OOC: This is the party thread I promised earlier~ So yeah, you can post in any order and post whenever. The only rules are, don't double-post (even between 2 of your own characters), and if you have 2 or more of your own characters interacting with each other, please post with the character that's got the most POV. It's meant as just a thing to have fun with, whether you're fast or slow to post. Also please, no hostile characters that want to make trouble.
It was kind of an odd feeling, celebrating her 18th birthday in another world. This was meant to be the day that she grew from a girl to a woman. But, she supposed, she was a part of this world now. As the leader of AEGIS, and sister to a younger brother whose prowess with digimon far exceeded her own, well, she supposed she might as well get used to things this way.
And while Colin's 14th birthday had already passed, well, he hadn't really celebrated it with his digital world friends so far, he kind of wanted to join in for the occasion. And Sophie was happy to share that. She didn't expect much to show up just for her, but, maybe if the combined friends and acquaintances they knew showed up, maybe that would make a better outcome?
The party would take place in a hired party room in a reputable pub in Terminus. Colin had initially suggested they hold the party in Daedalus's cabin for the extra privacy, but thankfully the more level-headed Luke had shot this idea down, saying that some of their friends might not like having a party in the sky. And besides, the James family was on the up and up in the digital world, they didn't want to hold such an event as exclusive thing for a select few that they would trust on the airship digimon.
And so they would hold the party on the ground. Drinks were plentiful, although most were of the non-alcoholic variety. The alcoholic ones meanwhile were light and one would have to drink a full bowl of punch to get truly drunk.
The party room was spatious, about the size of a gym hall at a high school. Party lights were everywhere, and the music was provided by a certain boombox that had transcended time and space to reach here now. Not so loud that it would make it impossible to speak, but, loud enough to be heard throughout the venue.
"Well... let's see who shows up then" Sophie said to those present. For the moment it was just her, Colin and their partners, Lantis (in his Leomon form), Luke and Bellamy (in their Elecmon and Impmon forms). Sophie was wearing an elegant party dress, while Colin had a neat shirt and cargo pants. Lantis meanwhile was wearing a vest, shirt and red tie as well as his normal leather pants, while Luke and Bellamy were wearing matching white shirts, their scarves skillfully turned into red and blue bowties.
Sophie's eyes lingered on her brother. Somehow, the events of the digital world had made him look more battle-worn, aged, with his eyes gaining a red tint. Thankfully their parents hadn't noticed yet, probably because he hid it well back on Earth. But surely they would have noticed that his change of hairstyle and his growth spurt were more than what boys his age normally went through. Luke and Bellamy were showing their changes too, but it was less obvious in their current attire, other than the purple on the back of Luke's head and the white on Bellamy on his... where a decent person might wear pants.
"I don't think it'll be too bad" Colin said, grinning. "There's loads of people around the digital world nowadays, and solo digimon that want to help us out. Besides, me and these boys can probably handle any troublesome party crashers".
"Well, you're the Super Mega..." Sophie chuckled. "Well, I suppose now that we're here, I'd better give you your present".
Sophie presented her brother with a small parcel. Colin opened it curiously, and eventually unwrapped a set of cards.
"You use those with your digivice, right?" she asked him. "Well, hope they might work".
"Wow, thanks, Soph" Colin said, delighted, adding the new cards to the deck that he wore on his belt. "And, well, here's something from me" he handed her a much smaller gift. "I know it's probably not as functionally useful as these, but, you're the leader of AEGIS, right, you should get something to show it"
Sophie unwrapped the gift to find a small velvet box. She gasped, this normally meant something in the ways of jewellery, which she loved. She opened it and saw a beautiful little pendant, gold plated, representing a shield. Across it the letters A.E.G.I.S were etched in beautiful writing.
"Oh my god, Colin, thank you!" she said, and the two siblings embraced. Sophie noted that Colin was growing almost as tall as her now. Soon she'd probably have to look up to him. That was okay though, boys in the James family were often tall when they became men.
Well then, with that exchange done, they waited for further guests to arrive.

