Cast of Characters:	782, Leyanne Mace, Gaonoir, 930

---

Golden (782) has posed:
    The Danger Zone Brawl and Grill is a largish building, made of brick and mortar in the style of a 1900s meat-processing plant; large and industrial looking. The Danger Zone's food is so-so; meat, potatoes, burgers, fries, all that sort of thing. They basically serve comfort food from various major Multiversal cultures that, while better than average, is not terribly memorable.
    What the Danger Zone Brawl and Grill is known for is their shows, consisting of live brawls between various combatants. Everything is safe though, as it utilizes sophisticated simulation room technology to ensure the safety of the participants and the audiences. Today's card includes a multi-way brawl between four beings! Their companions get a free meal out of the deal, so it can't be all bad, right?

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace cruises up to the Danger Zone on one of her personal bikes. It's an odd machine, clearly designed for carrying a heavy weight a long distance across variable terrain. From the sounds it's making, the machine is powered by some kind of gas turbine, and those who are observant will note it's got space to mount a large cannon on each side, though the guns aren't fitted right now. The machine is deep red and black, with black-and-white chequered detailing, and quite heavily armoured, for a motorcycle.
After parking the vehicle, the mouse pulls off her helmet and spends a few moments adjusting her beret and pulling her hair out of its bun, before turning to the bar and striding boldly through the door.
Cracking her forehead on the top of the frame on the way through.

Gaonoir has posed:
Bikes, trucks, hovercars... is that an -electric scooter- parked outside even? It certainly was, due to a certain someone that still hasn't been able to get an actual driver's liscense because she's too easily distracted.

Food is for energy and helping recover after a battle. Gaonoir could never quite understand why humans have such an obsession with how elaborate something tastes. Not that he doesn't enjoy the better quality meals, he just doesn't see why it's such a big deal.

Oh well. This place could be good for Tamers to practice being Tamers without getting in middle of a real battle. "Hopefully this ain't one of those places that just throws a bunch of chumps at you for a cheap thrill."

Erika rolls her eyes a bit at the objection. "Let's not get carried away from the start."

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden enjoyed exploring the multiverse, meeting new people, and well, seeing interesting places!. When he heard of this 'Danger Zone' place, it seemed perfect!, and made sure to get Katze to come around as well, perhaps she can record anything interesting to rewatch later!. He lacks a proper vehicle, but he does not mind, simply going around by foot, or by paw, depending on the person. He actually was in his larger, quadrupedal for for most of the journey, never hurts to stretch his legs a bit!.
     He seems to come in time to see a massive rodent park a bike, and head inside, a very familiar one!. He was about to greet, when he sees the... incident, whimpering, while Katze lets out a soft snort. "Now, that's not funny." the digimon tells the Shinki, approaching his fuzzy friend while wagging his tail. "Tiny!" he tries. He does not notice the scooter yet, for better or worse.

Golden (782) has posed:
    Ashley had expressed the desire to see the wider Multiverse outside of the world of Remnant, and given how long Golden has been knocking around the place... He figured wandering around (as usual for him) would be a good way to get used to this Digimon tamer thing. The Danger Zone was offering a free meal along with a modest pay for being a brawler, which the penniless Tamer and Digimon would happily 'work' for. So Ashley gets to enjoy a hot meal, while Golden gets to practice being a Veemon in battle again. They'd walked here, naturally.
    Meanwhile, the wait staff is taking sign-ups from the diners for brawl participants, both at the front door and in the dining area proper.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace looks aroun and grins as she hears Alden, giving him a happy wave. She doesn't appear bothered by the forehead/doorframe moment, save re-adjusting her beret. She heads to the bar and gets herself a drink, then she wanders over to ne of the staff to sign-up. As it's going to be simulated, she's got the specifications of her usual armour saved on disc ready for them to upload into their computers for however they're gonna run this thing.
Once she's signed up, she wanders over to Alden, sipping on her drink. "Sup."

