"Well, how to explain this... Meme are basically something like... a funny response, or something like a response that gained internet fame, either for how amusing it is, or how outrageous it is... basically I can't really put this into words exactly, but basically, they're something that humans seem to love because how they tend to be rather unserious," Gryz explained. "And about '1-800-AREYOUSLAPPIN' thing is related to... errr..."
Tetsu quickly pulled out a video of a seal slapping itself on its belly, and then few replies about that. He wondered if the two would get it just like that, but that's reference after all. He hoped Cassie understand that she looked as cute as the seal on that video!
Indeed, Cassie raised a good point. "Well, that's the thing. Sometimes in your ambition you can forgot logistics like that. That's why the type of person who said 'I want to rule the whole world' should not be treated as a sane person. As unification of a nation alone is already hard, imagine uniting an entire world under your rule... how does that work? I guess you can opt to just become ruler in name, but what's the use of that?" Tetsu commented.

So memes were... Funny responses that became popular on the internet? Ophelia would think over Gryz's response for a second; trying to briefly make sense of it. Cassie seemed to be thinking it over, as well; though after a few moments, she would speak up next; the little Gomamon-X commenting "Aren't jokes sort of the same as funny responses, in a way?" with a slight tilt of her head. Ophelia glanced in Cassie's direction, before mentioning "I suppose; though I dunno what sort of joke this would be, if anything..."
As Tetsu pulled up the video though, the duo would perk up curiously; leaning in to watch the video of the seal. Ophelia blinked briefly, tilting her head, before chuckling a bit. Cassie, though...
... the little Gomamon-X would begin imitating it; leaning to the side so that she could repeatedly smack her belly, just like the seal! Ophelia's chuckle would become a somewhat surprised laugh, at this; reaching over to ruffle Cassie's headtuft briefly.
For the movie, Cassie and Ophelia would both think over Tetsu's response. Ophelia would scratch the side of her head, mentioning "Well... I mean, he's a God of some whole other 'world', from how it sounds - isn't he? Ruling the living world doesn't sound like it'd be that big of struggle for him..." "What would he even do, once he manages it, though...?" Cassie added; humming softly to herself as she rested her head on her front flippers. "It kinda sounds like there wouldn't... Really be much else to do, once he got there!"

"Well, it's hard to explain meme, but... How about you think how Bu usually talk? She sorta speaks in meme? Well, sorta. Or Hasenya. Hasenya is probably more apt comparison considering... you know, she says something about "hnnngh colonel" and out of sudden Hikaru's mighty slippers flew straight to her head as if it's preprogrammed to do so," Gryz explained. "So yeah, memes are sort of joke, or joke responses."
Gryz and Tetsu chuckled at Cassie repeating the seal's action. "I can see why Valt thinks you're cute now," Gryz commented offhandedly.
So regarding the question... "Well everyone have their specialty. Between ruling the life vs ruling the dead is different thing altogether. The dead does not need to eat, they does not need to work, they're practically... low maintenance I guess?" Tetsu commented. "And yeah sounds about right. Hades hates the world of the dead, so it's not likely he'll turn everything into world of the dead... but afterward then what? Because this is cartoon means for kids though I don't think they gone that far in thinking what they should do after."

Ophelia tilted her head a little at the mention of the way that Bu or Hasenya sometimes talked, seeming to be thinking it all over briefly. "Yeah, I guess that makes sense...?" She would respond, tilting her head the other way now as she wondered; what kind of 'memes' were out there, to learn...?
Well, either way, now would come Gryz's comment about Valt finding Cassie cute - which would make the two pause. They'd both blink - Cassie perhaps a bit more owlishly than Ophelia - before the former would speak up, the little Gomamon-X murmuring "Valt... finds me cute?" in a soft tone; growing thoughtful and contemplative as a result.
Ophelia, too, couldn't help but ponder this - before chuckling, grinning in Cassie's direction. "I mean, hell yeah! You are pretty damn cute, Cass!" She'd remark, reaching over to ruffle Cassie's headtuft all the while. Did the notion that Cassie had been considering completely go over Ophelia's head? Perhaps.
As Tetsu responded to the duo's questions though, they would both nod; quietly considering it. "Well... If the people making the 'cartoon' didn't consider it..." Ophelia begun, leaning back against Tetsu and glancing up at him. "... Then what do you think would've been the next step, instead?"

