"It was just a prank! I swear! Nuddin' wrong with jokes, right?" the panicked voice of a Gazimon desperately spoke out, gasping for breath as his neck felt the cold fingers of a vixen wrap around it. Held firmly against a brick wall in an alleyway within Tenebrous, the mammal Digimon had a look of utter terror as the masked visage of the Renamon X practically strangled him...
The seedier parts of Tenebrous were generally very unregulated, thieves and conmen running rampant... it not uncommon for some inhabitants to use murder as a tool to get what they want. Normally this was a haven for hoodlums like the Gazimon, but he had quickly realized he picked the wrong person to mug. An attempted ambush and shakedown for some bits quickly turned to the Virus Digimon practically begging for his life.
"Dear, you need to work seriously on your comedy act. No class! No punchline!" Tamamizu spoke in her typical hammy attitude, and while her voice was cheerful... it practically oozed malevolence. She thought herself a tolerant individual, but wannabe tough-guys pissed her off. She tightened her grip on the poor Rookie level, her eyes practically glaring from the slits of the kitsune mask that obscured her face. "Honestly... Did you expect for every attempt at thievery to go perfectly? Honestly, you are too dumb to live... I am even debating if killing you would actually be mercy." the vixen spoke with a dismissive tone, her twin tails flicking about excitedly.
If it wasn't her that killed this guy, it would have been certainly some other thug.

"It is not as though you're a paragon of comedy yourself." An alien and distinctly male voice rang out. How Vemmon had found his (her?) way here was a story for another time, but this seedy city was strangely PERFECT for him to skulk around, with Mao's consent or not.
Footsteps clattered as the purple alien stared at what was unfolding before him.
...Holy shit, is that Dash...? It is not. Dash is a different Gazimon, I presume. Plus, he's far too skilled to allow a mere -fox- to do that to him.
"Don't pursue a career in comedy. You'll likely choke." These were pretty bold words for someone who had just stumbled into this like it was no big deal, really.

Alpha was stumbling around in Tenebrous before barely hearing the voice of the Gazimon pleading for his life. Alpha noted where the sound was coming from and started running towards origin of the sound as fast as he could, just to see 3 digimons there, a Gazimon who was being lifted against the wall by his throat, a Renamon X holding the Gazimon up and a strange alien looking digimon which Alpha had no knowledge about.
He slowed down and walked closer to them looking around between 3 of them confused. "So...what is going on here? I definitely heard the guy, who apparently likes being lifted up by his throat quite a bit, asking for mercy i guess..." Alpha scratched his head slightly confused upon what he should do about this situation.

So... this was Tenebrous.
Colin had been reluctant to visit here, especially from the horrors that his Impmon partner Bellamy had suffered in Old Terminus. While Colin knew of what happened only by word, the sheer terror in Bellamy's face as he told of what had happened lingered for a long time on him.
He had seen true death down there. He had almost suffered the fate he feared the most - death by drowning. It was only their new friend Dio that had prevented that. And had he, his partner Luke, and their friend Carlos had been seconds late in rescuing them, they too would have suffered true death.
That Bellamy was so petrified coming down this way that he would only travel on Colin's back, well, that seemed like it would be the arrangement. Neither Colin or Luke judged him poorly for it, it seemed that would be it.
Thankfully, in this trek through Old Terminus, none of the misfortunes of earlier repeated themselves. And so, they soon made their way to the entrance of the city beyond Old Terminus - Tenebrous.
In his new role as an AEGIS agent, and as the one with both experience of the digital world and enough power to help him hold his own in unknown areas, Colin was asked if he wanted to volunteer to explore this place. He agreed to do so, on condition he'd act as a freelancer. To this, his elder sister Sophie agreed.
And so, the trio entered this intriguing underground civilization. Of course, the native digimon viewed them warily, some even blinking with confusion at the sight of a weird furry Impmon riding a human's back, but Colin paid no attention to them.
It was information about this place that Colin sought after. If they were threatened, only then would he defend himself. But strange and suspicious looks were not threats, so he did not retaliate.
Soon, though, they would embark upon a curious scene. A strange fox digimon seeming to apprehend a male Gazimon (which was much to Bellamy's relief as his daughter was also a Gazimon); also in the vicinity was a strange purple digimon that none of the trio had ever seen before. And lastly, a silver Dorumon.
Given that Colin was confused and Luke was trying to make out the situation, it was Bellamy, now glad to be rid of Old Terminus and its horrors and here in this new city to find out its mysteries who spoke first.
"I agree with silverfluff here" he said, jumping off Colin's back and trying to look cool, standing in his regular outfit of a cross-belt around his waist and right shoulder, holding in place a pauldron of leather armor displaying a red heart over a starburst - his crest. He nodded at the Dorumon in agreement. "Wanna... share what's happenin' here?" he asked in general.

