Mysteries of the Human World (Open)

Feeling warmth disappear from the bed Grace shivered and scooted so she was snuggling again but when she felt Kshin's peach fuzz her eyes cracked open before seeing that Flynt wasn't snuggled between them. Looking around she saw Flynt fiddling with the door and reached over to Kshin shaking the Gumdramon awake. Kshin's amber eyes cracked open but before he could say anything Grace pointed to the door Flynt had gotten open and Kshin leapt out of bed with Grace following right behind.

Kshin and Grace followed Flynt grateful they had paid for the room in advance so disappearing seemingly without a trace wouldn't later get them in trouble. Soon Flynt came across a closet and opened it. Inside was a vortex of some kind and the DemiMeramon reached out to touch it. Kshin sprung forward touching Flynt before he touched the vortex and Grace grabbed his tail feeling something would likely happen.

It turned out Grace's instincts were on the money as the three of them were transported to a park and Kshin sighed as he recognized this very park as the Miyashita Park in the Human World. This was just great. So how would they keep Flynt outta trouble since the little guy lacked a holosuit?

Some time had passed once again since Arthur had his latest adventure wherein Arthur had gotten to experience his first ever encounter with and trip to the parallel dimension known only as the "Digital World". His guide in this momentous adventure was none other than his recent new acquaintance (i.e., the young heiress of the Romanov/Romanova business family, Viktoriya Romanova) and by the end of this first sojourn through this brave new world, Arthur had obtained his official status as one of the Digidestined as signified by his acquisiton of his D-tector and the associated Sprite spirit (i.e., Wormmon). Since then, Arthur had once again gotten back to the grind of his daily life of high society training, his scholarly duties as a student of Tokyo U., assisting his parents with the running of the business conglomerate owned and ran by their family, and so on. In this manner, time had marched on for Arthur until present day wherein, he was currently in Miyashita Park looking for the lost cat of one of his family's close friends since he had been asked by that family's head to search for this beloved family pet of theirs.

Now then, if memory serves, they had said...the cat was last seen around this area...so maybe...I should look for some tracks?...

He mused silently as he was wandered about the park further and further until finally, instead of a lost and confused floofball of a smol feline, he found something far more amusing to interact with, what seemed like a floating fireball

A...will-o-wisp?...that is quite the odd sight...though it does pique my curiosity...

Musing further, still silently, in this manner Arthur decided to draw closer to this strange fireball to investigate it further all the while making sure the three-piece suit he was wearing right now would not get damaged by the foliage he was passing by and as a result, all thought of his client's request was pushed far down on his list of current situational priorities. Of course, since he was not sure whether the fireball was dangerous or not, he decided to approach in a slow, cautious manner from behind so as to minimize the chances of provoking any reaction from it. Little did he know that he would encounter a whole lot than just his current object of fascination here in this quaint little park.

OOC:

-Appearance (Arthur):

"Flynt, slow down this is the Human World and not all humans know about digimon." Kshin said as he trotted after the DemiMeramon who was floating around enamoured by the place as it was new to him. This could get awkward if they were spotted by humans who were oblivious of digimon. 

"Kshin, I smell humans not far from here." Grace said causing Kshin's eyes to widen as he looked around seeing Flynt approach another human in his curiosity. This could be very good or very bad but Kshin silently prayed this human was aware of digimon or else the little Gumdramon would have some explaining to do. Then a familiar sensation struck. Yes there was no mistaking it. There was also another digimon not far from where they were but wasn't visible to them as of yet. "Kshin, do you sense what I'm sensing?"

"Yes, Grace, I sense a digimon nearby too but let's deal with one potential problem at a time." Kshin said as he activated his holosuit, with Grace following suit seconds later, before he trotted over to Flynt and scooped up the fiery digimon as he was trying to investigate the unfamiliar man. "Sorry about my friend, mister. He's young and very curious of new things but he isn't dangerous...." Kshin said ending in what sounded like a bit of a ramble as he hoped things wouldn't fall apart at the seems and his racing heart didn't help matters any.

As Arthur looked on, he saw the little fireball start to move closer towards him and realized it must be some sort of digimon but could not make it out completely since said digimon went and hid itself behind a nearby tree. It was then that his Wormmon spirit spoke in his mindscape unheard by any but him, confirming his suspicions

Master Edogawa, it is as you suspect, this fireball is more certainly a digimon, but we would have to go closer to find out more...it would advisable to stay vigilant as we approach...

Arthur nodded seemingly to no one and began to draw closer when he saw another being show up but this one seemed to be human and had another one accompanying him and the first one began to talk first, apparently trying to explain the situation and that the fireball digimon was not harmful

"There is no need to worry, friends. I fully realize that is a digimon of some sort, albeit one that is as yet unfamiliar to me...but if it HAD wanted to harm me in any way, I am fairly certain it would have already started attacking me by now...but seeing as it has not done so, I am led to conclude it is not hostile...yet...then again, I have no further data on this subject, therefore it would be unwise to draw any further conclusions on this matter at this time."

He spoke thus in his naturally rich, baritone and melodious voice after which he paused for effect to make sure the two strangers were following his remarks and then continued

"That said, I too do NOT wish to enter into an unnecessary confrontation with your group if there is no need to, so let us forestall that rather unsavory possibility by concurring to keep this interaction cordial and amicable, shall we? I do believe that would be in the best interests of all of us currently here."

Overall, if the two were listening closely, Arthur's accent and diction would be that of a young man who comes from both a great deal of wealth, power, and influence, namely one that had been put through numerous years of training in order to achieve this superlative clarity and fluidity of speech as well as the confidence of one who had a fair bit of experience speaking in proper public oration.

