"...You didn't really scare me that much." Alice states, relaxing her grip on Dorothy, who is still in awe over just how cool she believes Tawna to be. "Okay, maybe you do scare me a bit, but I know that people would notice us being harmed if anything were to happen to us." With that rather grim, though true, fact out of the way, Alice lets out a bit of a sigh. "With that out of the way, I'm honestly relieved to see that I'm not the only one with a Digimon... Whatever they are. I have something to write about in my journal now." The green haired woman chuckles to herself, looking a bit nervous, but at the same time, comfortable. Perhaps she's just relieved she's not insane. "It's all right, you don't need to apologize..." She seems completely unaware that there's a miniature cat-ball on her head... Perhaps that's for the better.
Dorothy then looks to Miyu and Bloom. Probably the potted plant Digimon, though. "Yeah, someday you'll be just as strong as her... But I'll get there first!" The gray, large eared Digimon grins, giggling... "C'mooon, what's wrong with a lil' competition?"
"...Nothing, just keep it clean." Alice smiles a bit at Dorothy's enthusiasm and energy in general, letting the Digimon reach into her bag again and take out the same pen used previously. While Dorothy waves the pen around, Alice speaks to Miyu. "It's all right... I'm just as surprised as you are. And I just got a thought. Perhaps you and I could work together every now and then? We're both new to this, so cooperation would allow us to learn more and potentially stay safer if something were to happen. I think it'll help Dorothy, too... I get the feeling she's happy to have friends."
Dorothy makes a noise as if she's pretending to pay attention while she doodles a star on Alice's shirt before a slight grumble gets her back to the subject at hand, the pen taken away from her not long after. "Oh, yep yep! Teamwork 'n stuff!"

"HI!" Finally says snapping of her frozen state while noticing a little furrball playing with her Qipao
"I uhm... I'm sorry I might have frozen a little... You took me by surprise T-Tawna, right? I'm Miyu... It's a pleasure" Her voice cracking a little still nervous just for being around that "Furry death machine" as Haru said
"It's not fair!" Said Bloom getting out of the pot again. "You're already in training lvl... But doesn't matter I'M a plant I only need sun and water and I'll grow a lot and strong!" Said accepting the little competition made by Dorothy.
Alice got the idea of working together and helping each other, after all both girls where new to the world of digimon and besides Bloom and Dorothy looked like they would be great friends
"It would be a pleasure to work with you, I've got the feeeling that this is the beginning of a nice friendship!" She put the pot in the floor and open her arms ready to give a hug to her new friend but inmediately stop. "Uhm... I don't know if you're the type that like hugs... Or handshakes.. Or nothing... I'm new here so don't know weird this seems" She nervously laughed

Tawna nodded her head partially towards Alice, their resting bitch-face never really faultering. The green-haired woman was logical, at least to her; as someone who generally had difficulty divulging motives, it was much appreciated. "Fair enough. Stick with your partners and one day we may be on par. I believe..." she quietly spoke to the pair of humans and their infant Digimon. That was how it worked right? The human and Digimon become friends and work together to overcome obstacles. That at least was how it sounded.
Haru seemed quite relieved frankly to see the pair of slightly older women (which yes, did make her feel mildly awkward thinking about) seem to relax and began talking about working together. "That's the spirit! We all can never have more than enough friends!" she happily exclaimed, though not before shooting a slight sharp look at the Mini-Meis, who seemed to pause their mischief for now. "To be honest, while I know some stuff about Digimon; there's still a lot of questions I need answers for. I want to know why Tawna became my partner, or what my role is. These are all questions that I can't do alone, definitely."
Even though Haru knew she was not as experienced as some Digidestined, people dod seem to note that having an Ultimate level so early was pretty uncommon. Still, she wanted to believe that she could at least do something to help Alice and Miyu here. "I may not be the best at what I do, but I'd be happy to help! I bet there's still a lot of questions you guys have, and considering I was in your shoes once, its only fair for me to help!" she ended up pluckily suggesting, glancing at their surroundings briefly. "Errr... how about we go somewhere a little more secluded? I don't think the 'my friend is wearing a fursuit and has gigantism' card will help if someone sees Tawna like this." she softly suggested, patting the makeshift scarf around her neck some.

