Takiyo Hirotastops to grab a snack for his Digimon
Boy, does he hate crowds. especially the kind that keeps pushing and shoving like jerks. Thankfully, Taki broke through the crowd, reaching a nearby vending machine. Well, he promised his new Digimon some snacks, so he paid for some potato chips and opened the bag. "Alright, hope you like chips." Holding in his bag, "Do Digimon eat chips or maybe stuff pixel stuff from compu-AGH!!" And his hand nearly got bitten before he snapped it away...
...and watched the Botamon just...devour the chips in seconds.
"...you know what? Never mind." He hopes that'll make him happy, even for just a tiny bit. In the meantime...well...he never asked where in this station is he supposed to find this gate to the Digital World. Or...maybe she did say it, but he wasn't listening. Oh, curse his short attention span when it comes to anything but video games and other cool stuff. "Ugh, and I think we lost Arika."
Well, again, the crowds here are terrible, so maybe separated them. Oh, she'll give them a call, or she'll trace him via GPS.

Arika Ozaki"Hey!!" Arika shouted, caught in the rough traffic of people. "Get off me!!" With all her might, she broke between some people, pulling herself out of the line, "AAGH!" And nearly hitting a corner of a building. "Jerks!"
Okay, time to recall. They hurried through back roads, trying to avoid as many people as they could, because Taki's Digimon is such a whiner. When they arrived near the Shibuya Station, they were separated by the wild and bustling people of the city who're trying to catch the subways trains that don't wait for anyone for more than a minute. So now, she can't find Taki.
Her Digimon then poked out of her bag. "Ms. Arika, are you okay? Were you attacked by Digimon?"
"I'm fine, Kopurimon. And no, I was assaulted by something worse than Digimon...city traffic."
"...huh?"
"Don't worry about it." Taking out he phone, she went over her GPS app to try to track down Taki's phone. "...so, you were this...MetalKoromon, right? And now Kopurimon? Do your names change when you evolve?"
"Yes?"
"That's gonna be confusing. You mind I give you an actual name?"
"I hear that's a trend around the Digital World."
"Good." Finding Taki's signal, she followed it, while trying to come up with a name. She looked around...and spotted someone dressed like some stupid gangster. His jacket had so much graffiti-like designs, but one name stood out. "How about...Nazz?"
"...okay?" She sound like she had no concerns over that name, or that she didn't know what it meant.

It seemed that the two fourteen year old tamers weren't the only ones that got separated in the intense hustle and bustle as Blackjack, much to his worry and frustration, has lost track of his older twin sister Harmony. He managed to push his way free of the crowd near a vending machine where a boy was secretly feeding his partner digimon a bag of chips. Looking around the disguised Cardmon brought his hands to his mouth in an effort to help his voice project further as he called out. "Harmony! Harmony! Where are you?" he yelled yet heard nothing in return. Was his sister out of hearing range? Now the street smart young gambler was worried as neither he nor his sister had super hearing making their hearing barely better than a human's. So now what should he do? Blackjack considered entering the crowd to search for his sister but heard if one was lost it was best to stay put so he stood there not knowing what to do as he scanned the crowd.
Meanwhile Harmony, who was closer to Arika, was looking around for Blackjack but she was meeting the same problem her brother was which worried her as well. Despite her worry she had to remain as calm as possible so she could focus on using her brother's alias instead of her brother's full name. After all how common was the name Jack in Japan anyway? Probably not that common. Taking a deep breath she cupped her mouth like her brother had done before she shouted "Jack! Jack! Come on this isn't funny! Where are you?" It was likely her brother couldn't hear her in this ridiculously large crowd. Her efforts to try to find her twin made her almost bump into a young teen girl before she looked down at the girl and said "Oops. I'm sorry about that. Are you okay?"

Takiyo Hirotafinds someone lost someone
Groaning, seeing that his Digimon was still hungry, he bought a chocolate bar and just peeled off the wrapping, dropping the candy in his bag, hoping no one noticed him doing something weird. The Botamon didn't even chew it, but swallowed it. "Jeez, where do you pack it in that little body of yours?"
And the Botamon burped.
Well that was gross...and very rude. "Ugh..."
He's pretty sure that Arika's tracking him down, so he might as well find where they're supposed to go to enter this Digital World. But it's a little hard to see through the moving crowd, and he's a little scared to go in there and get shoved into the actual traffic. He looked around, trying to find a pathway toward the entrance...
...when some guy stepped near him, calling someone named Harmony. From the way his tone was, it sounds like this girl was lost. It probably wasn't his business, but...ugh, what if this Harmony was his daughter or little sister? His conscious will never leave him alone unless he does something about it. "...ugh, man..."
Adjusting his bag, he walked over to the older person. "Excuse me, sir? Have you lost someone?"

