Hymn for the missing (past thread)

[Kaiyo Matsuki]

feel the light shining in the dark of the night

Kaiyo had been in the Digital World for about two months now. She lived alongside her partner, Aster, during that time.  At first, everything seemed to go fine. Aster could take care of his tamer easily. They had a place to sleep, to hang out. But the bits were hard to get and the duo soon ran out of bits, forcing them out on the streets.  The six year old girl sat beside a dumpster, chewing on the remains of what looked like an apple. Her partner stood in front of her, his face kind of grim. This wasn't how he imagined going through life.  "Aster?" Her voice broke the train of guilt that was going through the rookie. As he looked at his tamer, he noticed she was holding out the apple to him.  "You can have it." She told him with a small voice. Aster took the rather naked apple, it was brown with pieces of dirt on it. The Galdramon flung it away, into the dumpster.  "Hey!" His tamer exclaimed while jumping up. The way his tamer now stood on her tippy-toes to look inside the dumpster made the digimon want to cry.  "No.. Kaiyo I.." He really didn't want to tell her what he was thinking about, but there was no other option, was there?  They were two hungry individuals, fighting to survive. Besides, he saw digimon take stuff all the time.  The Galdramon took Kaiyo's hand, guiding her out of the alley they were hiding in.  "Where are we going?" She asked him, earning a sympathetic look from Aster. "Just trust me.." The digimon replied, as they stood out of the streets in Terabyte City. "Always." Kaiyo replied. People were shopping, some were carrying large bags with what looked like grocery items.  "Okay, Kaiyo." Aster said, turning to look at the little girl. "I want you to walk into that man. Distract him as much as possible. Then come back home." He said, pointing at a young boy. The little girl only turned her head at Aster. "Why?" "B-because.. uh.. he looks lonely and needs someone to talk to." Aster lied, Kaiyo nodded. "He does look lonely. Okay, Aster-san." Kaiyo released Aster's claw and immediately took off running into the boy.  Aster saw his cue and simply followed Kaiyo, and as his tamer was distracting him, the digimon quickly snatched the boy's wallet.  Aster held the wallet to his chest before sneaking back into the alley and hiding behind the dumpster. It didn't take long before Kaiyo came back skipping. She was holding a piece of bread. "Look Aster-san, the man gave this to me." Immediately, the rookie felt guilty for stealing the boy's wallet.  Alexiel Revarius  ■ WORD COUNT:467  ■ NOTES: Hope you like it

