It had been some time since Faustein's latest adventures, the first of which involved joining a " Hookmon" and his mercenary digimon crew on their treasure hunt only to trick, intimidate, or outright betray every last one of them and then walking off with the much coveted and valuable treasures from the tomb of " Pharaohmon" in hand and the second of which had involved meeting up with another rather amusing young woman in his acquaintance circle called " Ravenna" and assisting her in refurbishment of Terminus via tree planting under the auspices of a " DesertGabumon" named " Officer Mamluks". Since then till the present day, Faustein had once again gotten back to the grind of his daily life of being a highly respected professional physician-scientist and also to his mad science research. It was during one of these professional workdays when Faustein had been roped into making a bet with some colleagues about the upcoming V-day. Said bet was a rather poor choice for Faustein had underestimated the power of his ill fortune and had not anticipated the possibility of the Norns abandoning him on that day. Consequently, he had lost and was saddled with a penalty game, namely he would have to work up the nerve to take some young woman out to dinner as part of a blind dating event that was to be held on the upcoming V-day. Well now, this was certainly not something that was anticipated...O ye Norns, thou art truly a most fickle triumvirate of divinities...Faustein mused in his usual theatrically dramatic fashion as he readied himself as per the standard dress code for such events, not that he wanted to be dressed in such a gaudy manner, of course. Said dress code was naturally an expensive dark colored suit ensemble with a formal shirt and tie, the latter of which was semi-loosely tied around a somewhat unbuttoned collar of the formal shirt with his newest wardrobe addition, aka a pair of black fingerless gloves, one on each hand. After that, he put on his patent leather black formal shoes and lastly, he strapped on all his usual wearable electronics and after ensuring that his digivice and the rest of his gadgets and devices like the Grappling Gun, the EV Suit, and the Anti-Grav Device among other things were also affixed to his person at strategically chosen spots, he called his chauffer to get his vintage 1930s Rolls Royce Phantom III limo out of his garage and to have it idling by the time he came out. His chauffer did as instructed and soon, Faustein was on the road, driving his precious and rather expensive antique of a car and headed towards the blind dating spot. Once there, he nodded to the fancily dressed ushers standing outside the fancy looking establishment which was decked out in full Valentine's Day regalia as an homage to the pairings that would be happening therein. Said ushers nodded back in return with a bow as was the usual greeting for VIPs "Welcome, Mr. Kuroyakushi. It is a pleasant surprise to see you here as we did not expect you at all. Nevertheless, we wish you luck with your endeavors this evening and a wonderful V-day."Faustein chuckled briefly and then responded while surveying the establishment which was one among the many that was held by his conglomerate "Thank you, I do hope business is booming for you and your employers. I will be sure to leave you a generous tip as always, my friends."Naturally, upon hearing the promise of financial reward for their hard work, the ushers looked elated as would any such employee of such an establishment. Upon seeing that, Faustein headed inside with his usual smug, self-confident, and perhaps even arrogant smirk playing upon his thin, firm, and cyanotic lips as per usual. Once inside, he let the employees of the establishment get him seated and ready for the pairings to come soon. Little did he know though that his particular partner would be none other than a young woman in his own acquaintance circle named " Stacy".

