 Dammit.
She just wanted to get something for her and Hideo to eat before the next match. She didn't expect to have him bump into a Nightmare member or get questioned by a Web Trooper. And now, there was a murder going on, with one of the tournament fighters being the victim.
Hideo's phone continued reading off oncoming texts - it was apparently a group chat now. A group chat that encompassed everyone that received the message, which seemed to be everyone. Outside of the phone, people were starting to discuss the message: some were shocked to see it, others were ambivalent, and others even expressed their doubts out loud, thinking it was some kind of prank.
The Nightmare girl was absolutely furious, stomping around and swearing. Hideo stepped back, in a case where his reflexes were making the smartest decision for now - she'd have pulled him back if he didn't move. The Web Trooper girl was infinitely-more composed through her, but it was impossible to see how she was really reacting behind that gas mask.
Kumomon looked back at Hideo. He looked like he was doing his best to look calm, and if you only looked at his face, you'd think he was taking this surprisingly well. But she could feel his hand, and it was trembling. He must have been getting worked-up over all those texts he was getting.
Kuki gently drew his arm towards her so she could turn off his phone, but just as she got close, an odd song started to play from it, instantly silencing the text-reading program running on his phone. On the screen she could see the words "Caller: Naoki Kino". She heard the phone begin to read out the name, but before it went past "caller", Hideo already accepted it, pulling the phone up to his ear, slipping out of the spider's hold.
She couldn't hear what came out of the phone at first, only hearing some indistinct speaking as soon as her partner uttered "Naoki?". Hideo's response made it more obvious what was being said. "I'm...I'm where all the stands are."
A brief pause as she heard some sounds from his phone. "Uh...I don't really know which one I'm by."
One more pause as the brother spoke. "Yeah, she's with me....yeah, I'll give her the phone."
Hideo briefly moved the phone away from his ear. "Kuki, Naoki wants to talk to you. He's trying to find out where we are." He knelt back down, no doubt to feel for where her head was. She made the job easier for him, guiding his arm so his phone would press against one of her ears.
"Kumomon, I-"
"You're looking for where we are, right?" Her answer was quick, to-the-point. He must have been caught off-guard, because he didn't immediately respond. "All these stands look the same to me, but you shouldn't have trouble finding a kid in a striped sweater with a pink spider."
The response was exasperated. "...don't be a smartass. I'll send Falcomon over to find you two so we can escort Hideo somewhere safer. Stay put until he finds you. Keep an eye out for anyone suspicious, and don't let Hideo out of your sight."
"Do you really need to tell me that?" There was another moment of silence after that, with a groan heard before the phone beeped. Call ended.
"Looks like we're gonna be stuck here until his Falcomon gets here," Kumomon stated, pushing Hideo's arm out of the way. He seemed to get the message, putting his phone back in his pocket. She looked towards the Web Trooper girl, shrugging with two pairs of her legs. "If you've got more questions, ask them now. No clue when he'll get here, but it won't take long for a bird to find us." |

Kaida listened impatiently to the Trooper woman, before bursting into a little grumble and raising her hands as if she didn't even know what to do with them and slapped her hands down with an audible crack! " 'Course. Fine. You're Trooper anyway." She snarled and pulled up her bandana around her mouth, Jorgie adjusted around her throat until he looked like a scaly scarf. She could hear the phone rattling off a bunch of texts, and furiously added another to the onslaught, and studying any answer she got. Abruptly, the kid's phone changed to a phone call, and she groaned as she heard the spider pipe up that whoever Falcomon was, he was arriving soon. " No questions." She stated matter-factly, pocketing her phone and patting Jorgie when he whispered, " Ok?" No doubt she wasn't fine, nor was she sticking around any longer, " Gotta go, don't come back if you can't take it. Trooper? Good cards, hope to see more later." And with that, she was off, looking no more different from any other Nightmare member save for her infuriated eyes and new cards in hand... Hideo Kino Rukia Date (And, exit! Nice thread guys!) |

