For a second there Takeshi was worried about how the gang is going to react to digimon, he was then greeted with another secret. Apparently everyone is a tamer with the exception of Judith, which made Takeshi raise an eyebrow as he only suspected Willow to be a digimon and he did not know who her partner was in the first. He wanted to ask some question but the topic moved on to Ryu and Ken. Takeshi will ask all of his question later, for now the gang is rightfully curios about the twin dragons.
Willow asks about how Takeshi found out that she is a digimon "Uh, you referred to yourself as a mon, and you do not look Jamaican to me" Takeshi Chuckles at his own joke, but Willow was less secretive about their identity.
Dante then finally snaps at both Judith and Shirou, which is long overdue in Takeshi's opinion. Especially Shirou whom was a little helpful but was an annoying pervert. But Takeshi was mostly shocked about seeing Dante actually angry, he did not seem like the type to get angry. Well anyways both Judith and Shirou throw the blame onto each other, no one wanted to be at fault but if you ask takeshi he would say its all Shirou's fault. "Its okay, accidents happen. If everyone is okay then its fine"
the group then sees Ryu and Ken. Judith was the first to react and she says that they are cute which flustered Ryu "C-cute ? Me ? Thank you...um you are cute too." He said blushing he still can't handle a compliment. She then says that she thinks that Takeshi is cute, Takeshi did know how to properly respond he was caught of guard. A light blush crosses his face "uh-" but before he could finish what he was saying Ken snapped out of his daze and said "hey what time is it ?" Ken accidentally cut in on whatever Compliments Takeshi was going to say.
The gang then chew on Shirou for a while until he decides to turn the boat around, Takeshi, Ryu and Ken all think this is a great idea as they definitely prefer the land over the sea. Kiyoko then suggest going to her family shrine "Yes I agree with Kiyoko, going to the shrine will be a perfect to help everyone calm down" Takeshi said as he noticed things were getting a little too heated on the boat.
Willow then approaches approaches Takeshi and asks him questioning his strength. "Oh, well we are okay. Here let us show you, guys roll out" As he said that the two demiveemons jump out of the bag doing a couple of flips before landing and doing the same pose but on opposite directions. Takeshi then takes out his digivice and utters the word "Digivolution" as he said a glowing light covers both digimon. After the light disappears two new digimon appear, in the place of red demiveemons a shoutmon appears and in the place of the blue demiveemon a Veemon appears.
"All right lets introduce ourselves. Here you have the infinitely handsome Shoutmon, but call me Ken"
"And I am a Veemon but call me Ryu, hope we can all be friends" Ryu said with a big genuine smile on his face.
Little did they know, Takeshi, Ryu and Ken are heading towards a battle. Would they be able to help, are they going to meet the prankster dracmon no one knows yet.

Matadormon glanced up, seeing the wave of cold approaching. He whistled, as the rapidly approaching mound of ice rose over him. For a moment, he planted his foot on he water, and spun in place, tracing a circle in the ocean, at blinding speed, "Burrudoggu!" he announced, as a twister suddenly appeared. The winds dragged water into the air, creating a waterspout, high into the sky. The water around himself froze, chilling him deeply, but the twister protected him from all sides, creating a tall upwards tube of ice.
Inside of this tube, he was doing the splits, balancing himself on the walls of ice around himself. "Well, it seems I won't need my speed anymore, what say we use this terrain?" He offered, to himself. A light shone faintly from the tube. A metal hand gripped the top of the tube, and some chortling laughter could be heard from within. The hand pulled a long-armed being yanked himself out, tucking his massive arms around his head, rolling down the tube, and bouncing off the ground. His tiny legs with massive shoes somehow stuck the landing, right in front of Seadramon and Cassius, "Now, then, Ceasar was it? Try not to choke on your foot, while I perform, alllright, kiddo?" He asked, while he grabbed spiked pins from his back, tossing one in the air, before grabbing a third one, trailing a cartoonish string behind it. He started juggling the three, the string on the third pin lighting, revealing itself to be a very cartoonish bomb.

In spite of melees breaking out, the gang has had a good time out on the boat. Wormmon is a bit flustered his identity was revealed. Definitely not the right person, or in this case mon, for a covert or undercover mission. With Shirou alone in the cabin, the gang watches as the twins Ken and Ryu digivolve to Shoutmon and Veemon respectively. Wormmon, Judith and Kiyoko clap enthusiastically.
"Alright! Finally some Digimon up in here. Makes me wish we were in the Digital World, beating down bad guys together." "Never one to give peaceful negotiations a chance, I see." "Oh, and your hands are so clean, ya snotty witch."
