Pop Up Restaurant - Silver Wings [Open]

scarab: ok, my neemon

---

A restaurant that rotated locations wasn't something that Hisato hadn't heard of before. He'd heard of rotating seasonal menus before, and something akin to what Ryouta's tamernet announcement entailed, so he figured it'd be alright to show up to help a friend out.

Well, someone he'd consider a friend at the very least. Plus, there was probably good food involved. So, as someone who rarely ever used Tamernet, he got Scarab to send the response of "Sure, we'll go." and the bug promptly did so by sending....That.

Hopefully Hisato'd never see that and ask 'why a Neemon.'

Okay, enough with the preamble. Onto the actual day. The hills were far more forgiving a climate than the desert was, so Hisato was...not in an EV suit this time, thank god. "...Ooooookay, that's a train car." The teenager uttered out loud, while Scarab crawled up and nodded.

"Yep. That's probably the kitchen. Would be a good place to put cooking appliances, so good on Ryouta. Hey, why don't you go and see if he needs help or anything of the sort?" The Wormmon posited. "Uh...Why?" The teenager replied.

"Who puts an advertisement on TAMERNET? Someone who needs help beyond customers. And you could definitely use some more experience with cooking, too. You just fucking suck at it." Scarab's explanation was punctuated with claw movements. Mostly for emphasis, but also to drive the point of Hisato just SUCKING at cooking home.

"...No need to remind me, you clown."

That's at the entrance. What a display.

Well, looks like before the store even finished its set up, someone already trying to challenge the two? In friendly way obviously. Valt definitely overheard what Skadi said and inches closer to the duo, crossing his arms as he heard the two talking.

"...Oh, that's damn brave of a claim, don't you think?" he said finally as they said their piece. The towering XVmon commented as they seem to think of doing some betting. "Skadi, you got a tendency to run your mouth. I love you to pieces like a little sister but you know, such confidence could be your downfall... You're lucky that for five days real world time I'll be away as security for Aniki's shop, or I would have suplexed you for that cheeky comment." Valt ruffled his disciple's head he then turned and noticed the other two.

"Oh, Scarab and Hisato eh? Fancy to see you here! Do you want to grab something to eat? Here's the menu," Valt handed the two menus, he also handed another two at Kenny and Skadi. "Anyway, I'm going to set up some of the line. Looks like some customers are already here...  Some are probably here to shit on the food for shit and giggles though, now that I'll try to fight... But eh, hope not."

With little over few minutes top open, Valt is standing beside a sign that says "CLOSED". He's anxiously looking at the clock, ready to flip the sign to "OPEN" anytime.

One rare sight? A Dokamon beside him. Who's that even?

Normally, the sight of a giant Champion-level Digimon looming over them would be more than enough reason for Kenny and Skadi to jump onto the defensive. But as they turned to see the familiar visage of Valt, the friendly ExVeemon partner of Ryouta, and Skadi's senpai, they could only look up as he lightly, and playfully, scolded her for her comment, before ruffling the young Valaismon's hair, making her giggle once more affectionately, as she rubbed her head, and smiled up at her senpai.

Kenny couldn't help but chuckle himself, either, as when Valt left to address the blue Wormmon and the teen, the young man just smirked lightly at his partner, who turned to him, and added, "He's right, you know." If anything, at least he didn't have to get cream all over his jersey today, or in public, so that was a bit of relief. That Skadi just didn't know when to quit, didn't she.

Regardless, it seemed that at least Valt knew who the other 2 were, the boy Hisato, the Wormmon Scarab. And as they got their menus from Valt, just a few minutes before opening, the two nodded and smiled in thanks, before taking a look at what was available. Hopefully they didn't need to overthink about what they wanted to eat if it all sounded so good from description alone. But Kenny's eyes slipped away over to a certain other Digimon next to Valt.

It seemed Skadi noticed too, as she lowered her menu quickly to take a good look at the metal-gloved creature, "A Dokamon?"

"He looks pretty tough, honestly. Remind me not to end up on the business end of his fists." Kenny whistled lightly as he took a better look at the possible pint sized powerhouse.

"Don't worry. I'll make sure we stay on his good side, at least." She promised, before turning over to Valt once more as Scarab asked about the tiny teammate, "Yeah, he looks pretty interesting. Is he a new disciple of yours?" Of course it would be like Valt to essentially fish for new ones to add to his ranks, honestly. Just ask Ophelia.

And besides, as far as she was concerned, any new disciple of Valt was a friend of Skadi. Just ask Ophelia. Again.

"Yeah, we're here to do 'good deeds' that are actually just helping spread the seeds of capitalism." Scarab nodded, as though this were likely one of the wisest things he had ever dared to put out of his insectoid mouth. Honestly, Hisato hadn't figured they'd be allowed to cook. Just wait tables and serve, which was probably the extent as to which he'd want to be involved in helping out.

Eeeeven if it was for, quote unquote, character building. "Oh, I get that. Bets would've been pretty fun, still. I think I've met her before, too. She seems like a good 'mon." Even if he didn't even know her name. It was understandable as to why spars were off the table for the moment. A restaurant's opening is some serious business.

