Log I, Part 3 Oblivion Ascent 07-06-2011 08:54 PM (@Vincan: In return for the use of Siggy in your last post, I'm just going to use Leon as part of a plot point.) Darkness. That was all Siggy saw as the Electric Train that was taking him to the other side of the city, where the rendevous point was located, entered a small tunnel. He began to think back over the events of the last week. Himself, Leon and their two Digimon had met up on a few days to practice DNA Digivolution, but aside from that, he hadn't seen much of the others, due to him living a sizeable distance from them. At the same time, NeonGuilmon, who was now back in his MonoGigimon form due to the multiple DNA Digivolution Practices, had mentioned that he wouldn't be able to re-access his Examon form for a while yet, due to something involving the 'Combining of Manly Spirits'. If you asked Siggy, he would say that his partner watched too much Super Robot Anime. "Are we there yet?" Siggy's train of thought was cut off by the voice of his little sister, who was sitting next to him, the round, monochrome form of MonoGigimon in her arms "No, Ari, it's going to be another ten or so minutes yet." "'Kay," The Little girl said, quietly, before piping down, and closing her eyes in an attempt to get to sleep. Siggy sighed. During the week intermission between the last full meeting, Ari had met Leon, and more importantly, she had met his Digimon, Veemon. The girl had taken a shine to the little blue dino, nicknaming him 'Spiky', for some reason or other. This would have been all fine and good, if not for the fact that Ari had instantly started to bug her older brother into bringing her to the next meeting. Any chance of nipping the problem in the bud was eliminated when MonoGigimon saw this as a chance to one-up his partner, and insisted that the little girl tagged along. So, not wanting to get into an arguement with a six year old and a black blob, Siggy had reluctantly agreed. __________________________________________________ _______________ 20 Minutes Later __________________________________________________ _______________ "Hurry up, Fluffy!" "Can it, Squishy," Siggy grumbled at his partner as they began to ascend the stairs to Lucas's apartment, with Ari stumbling along behind the former, while carrying the latter. His partner chose to ignore the last jab, and the trio reached the end of the stairs, and headed for the apartment door, which appeared to be open. "Morning, guys," Siggy said, standing in the doorway. At the same time, Ari poked her head out from around her older brother's legs, looking around the room. As soon as she caught sight of Leomon, in all of his intimidating glory, she squeaked, and quickly went back to hiding behind Siggy's legs. vincanity0011210 07-07-2011 09:38 PM "Wow, you guys must all really hate rap" Leon said, rolling his eyes as his phone quickly went into his pocket. As they went inside the apartment, Leon thought out loud. "I wonder what today's issue will be.... it seems to happen every week." As they reached Lucas's apartment, Siggy quickly arrived right after them with a small guest that Leon recognized as Ari. "Oh hey Ari! Nice to see you again. Short Stuff is in my backpack if you want to play with him!" Leon said, putting down his backpack and taking DemiVeemon out. "Ari! Bash Brother! Some of my favorite people!" Demiveemon squeaked out in happiness before running over to Ari with a grin on. "Don't scare her DV. She isn't used to all the others yet!" Mattmanganon 07-07-2011 09:50 PM Yaamon saw Ari and remembered some of NeonGuilmons stories and they weren't pretty. he attempted to hide in the bag of bread that Zei had brought, he was just a head after all. Dirk walked over to the bag and looked in it. "wuss. hey Ari!!!" he said. "Pineapple head, you bring her over here and i swear you will find a stinky present on your pillow in the morning." said Yaamon. Dirk smiled. "never mind." Yaamon then set about emptying the bag into his never-ending stomach. Dirk then turned around. "so... i quickly want to discuss something..." he said. "about the incident last week, i know that we have been reluctant to talk about it, but there is a very real chance of it happening to any one of us, so i'm afraid that we will have to address this Elephant in the room at some point. i want to know what we plan to do if it happens to you, i was lucky that Kate was still alive or you would have had to wait for me to run out of energy or even put me down, so... i want everyone to know that should it happen again and if Kate isn't going to be able to save me, i want you to put me down then and there." he said. "DRAMA QUEEN!!!" came a call from the bag shortly followed by a thump and yelp as Dirks fist collided sharply with Yaamon. Vocalia 07-09-2011 04:37 PM It was Zei and Dorumon's first time of meeting Ari. Needless to say, the girl was rather happy to have a young child around. Zei loved children, even if some could be a little too rambunctious to her liking, and little Ari was no exception. She remembered Siggy talking about her a while back. "Hello. You must be Ari." She looked at her. "Nice to meet you." She said with a bright smile. Dorumon, on the other hand, showed normal curiosity at the newcomer. She sniffed her all around before standing in front of her. The Digimon towered Ari slightly in size and height. Slowly, her head moved close to her face and, in a strange turn, Dorumon gently clamped her jaws on the side of Ari's head while grinning gleefully. She didn't hurt her, however, as she was simply interested in seeing her reactions. Dorumon also loved children, but more in a sense that she could tease them. Oblivion Ascent 07-09-2011 11:57 PM As DemiVeemon came bounding towards her, Ari popped her head out from around her brother's legs, a grin splitting her face. "Spiky!" As she yelled out her nickname for the little blue digimon, she dropped MonoGigimon, and rushed over towards him. "Oomph," MonoGigimon grunted, as he landed face-first onto the floor of the apartment. Siggy just chuckled, and picked the Black Blob up. "Tossed away like rotten fruit," He snarked, eliciting an angry grunt from his partner. He turned to look at Dirk, who had just spoken some... rather heartfelt words. "That's a mighty big thing to say. You sure about that?" Siggy asked, rather sincerely. At this point, Ari had picked DemiVeemon up, holding him as she had held MonoGigimon. When Zei began to talk to her, the little girl turned to the older girl, and was about to reply, when Dorumon came up to her and started sniffing her. And then bit the side of her head. There was a sudden quiet, fearful squeak from the girl as she tensed up in fright, closing her eyes. She then re-opened one, and looked up at Zei. "Um, m-miss. Is y-your D-digimon trying to eat m-me? I d-don't t-taste good..." Vocalia 07-10-2011 12:28 AM "Dorumon!" Zei raised her voice in exasperation. "Okay, okay! You humans are so easily frightened..." Dorumon chuckled and let Ari go before rubbing her muzzle against her cheek. "I have no taste for children. Besides, you're too sweet."Dorumon said to Ari and went to the bags to grab something to eat, only to find out that Yaamon had hid inside one of them while devouring his share of the bread. A mischievous idea popped into her head as she tied the bag close, trapping Yaamon in it. "Here's a toy for you to play with." She handed the bag with Dirk's Digimon in it to Ari. "Be gentle with him, okay?" She smiled, a mixture of a gentle smile and an evil grin. Mattmanganon 07-10-2011 01:31 AM Yaamon looked at Ari in a look of shock. then at Zei. "i... will... murder... you..." he said slowly before the little purple head Digimon was scooped up in the arms of the small child, then prodded, poked and having his cheeks pulled. knowing full well that he couldn't fight back. "come on Phantomon, come for me now!!!" he pleaded. Dirk smiled. "i did nothing, it serves you right for being a pig." he said. "your after her." said Yaamon. "now who's being the drama queen?" asked Dirk. Vocalia 07-10-2011 02:03 AM Zei laughed sheepishly. "I'm sorry, Yaamon..." She said, helpless to stop her Digimon partner from handing him to Ari. She turned to Dirk. "I'm sorry about Dorumon..." She whispered to him before turning to Ari. "Ari, are you hungry?" She asked and handed her a chocolate bread. "Siggy, why don't you come in?" She smiled at him. Of all the Digidestinied, she saw Siggy as the elder figure amongst the rest of them. As such, she held him in a level of respect. But she also cared for the others. Mattmanganon 07-10-2011 10:08 AM Dirk turned to everyone. "alright, everyone, i was waiting for everyone to get here, so since we're all here. i think that we have been working too hard, i think that everyone is stressed to hell and we need time to cool our jets and just kick back and relax. so..." he pulled out a photo. "Kate's brother owns a beach hut. she told me that he invited her or any of her to use it so, who's up for a trip to the beach?" he asked. Oblivion Ascent 07-10-2011 10:41 AM Siggy smiled back at Zei, stepping inside and setting MonoGigimon down. Said Digimon shot straight across the room, jumped into the air, and made a perfect landing on a sofa cushion. "Perfect Landing!" He yelled boastfully. Siggy's response was to roll his eyes, and sit down next to his partner, picking him up again, and placing him on his knee. When Dirk mentioned the beach trip, Siggy paused. "... Eh?" He had to admit, that offer came a little out of nowhere. As Dorumon rubbed herself against her, Ari gave her a little wide-eyed stare, before relaxing, and grinning, petting the Digimon that she had previously believed to be trying to eat her. "Then I will name you 'Bitey'!" When Dorumon threw Yaamon at her, she carefully caught him, and proceded to strip him of his dignity, in the process nicknaming him 'Lumpy'. Vocalia 07-10-2011 11:01 AM Dorumon wasn't so keen on using her newly acquired nickname, but Yaamon's own made her roll on the floor, laughing her digital heart out. "Oh hail the mighty Lumpy!" She teased him and laughed. However, Dorumon's laughter sounded like the cruel cackle of a witch. Hearing how her Digimon partner laughed, it reminded Zei of a visual novel she used to read a few years ago, titled Umineko No Naku Koro Ni. Dorumon's laughter was eerily akin to the cruel-sounding laughter the titular witch, Beatrice. At Dirk's vacational proposition, Zei was slightly taken off track. "... Eh?" She paused, blinking in slight disbelief. Mattmanganon 07-10-2011 11:46 AM "well it might be out of no-where but it was Kate's idea. she said that it would be good for us to relax." he said. "so, who's up for it?" Mattmanganon 07-10-2011 09:23 PM Dirk stood on the waterfront looking out at the ocean, it had been a nightmare trying to get here, Yaamon had almost bitten 3 people. 2 of them children wanting to play with him, the last was a man that inspected him to see where his price tag was. but now the Digidestined were standing looking out with the warm sun on their skin. Dirk had a white snort sleaved shirt and swimming shorts, Yaamon was wearing Sun-Glasses "well, let's get down to relaxing." "i will never understand humans, they bake themselves to relax." he digivolved to Impmon and took off the sunglasses that he had been wearing. "why couldn't we go somewhere cold?" he asked. "you like cold?" Dirk turned to the others. "who thinks we should chuck him in the ocean?" he asked. Vocalia 07-10-2011 11:15 PM Zei and Dorumon had no objections to the relaxation week. Zei, wearing a white two-piece bikini and Dorumon, wearing nothing, now looked out to the ocean as the former enjoyed the salty breeze. When Dirk asked if anyone wanted to threw Impmon into the ocean, Dorumon raised her paw. "We definitely should, although I doubt that he could swim. I don't think sharks would like a taste of him either." She teased him and grinned, her tail flicking playfully. Oblivion Ascent 07-10-2011 11:34 PM Upon hearing Dirk asking whether they should throw Impmon in the ocean, Ari's ears pricked up. "Can I do it?" She asked, innocently. The little girl was wearing a blue T-Shirt, with her swimming costume underneath it, while her older brother was in the same getup as Dirk, with a blue shirt instead of a white one. Said older brother just rolled his eyes at the request softly flicking her ear. "Behave," he said, with a little chuckle. The girl's response was to cross her arms, and look hurt before sticking her tongue out at her older brother. "Meanie!" Siggy just chuckled again, before remembering something. "Where's NeonGuilmon?" PsychoScythe 07-11-2011 12:10 AM Lucas grinned, lounging on the beach next to Elecmon. Lucas himself was wearing a dark red tank top and swimming trunks, and was seriously considering punting Impmon out into the ocean for shits and giggles. Elecmon himself was tempted too, as well. "...Can I do it?" Elecmon asked, while munching on a stick of strawberry Pocky. "Go for it. See if you can make him bounce." Lucas smirked, as he laid on his towel, relaxing. With that, Elecmon whooped in joy before lunging at Impmon, intending to pick him up by the tail and toss him with his mouth. Mattmanganon 07-11-2011 01:39 PM Impmon had been backing away from Dorumon slowly when Dirk heard Siggy asking where NeonGuilmon was. Dirk looked around but failed to see the little black Dinosaur. "maybe we left him on the bus." said Dirk. nah, that wasn't possible, the bus was empty when they had gotten off. "i'm sure that he's around. you want me to go look for him?" asked Dirk. "i'll just hop on Devimon and we'll be off." he said. "and i don't think Impmon is in a position to complain." "yeah i'm fine with that." said Impmon looking for any excuse to get away. Vocalia 07-11-2011 01:53 PM "Are you sure? Digivolving out of nowhere can be risky. After all, we're out in the open." Zei replied. "Let me and Dorumon help looking for him as well. Two heads are better than one, as you put it..." She smiled. Dorumon didn't seem to mind, but then she noticed Impmon moving away from her. A creepy grin crept up her face as she approached him instead as he was moving away."What's wrong, Lumpy?" She asked with an eerie tone, which made her look like some sort of Digimon witch. Draconis Nevyn 07-11-2011 03:15 PM Elle was at the beach, she'd decided to have a nice relaxing walk on the beach without Candlemon moaning that she hadn't let him fight in those two battles. Elle had