Only days after the little incident with Owen which thankfully had found a peaceful end, the digimon that chose to appear in her rookie form arrived at the big, noble pub in the higher areas of Terminus. She had honestly been surprised to receive an invitation from Colin to his 14th birthday, but she was most delighted to follow it. Perhaps, in their brief time, she had seeded a blossom of friendship that now had the chance to bloom. Not just being a fine distraction to deflect from the recent days, she was looking forward to seeing them again and enjoy an evening of fair fun. Would she tell them her desire to join P.R.O.F.I.T today? Perhaps, but that had time. However, this was not only the birthday of Colin, but also that of his older sister Sophie. Cion had never met her before, but without a doubt she knew about them. Somewhat knowing John Davis and Satoshi from her mission in the formerly corrupted woods, she had learned about the team called AEGIS, which strove to assure peace between digimons and humans on Earth. A noble goal indeed, of which, amazingly so, Sophie was the headman. It seemed the James were a family of ambitions family; an admirable quality. For this occasion, as it was her first birthday party ever and Colin was without a doubt a rich kid, she had allowed herself something luxurious for once. A small, gracile vulpine frame was graced by a dress that curved around her body perfectly. With many unobtrusive flower patterns, the periwinkle dress was not forged out of a single piece of cloth, instead being braided like a fine net. Towards her bottom, a sky blue skit that shifted to an alice blue towards the bottom covered her hip and left leg. She hoped The Dress was just the right combination of elegance and modesty for everyone's liking. Naturally, the green scarf remained tied around her neck. Since knocking was futile as the music inside was too loud, she simply entered the building and went straight for the big party room of this fine establishment. It was there she saw the WIPs of this party, most of them dressed properly for this fine event, and she could not help herself but squee a little from sheer delight. Luke and Bellamy were looking fantastic, and it was without a doubt a view she would forever cherish. The Leomon she did not know but was like Miss. James partner was dressed properly as well, and the leader of AEGIS herself was bearing a dress equally as beautiful as Cion's. It seemed the two humans had already exchanged gifts, so she did not hesitate long before approaching the small group, a happy skip in every step of hers. She had not brought a present with her, and Colin, Luke and Bellamy knew exactly why that was the case. But that was a topic for a later time of the day; when everyone was there. Coming to a halt in front of them, the sunshiny digimon's ears flicked cutely, giving the boys a warm smile. "I'm so happy to see you again. Been way too long! Gosh, you three have gotten brawny; I like it. How's Daedalus doing?" She spoke before somewhat hastily grabbing Colin's hard hand with both of her small paws, shaking it wildly yet not violently. "Happy After-Birthday! Dunno why humans celebrate it, but the more happiness the better." She congratulated him despite having no real clue why exactly. Sure she understood what a birthday for humans was, but the reason why exactly they celebrate it was a bit beyond her digital mind. Not that it mattered! Immediately shifting to the fine Sophie, who was visibly older than Colin, her attitude shifted immediately as she took 2 steps to her. With her left arm behind her back, she closed her eyes and bowed to her like a proper lady should, showing respect and gratitude that way. Her voice turned soft and eloquent as her golden eyes met those of Sophie. "A pleasure to meet you, Miss James. I am Cion. Thank you for letting Colin invite me. I've already heard many positive things about you. You are the leader of AEGIS, correct? An admirable cause you pursue, and I wish you the best of success. I have once worked together with John and Satoshi of your organization; fine men indeed." She made acquaintance with Sophie and of course her partner, reaching out one of her paws to shake it. A sign of peace and trust was always a good start for a relationship.

Invitation, yes, that was why she's coming... and at the same time, she's here to represent most of her friends, because they're unable to attend... hmmm, what was their excuses again? Yuuki was... training for biomerge, is it? Then Ryouta got some urgent mission, most likely something related to the 'usual' other side of his work... and then Karin... Karin had to deal with something, she won't tell. As for her, she's the only one who's not busy at all. She walked toward the venue with Warg and Kon-chan on tow... As it currently stand, Warg is pushing her wheelchair while Kon-chan on guard, both on their ultimate stage, Chaos Dukemon and Darkdramon respectively. Just for this time, the girl is wearing formal dress, a long one that covers her arms and legs, with two colors. The outer layer is dark green and underneath is even darker shade of marine. Her back is exposed... or semi exposed at least. So is her shoulders. Her metal covered leg now adorned with some accessories just to cover how strange it would look. Even if she's in this state, as much as possible, she want people to understand that this is not really a concern for her.
"...I felt like I ever heard that dastardly boombox somewhere... somewhere in an island, far far away..." suddenly Kon-chan commented.
"Bahahaha, no way it's that boombox. It won't let out any indecent song anyway! ...Wait, what am I talking about?"
...But even so, when Warg said that, he's not even sure himself that it won't play any crazy songs.
