Digimon Secret Santa Exchange 2023: Don't blame me (you started it)

Kuga Yuuya never texted her first. Until he did.

Written for @hallowed-nebulae for the @digisecretsanta 2023 exchange! :3

a/n: i'm your secret santa and (like i said on ao3 lol) i'm not entirely familiar with the digimon world series, or i wasn't until recently, so i hope i did your two favorites, Rina & Yuuya, justice!! i've enjoyed the gameplay so far of Re:digitize Decode and i enjoyed writing these two. i hope you have a safe and merry Christmas, and happy holidays!! <333 :D

Oh, and here's my Digimon discord server if you wanna yell abt digimon with us!

Read on AO3! || Read below the cut:

Kuga Yuuya did not texted her first.

It wasn’t something subjective—it was a simple, known fact! She wasn’t sure Yuuya texted anyone first. Often, when Rina texted him, Yuuya left her (very cruelly) on read. Sometimes he left her on delivered. Which was like, extremely rude, thank you very much.

(Granted, none of those messages were because of actual emergencies, but still. Her memes were nonetheless very important and warranted a response. But Yuuya had ignored her. Because of course he did. The jerk.)

So, naturally, when Rina’s phone vibrated and pinged, and Yuuya’s contact lit up her screen, Rina gaped. She blinked, surprised, and it took several moments to register that oh yeah, she should read the message.

Hey, Yuuya had written plainly. Jeesh, and he called everyone else boring.

Yeah, the world had totally ended. Sometime in the last few minutes, the world had ended and Rina had died and gone to an afterlife where apparently Kuga Yuuya texted her first.

She debated on calling him to see what was up, but that ran the risk of scaring him off because he didn’t even text, let alone call; so Rina leaned back in her chair and did what she did best.

Rina: hey!!!! ┌( ＾◡＾ )┘whatcha up to???

Yuuya: Studying. You use a lot of exclamation points, Rina-san.

Rina: and u text like the heir of the gigo company lol

Yuuya: Is… that a good or a bad thing?

Rina blinked again, her lips curving into a frown. She narrowed her eyes at her screen suspiciously, and who could blame her? Since when did Yuuya care about her opinion of him?

Rina: not bad!!! was just kiddin lol (≧_≦)

Yuuya: Okay.

She sent him another text that mostly consisted of emotes and exclamation points (perhaps proving his point), and this time, it took a while for Yuuya to respond. At least a good ten minutes.

Yuuya: What about you? What’re you up to?

Okay. Wow. She peeked out her bedroom window—yep, still snowing. Which meant it was still mid-December and she was still in Japan. Maybe. Probably. If she wasn’t… did it snow in the afterlife? To what afterlife had she been sent, for Yuuya to not only respond but ask about her in return? Smug, snooty Yuuya? What the hell was even happening? She couldn’t even begin to know the answer to that. 

Instead, she answered Yuuya.

Rina: just chillin!!! not really doing much haha it’s boring w/o V.V. here tbh

Yuuya: I see.

Another pause followed. Rina stood from her chair and made her way to her bed to sprawl out, phone in hand, as she awaited the continuation of their conversation. She got bored waiting on minute three and decided she couldn’t handle the suspense anymore.

Rina: so whats up???

Yuuya: I’m studying.

Rina: well duh u said that already i meant why did u text me

Yuuya: You text me all the time.

Rina: yeah! but u like never answer soooooo

Yuuya: Sorry.

Oh good god, okay. Yuuya, apologizing? Prideful, arrogant Yuuya? Maybe she’d gone to some alternate dimension—somewhere that wasn’t the digital world—where everything was the same except for one fifteen-year-old Kuga Yuuya.

She frowned again, this time in contemplation. As she pondered how to respond, she kicked her feet idly against her bed, tapping the back of her phone case if only to keep her fingers moving.

She wondered absentmindedly if his dad scolded him or something. From what she knew, Kuga Kenzou was more insufferable than Yuuya—which, of course, made sense considering he was Yuuya’s father—so it wasn’t much of a stretch to say he wasn’t all that great of a parent.

