John wasn't entirely buying Talia's story when she spoke about the contents of her bag. But it didn't matter to the man. She had every right to be cautious and secretive, especially with potential eavesdroppers in the vicinity. "Don't worry," John assured them with a hint of a smile, "You'll both be completely safe."
It wasn't long before John arrived at his desired location. It was a relatively small park, secluded from the bustling city life. Green blades made up the surface of the park with winding stone paths paved across the ground. The trees that dotted the area were just starting to bloom with the change of the season. Satisfied, John stopped and turned to look at his new acquaintances.
"This will do," he mused, glancing down at his partner with a determined nod and a smile. The canine nodded back, and after a moment, his body shimmered and dispersed, revealing a saurian creature with emerald eyes in the dog's place. "This is a Digimon," John explained with a warm expression.
"Hello!" The Agumon politely addressed. "My name's Casimeir. I'm an Agumon! It's nice to meet you!"

The blonde chuckled and shrugged. "Probably cause I'm just starting out I guess, I recently got promoted from intern to junior programmer. Plus its about how you market yourself, and I'm not really a people person." Nor was she looking to become famous, she just wanted to keep cosplaying and working so she could buy groceries, pay rent on time and splurge on the occasional exclusive figure, okay maybe several figures, and the occasional prop. "And I'm no prize fighter myself, but I carry around a mace key ring, got it?"
Upon Agumon revealing himself, Talia stared in shock, squeaking a bit. "Kinda obvious but...are you a dinosaur? Oh my god, I love dinosaurs, when I was a kid I asked for a fossil digging kit one Christmas but got a Barbie doll instead, ugh! But this is like so so much better than some plastic tool kit, what a cutie you are!" He wasn't just a dino, he was a small dino at that which made him ten times more adorable and very cuddly looking. "And those eyes! Sorry this is just...well, I guess surreal shock and a mix of my childhood wishes." In fact she practically seemed to forget there were two more digipets in her bag until two purple and pink heads peered out. "A new friend!" The twins with their lack of tact pounced toward the Agumon, one landing on his head, the other on his back. "Ugh, no manners I swear! Anyway, guys...this is Moonmon and Koromon, don't be fooled by their cute faces." Giving them a stern glare, the blonde snapped her fingers like a military general in an attempt to call the twins back. "Koromon, Moonmon, come over here this instant!"
Unfortunately the executive order didn't go as planned, the pair too interested in the dinosaur to listen to their tamer. With a dramatic sigh, the girl facepalmed like an exhausted parents. "They're free to a good home by the way if anyone is interested."

Fortunately it was not a terribly long walk John led her and Talia, just a city park that was away from the hustle and bustle of Scramble Crossing. It was actually a pretty nice-looking place, better than say some distant, shady alleyway a more pessimistic her would expect. Haru really had no clue what to have expected at the time when John's canine companion became a bit... less canine.
Okay, a LOT less canine.
She really did not know what to think at the time as the talking, yellow-skinned dinosaur named Casimeir introduced himself; Talia gushing over how adorable they were. Two other peculiar (more limb-less heads if anything) creatures popped out of her bag, cementing the surreal experience Haru was having right now. She was more or less just silently staring at the sight, her eyes wide open as she was attempting to comprehend all of this.
Her mind came up with the only reasonable conclusion it could devise... Clearly this wasn't real! It was just a lucid dream or something like that... The helmet-wearing girl could not help but let out a hearty laugh, smiling as she shook her head. "Ohhh... Ehehe ~ I get this now! You guys almost tricked me for a moment! Here I was thinking I was ACTUALLY out and about! None of this can be real!" she responded, not seemingly too bothered by this revelation of hers. "I'll have to write this all down in my dream journal when I wake up... this is really cool!"
False delusions aside from Haru's end, the ominous presence that the Digimon may notice seemed much closer; it giving off a presence of anger or irritation with Casimeir's unveiling of his true form. A sharp eye may catch the small shape of something dart from one bush to another.

