Pickle nodded and stepped accommodatingly away from Jojo's bag, giving his partner space to get used to being around other people. Ami seemed to be an incredibly shy person, but Jojo was already reassuring her and Pickle knew they shouldn't push her too fast and risk making her more uncomfortable than she already was. Instead they nodded and smiled reassuringly at the timid girl. "It's like he said, just take your time. We won't push you."
And then Zachary started talking, about himself, about his experiences here, about his idea. And what a wonderful idea it was. Pickle was enraptured by the vision they were imagining, a place for everyone to interact, to connect, to share information and help each other learn and grow. It was wonderful it was amazing it was exactly what Pickle wanted the world to be like. It was an idea they could get entirely behind because it was all about building a world where everyone helped each other.
They stepped forward and grabbed one of Zachary's hands in both of theirs when he finished, eyes full of stars. "Yes. I'll help you. I want to make something like that, I want to build a place where everyone can find help and work towards harmony. You have my support 100% on this project." Their grin was wider than it had ever been, almost looking too large for their face. "It's a beautiful idea and I want to make it real if you'll let me help."

"Literally." Was uttered calmly as a succinct response to Pickle's question which proved that the poor lady truly had barely any clue about the digital world and its civilizations. Evidently, so did not the other attendants of this small if delightful gathering of greenhorns - naturally excluding her. Nonetheless, John's cosmopolitan and gradualist attitude was refreshing, given that the lad was clearly not dissuaded immediately by her words to visit Whitewater in the future. "Quite true." She commented approvingly before stretching herself and folding her arms in a relaxed way.
"My pleasure." She voiced kindly to the apparently disappointed young man named Zaber. She would have attempted to cheer him up and share all her positive experiences with him to maintain his enchanted perspective, but she could not bring herself to do so. She too had lost this naivety some time ago, hence sparing him the anguish of a sudden realization was probably for the better. Even if her direct honesty hurt today, it was bound to be infinitely less than a rude awakening. Every person she was capable of successfully recommending caution was a worthwhile win to her. It might save their lives one day.
Raising a hypothetical eyebrow, it was difficult for the platinum white fennec to simply believe that the jacketed boy had dealt with a Demon Lord. Considering her disastrous encounter against Daemon, his statement had either been an hyperbole or a mere misconception. Regardless, she had no intention of calling him out on that. Indifferent towards the zealous kingdom in the skies and its fanatically bigoted people, she instead watched the modifying card utilized. Obviously, she was not impressed, keeping a neutral mien. Ever since her class with a certain rascal and his terroristic tendencies, she had grown to avoid such nasty tools. She preferred independence anyway.
Listening to further statements spoken by Mr. Scryer, the restrained Arniomon suddenly had a beaming grin on her lips. Scratching the back of her head, she chuckled in self-evident appreciation of the compliment and credit she had received. Not knowing what to say as a reply, she decided to remain silent and let the chap have his moment of momentous monologue. Nodding after the first section was done, it was clear that she did not mind venturing with these kids to show them what this realm had to offer. This of course included her unparalleled service as a sentinel. It's what Toki suggested her to do, right?
Then however, the long speech continued following a brief interjection of the unnamed Panthermon. Blinking with minor bewilderment, Cion initially figured that the talkative digidestined had a point when it came to many individuals being overwhelmed with feelings of loneliness and confusion. But upon hearing the idea of crafting a place where newcomers would be able to meet, share and team up, she could not help herself but to smirk with a bit of doubt.
Such an undertaking was titanic, and definitely required planning, dedication, resources - and certainly not, spontaneity, momentary fervor and supporters he knew barely anything about. Softly biting her lower lip, the tiny fox was grateful that the black feline did not hesitate to clarify the facts at hand. The unusual cat palpably made for a wise and caring partner. It was rare these days to find a voice of reason like him. Still, Zachary's aspirations and the verve he displayed were admirable. It too was a rarity to behold someone with ambitions greater than themselves.
"Oh, it indeed sounds crazy." Cion agreed somewhat cheekily. Nevertheless, it was visible in her facial expression that she had taken a shine to the kid and his ardent zeal. His heart and impetus were pure, but so was his ingenuousness. "But... I admittedly am interested in learning more about Earth and its inhabitants." She explicated in a friendly manner without showing starry-eyed optimism. Such projects, something she knew, were an unfathomable, continuous effort few endured.

