Rinji just about heard Amy's question, essentially asking what his hobbies were. But he found himself silenced, his attention rested on the two boys. Would they be mad at them, or just confused?
"The other humans we crashed into are here!" He said in hushed whispers, thinking Amy hadn't noticed them yet. Suddenly, one of the boys shouted out at them, in a surprisingly friendly manner from what he expected... And apologised?
The boy that had shouted to them had definitely seen him as well, having mentioned 'you guys', so trying to hide back in the toilets or behind Amy probably wouldn't work. Nonetheless, he didn't seem too phased by Rinji's appearance, so maybe these boys were tamers?
"Oh, i-it's okay. And, umm, yeah, I think we're okay?" Rinji replied awkwardly to the boy's question. Other than Amy's intoxication, she didn't seem hurt. "You are okay, right?" He asked her, just to be sure. Their little escapede didn't seem to have resulted in any injuries, luckily. He wouldn't know what he'd have done if she'd tripped because she was carrying him.
All in all, he was honestly very unsure about the new humans, and hoped Amy could handle the situation. He didn't know how to talk to the humans, or if Amy would even want them to talk to them. Since she was a human, she probably knew what was best, right?
Either way, he found himself standing closer next to Amy, having backed up a little and silently wishing he didn't attract any more attention from passerbys.

Welp, so much for going around unnoticed; maybe those had been just wishful thoughts but... was that hard to get a giant centipede to your house without people trying to chat with you? It wasn't like this was commonplace, but a lot of things aren't commonplace in this country. She could start with some pretty weird stuff that she'd found on convenience stores, but by far, the weirdest one she'd seen thus far was the sight of two definitely underaged kids being out at this time of the night. And apologizing to her, of all things; however, she wasn't going to ask that kind of stuff right now.
Rinji whispering that they were almost made the brunette sigh; things couldn't go smoothly for them, couldn't they? Taking a deep breath, Amy tried to compose her mind a bit before beginning to talk. "Oh, don't worry about. I'm sorry for that happening; you didn't get injured, right? I'm sure for being in such a hurry, really!" She hadn't expected for Rinji to ask if she was okay, though. Y-yeah. I'm okay; thanks for asking."
Now that that was out of the way, she sincerely wanted to get this night out of her system. Or, at the very least... to go to a place she wouldn't get inquisitive looks for hanging around a giant crimson centipede. "So... now that that's solved, I think we'll go our way. Right, Rin-Rin?"
Even though she thought Rinji was a bit naive, Amy hoped he'd get the tone of her voice; remaining out in the open could probably make something like what happened in the station happen again, and she probably didn't have enough energy to spring yet again.

The tamer promptly asked if Elliot was okay. How considerate of her! Elliot gave a brief, somewhat self conscious look towards his leg, smile briefly faltering. However, he tried to put it back on in time as he looked at the two of them. "Oh, no, I've always kinda been like that," he said, voice a little bit quieter than before. "This time I just kinda stumbled a little. It's all good, really." Maybe a tiny bit of bruising. Elliot was fragile, after all. However, he was in a pretty good state all things considered. "I'm glad you guys are doing okay!"
"By the way," Isaac said, eyeing the rather large centipede curiously. His voice dropped to a somewhat conspiritorial whisper, as if hoping nobody would end up overhearing them. "Do you know how to de-Digivolve? It makes it a lot easier to blend in." If Rinji was wondering whether the brothers were tamers before, hopefully that would answer a few of their questions.
"Oh, Isaac, you worry too much," Elliot said. "It's like, 3 in the morning. Nobody's gonna be looking out for Digimon at this time. Heck, we could probably show off if we really wanted to."
Did Elliot seriously just suggest that? Isaac's eyebrow raised a little. "Seriously? You're always the one getting worried about this kind of thing when I suggest cutting a bit loose. I really think you need to get some sleep." Concerned big brother mode, activate! He turned to the duo, as if hoping Amelie would understand.
"Anyway, my name's Isaac, and my brother here's named Elliot," he said, hoping for an introduction on a more proper foot.
"Great to meet you!" |

