Leo was fascinated by the weird state of the water as much as Ayumi was, made her wonder if it was possible for the twins to do something on it, digging the water was an idea she never thought she'll have but if it meant helping with the research might as well right?
But before the German could give an order to the gears the weird person they saw at the distance just pop in front of them or the beach line where they were standing move closer to the fisherman, it was werid to describe... As weird as this person? The moment Eleonora blinked the human turn into a digimon and to a human once she blink again.... What was this thing? Would analyze it with the Xros Loader do anything? Would it be rude to just analyze it without making any question?
"Yumi, if you want you can take both Gurren and Lagann to the sea and I Don't know dig the water? I'm sure that they'll be able to do something to help you on the research" Said Leo with light smile and then focus on the human/digimon figure "Suzu? So... Are we in Japan or this is still the digital world?" Obvious question out of the way "My name is Eleonora and well I guess if you can tell us something about this place that'll help too" Her hand holding the digivice ready to release Mamemon X if it was needed as she didn't fully trust this... Thing..
Both gears flew towards Ayumi and look at her expectantly with a smile awaiting her orders, this place was weird but unlike the rest the twins didn't feel too creep out, maybe because they're machines and can't be easily scare or maybe the thrill of exploring and researching was enough for them to remain calm.
"We are ready when you are Miss Sakata" "We hope can be of much help for your research"

Clearly disturbed by what had just transpired before his eyes, as well as what was currently transpiring before them, Alan was doing his best to keep a kind, smiling expression on his face, on the off-chance that the "local" might be offended by a visible look of fear. The more he thought about what he was looking at, the less afraid he became, and the more fascinating it all seemed. Naturally, such an early version of the digital world was going to have a few bugs to iron out. And despite what your average "creepypasta" may tell you, glitchy doesn't always mean "possessed" or "cursed." Sometimes, it simply meant "crude," and no matter what else it was, "crude" was definitely a word that could accurately describe what they were seeing here. That voice- it reminded him of-
The robotically-spoken words "Al's Toy Barn" echoed in his head, giving the tamer a light chuckle to himself. If this place operated on old programs, it was a reasonable assumption that it wouldn't be that hard to interface with them. Eleonora was already speaking to the fisherman, and he would wait for her to finish her interaction, but afterwards, Alan gathered himself, cleared his throat, and stated to the fishermon, in a calm, clear voice:
"I would like to know more about Suzu."
Levi stood by to witness the result of this action.

Solomon remained at Eris' side as she examined the bucket. From the pearly, sandy substance rose...a pulsating, black mass of pixels, roughly in the shape of the head of an octopus. Its two eyes changed shape constantly, in a seemingly senseless pattern of changing between 1 and 0. A soft static sound emerged from the thing, as it heaved one black, blocky tentacle from the bucket, and slowly moved it towards Eris. When it made contact, Eris' vision briefly blacked out, and a burst of static hit her ears. However, the "octopus" quickly returned to the bucket, as if it, too, had been scared by this. It only slowly raised its head back up, as if it was worried that it could get attacked. Solomon bent over Eris immediately. "Are you ok? Did it hurt you?"
The flickering man/Digimon kept smiling. "Greetings Eleonora. Greetings Other Person! Yes. This is Suzu. Suzu (珠洲市 Suzu-shi) is a city located in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. It Has About 25000 Inhabitants. You Should Try The Noto Beef!" It sounded more like a dictionary or tourist guide description than anything useful about this Digital space, however.
As for Ayumi, now on all fours and examining the "water", she turned to the gears with a smile. "Oh, you two, I would love some help. Only problem is, though..." She tried digging in the "water", but the pressure of her hands liquefied it and made it flow back into the hole she'd created. "...the weird property of this stuff makes digging hard."

Eris crept closer to the bucket as she saw movement. Poking her little nose inside as she peered closely at the black mass that slowly formed into a octopus looking creature. For a long moment Mon and pixel monster stared at one another. Eris's nose twitching as she sniffed it before it reached one tentacle out and...
and suddenly Eris reared back with a sharp yelp the Gigimon falling onto her back her limps twitching and eyes dark as she flailed in panic until her vision returned. Her breaths heaving in her chest as the spasms of shock faded her ears still ringing with the sound of static as she clenched them tight to her head.
"Owwww!" She sobbed out with all the upset hurt and betrayal of a child that had found a new creature to poke and gotten bitten for it. Course it seemed the 'octopus' hadn't gotten of any easier.

