Episode Three: Beneath the Deep

*Eve heads over to Roatha*

<Where's everyone?>

Taiyo bites the corner of her lip, blushing.

Taiyo: "...Yes."

===================================

Nothing had to be broken as the door was left unlocked, but unfortunately there are no working lights.

Salamon: "Couldn't have picked somewhere with lights?"

Azuma: "Not needed. Except for...how're the wounds? Your arms aren't sore or anything, are they? Aroma wasn't around to ask her to take a look at them."

Hitomi: "They feel all right."

"That's awesome."

*She walks forward & puts her arms around Taiyo's shoulders. She leans her head forward, staring into her eyes contentedly.*

"I want you to know that I'm yours. You want my love? You have it. You have anything that you want me to give."

*She looks away from Taiyo.*

"But, ah...not right this second. We should probably find Aroma, I kinda forgot that she was following me."
=========================
"Euryale went off in that direction--"

*He points.*

"Aroma was following her, Dorumon went with them, & Taiyo went to track her down. As for anyone else, I don't know."

<I see.>

*Eve looks away from him and down at the ground. Meanwhile, Cameorn and Kylie enter the house next to Hitomi's and Azuma's*

Not expecting such a response, Taiyo reels back a bit.

Taiyo: "W...wow."

She then looks around.

Taiyo: "Aroma was with you?"

===================================

The door is also unlocked and they have lights if anyone bothers to try them. As for anything else, is as good a guess as anyone's.

===================================

By the light of Azuma's lighter, he looks about for something that's make an adequate light source, but it's a pretty dull house that his best bet is to probably set the curtains and by extension the whole house on fire.

===================================

Monzaemon: "It's times like this I wish the Soverigns didn't leave. We'd at least not have to involve humans in our disputes."

Wizardmon: "This is hardly a dispute. Both our world and their's are in danger. We couldn't have relied on the Soverigns if we wanted to. They are ancient and powerful, but we must stand on our own. We must also not fully depend on the Chosen Children. There is much they can do that we cannot, but the reverse is also true."

Monzaemon: "Then what of the Olympians?"

Zarek: "Sealed away. I attempted to seek a few out and couldn't get passed the barriers in place. Might not be able to find a solution to the big problem, but I might be able to find one to the File Island problem. If you'll excuse me, I have a trip to Mt. Infinity to make."

Wizardmon: "And what of the Chosen Children?"

Zarek: "Ogremon should be back to guide them through Native Forest."

With that he opens up a portal and leaves.

*Roatha scratches his head.*
=======================
"Yeah, sorta. Judging from her faltering pace, I think she didn't want to be alone, but didn't want to seem like she was stalking me."

*She disentangles from Taiyo, but leaves one arm around her. She puts her other hand above her brow & peers about for any sign of her.*

*Kylie goes over to check the lights*
===
*Eve coughs*

Terriermon:<Awkward silence time...>

While Taiyo looks at her Digivice because that'd be quicker and easier and sees Aroma's signal is a block over.

===================================

On that street, Aroma is lost amongst rows of houses, the faint light making the houses look like big scary monsters.

===================================

As stated, they have lights which Azuma and Hitomi can see through a window of their lightless hole.

Salamon: "They have light."

Azuma: "Are you afraid of the dark or something?"

Salamon: "No. I'm afraid of not be able to see what's in front of me."

*Aroma hugs Lalamon tightly & starts to tear up. Lalamon looks up.*

<Do you want me to light the way with my Sunshine Beam?>

"Could you? Please?"
===========================
*Euryale follows Taiyo.*

*Lunamon looks around for blankets or something*
===
Terriermon:<So...wanna go break into houses?>

Following the signal eventually becomes unessecary as a retarded plant is likely putting on a light shlw for all the world to see.

Taiyo: "That might be her."

===================================

Not hard as the place looks like its inhabitants left in a hurry, taking little if anything with them.

===================================

Azuma eventually finds a scant sized candle. Hitomi removes his jacket revealing dried blood smeared all over her arms.

Azuma: "Well...could be better."

"Sure, why not? Dorumon's apparently going to spend the night with Taiyurle."
=======================
<SUNSHINE BEAM!>

"...Yep. At least she has the good sense to aim high."

*They follow the random blasts of light, I assume.*

Terriermon:<Well, let's not waste time!>

*Eve, presuming Roatha will follow, heads off looking for a good house to break into*
===
*Lunamon gathers blankets, while Cameron walks though the house to see if there's any beds around*

Renamon jumls down from the rooftops as some retarded plant is putting on a light show right below her.

Taiyo: "Hi, Aroma."

===================================

There is a single heart-shaped bed in the one bedroom.

===================================

After some staggering about, they find the bathroom where Hitomi washes the blood off herself.

All that's left is the lone, unexciting bedroom featuring a regular bed that isn't in any elaborate shape.

Azuma: "I'll uh...take the floor?"

Hitomi: "It does not matter."

===================================

They have a whole towns worth of houses to pick from, but the current trend is to be next door to the other couples.

*Cameron heads back to where the others are*

Cameron:<This place is starting to scare me.>

Kylie:<Why?>

Lunamon:<Can we take the bed?>

<Sure.>

*Kylie and Lunamon grab a bunch of blankets, then head to the bedroom to try and make the really oddly shaped bed*
===
*Eve heads up to the house next to the one the Sorenson siblings are in*

"I don't know, how 'bout that one?"

*He points to one.*
======================
*Aroma breathes a sigh of relief when Taiyurle walks in, then jumps a bit at Renamon. Sunflowmon floats down.*

A"Um...hello."

L<...Hi.>

Taiyo: "You got lost, I guess?"

===================================

As the two settle into their designated spots, except Patamon who resolved to sleep on the bed, Hitomi removes her shoes and sets her glasses on the headboard.

As she begins to drift off to sleep an [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] flickers in her mind.

===================================

The houses are identical except one is yellow, the other is green. Assuming Eve tries the door to the one she chose, she fimds it is locked.

Eve:<I guess someone's still living here.>

*Eve tries the one Roatha pointed out*
===
*Kylie and Lunamon quickly fall asleep on the bed, while Cameron and Biyomon find a couch to pass out on*

*Roatha tries his door.*
========================
A"Um...yes...sorry...."

*Sunflowmon reverts & floats over to her, grabbing on to her shoulder.*

Taiyo: "I guess we should find somewhere to sleep."

===================================

It opens up to a fairly shitty looking living room.

===================================

Zarek walks along the path up Mt. Infinity, his foot bumps something hard and jagged.

He bends down to pick up what appears to be a piece of a black gear of sorts. He tries to remember who had made of the mountain before Murmukusmon took control it, but can't seem to and instead tosses the gear piece off the side of the mountain and keeps going.

"We? Are you...inviting me?"

*She blushes.*
====================
"Good enough."

*Eve enters behind him*

<Better than a telephone booth.>

*Terriermon goes off in search of bedrooms*

Taiyo shrugs.

Taiyo: "Better than being alone. And we're already together."

===================================

It's upstairs. A plain ol' bedroom with a bed and nightstand. As if either everyone lived alone or I have other intentions.

"Oh...thank you!"

*She unexpectedly hugs Taiyo.*

Taiyo is taken back a bit, not expecting to be hugged suddenly for the second time in such a short timespan. But she still hugs Aroma back.

Taiyo: "Umm, what are we going to do about a place to sleep?"
