Tag or DM me on discord if you wanna join.Payback's a Beach!
Haru had been missing for 3 days now, and Natsu was beginning to get seriously concerned. Not that she hadn't been enjoying the peace and quiet, admittedly. It was nice that she wasn't around so that she and Gaomon wouldn't constantly be at each other's throats. But at the same time, she had an unsettling feeling.
One that would hopefully be alleviated with a delicious meal. "Here you go, Natsumi! Please enjoy!" Patty, the ever lovely goddess of burgers, set a tray of a large, juicy hamburger alongside crisp fries and glistening milkshake. She sucked back the saliva already building up in her mouth as her stomach rumbled in anticipation. She had been enjoying Patty's meals perhaps a little too frequently, so much that she was afraid to even get near a scale, but at this very moment, she didn't care.
Maybe Natsu didn't have to worry so much. Gabumon was with her, so she'd likely be fine, as far as safety went. And whatever Haru was scheming, having a full stomach was more important!
So naturally, Natsu's dear sister barged through the door as soon as Natsu lifted the succulent burger up to her mouth and took a bite of pure extasy on her tongue. "Sis! Patty! We gotta start planning for a trip to the beach!"
Her mouth full, Natsu just stared at her sister. Her large t-shirt was covered in a dark red liquid as Gabumon walked up behind her, the two of them looking filthy as the fur-coated lizard carried a pair of well-used shovels. Natsu eyed Haru for a good long while before she noticed. "Oh, what's on my shirt? Don't worry, it's not mine!"
That wasn't the issue here! But wait... did Haru mention... the beach?
"Oh, I haven't been to the beach in the Southern Tropics in ages!" Patty stated with her ever-present smile.
"Yeah, I heard you say that before!" Haru replied with a grin. "I wanted to find a way to thank you, for takin' care of me, Natsu, Gabumon, and everyone else, so I wanna treat you, Thog, and Mistral for being so good to us, you know?" There was a loud reverberating sound from within the Komondomon's domain, much like a dog's bark. "And I can't forget Buddy, too!"
"That sounds positively phenomenal!" Patty exclaimed, her eyes twinkling, even tearing up a little. "But you don't have to go so far! You've all been such a wonderful help, and you've all been such pleasant company!"
"Oh, it's not a matter of necessity, Miss Patty!" Gabumon insisted, though his words seemed a little... wooden. "We just want to remind you how grateful we all are!"
That was definitely recited. Which meant there was a scheme afoot. Natsu narrowed her eyes as she glared at the pair, while Patty giggled, blissfully unaware, and answered, "Well... how can I possibly say no after all that?"
"Then it's settled!" Haru confirmed. "In a few days we'll head to the beach!"
Natsu's eyes widened in horror as she came to a sudden realization. She had been enjoying Patty's cooking perhaps a little too much lately. And they were heading to the beach. Which meant... beachwear. Haru would most definitely want to wear matching swimsuits, and there wasn't a bashful bone in her body.
Natsu felt herself tearing up as she swallowed the one bite of Patty's burger she could allow herself. The last bite of Patty's delicious food for a long while. "Oh, sweet! Hey sis, you gonna eat those fries?"
Natsu let out a depressing sigh as she groaned, "No... Help yourself..."

Payback's a Beach!
So far, nothing disastrous had happened, and Haru's master plan was still on track. Natsu seemed pretty suspicious, and Haru was worried that Gabumon'd crack, but thankfully her sister seemed more concerned about starving herself for some reason. If she was worried about her weight Haru would have gladly taken one for the team and downed about 100 burgers so they'd match.
As for everyone else, everyone seemed either didn't care, or was Gaomon. "Take this! Winning... Knuckle!" The blue doggo shouted, flying at a floating Tailmon with his strongest punch. Which the pink kitty deftly avoided with little to no effort. Gaomon fell snout-first into kicking up a small cloud that promptly got blown away by a stream of air before they dared get close to the Tailmon's well-groomed fur.
"Isn't that your Ultimate-level move?" Haru asked the fallen doggo. "Are you seriously so pathetic that you're pretending to be a stronger version of yourself?"
