Old Ones Return (V)

So Taiyo goes over to the pillar.

Taiyo: "Um, what are you doing?"

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

Seeing their partner being attacked by a bat, Monodramon goes barreling over ready to hook DemiDevimon in the gabber while Hideki takes a swing at DemiDevimon.

*They are separated by ice walls that suddenly appear, as if blasted from the sky. IceLeomon jumps off of the tree branch that he was hanging on. He then proceeds to march up close & personal & roar right in each of their faces.*

IL<What part of the rule "no fighting" was too hard for you to understand?!>

*DemiDevimon plugs her ears up with her claws.*

D<...Your breath smells like kitty litter.>
=================================
E"It's creeping me out, does that count as something?"

*It hangs upside down by its tail & opens its mouth wide in her face.*

<...Hi! I'm Sunflowmon!>

T"Uh-oh, now they're in trouble with IceLeomon."

Taiyo: "I'm Taiyo."

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

Hideki goes to stand behind Monodramon, removing the straw from his neck.

Monodramon: "It attacked my partner. I will not stand by and let that happen."

Cameron:<Come on, it's kinda cute.>

<...Hi! I'm Sunflowmon!>

Datamon<It has learned less than 1% of your language, or any language, for that matter. It most likely seeks camaraderie for recreational activities.>
======================
D<I poked him with a straw.>

IL<All of you stop it. You know you're not allowed to fight.>

*He shakes his finger at them all.*

Taiyo: "So it doesn't really know what we're saying?"

Cameron:<"Recreational activities?">

*He grins broadly*

Datamon<It most likely recognizes that a reciprocation of its greeting & presentation of a label occurred, but cannot sort the individual data meaningfully. Also, no, Digimon do not perform the implied reproductive functions.>

E"I bet you're a riot at parties."

*Thiera sighs.*

T"I don't mean to be rude, but can somebody just play with the flower so that we can--"

Sunflowmon<PLAY!>

*Sunflowmon swings & uncurls its tail, jumping on Taiyo with what might be a hug.*
=============================
D<Fine. I'll just go see what Thiera's doing. I never thought I'd say this, but she has a better sense of humor than any of you.>

*DemiDevimon flies off.*

Not expecting to be pounced on by a giant flower, Taiyo shrieks.

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

Hideki: "You crossed the river."

Monodramon: "You were in danger."

*Cameron jumps back in shock*

<You ok in there, Taiyo?!>

*Having tackled Taiyo to the ground in what might be a hug, Sunflowmon licks her face while wagging its tail. Euryale grabs its shoulder & about knees it in the face, but stops before making contact & sighs. Instead, she pats it on the head.*

E"...Get off of my girlfriend--please."

*Sunflowmon licks Euryale's arm, but otherwise goes back to what it was doing.*

Datamon<...I suppose that is within acceptable parameters.>
==========================
IL<Congratulations. I'll leave you 2 alone. But it would be for the best if everyone could meet at the main temple in about 10 minutes.>

Cameron:<"Acceptable?">

Taiyo: "Um, please get off of me?"

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

So they begin to make their way to the temple.

*It just keeps licking her.*

E"How do we get it off of her?!"

Datamon<You could attempt to entice Sunflowmon into a pursuit, & conceivably evade it in the lush vegetation.>

D<Haha, what are you losers doing?>

*DemiDevimon sits on the ground, because trying to perch on something with the giggles isn't going to work.*

T"Oh, I know, DemiDevimon could hypnotize it!"

D<Heehee...Nah, better listen to him. Heh. He's the expert.>
========================================
*Tsune arrives soon after, Gomamon riding on her back.*

Ts"I was told by the big blue kitty to come here?"

Taiyo: "It's weird when Euryale's not doing the licking."

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

Hideki: "Likewise."

*Kylie, Lyra, and their partners, and Biyomon all show up at the temple as well*
===
*Cameron's eyes widen at that*

T"DemiDevimon....

D<Fine....>

*She lands at Taiyo's head & flaps her wings to get the Sunflowmon's attention.*

D<Hehehahahaha! Ohhh...I'm sorry, I'm sorry.... Venusmon wants to see you immediately.>

*So it jumps off of Taiyo & flies off elsewhere.*

Taiyo: "Thanks, Batty."

Taiyo sits up and wipes her face off.

Cameron:<So, what now?>

T"Well, DemiDevimon's here, so we can contact Mr. Yamaki now."

D<Why would we want to do that?>

*Euryale knocks on the door to the changing room. Datamon comes over, pressing a wire-finger into the port of Thiera's D-Power. IceLeomon emerges from the bushes.*

E"Hey, sorry to interrupt, but do you have a towel that you can spare? Taiyo got licked by a Sunflowmon!"

IL<Excuse me, but I need you all to come to the main temple. If you could do--whatever this is while we're all together, it would be appreciated.>
=========================================
*Agumon is the next to join them.*

A<Hey. IceLeomon told me we're having a meeting?>

Azuma opens the door and looks about.

Azuma: "It's gone? Just a couple of damp ones."

*Cameron goes to get a dry towel from the room he used*

<Here.>
===
Lunamon:<I guess so.>

E"Yes, DemiDevimon hypnotized it.... Were you hiding from a sunflower?"

*Cameron snuffles a laugh at that*

Azuma: "I'd prefer to not get licked by a giant plant."

Taiyo takes the towel.

Taiyo: "Thank you."
