The Path Not Taken (Rebecca)

Post by Dante on Jan 30, 2020 4:36:06 GMT
It was another lively day in the Server Woods. Birds sing in the treetops, critter Digimon scurry about gathering food. The woods were often a peaceful place, but it was not just wild Digimon that inhabited the area. The shade provided by the brush harbors many secrets, and lures in Digimon with something to hide. Dante always felt somewhat at peace in the Server Woods. He enjoyed being out in nature, leaving life's problems behind and taking in the beautiful scenery.
This was not a Sunday stroll through the woods. Dante has been summoned here for a great cause. Clad in a red cloak covering his leather outfit underneath, Dante marches on with the one and only Worm King riding on his shoulder. Dante's hair has grown longer and mangy over the winter, the red dye faded over time revealing his natural dirty blonde hair color. He really needs a shave as well.
Fortunately, Dante has learned his lessons from before, and packed many supplies so Wormmon would not complain about being hungry 5 minutes into the journey. Dante continues through the forest until he comes across a large dead tree. "This is the tree Terriermon mentioned. He said take a right and it is not much further." "What are we doing out here again, Dante?" "Terriermon sent me a message about problems in the forest with local bandits. I thought the raids had died down, but it would appear that they have recovered over time."
Wormmon raises one antennae in confusion. "So, are we gonna fight an entire bandit hoard by ourselves? Not that I'm nervous or anything! I just don't wanna do all the heavy lifting, you know?" "I sent word to a friend, and they are joining as well. We will wait at this tree for them." Dante reaches into his pocket and takes out his cigarettes and a lighter, sparking one up.
"Bah! Those smelly twigs! I thought you said you were gonna stop smoking." "Quitting is hard, I am an addict at this point." "I'm glad I'm not addicted to anything." "Video games, junk food, caffeine, any of those ring a bell?" "Those don't count! I've already explained to you how foolish it is to think that someone can become addicted to playing video games." Dante thinks to himself how he hopes his friends get here soon so he doesn't have to listen to Wormmon throw stones from his glass house.

"I have the courage to become your wiiiings! And I'll carry you into the liiiiiight! No matter what challenges life has to bring, I'll trust in our magic and fiiiiieeeiiight- DAMMIT!"
The sound of singing, followed by a voice crack and a loud yell of anger would be heard by the human and her twin Digimon pair. The human, White Wolf, was sitting on a log trying to sing a verse of a specific song, but something kept causing her to stop and shot out profanity out of anger. The Agumon and Gabumon looked at each other before looking at White Wolf. "Is something wrong, Wolf?" Gabumon asked in a calm tone. "I thought your singing was exquisite!""Yeah, and really good too!"
"What, no it isn't," The teen said as she stood up, brushing off her white pants. She sighed as she pushed her white hair to the side, revealing more of her black mask underneath. "Can't you hear the voice crack at the end? I'm trying to work out this song but my voice keeps cracking horribly at that one place...!""Ah, you're worried you won't sound as best as you can be.""Yeah, but I'm worried I'm not ABLE to sing as good as I have before... am I losing my voice?"
Suddenly the group heard rustling from within some nearby bushes. As they raised their guard up, three BlackGuilmon would lurk out of the bushes, circling White Wolf and her Digimon. "Alright, heeeere's the deal, little human lady," one of the BlackGuilmon would say, "we outnumber your little Digimon friends here. Give us everything you own, and we will consider not deleting you."White Wolf looked towards the twins. "...I'm thinkin' DNA for this one. What do you two think?""Whuh?" The BlackGuilmon were clearly confused. "Heck yeah!" "Definitely."
A few moments later, a wandering Dante and Wormmon would see a BlackGuilmon fly right past them, slamming right into a tree. It would then get up and run, being followed by another two BlackGuilmon. If they were to follow where they were running from, they would end up seeing White Wolf and Coredramon confidently standing there.
(OOC: This is the song White Wolf would be singing)