Glad nobody had been injured, Rinji stood quietly, listening to the two humans converse while he fiddled with his forelegs(arms?) restlessly; making soft clicking sounds as the hard segments touched each other. Elliot seemed quite friendly, although Amy didn't seem too keen on the extra company.
And yet, Rinji wondered if these two newcomers were tamers? The one with the light head-fur was staring at him, and he felt a little unnerved, briefly wondering if there was something wrong - until the boy spoke up.
"De-digivolve? Umm, I don't think so..." He didn't think most digimon could do it on command, his own digivolutions weren't even necessarily voluntary... wait, if this human knew what digivolution was, then surely he must be a tamer! "Hey, you're a tamer, right? Please could you tell me how to get back to the digital world?" He pleaded; it was a shot in the dark, but he was pretty desperate, considering the idea that he was effectively stranded. Then again, he had sort of promised to go with Amy - she'd definitely looked happy when he agreed to go home with her...
And right now, she'd basically prompted him that it was time to go. But wait! He just needed to know if one of the boys knew a way to go home - she'd understand, right? But he nodded at her discreetly anyhow. He was ready when she was.
Wait, did one of them just say 'We could probably show off'? Rinji shifted nervously, wondering what they meant - he really hoped they were talking amongst themselves and not him - he wasn't one for the spotlight, let alone showing off. That screaming woman had been enough for him.
Deciding it would be best to just stay quiet, as they'd probably be leaving soon anyway, Rinji introduced himself after Isaac, "Uh, I'm a Scolomon, but you can call me Rinji if you want."

Well, this had definitely taken a strange turn. Amy was about to keep on with a normal conversation with apparently normal people, but then... Rinji and the two "humans" began to talk about the same gibberish Rinji seemed to have talked about earlier. And that made Amy think; it made her think that... maybe these two were aliens too? That'd would explain why two seemingly young kids were out this late at night. What if Rinji was their long lost comrade and they had been sent to rescue him? Well, at least by his pleading tone when he asked about a method to get him back home, it surely seemed to be a bit like that. "Alright... I think I lost the thread." Looking for the bench where the brothers had been previously seated, she sat herself before continuing. "You three seem to understand each other so... if you can help Rin-Rin, please do so. He's a good guy."
Maybe this would be their goodbye? Well, at least she could say that it had been a hell of a night. "My name's Amelie, by the way; but just Amy is fine." She made a small pause, finally getting enough courage to ask the question that had been wandering her mind for some time now. "So... are you going to use your weird flashy-flashy memory erasers on me? Or do you have other plans in mind?"
Maybe she had just seen too much Men in Black. Well, that and she was slightly drunk; it wasn't like she was on her best thinking moments right now.

"Well, kinda . . ." Elliot said in response to whether they were tamers or not. "But I mean, we know how the Digital World works, at least." There was a time and a place to ramble about the intricacies of being spirit users, and this wasn't quite it.
Soon, though, the question as to whether they could get to Digital World properly settled. Isaac and Elliot looked between each other before bursting into laughter. The memories of their first day in the Digital World came flooding back, and while in the moment it was terrifying now it was something to look back on and laugh at. Of course, poor Rinji would probably be left way out of the loop, so Isaac forced himself to recover sooner to try and get in a proper state for explanations. "Hoo boy, we are, like, the worst possible people to ask about that," Isaac said. "Unless you like going for a swim in the Shibuya River, of course."
"Don't mind Isaac, he's just caught up in the memories," Elliot said. "We know the way now, of course. But . . . you're probably not gonna be happy to hear that it's all the way back at the train station. I know, you just spent all that time getting back from there and all. Please don't be mad!"
At the mention of Men in Black memory flashers, Isaac and Elliot both blinked in surprise. What? Why would they ever have that? Whereas Elliot just looked confused, Isaac just sighed. "No, we don't have any of those. Trust me, I checked," Isaac said. "Don't ask, long story. I swear, though, the fact that a group designed entirely to cover up Digimon sightings doesn't have those confuses the heck out of me . . ."
"Why would we do that, anyway?" Elliot asked. "You're Rinji's human, right? It'd be really unfair to both of you to do that." Clearly, Elliot had misunderstood the relationship between these two! |