Welcome to Terabyte City! It was still into Alexiel’s first month in the Digital World, and while there were still plenty of things he hadn’t yet figured out, at least he wasn’t the lost soul he had been when he first arrived. He had his new 'partners' to thank for that - as much as they called themselves 'young' or 'inexperienced', they were brilliant tour guides. Even if they weren’t the most knowledgable, they knew who to talk to, who to find. Whenever they couldn’t explain something to him, either because they didn’t know, or because they simply couldn’t phrase it in a way he’d understand, they’d always find a way to make sure he’d get it. They wouldn’t give up - and he was grateful for that. They helped him. So it was the least he could do to pay them a visit daily, and care for them as best he could. "So this is the great 'Terabyte City' you’ve been telling me about, huh?" Alexiel hummed, gazing at his surroundings. His eyes were alight with excitement and curiosity, and the beginnings of a smile teased at his lips. The other cities were nothing compared to this - Terabyte was truly the largest settlement in the whole Digital World. It was huge…and simply breathtaking for a newcomer like himself. "Oh, wow…" Alexiel felt like a child in a candy store, sorely tempted to run around and explore every inch of the city…But he wouldn’t, not with the way he was brought up - that’d hurt his pride a little too much for his taste. So instead he opted to walk around with his twin partners, admiring the tall buildings and street stalls that the city had to offer. That would be enough to sate his curiosity for now. "Ooooh, hey, tamer! Have you seen Lillymon’s stall yet? It’s really pretty, filled with bouquets and tons of flowers and everything!" If Alexiel hadn’t known better, he’d had already bought into Leila’s ploy of getting him to buy some flowers for her. Innocent as she seemed, the female Tokomon had quite the ability to get others to do what she wanted. Once, a few days after meeting the pair, Alexiel remembered distinctly how she had gotten a Wingdramon to buy the trio some snacks. It was…frightening, to say the least, seeing someone so young show such skill in manipulation. "Hmph, flowers are nothing…They don’t have any practical use, other than to make things look pretty. I’d say that if we had to buy anything, it’d be food - the bread Burgamon makes is always good. It’s also a better waste of money." Well, Vesper had a point there. If there was anything Alexiel would spend their bits on, it’d be something that would prove of use to them. Although they did have enough to splurge a little here and there, he’d still liked to save them whenever he could. "Hm, Leila…I would have to-" Before he could finish what he was going to say, however, a young human girl had run up to them…or more precisely, into Alexiel. It was by pure luck he hadn’t fallen over from the shock and impact. "H-hey, kid, be careful, alright? You could end up hurting yourself…or others!" It was a near effortless slip to his worrisome, awkward yet friendly persona as he placed a hand on the girl’s shoulder, steadying both himself and her. "Whatcha doing here, hm? You look quite young…Where are your parents? Or erm…Digimon Partner?" As he’d come to know, humans who came to the Digital World always tended to end up with a partner…unless, as Vesper had called them, they were 'spirit users'…whatever that meant. "W-wait…a-are you alright?" Worry laced his voice as he took in the girl’s appearance - she looked thin, unnaturally so, and her clothes were dirty, disheveled. That wasn’t right. "Oooh, does little girly want some food? Lexie! Get her some food!" Leila’s request as she bounced up and down on the spot sounded more like an order than anything, and in her high-pitched voice of hers, it made the noble laugh. In a way, the Tokomon was rather…cute. "Alright, alright…Here, little one…Sorry it’s not much." Alexiel reached into his bag, pulling out a ziploc containing a loaf of bread. With a soft smile he gave it to the girl, ziploc and all - after all, he could always buy more. "Take care, ok…?" Then she ran off, and the young tamer looked on after her with that never-fading smile of his, only taking his eyes off a little after her leaving to turn to Leila who was busy trying to nibble on his shoe. It was only after he had gently pushed her away did he noticed that two certain things was missing…"Hey, where’s my wallet? …And where did Vesper go to?" ———— He had seen what looked like a small bipedal dragon snatch something from Alexiel, and granted, he should have followed the digimon, but when Alexiel spoke to the girl… his attention had been diverted, and when he returned his gaze to where that digimon once was, he was gone. But the Tokomon had his suspicions about the digimon being with the girl - after all, it had shown up when that girl had conveniently bumped into Alexiel. Couldn’t be a coincidence, or at least that’s what he thought. So when the girl left, he followed, completely ignoring the fact that Alexiel was too busy with Leila to notice his departure. If the tamer couldn’t keep up, then so be it. They’d find him later anyways…they always would. "Look Aster-san, the man gave this to me." Peeking out from behind…well, the other side of the dumpster - ew, it stunk - Vesper saw the digimon again, with the girl with him. Aha! He knew the two were in cahoots with each other, it was just so easy to guess! But the question was if he had seen right that the digimon had stolen something from Alexiel… Otherwise he’d look like a big fool. But! If he didn’t try anything, then if the digimon had stolen something…they’d get away! He couldn’t have that…even though there were a lot of 'if’s. "Hey!" So he gathered up his courage, bounded from his little hiding spot… and almost crashed into the wall opposite. But he shook it off, jumping and turning around to face the pair. "So…" Well, he couldn’t really outright just shout 'did you steal something?!', now could he? "Are you two going to be able to handle yourselves?" Well, it wasn’t like it wasn’t a warranted question. The two did seem to have a little… problem with the way they were living. We hope to see you again!

Kaiyo staggered from the impact as her body collided with the one of Alexiel, luckily the boy had managed to place a hand on her shoulder so she would catch her balance. “Oh- um..” She stammered shyly. Aster told her to distract this boy, right? She didn’t know why, but Aster was her only friend in the Digital World. And he took care of her when others didn’t. She’d have to trust him, right? “G- gomenasai.” She said with an insecure tone. She didn’t understand a lot of what the boy had told her, but she did make up the words ‘careful’ and hurting someone. Of course, this was all part of the act. She knew a little bit of English to get around, thanks to Aster. The girl looked a little confused as the boy was asking what she was doing here, hell, even she didn’t know what she was doing here. Who in the world knew what their obligation was? “Uh.. uh..” She stammered once again, trying her best to look like she had trouble with finding out what the boy had told her. She suddenly stood up straight, as if she finally understood what the boy told her. “Um. Aster?” She said, looking around for any signs of the Galdramon. Then she saw that he was approaching them so she had to turn her head back to Alexiel. It was then that the boy noticed how awful she looked, like she had been neglected of some sorts. However before she could react one of the boy’s digimon started speaking to her, and she bent through her knees to pet the Tokomon. “Kawaiiii..” She murmured with an amused smile. She had no idea digimon could be this cute, of course Aster was cute in his own way. But he’d never get THIS cute. The boy then proceeded to grab around in his bag and pulled out a ziploc. Kaiyo got curious for a moment. At this point Aster already snatched the boy’s wallet elegantly. The Galdramon didn’t know that the male Tokomon had already discovered his scheme. “Oh!” Kaiyo exclaimed as the boy handed her the piece of bread. “A-arigatou gozaimasu.” This was going better than expected. She didn’t know what Aster did, but they finally had something to eat! Accidently Kaiyo nodded as the boy said that she should take care. Which probably looked like she knew English after all. After the little girl skipped back to the alley where she was supposed to meet Aster, she noticed the grim look on her partner’s face. “What’s with the sad face?” She asked, and Aster was about to reply before a voice beamed up from the streets. Aster stifffened while Kaiyo turned and smiled the biggest smile she could manage. “Oh, ohayo gozaimasu!” She told the Tokomon, mistaking him for his sister. Aster jumped up and pushed his tamer back. This wasn’t her fault that they got caught. But before Aster could even try and take off running the Tokomon asked if they going to be able to handle themselves. The Galdramon blushed, holding Alexiel’s wallet behind his back. Kaiyo saw this and frowned. “Aster-san?” She asked, looking a little confused before finally she understood what happened. Aster stole the wallet. From that kind boy that gave them this loaf of bread. The Galdramon turned his head in shame. “I had to, Kaiyo..” He whispered, before turning to the Tokomon with a straight face. “Right, um. Thank you for the bread. It’s really appreciated.” He tried to look as casual as possible, with his claw behind his back. “I’m just.. trying to take care of my tamer, you see.” He told the Tokomon, in hopes it would bring up some sympathy. “My tamer isn’t allowed to work, and they don’t really hire digimon without some experience. So we were thrown out of our house. We’ve been living near this dumpster for about a month now.” He looked at Kaiyo, before turning to the Tokomon once more. “It’s really appreciated that there are kind souls here that would give up their own food to save someone’s life.” Alexiel Revarius  ■ WORD COUNT:685  ■ NOTES: Hope you like it