Dante continues trying to play the peacekeeper, a role he wasn't fond of. "All this sunshine must be frying your brains. Why is everyone so irritated today?" "What, are you new or something? You're the one who has been in the sun too long. We're always at each other's throats." "Let's just try to relax, and stop calling each other names. I'm looking at you, Wormmon." "Sure, play the blame game." "One day, without a bad attitude. Just one day would be nice, Worm King."
The gang takes a break from getting on each other's nerves and enjoys the view as they sail back to the shore. They notice something odd on the lake. "Hey you guys, what is that thing?" "It appears to be a large floating mound of ice." "You mean like an ice cube?" "No, like an Iceberg. And we're heading right towards it!"
The group starts to panic. "Ahh I don't wanna crash into that thing! Shirou better swerve out of the way." Dante goes to the door to the cabin and tries to open it, but it is locked tight. Dante starts banging on the door. "Shirou! You're sailing right towards an iceberg! Change course!"
Meanwhile inside the cabin, Shirou is playing a Japanese MMO and eating candy, completely oblivious to where the boat is heading. "Stupid jerks. Judith is such a pain to be around. But she's one of the only girls that I've gotten past 2nd base with. And she's blonde and skinny too. And Kiyoko's not showing any signs of attraction to me. I'll show them. I'll find new friends to hang out with, and bring all kinds of women out on my boat." *Obnoxious high-pitched laugher.*
Dante continues trying to get Shirou's attention, but it has no effect. "We've got to do something before we crash." "Let's see if the captain will go down with his ship." "We don't have much time. Worst case scenario, Wormmon can digivolve to Stingmon and fly us to safety." "Ya, but I can't carry everyone."
"All I wanted was to celebrate traditional culture, and your pervy friend is going to ruin everything, just like always!" "You're the one who lead him on, you tease." "I thought you said no more name calling, you hippo!" "Did Wormmon just call you a hippo?" "He means hypocrite." "Shut up! I know what I said." _______________________
The Matadormon Drac had channeled the water into a waterspout, creating a small tower of ice on top of the iceberg. Seadramon circles around and underneath the iceberg, keeping Drac on his toes. The iceberg continues to increase in size. Cassius had taken Drac calling him Ceasar personally. The thief was almost more eager to squash Drac than to seek revenge on Shirou for the moment. When above the surface, Seadramon keeps his eyes on Matadormon's pins, in particular the bomb.
After building up speed, Seadramon returns to the surface, and swings its tail to create a large wave. The water begins to freeze, as shards of ice shoot out towards the iceberg. The water crashes down around Matadormon, and the ice continues to expand. Seadramon creates another wave, launching more ice shards. At this point, Seadramon is now out of the water, on part of the mound of ice. This leaves the sea serpent open to attack.
Shirou's boat continues sailing straight towards the iceberg, as the pale computer geek simply set the ship to return to where he had launched off from. The gang starts to panic more and more as they get closer to the iceberg. Cassius notices the boat heading towards them. "That must be Shirou's boat. Two birds with one stone, eh bat brain? You shouldn't be so trusting of them."

Ryu and Ken both smile in satisfaction, you see this "Grand" entrance was Ken idea, but Ryu was glad it impressed people nonetheless. Ken then walks up to wormmon "I know right, I really want to beat a bad guy as well." Ken seems to agree with wormmon.
"No, I agree with Kiyoko. A pacifist ending to a fight is the best outcome, and besides don't call her a witch that's just rude " Ryu argues with Wormmon, calling names was definitely something he does not like.
On the other hand Takeshi sees Dante trying to play the role of the leader. Which is painfully obvious that Dante is not really fit for this role, but then Judith said something that caught the attention his attention apparently she and Judith were like this for a while. "Hey if you do not me asking, and I know this might seem a little nosey but does Shirou like Judith. Cause maybe that's why he is acting weird" Takeshi added, he felt kinda bad for Shirou I mean he was jerk but that was harsh.
After that, Takeshi Ryu and Ken enjoy the view. "Man, this is really beautiful. The sparkling ocean, the light breeze and the shining sun. I feel like writing a song in honour of this new friendship" just like that, Ken considered the people on the boat to be his friends.
"Wow that is really beautiful Ken, so you are really going to pursue music ?" Ryu said looking at his brother who gave him a quick nod to answer his question. "Thats good for you ma-" Ryu stopped in a shocking halt, "wait is that what I think it is ? Oh my god!! Its an iceberg with what seems like a digimon on it" Ryu said as the passengers began to panic, Takeshi being one of them.
