Old Ones Return (II)

Azuma: "Thought so. And speak for yourselves. No one thinks less of me for being a Tamer."

E"Yeah, if you ignore the big, angry Ikkakumon ranting about how all humans are evil & all Digimon who help them are traitors."

Azuma: "Not my problem. And I'm the only one not working for Hypnos to avoid jail time."

Cameron:<I'm not.>

Kylie:<Guilt by association?>

Lunamon:<Just wait, they'll tap your digivice soon enough.>

E"You're not working for Hypnos at all."

Cameron:<Yup.>

Biyomon:<Let's hope it stays that way.>

Azuma: "I'm the only one legitimately working for them. Not sure what that entails, but let's hope it doesn't compromise this budding friendship/partnership."

*Thiera looks to Renamon.*

T"So...you've been pretty quiet."

Taiyo: "She's the strong, silent type."

Renamon: "I speak when necessary or when addressed."

T"Don't you want to tell us about yourself?"

D<Or give a shit to hear what we have to--you know, that's not even remotely intimidating.>

*DemiDevimon is looking sideways into Thiera's eyes, Thiera having turned her head to give the Digimon an angry glare.*

Renamon: "I am Taiyo's partner. I have no recollection of my life in the Digital World."

Patamon: "That's it? No hobbies, favorite color--can you even see color?"

*Thiera, Euryale, & their partners lean in, interested in hearing the answer.*

Renamon steps back, visibly uncomfortable by being put on the spot.

Patamon: "Aww, she's shy."

*Lunamon and Biyomon smile*

Biyomon:<Don't be shy, we're all friends here!>

Azuma: "Debatable. Especially when the newest member of the posse was found loitering in a parking lot. I'd be weary if him too."

Taiyo: "Don't take it the wrong way. She's like this with every new person she meets."

T"Oh...okay...."

*Thiera still looks disappointed, so Euryale pats her on the back.*

D<Whatever.>

*She doe something with her wings that may or may not be jazz hands."

Taiyo: "She'll warm up to, eventually. Maybe not Batty though. He's kind of a jerk."

Lunamon:<He's not as bad as someone.>

*Cameron looks slightly annoyed*

*DemiDevimon starts flapping her wings, oblivious to the fact that she keeps slapping Thiera in the face.*

<I'm a girl! And shut up!>

Lunamon:<Sorry! Well, in truth, I suppose we don't really have genders.>

Kylie:<I think you mean sex.>

Lunamon:<Oh, right, sorry.>

Azuma: "There's more to sex that anatomy. In this case lack of, hopefully. Like I imagine this critter isn't actually a he in the traditional sense."

Patamon: "Nope."

T"Recent convention has it that sex is physical characteristics and gender is the perception of oneself. Though that might be a bit of an oversimplification."

E"To complicated. How about all of the girls raise their hands?"

*Euryale raises her hand, DemiDevimon extends a wing. Confused, Thiera follows suit.*

Taiyo, Hitomi, and Renamon raise theirs. Salamon raises a paw.

Azuma: "How about how many are of the specified sex in the traditional sense? Angemon looked like more of a man than I'd ever be, but biologically, I'm all male."

Salamon & Patamon: "Please stop talking."

*Kylie and Lunamon raise their hands*

E"Well, it's getting late, we'd better head home."
