"This Masaru really is all brawn and little brain huh? I feel bad for Yoshino...."

"Wha-- hey! I put my everything into DATS when I was still in the human world!" Huff! ... But, when Yoshino pivots to explain, Masaru settles down. "Yeah, since so much time's passed, I had a hard time even figuring out where my house was!"

“Oh, wouldn’t you - the ORIGINAL slacker - LIKE to know what I’m doing back in the human world. ....I don’t suppose it wouldn’t hurt to share the details since me, the Captain, and both Miki and Megumi have become officers by converting DATS into a police station. Everything’s changed in the -

👊❝Fair enough. The only reason I’m in this form is to pay homage to those interesing looking programs on the screen humans created where the main character is a human girl who transforms into a warrior of love and justice. Ironic... that’s why I must've dragged my tamer to watch them together -

"Huh..." A question with no answer. Would Yggdrasil even know? ... Or even answer his question, if he bothered the trek to go and ask? Things to consider. "It's still pretty cool anyway. But not as cool as my partner's evolutions!"

👊❝I wish I knew. But not all Digimon resemble like human like when they evolve.❞ She gave out a small shrug. Despite being both a fighter and a strategist, even the logic of Digimon looking too humanoid is beyond her knowledge.

"Right, so..." What to even say? There's so much on Masaru's mind. Years of work isn't so easy to condense down into a few easy updates, here! Maybe it would be easier to catch the latest scoop from Yoshino instead... "What about you? I've been working my butt off on the other side," >>

“That’s good to hear, Masaru.” Yoshino couldn’t help but smile over what Lalamon is doing to help Masaru is doing over the Digital World. Then again, Lalamon is her Digimon partner after all. The reunion can still wait when the bridge both the human and Digital worlds are fully connected by -

"Huh... I guess I could see that. A lot of Digimon *do* look like us when you evolve." ... A beat. "Do you know why? I mean, that's weird, right? Humans look like humans, but Digimon can look like anything!"

"Haha!" He puts out his fist toward WarRock, which bursts and envelopes his hand - and his whole arm, up to the elbow - in a glowing orange aura. It sparkles with a power for pure potential... "It's my DigiSoul! When me and my partner are together, it makes us both unstoppable!" >>

Not in the slightest....but he'll give credit for actually trying to make sense of what was said, even if it left a pair looking at each other...completely in disbelief of what was just said. "Right..let's just go with that for now and explain everything later." Replied the newly labeled "tamer" >>

<— he may be stupid,

Information that completely flies over the DigiAmbassador's head. He glances between the two - human tamer and non-Digi-lifeform - at least four or five times, before finally *something* clicks in his brain. Maybe not the thing that should have clicked in there, though... >>

"She's one of the few who introduced us to digimon, before that I didn't know other forms of digital Life existed outside of older AI...or EM wave bodies." There's also viruses...but he'd rather not mention that... given the world they were currently in. "And yeah, I'm from the human world -

"Easy for you to say," Masaru hisses. "But, if you know Yoshino, you can't be all bad..." (For the most part. That childhood friend of hers... urgh.) "But whaddya mean, 'your' world? Aren't you from the human world?" And, to 'WarRock', "And you, the Digital World...? You look like a Digimon!"

Subaru.@theshootingstar.bsky.social · last mo.

Not that he knew.... But yes, it was something relatively simple for them to do, how? That's another story...one the other might view as crazy until seen first hand, as for what kind of duo they were? "The kind who saved the world? Well 'My' world, it's a long story but we're not an enemy relax."

"Oh...! Yeah, Lalamon!" Masaru perks up instantly. "She's doing great! She's a natural-born organizer, and wherever there's a new project, she's on the scene!" Animated as he is, though, he can't help but slow down and really consider how to put his next few words. >>

“I’m looking forward to it once it's built properly for both worlds co-exist with each other. But I can see why because a lot has happened. Take your time until it’s ready, okay? And how’s Lalamon doing, Masaru?”

... What. Moving between the two worlds isn't hard for these two? What a thing to tell the guy who's been trapped in the Digital World for years on end! He gapes for a moment, buffering while his words take their sweet time coming to him. "You... wha—-? What do you mean, 'not hard'?!"

Subaru.@theshootingstar.bsky.social · last mo.

Questions he'd answer rather professionally, with a nod before turning to his "Digimon" adjacent partner. "WarRock, behave yourself. But yeah we've met, nice girl and moving between the real and digital world isn't hard for me and my partner here to do, but yeah everything's fine?"

"Heh, well, yeah! And you can count on me to get it done! But..." Masaru tilts his head to the side. "There's still so much to do. I swear it's close, that one day we can build a bridge between the two worlds! I can feel it in my bones! It's just... ugh, it's not today. Not yet."

“Hey, you already have the job to monitor the Digital World with Agumon and the rest of the other Digimon repairing their home, alongside taking Mercurymon’s stead to look over. That’s an even bigger accomplishment.”

"Woah... I mean, I knew about Ikuto - swung by to see my family before anything else! - but, Tohma..." He puffs a sigh. "Always one step ahead! I'm gonna have to figure out how to top *that* one."

“So you’ve heard. Some of us remaining at DATS went to work as police officers since the organization got disbanded together... Thoma-kun won a Nobel Prize for curing his sister, and Ikuto-kun started school. A lot happened.”

Now, a giant apparent-Digimon eager to tussle is Masaru-bait like nothing else, but what he hears from the other individual calls his attention much more starkly. "Y-Yoshino? You know Yoshino?! Hey, did you come from the real world...?! Is she okay? Is *everyone* doing okay—-?"

???: "Oh I like this guy! He understands my philosophy in life, always rarin to go buck wild!" Replied the rather large, seemingly draconic entity. One who was clearly excited, only for such to be quelled by the hand of another, not that he was trying to hide in the first place. "WarRock, you -

(Lukewarm reaction as always... 💧) "Yeah. It's been a hell of a long time since I'd last seen this blue sky... But, man, since I'd last saw you guys you went into the force? That's a real surprise."

“I’m not wrong, am I? But it’s nice seeing you back here since it’s been a while.”

...? Unfortunate to allow yourself to be spotted. It takes no time at all for Masaru to switch tracks to this new individual. "You got a bone to pick with me, too? I'm still rarin' to go!"

Subaru.@theshootingstar.bsky.social · last mo.

So this is the colleague Yoshi mentioned? Just what were there doing in a pit, let alone a battered state? Guess she was right about him being a hothead, though from what? He didn't know.

"After all this time, that's how you're gonna greet me, Yoshino?"

“I had a feeling a certain someone I know is here....”

...

“Yes. But he’s a bit of a hothead, yet he manages to get the job done.”

Subaru.@theshootingstar.bsky.social · 2mo ago

"Ah, I'm going to guess an old member of that DATs organization you've talked about?"

Masaru climbs out of a hole, battered and beaten and bruised all over, but ultimately victorious. It is unclear what Digimon he has bested this time... maybe it's best not to ask.

"I'll never give up!" #digimonrp #mvrp 🔄 + ❤

"Tech? Yeah, sure, I know how to use my Digivice! And my dad's a real pro at stuff like that! I can figure my way around any machine!" ... "It just so happens that most machines are real pieces of crap and need a whacking to get working!" (He does not appear proficient.)