met him when he was DemiMeramon and she was happy with him. Unfortunately, like the rest of the digimon she had encontered, Candlemon had an urge for battle, which Elle did not share with him. Elle was lying down on the sand, her eyes closed as she relaxed with Candlemon sitting beside her in companionable silence. Elle heard the chatter of people as a group settled down nearby, though Elle was on the other side of a small dune, separating her from them. Candlemon gave a sigh as Elle's digivice went off and she sat up to check it. She read the information on the digimon and she was surprised, she hadn't thought the group were digimon, "Candlemon, can you check it out please?" she asked him and he gave her a grin that some would have thought was evil, but Elle knew otherwise and it was his happy smile. Though almost all of his facial expressions seemed quite dark. "Sure thing, partner" he said and with that he stood up and hopped over to the top of the dune, the fireball on his head like a beacon as he shouted down to her "They're like us, they have partners, Elle" Elle relaxed at the knowledge and sighed, "well we can leave them then, Candlemon" The Digimon came back down, but reluctantly, his flame, flickering, easy to notice even in the sunlight. Mattmanganon 07-11-2011 06:13 PM "well actually, there are very few people that live around here so we don't have to worry about the locals or our digimon being spotted." replied Dirk. he then for the first time really got a look at Zei in her bikini. he sniffled a bit of blood back up his nose. Impmon saw the Candlemon on the Beach and grabbed Dirks leg. "hey, Pineapple head, there's a digimon over there." he said. Dirk saw it too. he looked at the information on his Digivice. Candlemon was apparently a digimon that enjoyed frightening people "oh come on we came here to relax, you guys go have fun and get the party started, it's only a little one, me and Impmon will go squash him. some on Impmon." "Impmon Digivolve to... Devimon!!!" and Devimon ran over the hill. Dirk then saw a girl with a Digivice with the Candlemon. "WOAH WOAH WOAH, DEVIMON!!!" Yelled Dirk Devimon was about to attack when he heard Dirk, he quickly lowered his claws. "another Digidestined." he said. "HEY GUYS, COME OVER HERE, THERE'S ANOTHER DIGIDESTINED!!!" he yelled over the hill, he then turned back to the new girl "i thought we had met all of the Digidestined that were out there." Oblivion Ascent 07-11-2011 06:37 PM "To be honest, I'm not that worried about him. He may act like a knob sometimes, but he isn't the kind to go running off into trouble." __________________________________________________ _________________ Siggy's assumptions were correct, as NeonGuilmon was currently out of sight, taking a nap in the shade of a tree. He was also snoring, with the occasional bit of sleeptalk. "Zzz... Crusadermon is f_cking gay... Zzz..." __________________________________________________ _________________ Back to the present, Siggy's ears 'pricked up' when he heard the little tidbit of information regarding the other Digidestined. "Another one? Good Grief," He mumbled in disbelief, as he got up and made his way over the beach to see the newcomer. Vocalia 07-11-2011 06:58 PM "Another Digidestinied?" Zei turned to Dirk and followed him. Dorumon followed suit, prefering not to Digivolve. She noticed Candlemon in a distance. "Well... This is certainly a surprise." She mused. Seeing that the Digidestinied was a girl, Zei felt a sense of relief. Dorumon looked at Candlemon curiously and sniffed at him. vincanity0011210 07-11-2011 10:33 PM During the discussion about the beach, Leon's usual talkative demeanor was reduced to a statuesque type. He watched the others talk amongst themselves and kept an eye on his partner, making sure the DemiVeemon didn't go overboard with the playing around. The idea of the beach raised his eyebrows, a confused look on his face. "Wait... you all want to go to the beach?" he asked, tone very annoyed by the idea. After all BlacWarGreymon did to stop Kirk and Impmon's attack on the city, they were going to leave his partner in trouble? This didn't sit well with Leon, but he sighed it away before making his way through the door. Leon was the last one to arrive at the beach. Demiveemon had went with Ari, allowing her to play with him. DV was very easy going and enjoyed the playful nature of the little girl. Leon took the long way to the beach, heading back to his home first. While he was there he filled a duffel bag with a change of clothes, some spare clothes for the others and the usual beach gear. Looking into the mirror, he sighed for a moment before taking off his usual clothes to put on swim shorts. Grabbing his camera Leon headed out the door with the bag and made his way through the city until he reached the beach. Dirk's yell caught his attention and gave him a direction to head in. Soon all of his partners came into view. Approaching the new digidestined with his eyes raised he came in time to hear Siggy's and Zei's commented. "Okay. We can talk about her like she's a surprising exhibit at a museum or... we can use manners?" he said, looking around at the others. A familiar smirk passed by his face before he held out his hand to the new girl. "I'm Leon. Nice to meet ya. My parter is the little blue dino over there" he said, nodding over to DemiVeemon who had a smile on at seeing the new Tamer. "The hot-headed one that tried to attack you is Devimon with his Tamer Dirk. We got my new buddy Siggy and his sister Ari and his partner Neonguilmon, and our beautiful lass here is Zei and Dorumon, who likes to bite people's heads." PsychoScythe 07-11-2011 10:42 PM "And you forgot me. I'm so hurt, Leon." Lucas smirked at Leon, walking up to the newcomer with Elecmon alongside him. "I'm Lucas, and this Pocky-obsessed ball of fur is Elecmon." He said, extending his hand for the newcomer to shake. "In my defense, Pocky is delicious." Elecmon retorted as he looked the Candlemon over, still munching on his strawberry Pocky. However, something didn't sit well with him. "If you're a Digidestined pair, where were you two during the attacks on the city? Tell me you weren't so cowardly as to hide while innocents were attacked." Elecmon began to snarl, disgusted at the thought. vincanity0011210 07-11-2011 10:48 PM "Hey you weren't here staring like you were at a talent show, so you get the honorably not-mentioned award" Leon said to Lucas, enjoying his humor but frowning at Elecmon's comment. Talking about not hiding away... and we're taking a day off when the world is in peril. Leon thought, an uneasy emotion coming through him again. His mind traveled back to BlackWatGreymon, imagining the suffering he must go through to keep his Tamer alive. Demiveemon was ignoring everything but the idea of new friends. In his In-Training form, he was a bouncy blue dinoball. Jumping out of Ari's arms he made his way to Elecmon's head. "Hey! Don't say that to someone who is on our side! Not all of us want to be killed on a weekly basis." Mattmanganon 07-11-2011 10:57 PM "you're still worried about BlackWarGreymon." said Dirk looking at Leon. "well lets face facts here, we can't help him at the moment. we have no idea where his partner is, we don't know where he is, until he contacts us, we can do nothing, i know that you're thinking with your heart, but the heart is a muscle to push blood around the body, do your thinking with this." he said poking Leon in the fore-head. he then turned back to the new-comer. "he's a good guy, but thinks with 2 things, his heart and his dick, sadly this little melon goes unused a lot." he said playfully patting Leon on the head Vocalia 07-12-2011 12:04 AM "In my defense, I didn't even hurt little Ari." Dorumon growled and went onto her next biting target: Leon's rear. This time, she made sure that it hurt like hell. "Hello there." Zei greeted the newly found Digidestinied. When BlackWarGreymon was mentioned, she sighed softly. "Dirk is right. There isn't much we could do now, but don!t lose faith. Kindness will always come in return. I'm sure we could help him someday." She said to the group. Oblivion Ascent 07-12-2011 12:13 AM "I was lucky that I didn't taste good," Ari chirped. Siggy just rolled his eyes at the antics of the other male Digidestined and Dorumon, and held his own hand out to the newcomer. "Anyway, sorry for being late to introduce myself. Like Leon said, I'm Siggy, that's Ari, although I don't know where my great lump of a partner is..." __________________________________________________ _________________ NenonGuilmon sneezed in his sleep. __________________________________________________ _________________ As Siggy called NeonGuilmon a 'great lump', Ari spoke up. "No no no, he's Squishy," She said, before pointing to Devimon, "He's Lumpy!" vincanity0011210 07-12-2011 02:37 AM Taking in a deep breath, Leon clenched his fist before grabbing Dirk's hand and pushing him away with a fair amount of strength. "Don't. Get playful with me. The 'logical' thing that my mind tells me is if we wanted a break we should wait until our work is done. There is another Tamer that is being held hostage out there." He said gesturing over toward the city, even though it could have been in any direction. DemiVeemon's ears lowered as his partner's anger seemed to come out in a very hostile form. Bounding off of Elecmon, the dino jumped up to Leon who caught the small digimon. "Leon..." "C'mon Short stuff, we've been practicing all week to get to Mega so we could save BlackWarGreymon. And now we aren't even going to do anything about it? He stopped you from almost killing Kate, Dirk. If he wasn't there to fight with you, any of your blasts could have hit her." Leon continued, staring daggers at Dirk and then switching his hard glare to Zei. "Someday? Why can't we form a plan today? I don't mind holding onto faith, but there's no reason to do nothing when there's plenty we can do." DemiVeemon, maybe just from feeling Leon's emotion or his own, jumped out of Leon's arms and digivolved into Veemon. Landing on the ground he spoke himself. "You're right Leon. He did help us and we should find a way to save him." Vocalia 07-12-2011 03:31 AM Zei sighed. "Leon, please calm down. I agree that we shouldn't leave BlackWarGreymon's Digidestinied in the clutches of her kidnappers, but right now we all lack resources or ability to do anything without risking their safety!" She replied. "I don't like being idle either, Leon! Do you think I'm happy with our current condition?!" Zei's anger was now visible on her face and in her tone. Perhaps it was the fact that BlackWarGreymon's Digidestinied was a child so young and vulnerable. In any case, Zei wasn't too happy with how Leon handled the situation. Taking a deep breath, the girl walked away from the group to clear her mind. Dorumon only looked at Leon with pity before following her upset partner. They headed to a cliff overlooking the ocean. Draconis Nevyn 07-12-2011 01:49 PM Elle was surprised to see them all and she waved in greeting to each of them, but Leon brought up the same topic Candlemon did and he turned to her triumphantly. "Oh shut up, Candlemon" she murmoured to him and then she looked directly at Elecmon "Cowardice? did you ever stop to think that they attacked because of you? I did not hide, I just felt I would have done better not fighting." Elle looked around and sighed, but Candlemon took up the rest of the conversation "It is not like she did not want to help you, Elle is strange when it comes to battles.. She hates fighting, but, she will when there is no other choice." Candlemon looked surprised, finally a look which didn't seem threatening. But he looked at Elle, he now understood why she hadn't let him fight. "Besides, you guys did fine without us and I cant' reach Champion yet, so I would have done no good" Elle looked up again, patting Candlemon on his wick she looked at them all in turn "Alright, from now on I will fight. But only if there is no other way." Elle then looked to Siggy and quickly shook it "I'm Elle." then, glad she was a little out of the fight that had occured, was it her fault?, she walked a little away herself to speak to Candlemon Once they were a little away, Elle spoke "Alright, Candlemon, this is your chance, I don't want you being evil again, that's why I never let you fight." This was true, Elle had met DemiMeramon when he was terrorising a small group of civilians, she'd ran up to him and talked him out of it, calming him down. From then on he'd been a more kind Digimon but with a want for battle. "I'm a changed Digimon" Candlemon protested and Elle couldn't help but giggle at him ""Alright, so we'll work together." Elle smiled to him and then she turned and walked back to the group, "We'll join and fight with you if you'll have us." Elle was still smiling as she said it, she just hoped they'd accept her. Mattmanganon 07-12-2011 03:19 PM "well alright then." said Dirk. Devimon digivolved back to Impmon and then walked over to them. "alright, but if you want to join, you need to know the rules. i am in charge and am the toughest, that there is my Partner, his name is Pineapple Head." he then pointed to Ari. "and she's the annoying one that likes undignifying Digimon." Impmon then kept on with his talking about how he was the best, Dirk had crept away to find Zei. he saw her standing on the Cliff near the sea. he sat down next to her. "look, i know that this is hard for us, i mean in the last 2 weeks, we have all been given a massive responsibility, i did this so we could all blow off some steam. i think that we should all just go down there, have some fun and pretend that everything is normal for just 1 day, is that too much to ask? so, what do you say? Oblivion Ascent 07-12-2011 03:22 PM As she returned the handshake, Siggy smiled at Ellie. "Welcome aboard," He said, before noticing Zei walking away from the corner of his eye. He sighed, deciding what to do. On one hand, Zei looked rather stressed, and might need a bit of time to herself. On the other hand, Zei looked rather upset, and probably needed someone to talk to. '... Ah screw it. No harm in checking anyway,' He thought to himself, before heading off in Zei's direction. "Be back in a minute. Ari, behave yourself." "'Kay," Was all the little girl replied, as she was too busy staring at Candlemon in awe. When she heard Impmon call her annoying, she stuck her tongue out at him. "Can it, Lumpy..." A few minutes