"Ah well, it came up in our drinking session in Hikaru's bar, but don't worry, no one get wasted."
The usual participant are Gryz, Valt and Warg, with Hikaru serving them while also chatting. These four generally likes to drink moderately after work on the weekend. Hikaru himself meanwhile just drink until he become slightly tipsy then drinks a lot of water. Warg meanwhile just sipping a lot to enjoy the taste rather than to get drunk. Valt? Valt probably just want to get a bit buzzed so he can relax before he drinks a lot of water. As for Gryz himself, he actually just wanted to taste new cocktails is all.
"So you can say that Valt really think that you're cute..."
...If Valt heard this he'll probably suplex Gryz for leaking that one out. Either way, Tetsu wondered how to answer this.
"...Let's say if it's up to me, and I hate governing the death, then I guess I would probably redefine the entire thing, Probably after defeating the other Gods, I would just... make new one, which in my opinion would operates better than the old one that I don't like. I'll study what my predecessor's faults are, and made sure to not repeat that with the newer generations. Granted, it might not be the right choice, but that way, there's this feeling of... accomplishment I guess? I won't feel bored having to just rule the world by my lonesome. That's me though...
But if you ask me personally... I think I'm not interested in ruling anything at all. I prefer to walk among the mortals, something that Hades wouldn't really like I think."

Cassie would blink once more at the confirmation from Gryz that Valt, indeed, had found her cute - paying more attention to that than the mentioned drinking sessions, it seemed. Valt thought she was cute. At first, that seemed like a really nice thing; but... The more she thought about it, the more a flush began to settle on her cheeks - just barely visible, underneath the thinner fur that covered the majority of her body. He found her cute, but... Did he find her cute in that way? Did he want to court her...??
Ophelia, though, seemed to be paying more attention to the mention of Hikaru's bar and drinking, at the moment; and the Spadamon couldn't help but make a face at it, wrinkling her nose. "Alcohol smells and tastes like shit to me; why do people like it so much, between that and how it makes you 'drunk'?" Ophelia questioned; unable to see why something that not only tasted bad, but also had bad effects, would be so popular among older digimon. Of course, part of her distaste for it probably attributed to her keen senses; making the strong smells and tastes of alcohol more apparent to her than for other people, more likely than not.
Ophelia and Cassie were quiet as they listened to Tetsu's thoughts on what he'd do, if he were in Hades' place; the duo both nodding slowly in acknowledgement. It made sense to them, really, to basically do a 'take two' with the gods; though to be able to walk among mortals, made Cassie think a bit - something having visibly occurred to her. "... Though, it'd be kinda sad, to be the only 'immortal' in the world..." She'd muse softly, half to herself, half to Tetsu. "You'd end up constantly outliving anyone you meet, or fall in love with..."

"Sometimes people can't relax when they don't do something... Valt for example, he... is always very tense after mission, you see...Everyone have this rhythm between fight and relax mode. Some Digimons can switch from fight to relax easier, but in case of Valt, he can switch from relax to fight easily, but from fight to relax... that's harder. That's why he need something to calm down, and that's usually alcohol.
I guess the feeling of something cold after work that's not water could instill some instinct that you're home, and relaxed? Well, he said that's not necessary and usually just there as a treat for himself. To dragons, alcohol is like soft drink after all. They don't get drunk as easily compared to other type," Gryz explained. "Oh, and sake are sweet you see? They're not bitter."
Tetsu just smiled at Cassie. "You're a good girl aren't you, Cass? That's why there are some stories about how immortals tends to become crazy, or selfish. I guess that's because nothing in the world able to satisfy them anymore. Befriending mortal will make them fear you for your unaging appearance... and if they're good friend, you'll cry a lot when they died. Sometimes you don't see any worth anymore in this life because you're eternal. That's why I feel... transient life is better. Or maybe, one where cycle of life and death is eternal.
'I'll meet you in next life', wishing that once again we'll be friends... Isn't that nice? Well, that's my feeling anyway."
...And now they're at the kidnapping scene it looks like.

So Valt and the others drank alcohol to relax? Ophelia made a bit of a skeptical expression - having a hard time figuring out why the taste of alcohol was bearable to them - but... She supposed that made sense, otherwise. She supposed that snuggling was just her alcohol - as far as relaxing went - after a good fight. And Sake wasn't bitter...? "... Maybe I could try a bit of sake, sometime, then...?" Ophelia would wonder out loud. She didn't know for sure whether she would be one for alcohol; but trying more civilized things was interesting, to her.
At being called a 'good girl' though... Cassie would flush a bit, growing sheepish. "Eheheheh..." She'd giggle shyly to herself; smiling back to Tetsu, as he explained how immortals are sometimes depicted in stories. The smile did drop slightly; though... Not so much out of any sadness, but more her appearing contemplative once more. "Do you think someone who is immortal would be less lonely, if they had someone else that was immortal, too?" She'd ask; glancing back to the screen. "I imagine that having someone like yourself would make things a little easier, even if it's probably still hard to live thru..."
And the idea of reincarnation, of meeting someone again 'in the next life'... "... That's kind of like how Digimon reformat when they die, yeah?" Ophelia would ask next, glancing over to Tetsu and Gryz. "At least, it sounds a lot like it, all things considered."
As they reached the kidnapping scene; the two sisters' attentions would be grabbed by the screen - the both of them feeling a certain tense anticipation at wondering what was going to happen next.

