Well, Rockpaw was excited. Taking the key, he put it in the lock of his new place, turned the key, and opened the door. Walking in, he placed his one suitcase down and looked around. The warm wood floor seemed inviting. A couch was on one wall, facing a TV, while the other side was a small kitchen. Across from the main door was another door leading to a bedroom.
Rockpaw walked over to the other door and opened it to a small bedroom with a nice looking bed, a lamp, and a bed stand. Rockpaw placed his suitcase on his bed and moved his little black and green paws to open the suitcase. Looking inside, he looked at his small amount of possessions. In the suitcase was a photography book, a small knife, a little paper journal, a red scarf, another book, a small clock, and of course, his Kodak Signet 80 camera. Takeing out his journal, Rockpaw sat on the edge of the bed with his big ears hanging over the bed. He then grabbed a pencil and started writing:
Well, I have finally moved into my new place. Rosewood City seems like a great city, and I can't wait to meet all these Digimon. I think I will do well here!
Putting his journal on the bed side stand, he grabbed his camera. It had a snap strap, as a normal strap would be hard to get over his large Terriermon ears. Loaded with film, the blue and white Terriermon headed out his front door to go and explore

Rosewood. A town founded and by rookies and as such still mostly inhabited by them. Ever since he left the Village of Beginnings roughly two years ago, Alucard had curiously never came to this city. He wasn't wandering around the Digital World for fun. He was wandering around while training himself to be strong enough to get revenge on a NeoMyotismon that murdered two of his friends before his eyes. Sure one could say if he wasn't careful he could be consumed by his desire for revenge and even risk becoming as bad if not worse than the monster he sought to eliminate. Sure the Human World was interesting but aside from his few adventures there he stuck mostly to the Digital World.
Walking through the streets the white Lopmon named Alucard would be quite a sight to see considering most Lopmon were brown in color. Suffice to say the little guy would stick out like a sore thumb not that such a thing bothered him in the slightest.

Making sure his door was locked, Rockpaw walked down the little path to the main one. Rosewood was a great place to be, as it was made for rookies by rookies. As it was made to one with the forest it was in, there were lots of trees, which Rockpaw liked. Looking up, he saw the Digi sun shining nicely through some leaves nicely. Lifting up the old Kodak Signet 80, he focused, set the f-stop, and after framing it just right, hit the shutter. With a satisfying click, the shutter fired. Rockpaw then wound the film on with the two-stroke lever, and headed again down the path.
There were so many rookie Digimon in the center of town, it kind of overwhelmed. There were all different sorts. However, as he was looking around, one rookie suddenly stood out. "It's another Terriemon!" he thought, excited. However, looking closer, he notices there were no markings. Then he noticed there was three horns. "A Lopmon, a white Lopmon? I need to check this out!" he thought, and started to walk over to said Lopmon

Though Alucard's white fur stood out, most of the digimon of Rosewood seemed to pay him no mind. That was fine by him anyway. As he walked he listened to the various footsteps of the many kinds of digimon walking the streets. With ears like his it was likely he was hearing more than just their footsteps but their conversations were easy to tune out since they weren't his business.
It seemed as he made his way through larger groups though, his white fur was causing the occasional digimon to do a double take. Apparently they hadn't seen a Lopmon such as himself which was not surprising. Then again he was odd by white Lopmon standards considering he was a holy beast. Lopmon of any kind weren't usually holy in nature. Maybe this had something to do with his previous life as a Cherubimon but since he didn't remember his previous life it was hard to know for sure. Sudden movement caught his attention as it seemed a Terriermon with blue instead of green markings was heading right for him. It was probably curiosity that was driving that Terriermon so he saw no reason to armor digivolve and fly away.

Rockpaw noticed that the white Lopmon had seen him. Slowing his step a little as he crossed the street (though Rosewood City was made to blend with the forest, is still had a modern city vibe and architecture), he raised his hand and waved.
"Hello!" said the Terriermon as he continued to walk toward the Lopmon. "Are you really a Lopmon? I've never seen a white Lopmon before. That's so cool"!

Even though the Terriermon seemed to be excited by Alucard's appearance, the White Lopmon wasn't all that surprised that the uniquely colored Terriermon hadn't seen a white Lopmon. At least the Terriermon didn't randomly hug him which was good because Alucard preferred his personal space. Looking the Terriermon in the eye, Alucard sighed before he said "Yes I am a Lopmon. I guess you've never heard that Lopmon are rarely white in color." His voice was cold but not unfriendly. "Judging by your appearance, I'm not the only unique one around here. I've never seen Terriermon with blue markings instead of green ones before."
This Terriermon despite his excitement seemed polite on the surface but he could easily handle things without fighting if things got out of hand. "So are you a wandering digimon like myself or do you live here in Rosewood?" Alucard asked seeing as he was genuinely curious.

"Oh, I just moved in a little place over there." said Rockpaw, pointing with his left paw over his back. Adjusting the old Kodak, Rockpaw turned back to the white Lopmon. "The names Rockpaw, and I was just going out to explore the city. What's your name?

