[atrb=valign,top] Jicklet found that she was starting to prefer the Factory area over several others for hiding places as she continued to attempt to drop off the radar. The zone chat was always a good way to tell if she were being tracked or not and she had that up in clear sight as she trained her partner with some of the zone's Hagurumon. "Niinii. Snap to! I don't need you falling asleep on me again." The Data attribute was murmuring quickly, just beginning to fall asleep yet again. "Mm... But why not, hm? It's so cozy here and snugglywarm..." came a quiet and sleepy response. The Neemon was wavering on it's feet, a content and sleepy smile on it's face and Jicklet could only shake her head at the yellow and red critter. A smile of her own grew on her face and she shook her head, "Fine. Fine. You can rest. I know if I push you too much you'll just pass out in the middle of a fight anyway." The Hagurumon pair that they were training with tittered then hurried away to... do whatever it was that Hagurumon do. She fought a yawn of her own, using her hat to fan herself, and looked around. The Desert areas always were brutal, either to make you feel sleepy or wear you out. But usually tiredness did get thrown into the equation. "Just 5 minutes... that's all I need..." came a sleepy response, the Neemon settling down on the ground, curling up to nap. "Heh, as long as we don't have a critter come up on us, you can have your nap." One of the perks to having an avatar with accessories was being able to easily create a breeze if the warm was getting to be too much and it certainly did come in handy this time. Even though she had a tank top, half-jacket and shorts, the warmth of the desert was still pretty strong and did not hold anything against the Digimon for wanting to take a nap, even if it was in his coding anyway. tagged steven ● notes i made myself sleepy ;__;

Spadamon panted, wiping away a smirk as his sword touches the ground. Another battle won, experience points were given, and he was left unhealed.

His tamer nods in approval as he walks up to the fallen digimon, examining it as it fades away. There were a few moves that they could sharpen, but for a new opponent, it was satisfactory. They will just have to do better the next time.

Regaining his composure, Spadamon tosses the blade over his shoulder, carrying it as he normally would. The fur somehow never getting cut along the way. "Is there another one out there, boss?"

"No." He replies with a slightly irritated tone. While wanted obedience from his partner, it is strange for him to be called that way. "They're not a fighter."

"Oh ~" Spadamon walks to his tamer's side, shifting his handle on the sword to one hand to scope out where his tamer was looking. It is another tamer pair, a female and a ... neemon? "We should go meet 'em."

But he doesn't wait for his tamer to respond before leaving.

With a slight shrug and a quick check of the clock, the male follows after his partner.

[atrb=valign,top] A quiet snore plus murmurs met Jicklet's ears as her partner swiftly decided into sleep. Such a strange partner. He certainly does like to sleep a lot. Wonder if there's something wrong with his coding. As Niinii slept, the blond avatar looked around the landscape, seeing the odd Hagurumon dance around - they were pretty common mobs in this area, then there was the very rare crackle of thunder, possibly from a Thundermon that had wandered outside the Factory. She wanted to explore the actual inside of the Factory, but that would wait until her Neemon partner woke, so until then, the cowgirlish avatar hovered around the entrance. Soon, she heard quick and confident footsteps coming up. Turning, Jicklet saw a sword-wielding, blue armored, white furred Digimon hurrying up with a smile on it's muzzle. Above green eyes, an eyebrow quirked in confused amusement and she looked further to see a male avatar trailing it. She almost smiled before it froze, half made on her avatar, ... They didn't find me did they? Jicklet choked as they came up on her, Neemon snoring away, unaware of what was going on around it. Soon, the pair were upon them, screen names in view, and Jicklet raised a hand in greeting, sweating slightly, "H-hi there, Ste-Steven," she stumbled over the username slightly, "and Spadamon." A tiny thought in the back of her head kept returning to the player she blacklisted, praying that they hadn't sent someone out to find her. It was a good chance that she was just being paranoid, and so she told herself, but she really didn't want to deal with that clinger. "What brings you out to these parts?" tagged steven ● notes

Steven gives a nod, "hello."

Spadamon's greeting is far more loud. He nudges the sleeping digimon with the flat edge of his sword. "Hey! Wake up, hmph." The lion continues to shove them. "What if your partner gets attacked here!"

She seems fine, even if her partner was sleeping in the wild like this. Jicklet, as she was labeled, didn't seem to entirely mind the fact that they were sleeping on the "job." She has no injuries. But he did note how nervous she appeared to be around him.

"We're training."

He wants to assume that they were the type of players to join Digimon Online as that cheap and simple resort. A non-serious gamer.

