Midnight Festival (closed)

[Faust]

He heard the sound of running water, that's what woke him up. In a daze he woke up seeing that it was already midday given the clock by his bedside. As he slowly made his way off of the bed he remembered something, that he wasn't alone and that he had brought someone back with him to his home. He smiled as he knew who it was, he had brought back Karisa with him. After their night on the town and all the fun they had he brought her here to eat, but as she passed out he just carried her to sleep. He was shocked to see that she had gotten up before him. Slowly making his way to the door he knocked on it. “Hey..... you want me to grab you a clean towel or two?”

OOC: Using Sapphire scarab

[Karisa]

Yawning softly she would sit in the shower as the water felt amazing. Her eyes would look around as shed then grab some shampoo and wash her hair. Softly she would hum and then hear someone speak. 'Faust?' she thought and chuckled face palming. 'Of course it is.' she thought to herself and then stopped the water. ''I..I already grabbed one, thanks though. Noneedtocomeinhere.'' she spoke fast in the end as she then grabbed the towel she was going to use to dry herself off. She kneeled and opened the suitcase up to grab her robe and stood by the mirror. She was afraid to be honest as she didn't carry an extra thing of wraps to body wrap her body. She's never shown her actual body shape to anyone besides one other person. Her eyes cornered to the door seeing that she locked it and then back at the mirror...unsure on what to do.

(Using Sapphire Scarab)

[Faust]

He laughed a bit when she said that there was no need to come into the bathroom. “Are you sure? I could help wash your back~” He said in a half teasing tone as he waited by the door. He had actually no intention of ever entering the bathroom with her in it. Sure he had noticed her body and she was attractive, but he knew better than anyone not to force something like that. Besides he knew that she had needles and knew how to use them. He wasn't about to risk being on the back end of her wrath. Though he had to admit it was a bit fun teasing her about things like this. After a few moments he would step away from the door heading into the kitchen to grab something to drink.

[Karisa]

Listening to him she heard him speak about washing her back making her blush a bright red. ''I-I don't need your help, B-baka.'' she spoke loud enough for him to hear in a flustered way. Her eyes looked away and mumbled a couple of words as she was still wrapped in a towel. She was afraid still to dress up without wraps so the only way for her to get any was for Naku to get some for her. ''Naaaaaaaaaaaaku.'' she whispered by the door. ''I-I'm out of my body wraps.'' she spoke with small tears in her eyes. ''Alright alright, I'm not delivery boy, but since I can hear you tearing like a child...'' he spoke and chuckled as he disappeared to go to the nearest place to steal some body wraps. Soon he came back and poked the door. ''Th-that's you right?'' she spoke and blushed. ''No, it's your worst nightmare.'' he said and chuckled again. She sighed and opened the door a little, grabbed the box and shut it again.

Quickly she would put on her body wrapping and went into her suitcase, grabbed clothes and put them on. Grabbing her brush she would put up her hair like normal and go out the door. Naku followed her and went towards the kitchen seeing Faust, but before she went fully in the kitchen she saw the TV on to see some commercial about a Festival. Her eyes glowed and went to the kitchen. ''Imma go there.'' she spoke and pointed to the TV commercial. ''Do you know what time it starts?'' she spoke as it already now passed to a new commercial.

[Faust]

He chuckled as she stated going to a festival in the digital world. “Yea I know what time it stats and where it is, but you're not going dressed like that.” He pointed at her choice in clothing. With a smile across his face and in a friendly tone he spoke again.“Not that you don't look good in that, but if you're going to a festival you're going in a yukata or a kimono.Come with me I know a shop nearby that sells a few cute ones you might like, oh but leave your digimon here. The owner of the place has something that messes with digimon. It's not pretty what happens to them in there.” He said those last words with a serious look on his face as if he wasn't kidding or messing around about that.