Stacy was just wrapping up getting ready to head out. She had heard of the blind dating event and decided, at her age, to give it a try. Hard to believe she was turning thirty nine soon after Valentines Day. She had spent the last few days deciding what she would wear to this encounter and decided that this time she wasn't going to wear a dress. Even though she wasn't going to wear a dress to this 'date' she would still dress nicely. Pulling on a simple but nice pair of black slacks and a new light blue dress shirt before looking once more in the mirror and decided she looked just fine. If her date didn't like a tomboy it was his problem anyway. She then grabbed her wallet and D-Tector, the D-Tector had oddly become more of a habit then bringing her wallet even if going to the Digital World or not, before heading to where her leather jacket was hanging near where she kept her shoes. Slipping the jacket on she stuffed her wallet and D-Tector in her left pocket before grabbing a nice pair of dress shoes sitting next to her sneakers and slipped them on.
Working her way to an alleyway she brought out her D-Tector as fractal coding appeared around her right hand before she ran her hand over the top as she said "Execute! Sprite spirit evolution!" She then become engulfed in a comforting holy light as the transformation began in the shelter of the alley. As the light dissipated a wolf howl sounded before she said "Hinookamimon!" Yes inside her D-Tector was a motorcycle but since she had no drivers license she was in no mood to be pulled over. Besides her rookie form was efficient enough to get where she was going and since she was a digimon with no noticeable markings, she was often mistooken for a stray dog and she was fine with that.
Taking off running she seemed to reach her destination in no time and, considering she wasn't even going near her top speed, it was an impressive sight. Seeing the restaurant she was looking for she darted into a nearby alley and returned to her human form once again before placing her D-Tector in her jacket before taking her wallet out. Setting her wallet in her right pocket, zipped up her left one before heading for the entrance. Mentioning to the person in charge of seating that she was there for the event she was soon taken to a table and, upon seeing a certain dark haired man but the way he carried himself gave away who he was, said "I'll be damned. If it isn't Faust. Been awhile since I've seen you but seeing as you are still alive it seems you haven't been getting in more trouble then usual, huh?" Stacy sat across the table her mostly healed bruised ribs reminding her of their existence causing her to flinch in pain with a look of irritation directed at her ribs before looking back at Faust.

Faustein had been waiting patiently for the establishment's employees to bring out his blind date for the evening's festivities and occasionally checking his D-Terminal which he made to look like a standard PDA for disguise purposes. However, they were taking their sweet time, so he was just about to arise and have a talk with the manager of the establishment when they finally brought his partner out, and to his surprise, it was none other than "Stacy". Of course, he did not let his surprise show on his face, but still, the sight of her after such a long while brought his usual smug smirk onto his thin, firm cyanotic lips and this only grew wider as he heard her opening greeting and gave his reply
"Oh, I would not say that, actually. In fact, I have acquired a je ne sais quoi recently in the course of getting into some major trouble and freeing some poor "you know what" prisoners in the "you know what" parallel dimension. I should quite like to hear your opinion of this new acquisition whenever the chance to show you should present itself."
He paused there to give her a once over, examining her silently and intently with his keen and piercing dark, amber yellow, analytical gaze for a brief few moments before resuming
"Enough about me, though, I could say the same about you as I presume you must have entered into quite the fight recently. That aside though, it is quite a pleasant surprise to see that you've finally entered the dating game, albeit with a rather late start. Still, I must say, my evening is already a fair deal better now that you're here as my partner for this event."
With that, he fell silent with that smug, self-confident smirk still playing upon his lips as he sat across from "Stacy", waiting for her reaction and response.

As usual Faust was one who would likely make a decent poker player seeing as he already had the 'poker face' down to a tee. The mention of a new acquisition caught her attention and even perked her curiosity to boot. One may say curiosity killed the cat but it hadn't so far in almost forty years though if here she doubted the item itself would be stomping downtown. "Sounds like you've had quite the adventure in "you know where." To be honest this item has me curious as long as a you "you know what" doesn't come stomping through Shibuya to recover it." Stacy replied. Sure saying "you know where" and "you know what" sounded silly on the surface but since most humans were ignorant of the Digital World it was best to keep mentions of that world and it's residents to such phrases in case they were overheard so they'd sound, at worst, weird.
She should of figured he'd notice her discomfort but, with a smile, she said "Oh the bruised ribs are almost healed but you should of seen the mess I was a week ago after winning a title match in boxing against a certain roach. Amazing feat since I only had about a couple hours training. I used to be a walking bruise a little over a week ago. As for the dating game, this isn't exactly my first time in such a situation. I just never had any luck finding a man that didn't drive me crazy. The stupid ones were the worst though. Though I must say I find it odd a guy like you would date in such a manner since you seem to come off as married to science itself."

