Halloween Mayhem (Johan, Shi, LJ)

Post by Hanako Hoshidate on Oct 30, 2022 4:52:40 GMT
October 30th, 2022 As the clock struck midnight, signalling the transition from October 29th to the 30th, all seemed quiet in Scramble Crossing at this time of night (Well, as quiet as a public square can get, anyways). There were some Halloween-related advertisements shown on the digital billboards, but other than that there was still very little sign of the Halloween spirit that would make itself known the next night. However, only someone who with exceptional observation skills would be able to notice the glow of a magic circle manifesting on the rooftop of a nearby scyscraper. The Magic Circle would open directly into a portal, from which a pair of figures would emerge: a Witchmon and a Sorcerimon. The Witchmon would nudge the Sorcerimon's shoulder as she tried to get his attention. "You see, brother? I told you Shibuya would be a great place to experience the wonders of Halloween!""Indeed. I am curious about this 'Halloween' experience. Hopefully, this will be an enjoyable experience." The Sorcerimon optimistically replied. The ice wizard did enjoy trying new things, so he had high hopes for tonight."Oh, trust me, Damien. This'll be a night to remember! Costumes! Candy! Mischief! This holiday has it all!" Witchmon exclaimed, gesturing down towards the streets below as she looked out over the edge of the rooftop. However, the Witchmon's smile slowly faded into as she took a good, long look at the streets below. "Hey, what gives? Where are all the costumes?! Where's the candy?!" The lack of visible Halloween festivities caused the witch to start throwing a minor tantrum, waving her arms angrily as she started ranting angrily. "Oh, come on! I know I got the right time of year, so why isn't anyone celebrating?!" However, the Witchmon's angry scowl shifted into a sinister grin as a particularly miscievous idea popped into her head. " Well, fine then. If nobody's gonna celebrate Halloween, the nI'll just have to spread the Halloween Spirit myself with some good ol' trick or treating. Emphasis on 'trick'! Ehehehe!"
With that declaration, the Witchmon hopped on her broom and flew off to cause trouble while cackling maniacally, a sight that caused Damien to visibly sweatdrop.
"Oh, dear. Why must you always have to cause trouble, Lilith?" The Sorcerimon quietly asked himself. Unlike his sister, Damien lacked the ability to fly with magic, so he had to resort to more mundane means of getting down from the rooftops (a.k.a climbing down the fire escape) so that he could try and stop his sister from doing anything too drastic.

It wasn't an uncommon thing for Johan Walker to be working on something this late into the night, foregoing any resemblance of the word "sleep" until at least four in the morning, sometimes five. Tonight, it was honing the sensor system to deliver less false positive signals. Halloween was a day away, and the amount of false positive Digimon sightings on that day alone was staggering, so Johan offered to help modify it to alleviate that problem.
Dokamon was sleeping peacefully on Johan's bed while Johan himself was modifying the sensor system. He had to be really careful as he still remembered the incident where he was tampering with the security system and caused all the alarms at once... it was not fun explaining that to Sophie. At least now, Sophie gave his blessing to Johan to work on this project, so that's what he was focused on for the meantime.
But even around now, Johan was feeling the lure of sleep overcoming him. He tried shaking his head since he knew he was almost finished, and he could probably finish within the next hour. Or at least, that's what he thought at first. Alas, the busy day of school followed by AEGIS work followed by even more project work as beginning to take its toll on Johan, and it was clear that he wasn't going to be able to go on for much longer.
Eventually, anyone willing to enter his room around that time would find the poor teenage man lying on the ground, having fallen off his chair and proceeded to fall asleep right there on the bedroom floor. Hopefully he and Dokamon would both be able to wake up when the Witchmon eventually starts pulling her tricks...

