Meanwhile with Steve & Frigimon {of series: D i g i m o n 02} #TheBeginningSpoilers

Frigimon (Yukidarumon); Steve calls it "Frigimon" when at home: So, "That" one says they made us - or more like, 'you' - a Chosen to "befriend" "that other one"... Steve, low laughing under breath: "It" may have "said" that, but it's definitely wrong. Frigimon: Oh? You seem to have a strong feeling about this... (but it's expected of my partner). Steve, voice returning to normal 'cheery' tone: The thing it doesn't know is that I initially messaged Koushiro of my own volition. Frigimon: But it claims it 'made' you all do that... Steve: And again, it's definitely wrong... because it also doesn't know - or even understand why - how Koushiro initially reacted to me, much less the others in our group. Frigimon: Oh?? (Curious) (Tell Me More, Steve) Steve, swivelling around in chair: Koushiro rambled and info-dumped about different types of systems and coding for a solid ten or so messages back-and-forth before I finally clued Koushiro in more deliberately that I knew about "you all". STEVE: AND, at the start, Koushiro was hesitant to actually talk more to us about it all, even though we made it clear we all mostly knew since "that battle". Frigimon: But Koushiro came around because you were persistent? Steve, laughing: It's not so much "persistence" as "something that naturally fell into place" once I got more of a 'feel' of what Koushiro was like. Koushiro sounds extremely analytical on the 'Net, but apparently is also super formal in person, just in ...different ways. Frigimon: So, you're saying you didn't "pursue" Koushiro but couldn't the "naturally falling into place" still mean-- Steve, shaking head: No, not that either. Steve: Because I also initially wasn't sure if Koushiro actually wanted to be my "friend". Frigimon: ... Steve, clasping hands: Even if it could do everything that 'new' Chosen said, it doesn't understand that these aren't things you can "force". And even if it could, I wouldn't acknowledge it, because it's not a part of my culture... So it's not relevant to me. Frigimon, hmmng: The other monsters "like that" must really dislike us, then. Steve, quirking eyebrow with a grin: "Us"? Frigimon: Well, I don't like those notions, either. I can't really imagine myself being partnered to anyone not you, nor for any other "reason". Steve: ... Steve, quietly: {Thanks.} Frigimon: ... (After all, it is us.)

Baalmon: You'll have to pass MY Test of Knowledge. Steve, nodding: Cool, cool. *Hour~ or so later*, Baalmon: ??!???!??!? Baalmon: HOW!!1! Steve, shrUGGING: ( " I read a lot. " ) Steve: ("Also, Koushiro rambles too much to me about virtually everything, but at least I learn from it too.") Frigimon: ("It really happens this way.") Steve: ("They don't know that I converse with Koushiro that much over this many years though.") Frigimon: ("Do they need to know?") Steve: ("...Good point.") Baalmon: ?????

[koushirouizumi]

Steve, to a Absolute Jerk, probably: "May you {redacted}"--- FRIGIMON: Steve: --- "and bake a bagel there" Frigimon: (Steve)

Meanwhile with Steve & Frigimon [of DigiAdvs 02 & Co.]

Miyako: Hey, Steve-kun, what are you {and Taichi and Izumi-senpai!} watching?? ? Steve, glancing at Koushiro, who is Watching with full Attention, and Taichi who is Wide-eyed watching Koushiro Watching: Oh, just a fun little thing called "Fiddler on the---" Daisuke: "Fiddler"??? STEVE: :) You'll See--- Daisuke & Miyako, Crowding to Watch Too: ... Daisuke & Miyako, during 1st song: ... STEVE: ("It was tWELVE---") Frigimon: (Steve's seen it more times than Steve can count by now, but it's the first time everyone else is watching.)

Meanwhile with Steve

Mimi, chatting animatedly: So THEN when Lilymon becomes Rosemon, Rosemon is GORGEOUS, and--- Steve, nodding along: (Sounds nice {for them}.) Mimi, waving hands: And has this cool attack called "Tiferet", where Rosemon shoots them out at the enemy aND--- STEVE: Steve, Looking IMMEDIATELY at Palmon: Palmon, Looking Back: STEVE: (SAME HAT...) Palmon, NODDING: (SAME ... 'Hat')

Meanwhile with Steve and Frigimon

Steve, to Frigimon, sometime not long around 02: Now that I think about it... Steve: is the "Meat" from the "Meat Farm" kosher??? Frigimon: Frigimon: I wouldn't know, because I don't eat it, I'm 'technically' made of "snow" and "ice" (data) after all... Steve, nodding: Right. Frigimon, nodding: Right . Steve: Frigimon: Steve: Frigimon: Steve, laughing: (We don't need it, I get it.) Frigimon: (I don't want it.) Steve: (You're valid.) Frigimon: If the "meat" was never alive to begin with... (but I still don't want it.) Steve, hmmm-ing: But, a lot from the Digital World is "scrap data" from /our/ world... Frigimon: You're right.... Steve: Koushiro also told me about a time early on that they suddenly found eggs in a fridge. Frigimon: A fridge. Steve, nodding: A fridge. Frigimon: (The Digital World has always been strange, so we may never have a "true" answer to this question.)