"If you don't like it, you shouldn't try, but then again there is this very sweet, almost non-alcoholic sake called Amazake. It's usually drunk to raise your body temperature slightly, so basically just to warm your body up, so to say... Anyway, you don't have to drink if you don't want to. It's like coffee. Drink if you like it, don't drink if you don't like it. There is always substitute anyway, like soda," Gryz answered.
Indeed, someone would be less lonely with more immortal on their side, right? But... "...Sometimes, eternity is not really great. And even if you have a mate that is also eternal like you are, you would eventually get tired of them without any excitement.
Things are great because they are transient. Stable things... how to say... it's nice, we're afraid of changes because we're transient, but if we're eternal, then we would hate stability. We would look for excitement instead. Humans and Digimons are the same, they're driven by desire. We always want something that we don't have, and rarely be thankful for anything that we have." Gryz commented
"Indeed, it's good to be thankful for what you have, because satisfaction is an important thing. Your soul will only felt full with satisfaction," Tetsu would say.
Well, the topic has gotten a bit heavy, but now Hercules has become a normal human, except his godlike strength because the last drip has yet drunk. The next scene is definitely one of the most famous where he handled two snakes and just tie them together.
"...I always envied that," Tetsu commented.

So Amazake was supposed to be sort of like sake, but nonalcoholic...? Ophelia would tilt her head to the side briefly; seemingly thinking it over. "I mean... If it's nonalcoholic, I could probably give it a try." She'd suppose, shrugging a litte. "Like... It's the alcohol part of shit like that that I dislike; the alcohol smell is weird as hell, the alcohol taste is weird as hell... It's all weird to me, and I honestly can't get myself to like it. I don't exactly care for the idea that it might make me unable to think straight if I happen have too much, either." Maybe it's something she could warm up to; but as far as she felt went, for now? She'd rather stay well away from any alcohol, for her own nose and tastebuds' sake.
Cassie seemed to be in some form of agreement; nodding a bit. "I dunno how I feel about alcohol, either, but... Amazake sounds like it'd taste good...!" She'd chirp; though after a moment of thought, the little Gomamon-X would glance down at her can of soda - adding "But soda's pretty tasty, too..."
Ophelia and Cassie didn't have much else to say to Tetsu's subject over immortality, and how that might affect someone, though. He summed things up nicely for the two sisters, they believed; and there wasn't much that either of them could add. Cassie, though, would still comment on it - murmuring "I suppose that it's probably better, then, that we aren't immortal; huh?" primarily to herself.
As Hercules began to tie the two henchmen-turned-snakes together though, the duo couldn't help but laugh a bit; Ophelia calling "Hell yeah; even human cubs can kick ass!" with a wide grin. She couldn't help but note Tetsu's own comment, though; glancing over to him with a playful smile. "Envied Hercules being hella strong?" She'd ask; adding "You seem like you're ultra strong already, with how big you are." as she poked at one of Tetsu's muscles.

"Yeah I get you. It's an acquired taste, you see... Do you know that for some type of animals, some sweet things are actually bitter?" Gryz asked "Our tongues are kind of closer to those of humans, so we can register different tastes. However, some Digimons have certain coding on their tongue that makes them like certain food over the other. This is not universal however. For example, I like honey most. Taste of honey and meat together is irresistible to me. In that same logic, Valt told me that he doesn't think much of alcohol's bitterness, and the heat on his throat just felt like a little warm stuff passing through. Perhaps all dragons are the same because Hikaru also said it's harder for him to get fully drunk. However, apparently beast types get drunk quite fast."
Cassie seem to like soda. Interesting. Some Digimons actually find soda unbearable due to the carbonation. The tingly sensation usually favored by machine or electric type Digimon. It's interesting either way.
"In a sense, yeah, it's great that we're not immortals," Tetsu answered with a sagely nod.
Tetsu was happy for the praise, but honestly? "It's not like I can do that sort of thing. But I admit it felt good to be stronger than your peers. I think it takes nearly all boys in my class to defeat me in armwrestling? Heh heh~ But see, Hercules' strength is even greater than mine. You'll see later!"

