Post by Haruka on Dec 28, 2022 3:49:28 GMT
Morning, six AM. A strings of messages appeared on Miyako's phone that day... all in rapid succession. It's from Haruka, whose nametag is Nijiruka023. At first it was strings of crying emojis, and even depressed person. The followed with several kaomojis of someone crying, someone with face full of rage with their hands clenched, someone running away crying...
...followed with photo of a ruined painting.
and a hugeass sticker of crying cat.
There are some strings of blubbering mess that could be described as a ranting of an artists being sconred after missing a deadline.
”神様 なぜーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー“
Originally this is written in english, in the text as "DEAR LORD WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY", but the author took aa writing liberty in this due to the setting being set in Japan.
Those who entered the art room after this would see the painter girl pretty much fallen on the ground, in a certain amazingly iconic Dragon Ball Z pose, in pool of her own tears as she continuously wept for her ruined paintings. Some curses just flew from her mouth like a whisper as she twitched now and then. Seriously, she looked like some magikarp.... Well either way, she was beyond unconsolable at this point.
".............WRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY..........................................."

The string of very erratic messages from Haruka were plenty of cause for concern from Miyako, to the point where she UNIRONICALLY RAN TO SCHOOL with her toast in her mouth and all as if it were the first episode of a really shitty anime.
She even skipped her usual good mornings and ran over towards the art room to find a crime scene. Ruined paintings. Haruka, Yamcha posed upon the ground. At that moment in time, a Kotemon realized from near Miyako, stared at her, and spoke, in his true voice,
"Skill issue."
"Hey, the lady's grieving, gramps! ...Those poor paintings, though..." Miyako murmured, making for Haruka to check if she was hurt or not. "You good? I-I mean...Ah. Physically. I can feel your suffering from miles off..."

Haruka looked up fom her crying, fetal position at the accusation that this is skill issue. ".............................FUCK OFF GIGI!" she retorted without even filtering herself. Looks like that's an answer for whether she's fine physically or not. Beside probably her eyes and sinus from crying way too much.... she's definitely fine.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, my magnum opus... my blood and teaaaarssssss........" Haruka lamented once more, clawing at the faded colors, the mixed, grotesque shapes, and the aroma that didn't linger the slightest. "Woe is me, the world is cruel! Fie! Fie all of these barbs fate tossed at me! Just when I thought I was ready to showcase it on winter gallery... wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.................."
Miyako at this time might notice that Haruka is not actually empty handed. She got some spatulas on her hand. Mercilessly, she stabbed the canvas with it.
".........hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................"
Just like many other artists, Haruka have the view that she will never able to repaint something exactly the same way. Doing so would only means that she clings to something in the past. A magnum opus only cold be made by adding something new and novel to your old experience. Redrawing an image and giving it a new twist would give a fresh meaning, but those who truly are looking for greatness would discard the idea entirely and tosses away the ideas of the old work and focus on the new one.
"...Ugh, the paints are fine, but my works, all of it has been ruined! They said it's some fautly sprinkler issue! Could you believe it!? Well, paints are also fire hazard but seriously! My perfume have been ruined too! The bottles got knocked over and it broke! Ah, but be careful, I wonder if I missed some spots... But anyway... now how can I work on my next project like this!? None of these are insured!"
"...If it's aroma that you're looking for, perhaps I could be of help~?"
An unknown fourth voice joined the talk. From behind the curtain, a floating fairy Digimon appeared.
"Aroma are, after all, my specialty!"
"...Huh? Hold on, a sec, a sec. I know I retorted to that chibi over there, I thought that he's like a pet robot or something but... ain't no way you're a pet robot!"
"Well I don't know about robot, but certainly I am not a pet~ I am... a happiness fairy!" the unknown Digimon answered.

"No." Came Mantis' reply, sharp and barbed as ever. Miyako's gesture towards Haruka was just a pat on the shoulder in reassurance. While the art may never be able to be replicated, new masterpieces that would outpace the lost by miles would come by soon.
"It...sounds like a catastrophic failure compared to a simple issue with a faulty sprinkler..." Miyako murmured, a hand coming to her chin in thought before another voice broke both her and Mantis out of their ruminations. "I am not a robot. I bleed as you do. I seethe as you do. I radiate the fury of a hundred dying stars, a blade awaiting his master's word." The warrior of eld began, before...
A pause.
"I do not know what, or who the aroma woman is, however. Hello." A wave of a hand, and a dip of the head in a show of respect. "...Hey, Haru, do you by chance have anything on your person that...wasn't there before?" Miya decided to ask, glancing between the strange fairy and Haruka.