Gaonoir has posed:
"They want a show, I want a challenge. Don't have to 'get carried away' for that," Gaonoir replies as he hands back one of the signup sheets. And probably leaving the attendant wondering how he can even write with those boxing gloves on. "Besides, free food out of the deal. A change of pace from the galley food at the base at least."

"I suppose." Erika pauses as her digivice beeps at picking up more digimon signals, and after pulling it out to see where it's indicating turns to wave. "Hi Alden!" Pause. "... That's a really big mouse." Glances down at the screen. "And it's not showing up as a digimon..."

Gaonoir rolls his eyes. "Just because something looks weird doesn't mean it's a digimon. Stop gawking before someone thinks you're being rude."

Alden (930) has posed:
The digimon is happy to greet Tiny, and while he does not offer a hug, he happily shakes hands, if that's ok, even getting a bit of soda to drink, before deciding to join the 'brawl', hoping Katze will be fine as part of the audience!. He simply takes his D-Ark and cards with him!. He smiles to the mouse, "Going to try things as well?" he asks, before hearing the familiar voice call at him from the side.
     Alden rushes to give Erika a hug, had been a while!, and even offers a hand to shake to Gaonoir, "Glad to see you two again." he says, tail wagging furiously behind him.

Golden (782) has posed:
    Four-way brawls are the order of the day. Backstage (as it were), the organizers check the photos and brief bios written by the entrants, weeding out the less interesting volunteers. Then they all go into a hat and four are drawn. Golden. Gaonoir. Alden. 'Tiny'. For the purposes of showmanship, there isn't just a quiet announcement of this. No...
    "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES. FIGHT FANS." The master of ceremonies announces, with a chin that could kill. He's in the middle of the arena area, spotlights shining on his sharp tuxedo. "FOR OUR FIRST SHOW OF THE DAY, I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE FOLLOWING FOUR BRAWLERS."
    "'GOLDEN' GOROUBEI, COME ON DOWN." Golden looks a bit surprised that his name was called, but does dutifully make his way down to the arena area.

Gaonoir has posed:
Erika takes the hug and ruffles Alden's head in return, but the moment is short lived as they start calling out the competators. "Golden is here too?!" Well that's interesting, haven't seen him since he got that new form with his new Tamer. "This will be interesting!"

Well at least he didn't try to call him puppy or some such. Gaonoir shakes hand briefly, "Try not to get beat up too quickly," he half-jokes before heading for the arena.

"And next, GA--" Pause. "Gae.. Gah-oh?.. Guh.." The MC has a little trouble with the mixmash of cultural words that make up the name.

At least until Erika yells sounding it out. "GA-OH-NOIR!"

"Yes, thank you." Ahem. "GAONOIR!" The shadow dog just rolls his eyes a bit as he hops into the ring, and folds his arms as usual. Hmph. It's not -that- hard of a name.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace is half-way through her drink, looking at the others being called out as they're called. "All digimon so far, that's int'resting..." Tiny comments to Alden.
"And Leyanne 'Tiny' Mace... wait, they called /her/ Tiny?"
THe mouse laughs, waving as she walks to the arena area, her tail swishing behind her happily.

Alden (930) has posed:
The gabumon seems as surprised as Erika at the name, "Huh, haven't seen him since he got his tamer, hope he is adapting." he muses, tail still wagging, somehow, even faster after the ruffling!, he is too friendly sometimes!.
     The name calling gets his attention tho, when it brings Gaonoir into the list, trying not to chuckle at the mishap with the name. "Our next fighter is... Aiden!". He arghs, "Alden!" he waits a few moments, to see if someone answers the call, before he growls, "It's ALDEN, it's an L!" he mumbles.
     He smiles to Tiny, "Wish me l..." he is interrupted when they mention the name of the big mouse, cue a gulp from the fuzzy short guy. "W-well... this will be interesting.". He smiles and heads to the arena as well, nodding to his other friends.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace grin as she steps up to the arena. Her simulated armour appears around her, though it appears at the moment she's going to stick in the melee. SHe takes her spot in the arena, and waits for the others.