Meanwhile with Steve and Frigimon

Sometime post-DigiAdvs+02, Steve and Frigimon encounter a ... certain... Mercuremon: Mercuremon: Steve: Mercuremon: Steve, raising eyebrow: Mercuremon, not moving: Steve: You're the one who becomes "Se-phi-roth"mon? MercurEMON: . . . Steve, to Frigimon: (Yeah, it's definitely not "that".) Frigimon: (right.) Steve: (If it was, it'd start debating me. And we'd probably be here forever) Frigimon: (right) Steve: (But we'd still win---) Mercuremon, about to move: Steve and Frigimon, JUMPING into Position: MercurEMON: . . . . . Steve: (Well, these kinds of 'wins' are always for the both of us, aren't they?) Frigimon: (You got it.) Steve, about Mercuremon: (But, I wonder if this one's ever actually met a rabbi. Or, just, contemplated about its other "form"... Or crossed over to our world at all--) Frigimon: (I can guarantee you it hasn't met a rabbi, at least.) Frigimon: (...Though, I did always wonder about the presence of certain, "beings" here...) Gennai, very far away, SNEEZING: Gennai: (Someone's talking about---)

Meanwhile with Steve and Frigimon [+Espimon] {DigiAdvs 02}

Takeru, glancing down at Espimon: Espimon, fiddling with "odd item" out of place that's caught Espimon's Interest, Ignoring: ... Takeru: ... Takeru, glancing at Steve: It's like Koushiro-san. Steve, nodding...: It's like Koushiro. Takeru: Takeru, glancing back up: It's "always" doing things like this? When did you meet it? Steve, shrugging but genuine: A while ago. It seems to "wander". It's looking for someone "Not a {'Fake'} Hiro Amanokawa". Koushiro can't find them yet, we searched the database and asked around... Takeru, bemused: That's... odd. Steve: Overall, it's a bit of a "different one". Takeru: Like Koushiro-san. Steve: Like Koushiro.(pauses) With a bit of a "tough"...-er side. Takeru, blinking in clear surprise: ?? Steve: Koushiro's clearly "tough" in ways too, but Espimon's even more *proud* of its ability. Not sure if the others have noticed as much yet how similar they seem, though. Frigimon: (Mimi is indulging it, and Jou is flustered by it as typical... Taichi is treating it in a friendly way too, if also a bit bemused by these things.) Patamon: (Isn't all that, the same with K---) Frigimon: (Don't ask me.) Espimon, finally realizing Espimon's being commented on: What? Steve, casually: Oh, nothing really, we just think you're really amazing. Takeru: Espimon: Got that right. (*goes back to Stimming*) Takeru, in mind: ("It's like Koushiro-san.") Steve, glancing at Takeru, lowly: (Koushiro also clearly likes being called "amazing", right? Even if Koushiro hides it more, Koushiro was happy.) Takeru: (When Taichi-san said it.) Steve: (When Taichi says----) Frigimon: (They're all very obvious.) Espimon, looking up: It's fine if you keep calling me "amazing", but I'm trying to focus on this... Steve: No, no, go back to your fun. Takeru: (It keeps missing---) Steve: (It's kind in its own way, though.)

Meanwhile with Steve & Frigimon {DigiAdvs 02}

Some random Person, nearby, as Steve, Mimi, Michael, and the rest of N.Y./U.S. Chosen are at the/a restaurant: Ugh, I hATE---- STEVE, swivelling around: Excuse me? That random Person: That random Person, quieting: Everyone Else: Frigimon: (Just like that...) Frigimon, tapping to get Steve's attention: Steve, turning back around, ready to...: MIMI: So, anyway----

[koushirouizumi]

Meanwhile with Steve & Frigimon {DigiAdvs 02}

Sometime post-DigiAdvs 02, Steve & Frigimon encounter an ""enemy?""... ""Lilith""mon: Steve, Not Smiling: Lilithmon: Steve: Lilithmon: Steve, flatly: What are you doing here? Lilithmon: Why do /you/ accuse me? Steve: "This" isn't /your/ "true form". Not by a /long shot/. Lilithmon, raising eyebrows, haughtily: Oh~? Steve: Why are you "here" in "THAT" form? Lilithmon: Lilithmon: WELL, it's NOT like I only /briefly/ ""CHOSE"", THIS form, or aNYTHINg, (so I could)--- Steve: I KNOW /you'd/ much rather be "there". Lilithmon: Steve, crossing arms: You knew we would question you the second we /heard your name/, and realized the contexts of what you were /seemingly/ "up to", and that we'd tell everyone /else/ as soon as we did? Lilithmon: (*exasperated sigh!!1!*) Frigimon: (She tried.) Frigimon: (But Steve can't let this slide.) Steve, cheerily: AnyWAY, so I know about a certain "place"... Lilithmon: ??! Frigimon: (...She understood immediately.)

