He didn't understand the interest in it, all it was was a simple animation produced though  different country. Why did they have to have their own entire store? Unfortunately, his sister was nothing short of a weaboo and had been pestering him while he was in japan to send him over some 'kawaii Japanese souvenir'. As if he'd be able to mail something over seas when the world is concentrating more on making sure these walls surrounding them were secure.


"Maybe I'm over dramatizing things." Nathan muttered, as he pushed open the door to the shop. The usual jingle rang as a blur of purple, blue and green rushed passed him into the shop only to slow down to a halt and slither backwards back to Nathan. "Maybe you are." Osiris chuckled, attempting to get a glimpse of his tamer annoyed. The only time he'd seen it was with dealing with anything related to his sister, although he'd never have any direct qualms with her. It was just a major clash of interests, and views.

Nathan folded his arms over behind his head as he walked into the store, the Keramon having had subconsciously taken over holding the door. Which, Nathan took full advantage of. "Thank you kindly." He replied wittily, a small snicker following after.

Ignoring Osiris whines of protest, Nathan walked up to the counter and leaned on it. Pulling out a small piece of paper, he spoke. "Do you have uh...." The teen squinted at the paper, which had previously gotten wet, but only got one word. "Is there some plushie of an anime thing a girl would like?"

NOTES: He came to japan because of a program, why can't she understand this?

❝ Living in Japan is like living inside of your dream, according to Ethan that is. Despite the fact that he had lived here for about ten years, Ethan can’t help but wonder if this is reality or is he inside of a long dream. To him it feels as if his dreams are finally coming to life but way too quickly, making him believe that this world he is in are fake. What makes him believe in this theory? Here are a few reasons why; one he never expected his parents to get a divorce then move to Japan two years later. The only thing that he remembers is his parent’s arguing maybe once or twice, break up, make up, go to bed together, and so forth. They would continue this route until the age of 7 when everything had fallen apart. What made them give up so quickly then normal? Did they just get tired of the same routine or were they forced to jump to this final option? Up next is his job, as much as he loves anime and manga, he never ever would’ve expected to actually be working in an anime store. To put the final pieces together, you know what they say about Japan right, crazy shit happens here like Godzilla and all those demons and stuff lurking around Japan? Heck it makes you feel as if you’re in anime world! Well my friend, that’s what’s happening to Ethan’s life right now. He is living in anime world with this blue creature thing following him all over the place. What is this creature you might be asking or what the hell is he talking about? Let’s go into more details then shall we? This creature is dangerous and most of all DANGEROUS! Yes he said it twice but that’s basically all you can do to describe it. This thing has sharp teeth with powerful paws that can break a fucking wall with one punch as if it was nothing! This thing has powerful blows heck even at a short height this THING can pawn a sumo wrestler without breaking a sweat! This THING IS …. IS …. a blue dog that wears a headband and boxer gloves. Yup that’s right it’s a blue fucking dog! Ethan gripped his hand as he stood in the backroom of the workshop, gritting his teeth as he turned his head over to the THING that was happily sitting on the rolling chair eating Pocky while watching anime. “It’s dangerous I tell you DANGEROUS!” Ethan said as he continued kept repeating himself out loud. “JUST LOOK AT IT! IT’S ALREADY PLANNING IT’S NEXT MOVES! It’s coming up with an evil plan to take over the world! IT’S A M-” “Ethan Sir, why are they making funny noises? There faces are red too!” That was when it hit him, the blue furball was not watching normal anime show but instead it was WATCHING porn? “AKAMARU!” Ethan yelled, grabbing onto the controller then pressing on the power button to turn off the TV screen. “Are you that perverted?” The THING looked up at him with a confused innocent look on its face. The dog tilted its head to the right like a normal dog would do if they don’t understand when you tell it to lay down or something around that nature. “What does ‘pervert’ mean?” A sigh had escaped from the male’s mouth as the dog continued repeating the same question about 3-4 times until he finally gave in. “It means you-” He had cut off for that brief second, catching himself before he even described the definition for the word ‘pervert’. “Oh never mind. Akamaru your not supposed to be here!” Akamaru is his name, according to this blue dog thing the thing had described itself as a Digimon and is known to be part of the Gaomon species aka a Husky in his mind. Ethan had happened to nickname him Akamaru because of anime show he used to watch a while back. “But, but!” “Oh never mind just stay quiet!” The teen said in a harsh tone, covering the blue dogs mouth once he heard someone from the counter. “Stay!” Akamaru nodded his head slowly as the teen made his way up to the counter. “I apologize for the wait, so something that a girl would like you say? Hmmm do you have any ideas of what she is into like action or vocaloid or-“ Before he could even finish his sentence, Akamaru had appeared right by him but thank goodness that the counter was high enough for the costumer not to be able to see him. “Or porn?” Not even looking down at the blue creature, Ethan had pushed the confused Gaomon away from the counter with his foot. “Whoops it must’ve been the radio or something. Hmmm well if your not sure yourself the plushie section is right over there.” The teen had pointed his finger towards his left side, were all the plushies had gathered together to have a tea party in alphabetical order. “I would suggest a vocaloid character.” He stated with a smile on his face. “Those are quite popular.” Akamaru had looked up at his tamer while tilting its head. “Really, I thought it was porn?”