Gaonoir has posed:
Gaonoir tilts his head a bit, in the same way a normal dog would do when trying to sniff something. "Definatelly not a digimon. Don't smell like one." He takes a couple of steps back and settles into a boxer's stance, clenched gloved paws held up and ready in front of him. "I'd ask what you are, but there is much more interesting ways to find out about someone." More importantly, what someone can do. All they need is the signal to go....

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden is... a bit concerned, wondering if he should have cheated and pick a better form, he is not the best at close range fights like this!. Still, he tries to calm down, offering a polite bow, smiling to Tiny and Gao, looking cautiously at the others, growling a bit, trying to raise his left hand, the one covered by the 'arm' section of his pelt. He also waits for a sign, unsure how the mouse fights, but knowing Gao can and will punch him away.
     He decides to just... go for it, and oddly, charges towards Gao, blue flames igniting on his... right hand? odd. He tries a rather clumsy fire punch at the pugilist dog.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace smirks, calling out to Gaonoir. "Fourth rock from the sun." She calls out... and then when the signal is given she launches hersel at Gao, too. Her incoming punch, while not wrapepd with flame or anything fancy, does have a spinning metal and plastic fist as its impact point. Of course, she's left herself wide open to a counter from both of them.

Gaonoir has posed:
The hint doesn't really mean much to Gaonoir, but it gets Erika's eyes to light up. "Ooooh, she's a martian!" Which then goes to a look of confusion. Not that aliens being real is a strange thing in the Multiverse, but Martians just hold that one classical spot to many humans. Which is why she flips her device through some digital files. "Would of never expected martians to be rodent like..."

Gaonoir ducks out of the way of Alden's awkward punch. "At least you're trying a new trick or two--oof!" But that just gets him broadsided by Leyanne, and that mechanical arm has enough punch to knock him backwards. "Oh, so that's how it's gonna be..."

And he's smiling. Uh oh.

Gaonoir darts back into the fight, jumping to kick at Alden, and then use that to push off and launch towards the martian mouse with a mean hook punch of his own. Don't let the stout, somewhat cartoonish size difference fool you, Gaonoir packs enough literal punch to floor digimon several times his size.

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden was not expecting to do much, so he is not too surprised, "Thanks, learned that when I turned into this..." he says, smiling for a moment, before seeing that huge arm slam into his friend, wincing a bit. "I should have digivolved for this." he mumbles softly, barely able to raise his arms to try to block the kick, but still easily pushed back by the hit, grunting and falling back!.
     He picks himself, and keeps his distance a moment, watching the two more likely to be ood at close range fighting, waiting for a moment to strike.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace 's species does have a database entry. She takes the roundhouse to the jaw, slammed back - but not down. She grins, looking at Gao with a smirk. "Nice hit." SHe admits, moving in again to strike. This time she's aiming for a roundhouse kick, the heavyweight mouse attempting to return the favour.

Gaonoir has posed:
Gaonoir lands on the mat after the punch. Loosens and clenches the paw he used to punch her a few times. "And you have a hard head." It's his usual snarkiness, though it doesn't sound as if meant to insult by tone. Then cants his head a little to look at Alden. "Did they say you can't digivolve? It's a 'natural' ability for most of us after all."

This time he's expecting Leyanne to keep coming after him though, and lunges under the kick. Which leads into him somersaulting into a rolling movement that does a bit of physics defying (this is normal for Digimon) to launch himself for the martian's midsection while she's still off-balance from the kick. "ROLLING COUNTER!"

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden grins at the question, "Dunno, but it feels a bit unfair when I am not sure how strong the others are!, might be weird to go to a stronger form mid combat." he muses, "What do you think?" he asks casually, even as he approaches the pair. As soon as Gao launches that familiar attack, he charges at the dog boxer!, He tries a different, but somewhat similar move this time, jumping at his friend, horn (blunt thankfully) first, engulfed in flames!, should be quite a hit, adding his weight.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace takes the hit to her gut, folding neatly in half and being knocked back. She lands and rolls, coughing a little before she picks herself back up... OK, so that's how it is.
She waits for Gao to be distracted by Alden's attack. Then she moves in, attempting to grab Alden by the tail... and hit Gao with him. Hopefully flaming horn first.

