New girl in the city (Open to all!)

Haru more or less was screaming internally right now as the black-haired girl was wandering aimlessly though the park, a bit of a panicked look on her face. Normally she was generally more calm and relaxed, but right now was somewhat of an emergency.

This wasn't the first time her partner has ran off on her in the middle of visiting the human world. Heck, one moment she had the Digimon in her Digivice thanks to it's V-Pet functionality... the next moment, gone. The only reason she wasn't completely freaking out was cause she knew they were always at least somewhere nearby. They refused to ever stray far enough that they'd degenerate back down to their Rookie form, so that was at least a good thing. At the same time, she didn't want them going off doing something stupid.

If there was one thing she and Tawna had in common, they tended to get into trouble... a lot.

"Tawna! Tawna! Damn it, where are ya?!" she hollered out loud, trying to catch sight of anything orange and black nearby. She spent a couple of minutes turning her head around to scan the area, failing to find the feline Digimon anywhere in-sight. Frankly, she too also was not exactly paying attention to where she was going, walking straight into another young woman. The girl's senses jolted back into reality, twitching briefly as she gazed at the person she had bumped into with a look of shock; almost having made them drop the potted plant they seemed to be carrying. "O-Oh god! I'm sorry! I-I didn't pay attention to where I was going! Ugh, I can't think straight right now!" she very quickly apologized, looking a little bit frazzled at the moment.

Haru did seem a little fidgety, but she did calm down slightly to at least see the young woman take much offense from her prior clumsiness. She sighed in relief as she gave a bit of a warm smile. "No, it's my fault too. I wasn't looking where I was going either!" she ended up responding, scratching the back of her head... though flinched slightly as she heard a second voice. The girl briefly seemed to adopt a confused look on her face, for a moment unsure where the voice came from... at least until she began to eye Miyu's pot.

It was somewhat of a wild guess, but at the same time Haru had begun to grow used to the concept that a lot of generally weird phenomenon around here seemed fairly easily explainable via Digimon. Something about Digidestined just seemed to end up magnetically pulling one another to eachother and Digimon it seems. "...? Hold up... Is there a Digimon in there?" she ended up asking, a bit of a quizzical look on her face... she briefly pulling out her own Digivice from a belt pocket as well. "Got one of these too." she ended up adding in, at least to show that she was somewhat in the know.

Regardless of answer, Haru took a deep breath; she shaking off a bit of the funky-feeling her head was experiencing right now. No time to act all weird, especially in front of a new person. "Sorry, just I've been kinda looking for... well, a friend of mine. She tends to run off and do things on her own a lot." she spoke before adopting a welcoming smile. "Haru Toriya! Welcome to Shibuya then; nice to meetcha Miyu-san!"

"It's fine! I mean, foreigners get honorifics wrong all the time! Uh... sometimes intentionally, but I try not to assume that's the case!" she laughed a bit nonchalantly with Miy, trying to at least take off some of the pressure language-wise since even she knew Japanese kinda had some weirdness to it. It wasn't the first time she has seen it happen, it wouldn't be the last either.

That aside, she actually audibly squeed as she noticed the Yuramon buried in the pot, gushing over their cuteness. As someone who has not had much experience with baby Digimon (since she never got the chance to see her own partner as a one), any oppurtunity she could get to see them in action was something that excited the girl. "Ohhh, Bloom's so cuuuute! She's a baby, right?" she ended up squeeing as she got a bit closer to look at the small plant-like Digimon.

Haru seemed slightly relieved that Miyu was offering help, especially considering how much a pain in the ass Tawna could be at times. Like any cat, they just kinda did their own thing at times... and Haru really needed all the help she could get in that regard. "Well yes actually! Her name's Tawna, and she's like... a cat. With tentacles? Yeah, that sounds about right." she ended up responding, a bit of a confused look on her face as she attempted to describe them.

