According to what Kshin had told Colin, the digiworld could be accessed through Trailmon located in a secret part of the subway that his digivice would unlock. He had no idea what that meant or what to look for but not knowing what he was doing had never stopped him in the past, and it wouldn’t stop him now by George!
So it was that in his best emerald, green suit and bright yellow tie, that Colin made his way into the depths of the Shibuya train terminal. He quickly ruled out the platforms he was familiar with and went about exploring the various areas he wasn’t familiar with. Even as tall and outlandish as he was, he was mostly able to blend into the crowd, mostly. He did manage to knock a few people with the large stuffed duffel bag full of miscellaneous supplies he was carrying. His backpack shaped like a cheeseburger got the occasional sideways glance, especially when it looked like something was moving around inside of it.
But by trusting his instincts and checking the places where nobody seemed to be rushing to, Colin eventually found a sealed platform entrance with some kind of scanner. Smiling to himself, Colin pulled out his D3 and surreptitiously presented it to the scanner, there was a brief flash of light and the door unlocked with an audible click. Bingo bango.
Colin quickly slipped inside the seemingly abandoned platform and saw what looked like a red locomotive with a single golden eye staring at him expectantly. The two kept staring at each other in silence for a long while before Colin coughed awkwardly. “Trailmon, I take it?” The trailmon blinked at him “Were you expecting a submarimon?” Colin didn’t know how to answer that and hesitated before the trailmon laughed, “You must be new, hop on!” A door opened on the side of the trailmon and Colin smiled in relief. “Very decent of you!” The trailmon chuckled as Colin climbed in.
By the time they arrived at the trailmon terminal and Colin exited he was comfortable enough to give the locomotive Digimon a pat on the side. “Thanks for the ride, Edgar, and you keep working on your writing, that’s really good stuff you showed me.” The trailmon blushed, “Aw shucks.” And the two said their farewells.
During the ride Boyo (still in Pagumon form) had obviously been released from the captivity of his hamburger backpack which had been stuffed into the green duffle bag that Colin carried. Boyo was sitting on it looking up at Terminus city in awe, as was Colin. The two of them let out a long lengthy whistle in unison before Colin started walking towards the nearest city gates. Colin was looking around for other humans, so he approached a guard at the front gate, “Excuse me, do you have a new arrivals center, or maybe and information booth for new humans?” He asked politely.

This was a place that Misaki could thrive in. No more rough terrain or uneven ground. Just flat, smooth pavement that felt comfortable to walk on. The fact that it had taken this long for her to even attempt going to the city was staggering, honestly, but it was always one goose chase after another. Either that or just getting lost. Misaki wasn't the greatest with directions, sadly.
She had secured a place to stay in Rosewood, where she left ample food and supplies for those kids she had kind of... kidnapped. Or adopted. What was the correct terminology for transforming into an angel and flying off with two kids who had been abandoned inside a mausoleum for god knows how long? Adoptnapping. That was probably it. Still, even though Rosewood wasn't too long of a Trailmon ride away, she was still more than a little hesitant on leaving them alone for too long. But the kids didn't behave so well in crowds, so it wasn't like Misaki could bring them along. She figured she could purchase some things to make her living conditions a bit more accommodating.
Which begged the question for her... what now? She still had her job and apartment in the human world. Thanks to the time disparity between the two worlds, a 2-hour photoshoot would be over half a day over here. And that's not even considering the fact that she'd still need to show up early. Models who make a habit of arriving late tend to not get called upon so often in the future. So... should she bring those Digimon kids to the human world? Could Digimon, creatures made entirely of data, even survive for very long in the human world without like... medical side effects or something? The last things she would want to do is take the kids to her cramped apartment in Shibuya only for them to develop some... environmental Digi-cancer. It was times like these that Misaki regretted the kind of Digivice she had. Transforming into a Digimon was fine and dandy, but just because she could take the form of some Digighosts didn't mean she could talk to them. She just didn't know too much about Digimon enough to have the answers she needed.
And the kids seemed to tolerate Misaki for now, but what if they suddenly decided they didn't need anyone to take care of them anymore? They weren't big talkers, which Misaki of all people couldn't really criticize, but it also meant she had a hard time knowing what they were thinking. But if the two Digimon, who were living weapons, mind you, decided they wanted to strike it out on their on in the human world... The results might not be pretty.
But all of those worries should probably pushed aside for her immediate concern. For immediately after getting off the Trailmon from Rosewood... she had no idea where to go. Or even what to look for in the first place. Thankfully, she managed to overhear a rather tall human, probably one of the oldest she'd ever seen in the Digital World, ask a nearby guard for some information. Couldn't get much better than this. Misaki wasn't much of a talker, and her text-to-speech on her phone was only about as reliable as her phone was in this world... which wasn't much at all. She figured she'd stay nearby and listen in to hear.
Would some young woman conspicuously eavesdropping on this guy's conversation be a little awkward? Probably, but desperate times and all!

