▶ DESPERATE TIMES It's not Ascians this timeAt the very least, Gazimon understood how to work the tombstone… how, exactly, escaped Taiki, but then others had seemed to know it was a ‘Digivice’, instinctively, and once its functions were explained, Taiki had… struggled, with some of the more advanced options, but had managed at least to connect to the ‘network’. Which was like a Linkshell, only… more. Would wonders never cease. Some time after the gathering in which Sunflowmon had shared with the others the things he’d already asked about, he’d decided it was time to try some recruiting.
Hello, friends. My name is Taiki Unryu. I may have already spoken with a few of you, but I would, ultimately, like to get to know as many of you as I can. I am an adventurer by trade, to put it lightly, which means that I have learned a few different combative arts. In the wake of recent events, I am reaching out to you all because, while I have nothing but praise for my partner, and I’m sure many of you could say the same, there’s no reason we should operate alone. I’m looking for those among you who have seen combat before- ideally those of you who may have experienced this sort of threat before, though I recognize that is a very small pool indeed. We are only loosely associated at present, and I feel a more close-knit group with a reasonable understanding of each others’ strengths and weaknesses may prove to our benefit.
As to the nature of this ‘ALIAS’, I would also appreciate sharing information if any of you have encountered something similar.
▶ WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU FORGOT THE WINE What even is a 'meat apple'???At the very least, the sheer breadth of items available was impressive. Even the markets of Kugane paled in comparison in terms of variety- and certainly there were a number of items here that Taiki’d never seen before in his life.
”I still don’t get why you’re going to all this trouble. I mean, flour? Yeast? Why not just buy a friggin’ loaf of bread? Plus all the fabric…” Gazimon grumbled, but at the very least he was helping to push the cart. That had been a blessing, it turned out, because the housing they’d been given, generous as it was, was not terribly spacious or well-stocked. That, and it was some distance to the markets, and there was so much that Taiki wanted to try.
“Ah, yes, I could just purchase a loaf of bread, but why would I when for just a bit more I could have the supplies to make several dozen? It’s really very easy, I’ll have to show you some time. As to the fabric, well- I’m not certain if you’ve noticed, but I’ve only got three changes of clothes with me, and one of them’s a suit of armor. Hardly suitable for going about in the street- and I’d much rather wear something that fits me properly than whatever happens to be on the rack…” He considered that, for a moment. “I wouldn’t mind making something for you, too, Gazimon, if you’d like.”
The little digimon did a double-take. “What? Why?!”
Taiki smiled. “I’m not saying you should, or have to! Only that the option is there, if you’d like it. Clothing is but one means of self-expression- but if you’d prefer, I don’t mind sticking to a more familiar topic. Food, for instance!” He beamed, reaching into a display for what looked like… ham? “I can’t say I eat pork all that often, but if it’s so inexpensive here, I don’t see why we can’t have a little extra…”
”Pork? What’s a pork?”
There was a pause. “It’s- this is ham, isn’t it? No, I see it now, the shape’s all wrong… what animal does this come from?”
Gazimon stared up at his tamer with an expression of supreme concern. ”You alright there, bunnyboy? You’re actin’ like you’ve never seen a meat apple before. Granted, these ones’re pre-peeled…”