"C'mon Shi, step in time. One and two and one and two!" The quick brown-haired teenager called out to his friend as he ran forward, sprinting ahead towards the crossing. He was in a pretty decently warm coat at the moment rather than his usual short sleeved one. Stopping for a moment he turned around to see his companion Shi. Currently with his hands on his knees breathing heavily staring at the floor, panting very quickly as he tried to get his breath back. "Shi we've barely gone half a block I mean come on dude." Daichi was now super worried as he went over patting Shi on the back.
"Yeah, Half, A block too many. I don't know how you do this sorta thing." Slapping his knee Shi stood up fully stretching his arms out for a moment. "Why are we doing this so late anyway? It's the middle of the night?" Shi knew Daichi was crazy about running but this was pretty nuts.
"Well I tried to get you to come this morning, but you were asleep for like, half the day, your mom says your internal clock has been all messed up cause of that digital world nonsense anyway so I figured this would be fine for you. Get yourself tired so you can actually sleep at a normalish time." Daichi responded patting Shi on the chest. "Besides, you could do with some exercise Shi, it's good for you. Don't worry I'll get you in tip top shape." However seeing that Shi was currently dying at the moment Daichi bent down laughing a bit. "Ok, Ok. Small break then we'll get onto the way home alright?"
Shi nodded before the two of them took a small break, continently next to a fire escape that a certain digimon might be climbing down. Regardless if the DM wanted that to happen or not, now Shi and Daichi were just talking about Halloween for the moment, considering it was coming up tomorrow.

LJ was walking the streets unaware of the plans of a certain Witchmon. The disguised Leomon X was enjoying the occasional Halloween decoration hanging in windows or just outside of the various buildings. As the clock struck midnight the young magical ninja thought nothing of it. After all Halloween was tomorrow night which made him think of taking his siblings trick or treating if they weren't busy.
LJ's thoughts were disrupted by the sight of something flying off a rooftop but he couldn't get a good look at it from where he was. On the same rooftop a familiar silhouette resembling a certain wizard digimon caught his eye. 'Dad?' LJ thought as he squinted hoping to get a better look at the figure that was making his way down the roof via fire escape. If this was his dad then why didn't he turn into a bird to follow the other figure. 'And if that is even Dad then where is Pops?' LJ also thought not ready to voice his concerns out loud as there seemed to be humans near where the wizard was heading down the fire escape.
LJ made his way over to where Shi and Daichi were standing and asked "Hey there. What brings you guys out at this hour? Are you out looking at the decorations too?"

As Lilith the Witchmon flew around on her broom, she came to the realization that spreading the Halloween spirit around this city would be a bit much for her to handle on her own. If she's gonna be doing this, she's gonna need some help. Luckily she knew just who to call. Not wanting to draw too much attention quite yet, Lillith landed her broom into a nearby alley for privacy, then pulled a piece of chalk out of her sleeve and started drawing a summoning circle on the ground. "Chernik Chernika. Chernik Chernika. Magia Gate!" Lilith began chanting after she finished the summoning circle. The incantation caused the chalk lines to glow a brilliant white. The Witchmon's face grew wider and wider as the magic circle turned into a circular portal, from which multiple shapes started to emerge. This wide grin turned into wicked cackling as a quartet of summoned Digimon stood before her: a Pumpkinmon, a tarantula-sized KoDokugumon, and a pair of DemiDevimons. "Now, my loyal familiars, I have called you here for a noble purpose!" Lilith explained, broom firmly in hand as she marched back in forth in front of her followers. "This poor city is severely lacking in Halloween spirit on this most frightful of nights. Therefore, we must show them the true spirit of Halloween!" "It's the Spooky Month?! Hooray!" Pumpkinmon cheered, as he did a silly little dance in celebration. "Does this mean we get to go trick or treating, Miss Lilith?""Yes, Pump. There will be trick or treating involved, which means you get to keep any candy you get." Lilith replied, which earned a delighted cheer from the Pumpkinmon. "Now, here's how we're gonna do this..." Lilith continued, as the Witchmon told her plans to her subordinates. Ding-dong.Mr. Mashida had no idea who could possibly be ringing his doorbell at this time of night, and was rather confused when he saw Pumpkinmon outside his door. "Trick or treat!" Pumpkinmon cheerfully exclaimed, holding out an empty pillowcase towards the man. "I'm sorry, but I don't have any candy for you, little fella." Mr. Mashida apologized, not sure why this kid was trying to trick or treat at this time. That sort of thing wasn't very big in Japan, not to mention that Halloween was tomorrow night. " Well, if you don't have any treats, then I guess I'm gonna have to trick you!" Pumpkinmon replied, slightly disappointed. The pumpkin Digimon then pulled out the KoDokugumon and tossed the spider Digimon onto the guy's face. The older man understandably freaked out and pulled the spider off of his face and tossed it out the door before slamming it shut in a panic. That hilarious freakout caused Pumpkinmon to giggle as he picked up KoDokugumon and continued on his way to the next house. This cycle would repeat itself quite a bit, with most of the people who answered the door getting spooked by KoDukogumon or firecrackers when they ineveitably didn't give Pumpkinmon any treats (except for a nice, old lady who gave him a candy apple).
Witchmon: - Magia Gate: Witchmon conjures a magic circle that functions a a portal, which Witchmon can use to avoid an incoming attack (piercing attacks interrupt the spell). This spell can be used for fast travel outside of combat, and can be used to transport multiple individuals if the magic circle is hand drawn onto a physical surface. 2 post CD. (0/2)