Dante leans back against the dead tree, as he nonchalantly takes a puff from his cigarette. He hears something off in the distance. Wormmon's antennae poke up, and Wormmon becomes more alert. "Did you hear that? It sounded like someone singing." "That's odd. Who would be out here singing?" As Dante continues his smoke break, all of a sudden a BlackGuilmon comes flying across his line of vision, crashing into a tree. The Rookie gets up and starts running, followed by two other BlackGuilmon.
"That was strange. We better check this out." Dante quickly puts out his cigarette and starts heading in the direction the trio is running from. "Wait for me! I am the Worm King! Where are my loyal subjects when I need them? Dante, slow down! My fangirl base is dwindling, so I need you to carry me." "Quit your babbling, you lazy bug. I carried you the whole way here."
Dante follows along the path until he sees a woman wearing a mask and a Coredramon standing there. The woman has white hair and is wearing a black mask. Wormmon comes hopping along and looks up at the duo. "Whoah! They look badass." "Those BlackGuilmon, they are not friends of yours, I take it?" Wormmon curiously crawls towards the woman and stares up with big round eyes. "You smell like muffins!" "Wormmon, remember when we talked about proper introductions?" Dante turns towards the woman and bows politely. "Greetings. My name is Dante, and this is my Digimon partner, the little dictator in training."
Wormmon makes a pouty face at Dante, crossing one set of legs and placing another on his hips. "You're not saying it right! Ahem, ladies and gentlemen! Weighing in at 51 cheeseburgers, the lean, mean, green, fighting machine, King'ah, of the Sting'AAAH! The Worm King, WOR-RRR-MMOOONNN!" "Are you done acting a fool yet?" "Dante, shush. Don't try and throw me off my game in front of a pretty lady." "Pretty? She's wearing a mask. She's not pretty, I mean, I don't think you're not pretty, not that I think you are pretty." "Now you are embarrassing yourself there, chief. Please ignore my manservant. Trust me, I'm super awesome."
That was probably the worst introduction Dante and Wormmon could have done.

"Bandits out here in the forest?" Coredramon had asked after defeating the three wanna-be burglars. "I would've assumed that they'd try better strategies than what they had did just now. Are you alright, White Wolf?"
"Yeah yeah, I'm alright. I doubt they'll come back again if they know what's good for them."
White Wolf could hear footsteps getting louder and louder. Were they even more bandits? Did they not just see and/or hear the BlackGuilmon running away in fear? Didn't matter; if they were bandits, White Wolf and Coredramon would just fight them off like they did with the others.
But these footsteps belonged to someone White Wolf was not expecting to run into: Dante, her next-door neighbor, and his Digimon partner Wormmon. The only time they had talked was when White Wolf was simply Rebecca Story. Would Dante be able to see through her disguise?
Apparently not, as they both looked and acted like they were meeting total strangers. Oh thank god...
White Wolf watched as Wormmon crawled up to her. Of course her natural instincts told her that "bug = bad", so she backed up by half a step. She sweatdropped when she was told that she smelled like muffins. "Uh... what?"
"..." Coredramon was also at a loss for words right now. What kind of greeting even was that?
After that awkwardness, Dante would introduce himself normally while Wormmon would be way too extravagant with his greeting when he really could've just settled on saying his name, possibly even adding a small title. White Wolf just blinked as she watched his introduction go on. How the hell does Dante handle a Digimon like THAT?
The idol interrupted the two bumbling partners by raising her hand up. "Okay, sooo... you're Dante, and you're Wormmon, right? Or would you prefer I call you 'King-a of the Sting-a'?" She said the title in a playfully mocking tone. "I'm White Wolf, and this is my partner slash partners, Coredramon. They're DNA Digivolved right now; would you like to meet them separately?"