later, Siggy found Zei near a cliff face, with Dirk sitting down next to her. "Everything OK?" He asked, trying not to sound overbearing. Vocalia 07-12-2011 03:31 PM Zei sighed. "I'm alright, Siggy... Just... slightly bothered..." She smiled at the two. "Dirk, I never disapprove of your choice to get rid of our accumulatings stress. It's just that... What Leon had said... It really gets to me." She looked out to the ocean. "I don't want to be selfish, but at the same time, I don't know if I'm ready to handle such a responsibility..." The girl slowly stood up again, running her delicate fingers through her short, jet black hair. The warm sunlight highlighted her slender frame. She wasn't well endowed, but her body had a healthy, feminine complexion. "I suppose I shouldn't force myself too hard... I think you have a point." She said to Dirk. "I'll try to enjoy our trip today as best as I could..." Oblivion Ascent 07-12-2011 03:47 PM Waking from his powernap, NeonGuilmon pulled himself to his feet, looking around. He couldn't see most of the group, but he could see Siggy, Dirk, Zei and Dorumon a short distance away, and so he stretched, and began to make his way towards them. __________________________________________________ _________________ "You sure?" Siggy asked Zei, in response to her saying that she was okay after all. As she spoke her mind, and unwinded a little, he just smiled. "Good to hear..." He felt something approaching, and turned to see his partner. "Ah, there you are. I was wondering where you'd wandered off to..." "Shut up, Fluffy..." Vocalia 07-12-2011 03:57 PM Zei chuckled and walked closer to the edge of the cliff to get a better look at the scenery. However, she had unknowingly positioned herself in a precarious location since the spot where she was standing at was directly above the deeper section of the ocean, distances away from the beach. Suddenly, the edge section gave way and crumbled, sending a screaming Zei plunging into the deep sea below it. The girl quickly went into a panic-induced shock as she scrambled to save herself. Unfortunately for her, she quickly passed out and began to sink. Something seemed off about her as she seemed unable to save herself, which would be commonly and easily done by many others. Dorumon was simply resting near the cliff, thinking Zei would need some time alone. However, the sound of her scream alerted her as she saw her partner falling into the water in front of her eyes. At first, she didn't worry, believing that she could swim. Her panic quickly set in once she noticed that Zei seemed to go into a dangerous shock and passed out in the water, drowning in almost immediately. "Zei!!" Without a moment to spare, Dorumon dashed into the ocean to rescue her. Sadly, her small paws and bushy tail did little to help her swim and she was actually sinking herself. The Digimon tried to stay on the surface, but it became increasingly hard to do as the current swept the two deeper into the sea. Oblivion Ascent 07-12-2011 04:04 PM The next few moments of Siggy's life were... strange to say the least. He couldn't remember jumping, and so, when he found himself diving into the sea after Zei, one thought was going through his head. And that thought was '... Oh my god, what the HELL did I just do!?!...' Nonetheless, his instinct seemed to carry him as he hit the water, plunging deep towards the rapidly sinking Zei and Dorumon, grabbing the former's arm, and pulling the latter under his arm, before pulling (Or at least attempting to pull) them back to the water's surface. Mattmanganon 07-12-2011 04:04 PM Dirk jumped in after her, he was actually quite a good swimmer, grabbing her around the waist, he helped Siggy haul her to the surface. Impmon Digivolved to Devimon flew over to them, Pulling them out of the water. "jeez, don't do that." said Dirk, "you wanna give us a Heart attack?" "i'd give that dive a 8 for style, but i'll dock you 2 for almost drowning." said Devimon. Vocalia 07-12-2011 04:11 PM Dorumon coughed any salt water out of her throat. "So sorry if I couldn't swim with these pint-sized paws!" She frowned at Devimon, looking at her paws and how small they were in comparison to her other body parts. However, her main concern was for Zei's well-being. She was unconscious and seemed to have water inside her body that needed to be removed immediately. vincanity0011210 07-12-2011 04:18 PM (Can I assume Devimon will bring them to land? Yes? Yes.) "What in the name of Holy Hell!" Leon yelled, running to the edge of the cliff before seeing Devimon bringing everyone back over. Zei's body hung lifelessly in the air causing adrenaline and guilt to wash through Leon's body. Taking hold of her as Devimon came down to the ground, Leon laid her on the flattest rock in the area. "Thank god for simple CPR classes" Leon mutter, putting his ear to her chest to make sure she was breathing. Once he knew she wasn't dead, his palm replaced his ear and began to push against her in a rhythm. "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10." he counted before inhaling deeply and opening her mouth to breath into her's. He would continue this for a few cycles until he saw improvement. "C'mon Zei... get back go I can apologize already." Veemon stood near Devimon and looked up at him. "I'd say 7. She passed out so she has to lose a least one more point" Mattmanganon 07-12-2011 04:19 PM Devimon quickly flew back to the beach. Dirk paniced slightly, he had no idea what to do, then he remembered something from TV. "who knows CPR?" he asked. "i mean i've seen people doing it on TV, but i've never had to do it." he said. then Leon rushed over and did it. "come on, breath for us." he said Oblivion Ascent 07-12-2011 05:19 PM While the others started fumbling around with CPR, Siggy did his best to remain calm. When they started panicking, he just sighed, and moved over to Zei. "Let me sort this out, you're kind of forgetting that she's swallowed half the ocean..." Edging Lucas out of the way, he began to perform the basic procedure, breathing into Zei. Once he was sure that she had the equivalent of a lungful in her body, he gently pushed down on her belly, in order to push the water out of her body. "Come on..." Draconis Nevyn 07-12-2011 06:11 PM Elle could do nothing but watch, indeed she had nothing to offer, having never thought this would happen, she'd never prepared. Elle also knew that they had it covered and if she tried to do anything, she'd just interfere. So she stood a little away from the group with Candlemon, She was a little white-faced and hoped the best for Zei. Candlemon looked at his tamer and saw her worry, it was a strange thing, these humans had. But as Elle's hands clasped together and were placed under her chin as she wished for Zei to be alright, Candlemon felt a twinge of remorse for having terrorised those humans. The twinge grew until he felt like he would burst. Elle let a tear fall, as it fell her Digivice decided to light up and she felt her digimon change, she looked around at him "She will be alright." spoke the calm, deep voice of Wizardmon. Elle was surprised by the change in her digimon, but they both stood, Elle shaking from fear and Wizardmon standing stock still and vigil. Both praying for Zei's well-being, though Elle wished to be comforted, she was the type who hated to see anyone hurt and she always wished she could help them. PsychoScythe 07-12-2011 09:39 PM Any worries Lucas had that Zei would suffer any permanent damage were alleviated when Siggy revealed that he knew how to perform CPR. "Everyone, stop panicking like little kids, please. She'll be fine." He called out to the group, laying a hand on Dirk's shoulder. "Especially you, man. Just trust that Fluffy and Leon know what they're doing." Looking down at Siggy performing CPR on Zei, Lucas was incredibly tempted to make a mouth-to-mouth joke, but felt that it would be too inappropriate for the moment, and shoved it to the back of his mind to save for later. Mattmanganon 07-12-2011 10:39 PM dirk backed away as Wizardmon appeared. Dirk then scanned him with his Digivice. it said that he was a wise Digimon with increadible magic Powers. "can you do anything for her?" he asked the Magician Digimon Vocalia 07-12-2011 11:23 PM With a violent cough, Zei was brought back into consciousness. As her body instinctively remove as much excess water from her system as possibly, something seemed off about her. Her face was as white as a sheet, horror written all over her face. Her body was also shivering and it's not because of the temperature. The girl slowly sobbed and covered her face with her hands. Oblivion Ascent 07-12-2011 11:30 PM As Zei awoke, Siggy sighed a sigh of relief. As she began to sob, a look of shock crossed his usually calm features. It was at this point that his instincts as an 'Older Brother' took hold of him, causing him to pull the sobbing Zei into a comforting hug. "There there," He said, quietly, in an attempt to soothe her nerves, "You're safe now..." Vocalia 07-12-2011 11:39 PM Zei wasted no time to cry into Siggy's chest, sobbing and coughing in between. Her body was shivering rather badly and her body languaged seemed frantic and terrified. "P-Please, take me away... Anywhere except the ocean..." She sobbed. Dorumon shook herself dry and approached Siggy. "Why don't you let her rest under the tress? That should help her calm down." She suggested, looking at the large tree growing some distance away from the border of land and sea. Oblivion Ascent 07-12-2011 11:49 PM "Ok, just relax, the Ocean can't hurt you now," Siggy said, in the same comforting tone, picking Zei up, and supporting her as he began to move towards the nearest tree. At the same time, NeonGuilmon, who had been a distance from his partner and Zei after their plunge, caught up with them, panting heavily. "F... fluffy. Is Zei... Okay?" "She's fine," Siggy said, propping Zei up against the tree, "For whatever reason, being in the water scared the life out of her." As he finished talking, he crouched down beside Zei. "Now," He said, in a concerned tone, "What was that about?" Vocalia 07-12-2011 11:56 PM Zei's breathing was fast and short. She opened her eyes to look ar Siggy, her pupils contracted in absolute fear. "T-The water... I-It's so cold..." She rambled. It was apparent that Zei needed some time to calm down before Siggy could get any answers about her odd reaction to water. Dorumon noticed this and looked at NeonGuilmon. "Squishy, let's leave them alone for now. Watching her won't make her recover any faster..." She whispered to him. Oblivion Ascent 07-13-2011 12:02 AM "...I see." Siggy realized that he wasn't going to be getting any proper answers from the poor girl for the time being, so he decided to go a different route. "Do you want me to stay with you, or do you need some time on your own?" As Dorumon spoke to him, NeonGuilmon nodded. "I think... that's probably...a good idea," He whispered back, still panting a little. Vocalia 07-13-2011 12:09 AM From the way Zei was holding Siggy's hand in a surprisingly powerful vice grip, it was obvious she refused to be left alone. She pulled his arm close and held onto it for dear life. Somehow, having Siggy around was soothing in a strange way, but her currently frazzled mind was still too disoriented to think about it. Dorumon waited for NeonGuilmon to catch his breath before leaving the two Digidestinied alone. Oblivion Ascent 07-13-2011 12:19 AM After regaining his breath, NeonGuilmon backed away with Dorumon. "So, any clue as to what's up with Zei?" He then remembered another thing. "Also, have you seen Ari anywhere?" Meanwhile, Siggy sat down next to Zei, pulling her into another comforting hug. "I'll stick with you, then. Now, just relax..." Vocalia 07-13-2011 12:27 AM "Nope, I'm clueless and by Ari, you mean that little brat over there" Dorumon looked at Ari who was burying herself under the sand. "Humans have the strangest habits..." She sighed. "I feel your pain, Squishy." She said with a teasing tone. Zei continued to cry, but she was slowly, but surely, calming down. "Thank you..." Oblivion Ascent 07-13-2011 12:33 AM "Nah, she isn't a brat. At least, not compared to the other one..." At the repeat of the 'Squishy' joke, NeonGuilmon smiled evilly. "Well, thank you, Bitey," He said, with a little evil chuckle, before walking over to Ari. "So, whatcha doin'?" "Stuff," The little girl replied. __________________________________________________ _________________ "Don't mention it," Siggy said, softly, as Zei began to calm down. Vocalia 07-13-2011 12:41 AM After roughly half an hour, Zei finally calmed down, albeit not entirely, but calm enough to give out rational answers. Her head laid on Siggy's chest as she sat on his lap, her eyes now dry. She closed them and listened to his heartbeat. Somehow, that seemingly random activity brought a sense of warmth into her. Dorumon decided to walk around the beach and collect seashells for Zei, remembering how she liked them. She was hoping to cheer her up. Oblivion Ascent 07-13-2011 12:54 AM Seeing that Zei was calm, Siggy smiled, before beginning to talk. "So, Zei. I hope you don't mind me asking, but what happened back there?" He was sounding significantly less stoic and serious than he was normally, even when compared to half an hour ago. This was for two reasons. (1.) He acknowledged that this was the sort of situation in which Stoicism wouldn't help, and (2.) He was enjoying the fact that Zei was sitting on his lap. Mostly for the second reason. Vocalia 07-13-2011 01:06 AM Zei blushed, remembering how frantic she had acted just a while ago. She knew Siggy would be suspicious of her. "I... I'm hydrophobic... Whenever I see or enter a large body of water, I got so scared that I pass out..." She replied. "It's a long story, but I doubt you're here to listen to some liche life story..." She chuckled weakly. Mattmanganon 07-13-2011 01:16 AM Meanwhile, Dirk had moved away with the others. "why did i suggest cominh here?" he asked. he then punched a tree quite hard "FUCK!!!" exclaiming not through pain but at anger with himself. "it seems every time i try to do something, it puts others in danger." he sat down. "i almost got her killed. "oh why don't we go to the beach, we'll have some fun and forget out worries!" i can't even do that right." Impmon nudged Leon. "i ain't no good at this kinda thing, can you talk to him." he said. PsychoScythe 07-13-2011 02:02 AM Lucas sighed at