Mae was honestly unsure as to why she hadn't opted to visit the 104 building in Shibuya yet, despite having frequented the Human World quite a bit by now. The mall, despite sharing quite a few similarities with the one in Terminus, had a good few qualities to hold over it's digital counterpart.
For one, it was built with humans in mind, so Mae didn't necessarily need to worry about being crushed by any careless Digimon. For another, there was a kind of...charm that the place held that Terminus did not. Yet, that was not the full extent of why Mae had come here today.
The disguised Meicoomon, who was in all honesty not clad in anything fancier than a tank top and shorts or her usual hairpiece, had come here to investigate any rumors about some rogue Digimon here who didn't...quite get the memo about what had been transpiring in the Human World with DATS yet, or understood the gravity.
She dodged and weaved through the occasional crowds, at the entrance of the 104 building, and pressed on into...a food court. Where would a digimon be hiding here without a holosuit...?

All in all, Rin had a lovely day today! She visited a nice arcade over in Shibuya and watched people play games! The owner of the arcade didn't really appreciate her trying to eat the circuit boards of the cabinet, but what can ya do when the munchies grab you? She was sure her lifetime ban would be lifted eventually, so she didn't let it bother her as she strode through the shopping centre. Wow! Humans could really build fancy things for their shops! Her wanderings took her to the food court, where the sheer smell of edible food made her mouth water. Oh, how she'd love to eat this stuff, but Carlos told her she can;t eat food in a food court without "paying" for it, so she held herself back! Instead, she just blithely wandered around!

You know, the possibility that maybe the rogue Digimon that Mae had been on the lookout for were a little smarter than she had anticipated. However, the Meicoomon had something that not most other people held. A sense of smell, one that was finely attuned to hunting prey down...as much as Mae actually disliked doing that.
Of course, actually using her sense of smell revealed...a lot of things. Namely an abnormal smell. It was clinical, chemical in nature. Yet, as the Meicoomon searched for the source, there was nothing to indicate who it belonged to...Except, it grew stronger as Mae neared a certain point.
Also, it smelled like ramen.
"Wait, ...ramen? What?" Mae kept peering around, before her gaze settled on an apparent source...A...Girl? A really short one too, holy crap. "...Lady, you smell weird."
WOW.

Rin was wholly unaware that she was being targeted by Mae. She was, when Mae caught up to her, drooling over a whole wall of snack bags. She blinked when talked to, then turned to Mae. Despite the rude statement, she smiled at her. "Oh, hi! I smell weird? Sorry! It's how I smell! I just had ramen! Do you like ramen? I love ramen! I also love tempura! Oh, and I love manju!" ...this girl was definitely odd. And very very hungry, it seemed. Her belly grumbled when Mae stood before her, which seemed to confuse her! If only the two realized the meaning of this.

It took Mae a bit to notice the snacks. They looked a bit enticing, but she wasn't sure how much actual yen she had on her to be able to afford this stuff at the moment. Not that it mattered, of course. She only realized just now that what she said towards the small girl had been a tad out of character for her. "N-No, no, I should be apologizing. I shouldn't have said that...."
It's weird though, how come one smells like ramen immediately after eating it? "I mean, I like it but I don't eat it so much that I start to smell like it. Those two foods are pretty nice, though..." The disguised Meicoomon offered a tilt of her head. Was this person hungry after already having ramen?
...Peculiar. "Have you seen anything weird around here...?"

"Oh, I smell after everything I eat, dunno why! But it helps me remember what I had for lunch!~" She looked back at the wall of snacks. "Hmmmm, some arare sounds nice right now..." She drooled and disassociated, but quickly returned to the here and now when Mae asked her if she had seen anything weird. Had she? "Well, earlier there was this girl, she was dressed like an anime, that was weird! And even earlier, when I watched a cicada crawl up a power pole, the cicada flew away and against a tree! It was silly!" Those were indeed weird things...but not what Mae had been hoping for.

...Was this girl truly human? Did humans really tend to smell after they ate? And smell like clinics mixed with ramen? Mae's gaze followed Rin's as it met the wall of snacks before the girl started to recount things that she herself saw as weird. A girl dressed like an anime? Well, that could realistically be your average Tamer, given Mae's experiences within the Digital World and Shibuya alike. And a cicada doing that?
Sounded like something a cicada would do. Indeed, none of these were what Mae had hoped for in the slightest, which was a little bit distressing for the disguised cat. "No, no, I mean...Those -are- weird, but I mean...Stuff like furry things that you don't really see around here. Or talking animals...?" God, this was the worst way to describe a digimon there was, wasn't it?

