"Well, not a bad guess. That is the largest family in the Digital World, by far."
He shared a chuckle at that, moving to start running the sink as all of the mugs and the thermos were brought over. It seemed like the two had reached an agreement: if Holly wanted to use this new form as her base, then fine, but only if the form was absolutely safe to use! It was the weekend, and a good time to test it.
"Oh? Oh, yeah, I went ahead and submitted the paperwork for the report. Both for the forest, and for the Sloth incident - but I want you to take it easy for a bit, alright?" The cat tilted his head. "Gaius has remarked on this before, but you're a very emotional fighter. Its okay to get invested in the situation, but you get so worked up in it, that your style becomes selfish and violent. You got to remember that you're worth more than just one fight or moment, Holly."
As for the test? "Its simpler than you think. The body goes through strain as it changes shape - its just a matter of defining a metric to measure that. I'll show you more about the process once we go through it the first time. In two hours."
The cat huffed at that, looking back into the living room. "Because she's going to wake up any minute, and the kitchen is going to smell a lot more like bacon once she does..."

”Ma was a part of that right? Silence too?”
Holly tilted her head to one side as mikemon started to wash the thermos’ and mugs. Testing out this form would take most of the weekend sure but she was okay with that! She was happy to test it out! It’d make it easier for her to concentrate and it’d likely make it so she wasn’t so heavily reliant on her clones.
”Okay good. I ah… Yeah I lost my temper when the seraphimon compared himself to ma. I just… It took me some time to calm down but that definitely wasn’t worth losing so much ground. He played me like a fool.”
Holly rubbed at her neck and shook her head; she knew that Gaius had the right of it and everyone who had trained or sparred with her knew the same thing. Hearing that this test was simpler than she made it out to be well.. She was interested in seeing what all could be seen from these tests!
”Is… the kitchen smelling like bacon a bad thing?”
”Only if you don’t like pork~ There you are my little cuddlebug!”
The shutmon snickered as she stepped into the room, mikemon had been wrong on how soon it’d be. It seemed like the shutmon had already been awake for a few moments as she came over to pick him up in a big pleased hug!
”Have to say, I like the new form a lot. But hearing this talk? Kitten’s got the right of it.”
Silence gave mikemon a little rub on the head before setting him back down. She seemed in a really good mood for one reason or another. Moving to the cupboards to look around for a few pans…
”Thinking something nice and slow for dinner so gonna get that started… Lunch is already in the fridge. Made something you all will enjoy last night~”
Holly looked a bit surprised to see silence so peppy and cheerful; but then again she hadn't interacted with the wolf all too recently. The both of them had been very busy after all! She'd rub at the back of her neck while the wolf got the stove ready and raring. Though she seemed to settle on the skittles for some reason...

"Mm... both Silence and K have a few forms in Nature Spirits. But its not like family's a thing I check for all that often. Your mom might have largely been a Holy Beast, now that I think about it."
Mikemon didn't put too much thought into it, though. The mission reports were in, and at the very least, Holly understood that she had a lot to learn when it came to those high-stakes fights. So long as Holly understood, and tried to improve herself in it, good ol' dad wasn't going to complain.
Especially not when that lovely wolf came in! "Heh, finally up?" He chuckled, plucked right on up, hugging right around the Shutmon's shoulders. "Sorry, had to get up a little bit before you this morning. But, plus side, Holly's up, too." Enjoying the moment, he nuzzled up to her until he was set down, the cat stretching out his back.
"I'll be up in the office for a bit. Oh, Holly? Hydrate, and eat. You've been asleep for five days - its not good to keep cutting on your energy reserves to keep yourself going." Even if that's exactly what K did during her meditative period - it didn't mean it was something that should be done, even in the short term! It wouldn't take long for two hours to come and go, and for Holly to be called up to Mikemon's office.
Nor would there seem to be much trouble with Holly slipping back down to her champion level. The orange-furred MeiCrackmon would get a scan from Mikemon's eyes, the feline giving a scratch at a notebook, noting a few sketches as well as a few numbers on his notebook.
"Unfortunately, one test like this is not going to be enough, but I will say the process looks pretty normal in my eyes." Said eyes would be briefly shut, Mikemon rubbing them briefly with the back of his gloves. "To think that's what Coal sees all the time... um, anyway, does this form feel different to you at all? I mean, from how it normally does."