"Letty, I'm bored!" That was the fifth time the teen heard her Digimon say that exact phrase. It was getting rather annoying. "Patience, Sakuya; I really need to find a job," she stated in a calm tone. "I promise you can run around freely once I find a place and fill out an application." Normally, Colette would've been all right with letting the Lopmon freely roam around (so long as he was still near her), but given how energetic and obnoxious he could be, she feared people wouldn't want to hire her. Thus, she made him sit on her shoulder, his ears gently wrapped around her neck. Ever since coming to Japan after getting a feeling that her brother was there, the teen had to use money her parents had given her. However, she was starting to run low on cash and so getting a job was absolutely mandatory. "Aw, c'mon, I'm sure they won't give two damns about me!" the Lopmon stated, pouting. "I mean, it's not like I'm going to be the one working, right?" Colette tilted her head to the side and shook her head. "Even still, I'd rather not take any chances." Sakuya pouted again, but kept quiet. This pleased the female, as he was currently acting precisely like the character she had named him after. Hopefully he'd stay like this! As Colette walked around the big city of Tokyo, she tried her best to look in all directions for a place she could possibly work. It was then that she passed by an anime shop. The teen paused and took a double take. Sakuya glanced over at the shop. "Don't tell me you want to work there! Anime is boring!" he stated, grimacing. Colette glared at him. "Didn't you say you wouldn't be working there?" she asked. The Lopmon shook his head. "Then don't complain." Sakuya opened his mouth to speak, but by then Colette was already making a beeline to the shop. Upon entering, her expression changed to one of a child who entered a sweets shop. Inside was anime and manga of all genres, from romance to action to fantasy to ecchi and so forth! The female grinned. "This place is perfect!" she exclaimed, her eyes darting everywhere. Sakuya groaned, but stayed in place, also looking around (though less enthusiastically than his tamer). There weren't many people in the store, just someone with another Digimon who happened to be purchasing something from the counter. Colette also seemed to notice, and she walked on over. "I guess I'll have to speak to the person working the counter for my application," she said to Sakuya. The Lopmon silently nodded as the teen walked over to the counter. As she did so, she heard the buyer mention something about a cute plushie for his sister. The clerk then recommended Vocaloids to him. "Umm, I hope you don't mind me interrupting, but I think a Vocaloid plush or program would be a great gift for a female!" Colette hoped they didn't mind her intruding on their conversation. "Rin and Len Kagamine, Miku Hatsune, and Luka Megurine seem to be popular amongst females. I'm not entirely certain though, as I'm not too into Vocaloids myself." "Then why bring it up?" Sakuya grumbled. Colette shot him a glare before turning back to the two to hear their responses. She wouldn't bring up her desire to apply for the store until after the male with the Keramon had finished buying something for his sister.

Nathan made clear note that he didn't hear, or at least acknowledge, the Gaomon's comments. He only gave a small nod, looking back as if eyeing the store for anything that might say "Vocaloid". He had heard of it, being as it was very commonly mentioned on music streaming sites, but it wasn't exactly his own piece of pie. "Hmm... Okay." he spoke before turning back to the counter, although as he did the bell to the shop chimed. Signaling the sign of possibly another customer, Nathan backed up slightly. After all, it was better to show some courtesy.

Then she spoke up, joining in on the conversation instead. This made him halt, leaning against the counter again. "No it's fine." He spoke rather confidently, although his head buzzed at the unknown names that came out of her mouth. He forced himself not to show signs of confusion, as he continued. "Thanks I-" He suddenly cut himself off, unable to continued the sentence as he immediately groaned. "Excuse me." Nathan moaned, turning around and heavily walking off into a random department.

As he walked down the ally, the teen quickly grabbed a CD holding an anime soundtrack out of his Keramon's hands. The hands had been positioned in a way that looked like he was about to put it in his mouth. "OSIRIS, DON'T DO THAT. IT'S NOT DATA." Nathan yelled out, the booming voice filling at least part of the store. "The merge hasn't gotten that far yet! What is wrong with you?!" He snapped, getting a small childish laugh from the virus digimon.

NOTES: Silly Keramon. Tricks are for kids.

