Danger In The Caves, A New Evolution Rises (OPEN)

Post by Amsel on Nov 2, 2017 4:39:01 GMT
Well this was certainly not turning out like Amsel had pictured it, she shivered from the cold filtering with in the caves. Dorumon was in front of her, sniffing the floor in front of them as they moved deeper into the cave, he would throw concerned glances back at his partner. Dorumon knew that humans couldn't last long in extreme climates, Amsel had explained why they couldnt survive in extremely cold or hot temperatures. Amsel had on a very thick coat complete with mittens baggy warm pants and snow boots, the pants and boots were black and the coat was a light blue with white fluff around the hood. Even with all her warm layers of protection dorumon could still see her shivering, he himself had a snow vest, it was a light purple and much like his partner the hood had white fluff around it. Dorumon was already covered in fur plus the vest helped him keep nice a toasty more then he would usually if he only had his fur to protect him from the cold.
The reason they were wondering around in a cave system in the first place started off quiet innocently, Amsel wanted to play in the snow, but she couldn't in the real world because well it wasn't winter yet. Then when dorumon had signed that he didnt know what snow was and why was it fun to play in, Amsel had freaked out and declared that she was going to show doru what snow was and how much fun it was to play with. So they packed their bags and had set off to the digital world in search of snow, Amsel had made sure to tell her parents a believable lie. Once they had arrived in the digital world they had to take multiple trailmons in order to have reached their destination, it was fun at first, dorumon got to see snow for the first time and Amsel had shown him how fun snow could be. However after a while they started to notice that snow was falling from the sky, it was pretty to watch at first but then the winds started to get stronger and the snow was falling faster. It was then that Amsel had told him that this certain occurrence was called a snow storm and that they needed to find shelter fast, dorumon had held on to his partners hand so they wouldn't lose each other in the storm. Thats when he had spotted the entrance of the cave, deciding that it was a good place for shelter he had led his tamer into it, they moved deeper in the cave in order to get as far from the cold winds out side.
That's how they ended up here, even though they had a not very positive situation at the moment Amsel still seemed to be her positive self. She would aw at the ice covered cave with big shinning eyes as they walked, all dorumon hoped at the moment was that nothing to drastic happened now, then again their luck never seemed to pan out.

Well... that could have gone a bit more smoothly.
Owen the MachGaogamon had been flying across the freezing tundra of the North in search of this fabled "Shining Lake". He had heard about it from travelers and had decided to attempt to locate it from the sky. His jetpack ablaze, he had searched, but failed in the vastness of the region.
Worse, it seemed a snowstorm had picked up around him. While he was a pretty tough Ultimate level, well, it seemed mother nature had a dispute of that and badly knocked him around the sky with turbulent winds that threatened to send him crashing down below and be frozen. While his fur kept him warm, even it was being challenged to stave off the cold.
And so Owen was forced to land (upside down, buried to his shoulders in a snowdrift) before righting himself and looking at his surroundings. He was near the mountains, so that was a relief, they could block the wind. Still though, a cavern would be needed to protect from the chill.
Then, his evolution was prematurely ended from loss of energy. Owen glowed, then de-digivolved to his Gaomon form. Owen then felt the cold even worse. While his blue and white fur was thick, all he was wearing was a brown T-shirt, his red scarf and his boxing gloves. He needed to find shelter, and fast. And thus he was brought to a cave, which was still rather chilly, but at the least took wind chill out of the way. And so, here, Owen sat by the entrance. He hoped to make a fire, but he had no means of doing so. So it seemed he would just have to do his best.
He was relieved at hearing footsteps and movement though. He looked up and saw a heavily dressed human and a Dorumon nearby. At first he thought it was his beloved Hikaru, but this one's scent was different. It was simply a Dorumon he'd never met before. Supposing he'd best be polite, he stood up and approached them.
"Hi there" he said. "Bit of a nippy day out there isn't it?" he gave an awkward smile and scratched the back of his head.

