i expect cute things (closed)

[derpmons]

Who: The Protectors

What: Evacuating baby Digimon

When: 24-26 April

Where: Primary Village



Maybe baby Digimon weren't what you expected, but whatever you thought you've now found yourself with quite the handful. All around is brightly colored blocks that are soft as pillows and the only thing cuter might just be the Digimon that lived there. In bright colors and pastels little pillow-like creatures surround you.

If there was a stillness to the air you wouldn't be able to tell it from the energy bundled up in these little guys. They seem happy to see everyone and are too distracted by playing to understand the word "evacuating"... but is it just you or do they seem to stop and whimper every once in a while?

[[OOC: This is a non-combat role so you're free to do what you wish! The baby Digimon can be quite the handful and may not want to cooperate, so it's up to you to evacuate them safely. Or you could just play games instead because it can't really be that bad, right?

If you ant to battle a passing Digimon who's uneasy about the area make sure to talk to the group or keep it single (these digimon you fight will be normal ones, so no worries about working together).

Ask any questions as needed!]]

welp first post?

[dressup]

[Elizabeth admits that she's been nervous for all of the Trailmon ride and people. Of course, worries erased away for a few seconds when her team arrived in the village and all of the adorable baby Digimon are just playing around. Then again, this is important that these young ones are save and Dorumon already told her ahead of time that she can't take one home, which is a little disappointing because they are all so cute!

Some of the passing Digimon appear intimidated, but Dorumon and herself will keep their guard up. Her current trouble is a group of Leafmon, who seem happy to see her yet a little shy.]

Come here, little ones! We can play a game if you follow me, okay?

[Get their attention, move them to a safe location, and repeat. This doesn't seem too bad... yet.]

[firewall]

[ If Elizabeth was nervous, then the word you'd have to use for Chihiro was 'a wreck'. He'd never done anything like this, and even though it was a bit more laid back of a job than some of the others (remaining in the city and fighting, for one) he couldn't help but feel anxious. If only he were stronger.. then he wouldn't have to worry.. then this would be a piece of cake for him.

Either way, right now, Chihiro and Coronamon are busily running around and scooping up digimon, being careful not to hurt them. Chihiro has to carefully chide Coronamon sometimes, because he can be a little unintentionally rough. ]

A—Ah, Elizabeth-san, are you having trouble?

If you are, let me help!

[dressup]

I-It's okay, I think I got it!

[...Until one sneaky little Leafmon bounces off to another place while the rest started to follow Elizabeth. Then again, with a plant-like baby Digimon that could blend in with the grass, it could be tricky to keep an eye out on all of them.

Dorumon quickly moves to the escaping one and gently headbutts it back to the group.]

Chihiro, you can help me make sure they all stay together while we move them, okay? They can kind of blend in with the grass, can they?

[firewall]

O—Okay. Coronamon?

[ Chihiro looks to his digimon, and they nod at each other, jogging to the group of Leafmon and encircling them so none of them can escape. Coronamon lowers to his knees to gently push them into a neat, orderly circle. They're kind of smushed, but it can't be helped. ]

I think that's all of this species. Should we get the next group..?

[dressup]

[What matters is that they are grouped and together, not running off to play. She claps her hands together.]

Mhm! Which group should we round up next?

[innermonologues]

[Squall decided to take a break from rounding up the little digibabies, but that soon turned out to be a horrible idea. He was leaning against one of the colorful blocks with his eyes closed and his arms folded when a few Leafmon came bouncing on over to him. They started giggling and nudging him and when he opened his eyes he was surrounded by Digimon.

He looked around and seemed completely awkward right now.]

..... What.... do you want?!

[dressup]

[....While she was herding one group, another just had to go cause trouble.

She heard Squall's loud commotion and quickly pushed her Leafmon group to the bigger groups so she can quickly get the ones bothering the older man. At least it's just a few, able to pick up two in her arms while Dorumon nudges one on his back.]

Are you alright?

[innermonologues]

[ He nods his head and stands up awkwardly. He glances at the girl and then away. ]

Just... was startled that's all.

[dressup]

[She sighs in relief that he didn't get hurt, even if these are babies.]

Well, at least they didn't hurt you... Even if they are so young to probably do that.

[daughterofdestiny]

[If you ignored the fact they were Digimon, in a lot of ways this reminded Yumemi of various preschool outings when the teachers and adults attempted to keep them all together and in line. Knowing this didn't exactly help her really as she ran after a small group of giggling digimon.

This sort of action also translates into a game to most of them instead of realizing she's trying to keep them together with the bigger group for their own safety. Her candlemon is partially helping as he is also seeing it as a bit of a game and challenge to catch the smaller digimon.]

[innermonologues]

[ Is this how children acted? He wasn't sure. He was sure that he was rather uncomfortable right now. With the help of Kudamon, Squall caught a few Digimon staying away from the pack, but when he set them down they all decided to bounce and sing aroiund him. Now he's stuck standing there uncomfortably. ]

[daughterofdestiny]

[And of course that draws attention of other baby digimon and a slightly hyper Candlemon, because you're tall and standing in the middle of everything. Which means the herd around Squall just got a little bigger even as Yumemi carrying a few leafmon in her arms approaches as well.]

