without much goal or direction for the game, roru wasn't entirely certain what he'd like to do with himself. he'd gotten as far as leaving the city, and now paced aggressively through the park. it felt odd roaming alone. well, there was his digital partner but the creature didn't do much except quietly follow him. he came to a stop, turning to the scary beast. his lips curled and pursed while he considered talking to it. ultimately, it probably wasn't worth it.

the phascomon lowered its gaze when it came to understand rorukya had nothing for it and continued ahead of him. the boy tilted his head, scoffing his foot through the simulated grass. he needed something to do, somewhere to go. brows furrowed, trotting to catch up to the digimon. a hand reached to touch the thing's head but withheld from coming near. the beast turned, then something caught it's attention beyond the player.

rorukya noticed this, but shrunk between his shoulders as he rounded the creature so he would stand behind it. hands fell into the pockets of his pants. "we never do anything..." phascomon commented, head following his tamer's movement. rorukya shrugged. "what do you want to do?" and the digimon looked at the ground. "i don't know." to which the boy furrowed his brows and tersely replied, "well, think of something." because he didn't know. they were never doing anything, any given time.

“Salamon, wait up! You run too fast!” The loud comment could be taken as someone in distress, perhaps running away from something, without the sight of the two dashing about and the sound of laughter, one might think something was wrong. Instead, Cloudchaser and her digimon were engaged in a game of tag. Between two people it wasn’t exactly the most fun sort of game ever. “If I do that I’m it!” The puppy-like digimon called it’s answer as it turned and bowed, its rump wiggled back and forth, but it dashed away just as Cloud’s hand came near. “Oh, you sneak!”

The continued on for a while, until the Salamon ran head-first into a dark-haired male… or the back of his legs anyway. The collision sent the digimon tumbling around backwards, somersaulting until it rolled to a halt a little bit away. “Oh!”

patience had already failed the young man. as far as he was concerned, phascomon couldn't just disappear when his tamer logged off. how could this monster have no ambition or desires for its artificial life? not even a destination it'd like to explore. the sudden knock against his legs did more than startle rorukya.

in that instant his bewildered eyes widened he saw the bright light of the on-coming car and as they closed he remembered so vividly the crash. he whipped around, postured defensively against the unfamiliar digimon. the cabbage roll staggered a few steps forward, having forgotten his legs wouldn't fail him in this world.

"is it ok?" his voice, though asking a sincere question, was anything but friendly. he glared at the girl, "watch what you're doing. there's other people around here, you know." meanwhile, the hideous phascomon toddled toward the fallen comrade, poking its head around as if it might be sniffing it.

the digimon's actions didn't concern rorukya, who stood straight and adamantly crossed his arms over his chest awaiting some sort of explanation or anything, really, from the brunette. "well?"

[kapella]

“I’m sorry, Salamon just get’s so excited sometimes she forgets to look where she’s going.” Cloudchaser approached the male quickly, reaching down to nudge her digimon to its feet. The girl’s face was apologetic, and a little hurt. The boy just seemed so stony toward her, even though it had been an accident – it wasn’t as though he was actually hurt. “Go on, apologize too for running into him…”

The Salamon looked incredibly remorseful, almost on the verge of tears, its big blue eyes seemed to shiver with mist and its lips trembled. “I’m so sorry mister! I really didn’t mean to! I was just having so much fun!” Cloud patted the digimon’s head encouragingly, letting it know that it was doing the right thing by apologizing. “There now, that wasn’t so bad.” She scratched the dog idly behind its ears and glanced up at the boy – his avatar was rather handsome, she thought to herself. “I’m Cloudchaser,” a serene smile replaced her concerned expression.

his brows quirked. this was somehow unexpected for the youth. arms eased down, hanging at his sides as he relaxed after her urging the digimon to apologize. his lips quirked similarly with his brows thought it disappeared quickly after a soft sigh calmed him. he jerked his head back, smile replaced by a cool smirk, "nah..." though he was still upset over it, the male wasn't going to keep pressing on. better to forgive and forget, right? besides, this girl and her digimon were pretty cute. though, he didn't see the point of offering his username. Instead, rorukya tipped his head upward somewhat like a smooth springing movement of acknowledgement.

"that's nice." though his tone suggested otherwise. "was boychaser taken? are you here to prey on me?" he teased her, body swaying to the side as he shifted his weight to the latter leg. rorukya idly lulled his blue eyes toward phascomon, returning to him with a large blade of grass. he straightened. "what's this about?" he asked, snatching up the blade. phascomon shrugged, facing the strangers. it waved its claw sheepishly while, after a short investigation, the player threw the grass aside.

