Digital Brunch (Katsura/invite)

Post by Katsura Ise on Dec 20, 2017 16:59:53 GMT
Katsura had to giggle a bit at Ryu for not knowing his sushi, this made him a slightly funny foreigner as she assumed this was common knowledge and not something you'd ask about. "It's sushi, silly." As it turns out, Ryu apparently did not know about sushi for real? "Rainbow is like California but with sashimi, avocado, sea bass, hamachi, tuna and salmon on top. Maki is just the rolls in my opinion. And nigiri, sigh... is just a piece of fish plastered on top of rice." "A delicious piece of fresh salmon!" "Sigh at least I know for sure you're a cat."
Thankfully Ryu gave her an excuse not to argue with Nyao about the her choice in sushi. Instead she could talk about Luminas and the Dark Area. Besides, right now Nyao was staring curiously at Ken who seemly was flirting with her. "I have, actually. It seems heaven is a real place in the digital world. Though it was very oppressive to look at at the time I came. Good luck trying to get away with as little as looking at an angel the wrong way or heaven forbid you jaywalking." Katsura made an overdramatic gasp-expression when she mentioned jaywalking to hammer in her snark about how Luminas felt more like an oppressive regime than the holiest of the holiest place in the world. Overhearing Takeshi, Katsura pointed at a nearby restaurant not very far away. "It's right there."

The group continued walking towards the restaurant and as they walked katsura answered Ryu's question. Ryu was really intrested in sushi, to the point where you can see his eye widen as he hears the answers to his questions. "Mmm, that sounds tasty. I wish I had sushi that day, well what happened was okay I guess. We made some friends which is always good" Ryu said with a huge smile on his face "oh yeah and one acquaintance" Ryu said as the smile faded faster than you would imagine "ah sorry you must be lost, we met some nice people on the way to the sushi place, there names were Dante, kiyoko, Judith and also Shirou but whatever. They were nice, and making friends who know about the digital is always good." Ryu went on and on, once he starts talking about something he likes he can be hard stop.
Ryu was talking so much that Takeshi went on bystander mode, silently looking around at the city of digimon. A few days ago this place freaked him out now its a common place to him, like he was going to the mall, life can be strange at points or at least that what he was thinking. Then he spotted a humanoid digimon who was wearing green, the digimon was looking around which made Takeshi suspicious, but he sadly lost sight of that digimon.
Back to ken, who was greeted by a curious look. This was not how he imagined things would go, the unblinking "cute" Eyes of nyao is giving him a weird vibe, it's almost unnerving. He then stutters a little bit before taking his eyes off of her, "uh-so how long do you know Kat ?" Ken said, trying to cut the tension.
Katsura then joked about how strict luminas can be, the three of them laugh "come on now it can't be that bad. Next you are going to say littering is a crime punished by imprisonment" Ken said as he was laughing loudly. While it was funny, Takeshi knew there was some truth to that. In fact he clearly remembers K a friend also having negative feelings on luminas, which made it more interesting to him.
Katsura then notifies the group that the place is there, not so far now. Ryu and Ken stomachs grumbles a little bit, they both look at each other and laugh "I guess we are really hungery" as they laugh about the suspicious looking green digimon, it was a petermon. Bumped into Ryu giving him a weird looking map "Take this, if anybody asked you never saw me" and with that he disappeared.
Takeshi Ryu and Ken looked at the map of a beach, the three of them had a lot of questions that will never be answered. "Uh what is this, an X ? Is this a treasure map ? " Takeshi said as he was rubbing his chin, "hey what do you guys make of this " Takeshi said as Ryu handed the map to Kat. "Hey if it is money we are keeping half, okay ?" Ken said with one thing in his mind, money.