With that said he placed his katana on the counter top and walked over to the door waiting for her to follow him. “Oh, yea... um... I'd stick close to me the street I live on isn't the best." He opened the door to the outside and allowed her to see what he was talking about. He lived in the slums, right outside was a group of what looked like highschool hoodlums talking about something while smoking. A few feet away from his home there was a bum sitting on the ground drinking from a brown paper bag. Yet as bad as the street around his home looked, the area that was his home seemed clean and spotless.

[Karisa]

Nodding she frowned at Naku and hugged him once more. ''I'll call for you when I need you.'' she speaks and kisses her bestfriends forehead and smiles cheerfully. Weirdly he was worried and she didn't know why till she left the house with him. Her eyes looked around to see how it was outside. Honestly to her it seemed the total opposite of what she's use to. Living in a huge house that had a pool and everything that was needed and here...it was totally ghetto. It reminded her of her fathers job as to him always coming to places like these. He would always tell her to stay away from streets that looked like this as it was always surrounded by bad people. Her eyes would corner to look at Faust, 'Is he bad then?' she wondered and shook her head. 'No...maybe not as bad.' she thought again as she would glare forward and had the posture she had to do when she was around her father as a child. Looking forward she would see a somewhat nicer area which turned out the store. Running ahead of him she would go into the store and look around.

[Faust]

Running ahead of him was a bad idea given that when she entered the store she would run right into a gang of men harassing the shopkeeper. Each one of them at least six feet tall and covered with tattoos and a few scars one had a knife pulled out and while another had a metal baseball bat . They all turned to face her and one licked his lips as he saw her. They all had the same look in their eyes, they wanted her and they weren't about to take no for an answer.

The largest of the group walked right up to her and smiled. “Well looks like this is my lucky day. How about we take you out for some karaoke?” He would attempt to grab at her waist however his hand was stopped by Edward's grabbing it with his right hand while his left hand went to wrap around her stomach to pull her close to him With a stern look across his face he spoke “you guys have till the count of five before I get pissed off.” Two of the group chuckled at him before he snapped and broke the large man's wrist. “Five...” The man started to scream out in pain from his wrist being broken, the others looked at one another for a moment before stepping out of the shop eyeing him and her as they did so. When the last of them left he let go of the larger man and kicked him out the door.

He turned his attention back to Karisa and sighed, “I told you to stay close by, even the nicer streets around here have some issues ok.” He smiled at her before pulling his arm away from her so she could look around. 'Pick anything you like it's on me alright.”

[Karisa]

She giggled and went off anyways as she ignored on what happened. She could've taken care of herself although remembering the feeling of him touching her body that was wrapped felt really weird to her. She blushed a little thinking about it and went through the kimonos and yukatas. She saw some colorful ones, pretty designed ones, but none with both that were pretty designed and pretty colors as she then saw the perfect one. Her eyes glowed and picked it up. ''B-be right back!~'' she says loud enough and waved a little at Faust before going to the changing room. Walking to the changing room she would shut the curtains and door locking it. Her eyes looked at herself in the mirror as she undressed. She saw her wraps on her body as she could see where it was pressuring onto certain organs.

This was the cost...the cost she had engraved in her mind for beauty...

She shook her head as she then started to put it on and smiled as it fits. The colors were bright as it only had a couple and beautiful. Nodding she would take it off, get dressed again and walk out of the changing room. Her head looked around for Faust as she walked towards him. ''I'm going to pick this one.'' she tells him soothingly and nods to him. ''Now to wait for you and we can go back to those grounds.'' she spoke happily, waiting for him.

[Faust]

He simply nodded as he looked over at the shopkeeper, walking over to her he placed down a bit of cash and smiled. “Keeping the same company as always I see you crazy old bat. Either way I think this and me getting those guys out of your hair for a while will be enough for whatever she wants.” The old shopkeeper looked at him puzzled and snapped back at him “and I see you're still picking up whatever rift raft takes your fancy, so how long will you keep this one for?” He glared at the shopkeeper and sighed “it's not like that with her, I don't plan on abandoning her. Either way keep what I use to do from her got it.” The old shopkeeper simply laughed before noticing that his face was serious, “You're not kidding about that huh, oh has the big bad Ed gone soft? Hehehe I think I like this girl already.”