“Is it working?” Cloud teased back, lifting her hands up to shoulder level and wiggling her fingers as if she was planning to grab him, there was a lighthearted grin on her face – no one could say she wasn’t good-humored. She giggled softly, her hands now moving to clasp each other behind her back. She shifted her weight from her toes to her heels. “No, that’s not why at all.”

The girl’s amber eyes quickly caught sight of the digimon. “Ah!” It wasn’t a yell of fear, but more a sound of recognition. She pointed at the digimon and her eyes seemed to sparkle. “So cute!! A Phascomon! I bet it looks really cool when it digivolves! Look how sleepy it looks!” She seemed so animated in that moment, excited about really seeing the strange digimon – it looked similarly to a koala bear with bat wings, or to her it did. It was so fuzzy looking, she had the sudden compulsion to reach out and pet it but she held back.

surprise found him when she'd replied as she had. once again, she caught him off-guard and whether it was the threat of being touched or something else, he was suddenly conscious of his beating heart. he'd then pretend to be interested in this leaf, thankful phascomon was weird enough to fetch it. a smirk hide itself beneath his lowered head, hues peering up to catch a glimpse of her movement.

phascomon crouched, its weird way of sitting without putting its butt to the ground. rorukya was given a jolt when she shouted, lashing his arms out and backing up to assess the situation. he was rendered speechless, a blush creeping to his cheeks while she fawned over the digimon. the boy never gave the creature much attention to notice, though he supposed it was kinda cute. like some kind of mutated koala bear... nonetheless, the demon beast perked with charmed disbelief.

it looked up at rorukya, "i'm cute?" whom smiled and shrugged with a cocked brow. although detached from the creature, the teenager felt that in some way the digimon was an extension of himself. he noted her subtle desire to possibly coddle the monster and cringed at the thought. "ah, so it's my digimon you're after. well, sorry but he's mine..." cabbage roll gave his pet an awkward pat on the head. "mh, maybe." he never bothered trying for that, digivolving phascomon.

absent wonderment had his thoughts fixed on the digimon. a curled index finger rested, not on his chin, but gently pressed against his lips while his thumb served as the support vertical along his chin. his hand shifted higher up until the nail of his thumb was bitten between his teeth.

[kapella]

"What?? No, I don't want to steal him!" She took a step back, waving her arms back and forth and shaking her head vigorously, her hair swung back and forth in it's bun, some hairs falling out and smacking just behind her ears as she changed the direction her head was moving. When Izumi was finished adamantly denying his comment she had a sulking expression on her face. "I'm excited to see what Salamon might become, thought I worry about her getting hurt in battles." She glanced down at the puppy, who looked up at her with big blue eyes - the digimon remained behind Izumi for now, not wanting to upset Rorukya again.

his hand wiped against his thigh. a grimace replaced by a smile from her reaction. she was pretty cute, though he liked more soft-spoken women. it was probably easier to be so obnoxious in a game where your true identity was concealed. his lips stiffened at the thought. "that would be unfortunate." he replied, also looking down at the little dog-creature. irony told him this thing could probably hold its own... his attention shifted to phascomon. what was this one capable of? "mmh..." he hummed again, looking at the girl again. "you, uh..." he motioned around his ear, trying to let her know some of her hair had come loose. "your hair... just..." it bothered him that it was out of place. he didn't know how some girls could do that rolled-out-of-bed look, it irritated him.

nervous, awkwardly, his arm shook as it reached toward her to aid in putting the hair back, but he ultimately withdrew to stand helplessly staring at her. "your hair's out..." it probably wouldn't have bothered him if that's how it was when he met her. otherwise he wouldn't have known better--yet that it wasn't as it should be and the disorder irked him. "can you put it back?" he felt weird to have tried to do it for her on his own...

[kapella]

"Hm?" Her eyes met his as he attempted to tell her about her displacement. She stared with a curious expression on her face, tilting her head when he reached toward her. The motion made her blush and her heart raced a little bit - was he flirting? No, he pulled back and turned away. "Oh! Is it?" She reached up quickly to check and found that, yes, it indeed was falling out of the tie. She removed the tie completely and let her auburn locks fall around her face. "Is that better?"

[skull]

Rorukya felt like he was meeting a different person once she let her hair down. It took him aback, he had to let this new appearance sink in--she was really pretty, looking a lot less mature this way. a shy smile tugged at his frowning lips, wide eyes becoming rested in the sockets. "Uh, I guess so..." The boy murmured, self-consciously running his fingers through his own dark, brunette locks. Her eyes were so golden they seemed to glow like embers sparked from a fire. Cabbage-Roll sighed, glaring down at the ground. "Even though they have items that help heal, the digimon would still get hurt, wouldn't they?" He crouched to lower his level closer to the pup, "You'll just have to be strong, won't you?"