Ryu was rambling a lot about sushi but just when Katsura was ready to go auto-pilot, she heard 2 names that caught her attention. Katsura looked at Ryu for a second. "Dante?" Ever since her adventure in the Dark Area, Katsura had been trying to find out who Dante was and why Piedmon was so obsessed with him. Maybe this group knew something about it? Well she was not going to reveal all her cards on her hand this soon, still it was easy to read enough into Katsura's face that the name "Dante" triggered her. A sign of how Katsura had adjusted to the digital world to a highly disturbing level was how a humanoid digimon with green clothes did not surprise her the slightest, nor did a SkullGreymon who had to pass them in order to turn left while Katsura should walk straight. Katsura just nodded and let it pass like just another citizen.
Meanwhile Nyao had a conversation with Ken, who seemed disturbed by her eyes even though they were more or less regular cat-eyes. Nevertheless he had decided to break the ice by asking how long she had known Katsura. "Over a year I suppose, as I was hatched I realized Katsura had been sleeping with my egg to keep me warm." Katsura blushed. "Nyao... Ugh don't tell strangers that part it's... It's... It... Is embarrassing!" Katsura said trying her best not to let her stuttering get the better of her. It didn't help that Nyao was smiling at how cute that story was from her point of view.
The best way to answer Ken's comment about littering in Luminas was by not laughing at his joke. Instead Katsura held a serious grimace filled with pity to inform him that yes, it's that bad. Afterwards Ken was stopped by the digimon in green and Katsura and Nyao ended up having to comment on the map with the X. So Katsura spent the remainder of the time reading and examining the map.

As the gang walked, Takeshi was tired to the point that he let out a particularly loud yawn as he covered his mouth. Everything was normal, Ryu was talking about their new friends as he usually gets super excited when he makes friends. But something slipped by Ryu and Ken, Katsura's expression changed to something that resembled anger. What was it about Dante that enraged ? He seemed like a normal, but they do not know him well enough. For all they know he could have been a bad person. But Takeshi decided to take a mental note for now, this seemed like an interesting conversation point for later. In the end both individuals could turn out to be a bad person.
Takeshi was caught off guard by the large skull greymon that passed them by, he was able to stay calm due to the fact that rest of the town were also fine including his partners Ryu and Ken. So he was fine with that, his mind mostly occupied with the map, a lot of possibilities went through his head.
Back to ken who seemed to have broken the ice with nyao, gets an answer he did not expect. "Aww, thats nice. We hatched moments before meeting Takeshi, it was a hectic day in the dragon valley. " Ken said grinning, remembering that day.
Ryu on the other hand awaited Kat's response, wondering if she can identify what seemed like a city on the beach. "So, do you know where this place is?"

Katsura was brought out of her focusing on the map by Ken who mentioned something called the dragon valley. She looked up at Ken intrigued by the comment. "Dragon... Valley?" Katsura repeated, as Nyao looked around nervously mimicking a signal for Ken to change subject. "No where in particular, just forget about it." Nyao's behavior, unfortunately made Katsura even more curious But it also revealed that a part of the explanation of why Katsura could be so calm about the digital world, namely that Nyao had conveniently 'forgot' to mention certain places that clearly are not suitable for picnics and friendly conversations, even the dark area itself sounds less dangerous when you consider that Nyao is already attuned to those forces. Speaking of places Katsura may or may not know, Ryu asked her to identify a city near a beach on the map. Katsura pointed to an odd island around that beach that was clearly man-made. "I think that's the PROFIT headquarter over there, so maybe that's whitewater city or something."

Takeshi, Ryu and Ken were all suprised at Katsura's reaction. It was like she does not know the area and judging by Nyao's quick and dismissive response they are probably right. The trio gave each other a quick glance, as they agreed not to talk to her about it. The only way they got out of it safely was because of K and even then their lives were almost forfeit. The gang then quickly moves on to the next topic.
"Profit, we know some people who are part of the organization. Right guys?" Ken asked as he was trying to remember.
"Yes we do, Colin, Luke and bellamy are from Profit." Takeshi said as he replaced the lollipop in his mouth with a cola flavoured one.
"That right, they told us that when we went to rustport." Ryu said as he extended his arm as he wanted to reclaim the map from Katsura.
"All right then its settled, we should go and ask them about it. " Ken beamed, he could smell adventure and he was not going to let it go.
"I do not know, maybe we should wait before we do something like that. I mean the situation seems pretty suspicious, and we know how dangerous this place can be. So how about the treasure hunt on hold for now, and get some grub. "
"I agree with Takeshi."
"Aww, well sure then"
"All right with that settled, lets eat some sushi. I assume this place is like a conveyer belt sushi place back in the human world, or is it different ?"