John listened to Zaber's speech with great interest, he's reminded of times where he's seen DATS agents stopping him for inspections, luckily for him, Runa is very good at hiding from others, so they've been able to avoid that. "So what your wanting to do is the exact opposite of what DATS are doing? Well, can't say I'm not interested. Honestly I'd be all for joining, but my partner has equal say in our decisions, so what do you say?" John looks back to his backpack, waiting for a response.
The backpack unzips a bit, and Runa's eye's peer out of it. "If this is gonna mess with those nit wits who wanna keep me from entering the real world, I'm in!" She says, then go back down in the bag. John then turns back to the group, smiling. "Well guess that's that! But like Panthermon said, this is probably gonna take a lot of time and effort, we're going to need a place that we can have as a home base, can't just meet up here all the time. Eventually the group will get too big, and that'll get really crowded."
John sits down on the fountain, turning his head to Zaber. "You probably already have a place in mind, right? You seem to have put a lot of thought into this."

Ami was mostly silent through everyone else talking. She could tell that they agreed with Zaber's idea. Not that she didn't.
Mikumon looked at the girl confused before sighing and speaking for her. "Okay, although I don't much like groups..." She starts while looking at Ami "I can tell that Ami likes this idea"
The brown haired girl jumped a little. "M-mikumon" the cat flicked her tail in annoyance.
"What it kind of looks like I stole your tongue somehow so I might as well say what you're thinking"
The girl sighs patting her partner. "Miku....you know me way too well." She looks at Zaber with a quiet determination "as hard as it sounds to pull off ....I agree. It's a good idea and I want to help in any way I can"
Ami adjusts her goggles a little, trying to keep the small amount of confidence she'd discovered. "It's really an amazing idea... it's really what I want more than anything Zaber. So...I'm with you! All the way!"
Well, looks like when it comes down to it this girl has some confidence. Miku sat down smiling proudly, she knew all her partner needed was a kick start.

Panthermon had been the voice of reason and glad that Cion acknowledged his logic in this too. Zachary was always a dreamer. Behind his cool, calm and somewhat withdrawn-looking guard, he was at most a trusting, kind and creative individual. His writing and drawing proved he had an imaginative mind capable of creating many wonderful ideas and things. It would pour out of him. Thus, he at times needed a voice to reign in his creative side back to reality.
Luckily, everyone voiced both restraints-- but also encouragement at the noble idea. To create a group where people from both worlds could meet and congregate in safety and understanding. It was true, too. The whole purpose of Tamers was to bring both humans and Digimon together. Zachary smiled as he explained. "It can be a network. Between Digimon who want to either find tamers or know more about the human world, and Tamers who need to meet others. Tamers in our world are isolated to keep their secrets, but not with us. "
Zachary laughed as Runa's appearance from the backpack. It was a cute fox to his eyes, and Panthermon glanced at the fox with curiosity. John's mention of a place already, Zachary gave some thought to it."Well, technically no. Not officially, but that would be on the list. There is one place I had visited that I think would be fun for a place. The Emperiyan Skies, but that is easier said than done. But its beautiful up there."
"What glitters also blinds, Zachary..." Panthermon growled softly as he 'yawned' revealing his maw and teeth impressively.
Zachary grunted at his partner's comment and shook his head. However, his confidence was rekindled by the shyer Ami's new confidence to speak up. There was a real hope that Zachary's plans wasn't just random nonsense, but a real idea that could grow. "Thank you... All of you," he said, as he sat up from his seat on the fountain. "I know it will take a lot, and lot of help, but thats all the more reason for us to do this. We cannot keep living in fear of one another, so why not try and grow together. If we do that, others will follow-- I know it. For now we start small, but this can become somthing people can depend on. I say, why not?. " he said confidently.

Everyone's support for Zachary's idea only made Pickle's grin grow wider as their joy bubbled up. This was perfect, this was what was needed, these people were amazing and together everyone here and hopefully many others in the future were going to do amazing things. But first, of course, they all had to get there, and that wasn't going to be easy.
"Well you know, things that are worth it tend to require a lot of effort and work! We'll get there, we just need to figure it out and put in the time! If this works, it'll be revolutionary. Humans and Digimon being able to come together and learn safely, working together to make both of our worlds better, and uniting! Honestly, it's always bothered me that Digimon gotta be kept secret from most humans, even though I understand why it has to be like that right now. But maybe after we put this together and work at it for a while, we can work out how to deal with that as well." They bounced in place as they spoke, looking thoughtful.
"I mean, I've seen that when Humans and Digimon come together, we help each other grow and get better. Maybe if more people had that kind of thing, both of our worlds would improve? I dunno, it's all hypothetical right now. For now we just gotta work on actually getting this idea off the ground." Pickle looked at all of them curiously. "Should we go eat and talk about what we do next?"