Why had she come up so far to the northern prominince?
Well there was no real reason that she could have for coming back up here other than to perhaps blow off some steam. She knew for certainty that her parents wouldn't be around anymore; as it had been so long that they would of been long digitized. Even perhaps on a separate cycle apart from one another.
How long ago had she been up here? Or how long did her memories, false or not told her the time difference. It made the shutmon set her jaw and pull her goggles down over her eyes to block out the wind that decided to pick up.
The winds led into what amounted to snow; fierce in it's onset and just as sudden as her memories led her to believe. She'd trudge through the snow not really seeing the sense in trying to fly in this weather. If she was unlucky it'd toss the ultimate level digimon around like a youngling. Which could lead to some very nasty occurrences.
It didn't take too much longer before she found what looked like to be a yawning mouth of a cave. The snow piling in around it and the faint thought that it might not be a good idea to go in. She'd rub her chin thoughtfully for a few moments before trudging into the cave itself.
A few moments later she found what amounted to some tracks from.. A smaller digimon? What on earth could someone be doing out this far? Other than living of course? Shaking her head she'd move into the cave proper, ducking under some stalactites of ice that threatened to bean her in the head if she wasn't careful.
The shutmon paused and flicked both ears forward as not only did she hear a voice, it was going the same way the footprints were! Shrugging to herself she'd move closer; eventually coming up behind Owen and noting the group of individuals in front of her. She'd blink a few times and rub the back of her neck; a frown spreading across her lips.
"Forced to take shelter too I presume?"

Dorumon had been so preoccupied with watching his tamer that he had let his guard down, he didn't notice the other Digimon until Owen spoke up. The X antibody holder jumped his fluffy tail standing on end and wide eyes flicked over to the other rookie level Digimon. It was then that another Digimon had joined them, appearing from behind Owen. From the sound of her voice, she was clearly a female. They didn't look hostile, but Dorumon couldn't help but stay in front of his tamer protectively and waved silently, he had planned to observe the two further. What he didn't plan on was for his tamer...........he should have seen this coming, as soon as Amsel had heard new voices she had looked over her partner's shoulder and gasped. Her eyes widened as stars seem to appear in them.
There were two new Digimon and they both looked so cool! Amsel wasted no time and ran up to the two Digimon, she ran around each of them asking questions a mile a minute. Dorumon watched his tamer with shock, he still couldn't get over the fact that his tamer seemed to approach any Digimon without fear. Dorumon facepalmed, he shouldn't be standing here!, his tamer had just approached two Digimon, he should be over there! not standing and staring. Quickly ru-ru ran over to his tamer and tried to stop his tamer from annoying them, he tried to get her to step back at least to get her out of their personal space. That kinda backfired on him, his partner somehow knew what he had planned to do and put an arm around his shoulders in a tight half hug, he struggled to free himself from her strong grip.
With a large grin on her, face Amsel introduced herself and her partner"HI!, my names Amsel and this is my partner Ru-Ru!, yeah the storm outside was strong so we had to hide here!" Dorumon sighed and went limp, he had accepted his fate.

Owen jumped as he heard a voice behind him and turned to find a rather startling looking digimon. She looked a little similar to his own Ultimate form of MachGaogamon, but with different weaponry and a less muscular appearance, at least he thought.
Still though, she wasn't acting aggressively, so Owen didn't really react with more fear than the initial shock. "Ah, yes, that's right" he answered her. He noted he hadn't detected her in the area. This must be quite an experienced digimon to hide herself like that. Or maybe Owen simply couldn't smell that well when his nose was this cold? Sometimes he wished he grew fur there too.
The human then reacted by approaching, which seemed to make her partner upset, but she hugged him in response. Owen couldn't help but chuckle a little. She introduced herself as Amsel and her partner was Ru-Ru.
"Hiya, I'm Owen" he replied, giving a smile. However, it seemed that this human seemed... unusually chipper? Maybe she was just relieved to be out of the cold?
Well then. Given that the four of them seemed to be stuck in the cave, maybe they should get to know each other a little better? Owen began by explaining the reason he was here. "I'm an explorer of sorts. I was flying around the place looking for a new area called the Shining Sea - a dried up inland sea that's full of mysterious crystals, but the snowstorm brought me down here".
He was curious about the others' stories as to why they were here in this icy cavern in the middle of nowhere. Ah well. Without the wind blowing the warmth from him, Owen's thick fur was bringing his temperature up to normal, and the Gaomon was growing considerably more comfortable in this setting.

From what K could tell the Dorumon was fairly on guard; and had much of a right to be. After all she had appeared out of now where... But that didn't seem to bother the tamer all too much. One of her questions was easily answered as she ran around both of them after getting what amounted to stars in her eyes. The barrage of questions wasn't really a surprise; but it was hard to keep up with them as she wasn't really given a chance to answer most of them.
She'd rub her muzzle a little bit as Amsel introduced both her and her partner; which was quickly followed by the same question being answered along with an introduction from the Gaomon. She'd blink a few times and look between the three of them before sighing softly; what did she really expect when following footprints? Giving a small shrug she'd introduce herself; though she sounded far more tired about it than she really should.
"My name is K; used to be an innkeeper in the eastern-timberlands."
She'd tilt her head a little bit when Owen explained his reasoning behind being in the north. Or at least this portion of it; a whole new area in the northern prominince? That was unexpected to hear; she figured that this location would be slow to change.. at least with all the snow storms and general unchanging landscape. Sheepishly she'd rub the back of her head before giving it a soft shake before moving her goggles back to their usual position.
"Unfortunately My reason for being up here is far less exciting. I wanted to blow off some steam, so I took a walk. Wasn't expecting to get this far north actually but... You know how it goes."