"No no no no no no, how did this end like this. We gotta talk with shirou." He said as he went with Dante to Shirou's cabin and knocked on its door with no response. "Damn it he is not responding, what do we do now ?" Dante then suggest that wormmon digivolves and carry them.
"Umm we can try to fuse and melt the iceberg, but that would just cause people to notice us more."
"Uh, wait a minute how did she lead him on ? Were they flirting ?" Ken asks as he looks at Judith confused.
"I think they are dating" Ryu says also looking at judith waiting for an answer.
"Is this really the time for that ? "

Mirthmon bounced from one massive shoe to the other, still juggling his pins, while laughing sinisterly. The bouncing caused his red and green eyes to bounce around, in their socket, resembling googly eyes. He stared up at the wave of slush and ice crystals, and giggled manically, before tossing his bomb directly towards the water. The pin was frozen, for a moment, just after the fuse ran out, before an explosion appeared, creating a small bubble where the water was forced to change direction, leaving the clown to juggle with only two pins, before being sprayed by water. Oddly enough, his hair still stood in it's puffy state, as water seemed to pass straight through it, affecting it minimally. Closer inspection revealed his hair to be a mass of curls of shaved metal bits, colored to look like traditional clown hair.
Mirthmon glanced, towards the approaching boat, "Nonsense! Now, I have an audience! Let us not disappoint them, Comrade Ceaser!" He yelled, swinging his arms outwards, making gtheir brightly colored segments stretch apart, for a moment, revealing circuitry and wires behind the colorful armor, before they clicked back into place. He started tossing the pins from hand to hand, and spinning the in his grip, flourishing them like a pair of knives, before tossing the two, towards the sea monster, both curving in opposite directions, closing in on their position. They slammed into the ice, crossing over each other, mere feet away from Seadramon. The revealed them to be a diversion, as Mirthmon planted his arms on the ground, as he opened his mouth eerily wide, and shouted "Silly String!" firing a long rope of tied handkerchiefs from his throat, aiming to entangle the boy and his digimon together.

Wormmon and Kiyoko continue to bicker, with Ken taking Wormmon's side, and Ryu agreeing with Kiyoko. Takeshi politely asks about Shirou's affection for Judith. Dante is the first to speak up. "Shirou has very strong feelings for Judith, which have only been dialed up to 11 because Judith here thought it would be funny to mess with his head a little." It sounded like Ken is pursuing a love of music. But then, disaster looms on the horizon, as they detect an iceberg on their course.
The gang frantically tries to get Shirou's attention. Some of them are still confused over the bizarre Judirou relationship. Or is it Shiroudith? All these young adults at sea with their hormones flaring, even in the face of danger. Wormmon gets a determined look on his face.
"Time to break it down!" The Worm King forms a cocoon out of silk thread and digivolves to Stingmon, the King of Sting. Stingmon charges up his energy spike and pierces through the cabin door. He slices through and kicks down the remaining pieces. Dante and Judith rush over to Shirou, who is lounging in his chair, staring up at the computer monitors.
"Shirou, you've got to turn the boat! Wait a minute, what the hell are you doing?" Shirou is startled by the intrusion and spills his beer on the floor. "What on earth do you think you are doing?! You can't just break in here." "There is an iceberg in the water, and we are heading right towards it. Stop playing your freaking game and look at where you are going."
Shirou exits out of the game and brings up the navigation hub. "Hmm, it appears you are right. Oh, this is not good!" "What's wrong? Just change direction." "I forgot to turn in my quests." "Listen up, you pencil necked no life! Forget about your stupid game and don't crash the boat!"
Judith gets up in Shirou's face. Dante gets an uncomfortable feeling, as he senses something bad is about to happen. It is as if time slows down for a moment. Judith goes to hit Shirou. "Ju-dith, N-N-N-NOOOOOO!..." As Judith is about to punch Shirou, he ducks down out of the way, and Judith bumps into the control panel. Suddenly the screen flickers to black as the navigation hub shuts down.
"Now we're really in trouble. Judith, you just shut down the controls!" "Doesn't that mean the boat will stop?" "The boat is still following its programming, returning to port. But now I can't access the controls until the system reboots!"