"It's image training... not that a lazy brat like you'd know anything about that!" Gaomon growled back, pushing himself back up to his feet. The blue doggo traded his usual headband in place of swimming trunks which was, oddly enough, more clothes than he wore regularly. He pointed towards the floating Tailmon. "If I were MachGaogamon just now that punch would have connected! So today it's my win!"
"Brother... you've been saying that every day since we reached our Ultimate-level forms!" Gabumon chuckled as he snuggled the beach towel. The bashful lizard decided that he couldn't be seen without his fur, and in order to protect it from the elements he decided to cover his entire body.
"Yes. He has," Mistral confirmed, a twinge of irritation in her voice. "Shall we call upon your master so that we may see how deserving you are of your self-appointed victories?"
"Good idea!" Gaomon answered with an excited grin. He spun to face his tamer. "Natsu! Bring out your Digivice! I wanna spar at full strength!"
"Not a chance," Natsu immediately responded, her face sunken as she wobbled back and forth in place, looking like she barely had the energy to stay standing. "Now stop playing around and make yourself useful. We've got... orders to fill..." She gestured towards the makeshift food stand that Patty had set up. And the long line that accompanied it, the Burgamon preparing meals to the masses and passing them out in small wicker baskets.
"Remember, everyone!" The Burgamon warned. "Please return your trays after you're done eating! Littering is wrong, even more so when you're at the beach!"
"You set this whole trip just for Patty... and we're just doing the same thing we do everywhere else..." Natsu groaned as the wafts of food caused her stomach to growl. "And on such a nice day, too... hmm?" She looked around as if she had just noticed something for the first time.
A large chunk of the beach had been cordoned off by series of velvet ropes that may or may not have been "borrowed" from a nearby casino. And a Galgomon, a Revolmon, and WezenGammamon seemed forcefully insistent on making sure it stayed that way. A little further ways away, a large Komondomon was frolicking around in the sand while a group of smaller, younger Digimon were climbing around his body like he were a jungle gym.
"I expected this much," Haru answered, shrugging. "Besides, this isn't why I wanted to come here... My real plan hasn't been put into action just yet! We just need to wait just a little longer!"

...A lot had happened since the last time Miyako had went to a beach. Way too much, in fact. That was one of the first things that rang in mind for the albino as she adjusted her hat. For the people that knew her as the one who got -Mantis- of all people to listen to her, it was probably pretty odd that her closest ally was not present.
He hadn't been for the past few days, but...She was far from alone. "You know, didn't the old man get threatened at gunpoint to help build a sandcastle last time we were here?" Robin inquired, something that elicited a shrug from the other of the trio. Mantis' youngest, a Hawkmon. Nanashi didn't have a lot to say, given she saw it happen!
"Yes, but that's honestly what Sistermon do in general. Eat hot chip, explode, threaten you at gunpoint to help their sisters..."
"Wait, did you just say EXPLODE?" "Yeah, haven't you heard of the great Sistermon Explosion of 2015? I heard it was unavoidable."
"There's...no way that actually happened. You're kidding me." On this site. Yet the subject matter was enough to get Miyako to start snickering to herself. Of course, she stopped at a strange sight. Velvet ropes cordoning off a section of the beach? "Huh. Must be a special event! ...Why didn't I see any advertisements...?" It was, in all truths, a little suspect! But it was around lunch time and the girl had forgotten breakfast. At the very least she blended in with the few humans here, wearing a shirt and a swimsuit underneath.
Either way, she directed her friends to follow her towards the burger stand...To notice a massive line. "Holy..." "Damn, those must be some good burgers." Meanwhile, Miyako just looked dismayed. And in the most Mantis-esque fashion?
She hissed out three words in agony.
"Fuck my life."

Post by Kohaku & Ruri on Jun 29, 2022 3:03:56 GMT
Today was a special day for Kohaku and Ruri, as they had been invited by their best friend from school, Gem the Gammamon, to go to Whitewater City and go to the beach with him. For the Falcomon and Biyomon siblings, they were hesitant to go back to their original home city. All they could think of were the times they had with their grandfather whenever they thought of Whitewater. But Gem was as persistent as ever, and he did eventually manage to convince them to go with him to the beach. There was still one problem though: chaperones.
