Right after he'd arrived, there was this cute little...ball, we'll say, that was attempting to fly but in the end, was just standing there, staring up at him. He crouched down and then began, "So, you're my partner, eh?" He knew it was a Lopmon, but the coloring was quite unusual. Would he be drawing attention? "I'll follow your orders. Just... be nice to me, okay?" He almost stepped back but hid his surprise; he was definitely not expecting this. "What would you want me to call you?" "It... it would depend, but it's up to you, really." "What about... ?" he trailed off, attempting to think of something appropriate for his partner. After a few seconds of musing, he had an answer. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miji." "Miji... I like the sound of that," his partner answered, finally doing a twirl and flapping his... ears, or what looked like ears. Yusaki, or rather, Yuya here was quite surprised that everything around him looked so real. Maybe too real to be considered virtual reality, heck, there was a slight breeze blowing through the area! "How could I forget my manners! Let me introduce myself. I'm Yuya." Yes, he liked the sound of that. "So, where shall we go?" "I'll follow you around, wherever you want to go. Just... just be careful, okay?" Miji replied with another flap. I'm always careful.

[/color] he thought bemusedly, but his lips curved to smile all the same. "Let's go, then..."

And out he went into the city; and his lips quirked into that half-smirk he always wore. The whole of Asuka City had transformed into something that resembled Halloween Town from another series he'd enjoyed playing. Bats abound, pumpkins carved into various Digimon faces were everywhere. Getting into the mood, eh?[/color] he thought with a grin. "Come on, Miji, let's go."

pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere. illuminated dimly by some sort of digital force, they glowed quietly in the corners of the streets and by the sides of the pavements in an attempt to cast an eerie atmosphere in celebration of halloween.

grimm narrowly avoided a child who came running at - and past - him, a guilmon gamboling after it just a moment later. his coat whipped around him as he narrowed his eyes at the child, who was then trailed by what the man assumed to be a friend. "tch," he muttered, finding it hard to stand even in a corner due to the crowd and general excitement surrounding the area.

he glanced to the corner of his menu, where a mini-map was laid out. he spotted his party member whom he had recruited from genbu and brought all the way to asuka, and soon, the dot neared him.

grimm remained silent as usual, leaning against the brick wall. had it been any time other than halloween, he was certain his garb would stand out; but the festivities had most of the people dressed up in quirky and new fashion. fashion he would never have on his shoulders or clad around his body, truth be told.

a pumpkin in place of a baseball cap? funny-looking, to put it nicely.

"those hats look interesting."

"don'even, stupid."

Steven looked around the city. Already it was decorated to match the holiday season. Pumpkins and skeletons filled the streets, very much like the traditional amusement side of Halloween seen on television. There wasn't many things that would be chilling for the children. Maybe another one of the cities were like that.

"Know where they are, Steven?" Spadamon asked looking around. Unlike how he was outside of the city, the sword he often carried on his shoulder was gone, tucked away in the data that streamed across the game.

The tamer looked to the mini-map. A pronounced dot told them where he was. "Yeah." He moved without telling them where he was heading, knowing that the lion would follow after him regardless.

But the digimon is distracted by the decorations around them. The lights and supposed to be haunting gear is new to Spadamon. It doesn't look where it's going.

Tud

"Hey! Watch it!"

Steven turned around to see Spadamon on the ground, rubbing his head. The digimon glared at whoever it was that had bumped into them.

It was his fault, he wasn't looking after all. He was too busy watching Miji flop its ears around. Yes his coloration is very unusual. Too unusual.

[/color] "Sorry," his White Lopmon added, twiddling its ears once more. "It's just that we got here. Sorry again."

If there was one thing Yusa-- Yuya here had not forgotten, it was to be polite. He then bowed in apology. "I just arrived here in Asuka," he added once more. "Where would you suggest to go first?" he asked the Spadamon's trainer.

[grimm]

the tamer-digimon duo walked through the crowd-filled streets of asuka city, eventually coming close enough to notice the dot approaching them -- or rather, their own dot approaching steven's. (the map was designed so that the user himself remained static.)

for some odd reason, one of the dots flickered, its visibility lowered before popping back into view. "odd," grimm muttered, as shoutmon turned to him.

"nn?"

"it's nuthin'," said the tamer, his red coat whipped around his torso as he melted into the crowd, determined to find steven and his spadamon. "oi!" he called out, having spotted a ponytailed man accompanied by a lion digimon.

"... you are?" grimm eyed yuya, unfamiliar with who he was. "... ya'friend, stef?"

notes dude, sorry. rl issues on my end.

Although Spadamon looked like he wanted to start a fight, Steven placed his hand on the lion's head and pressed it forward. The action forced Spadamon to give a short bow of his head. "It's fine." He said. This one wasn't looking either, was what he meant to add.

Spadamon quickly understood what his tamer meant, stunned to have drawn his tamer into an odd situation. "Uhhhh." The lion motioned to push the tamer's hand away, but Steven had already taken back his hand by then. "Depends on what you're into," Steven replied.

"Yeah!" Spadamon jumped in, returning to his usual self. "There's the PvP place -- but you guys haven't got enough xp if you just started. And since wild digimon battles are determined by your tamer level, fighting anywhere is a-okay!"

Steven looked as though he was about to speak, but was cut off by a familiar tone. Grimm had finally made his appearance. "No," Steven said flatly. It hadn't been to offend, though it could have been taken that way. It was the truth.
