Duke has posed:
Its--- STEAK TIME!!

Seriously, it is time for steak and Duke was a hungry Guilmon X! Once they got a table, with that oversize jacket still on given to him bu Alexis to keep warm. He swayed his head gently side to side while chanting steak, even his little three clawed feet was swaying side to side on the bench he was sitting on.

For someone who nearly saw a ghost of himself and was whimpering while he was out cold after the experience, he is taking this part pretty well! Then again-- its food. When doesn't Duke /not/ take food well?

Alexis has posed:
Hey, he's feeling better. Who's going to complain? Alexis isn't. There's things to worry about, but that can wait until after they do something about empty stomachs.

After claiming a chair for herself she taps one of her pokeballs and her Typhlosion appears next to the table.

Immeadiately he has his forepaws balled into fists, doing a little mock boxer sway. <Alright lets get this -- huh?> Scorch pauses, peering over his fists. <Aaaw, the fight is done already? No fair!>

"It was a female wolf, Scorch. I know better."

<Pffft> Scorch even blows some smoke between his lips when he does that. <I know better than to try and stick it in th-mmph!>

Alexis slaps her hand over his mouth before he can finish that. "Hey! There's young people around! Watch your slang."

Kari Wolf (276) has posed:
    Kari has taken up residence on the napkin dispenser on the table. She doesn't eat, but she's paying. She doesn't really use her pay for much of anything so it's really just been accumulating interest. She's changed to her normal unarmored self because it's rude to be armed to the teeth in the Bar and Grill. She just waits for the order to come for Duke. The Special Steak. Better be good for that price!
    "Now presenting on stage, as part of their Spending A Year Dead For Tax Reasons tour, the renowned band of the Multiverse, Unnatural Disaster!" the MC announces somewhere nearby.

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
And suddenly, GoGo is there, and freaking out. "OhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygod. Okay. Just magic. Calm down GoGo, it's JUST MAGIC."

Duke has posed:
Duke looks at scorch as he shows up on the table and laughs a bit as Alexis covers his snout, telling him shush. "It's OK Scorch, you didn't miss much." He says with perked up ear fins and a soft smile on his muzzle.

His gold eyes then look over to Kari, "Thanks for the idea! I actually never eaten in a restaurant before." He says looking around, then gets a very confused look when an announcer speaks up and peers around, "I wonder why they are called the Unnatural Disaster... that doesn't sound like a good band name to have..."

Though he looks a bit surprised when he hears a 'ringing' in his ear fin from his communicator, so he taps it carefully with his claw, "...hello?" Then Duke seems to be talking to someone, his eye ridges furrow as he seems focused on the conversation. There is an older look in those eyes for a moment, before he ends the call. There is that childish look back, "By the way, Gogo will be joining---" Speak of the devil.

"Hey Gogo!" He says almost standing up waving to her-- and yes, that jacket is /far/ to big for him, its pretty obvious as he tries to wave.

Alexis has posed:
Alexis had just ordered a steak sub for herself. "That's the point, Duke. Bands try to pick a name that stands out so people remember it. So sometimes they come up with really... eccentric ones."

And then suddenly, GoGo! Granted suddenly is pretty typical for the speedster. What sounds like a panic attack, not so much. "Hey GoGo. Something wrong?" Takes a bit out of a sandwhich.

<And do you want someone to make it ri--OW!> Testimate to how this must be a normal occurance, as Alexis reachs with one hand to grab one of Scorch's small ears and yank him back without even looking away from her sandwhich.

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago shakes her head. "Sorry, it hasn't been that long, so we're STILL getting used to 'magic' being a thing."

Duke has posed:
Duke tilts his head gently at Alexis, "I guess that makes sense." Then there is steak on the table and Duke just stares at his giant size piece of hunking meat. Those gold eyes fixed on its form and he is just--- lost upon its beefy goodness.

At last he snaps out of it as he plops back down on the bench and looks at Gogo. "This is magic?" He tilts his head, then picks up the streak, "/This/ is Magic!" He then chomps a bite out of it with those sharp teeth, "...so good.." he says between chews. Happy Duke is happy.

Alexis has posed:
Alexis shrugs a shoulder. "You get use to it after a while. Granted, culture shock was a little less considering what I put up with normally.... Holy shit that's a big steak."

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago slumps at the table... "i'll have what he's having. I feel like gorging myself sick right now." she says, looking kinda down.

Duke has posed:
Duke pauses while eating he oversize steak as Gogo plops down. He notices her sad look and tilts his head gently, "What is wrong Gogo?" Duke asks as he returns to chowing down on the massive steak.

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago says, "To... Mr. Stark is dead. Happened yesterday or the day before."

Alexis has posed:
Alexis finally lets go of Scorch's ear and lets the Typhlosion wander off to stretch his legs. "Yeah. Terrible thing to happen, even when you know it's possible almost every time you go out there to save the day."