Well... That was not the answer the German was expecting... It sounded like something you'd find in the internet or a tourist guide, at least they had a vague idea where they are now although that doesn't seem to be of much help the blonde is sure that this is not the real world.
"Alright... What can you tell us about the town? Any idea what's the big tower?"
Taking note of what happen to Eris the girl wanted to go and help the little digimon and see if she was OK but an uneasy feeling told her to better not get near the bucket and the octopus inside, she instead took a step back and look at Alan.
"Please go and check on Eris, I'll talk with "the fisher", thanks" She gave a warm smile to the young man and his V-mon
The gears on the other hand saw the predicament Ayumi was, it was a little if not impossible for them to mine if little pressure puts the water back on its liquid state, this actually creates a couple of really interesting questions, the boat of the weird human/Betamon didn't seemed to affect the water so maybe be in contact with foreign objects or peopl makes the water go back to normal for a while?
"Do you think that what's beneath the layer of water is liquid or it also is on "stasis"?" Asked Gurren
"We think that this could be like a frozen river that the layer expose to the environment is in a constant state of stasis while whats beneath it still acts normaly" Lagann explain their way of thinking
"The other thing that raised our attention is that maybe the water goes back to its normal state for been in contact with something that is foreign to this "space" "We should try to confirm this theory first before trying to actually mine something or disturb the aquatic life"

"Oh, alright," said Alan, blinking rapidly at the fisher/mon, watching them change rapidly back and forth between the two forms. He watched now with more fascination than fear, though he was kind of disappointed he wouldn't be able to stick around and listen. He did want to hear more about the place, even if it was simply about the human-world city of Suzu. Though the young man briefly wondered where he might be able to find some "noto beef," he figured it was best to look for some once they had a chance to go back to the human world, rather than putting glitchy beef from the eighties anywhere near his mouth. With that quick little exchange done in his mind, Alan turned to go check on Eris, as he had agreed to do. Seeing the Gigimon in pain, he rushed over and bent down on one knee in the sand, Levi leaning over, mainly just following where Alan went at this point. "Woah, are you alright? What happened?"

The "fisher" was still smiling his vacant smile as he turned to the spire. "Ah. That is the Kobayashi household! Mr. Kobayashi is a very smart man, he works with computers! He has a daughter, Sanako! I am catching octopi for her! Sanako loves takoyaki!" Ah, they were getting somewhere, seems that spire is...someone's house? That's strange.
Solomon still cradled Eris after the unpleasant encounter with the "octopus". "I do believe we have experience a first contact gone awry. Touching this creature has caused some sort of shock within Eris." The "octopus" was still watching carefully from the rim of the bucket. Then, its pulsating black pixel mass shifted and squirmed and...its head transformed into a black, pixellated copy of Eris' body, just with tentacles rather than legs. It opened its "maw", producing more static sounds. Was it...trying to communicate?
Back with the gears, Ayumi tapped her finger against her chin. "Well, only one way to find out!" She pulled the sleeve of her blouse up, baring her arm, and began to dig with her hand, sinking her arm slowly into the liquefying "water". Once her arm had been completely submerged, she stopped moving it, letting the "water" reconstitute". She then tried to move it. "Hmmm, this is strange. It *feels* wet...but it's bone dry. I can still feel the grains! Yet with a bit of movement..." She vibrated her arm a bit, and her arm moved beneath the "surface". "...I can still move it! What a curious substance!"

Eris blinked at the rather frankly disturbing looking black pixalated tentacled version of herself as it chirped out static. Then she pouted lip wobbling before pointing at the Octopus. "Yeah static! You shocked me!" She pointed out accusingly even as she gestured at the creature in question her tail still tucked as she slunk behind Solomon's legs and seemed to alternate between glaring, pouting, and sniffing the air around the Octopus curiously. Only to pause when the Fisherman mentioned catching the creature for some sort of 'meal.'
"What! You can't eat it even if it is creepy!" The little Gigimon exclaimed her fear temporarily forgotten as she rushed out from behind Solomon's legs and lunged for the handle of the bucket intending to rip it out of the man/mon's hands with her teeth and dash off with it

