Level 2 Roxas (11/20)

Mere moments after Roxas finished the tour, more new arrivals made their way down from Station Heights. Looked like today was going to be a day for lots of arrivals. Though these arrivals appeared to be friends of Sectonia, which logically made them part of whatever group Sectonia herself belonged to. And it also didn't take long for them to ask about Roxas's outfit. He was starting to getting the feeling this would be a recurring thing. But that was fine. It'd be a good way to inquire about the Organization without actually having to constantly ask people. But for now the blue-haired... robot(?) girl needed a reply.

"Um, no." he said with a shake of his head, "I'm not with the Organization, sorry. But I am trying to find them. Think you could tell me about-" but he was cut off by the approaching sound of engines. Soon enough a group of semi-familiar-looking vehicles bounded the street and toward the Plaza. They were mostly locals who frequently raced their machines around Town and at other chosen tracks. And unfortunately, the robot(?) girl took off immediately to go greet them. Oh well, he could always ask his questions at another time. For now he went ahead and followed the racers down to the plaza with a dash.

He had to admit he had always felt somehow drawn to the racing, though for the life of him Roxas couldn't figure out why. Sometimes his patrols took by the tracks or the plaza during their races and for some reason Roxas couldn't help but stop and watch them for a while each time. He'd obviously thought about learning more or even competing himself, but his work in the militia wouldn't have spared him a whole lot of time to participate. That and none of the others in the militia had ever shown any interesting them either. But as long as this new group was interested, Roxas figured there was no harm in taking the opportunity to check the races out himself.

He followed after the newcomers until they all eventually reached Mumbo and Ellie's shops. Well, he was here so he might as well ask them. "Morning, Mumbo, Ellie!" he greeted with a small wave, "Y'know I've been watching some of the races and was getting a little curious about joining them myself. Where, uh... would I need to start?" Ellie was the first response, giving a little jovial smile.

"Well g'mornin', darlin'!" she said in her usual drawl, "I reckon the first thing y'all need's a car. And yer in the right place for that."

"No. No car yet." that voice was Mumbo, speaking in his usual strange way, "If Roxas want drive in race, then need Driver License. Go get license from Moose, then Roxas get car and race."

"From... who?" surprisingly enough Roxas wasn't sure who Mumbo was referring to.

"Oh he means Mooselini, hon." Ellie chimed, "Her place is right nearby so I reckon y'all oughta find her in a snap."

"Oh! Right, I'll be back with one of those licenses then! Thanks!" and he dashed out to where he remembered Mooselini's shack was. When he got there, it looked like she was already out with someone else. So Roxas just watched the lesson from a distance, unable to help but laugh to himself at the rapping. But soon enough Mooselini was done with the student and returned back to U-Drive-U where Roxas was waiting.

"Oh, another one already?" she asked, "Didn't take you for the driving type, Roxas."

"I... kinda wanted to give the races a try." he answered with a shrug, "Mumbo says I need to get a license from you before he can give me a machine though."

"Yep, he's not wrong. Just hop in when you're ready and we'll get started."

With one last glance, Roxas jumped in the vehicle and suddenly heard the rap for himself. Thankfully he knew it was coming since he heard part of it just minutes ago.

"Alright, we're here, just sittin' in the car.
I want you to show me if you can get far.” the instructor said before she began to instructed her instructee.

“Step on the gas!”
”Step on the gas!”
“Step on the brakes!”
”Step on the brakes!”
“Step on the gas!”
”Step on the gas!” Roxas was able to reply with less hesitance than the previous instructee, largely because he had seen a bit a rap beforehand while waiting his turn.

“I'm glad you know which way to go, but it ain't gonna stop me, here we go.” the moose said, and then gave Roxas the same crash course on how to navigate a town behind the wheel

“Check and turn the signals to the right!”
”Check and turn the signals to the right!”
“Now turn to the right!”
”Now turn to the right!” Roxas's replies were getting a bit louder and more comfortable with the whole rapping thing.
“Check and turn the signals to the left!”
”Check and turn the signals to the left!”
“Now turn to the left!”
”Now turn to the left!”

“Woh ho ho ho! Stop the car!
We got an emergency, can't you see?” the instructor suddenly commanded, Roxas guessing that she was about to give him the same pop quiz.

“Do you know why we stopped the car?”
“Do I know why we stopped the car?”
“Guess…”
"You forgot to close the door?"
"Did I forget to close the door?"
"No!"
"No?"
"No! There is no door!"

“…”

“Right”

“Now just don't forget
This ain't kung fu, come on again!” the instructor commanded, getting them to set off again.

“Check and turn the signals to the right!”
“Check and turn the signals to the right!”
“Step on the gas now turn to the right!”
“Step on the gas now turn to the right!”
“Check and turn the signals to the left!”
“Check and turn the signals to the left!”
“Step on the gas now turn to the left!” they were swerving through the course by this point. Unfortunately this was also the part Roxas didn't hear so now he felt like he was slipping up.
“Step on the gas now turn to the left!”