Wormmon was unaware that White Wolf is acting uncomfortable. He didn't notice the sweat drop or her stepping back. Once again, Wormmon's unfiltered nature and reckless abandon of social norms had left the "strangers" speechless. Better to get it out of the way now that Wormmon is crazy and Dante is neurotic. Actually, crazy doesn't do it justice. After that pathetic introduction, the woman introduces herself and her partner.
White Wolf asks Wormmon if he would prefer she call him by one of his self proclaimed titles. "You can call me baby, if you like." "Wormmon, stop flirting. You are making everyone here uncomfortable." Wormmon repeats what Dante said in a mocking tone. "Myeh myeh myeh, myeh myeh!" White Wolf mentions that her Digimon partner is actually a DNA Digivolution of two Digimon, and asks if they would like to meet them separately. "I'd love to!" Dante nods his head in agreement.
Something didn't feel right. White Wolf, where had Dante heard that name before? Dante brushes his hair out of his eyes and clears his throat. "So what brings you here to the forest? Are you here to help fight against the bandits too?" "We're on a mission to save the day, as always. And do we ever get anything in return? No! Where's my treasure? How about riding off into the sunset with a pretty girl? Nope!" "Uh oh, Wormmon's starting to rant again."
Dante takes a laser pointer out of his pocket and starts pointing it in the grass nearby Wormmon. The Worm King notices the light. "Whoah, check it out! There's a little red dot there! I'm gonna smash it!" Wormmon tries to catch the light, but Dante waves it around. "Hey, come back here!" Dante moves the light in a circle, making Wormmon spin around. Finally, Dante puts the laser back. "Hey, it's gone! What were we talking about again?" "White Wolf is going to show us her Digimon partners." "Oh ya. So a Coredramon, eh? Who DNA Digivolves together into a Coredramon? It's so mysterious, like your mask! What's the deal with your mask, White Wolfy?" "White Wolf."

"If I call you baby, then I guess I'll be labeled as a cheater," White Wolf told the pervy bug, "'cuz I already have a boyfriend. And if you cross him, he has an actual army at his side." Wormmon's intelligence will be determined by the response he gives to that.
White Wolf looked over to Coredramon. "The bandits are gone, you guys can de-digivolve now."
Coredramon nodded as the Digimon was engulfed in light, before splitting up into two smaller forms, which were revealed to be an Agumon and a Gabumon. Of course both of them had met Dante before, but they went with the advantage of being very common Digimon and pretending that they had never met before. To add onto the illusion, they both gave themselves fake names.
"Hullo, my name is Arcan, and this is my brother Gunther."
Not bad for fake names we use as Digimon...
After introductions were done, Dante asked if they were here to help fight against the bandits as well. "You mean those BlackGuilmon weren't the only ones? We just came here so I could practice my song in privacy."
"They can't be causing that much trouble, can they?"
Wormmon started to rant about not getting rewarded enough as a hero, as much as White Wolf could figure out, so Dante pulled out a laser pointer that had Wormmon chasing it like a cat. White Wolf, "Arcan" and "Gunther" couldn't stop laughing at this site, since it was so ridiculous looking.
"Hahahahaha! Oh, that's probably the best thing I've ever seen!"
After Dante put the laser pointer away and White Wolf calmed herself down, Wormmon asked her an obvious question: what was up with the mask? "Well for one, I do like to have privacy. You know, walk around Japan without a mob following me everywhere. Plus it adds onto my idol persona, what other idols would wear a mask, hm?"

The Worm King was quite miffed at Reb- I mean White Wolf rejecting his advances. "Hmph! You're not really my type anyways. Dante, what happened to all those dumb ladies that keep following us around?" Dante gives Wormmon a confused look. "You know, Judith, Kiyoko, Misty, Sal, Sherry..." "Little buddy, I'm cutting you off from caffeine if you don't stop acting all anti-women." "What are you talking about?! I'm all about the babes." "Zip it!"
Coredramon reverted back to two separate Rookie forms. Dante is surprised to see a set of Agumon and Gabumon twins, just like their neighbor Rebecca. It was a common pairing, but it did seem like a big coincidence. Dante gives Wormmon a suspicious look, but Wormy doesn't make the connection. "Nice to meet you, Arcan and Gunther. I trust that you do not give your Tamer this much flack."
Dante isn't sure what to think of this mysterious stranger. They did find it hilarious when Dante played with the laser pointer, getting Wormmon to chase it around like a cat. It turns out that they came here so she could practice her music in peace. When Wormmon mentioned the mask, White Wolf explained how she doesn't want to be followed around in the streets, being a pop idol. Dante looks startled. A little light bulb struggles to click in his head.
"Oh, you're that White Wolf. No Way! You are a lot better than my wannabe sister." Wormmon's antennae pop up. "Whoah! You're an idol? Oh, that's why you are playing hard to get. You think you're better than me?! I am the Goddess of Destruction, not a false idol!" "Would you simmer down?! White Wolf is going to drop kick you into a tree if you don't straighten your act up right now, mister!"
Wormmon sneers up at Dante. "You are no fun! Let's go already!" Maybe these three would be willing to join the relief effort. "We are here to defend against the bandit attacks and drive them back. Terriermon is leading a resistance. Are you down to join the fight? If not, my foul mouthed partner and I will let you return to your practice." Wormmon gives White Wolf the stink eye, choosing to remain silent for now. "The path to the camp is just past a large tree that way."