Alice's response to the rather true, if silly statement about a reasonable excuse being difficult if not impossible is a nod. "Yes. I think we'll be attracting negative attention soon..." She slowly pushes Dorothy back into the bag, the smug gray Digimon even wiggling in a little bit, as if she likes dark, quiet spaces and hiding in them. Not long after this, Alice takes out a notebook, the pen still in her hand, and opens it up, proceeding to write something down... Apparently, she's still clinging to the idea that this might not be real. That might not last much longer, but she's still holding onto it:
Not only did I meet a strange creature which I've nicknamed "Dorothy", but it seems like there's others like her. They're called Digimon. How ridiculous. First there's a limbless head with prehensile ears, then there's a plant-like fuzzball and something straight out of a teenager's most depraved fantasies. Not only that, but these things are apparently able to grow into more powerful forms, ones that are supposedly quite powerful.
What the heck is going on here? Surely, this must be some kind of dream. That's the only way I can explain some of this.
"Well, where do you suggest if we're going to head somewhere else?" Alice responds after closing her notebook, holding it in her hands carefully. "I'm new here, so I'm still learning the layout of this place... And, of course, I don't know the common hideouts for people who have... Digimon." She sighs. At least she has people to talk to now, she thinks to herself. "I have to ask, though... Where do these things come from?"

Miyu felt awkward with her arms still open and Alice just started writing something on a notebook, she sighed and grab her potted digimon again, and laugh about the coment of "I don't think the 'my friend is wearing a fursuit and has gigantism' card" that Haru made
"Did that safe card worked?" She laugh again just thinking of a scene were that scenario could happen
"Well... Bloom said that our world seemed more interesting than the Digital World, so I assume they come from that Digiworld, I wonder if there is a way to visit that world?" Miyu smiled, the whole idea of a new and different world filled with this cute lilttle critters excited her
"In any case, I agree we should look for a place more "private" lead the way Haru-chan we follow She said cheerfully and hopefully didn't screw up the honorific thing

"N-nope! Hope I won't have to though... I mean, who WOULD fall for that? I'm a LITTLE upset still about little miss thing here ditching me without telling me anything though." Haru ended up laughing slighlty about her previous statement, though did slightly glare at Tawna. Yeah, she'd prefer to not have risked an incident like that happening anytime soon.
The Meicrackmon seemed to scoff at Haru, her Mini-Meis parroting the Ultimate level's attitude. "Please. I could smell any of you humans a mile away. I'd be *dead* before I let myself be caught off-guard like that."
"Still, it was really rude of you!" the girl ended up grumpily responding to the feline, crossing her arms as she soon pushed their tendril off her neck; the appendage flipping back to the feminine beast. "Err... let me think, there's a bit of a more secluded area in the brush if you guys don't mind maybe getting a twig or two on ya."
"The fact that is even something to worry about for you humans makes me wonder how you humans even stay alive..." the Meicrackmon somewhat snidely commented, beginning to walk by the gogglehead's side as they began to try and lead the way.
It was somewhat out of the way of the normal walkway of the park; the open patch secluded by trees and brush. Curiously, in the center of this small space was a large pile of boxed snack and junk food, a now empty wooden crate discarded to the side. Haru paused in mild disbelief, she picking up a box of frosting-covered animal crackers."Wh-what's all this junk here for?" she ended up asking, though she had her... suspicions as she glanced at Tawna.
Tawna didn't even seem to even hesitate answering that question, she climbing onto the pile disconcertingly cat-like. "Stole it. From a delivery truck."
Haru's eyes shrunk into pins, you practically able to see the blood drain from her skin. "Y-YOU WHAT?! Was THAT what you were doing the past half-hour?!"
The Meicrackmon merely shrugged, a tendril wrapping around and picking up a box of Pocky. "It's not like they'll miss one box." she deadpanly spoke, not a single touch of guilt in their voice as they opened it up and stuck one in their mouth... one able to briefly get a glimpse of the razor-sharp maw of teeth Tawna had.
Haru paused as she stared at Tawna... then back to the box of animal crackers she had. In the end, as much as she didn't want to... she just kinda gave up. "... Ugh, nevermind." she dejectedly sat back down, opening the box and biting the head off a frosting-covered elephant. "I... Guess help yourselves."