Despite her face being obscured by the mask, it was pretty clear that Tamamizu was perhaps enjoying herself too much scaring the nonexistent pants of the Gazimon. She might have perhaps retracted her prior statement if she had spent a tad longer dwelling on the circumstances, but unfortunately for her it seems that she was going to be having company. The Renamon X let out a soft hum of curiosity as a small gathering began to draw near...
First was a strange little cyborg-like Digimon... reminded her of an alien honestly. A very sassy alien at that it appeared! Tamamizu giggled girlishly at their words, admiring the rather morbid sense of humor. "Oh, nonsense dear. I'm very funny! Why, I ate a clown once; after all, you are who you eat!" she spoke, it hard to exactly tell if she was being serious or not (spoilers, she was). "Besides mister funny alien, I don't see you being much of a stand-up comedian yourself! You have the punchline down, but no feeling to it."
The silver-y Dorumon and that obscenely fluffy Impmon by the human and Elecmon were unlike the Vemmon more of the snooping type it appeared... outright questioning her motives. Fortunately, it was a very easy thing to explain overall, the Renamon X having absolutely nothing to hide after all. "Well, you see dears... ole gray and grimy here thought it wise to try and mug a sweet little lady. I'm just teaching my little friend that its not nice to steal things ~" the vixen spoke in a sing-a-long esque tone, loosening her grip on the gasping Gazimon.
"S-She's NUTS! She's trying to freakin' strangle me dammit!" the Gazimon managed to yelp, clearly having none of this. The hell were these punks doing? Couldn't they see he was the victim here?!
"Oh hush you, you have it all wrong. I'm trying to choke you. Strangling is completely different." the masked witch mused as she let out a dismissive sigh. Seriously. Kids these days, not knowing the difference between a choke and a strangle! Whose teaching them this stuff?

...Does that explain why she's acting like a creep?
Now you're just being rude.
"Don't think it matters--that guy's paid in dignity and asphyxiation either way." The one-eyed alien slowly turned his gaze towards the newcomers. A silver Dorumon (strange, he knew), and...an Elecmon, an Impmon, and some human with red eyes. Huh, he was feeling a little bit of deja vu on that one.
"So basically...How do the humans put it? Shittalk, get stropped? Talk shit, get hit?" The alien put a hand to his chin. That was the real question to be asking. "Hey, greasefur, which one is it?" Vemmon asked of the Gazimon, only now remembering he was kind of choking on his words.
"...Oh. Oops."

Alpha felt like he was getting a headache from this really weird Renamon X with equally weird mask as he just sighed and shook his head slightly. "If he did do so, he definitely should be punished. Maybe cut off an arm or slight torture might teach him not to try to steal anything anymore, what do you think?" He asked looking around the ones here now especially looking suspiciously at the weird Renamon, wondering why she was using a mask and especially why she was such a weirdo. He scratched his head unable to find the answers by thinking about it so he just tilted his head trying to see if he could find any clues by checking out the Renamon. Maybe some kind of bump or something she had on her head, she might have hit her head and start to think she is some kind of cannibal creep.
Alpha laughed a bit at the thought of that, he found this Renamon absolutely hilarious and interesting. He finally turned his head to look at the tamer and twin digimons looking over them and noticing how the Impmon was slightly different than normal ones, not to mention that the tamer had two digimons. Something he hadn't seen yet, he had seen normal tamers with a digimon and maybe some others but there weren't usually a tamer with 2 partner digimons.