Their short conversation came to a stop when Karisa came out of the changing room with her choice in hand. Edward wrapped an arm around Karisa and smiled as he left the store with her in toe. Knowing that walking her back like this would be safer given he just scared off a few people and not dealt with them properly like normal. He would have a smile across his face as he walked back to his home.

[Karisa]

She would walk and be by Faust as she looked left and right at the guy and at him. She wondered what kind of conversation they were having as she blinked confused. Did she just walk into something? Was he having a secret conversation? Something within her told her that something was up...Sighing softly but having a smile on her face to pretend everything was fine she would walk along side with Faust back to his house. Karisa felt like asking questions later for that fact as she would then walk into the house after a couple moments. ''Should we get ready at the digi world?'' she asked as she walked in to then be welcomed by Naku would climbed up to her shoulder and looked at Faust chuckling.

Turning she would walk back and into the room grabbing her suitcase. ''Shall we go?'' she questioned once more and waited for his answer.

[Faust]

He simply smiled at her as he started to undress himself, “I need to change before we go.” He didn't care that he was right infront of her, he was going to change, mostly to tease her , but also because of habits. With his shirt off and his pants following suit he walked over to his closet and grabbed out a simple black and blue kimono from it. Changing into it rather quickly. “Sure, but change first and leave your suitcase here, after all it's a festival not a vacation.” He had no ill intent with her leaving her suitcase behind he just wanted her to not have to drag it all around. “You don't need to worry, my place is plenty safe.”

[Karisa]

Her eyes looked at him for a second as she wondered what the hell he was doing. Changing in front of her?! She blushed and turned away flustered as her face turned red. ''C-couldn't you have went to your r-room or something?'' she mumbles shyly as she then takes her kimono and goes to the bathroom to change. Closing and locked the door she would take off her clothing and leave the wraps on. Sighing softly she would put on her kimono, wrapped the sash and all that other good stuff. Sighing she would grab the other stuff she got from the kimono store and put her hair up. ''Alright...I think..I think I'm ready...'' she spoke softly and lowered her gaze as she went out of the bathroom. ''I..I think I'm ready...'' she spoke softly and looked away from him.

[Faust]

He didn't have any words for her when he first saw her step out of the bathroom dressed like that. “You look amazing... you really do.” There was no tone of flirting or teasing in his voice, it was just him actually saying what she looked like. He knew that she was pretty, but he had no idea that she would end up looking so great in a kimono. Taking a few steps towards her he held out his hand as he pulled out his digivice to enter the digital world. “Let's go.” He wondered if she would take his hand or not, but it didn't matter as the portal would lead them into the old grounds near the elysian grandstand as the festival would take place nearby but away from the stadium.

[Karisa]

She looked away shyly as she tried to tough it up from blushing. ''Th...Thanks.'' she speaks and then looks straight as she gave the sleeve for him to hold as she was kind of feeling off by holding his hand for some reason. Continuing on she would look forward as to see some lights from the festival already. They seemed like shapes of different digimon as they were paper lanterns flowing. ''It's...pretty.'' she spoke as her eyes glowed. Giggling she would drag him along as she would go further in. ''There's games, food and...'' she stopped for a moment as stopped walking. Her eyes lowered as she started to see how some had parents with them as kids played the games, cotton candy and some of the foods on a stick. A pain went into her chest as Karisa then tried to ignore it and continued. Her head turned and smiled. ''Where to?'' she questioned trying to get things off of her mind.

[Faust]

He was happy to at least hold her sleeve, it was something. While he wasn't one for festivals he was happy to see that she looked excited. Though when she stopped he looked at what she was looking at, from what he could tell it was just a family of digimon. Had she had a bad experience with those digimon or was it because they were a family? Questions he didn't know the answers to, but he knew he shouldn't ask. “Hmmm how about we get some drinks and a bit of food first then we can have fun playing the games with a little buzz going on.” He said calmly as he tugged on her sleeve towards where they were selling all sorts of liquor and food.
