I gotta stay on task when I get back from work. There’s been a story update I wanted to follow up on, but I keep getting distracted.

There was a rumor starting to float around about a weird cosplay that people have been seeing. There's no surprise regarding how people can be, given how many freaks, weirdos, and just people with eccentric tastes have become more and more common in these modern times. Still, this wasn't like someone people see on the streets or a street performer, but more akin to an urban legend, a city cryptid. It was even circulating a bit on the Phansite for a short while, but Phantom Thief exploits drowned that out as the news cycle grabbed people's attentions.

Said cryptid was actually trying to get a gauge of where he was. Sure, the city was familiar to him. He knew these streets like the back of his hand, er, claw, but there were some key differences that were catching his attention, namely the name of Phantom Thieves being popular, but nothing even remotely close to anything like Digimon or the Digital World or cyberspace shenanigans. The closest he could seem to learn about was something about Medjed, but that didn't really go anywhere.

That, and he was distracted a little by hunger so he needed to figure out how to resolve his food situation. He's eyeing some food stands and trying to wait for the right time to snag something to fill his tummy.

Weeping that work's drained so much of my energy to be on Tumblr but I miss RPing here and interacting.

Memorial Day Weekend Over, back to the pain of work.

[ask-aegiochusmon]

An experiment, you say? How peculiar. I have never heard of Digimon being experimented on in the human world...

*His face still shows signs of suspicion, so Aegi quickly takes over.*

Okay, well, we're not here about Sado. We're here to discuss--

The rebellion? Yes, that reminds me actually. I was to inform you all that there is a small meeting occuring in a day, right here. There are already rebels who have been attempting something similar, but none have thought about confronting D-SAT about their abductions of Digimon. Most of them simply want to invade their base and find a way to escape from the Digimon District.

Figures. They're really more focused on their own survival instead of the lives of their comrades. That's sad to think about.

I mean, I kinda get it? It's sorta Digimon nature to have a more "survival of the fittest" outlook. But also, yeah, that just sucks! We need to find out where they took those Digimon, and we figured you might be able to help us scope out the place or something.

*Nanomon is quiet for a bit, processing her words, before turning his piercing gaze to Sado again.*

...I was under the impression that your "experiment" friend here came from D-SAT's base, no? Surely he can give us a basic layout of the area he was kept in.

*Both girls freeze, fear written on their faces. He's clearly testing Sado's story. They both exchange looks, not sure if they should jump in to defend the guy or let him form his own response.*

[evolutions-soul]

"Not really. Hazy memory of that place. It's part of why I need help figuring out getting back in." Sado counters pretty quickly as if it were the truth. "If I remembered enough, I'd be able to even say what was going on in there."

He hopes that's enough for Nanomon. Sado doesn't mind him discovering the truth later, but for now, they just needed to stay on task first and foremost. "So, think you can help us with the tech and hacking side of things?"

[thesilvermoonrays]

Was that... really it?

"I don't believe in the whole territory bullshit. I'd tell ya t'show me the scroll that says you own a mountain, but I can't read anyway." Now someone being an irritation was a different story. Inuyasha wasn't the type to fight immediately, but... he wasn't above giving someone a swift fist to the head if they were irritating him enough. "Keh, just let me take care of the guide bullshit."

Not like I don't do it all the time anyway.

Silent steps are taken, until he's in front of the little red one, as he would call it. It sounded too stupid, that two would fight over something like the question of where one was. Not long passed, before the man was sniffing audibly. This one smelled of scents he hadn't experienced in years.

"Where the fuck're you from?" No introductions, Inuyasha wanted answers. If he'd come from the future of this world like he smelled, maybe there was another opening. If he didn't get an answer fast enough, he was going to be the one whacking Sado against the head. Nothing more, but a whack nonetheless.

[evolutions-soul]

Oh, this guy was sniffing him now? That's new...was this guy a digimon too? No wait, they probably aren't called that here...technology doesn't exist here, but how does he explain that to them? Especially when they probably wouldn't understand it? He can't just say Shinjuku.

"Errr, it, uh...might be a long story?"

