Tap tap tap. E's fingers thrummed against the table. It hadn't been long since this whole "speed dating" deal started up cause of Kuromon, so he hadn't had to talk to too many people yet, and deep down behind that boredom he was dreading the amount of possible people he'd have to "chat it up" with. He had just moved from his last conversation, it would probably only be a few moments before the next person popped up. He wasn't all that eager, though on the other side Neko was. She was the one who encouraged him(or egged him on , really) to go to this and talk with people besides the little handful he bothered to talk with. It would be good for him to be able to make some connections with other tamers on the island. She reminded him none of them were probably bad, just look at Etsuko! She was the first human they really got to know and she's super nice! Eventually he gave in, and Neko was excited. She always loved these sort of interactions, it was fun to have little chats, even if they

Well, things had been going well so far. The bell signalling the end of a round had rung, and everyone was milling about, settling down at their new assigned tables. It was warm enough in the bar that she was comfortable in her summer dress, which was the closest thing she had to dressing up clothes. Plus, Byo got an entirely useless but incredible adorable sunhat to match her outfit, so she counted that as a win. She settled in place, looking over at her newest partner. "Hello there. I... think we met briefly before. I'm Lia, this is Byo. How are you settling into Arcana? ___________________________________________________________________________________ Kyna looked up at the newest pair to join her at the table. She recognized them from meeting at Kaguya’s shop and she couldn’t shake the feeling that she’d seen them somewhere else as well. She also couldn’t ignore the face that she was starting to feel more and more underdressed the more people she ran into in date clothes... “Ah

Milos gave a look at the piano, tapping a couple of keys down and hearing the sound of music. He was aware of this piano honestly, but he's never really seen or heard anyone play. Not like he was the musical sort, but he did wond- A cacophony of keys played at the same time, giving him a shock and pulling his hands to his ears. His upper body fell to the keys as well, 'answering' the loud sound. He looked over to the source- BatDaemon held the keys down as he was trying to get up, which most likely was the source of that loud sound and the source of the sudden surprise. "Why are you even interested in this weird thing?" the Demon Snake would ask, tilting his head. "I--It's a piano..." Milos muttered, pulling his hands forward. Good, there was no blood. He felt like his eardrums were going to pop. "D-do not do that again p-please--" BatDaemon got down. "Alright alright." Milos shook his head, looking to the other side of the bunkers. "I-I hope nobody c-caught that..." he commented as he

“So you two don’t want to stay at the church any longer, huh?” Kyna asked with a frown. She wasn’t too terribly keen on sending off digimon as young as these without the power to protect themselves. Most of the digimon that she had known at their levels were happy to live in the orphanage until they hit Rookie level at least... “Are you sure? There are other digimon that you can spend time with, and you won’t have to have any worries about finding food either.” Nyaromon shook his head, although given his size and shape, it was more like shaking its entire body. Even it’s tail was wiggling with the force of its protests. “Ach! Living there is jus’ so boring! We wanna ken somewhere new!” She argued. Kyna looked at Purrsamon with a puzzled expression. She honestly wasn’t sure where they wanted to go, so that meant that they would have to wonder around until they could find someplace that was safe for the babies to live. Tsunomon nodded as well. “Yes, we don’t want to stay at the church

Kyna smiled as she ambled lazily along after her digimon. The shaded cat was so excited that he was practically bouncing on the balls of his feet. But she couldn’t really blame him for his excitement. He’d been given an assignment by Knightmon after all. Having your idol depend on you must be an exciting feeling. Kyna pulled the card Knightmon gave her out of her pocket and looked it over. It was a seemingly innocuous card that just said champion on the front. “So what do you think this will do for you?” Kyna asked, waving the card at him when he turned back to look. She had met Champion digimon before, but they ran the gamut of sizes and shapes. Most of them she had never seen in their previous forms. Would he look similar to how he looked now? She thought of Kaguya and Lume. Even though Salamon looked more like a dog, his Mikemon form was clearly a cat. And clearly distinct from other Mikemon. Kyna couldn’t help but feel guilty again as she thought of Swanmon’s orphanage. She hoped

Kyna cleared her throat with great solemnity as she looked over at the parties gathered on this battlefield. They stood here for a great purpose. For the pursuit of greater strength. And wasn’t the pursuit of a greater understanding of yourself and your capabilities the greatest strength of all? She could feel several sets of eyes burning into her back as she determinedly studied the combatants. She knew that if she turned and looked, somehow Battledramon X and Tuskmon would wrangle her into fighting as well. “On this day, we have three parties come to the battlefield! All seek strength! All seek glory! But only one can be victorious.” Kyna gestured to her left. “On this end stands Kotemon, the masked swordsman! He has spent many days honing his craft with his blade. And he seeks to go even further, to the limits of true strength!” Kotemon poses with his shinai, taking a proud swordsman’s stance. She gestured a second time. “And here comes Koromon! Formerly at a pinnacle of strength