Faustein let out a brief rumbling chuckle as he heard "Stacy" recount her foray into tournament fighting and nodded before remarking, addressing hers from beginning to end
"Indeed, that said, we can be fairly certain the populace of "you know whos" we have in this city as well as the "you know what" organization will do their utmost to prevent such a travesty from occurring."
His smug, amused, and self confident smirk grew even wider if that were possible as he formulated his next response mentally before resuming
"Oh my, only a couple of hours of training? You must be a prodigy then when it comes to tournament fighting because, considering the nature and identity of your opponent, most other people would have required a much longer training montage."
After that, he moved on to her remarks about finding him at this blind dating establishment odd and chuckled again before remarking
"Ah, that is quite enlightening, indeed. As for me, you are right, of course. My one true and only love now and forever will ALWAYS be science and everything it encompasses...that said, a bet is a bet, and while I may be a somewhat eccentric science-type, I do still abide by my man's pride...which is the reason I am here before you tonight. With that in mind and without further ado, shall we begin the festivities?"
Then, he fell silent and arose from his seat and moved over till he was standing before her. After that, he showed his palms and the backs of his hands while narrating
"Nothing up my sleeves..."
He then performed a few hand signs like some anime style ninja would after which he clapped his hands, causing a brief and small puff of thick, opaque smoke to emerge from his hands and linger for a few moments before dispersing to reveal a bouquet of a 100 freshly picked red roses neatly contained in expensive wrapping paper and tied off at the end with a red ribbon which fell into his awaiting hands. Finally, while maintaining eye contact with her, he knelt down before her on one knee while extending the bouquet to her and remarking
"...and presto!! For you, a token of my gratitude and adoration for all the invaluable assistance you have provided me in our adventures thus far."
Once that was done, he fell silent once more and awaited her reaction with that same smug, amused, and self confident smirk still playing upon his lips as he studied her, as the surrounding couples cheered and laughed in amusement at his theatrical antics though the expression in his eyes did clearly reflect his genuinely heartfelt gratitude to her for all the help she had given him over the course of their adventures for her to behold at her leisure.

The you know who's in question that would likely appreciate a digimon rampage the least were DATS and, even though she had only one major encounter with them, it was the bad apples in that bunch she was really worried about.
When he said he must of been a prodigy she couldn't help but chuckle before she said "I'm far from what one would consider a prodigy at the sport considering the mess I was when the match was over. I relied mostly on instinct and agility before later in the fight learning of his biggest weakness other than his ego and I was glad he had a glass jaw. However, let's just say this bug didn't exactly like getting beaten by a powder blue cat. The only reason I wasn't in my primary form of a holy wolf was because my claws were too long to fit in the boxing gloves and those gold beauties aren't exactly retractable."
"That must of been some bet if a crafty devil like yourself lost it. The consequences could have been worse than a blind date or, even worse, you could have gotten stuck in a date with someone who is the epitome of irritating." she said thinking of how bad things might of gone if he lost a bet with someone far meaner spirited.
Stact watched as Faust moved his hand around after saying 'Nothing up my sleeves'. Shortly after a brief puff of smoke appeared, a large bouquet of roses became visible before falling into his hands. When he knelt down and offered the bouquet, she gently took the offered flowers before she said "I never knew you had a hidden talent for magic and it was pretty impressive seeing as not many magicians I've seen could handle making so many flowers appear at once. As for our adventures, with luck we will enjoy many more adventures."