H-House?!? Do people live there? No way that thing is the most unhouse like the German has ever seen, unless the thing looks different inside living there doesn't seem to be really comfortable, also how does a man that work with computers in 1986 has the money to sustain a place like that? Questioning this doesn't help that much is clear that this place has its own rules
"I see...What can you tell me about Mr. Kobayashi? What kind of computers does he work or what kind of work does he do? Programing? Coding? Building them?"
Meanwhile the gears watch as Ayumi sink one arm to test the properties of the water, she said that it had the "wet" feeling yet at the same time it was as if the water kept its stasis state and she was able to feel the individual grains, definitely a lot of work with here.
"Maybe we should go further with this experiment" "We propose my sibling to go a little deeper, since we are gears and have drills our bodies constantly spin and turn" "Keeping the water in movement long enough for me to fully sink shouldn't be a problem" "Of course my sibling won't go too deep in case the wild life is not friendly" "I will be back in some minutes and I will bring an inform about the result of this little experiment"
That said the gear flew a couple of meters far from Ayumi and its other half where Gurren calculate it should be able to fully sink yet not be too far away for the group in case something goes wrong, spinning his body and drills he quickly submerge and once its body was completely under water it stop all movements to see if the water would go back to a full stasis state and if that has some effect beneath it

Alan looked around once more at his surroundings, unsure. There were a lot of intriguing findings being made, but already he had been resorting to meekly wandering back and forth, wondering if anyone needed help.
"Don't take it too hard," said Levi, resting a hand on his Tamer's leg. "They've got this patch of beach covered is all."
"Mm," was Alan's response, accompanied with a half-hearted nod. "Tell ya what, how about we talk a walk down the shore? We can see the sights, make some new breakthroughs, bring back the findings..."
"Split up and cover more ground? Famous last words." "Hey, hey, danger is what I'm here for! Scratch that, what we're both here for! There are always risks and we know that!"
Alan crossed his arms and re-considered the offer. "Didn't we just see reality shift around us? We could easily be misplaced by the geography and get lost."
"I see your point..." the Veemon needed a minute to reply to this. "...But. Who says the same thing couldn't happen to two people walking shoulder to shoulder anyway? It'll be fun."
"You know what?" The human walked over next to the water Ayumi was feeling around. "Excuse me! Levi and I are going to go investigate the rest of the beach! We won't leave the shore! Do you think you'll be moving from this spot soon? Should we wait?" If the partners obtained the go ahead, they would leisurely stroll on in one of the directions down the beach, carefully examining their surroundings as they went.

"Ah, Mr. Kobayashi programs computers! He is really good at computing programs! But he still loves his daughter! His latest project involved programming a digital rea-" Before the dual being could finish, Eris took off with the octopus. The octopus gave off bursts of static which could be interpreted as giggling. The dual being was upset, however. "But I need takoyaki for Sanako! Come baaaaack!" He then got up, and ran after Eris. It was strange, watching a man run, and then an AguBetamon waddle whenever onlookers blinked.
As for Gurren, sinking into the curious substance told him two things: 1) He can only move through it when vibrating. When still, the substance surrounded him like quicksand, with noticable grains, yet it was completely transparent like water. This meant he could sink to the bottom and then vibrate his way forward. 2) Sinking in drew a lot of attention. He found himself by globs of black pixels with green 1 and 0 eyes, like the "octopus". They watched as he vibrated in. Some resembled fish, others octopi, one took the form of a starfish. And further in the back, where it was harder to see due to the light growing darker, swam a titanic Digimon. Serpentine, wearing a helmet like a Seadramon, yet it had horns like a Greymon. Its fins seemed tattered, and it was big enough to swallow the party whole. It did not seem interested in the gear.
Ayumi looked up when Alan called. "Eh? Oh, sure, go ahead, we'll wait here if we're done before you come back!"

Eris was small, but even lugging around the bucket the little Gigimon was fast. Faster still when the mon/man thing was a Digimon and forced to waddle. Though he made up for lost time with his longer strides when in human form. At least until he got a little too close to Eris. Causing the Gigimon to spin and dart between the man's legs heading back towards the group as her form shifted and seemed to stretch as with a flash of light and data suddenly there was a Guilmon-X barreling towards them rather then merely a tiny Gigimon. The Guilmon-X's color briefly flashing black before it settled into the normal typical fire-engine red as digging their claws into the ground the little dragon dropped the bucket, which hit the sand with a plunk, most of the water thankfully still inside it with the octopus, and opened her jaws wide flame dancing on her tongue. "Stay back or I'll flame broil you!" The Guilmon-X barked out threateningly.

