Pit Stop On the Yellow Brick Road

[burnblonde]

Who: Yang (her partner, Honey) and YOU (plus maybe some wild Digimon)
What: Yang is heading for the new location but makes a stop on Autumn Leaf Island to feast, meet the locals, and maybe get some fun toys.
Where: Autumn Leaf Island
When: January 4th
Extra: I can change to action style if that is preferred, this is VERY open!


Yang stretched as she got off the Trailmon, grunting and then making a sound of pleasure as her spine seemed to realign. "Man. That was rough." She stopped on the platform and turned to her Bearmon partner, Honey, "Did you get any sleep on the ride?"

"It was difficult with you sleeping on me, Yang," Honey replied in a low voice, nearly lost to the sounds of Digimon shuffling off of the Trailmon.

Yang grinned and grabbed the Bearmon up into a hug, "And I didn't even thank you for that! You're such a sweetie you know!"

"Yang," he choked out.

Bearmon struggled and pawed at her arm until she deposited him back on the ground. He gasped for air but Yang merely rested a hand on her hip, purple eyes darting around, "So, where are we?"

"It's called Autumn Leaf Island," Honey replied, pointing at a sign above the terminal platform.

Yang's eyes flicked up to read it and she smiled. "So it is. Well, seems like a more exciting place than that sandy place. A bustling bizarre is just the place we need to be." Honey's brow furrowed, his paw raised in a question before he sighed, he should have known Yang would want to do more than just ride the train.

"What did you have in mind?"

The blonde pumped a fist into the air, "Shopping!"

Honey groaned.

"Oh relax, we'll be gathering info too. We need to check this place out. I scoured places like this back home all the time. We'll be fine~ Besides, I was sleeping on you and I heard your stomach growl, like, ten times. We should at least grab some grub." Yang bumped him with her leg affectionately before bouncing out of the terminal and heading into the heart of the little town.

[OOC: Yang will be wandering all over Autumn Leaf Island. Feel free to find her anywhere and I'll be putting in a request for a NPC digimon encounter too, to spice things up.]

It seems Apemon isn't one to give information himself. She probably should have known given what she'd noticed of him so far. But, a girl had to try. It was still a good tip though. "Well, that's why it's gossip," Yang replies with a shrug. She knew better than to trust everything she heard. But even idle gossip could sometimes lead to bits of truth.

Besides, what else did she have to do?

She frowns a little at the second piece of information. She figured that would be partly the case, but even a bartering system had to have jobs, right? Maybe the digital world was stranger than she thought. "So there's no bartering services for goods?"

Honey looks up at Yang. He's not sure what she means, but he has a bad feeling it will involve fighting or something else that he doesn't really want to get involved with.

The Apemon huffs, his gaze narrowing. "....Not really. ....What kinda "service" you offerin'?" He seems pretty skeptical. You don't see any other human kids working round here, do you Yang? Any other Digimon might have given her a chance, but this guy doesn't seem to be the type to do that.

"I didn't exactly bring a resume. But I could run errands or try to attract business. Or, if you need some muscle." Yang could kind of tell already that this was going to be a hard sell. Honey obviously wanted to be elsewhere, but unfortunately Yang was the stubborn type who wasn't going to just turn tail and run at the first sign of a 'no.'

She stood her ground and she'd try her best. That was Yang, never going down without a fight. "Besides, I'm not saying it has to be with you. Maybe you know some other digimon around here that could use some help." She winks, "But we blondes gotta stick together."

[chimons]

...Yang are you really trying to sweet talk this guy because it's probably just going to frustrate him more. He snorts again, his hands tightening into fists on his table. "Look, I already said if yer lookin' for work ya aren't gonna find it here."

He pauses, deciding to rephrase that.

"I know yer after cash, but we trade goods round here. Yer not gonna see any cash unless you got somthin' really good that EVERYONE wants their hands on."

[burnblonde]

It's not like Yang knows that. Besides, Yang really only has two methods of persuasion: sweet talk or her fists. She usually likes to try charm before fists, it leaves a better impression. Yang quickly realizes this may be the wrong course of action when she notices the fists on the table. Right, probably not a good idea to piss off the ape. Yang is ready to let the whole thing drop and move on.

Yang was about to learn that she wasn't the only one with a trigger. While for her it was fairly superficial (her hair), for Bearmon it turns out that "messing" with Yang was his. Her usual quiet partner frowns at the larger digimon, a barely audible growl. He's kept his silence this whole time, but he does NOT approve of the way that Apemon was talking to her. "She was only asking. You don't have to be such a jerk about it."

The blonde stares at her partner for a second before glancing cautiously at the large monkey, "Uh...Honey...not exactly what I was going for."

[chimons]

Bad move, Honey. A low growl of his own issues from Apemon as he leans over the stand once more, positively looming over the small Digimon as he grunts. "...Who ya callin' jerk, pint size?"

His lip curls back in something of a snarl as his fists only ball tighter. It looks like he's been rather bored with how slow things have been around here as of late. He wouldn't mind getting to break some heads to let off some steam.

The typically timid digimon does not, in fact, back up. Honey just glares right up at the overgrown monkey. Yang stands to the side, unsure if she should be impressed or concerned. On the one hand, she is very much a firm believer in people fighting their own battles and learning from their mistakes. On the other hand, she really doesn't want to see the little Bearmon get beat up by Apemon over silly insults. If she lets it come to blows it may be too late. Yang opens her mouth to call Honey's attention away from Apemon.

"You see anyone else? Certainly not a bigger jerk around here than you," Honey replies snidely.

...

Nope, Yang wasn't going to be able to stop this one. Not now. Yang sighs.