”I suppose that makes sense. Maybe it has something to do with my forms too hmm…”
Holly rubbed at her chin and considered this information. How everything seemed to line up and how everything seemed to work. This form was easy for her to be in and she maybe would have to consider the routes her mother took over her own. Holly turned her head and smiled warmly at silence as she came in.
”Hey silence.”
”Hello hello! And yeah, been up for a few minutes. Enough to hear the two of you chat for a bit. It’s all right; I’m used to you sneaking away in the middle of the night for a sudden call or the like.”
She’d let out a laugh and gently tap the mikemon’s nose before setting about working on what would be dinner. It’d take her a good while to get everything going without help. She wasn’t as well equipped for cooking like this in comparison to k. Many more mistakes and often more than not she’d drop something after finishing it!
”Don’t worry, I’ll make something to eat and probably have some of what silence is making here.”
Holly smiled and turned to go check out the fridge… she’d have to make up for all the missed meals by having some incredibly nutritious ones herself!
The meiphemon opened the door pretty quickly and sat down; slipping back down to the Meicrackmon without much issue. She’d lean back in her chair, watching him scan her over. One test wouldn’t be a solve all end all. But she was willing to go through many more tests!
”It feels pretty normal but… there’s like this weird… edginess in my head? Like another voice trying to talk. I think it might be lily? Maybe that’s where she goes when I’m not in that form.”
The meicrackmon pursed her lips and considered this flicking her ears as mikemon mentioned her sister. Taking a moment she’d gently pat a fist into her open hand; grinning ear to ear.
”Coal could practice with this too! Using that eye of hers in controlled manners! I don’t mind it too much you know?”

"Hm... not unheard of. Actually, I'm sort of glad to know that Lily just doesn't 'vanish' when you leave that form."
That aside, it was sort of difficult to classify what Lily was. An aspect of Holly's personality? A part of her? A byproduct of Sloth's data? As his eyes normalized, Mikemon found himself giving a grin at Holly's suggestion! "If that's what she wants to do, I'll be more than happy to let you be a 'test subject' for Coal to scan! Though, just don't try and rush her with it, alright?" The cat sighed. "For one, there's more than one way to use these eyes. I use it for medical purposes, but maybe she'll use it to 'read people' or even to try and 'look through walls'. Aside from the eyes, she's also a darkness user, so maybe even just seeing through the dark would be enough for her."
"And two, well, there's still other things to figure out. Coal needs to take some eye tests to see if the strain is affecting her vision - and its highly likely that she's colorblind, in some way. Ugh..." He sighed, rolling it into a chuckle. "So much time on that, and I still need to remember Amber, too. Never thought I'd have an artsy type in the house... heh."
Well, speaking of family! "Ah, right! You should be getting into stitches and 'practical practice' now - how are those classes going? Able to make good use of your hands?"

”I think she’s probably really bored, what with not being able to do much in there. Might be why she seems a bit edgy?”
Holly mulled this over and figured she’d have to apologize to lily later; unlike jade she was a byproduct of that form and wasn’t present in others. So it made sense that she wouldn’t be around in oh lets say her meicrackmon form? She’d smile a bit and leaned to one side.
”Well where is lil sis anyways? Read people huh? Look through walls? She could get trouble with that if she’s not careful!”
Holly nodded her head a few times as mikemon continued to explain; using it to see through the darkness. See if it was straining her vision and… well she was likely colorblind in a way with that. She didn’t like the sound of that before hearing her father chuckle.
”Both of them really need a lot of that type of attention huh? It’s not bad that they’re artsy. Gives silence someone to chat about drawing switch after all!”
Holly had seen the sketches that silence drew from time to time, usually after a very intense dream session or one where she was clinging tightly to her father. It was kind of amusing in some cases but others it was really hard to know. An earflick and the meicrackmon shook her head a few times.
”Well.. I’m about a week behind in classes now because of all that sleeping. So uhm… Progress hasn’t really changed unfortunately.”
Holly sighed a little bit and nervously fidgeted. She was unsure if her hands would be good for that sort of stuff too.
”I’m sort of worried that the meicrackmon hands will be too large for normal stitching and the more practical tools are too small for my hands I think.”
She’d purse her lips and look down at her hands; somewhat cursing the fact they were so big. She wished she had some form of telekinesis sometimes. But honestly she hadn’t really run into a problem till now!
”Maybe meiphemon might be a good fit for those classes…”