Amsel was ecstatic, she got to know her two new Digimon friends better, apparently, Owen had been flying over the tundra and ended up getting caught in the snow storm that was raging outside. He was then forced to take shelter in the cave that they were all in now. Amsel couldn't help but wonder what kind of Digimon Owen had digivolved to in order to be able to fly, she imagined a very cool a huge half wolf half machine Digimon. Dorumon on the other hand nodded, he kinda felt bad that Owen was caught out in the air in the snow storm. He had to guess that it didn't end well with how strong the winds were.
Next, it seemed that K had spoken up and explained why she was all the way out here, she had just decided to take a calming walk and she was caught in the snow storm as well. Amsel had gotten impressed once again, she must be really tough if she came out in this cold climate just for a walk. Now it was Amsel and Ru-rus turn to explain how they had gotten stuck in the snowstorm, Amsel had let her partner go." well I and ru-ru came her to see snow because ru-ru has never seen it before! we had so much fun! until the storm came along and ruined it" Amsel said with an adorable childish pout, her partner silently chuckled placing his paws on his mouth.
Honestly, his partner could be really entertaining sometimes

Ordinarily Owen would have been a little more intimidated by K, but despite the Shutmon's fearsome appearance, well, he didn't really think he had much to fear from her. She seemed to be a fairly even tempered digimon, plus he was a Perfect level himself, normally, so, he treated her in a friendly manner without fear.
One thing he noticed though was that she seemed to be rather contemplative, seeming to look at them for a short time before answering. She also let out a sigh and seemed a little tired. Was there something on her mind? Well, it wasn't Owen's business to pry.
She said that her name was 'Kay' and worked in an inn in the timberlands. Owen remembered something vague about that. "Oh? Is that right?" he asked. He had been in an inn there himself a while ago, but its innkeep was a Renamon. But... Shutmon seemed to have some foxish features. Owen just had to ask. "Sorry if this seems sudden, but were you a Renamon in your Rookie level?" he asked. "Because I visited an inn a few months back and there was a Renamon there as a manager".
Her answer as to why she was here was also a little confusing. She just wanted to... blow off some steam? "Heh, wow, that must be a lot of steam, no offense" he said, chuckling.
Then Owen turned his attention to the human, who seemed a little bit childish. By now Owen had met enough humans to tell that like digimon, they had several stages of development. He ranked this one as one of the more younger humans in his encounters. But, he remembered, her partner was also present, and seemed a little protective of her.
"Ah, okay" he said in response to her words. "Well, we seem to be stuck here for now, so, what should we do?" he asked, wondering if they should sit down and wait for the storm to pass or do something else.

When Amsel spoke up about there reasoning for being here K blinked a few times. It was such a pure reason for actually coming to the northern prominence that she wasn't expecting it. From the little bits and pieces that she knew of humans they usually went to locations like these in search of something a little bit more convoluted. She'd flash a small smile and rub her muzzle tiredly.
"Certainly a pleasant reason to come to such a intense location; wouldn't snowflake village of been a bit more of a safe choice for such an endevour though?"
She'd tilt her head a little bit when Owen seemed to know what Inn she was talking about. It was odd running into past customers in such strange locations. She'd scratch her head and dip it in a nod when asked if she was a renamon as a rookie.
"That'd be me. You must of visited a short time before the incident that claimed the inn occured by that time frame."
It was less of an anger inducing rage to think about her inn in a past tense, it was more.. Sadness than anything. She had spent quite some time there and of course would need more time to adjust for it not being there.
"There is. Quite a lot has happened; and quite a lot needs to be thought about."
K shrugged and followed owen's gaze to the human. What did this digimon think of humans? Many didn't like them, and many did. Some wanted nothing more than to be left alone when it came to the humans too. When owen inquired as to what they should do K furrowed her brow a little bit.
"I'd suggest making camp and wait for the storm to pass. Plenty of things we can talk about to pass the time after all."

