why Luke didn't have one? Bellamy grinned up at his brother. "Cause Luke ain't a cool kid, he's too busy readin' up on how to build a motorcycle for card games or whatever..."
"You'll thank me when the time comes and my engineering expertise is needed, Bellamy" Luke said, loftily.

As Bellamy explained why Luke lacked a handheld gaming device Gigimon's mind quickly wandered throughout the rest of the room. She rubbed her side against Colin's hand, emitting a noise that sounded like a mixture of a cat's purr and a low pitched chirp. Just then Luke caught her attention by calling her over. Gigimon walked over playfully as if she were skipping on her small four feet. She looked up at Luke as he explained not to move at all if someone other than the three of them saw her.
Gigimon's face took on a questioning expression, as she was unsure what this 'statue' was that Luke spoke of. "S..sta....statue? What that?" she asked, her tail wagging as she kept her gaze locked on Luke. As she waited for an answer Bellamy took the time to respond to her earlier question. In her mind Gigimon's perception of Bellamy continued to rise, one day she hoped she could be a cool kid!
"Is that a food?!" she asked excitedly.
OOC: Blurp, wasn't exactly sure where I wanted to go with this other than reply. : P

Luke decided to demonstrate to Gigimon what a statue was. "A statue is just a... person made out of stone that doesn't move" he said. "Here, I'll show you". The Elecmon then fell to the floor, lying completely still. "See? Just gotta be still and quiet and don't move"
"Even if Colin's sister comes in like this and goes 'Oh my gosh that plushie is so cute!'" Bellamy added, and made this even harder for Luke by tickling his white belly. Luke's face grew a darker shade of purple until he finally burst out laughing and went "Argh damn it!", his leg shaking furiously like a dog's.
"Bellamy come on" Colin chided, but chuckled, amused. Bellamy grinned then looked at Gigimon.
"Eh? Food?" he asked, looking at the device. "Nah, this ain't food, kid. And... yeesh are you hungry again? You just ate"
"She just ate and then digivolved" Luke corrected him, sitting back up. "So she'd be hungry again, yes?"
"Hmm, eh, alright... you might wanna get some this time, Colin, your folk'll be home in a minute and I don't think they'll be pleased to see 'plushies' using the microwave" Bellamy said, chuckling.
"Hmm. Okay then" Colin said, looking at Gigimon. "So do you want the same thing? White radishes and chicken stew? That is if you're hungry again of course" he thought he'd best confirm since the twins did not.