Dante goes back outside and looks at the encroaching iceberg. "We're not going to make it in time." "Just wait, the controls are coming back online. I think we are going to miss it by a few meter-"
*BOOM! Crash!*
Shirou's boat slams right into the iceberg, a massive chunk of ice tearing open a large hole. The boat starts to sink lower. "This is bad! Let's fly the hell out of here." "You never cease to amaze me, imbecile. I don't know what's worse, you groping me, or Leonardo DiCaprio-ing us all." Dante, Kiyoko, and Judith gather around Stingmon and get ready to take off. Shirou starts freaking out. "Wait! We have to save my boat! It's my pride and joy. It's too valuable." "We're not risking our lives to stay on your sinking ship, Shirou. Hurry up and grab on to Stingmon." Shirou is hesitant to leave. Would they stay afloat long enough to reach the shore, or was Shirou's ego about to take a huge blow? _____________________
Drac and Seadramon face off on the iceberg. Drac throws his bomb, triggering a wave of icicles to fly out in several directions from Seadramon's attack. As the ice increases in size, more and more icicles begin to form. Seadramon and Cassius are soon blocked off on one part of the iceberg. Mirthmon launches a rope made of handkerchiefs that wraps around Cassius and Seadramon. The thief struggles trying to free himself from the rope. "Blast it, More of your dirty parlor tricks." Seadramon lets out a low pitched grumble, as the sea monster embraces what is about to come. Shirou's boat crashes into the iceberg, causing several large chunks of ice to come cascading down on the three of them.
Cassius suffers several scrapes and bruises, and his arm has been badly sliced open by a falling icicle. Seadramon's tail becomes trapped underneath several ice boulders. Desperate to flee this dangerous situation, Seadramon tries blasting the ice around him with a wave of energy. Attempting to create a gap big enough to swim off into the water. "That's good enough for now. Your fate is still sealed, Shirou. And curse you, stranger, for interfering. You should realize who's side you need to be fighting on." ______________________
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The panicking continues and evolves, as all hope was almost lost. But Willow breaks out a weird option and that is to evolve, Takeshi, Ryu and Ken wanted to avoid evolution because they did want the public to know about Digimon but there was no other way. Stingmon appears out of the cocoon that wormmon made. The Trio let out an audible "wow" as stingmon destroyed the cabin's door. "Watch out do not make too much fuss, we do not want the public to panic willow" Ryu said as he was concerned, luckily they were not alot of people in the beach today. " Well anyways its about time Right Ryu, Takeshi ?" Ken said as he gave both his partner and brother a quick look. Back to The cabin Takeshi decided to walk up to the front of the door to see how Dante and Judith will handle this, after all they know Shirou better than him. And there approach was not graceful at all, in fact to no ones suprise Judith resorted to physical violence once more. And she ruined something again, granted Shirou is annoying but damn. " Ugh, damn it all. Judith why did you do that, I am sorry, its okay I know another way out." Takeshi said as he took out his digivice. Takeshi loses his balance as the ship hits the ice berg, he lets out a sigh. His fear disappeared and now he is calm well except the fact that his day was ruined. "Damn it, Shirou I expected a pleasant day with a nice group of people but noooo, you thought it will be cool to ride a boat and have girls wear bikinis. And grope people and force yourself on others, I tried to stay patient with you but thats it and you Judith trust me I know Shirou is annoying but stop hitting him that does not help your case, and you are cute by the way I was going to ask you out on a date if you are free before Rpg brain showed up. Sorry to both of you." Takeshi takes a deep breath in. " Damn, well you got it out of your chest. Now evolution time" ken said as Takeshi took out his digivice and a blue ball of light covered Ryu the veemon. The light was bright was bright but it faded after a couple of seconds. Emerging from a beautiful angel with long flowing yellow hair that was flowing with the wind. The digimon smiled, his smile was so comforting and reliable that it can help others feel calm. A visor then covered the upper part of his face. He then picked up takeshi who was holding Ken who was holding a Takeshi's bag. " You are coming too" he said as he grabbed Shirou and looked at stingmon " hey I trust with those three, now lets go to that end of the beach no one is there and we can de evolve and avoid people in general. " Ryu said as he took off to the skies flying towards a certain spot in the beach that will help him avoid people. Mid way he sees a Mirthmon in the ocean, which caught him off guard. He then signals it to follow him, he is more concerned that the mega level mon will cause public panic. He then arrives in a woody area of the beach covered by trees, he drops Shirou roughly and puts Takeshi and Ken gently. They now wait for Stingmon and the strange matadormon.