Her chest ached inexplicably at the thought and her frown deepened.

Rina: is ur dad being a bitch

Yuuya: Huh?

Rina: ya know ur dad is he being a bitch lol

Yuuya: I don’t see what he has to do with the conversation.

Then, after about a minute:

Yuuya: Father is always being a bitch.

Rina: lol!! i believe it honestly

And because Rina was a gremlin with no sense of self-control: 

Rina: his ass must really hurt from the stick shoved in it

Yuuya: Lol.

Rina blinked once more in surprise and then grinned at her screen because this was another new thing—Yuuya laughing at a joke? A joke she made? She didn’t even know Yuuya could laugh, much less over text. She didn’t know he even had a sense of humor.

They spent the next hour or so texting, with Rina sending memes (the normal amount) and emotes (also the normal amount) and Yuuya telling her that it was, in fact, not the normal amount. Eventually, the time between Yuuya’s responses grew longer and longer, and Rina assumed that he’d averted his full attention back to studying.

Rina: ur a fun texter lol

Rina: not as fun as me obviously but still fun just sayin

She sent it without really expecting a response right away, but she was surprised yet again when the reply came in only a few minutes.

Yuuya: Wow. One person approves of my texting habits.

Rina laughed out loud. This was a fun side of Yuuya to see.

(And no, it wasn’t because she felt a little warm inside that he seemed to trust her enough to make jokes with her.)

(She didn’t feel warm inside at all.)

(Yuuya was simply growing on her.)

(Like a fungus.)

Yuuya: Is this supposed to be an honor or a shame, since the person is Rina-san?

Her laugh quickly turned into a scandalized gasp as she stared down at her phone in offense. No, she changed her mind. Yuuya wasn’t growing on her.

“Rude,” she said aloud as if he could hear her, without any hint of fondness in her voice. None at all. "Yer such a punk."

Oh, who was she kidding—she sent him memes, shitposts, and festive, holiday-themed selfies every day after that for the rest of the month. If he was pissed about it, well, he texted her first.

I think a lot about Lucemon from Digimon World Re:digitize: Decoded and Digimon World: Next Order because neither are technically evil, at least not intentionally.

Spoilers, if you haven't checked out the games, I guess?

Decoded Lucemon is pretty much a little kid that got seperated by it's gaurdian and friend angemon and kidnapped by Barbamon (most likely the very same one you confront with Rina in Cyber Sleuth, yep...). Lucemon, along with several other unfortunate digimon, was tortured and experimented by Barabamon and left for dead calling for help in a bolted prison cell until the protagonist breaks it open only to see him succum to his injuries. This results in the child Lucemon's digicore being overcome by malice and turning to Falldown Mode. Barbamon adds insult to injury by continuing to brainwash Lucemon FM to the point where he's become a mindless killing machine. Eventually, it digivolves into Lucemon SM and almost destroys both the digital world and the real world. After it's defeated, Lucemon's (rookie/child level) spirit thanks you for stopping it, says that everything should return to normal on its own, and the spirit returns home. Needless to say, Lucemon's circumstances in De:code is kinda horrifying and Barbamon is the worst.

And then there is -Next 0rder-'s Lucemon who is arguably the most chill Lucemon so far (both figuratively and literally, you meet him in an ice dungeon during post-game content). Many, if not all, of the digimon who were initially introduced in Digimon lore and animes as villains are a lot more laid-back and sometimes down right friendly in-game and some don't need to fight you in order for them to become your ally (It's kinda refreshing, really). The Lucemon here is no different, and in-fact takes a very unique interest in the protagonist, first approching you as a rookie to tell you that they've been watching you since the begining of your journey, and then challenging you in FM and later SM, albiet asking the player some philisophical questions over "what defines good and evil" to either test, startle, or just confuse the protag. Once the fighting is done Lucemon confirms that it's not the protagonist's strength that defines them as a force of good but rather the their perserverence and conviction. They also start talking in a more casual tone with you and join the city where you've been recruiting a whole bunch of other digimon to live in. They also help you out in a DLC quest with Beezlebumon, which is pretty neat!

