Don't get mud in my coffee...(open)

"The answering machine instead that you reached, huh?" Koharu asked. "Oh well, no need to worry! I mean, it's not like you're going to have harder time than now. Anyway, before anything else... why don't you pick that?" she pointed at the phone now Digivice. "It might be a bit of a stretch, but let's say that it's your lifeline from now on, shall we~?"
A bit too cheerful for something quite morbid of a statement, but then again, Koharu is a bit strange too. "Jokes aside," her expression now turned neutral. "Welcome, you're one of us now... kinda." She pulled out her Digivice again. Yes, it's slightly more detailed than the standard version.
"This is the proof that you're digital world related... and partnered to one of these denizen of other world, Digimons. Have you ever read any Isekai genre light novels or manga? Practically, we're embodiment of that trope, you see... Think that the world where they live as another world, made of our data. Computer data that is. However, they're as sentient as us. As of why, don't ask me. I mean, none of us ever met with the so called god of digital world."
"Neither have we," Kon-chan added. "So yeah, nobody know why the heck we're partnered. All we care however is honestly just adventure, at least for two of us. Anyway, any question so far?"

The phone call ended as Katsura had expected, this was how Katsura survived and how she kept the digital world secret. "Good boy" Katsura remarked once Jake closed the call, the tone was nearly indistinguishable from being a dog owner complimenting their pet for good behavior. Him asking about anime analogies went completely over her head because staring at his phone transforming into a digidevice was a way more interesting activity than being social with the boy.
Fortunately for Katsura's lowered attention span, Koharu changed the subject to the digidevice and Jake now becoming a digidestinied. "Welcome, you're one of us now... kinda."
Katsura picked up her own digidevice and excitedly showed it. "A tamer, you're going to become just like me!" Katsura said in a likely misguided attempt to hype up Jake. This was noticed by Nyao. "You could have worded that so much better" Nyao snarked with a deadpan facial expression. "What do you mean?" "Nothing."
Sensing that Katsura had messed up, she just allowed Koharu to speak unhindered, occasionally nodding and saying the sound "ohm" repeatedly to let everyone know that she's paying attention.

Jake looked over to Ise with a raised brow and a visable vein tick on his forehead. Did she just make fun of him? Granted, he certainly still didn't feel like he knew what was going on. Even with Nakano and her....partners? Giving him a run down of what was apparently a world of living, breathing and sentient computer programs. He was gonna need a lot more coffee. To say he felt no hype for being a 'Tamer' was an understatement. Probably much to Ise's dismay. Or not. The girl was creepy beyond hell.
Reaching down, Jake picked up the 'digivice' from the ground and looked it over. He sighed before slowly rising up from the ground. "Questions......how about, what the heck does being a tamer even mean? Do I get any benefits from that? Lemme guess....I get to pick out my own little monster?" Many more questions floated through his head as he walked back to his forgotten about sling bag. He placed it back around his shoulder, shaking his head. Jake then grabbed his coffee, suprisingly still warm, and took a long swig. He was gonna need so much coffee.
He probably never noticed the soda can dispenser surfacing from the murky waters. Its dispensing part opening up.

"Ah," Koharu suddenly interrupted, her voice lowered down nearly two octaves. "I'll tell you right now. Abandon that term right away," her playful tone from before sounds like a lie as she stared icily at the group. It's not just a normal icy glare like someone saw something absolutely disgusting, but almost like a dragon trying to shut lower creature. This glare enough to make Warg shudder. He wanted to say it himself, but he never thought that his partner immediately said that.
"I don't know who invented that term, but it's possible that it was meant to be derogatory. It's a term that perhaps first used by the independent digimons to refer the partnered digimon... the tamed and the tamer, you see? And the partnered Digimon usually hate that term, because it sounded as if they're feral and need to be controlled. Guess what, they're not. I don't blame Japanese honestly. They probably just think that the term sounds cool, but for someone who knows the term, it's not even funny. It's disgusting at best.
That's why, I suggest immediately abandon that. Human's image in Digital World isn't exactly positive. Hell, there are even Digimons that actively trying to eliminate human in fear that they bring instability to the Digital World. Likewise, our government also seem doesn't think kindly of us kids given the so called" Koharu made air quote "nuclear lunch button. I'd like to say I'm joking, but I'm totally not. Hence, let's just say that the relationship of both world is quite strained, yes?"
Now that she said her point, she suddenly looked cheerful again. "Ah, the benefit you ask? Well... anti boredom I guess? There are lot of things going on when you're with Digimon. You can have your adventure and you can help your Digimon grows as they help you to grow. It's pretty much like an entirely new horizon! And no, sadly, you don't get to pick your partner. This is not Pokemon, you know?"

