A small sigh had escaped from a young woman's mouth as she sat outside of a small ice cream parlor in the middle of Shibuya. The heat outside was starting to get to her, and her slowly melting ice cream wasn't doing much against. Not that that seemed to be the only problem on her mind. A lot seems to have happened in a relatively short amount of time, and not all of it appeared to be good.
To her side was a boy who looked to be maybe ten years younger then her. Thick rimmed glasses covering his eyes as her nursed the chocolate ice creamed he had ordered and watched the crowd walk by. Only occasionally giving the woman besides him a glance to make sure that she was okay and the thoughts playing through her mind weren't bugging her to much.
Eventually he decided to put the cup down and looked at her intently. "Are you doing alright Megan?" He asked her through a series of practiced hand and body movements. Not a sound living his lips when he did so.
Megan just nodded in response for the time being. To deep in her own thoughts for the time being to have much to say on the subject herself.[/font]

Not far away a girl was wandering around, in her arms she was carrying Nyao the Blackgatomon. Ever since entering the digital world, the city has been of less significance for the girl. Nyao was sitting there acting like a plush toy, while Katsura went around holding her metal plate.
Occasionally Katsura stopped people to ask for money, so far so good. But then Katsura found a business who walked fast while talking in his phone. With a large smile Katsura held out her plate in front of the business man.
"A tip for the poor?"
Annoyed, the man looked down and left his phone.
"Can't you see, I'm in a middle of something? Leave me alone."
Suddenly, Nyao's eyes started to glow red and then it looked like she was talking. You couldn't make out what she said, but a short moment later, the man took out his wallet and placed a ¥10,000 note on her plate. Katsura took the banknote, stuffed it into her bag pack along with the plate and walked away. Once out of the man's sight, Katsura stopped having any facial expressions.

Kami raised an eyebrow when he saw the girl holding a black gatomon in her arms as if they were a stuff animal of some kind. It was admittedly not a completely uncommon method for new tamers to get around the city with their partner. He knew full well that Megan had to do so at least once or twice when they were first starting out. Yet it was still a risky one when it comes to those who could recognize such things.
He watched the two of them for some time with some interest from a short distance away as the tamer seemed to talked to a man. The words exchanged completely lost to the deaf turtle in disguise. Yet what he did notice was the Gatomon's eyes glowing red as it seemed to speak itself. The man soon putting some money into a plate that the girl was holding.
The whole exchanged had intrigued Kami. He admittedly had no way to be sure, but it did look quite like the tamer and her digimon had just used their powers to get some money from that guy. Something that Kami himself couldn't fully approve the use of. So he stood up with his ice cream still in his hand, and motioned for Megan to follow after him. Something that, while getting a raised eyebrow from the young woman, she did end up doing as he asked. Knowing full well that something must of caught her partners sharp eyes to get him to want to walk away like this.

It was true, Nyao's eyes really did have an effect on the man. Saying 'no' to the girl wasn't an option once Nyao came into the picture. Kami's plan to stalk Katsura wasn't going to show anything special: The next thing Katsura did was walking into a store to buy basic groceries for the bill, bread, water, soap etc. Every time Katsura was around people, she smiled cheerfully regardless of the situation. Every time she thought she was alone, she had an empty stare forward.
Maybe Katsura was content with just hustling one person for money.
After paying for the goods, Katsura left the store unaware that she was getting watched.

Kami kept a careful eye on the two as they went about their day. There didn't seem to be to much going on after they had 'convince' that man out of some of his money. Just grabbing the essentials from a local store. Normally Kami would have just left the two alone at this point. It didn't seem like they had any malicious intent right now. Yet something still disturbed the disguised digimon. And it had to do with how the tamer seemed to go from alive, to an emotionless husk depending on who is there.
Megan meanwhile wasn't quite sure why they were following the other tamer around. As far as she was aware, they seemed to just be another tamer and digimon in this city where such a fact isn't to uncommon if you know how to look. She glanced down at Kami after the two had finished their shopping before signing to him.
"Why are we following those two?"
To which Kami replied with, "I saw the Black Gatomon use her ability to deprive a man from some of his money earlier."
Upon hearing that, Megan frowned slightly as she looked after the two, before looking back down at her partner. "So what exactly do you think we should do about it. It doesn't look like they are having done anything else troublesome. And it's not like we're exactly able to report this type of stuff in anymore." She signed with a small sigh, "What exactly do you wish to do about this? I don't feel right following this girl about her day any further. It's not exactly how I planned to spend my day off today."
Kami had a look debating the fact for a while before looking back over at them. d"Well we can always try to confront the two of them about it. At least see if we can convince them that there are better ways to get some cash then by brainwashing random people on the street."
"And by us. You mean me." Megan then shook her head as she looked back over to where the tamer and partner were at. "Very well. I'll think of some way to try not to make this not as creepy as it seems then."
Megan then proceeded to step towards the other duo saying, "Excuse me. Miss." A hand in her pocket palming a coin as she approached.