Duke has posed:
Duke tilts his head the other way, the steak held in his mouth as he tries to speak with it there, then pauses, bites off a piece, chews, swallows, and /then/ talks, "Who is Mr. Stark?" The Digimon asks seeming actually-- confused by this.

A more serious look shows up in his eyes, "...more importantly... who killed him?"

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago sighs and pulls up the article. "And would you believe it? Not fifteen minutes before she sent it out, I'd called pepper to tell her how lucky she is to have a stud like Tony... I feel awful."

Duke has posed:
Duke looks over at Gogo's screen and reads over the article as he slows chews the steak. His eye ridges narrow and then he actually pauses eating. "...I am sorry," He says softly and lowers his head. "I didn't know him, but its never good losing a friend."

"I know if lost Doran, I'd be very lost." Duke admits and shakes his head lightly, he places the steak back on the plate and then rests the under side of his muzzle on the table. His gold eyes looking distant for a moment.

Then with a soft huff of smoke, he raises his head back up. "I was going to tell you what happened tonight, right Gogo?" Yep, he is trying to change the subject for everyone.

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago smiles and nods. "Yeah, what happened with that weird cyberdog? I've mostly been recovering in the hospital."

Alexis has posed:
Alexis takes another bite out of her sandwhich. "She tried to taunt the wrong people, that's what happened. Not gonna be a problem anymore though. Didn't get away this time."

Duke has posed:
Duke nods his head to Alexis explanation. "Right. We took her down tonight." He says with a strange firmness in his voice. "Well... they did," He frowns, "...I had a case of a living nightmare that I am... still trying to make snout and tails over."

Duke sighs gently as he closes his eyes. "But she probably wont be the last, because there is allot of angry Exiles out there and many of them want revenge for what has happened... probably even some as crazy as she was."

Alexis has posed:
Alexis snorts. "When revenge made her do things that made her no better than the ones she was angry at--" But then Alexis stops, flustering a bit. "Sorry GoGo. Almost forgot you've already been through that sort of thing."

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago waves a hand. "It's okay. Hiiro handled that pretty well... I can understand the wanting of revenge though."

Finna (513) has posed:
    "HERE YOU GUYS ARE!" Earlier, Finna had to take care of some natural needs and so left the group, but she has apparently followed SOMEONE's trail the rest of the way across the Multiverse...

    As a fox.

    A white fox that sees no problem hopping straight up onto the table in a corner where there isn't anything to worry about anyways.

Duke has posed:
Duke was about to ask a question, about the time he watches a fox jump on the table that sounded allot /like/ Finna, "Finna?" He asks and peers at the fox on the table, then looks over at Scorch and wonders what the Pokemon will do about the invader.

Alexis has posed:
Scorch is already busy trying to flirt with one of the non-human waitresses. And failing miserably, but that's besides the point.

Finna (513) has posed:
    By now Finna's not glowing! She executes a swift backflip and somehow slips right into a chair now in HUMAN form, shapeshifting seamlessly and quickly enough to sprout clothing before the receding fur fully vanishes. THUMP. "Who else would it be?"

Duke has posed:
THAT is when Duke realizes Scorch isn't even /on/ the table anymore and peers around to find the Pokemon flirting. He can only raise an eye ridge at this. Some mons have weird things they do.

Duke looks over to Finna nad does a double take. "You... how... huh?" He scratches the side of his head. "You Digivolve fast..."

Finna (513) has posed:
    "Digi-what?" Finna blinks, makes a weird face.. "Ah, never mind that. How are you doing? Looking a lot better from here!"

Duke has posed:
Duke ear fins perk up, "I'm fine, enjoying my steak," oh yeah-- he needs to get back to that! "Hoping to cheer up Gogo who is upset... aand... trying to decide what I saw was real... or my imagination." This is when Duke returns to noming on his Steak.

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago stares at Finna... "Okay... SO the usual rigmarole. Who are you, where are you from, and how are you going to blow my tiny mortal mind tonight?"

Finna (513) has posed:
    "Seeing things that aren't there is a sign of either a guilty conscious, divine guidance or madness!" Finna states jokingly. "Surprised you're seeing anything other than stars after a fight like that. --ehm?" Finna blinks, looks sideways at GoGo... then grins, shoulders bunching up. "Finna Snowdancer of the Haslanti League in the far north? If you'd rather no mind-blowing maybe leave it at that?"

Alexis has posed:
Alexis frowns a little behind the end of her sandwhich, before finally gobbling it down. Then after wiping off her hand she reachs over to pat Duke's shoulder. "She was trying to get you riled up. Loose your focus." Not to mention more right that anyone really wants to let on. "But what she was trying to say doesn't matter. We've been over this before. About whatever the past may be is not as important as what you do with the future."