“Step on the brakes!”
“Step on the brakes!” Roxas responded as they stopped yet again.

“Do you know why we stopped the car again?” she asked.
“Do I know why we stopped the car again?” Roxas asked her back, hoping he'd made it to the end okay.

“That's because you just got your license!“ the moose informed him, throwing up her arms in celebration.

"I did? I did!" Roxas threw his own arms up in celebration and jumped out of the vehicle he had just been driving. After he did, the moose handed him a little card that was to be his license, "Yes, thanks Mooselini! Now I just need a car of my own." he was already running back to Mumbo's.

He felt something else while driving. A strangely familiar sensation, as if he had done something like it before. But that was impossible. That was the first time Roxas had ever been behind the wheel. He couldn't explain it, but Roxas did quite like the feeling nonetheless.

Roxas held up the license up for Mumbo to see when he burst back into the shop, "Got the license, just like you wanted." Roxas said and then added, "So? Do I get to build a car now?" he asked, eagerly waiting for their answer. He wasn't sure why, but he was getting pretty excited about driving in a race.

Level 2 Roxas (8/20)

"Tour, huh?" replied Roxas once he was on the ground level. He'd never played the tour guide before, but how hard could it be? "Yeah, I think I can do that." he began to walk and motioned for the newcomers to follow him, "This is Twilight Town. Better get used to that sunset, because it never goes away around here." he was now leading them around via Market Street. Since it wound its way through pretty much all the districts, it was the perfect route to take for a tour.

"The town's divided up into districts, and the Market Street we're currently on grants access to all of them in some way. It's also our shopping district, hence the name. I've never gone looking for a magic shop, myself, but I'll bet you can find one tucked away some place here in Market Street." he said, now noticing they were passing by their first exit that would lead to another district, "The direction you came from was Station Heights, and in that direction-" he pointed to the exit they were passing, "is the Sandlot. It's mostly an empty lot, but we use it to hold various events and celebrations. I think they're prepping for an upcoming Struggle Tournament right now. Uh, that's a popular sport we play around here. You spar with another person using foam bats and try to pick up spheres your opponent drops when you hit them. When time runs out, the person who possesses the most spheres is the winner."

As they continued on he recalled the second thing that Sectonia had asked about, "Hmm, well we do have Le Grande Bistro. I think it's over there in that direction." he pointed off somewhere deeper in the Market Street, "It's down in the Tram Common section of Market Street, so the Tram goes right by it. As long you follow the track you'll find it no problem. They make all kinds of teas and other treats there. Though I'm more of an ice-cream guy myself. Speaking of..." he stopped when they passed by his favorite ice-cream vendor. Roxas bought a trio of ice-cream bars, light blue in color and one to each of the tourists, "Try a sea salt ice-cream. They're one of the most popular treats we have here. And my personal favorite too."

As the tour continued, Roxas noted that they were about to pass by the road that led to the barracks. He made a gesture in that direction and said, "Down that way is the Barracks. It's the headquarters of the Town Militia. We take patrols and make sure things stay peaceful around here. We've also had to clear out occasional monsters that try to make their home in the Underground Concourse - er, that's an underground network of tunnels and sewers that run throughout town."

Eventually the group would circle back around in the direction of Station Heights. But this time, Roxas made sure to show them the direction of the last district, "You can take the train to Sunset Terrace. It's more of a residential district but there are some breathtaking views there on Sunset Hill." he stopped a moment to think. He was pretty sure he covered everything, or at least most of it anyway, "I... think that about covers it all. The main stuff anyway. I'm sure you could probably find more things to see around town if you go looking for it."

"Wake up human!"

The unlucky recipient of the Labramon's tongue lay face down on the beach. He sported a black shirt, blue jeans, and an ocean blue unzipped hoodie. And he also had a pair of squared goggles wrapped around his head, but they weren't actually covering his eyes. On the sand beside him was a white sports duffle bag, with a blue baseball team logo plastered on it. It's contents amounted to a baseball practice uniform, left-handed baseball glove, two wooden bats, and a single ball. He groaned and slowly regained consciousness and tried to push the creature off him.

"Hey, knock it off Yuki." he said as he rubbed the grogginess from his eyes. Evidently he hadn't yet noticed that the thing licking him was not who he thought it was.

"But I'm over here, Tadashi." said the Blucomon, his voice coming from off to the side somewhere.

"Huh? But then who...?" the sleepiness left him and Tadashi finally saw the friendly looking dog, "Oh... just a dog." he said, not actually registering the fact that she had talked to him a second ago. Then he shot to his feet, "Oh crap, where are we? I'm supposed to be at practice now!" he snatched the nearby sport bag and was about to make a run for it, only to now fully notice his surroundings.

"Um, I don't think we're at home anymore, Tadashi." said the Blucomon, walking up beside him. His icy armored scales gleamed in the sunlight in a way that made it almost look crystalline.