An: 10K yen equals $90.55.
Katsura's emotions or lack thereof would soon prove to be the dominant one; while she smiled to others as before mentioned it was all just a front lasting as long as someone paid any attention to her. Now that nobody was paying much attention to her open finishing her routine and the shopping was over, Katsura just stopped showing emotion entirely.
That was, until she heard a female voice behind her calling out for her.
"Huh?" Katsura turned her head while smiling at Megan.

((Yep. I'm aware  )) Megan eyed the young teen for a quick second before looking down at the Black Gatomon that was being held in her arms. Thinking on her feet, she quickly said, "Sorry. I just had to say that your stuff animal looked so cute. Where in the world did you get something like that?" A genuine smile on her face as she tried to figure out how exactly she was going to proceed the conversation from here. |

Oh this girl just wanted to hear about Nyao? Well sure, after all this was only normal when you walked around with her all day. Of course to keep the digital world secret from whom she perceived wasn't a part of, she just kept up her act.
"Why thank you, Nyao is my favorite toy. One day I found her and took her home."
Katsura kept smiling while Nyao did her part pretending to be a plush.

Megan nods a little when the girl mentioned that she had just found her one day. The girls response was to be expected. It wasn't like she was going to reveal that her plush was a digimon to a complete stranger. So how exactly to tell the girl the truth without saying it outright in public?
"Heh. Yeah. I suppose that's how most of us end up getting one huh?" She said with a knowing smile as Kami watched the two talk. A slight frown on his face in that his partner isn't interpreting their conversation for him at this time.

Most of us? That was a weird thing to say, did everyone just happen to find toys laying around on the street? Unless, maybe just maybe this girl was a digimon? It was a long shot but not impossible, to test it out however. Katsura had to break character but it couldn't matter much when she has "earned" enough already.
Pretending that something urgent was showing up Katsura excused herself.
"Sorry, forgot to text home."
Katsura reached into her pocket and pulled out her digidevice and held it up, true to her alibi the first thing she did afterwards was pressing buttons on it. However, it wasn't random button-mashing, no Katsura was scanning Megan. No result? Oh well it was worth a shot.
Katsura then placed her "phone" back in the pocket. Now she just had to come up with a story justifying the phone, maybe it was a present hmm oh it probably was using calling cards that her revenue went to.

Megan bite her bottom lip when Katsura pulled out her own digivice, acting as if it was a phone. Perhaps she should of been a bit more blatant about who she is to the teen before her instead of playing coy. At very least it'll would make this whole thing a bit quicker. And it's not like she'd risk anything as long as she didn't make things to interesting to those who are randomly walking down the street.
"Sorry. I suppose I should stop worrying about the whole espionage route. Despite being fun, it'll honestly just end up with us talking in circles and getting nowhere." She said as she pulled out her own digivice from her pocket just enough for Katsura could see it. "And let's just be fair. I'm pretty horrible when it comes to that kind of stuff. Not even sure why I keep trying it. It's not like random passerby's are going to be paying all that much attention to random people talking on the street. Not without drawing to much attention to themselves." The young woman in yellow reasoned with a shrug, taking the time to quickly interpret what she said for Kami to understand after she had slyly put her digivice back into her pocket.
"Anyways I guess I should start off by at least introducing us. I'm Megan, and this here is my friend Kami." Kami gave the teen and her partner a small wave when he noticed Megan motion towards him.

The sight of the digidevice was enough for Katsura to realize that Megan was a tamer too.
"Ohhh" Katsura said with widened eyes as her brain got the message. Katsura stood there and listened, occasionally nodding to confirm that she was paying attention to Megan. Oh? So now it was the time for introducing. Katsura did a standard introduction bow.
"I'm Ise Katsura, you have already met Nyao. It's an honor to meet you!"

((Sorry about the week wait there >.< Things got pretty busy for me there.))
Megan nods her head in recognition once she had received the tamer and her partners name. Taking a moment to make sure that she passed such information down to the deaf disguised turtle that was her own partner with a few hand movements before turning her full attention completely back towards Katsura.
"Well it's good to officially meet you too." She said with a smile as she took a second to collect her thoughts. "Now. In the interest of fully disclosure. I believe you should know that we didn't come by to talk just because you have a digimon." She then began, "My partner here says that he saw your partner hypnotize a man earlier today to convince him to give you two some money. Is that true?"

Megan's words didn't have much impact on Katsura's facial expression, if any at all as she just kept up her smiling. Katsura lifted her shoulders in a shrug.
"You call it money, I call it dinner. You're not going to tell my partner that she can't have dinner?" Katsura asked cheerfully. This was a loaded question with double negatives, it didn't matter if Megan said yes or no since both answers could be turned into a confession, even then to Katsura the need of her partner seemed to outweigh the need of the man. What a strange girl.