((Sorry for the delay, hope I did not gmod anything xD)

Mirthmon rocked back and forth, as the boat impacted into the ice, his massive shoes slipping on the ice, but their large surface refusing to fall over, Mirthmon staggered, tugging on his rope to keep balance. He glanced up, as ice shards flew towards him, making forcing him to yank even harder on his Silly String, even pulling it back into his mouth, dragging him towards Cassius. Seadramon was too big to be dragged very much. Mirthmon spun his body, his head staying in place while the rest of his body spun, his massive arms flailing wildly, swatting away flying ice. Eventually, he stretched an arm straight at towards Cassius, sending it's metal fist straight towards the human's face, before it stopped just short. It hung there, for a moment, before it flipped it's index and middle fingers up, pointing at him, before the tips of these fingers popped off, and tried to poke the man in the eyes.
He withdrew his arm, and landed in front of the two, chomping and detaching his string with. He glanced up, spotting the group leaving. For a brief moment, he wondered where his audience was going, but then realized that a sinking boat wasn't exactly first class seats to a show. He shrugged, he would need better seats to properly entertain a group. He glanced around, before glancing up at Cassius and Seadramon, "Sides? Who's takin' Sides? You just attacked me an' my bro, and you pissed off Matadormon with that little jab. That part of me's sensitive, like that." He shrugged, watching the two flee, he glanced around, before punching a chunk of ice, detaching a smaller chunk of ice, approximately the size of a multi-man canoe, and he hopped onto it, his legs wrapping around either side, as his arms started paddling, towards the shore, towards where he thought he left Keramon.

So much for a fun day on the lake, as due to a series of unlikely events, the gang found themselves on a sinking ship. Takeshi rightfully scolds Shirou and Judith for causing this. Kiyoko is surprised to see such passion from the usually calm, cool and collected young man. That can happen when tragedy strikes. Judith is even more frustrated with Shirou, when Takeshi reveals that he thinks Judith is cute and was going to ask him out. Dante pleads with Judith not to attack the nerd and inadvertently cause more trouble, as if they weren't already in deep Numemon droppings.
When Wormmon digivolved to Stingmon, Ryu warns not to be seen by fellow beach goers. A sinking ship was sure to start drawing attention, so they would have to be quick and careful. Ryu digivolves into the righteous Angemon, and then grabs the tipsy captain. "Whoah, an Angemon, you guys! So cool." Shirou flails around, struggling to get away, but he found himself lacking in strength. While clinging on to the Digimon for dear life, Stingmon and Angemon take off across the lake, heading towards a section of the shore where no one is around. Stingmon notices some Digimon on the iceberg. One of them must have caused this unusual work of nature.
On the iceberg, Cassius and Seadramon found themselves tangles up in Mirthmon's handkerchiefs. Drac sent his hand flying towards the thief, who was more than a little surprised to get poked in the eyes. Cassius rubs his face, as his blurred vision starts returning to normal. Seadramon devolves back down to Betamon, thus creating enough slack in the rope for him and Cassius to free themselves. "This isn't over. You'll regret messing with us. Though actually it was kind of our fault, but that's not the point now!" Cassius and Betamon jump in the water, with the thief holding onto Betamon's little legs, as he slowly paddles away. Not a dignified exit for the cunning outlaw. On the shore, Keramon sees Drac sailing over. The ice begins to melt away, and the virus is freed, but what is left of the limo is little more than a scrap heap. A very cold scrap heap.
Shirou's boat slowly sinks below the surface, along with whatever party supplies the gang couldn't carry with them. They reach the shore and welcome the chance to walk on dry land. Kiyoko reaches down the front of her swimsuit and pulls out a bottle of soda.
"And so our voyage comes to an abrupt end. Needless to say, I'm very disappointed it has come to this." "These things happen. Why was there a freaking iceberg in the lake?" Judith mostly stays quiet, both mad at Shirou and mad at herself for causing so much trouble. "Guys, I'm very sorry. It's just that, Shirou gets me so worked up..." Dante puts his hand on Judith's shoulder. "I understand, that's just the cross you have to bare because of my friend. My greedy, drunk, perverted friend."
"Hmph, this whole friend thing seems overrated. I was *hic* just trying to be more social. Now I'm just looking forward to getting back to my games." "Imbecile... Let us return and change our clothes, then head to my family's temple. I need some peace of mind right about now." Stingmon devolves back to Wormmon, then activates his/her holosuit. "Well I had a fun time. Let's go sailing again sometime!" The gang returns to the beach shack to change, then starts heading towards the temple. ____________________
((No worries, Takeshi. I didn't think anything was gmodding. Usually it's me, lol.))