Adrian was still recovering from a major leg injury he had gotten weeks prior so he and Shoutmon had to stay in Rosewood, and Skye, Luneth and Rory were all too busy with their affairs to take them. Luckily, the day was saved when Luneth asked a favor to his best friend Kaya Matsui and her partner Hawkeye to go with the kids and watch over them, which Kaya happily accepted.
"I have a feeling you only accepted Luneth's request as an excuse to go swimming," Hawkeye said to his partner as she returned from swimming to their beach towel on the sand. Her now short and brown hair still wet from the ocean, along with the sky blue one-piece swimsuit she was currently wearing.
"It's been hot lately, I couldn't resist," Kaya said with a smile as she sat on the blanket next to her partner, who had been more preoccupied with his book than anything the kids were doing. "Besides, Luneth asked me for a favor, I couldn't say no... and his brother is just so dang cute!"
"You think every Digimon is cute."
"Gem's different, though... he has that spark that Shoutmon and Luneth have, you know?" Then she looked at the two avian siblings as they were swimming away from Gem during their game of water tag. "...I still worry about Kohaku and Ruri, as well."
"What do you mean?"
"They haven't had it very well. Their father's an asshole of a pirate, and they had to watch their grandfather be taken by the ExD virus. And with that Buraimon returning to Rosewood, he knows where they are. I just... we defeated him easily last time but I'm still scared of what he might do next. It must've been really hard for those, coming back to Whitewater like this."
"They wouldn't have accepted if they didn't feel like it was a good idea," Hawkeye said. "With a situation like the one those two are in, there's really nothing you can do except be there when they need you to be. They don't seem all too worried at this moment, so you shouldn't be either."
"Yeah... I guess you're right," Kaya said. A stomach growl sound could then be heard. Whether it came from Kaya's or Hawkeye's, one thing was clear for them. "It's almost lunchtime. I saw a place selling burgers on the way here. Sound good to you?"
Hawkeye nodded before getting up and calling out to the three kids. "Gem! Kohaku! Ruri! Come back here, we're all going to get lunch!"
"Lunchtime!" Gem cheered as he flew out of the water and over towards Kaya and Hawkeye.
"Alright, I'm starving!" Kohaku said as he and Ruri both followed Gem. Once the group of five met up, Kaya would put on her tie-die T-Shirt over her swimsuit and they headed over towards the burger stand... where all their jaws would collectively drop once they saw the huge line.
"Homeostasis..."
"This line wasn't that long half an hour ago!" Kaya said, utterly dumbfounded.
"Should we just go somewhere else...?" Ruri asked.
"But I'm hungry now..."
"So am I."
"You're more likely to starve to death by the time it's our turn to order," Hawkeye said as he rolled his eyes. What was the group going to do?

Payback's a Beach!
The line was getting longer and longer... more of a turnout than Haru had anticipated. But... things would still be good, right? She just needed to wait a little bit longer until... She looked over towards Buddy the big ol' Komondomon, as she noticed an Angoramon exit out of his back, give Haru a not-so-subtle thumbs up, while Haru nodded back. It seems things were all good over there. Maybe this wouldn't be a complete disaster!
However, this long line might prove to be a problem. She needed people to get their food as quickly as possible so her master scheme could finally be revealed! All of the cooking was down to Patty, but there had to be something that Haru could do, as well!
"Okay... Looks like I'm gonna have to step up..." But it wasn't like Haru could help out in the kitchen. That was Patty's domain, and she had barred Haru's entry from it ever since the Trinidad Scorpion incident. The fires had lasted 40 days and 40 nights, and while there had been no fatalities, many taste buds had been lost on that tragic day.
Even so, Haru had magic Tamer powers that totally let her screw with the laws of nature, with the help of randomly-assorted booster packs! "Digi-Modify! Lightning Implant... Activate!" She sliced the card through her Digivice's scanner, and Patty began to move in a blur! Somehow, this also meant that the Burgamon could prepare food three times as fast, even though that's not how cooking works. But hey, Digi-world and whatnot.
Still, it meant that the others would have to step up their game as well. She turned towards the starving sister of hers, barely able to stay standing, shaking her head. She wasn't sure Haru could trust her to hand out food without devouring it herself, or at least fainting from the aroma.
"Gabumon! Gaomon! Thog!" She called out, as Haru and the three beast Digimon worked to hand out meal after meal down the line, the Burgamon knowing exactly what meal they would most enjoy even if the customers themselves didn't. She was a Burgamon that had forsaken her own evolution in exchange for the ultimate power in the food service industry, after all!
