@distortionmewtwo The Mewtwo shyly approached the two, anxiously wringing his hands together, but his smile was warm. "H-Hello there," he said softly. "I-I, erm.. I don't think I've ever met anyone quite like you before..." In all honesty, the presence of what may have been a human, UV wasn't sure, made him quite uncomfortable, but he wanted to make an effort to be polite for the event. It wouldn't do to be rude. "M-My name is Ultraviolet, what's yours..?"

"Hello there!"

Upon noticing you, the masked boy gave you small smile and wave while you approach. He gave you a quick look up and down before going.

"And i dont think i've seen a digimon like you either?"

He wanted to ask Shoutmon for confirmation- wherever they may have ended up after going through that rift with him... But atleast he can still hear his melody from here, so he could probably find and ask them later.

For now he should introduce himself too.

"I'm Taiki, it's nice to meet you, Ultraviolet!"

[nakamanokizuna]

After briefly giving eachother a look, any semblance of the other Shoutmon's previous casualness dissipates into the air like steam.

"Salutations, esteemed Duchess and her loyal guardian. I am Shoutmon, the benevolent ruler and King of the Digital World."

They step forward before bowing down in the most regal, practiced manner you've ever seen.

"And this is my most trusted general, who also happen to be my brother in arm."

Shoutmon then gestures to the masked boy, who only nods as his expression morphs into something more akin to amusement, not following suit with any of the grand introduction his partner has set up.

"And we are here because..."

Instead of receiving an answer, you watch as the dragon open his mouth before closing it again, then immediately turning back to their partner and stage whispers;

"Taiki, what were we invited here for again?"

The boy, now known as Taiki, chuckles in reply before shrugging.

{OOC: You're not as slick as you think.}

"Oh hey! Didn't know there's another one of me attendin' here!"

The dragon digimon approached with a grin, trailing not too far behind them was a boy, who then added;

"Or any other humans, as far as i know."

"𝗛𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝗸𝗶, 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸! 𝗔𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗵 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗺𝗼𝗻!" "And another human... seems we're not the only tamer/digi combo here. Nice to meet you both!" Akirah did a curtsy. "I'm-" "𝗗𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗗𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝗸𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜'𝗺 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱, 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗺𝗼𝗻!" The digimon boldly interrupted.

"Shoutmon? Stop kidding around." Akirah nervously giggled mid-speech.

"𝗪𝗵𝗼'𝘀 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻'? 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜. 𝙒𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙢 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙮 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚!" Shoutmon whispered the other part to Akirah, wanting to make sure they blended in. "…𝘈𝘭𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵… 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘐'𝘮 𝘯𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦."

The two looked back up at the other pair.

"𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆, 𝗿𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀-𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳. 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝘄𝗼'𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹. 𝗛𝗼𝘄'𝗱 𝘆𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴?" Shoutmon asked, leaning against a nearby wall. Meanwhile, poor Akirah was already looking pale and nervous.

{OOC: Happy pride month gaymers!

Anyways, **plagues you with hcs**;

• Taiki is trans (this came to me in a dream so it's forever canon in my heart)

People in his life (family, friends, etc) were surprisingly fine with it (returning his kindness for helping them with the kindness of supporting him :})

Though there are a few exceptions (mostly people at school) that would remain silent and pretend they're supportive but the second Taiki's not within earshot, they start referring him with the wrong pronouns or gossip about him (yes im giving him issues, he needs issues)

The majority are quick to scold amd correct them— but Shoutmon?

Shoutmon can and will start throwing hands

(Shoutmon no. 1 trans supporter lets go)

• also bi Taiki (Taiki/Nene/Kiriha is iconic man, also Polygenerals is less of a mouthful. Why isn't aren't these three more popular)

• Shoutmon the AroAce icon ever. Idk the vibes are there

Taiki lets out an exasperated sigh.

He had been exploring through this part of town with Shoutmon for atleast a couple of hours now, still not quite sure about where this weird Digimon's presence was even at.