John and Casimeir were relieved by Talia's reaction. It was just as well, seeing how she had some Digimon of her own. But Haru's response was...Unexpected. But was it so unnatural to believe Digimon were just a dream?
Casimeir was much too distracted by the pair of In-trainings who jumped him. But he didn't mind one bit! In fact, he was ecstatic to be making new friends. John too was preoccupied with the scene, smiling to himself while the new relationship began to blossom.
Now that events were settling down, Casimeir had time to answer Talia. "Heh, don't worry about it, Talia. The little guys are fine, honest! But yes. I am technically a dinosaur."
"It's not a dream," John chimed to reassure Haru. "If it was, don't you think the smell of coffee would have woken you up?" His soft smile showed that he was being honest. "There are creatures that exist in the world called Digimon, short for Digital Monsters. And the fact that you have a Digivice means that you'll be getting your partner soon. Either as an egg or in rare cases, already hatched."

"Tch, girlfriend, I wish this was a dream." If anything it was a daily nightmare with these two around - okay so maybe that was a hair overdramatic, they were sort of...cute she guessed, definitely cuter than human babies but just as annoying and (thankfully) potty trained, or so it seemed, did they actually...? Ugh gross, she didn't wanna think about that right now. Note to self: search for hidden small presents around the house later. "Don't smother him now." The twins had taken to nuzzling against the Agumon, purring like small kittens greeting their parent. "Excuuuuse me, I'm a girllll, a lady at that!" Talia couldn't help but giggle at Moonmon's cute little corrective sass. "You're not a lady, you're nothin' but a sister!" The little queen did not like hearing that and proceeded to pounce on her brothers head, knocking him off the Agumon. "OWWW! Talia said you're not supposed to start fights!" She scoffed at the fruitless snark, quickly implying that he was the one who'd triggered it. "Ladies do not start fights, but they can finish them!"
For once, Talia found them adorable and not so (fully) embarrassing, scooping the pair up into her arms. "Okay, I think thats enough sweets for you two for the day, you're just about bouncing off the walls!" They were? The pair looked at her oddly, the two newbies of the human slang failing to pick up that it was a non literal expression, so much so they spoke in a very matter of fact tone. "No we're not, you're holding us!" Yet again she snickered, petting their heads. "But uhh yeah John is right - I haven't even fully come to understand it myself, only that these two realized from a computer, it's a bit of a long story actually; my apartment isn't that far from here, maybe that would be a better place to speak? I feel like convos in alleyways always end bad in movies...I can make us fried eggs or something."

"Pfft... Nonsense! I mean, come on... You two are saying that these lil' guys popped out of the internet or something? That's a load of hooey and you know it. I mean, I know dreams get weird and all, but you guys should at least try to make it sound realistic. I mean, no offense... but uh, those are some pretty bold claims you guys are throwing out." she ended up responding while glancing down at these Digimon, trying to act cool and in-control... but the looks John and Talia were giving her seemed way too realistic for her to stay confident for long.
It was just a small nagging feeling, but it was enough for Haru's smile to falter. She glanced at Talia as they ended up rounding up the babies, looking a little less confident now.
There was no way this could be real... could it? She sincerely doubted that this was anything but a dream, but now she wasn't as sure. Experimentally, the girl did the tried and true method of checking to make sure you weren't just in a dream... pinching her arm. HARD. She visibly winced as a sharp pain made her alert, her breathing going a little fun as she realized she wasn't waking up in her pajamas, freshly-awoken from a slumber.
She stared at the others, a look of bewilderment on her face as practically her view on reality seemed to fall apart, one piece at a time. She frankly did not know what to even think now... This revelation itself more or less just numbed her head entirely, preventing her from being able to think clearly right now.
Were they going to move somewhere else again? Frankly, at this point Haru was more or less alright with that. She... had a lot of questions. A LOT of question. "... I... I guess we could? Sorry, but just kinda trying to... I dunno. Adjust myself to this?" she ended up awkwardly speaking to Talia as she blunk twice, unsure what else to even say.