After returning to his seat and sitting down again, Faustein smirked as he heard Stacy's remarks about her being lucky to have gotten a manageable opponent for her tournament fight and responded
"Ah, I see now. Well then, that certainly was fortunate for you then. Were you trained by someone perhaps? Also, where was this tournament held if I may ask?"
He then moved onto her next remark about the possibility of having been stuck with a bad partner for this blind dating event, with his usual deep, rumbling chuckle
"Oh, indeed. I must thank the Norns above for granting me such a fortuitous encounter this evening/night. But yes, it was rather unexpected to lose in this manner, for I am usually accustomed to being the one on the winning end of things."
He said while gesturing upwards dramatically with his index finger and thumb pointing upward toward the ceiling as was his usual manner in these kinds of situations. After that, he finished by addressing her surprise at his revelation of his magic tricks talent, with his smug, self confident smirk wider than ever
"Well, Stacy, I am a man of many talents and I have been cultivating these over several years now, some of them since childhood, even. And yes, may Skuld, the Norn governing the future of us mortals give us her blessing for all future endeavors."
With that, he fell silent and while waiting, he turned to the waitress who was on standby and beckoned her towards the table he was sharing with Stacy, after which he ordered the night's special 5-star dinner menu. After that, he let the waitress attend to Stacy's request for her meal.

Faust then asked if she was trained by someone before the match and she nodded before she said "Indeed I did have some help in that regard in the form of a Piximon. Since he got me involved I think it was the least he could do. Seeing as the Roachmon was nothing more than an arrogant bully it felt good to put him in his place. As for where the town was I'm afraid I don't remember. Shame I don't have such a good memory anymore."
Faust seemed to be his typical eccentric self as he always was as he began gesturing upwards for awhile. Then when it came to him mentioning being a man of many talents she smiled and said "I myself am fairly gifted with multiple talents as well aside from being knowledgeable about dinosaurs of course. I also have a decent singing voice and played the violin a long time ago. Might still be pretty good if I ever take it up again."
Stacy had no idea what she wanted to order to be honest but being the bottomless pit she was she just decided to order the same thing as Faust.

Faustein smirked as he heard about how Stacy managed to put the bully Roachmon in his place and remarked while looking about and taking in the ambience of the formal setting, which included of course, the relaxing floral scent coming off the special candles that had been set in the center of their table "Indeed, those types never quite learn unless someone shows them their proper place in the food chain's hierarchy, I'd imagine. And you sing as well? Impressive, perhaps you will do me the honor of letting me listen to you sing someday?"After that, he started with the miso soup which had been prepared with the highest quality fish stock, miso powder, and other such ingredients. "Mmm...now that is a nice way to start off this meal..."He murmured while partaking with proper observance of traditional Japanese table etiquette as he was trained to do from childhood. After that was done, he sampled a couple of pieces of the premium roast beef nii sushi. While this was going on, the accompaniment of a koto performance and other traditional Japanese instruments could be heard and one of the waitresses was now performing the usual formal entertainment dance in step with the koto as was the case with these types of situations. He had requested all of this as well as that they make the dinner courses with nothing but the finest ingredients available to them since it was a special occasion. "So...do you perchance, partake of traditional sake or plum wine at all, Stacy? I have requested some to be brought in for this occasion." He asked in between his slow, manner-bound partaking of his ordered meal in the way of making light conversation with her and then fell silent, waiting to see what she would do or say in reaction, all the while with a cordial smile on his thin, cyanotic lips.

Stacy nodded and said "With luck that brute will never bully anyone else again but I also wouldn't be surprised to see him again in the future since some seem to refuse to learn their lesson." When Faust said 'Perhaps you will do me the honor of letting me listen to you sing someday?' she said "Perhaps. For all I know I may need to use this talent in Digital World related manners. Seeing the craziness that happens there I wouldn't be surprised."
While not trained in Japanese etiquette, hell she could barely hold chopsticks, Stacy tried her best not to look like she was raised by wild beasts. Holding the chopsticks somewhat clumsily in her left hand, she began eating as well. When the waitresses began dancing she watched and said "Shame I was never very coordinated or I would of been able to at least dance decently at the basic level. As it is I have two left feet."
When asked if she partake in sake or plum wine, she said "No I'm afraid not but I'm not against trying new things."

