((For reference, I will be requesting Bits for my reward.))
Ah, what had Asher gotten himself into now? This situation was clearly full of problems that the redhead hadn't particularly considered beforehand. Fingers tapped on the table of his kitchen, while occasionally glancing at the door. "Well, they're definitely too big to eat," the teen tried to joke.
Yellow eyes met incredibly unenthused green ones, as he seemed trapped in a staring contest with his cat. A few more taps on the table, before the boy looked away. "Okay,
okay, I get it! Not funny." Hearing the feline clear her throat, Asher let out a groan. "Was I supposed to just leave them there?" Taking a quick glance back at the feline, he quickly averted his gaze. Yeah, Whiskers certainly didn't approve of this entire situation.
"I'll call someone to help with it, alright? I'm sure we can fix it." Or not! Probably not. Asher's judgement was always terrible!
But, fingers still swiped through his cell phone, until they fell across one that he knew would likely be available. Pressing the green button, the teen waited through the ringing, only for it to go to voicemail. Darn it! Ah, maybe his friend was just in a patchy area for service! "Hey, Junjun! It's Asher -- which you knew, because you have caller ID, but--" Wow, Meicoomon's glare was really unnerving! "Think you can come over when you get this? I need some help with something. I'll text you my address. It's on Society Hill. See you soon! --No, Whiskers, what're-" click!
"Cats don't wield newspapers! Put it down!" Raising an arm to block a rolled up newspaper, the Meicoomon stood on the table trying to whack him in the face.
"Bad Ashpurr!" She reprimanded, trying to take another swing only for the human to pull the paper from her paws. "What is another spurrit mewsur going to do fur us?" This warranted a small shrug and smile from the redhead, only furthering to agitate his pet. "They're digimon eggs! You're gonna make it worse!"
Probably. Asher really wasn't the most logical of people, after all! Who else decided to take two mysterious eggs home with them?

Bits for reward please!))
______________________________________________________________
Junjo couldn't believe that he had gotten a call so soon from Asher. He had missed it too! He was too busy poking around Gacha machines in the new store that had opened up down the road. He had found a few key chains he liked though!
He held one anxiously in his hand that he wanted to give to Asher. It looked a lot like the red head and so he thought it was a perfect gift! He stared at the door, wondering if he even wanted to press the button. Of course he did, but this all seemed to be so soon. He was gushing at the thought of being at Asher's house.
He pushed the button, letting his finger sink towards the wall for a moment. "U-um, Asher senpai? It's Junjo. I got your message?" He wondered if anyone would answer. Most places had these door buzzers that you talked into, right? Or he was just talking to a button.

Reaching across the table, the redhead's finger lingered inches away from one of the eggs. "They're so weird! Did you come from one of the-"
"Don't touch them! What if they crack?" The feline swatted the teen's hand away with one of her tendrils. Asher knew no bounds, did he? What if he poked the egg and it just rolled off the table? These things weren't always that durable!
With another well-directed glare, the cat hopped off the table and began toward the door, which was conveniently attached to the kitchen. Just as the buzzer began, the feline used one of her ribbons to push the door open, staring up at the entity waiting on the other side. Hopefully he wouldn't get a door to the face! "Ashpurr, it's your human-thing. Now, how's he helping?" What a warm welcome! Then again, Whiskers still seemed bitter about Asher bringing home new monsters!
Maybe she was jealous!
Either way, the teen turned in his chair to grin at Junjo. "Come on in!" Why was Junjun so formal with him? He could always just call him Asher! But, eh, there were more important things to tell him right now! One finger pointed to two eggs that were wrapped in a blanket on the table. "You don't know anything about taking care of eggs, do you?"