Dirk. "Damn it, calm down. You're not God. You're not responsible for every little thing that happens. Sometimes, shit just happens, man." He uttered, looking slightly annoyed. "I mean, seriously. You had no way to know that would happen. It's not your fault at all." Meanwhile, Elecmon had Digivolved to Leomon and was currently swimming out in the ocean, whistling cheerfully to himself. Suddenly, a shark lunged at him from out of nowhere, and bit him on the leg. Roaring in pain, Leomon grabbed the shark and locked him into a chokehold before kicking his way back to shore. Once the lion Digimon was on the beach, he threw the shark onto the sand before leaping and elbow-slamming it in the head, crushing its skull. Roaring in triumph at his kill, he looked around to see where his partner was. All he saw was Ari and NeonGuilmon instead. "So...who wants sashimi?" Leomon asked, looking slightly guilty. Vocalia 07-13-2011 02:15 AM Dorumon was holding a bucket full of seashells in her mouth. Smelling the freshly killed shark, she put down the bucket. "I would like some if you can." She replied honestly. Dorumon seemed to perfer fish, raw and cooked, over anything else. "We can let it dip in the sea water to get rid of its smell." Draconis Nevyn 07-13-2011 03:33 AM Wizardmon had merely shook his head when asked if he could help her. He knew he probably could, but he knew the boy was fine with what he was doing. A few seconds later, she had been revived and Wizardmon noticed Elle relax, He grinned, not that it was noticable with his cloak, but as they stood there, He noticed the anguish in Dirk. "Go speak to him, Elle." Elle looked at him, surprised but she nodded and walked towards him, a little shyly and sat down next to him, she spoke after Lucas had said his piece "Lucas is right. You can't blame yourself for this, I don't even think Wizardmon would have forseen it coming, being a wizard and all." - here he rolled his eyes and pointedly decided to watch Leomon at work - Elle did her best to persuade him, and even if he didn't listen she was still there to talk to, she wanted to persuade him, for him to understand that it had been a kind gesture and it really wasn't his fault. Elle didn't want to say that Zei wouldn't blame him for it, because she didn't know but she would still do all she could to persuade him. Oblivion Ascent 07-13-2011 09:10 AM "I see..." At this point, Siggy became a little confused. If Zei was afraid of water, wouldn't it have been something to tell the others before coming to the beach, of all places? This receded when he remembered how tight lipped he could be regarding his own unusual phobia... and how much NeonGuilmon was of his. Sock Puppets be damned... Anyway, back to the present. When he heard her mention 'the long story', he spoke up. "You can tell me if you want. We've got a while..." __________________________________________________ _________________ Meanwhile, over with NeonGuilmon and Ari, when Leomon leapt onto the beach to perform a finisher on the shark, the latter squeaked in fright, and jumped into the small hole she had dug, while the former raised an eyebrow, or equivalent thereof. "That's a lot of fishsticks ya got there..." Vocalia 07-13-2011 09:41 AM Zei looked at Siggy for a while in slight doubt before letting out a soft sigh. "My family went to take me for a cruise when I was seventeen years old. We were quite excited since my mother wont that trip from a lottery. At first, things went smoothly and we believed it would be a trip to remember. It ended up being a trip to remember... just not in a good way." She looked down to the sand. Images of the traumatic experience played back as she recounted the turning point. "Three days into the trip, the ship was out at sea after boarding more passengers. I was at the pool when I saw these two men acting suspiciously. At first, I didn't pay too much attention on them." In her mind, she could see her younger self happily watching the clear skies with the men passing through the corner of her eyes. "The second time I saw them, I was by myself at the deck, enjoying a good weather. They were some distance from me. Suddenly, a loud explosion sent me wobbling around as the ship shook violently. Before I knew what was going on, I was knocked off the ship. I tried swimming back into the surface, but then I saw the men jumping down as well. They then swam towards me. I tried moving away but they were faster than me. One of them pulled out a gun and shot at me. A bullet grazed my shoulder as the other swam towards me. Once he got close, he tried to drown me. I couldn't remember much since I passed out after a short struggle." Zei closed her eyes, recounting the time when she believed that would be the last day of her life. "When I opened my eyes again, I was in a hospital. The doctors said that I suffered from hypothermia, an injury on my left shoulder and there were suspicious bruises around my neck; they believed my survival was a miracle. Then I remember what happened and figured that the two men had tried to kill me, but failed. I was so scared and tired that I stayed quiet about it. After I was discharged, I learned that the two were wanted terrorists and they are still on the loose..." A lone tear slipped past and ran down her cheek. "Thankfully, all of the people who boarded the ship were alive and safe, but I still felt guilty about it... If only I had told anyone about them, this whole thing wouldn't happen. Ever since then, I became afraid of swimming or getting near any large bodies of water, such as the ocean..." She looked at the expanse of water. "I like beaches, even until now, but the sight of water scared the life out of me." Oblivion Ascent 07-13-2011 10:48 AM "... I see." By this point, Siggy was probably sounding like a broken record, but it was the only appropriate response he could think of at present. "Well, I can understand why you reacted like you did now. You did have a bit of a close call back there..." He decided to drop the subject for now, Zei seemed a little uncomfortable with the questions, and it was getting a little late. "Anyhow, do you want to go join up with the others, or do you want to stay here a little longer?" He thought for a second, before craftily adding: "I don't mind either..." Vocalia 07-13-2011 11:55 AM Zei blushed, wondering what to do. On one hand, she wanted to apologise to Leon for being so easily upset and to Dirk for ruining his vacation. On the other hand, she didn't want to move away from Siggy, especially with him being so close, holding her in a protective hug. "I-I suppose... I'll stay here... for a little while." She stammered timidly and leaned her head against Siggy's chest comfortably. The sweeping wind now sounded like a bringer of calmness as Zei finally found solace in her trouble. Mattmanganon 07-13-2011 10:44 PM ((i could have swore i posted... oh well, never mind, i'll do so now.)) dirk got to his feet. "your right." he said "sometimes, shit happens and i need to deal with it." he was actually just putting on a brave face. "alright, well, we came here to have fun, lets do so." he said. "also, Kate's Brothers beach-house is about 10 minutes in that direction according to the map i looked at. Kate says that he keeps a supply of Ice-cream and stuff. we're welcome to it, so... how about we move down there and Zei can rest there if she wants to." he said to them, walking over to Zei and Siggy in a kind of romantic situation. "umm, am i intruding?" PsychoScythe 07-13-2011 11:04 PM Upon seeing Siggy/Fluffy and Zei in a private moment, Lucas grinned evilly. This was excellent ammunition to use for later. He wouldn't intrude now, though. Moment Killing was one of the worst things to do to a friend. Instead, he would relentlessly mock Siggy about this later. That lip-locking joke he was planning to do earlier would be so much more effective now... At the same time, Leomon was dragging the dead shark across the sand, perking up at hearing they would be going to a beach house. Having no idea of what exactly was going on between Siggy and Zei, he proceeded to drag the dead shark on the sand right on front of them, blood and gore spilling over the sand in front of the lovebirds as he followed Dirk to the beach house. Vocalia 07-13-2011 11:18 PM The sight of blood didn't bother Zei as much, but still made her feel uncomfortable. "N-No!" She replied to Dirk and looked at Siggy. "Thank you..." She whispered and smiled at him before standing up. "Dorumon! Where are you?" She called out. Said Digimon came carrying a large bucket of seashells and coral rocks. She put the bucket down in front of a surprised Zei. "Yeah?" She asked casually. "Dorumon, where did you get all these?" Zei asked. "Beach." She replied. The girl decided not to ask any further about the authencity of the items she had gathered. "For who?" At this, Dorumon smiled at her. "You. You told me before how you like seashells so I thought of finding some for you..." She looked down to the ground, wondering if she liked her gift. With a happy smile on her face, Zei wrapped her arms around her in a friendly embrace. "Thank you, Dorumon." She replied. "Let's go back to the beach house. Maybe we can make something out of these." "Alright! Besides, I want shark sashimi!" Dorumon flicked her tail and went with her to the beach house. Oblivion Ascent 07-13-2011 11:55 PM "Don't mention it," Siggy said to Zei, before getting up as well. As he thought over what had just happened between himself and Zei, NeonGuilmon and Ari walked past. "How's Zei?" NeonGuilmon asked, sounding genuinely concerned. "She's fine. Took a while, but she's fine." Mattmanganon 07-14-2011 12:27 AM Dirk walked along the beach ahead of the rest of them, he had the key to the place and said that he was going ahead to see if it was free. Impmon was right beside him. he was looked down and kicking a can of Cola with every set. "damn..." "what's the matter Pineapple head, you still down over that cliff thing?" he then laughed at the pun. "nah, i'm over that." he said. but that mental image of Siggy and Zei being intimate. he had been trying for the past week to work up the courage to ask her out and now his chance had come and gone. "oh you wanted to trade places with Siggy when he was doin' the huggin' didncha." smirked Impmon. "you really are an annoying litte git you know that don't you?" said Dirk. "a bit yeah." sneered the Imp. they reached the house, it was a wooden house on stilts and was rather large. it had a glass door on the front which came out onto a small balcony. Dirk walked up the steps and knocked on the door. "Tim... you in there... it's me Dirk... Kate's friend..." there was no reply. he opened the door and walked in it was surprisingly cool and fresh for a place that hadn't seen anyone within it's walls for several months. he walked over to the freezer and opened it to see several boxes of Ice-cream, Dirk took 1 out and Impmon took 4 but 3 of them were taken off of him by dirk and put back. "1 at a time." he said. impmon in protest bit the entire thing off in one bite. "you swallow that and you'll regret it." said Dirk. he then looked onto the counter and saw a pair of welding goggles and a hard hat. "what the hell?" he asked. "oh yeah, what you gonna do?" asked Impmon, he then swallowed it and then felt his stomach ice over, as though death had just settled down for a snooze in his intestines, Impmon grabbed his stomach, then his head as brain-freeze set in. "i told you don't touch that darn thing." said Dirk in a Texan accent. he then shook his head. "i have no idea why i just said that..." he then noticed that the hard hat and welding goggles were gone. "anyway. he went out onto the balcony and sat on one of the chairs waiting for the others to arrive. Draconis Nevyn 07-14-2011 12:29 PM Elle and Wizardmon walked along quite independently from the others, still not feeling completely at home with the group yet. She hadn't expected all of this when she'd left the house that day. As they walked they were talking, Wizardmon was explaining to Elle, his changes, and how it was because of her he was able to Digivolve. Elle was interested in this change and she was glad that Candlemon became kinder, it was a good thing. Wizardmon chuckled at Elle's thoughtful expression, "You should talk to them, Elle." "Not right now, everyone seems still on edge, I just don't see how i'd fit in yet." "Indeed not and you won't unless you try" Here Elle punched him companionably on the arm and they both chuckled. Eventually they reached the hut to find Dirk already there on the balcony. Elle smiled politely to him and decided to check the hut out. She walked inside and began looking at everything there, Wizardmon was by the side of the hut, in the shade. Snoozing. but ready for trouble if it appeared. vincanity0011210 07-14-2011 04:49 PM After being pushed aside from CPR, Leon got up and watched Zei, making sure she would recover. Okay, pushing me aside did nothing but waste time... Leon though, but kept the remark to himself. When Zei began to breath again, Leon sighed and turned away from the group, still looking over the cliff. He walked closer to it, getting a good look at the ocean below. After a few minutes of watching, Veemon came up next to him and crossed his arms. "Well" Veemon sighed. "Yeeup." Leon said in agreement. "Look, lets try to salvage the day with everyone. We have someone new we need to get up to speed and everyone else wants to relax anyways... as strong as we are we need everyone to do anything useful when it comes to BlackWarGreymon and the captured Digidestined." "Actually, I thought the 'well', 'yep' was pretty much covering that conversation without having to say it, but thats fine, ruin the moment!" Veemon said, before punching Leon and running towards the house in a rush. Leon ran after him, finally with a grin on his face. They were third to the house, right after Dirk, Impmon, Elle and Wizardmon. Passing by the sleeping Wizardmon, Veemon found his way to Impmon and the Ice Cream and began to take handfuls as well. Not long after the dino found himself dealing with a case of brain freeze as well. "AAH! IT hurts so good!" Veemon said. Leon found Elle looking around the hut and cleared his throat. "Sorry about earlier. We are usually all much more in synch. If you have a couple minutes, me and Dirk could talk to you about everything that's happened. When you get the chance..." Leon said before exiting with a nod toward