Laughing wasn't what Rinji had expected, and he felt a bit stupid for a minute, until he realised they must have been laughing at something else. Maybe it was an inside joke? But, by and large, they had at least understood what he was talking about.
"Oh... I guess that's it, then? It's okay," so he would have to go back to the train station. His antennae drooped in disappointment; there was no way he could make it back there. He'd attract too much attention, even with the help of Amy, Isaac, and Elliot. He was officially stuck. He'd possibly have to learn how to live in the human world, and wondered if he'd be the first digimon to do so.
He was also a little confused when Amy had sat down and mentioned 'flashy things' to erase her memory. "What's a flashy thing?" Had he confused her by talking about tamers again in front of the other humans? Feeling bad, Rinji went and tried, as best as he could, to sit down on the bench too. It was a bit awkward, but he managed to get half of his body on the actual bench, with the other half - his tail end - hanging off the edge. "Sorry if I confused you again... I could explain what a digimon and the Digital World is, if you want? Or we could go back to yours and I could explain there or on the way back, if that's better?" He wasn't sure if he was helping at the moment, or if he'd do a good job at the explaining part - considering he wasn't a human like her, but they had to start somewhere, right?
However, as much as he liked Amy, she surely couldn't be his human. She didn't have a digivice, after all; he hadn't seen one on her. "Umm.. thank you, but I don't think Amy is a tamer. She doesn't have a digivice, I think." He explained to the other humans. There again, he had no idea how tamers were created.
All this talking was taking precious time, and the park was getting noticeably lighter. The first light of dawn had bled from the horizon, like watercolour paint in the sky. They'd have to get moving soon; or risk being discovered even further.

This whole conversation had Amelie more confused than a chameleon in a bag of skittles. It felt frustrating to varying degrees, but doing a conscious effort on understanding left her with the conclusion that Elliot, Isaac and Rinji spoke the same strange language, and that these two could help Rinji out. So... everything was solved? She still couldn't understand most of what was spoken except that these two apparently didn't fancy the use of flashy-flashy memory erasers, and that Rinji had been kind enough to answer most of these two's questions on the matters that she didn't understand at all. At to explain what those terms meant later, something that made her sigh with relief.
"Thank you; that'd be awesome. I'm looking forward to understanding this strange slang you three seem to be so used to." However, being in the heart of a public park wasn't going to help much with that. The commotion caused by Rinji's appearance in the Train Terminal was already enough adrenaline for Amy, at least for a week or two. "But we should get moving, or at least you three." Her gaze then focused on Elliot and Isaac. "Are you going to return Rin-Rin to his world or...?"
If that wasn't possible, they'd probably have to hurry up. Otherwise, she could take her time at returning home.

"Of course we are!" Elliot chirped, a proud grin on his face. "Helping people is what we do, after all. Sure, this isn't our usual kinda situation, but that doesn't mean we're just gonna close our eyes and walk away."
"Not that it should be too bad, I think," Isaac pointed out. "It's still dark enough out that there shouldn't be much trouble. Then again, a few people are starting to come out at this time, so it's not like we can just walk down the street like we did on the way here. We might have to slip through a few alleyways to get there."
"We're in a pretty good part of town, though. We'll be fine!"
Elliot added. As someone in the less-than-great part of Shibuya, he was used to finding the easiest routes for slipping home untroubled. The train station, on the other hand, was heavily trafficked in peak hours and barren in the dead of nights. Besides, who would mess with a giant centipede? Nobody, that's who!
That said, Rinji made a good point. They should probably take a step back to explain the situation before making any grand plans. "Rinji's right, though. Maybe we should go somewhere else for a bit. That way it'll be bright enough to see better but still early enough to avoid people, and we can help explain all of this about you. Would you be able to let us visit your place, please?"
"Come on, Elliot, don't be rude," Isaac chided, the younger boy flushing a little as he realized how a lost bug and a perfectly sensible human asking the same question could come off way differently. "I'll offer up our place, if need be. It's not in the best part of town, but we know the way like the back of our hand."
And so, now there were three paths for the group to take. Would they rush right to the train station, visit Amelie's house, or visit the bros' house? Whatever was decided upon,
they'd better act fast. Dawn was coming fast! |