"Oh, I've had that kind of trouble happen to me from time to time. The things you can accidentally see with these eyes... sheesh. Oh, um, Syre's watching Coal and Amber right now."
They needed that help - since Mikemon and Silence had to keep track of Holly over the past few days, after all! At Holly's next comment, the doctor gave a bit of a chuckle. "Oh, I don't mind it. Silence loves having someone around whose actually able to give good comments bout her drawings! But its more that, I don't know anything about art, and sometimes I feel like she might have gotten jealous that I was giving Coal so much attention. Seems unfounded, though. Amber's taken the big sister role up quite easily."
"... Despite practically being twins..." He sighed, shaking his head, ear flicking as he heard that Holly was behind on her classes.
"You'll have time to catch up. Gaius shouldn't be giving out many mission waivers at all right now - that usually dries up for students any time that damned wizard pops up - so you'll be able to rest up and study just fine. And as for your hands..."
Hm. Maybe Meiphemon was better for that. Mikemon held up a palm, dark tendrils of shadow dancing above them until they became like thin 'needles of thread'.
"Maybe. I guess you can't exactly do this, right?"

”I used to envy your eyes and crystal but now I realize I don’t know what I’d do with them either. I hope she… well. I hope coal figures out what she wants with such an ability. If she can get past her nervousness at least.”
Holly sighed and gave a small smile to the mikemon; she was grateful that they had kept such a watchful eye on her. The meicrackmon leaned back in her seat and grinned ear to ear hearing that silence and amber were getting along with the arts! Hearing that bit with coal made holly consider something for a moment.
”I mean I was kind of jealous of syre when I was younger for all the stuff she got to do that I couldn’t but I grew out of that real fast. I’m glad that amber and coal have such a relationship so early! Makes me wish I was around them more though. And practically twins? Are their cores not linked?”
Holly looked a bit surprised and flicked her ears at hearing that Gaius shouldn’t be giving out many mission waivers. She’d mumble a bit and swipe at her tablet… Only to find that mikemon was correct. Right now there weren’t very many waivers save for… Three. Two A class missions and an S class mission that was only for the top ten in his class if they wanted it.
”To think that one has been up since the start of the class mm… Ah. Yes I should be able to catch up; especially with jade and the othe- No. Nonono… Said I wouldn’t do that nn.”
She’d shake her head and pat her cheeks after a moment before blinking at seeing the mikemon make those needle thin tendrils. She’d begin to shake her head, only for mikemon’s needle thin shadows being joined by a somewhat smaller, less ‘obvious’ shadow. Coal had peeked in and gave a small nervous smile to the two.
”Ma… wanted to know if either of you want anything specific for desert… she’s… looking to do some baking.”
Holly blinked a bit and considered for a moment what they had in the house before giving both her answers at once.
”Cookies or muffins maybe! Ah… No I can’t do anything that precise in this form but… I wonder what all I could do in meiphemons?”

"Seriously? You researched the heck out of my crystal to make Jade!"
Yeah, Mikemon wasn't going to let that one slip by! He gave a small laugh, shaking his head as that thought passed. As for Holly's relation with Syre, well: "Honestly, Syre's quite the older sister to you. Might have been a bit shaky at first, but you two get along with each-other quite well! And that's exactly it, Amber and Coal have entirely separate cores."
"Its 'rare', but it also means their cores aren't reliant on each-other. They'll be less likely to have fusions, but they'll also be stronger independently."
So, 'technically' they weren't Twins, but they were certainly still twins! Mikemon's ear gave a flick as Coal slipped into the room, the doctor looking over her shoulder to see the black Renamon-X ask about desert. Holly was quick to answer, and Mikemon mulled it over. "I'd say cookies myself. We should still have oatmeal left over, right?" He'd close his paw around that dark energy, and shrug at Holly's question.
"Well, you'll want to learn how to do it with your own hands first, so you're able to picture how to shape the energy. As Coal will tell you, even with the ability to see it, precise control is a bit hard to do." He chuckled. "Like Coal here accidentally blacking out her room at 6 in the morning!"