Just as Eleonora seemed to be going somewhere with the fisherman/mon Eris gets to play hero and steal the bucket with the octopus, as much as the German would've love to help there wasn't much she could do the little digimon might just be playing and surely the fisher would be able to catch her eventually.
Or so she thought but the moment Eris evolved and was threatening the other being was when Leo decided to step up, materializing Kamina from the Xros Loader the Blonde pick him up and throw him with hopes of the little ball of metal landing between the Guilmon X and the fisher.
The Mamemon X didn't had much time to understand what was happening and the only thing he knew is that he was flying across the beach landing face first in the soft sand, one quick look at the running fisher and Eris charging fire in her mouth he had all the information needed.
"I'll say this one time so you better take the wax out of your ears and listen missy, I agree that this place and the hoomon there is weird but it is an innocent doing it's job and taking it's bucket and catch of the day plus threatening him is an injustice I won't let slide, if you shoot that fire ball then I'll fight back!" That said Kamina would get ready to jump in the way of the fire ball if Eris decides to keep going with her attack,
As for Leo she move towards the Guilmon X "Let's try to be civil about this, Eris, the fisher is just doing it's job, you wouldn't like put a lot of effort in something for someone else to take it away from you, right?" Hopefully her words can calm the red Dragon a little, the last thing they needs is a fight between themselves.
Meanwhile Gurren sink to the bottom and stop all movement to test the properties of the "sea", as he thought the moment he stop moving everything went into stasis almost as if the Hagurumon was being covered by quick sand, he took some minutes to check the place before going up again and inform Ayumi and its sibling about it's discoveries
"The Quick Sand/Stasis state the water takes when nothing is moving on it also applies to what is beneath, it is easy to move even when in the bottom but I would not recommend stop moving, I am not sure if a human or any other normal digimon will be capable of breathing down there, additionally I saw the sea life, it is a little hard to explain as I doubt that they can be consider digimon but I am sure they do not qualify as any other organism one can encounter in the human world, it was mostly fishes and octopus with a binary code by eyes, also I am sure to have spot a Seadramon with Greymon features, that is the end of my report"

The "hoomon"'s chase came to a quick end as Eris digivolved to protect the octopus. The fishermon stopped in his tracks at the sight of the Digimon. "W-w-wait, let's talk this out! Please, I need the takoyaki for Sanako, she loves it! And I just take a few tentacles for it! They grow right back, really!" He seemed to get more relaxed when Kamina and Eleonora came to his rescue. He did not seem willing to fight. "B-b-b-esides, if we make too much noise, we'll wake my dad, and he'll be really mad!"
Ayumi listened to the report, and nodded along. "So it's like a very peculiar non-newtonian liquid. Solid when in statis, but liquid when in motion...curious, very curious. So if we want to explore the deep sea of this realm we either need a Digimon that does not need to breathe, or a diving suit that can vibrate! And you said there was a Seadramon with Greymon features? A Greydramon? These hybrids are getting more and more peculiar!" She then looked up at the commotion with the fisherman. "Hey, what's going on out there?" By now, Solomon had caught up with Eris, standing next to her, ready to intervene. "Please, Eris, do not let this escalate."

If anything Kamina and Leo's words seemed to only antagonize Eris further. The low threatening flames that had licked at her jaws cresting into a much fiercer inferno before she snuffed it out and instead pulled her lips back flashing her fangs as an ugly and furious snarl tore it's way out of the Guilmon-X's throat. Their form seemed to waver and ripple with anger, wanting to twist and shift with their fury as the Mamemon X's presence seemed to escalate the situation.
"I will not condone the un-consenting physical harm or death of clearly sentient beings for pleasure or sport for any circumstance. Just because they are doing their job and it is part of their culture doesn't make it right." The Guilmon snarled bristling at the three digimon trying to crowd her, her whip like tail lashing angrily in subtle warning for even Solomon to back off.
"If the octi-" Eris trailed off glancing down at the bucket unsure what to call the creature before her eyes lit up with insight, "If the Octi-pixel wants to offer a few of it's tentacles then that is one thing, but if anyone tries to hurt it or take them by force. . ." Eris trailed off threateningly as she let out a snort sending little wisps of smoke spiraling into the air in a subtle reminder that for all her small size she was a DRAGON.
"I'll make them regret it. So just you try me you overgrown iron ping pong."