"If it'll be easier to go to your home, I don't mind," Rinji said, not really wanting to force the decision either way. He was glad the boys had offered to help him anyway, but he didn't want to cause another commotion by going back to the train station now. They could go back to either of the humans' homes, and he could stay out of the way until the next night, when he could try to go back to the station. Plus, Amy probably deserved an explanation by now.
But to who's home would they return? Amy had offered up her place earlier, but he wasn't sure if she'd be happy with Elliot and Isaac coming along as well. The two boys had also offered their home up; perhaps it would be best to go to whoever's home was closest? That seemed fair enough, if the others agreed. "Do you know how far away your homes are? Because then we could always go to the closest home."
Then, Rinji realised something - "um, you two live together?" For some reason, it seemed strange that the other two humans shared their home. There again, they looked roughly the same age... it wouldn't be far-fetched for humans to live in families as some digimon did, would it? Rinji had never considered how humans lived before.
He'd also have to think how he'd explain Digimon to Amy. Considering non-tamers knew nothing about Digimon, and he knew next to nothing about non-tamers, it'd be difficult. Hopefully Isaac and Elliot would be able to assist him with the explaining part. That is, once the group agreed on where to go next.

At least the plan was a simple one; get out of this place asap; the method they'd employ would probably walk before the rest of the city rose and shone. Not the most well-thought plan, but it wasn't like they needed something super refined to get out of this situation. "Yeah, sure. I have no problem with either of you coming to my place." She responded to Elliot, even though his brother brought another option to the table.
It was interesting how the whole conversation had boiled down to a simple question; to which home would they run towards? Rinji's take on it was probably the most logical one, and for somebody who'd probably get a nascent headache as soon as the first rays of the sun bathed the city, Amy surely was in a hurry. "My apartment's like... fifteen or so blocks away. Your place, guys? I have no problem with going to any of those, as long as we do it quickly. Everything else's probably unimportant right now."
That wasn't to say that the brunette wasn't growing really, really tired. If they spent more time pondering, she'd probably just fall asleep on the spot. So, whether the result of her little question, she'd just begin the journey towards either home.

"Mhm! We're brothers. Like we came from the same egg, except we don't have eggs," Elliot explained. Did Rinji know what that meant? Did Digimon even have family in that sense? Elliot knew there were twin pairings, but the constant cycles of reincarnation they lived through made him curious as to whether there was ever anything else. Could a Digimon pinch off some of its data, make a new egg from it, and call it a son? There was so much to find out about, so much to learn. Until then, though, he'd keep to the basics. "Although other people live together, too. Like moms and kids. Or husbands." No need to give Rinji a giant lecture. Surely Digimon had heard some of those words before, right?
He knew home, at least, and for the time being that was Amelie's. "You sure?" Isaac asked, wanting to make sure Amelie was absolutely fine with it before taking her up on her offer. For the more pragmatic of the brothers, he sure could be polite. "Ours is, like, a good 20. Even if we take shortcuts, I think you edge ours out," he explained, not necessarily wanting to admit that his home also wasn't very nice, He also didn't want to admit that Amelie seemed a little tipsy, and he'd rather her rest at her own place instead of spending the night at a stranger's house.
With that all said, it was time to start walking. However, judging by the smirk on his face, Isaac had other ideas. "If we walk quick enough, we'll probably be able to beat the early birds," he started, slipping a hand into his pocket as he spoke. "But if we really want to get there fast, I've got a plan. I could cut across the city and bring you all with in seconds flat."
Elliot's eyes widened as he realized what Isaac was suggesting. "Oh no," he said, shaking his head. "That's an awful idea!"
"Hey, you're the one who said we could show off, didn't you? 'Sides, we want to get everyone home as fast as possible, don't we?" Isaac asked, looking quite mischievous right now. "So, what's the plan, guys? Long and practical, or taking the express route?"