❝ Does this guy know what he is talking about? Perhaps he should escort him to the plushie section and pick out a Vocaloid character for him. The teen stretched out arms as he learned over the counter. “Yo if you want I can point out the vocaloid characters for you?” He suggested, hoping he wasn’t making the teen look like a retard for not knowing what they’re. Just in the nick of time before he made himself look like a retard, a beautiful woman with a bunny rabbit looking creature had walked into the shop. The teen had lifted up his head, waving to her and the Digimon. “Konichiwa, welcome to the anime shop!” He wasn’t sure if this female can speak Japanese or English so he tried both in a sentence. Let’s hope his Japanese was accurate. “Thanks for the help by the way. My name is Ethan Fujioka if you need assistance let me know.” Right after he said this, Akamaru had sat on top of a tall stool, allowing the other two customers to be able to see him. “I’m his partner Akamaru it’s nice to meet you apparently I’m not supposed to be here.” This had made Ethan sigh. “Right speaking of which Akamaru can you go to the backroom and watch anime?” The Digimon put a smile on his face, quickly jumped down from the stool then happily ran to the backroom to continue watching the same porn anime he watched earlier. Right after he said that, the customer earlier was yelling at his Digimon about data? Ethan looked over to that direction, trying his hardest not to rage quit but instead another sigh had escaped from his mouth. “And this is why my boss has been getting on my ass about leaving Akamaru here. Please try not to ruin the store products please. If my boss finds out about this he would cut off my head!”

The male working the cash register welcomed Colette and introduced himself as Ethan, using a bit of Japanese as he did so. Maybe he was fluent in both English and Japanese like she was. Before the teen could speak, however, a blue, dog-like Digimon popped up from under the counter and introduced himself. He had a Japanese name--Akamaru--which sounded like it came from an anime about ninjas--if Colette recalled correctly, there was a dog by the same name. She hadn't seen much of the series, but she had friends back in France who watched it. The male and his partner exchanged words, and Akamaru went into the back with a video tape. "A Gaomon, huh? Wonder what he's so enthusiastic about." Sakuya looked at Colette. "Hey, mind if I walk around the store a bit? I promise I won't destroy anything or run around!" The teen grimaced. Had what she said earlier gone through one of the Lopmon's ears and out the other? "...Well, if you promise not to cause any problems, I guess you may," Colette said, sighing. Sakuya grinned, happy that he could finally be free! The small rabbit Digimon jumped off his tamer's shoulders and walked toward where Akamaru had gone to. With the Lopmon gone, the teen began to turn back to Ethan; however, she noticed the other customer chiding his Digimon--"Osiris", if Colette heard correctly. The Digimon seemed to have tried eating the merchandise. At least Sakuya wouldn't do that... The female turned back to Ethan, who let out a sigh. He mentioned something about his boss, and how he'd "cut his head" if he found out about what was going on. At this, the teen raised an eyebrow. Was the manager of this store really so harsh? ...Well, she knew that Ethan was exaggerating, and it was possible she wouldn't experience similar issues, so it was best to put the topic aside. Anyway, it would be rude of Colette to not respond back to Ethan!「Thank you for the welcome, Ethan-san!」she exclaimed, bowing. She had spoken in Japanese, so hopefully he understood what she said. To be safe, though, the teen decided to switch back to English. "My name is Colette Fontaine. And the Digimon who was with me earlier is named Sakuya!" Speaking of, was he still with Akamaru? Colette looked around, but couldn't find him. Hopefully he wasn't causing any trouble. She turned back to Ethan and smiled. "Ah, yes, before I forget, I'm interested in applying for a job here. Do you have any positions open at the moment?" The female hoped that they did; it seemed like a really nice shop! As she waited for the male's response, Sakuya skipped over to her, his cheeks red and a huge smile on his face. "Hey, Letty, you'll never guess what that Gaomon is watching!" he exclaimed, chuckling. Before Colette could respond, the Lopmon continued. "It's a porno, Letty! A porno!" Sakuya proceeded to fall on the ground and roll around laughing. "The people in it look so funny! How could anyone like that stuff?" The teen could feel her cheeks go red; why did her Digimon have to be like this? Before she could deal with Sakuya, the Lopmon had already gotten up and went over to where the other tamer and his Digimon were. He picked up a CD--possibly the one the Digimon had earlier--and looked at it. "Ewww, they look so weird! How could people like this stuff? Should've just let the Keramon eat it!" he stated, sticking out his tongue. That was the last straw! Colette walked over to the Lopmon, grabbed the CD from his paws, and glared at him. "Will you stop it? Why do you have to be so troublesome?" she growled. Before Sakuya could respond, Colette picked him up by the neck. "If you do this again, I'll put you in a cage for a week! Do you understand?" The Lopmon shivered; even if he could use attacks he knew better not to defy his tamer. After a moment of silence he nodded his head. "Good." Colette walked back over to Ethan and tried her best to smile. "Sorry about him, he can be a bit of a pain sometime." Hopefully this scene wouldn't ruin her chances of applying at the store!
