Don't get mud in my coffee...(open)
|
Post by kaiserfenrir on Jul 22, 2017 9:18:52 GMT
Along the bank of the once pristine Shibuya River, with a hot cup of store bought coffee in one hand and a Samsung J3 mobile phone in the other, sat a white skinned teenager, European by most looks, muling over said phone without a care in the world. The young man, Jake, cared very little for the stench of the river. Nor the fact that he was sure he'd seen the trash he was asked to throw out the other day. What he did care for though, was the website he had currently loaded up on his smartphone. "C'mon...I thought they'd have updated the stupid thing by now." He groaned to himself before taking a sip from his polyester cup. Jake slipped the sleevless leather jacket from his body, letting it fall to the ground behind him, before lying back against the bank. 'God damnit its boring. Website won't load, laptop won't get signal and I'm sure my coffee tastes different. Idiots.' He thought to himself, phone now placed face down on the banking. Many of the people that knew Jake always asked why he sat here where the roaming data was pretty weak and he always stated the same thing: 'Its either this or listening to my old man complain about my lack of life choices.' To say he was anti-family was wrong. But anti-plan-your-life-before-your-30?...oh, right on the money! As the young man stared upward, he never noticed his phone screen light up. The moment was quick, barely lasting a second before it vanished. Leaving no trace.
After what felt like an hour, Jake rose up into his sitting position, looking around with squinted eyes. "Maybe I should head back. Give dad a reason to be pissed off again." He stated as he reached for his sling laptop bag, checking the contents inside just to be safe.

How to spend your day when one of your leg is metalcoated? Answer: With wheelchair. But for some reason, she ended up going to this part of Shibuya. The black haired girl who looked a bit too athletic for wheelchair just slowly... and honestly, out of place-ly wheels herself to this place... All with two strange looking 'toys' to be honest. One is a quadruped animal that looks like a... well, legged tsuchinoko? Another looked like rocket, attached itself on her arm.
"Oh, hello~" she greeted the other guy who... for some reason is hanging around here? Honestly, what a strange place to pick, but she guess that she's also an eccentric to go to this trash infested river. "Are you lost perhaps?" a sound argument, but she wondered if he understand Japanese? She switched to English just in case. "Ahem, sorry, are you lost by any chance?" It's thick with accent, but at least she's... quite proficient in it?
...upon closer look, though, is there is a toy that is sleeping?

Jake lazily looked to his side, raising a brow to the newly arrived wheelchair user. His mouth hung open for a moment as he seemed lost in thought before shaking his head. Clearing his throat, he spoke up in Japanese with a hint of an accent not many could pin point. "Nope. I'm exactly where I wanna be." He then slowly rose up, picking his jacket up from the ground. As he turned to face her, his head cocked to the side. Those toys did not look normal. Then again, he had a friend who collected those vocaloid crap. "Your toys are wierd lookin'." He said, scratching at his ear with one hand whilst his other swung his phone about limply. He soon did a double blink as he noticed that....one of them was moving. Not like a fixed animation thing. More like a 'sleeping like a living thing' thing. "Uh.....is that toy....sleeping or something? Because its either that, or someone spiked my coffee." He said, looking back at his, now probably cold caffine drink. "God damnit. I swear, if they did...."

"Oh, that's fun, I thought no one would go here unless they absolutely have to, you see... but then again who am I to talk when I'm going here myself?" she chuckled at her own remark. Yeah, slightly odd girl perhaps by people's standard, but at least she's not unhinged... albeit a certain Missimon would doubt that assessment. She looked at Jake's eyes closely as he pointed out about her... breathing, sleeping toy. Meanwhile, a grumble could be heard from the other toy... only if Jake is close enough or having really good hearing however. If he's really close he could almost hear something about showing someone what really weird looking toys looks like.
"...Oh why, food spiking is definitely not something common in this country. I have no idea how it is in yours, but pretty much nobody even would dare to spit in your food... hairs, blood and nail on the other hand..." she let the last part of the sentence trails off. Best not well known right? "But on the other hand, what makes you think that this guy is sleeping?" she asked, smiling slightly in... manner that's not quite clear whether she's teasing or just poking fun at him for calling her toy sleeping. "Not quite a nice way to point about people's interest though~ I mean, calling them weird that is."

Well, the dark area turned out to be an interesting place. Still, not even that place could make Katsura shiver in disgust as much as the Shibuya River. Around the river, Katsura walked in her arms she was carrying Nyao the Blackgatomon. Eventually, Katsura thought she saw someone, she knew. A tall girl named Koharu was talking with some stranger first in Japanese and then in English.
Katsura didn't knew if it was appropriate to interrupt, thus she walked up behind Koharu's wheelchair and just stared at them with her regular emotionless face. The second someone paid attention to her, she'd put on her friendly cheerful smile more or less regardless of how said interaction would turn out.

