Tink's Tropical Paradise~ (open)

When something new catches Haru's eye, she was the type to immediately drop whatever she was doing and investigate. She was always open to new avenues in life... and well, the Digital World was almost oversaturated with new sights. When it came to the fantasy-like environments or even more stylized real-world style areas, there wasn't really a single thing that wasn't making Haru "ooh" or "aah" in wonder.

The gogglehead-wearing dork was wandering aimlessly around the resort isle-like area of the pelago, her eyes widened in wonder at both the briny ocean-air and the breathtaking view of the Digital World's ocean not far off from the seaside town. She was still garbed in her regular attire, not exactly tourist tier yet. "Tawna, I can't believe your world is this pretty! I mean... This is like the kinda place I've DREAMED going to!"

Trailing by the girl (somewhat slowly and grumpily) was a Meicoomon, a rather dull look on the Champion's face, a sunhat haphazardly placed on their head (and not particularly willingly). It was somewhat clear they didn't share their tamer's ethusiasm. "Yeah. Sure is. When do we go home?"

Despite the feline's negative attitude, Haru didn't seem too phased, her attention drawn to a restaurant. "Aww, you need to cheer up... How about we just go some grub? Cats like food right?" she asked, wondering how Digimon cuisine tasted...

Begrudgingly, Tawna seemed to relent at the comment about food, sighing as she followed Haru to the quaint little restaurant. Haru straight up takes a seat down (which could potentially be unfortunate for a certain tiny fae-like Digimon, she had not bothered to look at said seat), Tawna hopping onto another nearby seat.

Haru paused sitting down as she jolted slightly hearing a small voice call desperately out to her, she turning around to see a tiny human-like Digimon with bright-yellow insectoid wings. "O-oh god! I-I'm sorry!" she immediately apologized, having just realized she came very close to just sitting on the poor fae girl.

Tawna's pessimistic attitude seemed to slightly lighten up, the feelers by her neck twitching slightly as the slightest of coy cat smiles appeared on the maine coon's face. "You need to watch where you sit human. I saw her easily."

"Th-then why didn't you tell me if you KNEW she was there?!" the human girl exclaimed, a bit taken aback by how callous her partner was. She almost SAT on this girl here!

"Because, I thought it'd be funny."

Haru could only let out a sigh (taking another seat down) as she glanced down at the small faerie Digimon, an empathetic look on her face. "I-I'm so sorry... I legit didn't see you! It's my fault there..."

Haru's face was flush from embarassment, not only for almost flattening the poor girl (so small...), but also due to her partner's rudeness. The moment she saw the fae wince up and begin crying though, her embarassment turned into justified anger directed at the feline. "Tawna! Apologize now!"

Tawna actually seemed taken by surprise by her tamer's reaction, it being among the first times they've seen her genuinely upset. "Wh-what? I didn't do anything though."

"It was still really rude! She could have been hurt if she had not spoke up!" Haru exclaimed, clearly quite furious with the cat. Tawna was... a work-in-progress when it came to proper manners. She was about the only one they ever seemed to be not openly hostile or mischevious towards.

The Meicoomon's face seemed to wince, their cross-eyed pupils darting around slightly as they eventually sighed. "... Ugh." they mutter before glancing down at the Tinkermon, the words coming out of their mouth sounding very forced. "I'm sorry."

Haru could only let out a sigh directed towards the Champion level. "We're gonna to have to work on that sincerity of yours." she half-heartedly comments before glancing back at the small fae. "Of course I would not! I mean... I'd imagine it'd be painful! I mean, even though I am not that heavy... or wait, am I?" she exclaimed, but soon grew sidetracked as she seemed to for a moment check her figure...

Tawna could only let out a shrug.

"I'd be disappointed if it did." Tawna somewhat snidely commented, though she was not lying about that. Any Digimon that was at least a Rookie should be at least fine just beeing sat on... by a human no less.

Haru sighed slightly, glancing down at Tink. "I'm sorry, Tawna's not bad... but she has difficulty with people." Haru apologized, admittingly quite aware of her partner's rather anti-social nature. They somewhat reminded of herself, back when she was not quite as nice a person... If someone like herself could improve as a person, she hoped that even Tawna could as well.