Junjo stepped back in surprise to see Meicoomon's fuzzy tendril opening the door for him. The cat creature didn't seem to like him very much and so he was a bit nervous around it. "O-oh, um, hello Meicoomon San."
He followed the orange thing inside, closing the door and taking off his shoes as any polite Japanese person would.
He bowed to Asher, pushing his hands forward with his keychain gift as a sort of offering before staring upwards to notice the strange eggs sitting on the table. "Thank you for allowing me into your home--A-are those digi-eggs?!" He had seen a few when they ended up in some strange place that looked like a toy box the last time they were in the digital world together.
"Asher senpai, where did you get those?. . "

"Whiskers," the rookie corrected, quickly. She didn't need to be called Meicoomon-san! That was just weird sounding! And a mouthful! "Karin calls me Fluffykin, though, if you like that bettfur." It didn't matter to the maine coon, after all! She had dealt with being called a 'mister' for far too long for her to care about the actual name portion!
Looking at the offering, the redhead tilted his head. "What's this?" There was a melodic hum to his words, as he reached out to take the keychain. "It's kind of cute!" Or, at least, he thought it was! Was this for him? Or was Junjo just showing him it?
Asher wanted to ask, but he was too busy answering the next question. "Uh,
yeah! They are!" Ignoring the glare from his cross-pupiled cat, the teen continued to grin, though it faltered a little when he concluded he was going to have to admit where they came from. "I found them in a trash can?"
This created a new groan from his pet, as she intejected with, "do nyat tell me that you went dumpstpurr diving!"
What? Dumpster-- What? Asher? Pssh! "No way!" The teen started out offended, trying to get in his explanation before anyone else could accuse him of something like that. "I went to throw away something, and they were just sitting on the top of some trash. Nobody was around, and I didn't want them to get broken!" Some garbage could be pretty heavy! Those eggs wouldn't stand a chance! "But now I don't know what to do with them!" And that was exactly why he called Junjo to the scene!

Whiskers, what kind of name was that? He supposed it befit a house cat. But Meicoomon was a walking on two legs, talking, creature. Surely there was something better to call her?
Junjo assumed it was obvious that he was giving Asher a gift. So, he said nothing more about the key-chain, though he wondered if it really was the best gift for him.
As he listened to the two argue he grew concerned."So. . .you called me here because you found Digi-Eggs in the trash can. . .?" He sighed.
"I'm not really sure what I could do. . " he mentioned before leaning down close to the eggs. "Hey, this one has little pixie wings. How cute~" Though he didn't understand why an egg would have wings exactly.

Twirling the keychain in his hand, Asher took another moment to examine it. Was it him, or did it look kind of like... well, him? Weird! When Junjo didn't move to take it back, the teen closed the item into his palm to keep it safe for the time being. Being dense had its downfalls, of course, so Asher still wasn't really sure if he was supposed to keep the item.
But he had a question to answer! And, it really seemed like the teal-haired man was finding it just as weird as Whiskers had, as to why he would call. "Well," the actor drew the word out, not having much in the way of excuses. "Yes!" Yeah, that wasn't helping him any, either. "Hey, I don't know what to do with them. Your ideas can't be any worse!" What was a worse plan than to bring random eggs home from a garbage can?
"Maybe mew should put them back where mew found them," Meicoomon suggested, throwing a glance to Junjo for backup. Except, that might be lost on the sudden interest that the person was placing in the design of the eggs.
"They can't belong in a garbage can," Asher insisted, leaning forward to look over the egg that Junjo was admiring. "Babies shouldn't be thrown away!" That was, like, the first rule of parenting! And, if it wasn't, it really needed to be! "Got any ideas?" Hopefully not involving siding with Whisker's suggestion! Not that Asher would listen, even if the both of them did want to trash some baby monsters!

". . .well, maybe we should take them back to Elecmon. I'm sure he's worried about them--but then that makes me wonder how they got here in the first place." Junjo ran his fingers through his hair as he stared at the odd eggs.
He poked the little wings again and they fluttered subtly. "Whoa. . .that's cool. Weird. But cool." He grinned. "Oh-if they're here in the human world, maybe there are two new tamers who need partners! What if its our job to make sure they get to their partners safely?" That still didn't explain how the eggs ended up in a human dumpster, but they could figure out that detail later.

