Veemon

Veemon's eyes widened as the young lady claimed to be the shopkeeper. "Oh! My apologies. Well then, it is a pleasure to meet you!" Veemon said with a suddenly cheerful look as he shook her hand. After Alvin introduced himself, Veemon figured he should as well. "And I'm Veemon!" As they followed Elize into the backroom, Veemon looked across the store, spotting a rack of fedoras for a split second. No way, they still have some fedoras! I want one... Veemon thought to himself. Once the fedoras were out of sight, Veemon slowly returned his focus towards entering the backroom. There were many boxes stacked up- some big, some small. All the way to the chairs set up near the desk, Veemon was looking behind him while holding his tail up, trying to avoid knocking down any boxes. "Uhh..." Veemon spoke quietly to himself. When he made it to the empty metal chair next to Alvin's, he was able to sit down in it very naturally, which felt quite nice. The only problem was that the chair was a tad cold, which brought a chill to Veemon. He got over it pretty soon, though. As Alvin glanced at Veemon, he did the same in return, with this shivering look in his body language. Veemon wondered if Alvin thought this young lady was a bit strange, too. He then looked back towards Elize, taking out the small notepad that Alvin gave him, and decided to ask her some things. "So... Miss Elize. Could you tell us more about what happened last night? Perhaps starting with the general situation? We heard something was stolen, is that correct?"

Happy "Everything you think is wrong" Day! If things don't seem to go your way, chin up, cuz tomorrow's got you covered.

Pocket memes... It's such a sad fate for a tree...

Really? I'm in the same boat. I'm trying to work on my social skills, but they seem to work better online than in real life.

Just wanted to say that I can totally relate to what your signature says. It's so me!

@James The first one didn't go entirely well... At least not the way I wished it did... Even though I was hosting the dance, I didn't really get to dance. Most of the attendees just acted like wallflowers. Pizza Roll eating, awkwardly standing wallflowers...

I wish it were possible to have another KH13 Dance, though it probably wouldn't happen due to the events of the first one...

Your avatar is pretty interesting! It's one of those... MLP-form things, right? I mean, I'm not a huge fan of that sort of thing, but it still looks kinda neat.

... are the best.

You guys...

As Veemon and Alvin were approaching the small girl, and her approaching them, Veemon was taking a quick glance around the room. There didn't seem to be anything out of place, besides the one shirt or two placed in the pants and jeans section, which made Veemon slightly annoyed, but didn't mention it. He brought his focus to the girl in front of the two. "Oh, hello. We, uh, well... Do you know where Elize Lutus is? The owner of this clothes store?" Veemon responded with a question, thinking she was simply an employee. He then lifted his arm and pointed his thumb in an approximate direction towards the Detective Agency. "We came here because of a case that was issued to our detective agency." He said, considering introducing himself and Alvin, though he did not want to accidentally burden the young lady with names if it was unnecessary, so he hesitated. Veemon had a serious, but caring tone in his voice and look on his face.

You and me both. "Am I the only one that...?" Literally every day do I see this.

Whatever the deal is with Ventus in Unchained X, I think I like where this is going.

When Alvin asked Veemon about the clothes store, Veemon thought it was a bit awkward. He stopped for a moment, letting Alvin catch up. "Heheh, well, I've only been inside to look at some of the jackets and backpacks... Though I haven't bought much clothes, considering... You know..." Veemon said, looking down at his bare feet, which had three claws on each. Veemon wasn't fitted to wear clothes like the majority of people, so he never bothered to consider wearing shorts or shoes. Jackets, maybe, but shirts were also very difficult to put on or take off due to his long, ear-like appendages on his head. "But it's still got some other nice looking clothes in stock. I think they have hats like fedoras as well. I've always wanted to try one on, but I guess I never got around to it." He laughed a bit, rubbing the back of his head. Veemon appreciated the offer of seeing Alvin's home, though he couldn't tell if Alvin really did want him to see it, or if it was simply a polite gesture. "Sure thing! If you want to show me your place sometime, I'd be fine with that." Veemon nodded. As they were approaching his apartment building, Veemon kept his eyes forward on the sidewalk ahead. "We're almost to it. The building's got a unique layout. It was tough getting used to, but it was the best place I could go to have decent access to everything I need." Veemon answered Alvin. He slowed down and looked across the street to find his apartment building on the other side. "Here we are! This is my building. Pretty neat, huh?" From here, they could see the doors of the different apartments, as well as the railing on the side on each of the four floors' exterior. The dark-blue siding reflected the other buildings and the light from the sun. "It's a bit complex at first, but it's a pretty cool place to live." He smiled at Alvin, not sure what kind of reaction to expect from him.

*sigh* Last night felt nice... I honestly needed that.

So... Still no King's Knight. Man, and I was so looking forward to playing it. Last month.

*sigh* Who am I kidding...

Space, the final frontier... Then what was the first frontier? And what about the backier?

Veemon relaxed a bit when Alvin passed him a notebook. He already had a notebook, but it would probably be best to have two for different purposes. "Oh, uh, okay. Got it. Thanks." Veemon smiled back as he turned his fist upside down and opened it to take the notebook. He put the small notebook in a small pocket on the side of his backpack for easy access. As they were headed outside, Veemon took out his phone from his backpack and texted to his mother. She lives outside the city, but still calls Veemon every so often just to check up on him, and vice versa with Veemon to her. He sent a quick text: "Made it to my first day on my new job. I already have a case! Love you!" Sent. They approached the crosswalk, and Veemon simply agreed with his partner's choice of getting to the clothes store. "Right, the clothes store on North Wright street. That isn't too far away from here. In fact, it's past my apartment building from here. While we're heading that way, I'll show you it from the outside, alright?" Veemon had smiling eyes as he looked up at Alvin. A few seconds later, the street lights switched, and they were able to walk across the street now. Veemon began walking across the road after looking both ways.

Wow, this is really awesome! I like the Organization KH13 logo in the Acrylic block, it looks pretty cool! And actually, the stickers don't look too bad either. BTW, you did an excellent job on the logos, Andrew Hankinson! I look forward to seeing more of your designs in the future. Rock on!

Man, I'm seriously one of few people who finds the idea of a Hard Mode ridiculous... If they're insta-killing me right off the bat on Normal, I can't imagine the nightmares that Hard Mode will bring. DX

*cough* Difficulty Spike *cough cough*

It's the exact opposite for me... They criticze me for not doing all my schoolwork when I'm trying to make friends and stuff. No wonder it's so hard for me to make friends in real life...

Yeah, I am sort of with you on that one, Joker. I only wished the power levels of the enemies didn't spike up so dramatically to the point of insta-kill right at the get-go. I guess that's what happens when you have an open-world game that large. I guess it's that things will become easier later on once you have more upgraded items and better stats.

And the enemies can practically insta-kill Link around the first bit of the game once you make it to the rest of the world. Them stupid-hard small guardians are some of the worst things ever.