The Gazimon's yelling had attracted not only a small crowd, but apparently one of the cities protectors as a shadow fell over the group. If the Tactimon that loomed over them eyeing them all with sharp gold eyes from behind his cracked face plate could ever be termed as such. Still his partner had sunk her heart and soul into this place and he was loath to let it come to ruin. "Is there a problem here?" He questioned in a low growl with a tone that made it all too clear there had better be no such thing. His narrow eyes flickering over the gathered crowd mentally assessing their individual threat levels and assuring himself the Gazimon pinned to the wall was not one of his associates. Perhaps employed by one of them, but certainly not a member he knew by name. Unlike his Tamer Cloak was hardly a bleeding heart when it came to those in trouble. Then again had they truly expected as outsiders to come to the den of thieves and not run into some form of trouble? It was well known that Tenebrous while small protected it's own, but outsiders while typically treated cordially were fair game if they strayed from the advised paths. Of course it seemed the Gazimon had bitten off a bit more then he could chew when it came to his intended mark.

"Huh, so, thievery was it?" Bellamy asked, raising an eyebrow. That this seemed to be in retaliation for a crime made him less keen on intervening. Luke wasn't so sure.
"Well... as long as he's learned his lesson..." the Elecmon said, wearing a similar leather belt and cross strap with his crest on his other shoulder. Then the silver Dorumon flippantly suggested decapitation of their arm as a punishment. "Uh... that's a terrible idea I think" Luke said immediately.
"Well, maybe he should be turned over to the authorities?" Colin said. "It's really not our place..."
He was distracted by the appearance of a very intimidating digimon, a looming swordsman wearing a mask. Colin gasped and Luke backed off, trembling at his appearance, while Bellamy simply waved up at him.
"Heya. Nope, no problems here, we're just visitin', got drawn here by screamin'" he said, shrugging. "So, you part of the city watch or whatever it is here?"
While he was a little shaken by the sudden appearance of such a high level digimon, the Impmon hoped that just being friendly and cool would make the better first impression.

What delightful acquaintances she was meeting today! An unexpected social gathering, but a welcome one for the fox! Alien friend here was a bit of a funny one... and she did like the Dorumon's style of justice, but it was perhaps a bit too on the nose for her tastes. She was still trying to get a read on those two fluffy boys and their tamer, but all in due time. "Hmm. Nah, it doesn't really say a message. Maybe I could take one or two fingers though... Gazimon claws could make a delightful necklace ... A nicely poetic punishment for a thief ~" she mused, offering a shrug to the human boy and Elecmon... clearly the goodie-six-shoes of this little party they had going. "Oh, I was just going to teach him a lesson. Why, imagine if he tried mugging someone worse? What could happen if he met a relentless killer?"
Tamamizu giggled as she gazed back at the Gazimon, he gulping awkwardly. Yeah. What if?
It did appear that their little gathering had drawn attention from passerby Digimon... It made sense. Violence was prone to drawing out the curious when it was not directed at them, and one particular individual had definitely had their attention picqued by their little rendezvous... A Tactimon, one that practically exuded a menacing aura with their mere presence. Enough to even cause Tamamizu to falter, for even just a few seconds before her chipper attitude returned.
"Oh nothing important tall, dark, and handsome. Just a silly woman who was just defending herself from a mean thief." she spoke to the lone Mega, dropping the Gazimon unceremoniously on the ground as she turned to face him. She was a fickle and odd-motived creature, but she knew when to pay respect to those with power when it was necessary.
The Gazimon grasped at his sore neck, finally having a chance to breathe properly as he managed to weakly get up, pointing a claw at this psycho fox. Okay sure he was a thief, but this chick? This chick was dangerous... he practically had his life flash before his eyes earlier! "You kidding me?! This bitch tried to fuckin strangle me to death!" he yelped, eyeing everyone... from that shitty alien and the big Mega level here.
"Choke, darling. I tried to choke you. Strangling is very different." the Renamon X softly muttered at the Gazimon before turning to Cloak, bowing slightly. "I'm just a simple host of an apothecary I am hoping to setup here in this lovely city. Unfortunately, this rude little boy thought it wise to try and shake me down... Why, I didn't know what he would have done to me! Maybe he would have killed and loaded me?"
"Bullshit." the Gazimon muttered, sorely rubbing his neck from where the Renamon X grabbed him prior.