That's when they finally arrived, trying to spot the member who's under them. They rarely met Colin after the inn and the time where Kon-chan figuratively roasts two baby digimons and their last meeting was... how to say, it was not extremely professional, but Koharu was forced to play her 'professional' face. It's more to Kon-chan than her though, but whatever the case was, she was hoping to remedy it here.
"Allu Cols! And Bells and Lukey too of course!" the older girl waved her hand the moment she spotted the siblings. "Looks like I'm not the first one here, but that's fine. Sorry, but the rest of my gang is busy... Yuuki tried to haste his recovery... Ryouta... well, mission, I had no idea you knew Karin, though, but she's apparently trying to cope up with something... I don't really get the detail, but that's rare of her..."
She then clapped once and smiled. "Well, either way, happy birthday for you and your sister... First, the gift before introduction... here's from Hikaru..."
Koharu gave Colin what looked like a CD. The cover is Hikaru playing bagpipe. "...and from Yuuki... he had no idea what you're interested in, so he just gave you each matching accessories, some necklace... and this is from Ryouta and Ryu..." she looked at Warg who put a cake on an empty table. Said cake depicted railroad plains with icing sculpture of what looked like Colin, Bellamy and Luke having an adventure. "...and this is from Karin and Jeanne..." she gave him another CD and bucket of rose. "....and finally, from us... well, this is a strange thing to give, but have it anyway," she took out a special coupon for her inn. "...Sounds like a cheap promotion, but this one is slightly different because it's on a villa type room instead. Try it out if you like, privacy definitely guaranteed. That aside..."
She took out a name card and gave it to Sophie. Of course there is the same voucher for the villa type room along with it too"... Ahem, hello, name's Nakano Koharu, PROFIT subleader... the leader is unfortunately away... don't ask me why, and I'm currently taking direct control. Nice to meet you, Sophie James of AEGIS."
"...Once a merchant always a merchant," Kon-chan muttered, slightly dismayed. She looked at Colin and her twins before smiling slightly. "...It's nothing much, but figured that you guys would fancy something like this... it can't be used for D-Arc, but here..." she handed a card that depicted the trio together in their currently highest form. "Think it as something from me and Warg, it's his idea."

In the human world, Alexis was asked by Alexandra to go towards an unknown party, it was a little odd but well, giving that she didn't question him Alexis did say she would go, she wished to get a gift for them both but it was a birthday party you couldn't have her feeling too shocked. She was ready wearing a long pink dress, maybe it was overboard, but being rich did come with that. Then Alexandra entered inside dress in a royal suit. "Alexis we better be going, you shouldn't be embarrassed, you look beautiful." She looked down, blushing. "But we don't know the people we are going to see, it's a little odd we are entering dressed like this, don't you think we should dress more social?" He would kiss Alexis, looking into her eye's. "The person we are going to see look after the digital world it's only right to show how thankful we are, and we should go the way we would dress for most parties. Money does give us more and we shouldn't show it off for the wrong reasons, but we shouldn't hide it." It was true what he said, but he thought the better shouldn't hide, and the only reason he wished to go because, well get close to one's enemies, if he knew what to watch out for then he would be safe from harm. As they were on the train, he would go towards the room the party was, entering the moment they did many people looked at them for a moment Alexis blushed, she knew they would make a scene. They walked over towards the birthday girl, and her little brother when they were together, but followed by Hackmon who was Alexis Digimon, and Zubamon who was Alexandra's. "Hello miss, it's a pleasure to meet you, I have heard a lot about A.E.G.I.S. Sorry to drop in like this, but I wished to say my thanks, and wish you and your brother a happy birthday." That was a lie, but he was cunning. Alexis would smile. "Sorry if it was rude of us." She did feel like this was odd, but this whole digital world was. "I'm sorry we didn't bring any gift, but I think it could make you feel a little shocked if we got you something that cost too much from people you don't know." She would say with a smile. "I hope we didn't intrude." Alexandra would say holding onto Alexis. Alexis Alexandra

Normally going to the Digital World meant getting into some shenanigans, but this time is different. Dante, Judith and the King of Sting Wormmon have arrived at Sophie and Colin's birthday party. Dante's long blonde hair has been cut, leaving his bangs at eyebrow level. He's wearing a silver designer jacket with a black button up shirt with black slacks. Judith is wearing her blonde hair up in a bun with a single white rose. She is wearing an elegant yellow dress with gold trim. The slit on the side goes a little too far up to be appropriate for a birthday party. Judith has matching gold bracelets on her wrists and lavishing gold necklaces with a heart shaped crest. Wormmon has a little black jacket with a black bow tie, and a pair of Shirou's glasses on to make him look more professional.