It doesn't stop Spadamon from continuing to shove the digimon awake however.

[atrb=valign,top] At first she was a bit upset that the furry sword-wielder began roughly pushing Niinii with the flat but as he starting groaning and pushing back on the blade, a small smile grew on her face. "Nngh. Mrgh! 'emme a'one," came the annoyed response from the poor Data attribute, "'op it... 'top it.. 'f sumfhng h'ppns 'll know, 'ke 'are of it... 're oky.. 'ow 'emme 'eep.." Jicklet began to openly giggle at her partner's refusal to wake and stand ready. She heard a vague mention on something about training, but she was all eyes for her little friend. "I swear, sometimes I worry about his coding. The description for Neemon said they like to sleep, but... I think he likes it a tad too much sometimes." As the Spadamon continued to shove at the Neemon, Jicklet turned a nervous eye to the other avatar again. It was a male with long, fine hair pulled in a ponytail, oval face and questioning eyes. He seemed to be more concerned about her partner, same as his own, than about her or her location. But she still wasn't certain of if the avatar was discreetly working on a mail or not - she didn't want to stare too horribly obviously. "The Hagurumon that wander seem to be fairly noisy when they attempt to 'creep' up and attack us. Neemon'd be right up soon as they got too close. He just likes his nap time." tagged steven ● notes lol, Spadamon!

"Spadamon," Steven called. The digimon quickly (but reluctantly) stopped what he was doing and turned back to his partner. He was right though! They shouldn't be spending all their time sleeping, even if it was something they were known for!

"Sorry about that." He continued, much to the white lion's annoyance.

At the mention of Hagarumon, he nodded. They were a noisy bunch, the clicking and cricking of the gears meshing together weren't quiet in the least. But they were hunting them. Spadamon needed more training. They needed to get stronger. "Have you seen a mob of them around?"

"Hey, wait!" Spadamon protested. "We're just gonna leave 'em like this?! There's digimon roaming around!"

[atrb=valign,top] The white lion looked adorably put-down when his partner called him back, to leave the sleeping Neemon alone. "Sorry about that," he apologized, to which she simply waved away. While she found the Neemon's mannerisms and appearance adorable, she didn't do all of her homework - namely it's moves. "Have you seen a mob of them around?" Immediately the Spadamon began protesting the question, obviously upset that his partner was willing to essentially abandon them there in the wild. "We're fine, Spadamon. No need to fret. We've taken them down easily enough, and with him sleeping on the job, as you would say," her avatar grinned at the white lion in an attempt of reassurance. "He can take well care enough of me, unless you're insisting on us partying up so you can keep an eye on us at all times?" tagged steven ● notes that comment on moves is totally at me xD Neemon is like Hare! They're all fart moves! Except one where it runs away.

Steven stared at Neemon with curiosity, wondering just what Jicklet meant. A digimon better off sleeping than awake ... The only thing he could imagine were those digimon legends he'd seen lying around related to the merchandise. The sleeping angel, Lucemon.

His attention snapped back to the female when she offered to party up with them. The difference in levels might be greater than she could imagine, and he was about to decline when --

"Hey, yeah! We should do that!"

Steven rolled his eyes. He should have expected that. Sometimes it was hard to imagine that the pair were once from a rather aggressive guild. Not with how Spadamon acted.

He sent a party request anyways.

[atrb=valign,top] Jicklet laughed at the Spadamon's enthusiasm for the party and she prodded Neemon as the party request came up on her side. A hand tapped quickly on the request and she prodded her partner again with her foot, "C'mon, time to not be lackadaisical. Time to move and train. You've had your nap." Whines and other sounds of protest rose up from the Data attribute Digimon as his rest was being interrupted. "Nuh-uh. You've you had your nap. Or else Spadamon'll have to get you up," the blond avatar warned, and knew that the Weapon type would love to poke and prod it more with it's sword. More whines met her ears but the long-eared Digimon clambered up at long last and dusted himself off, "Fiiiiine. We'll train. But I want my nap afterward." Jicklet merely grinned to herself, You can nap when I'm offli- Whoa. He's a high level. She had just looked at the party display and an eyebrow rose, "What are you doing out here with such a high level? Looking for a particular item or mob?" The player would totally admit that she was a bit underleveled for this area, but in her opinion it was better for her to be in an area like that to get better battle experience. "Fine. I'm awake. We training now or what?" came a rather aggravated statement. Looking down, she saw her partner, hands on hips and foot tapping. "Well. I guess we're ready to go," she said with a laugh. tagged steven ● notes blah.