”I did but I don’t know if I should have done that. Or if I should have made Jade? I often feel like she curses the lack of hands or telekinetic powers.”
Holly sighed and shook her head; it was frustrating to holly that her friend and basically sister was in such a position but there wasn’t much for her to do there. She’d flick an ear and gaze at her father… Syre was indeed the older sister to her? Well. She supposed that made sense but… Maybe now that their schedules were not as shaky they should do more?
”Hmm. I’d like to research the two of them and compare their core structures. For ‘basically’ twins their power subsets are polar opposites.”
Holly mulled this over, if their structures were different enough she could indeed study the relation between the two. She’d flick her ears a few times as Coal seemed to smile a little bit at hearing mikemon’s choice.
”Cookies then~”
Holly looked to coal who flushed brightly at the mention of her mess at six in the morning. She’d glance to one side and nervously fidget before removing that darkness she pulled alongside the other two. Holly on the other hand mulled it over and looked down to her own hands. She was able to do something like shadow stitching but far less precise…. So if she practiced she’d get it. She’d nod her head a bit and stretch before coal piped up.
”To… use the energy, or at least ah… do stuff with it I just… kinda imagine chess pieces on a board and move them around… the… different darkness bits move differently. Different shapes and… stuff make different weapons and… well… ah…”
She’d nervously fidget and let out a little huff; her hands coming up and well… the shadows nearest her would rear up forming a rather sharp looking piece that the renamon-x tapped her finger against. It wasn’t razor sharp but she wasn’t going to go that far in their own house!
”I’m… still practicing and some shapes are harder than others but… I took notes? I… C-could give them to the both of you if you want…?”
Holly looked rather surprised at the fact her sister of all things was giving her advice, someone who hadn’t hatched all too long ago. But giving a big friendly smile the champion meicrackmon gave her timid sist a big ol hug! The renamon-x stiffened for a moment but ultimately accepted the affection with a flustered mumble.
”I’d really appreciate it Coal! Anything helps!”

"Honestly, the fact that you were able to make something that could feel anything close to that is astonishing in and of itself..."
Seriously - in some respects, with her own two hands, Holly figured out the basics of making golem-style Digimon, and used that to make her own assistant. Mikemon understood the theory behind it, but to execute on it and pull it off? There was a scary amount of potential sitting in Holly's head.
Even if that curiosity got her in trouble! "Well, put yourself in their shoes, Holly. Do they want to be analyzed?" The feline tilted his head. "Coal got my eyes and my underlying type, and Amber inherited some of Silence's holy energy to be able to use her light. I don't think it has to be anything more complicated than that."
And besides, Amber in particular would be too fussy to sit in a chair for that long!
As Coal came in, and as the three of them now had cookies to look forward to, Mikemon wondered if he stepped a little too far in 'making fun of' Coal's black-out incident in the morning. Despite it, the Black Renamon-X showed a fair bit of confidence in what she said next, even going as far as to make those solid shadow figures in her hands. And honestly, Mikemon was impressed!
"Non-straight shapes are hard to do with shadows. Light travels in a straight line, and shadows follow that exact shape. To have any sort of precision in curves or tendrils takes a great deal of focus, but a blade is just two straight lines."
He'd smile - and get an idea. "... Hm. How about, before I step in and help, you two try to figure it out between yourselves?"

”Really think so?”
Holly blinked a few times and found herself getting a small smile after thinking about it. She should at least take pride in the fact she was able to make such a step! She’d furrow her brows a bit; her da had a good point there. And judging by the look that she was getting from coal the black renamon didn’t really seem too for it.
”Yeah maybe not. I wouldn’t mind if they had the same want for me but then again I don’t think I’m what you’d call normal.”
Holly let out a little laugh and leaned back slightly; coal managed a small smile and turned her head to her father as he explained that non-straight shapes were hard to do with shadows. That made sense given that they were always chasing after the light in one way or another.
Holly beamed as coal got a bit more flustered and the both of them would turn to mikemon as he suggested that they should try to figure it out between the two of them! Holly blinked and coal perked up a bit. She’d shyly nod her head and figured that at the very least she could at least help her bigger sister with this!
”I don’t see why not! Can’t always rely on you for everything right da?”
”Is there a place where we can practice this? Wide… open space of some kind?”
Coal seemed a little uncertain for a moment; rubbing at her neck awkwardly. She had a few ideas; maybe a larger room or perhaps even some place outside? Even if she had a bit of confidence suggesting or doing something it'd teeter out after a bit...