Turning his head back to look at her again, he sighed, shaking his head. "Look, just to stop the awkwardness a lil', I've been living here in Japan since I was about six. My country is Japan. I'm just....white." he said with a yawn. His eyes looked down to the still seemingly sleeping 'toy' before his eyes caught sight of another newcomer. This one being another girl. "Damn. And here I thought it'd be boring....she a friend of yours, wheels?" He asked to the wheelchair bound chick, finger pointing behind her. It was then he noticed the abnormally large cat in the new girls arms. ".....That is one strange cat...are those gloves?" Truley, this day was getting wierd.

Someone going to mistake you as Sadako, Kon-chan retorted inside her mind. Seriously, the hell with this girl? Is she for some reason broken? What with her and broken girls lately?
"Wheels? Of all nicknames? Wow, quite the rude one aren't you?" Koharu retorted, but yet she doesn't look offended the slightest, only amused. Her companion on the other hand, is different matter. Still, she just looked back and her friendly smile just... how to say... melted into one of resignation? "Not a friend, but we're no strangers either." she answered. "Hello there Katsura-san.. or Ise-san... which one is your surname again?"
Katsura can be surname too afterall.
"Anyway, glad that you're not exactly someone new, then... That's why there's no need to be afraid of someone spiking your coffee. You're probably just still a bit sleepy? That at over there is indeed with gloves, but mine is pretty much just a..."
a yawn came from the toy... yes, very visible, very wide yawn. Kon-chan held her urge to facepalm really hard, but Koharu just giggled. "not a toy for sure~"

It turns out that those people were friendly, so Katsura put up her big cheerful smile. If Kon-chan found Katsura's emotionless self disturbing, then maybe she'd like a sudden change in her facial expression. Or it could disturb her even more that Katsura did so after the word "wheel". It was then that Jake asked about Nyao's claws.
"Right? Nyao is my favorite toy!"
This was how Katsura disguised her digimon, by playing an act of "little girl with her plush". To complete the act Katsura hugged Nyao affectionately. Then Koharu asked for Katsura's name.
"Ise-san is fine." Katsura then made a greeting bow. Nyao meanwhile was far better at keeping up the act of being a toy. At worst, sometimes Nyao's eyes followed after Jake, only to go back before he could prove anything. Nyao had lots of fun in inflicting the feeling of being watched.

Jakes eyes flickered between three things. The wheelchair bound girl. The creepy looking girl clutching the strange toy. And the 'toy' he'd just seen yawn. As in actual fully blown yawn. As in 'holy mother of all things not drug fueled, that thing is alive' yawn.
It took him a few minutes to actually process what he'd just witnessed, his mind going over and over with various reasons why he had seen what he'd just seen. His mouth finally came to a conclusion for him. ".....That thing just yawned. As in its alive." Upon saying so, Jake took a step back and stared upwards, sighing shakily. "Okay...either I'm still asleep, I'm seeing and hearing things....or I've just came across what I can only guess is a mad scientists experiment escaped with the help of a cripple." He then brought his eyes back down towards the two girls and cocked a brow. "Or....is this something entirely different?" After a few more seconds, Jake's eyes flickered to his phone, unlocking the screen and bringing up the emergency services number. His finger hovered over the call button, just incase.

...You know what? It's more unsettling when someone who has been very very very expressionless suddenly become happy. Now Kon-chan has decided that this girl called Katsura Ise is seriously broken. Also, her digimon while a positive figure for her, also affected her negatively with that incessant praising and worship-ground-that-she-walked-on attitude. Honestly, one among the more unstable ones that she ever seen.
Koharu just laughed at Jake's little display of... well, reaction. She however attempted to calm him down with a wave of her hand. "Now now, that's where you're wrong. I'm not cripple per se, but juuuust something happened to my leg, alright? And secondly... I will be lying if I don't explain this, but I kiinda seen a bright light this direction, one that came from you... so I'm wondering what is it... because this river is not a normal river you see."
Still, Kon-chan doesn't buy that this guy won't call anyone. She immediately launches herself quite fast and took the phone from the young man's hand before returning to her partner. Meanwhile, Koharu has whipped out her digivice and looked at it. "...Hmmm, interesting, I guess it's still not activated yet? Or maybe I got the wrong target, oh dear~"
Warg just continued to yawn without any care in the world and just starts to knead the spot on Koharu's lap to make it comfier.
"Warg, get up a bit?" Koharu asked and poked his cheek. "I gotta do the explaining afterall."
"Awww, OK..." yep, the guy talked afterall.
Both the missile and the quadruped lizard separates themselves from Koharu before one turned into a S.W.A.T. themed lizard with futuristic rifle and another changed into... something like a bipedal puppy lizard. Kon-chan simply shut the phone down after cancelling the emergency call, then toss it back to Jake. "Don't do emergency call, it'll be treated as if you're a loon," she deadpanned. "We can just vanish in a second if so we want."

