digimonforumrp.freeforums.net/thread/7277/dfrp-valentines-2020-eventShino had heard the rumors and had made contacts with people who had heard about it. She had recently come into contact with another tamer-- named Jojo from his online profile. It was wierd but she seen weirder aliases online. Her's of Nemesis didn't exactly inspire much in first impressions either. Still, what she heard about was something good. NEXUS-- a new net community for tamers and Digimon, and even had a real location for members to meet up. It was recommended by Jojo and after a bit of time, she agreed to meet up with him. It seemed like a good idea, but one person disagreed. " Nope-- I don't trust this sleazy guy! He soooo not your type," Vector the Commandramon rambled in Shino's room. Shino pretty much tried to ignore him as she typed at her computer, researching what she could. She was clearly the focused, intellectual type. It made it odd why she ended up with a partner like Commandramon. " I'm just going to meet him for a simple chat in this place. It be nice to meet the guy in person and ask him questions. Besides, I can't afford to be afraid of other people... not anymore," she said, a mention of her tragedies in foster care up till now. Shino finished her work and opened up the "NEXUS" webpage. If the rumors suggested, by accepting the terms of use and entering the site, a Digiport could be opened that allowed one immediate travel to the home area of NEXUS, which was supposedly some kind of Digital City like Terminus or something. She didn't understand much, but she was interested to check it out. As she left the screen up, she walked over to her closet and stepped inside-- closing it so Vector couldn't see her change. The little gun-toeing Dinosaur watched the closed door as he polished his rifle. " I think you're too good for him," Vector commented in a whimsical tone. " I'm just going to meet him for some coffee. Besides , this place is likely for you too to wander around. You don't have to be invisible here, not unlike the cafe down stairs." she said through the door. A grumble escaped Vector as he thought. The dinosaur was protective of her, as any digimon partner would be-- however, Vector had a bit of a one-sided crush that even his data didn't really give justification for. Most of the time Shino would hit him on the head for any behavior. Either way the fact this could be an actual date made the cyborg Digimon distrust this Jojo. Shino soon opened up the closet and stepped out, dressed in a rather casual attire. She wore a skirt with stockings on that led to her shoes. She also had her jean jacket on, the ttire she choose-- but still, she had no way of telling how her appearance would look in the Digital World. FOr all she knew... the digial world would change her appearance to her 'avatar' state again. BUt regardless, it didn't matter to her. She just wanted to feel somewhat dressed appropriately before jumping out-- even for the Digital World, or wherever this "NEXUS" was. She took out her D-tector Digivice and got ready. " Can I trust you to be somewhat on your best behavior?" she asked Vector. " Behave as what? " Vector replied, trying to hide a hint of a grin on him. Shino rolled her eyes and pointed the Digivice to the website. As the screen lit up, she felt the pull of the Digital Gate-- and the two were sucked inside. ( Next post will be description of Nexus area)

John was currently trying to figure out an outfit for his meet up with this Nemesis he’s started to chat with. He felt that she would be a pretty good fit for Nexus, so he’s wanting to help the team grow by talking with this girl.
He’s been trying to choose between 2 outfits, one is a suit his uncle got him a year ago that he’s modified to be more of a business one then that which would be for a prom or dinner date. The other one is one of his nicer, casual outfits, a green polo with dark blue pants, with some black finger-less gloves as well.
Runa in Viximon form was sitting on a chair in his room, she’s been watching him pace back and forth for the past 5 minuets. “You having some trouble with deciding what to wear on your date?” She asked, getting him to snap out of his pacing, “It’s not a date, were just going to meet up at a cafe at the base, to get some coffee and talk to get to know each other.” He responded, getting her to raise an eyebrow. “Sooooooo a date.” She said, a slight smirk on her face as he blushed slightly.
He turned to the 2 outfits, looking back and forth between them. “This is just new to me, I don’t know if I should go with business or casual?” Runa hopped off the chair and climbed onto his shoulder, giving a quick look at them. “I think you should go casual, I mean this is supposed to be a group that brings humans and digimon together, not some business trying to get the biggest sales numbers.” She argued.
John thought about that for a moment, and nodded. “Yeah, you’re right, thanks Runa!” He said, picking up the shirt, Runa jumps off and walks out so he can change. “Besides, this is just for coffee and a chat, don’t you think the suit would be over dressing?” She said, to which John tilted his head and then nodded at that logic.
Runa closed the bedroom door, and sat on the couch to play some Puyo Puyo Tetris as John got ready. After a few games, John walked out of the bedroom and was dressed up nicely, he didn’t have his backpack this time, and had his digivice at the ready. Runa nodded, and hopped up on his shoulder.
“Nice job, I’ll introduce myself and let you two enjoy your date, maybe she’ll be cute?” She said, getting a slight groan from him. “I told you it’s not a date.” He said, at least he didn’t think it was, and he and Runa went on to the Nexus base.

