Searching for Booze [Tune]

[Nicholas Hyde]

Tecton, the wandering city of merchants. If you wanted to find any old piece of junk that could have slipped under the radar (and didn't involve you going into the insane hellhole that was the Dark Area), this was the place to be. Digimon roamed the dusty streets, heading from one vendor to another, seeking out their own wares. Through the crowds, a tall man in white stumbled along, accompanied by a pair of Pawn Chessmon. At a glance, one might wonder if the man was alright, but then they would see the empty flask in his hand, and it suddenly became clear.

"Sir," Weiss, the white Pawn Chessmon spoke up, "Perhaps you should sober up before trying to buy anything." The tall man shook his head. color=grey]"No can do. I'm here to buy some booze, and if I get sobered up before finding it, well, that just defeats the purpose of getting drunk, now does it? Besides, I heard there was some pretty good hooch around here somewhere. Just gotta find it."[/color] "Well, there's got to be a bar around here somewhere." the black Pawn Chessmon, Sable, spoke up, "We'll just find one and keep on drinking." Hyde shook his head. "Not good enough. I heard there was some really, really good booze here somewhere, and I don't care what I have to do to find it!" Weiss sighed. This was going to be a long day.

After meeting that boy in the jungle, Zo had managed to hitch another ride. This time, however, she was taken from the jungle and plains to the desert. As she sat on the back of the large Digimon's cart as it took her across the desert, Zo tightly held her bag and the egg inside of it. So far, the Digital World seemed so bizarre. Everything was different yet similar to the real world, and it could be somewhat disorienting. Eventually, the apparent merchant Digimon came to a stop in a city of large tents and merchant stands. Zo would slide from the back of the cart and give a soft bow of the head in thanks. ”Gracias!” With that, she would turn to go explore the new city. As she walked along, something caught her eye. There were two little knight like Digimon. They looked like little kids in costumes, and they were absolutely adorable. Gulping, Zo approached them silently as she took out her phone. She'd crouch down next to them and begin to snap pictures of them as they spoke. They were adorable! They looked like little knight robots! She needed pictures of them.

"Hey listen, buddy, do you know where I can-no, I'm not interested in that vase. Listen -hic- I'm just looking for some-get that damn fish out of my face!" So far the search for this mythical booze was not going as well as Hyde was hoping. This place seemed to sell everything under the sun, except the one thing he was after alcohol! Surely someone must know where the good stuff is. And Hyde was not willing to buy someone's junk to get the information. The drunk scientist was almost tempted to starting swinging his gun around.

However, before things could get crazy, there was a distinct clicking sound. The sound of what could only be a camera phone. Hyde, Weiss and Sable blinked and looked over to see a young red haired girl with her phone, snapping pictures of them. More specifically, pictures of the two Pawn Chessmon. "Can...I help you?" Hyde asked, raising an eyebrow. Before he could take a step towards her though, he was suddenly cut off by Sable. "Wait boss, can't you see this is one of our fans?" And by 'our', she clearly meant her and Weiss, since they were the ones getting the pictures. The black Pawn Chessmon immediately started posing for the camera, Weiss resisting the urge to face palm. "Pease forgive her," the white Pawn Chessmon spoke to her, "She can get like this whenever cameras are around."

Zo seemed blissfully unaware of the tall man with black hair as he ranted on about something with a merchant apparently. She honestly wasn't too sure. The two adorable armored digimon were enough to keep her distracted. As the man spoke to her, she stared up at him blankly before speaking. ”¿Qué?” she asked before looking back down to the digimon she was crouched in front of. As the Digimon spoke, she nodded along excitedly. For some reason, Zo could understand what Digimon said, but not what other humans who didn't speak Spanish said. The Digimon's words seemed to translate easily. It was probably how they could have partners from all around the world. ”¡Si! ¡Soy un fan! ¡Un fan grande!” she hummed happily while grinning widely and continuing to snap pictures of the now posing Digimon. As the other apologized, she laughed happily. ”¡Está bien! Estoy recibiendo buenas fotos!”

Hyde raised an eyebrow as the girl immediately began speaking in Spanish. Oh dear, this was turning into one of those moments. For all his genius, languages was not something Hyde had dappled in. After all, Digimon could understand any language, and their words immediately translated so anyone could understand them. It sometimes made Hyde forget that there were other languages out there.