"Well that's fine and dandy, because non-humans aren't really my type either," White Wolf said to Wormmon with a big smile on her face, as if she was actively trying to rub it in. At least Wormmon wasn't being dumb and continuing to try and get down with White Wolf or anything like that. It was a pretty heart-pounding fright that Dante and Wormmon might have been able to tell who White Wolf was based on the Digimon alone. Thankfully the fake names helped out somewhat; White Wolf DEFINITELY didn't want either of them to know who she really was. That would just be super awkward. "It is nice to meet you too, Dante. And no, based on what we've seen from your partner here, we do nothing of the sort with White Wolf."
"Yeah! She helped us get food and saved us when we met her!"
Eventually Dante and Wormmon do remember that White Wolf is a famous idol in Japan, and Dante commented that she was better than her wanna be sister. "That's not a nice thing to say. What's her music like? I might have at least heard something of hers."
Then Wormmon began to speak up again, saying that White Wolf was merely playing "hard to get" because she was an idol and apparently thought that she was better than the Goddess of Destruction. "Wait, Goddess? Your voice sounds anything but ladylike."
"Same thing could apply to your personality."
"Hold on, I've got something to show you." White Wolf would pull out her phone and show Wormmon a picture. It would be a picture of all of the Xros Army, Silence... minus the General himself. She would then swipe to show various other forms of this army: a Tankdramon, Sealsdramon, Pteramon, Tankmon, BlackGargomon, and so on. "Try getting with me again and my boyfriend will send these guys to you!"
Dante informed White Wolf that a Terriermon was leading a resistance against these bandits, and asked if she and the twins were gonna join them. "The bandit problem is that serious? Then maybe we should go... alright, lead the way."

Again, Wormmon and White Wolf seemed to have some heat, mostly due to the Worm King's flirting and bad attitude. Dante could tell that Agu and Gabu were much more appreciative than Wormy. When asked about his sister's music, he couldn't think of any of her songs. "Oh, well, she's always whining in some high pitch voice, trying to be a cliché J-Pop idol." "Dante's mom is a famous French popstar. And didn't Judith's last album go platinum?" "What? There's no way people are going to pay to listen to that garbage. I grew up with her, the music gene did not get passed down."
Wormmon referring to themselves as a Goddess caught the Agumon off guard. The Worm King clearly sounded like an annoying high pitched male, not a woman. "Ya, do you want to explain that?" "It's simple, I'm a Wormmon." "Wormmon seems to be more masculine throughout all his stages, but at Ultimate and Mega, he's very curvy. Your gender is very confusing, Wormmon." "To hell with gender specific words and pronouns! You are all obnoxious meat puppets with really long legs."
White Wolf takes out her phone and begins showing Wormmon pictures of her boyfriend's Digimon. "I don't care how many boyfriends you have! I was just being friendly, you old shrew." When it came to the bandits, White Wolf agreed to join them. "Awesome! Let's go." Dante turns and starts walking back towards the tree. "I was going to meet someone at this tree, but I don't think they are showing up."
As they continue on, Dante trips on a small rock and falls forward. "Man down! What happened?" "Oww! I tripped. Guess my foot must of slipped." They continue on and get back to the dead tree. "He's not here yet. Should we wait?" "Pitter patter, Dante!"

