Looking for Possible Members [Kiwimon and Alraumon]

Post by Alraumon & Kiwimon on Apr 27, 2019 11:56:20 GMT
Kokuwamon was trying to fly, as he suddenly found himself grabbed by a stronger, fluffier, more dragon-y digimon, he flailed a bit in short Panic. At first he was shouting about his own safety, but then realized Yuukz was sitting on top of the Dorugamon, and they were moving much faster than they were before! “ANYTHING BUT THE BITS-oh, it’s you!”
Alraumon found her bearings and held onto Kiwimon as Kiwimon was dashing through the town. It seemed he was a regular in rushing around crowds or inhabited places, as he never hit or crashed into another digimon, easily walking around things without losing much pace. She watched as her brother navigated her to a completely different part of town. During the running, seeing flowers, sunlight, structure of wood and greenery coiled all around it rush by at high pace, Kiwimon found himself being caught up by a Dorugamon which could keep up with his pacing!
As Hikaru & Yuukz came close, Kiwimon flashed them a smile and continued running a bit, jumping over somethings before rushing ahead and taking a left turn to a somewhat narrow staircase which was between the structures and homes. The leaves surrounding it made it glow a soft green, and seem almost romantic, as if a tunnel of nature to go through!
Kiwimon, however, had no romantic intentions, his legs tensing up as he jumped up multiple stairs and then jumped again, vanishing off to the right, following the curve of the staircase which lead the group to another level of Rosewood! It was all a sight to behold, seeing the specks of sunlight rush over your skin and the environment around you.
At the top of the stairs, the somewhat twisting alleyway opened up to a small road, sturdy wooden floor making soft but harmless creaks as any footsteps on them created soft, pleasant thwumps. But most notably, was that the sunlight from above was split between more than its usual bright spots and slightly green speckled spotted through the leaves… There was a rainbow from colours that accompanied the sunlight, creating a sort of natural Disco lighting throughout the room as the sun shone through many various coloured flowers and empty spots in the plants above them. However, this felt a hundred times more relaxing. Kiwimon couldn’t help but stand still as Alraumon took a deep breath. Various soft, flowery aromas mixed into a delightful, easy scent which was so friendly, it made one’s chest feel lighter and flutter up with serenity.
A slight breeze carried the scent of food and the sound of trickling water and chatter, a few idle leaves twisting up and moving throughout the road they were standing upon, the wind ruffling their fur and blowing around Alraumon’s leaves as her face showed an expression of real relaxation. The direction from the wind showed a patio for a restaurant, where a few Digimon were sitting, which was suspended above a small, trickling river. The light of the water reflected to give the patio and the wooden bars that kept the suspension it’s slowly flowing white glow. It seems that was the restaurant that Kiwimon wanted to eat.

Hikaru chortled when Kokuwamon goes like 'Anything but the bits'. What good is bits when you're dead and no longer yourself? What good is it if you got absorbed? Eh well. "So if I capture you for anything else but the bits you would be fine with it?" Hikaru joked.
The scenery was rather breathtaking. It... it honestly made Hikaru happy that he's here... If only he got time to show all of this to Perry... maybe she would appreciate it a lot. How the wind whistled on his ears as he flew, how the sunlight gave new touch of lime to the green leaves, and how the vibrant color just looked like it wanted to be immortalized. Thankfully, he's not alone in thinking so. Yuuki is taking video of the entire experience.
"...That was beautiful."
"Made me want to whip out a canvas, sit here for hours and just paint, to be honest," Hikaru admitted.
The two inhaled the scents for themselves. It indeed makes oneself calm. However, it doesn't last long. The smell enticed them go inside. They haven't noticed it, but they're rather hungry. After all, catching the Roadrunner ins't exactly the easiest thing to do, child stage or not. Kiwimon was rather fast on his feet.
Hikaru dropped down Kokuwamon and walked toward the restaurant.
"Let's see what they have shall we?"
"Anything you want to eat?"
"Let's try their favorite menu and today's special."