Well, he supposed that Kiriha will be Kiriha, regardless of how much time had passed since the last time they've crossed eachother's paths.

But it would be nice if the blonde hadn't decided to vanish to god knows where after dropping that bombshell on him.

Still though, his friend hadn't been wrong. Prior to his announcement, Taiki would sometimes hear something graze past his ears, barely audible before it faded away, easily drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the world.

And whenever Shoutmon had been around, no longer obligated to his kingly duties for the day, they'd confirm that they'd felt the same thing too, just as briefy.

"I wonder if Shoutmon's found it already..." The brunette muttered absentmindedly.

Even if Taiki's been bestowed with the blessing to hearing a Digimon's soul, their ever beating melody, he wouldn't be surprised if Shoutmon outmatched him in that department.

He knew his people better, after all.

As Taiki began weaving his way through the crowd of people- likely getting home from work, trying to avoid the forecasted rain, or both- he noticed a soft glow whisk past him from the corners of his eyes...

~

Split paths and cover more ground in the Human World. He'd suggested.

Sure, it could put them at risk, especially with him strutting downtown like he owned the place.

But at the same time, he was atleast tall enough to be mistaken to be just some guy in a really elaborate mascot costume.

While Taiki wasn't too big of a fan of this idea, Shoutmon thought it would be equally worth the trouble since Kiriha thought he'd be soooo helpful by just dropping information and fuck off entirely after.

And despite their best efforts, he hasn't been able to find what the other General had mentioned- yet.

Instead he finds himself getting more looks from people than good progress on their search.

He won't let himself be deterred though, because if he did, he won't be called The Digimon King to begin with.

Here's to hope these actually expand properly...

What Character Archetype Are You?

~ ~ ~

The Lionheart

The loyal one, the stubborn one, the one who fights for the others. The guarder, the watcher, foolish, valiant person who is not the same person by the end of the story.

TAGGED BY: stoled

TAGGING: YOU— or whoever sees this-

[nakamanokizuna]

( @hoodies-monster-ranch Japhiel @ Taichi)

“I’m sorry to ask but are you humon? I’ve never seen a humon, you’re a silly looking guy.”

Taiki blinks once, twice, then thrice at the Digimon that towered over him- though not like he wasn't used to that prospect.

After all, he did fight beside all of his friends, that more of than not, evolved or fused into forms that are much larger than Japhiel's stature.

"Yeah, im a human!"

He smiled, gently correcting the Cherubimon's pronunciation of the word.

"And you must be a Digimon right?"

The boy asks in return, even though it was a no brainer with how he could hear the larger Digimon's melody- lest he somehow has another secret ability to hear voices or sounds from creatures besides Digimon he's completely unaware of.

[nakamanokizuna]

Please be sure to wear your best attire my King/Queen/Monarch

Shoutmon stared back down at the invitation in their hand. Occasionally flipping it to look at it's back.

In all honesty, neither him or Taiki knew how this invitation got here nor do they remember if they ever got invited to an event of any kind.

The dragon flips over the invitation to it's back again, expecting for someone else's name to appear. When they're met with none, they groan before shouting;

"Oooii, Taiki! Are ya done yet? You better not try wearing that shitty blazer-over-shirt combo again!"

"No, im not!"

The boy shouts back in reply from behind the bathroom door before opening it to show that, he was infact, not wearing that fashion disaster of a combo.

"Especially not after you fussed over it the first time i tried."

"Taiki we had a month to prepare, im not gonna let you half ass it like that one time with Akari."

"Fair."

Taiki chuckled, raising both his hands in surrender. As he approached his partner, eventually the brunette's eyes landed on the invitation in the dragons hand.

"Anyhow, how are we even going to attend without an address...?"

"That's a good que-"

Before Shoutmon could even finish their sentence, something bursts out from the invitation and sparks into the space infront of both of them.

And in it's place, a rift crackles open.

".... Neeeeevermind then!"

"That's... Awfully convenient."