Well this was certainly quite the way to travel, Luna was used to high speeds but this was something else! What high speeds was she talking about? Well pretty much she had convinced the Trailmon to let her stay on top of the train while they drove to Terminus! How she made that happened was a very complex story involving many different posts and.
She pretty much just asked nicely and he let her on board, apparently if you pay for a ticket you can travel whatever way you want, Who knew! So from Rosewood to Terminus Luna rode on top of the train, feeling the wind against her and her mind at peace for a while, at least until they hit a tunnel and she had to hang on to the back of the train for a little bit so she didn't get completely knocked off!
Afterwards though the Trailmon would pull into the station and Luna would pull herself upwards back onto the Train, standing with her arms crossed like this was some movie pose as the Train slowed down to a crawl to pull into the station looking around Luna had realized it had been a while since she was in Terminus! This was definitely a weird thing to experience but considering she had lived here for quite a long time she was sure she knew this place like the back of her hand... Well at least to the degree of her ability given her problem with directions!
Though with the Trailmon stopped Luna wasn't really ready for a return trip back, walking a bit backwards from where she was the Lekismon would then run forward before jumping an incredible height from the train down towards the city gates landing on her feet in front of two humans and a city guard striking a small pose. "Man, who knew riding on a train could be so much fun! Oh hi, sorry if I scared you." Luna didn't intend to scare anyone, but she supposed jumping off a train and onto the ground in front of some humans would be quite the strange sight to see!

Colin indeed gave a little startled jump as the pastel Digimon with lots of ears landed by him with a loud thud and struck a pose. He gave a good-natured smile though, “Oh quite alright, no harm done,” he said dismissively. Boyo’s eyes went wide and underneath the fur he started to blush, he even timidly put his ears in front of his face to hide himself. Colin looked down and smiled down at his partner, ruffling his head affectionately but not saying anything, he knew that look.
Luna had caused Colin to turn however and notice Misaki, he gave a good-natured smile to the human woman and waved. “Well, hello!” Colin moved so he was facing both Luna and Misaki, not wanting to be rude and cut either of them out of the conversation. “I’m Colin, this is Boyo my partner, this is our first time in the Digiworld, I don’t suppose you know where I could…uh” he paused looking uncertain for a moment then grinned, “Ya know, I didn’t plan beyond getting here! What’s there to do and see here?” He inquired with a tilted head.
At this Boyo peeked out from his ears to look up at Colin. “You didn’t have a plan!? I assumed you knew what you were doing!” He proclaimed in surprise and Colin chuckled, “That was your first mistake, literally.” Observed Colin. He turned his attention back to two he had addressed before, “I guess, is there a hub or school for tamers, something like that?” He tilted his head looked to either one of them for an answer.

Misaki had seen more than a few things in the Digital World, but the author's favorite Digimon bunny people jumping from atop trains in what might be the kindest way to give up your seat on the train possible? That was a new one. She smiled in delight as the odd happening occur, she shook her head to let the Digimon know that while surprising, wasn't really alarming. Not compared to the nastier mons that would give you a literal shock. Then the old dude greeted both Misaki and the rabbit Digimon, and she smiled and gave a mock-curtsy in response. Because why not?
As for his information... well, there was only so much Misaki had to go on. Honestly, she was in the same boat as the tall bastard over here. So she pulled out a pad of sticky-notes, scribbled,
I'm Misaki. Also to your question, "?"
She followed it up what a shrug and moved towards the actual Digimon that wasn't a baby. Surely she must be good with directions and could bring them to a place where these mere humans can find their bearings!