Ah, so many snacks! They occupied her mind once again! Ah, tempura, arare, beer nuts, takoyaki...so much good food! Oh, but what she said wasn't what the other human was after! Furry things that shouldn't be there? Talking animals? "I think I saw a talking animal, yes! It was huge, like 6ft, and its face didn't move, and it was giving out pamphlets in front of Tokyo Tower!" Rin looked proud having worked out what Mae was after! Sure, Mae could also be talking about Digimon, but Carlos said not too many people know about Digimon, so surely this girl isn't talking about them!

Now, while Mae was confused at a 6 feet tall talking animal, she had enough knowledge on the human world to know that sometimes, people called those things 'mascots,' who were decidedly not digimon. "Just...handing out pamphlets and it's face did not move..." She repeated to herself, putting a finger on her chin.
...How did she tell this girl that's not quite what she was looking for? She seemed so proud of that...Hm. Perhaps... "Oh, did you see any other ones? Ones who's faces did move? ...What was the huge one like?" Perhaps if Mae kept up her questioning, something might be revealed.
...That and she could probably learn something about big animal mascots as tall as Meicrackmon.

"The one with the pamphlets? He was all pink, and wore overrals, and had a pointy head! Think he was called Noppon! He was nice!" She giggled, then looked thoughtful. Hm? Ones whose mouths moved? "Oh, you mean Digimon? Nope, didn't see any! They'd be stupid to be out in the open! People can be so mean to them!" Rin smiled brightly, unaware that she had just called herself stupid. Which, to be fair, she was. "Hey, if you know Digimon, maybe you know Carlos! He's super nice! He bought me ramen, and tempura! He has this Impmon that's mean on the outside but he's nice on the inside!"

Yeah, speaking truthfully, Mae did not know what this mascot was. Or what sorts of pamphlets it was giving out. Noppon sounded like something from one of Titania's video games though...Maybe. Mae was taken aback at how readily Rin responded regarding her question.
She knew what Digimon were and she also knew how they acted. "...Y-Yeah, they really can..." ...Safe to say that she really got caught off guard, even more so when Rin mentioned Carlos. As in the same Carlos who...she hadn't seen in a long while. The same Carlos that got a hole punched in his chest by the penultimate Digimon that Mae loaded.
"...Yeah, I know him. The Impmon's a bitch, though. They've helped me out before...Anyways, since you know about Digimon, I heard there were some around here trying to muck stuff up, but...It kind of seems like they're smart enough to not be in the open, so...I'm not really sure where to look or what to do to try rooting them out."

Rin pouted a bit. "Hey, Dio is really nice! Sure, he acts all tough, but he's real nice! Carlos wouldnt hang out with mean people! You know him? That's cool! Friends of Carlos are my friends!~ My name is Rin! What's your name???" She then put a finger to her chin when Mae mentioned Digimon mucking up. Muck up? Why would they do that? "My parents always say only stupid Digimon draw attention to themselves! We should find those bad Digimon and eat them! Then they won't be bad anymore!~" Ah, energetic girl, she was!... ... ...wait, eat them? What the hell?

To that, Mae didn't really have a lot to say. "...Wasn't nice to me. Heck, I think he's scared of me." A simple statement but ultimately one that could convey Mae's own experiences with the imp. "But...yes, I'd say we're friends. Not close friends, but friends nonetheless. I'm Mae, nice to meet you, Rin."
And finally, the girl was even starting to speak Mae's language! "Well, you need to consider that they just might not know any better, so...They might not all be bad? Anyways, yes! Let's go find an-..." She trailed off. "...Eat them? Goodness, no!" What the actual...Okay, call it ironic for the Meicoomon to be appalled at eating things but that caught her off guard. "How does that ensure them not being bad?"

"Hehehehe, hi friend Mae! Good to meet you!~" The girl did an adorable little twirl at this. Then, she stopped, and put a finger to her chin, thinking. "Uh, I thought eating bad Digimon was ok! They're bad and all! Can they turn good? I thought bad and good are absolute! That's what my parents said! They said, eat Good Digimon because being part of you is the best for them, and eat Bad Digimon because they deserve it! But Carlos told me the first part is wrong! Is the second part wrong too?? Would my parents lie??" She seemed utterly confused and a bit upset now!

"It's good to meet you too." The disguised Meicoomon nodded. This girl seemed to have a rather black and white sort of view, though with that mention of her parents, Mae had a bit of an idea where such an outlook would come from. "...It's not really as easy as that, I'm afraid. Nor is it...anything like that. The first part's very wrong, but the second part isn't always right too. Sometimes, even the most evil of Digimon can have a change of heart, you know?" Mae took a brief pause, thinking a bit before she continued.
"And...I don't know your parents. But if they'd actually tell their child to eat the good, then I suspect they might...? I'm sorry if I'm jumping to a lot of conclusions right now, truly."
