This was Asuramons corner. She never knew what occurred in the basement of Pictos Photography. Only knew that according to Asuramon it ‘wasn't her business’ to know. She imagined covert meetings. Imagined nefarious underground deals that occurred in dramas. But now it was too late to even try to ask or piece the story together. The red Closed sign hung out in front of the deserted building. Another story that ended. She gazed inside, closer than she ever been to the door but saw no clue to what occurred behind. The tingle in her throat caused her to scramble for a hankercheif as she was hit with a coughing fit. When the fit finally subsided she lifted a pill bottle from her bag. Some sort of ‘advanced’ medicine provided by a dead drop from Noah. It sounded really fancy and very expensive but the instructions told her to ‘take them as needed'. Her lungs felt a little bit better, but she still spoke with a bit of a rasp.

If she kept down the road she would be home. But the dead drop also had a bit of loose change. Quite a bit of loose change… more money than she ever saw in her life actually. She managed before with the jobs she received enough for rent and a little extra for budgeted food, but she never had MONEY. So, first stop was the bank, before she got mugged! She felt a bit ‘naked’ without her tazer and without Wormmon. Leaving her vita behind to be ‘upgraded’ was risky but she knew the spots with the friendlies, so, so long as she kept to those and stayed indoors shed be ok for a few days.

"Hey there princess!" And she was suddenly reminded why she didn't like going this way! "Etamon? H-hey" Shiba rasped as pleasantly as she could as the ‘artist’ slapped their newest bit of junk masterpiece into her hands pulling her into a shoulder hug. It was ‘101’ for an unauthorized vita user to not interact with digimon but she blatantly ignored the taboo. Honestly she would prefer to be perceived as crazy than actually go insane from a lack of interaction. "This is it gorgeous! Mah ticket to stardom! Mah greatest masterpiece and latest star CARVED from the very essence of mah core!" She WANTED to leave. She also knew how fragile his feelings were so she grit and bore it. "Better than your-" she paused a moment expecting a coughing fit, then after a moment finished her sentence "-old album?" She listened to etamons 'last' masterpiece… It was ‘ok’, a little bit of discordant digital noise slapped against heavy metal. Not as good as Andromons classical techno fusion and honestly she wished the digimon would have more faith in their talents-she was getting distracted.

"GALAXIES APART! UNIVERSES! A COLLABERATION THAT’LL SHAKE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD!" Shiba finally looked at who was on the cover… dang, he roped Omekamon into this… their drawings were getting MUCH better! "That's incredi-!" and THERE it was! She felt so embarrassed as she entered a coughing fit. Fortunately Etamon didn't seem to care. Or even ask WHY she was literally hacking up her lungs. He wasn't a doctor… the agumon expert on the edge of Mill was. "-ble… sorry" Shiba was ready to leave as the orange hand obstructed her path forward. This was her least favorite part of her interactions with Etamon she knew he was a struggling artist but if she didn't know any better she would call this ‘extortion’! "Uhuhuh as ya know princess, as my loyal fan and patron it is your continued contributions fuel my glorious rise to stardom!" She always felt guilty she never had much in the way of tips to give the struggling artist…

She had MONEY now! Maybe she could actually contribute to his ‘rising star’ and not give the poor mon a pittance for something they put a lot of work into. "Here you cough go!" Etamons veiled threat vanished as the digimon accepted the suckers latest donation! "Much obliged princess! When I hit the stage I'll give you a call out to my ravin fans!"

Etamon had to laugh at himself as the woman left! Throw some junk on a CD call it a masterpiece, and get some pocket change! He loved that loop but his laughter subsided to actual fear when he realized the stack he was just handed-! The absurd amount of CONNECTED MOB BLOOD MONEY he was just given!

… This corner was NOT safe for him anymore.