Also weird side note, but I don't think a single male character in the franchise has had a 'female' digimon unless you count Kari and Mimi's kids in the 02 epilogue.

Look at how it's drawn in this game and tell me she doesn't look like most cuddly thing you've ever seen.

Speaking of Labramon, I dunno if anyone else has been playing Digimon Survive but... omg Labramon is freaking adorable and I want one.

Level 2 Roxas (4/20)

When the person from the ground level climbed up after them, Roxas and Hush stopped their advance. He shouted, something about the insect being a friend of his and that she meant no harm. As odd as that probably sounded to most people, Roxas on the other hand was a bit more willing to bite. He wasn't one to talk, having been close personal friends with a talking dog-man, duck-man, and mouse-man in the past. On the other hand, Hush was finding this a little hard to believe. And when the insect finally noticed them and demanded that Roxas come with them for questioning, that didn't exactly help matters.

"Hold on!" said Hush, having drawn his dagger in anticipating, "You're in our town, Queen Bee. That means you do what we say, not the other way around." in fact he was about to go invisible, but he stopped when a gloved hand appeared in front of him to stay his blade. It was Roxas, "Huh? Hey what's the big idea?" but then he saw the look on Roxas' face. Deadly serious, more serious than Hush had ever seen him look, in fact.

"I need you to go report what we've discovered to the others." said Roxas, with a deadly serious monotone, "I'll take this from here."

"Alone? Are you insane?" Hush protested, the Sram confused by all this, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm gonna humor them." Roxas replied, but in a more hushed tone, "...for now, anyway. I'm counting on you to discreetly bring the others here in case this goes badly."

"You'd better know what you're doing." said the Sram, who then vanished into thin air after that.

Once he was alone, Roxas focused his gaze up at the insect. This was no longer about some monster making a next. She'd said something to him that dragged up all the memories that Roxas would have preferred to leave buried. But no, she mentioned them clear as the day. The Organization. Despite them having all been wiped out at the Keyblade Graveyard, it sounded like they were trying to rear their ugly heads again. And if no one else was around, then it was just going to have to be Roxas who stepped up to put them back down again.

All of a sudden Roxas was enveloped by a black blanket of Darkness, and vanished. Barely a moment later, he was suddenly up at the Clock Tower right next to the Bee. There was no more time for pretenses. If these people had encountered his old enemies, then he would just have to be up front with them, "Start talking." he said to the Bee, flatly. He made no moves to draw any weapons, but he would also clearly look like he was in no mood to play any games, "The Organization. Where did you encounter them? And who was calling the shots? A bald old man, maybe? Or maybe a man with long silver hair?" Roxas figured it had to be one of those two. None of the others were nearly as attached to the idea behind the Organization. But the real question was just how could they have possibly come back? They should both be dead. The Guardians of Light had seen to that. And yet, this was still happening somehow.

Tadashi Ryu

Age: 16
Crest: Bonds
Personality: Focused and driven, Tadashi is a top-notch athlete and ball player. The problem is that he kinda knows it. Oh he's not super arrogant or anything, but he has had a history of having moments of overconfidence - be it on the field, at bat, or elsewhere. So while he is technically the star player on his team, his occasional overconfidence has rubbed some teammates the wrong way. But at the end of the day, Tadashi is not a bad kid by any stretch of the imagination. In fact if anything his drive is to not only be the best player he can be, but for his team to also be the best they can be. He's just not that good at expressing those feelings without it coming across as patronizing.
Backstory: Tadashi has always had a love for baseball since he was a little kid. He collected trading cards, jerseys, whatever memorabilia he could get his hands on. Naturally, he played in little league during his late elementary and junior high years, but it wasn't until high school that his talent for the game really started to show itself. In particular, he became known for two things: his fast ball and his speed as a runner.

But he did have a rather... strange experience during his first year at high school. On his way home from practice, he found himself seemingly spirited away into an empty space. But before he could start freaking out, a voice spoke to him which was enough to calm his nerves. It offered him an egg, telling him that if he cared for it and protected it, it would one day do the same for him. But he didn't have a chance to actually answer, instead finding himself back where he was previously except he was now carrying a melon-sized egg.

He snuck the egg home and kept it in his room. He couldn't explain why, but he would often talk to the egg as if it could hear and understand him. Whenever he was at home, he would rant and rave to egg about his baseball games and other things occupying his time at school. It almost felt like Tadashi had someone he could just vent to, whether it was about the good things that happened or even his frustrations. It felt good to just get things off his chest... even if it was just to an egg that never seemed to move or offer any meaningful response.

Yuki the Blucomon

Personality: He can be excitable at times, particularly when fun and games are involved. And while he acts mostly child-like while in Rookie form, that tends to melt away into a more matured personality whenever he is evolved into his later forms. Also seems to have developed a love for baseball comparable to his partner, the two having a sort of dynamic reminiscent of teammates on a baseball team.