Yukiha was a little surprised. It sounded as though he wasn't aware of the otherworld. She looks to the Ogremon for a moment. They're aware of the mountain, and the fact that the other world reflects this one, so the fact the red one doesn't come from the mountain, and seems to be hesitant...that made things interesting.

"You invade my space, pester me with questions, and now you can't answer a simple one? You're frustrating me all over again, you whelp!"

"Hey! It's not like I'd expect anyone to believe me if I told them!" He looks over between Inuyasha and Yukiha. "It's definitely not the mountain if that's at least a start."

"You are not from the mountain?" Yukiha would blurt out as if that statement confirmed her suspicions. She wondered if there was something else about the other world...was it larger than she thought? She too wants more information from...and the fact that it was named Sado...that name sounded too...human.

"Yeah...um...I come from a place that, you might consider a concrete jungle?" The terminology wasn't something from this era, which might be Inuyasha's clue that this Sado IS in fact from the future.

[evolutions-soul]

Sorry for going quiet for a while. Work's been kicking my butt and I've needed time to try and recover.

reblog this if you're fine with your mutuals sending you asks unprompted

[ask-aegiochusmon]

Good idea. Just let us do the talking for now. Maybe don't mention the whole "being human" thing and we should be good.

*Aegi practically skips down the stairs, an odd sight for such a tall, mature-looking Digimon. She's clearly excited that they're a step closer to figuring out D-SAT's motives. At the bottom of the staircase is a single metal door.*

Okie dokie! Nanomon should probably know we're here by now. He's got cameras everywhere--

*No sooner had she said this does the door suddenly swing open. Before any of them can react, a pair of robotic arms extends and wraps around them, pulling the trio into the confines of the basement before the door shuts and engulfs them in darkness.*

Dang, bud. You could've at least given me a chance to say hi!

*An overhead lamp flicks on and there stands Nanomon, still holding them all in his grasp. His face is firm.*

"Saying hi" would be determental to my existence, Aegiochusmon! You are lucky no one saw you! I swear, you can be so dense...

Hey!

Nanomon, take it easy. We got more important things to talk about, remember? And would you mind putting us down?

Very well. Just keep your voices down. We cannot have D-SAT picking up on our conversation. Now...

*He sets his eyes on Sado*

You are this "Sado" Aegiochusmon mentioned? A pleasure. Hmm...your data signature is rather strange. You are not from Illiad, are you?

[evolutions-soul]

Sado is surprised by the robotic arms pulling him and the girls into the basement. He was stunned for a moment before they started to chat, letting himself relax seeing that they were exactly where they needed to be. Good. Very good news.

Though hearing that Nanomon could already pick up on his nature definitely made the idea of keeping his cards close to his chest a little difficult. Explaining he's from another world entirely might not be a wise idea, but the alternative may be to claim he's an experiment, since even a digimon egg hatched in the human world would likely still have Iliad's signature here in this world.

"R-right. I'm a bit of an experiment, but that doesn't mean I'm not a digimon." He isn't wrong. Homeostasis was technically taking a chance on turning a human into a digimon, so this could be a form of experimentation. He just hopes Nanomon buys it, and would likely assume he's a D-Sat asset that escaped.

[ask-aegiochusmon]

(continued from this post)

It didn't take much convincing for Nanomon to agree to let them come to his place. Aegiochusmon wasn't sure if it was the part about them meeting a new Digimon or the mention of starting a revolution was what got him to accept. But regardless, they now had their "man in the chair" so to speak.

The girls agreed to walk to Nanomon's place, the reasons being that it was good for exercise (Aegi's mindset) and that it would help Sado get a better idea of how...unpleasant the living conditions were for Digimon here (Baste's mindset).

To put it lightly, the center of the Digimon District was like a ghetto. There were D-SAT officiers patrolling through every other street, with trucks and small drones being often spotted as well. Bastemon pointed them out to Sado, letting him know that the drones recorded most of their activity, in order to ensure they were behaving.

After about a half hour of making their way through the war-torn half of Shinjuku, the trucks and drones became less prominent, and the Digimon seemed more or less calmer than the ones near the center of the District. They arrived at another old apartment, this one basically destroyed, but with lights coming from the stairway leading to the basement level.