Dorothy is the first of the pair of her and Alice to respond to the stolen items. "Woooooow! So cool!" she hops out of Alice's bag once again, giggling all the while and admiring the spoils. She floats slightly over to the pile, much to the green haired woman's dislike, and looks it all over. "Lookit all this stuff!"
"...Yes. It's all been taken from someone else." Alice's response is deadpan, her expression now back to that slightly judgemental glare she usually has. "I will say that this is... Undeniably impressive, though. An entire crate." Alice opens up her notebook and begins scribbling something down briefly before closing it. "That's not something you see every day. Then again, a lot of what I've seen today could qualify as that." She takes a deep breath, and sits down next to Haru. "At least we have something to enjoy. Come here, Dorothy." Alice takes one of the smaller boxes and opens it up, offering a cracker to Dorothy, who devours it as quickly as Alice had taken it out.
"C'mon! More! More!" Dorothy hops up and down, and Alice complies, slowly feeding her crackers one by one with a bit of a sigh.
"Seriously?" The green haired woman is honestly a bit surprised Dorothy is so hungry. "I guess Digimon really are like living creatures..." She shrugs, seemingly lost in thought. She's got a lot of questions, but not all of them are things that she's willing to ask about. "So, Miyu, Haru, one of you mentioned a... Separate world?" She finds the idea of another world, another universe, hidden in plain sight, utterly impossible. Such a thing would surely have become mainstream knowledge with the way "That's preposterous. This just gets crazier and crazier..." She takes out her notebook once more as the crackers in the box are finished, and begins drawing in her notebook... She's already made a little sketch of Dorothy, and is presumably planning to draw out sketches of the other two Digimon. "I'm still having trouble believing all this, hahah."

Haru lead both girls to a secluded part of the park, it was going to be hard for some one doing the normal walk by the park to find them, plus they were hidden behind a tree and some bushes, behind the bushes they saw a big wooden crate open and lots of snacks and junk food, apparently Haru's partner stole it, Miyu could only think "poor girl" but there was nothing she could do nor was her problem (and even if it was she wasn't going to argue with the big scary cat).
She sat down and pick a small box of animal crackers (hey if you can't beat them, join them) and gave a better look to the place, it was quiet and peaceful it would be a nice place to meditate (of course after cleaning it up a little), she then answer to Alice
"Well... Bloom mention the digital world, again I'm just assuming that there is another world and it's were our littlee friends come, I know it's kinda hard to believe but who am I to don't trust what a digital dandelion thing tell me?" She laugh at her own comment
She then look for Bloom, maybe she wanted an animal cracker too, comes to think of it she was quiet which given how talkative she has been all day it was weird, Miyu look at the pot and for her surprise she saw a little sprout coming out of the dirt...
Her eyes widened and a nervous smile was drawn on her face... Could it be that she picked the wrong pot and instead of a Digimon she grab a real plant?
She was starting to panic when the little sprout move and then a rounded bulb with small feets came out of the pot, it had big red eyes and her cheeks were a little pink almost like a blush, Miyu couldn't deny the cuteness of that thing but now she was wondering if she pick a pot with another digimon.
"Miyu! Miyu! LOOK! I evolve!" the little bulb talked, still cherful and squeky just like Bloom, that was a relief for the girl "I'M a Tanemon now!
"Bloom?" The chinese girl picked the digimon and hug her "OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO CUTE!!!
"Miyu please! Ugh... Can't breath... Said Tanemon while she was squished in a lovely hug

Haru did seem to awkwardly sigh, not quite liking the whole "this all being stolen" thing Alice brought back up. Still, could they even really return it now? Probably not; who knows how Tawna stole the damn thing anyway?
"They aren't lying, there is a whole nother world where these guys come from! I've been there too!" Haru spoke in regards to the Digital World's existence. She found it hard to believe at first as well, but it was definitely something that was more something to be seen if anything. "The Digital World really is kinda like our world... but it's like in the internet, and filled with these guys! They have their own cities, restaurants, stores... Its honestly super cool!"
"Dangerous as well." Tawna additionally added in, still nibbling on a pocky stick; her Mini-Meis joining in.
"Yeah... I suppose, but it's only dangerous without a partner! Safety in numbers, you know?" Haru did seem to sadly note. She didn't want to try and scare either women off from the idea of venturing there one day, for there was just so much to see.
Haru joined Miyu in squeeing over Bloom's newly evolved form, the girl dorkily gawking at them as well. "Ohhhh! She's so cute! Congratulations Miyu, Bloom! You both are one step closer to Rookie level! That's where the real fun begins!" she applauded the pair. "Man, I can only wonder what Tawna's youngest forms were like... the weakest form I've seen of her's was her Rookie level, which was... well, a dog. Yeah, I'm not sure either." she began to ramble somewhat to herself, though also as a general conversation topic. Digimon were still pretty damn weird, even to her still.
"Tiny and with no arms or legs. I hated it." Tawna did somewhat bitterly comment; they clearly did not seem to think too highly of their lower forms, and they were not afraid to show it. "I hope at the very least I will never have to resort to being thrown into that form again. I will suffer a lifetime as a Meicoomon, but anything lower is humiliating." they grumpily spoke as they began to curl up on the pile, her stinger tail flicking about occasionally. Despite the monstrous beast's humanoid appearence, they still acted awfully cat-like even then.
"Awww, come on! You were cute as Meicoomon!" Haru began to slightly rag on her partner, a bit of a playful look on her face.