the balcony. Grabbing a seat opposite of Dirk, he looked at him with an exhausted smirk. "Well... hows your beach day going?" Mattmanganon 07-14-2011 05:20 PM "well, we are at the beach with a bunch of monsters and one of the group almost died. so all we need to do is get wasted and have a big orgy in order for this to be considered one of the greatest teen get togethers in history. you want me to order some strippers?" he asked. "what's a stripper?" asked Impmon. "is she like one of the girls you watch on the computer?" asked Impmon. "you mean like that picture of Angewoman i walked in on you looking at?" retorted Dirk. Impmon decided to go back to his ice-lolly. "so... you want to go in the water?" he asked. Oblivion Ascent 07-14-2011 05:23 PM At the mention of the Angewomon, NeonGuilmon suddenly appeared to the side of Dirk, with his equivalent of a raised eyebrow. "What was that about an Angewomon? It is relevant to my interests..." vincanity0011210 07-14-2011 05:29 PM "Nah, I'm all good. Just here to photograph now" Leon said, taking out his camera and photographing the Neonguillmon's raised eyebrow, Impmons walk to seclusion, and Dirk lazing about. "I think the strippers would be a nice touch though. It may make the girls in the group feel a little awkward though. Can't we just pick up prostitutes?" he asked, liking that solution better. "Anyone know where Veemon is-" "Toxicwastemon!" Veemon shouted, jumping onto Neonguillmon and giving Leon a great chance for a photograph. "Hey Neonguilmon, where is everyone else?" Oblivion Ascent 07-14-2011 05:39 PM In response to Veemon's question, NeonGuilmon shrugged. "Not sure. My best guess is that they're already inside or wandering around the beach." PsychoScythe 07-14-2011 08:03 PM At the mention of strippers and prostitutes, Lucas smirked at Leon and Dirk. "Heh, forget the hookers for me. I've already got a girlfriend that gives me that. I wouldn't mind some strippers, as long as no one ever tells her, though." "Speaking of which, why didn't you bring Minako along with us today?" Leomon inquired, placing the dead shark on the kitchen table. "She's visiting her folks over in Kyoto. Trust me, there's no way in hell I'm going near that. Her dad hates me." Lucas retorted as he eyed the shark. Thankfully, sashimi was one of the few Japanese dishes he knew how to make, mainly because it was easy. All you had to do was slice the meat into bite-sized pieces and serve it with soy sauce. Reaching for a kitchen knife, Lucas motioned Leomon over to help him. "In any case, looks like we got dinner handled. Me and Leomon will start on the shark sashimi. No, Leomon, don't use your sword. That's goddamned unsanitary." Vocalia 07-14-2011 11:18 PM Dorumon came in just as the boys started their conversation. "Oh? You guys want to fuck someone and bang yourselves up for the night?" She asked casually as if such vulgar topic was a common place for her. "Why don't you guys just give each other blowjobs? Besides, it's a lot better and cheaper than having to call in some hookers or bitches in. After all, we do have girls in here, you know." She remarked and checked the fridge. "Do they have any beer in here so I can get myself wasted?" She asked Dirk. Oblivion Ascent 07-14-2011 11:23 PM Unfortunately for both Dorumon and Siggy, the moment that he chose to enter the hut was the exact moment she started her little rant. The look of pure, unadulterated WTF on his face was gut-burstingly hilarious enough to negate any of the numerous downsides to the rant. "... I refuse to comment. What was that about beer?" Mattmanganon 07-14-2011 11:39 PM "Tim said that we can drink all the booze we like so long as we replace it or give him the money for the new stuff. but i got money." said Dirk. "and i will have you know that we were kidding about that stuff also, how does a cute creature like you know how to talk that badly?" he said. "no you weren't!" yelled impmon "go die in a fire." replied Dirk. "you first, Pineapple head." "i forgive you too." Dirk then got up and went to the fridge and got out a can of beer. he chugged it "it's cheap shit, but it hits the spot... also where is Zei?" he asked. Vocalia 07-15-2011 12:01 AM Dorumon had to stiffle her cackle when Dirk called her cute. 'Cute' was not in her dictionary, or so she believed. As Dirk asked for a whereabouts, Zei came in with the bucket of seashells and coral rocks and heard his question. "Yes, Dirk?" She asked politely and set the bucket down beside the kitchen counter. She noticed what he was drinking and became worried. "Dorumon, did you-" "No." Dorumon's answer was quick and to the point. Not yet anyway... She said to herself. Zei breathed in a sigh of relief. "Please don't let Dorumon drink any alchoholic beverages. She just finished my father's sake three nights ago..." She pleaded to the other members of the group. She still remembered her shock of finding Dorumon with a empty bottle of sake she had meant to give to her otōsan. Strangely enough, said Digimon wasn't yet wasted and said that she could still handle more. This brought a odd, yet rational fear into Zei for her partner's well-being. Noticing Leomon and Lucas with the shark, she decided to help in the kitchen, leaving Dorumon to munch on her popsicle. Turning her eyes to Siggy, she cackled evily when she saw his reaction to her words. "What's wrong? Tailmon got your tongue?" She did her 'Beatrice cackle', as Zei put it, and went to sit beside Impmon. Draconis Nevyn 07-15-2011 12:09 AM Elle couldn't help it. She had giggled at Leon and finally the rest of their comments had set her off and she was holding onto the wall for support as she laughed, her sides feeling like they were going to split open from mirth. "Oh god.. Please stop!" She managed to say while taking deep breaths. She didn't think she'd survive much more, but she managed to calm down and then she walked over to the fridge and grabbed a beer, which she popped open and took a swig from. Then she walked outside and up to Wizardmon, who she sat beside. "Want a drink?" She asked the Digimon who shook his head and grinned. This time she could tell he had and she smiled to herself, stood up to leave him to his solitude and took a seat next to Leon, whom she directed her question to, leaning over a little towards him, "So, What've I missed?" PsychoScythe 07-15-2011 12:20 AM Lucas nodded at Zei as she began to help in the kitchen. Chuckling when he heard Dorumon's words, he called out to her. "Sounding a bit like a lesbian there, Dorumon!" He snarked, laughing to himself. "And throw me a beer, will ya?" Upon hearing of Dorumon's alcohol drinking, Leomon walked over, intrigued. He and Lucas often shared beers in their apartment, and Leomon found that he liked the alcoholic beverage. "Dorumon," He began, sounding serious. "I challenge you to a duel of honor. By drinking. First one to pass out loses." The lion said, pulling out two beers from the fridge, passed one to Dorumon, and threw a third over to Lucas, who caught it deftly. "Oh, Christ." Lucas sighed, popping the tab open and taking a few swigs. "Dirk, I'll help you pay off the beers. Hell, I don't think we have enough beer between those two. We might need a beer run." Vocalia 07-15-2011 12:31 AM Zei sighed. "Let me help as well..." She resigned. Once Dorumon started drinking, there was no stopping her. An eerie grin stretched along her muzzle as she caught the beer can in her jaws. "I accept your challenge, Leomon, but first..." She turned to Zei. "Zei, do you want to try it out?" She asked. "Ah, that?" Zei looked at her and nodded, pulling out her Digivice. "Now would be as good as any I suppose, but please take caution when you drink..." She pleaded. "Relax, Zei. I definitely know how to handle myself." Dorumon nodded with a soft cackle. Silently wondering what she was going to do with her, Zei's Digivice let out a white glow. "Digisoul Charge!" In a flash, Dorugamon stood in front of Leomon, still holding the beer can which she popped out with her red claw. "A Champion against a Champion. Fair fight, don't you agree?" She asked and waited for Leomon's cue. Mattmanganon 07-15-2011 12:31 AM "oh god. i have a bit of money but i really don't want to waste all of my funds watching a Lion drink fox under the table... that money is kinda... special." he said. "i mean the way i got it, i don't wasnt to waste it on this." he said. "what's your problem. i say live a little, come on Dorumon chug, chug, chug, chug." said Impmon. "also, are we forgetting little Ari? someone needs to stay sober. and since it's his younger sister, i vote Siggy." vincanity0011210 07-15-2011 12:44 AM Leon looked around as everyone started to drink or cook. It was an odd feeling wathing everyone so calm and happy during this time. With a sigh he nodded to Dirk. "I'll watch Ari after I give Elle the updates. I don't... enjoy alcohol anyways." Leon tried to say as vaguely as possible. Veemon was looking over at the beers with a child's stare of longing. When Veemon looked to Leon the Tamer just shrugged his shoulders with a grin. "Party it up Short stuff." He said, wanting Veemon to have fun as well. Veemon went over to the drinking table where the two champions were at and picked up a beer for himself from each side. "your both now down one!" Veemon said before popping one open and chugging it. Putting it down next to the shark, Veemon stared at the thing for a minute before turning to Lucas and Zei as he washed his claws in the sink. "You guys need any help? Me and Leon cook all the time at his place." Leon turned to Elle as she appeared next to him. "Well, a couple weeks ago we obviously all found our Digimon partners. After that happened we all began to meet up and Dirk seems to keep providing the buildings for our HQ. Zei and me usually bring food in the morning for everyone and we try to figure out what we all need to do to straighten out our world." Leon said before scratching his head a looking to Dirk. "Hm... what have we really learned so far man? All I can think of is that a random corporation has BlackWarGreymon's tamer held captive and he's actually a pretty awesome guy... oh a Dirk had a crazy moment where he almost killed everyone" Leon said with a smirk, still finding the whole situation funny now that it was all over. Draconis Nevyn 07-15-2011 01:04 AM "So.., the second attack was you?" Elle asked Dirk but she didn't follow it up, it wasn't for her to know if he didn't want to divulge it. "Dark Digivolution.." Wizardmon commented, appearing behind Elle's shoulder and sighing as she jumped. But he gave no further comment and allowed Elle to carry on. "Okay, so there's a tamer missing a digimon. A corporation using said digimon to destroy other digimon, got it. Anything else I should know?" Elle spoke quite easily to Leon now, she wasn't a very heavyweight. Indeed this was only the 7th time she'd ever had alcohol. She took another drink of the beer which was half empty by now and she wass miling a little wider, leaning slightly closer to Leon. As a passing thought, she was happy her top wasn't too low cut for she was still quite uncertain of her body and felt awkward when she noticed guys watching her, so she didn't show herself off. Vocalia 07-15-2011 01:20 AM "Please do, Veemon. I'm making some miso soup to go with the fish." Zei replied. She brought her own food and cooking ingredients just in case and they apparently came in handy. "Miso?" Dorumon's ears perked up. "You'd better save some for me!" She said with a teasingly threatening tone. For some reason, Dorumon had acquired great likings to many types of japanese food, sashimi and miso soup being two of them. vincanity0011210 07-15-2011 02:10 AM "It wasn't really his fault. None of us really knew that our emotions could do things like that once we were partnered up... it was actually Impmon's fault for existing!" Leon said pointedly at the little devil Digimon with a laugh, expecting the usual over the top reaction from him. "Yeah, thats really all I can think of. It sounds pretty short when you say it like that... but yeah its been an adventure." Leon said, shrugging his shoulders before looking over to Veemon who was trying to help Zei make food, specifically soup. "What exactly have you don't since you and Wizardmon met?" Veemon found making soup interesting. When he said that he and Leon cooked, it was more of a "take meat and put on hot surface" cooking style. He managed well though for one who was so unexperienced. Draconis Nevyn 07-15-2011 02:49 AM Here Elle blushed and looked at the ground. "Well when I first met him, he was DemiMeramon and he wasn't kind himself but a little less dangerous than others you guys have faced. He was terrorising some people so I intervened and for some reason I was bonded to him. Wizardmon pointedly looked out towards the ocean, they weren't memories he enjoyed. "Not soon after, BlackWarGreymon appeared and at that time I didn't want him fighting because he had been cruel. I didn't want him going back to what he was. During your battle, his bloodthirst increased and he digivolved, but I managed to calm him down." Elle glanced upwards at Leon, hoping for confirmation that she'd done the right thing but she pressed on "Then Dirk came along and I was tempted this time, no matter how high leveled the digimon was, but I held back once again and ever since I've been trying to calm him down. I finally managed to about an hour ago" She finished and took a drink from the can, finishing it. She placed it beside her chair and noted that Wizardmon hadn't added that Elle had been afraid to fight, as she always had been. It wasn't much to do with not wanting to, it was the fact that she was afraid of someone near to her, or herself being hurt. Oblivion Ascent 07-15-2011 01:27 PM In response to Dorumon's teasing, Siggy just sighed. "No, I'd just rather preserve my sanity for the time being. When Leon volunteered to look after Ari, Siggy just shook his head. "Thanks for the offer, but I'll take care of her. I wasn't planning to get krunk anyway, since when I get drunk..." He stopped midsentence, wincing slightly. "... Let's just say that you wouldn't like me when I'm drunk, and leave it at that..." PsychoScythe 07-15-2011 08:05 PM "Very well." Leomon said as he popped the tab open on his own can of beer. "Three. Two. One. START!" He yelled as he immediately began chugging. (Cue inappropriately epic music.) Lucas facepalmed at their antics before going back to chopping