The digital gate into Nexus was a bit more speedy and less rough than Shino expected as it was full of digital bits-- and through a tunnel-like she would imagine what the internet would look like. By the time she reached the end by the bright light, she emerged without any form of inertia. The transaction was smooth and fast.
Light greeted as the lights that showed at the gate and she appeared-- in the form she was in the Digital World. It didn't seem to matter whether it was the Digital World, or some other parallel digital space-- she took the form of the avatar she made and identified with, even if it was subconscious. Even her clothing was of her more casual and comfortable attire. She always had that muffler scarf and her green teal hair.
However, more important-- was the location as her eyes widened at the sight. The pure, cloud-filled blue sky added to the glistening white and silver cityscape before her. The area looked like from a scene out of a futuristic city only dreamt in Sci-Fi, a mesh of both modern and natural elements. The gate she came from was marked by a large path with a 'moving sidewalk'. The surrounding areas were green with trees, bushes, and grass. Further out, canals could be seen that streamed out through the areas that led to the city, showing from rather ordinary buildings to more futuristic-looking designs like domes and protruding parts. The most noticeable part of Nexus was the grand tower in the center that reached up to touch the sky-- the central area of the town and likely its HQ.
A whistle came out from Vector beside her, the Commandramon almost dropping his rifle at the wonder of this place. "Wow... someone really went all out making this place. I can't tell if we are back in the real world or the Digi-world," the cyborg Digimon replied with eyes of wonder.
"That probably is the design of it," Shino said, trying to feint being 'cool' about it, but even she had to admit... this place was impressive. It was hard for her to imagine that SOMEONE made all this.
Checking her Digivice, she recalled her text about where to meet Jojo. Hopefully, he wouldn't be stranger than 'Ron" but she thought that playfully. Ron might have been young and a bit naive, but he was a nice guy. She had to learn to stop being so guarded of people, but at times people disappoint.
She and Vector rode the moving walkway down to the town area. It was odd for her as she looked around. Many Digimon were around socially, just chatting or going about their own business. Many of them had human partners too. It was odd for her, since she never seen people be so openly around them and without fear.
She stepped off the path and vector hopped off, arriving at a cozy-looking 'inn' located at the west end of the city. It reminded her of her own cafe, except less cramped in by the other buildings. It was made of deep wood and stone, with a small chimney that stuck out on the side of the house. It was warm and cozy-looking as she approached, looking around to find anyone that fit the description of Jojo.
"Oh no... looks like the bastard stood you up. Let's-go!" Vector replied and tried to walk away--
-- only to have Shino grab him by his pack to keep him from going away. "Maybe because we are early, doofus. Quit trying to talk me out of this." she argued.
Vector grumbled. His unexplainable, one-sided crush was making him act more uptight. That and his protective instincts too. There was, of course, no reason for him to be so on guard, in such an open and welcoming city of all places.

John went though no such change when he entered the nexus, to him he looked the same as he did back in the human world. The two of them looked around from their entry point, John was still amazed that they had managed to build something like this.
They still had to get their barrings at this point, but they quickly figured out the way to the meeting place. “So what do you plan to do once we meet Nemesis?” He asked Runa. “I’m going to get familiar with the place some more, this area is big enough that I haven’t quite gotten it memorized yet.” John nodded, thankful that one of them was going to be able to keep the 2 of them from getting lost.
As he approached the spot, he noticed a girl in a somewhat unusual outfit, interacting with some Commandramon. “You think that’s her?” He asked Runa. “If it is, she decided to dress a bit more casually then you.” She said, getting John to lightly bonk her on the forehead. He approached the two of them, waving. “Uh hey, are you Nemesis? If you are, I’m the one who went by Jojo online, nice to meet you regardless.” He said, holding out a hand to shake, Runa waved with her paw.