"Here's your meal! Enjoy! There's your order! Enjoy! Hey Kaya, good to see you, love the new look! Enjoy! No pickles or onions! Enjoy! Triple cheese with extra mustard, right? Enjoy! Here's your meal! Enjoy!" Haru practically barked as she passed out tray after tray. The others did the same in their various ways. Thog was practically silent, Gabumon was more polite, and Gaomon was far less polite, as he passed the last trays off towards some white-haired human with a birb and bean accompanying her.
"Take your food and get out of the line already! Thank you for dining!" Gaomon yelled out in a rush.
"Hey, that's supposed to be my order!" A Gizamon that had gotten in line behind Miya and her companions protested in outrage. "That filthy human and her pet disgraces cut in front of me, so that should be my meal!"
But Gaomon couldn't be concerned with all that! By asking for his help, Haru had challenged Gaomon! He had to show the stupid human girl up by passing out more trays faster than she ever could... which was... something that she had wanted Gaomon to do in the first place!
"Dammit!" The doggo cried out in frustration! He had been tricked again!
"Hey, did you hear me, you dumb dog!? I said I-" There was someone yelling in Gaomon's ear or something...
"Shut uuuuuup!!!!" Blinded by rage, he reacted by uppercutting the Gizamon and sending him rolling down the beach and into the sea. He calmed down shortly after, looking confused. "Huh? Wasn't there someone else here just now?" |

Ah...Familiar voices. Miyako inclined her head to note that tamer and Hawkmon from that one day we don't talk about because it had like, 4 crimes against nature show up and slap ass. That one. Yep. That one.
And from her spot in line, she was able to notice that apparently, Lightning Implant was a very useful card for everything given it casually enabled ignoring the time it takes to cook burgers to perfection. Though...
"...Maybe that's just a Burgamon thing?" Nanashi hummed. "Wonder if I can use that to make whittling go faster..."
"Probably. Depends on how much the card messes with your perception on top of your overall speed..." Miyako said, seeming to sink into thought before she was snapped out of it by two things. One, an order from the blitz of burgers that had come, and two, an irate Gizamon that...
Had some nerve, actually! Neither Robin nor Nanashi were 'pets,' they were full fledged people! "Pets? PETS? Why, I oughta..." Miyako scowled, a sigil on her hand flaring for a moment. And then the Gaomon uppercutted the customer. It was kind of a whirlwind of emotions from the trio. Nanashi looked more than a little embarrassed at being put on the spot like that. "A-Ah...Hopefully he's..." She began...
"Dead, at worst." Robin concluded. "I hope he has literally every single inconvenience happen to him at once. Asshole. Who talks to a human like that? Much less a kid...Better yet, who talks to restaurant staff like that? You'd think people'd learn to be less entitled and be patient for service workers..."
Miyako just took a deep breath, exhaled and bowed her head to Gaomon. "I...got in line before that person did. I am so sorry that this happened, regardless..." She was a little more understanding of her Hawkmon companion's 'anxiety,' at least. So...With that in mind, the albino went to go find a spot to eat.
While preferably, it'd be away from people? That was impossible at the beach. Yet the spot chosen was close enough to the other people in the thread so as not to be too anti-social or hamper any possibilities of interaction. At the shore of it all, a Kotemon wearing a very peculiar set of clothing that the humans called a 'wetsuit' flip-flopped onto the shore with a sack full of...things.
"With these goods plundered from the depths...I..." A pause. "I feel at a loss." Mantis sighed. At least picking up garbage went fine...

As they were waiting in their spot in the overly long line, Kaya could see a very familiar someone using a D-Arc card to somehow speed up the time that the burgers would cook to perfection. Normally someone would question the logic on how this was possible, but this was the Digital World, where logic just tended to be thrown out the window. Besides, Kaya was more focused on who that card user was. "Haru...? Natsu...?"
The girl then called three beast Digimon out -- a Gaomon, a Gabumon and an Angoramon -- to come out and help serve the customers. Kaya and her group didn't even get the chance to order before Haru came down and gave the group their orders somehow, with Haru briefly commenting on Kaya's new hairstyle. "Haru, what are you- oh, she's gone..." Kaya muttered, staring down at the tray she had been given. Credit where credit was due... this WAS what she was going to order: a double cheeseburger with fries and a fruit punch drink.