"I advise against your idea that seems solely based on aesthetics. Not only are the Empyrean Skies difficult to reach for most digimons, not to mention humans, but its proximity to Luminas will likely proof detrimental. It's a city state of bigoted, racist, often totalitarian zealots that have extreme, cut and dried opinions on viruses and beings they deem 'unholy'. Nexus' aspirations of freedom and cooperation would be an antithesis to its heteronomy. This might lead to conflicts in time. Though I could protect us, I can't do so 24/7, nor do I know for sure if I can face an entire angelic army on my own."
Taking in a deep breath, Cion finished her explications. Nodding in agreement with the short complement of the briefly impolite Panthermon, her gaze shifted away as to not need to behold his maw. Not because she was impressed, or perish the thought afraid, but simply due to considering it a bad mannerism not to conceal a yawn with a paw or hand. Of course it was inconsequential, but it was these small aspects that made her who she was - a fine lady who had no problems setting records straight; figuratively speaking.
Noticing Zaber's acts of disapproval, she folded her arms, unsure if the simple-hearted lad comprehended what he was dealing with here. Undoubtedly his ambitions were noble, admirable and invaluable in their concept and fervor, but the execution was ultimately the sole aspect that mattered for it yielded results. Although not random nonsense, prudence was essential. Maybe he was bound to learn this someday, even if it was through the hard way as she had done. But... "Indeed, it's worth a try at least."

Things seemed to be going well with this, everyone seemed to be in agreement about Zaber's idea for helping out. As for the location idea, John had some opinions about the Empyrean Skies. "The Empyrean Skies is a tricky place, We've never went there, but we've heard some stories. Not all of them are good, so we decided to avoid going there, unless we need to for some job or something."
Runa shifted in her bag, not liking to hear about that place. "Well I think now would be a good time for us to go and eat somewhere, there's some good food places here that we can go. We can figure out a place later, no need to rush this after all." He said, looking around. "We've been to a lot of them, so I can give some recommendations for what's there. If you all want them of course."

A weak laugh escaped Zachary as Panthermon grumbled, sitting down lower with his chin on his paws as he realized Zachary got the grasp of proposing such an idea. "Okay... that probably a little overly ambitious. That and I just LOVE flying islands. They are so cool-- but unrealistic. Sorry," Zachary said with a smile, rubbing the back of his head. It was an uncharacteristic smile of him, being so calm looking-- but to show his more caring and hopeful nature. "But yeah, it seems we have some stuff we can talk about. If nothing else, I want to make a place for other tamers to talk to. Even a website for starters, like on the Tamer Net. Even the Tamer Net isn't as secure as we probably hope, but it is a good way for us to communicate too."
At the mention of Cion's wise recommendation, Zachary nodded as he realized the truth to her words. "I promise I won't go overboard. Like said, we should start small... but I know people already who would be willing to help us," Zachary said as he could think of a few people and places that would benefit in support of their cause.
With not much to do left, John made the suggestion they should go and eat. Panthermon rolled his eyes. "What is it with so many children and child Digimon wanting to stuff their faces all the tim--"
Grrr-umble...
Panthermon stopped, an embarrassed look on his face as his own stomach finally spoke for him to betray his own hunger. He tried to play ignorant as if to not notice, but there it was. Zachary hid a chuckle with his fist, trying to not laugh too hard to his partner's tough act.
He felt happy and satisfied that so many of them were there and hope that if nothing else, they could become closer as friends. "You know, I am kind of hungry too. Let's go find a restaurant to eat or something. I made enough bits to afford it after working at Starmon's shop for so long. " Zachary said as he sat up from the fountain's bench. "While we do, let's trade info so we can keep in touch. I have a few ideas I do want to share with you guys. I got a good feeling about all of this, and that we can grow into something new together. "
With a smile and his partner getting up, they would head to a nearby restaurant to eat-- which no doubt all the Digimon with them would love.