"Hey, hey, that's a cut too deep, foxxy boy." Vemmon chided, putting a hand on his hip akin to a sassy diva that hailed from the land of the humans. While it -was- true that thieves were pretty poorly treated, at least according to the period of time where Vemmon was truly alive, it was also true that such a thing existed as fair punishment. Perhaps the loss of fingers. A tongue.
But a whole limb? Crazy!
He had been close to responding to the other three present when he caught sight of a Tactimon. Of all the things to make Vemmon feel what he felt next, Mao was not expecting that. Fear.
Pure, unadulterated fear. Why?
A question for later. The girl had to seize control now, and so she did. The form of Vemmon dissipated with a brief burst of light, revealing a slender girl with glasses and orange hair, wearing some honest-to-god baggy pants and a tank top. While that had happened, the fox seemed to let the Gazimon go.
"...I'm not gonna lie, I was kinda just about ready to make a run for it there. You guys have some pretty funky ways of dealing with thieves and stuff. Like a Hammurabic code!" She stated to nobody in particular. Or, rather. Everyone. Namely Tamamizu. Mao really did seem like she was ready to run for it, too.

Alpha did think it was quite good idea to be punished by losing an entire arm for doing something Gazimon definitely shouldn't have but after thinking a bit alongside with what weird fox lady said it did make somewhat sense. Alpha nodded slightly scratching his head and shrugging "Maybe it is a bit too much for the first time, but i think i would make sense to do it if one doesn't learn from the first mistake. There is a saying. "Even a donkey doesn't hit his head to the same spot twice." I think it fits the bill quite well don't you think?" Alpha shivered right after saying it as the mega level digimon suddenly appeared as if from thin air, making him shudder as he did have a quite sensitive sense of danger and this guy made it yell nonstop.
Alpha took a deep breathe in and calmed down seeing that the Tactimon wasn't going to do anything right away. "Shouldn't be a problem, sir. Just a little thief messing indeed with a wrong person, which obviously was a huge mistake he did. He also seemingly did not want to pay for his mistake and instead pulled out the victim card from his filthy mind i suppose." Alpha looked a bit disgusted with the Gazimon, who was the one who was wrong act like he was the victim before he sighed and shook his head only to look at Tactimon wondering what he would do in this situation. "Is it safe to assume you are some kind of guard in this place, sir?" Alpha was trying to be as respectful as he could not to get killed for being careless.

The Tactimon let out a deep rumbling sigh, the breath escaping through the cracks of his faceplate with a low hiss as he slowly shifted his hand away from where it had come to instinctively rest upon the sword strapped to his side that radiated barely contain malevolent power. "I suppose you could say I have a personal investment in this cities success," The Tactimon spoke answering both Bellamy and Alpha's question at once and elaborating no further. There was no need to let them know that the cities militia was still being formed and that he and a select others had stepped up to fill the gaps till their forces were solidified. Though the black armored samurai seemed less then impressed with the Renamon-X's flirting, but was evidently too well-mannered to say so outloud.
"You are quite a ways from the market district if that is the case. However, I have been lead to understand that the labyrinthine nature of the city can make navigation rather confusing to newcomers," Cloak murmured, left unspoken was that such a design was purposeful.
"However," And his sharp golden gaze cut towards the Gazimon pinning him in place with a single hard stare, "If you wish to press charges I can escort your would be mugger to the Head of City Security. Otherwise any further actions will be taking the law into your own hands." Of course it went without saying that in Tenebrous being brought in by the guards was a mercy when most districts were self-policing. The militia mainly being created to protect the city from those without and to prevent any power struggles from boiling over into the streets and costing innocent lives.
"I would suggest speaking with the Business Council. The cities facilities are still being put into place, but they would be in the best position to aid you. If nothing else the market district is quite the sight to be seen." The Tactimon suggested recalling easily that it was what most outsiders were the most excited about. Not that he could entirely blame them. While the city itself was still growing and forming the market had already exploded into an outstanding bazaar pulling in the much needed funds with it's array of exotic goods and reputation of having anything and everything.