Arika OzakiCrossing the street toward the block the station is on, she can see Taki's signal just close by. She just needs to get through this massive moving crowd, first. "Jeez, it's almost like a wall there." She just needs to be quick and flexible here, and alert for any openings through the crowd. There's bound to be a parted moment any time now...
"Hm?"And just when she noticed someone coming at her, "AGH!" she was too late to react as she almost got knocked over. "Watch it!" Great, another older girl who might act like she knows everything. Well...at least this one apologized, unlike many other people who bump into her without concern for her well-being. "Uh...it's....okay," she sighed, waving her hand in an uncaring manner.
And she went back to looking for an opening in the crowd but seems like there wasn't going to be a opening. Scoffing, she took out her phone and dialed.

Blackjack, like his twin sister, had taken on the disguise of teenage humans but definitely at least teenage humans of sixteen or more so when the boy near the vending machine spoke to him he probably mistook him for a young adult. That was fair enough he supposed. Then as the younger boy got close enough Blackjack felt it, there was a digimon in his bag. So this teen was a tamer. Deciding to play things cool for a time the young gambler looked the young teen in the eye before he said "Yeah I lost track of my older twin sister in this chaos of a crowd. There are more people on the way to the station then I thought there would be."
Meanwhile with Harmony, the girl she nearly bumped into was okay though the disguised marine based Cardmon found it quite odd that the girl was waving her off and then she felt it. There was a digimon in the girl's bag but she decided not to make a scene since doing so could no doubt incite a panic. Harmony went back to looking for Blackjack who, despite being disguised as a fairly tall teenager, was apparently still easily lost in the crowd. If only this enormous crowd would thin out because that would make it not only easier to find her brother but get to the hidden Trailmon station.

Takiyo Hirotamanages to find Arika
Oh, his twin, meaning she's as old as he is. Still, it's very concerning to lose your family like this, regardless of age. "Yeah, I guess it's just rush hour." What else could he do to help this guy, he wondered. He doesn't know what his sister looks like, and he has his own problems concerning Arika.
Speaking of whom, his phone went off thanks to Arika calling him. "Arika, where are you...? Wait you're...? Well, I can't see you. Just give me a sign or some---hey, no need to be all snippy!" Taki watched the crowd as close as possible...
...and finally, there was a lack of people for the moment, allowing him to see Arika. Taki took the opportunity to hurry over to her. "For the record, that wasn't my fault."
"Well, you should've had a better grip on my arm," she argued.
Little did they knew, they actually helped the other separated duo find each other.

Arika Ozakifound Taki but is warned of Digimon
Pacing around, Arika managed to get Taki on the phone. "I'm on the other side of the human traffic, you dork...! A sign? What am I supposed to do, shoot flares or something?"
That boy does not have common sense in his mind. But anyways, Arika looked for an opening...and thankfully, the crowd died down for a moment, allowing her to see her friend near that green train trailer. "Taki!" And the boy hurried over to her, making a bit of an excuse. "Well, you should've had a better grip on my arm."
"Well, what was I supposed to do? Hold your hand?" he shuddered.
"What, are you still in the cootie phase? Oh grow up, Taki," she pouted, a little insulted that Taki wouldn't hold the hand of a beautiful lady such as herself. "Whatever. Let's get inside the station before we get caught in another human rapids."
"Ms. Arika, I sense two Digimon nearby."
"Huh?" Glancing at Nazz, in her bag, she looked around and saw no weird creatures. But she remembered how that winged cream Digimon was able to shapeshift into a human, which means anyone here could be a Digimon.

Blackjack nodded at the boy's observation but at some level wondered why the teen's partner hadn't ratted him out by now. Maybe the digimon he was sensing was a newborn and couldn't speak just yet. Either way he looked back out into the crowd while keeping an eye on the boy out of the corner of his eye as the teen seemed to be chatting with someone on the phone. When the boy mentioned something about showing a sign, Blackjack smirked despite the seriousness of the situation. Shame there were far too many people or Blackjack would of signaled his sister through use of one of his attacks even if it meant deactivating his holosuit to do so. Before he could think about it anymore Blackjack noticed that the boy was making his way to the other side of the crowd. He didn't know why but something was telling him that following the boy might lead to something. Maybe even his sister so who was he to ignore his intuition?
Meanwhile Harmony, while looking for her brother, was listening to the words the girl was saying to someone over the phone with a smirk on her face. Yes shooting flares would of been something to see but not all that practical in this crowd. Soon a boy who the girl called Taki came into sight but that was not all as her formerly missing roguish gambler of a brother came into sight. "Harmony!" Blackjack said his eyes lit up as he moved to hug his sister only to stop at the glare he received that clearly indicated he was in deep trouble and his arms settled awkwardly at his sides.
"Where were you? I was worried sick when I turned my back for a split second only for you to vanish in this crowd." Harmony asked her tone calm as her angry face faded to worry.
Blackjack looked at the ground before he said "Yeah I deserve to be chewed out but "Rush Hour" around here seemed to come on so suddenly and next thing I know I was swept away with it." This seemed to pacify Harmony as she now looked relieved instead of worried before she hugged her brother.
When a small female voice mentioned two digimon the diguised Cardmon twins pulled from their hug looking in Arika's direction. Looks like the jig was up.

