[OOC: Please, only one mission per Chosen so that others have a chance to take part as well! There is only one Dark Field Eliminator, and the groups will receive it. Do not break it. This will act as a mingle log. The missions are simple, so this is really an opportunity for you to log out CR if you'd like it. There really is no sign up for these. We just request that you do not go over the max number of participants, but you can certainly have under the number if everyone is alright with that. Remember, some of these will be taking place during the weather event, so if there's a day you want your character to be in the city for and it's a far away area, plan accordingly! Enjoy!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

...They need the most protection out of anyone here.

[ He glances back at them with a raised eyebrow. ]

Keep that up and Seifer might want to marry you.

[ He rolled his eyes and continued looking forward now. He just wanted to protect the baby digimon and go back home. He didn't ask for all of this socializing and bickering. ]

[ If he weren't holding the Eliminator, he would have aimed a punch right at Squall's head. Luckily, even Seifer has enough maturity to know that not being careful with the device would endanger them. So, he reigns in his temper, choosing to ignore Squall's comment in order to focus on Neku's. Better that than trying to figure out Kotemon was thinking. ]

But we have this thing. If things turn sour, we can just turn it on and it'll dissipate, right? It ain't like havin' a peek is going to set off missiles. We should have a plan B anyway. Y'know, in case this thing doesn't actually work.

Nah. I'm not really marryin' material...[ She mumbled, unable to hide the color in her cheeks as she looked away and pretended the sky was particularly interesting. Kotemon only looked at Seifer with even deeper scrutiny.

Roze puckered her lips, making bubble popping sounds for a minute before arching a brow and turning with interest to Seifer's words. ]

Huh. I didn't even think about that. I mean the kid seemed pretty fuckin' sure it would work, but if it doesn't, what then? I know I ain't got any kinda skill with the gizmos around here. I'm lucky I can figure my terminal most mornings. And when if there's something out there causin' trouble right now?

You think we should come up with some kinda game-plan? [ She asked Seifer, deferring to him because Squall seemed so unbearably anti-social she was beginning to think addressing him directly might make him snap like a dry rubber-band. ]

Well, if the gizmo destroys data, I wouldn't wanna accidentally kill any babies who might be in there even if it DOES work.

[he ponders]

I know Kudamon hasn't evolved, and I think Kotemon can reach Champion, right? What about Impmon?

Just because he can't digivolve doesn't mean he isn't strong.

[ Squall's buttons are being pressed all over the place here. Normally little comments like that didn't bother him, but now he was feeling like he was a burden on this mission and that really got to him. ]

Squall....

Don't you worry about Impmon. And goddamn, Squall. No one said anything about bein' strong or weak so stop getting defensive.

[ Seifer shrugged his shoulders. His tone of voice made it clear Impmon couldn't digivolve, but the imp waved his arms around. ]

I can digivolve! Just you wait! When danger comes, I'll protect you all!

Tch. More like you'll run away with your tail between your legs. Anyway, we should at least pop our heads in to see the situation. Just one of us'll do; that person can relay the information back to the others. If it's clear, we switch the thing on. If there's digimon trapped in there who aren't psychotic, we drag 'em out and then turn it on.

[ Roze had been opening her mouth to snap a response at Squall that would have been significantly less reasonable than what Seifer said but she dropped it in favor of letting the blonde take the card. She was fine by that. Better than dealing with more moping. ]

Uh. well, I can do it? I mean I volunteer. Musashi and I ain't really had a lot to do lately, and since he has evolved we've been wantin' to work out a bit more. [ She shrugged, bumping the Kotemon gently, who nodded in agreement. ]

Your call, though. [ Roze added, looking to Seifer and shrugging dismissively. ]

[When Squall responded to him, Neku's eyes widened in surprised hurt, then slitted down to razor edges.]

You KNOW that's not what I meant. Kudamon isn't the problem.

[Even after the world's most traumatizing crash course in character development and becoming an actual decent human being, Neku wasn't always the most tactful with his words. And with a snarl stomped off ahead a bit. Let them figure out a plan. He had Terri and his crest, if it came to that]

[ Those words stuck to him like a knife through the chest. 'Kudamon isn't the problem...' So he still was the problem. No matter what he did he was still the only one to be blamed. Fine. That was fine.

His hands clenched up into tight fists and his eyes narrowed almost looking a bit fiery. If he were anymore cat like the hair on his neck would be bristling. Fine. FINE

Kudamon could feel how angry and tense was getting and frowned as he tried to pat his arm gently. He didn't want his partner to act irrationally or anything. ]

( Whatever. )

What are your orders then, Seifer?

Edited 2013-09-24 23:45 (UTC)

My orders, Mr. SeeD, are for you to get your act together. We all know you care about the eggs and newly hatched Digimon or whatever, but guess what? This is a mission; treat it like one. We can't afford to have someone get so emotional on the field. If you keep it up, you're gonna screw us all over and those precious Digimon you care so much about might get hurt or killed.

[ Seifer debates what, exactly, he wants to do. He'd be much happier sticking his head in there himself, but... deep down, he knew it wasn't a responsible thing to do. Impmon couldn't digivolve and he knows his gunblade wouldn't actually do anything. It pains him, but he has to take this seriously. ]

Roze'll do it. The three of us will wait outside. She gives us a thumbs up sign and we turn it on. If she gets pulled in or there's trouble inside, we head on in, take care of it and then get rid of the Dark Field. Everyone in agreement?

Yessir, Captain!

I meant them.

[ Tension, Squall art thy name. She'd seen him bitter and battered and blue and everything in between but right now he looked like a lemon that just got its first taste of lemon. He could have turned inside out.

Maybe...

MAYBE this wasn't a good time to be poking and prodding, right?

