Dual World Daybreak

Cameron:<I'm glad you like it. Remembering the good times is what lets me sleep at night.>

*He leans back, staring off into space for a moment*

Cameron:<Do you remember the first time we fought together? You completely chewed Biyomon out for trying to absorb some enemy data. I...I was really impressed by how passionate you were.>
===
Lunamon:<Maybe he just doesn't want to be friends?>

*Euryale shrugs. The digital incarnations of herself & her closest friends are building an extension to combine the newly conquered home with their own.*

E"His loss. So, after they're done doing whatever it is they're doing in there, you want to visit the Digital World?"
=============================
Th"Yes, but I was also very naive. To think that I earnestly believed we could settle any dispute peacefully...in retrospect, it is so obviously absurd."

Cameron:<We were all naive, but that's to be expected. We were just a bunch of kids before this. But anyway, you really positively influenced the whole gang. I think that's an accomplishment worth celebrating.>

*He rubs the back of his neck*

Cameron:<DemiDevimon did the same. It's easy to assume that some Digimon are good and some are evil just from looking at them, but DemiDevimon had the heart of a lion. We probably wouldn't have rescued our parents without her.>
===
Lyra:<I'm game.>

Kylie:<Same here!>

Taiyo: "Okay."

Azuma: "Don't see why not."

Hitomi: "Yes."

Hitomi is probably the most excited of the bunch as it means seeing Calamon.

*Thiera turns around, leaning against the end table.*

Th"I could say the same to you. With your help, I should be able to learn computer programming before going on to medical school. With a combination of both, I think it may be possible to heal Digimon that are seemingly permanently corrupted--such as those who sustained wounds from Huanglongmon."
================================
E"That's great! I don't know about you, but I've only seen a few of the places we visited, during exposure therapy. The Village of Beginnings is looking great. Mastemon is always trying to get me to visit, but I think she just wants to talk politics. Mostly, we see a lot of the Mermaimon. It's very awkward."

*She looks at Taiyo, while Gomamon cocks his head.*

G<Why would you visit them?>

A<Their empire grew a lot from the deal we made with them, & now they run a ferry to different parts of the Digital World.>

Ts"At least they're no longer pirates, right?"

*She shrugs, but Agumon shakes his head.*

A<No, they still do that, this is more of a side job.>

Taiyo sure doesn't look excited about the idea of the Mermaimon. Even worse is they're apparently imperialists as well.

Lunamon:<You should see Olympia! Except...we had to deal with a raging giant today, so there's some clean up to do.>

Lyra:<Omnimon was induced into the Royal Knights today. I'm sure they would love to meet you all.>
===
*Cameron turns slightly pink, then laughs and rubs the back of his neck again*

Cameron:<You're too kind. I'd love to teach you how to program. To be honest, I've been trying not to bother you too much lately. I didn't want to push you while you recovered.>

E"No offense, but I don't think anyone really wants to visit Chateau Drasil."

Ts"You were attacked by a giant...why?"

G<Y'see what we're missing out on?!>

*Done with the game, Agumon gets up to shut it off.*
==============================
*Thiera's eyes get all shifty.*

Th"Frankly, you could teach Euryale a lesson or 2. I know she only tries to help, and I am very grateful for that, but sometimes she is just so overbearing."

*She looks back in the direction of the living room.*

Th"I do hope that Renamon can't overhear us."

*Lyra looks equal parts embarrassed and put out*

Lunamon:<It was an old enemy of the Olympus XII. Don't worry, we took it down before he could do too much damage!>

*Lunamon jumps up into the air, punching the air before falling back into Kylie's lap, giggling uncontrollably*
===
Cameron:<Renamon doesn't seem like the type to gossip, so we should be fine. But, yeah, I know how my parents have been lately, and I didn't want to add any more stress. Especially with college starting and everything. So...are you feeling up to doing "fun" activities now?>

Renamon and likely Salamon can hear them, but as Renamon is a polite dogger while Salamon plain ol' doesn't care, they don't blurt out anything.

Seeing a great opportunity, Taiyo slides off the couch and makes her way to Euryale, maybe expecting to be petted in the process.

*Thiera looks back at him.*

Th"In general, or do you have something specific in mind?"
============================
*Agumon looks quizzically at Lyra while drinking his tea.*

A<I don't know why you're surprised. Maybe this Omnimon is swell, but Drasil was a jerk & a lot of the knights aren't much better. Doesn't Leopardmon still hate you?>

E"I guess it's too much to ask for the Digital World to be at peace after all this time. With Kurata gone, there's plenty of territory up for grabs, the United Army probably split up to fight over it, and I don't even know what the Sovereign are doing. Hopefully the Olympiads, Royal Knights, & Leomon Corps are at least keeping it all contained."

Ts"Yet Gomamon still wonders why I haven't been taking him there."

*Lyra shrugs and looks away, eyes downcast*

Kylie:<We're certainly doing our best to keep it all contained.>
===
*Cameron shrugs, looking way for a moment, then back to Thiera*

Cameron:<A...little of both? I'd love to hang out with you sometime, you know, when the world isn't about to be destroyed.>

*He laughs awkwardly*

Euryale seems to be ignoring Taiyo which I bet would be hard to do, but she did it and is worse off for it.

OOC: Alternately, it was never made clear exactly what Taiyo was doing.

*Thiera squints in confusion.*

Th"Is that...not what we're doing presently...?"
============================
E"Hitomi, Azuma, you've both been pretty quiet--what have you been up to?"

Cameron:<I meant just the two of us. I mean, hanging out with a big group is fun and all, but stuff can get a little wild sometimes. Maybe we could catch a movie or something?>

*He smiles at Thiera*

Azuma: "Hypnos things, adjusting to not expecting to be attacked without warning."

Th"Oh--well--that sounds nice. Okay. Sure."

*She nods.*
=======================
*Euryale frowns.*

E"Has it been going well?"

A<What are they doing in there?>

Hitomi: "Well enough."

Azuma: "No cakewalk, that's for sure."

Taiyo slides onto Euryale's lap, unknowingly being a real hero by saving Azuma and Hitomi from potential hugs.

*Cameron grins broadly*

Cameron:<Awesome! I'll text you about times and stuff.>

*He looks back towards the others*

Cameron:<Oops, we've been long for quite a while. We better head back.>

Th"You're probably right."

*They return to see Taiyo on Euryale's lap, who is supporting her with 1 arm as she leans forward & holds out the other arm, motioning for Hitomi & Azuma to come closer.*

*Cameron looks from Euryale to Azuma/Hitomi*

Cameron:<Uh...>

This is where Renamon would blurt out what they were doing, but they lack paw pads, so their overly long conversation is meaningless. Salamon also lacks paw pads, but still doesn't care.

The two put their drinks down on the chair with their partners who promptly take the drinks like jerks, totally weirded out by what is happening.

*Because Harley still doesn't grasp the concept of describing motion, I assume they're just standing around awkwardly while Euryale awkwardly lowers their arm & they made everything awkward.*

E"Hey. We suggested going to the Digital World after you were done--"

A<What the heck were you doing?>

E"Agumon, shush. Anyway, does that sound good?"

Even though it makes no sense that they'd stand up and not go over, but implicit motions are too subtle for some people to grasp.

Taiyo: "Ready when you are."

Cameron:<Well, I'm ready. What about you, Thiera?>
