You know you have to. Whether M is a trustful ally or one of those who want you dead, M might know something about your predicament. You have to go. Sure, Mermaimon told you not to leave your room... but she did say that if you did, Minervamon would get to punish you. ....Here's hoping it's a spanking!

You did as M said in the notes and dialed them into your digivice. You waited a few minutes for the information to finish loading, until a map of Lost Paradise Atlantis is finally uploaded. You see a blinking yellow light over the section that says 'Seven Deadly Sins Casino'... that complex in a corner between the 'Red Rooster' sports bar and 'DigiGirls! DigiGirls! DigiGirls!' (oh goodie! The Knights didnt ban stripclubs!). You know the dangers of strolling around a casino park in the middle of the night underaged, but this is for your own good.

You snuck out of your room and headed down the hall, toward the elevator. You listened to what you think was a modified version of 'Someday' from Nickelback until the elevator reached the bottom floor. The receptionist at the front was too occupied with her newspaper to notice you sneaking out.
The nightlife was gorgeous on this island. The night sky was lit up by the stars and the streets were lit up by the endless amount of flashy lit up signs. Neon signs, flashy lights, pictures of scantily clad digi-chicks, huge video titantrons advertising entertainment, lots and lots of heavy traffic and horns blowing. It was like stepping into Las Vegas... not that you've ever personally been there.

You dared not give any single digimon bystander you pass any eyecontact, what with the fact that you recognized a lot of them at high-levels. If any of them wanted to shake you down, all they'd need to do is team up and youre defenseless. It felt awfully lonely without any of Mermaimon's security backing you, especially Minervamon. You ignored the beggars, hookers, street merchants, hustlers, everybody your parents always warned you about and kept walking, keeping your undivided attention on the direction of the yellow light on your digivice.

*BOING!*

Oops! Too bad you didnt notice that you were walking head on into two big soft fleshy cushions! By the time you realized this, you were staring into a round pink jewel as your head was already squished between the cushions! Yep, those cushions were boobs!
You immediately backed away hoping you didnt offend the beautiful endowed tall blonde woman in red wrapped in yellow thorns with a huge rose pedal on her head, conveniently covering her eyes! Oh fuck... a Rosemon! You noticed her jaw was dropping in surprise as two small little Lalamon's next to her were staring your direction (Mother and two children, perhaps?)

"I-I-I-I'm very very sorry, ma'am!" you apologized, "I'll watch where I'm going from now on!" Fortunately, Rosemon didnt seem look mad, just surprised (you think. Once again, eyes are covered!) You sidestepped around the Rosemon and Lalamons and kept walking (here's hoping those two dont tell Daddy on you!)

Anyways, it wasnt long before you reached the huge beautiful flashy casino which read 'Seven Deadly Sins'. The place lit up with several colorful symbols of Demon Lords. Hell, the waitresses there dressed up as Lilithmons as they served drinks.The big bad security guards dressed as Belphemons. The poker dealers dressed as Lucemons... even the female dealers! Although it was still a warming upbeat atmosphere, a casino with a Demon Lord theme still kinda gave you the creeps. Hopefully you wont need to to stay for long. Just listen to what M has to tell you and get out.

Speaking of which, you get another message. It said 'Meet me over at the table by the bar right next to the little statue of Belphemon in Sleepmode -M' Easy enough. You could see the that particular table just a short ways away from you. God the statue is so cute... if you didnt know his other form, you'd want to give it a big hug!
As you headed to that table, you got another message on your digivice. This time it wasnt from M. No from address, just a simple message reading, 'Your friends can help you. No one can! Sleep with one eye open! ;D'

"Shove it up your ass," you whispered.

You immediately erased your assassin's message and headed to the table. No one was there. Your friend, M was nowhere to be in sight. Just a radio transmitter on the table. Hm...

*click!*
"Mr. Rosewood. Can you hear me?" said the voice from the transmitter. The voice was modified and distorted, making it hard to even determine male or female, let alone M's identity!
"Yeah, it's me," you whispered, "where are you?"
"I'm afraid I cant tell you yet," M replied, "I'm being hunted down as well and if word got out that we're together, our lives would be cut incredibly short." Great. More mysteries.
"Look, I dont have a lot of time," you whispered to the transmitter, "I'm supposed to be in the comfort of a nice warm bed back at my new home. Not couped up in the middle of a creepy casino full of drunks and a-holes."
"Ahem! Youre the one who's freely going out in public!" replied M, "you have any idea the hassle I went through to find that stupid microchip for your ILLEGAL digivice without getting caught?!"

"Alright alright," you didnt want to argue, you'd rather cut to the chase, "so what's this about?"
"Let me start off by saying, nice job dealing with the Inquisitor," M told you, "about time SOMEBODY finally put that bitch in her place!" ugh... you can STILL feel that damn whip! "Second... I kinda know a bit of your past."
"What do you know?" you immediately ask.

"Uh... well... my family knew you pretty well," M's answer sparked your interest, "heck, it was you that helped get my mom and dad together." Hm, a child of someone you knew? Doesnt narrow anything thorough down, but...
"Who are your parents?"
"You know I cant tell you that," M answered, "theyre in trouble as well. Theyre being targeted and they dont know it."
"Tragic, but what do you want me to do about it?"

"I need your help," M cut to the chase, "I know you got a lot of questions about what happened since before the Flood, and I managed to find out a couple crucial answers. Including your assassin."
"Do you know who the assassin is?"
"Yeah... your assassin happens to work for my dad. I think he's in trouble." Interesting.

Before you could question M further, you nearly jumped when someone slammed their hand on your table! Thankfully it was just a pretty waitress, leaning your direction and smiling at you. She looked way too cute and innocent to be a Lilithmon, although the outfit and makeup did look nice on her. Youre especially glad she let her died black hair down, instead of putting it in a bun! You stuffed the transmitter in your pocket as the gentle Lilithmon had eyes on you..
"Hiya cutie!" she said with a heartwarming smile, "welcome to Seven Deadly Sins. I'm Angie, I'll be your waitress this evening! May I suggest our $6.66 midnight special? Philly cheesesteak sandwich with onions, mushrooms, and three kinds of cheese served with a side of fries. Only $6.66!"

Cheesesteak sounds good. And as luck would have it, you remembered to bring a few 20 dollar bills with you. However, you were in the middle of a very important conversation.
Then AGAIN, do you dare turn such a cute waitress like Angie down? Surely you had a little time....
