The mutual not-quite-animosity between Marauder and Yurie pulled a sigh from Melody's lips, and she quietly stood to her feet to look between the two creatures.  Gaossmon and Agumon...  Or rather, Marauder and Kuro.  She'd never heard of any such creatures in her life!  And yet, here they were, talking as though it were the most natural thing in the world that they would be!  Come to think of it, Melody had never known [i]any[/i] creature to talk before!  Other than a rather colorful parrot a friend of hers once showed her, though it wasn't nearly as capable of conversation as these two.

[color=DA7EE0]"Yes, by all means, lead us to your village!"[/color] Melody answered cheerfully.  [color=DA7EE0]"I would very much like to meet more of you strange creatures!  You're most fascinating!"[/color]  After a moment's consideration, she squatted down beside Kuro and gently reached out to poke him.  Soft, testing touches to his head and shoulders.  Not exactly mindful of personal space, granted, but it wasn't painful.  [color=DA7EE0]"Truly fascinating...  Your scales feel as smooth as skin, yet harder than any I've ever felt before!"[/color]  She giggled and withdrew when Kuro began to swat at her finger to drive her back.  She stood to her feet and brushed off her skirt, then looked to the group-

[color=ba4bff]"BWWAAAAAAAAAAGH!"[/color]

[color=DA7EE0]"EEEYYYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"[/color]  The face of a flying gremlin suddenly appeared barely an inch from her own!  Her scream echoed throughout the entire area, and she stumbled back so quickly that she tripped and fell on her backside.

[color=ba4bff]"AAAAAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA!  Oh- Oh my- Your FACE!"[/color]  The gremlin was clutching her sides, laughing hysterically.  [color=ba4bff]"I haven't gotten anybody that good in [i]years![/i]"[/color]

[color=DA7EE0]"Wha- Who-  What on earth are [i]you?![/i]"[/color]  Melody had never seen anything quite like it.  The creature looked like she was in a purple jumpsuit, yet her skin was completely white!  Little fangs flashed in her mouth as she cackled, floating in the air before her.

[color=ba4bff]"Impmon, obviously!"[/color] she answered, as though it were common knowledge.  [color=ba4bff]"What do I look like, an Angemon?  What, did I scare the sense outta your head or something?  ...Actually, now that I think about it..."[/color]  She turned to look at all of the gathered humans, eyebrow rising higher with every moment.  [color=ba4bff]"What the heck are all of [i]you?[/i]"[/color]
