Streamer Coffee Company [Viktoriya]

Post by Desmond Edmund on Apr 17, 2019 23:12:37 GMT
In one of the wealthier neighborhood of Shibuya, there was a place called the Streamer Coffee Company where a lot of people goes to grab a quick drink or meal. The place was rather big and busy but this afternoon, there were fewer people than usual. Which was perfectly fine for Desmond and his little partner, Demi, who was in his holosuit. The blond tamer was in an orange shirt and black vest while Demi had a small blue shirt and a little bowtie. The two of them were sitting around a round table for four people. The human was reading a small book named "Le petit prince" in French. The book wasn't long but it was a nice easy read. With a cup of dark coffee in front of him, it was the perfect spot to relax.
Demi had Desmond's headphone on his head with some soft piano playing. The Digimon too liked the place. There were a lot of people dressed fancier and he too liked having that bowtie around his neck. He would look at the front door looking at people that would come in with a smile. The blond tamer would keep an eye on his little partner just in case he goes running around or something. "Look! Look!" He said a bit too loud. "Demi, don't shout." The Digimon in disguise nodded and pointed at the door. There was a very round guy that just came in. Demi was about to point at him but he looked at Desmond who shook his head. "Don't point at people, Demi."
Luckily, the round person did not notice them. Demi kept looking at him while giggling. He never saw someone shaped like this and to him, it was funny. Desmond sighed but he let Demi have his fun, he wasn't harming anyone so far. After a few minutes, the human would put the book on the table and slowly sip his coffee while making sure Demi was still being tamed. The Digimon was still looking at the front door with wide eyes.
And then, there was a girl with white hair that opened the door. Demi never saw someone with that hair color. "Desmond!" He turned around to look at his tamer who put a finger in front of his mouth. "Not too loud, Demi." The Digimon nodded up and down rapidly. "Look! Look!" And he pointed at the girl. "Demi, stop pointing at her." The small kid looked down, defeated and sad. The Frenchman sighed once more. "It's okay, I'm not mad at you." After a second, Demi looked up once more and whispered. "Can I go say hi?" The blond shook his head. "Please?" He said with puppy eyes. Desmond sighed. "Fine, but be polite, okay?" And Demi instantly went toward the girl with white hair and stop in front of her.
"Hi! I'm Demi! You have beautiful hair!"

Upon arrival to a rather well-to-do coffee shop, she and Vera would simply sit at a table and wait for someone to come by and take an order. With a piano piece playing in the background, it reminded her of the numerous fancy restaurants that she had been to in her childhood. "I do hope you're fitting in alright in Japan, I would hate to see you unhappy." The pink bulb-like Digimon spoke to her in a very comforting way. Viktoriya smiled as she responded back gently. "Do not worry, I'm fine with fitting in eventually, Vera." However, another person had excitedly commented on Viktoriya's own hair.[break][break]
The girl turned her attention to an orange-haired kid, probably about no older than 10. "Oh, I'm glad you liked my hair, little one. I got it from my great grandmother from my father's side." Assuming that her own hair seemed to stand out from people who had normal hair colors, maybe it was the result of the Siberian winter flowing in her veins. Vera noticed the child talking to her partner and chimed in. "Are you lost, young man? Do you need help finding whoever's watching over you or is your caretaker here with you?" The bulb-like Digimon seemed to be wondering where the child's babysitter might've been, maybe whoever was taking care of him was in the same place.[break][break]
The child's excitable demeanor made Viktoriya chuckle. "My name is Viktoriya Romanova, it's nice to meet you. This is Vera, she's my partner. In case you are wondering why I have a rare last name in Russia, my father happens to be a descendant of the last Imperial Family of Russia." Seeing the child like that always brought up much happier memories of her own childhood, so much that she could not help but miss it a little.