The trio enters the pub and looks around for people that they recognize. There's some music playing, plenty of beverages, and more guests are continuing to arrive. "Oh yeah, you guys. This party is the place to be! Just for today, you can call me the Party King." "That's not going to happen. Now where are the birthday boy and girl at?" Dante hasn't met Colin or Sophie yet, but he heard about them through Yuuki. "Are you sure that they will like our gifts? It's hard enough buying something great, but when it's for someone you don't know..." "I'm sure that they will love what we got them. Remember, I'm a lot better at planning these kind of things. All you do is sit around and play video games." "That's besides the point."
The trio walks over and grabs something to drink. Dante takes a sip from a cup of cherry flavored soda. "Do you recognize anyone yet? Why don't you go talk to Sophie?" "No, that would be rude. We should wait until someone comes to us." "That's no way to be social. Get over there and introduce yourself." "Ya! Don't be such a donkey brain." The truth is, Dante didn't feel comfortable walking up when they didn't even know Sophie or Colin. "Let's wait a bit first." "Well I wanna hit the dance floor. After I get something to eat."
It was amazing. There are so many Tamers and Digimon here that Dante has never run into before. Even some very lovely looking young women. "Now don't start hitting on girls, Dante. We're here to mingle, not get kicked out." "Same goes to you." Judith's previous affection towards a certain someone was not returned, and Dante hopes she's got that out of her system. Wormmon grabs some mini sandwiches and chocolate candy, then crawls up and sits on Dante's shoulder. "Nom nom nom! Hmm, yeeeeeees... What a fabulous party here. Afterwards I might go do math stuff and play chess with gorillas." "Just because you've got the glasses doesn't make you smart like Shirou."

Post by Colin, Luke & Bellamy on Aug 27, 2017 6:54:37 GMT
Ah, it seemed that the first guests were arriving. Colin grinned as he saw who it was. As did Luke and Bellamy. Cion the Arnamon was of course one of their friends.
"Hiya!" Colin said cheerfully. "Heh, yeah I guess we've grown a bit. Daedalus is doing great. He says he might evolve again soon". He chuckled at her statement. "Yeah, we humans grow pretty slowly I guess, so that's why we take birthdays so seriously" he said.
Sophie and Lantis meanwhile were hovering with hesitant expressions. Colin supposed he'd best introduce them.
"Cion this is my elder sister Sophie" he said. "Sophie, this is Cion, she's a friend of ours that we met on our journeys".
"Hello, nice to meet you" Sophie said, holding out a hand to gently shake her paw. Immediately Sophie was taken away by how polite and graceful Cion was. So, Cion had heard of AEGIS? That was fantastic. Sophie's face broke out into a smile. "That's wonderful to hear. I'm happy that John and Satoshi made good impressions on you".
Then the next guests approached. Colin was somewhat surprised to see Koharu being pushed forward in a wheelchair, but at least Kon-chan and Warg were there.
"Hey Koharu, glad you could make it" he said, pleased to see her. And he wasted no time in introducing her to his sister. "Sophie, this is Koharu, my superior at PROFIT. And Koharu, this is my sister Sophie".
So the rest of the gang was busy? "Ah, that's alright, I'm glad they send their regards" Colin said, smiling.
The gifts were of course delightful. Bellamy snickered as he saw Hikaru's bagpipe CD. Sophie appreciated the necklace from Yuuki, as did Colin, and all of them looked impressed at the cake that Ryouta and Ryu had made.
"These are fantastic, thanks so much" Colin said, his partners echoing the sentiment. Then Koharu gave them a voucher for the private villa suite at her inn.
"Well I wonder how to put this to good use?" Bellamy asked, grinning. Lastly, there was Kon-chan and Warg's gift, which was a card depicting BlackJupitermon. "Heh, this is awesome, thanks" Bellamy said.
Sophie meanwhile accepted the card from Koharu. "I see, thank you" she said, giving a polite bow. "I've been meaning to talk to a leader at PROFIT actually, do you think we could have a chat later, maybe?" Sophie would like to formally have good relations between AEGIS and PROFIT, since her brother was a part of the other organization, and until AEGIS found its own feet in terms of power, she hoped that they could assist when the limited resources of AEGIS couldn't contain the threats that could be out there.
Luke meanwhile spoke to Cion. "Hey, uh, I was wondering, uh, I know you're a guest here so it's entirely up to you if you want to do it or not, but, we'd be honored if you could play your ocarina for a few songs later on?" the Elecmon asked, shyly. He remembered hearing her play when Colin was teaching him and Bellamy how to swim, and he thought it would be wonderful to hear again tonight.