Alice is rather surprised at Bloom's sudden change to a much more adorable form, and she scribbles something off in her notepad, probably an unfinished sketch of Bloom's earlier form. She does seem to be smiling again, however, perhaps finding the joy Miyu finds in how cute Bloom is now to be rather heartwarming. "That was fast. You wonder if Dorothy's pretty close to... Digivolving, too? I'm not sure."
"I hope so too! I wanna be like Tawna!" Dorothy makes a big grin, her admiration of the big, slightly grumpy cat only even greater now that she's seen them steal an entire box worth of tasty, delicious treats.
"Just don't take things too far, my little budding thief." Alice chuckles, jokingly giving Dorothy a bit of a pat on the head as she thinks over recent events. replying to Tawna. "Wait, you said you started without limbs? Hm..." So many questions. Too many, in fact. She closes her notebook, and decides to focus on everything else for now. "I have way too many questions... I suppose the answers will come to me sometime the more time I spend with my Digimon."
"Aww, c'mon! One day, I'm gonna steal... Umm..." Dorothy's mind falls flat, unable to think of anything particularly valuable in the Human World or the Digital World. "...S-Something really important! You'll see!" She boasts, her confidence bordering on a silly, impossible dream. But that's what makes it charming, really.
"Hah, one day, maybe..." Alice picks up Dorothy and places her on her lap, the green-haired woman seemingly having grown more comfortable with the concept of Digimon in the first place now that she's had some time to adjust.

Miyu finally stop squeezing Bloom to listen what Haru said about the Digital world, sound like an incredible place, the girl couldn't contain her laugh when hear that it had restaurants, looks like her assumption about the Digirestaurants were true, she wanted to visit the digital world now, but it would be a smart idea to let Bloom grow a little more
"It's not that dangerous, and besides I can protect Miyu!" Said Bloom and playfully blow some bubbles at Tawna's face
Haru also commented on how the earliest form of Tawna was a dog, and seeing now the gargantuan feline in front of her made her question something in regards to Bloom's evolutions, hopefuly and luckily she would stay as a plant and not that huge (otherwise Miyu would need a bigger pot)
"I know it would be best to wait until Bloom grows a little more, but I'm curious how do we get to the digital world?"

Haru did seem slightly put off by the cheerfulness of the Pagumon's desire to be lile Tawna. Yeah, like THAT couldn't be a bad idea. She felt like Tawna just influenced yet another cat burgular or something (she internally groaned at the mildly unintentional pun her mind just made). "Heh, well don't get over your head. Thievery isn't nice, you might hurt someone like Alice's feelings." she softly suggested to the blue-purple Digimon, glancing occasionally at Alice and their notebook.
"Likely. The Fresh and In-Training levels fresh out of the egg usually last from a couple hours to a few days at max. From there, Digimon have to put dedication to their body and will if they wish to achieve Champion level at a reasonable pace, and these requirements only grow steeper in difficulty if they wish to achieve Ultimate level like myself." Tawna meanwhile shed a light over how quick Digivolution could occur. Perhaps easy for lower stages, but power does not just lend itself to the lazy. She delicately stuck another Pocky into her maw, her stinger tail and feelers idly twitching about. Should have stolen some milk too. she lightly thought to herself before gazing at the pair of budding tamers. "... As tamers, your roles are to support your partners as you overcome obstacles that may arise before you both. Haru calls it a friendship...?" she briefly added on, struggling to say the last word.
Haru nodded, extending an arm to the Tanemon and patting them on the head (evem if they kinda were all head). "I mean, its a lil' dangerous for us humans, but I know though you'll do your best to keep Miyu safe though Bloom ~"
Haru did seem to debate briefly just how to answer transportation, since that was a kinda wild question. "Well, the train terminal back in Central Shibuya has a spot you can scan your Digivice; the Trailmon there are always happy to take people to and from the Digital World! I will warn ya though that their schedules can be REALLY messed up if you want to get back though. Good thing time goes by way slower in the Digital World." she ended up talking about the first method, plus the one she originally used. "The second one I know of is you can use a Digi-Port! You might need to have it installed for you, but its super useful for getting to and from the Digital World! Mine's kinda budget though I admit... it only works for me and Tawna, so sorry if I can't show ya." she briefly explained the second option, and her most used one at the moment. "Probably less reliable, but occasionally weird disturbances around Shibuya happen too that can suck ya in if you aren't careful. I think it kinda happens to newer Digidestined mostly, happened to my sister really recently. Boy, that was fun." she ended up kinda snarkily finishing up, not having quite the fondest memories from that day.