Shiba felt like she did a good deed today! But knew she probably shouldn't splurge anymore. She didn't know when her next job would come through and she couldn't rely on Noah's charity to get her through a tough spot. This money had to last her. Unfortunately temptation was fickle as she walked by a particular shop. ABI had always been THE destination! She never could afford anything there but she always went there with her-

It hit her again, that her friends were gone. That they were dead, went away, or have forgotten she was ever there. The dissonance that she was gone while everything pulled her towards a dark place. She was going to move on. But she stepped inside. She already spent money on etamon so… it was only right if she got something nice for her partner! ABI had the best fashions in the city! And gosh did they know it with their prices! Looking at cost of things made her think she was like one of those silly rich ladies that dropped absurd amounts of money on accessories for their dogs. She was hit with a wave of guilt for briefly considering her partner as a designer pet.

Speaking of which. Her gaze kept skipping to another digimon in the shop watching her maybe she worked here! Digimon were much better than security cameras. And Shiba did one of the dumbest things she could do in the worst place she could do it. She politely waved at them.

Cutemon were so adorable with their little headphones and their little scarfs! She breifly wondered how Wormmon look with a little scarf? And the thought made her smile dumbly! Whatever sense of self preservation had stopped her from addressing the digimon directly as she continued to peruse the shelves constantly stealing glances at the adorable digimon.

                                                                        User Image


                                                                        It had been a rather slow day since Aime was working in the back on some projects for the next line. Luckily today he didn’t have any work for Rina so he could just focus on his art. That would change in the next couple of days since dues were coming up. Cutemon though was happy that he got to work on what he wanted. Rina had been sending him on less clients since the party, which worried the designer. Sure dues kept things afloat, but without a chokehold on the new businesses of the city how did she expect to stay above water?

                                                                        The two of them would not complain about downtime through. She child level digimon was sitting on the counter with one of the workers stocking and rearranging some of the display pieces. They had to make everything look perfect, otherwise her partner would make them question their entire existence. She thought that he was a little too cruel with them sometimes, but he told her that if they did not set an expectation they’d be no better than a Nordstrom. And he was not going to be on the same level as basic chain department store.

                                                                        He did pay them well though, so at least there was that. Cutemon’s attention had shifted to the door as the bell rang. She assumed it was just a tourist who had seen the shop in a magazine or online. Mainly the child digimon noticed that the woman did not look like their normal clientele. What took her by surprise though was when she made eye contact and waved. The digimon’s ears bounced up as she looked shocked. The tiny digimon scrambled to compose herself as she waved back nervously.

                                                                        Cutemon noticed she was glancing around the shop and looking through the shelves. The staff had greeted the woman when she entered. But she was locked in on the clothes. The pink rabbit hopped up on the counter and ran over to the other side leaning into the woman to see what she was looking at. Not being subtle at all. She sniffed as she got close to the woman. The woman smelled... metallic? It was hard to pinpoint why, but maybe she did some kind of work with metal? Why was she shopping here?

                                                                        The pink digimon leaned back and pointed at the item she was holding. “That one is very pretty, but I don’t think it’s your color.” She smiled as she looked up at her. Still even standing on the marble countertop she was still under the woman’s eyes level.

Shiba survived the first pass of the staff by virtue of seeming like she knew what she was shopping for. Sometimes a celebrity would dress down to not be bothered. And she was nailing ‘forgettable’ to a science. But the second Shiba showed real hesitation was the second they swarmed.

She was not used to this! She briefly wondered if they were some of those new androids with how rigid they were but no! They were humans! Molded! Perfected! And probably broken!

"Welcome!" "How may I help?" "You made it." She was a fool! A complete fool! She thought this place would be like a Nordstrom! She'd walk in, see something nice, go to the counter to some tired young soul and then leave. But she was swarmed! Swarmed by a horde of employees on a very slow day whose job it was to MAKE SURE they maximized the profit of the store and ensure she walked out with what she ‘needed’. And a few other pieces she didn't.

Swift pleasantries aside and she found she was the catalyst of a perfect storm. It was a slow day, she was very agreeable, her ‘fashion’ was from a box store, and she ACTUALLY wanted to buy something!