"Johan? Johan? Hey, Johan, you gotta wake up."
Johan groaned slightly as he slowly opened up his eyes, as he could hear some kind of voice calling his name and asking him to wake up. That was when he found that he was actually on the floor, with a slightly confused AppHackmon looking down at him. "Why the heck are you sleeping on the floor?"
"...Zero?" Johan asked in a very sleepy voice. He tried thinking back to what he was doing... yeah, he was upgrading the Digimon sensors, and he was almost done... he must've just fallen asleep in the middle of his work, he thought. But it was clearly still dark outside, given that it was still night time when he looked towards the direction of his window. "What time is it?"
"That's not important," Zero said. "We have a yellow alert situation. Multiple Champion level Bandits are in Shibuya, and given the amount of reports of certain kids going 'trick or treating' early, we gotta assume they're up to no good."
"Ugh, you've got to be kidding me," Johan groaned as he picked himself up. This was a big reason why he hated Halloween right here, humans and Digimon alike just don't know their boundaries. "I'm gonna get dressed real quick. Wake Dokamon up, would you please, Zero?"
"Sure, assuming he won't punch me for booting him up."
"You know he's not like that, stop being over-dramatic."
Once Dokamon had been woken up and Johan had been dressed in his AEGIS outfit with a dark grey trench coat worn over it, he and his Digimon companions (inside the V-Pet) would head to Scramble Crossing to investigate. Despite the couple of Halloween decorations and advertisements around, nothing about it really screamed "Halloween!" to Johan. He yawned as he walked through the streets, since he still hadn't gotten a good amount of sleep yet. "Let's get this over with relatively fast," Johan said as he pulled his Digivice out, holding it up to his ear like a phone as he looked around. "Zero, hack into the Scramble Crossing security camera system and see if you can find anything."
"On it," Zero announced as he did his thing within the V-Pet. "...okay, this is weird. I'm seeing what looks like a Pumpmon going trick or treating... then scaring the home owners when I assume they aren't giving him any candy."
"I was under the assumption that Halloween was on the 31st. Today is the 30th. This does not make any logical sense."
"Maybe they got the date wrong. Whatever the case may be, we need to find this Pumpmon and find out what's really going on. Can you give me his general location, Zero?"
"Shouldn't be a problem at all. In fact, he's actually close by. You could catch up with him now, if you try."
Given the general location of the Pumpmon's last sighting, Johan would immediately make his way over there, passing by three citizens (Shi, Daichi and LJ) who for some reason were also up this late at night. He was hoping this could be resolved fast and without fighting so that they could all just go back to sleep...