up sashimi. In all honesty, he only knew how to make easy meals like sashimi and steak, as they required no more cooking skill than either cutting up meat or grilling it. Anything else was too complicated for him. As he continued preparing the sashimi, a thought came to him as to how to save on cash, as Leomon and Dorugamon were tearing through the cans of beer in the hut, and showed no signs of stopping. "Yo," He called out to the others. "If someone's making a beer run, buy some hard liquor. It might get those two drunk faster and save us some money." vincanity0011210 07-16-2011 05:32 AM (I work all day tomorrow. Don't expect a response from me except maybe once.) Leon didn't speak during her story, wanting to get the entire thing from beginning to end. It was interesting how different everyone's meetings were with their partners. "Wow, thats an interesting way to meet. Mine was Veemon popping out and replacing my monitor and chasing me for two hours through the city." he said wtih a smile, remembering all the fun stuff that happened that day. "It sounds like you two were definitly meant to be together. Don't worry about fighting anyways. There's enough of us that we don't all need to be fighting all the time." Draconis Nevyn 07-16-2011 02:04 PM Elle smiled at his story and almost hugged him when he said not to worry about fighting but Wizardmon intervened, "Stronger as one unit than fighting by yourself" he said in his cryptic ways. Now his wisdom seemed to be getting annoying but Elle knew he was right so she shook it off and remembered she had agreed that she was going to fight. To stop anyone from being hurt, she'd have to. Even if the digimon she would be fighting were hurt as well, she'd have to. Elle stood up and said "I'm going for a walk, i'll be back soon." something in her voice, very slight though it was, betrayed her anxiety about having to fight and her want to help. The want wasn't something she wanted to talk about, however. Ever, from what she felt at that moment. With that she turned and walked a little away to a sand dune and sat at it's peak, looking out to sea as she thought. A tear from past times crawling down her face. Wizardmon tactfully went back to his sleeping place and promptly returned to sleep. Mattmanganon 07-16-2011 11:03 PM "so, we are at the beach, we have booze and a warm sunny day. what do we do?" asked Dirk getting to his feet. "GET DRUNK AND DANCE NAKED!!!" yelled Impmon Dirk gave him a strange look. "what... i record that and send it into the TV guys that's an easy 250." replied Impmon. Dirk walked over to him then quickly grabbed him. "COME ON, LETS FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE PLAN!!!" Dirk dragged him out of the house with Impmon kicking and screaming. he then ran up to the water and threw him. Impmon coughed and spat out sea water. "that's horrible." he coughed up more "you dick." Dirk was rolling around on the sand laughing his ass off. "HAHAHAHAHA, YOU HAHAHAH YOU SHAHAHAH SHOULD HAHAHAHAVE SEEN YOURSHAHAHA YOURSELF!!!" he laughed. Oblivion Ascent 07-17-2011 11:50 AM When Lucas mentioned a booze run, Siggy instinctively raised his hand. "I'll go, so long as someone keeps an eye on Ari." __________________________________________________ ________________ Meanwhile, NeonGuilmon had decided to check out the new addition to the Digimon team, Wizardmon. He couldn't put his finger on it, but there was something strangely familiar about him, as if he had known him a long time ago. This was probably nonsense, but it would be a good idea to talk to him, at least. "Hi there," He said, stopping about a meter behind the magical Digimon. Vocalia 07-17-2011 12:00 PM Zei had just finished the soup when Siggy announced his intention. However, she was also acting on impulse at the same time and didn't realise the raised hand. "Let me go as well." She said at the same time as Siggy did. Dorugamon, on the other hand, was too busy getting more beer into her system. She didn't show any signs of getting drunk, making her a tough challenge for Leomon. Her red claws pierced the beer cans like wet papers and she quickly emptied the content into her jaws. Oblivion Ascent 07-17-2011 01:59 PM As Zei also volunteered to go get the booze, Siggy raised one eyebrow, albeit very briefly. In a few seconds, it was replaced by the edge of his mouth curling into a small smile/smirk. "Well, if you come, we can carry more," He said, before remembering something important. "Also, how much money do you guys have on you? I have more than enough to pay if push comes to shove, but a few generous donations would be appreciated, all things considered..." Draconis Nevyn 07-17-2011 02:48 PM Wizardmon opened an eye and regarded the digimon carefully "Hello, youngling" he said after a moment of thought. He recognised him but he was not sure why he recognised him. A strage feeling, especially for Wizardmon. "What is wrong, do you need something?" Wizardmon asked in his soothing, mystical voice. He was now a little more interested in NeonGuilmon and his past, so much so that he'd deigned to open his other eye. Draconis Nevyn 07-17-2011 02:50 PM Wizardmon opened an eye and regarded the digimon carefully "Hello, youngling" he said after a moment of thought. He recognised him but he was not sure why he recognised him. A strage feeling, especially for Wizardmon. "What is wrong, do you need something?" Wizardmon asked in his soothing, mystical voice. He was now a little more interested in NeonGuilmon and his past, so much so that he'd deigned to open his other eye. PsychoScythe 07-17-2011 04:23 PM Lucas repressed a grin when Zei offered to go with Siggy. Oh, this would be just one more piece of ammunition he'd use to ride Fluffy with later. In the meantime, Lucas handed over enough yen to pay for a few six packs or bottles of liquor while nodding at Siggy and giving him a thumbs up. At the same time, Leomon was holding his own against Dorugamon, as he showed no signs of getting drunk, and was downing beers two at a time, popping them open with one hand each and chugging both down at the same time. Looking over at the two, Lucas frowned. "Yeah, we're definitely going to need some hard liquor or a few packs of Natty Ice. Hell, do they even sell that in Japan?" Oblivion Ascent 07-17-2011 04:28 PM "Nothing's wrong, I just came to say hi. I didn't get a chance to earlier, because of Zei almost drowning, and my partner, Fluffy, having to calm her down." NeonGuilmon looked at Wizardmon as the latter did the same to him. It looked like this feeling of recognition wasn't a coincidence. Wizardmon appeared to be as curious as he was in this regard. __________________________________________________ _________________ "Thankyou, Lucas," Siggy said, realizing from the beginnings of a smirk and thumbs up that Lucas was giving him, that he was probably going to be getting a good ribbing for the whole situation later. Nonetheless, he put that to the side and took the money, before turning to Zei. "How much money do you have? We've got quite a lot here, so I'm just curious..." Vocalia 07-17-2011 08:06 PM Zei took out her wallet from her bag and pulled out a pile of yen, hundreds in amount. "I don't have much, but enough to buy some expensive liquor." She replied as she turned off the stove. The scent of miso soup emanated from the open pot as Zei did one last flavor test, smiling in satisfaction as she did. "Everyone, do you think you can help me taste this before we leave? I wonder if this soup suits your taste." She asked politely to the other Digidestinied. Mattmanganon 07-17-2011 08:29 PM Dirk came back to the house covered in sand, he shook himself off before walking in with Impmon hanging onto him around his neck. "call uncle." he yelled trying desperately to strangle him but failing. "you're not going to win." said Dirk. he then smelled the Miso Soup. "mmm, who made that? whoever did is obviously good at it... also when's the Shark going to be done?" he asked. vincanity0011210 07-18-2011 04:44 AM Leon agreed with Wizardmon that a strong and collected front was the best way to fight, but battles usually needed more than just strong fighters. It needed support and stealth assistance as well. Leon didn't have time to say anything before the subject had closed and moved on to Siggy and Zei leaving to get alcohol. A grin began to spread on his face. "If you two take our money to check into a hotel I'll be very dissapointed in you both- ugh!" Leon said, before being hit by an empty beer can by Veemon. "Ow! you little..." he muttered, taking out his wallet and taking out enough for a six pack for Veemon. He didn't want to let him get too over the top. At the offer to taste food, Leon left the couch and walked into the kitchen where Veemon gave him a stare. "Shut up Vee, I'm paying for your booze." he muttered before looking in the drawers to find a small spoon. With a twirl of the spoon in his fingers he took a small sip of the soup. "Mmm. Really good. It needs a bit more spice for me, but we can all just take some herbs and spices into our separate soups so everyone can have it the way they want?" Leon offered as a critique to Zei's soup. It was good, but considering how different everyone's taste could be, he thought this would be an elegant solution. Veemon turned to Leomon, figuring his work with Zei was done and asked, "any more help you need with the big fish? I can tenderize with some kicks and punches!" Vocalia 07-18-2011 10:30 AM "Hotel? Is there a hotel nearby?" Zei asked, looking very confused at Leon. She was blessed and cursed with being an innocent country girl who didn't seem to understand what his sentence implied. However, when he commented about the soup, she nodded. "That would be a good idea. After all, I suppose everyone have varying taste." She replied to Leon. She then turned to Dirk as he came in and giggled. "Ah, thank you, Dirk, although I was a bit worried that I made some mistakes here and there..." She blushed timidly and grabbed her wallet before walking towards Siggy. Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 10:36 AM On the other hand, Siggy let out a small chuckle at Leon's little jab. He had to admit, it had been rather well timed. "Anyway," He said to Zei, "Better get a move on. I think we've got to walk quite a way, and we don't want Leomon and Bitey to chug all of the beer, do we?" With that, he began to head for the door. Vocalia 07-18-2011 10:48 AM Looking back at Dorugamon and Leomon who was chugging down the beer at break neck pace, Zei hurriedly followed Siggy out of the house. The sooner they could get the two to stop, the better it would be for everyone else. "I just hope they still have enough beer by the time we come back." She said to Siggy. Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 11:33 AM "Indeed," Siggy said, not taking comfort in the thought of a pair of drunk Digimon. It was now getting rather late, and the telltale signs of night were rolling in. The sooner the two of them found the nearest convenience store, the better. "Anyway, did you see anywhere we could get this stuff earlier? I was too busy trying to keep Ari from stripping Impmon of any more of his dignity to notice..." Vocalia 07-18-2011 11:42 AM "U-Umm..." Zei looked around and spotted fluorescent light and lack of tall vegetations. "Over there!" She pointed to a small store some distance from the entrance of the beach. "Maybe we could get some liquor as well although I strongly doubt that." Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 11:46 AM "Perhaps, perhaps not. Let's see..." As they began to make their way towards the fluorescent lights in the distance, Siggy decided to make a 'check up' on Zei. "Are you feeling better now? You still seemed a little wound up earlier, so I;m just checking..." Vocalia 07-18-2011 11:57 AM Zei nodded politely and smiled at Siggy. "Don't worry about me, Siggy. I'm alright... at least for now..." She replied honestly without any ill intent whatsoever. "-II'm still a little scared, but not enough to put me back into my trauma lapse." Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 12:38 PM "Good to hear," He said, another one of his wry smiles curling the ends of his mouth. The convenience store wasn't far off now, maybe about 5 minutes away, but it was getting dark rather quickly. __________________________________________________ _________________ Meanwhile, Ari, curious as always, had decided to join NeonGuilmon in checking out the newest Digimon member of the team. "Hi," She said shyly to Wizardmon, tilting her head. This one's appearance confused her. Unlike the others, Wizardmon could be mistaken for human at first glance, and this was, in a way, almost happening to Ari. Vocalia 07-18-2011 12:44 PM Zei noticed the darkening sky and attempted to walk faster towards the convenient store. As she walked faster, she accidentally tripped on a rock along the rocky path and fell. Under a reflex move, she held onto Siggy's sleeve and unwittingly dragged him down with her. Their ending position, however, would be something none in the group of Digidestinied would let her live down for as long as she lived should they find out. She now laid with her back on the ground and Siggy on top of her, his face planted in the narrow cleavage between her ample breasts, each pressing against his cheeks. Zei was, by no means, well endowed, but she had rather large assets for someone her age. Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 01:21 PM "Zei, what are yoMMMPH!" Siggy's shout was cut off as he found his mouth muffled by something soft. Two soft things. Two round soft things. Two round soft warm things. Siggy put two and two together, opening his eyes to find that he, as they say, had been marshmallowed between Zei's 'assets'. "MMMPH" He emitted, in embarrassment, turning bright red, and feeling the beginnings of a nosebleed creeping up on him, before trying to get up. Vocalia 07-18-2011 01:28 PM Zei quickly attempted to move Siggy away from her. It didn't help that she was still wearing her bikini top although her lower torso was now clad in tied cloth skirt. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Siggy!!" Zei's face was as red as a ripe apple and her voice seemed to take a new height in octave. The unfortunate girl scrambled to her feet before helping her 'unfortunate' victim up, bowing apologetically. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that! I'm so sorry!!" She squeaked timidly. Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 01:46 PM "N-no biggie," Siggy said, somewhat shakily, as a trickle of blood ran down from his nose. After his face had been pulled from Zei's cleavage, you could see that it was a shade of dark, almost blood red. Vocalia 07-18-2011 01:54 PM Zei seemed unable to tell what happened to Siggy. "A-Are you okay? Are you hurt?" She asked, gently wiping the blood away with her thumb. She was concerned that she had hurt him during her fall. Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 01:58 PM "N-no, I'm fine..." As he said that, a little more blood ran down from his nose, which he just snorted back up. "A-anyway, we should probably get a move on..." Vocalia 07-18-2011 02:03 PM Being reminded of their original goal was enough to snap Zei back momentarily. "Ah! You're right!" She looked at the convenient store. "We'd better hurry." She said to Siggy and walked slightly ahead of him, not noticing blood trickling down his nose. Luckily for him, the rest of the trip went without any incident. The store was surprisingly stocked with liqour and alchoholic beverages. "U-Umm... I'm not sure what to buy..." She looked around in confusion. She remembered being asked to get some hard liquor to get Leomon and Dorugamon to stop, but she wasn't sure which one she should get. Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 02:11 PM When Siggy saw Zei unsure about what to get, he made a little suggestion: "Well, I suggest we get a few things strong enough to knock Bitey and Leomon out, like Whiskey or Vodka. Then get a variety of stuff with the rest." Siggy looked around. The store really did seem to have a good stock of Alchohol. Vocalia 07-18-2011 02:31 PM Nodding to his suggestions, Zei slowly made her way around looking for the items he had told her. She spotted a rack full of vodka and selected three pairs, unsure if that amount would suffice. As a precaution, she grabbed two bottles of whiskey just in case the vodka didn't do its intended trick. Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 02:50 PM At the same time, Siggy began to have a look for any foreign beers. From what he'd heard and observed Japanese beer was often somewhat low in alcohol concentration, so looking for other beers was probably his best bet. Eventually, he found a rather small section for 'Foreign or Imported' beers, and began to gather up a few Six Packs of the stronger beers, before moving towards the Soft Drinks/Mixers section. Draconis Nevyn 07-18-2011 03:11 PM Unintentionally on her part, Elle returned once it had become a lot darker andafter Elle and Siggy had left. She didn't say much but giggled a little at the sight of the digimon and girl surrounding Wizardmon who looked a little taken back at his new found 'popularity' She wasn't amazingly interested in the drinking contest so she therefore regained her previous seat and decided to stare at the wall for a while. Wizardmon was surprised. he had so much company. Though he didn't know what to do with them all, he was a mystical and wise Digimon, not one to go about talking to large groups of people and Digimon. Wizardmon looked at NeonGuilmon and sighed, "Alas, the truth has been spoken. May I say also that you look familiar." then he turned his attention to the girl and grinned, "Hello there." was all he deigned to say to her, wondering what her reply would be. Mattmanganon 07-18-2011 04:36 PM ((i'm going to drop something on the situation now.)) Dirk had stolen a bit of the Shark and had cooked it to eat with the miso soup. he was about to take a bite of it when suddenly Impmon's hand shot out and stole it, then ate the whole chunk in one bite. Dirk took a second to process what he had just seen. all the others saw was Impmon running through the house before Dirk ran after him. "DIE YOU LITTLE BASTARD!!!" "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!!!" laughed Impmon before running to the beach. it was dark and hard to see Dirk looked about and then heard Impmon laughing. "i know where you are..." he said. "and i know wh-" Impmon's voice was then muffled. "alright... i know how to find you, Digivolve." he said getting out his Digivice and a large blue flash before the large figure of Devimon appeared. he had in his hands a small blue creature "what's that?" asked Dirk. "it's Divermon, he's a little git." "and i ain't alone." said Divermon "Striking Fish!" he said throwing a harpoon at Devimon Devimon threw Divermon out to sea. "little asshole." he said Devimon. "and what did he mean by not alone?" at that moment what seemed like an army of Divermon began to crawl out of the ocean. "that isn't good..." said Devimon. "you think you can take 'em?" asked Dirk. "go get the others, i need a good work out." said Devimon, Dirk ran back to the house. "we may be under attack by rogue Digimon." said Dirk. "i think we may need back-up." vincanity0011210 07-18-2011 07:57 PM Leon sighed at Dirk when he came in the room and gave him a playful glare, thena punch on the shoulder. "You aren't allowed to go outside anymore, ya trouble magnet." he said before beginning to run. "Veemon, take a bit of shark and lets get ready for a fight!" Out the door and down the steps, Leon found his way to Devimon and the Divermon. Veemon was ripping off a piece of shark before he stuffed it in his mouth and ran out after Leon. Leon scanned the Divermon and found that each of them were Ultimate, which sent chills up his spine. So small and so pathetic look, Leon was worried that higher leveled digimon would become more commonplace, making their fights a lot more intense. Siggy, get back here soon. We may need to go Mega... Leon thought before turning to see Veemon coming. "Vee! This things are Ultimate! We need to go to Ultimate too! I'll give ya a lift!" he shouted, cupping his hands for Veemon's foot. With a nod Veemon got his foot in the hands and was tossed into the air. "Veemon digivolved into.... ExVeemon! ExVeemon digivolved into... AreoVeedramon!" he shouted, voice getting deeper and more mature as his form changed. "Alright Devimon, lets take out these fish!" Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 08:03 PM As Wizardmon grinned at her, Ari smiled, and decided to go in for a closer inspection of the Mystic Digimon... ... When a horde of Divermon sprung out of the ocean, and began to advance on them. "EEP," Ari squeaked, jumping behind NeonGuilmon in fright, as said Digimon looked at the oncoming swarm of Aquatic Digimon. "... This is going to hurt in the morning." __________________________________________________ _________________ Meanwhile, at the convenience store, Siggy had just gone to pay for the assorted Alcohol, Hard Liquor and Soft Drinks/Mixers, when suddenly, his pocket lit up. "...Huh?" After giving the necessary money to the elderly clerk, Siggy reached into his pocket, and pulled out the source of the glowing, his digivice. '[Incoming Digimon: DIVERMON X Unknown Quantity]' "What's that you got there?" Asked the clerk, who was looking at Siggy's Digivice over the top of his glasses. "My PDA," Siggy lied, before turning his attention to the clerk, "Say, could you hold these for me for a bit? Something's sprung up with the rest of my group, and I need to go sort it out." The clerk thought this over, before nodding. "I guess. You are buying quite a lot of booze, after all..." "Thanks," Siggy said, before turning tail, and heading for the door. "There's a situation, hurry!" He yelled to Zei, as he exited the convenience store. PsychoScythe 07-18-2011 09:24 PM Lucas whirled around when he heard Dirk warning the group about the Divermon. His eyes widened as he scanned them on his Digivice, revealing them to be Ultimate level. With how many there were and their high level, the Divermon would be damned hard to take out. "Leomon, leave the booze and let's kick some ass!" He called out to his partner, his Digivice glowing. Nodding, Leomon began to run towards the beach, glowing with the light of Digivolution. "Leomon, evolve! GrapLeomon!" The light faded to reveal the armor-clad lion Digimon, who proceeded to rush at the Divermon, deleting one after several punches, and threw another into a crowd of Divermon, knocking them over like bowling pins. Absorbing the data of the one he deleted, GrapLeomon called out to the others. "Don't worry! Divermon may be Ultimate level, but they're at the weak end of the spectrum. A strong Champion level is already a match for them." Vocalia 07-18-2011 11:01 PM A series of high-pitched beeps alerted Zei as she pulled out her Digivice, showing many red dots coming into her radius. Handing her own items and neccesary money to the clerk, she bolted out with Siggy. Inside the house, Dorugamon heard an odd splash and saw a swarm of Divermon coming at them en masse. "Well, so much for vacation." She huffed and jumped out of the window. "Power Metal!"Several metal speheres fired from her jaws onto the incoming Divermon, managing to delete a few as she absorbed their data. Standing beside GrapLeomon, she snarled at the army. "I need a little break from all that booze." She said to him. Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 11:17 PM It took them a few minutes, but Siggy and Zei got back to the hut without any real trouble, to behold the problem at hand. "Ho-lee Crap," Siggy said, in awe of the massive swarm of Divermon. Hearing his Partner's voice, NeonGuilmon turned and made his way towards him, Ari climbing onto his back. "Your timing... Is awful, Fluffy," He muttered. "Just be glad I got here in time," Siggy grumbled, as Ari ran over to him and latched onto his leg in fright. "Don't worry, Ari, me and the others will sort these little buggers out," He said, reaching into his pocket to get his Digivice again. Mattmanganon 07-18-2011 11:37 PM Devimon grabbed one of the Divermon by the head. "TOUCH OF EVIL!!!" a black mist ran down his hand and over the Divermon it's eyes went blank and it began attacking the others. Devimon looked at his hands. "that is cool, i didn't know i could do that." he laughed. he grabbed another one "TOUCH OF EVIL!!!" the second one did the same as the first, but Devimon dropped to one knee panting. "wow... *huff huff* that... really takes it out of yah." he panted. "well lets try not to do that too often." said Dirk. "you wanna digivolve?" asked Dirk. "nah... nah, i'll be fine." he then lashed out and slashed a Divermon across his stomach and it disappeared. "come on, i can't do this all by myself." Draconis Nevyn 07-18-2011 11:46 PM Wizardmon stood and sighed, stepping forward he noticed that Elle was by his side now, shaking a little but with a determined look apon her face. She looked at Wizardmon and nodded. Wizardmon smiled and threw himself forward, raising his staff he shouted "Electro Squall!", Summoning a lightning cloud which fired blasts of blue energy down apon the Divermon, depleting their numbers. "Elle, I may need to digivolve further!" he shouted back to her and Elle nodded, which no one naturally would have been able to see, but he managed it. He stared down the Divermon in front of him and glowed Orange as Elle managed to enable him to reach his Ultimate. "Wizardmon digivolve to... Mistymon!" The orange glow faded and there stood an equally wise yet much more powerful digimon, Mistymon, his sword blazing with flames as he weighed it in each hand and his orb glowing a bright white colour as it floated around him. "Now.., that's better.." then he looked at the Divermon and sighed, "You threaten my friends and my tamer, I am afraid you must be vanquished, Blast Sword! The final two words were his attack. The flames on his sword increased in size and then he threw them at the Divermon, those that were caught in the blast, not amazingly many considering, but those that were were vapourised. Vocalia 07-18-2011 11:47 PM Zei quickly made her way to Dorugamon, who was shooting down the Divermon swarm like a loose cannon. "Took your sweet little time." Dorugamon grinned and looked at her while her claws pierced another at the chest, deleting him. "I'm sorry." Zei smiled and looked at the incoming swarm. She scanned one and found out what Digimon the swarm was. "Dorugamon, do you need to?" She asked her. "Nah. I'll be fine." Dorugamon shrugged as she fired a Power Metal at a Divermon trying to make an ambush on Devimon. "These guys are the weakest in the Ultimate data chain. I don't need to Digivolve, at least for now." She asssured her, but Zei remained alert. Oblivion Ascent 07-18-2011 11:55 PM As Siggy grabbed ahold of his Digivice, NeonGuilmon was enveloped in a bust of light. "NeonGuilmon Digivolve to... AmpTyrannomon." As AmpTyrannomon's form fully developed, he began to grow again, with metal protrusions sprouting from his body. "AmpTyrannomon Digivolve to... TeraTyrannomon." The light then cleared, revealing TeraTyrannomon in all of his terrible glory. "Have at you, MAGGOTS," He roared, before charging into the horde of Divermon. "Teravolt... FUSION!" He yelled, slamming an orb of pulsating electricity into the nearest few Divermon. Mattmanganon 07-19-2011 02:55 PM the Divermon began their retreat into the ocean. "yeah, you take it, you take it all!!!" yelled Devimon throwing another Divermon after them. "we'll be back." said one shaking his fist at them. "with our buddy." they went back into the ocean and Dirk sighed, he then looked at the others. "well... that was interesting, so... what now?" asked Dirk. Draconis Nevyn 07-19-2011 05:44 PM "Now? now we must be alert, they said themselves they'll be back and with their friend as well." These were Mistymon's words before the Orange light enveloped him and dragged him down to Candlemon again. "Aww great.." he groaned as Elle joined them "You just need energy, Candlemon, come on let's get some soup." She was kind to him as he'd just helped to save her and the rest of the group. Though if he#d been Wizardmon he would have noticed that it wass because she'd hung back from the fight a little, and she hated herself for it. Why couldn't she just fight, forget the past? vincanity0011210 07-20-2011 06:00 AM "Well... that was quick." Leon said, slightly put out at the easiness of the battle. All of the Divermon were ultimates, yet they couldn't overpower such a small team of ultimate and champion levels? That made it seem too easy and made the power he and Siggy with Veemon and Neonguilmon tried to attain almost useless. Which would be great if there still weren't more