Gaonoir has posed:
Gaonoir recoils off the impact with the larger 'Tiny', only to get plowed into by Alden before he can fully recover. Then she decides to go grabbing from the wolf-lizard and use him like a living bludgeon. Gaonoir makes a quick adjustment to his tactics and backs off a bit, hotfooting about to try and stay out of the martian+digimon reach. "Martians have a strange concept of teamwork!"

Alden (930) has posed:
There is a short lived happiness in the gabumon, when he lands the hit!. Then he is grabbed painfully by the tail and flailed around. The fire is gone since the attack was over, the poor digimon flailing, "Hey!" he growls, frantically reaching for his D-Ark, "That's my tail, it kinda huuuurts." he manages, he is not the best flail/weapon.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace smirks "Teamwork my ass, this is a three-way fight, right? Use what's at your disposal." She giggles, letting go of the smaller digimon before dancing back, looking between the two and waiting to see who goes for her first...

Gaonoir has posed:
"If that's what you really want..." Gaonoir crouchs a bit, clenchings his gloved paws. Tail twitchs a few times, arms and legs flex as if ready to lunge... Which turns out to be a bit of a misdirection, as instead he opens up his mouth and lets loose an electrified sonic blast instead! "Static HOOOOOOOOOOOWL!" The disruptive effect of his ability might not be very pleasant to sensative senses or cybernetics, either.

Alden (930) has posed:
The Gabumon lands on his belly once he was released. "Ok... guess it's all out then." he mumbles, getting up, reaching for his cards, and grabbing one. Of course he is not going ALL out, he can seriously damage the arena, and everyone in it!, but he is taking things up a notch regardless!. He grabs his D-Ark and slides the card!. "Digi modify! Super Evolution Plug-In S." He tries to strike a little pose, but even if he manages, it's quite short lived!.
     There is a bright flash of light, his form bursting into glowing voxels, before reforming into a much larger... scarier, quadruped form!, the fluffy looking wolf growling at Tiny, "Swing me by the tail now.... Augh!" he whines, covering his ears and closing his eyes a second or two from the disruptive attack, so much for trying to look intimidating.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace is diving aside in response to the tailtwitch. But the wider roar... well, that's a problem. The electrical element of the attack clearly hurts the mouse a lot more than one would expect, the rodent yelping as the induced current causes malfunctions in a few of her systems. She's kicked sideways, crumpling to the floor with a soft "...ow..." she mutters, hauling herself back to her feet.
She looks up at the bigger quadruped, smirking. "Is that a serious challenge?"

Gaonoir has posed:
"Be careful what you ask for," Gaonoir replies. He does briefly give Alden a sympathetic glance, but hey, it's still a free-for-all match. Friendly fire happens. Though he doesn't go for digivolving himself yet. Right after the other digimon did would be too predictable. What else can he do? He actually steps closer to Alden... And then disappears?!

Well it only seems so. He's actually using his shadowplay abilities to step into the larger digimon's shadow, and then step over to Leyanne's. Which he jumps out of, for lack of a better explaination, and swings both paws in a axeblow at her backside hopefully before she realizes what he actually did.

Alden (930) has posed:
The Garurumon, high enough to reach the shoulders of most average sized adults, blinks when the mouse just seems amused and makes that challenge. He growls, unable to help a bit of a smirk, knowing it's just a friendly fight, long, fluffy tail twitching, "Be warned I bite." he says, before perking his ears and jumping back when Gao swings at the mouse!. He growls loudly, "Fox fire!" he calls, a stream of bright blue flames shooting at the pair!... it seems aimed right in front of them tho, perhaps some minor splash damage.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace narrows her eyes as she spots Gao slip into the shadow. She begins to try and dodge a split second before Gao re-appears, moving herself a little bit out of the line of attack. Not enough to get out of the way entirely, but enough that the impact is diverted onto one of her thick thigh-plates. She's thrown through the flames of Alden's attack, landing on her side and sliding. She leaps to her feet after a moment. "That must've looked awesome..." she mutters with a giggle, needing to get back on the attack.
She looks between the pair thoughtfully. This.... might be a shade unfair.