Well it seems Luna didn't scare anyone with her jump! That was always good. After they mentioned that she just gave a smile and a thumbs up. "Well that's good, Nice to meet ya, my name's Luna I'm a doctor from Rosewood." She paused for a moment before letting out a small laugh. "And yes the name Luna does hafta do with the moon symbols all round me." That was usually an obvious assessment just by looking at her but it felt more fun to point it out herself.
"No plan huh? Well no worries. Most humans I run into don't seem to have a plan!" While she did intend for that to sound nice it did come across like a lot of humans she knew were reckless, which might be true might not who knows! "There ain't really a hub or school. Though actually there should be, that's a good idea with humans always showing up!" Why that wasn't the case? Who knows! That sounds like a human's problem.
"Nothing beats real experience though, if ya want I can show you around. I used to live around here so I should be able to show you around well enough." Luna offered with a smile, she didn't really have a reason for being here right now, might as well make a reason! "Terminus is pretty safe anyways, if anyone did try something they'd have a lotta problems." Between guards and digimon that could just problem solve it was hard for any jerks to really cause problems, usually.

Colin didn’t look taken aback by the formal curtsey from the other human, he was taken aback he just didn’t show it. He looked down at the notepad and gave it a curious read, “It’s a pleasure to meet you Misaki,” he said respectfully to the teen. The question mark was not too informative, and he wasn’t entirely sure what she meant by it, but the shrug was pretty self-explanatory.
As Luna introduced herself as a doctor, he looked suitably impressed. He hadn’t expected that Digimon would have doctors, as digital entities did the term doctor even apply? “So the digiworld has medical schools?” He asked curiously trying to picture how strange and complicated it must be to memorize all the different anatomies on the different Digimon. What if a Digimon un-evolved during an important medical procedure.
Deciding that he was perhaps over thinking it he moved on. “Well, it’s great to meet you, Luna! I’d love to get shown around by someone familiar with the area, it always helps to have a local guide.” He turned his gaze to Misaki “Would you care to join us?” he offered politely.
Boyo meanwhile had begun punching the air with his ears in a rather macho display, “If anyone gives us any trouble, I’ll show em’ the old razzle dazzle!” He proclaimed confidently hopping up and down on the duffel bag.

Misaki was little disappointed that Colin didn't really react to her silly gesture. Shame. Oh well, there's always the next person she'll inevitably meet.
And when Luna began to explain what it was she did, and when Colin asked the innocuous question, she couldn't help but imagine the situation of wolves, robots, dragons, and dinos all sitting around in a classroom setting while some fish in a lab coat lectured them. Well... Digimon all had their own ways of healing. Chances are, she just had healing abilities, kind of like how so many Digimon could put down "Demolitions" in their job title.
Luna offered her services and like Colin, Misaki was gleeful to take her up on the opportunity, she smiled and bowed her head as if to say "please take care of me". And with Colin's approval, she did the same to him, nodding all the same. Colin's Digimon, Boyo displayed a great deal of confidence, and Misaki smiled back at him as if she were relieved by his presence. She reach over and attempted to pat him on the head.
Maybe it was a bit condescending, but hey, what's the point of acting all macho if you don't get the ladies' attention? Why not humor him a little?