When Faustein heard Stacy remark about how the bully Roachmon she had fought in that Digital World tourney she told him about previously and mention how he could return someday for exacting his revenge, Faustein let out a brief, rumbling chuckle and remarked
"Indeed, that is precisely the trouble with certain individuals. Determination to never give up the fight can be good, but...sometimes one just has to acknowledge one's defeat with grace...though I doubt that Roachmon knows anything of such nuanced manners..."
Faustein then nodded in response to Stacy's comment about her needing to sing in the Digital World someday and responded, with an amused smirk now playing upon his thin, cyanotic lips and his mirth lighting up his intense crimson red eyes
"Interesting idea, who knows...perhaps you could even get the first ever Digital World pop idol group started with your debut."
Then, he grew more somber as Stacy went on to discuss her being uncoordinated and thus not ever having the joy of dancing and nodded once more while saying
"Ah, my sympathies to you...that is something we both share when it comes to dancing anyway, though mine has been lessened to a large extent through the rigorous training I have had since childhood for preparation to enter high society life and make my official debut which happened so many years ago. Still, I am certainly nowhere near the grace and skill that is being put on display by our hospitable waitress over there."
Then, when Stacy had indicated that she had never tasted plum wine or traditional sake before, Faustein smirked and remarked while pouring the standard measure of warm sake into an ochoko, or ceramic cylindrical sake cup, in front of him and then sliding it over gently to Stacy and then pouring some into his own ochoko afterwards
"Well now, maybe today is the day you do get to sample some finely brewed sake, Stacy. There is also a nice little traditional Japanese ritual associated with it...perhaps you've heard of a ritual called the sakazuki? We can perform it if you so desire here, and if yes, then please wait before partaking of your sake for my instructions on this."
Then, he fell silent and waited for Stacy's remarks and reactions to his suggestion of the sakazuki ritual.

Stacy chuckled in regards to the Roachmon and said "I don't think he ever understood the basics of manners or, if he did, he chose to ignore them. At least the village booted him out when they started standing up to him so they probably don't have to worry about him anymore."
When Faust mentioned she could start her own pop idol group, she shook her head and said "My heavens no. I may no longer deal with stage fright but my anxiety in crowds would make such a thing impossible. Not to mention my lack of talent for dancing."
Stacy listened to Faustein's words regarding his training regarding high society before she said "Well one thing that likely didn't help my coordination growing up was having one leg end up growing a little longer than the other. At least my digimon forms don't have those physical obstacles."
As Faustein poured the sake into the cylindrical cups he mentioned a ritual and Stacy said "I'm afraid as I am a woman of European and Native American decent not born here in Japan that my knowledge of Japanese rituals is really limited. It took me almost a year since getting here to barely speak Japanese at conversational level and even then I usually speak English out of habit."

Faustein nodded as he listened to Stacy tell him about how the villagers had begun to stand up to the bully Roachmon and then finally drove him out as punishment and then remarked, chuckling
"Here's hoping he will never show up there again, for their sake."
Then, he went on to address Stacy's description of her reasons for not being able to start a pop idol group and her experiences with her coordination
"Ah, that would be quite troublesome, indeed and yes, it is a good thing that your digimon forms do not have that physical obstacle as it would prove at best a hindrance and perhaps even highly dangerous at worst if you were to be in battle against some especially skilled and high level enemy digimon."
Finally, he proceeded to respond to her narrative about her descent and how it took her a while to pick up Japanese culture and language
"European and Native American, eh? That's quite intriguing, and as for me, I am German and Japanese in terms of ancestry and I too was not born in Japan but in America instead. I had to move here for further education and also since my grandparents wanted to introduce me to the main part of my family's business conglomerate since I am to take over its management someday. Regarding language, it was also part of my preparation training for entry into high society...I was made to take pretty much all the commonly spoken languages in the world, or at least those from nations with a thriving economy and marketing opportunities."
He was about to describe the sakazuki ritual to Stacy afterward, but then he got a message ordering him to return to handle a certain high stakes business deal, so he responded accordingly to her
"Ah, it would seem I am needed to attend a business deal conference on behalf of my family, so I am afraid we will have to conclude this most enjoyable evening together at this point. Perhaps you will allow me the honor of showing you the sakazuki ritual some other time, Stacy. You have my gratitude for the wonderful time and company you have provided me with today and may we meet again upon some adventure or another. I hope you too had an enjoyable time with me here today"
After that, he bowed to her and arose from his seat, waiting for Stacy so they could leave together.