The next to arrive were guests that neither Sophie or Colin knew. They were humans dressed up in very elegant clothes, so elegant they looked a little like royalty. They also had Zubamon and Hackmon partners. Colin was a little unsure of how to approach them, but Sophie handled things the moment AEGIS was mentioned.
"Oh, no, that's alright, it's a pleasure to meet you" Sophie said, somewhat starstruck that people like this seemed to enter. At first she wondered how exactly they knew it was her birthday, but, then again, it was an 18th birthday bash, and she had been trying to spread AEGIS's reputation throughout the digital world and the digimon community in Shibuya. Perhaps this was something that would have happened in the process?
"That's fine, the thought is appreciated regardless" Sophie said, thinking it would be a little odd to receive gifts from individuals she didn't know. Especially with all the dangerous artifacts that existed around the digital world. "If you wouldn't mind though, I'd be happy to have a conversation with you later, maybe? Just to get to know you of course".
Feeling like a bit like a third wheel, Colin gave a smile at Koharu. "I might speak to a few more guests, then we can have a chat maybe?" he asked. He then walked over to the latest arrivals. Two humans and a Wormmon seem to have arrived. However, Colin may have heard of them from Yuuki.
"Hello, nice to meet you" Colin said as he approached. "Er... Dante, is it?" he asked, a little unsurely.

Cion could not feel happier about the warm welcome she received from her three dear friends, even if it had been so many weeks that they had not met each other. Naturally, she was also here because Colin finally found a way for her to properly repay the favors she owed them, and she was most happy to oblige. Once everyone arrived and they got a guiet moment, she and the others would give Sophie a present she would hopefully never forgot. She had taken many hours to prepare it, so the last thing she wanted was to be her and the two rascal's effort to be in vain.
But that was for a later time during this evening. Nodding several times, glad to hear that everything seemed fine, she happily followed the young lad to Sophie to get acquainted with the guest of honor. If they were going to celebrate birthday because humans grew slowly, then that was sufficient enough reason for her to join in with the fun. Besides, it was an excellent opportunity to meet both the family of Colin and the leader of AEGIS at the same time. Being acquainted with people in high ranks never hurt.
Gladly shaking the hand of Sophie, she immediately understood how she functioned inside. Despite being dressed like a fair maiden, she had a casual attitude to her akin to Colin. She was not much for overexagurated manners, but still appreciated the way the Arnamon carried herself. A little more relaxation in her body language and she would make an optimal impression on her, and hopefully her digi-partner as well. "They were excellent partners to work with, as were their digimons. We cleansed that forest in no-time... if they told you about that occurence." She continued to compliment the members of her team, wondering if they had mentioned her to Sophie already. If yes... that would be excellent.
Smiling back at her, Cion was quick to take a couple of stecks away from the WIPs so others could have their good time with them as well. Although mostly appearing distracted by the loud music, colorful decoration and delicious looking food, she was actually careful to catch as many words and impressions from the others guests as possible. If they were familiar with Colin and Sophie, one way or the other, then making as many friends as possible here was an opportunity that musn't be forfeit.
Of especial interest was a person named Koharu, who was the secondary leader of P.R.O.F.I.T. and hence superior to Colin. "Oh...?" She gasped quietly. Strange that such young humans were leaders of such renowned organizations, but then again she appreciated young beings with ambitions, especially if they contributed to a better civilization. And it seemed the main leader was currently off to his / her own shtick, which left Nakano in charge. Eeyup... she was definetly glad that she had accepted the invitation of Colin. This was going to be a marvelous day.
Clearing her throat, she unheedingly approached Luke from behind, nudging his shoulder and whispering into his ear while Sophie was distracted. "Everything's prepared?" She asked the fine-looking Elecmon, who hopefully remembered what she was talking about. Without him organizing additional instruments and... practicing 4 notes on a piano, the result of their little surprise might be less stellar. But he was rich and dutyful, although a bit cocky, so she was confident everything would go according to plan.

"Ah right," Koharu patted Colin's back as he accepted the presents. "...For love that all is holy, DO NOT play track 44, you get it? You know Hikaru, track 44 is... that, you know, that. If you don't want your guests to lost their appetite or scared shitless, don't play that one."
To Bellamy's question, Warg answered it "Well, for once, how about you invite that hotstuff of yours there? There's also.. you know, room for," he made air quote "privacy, and totally soundproof there..."