As Haru briefly paused as they seemed to debate for a moment what else to say; Miyu would likely feel her pony tail suddenly being tugged on lightly. While likely difficult to tell due to the angle it was at, but turning her head slightly may allow her to spot a tiny feline-like ball of fluff about Bloom's size floating in the air, biting their hair and attempting to lightly play with it. "M e M e M e" the small spherical creature seemed to chant, though seemed to notice Haru.

Haru let out a groan of exasperation, realizing just what the tiny creature was. "Oh GOD dammit! Tawna, why THAT form?!" she exclaimed, suddenly attempting to try and grab the small creature out of the air... just barely snatching it, the Mini-Mei squirming in her hands as it struggled to try and get out of her hands. "I know you can hear me!"

Haru squeed like a little girl filled with excitment when she saw Bloom and ask if she was a baby, it seemed like it was the first time seeing one, Miyu find that weird as she thought the girl had some experience with the digital monsters


"I mean... I guess... Although she speaks rather well to be a baby" Said the chinesse girl a little confuse for the question

"No dummy! Baby is my level, it's like my most basic form, digimon can grow and evolve to diferent level and get stronger!" Explain Bloom in her usual cheerful speech

That aside that still confuse a lot the poor girl, she focus on trying to help Haru and when she describe her partner like a cat with tentacles Miyu look at Bloom again very confused

"I thought you say you were like plants..."

"I said that I was like a plant, Digimon comes in different forms and sizes!"

Miyu sighed and thought on a way to help Haru, she knew little to nothing about Digimon and find one didn't seem easy it looks more like they find you than the other way around, and she wasn't wrong about that she felt something tugging her ponytail, almost like a child playing with it or trying to call her attention.

She turned around and saw a small cat like creature and Haru was fast to catch it so she assumed was her partner, although it didn't seem like a cat with tentacles, more like a simple cat... You know without a body paws or anything besides the head and tail, it was cute tho.

And another girl appear, she was tall and have long green hair, the woman introduce herself as Alice and open her bag asking if they knew something about a strange creature she found, in the bag a little round creature with long ears (kinda like a rabit) and a smug grin was inside

"I'm Miyu Feng nice to meet you, and I believe that Dorothy it's a Digimon just like our partners" She finally let bloom out of the pot it looks like they were fine here

"HI HI! And yes, Dorothy is a Digimon just like me! Said Bloom flying around Alice bag so she could properly meet Dorothy

Dorothy's response to the two is a wave with one of her large ears and a giggle. "Yer kinda silly lookin'." It isn't clear who she's saying this to. Maybe she's just talking to everyone, an insult so mild it might as well be ineffective at best. She wiggles out of the bag, and into Alice's waiting arms, the green haired woman sighing and muttering something about being seen, but perhaps Dorothy was excited to be around other... Digimon, as they were supposedly called.

"Personally, I'm rather interested in how deep this... So-called rabbit hole goes. Not every day you encounter... Anything like this." Alice looks through her pockets briefly, and sighs. "Dorothy also came with a strange gadget... I expect you know about those just as well." She decides to not take out whatever she's reaching for, and instead run her hands through her long hair. "And yes, you don't look like the kind of person to get good answers from. Neither does Miyu." She looks to her with a slight chuckle. "But we're both new to this, so at least I know I'm not alone."

Unlike Bloom, Dorothy seems a bit touchy and overly energetic, poking at Alice every now and then... The gray Digimon soon reaching back into the bag to pull out a pen from it with her prehensile, hand-like ear, her grin only intensifying. "What's this?" She asks Alice, bobbing from side to side gently.

"That's a pen. You draw and write with it with the pointed end." Alice's statement is flat in tone and to the point, looking to the other two humans. "Are they always this curious? Dorothy's a bit of a..."

She isn't even able to finish her sentence when Dorothy slips out of Alice's arms briefly and begins scrawling on Haru's shirt, her giggling only getting more obvious, her grin that of a child who knows they're doing something bad, but does it anyways just to tease. By the time Alice grabs Dorothy, she's already managed to scribble down a thin black triangle, the black ink of the pen making it stand out on Haru's clothes.

