tree climbing -- OPEN

[Deleted]

ARTEMISIA i was in the darkness so darkness i became

third time's the charm Blue eyes watched with some form of amusement as the dragonoid digimon hung from the branch below. It was the closest branch to the ground, but had taken him a bit of time to actually get there…after all, dragons were not meant for climbing. Well, he certainly wasn’t meant for climbing, which Ladon found a bit upsetting. Izzy had climbed the tree first – he thought she maybe had a thing for heights, as she liked climbing up onto her rooftop too – and he was just trying to follow his tamer because she sure looked lonely sitting on that branch all by herself. What kind of partner would he be, if he didn’t fix that? Thus, his current predicament. His top half was currently holding into the branch, as his lower half – legs and tail – dangled. More than once, he tried to pull himself up but his foot kept slipping…so, there he was, just dangling on the branch. His bright eyes looked up towards his tamer, narrowed as they noticed her amusement. He couldn’t help but inwardly grin though, as it was one of the few times he heard Izzy laugh like that. Most of the time, people thought she was quite serious or stuck up, so he was quite happy to know he could at least bring out this relaxed side of her. Even if it meant being stuck on a branch, in a tree, in the forest. "Izzy," he called to his tamer, elongating her name with a complaining tone. The raven haired girl merely raised an eyebrow, a small, but genuine smile on her expression. Ladon huffed, attempting to bring himself upward once more but still unable to get his legs up and keep them from falling off the branch…again. "It’s not funny!" "Have you ever climbed a tree before?" she asked, curious but still amused with the sight before her. She was usually a serious type of girl, sure, but there was just something about Ladon that seemed to break down her defenses. No matter how hard she tried to keep them up – granted, it took him quite a bit of time, but he eventually began to wear them down. "…No…" he muttered, legs kicking once more as he attempted to pull himself up, with the same result as the last four times. Ladon huffed once more, legs flailing in the sixth attempt to get up on the branch in the last ten minutes. Artemisia, as she watched her partner get frustrated, smiled from her spot on the branch she perched herself on. "Mind over matter, Ladon," she called out, to which the dragonoid digimon’s eyes narrowed in determination as he attempted to haul himself up onto the branch. His leg slid off the branch once more, and he was getting a bit tired of just hanging there. Unluckily, when his leg slipped, so did his grip and instead of finding himself on the branch as he planned, Ladon found himself back on the ground, a bit disoriented from the fall. Literally, shaking his head to get rid of the lingering dizziness, Ladon glared at the laughing girl. "this isn’t funny, Izzy!” he complained, before crouching low, tail wiggling in anticipation as he attempted to climb the tree once more. He would climb the tree and he would show it who’s boss around here. Eyes narrowed, he began to climb the tree again. It took him two tries this time, to hang onto the branch, in the same position he had been prior to his fall. Izzy glanced at him, an eyebrow raised and he huffed, what could be interpreted as a smirk on his expression. Challenge accepted. TAG: OPEN NOTES: feel free to join~

[Taylor Kendricks]

tears, falling from my cheek, add to

Taylor hummed to herself as she tucked some of her hair behind her ear, not even seeming remotely concerned about the fact that her partner was slightly limping as she walked behind her. The Gazimon had taken a few punishing blows today from her opponent, a Salamon, but the Rookie Virus had come out ahead, making use of all of her Tamer's training and cunning to be able to win the fight. Of course, the Rookie wasn't the type to complain. If Taylor told her to fight, she would without a second's hesitation. Besides, it had been a rather dirty trick to pull something like that in the first place, she'd decided. The Salamon had went straight for her leg to try to knock her out, and it was all she could do to keep the damage down to a limp. "That was clumsy, Felix," she stated, pausing to cross her arms and spinning on her heel to glare at the Gizamon. "Clumsy and stupid. You're not allowed to lose. It makes me look bad, and I'm the leader, so I'm supposed to be invincible." Her crystal eyes narrowed a little. "If you fuck up like that again, there will be hell to pay, got it?" She waited for a moment only to hear a crashing sound, like something coming through the brush, and immediately she tensed up, expecting a large Digimon. "Felix," she commanded in her usual no-nonsense tone, and immediately the Gazimon gritted her teeth, running forward and preparing to fight in case there was anything dangerous. After all, it wouldn't be the first time the pair had been ambushed after a victory back at the warehouse where they usually fought. The sore losers always irritated her, to the point where she would break the rule of her gang and punish them herself to make an example out of them. No one made a move on her or on Felix if they didn't want to be beaten within an inch of their life. No one. The Gazimon crept forward warily through the remaining brush, on guard for an attack as she brushed aside some branches to glance out at the clearing ahead. The sight of a girl and a Ryudamon in a tree were enough to relax Felix slightly, but she glanced around the open space for a few moments more to make sure there was no threat before she returned to the human's side. "Just a Tamer and a Ryudamon," the Digimon reported, ears twitching. "No threat to us." "No threat, hmm?" the woman stated, grinning a little. “What do you say to… proving how weak they are in this world then, hmm?” Oh, it had been a long time since she'd toyed with anyone outside of the gang, not to mention that with Dimitri being gone for some reason or another, she was feeling rather... antsy and eager to cause some trouble. It was why she'd picked a fight with a handful of her underlings, and it was why she now carefully strode through the brush, adopting the unfamiliar mannerisms of a quiet girl. Following her lead, Felix scampered ahead of her, the usually grumpy Gazimon indulging his Tamer in this. "Hi there!" the canine-like Digimon called. "Do you know the way to the nearest city? My Tamer and I got attacked by a really big Digimon and we can't find our way back to the road!" Really, Taylor just wanted to pick a fight, but she was going to do it in a way that would ensure it would happen, and that meant doing a quick size-up before she cast off the shy femininity and attacked like the ruthless gang leader that she was.
