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!]]

[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.]

[ 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.]

[culver]

[She doesn't mind the silence at all. Honestly, it's how she spends most of her time. But she at least answers his question with a short nod, hefting the digimon in her arms a bit more. Renamon looks up as they approach, inclining her head slightly before she speaks.]

Thank you.

[innermonologues]

[ He nods his head to her reply. ]

You are welcome. [ He's apparently not very good at this talking thing. He shifts uncomfortably and looks into the distance where Kudamon is wrangling up his own digibabies to help. It doesn't really bother him that Nill isn't speaking and he wasn't going to pry or anything.]

...We're here to help together, right?

[culver]

[Luckily for him, he has found probably the least talkative team in this world right now. With one mute and one extremely taciturn, he's basically hit the jackpot. Nill starts walking with the baby digimon again, though she keeps her head tilted towards him slightly so as not to seem rude. Again, Renamon answers for them:]

Yes. These ones can be a handful when wrangled alone.

[innermonologues]

[ Normal people would find this awkward, but Squall over here is quite content with the silence. ]

Yes... I noticed them being a handful. Hyperactive balls of fluff and ... slime.

[ He glances around awkwardly. ]

[culver]

[You'll fit right in with these two, Squall. Renamon's mouth looks almost like a smile, and Nill can't hide her own.]

They're newborns. We were all like this once.

[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!