Now Katsura was getting very curious, she decided to read the map but this time she noticed that a canyon in the west was, indeed, named the Valley of Dragons. However as much as Katsura wanted to push others for information, as much resistance did she find from not only Nyao but from everyone else too. Katsura made a sigh as she gave up trying to argue about this. Nyao was thankful for that knowing that a valley of Dragons would most likely contain dragons. But enough of that apparently Takeshi and Ken knew about PROFIT and Colin was a member.
"Colin? Where did I hear that name?" "He was our ride to Luminas." "Oh, airblimp guy? "Yes... Sigh that's his name." He's a member of Profit now? Well good for him, I guess."
Katsura was so caught up in the conversation that she didn't think when Ryu reclaimed the map. Nyao meanwhile was more suspicious, a map suddenly shows up from a random stranger? That sounds literally too good to be true if she wasn't a mega that would be completely off limit. "Remember, this is one those places." "Yes-yes I know the drill "no dangerous places without mega level". We can worry about it after we have eaten. I could do running sushi." "Dips for the monter seat." "Sigh, if you sit there at least let some fish escape for our others to eat."

Takeshi yawned once more, at that moment he was dead tired but he decided not to talk about it until they finish eating.
But then Kat says something that catch the interests of the trio, she calls colin air blimp guy ? " wait a minute did he mention that before ?"
"No, I do not think so. I do remember him saying that he has a method of transportation before, but I could be wrong. "
"Nah I am pretty sure bellamy mentioned it, or was it luke agh Now I forgot" the trio went on about the subject a little, slightly forgoting about the intriguing and mysterious map.
Until they heard nyao giving out instructions, "actually, Katsura and nyao. We are not going anywhere, after our meal I want to go back to the human world and catch some sleep. But we would more than happy to inform you when we make our treasure hunt. Does that sound good ?" He asked out of politeness really, he is going to go sleep no matter what her answer might be.
"Yeah, you guys should totally come with us then, the more the merrier. " ken said grinning.
"I agree besides, you two seem more than capable to hold yourselves"
The gang then enter the restaurant and sit down waiting for the food to pass by.

Katsura felt that she had surprised Takeshi, or worse maybe saying something wrong? She couldn't tell if this was appropriate behavior but at least she felt certain that Colin was the one with a blimpmon transportation service. Something that did surprise her, however, was finding out that Takeshi and his partners weren't going to follow the treasure map, since this was just a minor thing all Katsura did was lifting her elbows up in a shrug. "Suit yourself, I guess?"
Nyao was meanwhile relieved over knowing that Katsura was not going to endanger herself by going on a wild goose chase, especially one which so obviously was a trap. This also meant Nyao could look forward to the sushi instead. Katsura followed the gang inside the restaurant while carrying Nyao, in there she kept her word to Nyao by placing her to the seat closest to conveyor belt and the sushi. She immediately took a plate of Wasabi and picked ginger to share with Katsura, while Katsura poured soya up in Nyao's plate and then her own. Katsura then took a small chunk of Wasabi and mixed it in her soya.

Takeshi had many reason not to go to the location specified in the map, first of all he does not trust katsura, second of all they do not know how strong nyao is, third in the case of kat and nyao betraying them Takeshi is not sure if they are strong enough to survive on there own. But he used the most mundane reason, to avoid causing trouble. And for the most part it seemed like his decision was on spot, Kat did not ask further questions and neither did nyao which was the best scenario.
Ken let out a dissapointed sigh, he really wanted to go but he did not want to make takeshi tired.
The gang then began to eat, Takeshi was a little peculiar on what dishes he picked, Ryu on the other hand made some gusses and got some pretty tasty stuff. Ken just grab whats in front of him, eating whatever came first.
"So, I kinda want to know whats the deal with you and dante do you know each other ?" Takeshi asked with a smile on his face.