White Wolf was surprised to hear that both Dante's mother and sister were involved with the world of music. "No way! That's so awesome! You're lucky to have family that's passionate about music! And come on, I think you should give your sister more credit than that. You gotta cherish your family!"
Gunther and Arcan were both pretty confused why Wormmon referred to himself as a Goddess when he was clearly pretty masculine. His answer? He was a Wormmon. "Even the dumbest of the dumb could figure that one out, Mr. Obviousmon."
When his pronouns were questioned even more, Wormmon just seemed to get fed up and called humans "obnoxious meat puppets with really long legs." White Wolf looked right at Dante with a sorrowful expression. "What magical force did you tick off to have you be stuck with him?"
White Wolf was clearly pissing off Wormmon by threatening to have her boyfriend's Digimon all come in to pound on him, and that pleased her a great deal. She and her twin Digimon followed Dante and Wormmon to the meeting spot at this dead tree. The Digimon they were supposed to be meeting wasn't there yet, and Dante questioned if they should wait or not. "If this was the spot you were to meet, then it wouldn't be wise to leave."
"So we just wait here twiddling our claws together then? We need SOMETHING to entertain us until then!"

When it came to musicians in the family, Dante did not share White Wolf's enthusiasm. The novelty had worn off, and the cons of being pressured to succeed at a high level outweighed the pros at this point in his life. Coming from successful parents and competing against his sister only highlighted Dante's lack of achievements. "I don't expect you to understand, but it's my cross to bare. Apparently, playing wonder boy and saving the world from digital monsters isn't enough."
Wormmon's responses garnished quite a bit of confusion, and explaining it lead to Wormmon insulting humans in a strange way. "I guess compared to you, humans do have long legs. Point taken." White Wolf asks Dante why he drew the short green worm stick in the Tamer lottery. "If I find out why, I'll let you know."
As they are walking back to the tree, Wormmon has a little chit chat inside his head between Wormmon and Lilithmon. The Goddess raises a glass of wine and takes a big sip. "That masked slut is grinding my gears! Can't we just snap her neck and burn this whole stupid forest to the ground?" "I know, right? Dante said we have to be a good mon. Why is it everyone we run into thinks they are smarter than me?" "Ya, it's a mystery alright. I'll hold back my rage for now and save it for some sniveling bandits." "Roger dodger. Hmm, sure is empty in here. Wanna play video games?" "Focus! We are almost at the tree." "Ha! Dante fell over. What a goober."
After they reach the tree, Dante wonders if they should wait much longer for his compadre. Gabumon suggests sticking to his word and waiting while Agumon is more impatient. "Well, I don't wanna make you guys wait too. He's probably a no show." Dante checks his pocket for his cigarettes, but they are not there. He appears slightly startled as he begins checking all his pockets for his smokes. "I can't find my cigarettes. Did I drop them or something?"
Suddenly a chill runs up Dante's spine. The sound of a flame sparking from a cheap lighter can be heard towards the right. Dante looks over and sees the one whom he invited, nonchalantly leaning against a tree smoking one of Dante's cigarettes. A low branch obscures the man's face. "Looking for these?" The man steps forward, walking straight towards Dante. He is much taller, with platinum blonde hair slicked back. He is wearing a black and white face mask across his mouth and nose, leaving his cold eyes exposed. There are notches in the mouth of the mask with the cigarette hanging out of one. He is clad in dark leather armor with a teal sash across his chest. The design of the mask makes it look like he is smiling. The man approaches Dante and the two young men stare each other down.
"Glad you could make it, Cassius." "Dante, good to see you again. And you thought I would no show. Ye of little faith. Hopefully that's not the only thing that comes up short." "I missed that sharp tongue of those. I mean, I didn't think it was funny, but you would make a good birthday clown." "Okay, starting to get aggravated here. Old habits die hard. I've got a dozen knives with your name on them." "I thought you were a good boy now. Naughty, naughty. I don't know how you escaped from your cell, but don't think I won't put you back." "Oh, I have changed my evil ways. Considering you are a reformed cult leader, I don't think I'll catch any flack for dismembering you." "Thief!" "Underachiever!" "Creepy bastard!" "Twig boy!" "Degenerate psychopath!" "Self obsessed crybaby!"
Things get so bad that Wormmon has to be the voice of reason between the two, so you know it's bad. "Okay, ladies! Settle down. Why the hell did you invite Cassius anyways, Dante?" "We need all the help we can get against the bandit forces, and who understands a hoard of bandits better than the master thief himself?" "You flatter me, bush league. Now are you going to introduce me to your accomplishes?" Cassius turns towards White Wolf and the twins. "How are you now? I'm Cassius, the master thief with a heart of gold. Reformed criminal bad boy with a silver tongue and good with my hands." "Stop tooting your own horn, Cassius! You are wasting your breath. I think she is a rezbian or something."
"A what? You know what? I don't wanna know." Cassius hands Dante his cigarettes and lighter, then blows smoke in his face. "What's the matter? You are used to smelling like an ashtray." "You smell like the horny wife of a fisherman, getting freaky with the seafood." Wormmon gives the boys an angry glare. "What the hell have I gotten myself into? Not only do I gotta deal with this masked lady, but Dante and Cassius are already at each other's throats! Time to law down the lay, I mean, lay down the law. Lay, law, down, tie me kangaroo down, sport..." The Lilithmon inside his head smacks the little Wormmon. "Alright, Dante, quit being a baby! Cassius, stop being a violent creep! White Wolfy, get off my back! If we stand any chance against the bandits, we need to get on the same page, people!"