The two were quiet for the time being in waiting-- till the voice of another caught her attention, and even proved more by referring to her by name. In truth "Nemesis" was like a persona-- a mask used to protect herself that she wasn't consciously in control of, hence her 'attire'. The green-haired girl turned to find the person named Jojo, and the rather adorable looking fox on his person. "Shi-- I mean, Nemesis, yes. Nice to meet you. I'm sorry for my... attire. Coming to the Digital World has rather... unforeseen side-effects for me." she explained as politely as she could.
She shook the guy's hand and her first impression of him was average with dark hair. He seemed nice enough as she was a person who preferred personality over looks. Either way, he seemed nice enough. Though perhaps she was 'charmed' by the adorable fox he had with him.
AHEM!!" a voice spoke to clear his voice.
Shino rolled her eyes at her Commandramon as he shouldered his rifle. "The metal-headed is Vector, my partner..." she added dryly, her clear tone of distaste to have such a crass Digimon.
"What's shaken, Highlander," Vector replied to Jojo, trying to rattle him already as he saw him as a potential 'challenge'.
Shino felt embarassed now, not only by her attire to him but also by Vector's stupid actions. Still, the day was young-- for better or worse, as Shino wanted to try and make a good impression of her own accord at least. Still, her mind was reeling as she looked around at the amazing world around her that nexus was.

Runa flicks her ear slightly as the girl starts to say what she guesses could be her real name, but ignores it, John thinks nothing of it. “No worries, the digital world is a odd place, although this is a new one to me.” John said, wondering why she changed in appearance in the digital world.
His thoughts are interrupted by her partner digimon getting his attention, after Nemesis introduces the digimon, and after his remark, John squats down so he’s level with Vector. “Well, my hand I guess. Nice to meet you Vector, I’m John.” He said while holding out a hand for a shake.
After that interaction, John stands up and addresses Nemesis, “So why don’t we head inside and sit down at a table? I’m sure that would be preferable over standing out here, and once we’re in I can answer any questions you may have. Will Vector be joining us?” He asked, all while Runa was just observing the conversation.

Vector looked at John up and down, seeing his hand. he kept his gun shouldered, like a overly protective soldier till he gave the handshake. "Nice to meetcha!" he said, the 'claw-grip' being a bit stronger than intended, showing some hint of 'dislike' for him.
"To be clear, I am Shino," Shino introduced herself, "But I try to go by my internet handle while like this. Partly it's my 'digital avatar' I guess you can say. " As she adjusted and accepted her situation, she was grateful he still wanted to talk and chat. "And of course we can sit down."
The question that if Vector would be joining-- Vector immediately jumped in before Shino could say anything. "Absolutely!" he interjected. "I'd love for all three of us to enjoy a meal together!" He pretty much invited himself to be involved with that one.
"Oh, joy..." Shino replied dryly.
The inside of the tavern was rather pleasant, like an old styled rustic restaurant with a fire place, wooden floors and furniture and other amenities more commonly seen in the digital world. Many people-- humans and Digimon were there, especially rookies who enjoyed the food on their tables.
As the walked, Shino was in amazement. "I never seen a place so... open. Humans and Digimon together like this. You'd never see this in the real world..." she mentioned, still adjusting to the change in scenery.

John tenses up just a little bit at the handshake, but still keeps his smile, Runa notices this and tilts her head slightly. When Vector said he would be joining them, John shrugged. “Well that shouldn’t be a problem, right? I mean you both have questions, I’m sure.” He said as they walked to the building.
He turned to Runa, “You want to get off here?” He asked her, she looked like she was thinking for a moment, then shook her head. “I think I’ll be joining you guys, since he’s staying I might as well also.” She said, getting a slightly furrowed brow from John. “Really? O-kay, if you say so.” He said in an unsure tone, "Weird, she usually avoids interacting with new people like this, I wonder what's up?" He thought, Runa meanwhile sent a momentary glance at the 2 of them, or more specifically, at Vector.
When they where in the tavern, John and Runa looked around at the people inside, just them interacting normally, regardless of if they where human or digimon, brought a smile on his face. Looking back at Shino, his smile grew at her reaction. “That’s basically the point of our group, we wanted to give a place where people and digimon could interact freely, without having to worry about unaware people from seeing digimon, or certain people getting in the way.”
When they sat down at a table for 4, Runa hopped down to the seat next to him, he waited for when they sat down before talking, “So do ether of you have any questions, do you want any food?” He asked, Runa was standing up on her hind legs so that her front paws where on the table.