Post by Takeshi Ryu & Ken on Dec 30, 2017 19:04:26 GMT
Looking back, this was a wild day for Takeshi, to think a plan to visit a sushi place would end with him escaping a sinking ship. Truly his original trip to the digital world turned his life upside down. Ryu was disappointed that the digimon that he saw did not follow him. But whatever the fact that the entire gang was safe was more important to Ryu, "oh, that's good everyone is fine. But be careful guys, I think I saw a weird digimon and I believe he is the reason that the ship is now with the fishes" He said that as he went back to his demiveemon stage. "Oh right we have to do this, eh at least now we do not have to hide from you guys" Ken said as he also de evolved into demiveemon and went inside Takeshi bag alongside his brother.
"Like wise Kiyoko, but at least everyone is safe " Takeshi said as he let out a sigh of relief. Judith then apologized which made Takeshi feel bad, he did not need to lash out on her. He stayed silent, trying to figure how to apologize to her. Shirou then opens his mouth, Takeshi does not even think about apologizing to him at all. Kiyoko then suggests that the group go to the shrine "yes brilliant, I know I need to rest my mind" Takeshi says chuckling.
"Yes, I really want to see the shrine"
"Is there food there ? Cause I am hungry guys" The two brothers popped their heads out of a opening in Takeshi's bag.
"Do not worry, I will get you guys something. Now let us change clothes" Takeshi went back to his regular clothes which consists of a white unbuttoned long sleeves shirt, a black t shirt and jeans.
The gang continued to walk as Takeshi thought of what to say to Judith. He walks up to Judith and taps her on the shoulder " Umm, Can I talk to you for a second. Privately " Takeshi said as the two dragons in his bag seem interested.

Mirthmon continued paddling his make-shift boat, glancing around, with more his head than his eyes, as they were bouncing uselessly around in their sockets, but his head turned to glance around, as if his eyes were perfectly functional, to begin with. He spotted Keramon, standing next to some garbage. Once his ice chunk came within around 40 feet, he stopped paddling, and reared back, before reaching out with his arm, it extending straight to the shore, grabbing one of the stray ice chunks on the ground, attached to one of the limo's wheels. His metal fingers dug into it, as he started pulling on his arm, tugging himself along the water's surface, before his ice got caught on the ground beneath the water, which had risen up the closer he came to the shore. He was pitched off of his boat, and sent rolling into the sand, before he slammed, back-first, into the side of the former limo, his eyes rattling around, for a moment, as his legs dangled in the air, his massive shoes dangling downwards, before his eyes focused back on Keramon, before he was covered in light, and he reverted back to a rookie, "Heya! I beat em up!" He stated, before falling over, and was now face-first in the ground, with his arms and legs stretched up and down. He spun his wrists to stare at Keramon. "How are you?" He asked, quite casually, while muffled, with dirt in his teeth.

The gang is much in need of some R and R after their sailing mishap. Being around Shirou for more than 5 minutes was definitely enough to give a person an anxiety attack. It wasn't a good day for the perverted introvert. His prized boat is now at the bottom of the lake, and although he doesn't know it yet, his limo is totaled. The group changes back into the clothes that they were wearing before. Dante finishes early and has time to smoke a cigarette while the girls are finishing getting changed.
Ryu and Ken return to Takeshi's bag, so cute. While they still had to avoid being seen by others, the veil had been lifted and the group didn't have to hide anything about Digimon around each other. While they are heading to the temple, Takeshi asks to speak with Judith in private. "Yes, of course." Judith smiles at the young man. It isn't like Shirou hasn't pulled Dante aside a couple of times. Hopefully Takeshi's motives are purer than Shirou's. Of course they are!
Back on the shore, Keramon is glad to see Drac is alright. He paddles back on his ice raft, then he stretches his arm way out to drag himself to shore. Keramon types a message on the device and passes it to Drac. "Great job! Sorry I wasn't much help. Let's return to trailing the group." Keramon is nervous about what will happen once Shirou finds out what happened to his limo. He looks noticeably concerned, despite his wide-eyed smile. Keramon sees the gang heading towards the temple and starts to follow them at a distance to avoid being detected. It is difficult to avoid being spotted floating down the street, so he has to keep an eye out in case someone notices him.
The group finally reaches the temple. Kiyoko is noticeably less irritated. "As I've told you, my family has been maintaining this temple for many generations. Please, mind yourselves." "I'm guessing you are referring to Shirou and Willow." "Hey, you're the one that keeps messing everything up, Judith." The gang approaches a long flight of stairs and starts walking up. They reach a small shrine across from an old but well-maintained wooden building. Kiyoko rings a gold bell by pulling on a rope, then takes out a seal and recites a short chant.