Alucard's blue eyes followed the direction the digimon now known as Rockpaw pointed. It seemed to be a small place but it made sense for a small digimon like a Terriermon. He figured he should at least be polite enough to introduce himself so he said "My name is Alucard. I wonder the Digital World trying to get strong enough to avenge the murder of two friends of mine. Other than that I fight evil digimon but my specialty is vampires." Yup he just let it out that he was not only one a journey of vengence but a vampire hunter as well. Even though he didn't specifically use the words vampire hunter, he had to wait and see how Rockpaw would interpret his words.
His gaze focused on Rockpaw's camera and what one could interpret as what was left of his youthful curiosity brought him to say "I see you have a camera. Are you a photographer?" Just because his voice usually had a cold tone to it didn't mean his curiosity couldn't be heard in the tone itself.

"Oh, yes." replied Rockpaw. "It started when I happened on a photography book as a Gummymon, before I first digivolved into a Terriermon for the first time. The photos by all the human photographers were amazing, and they inspired me to take up photography myself, with this old Kodak."
Holding the camera, Rockpaw then smiled at the Alucard "One of my dreams is to go around and photograph the great moments of the Digiworld. And some in the human world, it I can." Putting the camera back down, he then said "So, you said you are out for revenge. What brings you to Rosewood city, then?

It was interesting what brought others inspiration. Maybe if NeoMyotismon hadn't come into his life he wouldn't be on his potentially self destructive journey. The mention that humans inspired Rockpaw made Alucard smile briefly before he said "Humans are quite the curious beings aren't they? In some ways they are like us and just like us capable of both good and evil. Yet our two worlds somehow coexist together despite both positively and negatively influencing each other. At least things balance out still."
When Rockpaw mentioned his dreams it made Alucard wonder what he would do when and if he did get his revenge. Clearing his mind of the subject for the moment he said "Both the Digital and Human World are bound to have sights worth capturing with your camera. I've been to the Human World a couple times myself. As for why I am in Rosewood it was no particular reason, I was just passing through. I do find this town interesting though."

"Well, I'm not busy right now, as I was just exploring the city. Hey, sense your passing through, why not we explore together?" asked the Terriermon. He was new, of course, and he thought it would be nice to make a new friend, or at least an acquaintance. Noticing the white Lopmon's face, he saw that there was a little hesitance on his face. "Come on, it will be fun. Being a wanderer, it must get lonely some times."

Though his journey to get revenge was a lonely one that had Alucard adopt a 'lone wolf' mentality but deep down he wanted companionship. He knew though that getting close to others would endanger them until NeoMyotismon was no more. Though when Rockpaw asked if he would like to explore the town with him Alucard was able to put aside his loner nature, maybe it was the Terriermon's infectious optimism, as he said "I don't see why not. I might come around here again in the future so it might be smart to know where some things are."
Yes the life of a loner was as Rockpaw said but it tended to keep those he potentially became friends with safe. "You seemed to have hit the nail on the head, Rockpaw. I've been roaming around mostly on my own for months now." Alucard said. What was it about the optimistic types that had him letting words out of his mouth like a flowing river. Maybe at some level they reminded him of how he was before his friends were murdered.

"Well, then let's go!" Rockpaw exclaimed. Pointing down the road, "How about we go that way? Off to adventure!
The two dog/rabbit Digimon started walking through the downtown of Rosewood. It was quite the area. So many Digimon, and so many buildings.
"Well, anything you see strike your fancy?" he asked the Lopmon

Rockpaw seemed quite excited as he pointed down the road which made a faint smirk appear briefly on Alucard's face. This was not uncommon for rookies to exhibit this behavior but then again Alucard was not like most rookies given the tragedy of Sangloupmon's and Dracmon's deaths still haunted him as much as his desire for revenge against the monstrous NeoMyotismon that murdered them for seemingly no reason. Alucard shook his head to clear his thoughts as such things were not important for the time being.
Walking down the the streets with Rockpaw, Alucard noticed the various shops and the occasional restaurant that littered the street. Various types of digimon were going in and out of those businesses some of them carrying bags filled with various purchases. Gazing at the shops, Alucard finally saw a shop that was interesting to him. Just up the road a bit was a small ice cream shop. 'I guess I'm more like the average rookie than I thought.' he thought before he pointed towards the shop before he said "That ice cream shop sounds good. What do you think, Rockpaw?"

Rockpaw looked over at the ice creme parlor that Alucard was pointing at. It was a small little place amung all the tall trees and buildings. It looked quite inviting. "You know what, I actually never had ice cream. So might as well try it now!"
The two Rookies walked into the ice creme parlor. It had a white and black tile floor, with many little booths along the walls. Across from the door was a counter and area of ice creme. The two rookies got in a line. The only Digimon in front of them was a Dorumon who was just finishing ordering. After they were done, Alucard and Rockpaw. The Digimon behing the counter, a SnowAgumon, said "Hello! What can I get for you today?"
"Well," said Rockpaw, looking at all the ice creme flavors, "I have never ice creme. What do you suggest?"
"Can't go wrong with vanilla. Great flavor, and it won't overwhelm a newcomer." replied the SnowAgumon.
"OK, I'll take that. What are you going to get Alucard?"