As Shi and Daichi's conversation started teetering out and they got ready to start moving they were approached by some kid asking what they were doing. "I suppose so, We're mostly out here for a bit of a midnight jog. Make sure this guy will be awake enough to take his sister out tomorrow." Daichi pointed over to Shi who just gave a small nod in response. "So, out for the same. It is quite nice to, see. Huh." Daichi was interrupted by his phone ringing. Reaching into his pocket he quickly answered to hear his mom sounding a bit panicked.
"Daichi you need to be careful coming home, some kid threw a spider at your dad's face. Some children are out pulling pranks before Halloween. Just watch out ok?" Daichi quickly agreed before hanging his phone up.
"Sheesh, what's wrong with some kids. I know it's Trick or Treat but sometimes they go too far with the trick." Putting his phone away Daichi turned back to LJ and Shi. "Sorry about that just some kids pulling a prank or someth- huh."
Now it was Shi's phone's turn to buzz, pulling it out he saw what seemed to be a text from his mom, it was a picture she had taken with her phone of a small little.... Wait was that a digimon? 'Hey son quick question, is this a digimon or just some kid?' the text was quickly followed up as Shi quickly just put a nodding emoji as he stood up fully, almost bumping into some teen going back towards the residential district.
"Daichi we gotta move, digimon trouble." Shi said motioning for the teen to follow. Waving bye to the stranger for a moment as he made his way over to where his mom was....
Though Daichi being the star runner of the track team he was saw the picture then immediately blasted pass Shi towards the destination and despite the head start would soon pass by Johan as well. Alright well he goes on ahead while Shi rushes behind him.
Shi's mom quickly saw her son's reply and flipped her phone down. Letting out a sigh she pulled her glasses up and rubber her eyes for a moment before walking over towards the digimon. She had her lab coat on still from work and was just getting home after working a bit overtime.
Getting closer to the digimon she'd whistle to get his attention before waving them down. "Hey, I know it's the dead of night and all but didn't think you digimon would be wandering around like this... What are you even doing?" While her voice was monotone she did just sound curious, they were coming near her house and all so best at least try and question what was going on.
Little did she know the actual danger she was in, this being an Ultimate level digimon and all but considering their size she didn't feel that threatened at the moment.

After someone passed them LJ was informed that Shi and Daichi were out and about for seemingly the same thing. LJ was getting vibes from Shi that felt familiar but it was faint. Had he met this person when he was a baby. If so then that could explain why Shi felt vaguely familiar. Shaking his head he decided not to worry about it. Then one of the pair's phone started ringing. As Daichi answered LJ could faintly hear the voice on the other end of the phone. When Daichi hung up it was explained that there were kids pulling pranks. "Huh.. I thought Halloween was tomorrow." LJ said voicing his concerns. Then Shi's phone buzzed and there seemed to be a text message from someone he knew out of the corner of his eye he saw a picture of a digimon. So that explained the trouble.
Apparently the two he met knew about digimon and waved bye before sprinting away. LJ then took off following soon catching up with Daichi and said "You guys mentioned digimon. I can help you guys being a digimon myself. We need to try to stop these digimon before innocent people get hurt."

While Pumpkinmon was out trick-or-treating with KoDokugumon, Lilith's command for the two DemiDevimons was pretty simple: go out and play Halloween pranks on people without actually hurting them.
The two demonic bats took to this task with gusto, dressing up as floating bedsheet ghosts and stealing party supplies for their shenanigans. The two bats would go around pulling all sorts of silly pranks across the city. Dumping water buckets on people from above, toilet papering houses and cars, spraying people with silly string, etc. These two just kept going around, being a pair of general nuisances underneath their "ghostly" disguises.
While the two bats did their merry mischief, Lilith herself was brainstomring ideas on how to help spread the Halloween spirit. there was only so much the five of them could do on their own without support, after all.
Meanwhile, Pumpkinmon's trick-or-treating had come to a temporary pause as Shi's mom actually asked the piumpkin Digimon what he was doing out at this hour. This question made Pumpkinmon tilt his head in confusion, as he thought his actions would be totally obvious. "I'm trick-or-treating! That's what you're supposed to do on Halloween. If you don't give me a treat, then I'll have to trick you!."
In all honesty, Shi's mom wasn't in any real danger. Pump the Pumpkinmon may be an Ultimate-level Digimon, but he was a pretty gentle soul. Even if he didn't get his treat, his tricks were pretty tame (only really startling people and not hurting them). As long as nobody actively provoked him, Pump wouldn't cause any serious trouble.
For now? He's just patiently standing there, waiting to see what Shi's mom was going to do. She hadn't officially refused to give him a treat yet, after all.
As for Damien the Sorcerimon? After he finally managed to climb down the fire escape the wizard would go around and sneak through the various alleys, trying to stay out of sight as he tried finding his sister to keep her from going overboard like she usually tended to do. Not that he really needed to be very stealthy at the moment, since Shi, Daichi, and LJ had left to go after Pump.
To help his search, Damien used his Animal Communion spell to connect with a flock of pigeons to act as his eyes in the skies, with both the wizard and the birds having their eyes glow cyan as a side effect of the link. It wasn't a prefect solution, but it was a start, at least. Witchmon: -Magia Gate: Witchmon conjures a magic circle that functions a a portal, which Witchmon can use to avoid an incoming attack (piercing attacks interrupt the spell). This spell can be used for fast travel outside of combat, and can be used to transport multiple individuals if the magic circle is hand drawn onto a physical surface. 2 post CD. (1/2)
Sorcerimon: -Animal Communion (passive): Sorcerimon is able to use magic in order to communicate and command ordinary animals. He doesn't use this in battle often but can use it to command a horde of animals to attack his opponent, similar to a 0-CD named attack.