Oh, so that's what Katsura did wrong. Apparently you're not supposed to call someone with a digimon a tamer. This was visibility an eye opener for the girl. "Oooh" Katsura said, reacting like she had just discovered the secrets of the universe. For all Katsura's expressions, her initial emotionless self was her only true so far. The behavior so far was more or less just parroted reactions with little to no depth behind. It was the equivalent to laughing at jokes spoken in language you didn't understand just to fit in. The other half of Koharu's lecture left Katsura staring at Koharu perplexed: Why would a digimon ever want to eliminate a human? Most digimon are so much nicer than... Oh sorry Nyao, old habit." Nyao was curiously silent to that question, shifting her pupils around. Maybe she could come up with some examples? The other comment about nuclear on the other hand? "Meh"

"Hm..." Jake seemed lost in his thoughts as he turned back to face the two girls and their digimon, throwing his ever cooling coffee cup out towards the river, hearing it bounce off of something. "Okay....I think I've got a handle on the situation now. Just...just for my own sake of mind....Digimon, walking, talking, living computer programs with the capabilities to cause possible nuclear damage. And it falls to a bunch of, from what I can guess, teenagers, kids and maybe other more mature members of society to just....not antagonise either side. That right?" He asked with a raised brow.
He turned away once more before running a hand down his face. "Jake Jones-Akamine, what the fuuuuck have you gotten yourself into now?.."
At that moment, the vending machine floating around in the murky waters seemed to move across the waters towards the banking at s fairly quick speed. This drew Jake's and maybe the rest's attention as it hit the banking and toppled over. Time seemed to slow at that moment.
The look on Jakes face was probably priceless to all onlookers. The broken and smashed front seemed terrifying to the young man.
A bright flash appeared just as Jakes girly scream sounded out, his body dissapearing under the machine. If one looked, they'd still notice the slight glow of otherworldly light from underneath. Along with a slight shout of 'What the fuuuuuuuu----......'

"That pretty much sums most of it,"Koharu nodded. "However, you see... I don't understand why the Digital World often chooses younger member of the society. I mean, it almost like it got some quite liking toward the young ones. Oh, and apparently it also likes a lot of people with tragic background. To torture them further maybe?" What she talked sounds as if she's poking fun at something, but at the same time, it also sounds a bit self derisive.
As much as Koharu wanted to explain more, there's... this strange happenstance where the vending machine seem to be alive. Kon-chan about to pull her gun, but it's too late as the boy let out a girly shriek (that if Koharu is in less of a shocking situation would be so funny and would send her rolling on the ground laughing) and vanished without trace. The girl made a small dismayed expression.
"Oh dear, there goes all the explanation. I hope he can make do with what just explained to him, but I doubt it somehow, hmmhmm..."
"Following him might be a chore," Warg said. "but I'm tempted to slap him still. What with that rude remark about being crippled?"
"Now now, Warg, don't need to be so heated. Why don't we continue our business along? We're going to meet Rincchi right?" and so the girl starts wheeling her wheelchair out of the place.
"...Why would you give nickname to everything?" Kon-chan commented, before looking at Katsura and her partner.
"...A fair advice," she suddenly said. "Stop babying your partner and putting her on pedestal. She won't grow at all."
The two somehow now gone from sight, so fast, so out of place, yet at the same time quite fitting.