John eyed the two girls, mainly remaining concerned about Haru's oncoming existential crisis. Perhaps it was better to retreat to a more comfortable environment. "That sounds wonderful, Talia. It would be better for everyone if we can all sit down and relax. I can answer any questions that you guys have when we arrive there. In the meantime..."
Casimeir stifled a warm chortle from the attention of the younger twins. "I'm excited to see what you'll both become when you Digivolve. Maybe you'll become an Agumon like me, Koromon!"

"Don't worry you're not alone - as someone in the science field it's frustrating to me too. I'm so used to everything having a reasoning behind it, a logic, and this one I can't quite explain, so the only I can tell you is try not to...question it too much for right now, it'll save you from a headache for sure - personal experience with that one." Maybe a formal introduction would break the ice? She whistled for the twins, wondering if Agumon would be happy to have the little pests away from him. "You and you, over here now!" Talia sounded like a Military disciplinarian giving orders to underlings. They hopped over, the blonde scooping them up in her arms. "Meet Moonmon and Koromon, hope you're not scared - they're more afraid of their own shadows than you are of them, lets put it that way. I figured maybe formally introducing you would make this easier."
Wait a minute - Carlos had one, this John guy had one, how come she was stuck with two? Hmm, maybe she could sell one & buy the new Moon Ranger figure with the funds...there'd be plenty of people who'd want these things right? Well technically that was slavery, but hey she never said she sell to someone abusive! "And if all else fails, think of them as unusual looking pets!"

Honestly, at this point Haru had to agree with Talia in regards to just shoving all her questions off to the side. That in general at the moment just seemed way easier for her psyche until they get to Talia's place. "Yeah... you know what, that's honestly a waaaay better idea right now.... least for me.. I'm really good at not thinking shit when I want to." she ended up commenting as she placed her palm on her forehead and rubbed it briefly. "I mean, I'm not scared of them... just really confused. I guess I just never really thought to see something like them ever." she added, glancing down at Koromon, Moonmon, and Casimeir.
It was still extremely weird even just looking at them. They all had this sort of... cartoonish-look to them all. Proportions that no regular animal could have. That alone was a very weird point... not to mention the fact they could talk and all.
Either way, Haru was ready to get moving as soon as possible. The quicker they could get to a spot where they could talk about all of this garbage, the better.

"Okay, so it's agreed!" John folded his arms and flashed a friendly grin. "Just lead the way when you're ready, Talia."With John's sentiment out of the way, Casimeir made sure to activate his disguise once again for the trip to Talia's apartment. "If you'd like some help with the food, I'm a really good cook!"
OOC: I am so sorry for the delay and the short post. I'm tapped out on muse right now.

"Sometimes things just take a good while to process!" It was hard to say if she'd herself come to terms with the two new additions to her home. "It can be kind of scary when you've been raised to believe make-believe is make-believe, and then critters who look like they belong in a Tamagotchi come along but the best thing I've found to do is...keep an open mind, yeah." Or who knows where her sanity would have been by now - she did have to admit, it was nice to have the extra companionship around - not that she ever considered herself lonely, but it did get quiet sometimes living alone and with the twins around, it had brought in an oddly fun streak of chaos she'd been missing but didn't know it. "That'd be great, thanks!" She patted the disguised dinosaur's head, nodding a bit - normally Talia was too much of a control freak to have help in the kitchen (and also didn't believe that cooking was a two person job) but Casimeir was just too cute for her to say no! "It's just up the street, I'm on the first floor!" The building had no lobby per say but was connected to a building with a second floor walkup. "There's a backyard I can use too, it's a little small but pretty comfortable for a one bedroom! Feel free to make yourselves at home, the eggs wont take along." ( i.pinimg.com/originals/25/67/d2/2567d2b9cbc305323e93156b92ff838e.png This is her apartment btw but the backdoor leads to the yard instead of a balcony)