Vector didn't miss it-- the fluffy little creature out from the boy's shoulder and he twitched his tail at the sight of Runa. " Ooooh. is it Fox season?" he commented in a silly gesture. Shino groaned and took a hold of Vector's helmet, so she could easily knock it forward to block the dinosaur's vision. The next best thing for knocking him on the head if he kept misbehaving. " Will you quit trying to cause trouble for two minutes please?" she grumbled at the Commandramon. They soon sat down at the table-- Shino at the end-- and Vector finding a chair that clearly made him look like a toddler at the table.  At the question of food, Vector was too quick to bark out. " Waiter-- a tall, stiff one on the rocks!" he shouted impolitely for a restaurant. " Vector, you know you have better manners than this. Keep it up and you're eating outside," Shino warned and turned back to Jojo. " Sorry about that. Let's wait for the waiter and till then, I do want to know how you learned about this place. I did see the Nexus Website, but I didn't know you could open a gate to this place from it. You must have one hell of a computer programmer to do that. But What i am curious about-- is this part of the Digital World or something else? " she asked. As they talked they finally got to see the waiter-- an elder, looking Digimon with a long head and beard of hair wearing a tattered robe holding a cat cane. Jijimon. "Hello, young whiper snappers. And what can I get you today? " Shino briefly looked over the menu and settled on something. " Umm... I'll have the Wasu Greymon Burger and Rasberry Leomonade please," she asked the elder seeming Digimon. " Um... its not made of Greymon is it?" the elder Digimon let out a soft chuckle. "No no, just names we made to our menu to appeal to our customers. " he said and looked to the others. Vector was struggling to make up his mind on the menu. |

“Well, we’re some of the ones who founded this place, we got together one day and discussed the idea of a place like this, after some work this was the result. The guy who made this place and came up with the idea was Zaber, I’m not sure how the whole thing works, I think it’s somewhere in the digital world but that’s just a guess, if you want to know the specifics you have to ask him.” John answered.
John waited for Shino to order, chuckling a little at her Graymon question, and since Vector looked like he was needing some time to choose, he went ahead and ordered. “I’ll have my usual stir-fry, Jijimon, and a rasberry lemonade as well please.” he said, “I’ll have the Digitamamon egg-rolls please, and a water as well.” Runa said.
Runa looks to Vector, tilting her head at his trouble. “What’s wrong Vec, you have any allergies… Wait, can digimon even have those?”

Vector didn't know what to order as he looked over the menu-- finding it a bit daunting to him. But soon he settled. " Ooooh-- Birdramon BBQ wings, and Frigimon Slushie please!" the cyborg Digimon cheered a little too loudly, making a Pyomon nearby look a bit worried at the sound of the Birdramon Wings-- which was really only chicken wings. Still a bit scary for some As Jijimon gave a polite bow and took their menus, Shino relaxed and tried to enjoy the new place. There was much she had to learn and was surprised by the use of name references. " So its not uncommon to use 'user names' here, huh? Guess since your base is founded on the internet it makes sense," she said. All the while Vector leered at John. He didn't like the fact that Shino was so interested and talking to him... making the partner Digimon feel a bit jealous. He was opposed to this, but maybe he could do something about it. One could see the gears turning in his head, as he glared at John as Shino talked. " So..." Shino continued, " How did you find your partner? I only dabbled and met a few people with Digimon. Not all of them were the best, but I survive..." She offered. |

John nods at her comment about usernames. “I don’t mind people knowing my name here, but some people may not want someone to know their real names, so I make it a policy to refer to their username unless they say otherwise.” He said.
Runa kept a close eye on the Commandramon, she knew he was up to something and was not particularly fond of the way he was looking at her partner. John was none the wiser as he talked with Shino, and just continued to answer her questions. “Well, turns out she was in the dorm room I was assigned when I first moved to Shibuya, we first met at the school.”
As he was in the middle of his story, his legs suddenly felt stiff, he stands up to get them feeling better. “Sorry my legs are acting up for some reason, anyway we’ve been sort of like roommates for the past year or so ever since. How about you, how did you two meet?” He asked