Can't rememer if this is correct but I believe Next 0rder Lucemon also keeps track of your in-game movements. From wins and loses, money earned, traversed areas?, etc.

happy odaiba day everyone. go read my digimon fics if you want (or don't, if you don't want to, i can't tell you what to do)

My experience with Digimon so far:

[beycrafter]

I know this mask is mostly likely a reference to Digimon that wear gas masks but the first thing that popped into my head was..

“Are you my mummy?”

[ryunumber]

Does Patamon from Digimon have a Ryu number?

Patamon the species cannot have a Ryu Number.

T.K.'s Patamon, however, has a Ryu Number of 3 2.

(CORRECTION: Per @frozen-kappa, Takeru and his Patamon appear in Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode, giving him a Ryu Number of 2.)

Biyomon BT11-007 by Takase from BT-11 Booster Dimensional Phase

This card shows Digitorin and Akiho in the Railroad Plains near the entrance to the Luminous Cave from Digimon World Re:Digitize. This is likely a reference to the event, from DW Re:Digitize Decode, of Digitorin asking for the Player's help after Akiho had run off playing with a bunch on Baby Digimon.

Author's notes below;

So for some context; in order to get Magnamon, you need to beat Daisuke in the Coliseum (I think three times), not counting rooftop battles during post-game. The last time you fight him with Magnamon on Floor 40, that's how he unlocks as an obtainable evolution.

Now, guess who didn't know that at the time, because I couldn't read Japanese and forgot about doing that?

Yyyyyyep.

So I finished Digimon World Re:Digitize! The PsP one I dont have a PC that can work with 3DS stuff.

And I reaaaaalllyyyy enjoyed it. It really felt like I was exploring File Island and meeting actual digimon with their lives and everything! And the way you work your way up to having the town be as full of digimon as possible and the quality of stuff there increased? Amazing stuff, felt really rewarding!

It has some issues but its not really fair to complain because Decode fixed tons of this stuff, so in the end I had (sadly) to play the inferior version.

And Vitium? Really cool!!!! I loved everything about them, and the final talk with them was extremely cool. This specific dialogue catched my attention and is one of my favourites in the franchise

I feel you Vitium.

I liked this experience, now I want to play Digimon World Next Order, I know it's not as "WOAH SO GOOD" as this one but the quality of life will help me enjoy it a lot

[antirepurp]

What's the training gym in Next Order like? Does it work like ReDigitize Decode?

it's actually a lot more simplified and streamlined in next order. you access all training types from a single machine and the bonus game for all of them is the same roulette that moves at a much more reasonable pace where it's easier to hit bonus:

all sorts of boosts also add spots to the roulette making it even easier

the downside that i would argue it to have is that the early and mid game can easily be handled with just training at the gym, but once you unlock the final area the difficulty ramps up really hard and effectively asks you to learn to grind from battling wild digimon. it does let you get higher stats quicker in terms of your digimons' lifespans, but takes a lot more gameplay time, and the game never really focuses on it during the tutorial phase and with how little stats you seem to gain from battling it's not immediately obvious that it's the more efficient way to get stronger. i had to rely on this guide on good training spots (spoilers for locations in the game btw) on my very first playthrough to actually get through chapter 4 (the final chapter) because i had only been using the gym up until that point and it just wasn't enough anymore. i do like grinding through battles tbf it's a lot more active than the gym, but it is time-consuming and the main reason why i modded the pc version so i wouldn't have to go through with it this time around lol

i do kind of prefer re:digitize decode's gym mechanics solely because the grinding is faster with those, or would be if you didn't have to use save states for the bonuses, but next order did make it easier and made battling a more useful avenue as well if you know what you're doing that is