“Yes! Anything but my sweet, precious bits!” The kokuwamons answer was said with such confidence, that it was clear it was earnest. Taking him seriously was obviously a challenging task, one that even the twins who worked with him would struggle with. Appreciating the scenery was a lot harder on the grabbed kokuwamon, but once they were calming down, he was elated to be let go.
Alraumon chuckled as the two experienced great joy but stepped off of her brother, bapping him on the head with some effort! “Don’t pick me up and run off like that! You’re lucky they enjoyed it…”
Kiwimon could only make this movement with happy closed eyes which seemed like a devilish snicker, but it was as silent as a leaf blowing by.
The three nodded at the idea of going to the restaurant. They were looking forward to it! However, as they got closer, Kokuwamon suddenly piped up “Wait! That place is top rate!” he said, in a surprisingly complaining voice.
Kiwimon already regarded him with suspicion, while Alraumon moreso tilted her little plantlike head in confusion? Why could the the rating and popularity of a restaurant be a problem? “We don’t have that kind of bits to spend! It’ll be pricey! We’ll be POOOOR in no time!”
It only took a split second before Alraumon and Kiwimon were already exasperated They were looking off to the side, trying to ignore him as best they could...

Clearly this guy need to learn that Bits is not anything. Any loss on the way to profit should not be counted as a loss. There are things far more important than 'loss and profit'. Either way, seeing the two siblings bantering like that was rather heartwarming to Hikaru who remembered the rest of his kids. He should call Owen sometimes to have a picnic with all of them, or maybe visit this store.
...It was however Kokuwamon's voice that snaps him out of that trance and thoughts of spending nice time with his family. At first he was sheepish but the moment once again money talk came out, Hikaru's eyelids drooped to judging, unamused stare.
"...Seriously? Eh, whatever, come in anyway. Heart's satisfaction is also a profit in itself."
If there are only money, money and money, what is there for it to use? If you have everything you want, what's the need of money? That's why, while you have a bit of things that you can purchase with money, and it made your heart happy you should buy it anyway... or at least Hikaru think so.
"Your tab's on me," Hikaru whispered to the two, making sure that he said that fast enough so the Kokuwamon won't hear.

The Twins didn’t seem to care about Kokuwamon’s chatting, and walked towards the restaurant anyway. When they found Hikaru catching up to them, quickly telling them that, they both chuckled, albeit Kiwimon as silently as before. Alraumon responded in a fast whisper as well, so Kokuwamon wouldn’t hear. “He’s not as bad as he seems, he’s just very vocal about the bits.”
Alraumon had an earnest, heart-warming smile to her and the kind of soft voice that one could only expect from the sweetest of Digimon. It had some purity to it too, and some sense of practice. It wasn’t hard to imagine he might sing a little, especially for those with musical experience. Kiwimon nudged her shoulder with his beak and made a movement with his eyes, which was hard to catch for others, but it seemed Alraumon understood. She turned for a moment, and addressed Kokuwamon. “C’mon! We’ve made up our mind, and you’re not stopping us any more, may as well join us!”
“A-alright fine! This better revitalize you two entirely though!” Kokuwamon was flustered and a little peeved, but he didn’t seem actually angry, eventually catching up to the rest of the group!
The five entered the grounds of the restaurant stationed above the thin river, the trickling of water softly caressing their ears as flowing lines of light slowly glossed over the area, tables and chairs alike, reflections of light from the water below. The atmosphere was phenomenal, and it reflected in the three’s faces. Kiwimon, Alraumon and even Kokuwamon were lit up with a serene bliss, although Kokuwamon quickly shook it off to give a faked look of disapproval to keep up the ‘tough money guy’ act!
The three moved towards their table and started looking at the food and specials...