"Well I am good with either now that I met you face to face. I wouldn't of come if I thought you weren't trustworthy enough for that," she said as she smiled, "Though me saying this as I am now is kind of contradictive. Honestly, I am not really aware why I look like this, but it is from my ingame avatars so why complain about it? " she explained.
She listened to what he had to say about Runa, and smiled. "Oh, so your an abroad student in Tokyo? That's cool and nice you found a cute Digimon there too must of been welcomed," she said with a smile.
The smile made Commandramon act as jealous made itself known as he used a little bit of invisibility to cloak himself-- except for the whoopie cushon he had and swiftly placed it under John as he stood up briefly. Anything to make him look foolish to possibly divert Shino away from the guy he considered 'shady'. He dropped the Whoopie cushion in place and swiftly stepped away as they continued to talk.
"Well... that is a long story. We are still trying to figure out the details but-- Vector here had attacked my computer system, trying to hack it with a mysterious code. When I counter-hacked him and tried to disable ... whatever it was, something odd happened. There was a power surge, another coding that stopped both, and before I knew it, Vector popped out of the computer along with this," she explained and showed John the Green D-Tector Digivice she had gotten. "I know for a fact its an unorthodox Digivice to have for a tamer, but its uses allow me to read data from afar. Anyway the whole experience caused Vector to lose his memory. Literally. He forgot everything about his time before he met me, along with some of his unusual personality quirk--"
PFFFFTTT! (Incert whoopie cushon sounds)

John rubs his chin for a moment, trying to think of some reason why Shino keeps taking this form, but can’t think of anything. “Well beats me, but at least you got an avatar that looks good.” he said.
When Runa was called cute, she smiled back. “Thanks, not used to people calling me that.” She said. “Maybe that has something to do with you hiding in my bag all the time?” John said, getting a chuckle form her “So? They should be able to sense the cuteness energy that I radiate.” John rolls his eyes. “Probably overshadowed by your rudeness energy, since you haven’t told them your name yet.” Runa face-palms with her paw. “Oh right, sorry I forgot, I’m Runa.” She says, extending her paw to Shino and Vector.
When Shino showed her Digivice, John looked at it with interest. “Ah nice a green one, mine is blue.” He says as he takes out his digivice. “I got it in my dorm, my uncle gave it to me actually, where he got it though he hasn’t told me, but I don’t mind. I drew a sheikah eye on the back one day, I figured it would help me not get it mixed up with someone els-” PFFFFFFFFFFFTTT.
John pauses as he hears the sound of a fart when he sat down, for a moment he thinks it could have been him, but then Runa taps him on the leg with her tail. She points down, telling him, “You may want to check your seat.” He stands up again and sees someone had put a whoopee cushion on his chair, picking it up, he starts to chuckle while sitting down. “Man I haven’t seen someone pull this since elementary school, wonder who put this here?” He wondered, “Oh I think I can make a guess.” Runa said, looking straight at Vector.

The mention that her avatar form looked good made her blush a bit as she rubbed the back of her neck. "Th-thank you," she commented, reminded how this could be seen as a date. Runa was finally open enough after a bit of snappish chatter with her tamer, but Shino was glad to see the adorable fluffball emerge and wave. She waved back, charmed by the fluffy fox-creature.
Shino was curious by how he got his Digivice. "Really? I didn't know they could just be given-- or even produced. Mine just shot out of the computer," she explained, now back to her more composed, intellectual mode of thought.
However, that soon went out the window by the very loud and lewd sound that came from John's direction.
Vector who had been semi-stealthed, snickered, trying to keep his voice under control but failed. ANd of course, the fox ratted him out. They soon all looked at him and he blinked, his eyes visible to them.
"What? Don't look at me!" he ribbed.
Shino felt embarrassed and turned red again. "I'm so sorry for his behavior..." she said, then turned to Vector with a scowl on her face. "Do you have ANY self-control?"
"I do have an auto-pilot function, shino chi and a vibration function..."
Before Shino could scold or do anything rash-- the voice of the elder Jijimon came as he brought over some of the food. "Is there a problem here, youngsters?" he asked, his tone a bit hard as the elder mega digimon clearly sensed a troublemaker among his customers.

At the question of food, Vector was too quick to bark out. "Waiter-- a tall, stiff one on the rocks!" he shouted impolitely for a restaurant.