She couldn't help but smile at just how GODDAMNED cute Tink was acting, happy to meet a friendly face. It seemed that not every Digimon was exactly "nice" to humans such as herself... and well, she honestly craved attention like potential friendships whenever possible. Digimon were kinda just like humans after all... well not really, but she disgressed. "It's alright! I think if I were in your position, I'd also had been scare out of my mind!" she spoke, offering Tink a hand to offer a handshake... before realizing how stupid that was and instead changed it to merely offering a finger. "Anyway! My name's Haru, and that's Tawna! To be honest, I'm really new to the Digital World and Digimon in general... you all are so cool-looking!" she happily greeted Tink (Tawna simply adjusting their vision to the side in an apathetic manner), smiling gleefully. "What kind of Digimon are you Tink? I know like Tawna is like... a Maykuumon?"

"Meicoomon. Champion level." The feline swiftly corrected Haru before turning their attention away.

"Y-yeah... Meicoomon. Still not really sure about the whole level thing." Haru could not help but huff, a slight look of bemusement at her partner's grumpiness.

Haru nodded happily, smiling at perhaps her half-foot friend. "You ARE cool! In our world, fairies are just a myth... It's like every little girl's dream to meet a fairy!" she giddily spoke, a bit of nostalgia washing over her as she thought about little Haru. She would have been screaming her head off in excitement if she knew that her own little dreams and fancies would in a way come true in the far future.

Then came a rather... interesting statement from Tink. "A- another life?" Haru stammered, somewhat skeptically. She understood Digimon were very weird, but to THAT degree? That seemed a bit absurd... even for Digimon. "Are you telling me Digimon have past lives?"

Tawna while had been silent for the most part, she seemed slightly more interested in the conversation. "Well... yes. When we Digimon expire, we simply turn to data. Our data if it isn't deleted or absorbed eventually then reforms into a Digi-egg, from which we are then reborn." the feline calmly spoke, her feelers seeming twitching about as if in interest despite the Meicoomon's blank face. "Is that not humans how reincarnate?"

Haru seemed to deadpan, that information being very surreal... adding more the strangeness of this world and it's inhabitants. She shook the feeling away, glancing back at the two. "Uhh... no? I mean, there's never been anything to indicate that we reincarnate? I mean... we don't exactly hatch out of eggs."

Tawna just seemed to squint at Haru judgmentally. "Gross." she spoke before turning her head around, noticing a Depthmon waiter lurking nearby inside the building they were outside of. "Haru, I was promised food. Order us something."

Haru could not help but laugh a bit awkwardly, perhaps simply because her "trick" wasn't really intended to be a trick. Guess it works the other way on both ends... There didn't seem to be a lot either side really knew much about the other. "Hehe ~ Well... the truth is a little more complicated, probably strange to you guys!" she chimed, glancing over at the sight of a piscean-looking Digimon that seemed to be in waiter's uniform, noticing them. How exactly they glided towards them as if swimming through the air was beyond her...

"Ah! We were not expecting visitors... It's not yet quite tourist season yet." The Depthmon spoke in a feminine voice, curtseying towards their table. "Welcome to the White Whamon. How may I start you gals off? Drinks?" they spoke as they passed a couple of menus to everyone (and conveniently a teeny tiny-sized one for Tink) and soon pulled out a notepad and pen.

"Uh... fruit punch sounds good!" The girl spoke, the waitress etching it out in their notes.

"Beer." Tawna dully added in, earning her both a weird look from Haru and a slight glance from the Depthmon (though it was hard to tell their expression underneath their mask). "I AM a Champion level." they reiterated slightly irritably, the Depthmon seemingly shrugging accepting this answer as they jotted it down.

"We offer both options. If you are interested, I recommend our passionfruit tea... grown across the islands of the archipelago. A very exotic flavor in it's own right." The Depthmon suggested, nodding at the Tinkermon's ramblings. "Let me start you off with some chocolate milk though and give you some time to think." she spoke before swimming back to the inner part of the restaurant.

With that, it was back to the three of them. Haru let out a slightly sleepy yawn, having been walking all afternoon. "Ohhh...! Uh, we took the train to the Digital World." she began to try and answer Tink's question.

"Trailmon." Tawna corrected.

"Err, yeah! The Trailmon actually! There's like a Trailmon station back in like the mainland here and back at my city in my world. The one in ours though is hidden though... I guess because Digimon aren't actually known by everyone. I think only humans like me can access the one to my world though..." she began to explain, a bit thankful that fortunately the Trailmon rides were free to-and-from the Human and Digital World.

"Not that it stops all Digimon from reaching your world by... other ways." Tawna quietly added, their tail flooping about anxiously as their attention was primarily directed to her menu.