Gaonoir has posed:
The dodge is also just enough to throw off Gaonoir when he hits but neither as hard or at the angle he expected. So instead of a graceful landing he hits the floor in a rough tumble. Then gets flambed by the blue flames from the wolfbeast. ".. Nice evasive move..", he murmurs afterwards, puffing out a bit of smoke from his mouth as he rolles around to put out any stray flames. Not that you can tell he's burned with how dark his fur already is.

Alden (930) has posed:
The big wolf beast twitched a bit, long tail lashing behind him, "Are you ok?" he asks, a bit concerned about burning the mouse!, he is not sure how fireproof non digimon are!. He crouches down and wriggles on his paws, waiting for Tiny to recover, before he moved ahead, focusing on the mouse this time!. He does not use fire this time, just a good, old fashioned tackle.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Macechukles, nodding. "Yeah I'm good." She comments as she stands. As he charges her the mouse steps back, aiming to uppercut him in the jaw before he can hit her. She's got no chance at range - she's not sure if she can use her gun in the simulated arena.

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden is a gentleman!... and also, not particularly smart about tactics it seems, charging ahead quickly, growling as he prepares to headbutt the tall mouse!. He gets quite in range for an uppercut.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace grins and lets fly with that wicked uppercut, a hiss of air from her elbow joint. If it connects cleanly, the punch would be enough to throw ALden back and away from her.

Alden (930) has posed:
There is a satisfyingly loud noise as the big fist hits the charging wolf, forcing him to basically flip in mid air mid jump, the charge versus the hit means the wolf does not fly too much, even if he turns midair and lands on his back with a loud thump, twitching on the ground a few moments, before slowly getting up, shaking his head, "Where is the truck that slammed against me.".

Gaonoir has posed:
"Heh. Almost as much fun just watching you two smack each other around." Once he wasn't on fire Gaonoir had rolled off to the side and just been observing the other two go at it for a bit. "Truck? You looked more like you ran headlong into a locomotive."

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace grins "Not a truck. A Mace." She laughs, looking down at her scorched armour. "Next?"

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden tries to play it cool, shaking his head, and licking his sore jaw, sitting on his haunches until the room stops spinning, "I... will let you two fight toghether a bit." he mumbles.

Gaonoir has posed:
Gaonoir ehs, shrugging his shoulders. "If she still wants rough it up a bit, fine with me. You two look like you've been smacked around pretty good already." Granted, he's not exactly top form right now either, but its that self-confidence showing more than any injury.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace is clearly up for more... even with her 'ware beat up and a few bare panels showing, and her simulated armour cracked and fractured. She gris, shrugging. "I'm jus' warming up." She comments with a grin.

Alden (930) has posed:
The digital wolf thinks he should have let figured out a way to do card things when he lacks hands, is not sure he can ask any of them to help!. He wobbles a little, growling between the two, huffing flames a bit, crouching.

Gaonoir has posed:
Gaonoir smirks. "She's got spirit, at least." Holds out an arm and makes as much of a 'bring it' gesture as he can with a boxing glove on. "Then come over here and see what you can still dish out."

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace nods guietly as she listens to Gaonoir. She's not got any flashy techniques like the Digimon; she can't throw fire, she can't step into shadows or go invisible.
What she does is hit like a train. She moves in towarsd Gaonoir, mirroring his boxing stance. As she gets closer she attempts to land a rapid series of jabs.