"Well, this was unexpected," Hawkeye said as he looked down at his own food tray, which was fairly lite compared to the others' food dishes, consisting only of a hamburger with no cheese, lightly salted fries and a strawberry milkshake.
Gem's meal included two double cheese burgers, bacon cheese fries and a large chocolate shake, while Kohaku and Ruri's burgers looked like they belonged on the German "Pregnancy Craving Whopper" menu at Burger King, as there were cursed items on it like whole pickles, grape jelly and even ice cream and whipped cream. "Perfection...!"
"You guys eat some weird things sometimes," Gem commented, looking visibly confused and disgusted by what was on the siblings' burgers
"Come on, let's go find somewhere to sit," Kaya suggested, right before Gaomon gave the human, Hawkmon and Patamon group behind them their food. However, they all paused and watched as the Gizamon accused the Gaomon of giving them his order. Kaya felt her heart sink a bit when she heard the Gizamon call the human "filthy" and the Digimon with her being her "pets."
"The nerve of of that guy...!"
"Calm yourselves, everyone," Hawkeye calmly told his friends, despite feeling the exact same anger that they were feeling. It didn't matter in the end anyways; Gaomon ended up giving the Gizamon one hell of an uppercut, sending him flying down to the beach. Hawkeye then smiled at the group. "See? No reason to get involved."
"Let's go sit down," Ruri said as the group walked away to find a spot to sit.
Gem, however, couldn't help but stand there and watch, not sure what to make of what he just witnessed. He had always been taught by his parents and Mr. Owen that humans and Digimon were supposed to get along, that Digimon were not meant to be pets or slaves to humans, or the other way around. Why was the Gizamon acting like this? Was he just cranky because he was hungry? He hoped that was the case... if there were actually Digimon that felt like that towards humans...
"Hey, Gem, are you coming or what?"
"R-Right! Coming!" the Gammamon announced to his friends as he hurried over to join them in finding somewhere to sit with their lunch.

Payback's a Beach!
Before they moved to find some place to eat, Gaomon blinked in confusion for a second as he was being thanked for something. "Huh? Oh... Okay..." He wasn't sure what was going on. There was someone yelling in his ear while he was in a rush, and he was feeling kind of pissed off, so he just punched whoever it was that was annoying him. Probably not the healthiest option, but men need to communicate with his fists from time to time.
But letting some rando racist ruin a trip to the beach would be letting the racists win, so the festivities continued! Eventually, Patty's super-fast efforts were rewarded as the line began to die out.
"Alright!" The Burgamon cheered as Gaomon, Gabumon, Haru, and Thog returned from their deliveries. "I should be able to handle the rest of the orders now, so you four should go out and enjoy yourselves! This is the beach, so go out and have fun!" She grabbed a few trays, handing them to the four and flipping burgers onto them with keen accuracy that no Hawkmon could ever match - so long as it was simply throwing burgers.
And the four went their separate ways. Haru called over Mistral to speak in private, while Gabumon and Gaomon went to find their own place to eat, next to the white girl Gaomon had apparently helped earlier.
"Hello! I'm Gabumon, and this is Gaomon, my brother! We hope that everything's alright after that Digimon from earlier was being a nuisance, and we'd like to apologize if my brother acted a bit too violent!"
"Huh? What's that mean?" Gaomon asked, as if punching the person annoying you wasn't the appropriate thing to do.
Meanwhile, Thog had approached the starving Fujisaki with a tray covered in a small mountain of burgers. He pat the girl on her head and said, "Food is life. No food, and you become weak. The weak become food for the strong, but food that has starved does not make good food. Not eating makes you weak in life, and when you die, it does not help those still living to become strong. It is only ever a waste."
Natsu stared at the Angoramon's rather morbid statement with raised eyebrows, and opened her mouth to speak, only for the large bunny Digimon to shove a hamburger into her open talky-hole. Then, Thog casually lifted the girl up by her waist with one hand, carried her over towards Kaya and the kids, and sat her down, setting down his mountain of burgers down in front of him.