"We're here!" Aegi said cheerfully, a stark contrast to the harsh environment around them. The faun approached the stairs and made and sweeping gesture to Sado. "Nanomon's just down here. Don't worry, he might be a bit sus of you at first, but he'll warm up by the end of the day."

[evolutions-soul]

"Sus? I can probably understand that. New digimon on the block with no clear history or understanding of the digital world Iliad. One is chance, two is coincidence...he'll probably find it weirder if he learns more about me...I'll play it by ear how much to mention about that, given the bad reputation humans have among digimon here." At least among the digimon who only have had contact with D-Sat as opposed to the digimon who have met normal humans and are starting to co-exist with them bit by bit.

Sado was mentally preparing for the meeting, and how to handle the discussion. It definitely feels like there's going to be a lot of things to go over and do in this world, so he may be here for a while.

[evolutions-soul]

Thinking about what kind of Digital World Sado's world should be attached to. I could use a pre-existing one but I kinda wanna have more freedom to fuck around with the hierarchy of stuff. There's a temptation to make use of Shambala while it's still pretty loose on lore so I'd basically be doing my own version of Shambala.

[evolutions-soul]

I got one more draft to do on another blog but I’m open here for threads so if anyone wants to RP or plot, feel free to like or reply to this post!

[evolutions-soul]

It will never not crack me up watching V-mon saying "Makenai, Daisuke." with that shit eating grin on his face.

[thesilvermoonrays]

Like he hadn't been through this a million times. A great big monster trying to pound through Tessaiga's barrier. Inuyasha held firm, as did the barrier generated by his natural yōki. There was a red glow emanating, even to this day, Shiori's gift came in great handy.

"Keh. Your technique needs work."

Brute strength wasn't going to win every battle. Inuyasha had learned that the hard way. That used to be his method, until he nearly got himself killed too many times to count. It took battle strategy just as much as it did power. He felt no difficulty in repelling the Oni's attacks. Not yet, anyway. No barrier could last forever, it took energy to keep it up.

...Then he heard the miko singing. It broke his concentration, weakening the barrier. It was good, this Oni let up on the attacks. Otherwise the barrier would have surely broken. Music, such a rare commodity for the man who was rarely allowed in villages without nasty looks... it calmed him, too. Slowly, his arm fell back to his side. What was a scowl turned to a soft frown.

"Yeah, well... as long as you're okay." That had been his goal in the first place, once he'd joined her for this. Her safety had become priority number one, he'd quicker die himself than allow someone he was protecting to die in his stead. "You've got some voice, y'know?" Even Inuyasha's tone had become softer. If just a little.

"Now," His attention turned to the two strange beings. Such weird smells. "Why the hell're you two fighting? People are tryin' t'sleep." He rolled his eyes. "Myself included." Not the full truth. Inuyasha only slept when it was necessary for his energy levels, lest he be haunted by nightmares.

"Can't you two talk it out or... some peaceful thing like that?"

[evolutions-soul]

Yukiha nods as she turns to the two kemonogami. She too was interested in why they were fighting, especially since it seems as though they were both of sound mind. She hadn't interacted with kemonogami often, so this made for an interesting development...though there was something about the red one that seemed less...no, not less, simply different.

The oni grumbled. "This guy muscled onto my turf and started talking weird stuff. I decided to see what he was made of if he thought he was all that." Ah, so the oni was the aggressor, at least regarding who attacked first, but he's claiming his territory was being invaded and he was bothered by the red one.

"Well SORRY for asking questions about where I am." The lizard would speak up. Now that things were calm, he could tell the humans were somehow stronger than he initially thought...at least until he noticed Inuyasha's ears, and he tilts his head. That was new, at least to him. Seeing both the hanyo and the miko has him connecting the dots. "My name is Sado, and I'm trying to figure out where I am, but I think I might be getting a bit of an idea."

The name makes Yukiha blink a little in surprise. It seems as though her feeling was correct. This wasn't like normal kemonogami. "I am Minase Yukiha. I am thankful to see you are alright."

"I am too, considering I'm pretty new to this fighting stuff, all things considered."

aight, Let's try to get to drafts!