A few moments afterwards, Arthur and his two seemingly human conversational partners were joined by another pair of beings, this one being a human like himself and what appeared to be some kind of insectoid digimon dressed in human clothing, presumably to try to blend in and avoid notice

Master Edogawa, we have more company still...and one of them is from the same family as I and my line...

Arthur heard his Wormmon spirit speak up again, alerting him to the similarity between himself and the insectoid digimon accompanying the new person who had just joined the party and so Arthur remarked, still in his mindscape, albeit externally, he seemed to be lost in thought at the appearance of the newcomers

You mean that digimon is also possibly from your Jungle Troopers family, then? How very intriguing...the plot is starting to thicken, I see...let us see where this scenario will lead us, eh?

With that, he turned his attention partly to the newcomers while keeping the other half on the two seemingly human beings on his other side and as he did, the spiky blue haired young man started off, remarking how the other two must have some remarkable excuse to explain away their fireball digimon party member and so, Arthur decided to silently behold the interaction between said young man, his digimon companion, and the other two that were accompanying the fireball digimon that had his interest currently, though his coal-black eyes with the prominent dark circles under them caused by his chronic self-induced sleep deprivation were now alight with even stronger curiosity fueled by the appearance of the insectoid digimon similar to a young boy's when faced with a transforming mecha from some anime, so his gaze was riveted alternatingly on the fireball digimon and this new one.

While Kshin was dealing with a wiggling Flynt, Grace heard an unfamiliar voice and spun around on her heels seeing a human with an oddly dressed Tentomon but that wasn't an issue with the disguised Gammamon. "Hi there! My name is Grace and I'm here with my friends Kshin and Flynt! Are you a tamer or a new xros general?" Grace said her peppy nature rearing its head as her attention had floated to Yuji and Kazuo.

Meanwhile, while dealing with a wiggling and whimpering Flynt, Kshin looked at Arthur looking amazed at the well dressed stranger with a vocabulary easily as good as Mandrake's though his adopted father rarely got the chance to flex such a vocabulary dealing with dimwits and crude brutes. "Uhm, Hi. I'm Kshin and the little guy in my arms is my friend, Flynt. As for the peppy girl, that's Grace." Boy did Kshin feel lost on how to talk to this guy but just decided to go with the casual approach like he did with Mandrake and Lothar.

Turning his attention to the struggling Flynt, he said "Flynt, wandering around the Human World without a holosuit is a bad idea. Most humans don't know about digimon and not only would it cause a panic but it could cause bad humans to come after us and maybe hurt us." Kshin had no idea if his words were reaching the DemiMeramon but when he saw the indications of Flynt digivolving he muttered "Oh no." He only had seconds to brace himself against the sudden weight increase but, in this case, seconds was not enough as now that Flynt was Vorvomon the weight pulled Kshin down causing the young disguised dragon to faceplant with an 'ow' before he released his grip on Flynt. 

The crash caused Grace to spin around seeing Kshin spitting out dirt before she asked "Kshin, are you okay?"

Arthur was calmly observing and listening to the two seemingly human entities and their little fireball friend who had now digivolved to become some sort of dark dragon-like digimon made of what seemed to be lava and igneous rock for a body. Said sudden change in form had even caused the one holding him, called Kshin, to topple over and do a rather nasty-looking faceplant, but fortunately all of them were able to introduce themselves before this accident happened, so Arthur replied in kind

"Ah, introductions are in order, eh? Very well, you may call me Herlock Solmes henceforth. It is truly a pleasure to make your accquaintances."

With that, he gave the three a small bow and then fell silent, waiting for Kshin to try to pick himself back up with the newfound weight in his arms. Just then, the other party of two which his "Wormmon" spirit had noticed before finally made an appearance on scene and then, Arthur silently observed them interact with Kshin, Grace, and Flynt whom he had been talking to before then. After that, he looked on as Yuji inquired as the identities of his conversational partners and revealed that he was a Tamer class Digidestined. So, Arthur spoke up after that with his two cents

"I am Herlock Solmes and I happen to be a spirit user as can be seen from my spirit partner here and my D-tector."

Saying thus, he snapped his fingers once with his left hand, causing his "Wormmon" Sprite spirit to materialize in ectoplasmic form for all to see while pulling out his D-tector with his right hand and displaying it to all present.



His "Wormmon" Sprite spirit then introduced himself as well to all present with a bow, or what would be considered such from a caterpillar, and in much the same cordial and sophisticated, albeit somewhat theatrical manner as did Arthur himself several moments ago

"Greetings and salutations to all. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintances. I am the spirit partner of young Master Solmes here."

With that, he fell silent as well and waited alongside Arthur to experience whatever would happen next in the current situation.

After spitting out what felt like a mountain's worth of dirt for the disguised Gumdramon known as Kshin, he pushed himself onto his elbows before sitting up resting on his knees. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just didn't expect Flynt to digivolve so suddenly." Kshin said grateful he was a digimon or he likely would of hurt himself so he was dirty but otherwise uninjured so that was a good thing. Grace smiled as she then watched Kshin push himself to his feet showing he was fine as well before taking more of a look at Kazuo. The Tentomon had a curious disguise choice but Kshin shrugged it off as it didn't bother him if it worked for the bug digimon.

Meanwhile a large smile had spread across Grace's face as she said "It is so nice to meet all of you." If undisguised her little black wings in her Gammamon form would be fluttering with excitement so instead she was bouncing with energy and just being herself.

Next thing Kshin new was Flynt was on his back but at least the disguised dragon was now prepared for the sudden weight. Meanwhile Grace noticed that Flynt was distressed and began rubbing the Vorvomon's back and said "Shh. It's okay, Flynt. You won't get sucked into the digivices even if you are being bad. That's not how the digivices work."