Gaonoir has posed:
Gaonoir smirks as Leyanne gets into a stance and moves towards him. There's a surge of energy around him not unlike when Alden digivolved, though in darker shades of purple and black. Doesn't stop Leyanne from punching at him within, but then a much larger mechanical hand reaches out of the dark corona to grab one of her final jabs. The rest of the energy fades away to reveal a more humanoid canine that's a few inches taller than her. Though also a bit less overall bulky. "You're not the only one with metal limbs." Which he demonstrates by trying to punch her with the other clenched into a large metal fist.

Alden (930) has posed:
The wolf is familiar enough with Gaonoir to see where things are going the moment he sees that odd rush of energy, and he can be seen clumsily trying to grab a card, and slide it through the D-Ark card reader, big paws are not the best at careful handling of things!.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace tries to bring her arm up to block but... well... there's a loud clang of metal on metal, as fist meets skull. She's slammed sideways and... with one of her antennae flattened by the blow. From the way she goes down, she's out of the fight.

Gaonoir has posed:
Gaonoir shakes his metal clad hand a few times afterwards. "She -still- has a hard head." Though not hard enough to avoid being knocked for a loop this time by the looks of it. "Maybe going all the way to Perfect was a bit overkill...."

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden seems to be struggling to grab a card steady and push it through the reader, "Stupid paws..." he mumbles a bit, before blinking as the duel between the two is over, "I am sure she will be fine... she hits hard." he mumbles. "Sorry for taking so long... it's kinda hard without hands." he muses in embarassment.
     He seems to get the card in his paw properly after a bit longer, and slides it!. The transformation is not unlike before, another bipedal, metal clad wolf standing in front of Gaonoir, quite a tall wolf too!. "There we go... hope my Perfect form will be enough... you are strong." he says, wagging his tail and striking a combat pose, his metal gauntlets look sharp!.

Gaonoir has posed:
Gaonoir raises a brow far enough for it to show behind his visor. "The X-Antibody has had quite an effect on your evolutions. But the extra armor is probably good for the sorts of fighting our kind tend to end up in." He rolls a shoulder, and as he can't really use his jet boosters indoors here, just charges towards Alden and heaves a hard swing with one of his massive guantlets. "One way to find out!"

Alden (930) has posed:
The big, scary wolf wags faster at what he assumes is praise, smiling, crouching a bit to prepare for the attack!. "I hope so!" he replies, trying his best not to look intimidated as the other digimon charges ahead!. He seems to prepare an attack of his own, pulling his armored hand back and curling it into a fist, "Baldy Blow!", trying to meet the incoming swing with one of his punches.

Gaonoir has posed:
That's one impressive sounding impact as metal fist slams into metal fist. ".... Please tell me that name is some sort of mistranslation." 'Baldy Blow' is rediculous even by Digimon standards of nonsensical names. "Oh, whatever!" Gaonoir yanks his fist back, only to spin into a rising roundhouse kick with one of his bionic legs instead.

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden is almost sure that he is the one getting the worst part, if how his hand stings is any sign, before letting out a chuckle, "That's... don't ask me I don't make up the names." he mumbles, before pulling back, almost mirroring the kick!. "Engetsuregi!" he calls, his lower leg and footpaw glowing with power as he tries a roundhouse kick of his own, the movement causing a crescent energy blade to form in the air!.
     The attack is interrupted as his leg meets with Gao's, causing the half formed blade to abort. It is at that time he realizes that while his paw was exposed (armor only covers up to ankle), Gaonoir's whole lower leg was... robotic.

Gaonoir has posed:
Why where they cybernetic? Supposedly the design was to prevent the effect of blood draining down the body during high-g flight maneuvers. If Digimon even have blood. Or anything similar. Probably just some high science concept that got replicated when the original MachGaogamon first came into being. That they make good weapons is just a sweet bonus.

It doesn't help Alden's case that Gaonoir has actual practice in kickboxing styles. The two kicks cancel each other out, but Gaonoir quickly adapts and with lightning reflexes he twists to actually hook his leg around Alden's ankle and yank it down, entrapping it for a moment. Just long enough to swing another massive right hook at Alden as his gauntlet starts to glow with his dark energy. "KNUCKLE CRUSHER!"