"Hey, uh, Johan, are you doing alright?" Zero asked the human as he headed towards Pumpmon's location. "You don't really seem to be your more nerdy self today. You're acting more like Dokamon or Commandramon, honestly. What's up with that?"
"I just don't care for Halloween, is all," Johan responded, not wanting to go into too much depth about it at the moment. "Plus anyone would be ticked off if their sleep was interrupted like mine was."
"Even when sleep deprived, this is abnormal behavior for you, Johan," Dokamon spoke up.
"Yeah, the robot's right for once. I can tell when someone's just giving surface-level reasons for things, especially when they're BS. Halloween's really fun, why don't you like it?"
"Can we just focus on the bandit for now, please?" Johan asked, growing more and more ticked off. That's when he noticed the three other guys from earlier now catching up with him, seemingly headed towards the same place. He was about to go tell them to sod off when one of them mentioned being a Digimon in a holosuit themselves so casually. "Are you three Chosen? Small world... I'm Agent Johan Walker of AEGIS. I'm here to make sure that this isn't more than just some Halloween prank. I'd recommend you lot be careful."
It would be around this time that the group would finally reach Shi's house. There, he saw the Pumpmon standing outside of the front door with an older woman, who seemed to be the owner of the house. Now, Johan knew how powerful Pumpmon could be, despite how he looks much like a Rookie level. But from his perspective... it looked like he was just trick-or-treating? That couldn't be right, could it? There was still at least twenty-two hours left until Halloween was even technically here.
Johan would handle this professionally, however. As the others would join up, he'd extend an arm out to them while they were all still out of sight, implying that he wanted them all to wait and see what was going to happen before jumping into action.

Well apparently, that random stranger had managed to catch up to Daichi which seemed to surprise the teen. While he wasn't going as fast as he possibly could it wasn't every day someone could catch up to him. Then they mentioned being a digimon and instantly that mystery was solved. "Welp more help ain't ever a bad thing, names Daichi. The guy breathing his lungs out over there is named Shi, in through the nose Shi, in through the nose!" He called back to the grey eyed tamer who was not having a good time of it at all, it was very tiring trying to keep up with one speedy runner let alone two.
Thankfully they would slow down as some rando guy would talk about them being chosen. Daichi came to a more skidding stop slightly as he transitioned instantly into a fast walk next to the stranger. "Chosen, AEGIS? Oh you're one of those police guy's Shi told us about. Well best group up if we're heading to the same place, apparently it's some pumpkin digimon near this guys house." Shi managed to catch up finally while being a bit out of breath.
"Yeah, my mom found them." Shi would simply state as they rushed on over.
Meanwhile at the scene of the area Shi's mom did manage to get the attention of the pumpkin digimon, putting her hands in her coats pockets she listened to what he had to say, it was very odd to say the least. "Trick or treat huh, guess you seem young enough. One sec I'm pretty sure my daughter left it out." Walking a bit passed the Pumpkinmon towards her house she'd step near the door, leaning down to something that was covered decently well. It was a bowl of candy with the words 'take one' written on it.
Turning around she'd just present the bowl to the small digimon. "Here, for the record though you might get better results if you come on the actual day of Halloween. you're about a day off." she replied almost lazily, in all honesty she just figured the digimon didn't know any better, it was a human holiday after all right?
Back with Shi he arrived with the rest of the group, just in time to see his mom standing with a buncha candy. He instantly seemed to just brush passed Johan, not that he wanted to be rude or anything but he just legit didn't notice (Or maybe didn't care hard to tell) about him trying to stop him. "Hey mom, little guy. What's going on?" Which considering his words would probably explain quickly to Johan why he didn't acknowledge him.
Plus if his mom was handing this thing candy he really doubt it could be anything too dangerous right?