"I can't believe you, honestly," Kon-chan muttered, about to smack her brother, but stopped at the last moment. "...Well, this is their special day, let them have their moment."
To Sophie who seem to be happy and interested in relationship between group, Koharu nodded. "Obviously we can talk. I myself don't mind to talk anytime, but I think talking about relationship and business would be boorish in this time, especially with the guests that came for you. So maybe we can talk next time? Or if you think you wish to talk as soon as possible, that is fine too. Whichever suits you the best."
Still, the moment she done talking, two... unknown people appeared. If she were to describe it, they reeked money. However, for some reason, she's not interested at the moment to give them any sort of run down in what her business do. She looked around and found a curious Digimon who seem to came here alone... nice dress though. Koharu stood up from her wheelchair and took out her walking stick from its holder. She looked at two of her partner who put the wheelchair on the corner so nobody accidentally tripped on it.
"Now now, Cols, it's true that in some party, you should attend to your boss, and that's kinda how Japanese do it, but you know that I'm not like that, right?" Koharu told him, then slapped his back. "Go have fun, ya heard? This is your party too afterall! Though if you want to talk to Haruchin, you're fine to do so anytime," Koharu gave a friendly wink.
"I'll be over there for a bit, OK?" she pointed at a chair and table.
Another one came... and this one is rather rowdy. Colin gone there, and Koharu felt there is no reason for her to crowd over the guy, so she decided to just wait until someone approached her or more people came. For now, well...
"Let's enjoy a bit of drink, shall we?" she took one glass of the alcoholic one. Underage? Well, physically yes, but she have been locked in Digital World for seven years, so mentally she should be twenty three, right, right?
She slowly sipped the beverage and seem to enjoying herself as her partners just sighed.

Apparently, there were several members of AEGIS and PROFIT at this celebration. Dante had only heard of these organizations through the grapevine, and never seen them in action before. Wormmon was right, this was the place to be. Surprisingly enough, Dante's strategy of "Don't Talk, Wait" actually payed off, as the birthday boy no less came over to greet the Palladino family.
Dante bows politely to Colin. "We are pleased to meet you, Colin. Yes, I am Dante, and this is my lovely sister Judith, and the alleged Worm King, Wormmon." "You're not doing it right, Dante! It's Super Ultimate Worm King, God of Destruction..." Wormmon goes on rattling off nicknames he made up for himself. "...Dr. Wormmon." "So you're a doctor now?" "Yes. No wait! Professor. Which one sounds smarter?" "You know, little buddy, sometimes it's better to remain silent and look like a fool, than it is to speak and remove all doubt." "Huh?"
Judith hands Dante a green gift bag to give to Colin. "I know we are aren't friends, but when I heard about the party we just had to come. So we got you this." "Happy Birthday Colin!" Dante hands Colin the gift bag. Inside is a George Foreman grill and a receipt for some bacon down at the local market back in the Human World. "We weren't sure whether it was appropriate to bring wine, but it's a family tradition!" Judith pulls two bottles of wine out of a bag and sets them down on the table. One is from Italy, and the other from France.
Dante hopes Colin will like the gift. It would be great for when out in the Digital World, if you could somehow get an outlet, and if it would even work at all in this world. Still, in a few years it might come in use as Colin prepares his own meals. A practical, but tasty gift. Judith is also holding a yellow gift bag for Sophie. Judith picked out all sorts of makeup and body lotions. Things Dante doesn't know anything about. With so many people attending the party, it was surely going to be a blast. There was still so many people to talk to, and by the sounds of it there will be entertainment later.

Alexander would leave after he listens to the girl speak ready to go with Alexis. "If you like, It would be my pleasure to speak to you about it." He would say having a smile. He and Alexis would make their way, allowing her to speak with everyone else. It was many people that came to the party, this girl must have a lot of friends, did she know them all, or were they just random people that could enter and leave the Digital World? Well, it didn't matter, because that is what Alexis and Alexander where right now, as she when over to an area that not many people were in.
As they where Alexander would walk around the room, but nobody could speak with him, he would just be seeing if it was any other people from this girls group here. "Alexis, you can stay here for now. I just wish to look around on my own for a little bit." She would blink it was because of him she was here. "Okay, I'm sure it's important, but please don't take too long." With that, he was gone, with Alexis standing on her own ready to talk with others.

Sophie acknowledged Cion's words. "Yeah, they mentioned it to me over the D-Terminal, although we haven't had the chance for a formal debriefing yet. If they arrive here tonight, hopefully we'll be able to get around to that".