Luna gave a short wave as the other human introduced herself. "Yeah, nice to meet ya." Why she was writing on a pad instead of talking Luna had no idea! But if she wanted to do that then it was her choice, who was Luna to question it. She just rode on the top of a train for crying out loud the skies the limit when you wanna do something!
Then the question about medical school came up, Luna just shook her head no. "Nah, I just have a lotta abilities that can heal digimon. Though I did have to learn a bit on how to take care of humans, you all have a surprising amount of stuff going on in there." It was really weird to read but now Luna knew how to take care of a wounded human, at least to the best she could.
Misaki seemed on board with getting walked around by Luna, she gave a thumbs up and a smile. "Welcome aboard, I promise I'll help to the best of my abilities." Now if those abilities were good or not was a question that was up to the whims of Yggdrasil! But it was probably gonna be a fun time regardless.
Then Colin's partner Boyo talked about giving them the razzle dazzle, Luna lifted her hand up to her head and gave the digimon a small salute. "We'll be counting on ya, anywhoo lets get this show on the road!" With that Luna went through the gates heading towards what she thought was the Coliseum but was instead heading towards the mall on accident.

While the ‘mon was pat and saluted he puffed up with pride and put his ears on his side, posing like superman to the best of his ability. Colin chuckled as he silently thought about a line from a childhood movie of his. He decided to keep the line to himself though. As they walked Colin turned to Misaki and asked “So, what brings you to the digiworld? Have you been here long?” Silently he also wondered why Misaki didn’t have a partner Digimon as he only knew about tamers. But he kept that question to himself, not wanting to perhaps ask a rude or ignorant question. Meanwhile, Boyo looked around, giving the Digimon who gave the humans the stink eye, the stink eye right back. It wasn’t particularly effective, some Digimon going so far as to openly chuckle or laugh at Boyo’s posturing. But on the other hand, no one seemed to be giving them any trouble, for now. After growling at one particularly nasty-looking Digimon who seemed completely apathetic to the Pagumon, Boyo turned to Luna eagerly and asked “So where we headed?” He had no idea what kinds of marvels they might be seeing that day and was eager to see the sights that Terminus had to offer.

As they walked, Misaki noticed a few sidelong glances from some of the natives. But Misaki didn't mind it too much. In fact, the attention was kind of nice. So she simply smiled back towards those she caught looking at them, even taking the opportunity to gingerly wave to some of the particularly mean-looking ones. Still, even with Luna as a guide, any Digimon that would get unnecessarily aggressive might pose a danger to the guy with a young Digimon, and Boyo's confidence didn't make him seem like the type to stand down when a much larger Digimon got in his face. Or in the tiny round Digimon's case... his entire body. So Misaki kept her D-Tector Digivice gripped in her other hand. Couldn't be too safe and whatnot.
Colin had asked him what brought her here, and she shrugged at first, before quickly taking the time to scribble a note.
Oh, you know. The sights. Beaches, mountains, valleys. All without having to but a single plane ticket. Only thing it costs is the occasional rampaging monster that tries to eat your face off
She offered Colin a joking smile as he finished reading the note, though what she wrote wasn't necessarily untrue. All kind of depended on how your journey went. Sometimes there was the rampaging monster, sometimes there were the small monster children that you abruptly decide to adopt. Life's weird like that.
Anyways, it seemed like Luna knew exactly where she was going, so Misaki eagerly awaited their destination... wherever they went.

Luna... Didn't really like the way some digimon were looking at the two following her, she was more used to this kind of behavior somewhere around El Doradimon not around Terminus, though she didn't tend to walk around with humans in major cities so maybe that was why. Luna just did her best to maintain her focus ahead and refuse to make eye contact with the digimon that stared at them, best to try and avoid conflict as much as she could after all. Still though Luna had her barrier spell ready just in case.
Looking back at the two of them she noticed what Mitsaki had written, letting out a slightly nervous chuckle at that last part. "Sadly yes, such a big world there's bound to be digimon like that, suppose it keeps me in business but I'd no one got attacked." Monsters of the week did tend to make her job busy but she would much rather not have heal others and just have them be safe.
When asked where they were going she was going to tell them the Colosseum, but turning with a smile on her face she realized based on the surroundings that was not where they were. Taking a moment to retrace where she was Luna decided to say the first place she thought she was. "Heading to the mall of course, There's a lot of neat stuff you can't get in the human world. It's a great place to see." She didn't know for sure that's where they were heading but she was luckily right on the money.
