[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

[ 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.

I hereby rescind my previous order. Neku, you're going in.

Oh come on! [ Roze cried, laughing despite the disappointment. ]

Don't be like that! I'll go, I'll go. And I won't sing anymore, promise! Geez, Princess.

You guys do what you want. They're Lance and Squire to me. Two sturdy little heroes, right guys? You'll digivolve sooner or later. I wouldn't worry too much...

...gumdrop. [ She laughed softly, chewing her bottom lip in thought as she crept closer to the field, raising both hands to the back of her head. ]

I really don't see what the big deal about these things is. They look innocuous enough on the outside... [ Roze shrugged, leaning forward and popping her head in, just like she'd been previously ordered.

She had her eyes closed, expecting it to feel weird - maybe like dry-dunking your head into a vat of pudding - and found it largely without effect. Until she opened her eyes.

Forced to squint against the rush of light into her vision, she tried to re-balance herself, tilting too far forward in her lean. Hands previously behind her head moved to windmill for balance, until something brushed her face, again, then again. The pain registered belatedly, like bearing your face in a powerful blizzard, bits of ice tearing at your exposed skin. She tried to reel back immediately, jerking her arms back and straining to right herself, not realizing she'd already leaned well-forward off her heels. ]

[Neku had started to huff in amusement, not at all wanting to go near the damned thing but willing to for peace of mind. Even as he approached it though Roze strolled past. Which put him in prime seating to see what happened.

When she jabbed her face in he growled]

Damn it Roze, at least let us tie something to y- ACK!

[Failing arms and tipping boots. Without thinking about it he snagged the hem of her shirt, digging his heels in. But Roze outweighed him by a lot, and he was not going to make headway. But at least maybe he could hold her up until Squall or Seifer saw what was happening.

Or could have, if her pinwheeling hadn't caught him, elbow right to the temple. In fact, the one NeoDevimon had injured only a few days before. He didn't even have time to cry out, out like a featherweight against Mike Tyson, flopping over right into her back.

Best team, good job]

[ He was walking closer with his hands still in his pockets. He wanted to tell her to be careful about this. It wasn't a stupid game they were playing. Others have gotten really hurt by playing around in these Dark fields. He wanted to at least, but before he could open his mouth she already stuck her head in. ]

C'mon Roze this isn...! [ before he could even finish his sentence She started falling in and Neku took on the duty of trying to pull her out. But he wasn't that strong. Why did he think he could do this! ]

Roze! Neku!

[ He lets out a frustrated noise and runs to the Dark field. Gone! They were completely gone! He looked around to see if there was any trace left, anything to hold onto just anything at all, but his mind was racing and nothing seemed useful around them. He lets out another frustrated growl.]

[ Seifer looks at Squall and gestures to the point in which Roze and Neku vanished. Did that just happen? Did that seriously just happen? ]

Okay, so now we both know for sure that those two are complete dumbasses.

[ She just ran on up without grounding herself at all. BRILLIANT! Sure, his plan was risky but she didn't take a single precaution. Sheesh. And Neku weighs less than a chocobo feather. What was he thinking? ]

Might as well follow 'em.

[ Although he wasn't sure if he should actually go in there with the device. Would that ruin it? He supposed Squall could babysit it, but... ]

[ Roze fell forward, getting her hands out in time to prevent smashing her face into the ground. What she didn't expect was for a sack of potatoes to fall on her back as well, forcing a pained curse from her. She was feeling better but that didn't mean her ribs weren't still broken. ]

FUCKIN' CHRIST GET OFFA ME! [ She snarled, reaching over and moving to hit whatever was on her, but...there was nothing. She writhed and squirmed and eventually crawled away, pushing herself to her feet and ducking her head as she covered her face.

YEAH SURE SEIFER. UHHH JUST STICK YOUR HEAD IN HE SAID? Brilliant! What the fuck did she do now?! ]

Musashi? Musashi!?

[ Where was her Kotemon? Outside with Seifer and Squall of course, scrambling forward and crying out in horror. ]

LADY ROZE! LADY ROOOZE!