At the mention of their name, Spadamon practically grinned like the cat who caught a mouse. His sword was in hand, spinning the tip between two claws. He let out an almost (but mostly comical) evil laugh.

"Yeah, you better wake up!"

Steven's left eye twitched. He placed a hand on his forehead, massaging it a little. "We're training. There are other digimon in this dungeon." He answered with a bit of a sigh. Spadamon was more bearable when he was fighting. He didn't talk as much then.

"We're looking for an Area Boss, ya know?"

Steven began to walk already, uninterested in talking. They needed to find the digimon. Their experience will be worth the effort of coming to this location.

[atrb=valign,top] When the Spadamon laughed, the blond avatar eyed it nervously, but giggled all the same with it. Neemon at her side, she nodded as the other player spoke and checked her partner's information as well as inventory to make sure her items were there. Supplies were pitiful, but they would have to do and the one move that Neemon currently knew would work at least once on most monsters. Then the last thing Steven said fully processed, Area boss? They were probably definitely underleveled for one of those. "I remember the announcement after the Halloween event that they were becoming permanent, which is awesome. It's, um..." she tried to remember the area boss for the sector. "It's a Meramon, isn't? I can't remember the exact type though." She was actually really nervous about that particular boss, but did her absolute best to sound confident and nonchalant. Meramon types typically tended to make her very nervous, even if they were someone's partner. Neemon on the other hand was wide-awake and excited from the word "Area boss" as they were walking, shadowboxing horribly, "We can take it on no problem! Me, all little and small, can slip all around it! And you!" the Neemon ran ahead and pointed at the Spadamon, "You! You've got a sword and you're big and tough and all you gotta do is block and slash and hack!" Jicklet grinned at her partner's enthusiasm. "Glad to see you proper awake so we can actually train," she teased her partner with a wink, to which the Neemon stuck out his tongue at her. tagged steven ● notes blah.

"That was north sector's area boss." Steven commented. His sharp eyes concentrated on their surroundings. "Their strength was weakened to suit the players, but this one wouldn't be."

"Steeeeeven!" Spadamon called. "Don't scare 'em! It won't be that bad!"

The tamer would have responded if it hadn't been for Neemon's sudden liveliness. It seemed when the digimon was awake, he was just as energetic as his own partner ... Much to his distaste.

"Yo, woah! Hey, you're up and running!" Spadamon laughed and grinned seeing Neemon run around all excitedly. "Hey! There's a lot of technique that goes in to 'hacking and slashing'!"

Steven said nothing, merely shaking his head at their interaction, but he did secretly agree with the white lion's sentiments.

ooc want me to pull out a digimon to attack 'em in say, two - three posts?

[atrb=valign,top] Upon hearing that the area boss wasn't the Meramon and that the thing's strength was at it's proper level, Jicklet was even moreso nervous about it as she knew for certain of only four area bosses and the Meramon was one of them, at least of the top of her head at least. "Then... What boss was in this Sector?" Confusion tinged her voice, however, as she spoke. Neemon, of course, was a bit oblivious to impending KO by the creature and was running around still. "Of course I'm up and moving!" The beast-type laughed and ducked around the Spadamon and responded with some confusion, "There's technique to hacking and slashing?" The confusion lacing his voice was plain and it was obvious that the creature had no idea how to use a weapon. The blond avatar couldn't but giggle at the unlikely pair, trailing behind Steven obediently and keeping an eye out for anything that looked like it was ready to start a fight with them. Hagurumon clanked, there was the occasional roar of maybe an Ogremon or some subspecies of it or maybe a lost Mammothmon. If the latter were possible anyway. tagged steven ● notes then what was the area boss for this sector? I went by the event threads and it said Death Meramon was the area boss for the west sector... or was that just for the event? but yes, two or three posts, whenever it seems good. start with a thundermon? they're uncommon to rare but it'd be a good warm up.

"It was Pumpmon for the event. Here ... I suspect HiAndromon." He didn't mind talking about things related to fighting, it seemed. It made it easier for him, less personal. "Or any other android digimon. A Guardromon or two are welcomed to fight as well." He spoke the last part to no one in particular.

He moved calmly amidst the sounds of the digimon in the background. Fighting Hagurumon would be an insult to their talents in Steven's mind. They were too weak. Spadamon, with his training, would be able to take them on in two winks.

"Yeah there is! You gotta be a swordsman like me," Spadamon pressed a white claw to his armored chest, "to know how to use all the techniques of handling the sword. Only newbs hack and slash."

ooc ... You're the first person to actually request specific digimon -- that I've seen anyways. lol. I'll have 'em up after your post.
