Old Ones Return (VII)

Lunamon:<I know! We should force them to complete some sort of task that can only be done if they biomerge!>

*Cameron pats Thiera on the back*

<Don't worry, we're here for you.>

Taiyo: "What if that isn't the problem?"

*Tsune folds her arms & taps her foot.*

Ts"What else COULD it be?"

Th"Well--either way--you are welcome to use the Monitamon. Unless you would like a more direct way."

Ts"Are you suggesting we pull a King Drasil and make them fight off something horrible in the hopes that they do it?"

Th"I suggest nothing. It is their own decision."

Taiyo: "I don't know."

Kylie:<It can't hurt to ask them, right?>

*Thiera moves to stand up.*

Th"I will ask. I might as well do something useful with my last day in the Digital World. But where are they?"

OOC: Why not ask DemiDevimon to sniff them out?

Taiyo: "They went inside their tent thing when King Drasil showed up."

*Cameron and Biyomon rise as well*

Cameron:<We'll come with you, if you want back up.>

OOC: Because Renamon fucked up.

Th"No, I will only need someone to lead the way."

OOC: Renamon could sniff them out. On account of not being dead.

Taiyo points out where they are, but still waits for Euryale.

Cameron:<If you're sure.>

*He takes a step away*

OOC: But she won't, on account of her & Taiyo being ridiculously unsupportive.

*So Thiera heads off to barge into somebody's tent.*

OOC: Or not wanting to be the next DemiDevimon. Y'know, dead.

They're sitting about almost about to leave until it becomes apparent it isn't Drasil and his stooges waltzing like assholes often do.

Azuma: "How'd it go?"

OOC: Too soon.

*Cameron sits back down a short ways from the tent, crossing his arms*

Th"It is too early to tell. But we were discussing and thought that a good use of this time would be for the 2 of you to train to Biomerge."
=======================
*Tsune sits on the edge of the water while Gomamon goes for a swim.*

*Lyra finds a place in the shade to sit, Kotemon by her side. Kylie takes her shoes/socks off and dips her feet in the water. Lunamon splashes Gomamon*

OOC: Not soon enough.

Azuma: "Which is supposed to mean?"

Th"Biomerging is supposed to involve a strong shared goal between partners, right? Like I said to the others, you are welcome to use the Monitamon, but a more direct method may be more useful. You could ask the Leomon or the Sovereigns if they have anything in mind. Of course, we do know someone who is very good at trial by fire."

*She nods towards King Drasil, who appears to just be going around patching up Digimon data with his magic glowing hands.*
========================
*Lunamon is swarmed by fishes. Marching Fishes. Tsune kicks the water.*

Ts"Ugh, how long do you think all of this is going to take?"

Azuma: "You think Patamon and I have different goals in mind or that I'd do anything involving Drasil?"

*Lunamon high tails it away from the river so she doesn't get hit by a bunch of flying fishes*

Th"Oh no, you might have to do something unpleasant in order to help the group, how horrible for you!"

*After snapping, she breathes deeply through her nose.*

Th"I do not know, how about you tell me why you can't Biomerge?"
===========================
*Bit late for that.*

*Lunamon flops to the ground dramatically*

Lunamon:<Tell my family I love them...>

*Kylie shakes her head and sighs*

Azuma: "Well, no one you give a damn about was endangered by that tyrant, so why should you care about my refusal to do anything with them? And how should I know? I don't make up the rules for how it works."

*Her lower lip trembles & tears begin to pool at the corners of her eyes.*

Th"Then just sit around and wait for everyone else to work things out, if that is what makes you happy!"

*Without waiting for a reply, she runs off to the scorched ground that was formerly the Digi-Egg fields, remnants of cribs still visible partially buried in the ash.*
============================
G<Hey, I don't think it went well.>

*Gomamon points to Thiera's hasty retreat.*

Azuma: "It isn't."