Alden (930) has posed:
The Weregarurumon's paw was unprotected, slamming into the cybernetic leg... that was painful, letting out a loud whine, and stunning him with more than enough time to be pinned nad held by that leg. He tries to do something, mumbling as he starts to inhale, "Gla..." of course, he does not get to finish that sentence, he had already taken a hard strong hit to his jaw.
     He was no 'tank', the hit on his chest forcing his jaws close, mumbling as blue mist escaping between his fangs, the hit causing him to be sent flying back!. He tries to look cool about it, slowly getting up, wobbling on his feet as he tries to raise his hands up, before his form shimmers, and explodes, returning back to his Gabumon form, which promptly falls down on his face. "Oww...".

Gaonoir has posed:
Gaonoir waves away some of the frosty mist that escaped Alden's lips as he was slugged. "Heh. Not too bad. Just need more practice to get familiar with that form. But you'll ge--ack!" He's interrupted by Erika running into the arena to hug him. Uses one hand to very gently try to push her away again. "Gah, not in public!"

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden is not getting up soon, sore hand, sore leg, and his chest hurts a lot. The fact that the one person rushing to help him seems to be a tiny catgirl that simply stomps next to him and nudges his face with a foot, does not help his image, "Oh come on, was just a punch!" she says, "You can take a punch!, you are making me look bad!".
     Alden mumbles something, only to let out a louder 'ow' when the Maochao nudges his shoulder nad leg, "Come on, get up, please?". The Gabumon shifts a bit, "I just need a moment..." then looks back at Gao, "Sorry I was not much of a challenge, you are really, really strong, Think i'd need my Ultimate form to give a fight... and only from away." he chuckles a bit, "But it was fun, I do need more practice."

Gaonoir has posed:
Gaonoir snickers a little at Katze. "It was a pretty big punch. And was hardly the first hit he took, don't be too hard on him." Gaonoir gives Alden a helping hand up before devolving back to his own base form. "Eh, don't let me discourage you. I have a lot of experience and training, remember."

Alden (930) has posed:
The Gabumon takes the paw after a moment, slowly rising on his feet, "We should spar and practice more, I'd really like that." he says, smiling as much as he would, sore jaw. "If you are up to it." he adds. Katze nods a bit, "I guess that's true, I can give him that." she says softly, before moving to perch on Erika's shoulder, "Hi."

Gaonoir has posed:
Erika pats Katze lightly on the head. "Plus in a real fight he'd have you to help him with those cards." Though she's glad she doesn't have to worry about keeping something like that straight. Knowing how easily she can get distracted as it is.

"Yeah, I suppose." Gaonoir stretchs, then folds his paws behind his head. "Now about that free meal we're suppose to get for fighting? That burned a lot of energy!"

"And I wanna talk to the martian!" Gaonoir rolls his eyes. "Of course you do..."

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden joins Gao and Erika, chuckling somewhat at her desire to talk with Tiny, "She is rather pleasant." he mentions, stretching a bit and wincing, "I would use a meal too, hope the food is good." he muses. Katze nods a bit at the talk of the cards, "It's a mess." she says gravely, nodding, before blinking, "Martian?"

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace comes stepping out of the bathroom, having gotten herself cleaned up after the fight. She swishes her tail as she wanders over to Alden, happily. "Hey"

Alden (930) has posed:
The Gabumon was sitting on a small table, with the Shinki right next to him, sipping a soda, when he hears Tiny approach!. He smiles and turns around, waving happily, his own tail wagging, "Hey Tiny."

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace smiles as she sits down. "Hey Alen, sup." SHe smiles

Alden (930) has posed:
The fuzzy digimon looks back at the mouse for a moment, "Are you ok?" he asks, "That seemed a bad hit." he mumbles softly, "Trust me, I know how hard he hits...". Katze pipes up, walking over the table, "I have a video!" she says cheerily.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace nods "Oh yeah I'm good my friend. I've taken bigger hits than that, it just jarred one of my processors loose. Had to re-seat it before I could come out"

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden tilts his head in confusion, "Wait, processors?" he asks, intrigued, "Your arm was not working right?" he asks softly, before offering her some fries.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace nods "Yeah but I'm..." She motions "It's more than the arm and the eye. I got... slightly blown up." SHe laughs, taking some chips and munching awa.