Arika Ozakiis wondering if there's more out there.
She couldn't find any suspicious people within the moving crowd...except for those two who found each other. "...what, you mean you guys are...?" And she stopped herself, for not a good idea to say the forbidden word in public, not after what those other two warned them about. And these guys don't seem to have human partners with them...which can only mean...
"Wow! Does that mean that there're..." Looking around to make sure no one could hear her, "...Digimon living among us? Like in that movie where a bunch of government people makes sure the aliens behave on Earth, and erase people's minds with those pens?"
"That sounds so sus," Taki dryly commented.
"Hush!"
Nazz poked out of Arika's bag. "Are you heading to the Digital World too?"
"Nazz, get back in there," she anxiously hissed, pushing the raccoon head back in her bag.

Takiyo Hirotais now asking for directions.
"...wait, as in you guys can go around without human partners?" That just means that anyone in this city could be a Digimon, and who knows if any of them are evil. It just concerns him that Digimon could be independent of humans, meaning evil ones could easily walk among them. Well, not as bad as Arika going fangirl over the thought of Digimon living in the city.
Well, right now, they could use this to their advantage. These guys must know where they have to go to the Digital World. "Hey, if you guys are going to the Digital World, you mind showing us the way? We're new to this Digi-business." And oh yeah, they need to work on their manners. "I'm Taki, and the alien fan here is Arika."
And Arika bonked him on the head. "You stop being a jerk, Taki!"

Both Blackjack and Harmony blinked cluelessly at the clear Human World movie reference. They were basically giving off the vibes of lost tourists struggling to read a map to the point of it possibly looking comical to a casual observer. Blackjack scratched the back of his head trying to figure out how to respond before he said "Yeah. Most digimon in fact don't have human partners and in this world digimon only make up a minority of the population. Most digimon who come to the Digital World are what you humans would call tourists at most ferrying between the two worlds and sometimes attending school. Maybe some are even teachers. I'm not totally sure about that one."
Harmony as well as her brother looked over at Nazz as she asked if they were going to the Digital World and Harmony said "Why yes. My brother and I are heading back to the Digital World or we were before the sudden influx of people that is." When Taki introduced himself and the girl as Arika, Harmony said "Nice to meet all of you. My name is Harmony and the delightful rogue with me is my twin brother Blackjack."
"Or Jack in this world cause let's face it, Blackjack isn't exactly a human name so I just implemented an alias on the fly to avoid questions." Blackjack said before he asked "So what about your partners? What are their names?"

Takiyo Hirotais trying to come up with a name.
Wow, his assumption was actually right? Since when did this happen? Because that would make way too much sense. When he was in the fifth grade, his friends thought he was crazy, but he knew that his mean teacher had to be from Venus or something. But now, she could very well be a Digimon! All they need now is some government force that keeps Digimon under wraps. Huh...he could've recalled that girl mentioning some government group that might do that.
Blinking when he asked them their Digimon's names, "....uuuh, names? Well he's uhh...Koromon, is it?" he asked his Digimon in his bag...
...who growled at him.
Right, he doesn't like being in that form, and he can't talk while in that form. Glancing at Arika, "...are we supposed to give them names?"
She shrugged, "Well, I named her Nazz."
Ugh. He's not so good with names. "...I'm gonna have to pin a TBA on that one."

Arika Ozakiis set to head to the Digital World.
Hearing that, Arika gaped in total awe. Aliens living among them all this time? This was just...wow! It just changes her perspective on life, now. How long Digimon lived here? How many Digimon she met and never knew were Digimon? Gasp! Were her parents Digimon, or at least one of them? Was she part Digimon?! Oh my gosh, all these questions that'll keep her busy for hours!
"Whoa! Seriously? Wow, that is...!" She giggled with excitement...until Taki asked her a silly question. "...well, I named her Nazz." Glancing at the Digi-sibs, "That's my Digimon's name."
"Hello," Nazz greeted again.
Sighing, Taki dryly glanced at Arika, "Can we go before this conversation earn us some eavesdroppers?"
As much as she liked to tell Taki to shut up...he does have a point. It's too risky having this topic in public. "Right. Let's go find that way to...you know where."

Apparently Taki's partner digimon not only didn't have a name but was not in a particularly good mood judging by his growling. Perhaps Koromon wasn't to thrilled with having to hide in a backpack and for a digimon about as large as a soccer ball it made total sense. "Don't worry about the name for now. For all you know he could pick one for himself. Digimon do that sometimes as my sister and I are examples of such."
Taki's suggestion of taking the conversation elsewhere made sense to the twins as Blackjack scanned the crowd as if looking for an opening while Harmony said "Good idea. Who knows who might start listening in on us? At least the station isn't far from here so once we clear this crowd it should be smooth sailing."
"Speaking of which. Now!" Blackjack said as his hands closed firmly around Harmony's wrist before tugging his sister with her clumsily keeping up. She was still mastering walking in her holosuit but didn't look like a newborn giraffe trying to walk anymore at least. Hoping Taki and Arika would follow his lead he and Harmony dashed through the gap in the crowd safely crossing before stopping to wait with Blackjack releasing his twin.