Yeah Roze has some sense. Small though it may be. So she licks her lips, nods and lets Musashi's hand go to tuck both her hands into her pockets, chest rising and falling with a long, deep sigh. ]

In and out, boss. You got it.

[Neku makes a grunt of agreement, lifting his crest slightly off his neck so Seifer can see it. A silent acknowledgement that if things get hairy enough they have an Ultimate too. He doesn't trust himself to talk right now]

[ He nodded his head to Seifer's comment, still looking rather furious. He'll just go along with the plan. He'll do whatever he's told, and when all of this is over he'll leave and blow off some steam. This is exactly why he was telling people it was easier not to grow attached. Now his feelings are ruining his concentration and even Seifer is questioning him.

He shoved his hands into his pockets and waits for Seifer and Roze to walk ahead of him so he can walk behind and keep himself at a distance. ]

Understood.

[ That Crest didn't mean much to him. Seifer got the message, but he didn't have much faith in it. He had a crest, too, but his Digimon couldn't even digivolve once. So he walks along, keeping silent with his gaze locked onto Squall. What is wrong with him today? He knows he had a hangover from Dante's party earlier, but even during their SeeD exam things between them weren't quite so... tense. Seifer liked him better when he was tired and drunk; he was more sociable and less irritating.

Eventually, he glances at Roze as if expecting her to lighten the mood. He wouldn't mind if they just finished the mission in silence and went their separate ways, but still... ]

[ Humming idly, Roze was ignoring everything for the moment, looking around blandly until she just happened to catch Seifer's look. An owlish blink was his response before she coughed, pasted on a big smile and threw her arms in the air, striding ahead of him and elbowing Squall lightly. ]

Hey hey people! Just think! We'll get to be heroes to all the newest generations of Digimon, right? And when the days go on, even when they get other partners they'll still always remember the four guys that came in and got rid of the big bad, right?

No reason to be so stiff and glum. If we're luck-- [ She bit her cheek, flared her nostrils and skipped a bit. ] --fortunate, this'll be an easy in and out job, right? No need for a show of force!

[ She broadened her stride enough to catch up with Neku after that, plucking at his hair lightly. ]

Just show up, push the button, save the day! Recipe for instant hero, right? Roze chimed, smiling that dazzling, fierce smile as she walked backwards, facing everyone with her hands folded behind her back, attention on the others and nothing else. ]

[Neku sighed, his anger slowly fading without any continued argument from Squall. He didn't WANT to fight, after all. But Squall's mood was rubbing off on him, and Neku's first instinct was forever to bristle and push. Other people just cause trouble- he knew that wasn't really true. But old habits die hard]

You're right. We probably won't have to fight at all.

[He glanced back at Squall, but didn't quite have the courage to try and apologize. He was still *mad* damn it]

( You all can take the glory. I don't care. I just want them to be safe. )

[ He just stared forward not looking at anyone in particular. He was going to prove he wasn't going to be a burden on the team. He was going to show them that him and his emotional level wouldn't screw things up. If he had to follow orders to an exact description he would.

He was done talking now. Anything he said now would come out as bitter and sassy and then Seifer would kick him out of the group. ]

Roze, you're right! We'll keep them all safe and they'll be well protected for when their own partners come!

[ Roze's reading of him is always either 100% on or 100% off, so it's a relief she was right this time. The atmosphere's cheered up a little, but even Seifer can still feel the tension between Neku and Squall. Apparently someone's going to have to give Squall a lesson on how to apologize. It's not going to be him. Definitely not him.

Seifer decides to keep quiet for now, wondering if all Dark Fields looked the same. Well, even if they didn't, he was sure that it'd stick out like a sore thumb no matter what. ]

[ Hm. Not working. Okay...new tactic. ]

SO. I was thinkin'.

Kudamon and Impmon. They're kinda special and all, right? They aren't the ONLY Kudamon and ONLY Impmon, though, so they oughta be all good and named too, right?

So, I figure, since Impmon is Princess' sidekick, he's kinda like a Squire, right? So Squire ain't such a bad name. I meants with a lot of effort and ambition, one day you can be a knight and hero.

And Kudamon with Squall, bein' all like...military-ish. I thought "Lance Corporal" but then figured, Lance sounded pretty cool on its own. Like the weapon...

So how about Squire and Lance?

...

[Blink blink]

I can't tell if that's stupid or adorable.

[ Squall has nothing to say in this conversation. They could call him whatever they wanted to. Its not like it would get him to call Kudamon differently. He gave her a stare and a few blinks before staring ahead again. ]

Those nicknames sound really important. Having names like that... it makes me feel really good inside knowing you think I'm that important!

[ He frowns a little and stares down at Kudamon. It'a hard to say no to a reply like that. ]

No way in hell.

[ Maybe "Squire" is too close to "Squall?" ]

Besides, we were both cadets. And I already gave him a name: Pixie.

[ Still taking offense to that nickname, too. Sure, he's gotten used to it... but he still doesn't like it. ]

I'm not Piximon!!!

That's not nice, Princess. Pixie is a baby name. You call him Pixie and I call you Snookie-Pookums.

Puddin'-pop.

Honey-bunch? Cuppy-cake, sugar-plum, pumpy-umpy-umpkin. You're my sweetie-pie. You're my cuppy-cake, gumdrop, snoogums-boogums, the apple of my eye! [ She was singing, just like that, eyes glinting with playful menace as she walked ahead of everyone, heading straight for the Dark Field. ]

...And I love you so and I want you to know that I'll always be right here, and I love to sing sweet songs to you, because you are so DEAR!

...

Wow. Okay that happened.

[ Squall raised an eyebrow to the breaking out into song. Yep. That certainly did just happen right now. ]

That always happens with her.