"Food is best eaten with others," He said, grabbing three burgers with a single scoop of his hand, crushing them together with his grip, and stuffing the greasy mess into his mouth.
But we couldn't leave Mantis out, either, right? And while the writer was running out of characters to interact with, there was still one, precious boi who came splashing towards the trash-gathering Kotemon! Buddy the Komondomon gave Mantis a knowing, grateful nod, and stated, in all of his sagely wisdom, "Buh."

Even from where they sat, Nanashi could note there was an insane accuracy to the Burgamon's routine--again, most likely a Burgamon thing but it was interesting, given she was an individual focused more on finesse and precision with a sword rather than...you know. Ranged weapons.
Miyako looked up from her burger (that was basically a Baconator from Wendy's--the best Hamburger, bar none, fucking fight me) to Gaomon and Gabumon. "A-Ah, uh...It's okay. I was more upset that my friends were referred to as pets--they're...not my partners, they just hang around me for their own reasons...Honestly, it's better that it was resolved. I don't want to end up causing problems or anything."
"Regardless of how violent the gesture was--it's appreciated. Miyako-dono's...just got an issue with being put on the spot like that. I believe it's called 'anxiety.' Many suffer it. My name's Nanashi and this simp's Robin." "Hey!" "It's very nice to meet you." Nobody was going to comment on Gaomon not knowing what violence was. Naturally, it was probably something he'd understand in time! Maybe.
Meanwhile, with the trashmon, he noticed very quickly he had company--and also sighted his human over a ways away. Of course, Mantis being Mantis, figured it'd be nice to talk to the Komondomon. "Ah...It's no problem. Just a relic facing the consequences of being a little anti-social is all." The Kotemon made the brave attempt of petting Buddy. He figured this precious doeg deserved such.

Hawkeye was impressed by the Burgamon's accuracy as he watched her flip burgers onto the trays of the familiar looking twins and their Digimon partners respectively. He supposed that she had simply been doing this of this caliber for a long time, being a Burgamon and all. He thought to himself that maybe he'd like to have a competition with her at some point: who has the most accuracy with their abilities?
The group had found a place to sit and eat their lunch before two more had joined the group: one of the twins from earlier, Natsu, with a burger casually shoved into her mouth, and her Angoramon companion, who had set a mountain of burgers on the table before eating three of them at once. Kohaku, Ruri, Gem, Kaya and Hawkeye all stared with a look of pure confusion on their faces. "Er... hey, Natsu," Kohaku eventually said. "Is this big giant a friend of yours?"
"I didn't expect to see you or Haru here, Natsu," Kaya said. "Are you both working at this burger stand or something? That Burgamon is really good... she made our orders like she read our minds or something."
"It was really cool," Ruri added with a smile, "they even made our burgers special request! See?"
Meanwhile Gem was just staring at Natsu as if he was trying to piece something together in his little brain of his. Eventually, he decided to speak up and ask Natsu an important question: "Are you a clone, ma'am?"
A record scratch could practically be heard as Kaya and the others turned and stared at the innocent little Gammamon, completely taken aback by the question... before they all just started laughing wildly, confusing Gem even more. Why were they all laughing at him? He was asking a genuine question, dang it! The Gammamon made a frowning face as he puffed his cheeks up while they laughed at him.
Hawkeye coughed a bit into his wing to stop himself from laughing before it was his turn to speak up. "Natsu, I believe you recall Kohaku and Ruri, yes? This Gammamon here is Gem, Luneth's little brother. Kaya and I agreed to watch over him, Kohaku and Ruri today while they were at the beach."
With pleasantries out of the way, the group could finally start digging into their burgers. They all made a collective first bite of their sandwiches, and it didn't take long before their eyes were practically forming into anime hearts. These burgers tasted heavenly! "So good...!"
"I've never had a burger as wonderful as this... Burgamons are something else entirely!"

Gabumon nodded as Gaomon grunted, perhaps a little awkward. He wasn't used to being thanked for getting and punching someone on impulse, so the pupper was a bit bashful at the moment. Gabumon smiled and laughed as he said, "Well, I don't think anyone causing any problems is here anymore, so that's one less thing to worry about, Miss Miyako-dono, was it?" Gabumon glanced off to the side, towards Haru and Mistral. He gave the pair a nod. "Brother, there's something I need to take care of right now, but could you please keep entertaining them?" Without even waiting for Gaomon to answer the towel-over-fur-covered lizard rushed off back towards his partner.