The priestess lights a small fire, and the group gathers around. Kiyoko sits perfectly still with her eyes closed, entering a meditative trance. "Clear your mind, expel all negative emotions and connect with nature." This wasn't really Dante's thing, but despite what he told Shirou, he does have strong feelings for Kiyoko, and he was more than willing to pretend to be interested. Dante closes his eyes and listens to the wind passing by, and the birds singing in the trees. Willow just sits there, looking confused. "Is this it? No sacrifices, or how about a summoning?" "Patience is not your strong suit, I understand." Dante leans over to Willow. "Just try to go along with it, little buddy. Kiyoko is a little stressed out." "Well you're stressed out all the time, and I don't see you meditating." "Why do you think I smoke?" Shirou begrudgingly goes along with the rituals. He was also in need of a mental break. The next rude thing out of his mouth could be the breaking point. He remains silent, reflecting on today and just wanting to be alone.
Keramon follows after the gang with Drac. The Virus Digimon watches as they sit around the small fire. He turns to give Drac a look, as in "Now's our chance, their guard is down." Maybe this wasn't the best time to pull a rib on them. They needed a peaceful moment.

Post by Takeshi Ryu & Ken on Jan 7, 2018 4:04:07 GMT
Takeshi was glad that Judith agreed to talk to him in private, he was about to talk but stopped as he saw both Ryu and Ken eavesdropping on them so he closed the bag for a moment. "Listen, I do not really know how to say this but here goes nothing. I think you are really pretty and I would be more than happy if you go out with me for coffee some other day. Heh, man I need to up my asking people on a date skills" He said chuckling nervously, trying to lighten up the mood as he waited for her answer.
Back with the gang, Takeshi opens his bag and follows them to temple "like she said, misconduct in this holy place is not tolerated" Takeshi said, giving Shirou a serious glare. He then looks around the temple "its beautiful kiyoko" Takeshi said with a sort of amazement in his eyes.
"Yeah, something about gives me the feeling of a warm welcome. Something like a loving embrace I love it, my mind feels at peace already."
"I do not know man, looks like any temple to me. But maybe its just me"
Takeshi follows kiyoko in her meditative trance, as he sits there silent reflecting on a lot of things in life, his future, the digital world and a lot more as they slowly fade away and are replace by only positive emotions.
Ryu does the same, but his mind is filled with negative emotions mostly about his forgotten past, forgotten friends and forgotten mentor. With this frustration in his heart and mind, he could not attain true peace of mind. He opens and looks around to see if anyone else is also opening his eyes.
Ken on the other hand was just chilling inside of Takeshi's bag eating candy and playing with his phone, no worry is in his heart, he attained his form of zen in a different manner.

DracNos tailed behind the other virus type dutifully, while wiping away and spitting out whatever muck got caught in his teeth. Eventually, as they neared the temple, while raising his arms to get a better look. Keramon offered this to be the prime opportunity, but in an odd move, DracNos grimaced and his tongue hung out of the other of his mouth, "Bleh... I don't like this place... t's all holy n' stuff." He gasped, sitting down, feeling a severely uncomfortable feeling, as a result of being in this place. The more intelligent side of him silently acknowledged how his whole existence disliked holy energy and stuff like "Purity of the spirit" made him physically nauseous.
He shook these thoughts aside, before he turned to Keramon, again, "That's no good, they aren't doing anything we can mess with without being noticed. If we're seen messing with em', the game's over, remember?" He clarified, "Sure, their guard is "down", but what kind of stuff can we do?" He asked, watching the group from a bit further back, pondering what they could mean by "Negative emotions", it had never occurred to him that emotions could be negative, in any capacity. Bah, enough with that nonsense, there was a more pressing issue right now. This was quite the puzzle, to interfere from the shadows was usually easy, nigh effortless, but since the group was meditating, expelling dark energy, HIS energy, as well as the quiet of the room they were sitting in, all combined to make quite the difficult scenario. But DracNos the Dracmon was not the type to surrender, especially after he made rules in his game, he just needed a bit more time to think.

Post by Dante on Jan 11, 2018 5:32:43 GMT
While Takeshi and Judith were away from the group, Takeshi worked up the nerves to ask Judith out. The would-be pop idol does her best to hide her excitement. "Really? Of course! I mean, that sounds nice. But if anyone asks, we're the same age." Judith is back in the dating game, but how would Shirou react if he finds out? When Takeshi warns Shirou to behave at the temple, Shirou turns his nose up and doesn't say anything. The creeper went from inappropriate to just plain rude.
