Meat The Competition (Finished)

Deck

This event was wonderful.

Though she wasn't a participant herself, she didn't need to partake in the actual festivities that went on, in order to go and enjoy herself, like many of the others here.

People from all different sorts of factions, had gathered together at the Shinjuku Busters Tower, in order to go and watch the matches that was going to go on.

She saw many faces, and along with them were Digimon who were freely out in the open, having the most fun time that they likely ever had in their lives.

None of which would be possible, without the faction's leader, who was both hosting, and participating in the event. He was sure a captivating man to behold.

It took leadership, and tolerance, to be able to host something like this, among people who normally had a feud with each other. Although being together here, she knew didn't necessarily mean things were peachy.

Though she was wearing the traditional gas masks and camo that Web Troopers usually wore, she was able to see for herself how not everyone had gotten along.

Acts which she found to be rather harmful, for her Terriermon to see, and who she shielded its eyes from.

The Digimon mistook it for a game, which made her smile, as she truthfully answered that it wasn't one. Just something she had to do, and it was it she thought of.

The Digimon seemed to be satisfied enough with that response, and went back to nuzzling against her arms.

She would have normally allowed it to walk, had it not been an event which held a rather large turnout.

Even with its naturally enhanced scent, she was still also afraid that the Digimon might wind up getting confused.

She wasn't the only one wearing the kind of outfit, which would protect a Web Trooper's identity, after all.

After eight rounds sitting in the stands, five of which it took to get to the match she wanted to see the most, consisting of this tower's leader, a break was allowed.

Though she really shouldn't have been, as it was truly a guilty pleasure of hers, to even partake in such a thing, she was smiling underneath the mask that she wore.

The amount of money she had, were more than double the amount which she had first started out with.

And all it took to get it, was betting what she had on the leader, who was confident enough not to care about Japan's laws, when it came to the faction and Digimon.

Or so she had heard from her own faction. The idea that government officials knew the Shinjuku Busters took it amongst themselves to delete Digimon, before it could really go around and make headline news for itself.

She would continue to do so as well again, having confidence that if the leader and host of the event, could really make it past the first round, then the case might be the same for at least the second round as well.

He had explicitly say that he had intended to win. But surely, there must have been someone who could give the leader a challenge, even if participating in something like bets, was giving her money she would need.

Walking away from a particular stall, which happened to sell some yakiniku, which she bought for the Digimon, there was also another thing on her mind. An event like this, which had numerous people, was an opportunity.

One which she could use to trade her own cards, knowing she had a few she didn't need, along with a few fragments that others might actually end up needing.

Her eyes glanced around the tower, while her Digimon chewed the stick of meat it was holding, its cheeks slightly puffing out as it did. It ate as carefully as she had taught it to, rather than just diving straight in.

There were lots of people here, although out of all of them, what had caught her eye, had to have been a boy with a spider Digimon. He looked much younger than most of those who had likely came to this event.

If the Digimon was truly his partner, that had been a four year difference from when she had met her Terriermon. Maybe even a lot more, depending on its age.

"Excuse me?"

She hadn't hesitated to call for their attention, which for her appearance, and wave that she had gave, wasn't something which should be difficult. Especially as she had moved towards them, to make it much easier.

Although before she really could, someone else seemed to already have. Of course, it was only natural to wait, or perhaps even include the unexpected party, into what she had intended to ask the boy and his Digimon.

"I've got a couple of questions I'd like to ask you specifically, though the most important one, and could apply to the both of you, would have to be if either of you would like to trade."

She pulled out her collection, which consisted of at least over 40 cards, if counting the fragments. It was carefully fanned out from a distance, before being just as quickly folded back.

The idea, after all, was to gesture what she was trying to ask.

The fall hadn't seemed too bad in her eyes.

Though things like that, were always easier to watch, than actually experience. The sight was something she hid from her Terriermon, only because the Digimon was able to empathize with things, far more than she could.

She had watched as the young boy had apologized, even though it wasn't at all his fault, and interestingly enough, his outreached hand had been nowhere near the woman.

That had to have been a sight issue, right? It was difficult to tell, knowing how some people could be.

There were people who looked like they were squinting, but actually just had thinner eyes than one thought.

Didn't make them much different from anyone else, but if this kid was blind, it did show he needed more help than most would. Which only made her more curious.

If he had been to the digital world at all, just how was he able to slash the cards so efficiently? The spider seemed to call the shots, but that wasn't always a guarantee.

If the Digimon was smart, or under the guidance of a Tamer who was, the two would wind up being separated.

Strangely, her offer was declined, despite the boy having said earlier he had been fine with taking a look.

Though it wasn't something she would really push, if the spider had really believed they didn't need it.

Instead, the yakiniku that her Terriermon had been eating, but finished up, was pointed out instead.

Reasonably, knowing how long the matches had went on. She had bought enough for the Digimon to enjoy as they had looked around, with the sticks being disposed of, whenever she had saw the chance to go do so.

Her own appetite, was left more in the hands of commodities like a bottle of water, than it really was with consuming any sustenance, outside of breakfast.

The expenses she made however, could never really be enough, if it was what her Terriermon had wanted.

Right now it was satisfied, and just following the conversation with its eyes, as it listened in.

Before she could really go on and respond however, the other woman had spoke out of her opinion, on the spider having declined for its Tamer on trading.

"Ah, it's fine, really. An offer can't really be enforced."

In cases like these, at least. Conflict could start, if one were to really be reckless at an event like this.

Though a couple of cards weren't really something which would be worth it, having had only a collection of forty.

"I'd still like to talk to you two about other stuff, if you're willing to do so on the way there. Nothing I believe is too personal."

But her perspective of things were also rather different than others. What she believed people could be open about, the Digimon might actually think differently.

Though if her offer to lead them was also going to be declined, then the other woman wouldn't be incorrect about the spider being a bit too cautious.

"I'm sure I can find someone who needs the Water Fragment, yes. A two for two it is."

Giving a slight nod to the offer she was getting, heated as it seemed to be from the spider's decision, she had pulled out the cards from her deck, and pocketed away the rest inside the case that she kept it in.

The Terriermon in her arms had perked up, leaning a bit over to watch the exchange, as she carefully held it out.