"AEGIS? I've heard something about that group while at school. Anyway it is nice to meet all of you. My name is Lothar Junior or LJ for short. So what is with the Pumpkinmon trick or treating a day early?" LJ said taking in the information before he said "And don't worry I don't plan on taking unnecessary risks so let's hope Pumpkinmon can be handled in a civil manner. Oh and I saw a wizard like digimon as well but I might have just spotted my dad." Sure LJ wasn't sure if the wizard digimon was even a Wizardmon since he wasn't close enough at the time to get a solid look. Besides usually where Mandrake went Lothar was rarely far behind.
LJ had followed everyone to where Pumpkinmon was seeing the ultimate level digimon near a human woman and watched as she offered the digimon candy while mentioning being a day off. Perhaps it was just an innocent error or an example of an overexcited trick or treater. LJ just hoped things would stay calm as Shi began talking to his mom. Carefully approaching Pump, LJ said "Hey there friend. I see you got a little overexcited when it comes to trick or treating. I get it's easy to lose a day every once in a while though so no harm seems to have been done."

"Thank you very much!" Pumpkinmon gratefully said as he took a single piece of chocolate out of the offered bowl and put it in his candy sack. The bowl's label said to only take one, so Pumpkinmon was gonna follow the rules like a good kid.
When everyone else started showing up out of nowhere, Pumpkinmon waved happily at them. Were they here to trick-or-treat as well? Oh, maybe Pumpkinmon could become friends with them! It's always better to celebrate holidays with friends! It was at that point, however, that he actually noticed Shi's mom and LJ telling him that he was a day off for trick-or-treating.
"Eh? What do you mean by 'a day off'? Is it not the 31st?" Pumpkinmon asked, tilting his head in confusion (little KoDokugumon gripping the top of the childish Ultimate's head as tightly as he could to avoid sliding off). Was it really not Halloween tonight? With the time dilation between worlds, Pumpkinmon supposed that he might've arrived on the wrong date. If so, then he'd have to find a way to apologize to everyone he's tricked so far.
Realizing his error, Pumpkinmon took the chocolate he'd grabbed and gently returned it to the bowl. "You can have this back. It wouldn't be right to keep it if it isn't actually Halloween yet. "Okay, so what's next, bro?" One of Lilith's Demidevimon familiars asked the other, his voice laced with traces of boredom and exhaustion. "We've dressed up as ghosts and flew around spooking people, we chased black cats into crossing people's paths, and we even used a fake spider prop to 'web' people with silly string! What else can we even do at this point?"
"Hm, let me see..." The other Demidevimon replied, a clipboard and pen in his claws as he looked over a checklist. "We could go TP some houses? Or we could DNA digivolve into Devidramon and scare people by pretending to be a Halloween decoration before jumping out at them."
"Eh, let's save the Devidramon one for last. DNA Digivolving is always exhausting to keep up. But TPing houses is always fun!" The first DemiDevimon replied, his tired body language perking up into excitement. The two Demidevimons then flew off to go continue their mischief spree.
Nearby, Damien the Sorcerimon struggled to catch his breath from all the running he's been doing, trying in vain to catch up with his sister's troubemaking followers. Oh, sister. Please stop this madness before you go too far.