Luke was quite alarmed by the digimon's suggestion. "Well... to be frank, if you wanted to teach him a lesson, maybe not take something that can't be returned?" he asked, still hoping he could convince them to not be quite so barbaric of this? Removing the Gazimon's fingers, that was still too extreme for his liking. And he seemed glad that the strange purple alien digimon agreed with him on the arm.
Colin was still uncertain of what he should say here, given he knew nothing of the laws of this city, but Bellamy kinda wanted to know the other side of the story too. "Why did ya steal from her?" he asked the grey digimon directly. Once, across many incarnations ago, he was a little shit like that, so, he wanted to know if this was an act of innocent but stupid desparation, or something of a more sinister thing.
That apparently this digimon was an apothecarist made Luke a little more sympathetic as well, if Gazimon had been stealing ingredients for things like healing potions and antidotes then he'd have less objection for him being punished for it, but still, the brutal methods voiced made him ill at ease.
Then their attentions turned to the Tactimon. He gave a somewhat vague answer that Bellamy took as confirmation that he was an arm of the law here, so the Impmon would make note not to screw around too much here. At least for Colin and Luke's sake, none of them wanted to make a bad first impression down here.
None of Colin or his partners had anything to object to what Tactimon offered in the ways of justice to the apothecarist fox digimon.
However, when the Tactimon mentioned places that might be of interest, that did make all three of them interested. "A market district, eh?" Bellamy asked, rubbing his white furred chin. He liked the sound of that. They did have rather a lot in the way of bits on their journey after all.
Luke meanwhile liked the idea of meeting up with the Business Council a bit more. "If we arrange a meeting, maybe we can introduce ourselves?" he asked his partner and brother, by now thinking the situation with the thief wasn't their problem anymore. "After all, some digimon might be worried that AEGIS would be the same kind of interventionalists as DATS, and we don't wanna have that misunderstandi-" he realized he had said this at normal speaking volume, realizing he might have made a little bit of an error of speaking about that so carelessly. Still, he finished with an "-ng" and hoped little more attention would be put to that.
"Well, if that's all settled..." Colin began, realizing he knew nobody currently present here. "My name's Colin, these are my partners Luke and Bellamy. We're here on our first visit to Tenebrous, like Bells said, so, heya" he finished with a careful kind of wave.

The Gazimon was honestly quite exasperated about this whole ordeal... he at least wasn't as fearful for his life with the big samurai dude here, but he also didn't exactly want to be thrown into the slammer. At least that human with the furry Rookies and the alien were kinda on his side... though losing some fingers wasn't exactly a bed of roses either! "I mean, she looked like an easy target! She freakin' was giggling to herself like some dopey schoolgirl! I was just lookin' for a quick couple of bits man!" he ended up stammering, giving a rather meek look to the Dorumon and the tin can with the giant sword... He legit was having a hard time figuring out who was scarier at this point.
Tamamizu meanwhile merely tilted her head slightly in curiosity towards Cloak... So the Tactimon was an enforcer? He clearly was a very powerful Digimon, and such power meant influence... Something she could respect and acknowledge. "It is an awfully large city, but one with a lot of personality... ~ " the vixen spoke, grasping her hands together as her twin tails flicked about. In regards to how she wanted to handle the Gazimon, frankly she was somewhat losing interest... she had new people to talk to, so thoughts of revenge were unwarranted now. "Honestly, I don't even think I want to really go through that whole effort honestly... So I think I'll let the sabertooth bun go. I'm sure he's learned a valuable lesson to not go trying something like that again ~" she cheerfully spoke before nudging the Virus Digimon away.
"... Tch..." the Gazimon snarled slightly at the vixen before soon enough bolting with his tail behind his legs. He was seriously having second thoughts about this whole thief business, especially if he was gonna have to deal with psychopaths like the fox!
With the would-be hoodlum out of her hair, Tamamizu turned her attention to the samurai Digimon before curtsy-ing towards him. Her excuse was not a lie, as she did have an interest in setting up at this fairly new junction of the Digital World... Clearly it was an oppurtunity to meet new people! "Thank you for the kind offer. I may inquire about that in fact... When you've been around as long as I have, you seek new avenues to escape the doldrums of life... and if its one that you can make a living off of, that is a bonus."
Of course, her attention wasn't only drawn to her fellow Digimon... there was also the one human boy and his partners that caught her interest... and oh look, another human! What a surprise... She wouldn't have imagined a human in Digimon skin was among them! "Oh! A Spirit Wielder! Why, its been years since I've seen one of your kind! A very exotic Sprite you have there!" the vixen cheerfully spoke, Mao perhaps having blew any chance of boring the Renamon X. Nonetheless, the tall Rookie for the first time in the conversation took off her mask to show her face, a surprisingly warm smile on her face. "Charmed to meet you all ~ ... I am Tamamizu. I am also a visitor to Tenebrous, hailing from the Eastern Timberlands region. I must say, its fascinating to see how much the Digital World has changed over the years... so many fresh new faces!"