"Wha- do you seriously think you're not achieving as much as her? Oh come on, that's crazy talk, I'm sure you have some accomplishments in your life. For example, can't think of anyone else who could withstand Wormmon there." It was very obvious that White Wolf could not stand Wormmon by this point, and he didn't like her back so there was that as well.
"Er, I don't think it's a good idea to push Wormmon's buttons any more than you already have, White Wolf."
"You're right, you're right... sorry, Wormmon." If Wormmon was willing to stop pushing White Wolf's buttons then she would stop pushing his.
While the group was waiting, Dante mentioned not being able to find his cigarettes. "Ugh, you smoke? That's a really dirty habit. I remember my father smoked and my mother tried to get him to quit multiple times..." White Wolf then looked away. Maybe her parents were a very touchy subject for her?
Suddenly another human steps up towards Dante. This guy looked like a super villain that had jumped straight out of a comic book. At least White Wolf wore normal clothes besides the mask, what was this person's deal? It seemed that he and Dante had a history together, as their discussion just ended up with them arguing with each other. It got so bad that WORMMON, of all Digimon, was the one to break them up. The strange man looked over at White Wolf and introduced himself as Cassius, a so-called reformed criminal. "If you're reformed then why do you look like a supervillain? And Wormmon, what the heck do you mean by 'rezbian'?"
"Can we move on al-frigging-ready? I think we get the fact that none of us like each other that much. We can either go stop the actual bad guys from doing their thing or we can stay here and delete each other. What would you all wanna do more, huh?"

White Wolf reassures Dante that he must have some accomplishments to take pride in, mentioning putting up with Wormmon is quite the feat. "That has been one of the more difficult parts of being a Tamer, no offense, Worm King. We joke around, but I wouldn't trade you for any Digimon." Wormmon smiles up at Dante. Dante fond it odd that the outspoken Wormmon did not respond to his flattery, but maybe Wormmon operates until the rule, if you can't say something mean, don't say anything at all. "But how can I compete against a pop idol?"
Gabumon mentions it probably isn't best to wind up Wormmon. White Wolf agrees and apologizes to the worm. "Ya, ya. Let's have a fresh start. I'll lay off of you since you are so sensitive." "Wormmon…" "I mean, since, uh, manners, lady, respectful, yadda, yadda, yadda..." Hopefully that will buy them a few minutes of peace.
White Wolf made it clear to Dante that she isn't a fan of smoking, claiming her mother tried to get her father to quit. "Yeah, I know. It's a disgusting habit, but it's difficult to quit for good. I'll go off on my own when I wanna smoke."
Then Cassius shows up, and destroys any chance of this group getting along. White Wolf asks the self proclaimed reformed criminal why he looks like a supervillain. "...Because I have style, mi'lady. Who is your friend, Dante?" "She is White Wolf, and I just met her. Her and her partners have agreed to help fight the bandits." "White Wolf, eh? That name sounds familiar."
Cassius approaches White Wolf and leans in close, squinting his eyes and examining her mask. "Are you that Korean girl who keeps kicking my ass at online poker?" Dante facepalms. Like Wormmon, Agumon is getting impatient, and wants the new team to get on the same page and get going. "So it is agreed, not all of us like each other, but we are going to get along and come together to defeat a greater evil. Then, we can go back to loathing each other. So, get it out of your system now."
"Agreed. Dante, you are a beta male who sucks at life, but damn it, I respect you." "That's more like it. White Wolf, sorry we started out on the wrong leg." "I am also curious what Wormmon means by rezbian." "You know, one of those drama types. Piedmon is a rezbian." "What?!" "Uh, Wormmon, I think you mean 'thespian'. Thes-pi-an!" "That's what I said, rezbian." "Whatever. Let's move." Dante starts walking down the path next to the old dead tree. It wouldn't be long until they reach the camp.