Vocal about bits? "I'm pretty sure that it's one of his lowest setting?" Hikaru japed under his breath. "Well, that's fine. I'm used to deal with people like that, albeit not as vocal. I just hope he understands that short term profit would not bring as much bits as he liked. You two did well in acting as his brake, by the way."
Had two of them swept in the current just like that and joined KIZNA without hesitation, surely they would eventually face something they does not desire due to blind hope. To ask everything about the team was very wise of them. He'd rather have a teammates who understood the entire risk rather than those who joins in blind.
Looks like the resident saving reminder robo also very amazed with the sight though. Hikaru inhaled, letting the surrounding air to refresh his mind. Honestly, if this is not a restaurant and an inn instead, he would be probably napping already in this atmospheric place.
Hikaru then devolved to child stage again and sat beside his partner.
"Lessee lessee... First I think I'll ask for today's special, today's salad, a fish menu and local juice." Hikaru decided.
Today's special would be a question of how they serve their prided dish... salad is way to check the freshness of their stock, so does fish menu. The juice is more to checking the taste of local fruit.
"...I think I'll just have today's special and fruit juice myself."

Todays server would be a single head from the viney body of a Blossomon, little vines serving as this head’s personal limbs to write down their order with. “Welcome! We hope you enjoy your time at our humble place. May i take your order?”
It smiled, it’s body shining with the light from the calm river reflecting the sunlight moving over it’s body. The rest of the Blossomon was busy taking other orders or helping other digimon, and it was quite a small Blossomon all things considered. Only meant it fit much better in the restaurant.
Today’s special was a unique meat plant which grew a thick, marrow filled bone like stem, with only a thin layer of meat. Ontop of that, this one was grilled using a heatgun, to cook the meat and prepare it while it was still on the plant and alive. The plant was taken out of the dirt and cleaned off before serving the entire plant, roots and all, meat still on it. The three thought on what they wanted. With a specialism on fresh food, what Hikaru had decided for did sound good. Although, they weren’t sure if each of them could eat as much as Hikaru could.
“I think i’ll just take a fish menu… and Kiwimon will have.. A special!” She said, somehow figuring that out from what Kiwimon did. Kokuwamon looked like his soul had left his body. Nonetheless, he’d make his own order. “Just… A salad, please.”
The twins chuckled softly, and leaned back a bit to enjoy the weather… but it wasn’t long before Kokuwamon decided to make use of the time they’d wait for their order. “So… about your faction… what exactly are the details? Would we have any enemies…?”

Hmm, that was indeed atmospheric. The waiter and waitresses being Blossomon seem to add that ambiance somehow. Rare to see perfect stages... is this one adult stage? Either way, rare to see these Digimons waiting tables. Hmmm, so today's special is similar to bone marrow steak? Interesting. It's right to try this place after all, Hikaru thought. But either way, now is for the pitch...
"Let's see... KIZNA is not affiliated to anyone, neither we're at the moment fighting against anyone. We're a neutral force so to say. We prefer it that way. Our focus at the moment is to unravel the secret of Digital World. We're exploration, research based team... but we're slowly expanding, thus we're putting importance of building a place we can call home, and spreading our fame to Digital World." Yuuki began.
"To further reach our goal, we need to get more work force. And for that, we need more fame. One of our attempt in doing that is to create a city, and establish both its infrastructure and superstructure. For that, we need merchants and trade. Only with proper trade that our city can flourish. However..."
Yuuki took out his D-Nexus and showed the three of them hologram of the city's location.
"As you can see, it's located in Shining Sea, place so far from other civilization, and the farthest end of the north. We have yet to find an appeal that would let merchants stay and consider this as a great business venture. So... for the meantime, we're pouring all of our capital to city reconstruction project."

Alraumon thought about it as Yuuki spoke, nodding and listening. So did Kiwimon. Kokuwamon was dissecting everything he said more firmly. “Well, that sounds pretty go-”
“No, if we’re going to do this, we’re going to do this right! There’s still so much to ask and uncover.” Kokuwamon interrupted Alraumon, giving her a surprised expresison. Kiwimon seemed less surprised. Kokuwamon then sighed before explaining. “As a merchant, your reputation is everything! Everything you support, everything you stand for, the things your organisation and allies do, whether they do it with your sanction or not. Even if we’re safe there, it doesn’t mean anything if that doesn’t help us prosper!”
Alraumon was astonished and the variety of ideas that Kokuwamon presented on the table. Kiwimon tilted his head a bit left and right, not in confusion, but sort of in the fact he didn’t agree nor disagree. Kokuwamon continued though. “So, Yuuki, you say that you stand for neutral force and like to be at, but you’re all based in exploration and research… and uncovering secrets. To what ends would you go to uncover these secrets? And what kinds of secrets do you want to uncover, and what types of members do you accept? Hmm?”
Alraumon felt uncomfortable at how forthright Kokuwamon was, and blunt with his points. He sounded so toxic and accusatory. She wanted to speak up, but her brother stopped her with a quick signal. She crossed her arms with a worried huff.