"Huh? Uh... Okay..." Gaomon turned towards the trio and a complete loss. "So..." He blanked as he had already forgotten their names. Gaomon identified most people by their scent, so names had never been worth remembering. "...You get anxious and stuff. That must suck. You should like... do a whole bunch of stuff to make you nervous or something. Then you'll get so strong you'll never get anxious again!"
Meanwhile, while the neanderthal doggo had so obviously solved every mental disorder in the history ever, said doggo's partner, along with a large bunny Digimon, squirmed nervously in place. So many familiar faces all at once, and an unholy, wretched, abominable triceratops that the author despises, but that the author's character has no reason to show such bias.
Kohaku inquired about the Angoramon, and he swallowed the mouthful of food in his mouth, then without looking at anything other than his food, he stated, "Thog," before stoically continuing his meal.
"It's so good to see all of you here!" Natsu stated with a smile, then towards the little guy. "And it's a pleasure to meet you, Gem! I'm Natsu!" She chuckled a little before shaking her head. "Actually, that's Haru, my twin sister! We were born at the same time, and just happen to look alike!"
She smiled as she decided to play a little game. "Say Gem, can you figure out three ways how to tell my sister and I apart? You have to look carefully, okay?"
And as for meeting ordained by fate between Buddy and Mantis, the Komondomon most definitely accepted any and all pets. It was the just reward for being a good boi, after all. But Mantis was being a good boy as well, so the big doggo lifted a hefty paw and similarly patted the Kotemon right back. "Buh-buh."
He would then follow the Digimon around, simply because he had nothing better to do. After all, Buddy was a good boi, so long as he was still in the vicinity when Haru needed access to all those weapons that Thog had unpacked inside of Buddy's dimensional space without Patty's knowledge!

There was an immediate sigh of relief from Miyako at the notion of no troublemakers being present anymore. A weight lifted from her shoulders. "That's good. That's good..." The albino trailed off as Gabumon promptly went off to go...do something else. That was okay. Of course, Gaomon had provided an interesting quandary of sorts.
Why not just get anxious on purpose to beat anxiety?
"I would, if it made any sense, it just...doesn't." Miyako admitted. "Nanashi's way better about keeping that in check though. It's insane!" There was a gesture made towards the Hawkmon, who then shrugged."I am simply 'built different,' as you would put it."
Robin, of course, still had to interject. "Well, given Mister Mantis says he's going to cut anxiety in half, I guess we just gotta join him to solve mental illness! ...Problem is, I dunno where he is."
We're now going to use this next part to talk about where Mantis was. Honestly, it was a climactic meeting with Buddy, and the fact Buddy was fearless enough to pat Mantis back seemed to endear the Kotemon to the doggo.
"Sure. We go together." The Wetsuit Wearing Warrior began to plop off to go set the sack of trash down at the area designated for data recycling. Something that'd take literally a minute. With that done, the self proclaimed relic found himself wandering around further, before...Oh, there was Miyako.
And a Gaomon. There were other faces and signals he recognized--the girl and the other Hawkmon from that day with the war crimes. "...I temper my expectations..." And he immediately walked over to sit with his group. "Did I miss much? I think I saw a line while I was finishing garbage collecting..."

Kohaku had to admit, even for someone with broken taste buds like him, he was kind of uneasy watching "Thog" eat the way he was. Sure, Angoramons had big hands, but did he really have to shove handfuls of burgers into his mouth like that? Watching Thog eating made the Falcomon feel a bit sick, so he just opted to ignore the large bunny for now and focus on his own food.
"Well, it's, er... nice to meet you, Thog," Ruri nervously replied back. She wasn't disgusted by his eating like Kohaku was... she was simply intimidated by his massive size. A big Digimon like Thog could make Ruri into Biyomon pancakes like it was nothing!
Natsu then introduced herself to Gem before explaining that she and her sister Haru were twins, meaning that they were born at the same time and happened to look alike. "Ohhhh, twins! Digimon can be twins, too!" Gem excitedly said. "But they don't look the same like you..."