Meanwhile with Steve & Frigimon {DigiAdvs 02}

Takeru: ... Steve: ... Takeru: ..... Steve: ..... Takeru: :) Steve: :) Takeru: ..... Steve: (I won't say anything if Takeru doesn't...) Frigimon: (At least you two get along?) Steve: (Yeah, but I can't say this isn't awkward sometimes.) Frigimon: (Takeru respects Koushiro too, though.) Steve: (I know, I know.) Steve: (Breaking the ice is ... Something.)

[koushirouizumi]

Lou, U.S. Chosen Child: Hey, Steve... Steve, U.S. Chosen Child, pausing: Lou: Lou: ... End of. This year, want to. Go to the Japanese restaurant? Grab some great food and-- Steve, immediately: Yes, that sounds pretty awesome Lou: Lou, about to ramble: I mean, if you, want -- Steve: I want to. LOU: Steve: We can also go sooner... and then again near the end of the year ... L O U: Steve: ... Unless that's too much ? Lou: No, that'd be perfect, actually... Steve: Sounds good, then. Lou: Lou: Well, until then, maybe we could . Hang. Out Lou: You ... know... Steve, nodding: Yeah. I mean, I'll have to fit in things where I can, but... Lou, immediately: I get it, so we'll... plan as we go, right? Not. Always on weekends. Steve, genuinely grateful: Yeah, that'd be . Steve: ... really great LOU: Steve: And for now, we could -- Frigimon, in Steve's direction: (You seem happy.) Lou, much later on: (... Did I just ask Steve ou--) Tortomon, sensing: ??? Lou: Don't worry about it, I've got this!! Tortomon: (If you say so.) Lou: (It's jUST dinner out---)

[koushirouizumi]

Sometime post DigiAdvs 02, a Pump{kin}mon from a previous "meeting": ("...Hey, hey.") Witchmon: ("??? ??? ?? ?---") Pumpmon: ("According to this human, we're not technically supposed to exist in these 'forms' when we appear in front of them and their 'Partner'.") Witchmon: ("???!??!??!") Witchmon: ("So what happens to us, the---") Pumpmon: (*grin*) Witchmon: (!!!)--- Steve, approaching: You two... Pumpmon & Witchmon: (?????) Frigimon: (In the end...) Steve: (Upon our invitation, they joined the Inter-faith {+family} gatherings.)

[koushirouizumi]

Sometime post-DigiAdventures 02, Steve and Frigimon sit down to have A Talk: (They're sitting, when...) Steve: Frigimon, I have something to tell you. Frigimon: ... ??? Frigimon: (This is unusual. Steve usually is not grim like thi---) Steve: I did not "build snowmen" growing up. Frigimon: Steve: Actually, we barely had snow in the place I grew up in at all. Miniscule amounts, even. Basically almost zero. Tropical climate, you know. For at least 100+~ years if not "always" Frigimon: Steve: And it's probably not in my culture that we "build" you "Snowmons" as /much/ or as inherently as ... Other groups might. Or at least in your exact "form"... or it just might not have the same "meaning"... The rabbis probably debated it at some times. I think, at least, in the contexts of Shabbat. So you probably didn't "appear" on or before Shabbat- Frigimon: Steve, actually serious for once: I apologize if I accidentally gave you that impression otherwise because you became my Partner. Steve, after a short moment: Are you mad? Frigimon: Frigimon: (Well, I guess I learnt that over time too...) Frigimon, deadpan: I knew that. Steve, deadstaring: ... Sure, you did. Frigimon, insisting: I don't think any less of you. Steve, sounding glad: Good. If you did-- Frigimon: ??? Steve: (Well, it might be a while before we ever visit my childhood home again. A long, long while.) Steve: Hey, Frigimon, you owe me-- {rambling off a list of Jew-relevant things because Steve totally doesn't want to spend Time with Partner} Frigimon, totally picking up on it: (... Steve's rambling, but I don't really mind.) Frigimon: (We do all of that often anyway, so anything else's just a bonus.)