After much consideration and with not much reason to not to, both of them step into the rift.

{OOC: HERE COMES THE BOYYYYSS!! :D}

[nakamanokizuna]

Mikey Kudo being Shoutmon's partner and leadership of the Fusion Fighters what is that like?

"Admittedly... It's a lot of work!"

"Shoutmon is... Well, loud. And i heard from the others that he'd praise me up and down about how, without me, the Digital World and my world would be doomed."

"Though, to be honest? I think he's placing too much credit on me. If i hadn't found and met him, I don't think any of us would be here to begin with."

"And if the others weren't there to help me, i'm not sure we'd get this far either."

"Shoutmon, Xros Heart and Blue Flare too, even if they're Kiriha's team.... They're all very important to me."

"While leading them can be hard at times... They're still my precious friends, and I wouldn't want to change it for anything in the world!"

[nakamanokizuna]

shoutmon how is the digital word like ? Do you have to do a lot of paper work as King?

"The Digital World's been doin' better ever since i stepped up as King!- and unfortunately yeah, that means a lotta paperwork to deal with..."

"If it's not Wisemon helping him decipher those, he'll sometimes show up in my Xros Loader and ask for my help."

"Taiki... You're truly my lifesaver........"

"Though... Shoutmon hasn't been showing up as often anymore. And i think that's because he's getting better at navigating their paperwork, so i'm glad i could be of help for a short while."

"Oi oi... Don't self yourself short."

[shoutmonishere]

They're actually coming along well...

Here's to hope these actually expand properly...

[nakamanokizuna]

Taiki blinked once, twice then thrice before going.

"Is this... Not the Digital World?"

In all honesty, the fact he can't hear anything else but Shoutmon's digimelody here should have set something off that neither was this the Digital World nor is Ultraviolet was not a digimon— but oh well.

@distortionmewtwo The Mewtwo shyly approached the two, anxiously wringing his hands together, but his smile was warm. "H-Hello there," he said softly. "I-I, erm.. I don't think I've ever met anyone quite like you before..." In all honesty, the presence of what may have been a human, UV wasn't sure, made him quite uncomfortable, but he wanted to make an effort to be polite for the event. It wouldn't do to be rude. "M-My name is Ultraviolet, what's yours..?"

"Hello there!"

Upon noticing you, the masked boy gave you small smile and wave while you approach. He gave you a quick look up and down before going.

"And i dont think i've seen a digimon like you either?"

He wanted to ask Shoutmon for confirmation- wherever they may have ended up after going through that rift with him... But atleast he can still hear his melody from here, so he could probably find and ask them later.

For now he should introduce himself too.

"I'm Taiki, it's nice to meet you, Ultraviolet!"

[nakamanokizuna]

"No, i actually came here with my friend."

Taiki replied as he continued to look around, but no longer for someone who vaguely resembled a smaller UV.

"i can hear him, but I'm just not sure where they are right now."

@distortionmewtwo The Mewtwo shyly approached the two, anxiously wringing his hands together, but his smile was warm. "H-Hello there," he said softly. "I-I, erm..

"I'm Taiki, it's nice to meet you, Ultraviolet!"

[nakamanokizuna]

"Oh, did your sister come with you or did you come here alone?"

He began, looking around their surroundings for anyone that looked atleast vaguely like UV, albeit a much smaller one, which admittedly would make looking for her a tad bit more difficult.

"I'm Taiki, it's nice to meet you, Ultraviolet!"

[nakamanokizuna]

"I guess that explains why you're Ultraviolet, huh?"

Taiki chuckled. Was that one of the more awful jokes he's made? Yeah it probably was, curse him and his awful sense of humor.

"You have a sister? Is she adopted like you are?"

He then added curiously.

[nakamanokizuna]

"You mentioned that you came form a different Distortion World, right? Do other Pokemon like you life there, or is it just you and a... A Giratina, was it?"

The boy asked, tilting his head questioningly, now a tad bit curious about what UV's world is like and how it worked.