So different animals and digimon had different perceptions and preferences in flavor? Ophelia would glance down at the snacks that they had gathered; thinking it over briefly, before she'd glance back to Gryz. "Is that why I prefer meat over fruits or veggies, then?" She'd question; the gears in her head visibly turning, as she tried to process this. Honestly, they were learning a lot today; so all that information that she was processing, was starting to build up in her head...!
Cassie, though, indeed liked the soda. The carbonation was a bit 'eh', but she enjoyed the sweet taste that it had otherwise; sipping on it still. "I wonder what other Gomamon like me enjoy, then... Fish?" She'd tilt her head to the side briefly as she thought things over; before mentioning "I dunno if I like fish more than anything else, really - I think I could be happy with any meal. Sweet stuff is really nice, though...!"
"Heh; I'm pretty sure you got a stomach of steel, Cass; you can eat just about anything!" Ophelia lightly teased, gently elbowing Cassie - to which the Gomamon-X would blow a raspberry at her; prompting Ophelia to laugh briefly.
The notion of Hercules' strength being greater than Tetsu's, though... Ophelia would hum briefly; supposing that that must've been why he was envious of Hercules. "Well... You're not a fully grown human, right?" Ophelia questioned; glancing in Tetsu's direction, before grinning in an optimistic, hopeful fashion. "Maybe give yourself a few years, and you'll start giving Hercules a run for his money; ehehe!"

"Yeah that's the case," Gryz nodded. "Usually, we beast Digimons, our data came from various data about animals in real world. Yours is a lion, and lions prefers meats. So that's why you love meat most. If there are deviation, for example... you like fish more than meat, then usually it's just pinned as personal preference."
Gryz also nodded at Cassie's question. "Generally fishes, if not meats that only can be found on the northern area. I heard some meats outside this city tastes like chicken more than beef. In our case, our meat plant are imported and adapted to our climate, so they taste like Hokkaido beef instead."
"Oooh, so that's why I like the meats from Ys most! Yeah, it does taste kinda like wagyu, the sirloin one!" Tetsu commented
"That's right... but I think when you heard that you looked like you wanted to explore?"
"...I mean, of course I want to explore! The meats in Digital World are mostly red or black meat. I want some white meat too!"
Gryz wondered this sort of passion is why the farmers in Ys does not treat Tetsu like a kid the moment he get into his farming gear...
As much as Ophelia's assessment felt nice, Tetsu shook his head. "Nah, humans got upper limit of what they can do. Hercules' strength is about a hundred times of the peak humans... Now, if I can biomerge though..." he looked at Gryz who just looked away.
Speaking of which, one thing that different from Ratatouille before, Hercules is a musical. Tetsu seem to sing along with the muse as they sings. He got a nice vocal it sounded, probably because his lung volume is bigger than kids of his age.

Gryz's response would make Ophelia think for a moment; the Spadamon nodding along with understanding, for the most part. However... A question would occur to her as she thought it over - namely, the distinction between fish and meat..! "... But isn't fish just another type of meat?" Ophelia asked; tilting her head. "Like... when people say they like meat, why can't fish be included in that meat?"
"Maybe cause fish meat's different enough to other kinds of meat?" Cassie supposed; thinking it over as the two of them listened to Tetsu's and Gryz's conversation over the different kinds of meats.
"Trying out all the different kinds of meat that're out in the world, though, could be cool...!" Ophelia mentioned with a smile; trying to think of the different flavors that could be out there.
As Tetsu retorted to Ophelia's assessments, though, the little Spadamon would tilt her head curiously; a term that Tetsu used drawing her attention. "... Biomerge?" She'd ask; not believing that she'd ever heard of it before. "What's biomerging like...?"
With Hercules being a musical, though... Ophelia and Cassie would curiously listen in - both to the music from the movie, and Tetsu's singing along - as the little Gomamon-X began idly tapping out the beat with the tips of her claws.

"Allergy difference," Gryz answered "some people are allergic to meat, but not with fishes. Some people are allergic to white meats, but not red meats, and so on. Basically, when you refer to meats, you're referring to farm animal's meats. Fishes, although some can be bred in certain case, are generally harvested directly from the sea, in manner of fishing. So they're not quite categorized as "meat".
"Come to think of it, have you ever ate different sort of meat you find in Ys, Cass? I mean, before coming here that is. What sort of diet do you and your family have?" Tetsu asked.
Biomerge huh?
"It's a process of combining a human and a Digimon. Normally, a solo Digimon have better data composition compared to partnered Digimons, but solo Digimons usually have it harder to evolve to Super Ultimate. Meanwhile, partnered Digimon like me, we have to process of evolving. One is by undergoing a Burst Evolution... another is Biomerge. Biomerging is a process of uniting the human and the Digimon into one, and ascending the Digimon stage by one. It only works for super ultimate.' Gryz explained.
"...Apparently, KIZNA's D-Nexus specifically have a program in it called UNISON SHINKA, which in where the Digimon data is instead applied to the human so the human looks as if they're wearing Digimon armor. And if it's Belphemon... I only can imagine it with me looking demonic to be honest!" Tetsu continued
"Hmmm, but at the same time, weakness of Unison is that the size of the Super Ultimate is always size of the human, so... Tetsu will probably have a little bit of a hard time against bigger enemies."
"Right? It's sort of a letdown."