Thankfully, Hyde didn't need to learn Spanish. "What did she say?" he asked Weiss as Sable was too busy hamming it up. "She says she's a big fan sir," the white Pawn Chessmon replied, "And that she's getting good photos." "Damn right she is," Sable replied, striking more poses, "Finally getting the recognition we deserve. Come on Weiss, join in on this!" The small white Digimon sighed as he moved to join his sister, leaving the tipsy tamer standing back. "Hey, ask her if she knows where any booze is," Hyde spoke up. Weiss looked back at him with an incredulous look. Well. As incredulous as one could get when they're wearing a visor. "I think she's underaged sir." "She's also Spanish. I'm sure she knows where seem good tequila is around here." Weiss sighed and turned to the young photographer. "My tamer wants to know if you know where he can find some alcohol. He's run out."

Zo's smile grew as the small armored digimon did her best to put up good poses for her pictures. Her eyes would shift to the white Armored digimon as he spoke. He was clearly translating her words for his tamer. When the black one spoke, Zo nodded firmly with a wide grin. ”¡Le dices!” she laughed out. When the second Digimon joined in, she cheered happily and inched closer to get better shots. When she heard one of the digimon say something about her being under aged, Zo's head tilted to the site. Why would her age relate to anything? At the mention of alcohol, Zo shook her head. "Yo no bebo. Yo no conozco a nadie que lo vende. Incluso si lo hiciera bebida, yo acabo de llegar aquí. No sé dónde están las cosas."

"She says she doesn't drink, and that she just got here." Weiss translated back to Hyde. The lanky tamer let out an annoyed sigh. Well dammit, no booze coming from that source. And by 'just got here', he most likely believed that she had just entered the digital world for the first time. She didn't seem to have a partner either. Was she one of those spirit tamers? Or hadn't she found her partner yet? "Well then, let's get going. Any longer and I'm going to sober up and this whole trip is going to be a waste," he said as he turned to leave.

Sable and Weiss turned to their tamer. "What about her sir?" Weiss gestured to the spanish girl. The tall tamer turned and glanced back at her. If she indeed was missing a partner, then leaving her alone might not be such a good idea. Even during the best of times, the digital world was a dangerous place. And even now, times were starting to turn bad. Unconsciously, he brought a hand up to the eyepatch covering his left eye. "If she wants to come with us, then she's free to," he said, before turning to keep walking. Sable gave a small cheer. "Come in then!"[/color] she said happily, taking her hand and guiding her along. "Oh, I forgot. I'm Sable, my brother is Weiss, and the tall, lanky drunk is Hyde."

Zo would slide her phone into her bag as the small knight creature spoke translated that she didn't speak English and was new. Her eyes drifted up to watch as the man let out a clearly annoyed sigh. He really wanted a drink, huh? The girl rested her hands on her knees as she watched the three. If Hyde looked closely, he'd notice that there was a Digimon egg nestled in her bag. Her eyes shifted as the man seemed to be turning to go. The female digimon asked what her tamer was going to do about her, and Zo blinked. What about her? Did she really merit such a comment? As the man turned to look at her, she realized for the first time that he wore an eye patch. Zo's face turned into one of annoyance at the sight. The eye patch reminded her of the girl from her first day here. Sighing, she shook her head and leaned up to stand. Judging from everyone's reactions, he seemed to be okay with her tagging along. As the digimon introduced themselves, Zo nodded and happily did so as well. ”Ah! Yo soy Zo!”

"Well, pleased to meet you Zo," Sable spoke up cheerfully, leading the red haired girl along as they followed Hyde, the tall drunk looking around for anywhere that might be selling booze. The place was bustling, but thankfully they managed to keep in sight of eachother. As Weiss was making sure their tamer didn't wander off on them, Sable was busy chatting with her new friend. "So, what brings you to the digital world? How long have you been here? It's a bit strange to see a human wandering around by themselves. Have you found a partner yet?" Sable was just abuzz with questions. If there was anything that could be said about the black Pawn Chessmon, it was that she was filled with curiosity. That's probably why she got along so well with her tamer. She always wanted to see what his crazy experiments caused.

There was suddenly a loud cheer and all eyes would turn to Hyde, who was taking off towards a vendor with a number of very suggestive bottles on display. It didn't take a genius to figure out what Hyde believed the place to be. Weiss sighed, looking at his twin. "I'll go with him, make sure he doesn't do anything we regret." He turned to follow him, somewhat dejected. Sable tugged on Zo's sleeve. "Let's go watch. You know it's going to be fun when the boss is hammered."