"Wasn't it you that got pulled to this by the pitch with and almost got suckerpulled?" Hikaru teased the Kokuwamon, chuckling. It wasn't rude, but hey if they want to go that far, might as well as make a tease out of it! "You're not wrong however. It's indeed best to know further of our goal, huh..." Hikaru sipped his juice before continuing.
"...How much do we know about history? 100 years ago? 200 years ago? What about the beginning of why humans come to Digital World? How much is documented, how much does Digimon care about history? Digimon does not have that much interest in science, and more to survival... field of science and history is something that Digimon rarely dabbles on. So, the question is: What could make the world prosper? What caused human to be called here? How so we can return to those age of prosperity? This is one of KIZNA's vision, to reach that peak of civilization again. A scholar's duty is to find solutions to problem and apply their knowledge to real life, don't you think? What we want really is improvement of Digital World, and to increase the positive image of chosen humans.
....Well, although we won't deny that it's also for personal satisfaction.
As for what member we picks among our rank obviously we pick associates that we can trust. If we think they have what it takes to be member of our team, we'll pick them... If our judgement is wrong then.... Well, that is our fault."

Kokuwamon sparked a little bit, his machinic face moving to an annoyed expression for a second. This Dorumon was one hell of a tease! Couldn’t he see the Kokuwamon was being serious now! Little sparks of irritation harmlessly sparked around his horns, which Kiwimon just looked at with the expression of someone holding their laugh. The two both calmed down as Hikaru went into the story of KIZNA...
The three considered the speech they had. Alraumon couldn’t really see the first links, and Kiwimon required deep thought. Alraumon started seeing some logic to it though. “There could be ancient plants… data been buried away in seedbank storage bases for a long time… Only a group ready to harvest that… and repair the data could get it.”
“And know how to repair the data, and teach others how to do it…” Kokuwamon continued. His own interest was in mastering the art of coding. After all, the best coder in the digital world could be the most powerful being to ever exist… but other than that, it was simply where Kokuwamon’s talents lay. But the two looked to Kiwimon. Alraumon continued “Bro… doesn’t really look at old crafting techniques though. He’s never been patient enough to study.”
Kiwimon feigned offense! Well, he took a little offense, but the mute bird just couldn’t be mad at his own twin sister, simply huffing and looking away. Alraumon chuckled, knowing he was just acting a little with her.

"Indeed. The Digital World is ripe with mysteries, and don't you feel curious just how much those things that people see as just junk data actually could bring us back to point of prosperity? Don't you feel curious what sort of effect they have, what are their taste, what are their uses, and many more? Curiosity and desires are what I call justice!
And you don't have to be fixed about the past. You can apply your current techniques on it. If the technique of old doesn't interest you, what about the materials instead? If neither the technique nor material interest you, how about the design or something else? There are so many things to be taken. There's nothing good on just fixated on the past. Past is there to be your teacher, and it's how to adapt it to the present future need is what you need to focus on. Curiosity is good, but to develop that to something useful is definitely what we want! That is what KIZNA is doing!"
Hikaru hoped by saying these, the three understood more of what the team stands for.
"We simply hates stagnation," Yuuki added. "We want to change Digital World for better with what we found, what we craft, what we could help with. As long as our help is welcomed, we'll help everyone in Digital World, and at the same time, we just want to be remembered as a positive influence so to say. That's why we need as many people as possible to make this a reality."