battles to fight. Again his mind went to BlackWarGreymon and the idea of a lone Tamer, unsure of what was happening in the world. Veemon came dropping out of the air, having de-digivolved. "You're thinking about him again, aren't you?" "sorry Vee. It's just something I feel needs to get done." Leon said, looking at the rest of the Tamers, then Dirk. "Well, if we'll going to go back and relax, then I suggest a game of Kings or Pong. If we're going to do some recon, then... I don't know" he said before sitting down on a piece of rubble, head in his hands. "I just don't know what I want to do anymore with this, but drinking is looking better and better" Vocalia 07-21-2011 03:34 AM "I don't think it's wise to do anything right now. You all realise that we hadn't eaten dinner, right?" Zei pointed out. "You can never do anything with an empty stomach. I'd say we head back and fill ourselves up before doing what activities you all want to do." She politely suggested. She certainly had no intention of letting any of the Digidestinied fall sick anytime soon and she wasn't about to start now. "Food sounds appealing thanks to all that booze I drink..." Dorugamon chuckled. "Then again, we were interrupted in our little race, but that could wait for another time. Right now, miso soup is calling my name..." With that, she headed back to the house, followed by a bemused Zei. Mattmanganon 07-21-2011 02:44 PM Dirk and Impmon walked back to the hut and sat down. "i want a beer." said Impmon. "you sure, i don't know what kind drunk you are." said Dirk. "i'll be fine." said Impmon. Dirk walked over to the fridge and threw Impmon a Beer. impmon unscrewed the top and chugged the whole thing in about 5 seconds. he then fell over. "wow... that feels, hehehe, funky.... I WANT MORE." he tried to run over to Dirk but tripped and knocked himself out on the coffee table. Dirk wanted to walk over and help him but Dirk couldn't help but fall on the floor laughing. Oblivion Ascent 07-21-2011 02:48 PM As soon as Impmon said that he wanted more booze, Siggy walked in, with the crate of alcohol that he'd bought from the convenience store. "... Well, that was good timing." PsychoScythe 07-21-2011 11:09 PM Now that the battle was over, GrapLeomon proceeded to devolve back to his Rookie form. "Yeah, food sounds nice right now. Sashimi time!" Elecmon said eagerly as he headed back into the house after Zei and Dorugamon. Lucas grinned as he saw Siggy. Time to start the mocking. Making sure Zei was out of earshot, he walked up to Siggy and smirked sardonically. "So...I take it Zei really liked that little mouth-to-mouth session you gave her, huh?" Indeed, this was going to be fun... Siggy had just set the crate of booze down on the table, when he head Lucas commence with the jabs, as he'd predicted. Taking a deep breath, he turned to face him, with what appeared to be a warm and friendly smile on his face. "Well, if she enjoyed it as much as you enjoyed watching it, I guess she did," He said in 'retaliation', keeping his voice down, as not to be overheard by Zei. Mattmanganon 07-22-2011 03:08 PM Dirk grabbed the crate of beer. "sorry guys, not hungry." he then took it out to the balcony and slumped it down. he lay down on one of the sun-beds and sucked on the beer. "shit." he commented. "what's wrong Pineapple head?" asked Impmon. "this whole trip was my idea and it has really gone to the dogs." said Dirk. "what, you said it yourself, someone almost died, we're all about to get drunk, all we need is the orgy and it's the greatest party ever." replied Impmon. "well... i dunno." said Dirk. he sucked a bit more booze out of the bottle. "you're still upset about the Beelzemon incident aren't you?" asked Impmon. "that will haunt me for the rest of my life." said Dirk. Dirk looked over at Impmon, the tapped the lips of their bottles together and then drank again. they both exhaled and looked out at the dark ocean. Vocalia 07-23-2011 09:18 AM Zei had just finished preparing the soup for everyone and setting up the table when she noticed some of the beer missing. Seeing Dirk and Impmon outside, she went out towards them. "Dirk, Impmon, may I sit with you?" She asked politely with a smile. vincanity0011210 07-23-2011 09:26 AM Veemon headed back to the house while Leon made his way to the closest convenience store. Vee's ears were bent backwards when he came in, but the dino perked up a bit once he smelled the delicious food. After taking a decent portion for himself, Vee also set up a dish for Leon before quickly beginning to devour his own and making his way outside. Once the food was gone Vee took a single bottle from the six pack he got from Leon's money and began to drink slowly. Leon's journey home wasn't the simplest. He bought two bottles of vodka and left as quickly as he entered the store, but was stopped by an officer. It wasn't in relation to anything Leon was doing, but the officer had lost his son in the last attack and was asking everyone he met if they saw the boy. Leon's mouth hung partially open when he was told the story before handing the man a bottle and continuing his walk back. Leaving a tearful man in the distance, Leon opened his own bottle and drank 3 shots as quickly as he could down them, letting out a sputtering cough. As he found his way back into the house, Leon made his way onto the couch and laid down before taking another swing. Mattmanganon 07-23-2011 11:37 AM "knock yourself out." said Dirk, he then took another sip from the bottle and then reached his leg over and kicked Impmon off of the sun-bed. "make room for the lady." he said. this was Impmon's first time being drunk as such, he simply rolled off of the sun-bed without much fuss. "grab yourself a cold one and sit down. so... you enjoying the trip so far?" he asked. Vocalia 07-23-2011 11:42 AM Zei winced slightly as Impmon was kicked off the sunbed. "Dirk, you shouldn't do that!" She pouted and picked the purple Digimon up before sitting down beside Dirk with Impmon lying on her lap. "Aside from the cliff incident and Divermon's attack, I actually enjoy coming here." Zei replied honestly and shook her head. "And no beer for me, thank you. I don't like it." She chuckled and placed her hand on his shoulder, looking at him. "Is everything alright? I might not be always able to help, but at least rest assured that you can always talk to me about anything." She said to him with a gentle, motherly tone. Mattmanganon 07-23-2011 11:50 AM "nah, i'm fine." replied Dirk. "so when you going to ask her out?" asked Impmon in a groggy state. Dirk pathetically slapped him on the head, the booze in his system not allowing him to do much else. "quiet you." he said. "and trust me Zei, you are always a help. just your pleasent smile is enough to help." "Take it off." said Impmon in an attempt to mimic Dirks voice. "i'll kill you if i remember this in the morning... you'd better hope i get too drunk to do so." said Dirk. Vocalia 07-23-2011 12:03 PM Zei giggled as the two exchanged drunken banters with one another. "Alright, if you say so. just remember that you can always talk to me." She said to him and gave him a warm smile. "Would you like some miso soup? I can take it for you if you want." Mattmanganon 07-23-2011 12:39 PM "no, i have brain-cells to kill and anything in my stomach is hindering that mission." replied Dirk. "not like you have many to spare anyhow." said Impmon. Vocalia 07-23-2011 01:12 PM Zei was worried about Dirk, but she respected his privacy. "Alright then... I'll be in the house if you need me." She put Impmon down on the sunbed and went into the house. Zei looked back at Dirk and sighed. Was it my fault...? She glumly thought to herself as she sat down and ate her share of the soup. Mattmanganon 07-23-2011 02:03 PM Quote: Originally Posted by Vocalia (Post 4671581) "I'll be in the house if you need me." Dirk knew what he wanted to say. "i need you Zei, i have always needed you, i want you know and forever more." but saying that would make him look like a total ass. maybe it was just the booze thinking. "dammit." he muttered. "just go in there and tell her how you feel." said Impmon "oh yeah, stroll up to a girl i have known for 2 weeks and say "hi, i am madly in love with you and i know that we have only known each other for 2 weeks but do you want to go out at some point when we aren't trying to become tooth-picks for big fucking digital monsters?" "wouldn't be the craziest thing you have ever said." replied Impmon. "screw it." said Dirk, "i'm in the mood for some music." he wondered in the house and came back a minute later with Tim's acoustic guitar. he strummed it softly and then began to play and sing, the drunkeness could be heard in both the guitar and words coming out of his mouth. "nice." remarked Impmon. "my real dad taught me that one..." said Dirk. "i haven't picked up a guitar in 3 years..." he said. "that one is still the one i play." he wiped back a tear. "good for you, do something that isn't so depressing." said Impmon. Dirk began to strum again, the quality wasn't any better than the last one he put the guitar down and sipped at his beer. "i wish Cash and Grohl had done a duet." he said. PsychoScythe 07-24-2011 10:05 PM Lucas's smirk only grew as Siggy retaliated. Ah, the old counter-insult. Distract the insulter by insulting him back, and turn it into a flame war. Yeah, he wasn't falling for that. Ignoring Siggy's response completely, Lucas pressed on with his teasing. "Heh, so what did you two get up to while you were buying the booze, anyway? You took your sweet time getting back here, after all. Tell me, did you at least use protection? If you didn't, Fluffy, then name your firstborn after me, would ya? Now if you'll excuse me, I Need A Freaking Drink." Lucas grinned, looking through the crate that Siggy brought back to see what booze he bought. There was vodka, whiskey, and for some reason, Natural Ice. The cheapest, most disgusting beer brewed in the United States, but it got you drunk quick. Then again, Lucas had no wish to destroy his taste buds for the night, so he kept looking through the crate. Forget this, he was going for the vodka. Grabbing a bottle of vodka from the crate, Lucas set off in search of some shot glasses. Taking two, one for himself and one for Elecmon, he returned to where he was speaking with Siggy and sat down, pouring shots for himself and his partner Digimon. Oblivion Ascent 07-24-2011 11:00 PM As Lucas launched another jab at him, Siggy's pseudo warm smile warped into a slightly evil smirk. If a direct counterattack didn't work, then he'd have to go with the alternative. "What did we get up to? Well, I'll just leave it to your imagination. Knowing you, you probably won't be too far off," He said, cryptically, his tone implying that something had actually happened. He found this amusing, because something did happen between them during the trip to the convenience store. Siggy would never see the worlds 'Marshmallow' and 'Hell' the same way again. "Anyhow, you enjoy poisoning your liver. I've got to go find Squishy and Ari. God knows what they're up to..." __________________________________________________ _______________ "Oh, for Yggdrasil's sake, SOMEONE HELP ME!!!" The plea for help came from a Divermon that had become separated from the horde due to bad luck. It was calling for help because it was being chased by what it could only describe as a depraved monster. "I will name you Squishy Number Two!" Ari yelled, giggling as she chased the stray Divermon, "And you will be my Squishy Number Two!" Vocalia 07-24-2011 11:17 PM Dorugamon's uncanny hearing picked up Ari's and a Divermon's voice. "Pardon me, ladies and gentlemen, but I think trouble wants to play with me." She pute down the bowl she was licking clean and jumped out of the window. She ran towards the source of voice until the Digimon saw Ari chasing a Divermon. "Ugh... I gotta get this booze out of my system... I'm starting to see things..."She grabbed Ari just as she ran past. "Okay there, sweetheart. You're not supposed to chase after my dessert..." She turned to the Divermon and growled angrily, baring all her sharp fangs and deadly crimson claws at the hapless Digimon. "Run and I'll shoot. Attack and you're my food. Surrender and... well, I'm not going to kill you, at least for now." She threatened it. Mattmanganon 07-25-2011 12:04 AM Dirk got off of the sun-bed and looked over the deck to see a Divermon. he walked back and opened the patio door. "don't worry guys, i've got him." he grabbed an empty bottle of Beer and looked out at the landscape. he slowly took aim and then gave one almighty throw into the air, the bottle came straight down and smashed over the Divermon's head. "YES!!! DIVERMON HEADSHOT!!! 50 FUCKING POINTS FOR THE DRUNKEN ORPHAN!!!" he yelled and then slumped down on the bed, for a second it sounded like he was giggling but soon it was evident to Impmon that he was crying. he rolled over. "oh, dad, mum, why'd you have to leave me!!!" he picked up the guitar to strum out a tune he replaced some of the word Linda with Freya Vocalia 07-25-2011 10:13 AM Zei heard the shouting and headed back outside only to see Dirk crying and shouting about his mother and father. A pang of pain resonated in her heart. She was blessed with a small, but whole and happy family and she couldn't help but feel a deep sympathy for Dirk. She sat beside him and listened to him singing before gently wrapping her arms around him. Before she knew it, she had pulled the young man into a gentle embrace. A gentle, motherly embrace. Zei didn't know why she did it. She just felt the need to. People often commented on her motherly instincts and qualities from since she was young, a trait she carried on until today. She didn't say a word to him or Impmon. The girl simply held him silently, but her body gesture asked him to trust her and vent out his anger and frustration even if it was caused by the beer he had been drinking. Mattmanganon 07-25-2011 02:02 PM Dirk was taken by surprise with what happened. in truth he had been in this situation twice before both times was with Kate. first time was when she first found him and the second shortly after he had tried to kill everyone as Beelzemon. he couldn't help but hug her. tight, but not too tight, he then slowly got to his feet. "sorry... I'm not the type to express my feelings, more the type to take it out on my own body." he said, he grabbed a bottle of beer and chugged it. "that helps." he said.