Welcome to Terabyte City! Ah, the girl was strange. But having seen the digital world, Alexiel guessed anything could happen. He couldn’t jump to conclusions now, lest his guess was wrong. But he had an inkling suspicion she was homeless… Or maybe she just liked camping or playing outdoors - hey, it could happen! But Alexiel wouldn’t know, he was never allowed to play with the other kids. 'Too unsightly' or something along those lines. And the last he tried to do so…he was locked in his room for days, with a butler that reported directly to his parents tailing his every move. He cared too much for his freedom to risk losing it again, for something as petty as playing with the other kids. Besides, he had gotten hurt, and if that was all that came about from playing with them… then so be it. It was an activity he’d gladly skip. (Yes, he’s been told he’s just in denial, but would he really ever accept that as a fact?) After all, the time was wisely spent on other forms of entertainment - picking up languages for example. If he had known initially that the girl seemed to preferred Japanese, he would have used it. But, oh well, she did seem to understand him. So no biggie, right? He was curious as to what she meant by, 'Aster', however. She seemed a little flustered as she said it…though that nervousness seem to fade immediately when she bent down to pet Leila, who was more than glad about the action. In fact, Alexiel was sure he heard her purr. It was a heart-warming sight, though he could have appreciated it if Leila didn’t seem to get attached. She was nibbling on his shoe with a pleased look on her face as the little girl ran off, and had to nerve to to tell him, "Good boy! See, I knew you had a heart!" Of course, she was promptly shaken off gently -Alexiel kinda liked his partners in all actuality- and was forgotten near immediately in favour of finding her brother and his wallet. Thankfully, Leila seemed to always know where he was. ————— Vesper gave the girl a quick…bow, or tried to at least. It was his way of greeting her, especially since he wasn’t too sure on what to say to her cheerful good morning. Though er, that digimon at her side did play a part in his whole 'can’t say anything’ dilemma. The dragon, and rookie by the looks of it, stunned him. This was the first he’s seen such a digimon, and it was simply astounding. However, now was no time to be in a state of jaw drop! He had something he came here to do, after all. "Oh yeah, where were you when she ran off, dude? You’re her partner, right? Aren’t you supposed to stay by her side at all times? It’s dangerous for such a young child to be on the streets alone!" Did he sound worried enough? Alexiel was the one good at keeping up appearances, and trailing behind him was Leila. Vesper had no skill in it, and constantly struggles whenever he had to act in some other way than what he actually felt. For example, now, when he dug his own grave by hypocritical. "Er yeah, I have to get back to my tamer soon, but I told him to stay put and I can handle myself, so…" A quick cough to hide his rising embarrassment, and Vesper was glad that he was a pink, fluffly four-legged mammal. It hid his light blush quite well. "But yeah, anyway, welcome. My tamer’s rather…nice in that aspect. Besides…it’s just food, and my sister and I can get our own, and our tamer can get his from his own world - which is curious. Your tamer seems a little worse for wear as someone with ties to Earth, and so do you. She can always bring back things from her world to help life here, ya know." Sure, he felt a little bad the pair was having a rough time, but he was curious as to why. After all, what he said was true - humans always had a way to get back to Earth, and they could always bring back stuff from their world. It was a reason why the trio didn’t spend much bits; Alexiel got what they needed from his home and brought it over. Sure it took several trips to and fro sometimes, but he always made sure that Vesper and Leila got what was needed for a comfortable day ahead. We hope to see you again!