Amsel perked up when K had suggested a much safer place to see snow, well that was new information, it sounded like a nice place to visit. Amsel turned to her partner with a large smile "we could visit that place another time!" she said as she jumped up and down already excited. Ru-ru smiled and took out a small notepad from one of the pockets of his sleeveless jacket, taking a small pencil from the other pocket he flipped to a new a new page and wrote Next place to visit Snowflake Village. he knew that his partner could really be forgetful sometimes, so he decided that he would keep track of things that they wanted to do in the future.
Both Digimon and human looked at Owen and K when they had started to talk about an inn that K seemed to have owned. Unfortunately, it had been burned down in an incident. Amsel frowned, she would have loved to visit the inn if it was still around. maybe K will think about rebuilding it in the future. Amsel was brought out of her musings by K's suggestion of staying in the cave and camping out, she grinned and nodded much to her partner Digimon relief." yeah! it could be like a sleepover!". Dorumon nodded, he had no problem camping out and waiting for the storm to pass.

"Yeah, Snowflake Village probably needs more visitors. I heard it's being rebuilt fairly well these days" Owen added to K's thoughts. But it didn't have much use at this moment, so he would talk no further on that subject.
Owen smiled as K confirmed she was a Renamon. "Heh, thanks. Your inn has good prices, I should visit more often" he said, although he had pretty much been forced to stay the night due to weather. There he met Brad, who seemed to be a former digimon soldier, like him, but had issues with memory loss. But, in the end, they had remembered each other. And that was a friendship Owen was glad to have rekindled. Still though, now he was here with the innkeeper in question, he was rather curious about how she had managed to evolve to Perfect so quickly. But still, Owen had appreciated her hospitality and was inclined to treat her in a friendly way.
But then K said that something had happened to the inn. "Oh... I'm sorry to hear that" Owen said, his smile fading, his yellow eyes assuming a more respectful gaze. K confirmed that indeed something had happened, but Owen didn't want to pry further, given he knew how raw feelings could sour emotions pretty badly. "If you need to talk about it later, I'd be happy to listen" he offered.
K suggested they'd make camp and wait for the storm to pass. Owen agreed with this, the Gaomon knowing the value of shelter. They had it, and this storm would not last forever. They could simply pass the time in this cavern, but, he turned his head toward the tunnel that led deeper into the mountains. Would it be truly safe though? That they had this opening in their flank?
"Yeah, I agree" he said. "But, if this storm is still here in the night, we should probably take shifts at night guarding, just in case" he advised.
The human girl suggested it would be something like a sleepover, which made Owen grin again. Heh, human kids could be so cute. He hoped there would be no danger in this case though. So then, the Gaomon sat on the cave floor and looked around at his surroundings.
"So, does anyone have material for a fire?" he asked. "If not, well, if I had some food I could evolve to Gaogamon and keep you warm with my fur. So those are options we could use".

K had to admit that the human was rather excitable, if not younger and full of that kick that she had heard that some humans had. The few that she did meet had a 'kick' in different way. It was somewhat refreshing if not alarming in some fashion. She'd raise a brow as the human jumped up and down seeming excited beyond what the Shutmon was expecting.
At the mention of her Inn having good prices when it was still around the Shutmon chuckled lightly. There wasn't much of a reason to charge too much for things there; it would keep business flowing better even if most of the business had been from those that had lived in the town. There were many memories in that place which only made the thing that had happened to it much more impactful.
She still desired vengeance against those that had done her inn harm. Something fierce and it was easy to see even with her head dipping in a nod; accepting the apology that owen gave... along with the offer to listen to what she had to say upon a later point.
"Thanks, I don't... I don't really talk about it very often."
There was a brief but somewhat quiet pause before K followed where Owen was looking, raising a small brow as she could guess he was trying to either figure if they should go deeper or if there would be a threat coming from that way.
"Sounds like a wise idea."
At the mention that it could be like a sleepover K rubbed her muzzle and shook her head. She didn't think this was so much like a sleepover as it was camping with people that could be friends.
"Wouldn't it be more akin to camping than a sleepover though?"
At the query about having any materials, K shook her head slowly and looked rather exasperated.
"I didn't bring anything to make a fire with. Call it bad planning on my part hah."
The shutmon would take a seat and rummage around her bag, grumbling when she saw the warped key-ring to her inn but after a few moments she'd pull out a rather hefty bag of jerky along with what looked to be some drinks that were frozen solid.
"I've got some food, nothing super filling unfortunately. That and It might be a bit hard."
There was an awkward pause and she'd tap her leftmost blade on her forearm.
"I can make fire with these, it's really hot but that might be enough to help thaw stuff out.... Or Get us some patches of ground that aren't covered by snow."