His story was convincing, to all three of them. It offered a way for all three to improve their skills, no direct enemies, as the digital world lacked tyrants who tried to prevent the world from changing so they could stay in power. It even came with a great economical offer that fascinated Kokuwamon.
The only thing holding them back really, was that it seemed like a big decision to make. This reflected in their behaviour, as Alraumon scratched her chin. “All the signs point to yes…”
Kiwimon nodded in agreeal. Everything seemed to say they should do it. The lot was interrupted as their first dishes were served though. Hikaru and Kokuwamon received their salads first, each of them being served their drink as well. It was only a few seconds of waiting before a brilliant plant, the meat basically glowing with shiny perfection, the rippling light form the water shining on thick bone and well-scented marrow. There were three. One for Kiwimon, one for Hikaru and one for Yuuki. Kiwimon’s eyes sparkled as he started carefully working the meat off of the plant’s bone, pushing it up and putting it into the core of the bone, into the marrow for extra flavor.
The fish also arrived, golden crisp and crunchy to the touch. Even as Alraumon just carefully grabbed the meat, it crunched and parts of it broke softly. The only words that would be spoken right now were: "Thank you for the food!”
After which it was said, Alraumon bit into her fish, creating a delightful loud crunch that filled the air, as the flaky gold pieces of fish cracked and broke off into her mouth for her to chew. Kokuwamon stared at the money vanishing right before his eyes, half-heartedly munching some of his salad.

"Well, looks like the talk about recruitment has reached an agreement? It's alright to ask questions or wishes for any benefit after that, you know," Hikaru said. Ah right, the foods. Of course, they need to eat the food before it cools down too much. Salad first... fresh, crispy, with extra crunchiness when he bites into it, his favorite, especially when slight moisture from the leaves tricked down to his tongue.
"Mmm, my praise to the chef, heh heh."
Next would be the fish... ah, supple meat, juicy, and the skin is crispy to perfection. Such a nice taste and texture. He wonder if the bone can be eaten too... maybe he'll make a presto fish one of these days. He doesn't like fish bones to some degree due to mistakes in eating bones and causing some stuck on his throat... but that's story for another day.
"What's wrong, my metal friend?" Hikaru asked Kokuwamon "You should eat more you know? What's the use of money if not spent well? Without any values attached to it, moneys are just simply scrap of metal and paper. If it hurts your conscience, just enjoy more of the food."

“Your every word taunts my existence.” The Kokuwamon slumped a bit before eating more salad. The crunch was lovely but his emotional state was in turmoil. The other two chuckled as they enjoyed their food. Alraumon commented “Give him a little break~ he’s still a great programmer and uh… I suppose you could say he’s here to balance the scale”
Kiwimon made a snickering movement to accompany the idea. It’s true, they didn’t care much for money, maybe a little too little. But hey, when you combine the three of them, they had one healthy sense of money together. The two others who lacked a care in the world enjoyed their food. Alraumon didn’t seem too concerned about fishbones. Then again, she didn’t seem concerned about anything as she just ravaged her meal. One would wonder if her mouth was just some kind of meat grinder with the carelessness she ate with.
Kiwimon… Well. his beak was touching things and the food was getting smaller. It seemed he had difficulty progressing with eating whenever you were watching, but the moment you blinked and looked at your own food, his meat special was suddenly eaten a good bit further. It seems his handless eating methods were some kind of enigma. Maybe it was some kind of black box code that only relayed new information when you looked away and looked back at it. Either way, no one knows exactly how, but the food does vanish and Kiwimon seems nourished.
The three often exchanged thoughtful gazes. Clearly they still had the question on their mind. Kiwimon gestured something to Alraumon, who stopped eating for a second (she was nearly done anyway) to ponder it. “Now… that’s a question I could go to the dark area and back for and still wouldn’t know…”
Kokuwamon looked at her with a confused tilted head. He required translation, not pondering. Alraumon answered. “Where else do we go now, if not try Kizna?”
“Well… when you put it like that.” Kokuwamon’s eyes opened fully for a second as he thought about it, his big red eyes gazing into the sky as the light reflections dance across his dark grey skin. “From what i heard, we won’t be restricted to Kizna’s base at all when we’ve joined, will we? We can still do as we please, we just do it with badges on our chests.”