"Not during the party though, heh heh" Lantis chuckled, the Leomon holding a cup of punch. He took a sip, licking his lips, already beginning to mellow out.
Luke meanwhile turned to look at Cion, giving a wink. "Yep, we've arranged a few more instruments. I'll be playing guitar and singing sometimes, although Bellamy's better at that than I am..." he glanced at his Impmon brother, currently standing by Colin. "That is if he stops putting jokes into the lyrics, but eh..." he shook his head, chuckling. "Anyway, Bellamy's on vocals, and if nothing else, we've come across a nice Veemon and Guilmon pair of twins that can play keyboard and drums, although I don't think they've arrived yet".
Luke had hoped Mitsuko might be here to play piano, but if she was busy then that was fine. With five digimon playing on the stage, that would make an excellent opportunity for music. Hopefully that would make Colin and Sophie happy. While he was talking to Cion, he had an idea.
"Say, Cion, are you interested in joining PROFIT?" he asked her. He was unsure if he had heard her expressly say this, but the Elecmon just wanted to make sure. "If so, maybe you could have a talk to Koharu about it? Colin or I could introduce you to her if you wanted".
Colin meanwhile shuddered at the mention of track 44 of the CD. "Yes... don't worry, I'll try to skip that one" he said, chuckling. As Bellamy gave a knowing grin at Warg and thought of all the possibilities of a private room with Coronamon, Sophie then turned her attention to Koharu.
"Yeah, of course, that can wait another time" she said, smiling. "However will it be okay if I exchange D-Terminal details with you?" she offered.
Ah there were so many guests here. Colin was enjoying himself though. So these three were Dante, Judith and the Worm King? Interesting. He couldn't help but snicker as they conversed. They seemed as lively as his twin partners.
"Ah, thanks..." Colin said, a little surprised to receive a gift from guests that he didn't know, but, supposed it looked okay enough. He put it on the gift table and hoped it could be put to good use later on.
"Who's this George Foreman and what does he know about cooking?" Bellamy asked, looking at the grill in a confused manner. "Ah, hey, now we're talkin'!" he grinned as he noticed the bottles of wine.
"Now now, Bells, don't get ahead of yourself there" Colin warned. As a 14 year old he wouldn't be touching the alcohol, but supposed it was alright. And Sophie was equally confused to receive a gift bag of lotions, but hid any awkwardness and accepted it gratefully with a smile and a bow.
Well then, hopefully a few more guests would be arriving soon. Colin was hoping Marshal would turn up, while Sophie looked forward to introduce her fellow AEGIS members to other personalities of the digital world.

Simply Acknowledging Sophie's words with a nod, she bid her farewell for the time being and let her entertain her other guests. Thinking about it, Cion started to indeed hope that John and Satoshi would join this party so business would be easier on her part. And with business, she obviously thought about forming connection and relationships as to assure future allies in times of need. While AEGIS was no longer her cup of tea, she was confident that a group like them was needed to keep peace between men and mon, and since it was made out of powerful individuals, having them as adversaries for silly reasons was irrational.
But with the present more on her mind than the close future, she listened carefully as Luke quietly responded to her question. And to be completely honest, the response almost startled her. Luke and Bellamy singing, playing instruments and even some additional musicians. Her pupils grew small as she heard that, and as Cion scratched her chin she thought about a way to deal with this. "Okay... Bellamy did not tell me he wanted an entire band for Sophie. Though I suppose that explains the abundant sheet music..."
Briefly startled, the well-dressed Arnamon took in a deep breath and let out a neutral sigh before nodding many times over. "Okay-okay, adaptability is a strength of every artist. Besides, not playing multiple instruments and singing at once makes things easier, hehe." She commented with a nervous chuckle, feeling like she had wasted many hours on learning to use her ability to bend gravity with the force of her will to carefully play instruments like the violin. Then again, she was not very good at it yet, so it was probably better to not ruin Sophie's present. Besides, for a later occasion, she might be able to perform as a one-mon-orchestra for others.
Putting that aside for now, Cion made notice of Luke's kind offer, one she was playfully hesitant to take. "Indeed I am, and I would be, once again, in your debt to be introduced to your secondary leader. But I've also heard that your organization has reached its member capacity limit. Do you know if that is true?" She asked, not putting too much faith in online-blogs and alike. But regardless, just having the opportunity to forge a bond with Koharu, just like Sophie, wouldn't be one she would let pass by un-utilized.