”Ah, es un placer conocerte demasiado!” she hummed happily to the small digimon while following the trio. Her eyes would shift up to eye the man. His outfit matched his Digimon- black and white attire that left little of his figure to the imagination. She had actually briefly considered that he was a woman she saw his face and chest. His long black hair was somewhat interesting, as she had never seen a guy with such sleek hair. She wondered what kind of shampoo he used... ”Ah, me quedé en medio de una computadora!” she explained with a sigh. "He encontrado un huevo, pero no he tenido mucha suerte con un compañero. Alguien me dijo que es probable que sea mi pareja, pero es frustrante ya que no ha eclosionado todavía!" she explained before crossing her arms with a firm nod. ”Eh? Está borracho?” she hummed curiously as Sable tugged onh er sleeves. She'd nod firmly. ”Eso suena como la diversión de ver. De vuelta a casa, un montón de chicos borrachos siempre salta en plazas de toros y eso siempre es divertido ver!"

"Ah, I see," Sable looked at the girl's pack, finally noticing the egg inside of it, "It shouldn't be long before it hatches. Having a partner around is always handy. Heck, I don't know where Hyde would be if it weren't for me and Weiss," though her visor never showed her face (if Pawn Chessmon indeed had faces) and one could tell she was grinning. As she led him over to the vendor that Hyde was having a rather heated discussion with, the small digimon laughed at her words. "Yeah, you wouldn't tell at times. Hyde's what you'd call a 'functioning alcoholic'. But yeah, if humans jump in to fight bulls when they get drunk, you should see what Hyde does when he's drunk. I have stories to tell you for days!"

As they approached the vendor, Hyde was holding up a bottle of, something, and having a rather heated discussion with the vendor, a Bachemon. "Listen you floating bedsheet, I can tell you now, this is NOT Bacchusmon's personal stuff!" Judging by the fact that the cork on the bottle was missing, Hyde had taken a swig to test the ghost digimon's claim. He was not happy with the result. "That doesn't matter!" the ghost digimon retorted, clearly agitated, "You drank it, you bought it!" "I am not paying 500 bits for this bottle of lies!" Off to the side, Weiss was looking highly exasperated. Thank goodness it was a fraud. They wouldn't have the bits to pay for it if the drink was genuine. The white Pawn Chessmon looked to Zo and Sable for help, all the while the black digimon was giving the Spanish girl commentary on what was happening.

Zo nodded along as they spoke of how useful a partner was. It certainly sounded like it. Her eyes would shift from the egg to the two smaller Digimon curiously. She wondered what kind of Digimon would hatch from her egg. Would it be something similar to the two small Digimon next to her? Their armor looked so tiny and adorable... Zo wouldn't mind that. Of course, there was also the chance it'd be like... slimy or something. She'd smile brightly and clap her hands together. ”No puedo esperar a ver lo que el huevo se rompe en!” she spoke, grinning widely. As they came to Hyde, who was effectively arguing with another Digimon, Zo smiled weakly. ”Ah, él es ciertamente... lleno de energía, ¿verdad?” she hummed softly. As Sable explained that he was functioning alcoholic, Zo blinked. ”Eh!? ¿Está bien para tomar algo por el estilo tan a la ligera?” she asked in a concerned tone. Zo watched the argument silently, blinking softly before speaking bluntly. ”Eh... esto es una especie de vergüenza para las dos partes implicadas... ”

At Zo's concern about Hyde's alcoholism, Sable looked at the ground sheepishly. "Well, it's a bit complicated. Hyde's been through a lot of...stuff..." The Digimon looked over, looking at the eyepatch that covered Hyde's left eye and sighed. Then Zo spoke up about the situation and Sable laughed.

The Bakemon seemed to hear as he turned towards them. "What was that?" Hyde, though not understand what she said, glanced over at Weiss. "What did she say?" "She said you're both embarrassing eachother sir." It was at that point that both noticed that others were watching the argument as well. Both Digimon and man glanced over at eachother. "Fine, I'll only charge you half for the bottle," the Bakemon said. "Ten bits. That's about as much as this watered down lie is worth." The Bakemon was about to object, reigniting the conversation, but then paused. Letting out a sigh, he seemed to visibly deflate. "Fine!" Hyde smirked as he slapped the bits on the counter. "Doesn't it feel good to be honest?" Hyde commented before walking away, reapproaching the group.