The gang follows Kiyoko's lead and meditates around the fire. It was a good chance to reflect back. Everyone takes their own approach to it. Dante in particular finds it difficult to slow his thoughts. There were so many things on his mind. Judith also has plenty on her mind. While her mission to experience traditional culture today has lead to mixed results, she just got asked out by Takeshi, so she's on cloud nine right now.
Finally, Wormmon has had enough waiting around. "Alright, that was a nice nappy poo, but I'm ready for some action. Hey Dante, why do you look so tired?" The anxious Worm King crosses their arms, not amused by the tranquility. (Thinking) "Hmm, Dante seems to be going into a zombie-like state. Is Kiyoko draining the life out of us? Stupid Dante, Kiyoko could be an evil sorceress, and you wouldn't even stop her because you're intimidated by pretty girls."
The priestess is miffed with Willow's attitude. "Very well. It won't be much longer. I understand you lack focus and concentration." "Kiyoko talking down from her high horse. I am so surprised." Kiyoko gives Shirou a wicked glare. She fills up a small wooden bucket with water and pours it on the fire. "Sometimes you do things because other people might enjoy it. I wasn't too keen on most of our activities today. Let that be a lesson to you." "A lesson?! Stop acting like you're smarter than us. I'm more smarter than Frankenstein." "Eh? You mean Einstein?" "The guy with the top hat." "Looks like Willow's ignorance extends beyond just Japan, right little buddy?" "Now you're being mean to me too? Takeshi, punch Dante for me, please."
Kiyoko gives a brief tour around the rest of the temple. The only sounds are coming from birds singing in the trees and water running down the fountain. It's starting to get late in the day, a few hours after noon. "Well, Judith? Did you get your fill of culture today?" "Not quite. I want to see more." "Well, we could go to a wrestling show." "Actually, there is a festival taking place downtown tonight. You can see all sorts of costumes, and live music." "Really? Ya, we should go!" "I'll contact Keramon and have him pick us up." "You know, you really shouldn't use your Digimon as a driver." "Keramon's cool with it. He will be here in no time." _____________________
Drac and Keramon watch as the gang finishes up at the temple. Drac mentions that this isn't a good time to pull a prank, as they would be easily detected. Neither of the Virus types were into this positive energy thing. Keramon values technology over traditions. They overhear them talking about a festival. Keramon turns to Drac and nods, signaling that this was a good chance for mischief. Shirou decides to contact Keramon. The rookie Virus receives an alert notifying him. Kiyoko hears something in the distance. Keramon realizes he might have been detected. He motions to Drac that they need to back away.
(Thinking) "This is bad! What am I supposed to tell Shirou? He's already stressed out over the boat. If he finds out the limo is destroyed, he might fly off the handle." Keramon continues to wait, not responding to the alert. He types down a message and shows it to Drac. "Should I just turn myself in and tell Shirou what happened? It wasn't our fault, but I did go for a joyride." Keramon starts to panic, nervous about fessing up to his partner. _____________________
Meanwhile, at a seedy bar and grill called the Fox's Den, a man with long black hair sits at the bar sipping his beer. A woman with blonde hair barges in and slams her hands down on the bar. "Can I get a drink, now?! It's been a rough day." The man is shocked at the woman's rudeness, and he looks up. "You think you've got it rough? I was in a car accident today." "Save your sob story for someone who gives a damn! I just want to pound a few beers and forget this day." "What's your problem? Some kind of boyfriend troubles?" "What's it to you, pretty boy?"
The bartender walks over and sets down a beer in front of the woman. The bartender offers another drink to the man, and he nods his head. "My poor car, crushed like a tin can. I'm going to be aching for weeks." "Ya, that does sound awful, but I have to lay naked with sushi on me where I work. And this guy who I totally don't like anymore saw me." The woman takes a huge gulp of beer. "I wouldn't have a problem letting strangers see my perfect body. My skin is flawless, and I'm got gorgeous abs." "Well good for you, powder puff. What's your name, handsome?" "My name is Red Flunow, leader of the Handsome Boys. I was driving by myself, when all of a sudden a limo hit me."
Both of them take another sip of beer. "The name's Sal, just don't call me Sally, or I'll cave your nose in. Hey, I know someone who's always driving a limo around. Stupid Dante and his creepy friend Shirou." "Wait, you know those jerks?!" "You've met em? They are a couple of nerds." "I've had my run-ins with them, unfortunately. Someone should teach those fools a lesson." "Ya, put those losers in their place." A man wearing a long jacket leaning against the wall flips a coin over to the bar to get their attention. The coin bounces off the bar and lands in Sal's beer. "Did you say Shirou?"