Uhm, would you like us to help sir?

[innermonologues]

[ He doesn't say anything to the girl, but the look on his face says "Yes please help" ]

[daughterofdestiny]

[The lack of an answer doesn't really bother her. Because it means she doesn't really need to talk either. So she turns back to herding as best as she can and catching any that try and run away, all while directing them slowly away from the other.

Only smiling slightly as the last of the stragglers finally stop singing around him and join the rest.]

open.

[culver]

[Perhaps directing an evacuation wasn't the best role for Nill. Not having a voice can really put a damper on the directing bit of it.

But at least her presence and appearance seem to make the babies more likely to follow and listen to her. Several of them had asked her if she were a digimon herself, if one of her attacks was not talking. All she does is smile gently, trying to keep them away from the fighting that is slowly creeping closer.

With a Yuramon in one arm and a Conomon in the other, she carefully herds the babies who can bounce or crawl. Renamon has a Leafmon herself, and is directing traffic with her free arm. One of the fresh digimon--a Pabumon--breaks off from the pack, giggling mischievously. The blonde sighs to herself, glances behind herself nervously, and starts after it. She trusts that her partner will be able to manage the ones they've gathered.]

[innermonologues]

[ Squall isn't sure why he joined the others into grabbing these little marshmallowpuffs but it seemed easy enough. At least that's how it sounded at first. Some ran away scared, some were affectionate and more often then not they were playful and running around like it was a game. Squall wasn't sure how to deal with them.

Luckily he came over at the right time because the little Pabumon that ran away bumped right into him when Nill came after it. He glances down and then to the girl. ]

... This yours?

[culver]

[She slows as she approaches, trying to figure out who he is. He's clearly a chosen child like she is, but she doesn't think they've spoken (heh) before. At least the digimon has stopped running (oozing?) away.

Nill smiles, and gestures with an elbow behind her to the little herd that Renamon is still directing. Really, as long as the digimon get to safety, it doesn't matter who gets them there. She gives the unfamiliar young man a hopeful look. Perhaps he'll help?]

[innermonologues]

[ He awkwardly lifts up the oozy digimon and nods his head. He'll help bring it on over to the group she was herding. He wasn't really good with the talking thing and looking at her, she didn't see like she was either. Must be shy or something.]

Over there, right?

[ His own partner Kudamon is around another group of baby digimon running around them and doing little tricks to make they distracted.]

[dressup]

[Elizabeth has been mostly doing her own job with gathering with Dorumon, but some of the young ones are very... hyper and not wanting to be held by anyone. A sly Zerimon bounces away from her in a small chase, giggling bounce after bounce.]

Come back!

[At least one false bounce ends up having a Zerimon bumping into the Pabumon to stop the chase and Elizabeth quickly scoops it up before it escapes again.]

Got you!

[culver]

[Nill sees the Zerimon coming, and picks up her pace a bit in hopes of catching the Pabumon before they collide. Sadly, she is too late. But at least they've stopped. She can't pick up the other digimon on her own, but she can at least keep it corralled between her and Elizabeth for the time being. She offers the other girl a thankful smile.]

[dressup]

Phew... [A lot of energy to go chasing after this one, but catching it in the end is worth it. She smiles at Nill, with Dorumon catching up to her since he was busy moving the group that the escaped one belonged to, just in case there is no other runners.]

Guess we got lucky, huh... This one would've run forever if I didn't catch it!

Psychemon, Open

[changelingdude]

Psychemon wasn't a fighter.

She'd never hurt another creature in her life and she wasn't about to start now. She firmly believed that there should be a way to talk through most problems. But for the life of her she couldn't see a way out of this fight.

So she had chosen to stay with the babies. She wished that Changeling had come with her but he told her his place was to stand with the others and keep the Bees from reaching her and the babies.

He was stupid like that.

Trying to distract herself from her anxiety she had gathered together a group of the little ones and was singing to them, using her paws to mime out the song.

"In a cabin in the woods,
a little old mon by the window stood.
Saw a Chumon hopping by.
tapping at the door.
Help me help me! The Chumon cried.
I just need a place to hide.
Come little Chumon come inside,
I'll take care of you."

Her voice was soothing and deep when she sang, and the animated gestures seemed to hold the babies attention. They especially liked taking turns in her strong arms at the end of the song while she sang "I'll take care of you." Because she would snuggled them close and rock them gently before setting them down.

[innermonologues]

[ While Squall was busy getting ambushed by all the cute little marshmallow-y digibabies, Kudamon went around seeing if he could help anyone else gather them up. He paused when he heard someone singing a song and smiled. He clapped his little paws when the song was over. ]

[changelingdude]

[As she began gathering up the little ones and ushering them in the direction that all the other Tamers were taking the babies she heard the clapping and squeaked, blushing hotly under her pelt.]

O-oh uh...thank you.

[innermonologues]

That sounded so pretty. I felt all warm and cozy inside too!