White Wolf raised an eyebrow in surprise when Wormmon didn't respond to the compliment. You'd think the little bug would've really hammed it up but all he did was... smile? Wormmons had really bizarre mouths so it was hard to tell if they are smiling or frowning. Dante asked how he could compete against a pop star. "Well it's simple: you don't. If you don't want to be a pop star, don't be one, and don't compare yourself to one either. Becoming an idol isn't the only way to be successful, you know. What are you good at?"
Thankfully Wormmon agreed to lay off insulting White Wolf as she agreed to stop insulting him, so there should hopefully be fewer problems between the two, right? "Alright good, so there is no need to be violent..."
The newcomer Cassius responded to White Wolf's supervillain comment by saying it was because he had style. White Wolf laughed. "You know who else had style? The Joker."
"Ha! I get that one!"
Dante introduced White Wolf to Cassius, who would then walk up to her and lean in extremely close, clearly making the girl uncomfortable. He then proceeds to ask White Wolf if she was "that Korean girl who keeps kicking my ass at online poker."
"Huh?" "Wha?" "What's poker?"
The subject of the "rezbian" came back into play, and it was determined that Wormmon had actually meant "thespian". "Well, I suppose you could say I am."
"A thespian? But I thought you liked guys?" Gabumon had asked.
"Okay, THAT is something else entirely. A thespian is another word for an actor or actress, or someone relating to theater. I actually do have some acting things set up, but that isn't important right now." And with that, the group would continue to walk down the path to the camp.

White Wolf insists that Dante didn't have to compete with his sister. He doesn't need success in a music career just because his mother and sister found success. "Well, I am good at martial arts. I just haven't been as serious with my training since I became a Tamer." Martial arts was the other family trade. "That opens up another can of worms. My father was a famous fighter, as was my uncle, whose daughter is following in his footsteps. Let's just say Christmas dinner didn't go well." "You threw food right in your d-bag uncle's face! It was so great."
Things between Wormmon and White Wolf has cooled down. There was still the white elephant in the room, a master thief that looks and sounds like a serial killer. When Cassius responded by saying he had style, WW mentions the Joker. Cassius did not have the expected response to this burn. He quickly turns away, remaining silent. Dante has never seen Cassius act this way before. Dante approaches White Wolf and speaks quietly. "Cassius has scars on his face that are similar to the Joker's. Judging by the fact that he is covering them up, he seems sensitive about it." When did everyone get so dang sensitive?!
It turns out WW is a rezbian after all, a thespian. Somehow, Wormmon was correct. Once they had all worked out their differences, they set foot on the path towards Terriermon's camp. After a short walk, they reach a large wooden wall. The sentries see them coming and call out to them. "Who goes there?!" "It's Dante, Terriermon sent for me." "Ah, yes. Come on in." The gates slowly open up, revealing a small town. Down the hill, there is a valley full of small houses together. "Digimon must have gathered here to escape from the bandits. If they have fortified this much, it must be worse than I expected."
The group is greeted by a Terriermon sporting a brown cloak and several white cloths wrapped around his body as bandages for past injuries. The weathered rodent is delighted to see Dante and the others. He waves them hello with one of his ears, which is wrapped up from injury as well. "Hello there! It's nice to see so many people who can help."
Dante approaches Terriermon and bows politely. "Good to see you again, Terriermon. I hope the attacks haven't been too harsh." "The bandits have been viscous, but we manage, my friend. A warm welcome to all of you. My name is Terriermon, and I wound up becoming the leader of the resistance after the last one caved hard and sold out to the bandits years ago. Our cook is preparing a meal for you. Please, make yourselves at home." To the right, there is a large wooden structure with a roof and several tables underneath. There is also a small well nearby, and a few training dummies used for sparring practice. "There is much to be done, but we will get everything covered." They start gathering around one of the tables, Cassius walking over slowly and acting aloof.