Katsura couldn't really care less if Jake was to call the cops, she had so many ways available to her to screw him over if he tried. For example just making a portal and disappear in the thin air nto the digital world or ask Nyao to make him ramble nonsense in the phone. Right now such extreme actions didn't seem necessary, rather Katsura just laughed off the notion that Warg yawned. "It's just a toy silly, you're just seeing things. What drugs are you still taking?" It was a verbal trap sat up by Katsura to lure Jake into admitting he did drugs. Well the need for it was short as both Koharu's digimon started digivoling a moment later.
"Katsura, cut the crap already. Someone already spilled the beans." Nyao sent a look to Koharu indicating that it was her and her digimon who couldn't keep a secret. Katsura took a look at the giant lizard, and then shrugged once she got the hint. "Oh well, it was worth a shot. I guess I should probably introduce you then. You see, Nyao is not just a toy, she is also alive and my best friend." Katsura gave Nyao another hug this time it was returned.

Jake haphazardly caught his phone as his eyes flickered between the toys that were VERY CLEARLY not toys now, the now standing girl from the wheelchair and he creepy girl, Ise, and her talking cat.
He took a step back, some light perspiration appearing on his forehead as his mind tried to take into account of what was happening. "Y-you just....they were....but....h-how...?" Jakes jaw hung loosely from his mouth before Koharu's question suddenly made itself known in his mind. Figuring hehad better atleast show SOME self control, he forced himself to relax and set his face back into its usual lazy and lax look. "I haven't seen a-anything bright or shiny at all. I mean, my phone will act up but...phones do that. And what do you mean this river isn't normal? I've been coming back and forth here for months and nothing strange has happened. Up until today, anyways..and to answer your question, Ise, is it?, I'm not on any damn drugs....that I know of.." He said as his eyes darted to the girl with the cat-monster-thing.
At that moment, the Samsung J3 in his hand beeped before the screen shone brightly. Jake, having not expected this, reacted appropriately. By dropping said phone and pointing to it. "See?! Like I said THAT happens! Its never been that bright though. You could spot that damn thing from orbit!"
Perhaps Jakes reaction was a little over reactive, but considering he was now in the company of monsters and two wierd girls, he didn't really give a damn.

"Yes, can you be even louder than now? Because clearly we haven't got the idea already that phones aren't supposed to do that," Kon-chan shot back. "Alright, first how about you take chill pill instead of any caffeine that clearly would agitate you further? Sit," the SWAT dragon pointed at one of the chair there "and we'll explain what's going to happen, but for now, let's just say you going to need a new phone."
Koharu tossed hers to Jake this time around. "Go on and call whoever you need to call saying that your phone is now... well, missing or broken or whatever... just in case. Because last time someone have their phone changed into Digivice in front of me is about a year ago. It wasn't pretty and they got into massive problem."
"But if you call something like police or anything remotely similar, we will just go away without giving you any explanation you later need, so if you decide to do that, go on ahead, but we'll not be happy about it for sure" the black lizard spoke. "Anyway," he clapped once. "Why don't we get back to pleasantries? I'm Warg, and that's my sister Kon-chan... Anego here is--I mean, this lady you insensitively called [Wheels]." he make air quote with his clawed paws (and his previously warm tone suddenly dropped into slightly dark and menacing for a few moment) "is our partner Nakano Koharu."
"Well, nice to meet you. Anyway, before we go on the details, just do whatever you need to do. It'll be infodump sooner or later."

Katsura did not change her reaction at the prospect of Jake calling the police. "You can call the police if you want. Come on, tell them that a little girl's plush is actually a talking cat. Or what about a talking toy who turned into a military dinosaur. It sounds logical, don't you think?" Katsura then made a girly giggle while Nyao pretended to be a plush again just to illustrate Katsura's point: A phone call would likely have Jake declared mentally insane rather than helping him. A scenario Katsura had strangely very little against. Being irrational and not quite sure if he was sober either weren't going to help his case.

Jake caught the girls, Koharu's, phone, looking around before sighing. He then dialed up his home phone number. After a few moments, the answering machine picked up. "Damn....hey mom. I'm...probably gonna be out for a while I uh...ran into some....new 'friends' and their going to help me out with something. I'm calling off one of their phones, because my phone kinda got crushed. Freak accident. My phone slipped out of my hand and a truck ran right over it. Nothing left to fix, ya know? Anyways, see ya soon." With that, he closed the call and tossed the phone her way.
He then looked across to the creepy kid, Ise, and shrugged. "There. No calls to the cops." His head then turned back to Koharu. "So, Nakano right? You gonna tell me why my phone lighting up like the christmas trees up in New York? And why you've both got monsters that belong in a manga or Super Sentai show?" He asked, his arms folded and a brow raised.
He obviously failed to notice his phone slowly began to morph, its shape constricting and expanding. It was over in an instant. Leaving a strange device sat on the ground where his phone once laid.