"'Police guy' isn't the term I'd use to describe us, but yes, that's essentially what we are," Johan said as the group headed to their destination. It would be now that Daichi and the others would notice that Johan was actually a foreigner, complete with an English accent. "We essentially keep the law and order on Earth specifically when it comes to Digimon. It's thanks to us that bandits don't run rampant around the city causing havoc."
In regards to the pumpkin Digimon... "My mercenary already identified it: a Pumpmon. It may be as small as a child but it is actually an Ultimate level, and therefor it is incredibly dangerous. Come on, we should be nearly there." Johan heard that "LJ" kid mention something about seeing a wizard like Digimon recently, so Johan had to remind himself to ask about that later, but now they had to focus on one thing at a time.
Once the group got there, Shi proceeded to immediately ignore Johan and walk right up to his mother and the Pumpmon. Johan felt like he wanted to pull his hair out at that moment, but thankfully it seemed that everything was alright. He figured it would be safe to walk up now too, and as he did he overheard Pumpmon asking if it wasn't the 31st of October. "Nope, it's the 30th," Johan explained. "I'm guessing you came straight from the Digital World, right? With the time dilation, missing a date is pretty understandable. Just try not to cause anymore mischief, okay?"
Johan couldn't help but smile as he watched the Pumpmon thoughtfully give the candy back to Shi's mother after he learned about his mistake. But as much as his mood elevated, it plummeted when a sudden voice played back in his mind:
"Johan, look, that house looks so cool! Come on, I bet they're giving out the really good candy!"
It was Ruby's voice... the teen gasped and stepped back a little afterwards, taken aback by the sudden flashback he was experiencing. He re-positioned himself and looked back at LJ. "LJ, right? You said something about seeing a wizard-like Digimon. Do you know where you last saw it?"
"Johan, you're not gonna believe what I've seen through the security cams," Zero spoke up again via Johan's digivice. "Ghosts flying around, black cats crossing the streets, people being webbed up in silly string... and now an apartment complex is being completely covered in toilet paper by a couple of Demidevimons. I love Halloween!"
"You could afford to take this a little bit more seriously, Zero."
"Hey, if I wasn't serious about this, I woulda just said nothin'! These pranks are hilarious!"
"Pranks or not, they're still bandits," Johan replied back. "Zero, bring up the location of this apartment on GPS. We'll be there as soon as we can."
"Fine, whatever... killjoy."

Daichi noticeably raised an eyebrow at that remark of the bandits, which Daichi just assumed they meant digimon that came round but ultimately would note to never call them that, his mind flashed over to all the digimon he and Shi had taken care of in the past few weeks alone and Shi wasn't a member. Maybe some just slipped through the cracks? How big was this organization anyway. "Well me and this guy have some history dealing with this sorta thing as of late so, should be fine working together." Ultimately thinking on exactly what that sorta group was would be moot at the moment, best focus on the task at hand.
Though the part of LJ seeing his dad did catch Shi's attention. "Might've been another early trick or treater, best keep that in mind for now at least." Since LJ was in a Holo-suit it wouldn't make much sense that their dad wouldn't be in one as well. Despite how human like a Wizardmon might look.
But now that responding to people I couldn't of before was done back to the moment where Shi ignored someone, his mom lazily waved to her son as the news of the date had reached the Pumpmon, eventually leading him to putting the piece of candy back in the bowl. "It's alright, should probably go apologize to those people you pranked though. If you want, I could go with you." It'd be a good way to make sure they don't get into any more mischief, plus they seemed like a nice kid. "Also make sure to come back tomorrow, I'll save the piece you picked out for ya."
"Glad you're ok mom." Shi seemed to breathe a small sigh of relief for a moment, right before he went back to being stone faced as usual. Though as if fate itself decided that he couldn't have at least one quiet night, Shi managed to overhear Johan talking about more pranks going on. "Gonna be a long night huh." as Shi said this though he felt something approaching his head, sticking his hand out Shi managed to catch what was thrown, his mom's keys.
"You all will catch a cold if you run around at night like this, plus it should help you wrap this up at lot easier." Shi's mom suggested with a small smile.
Glancing over to Johan as he mentioned a GPS tracking the apartment. "How bout it, you guide I drive." It'd be a hella've a lot faster than running their that's for sure.