Yes Stacy did hope that Roachmon would leave the villagers alone since they would now stand up to him but she had a feeling that it would not be the last she would see of that prideful bully. Though it was merely a hunch with her habit of finding trouble it would likely be a matter of time before she finds trouble again whether by Roachmon or not was hardly the point. That and Faust was known for trouble to but she knew it wasn't because of heroic habits since his moral compass seemed what she would call wobbly at best and he appeared to be more than just a little eccentric yet she didn't mind being around him. Hell, she even thought of him as a friend even if he was the equivalent of that one awkward kid in the friend group that didn't seem to fit in anywhere else. "Yes one can hope. Though if I meet him again I'm sure I can more than hold my own against him." Stacy said with a chuckle of her own.
When he mentioned the limitations of her human form when compared to her digimon forms she said "It seems the forms I become are naturally agile digimon and the process of digivolution seems to remove my less than athletic qualities or someone such as myself definitely wouldn't of lasted a year traveling back and forth through both the Human and Digital Worlds."
When Faustein mentioned his decent it made her quirk an eyebrow before she grinned. "I had a feeling you were of German decent. I happen to be of German decent myself. That and French. As for my Native American I have Cherokee and Blackfoot in me as well." she said listening as she learned that, like herself, Faustein had also been born in America but seemed to be a much better off family money wise. "I was not exactly born into money myself. I never had a lot of money but somehow have made it for myself just fine I suppose. Though I never had the money to go to college, at least I was able to finish high school. Having a learning disability didn't always make that easy either."
Then Faustein got a message that involved a business conference and Stacy said "I understand the importance of work especially when related to business conferences. Shame that the dinner had to be interrupted so abruptly." As Faustein bowed she did the same before finishing her drink and getting up. As they left together and before Faustein and her parted ways, she said "I did have a good time here tonight even though I wasn't expecting you to be my date tonight."

Faustein nodded at Stacy's remark about how she could handle Roachmon if he came around again while remarking
"The town is blessed to have a defender like you, Stacy."
Then, he went on to address her remarks about her digivolution line and the advantages it provided her
"Indeed, I find that digivolution, especially in spirit wielders is a marvelous process which is potent enough to push them to new heights of ability, beyond their human limitations."
After that, he moved onto the topic of their ancestry and related matters
"Quite the worldly heritage you got there...reminds me of a girl I knew during my collegiate days...she basically had at least one ancestor who was naturally from each country on earth...quite the unique personality, that one. As for the being born into money thing, it is admittedly convenient to have that sort of backing, but...it comes at the rather steep price of freedom...you would not believe how many high stakes business deals I've had to be present at or preside over till now...but then as the old adage goes...'the grass is always greener on the other side of the pasture'...that said, at the risk of sounding patronizing...please allow me to offer you my sympathies, for that must have been difficult for you growing up, Stacy."
Finally, he finished off his remarks with complimenting Stacy in return and remarking on the surprise at having her as a date partner
"Indeed, nor I you Stacy, but...I am glad it was you and not some random female stranger. At least I was free to be myself instead of putting up a façade tonight, and for that I thank you sincerely. Well then mademoiselle, I would be honored to give you a ride back home to ensure you get there before it becomes too late tonight, but alas...I must bid you a fond au revoir until next we meet and go attend to that business conference."
With that, he bowed to her one last time and after taking her hand and laying a light kiss on the back of it like one of those stereotypical Victorian gentlemen, he headed off to his car and drove off home.