Demi was very happy that Viktoriya told him her name even if he wasn't sure how to properly pronounce it. He looked up at the lady and tried to mimic her saying her full name. It didn't work. "Vik..." It was easy to see that he was trying really hard to do it though. "Tor..." And he already forgot the rest of her name. None the less, He began laughing and extended both arms on each side. "Victory!" He shouted hoping that she would be willing to have a hug even if he totally mispronounced her name. He would wait for her to either refuse and accept his hug and then look at her little partner. Vera, on the other hand, was much easier to remember. The little boy looked at the other Digimon and it took him a few seconds to realized she was indeed a Digimon. He never saw one outside the Digital world without a Holosuit but people in the coffee shop didn't seem to mind it. "I'm not lost!" He said while pointing to the blond that was carefully looking at them.
Desmond saw the girl with white hair talking to his partner and sighed when he tried to say her name out loud. He quickly stood up to see if he was getting unwanted attention but luckily, the place wasn't that crowded. He made his way toward the three of them and opened his mouth to say something before seeing the Pyocomon next to the young lady. He was no expert but that did look like a Digimon. "Hey." He slowly said while Demi crouched down to be at her eye level and tilted his head on one side. "Ooooh! Are you a Digimon?" He asked with curiosity. He then tried to poke her with a finger but Desmond swiftly placed a hand on his shoulder. "Be nice, Demi."
"Sorry about that, he gets excited easily." Desmond apologized for his partner trying to poke Vera. As he looked at Viktoriya, something about her seemed familiar. They might not have met before but he was pretty sure that he saw her white hair in this coffee shop before. While the Frenchman wasn't a regular client, he did come here a few times. "I'm Desmond, Desmond Edmund." He said while offering his hand to shake. "Nice to meet you, erm... Viktoriya?" He only heard it faintly from where he was sitting. He, however, did not hear Vera's name.
"Desmond!" Demi began shouting again. "Vera is a Digimon! Like me!" The blond tamer sighed again and place his hand on his head. "Don't shout too loud, Demi." Desmond wasn't sure what Viktoriya knew about Digimon. She did seem to be pretty comfortable having hers around so maybe she knew a bit about them. "I'm a DemIMeramon!" This time he wasn't as loud. "What kind of Digimon are you?" Before she could answer, the Frenchman apologized once more. "Sorry, he is just very curious." He looked around him to see if they were getting unwanted attention for a second. No one was really paying attention to them, which was perfect.
"Would you like to have a seat?" Desmond then asked Viktoriya. "We are at that table there." He said while pointing the table in the corner. "Yes! Come with us!" Demi wanted to grab her hand but stopped midway and looked at Desmond who was slowly shaking his head. "Please?"

When the orange-haired child asked Vera what kind of Digimon she was and as much as she wanted to answer, another human apologized for the child's curious behavior. "Oh, no worries, I won't mind that he gets excited and curious." Viktoriya answered his apology, much to the relief of Vera. As Desmond himself was kind enough to offer her a place to sit, she would be happy to oblige with his offer. "Of course I would love to sit with you. Is that okay with you, Vera?" Her question to her own partner yielded a simple nod from the female bulb Digimon.[break][break]
Once things seemed to be settling down a bit, Vera proceeded to answer the DemiMeramon's question with a chipper tone. "To answer your question before Desmond showed up, I'm a Pyocomon. It's a pleasure to meet you, Demi." It was the first time she had met with another Digimon who had a much excitable personality, much less one who acted more like a child. Viktoriya did notice that Demi seemed to have a bit of trouble pronouncing her name, so she could teach him how. "Demi, you seem to have trouble pronouncing my name, yes? Just pronounce it like the American people do or I can teach you how." She smiled at the child while Vera watched her mistress talk.[break][break]
The name itself might've been hard to pronounce for young children, but it was easy enough than most odd names that people have come across in other countries. Hers just happened to be the Russian equivalent to a latin name which had the obvious meaning of victory.