Natsu then asked the little Gammamon if he could figure out at least three differences between Haru and Natsu. He crossed his arms and looked back and forth between Haru and Natsu. "Different hair..." Gem said, an easy one to get down. "Swimsuit color..." Another easy one, if the picture in Haru and Natsu's author's post template is accurate. "And..." Oh shoot, he was stumped on this last one!
"I can practically see smoke coming from his head," Hawkeye commented.
"Third one's easy; you're taller than your sister."
"Not to mention slimmer."
"...how the heck can the two of you tell?!" Kaya asked Kohaku and Hawkeye, completely taken aback by that observation. To everyone else, they were practically the same height!
"You need good eyesight to have the amount of accuracy with shooting feathers that I do," Hawkeye said in a humble yet explanatory manner.
"And my ninja training involves me learning to catch the smaller details that other humans and Digimon miss," Kohaku said in a bragging tone. "Anyways, I noticed that your sister and friends seem to be just kinda... doing something. Any idea what that's all about? Some kinda special event or somethin'?"

Payback's a Beach!
Gaomon shook his head as he tried to explain himself, which was pretty badly, considering he wasn't much of a talker. "But like... getting used to the way you feel and stuff... and..." he started swinging in the air in front of him. "So say you're really scared to fight, and your hands shake! You can't stop being scared, cause that's like, emotions and stuff, and your hands are all shaky and stuff! What do you do?"
He started dancing from side to side, floating like a butterflymon that would presumably sting like a fanbeemon. "But if you're scared you're really good at running away at stuff! So you dodge a bunch, then you start thinking, 'wow this guy can't land a punch, they must be really weak!' and then you stop being scared and clobber your opponent as much as you want!" The Gaomon began so swing wildly, perhaps getting a little too excited as the force of his punches sent air flying towards hair, fur, and feathers alike.
Thog seemed entirely unconcerned with anyone else's disgust for his eating habits. He had just finished maintenance for a large number of weapons at Haru's request, and hadn't eaten for the better part of an hour. And ravenous as he was he couldn't care less about anything else other than food. Besides, judging others in their distinct eating tendencies was one of the worst crimes you could possibly commit... at least Thog thought so.
And while Gem began to overheat playing "spot the difference", Natsu nodded along as the birbs both chimed in, Natsu performing the most subtle of fist pumps upon mentioned being slimmer. She probably had some issues to work out. Instead of thinking about that stuff, she patted the little dino boi on the head in comfort. "That's okay, Gem! Two out of three isn't bad! And maybe you can spot more differences between us later on!"
Kohaku inquired as to what her sister was scheming, but Natsu just shook her head. "I honestly wasn't involved very much. She said she wanted to set up some special event for Patty and her restaurant, and she's... honestly I've never seen her work so hard towards something before. She must have had a lot of fun setting this up, so..." She wasn't sure if she should tell the group to "be excited" or to "be scared". She looked back over towards her sister, who was still chatting with Gabumon and Mistral.
She couldn't tell what was being said among them, but the Tailmon most definitely seemed annoyed, and Natsu could feel the bloodlust emanating from the pink-furred kitty. The cat honestly terrified Natsu, but her sister seemed nonplussed about whatever it was that riled the Tailmon up. Natsu turned back towards the group and settled with, "...well, it's Haru's scheme, so... just be prepared."
Meanwhile, back to Miya and her gang, Gaomon had calmed himself down as Mantis and Buddy had entered stage left and was part of the conversation now. The two doggos gave a casual nod to each other while Gaomon answered Mantis's question. "There's a line for burgers. They're good, but..." He pointed towards a human girl talking with Gabumon and a floating Tailmon. "That human over there... the evil witch with the super punchable face and the green underwear..." The doggo mon hadn't quite gotten down the human beach attire yet.
"She's plotting something..." Coming here was her idea, and things had a habit of going wrong for everyone else but her. Or at least went wrong for Gaomon. And the fact that she was partners with his little brother meant that he couldn't just beat the human senseless, which was doubly annoying. Big bros don't make their little bros cry.
And Gaomon and Natsu's fears would be realized as Gabumon had pulled out an infinistore cube, which Haru then pulled out a megaphone as she began to address the large beach gathering.
"Excuse me, everyone! May I have your attention for a few moments?"