Hisato raised his brow at the Dokamon. Admittedly, he hadn't seen this Digimon before, but his way of speaking was...interesting. "Why're you ashamed...?" He asked, before looking to Kenny. "I don't think he's about to punch anyone--if anything those arms seem more suited for heavy lifting...Or blocking stuff? I'm not sure."

"Yeah pie in the face," Valt ruffled Skadi's head fur once again. "She need to calm down sometimes though, or maybe let me counter now and then with bet of my own. Though honestly, when it comes to betting I won't bet in something that I'm sure that I have no chance of winning."

Seeds of capitalism... "Well, hmn, if you want to be paid, what do you think would be nice for a part time worker like you two then?" Valt asked. "Frankly we're new to all of this. Something like a hundred bits per hour and whatever tips given to you I guess? Two hundred? Two hundred and fifty? Hmmmn."

Either way... looks like he got four helpers today. "Well, regardless, you guys will be paid individually rather than a set. Goodluck, although I don't expect that the first day going to be so full, considering we're still no name. I'm not sure how much Digimons would read Tamernet either."

As for Azul, looks like Hisato seem to be confused why he's embarrassed. "Because I have been a bad example of a senior disciple. Aniki and Oyabun, they have been very understanding of my wound and paid quite a lot for my recovery, and all I wished was to show something that would make them proud, but unfortunately as thing goes, I'm unable to do so. In fact,I got left behind very significantly."

"Being hurt for something that's not your fault and beyond your capability to defend against shouldn't be something to be ashamed of," Valt commented "Be at ease. At any rate, it's time to open the store."

And with that, Valt flipped the sign. Some customers already started to pour in. It's more relaxing pace at the moment thankfully. "Let's see... you four, you can either decide to change into the restaurant's uniform, or maybe just start waitering with what you have on, but just in case please wear this." it's pins... aptly made of silver and shaped like wing.

"That means you're part of the staff."

With Valt and Scarab putting in their own two cents concerning Skadi's bad habits with her constant bet obsession (and Skadi happily bunting her head on Valt's hand in response to the hair ruffling affectionately), Kenny couldn't help but let out a little chuckle in response, "Honestly, I'm not sure why Skadi's so ridiculously keen to make bets with you at all, Valt, considering you pretty much hit like a truck, no matter the form. I mean, I remember when i was a kid, I wandered into a casino section in a local club just because I was curious, and all I got out of that was my dad lecturing me ad nauseum about how betting and gambling, period, was bad."

Skadi feigned guilt, "At least my bets are harmless! And fun!"

"Yeah, I'll give you that, but at least discuss them with me and Valt first, for now on! And try not to drag me into them willy-nilly. Like I said, I prefer my clothes actually salvageable, thank you very much." He winked to both Skadi and Valt, the former snickering mischievously in response. She just liked it when her tamer looked silly, sometimes.

But on the topic of Hisato's uncertainty with this voluntary job, Skadi was first to up and pat his leg reassuringly, "You'll be fine, buddy!" She pointed out with a smile, "And besides, if you or Scarab need any help with anything, don't be afraid to ask. Think of it as friends with benefits!"

Kenny just raised an eyebrow towards Skadi, "...Skadi, you do know what the term 'friends with benefits' actually means, do you?"

"Hm?" Upon Skadi's confused look and tilt of the head, Kenny leaned down and proceeded to whisper... something into the innocent Valaismon's ear, just to protect any wayward earlobes that happened to be a little too close for their own good. A light blush started to form upon her face, which only grew as Kenny continued further. By the time he was done, her face was practically luminescent, "...oh."

Kenny couldn't help but chuckle once more. 

So, from what Kenny and Skadi could gather, Azul was pinning the blame on his own supposed 'failures' onto himself, and oh God, how badly Kenny could relate, considering he grew up in an environment where he was practically a scapegoat for pretty much anything that went wrong back in primary school. Something that was all too happy to follow him to adulthood to this day. 

Still, Hisato was right. And Kenny smiled to the Dokamon reassuringly, patting the robotic reptilian on the back, "He's right, you know. I mean, bad shit does happen sometimes outside of your control, and let's be honest here, it can feel like complete and utter bullshit, but at least Valt here has your back. And hey, if you need any help, do give us a call, OK?" Just as he finished and backed away, Skadi had come over already, and was now opting to throw her arms onto Azul, giving him an equally reassuring hug and nuzzle.

After pulling away, turning to Valt offering to either get them to change into their uniforms or just wear the pins, while Kenny opted to put on the pin himself, he paused for a brief moment to think something over, eyeing Skadi for a second, before turning to Valt once more, "Hey Valt, can you nab a uniform for Skadi please, or at least something to cover up her wool up? I don't want her to accidentally get her wool over the food by mistake."

Skadi just glanced all over her incredibly woolly body for a good moment, before she nodded to Valt. After all, it would come as common sense that nobody would enjoy getting wool all over their food by complete mistake. It was best to nip it in the bud now instead of worrying about it later.