"Sara do you not think this ‘completes you'" Shibas hands lifted up to touch the airy piece of fabric but Veronica saw the customers hands! Convenience store polish! No lotion! Jobber! With an expert flourish she subtly whisked it to the edge as the hobo went to feel it "I-i mean it looks v-verry nice but *cff* my names:-" Tasha took over whisking the shawl away Shiba felt a little disappointed but also grateful she wouldn't even know how to wear that. How could a shawl be so complicated? "Veronica, precious darling that shawl would never last with such a rugged individual, wouldn't you agree Betty?" "My names not... I-i mean it does l-look nice but my name is-" Tasha was not going to let Veronica do this to her again! She was getting rid of this damn shawl! "You see! Clara here ‘deserves’ a small oasis of worth regardless of her occupation" With expert and clean movements Veronica draped the article on the disaster's shoulders and… nope… nope… not chic! She failed! "I-i don't really w-wear s- *cff* shawls" Shiba barely internalized ‘how’ she was supposed to wear the thing as a massive burly man removed it from her. Veronica and Tasha thanked Steven for his 'sacrifice' "And you shouldn't with ‘those’ shoulders" She didn't know that somebody so massive could move so smoothly. There was a clear dissonance from her mind and her feet as she was moved. If she thought the shawl was complicated the earrings may as well have been a circuit board! He dangled them next to her ears. "Amethyst, to match your hair". They did look kind of nice but if she was on a mission they would probably be a bit distracting and weighting… also wormmon didn't have ears and she didn't want to puncture huudiemons wing- THATS RIGHT WORMMON. "W-well actually I-i'm here for-" they really were a school of sharks, the earrings were whisked away by Tasha "Damnit Steven stop farming commission!" The larger gentleman appeared insulted by the suggestion as he gestured to the earrings and to the smaller woman. "I wasn't, they clearly match her ha-" "Do you think she even has a mil on her?" “WOA" both Steven and Tasha turned on Veronica who broke the cardinal rule set down by the god of fashion himself! NEVER ASSUME WHAT A CUSTOMER HAS IN THEIR WALLET… also never talk to the customer in the third person but the cardinal rule superseded that point!

Shiba was grateful to escape; she couldn't handle much more friendly people ‘talking at' her as she made her way to another accessories counter. Though she felt a little guilty for starting a small fire with the staff. Her hands trailed over a ribbon “That one is very pretty, but I don’t think it’s your color."

Shiba jumped slightly refocusing on cutemon "Ah! Ye-*cff*yes" it really wasn't. She actually thought of someone else as she looked at it. "I- I'm actually shopping for someone else-" the sharks had managed to untangle themselves from months old drama to see their prey talking to themselves.

Great… she was crazy! But knowing predatory smiles spread across their features. The ‘crazies’ had the deepest pockets and the poorest impulse control. This one was actually telling them what she wanted… well telling the marble countertop what she wanted, but it may as well have been them.

"M-my partner-" Shiba had at least enough self preservation to know she shouldn't specify her digimon to a complete stranger, even one that seemed very nice. "Dokunemon". Not enough preservation to select a MORE distinct digimon. "We’ve gone through a p-*cff* -retty harrowing experience and I wanted to buy something nice for them"

It was pretty difficult for the three to put the ‘crazies’ word salad together. She had a partner so she was probably lez but Dokunemon sounded like some kind of brand. They finally settled on the only thing it could be! A dog…? Well she wouldn't be the first.

Then came the question, was this a ‘loaded’ crazy, or was this ‘someone they needed to call in to escort off the premises and institutionalised crazy’?

"I used to c*cff*-come here all the time with my friends-" she was always the ‘broke one out' so she more or less watched them pick things out and made them try things on, 'shopping’ vicariously. Honestly her sense of fashion was ‘calamitous’ and they at least kept her from being laughed out of high school. The place felt very different now. If she had to put it into a word it felt more ‘comfortable’ like it had been there long enough to decide what it was going to be.

"C*ff* could you help me-" Shiba froze, the cutemon was just so professional and she navigated the shop so well she assumed-! Shiba gave a swift bashful bow "S-sorry I just assumed you worked here! Oh gosh I didn't mean to s*cff*-sorry I-" this really was getting embarrassing! The worlds were blending a little ‘too’ close together as she swiveled around to see that indeed the three attendants figured it would be more ‘polite’ to let the ‘customer’ finish their conversation with the marble countertop. Or, what they hoped was her phone.