 You don't have to worry...
“I'll be there to save you.” Handing 150 bytes. Deck
BS011 - Power Driver
Raises the user's Strength by 10 points for 2 turns.
BS134 - Berenjena W
The user equips Beelzemon's ferocious shotgun. It only possesses two rounds, after the use of which it will immediately dissipate, but each shell deals heavy Dark damage. The resultant explosion deals Dark damage to adjacent targets. Digimon only.
BS034 - Board Reset
Resets the battlefield to what it was before the beginning of the fight, repairing structural damage and instantly removing any weather or terrain effects active.
BS066 - Justice Blaster W
Part of the Digimon's body or limb is turned into a giant gun barrel similar to Deputymon. It is capable of firing large metal bullets with surprising accuracy. Inflicts moderate Metal damage but only has two shots. Fades away after 3 turns.
BS085 - Nova Flame
Greymon's signature attack. The user launches explosive ball of fire, dealing moderate Fire damage to the target and low Fire damage to anything nearby as splash damage.
She always did try to stay out of affairs she shouldn't.
Even with the protection of a Digimon, she didn't think there was any shame with doing so either.
A matter like a murder, was just the kind of subject most people didn't have experience with diving into.
Or if they did, then it wasn't likely they would make it back, the more they tried to explore it all through.
She had people she knew who wouldn't hesitate at all to at least try, regardless of whether they had the jurisdiction or not. People who would drag her into things, if they could just find her to do so to go help out.
They were supposed to be who she was worried for as well, knowing that things could spell trouble without her.
That she was supposed to be willing to join along because of that reason, and abandon her hesitation.
Mark something like this as another one of her adventures, she found herself being dragged in.
But the squirming Digimon in her arms, who was putting its attention elsewhere while she talked, only reminded her that it was best to leave it up to proper authorities.
Anyone wishing to do a search, wasn't something which she would stop. Though they would likely have difficulties doing so, if the security earlier was any indication.
Nothing which really had that much say now, knowing someone from this event had been murdered.
But what was really the chance they'd encounter someone like that? Especially while unprepared?
The Terriermon knew what to do if someone suspicious had approached. That was just the kind of vibe that was left around someone who might have been danger.
Its senses as an animal of sorts, was also better than a human's, meaning it should be able to whiff out the smell of blood, if it had really needed to do so.
That kind of optimism, was what got her through the reaction the woman had given her, which continued to display that outrage for this guy.
Was her offer of peace taken as some kind of insult? She usually had a good gauge on reading people, but anger just seemed like a whole different world.
The vibrations of her phone, were rather clear indications that only reminded those here, of just what was actually going on. How big this must have been for people.
Her chance to look at what was going on, and even respond, had came when the boy had received a phone call. There was enough context, even without hearing the voice from the other end, to know that there was someone who was concerned for his well being.
Beyond the spider, at least. It could have been friends, though it might have also been family, knowing just how young the kid was, and obviously visually impaired.
It hadn't taken her long to add her own input to the chat going on, leaving her personal opinions on the death out of what really mattered, which was not panicking.
People were so busy arguing, that no one really seemed to notice her presence. Not much of a surprise, knowing the majority felt sympathized with the loss of a life.
"Goodbye, miss!"
As the boy finished his call, the woman dismissed what she had asked earlier, before leaving her in what she had assumed was supposed to have been appreciation.
It was puzzling, knowing that she had been shouted at, and it was only her Terriermon raising itself in her arms and waving, that kept her from pondering too long.
Right. With the woman leaving, and everyone seeming to be worked up about this whole thing, maybe it would be best if she continued just being alone with Tara.
"It's gotten a bit too discouraging for that, so I'm afraid this is where we also part. I don't know if you'll have time to even eat, or really feel like it after hearing such a tragedy, but here. If you just go down that way, and keep your eyes on the left, you should be able to find the stall."
She lowered herself just a bit, pulling out some money, which she handed over to the spider Digimon, as she gestured towards the direction she had pointed at.
"I apologize things couldn't go as planned, but I do hope you can look past this news, and have a better day."
"Goodbye!"
It made her happy it didn't understand what was going on.

So that was that. The Nightmare girl was (rightfully) frustrated with the whole situation. The crack noise she made when she slammed her hands down startled the already-perturbed Hideo. This whole debacle must've been stressing him out - and to be fair, this was a horrible thing to happen on their first time going to one of these tournaments.
Gently, she slipped one of her legs into his hand. Almost immediately, he squeezed it with enough force that it actually hurt her, but she did not retract it. If he needed to do that to comfort himself, then she'd let him do it. And for what it was worth, he did realize that he was holding it too hard, loosening his grip without releasing her leg.
The Nightmare girl walked away, and soon, the Web Trooper girl said her farewells too. However, the later gave the two more than just words: she deposited a small amount of money onto Kuki, who hastily put four of her legs together to keep any of it from just falling to the ground. "It's ok!" Hideo said, sounding much more composed and joyful than Kumomon would've expected. "Not all of these tournaments are like this, right?"
As the Web Trooper girl walked away, Kuki placed the money she'd been given on Hideo's hand. He appeared confused for a moment, carefully feeling it to see what it was. "H-hey, you don't have to give me anything! I already have enough money!"
Quite a bit of it too; she'd had him make a number of bets on the tournament, and it turned out that almost every decision was the correct one, leaving them with not shortage of funds for what they wanted.
"Too late to give it back," Kumomon mused, "She's already gone." Not like having more money was a problem, yet it still earned a dejected sigh from the boy as he pocketed the extra bytes.
Well, now that they had some amount of privacy, she thought it best to comfort him with words instead of action. "How're you feeling, Hideo?"
A small pause, and then another sigh from the boy. "I can't believe something like that had to happen. Who could do such a thing?" His energetic tone before when he spoke to the Web Trooper girl was gone, replaced by one much more somber.
Lots of possible reasons came to her mind. One of the factions trying to take out the competition, Eagleheart trying to get rid of a troublesome opponent, or maybe just a mugging gone horribly wrong. But she wouldn't bring any of those up - just didn't seem like the kind of thing that would put him at ease. "No clue," she lied, "but thinking about it right now won't change that it happened. Best we can do is just be careful until they catch the guy that did it."
She had a good idea for calming his nerves. "Let's go get something to eat. I can guide you over to the stand that Web Trooper girl mentioned." This whole meeting happened because she needed a bite to eat, but at this point, she thought he could use the meal more than she did.
"But aren't we supposed to stay put until Falcomon finds us?"
"I'm sure he won't have trouble finding us in the crowd, no matter where we are." She once again slipped her front leg on his hand. "Come on. The longer we wait, the the less time we'll have to eat."
For a moment, he did nothing. He then smiled, gently grabbing hold of her leg and allowing her to lead him on like before.