Amsel thought for a moment, Owen was right, for all she knew these caves had other entrances, someone could easily ambush them if they weren't careful "yeah ok, that's reasonable" she said with a grin. "me and Ru-ru volunteer for the first shift" she said with an even bigger grin if that was even possible. Amsel blinked at K after she had said that this situation was more like camping then a sleepover, one would think that this revelation would have dampened her mood just a bit, but it did the exact opposite. Her excitement was through the roof by now he was practically vibrating with excitement.
Dorumon sighed, this was going to be a long night he could already tell. At the mention of food, Amsel shrugged off her backpack and opened it. Taking out a worn out leather bound book with faded names but still slightly readable names, she handed this book to her partner Digimon who held it carefully. After a bit of shuffling Amsel managed to bring out a thermic container, every time she moved it, it would let out a sloshing noise. She set that down and took out another container revealing it to be ice cream, Ru-ru began to salivate just at the sight of his favorite treat "we have some Ice Cream and Chicken noodle soup!~". she was sure there was enough to go around, after all, she had packed to accommodate for her own large appetite.
Amsel perked up when K said that she had something to start a fire, the problem was they needed fuel for it. She instantly volunteered"we can look!, Ru-ru has the best nose ever!" she stated as she patted her partners back, her partner chuckled nervously.

Owen's face softened into a sympathetic look when K seemed to be somewhat hurt at the thought of her inn no longer being there. Especially when he had said he enjoyed it rather a lot there. Oh man, he hoped that she could get back what was taken from her if it truly was destroyed.
In the meantime, the Gaomon considered the two words. "Yeah, camping seems like a better summary of it" he said. "Seeing as we're allied parties with a mutual goal of survival" he then realized he had said something linked from his old officer days. He cleared his throat and respoke that sentence. "I mean, we're all working together to make it through the night without getting hurt" he added.
So it seemed they had little material to make a fire. That was fine though, as K had some beef jerky for some food. Owen looked at it, then thought that would be okay.
"Sure. If I eat that, I should be able to evolve to Gaogamon and keep us warm" he offered. His fur was even thicker in that form, and as winterproof as a husky's. If going through the night required him to snuggle up with these three then he supposed he'd do so. Of course it wouldn't mean anything further, given that he was already engaged to that wonderful Dorumon that was Hikaru.
Then Amsel added Ice Cream and Chicken Soup to the equation and all fears were alleviated. "Heh, nice. That'll definitely help keep the warmth, although I won't ask to take it all" he said. Better still, that meant there was enough food to share. At first he had been worried they might be at risk of weakening from lack of food, but with this much available, that was no longer true.
But it was proposed that they look for fuel to make a fire. Well, Owen could understand with that. Light was good for morale after all. It didn't even have to be a particularly hot fire either to achieve that effect. "Well, if there's any fuel in this cavern, hopefully we can find it" he said. "But we shouldn't go too far. It's very easy to get lost in the caverns". That he had heard from his friend Brad, who had confessed that he had died from being lost in the caverns. So he did not say this lightly.

Well the didn't have to really worry about the first shift with how quickly that Amesel offered to be the first shift. Well technically two people for the first shift seeing as Ru-Ru would be with her. It'd certainly make for a good first shift seeing as they could watch either way.
"I'll take the second one then."
There was a small shrug and she'd frown after considering something. It would be frustrating if they got attacked in such a location, this cave wouldn't be suited for a prolonged fight... it wasn't even suited for a short one as the snow could give way if they got too violent.
"If something DOES happen, we shouldn't fight in the cave though, I don't trust it if it's made primarily of snow."
She'd rub her muzzle a bit and let out a soft sigh after a few moments. She'd dip her head in a nod with what owen said; he certainly had a level head on his shoulders didn't he? It was a little rare to run into such a digimon... but it honestly was very refreshing.
"All right, I've got another pack of it so don't worry too much about it."
She'd offer the jerky to Owen; though she had to admit that it would be a little odd doing so as her fur while likely not as thick as what he was going to digivolve into kept her comfortably warm. Perhaps it was just the fact it was ultimate? She bet if she went mega she'd of had less of a problem with the storm.. but she doubted that she would of fit in this cave.
"I mean the soup might keep us warm, but would eating ice cream at a place like this really help?"
She sounded a little worried and shifted slightly before looking from owen to the tamer pair. She'd once again have to find herself agreeing with what owen said about going deeper into the cavern. She didn't want to get stuck down here with no supplies! It had been a long time since she had been in this area entirely so she didn't know the flow of things anymore!
"That's a good point, Though I don't know how easy it'll be to find some fuel... Considering the area we're in at the very least."