"...As I was saying..." Alice takes the pen away from Dorothy and slips it back into the bag. "Dorothy's a bit of a troublemaker."

"Am not! Just wanna have fun!" Dorothy's response really isn't helping, but it sounds innocent enough.

She nodded in agreement towards Alice as she pulled out her own Digivice from a pocket, a standard white D-3 model with an orange grip. She still had a grip on the Mini-Mei as it squirmed vainly in her hand, looking quite anxious. Maybe she wasn't the best at this (not quite as experienced as other Digidestined out there), but she damn well would try her best to explain the gist of things.  "Your Digivice is super important. It helps your partner Digivolve, plus there is a bunch of other useful things it can do! You'll want to have this with you wherever you go. It's what makes you a Digidestined."

She smiled patiently at the two, hoping that she wasn't being too confusing. Even she didn't have all the details still when it came to all this. She felt a slight pain on her thumb (the small familiar having just bit it), flinching visibly as she accidentally let go of the Mini-Mei, it floating out of her reach as it blew a raspberry at her. Haru's patience was running somewhat low with the small creature's mischief, knowing quite damn well that her partner wasn't doing anything to stop it. "Okay, Tawna! Get these things under control, please!" she pleaded to it, as if speaking to another party here as well.

As this happening, she fails to notice Dorothy get a bit close... scribbling the black triangle on her blue-dress in the blink of an eye with the marker. A mild look of surprise popped up on Haru's face, though it did relax pretty quickly as their tamer began to scold them. "Oh it's alright. I was a troublemaker too when I was younger. My own partner is one too, though again that might be just her being a cat." she ended up responding, the Mini-Mei looking a bit grumpier with that comment. Haru did end up inspecting the small drawing on her dress, a patient smile on her face still. "I... uh, hope this wasn't permanent ink... What made ya do that little one?" she calmly spoke to both Alice, then directing her attention to Dorothy.

In regards to why they had partners, Haru's face seemed to be a little less confident. Frankly, she really still did not know why... nor did anyone else did. "I wish I could say I knew, but I don't. That's something I want to find an answer for myself, Tawna and I." she spoke, glancing back at the Mini-Mei floating nearby. "Speaking of, Tawna. Where are you anyway? You been making me worried sick."

"R i g h t  b e h i n d  y o u." the Mini-Mei suddenly spoke, earning a cautious look from Haru as she turned around herself.

Suddenly, the air behind Haru tore apart as if the space not far behind her was torn open by a blade; a wound in reality formed before everyone's very eyes. Accompanied by two other Mini-Meis; a tall (ever more so than Alice), highly feminine figure covered in orange-black fur with ominously glowing purple markings around their body came out of the void, a somewhat menacing vibe to their presence... not helped by the razor-sharp stinger that their large tail had, flicking about occasionally. They seemed to have a perpetual deadpan look to their face, they staring briefly at the newcomers, then Haru.

Despite the Meicrackmon's dark and monstrous appearence, all this did for Haru was cause the girl to place her hands by her hips and pout. "Where the HECK were you?! You just left my Digivice without telling me! And why can't you just use your Champion form like normal?" she began to berate the manticore-like Digimon (frankly a funny scene considering the human girl being a whole three feet shorter).

After hearing the word digidestined Miyu wonder if everything related to the Digital monster needed the prefix Digi or if Haru made a pun in the moment, after all with names like Digimon, Digivice, Digiworld she wouldn't be surprise if there were a Digirestaurant with Digihappy Digimeals... Thankfully she didn't say that out loud now thinking about it sounds a little silly.

Miyu was laughing at how Dorothy was having fun drawing on Haru's shirt, the little thing was cute, kinda like a little mischievious little brother cute, her laughing stopped when a rift in the space-time was open and a giant feline appear out of the void, Miyu was frozen in place she was so scared that not even a word could escape from her mouth, while internally she was screaming her lungs out.

Even Bloom buried herself in the pot out of fear, the other girls wasn't scared at all even Haru looked like a big sister that was about to scold her sibling.