"I heard that!" suddenly behind Luke and Cion, Koharu popped out while holding her glass of drink of choice. The PROFIT subleader indeed have a huge liking in appearing dramatically, and at times appearing when someone talking about her. Grinning ear to ear, the said girl somehow has invited herself to the conversation.
"Should've gone ahead and came to me directly you know? Ah, is it because you're nervous? Don't mind my partner, they're actually quite funny. Three of us could make jokes on the fly you know~"
"So much that I had to wonder if my blood pressure risen again because she keeps frustrating me with her jokes," Kon-chan muttered.
"Gahaha, good one Anego! Digimon doesn't have blood pressure! But sure thing that you looks baldier day by day--"
"WHOSE FAULT IS THAT, GODDAMMIT!?" Kon-chan retorted to Warg's commentary.
As expected, the three in the "manzai troupe" is really noisy again today. However, that's not important. Now that business has been decided, then Koharu pulled another chair and sat there. "So, I heard you want to join in PROFIT, hmmm? Well, of course, leader or subleader, I'm happy to accept you in our ranks--or so I'd like to say, but we must make sure that you... uh, didn't get wrong idea what PROFIT did. So, would you like to have interview today, or would you like to try it another time? I'm fine with either. It's nice to pass time, you know~?"

It wasn't long until a live band started playing music. "A Digimon band, I can dig it." Dante looks over and sees his sister thinking about taking the stage to sing. "Don't even think about it." "What? I didn't say anything." "We'll do karaoke another time. Best not to mix wine and music at a birthday party in the Digital World." Bellamy asked them who this George Foreman person was. "Oh, he is a boxer from the 80's. Apparently punching people in the head, and getting punched in the head yourself makes you good at making grills." "I don't understand it, but it must have worked because these little grills are amazing! Cheeseburgers in the middle of the night... Thank you, George Foremon!" "It's Foreman."
While Colin was much too young for the wine, that didn't stop the others. Dante and Judith each pour a glass. Wormmon, however, would not be drinking wine, as he's crazy enough sober. Dante looks around at the party goers. Apparently there's top members from two prominent factions, AEGIS and PROFIT. Hopefully they were more well structured than the past factions Dante has met. Team Takashi personified dysfunctional, and the Defectors were, well, constantly defecting from each other. And it didn't help that DATS went belly up.
Dante eyes a lovely young lass with long blonde hair across the room. Dante tries not to stare, but Judith catches him eyeing her. Judith grabs Dante by the ear. "Ah hey! What are you doing that for?" "We're not here to pick up dates. Try to have a good time without ogling the guests." "Ya, well, if Yuuki was here, you'd be eyeballing him." "True. That washboard chest and tight buttocks..." Dante wasn't the only one enjoying the view, as the Worm King was more than happy to see so many beautiful young ladies. "The Worm King is pleased. Come on, Dante, let's go meet some babes!"
"Ya, alright." Dante just stands there awkwardly. He tries to build up the courage to approach a girl, but he wasn't bold enough to put himself out there like that. "What are you doing, Dante?" "Let's wait for them to come to us." "Well I'm not going to stand around waiting, Dante." Wormmon grabs a bottle of wine and crawls up Dante's arm. He sticks the bottle in Dante's mouth and pours the wine down. *Cough cough* "Ahh, Wormmon! What are you doing?!" "That wine was for everybody!" "Relax, you guys! There's still another bottle. Drunk Dante is much better at approaching strange women than stupid boring Dante." Once all that alcohol kicks in, Dante's inhibitions would be hitting the road. "You two try not to get into trouble. I'm going to watch the band perform."

Marshal and Coronamon were a bit late, but it was always better to be fashionably late to these kinds of things, right? The two of them walked into the room to find a ton of faces, both familiar and fresh, scattered around the room.
"Hey!" Marshal called out as he walked up to the birthday duo and their assorted partners. "Sorry I'm late!"
"We got held up with something on the way here," Coronamon added, not really going into too much detail. In truth, they had run into Satoshi on the way and told him about the party. He and Gabumon hastily rushed off to find a present and hoped to join the party as soon as possible.
"Anyway, we didn't come empty-handed!" Marshal said cheerfully, handing both Sophie and Colin their own presents. Colin would find a long, flowing red scarf to help match with Luke and Bellamy, and Sophie would recieve a fancy-looking internet router.
Coronamon, meanwhile, was already right next to Bellamy. "Hey, babe," he smirked, putting his arm around him. "How you doin'?"