"...So you're saying this place is unstable, and... Holes in one world open up, leading to the other? A bit of a worrying thought, to be honest." Alice states, chuckling to herself. As for what she's got in her notebook, Haru is able to see sketches of Dorothy, Bloom and an unfinished one of Tawna, complete with small labels featuring something of interest about them. Tawna's prehensile tendrils are one such thing noted down in detail. "And yes..." She looks to Dorothy's almost perpetually smug grin, and narrows her eyes. "Nobody likes it if you steal things for no good reason."
"Aww. What if it's for a good reason?" She slumps down, only to perk back up with that comeback, something that Alice herself responds to with a sigh. "C'mon! Answer!"
"...If it's for a good reason, then yes, you can do it." The slight exasperation from Alice's voice is apparent, and she can't help but admire Dorothy's persistence. "I'll make sure Dorothy is strong enough to protect me, and if needed, the other way around. We can't always be at our peak." The green-haired woman states, running her hand through her hair before finishing up the sketch of Tawna, the rather sinister, towering feline rendered in a fair level of detail. "Back to the subject of the... Digital World, though. I find that a bit hard to believe... Then again, I guess I'll have a better opinion of it once I see it.This is a lot to take in, after all..."

So apparently the train station wasn't as normal as it looked and there is a special part where by scanning the digivice you can get to the digital world via Trailmon (probably another digimon and that just raises a couple of questions more), the second option was upgrade the digivice to carry "digi-port" that seemed like the more common way to travel, lastly a portal out of nowhere could suck you up without a warning, that last thing was something to worry but hopefully Miyu would never left Bloom alone so if that third case happen there should be no problem, Alice seemed to be interested in the digital world as well, so Miyu with an excited tone said
"We should go together! I mean safety is in the numbers and the more the merrier, we shouldn't have much problems either if we just wait a couple of days for Bloom and Dorothy to get to the next form" Miyu wanted to see the digital world and have adventures like in some kind of fantasy story or movie, a bit childish from her but hey who didn't dreamed about exploring other worlds?
The girl remained silent a couple of minutes wondering what else she could ask, and thinking about the "digi-port" bring one of the most obvious questions on the table.
"So... What function has the digivice? You know, besides opening portals and all that"

Haru was not one to normally condone theft and stealing, but there was always an exception she felt to everything. She gave a bit of a gentle smile though, happy to see everyone was perhaps actually getting along now. "They may look different, but there's a whole lot we can learn about one another. Digmon aren't so different at heart I feel."
"At the core. Digicore. We lack hearts... or a lot of human organs for that matter." Tawna corrected the girl, she tending to be the type to take things literally. To her, a heart was a muscle in human bodies that circulated blood throughout their bodies, not much else.
"I mean figuratively! I don't mean to like start some Diginatomy lesson right now!" the girl slightly exasperated responded to her partner, earning a shrug and roll of the eyes from the Meicrackmon. She was still working on getting them to see things less cover-first these days.
In regards to the validity of the Digital World and even Digimon, Haru herself sometimes had to pinch herself to make sure she was not asleep and dreaming. "It definitely is difficult to believe yeah... Sometimes, I kinda wonder to myself if this all is just some huge, elaborate dream I am having. I have only been a Tamer for a month or so, and I feel my life itself has been turned upside down. I mean, in a positive way!" she rambled for a bit, though seemed happy. She did pause as she noticed the green-haired woman's notebook, her eyes widening slightly at the detail of their work. "Holy... Alice, you draw so well! You did all that this quick?" she spoke in admiration as she gazed down at the pages... being joined by a Mini-Mei that had a Pocky stick in it's maw.
Haru backed off slightly as she grabbed another handful of animal crackers before neatly sealing up the bag and putting it back in the box. Digivice talk. She for example pulled up her own D-3, which Alice would notice is a bit slimmer in model and more resemblant Miyu's. "Your partner borrows power from you and your Digivice to help them Digivolve briefly, especially if you guys are in a crisis. Can't rely on it all the time, but it's saved my ass at least once. There's a couple of other minor features too, like a scanner! You could learn a couple things about any Digimon you meet if you do that, like their level, family class, attribute or an attack. It might be rude to do it to everyone you meet." she rattled off at least the things she did know first-hand. "You guys could give it a try now if ya want!"