So humans didn't even have eggs? The idea of it was a reminder of just how alien humans really were. Still, Elliot's answers to his question only seemed to create more questions; such as how were humans created if they didn't come from eggs? But now wasn't the time to keep asking more questions - they'd have to get moving soon. And Isaac had proposed a plan that would potentially get everyone there faster.
"If it'll get us there quickly, I guess we could do that. But what is it? We're not taking a Trailmon, are we?" Elliot seemed to think the idea wasn't so great, but the worst idea Rinji could think of was being in public. Nonetheless, he was definitely intrigued. How could Isaac 'cut across the city' without the use of a vehicle of some sort?
After all, humans couldn't digivolve. Could they?

For what it felt like the thousandth time, Amy found herself completely at a loss; how was she supposed to react to concepts like the mere notion of humans coming out of eggs? That devolving on how and why families lived together and were assembled made her wonder if she hadn't fallen asleep and this was a weird dream. It had to be, right? What if she has hallucinating? Maybe she had just gone crazy.
Nah, that was unlikely. Her best bet at the moment was trying to find at least a speck of sense in this situation and get a good hold of it. Things would be clearer once they reached her home, right? That sounded like a good idea. "Yup. No need to be so worried about it. It's fiiine." She said with a reassuring, yet slightly tired voice; the proposition of a faster route seemed interesting, and as sleepiness weighed the teenager's mind heavily, she decided to eschew thinking about the plan's implications. "I'm down for the express route. What do we do?"
Most likely, Isaac knew about somebody with a car that wouldn't ask questions and that way they'd get faster? Maybe this was the silver lining of this crazy night; sighing deeply, some relief washed over Amy.

Isaac grinned wickedly as the group approved of his plan, while Elliot let out a defeated sigh. "Just get ready to hold on tight," Isaac said. "And point out your house when we're almost there. Wouldn't want to fly off past it, after all," Isaac said, the first hint dropped as to the brilliant idea he was currently cooking up. "Bring 'em up to speed for me, bro. I gotta get ready."
As Isaac stepped back into the guy's bathroom, Elliot turned to the group. He tried to find the words for what was going on, but he found himself opening and closing his mouth like a fish trying to breathe each time he tried to vocalize properly. Eventually he just decided to move on with it, voice equal parts deadpan and grumpy. "My brother is going to turn into an invisible dragon, pick you both up, and cut clear across town to get you home before you even know what's happening," he said, letting out a heavy sigh at the end of it.
No way anyone could believe this, right?
As if on cue, the bathroom door slammed open. Nothing seemed to come out of the doors, but judging by the heavy thud coming from behind Elliot its occupant had emerged. Only a few red, glowing spots running along the sides indicated that something was here. Well, that, and a pair of large, taloned hands slowly starting to gently wrap around Rinji and Amelie. "Don't panic, it's just me," Isaac's voice echoed. "Just gotta pick you guys up, and then we . . . can . . . GO!"
With a heavy flap of his wings, Isaac rocketed off into the air. With Elliot sitting on his back and the other two firmly held in his claws, it was time for this little entourage to get moving. Once he was too high to be spotted by most of Shibuya's pedestrians he unfurled his invisible wings, gliding through the night sky. "Can you see your house from here?" he asked Amelie, making sure to keep his pace slow enough to prevent the ground below from becoming a total blur. |