Katsura had picked mini-maki for herself, to no one's surprise Nyao was taking every nigiri came their way. Nyao was about to put action behind her words about separating the fish from the sushi, Katsura knew that was a rude thing to do. Oddly enough Katsura did not seem to get that those were appetizers at best and that 10 of them doesn't count as a meal. Luckily, Nyao knew that. "Katsura, please." Nyao said overbearingly, Katsura sighed and with an annoyed facial expression she started making meals at an appropriate size. While they were eating, Takeshi decided to break the ice by asking about her connection to Dante. Katsura swallowed her food and collected her thoughts. "Umm it's kinda a long story actually. Basically Piedmon is a very nice digimon despite his rough edges but for some reason Dante is mean to him. I just want to know who he is and why he could hate Piedmon so much." "Hehe that's Katsura for you, one day you save her life and the next day she goes out of the way to help in every way she can think of."
If only Takeshi knew how far Katsura is willing to go for those she cares about.

Takeshi, Ryu and Ken were each going at it in a different way. The first one to eat too much was ken "phew, I am full. But man this sushi thing is deleicous we should do that again. Oh wait no next time lets eat ramen, actually no takoyaki, or maybe pizza "
"Uh, one of things is not like the others ken. Anyways I agree with him this is good, now I know why you love it takeshi."
"Told you so, and sure ken I know a great ramen place back in shibuya. " Takeshi said as he was still gulping down food like a mad man.
"Huh, thats weird. Dante was nice when he met him, well compared to shirou. I will be lying if he was not mildly suspicious, but all in all I do not see him as the type of person to do that. Now his partner is definetly a jerk and so is his friend, maybe they are the ones that made him do that. But hey I do not know what I am talking about probably."
Ryu was happy to know that katsura likes to help people back "yeah, I always say its important to repay a favour. Sadly not a lot of people are like that, its good to know they still exist "
"Anyways, this piedmon you sure he did not do anything wrong to dante ?"

Katsura silently ate her sushi in a polite yet rather timid way. It was clear that table manners and the likes were receiving high respect to her though it was easy to get the impression that Nyao was the one pushing Katsura to eat beyond what would amount to a baby potion what's which Katsura not reaching out for anything or asking until Nyao directly addressed the situation. Good intentions and all but it was obviously not steaming from Katsura's appetite as much as Nyao worry for her well-being. It surprised Katsura to find out that Dante too was nice since he made a bad first impression, that could easily be read in her surprised eyes during Takeshi's defense. Then Ken spoke up about whether Piedmon did something to Dante. "Piedmon saved my life." And that's it, apparently. Katsura treated the situation as if that sentence singlehandedly allowed her to win the debate, which in hindsight tells a lot about the inner working of Katsura's mind.

Takeshi, ate his food silently not drawing any attention he enjoyed food. Ryu followed Takeshi, to some extent its his first time eating sushi. Ken was relaxing he finished eating a while ago. He awaited kat's response , he was not so sure about this piedmon fellow.
"Oh, I don't know what to say.......sorry I ever doubted him. But that does not make sense. " ken looked sorry, he felt ashamed even if a little bit.
"Huh, I guess that means dante's a jerk. " oh Ryu, you simple dragon, you do not have to paint the with a simple black or white color scheme.
"Wait, that isn't necessarily the case. So I am led to believe that Dante and peidmon know each longer than you and peidmon right ?" Takesh has taken a lot of interest in the situation, especially since he knows dante personally.

Remember that Katsura had declared her sentence an argument that couldn't be defeated and hearing Ken and Ryu coming along just encouraged her sudden self-importance. Nothing beats everyone agreeing with you, right? Nyao meanwhile once again pushed Katsura to take another potion on her plate, this was relatively easy in this situation. Only Takeshi seemed to question Katsura's claims by asking whether Dante had known Piedmon longer than Katsura had known him. "That's not important, I can feel it in my heart. Piedmon is a Digimon and he had done nothing but being kind to me and yet Dante just calling him Bozo. Sure he tries a little hard to get Lilithmon to notice him but nobody is perfect." Already sensing where this is going and how Takeshi is going to react, she began to whisper in his ear: "Pst Katsura doesn't believe in evil Digimon period."