Desmond nodded and smile before holding Demi's hand as they went back to their table and sit down. Demi quickly hopped on his chair and put his elbows on the small table. The little boy would bob his head from side to side with a broad smile on his face. Meeting new people was always exciting for him and even more when there's another friendly Digimon. "Desmond?" The blond tamer turned his attention to the Digimon in disguise. "Yes?" He asked before taking a sip of his coffee. "Can I have some orange juice?" The DemiMeramon asked with puppy eyes. "Of course." The human said while laughing. How can someone say no to this face? Desmond would then look at Viktoriya. "Would you like something as well?"
The blond tamer would raise his hand to get the attention of one of the waiter. "You can pick anything, it's on me." He would then wait for the waiter to come by and take their order. After taking their order, the gentle waiter would go get their stuff. "It would be very kind of you to teach Demi how to pronounce your name, Viktoriya." To be honest, he too wasn't so sure if he was saying it right. "What is an American, Desmond?" Demi would then ask. "Don't worry about that." He simply responded. Desmond was born in Paris while Demi never got outside of Shibuya so he had no real knowledge of people's nationalities. All he knew was that they were humans and he was a Digimon.
Demi would carefully listen to Viktoriya. He really wanted to say her name right. He began mimicking her mouth to get the right sounds but it was harder than he thought. Desmond was more used to none Asian names so it wasn't too hard for him. The fireball in disguise would nod now and then and open his mouth without making a sound. It might take him a few more minutes before he would be able to say Viktoriya as she does.
"May I ask you a question if you don't mind." The Frenchman said after she would teach them to say her name correctly. "How did you and Vera meet?" Demi came into his repair shop from god knows where and was trying to eat his cellphone when they first met. It was always intriguing knowing the story of the other tamers. Also, he did kind of freak out seeing a fireball talk but everyone would be, most likely. As far as he knew, the existence of Digimon wasn't a thing most people were aware of. It was strange that every tamer he met comes from Shibuya that was surely a mystery to Viktoriya as well.

When Desmond asked if she would like something as well, she responded with a chipper tone. "Green tea if you won't mind." It might be the first time she had a taste of Japan's own tea, not to mention that tasting something new for a change was always welcome. Vera began speaking to the waiter as she wanted a taste of drinks too. "Oh, apple juice for me!" It was cute to see that Vera wanted to learn more about the human world as she did live in the Digital World for quite some time. Meanwhile, Demi was practicing a lot on how to pronounce the girl's name which wasn't hard to pronounce by human standards, but Digimon might have a hard time doing it.[break][break]
Anyway, Desmond asked her how she got to meet Vera while the pink bulb-like Digimon listened. "My first time in the Digital World was a bit scary as I have gotten lost and had no idea where I was. When Vera first approached me, I couldn't believe that she could talk and I wasn't sure if she was hostile. Luckily, she wasn't the least bit hostile and actually told me about the world she comes from, so she warmed up quickly to me." She finished as she had thought of asking the same to Desmond, maybe she might want to know his side of the story as well. The world that Vera came from had so many mysteries to be solved in time, but she wouldn't mind going back to know herself. "If you don't mind me returning the question, how did you and Demi meet?"

Desmond took a sip from his cup as Viktoriya began telling him how she met Vera. Demi was patiently waiting for his juice to come and smile happily at Viktoriya and her partner. After she told them her story, it was their turn to tell her their side of it. "Do you remember, Demi?" the blond tamer asked the DemiMeramon. The little kid looked at him with his mouth open for a while not saying anything. Desmond would laugh a bit after a few seconds of seeing Demi trying to remember anything. "It's okay, it was a while ago." He simply said before taking another sip.
"I have a small repair shop. I was replacing some wires on a laptop when I saw a flash of light coming from behind me." And he paused to look at Demi. "I had my cell phone charging on the wall where the light came from so I quickly turned around to see if something exploded or something. That is when I saw Demi for the first time." The Digimon in disguise was trying very hard to remember that moment but just couldn't. "I think he was trying to eat the cellphone. Well, he had my cellphone in his hand and looked like he was about to eat it whole." He laughed a bit upon saying that.
"Luckily, he stopped when I shouted at him. I was sure that I was hallucinating. A fireball trying to eat my cell phone and potentially burning the whole place down. I reached for my fire extinguisher and was about to use it on him." He looked at Viktoriya and smiled. "That was when he spoke to me. He was smiling and asked for food. I didn't know what to do back then so I just sat down and gave him a snack thinking that maybe he would go away after that."
"After the snack, he told me that he was still hungry. So I gave him more food. It took me a while before realizing that he was very real. After that, well, I just let him live at my home. I never had siblings or pets so it was something new for me, having someone around. And it is hard to not smile back when you have him around being all joyful."
"And that is how I met him." Desmond gave a pat on Demi's head as the waiter came back with their order. The DemiMeramon would quickly grab the glass and start drinking it. "Don't drink too fast." The blond tamer told him and he responded with a nod. Putting his empty cup on the table, the Frenchman would wait for Viktoriya and Vera to enjoy their drinks before asking a question. "So you got into the Digital World? Have you any plans of going back there? Demi and I got there every now and there. I guess I'm just trying to figure out how his world works."