Back to Elecmon? Well, that seemed like a decent idea! "At least Elecmon would know what to do with them," the redhead reasoned, with a nod. The worst part would be bringing 'fragile' items through a crowded train station! ...Asher clearly had no idea how durable these eggs could really be! "I mean, if they're meant for some new people, wouldn't they be somewhere that those people would find them?"
"Like when they throw away their drink containpurrs?" Whiskers contented, with a flick of her tail.
Oops! Okay. That made sense. But, Asher really liked Junjo's suggestion better! "Yeah! Maybe we're digi-helpers!" The teen grinned, shooting a cocky glance to his cat.
"Okay. Well, if mew are, how will mew both find them?" The cat challenged, crossing her arms. These people shouldn't be left in a brainstorming room together! It could only end badly! "That said, if mew really want to help these kittens, Elecmon is purrobably the best choice."
Who knew if these little monsters were even partnered to anyone?

"It's still better to take them back to Elecmon and if they are supposed to be here, we can bring them back to the right owners. But anything is possible. Who knows how those eggs got here or why."
He sounded serious again, but poked the one with the wings again and chuckled warmly as little bits of glitter scattering about. "I like this one." Probably because it reminded him of his spirit's wings in multiple forms.
"Hm, on the train we can say that we're toy testers adn that these are very fragile and expensive prototypes! Anything goes in Japan, right?" Even as a native he found himself questioning the strange things that often happened in his country.

Elecmon was almost definitely the best choice. Rising from his chair, the redhead leaned over the egg that Junjo wasn't cooing over. Before Meicoomon could get huffy, he scooped the egg up in one arm, while making a motion at the other with his free hand. "Can you carry that one?" It would suck if he dropped it and broke it!
"Don't get too attached to it," Whiskers warned the teal haired boy, with a shake of her head. "If they belong to someone, you'll be sad." Or if the baby didn't like Junjo, in general, he'd be sad! It was hard to say what kind of little monster would pop out, after all! They might be really fussy!
Pushing his seat in with his hip, Asher looked down to the egg he was holding. The urge to shake it like a Christmas present was a little overwhelming, but he managed to resist! For now, at least! "Should we get going?"
It was almost like Meicoomon saw the thought that had passed through her human's eye, cringing. "Purrlease. Both of mew. Be careful with the babies!" Sure, Digi-eggs were durable and, at least, Whiskers knew that! But they still had a limit! And who knew what it could do to the mentality of a baby within!

Junjo followed the red head out with the egg carried softly in his grasp. It's little wings twitched on occasion, it certainly was a lively little egg. "We'll be careful. We have to be!" He nodded affirmatively. He was sure he could handle this, after all he baby sat his cousins all the time.
He did see himself getting attached to the thing, but he would do the right thing and give it to its true owner if it came down to that.
"Do you think that we should cover them up? Are they sensitive to the sun?"

Whiskers wasn't so sure about how careful Junjo was, but Asher was already a concern to her without assistance! Not that she had much say in the matter. Both boys were way bigger than she was! What if they trapped her under a laundry basket or something?
Instead, the Meicoomon decided to follow the duo toward the train station.
Already outside, Asher looked down at his egg, then up at the sun. Oh! Bright! Bright! Why did he do that?! Blinking repeatedly, the teen tried to pretend he didn't just worsen his eyesight terribly. "Sensitive to sun? Do eggs do that?"
This hadn't even been a thing that Whiskers had considered! "I don't nyao. Are they getting hot?" Eggs should stay warm, anyway! Boiled eggs were not desirable, however! "Unless they start looking weird, they're purrobably safe?" Despite how her job description seemed, the cat certainly knew nothing about babysitting!
It didn't help any that Asher just kept blindly walking toward the train station. Literally. He was still seeing sunspots. "You guys worry too much! The faster we get to the station, the less sun they'll have! Right?" Terrible logic.

Junjo wondered if there were more things about digi-eggs that he didn't know about. Did they like being talked too, what about music, did they have favorite thing before they even hatched? These were all questions that he was sure were very important.
"I think that logic makes sense Asher-kun." Junjo agreed. "Plus, the faster we get there, the faster we can get to Elecmon." He beamed, though he wished there was a faster way to get to the Digital World, like a portal or something.
"I wonder if one of our spirits would be better suited for something like this? Maybe we should transform once we get on the train."