"...Geez, Miya, how can a sweet cutie like you got partnered with such a ball of edgy boomer energy? ...I swear he smelled like he came from the sixties or something." Haruka quipped, not really looking for an answer. "Hey, hey, my bestie is cute, right?" she asked at the plant fairy Digimon, hugging Miyako from behind and rubbing her cheeks like mochi. "Why she got a kendo batman dude with her? The image is all over the place! It becomes trope of a stoic dark knight and an elfish pale girl!" she does however seem to look for approval from the aroma Digimon. Anyway, was that a reference?
"Hm? Hmmmm, well, I haven't been around for long-- ah, hello-- but I think this is what Digimon around here says about partnered human and Digimon? I guess either opposite attract, or perhaps... she's darker than you think? They do said that cute ones often hides their claws..."
.....Well that was not what Haruka wanted to hear, but...
"Oh, somethin that I don't have beforeee? You gotta be more specific about that, Miyacchi! I mean, I just changed my shoes, my socks, my.... well today my aroma wasn't pumpkin, and was actually more to pines. Closer to winter don't you think? Ah, buuuuut if you mean COMPLETELY new thing then my shoes!" She bounced on her toes like usual, her sidetail swaying. "...........oh and this?" she pointed at her wrist. "I got it somewhere.... eh, are you asking because this watch thing is haunted!? No way, it's not Yo-(BLEEP) Watch was it!?"
...That's different franchise alltogether, girl.

"Fate's funny like that, I kinda don't like the joke but trust me when I say he's a good guy." Miyako was very quick to establish that before the pale girl turned a bright red at being called cute. She could handle the CHEEK SQUIMSH just fine! But cute? Damn.
"If it makes you feel at all vindicated or validated, I only start evoking that sort of aura at higher levels of power. My image otherwise does not matter, for I have a duty to my lady to purge her foes from this vile earth."
The fairy had a point though. That they were so different in demeanor could only really mean one was hiding something. Neither really chose to comment upon it. "Yeah, like that Pokedex looking thing." Miya pointed right at the...bracelet? "...Huh, that's...not a digivice I've seen before, actually."
"New breeds pop up like popcorn sometimes." Mantis commented. "Guess watches are in--should've guessed the Jordans kid'd get Yggdrasil to start a trend. That is the crux of one's bond with a Digimon. Protect it well, and you will see things you'd only see in the strangest of paintings, Haruka."

"He's a good guy, but batman is also a good guy while being kinda jerky." Haruka countered. "....But I guess if you're my bestie's guardian, I'll let some slightings go. Doesn't mean that I won't call you Mr. Meanpants though."
Not one that she has seen before? But... huh, she guess that it means she's destined to be partnered with someone too? "Hmmm... say, what do you think about partnership?" she asked the fairy. "Is it more of a destiny thing, or is it more to something that you decide on your own?"
"Hmmm..." somehow, the air of ditziness about her kind of changed... like, she's actually thinking of it in rational way instead of the fairy brain kind of way. ".....Well, you see, the way I see it, it's 50:50. It's true that there might be higher power at work here, and that higher power made it so you encounter one another but... eventually, I guess, its up to both of us, do we want to reject, or do we want to go with it."
"So while we do not have the right to choose, we have the right of to accept or to reject."
"That is how I view it."
"..........................mmmm... I wonder what happened if I accept?"
"...It's definitely not going to be smooth sailing, but... we'll be together."
"Huh?"
"I just felt a chemistry with you. It have to be you that decide now as I have decided. I choose to accept, but what about Haruka? The world of a chosen is not a smooth sailing one, death will always floats close by... However, a completely new color will appear right before you.. what will you do?"
Haruka looked at Miyako, like asking her to tell her side of the story about being partnered and whatnot.

"Cope." Was all Mantis had to say to Haruka on that regard. Miya's response was to simply give a dismayed stare at the Kotemon, to which only a half-hearted shrug was even offered in response.
She did manage to muster words in the end, though. "Higher power or no, the final arbiter of such a decision is always going to be yourselves, or so I'd like to think." She spoke softly. Mantis, though? "Even if that higher power has something to say about it."
Honestly speaking, this was a far simpler affair than Miyako's own form of this. "...Compared to what happened to me--getting stranded in another world, in ruins alone with a misogynistic kid my age...This is far tamer. Heck, your partner even came to you! I had to go to a village full of babies and try finding his egg before I even got my own."
And that was a mess in and of itself. "...We don't get along. But we know we have a duty to everyone around us, and we make it work." She concluded.

"....I'm deadass thinking that this dude have an issue with me somewhere," Haruka muttered, slightly miffed at this Digimon. What the hell is his issue with her!? She's just very much despairing over sleepless nights and the fact that no, you can't remake a painting unless you're into it. She's an artist that believes that you can only capture a certain magic once. If it got destroyed like this, she believes that the previous magic is gone, so rather than trying to fix it, better just call it quits and make new one!
"...Well, then... paint my world in new color--"
"As you wish. May this partnership be a mutually exciting experience."
The moment the two's hand touches, a sudden discomfort would gripes everyone's heart. Almost as if the whole room is going to be swallowed in some sort of malice. These feeling of envy, feeling of anger, feeling of utter disgust... The world started to get painted black.
"I won't let you! I just met my partner, and I will not just float here and let you do as you please!" Aromamon declared. She clasped her hands in front of the crystal on her chest, before spreading it to form a small sanctuary. However, the dark power was too strong... too all consuming. They wished to pull the four to another world, to deal with them there--
But a spark of flame empowered Shion's barrier, and guided them to a safe place, a place that looked like copy of their school's library.
"...That was too close." a fifth voice, distinctly different, quipped. An Agumon X a green bundle of stuff appeared out of nowhere.
"Looks like you're the second to awaken." the Agumon pointed out.