Duke has posed:
Duke looks over to Finna with his gold eyes, "She didn't really hurt me that badly... just... my data got very scrambled by what I saw. I-- don't know how to explain it." His eye ridges furrow and then Alexis pats his shoulder.

There was even deep furrow of his eye ridge, before he looks over to her. "You didn't see?" He asks at last, "None of you saw it in the reflection of the window?" He then sighs and takes a chomp out of his steak. "...maybe the cold did get to me... cause... I thought I saw a Royal Knight in my own reflection." Nom nom, CHOMP. That poor steak, it is getting the end of Duke's aggression right now and partial frustration.

Once he does swallow, he gives a mild smile, "But your right. It... maybe was just the cold got to me and was screwing with my sight, given all those dreams I've been having lately... I mean serious, pfff, me a royal knight. That is crazy." Chomp on more steak~!

Duke looks back over to Finna, "You were also really amazing!"

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
"Nah nah. I'm a tough girl. I can handle a little mind-blowing." she says, going to put an arm around Duke.

Duke has posed:
Duke purrs softly as he chews contently on his steak as Gogo wraps her arm around him. Oh look, her steak has now arrived too!

Finna (513) has posed:
    Finna glances sideways at Duke... then ends up shrugging a little. "Luna's blessed light plays tricks on the unwary! And the area was full of it thanks to yours truly. I normally keep that under wraps but you went and got hurt on my account..." Finna's shoulders sag here. "had to get serious. My debts get paid back in full!"

    She glances up then at Gogo. "In simple terms I'm one of the Moon Goddesses' many Champions. Well, my world's Moon Goddess. can't speak for anyone else's! We are the monsters who keep the world safe from the -real- monsters."

Alexis has posed:
"We were kinda busy with kicking her ass for trying to off you," Alexis half-admits, half-covers. "Didn't see whoever it was that shielded you briefly, either. Speaking of, I should go make sure Brakewind and Magnum didn't see anything else. Y'know, in case other digimon were also on her tail. Sounded like she could of had a lot of people pissed off at her."

Or maybe it's just getting hard to not say things she shouldn't be saying yet.

"Just head back for the ranch when you're done Duke. Seeya later Gogo, Finna." Alexis walks away from the table.

And then walks by the other way a few moments later dragging Scorch away. "Com'n you, she said no in three different languages already." <Two don't counter if I didn't understand it!>

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago thinks about that for a moment as she rubs Duke's ears. "So... You're an urban legend that keeps people from going out along at night in the dark alleyway?"

Finna (513) has posed:
    THAT question gets Finna frowning. "... No, -those- things are our prey. But some of us have that kind of reputation."

Duke has posed:
"Shielded?" Duke didn't seem to /know/ about that one. Though he watches as Alexis gets up and then makes her way out, "Ok Alexis--- I'll see you at the ranch." He takes another bite of his steak giving her a suspicious look as she walks on. How strange...

Then Gogo rubs Duke's earfin and he leans into it. He actually closes his eyes and starts to draconic-dino purr again. Yeah, he seems to enjoy that.

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago shakes her head. "No. I mean, you're the people who spread those rumors to keep people safe. Scare 'em straight, except for actually deadly threats."

Finna (513) has posed:
    "Rumors?" Finna makes a weird face. "hate to break it to you but those are NOT rumors. Wander out into the frozen wastes alone and the Fair Folk -will- get you. If you're lucky you'll freeze to death before that happens."

Duke has posed:
When Gogo stopped, Duke went back to eating and tilted his head to what she said to the Lunar. The poor Guilmon X didn't fully understand what this was all about. Then again, it seem like Finna didn't understand his people either. Maybe one day he should find her and they can share information! Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. "Hey Finna," He says tilting his head. "One day... when I am feeling top notched... mind if we meet up? Maybe you could tell me about your people more and I could tell you what I know about us Digimon!"

Should be a good trade off right?

GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago shrugs a bit. "They'd have to worry about what *I* would do to them."

Finna (513) has posed:
    "Try it if you're feeling brave. But don't come crying to me if the worst happens! ... Well, not that you will." Faking a sly, wise-ass grin, Finna lens forward on the table with her head resting on a hand, leaning on her elbow. "The dream-eaten aren't even capable of crying, they're that empty after the Raksha have feasted on their souls."

    But things brighten up quickly! Finna reaches over and pats Duke on the head! "Sounds like a plan to me! I'm out to learn about what's in the Multiverse, after all!"

Duke has posed:
Duke rumbles contently at the patting on the head, his ear fins go back a bit, before he takes some final bites of his steak. "Good! I look forward to meeting you again, Finna." Duke then goes to hop down, before he looks back to Gogo, "Also Gogo, we should hang out some time too!" He then waves his paw claw hand, even with that over size Jacket still on.

"Take care you two!" Then starts to make his way out with a rub, trips on the jacket, oufs-- gets back up and more carefully /jogs/ out.