Alden (930) has posed:
The digimon tilts his head, he shudders at the mention of such a thing, "Wow... you should... warn us next time... I don't think any of us might have enjoyed learning we broke something too important."

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace laughs and shakes her head "Nah it's all plug-and-play, and all the critical stuff is pretty hardened. But it's pretty easy to knock loose all the connections between everything... well, comparatively, anyway. You guys hit as hard as I do."

Alden (930) has posed:
The digimon simply tilts his head to the other side, still considering the implication of things... "It still sounds dangerous."

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace shrugs "Yeah but so's most of the fun shit in life." She laughs, ordering herself some food. "At least, most of the stuff I find fun. Maybe that's because I'm... well, I know I bounce. I've... been dead, they rebuilt me. Won't be that hard to do it again."

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden nods a bit, "I guess that makes sense, but you should have warned us at least." he says, "I'd say it's better to be careful even if oyu think you can be rebuilt." he says, before shaking his head, "I am glad you are fine."

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace shrugs "If I was being careful I wouldn't have any fun." She shrugs. "Thank you. Trust me, I've had worse"

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden finally nods, his tail twitching, "Guess, i am not used to the idea of being just... reconstructed, not something that happens back home." he says with a grin.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace chuckles. "I think being blown up gave me a... different perspective on life, y'know? It's the job of folks who're augmented to help others. I do that... and as a bonus I get to do crazy stuff with cool people. And I get to see a multiverse."

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden nods and smiles, chewing on his burger a bit more, "Now that I can relate to somewhat, had a... bad experience." he muses, "IF you are really up to meeting and fighting odd things, you can come and visit me at home, I am sure we can find something fun." he says with a chuckle. "And of course, I can relate with the idea of wanting to help, and adventure."

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace nods "I'd love to come see your world. I mean shit, five years ago it was about saving Mars. Now... now there's thousands of Marses and other worlds that need savin'."

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden nods in return, sitting a bit closer, while the Shinkie moves closer to the mouse, climbing down the table to poke at the tail, "Are you really a mouse?". The digimon smiles, "Seems you have a history of being a hero."

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace chuckles "Man, I'm just one of many. If there's any of us responsible for saving Mars it's General Stoker, and Vinnie, Modo and Throttle. They did all the work on Earth... those of us back home just made sure there was a planet left for 'em to save"

Alden (930) has posed:
The shinki seems to manage to grab a hold of the tail, harmlessly 'tugging' for a moment, playing with it, while Alden nodded, "Good to know things worked out back then." he says, "Sounds like it was quite an adventure."

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace nods "It was quite a ride. We've not quite got all of Mars free but... well we're getting there. We've got our foothold." She smiles, tugging back with her tail.

Alden (930) has posed:
Alden finally notices what is happening under the table, "Katze!" he protests, "Sorry, she... is a bit silly." he says softly, rubbing the back of his head, "Let me know if you need a hand." he says.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace peers at what's tugging on her tail curiously "Hi..." she giggles, tilting her head

Alden (930) has posed:
The Shinki keeps holding onto the tail, even as it tugs back, likely lifting her with ease, "Hi!" she says happily. The small machine, looking like a little girl with cat ears and a tail, smiling brightly in return.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace blinks at the shinki, grinning. "She might be silly but she's cute." She grins.

Leyanne Mace has posed:
Leyanne Mace yawns "I'm afraid I got to get back and sleep." She admits. "I'm staying at a campsite not far away and they close the gate in about an hour."

Alden (930) has posed:
The Shinki lets go of the mouse's tail and climbs back to Alden's side, waving back to her, while Alden nods, "Take care!"
