[Open] Gem Quest
Who: Seto, Babydmon, and open!
What: Hunting for gems
Where: RGB Ridge
When: Late May
Warnings: None expected, just a little roughhousing
Seto and Babydmon have settled nicely into their partnership over the last little while. They walk the city, perform odd jobs, and do their best to get along with their fellow Tamers and Digimon. (That last bit is mostly Babydmon, she's the friendly one). But there's one continuous source of tension: Babydmon is a hungry growing girl, and she needs gems!
prompt a: the ride over
This eventually leads the two of them to take the train to RGB Ridge. It's a long ride out of town, and they're riding further and further into the wilderness. This...could be dangerous. Maybe they should ask for help...?
Seto's content to look out the window, but Babydmon isn't shy about approaching random other passengers, the small green seahorse floating over and flapping her small wings eagerly.
"Hi! Seto-kun and I are going to hunt for gems! Do you want to come?"
"...Babydmon, don't bother everyone," Seto grouses.
"...he's just stubborn. Come on, it'll be fun!"
Will it, though...? It's up to you.
prompt b: pretty gem paradise
Finally, they step off the train quite far away from town. As promised, the land is bright and beautiful...but they can also hear the calls of wild Digimon as they start up the nearest hill. "We need to be careful," Seto advises his Digimon. It's pretty here, he'd love to sit quietly with her...but they need to stay aware of their surroundings.
"Gems! Glorious gems, I can smell them! They're so close, come on!" She's already floating up the hill at top speed...which isn't super fast, but Seto still has to pick up the pace to catch up to her. It's harder for humans to walk uphill.
"They're not going anywhere...and I don't think they have a smell," Seto observes. He's already packing a few gems into his bag for later.
"Oooh, let's get that one!" She's staring at a green glittering rock, almost as big as her head. She floats down and attempts to stretch her jaw around it. As for Seto...well, he'll settle down and quietly watch her. She's happy. That's the whole reason he's here.
Babydmon finally manages to crunch and munch, and her tail uncurls and flicks happily in the air. Once she has her fill...she giggles and starts zooming around the area, not exactly watching where she's going. Looks like she's about to crash into someone---
prompt c: danger awaits
Seto's bag is bulging with gems by now, and he's feeling rather weighed down. It's time to go home. Darkness approaches, and it won't be safe soon. Babydmon seems sad to leave, but she curls herself around Seto-kun's neck as always.
The train station is almost in sight when something sharp and heavy collides with Seto's arm at top speed, sending him crashing to the ground and the bag flying out of his hand. Gems scatter across the ground.
"Agh! What the---"
His eyes narrow as they land on the assailant---a Falcomon, still baring its claws. The shadows behind it shift, and----oh, great, it has friends. Seto bites back a curse as he pushes himself up with his good arm, stumbling after Babydmon. She'd flown up to face down the other Digimon immediately, and she's already using her hot pepper spray breath on the other Digimon.
...which is just irritating them more. This is. Not good.

Kaiba reaches down once more to retrieve his eager Digimon, and Babydmon takes that as her cue to fly up and curl around his neck. He sighs.
"Her appetite's insatiable, and gems are her favorite. We want to be a strong team."
"Yeah! I'm gonna be a big bad dragon. It's gonna be so cool."
Her human laughs approvingly. She has the right idea. But as for these two...
"What brings you two out here?"
no subject
The humans are going to talk important business, so Wormmon decides he's going to start looking for gems for Babydmon. He is down close to the ground, where gems are likely to be found. So he starts inching around, wondering what makes one of these shiny rocks better than another.
He never strays too far, though. At any moment, Ken-chan could make a new facial expression, or say something very kind and good, and Wormmon doesn't want to miss that!
no subject
His expression is serious. If this is an investigation...maybe he should help. This is very important.
As for Babydmon...she's laughing with Wormmon, making exaggerated *chomps* to try to prove what the hardest gems are.
no subject
Last time they'd encountered the Goblimon, they hadn't known about Dokunemon. Ken hadn't been able to ask any of them why they were doing these things. He hadn't thought to ask. He had been so concerned about Wormmon -
Well, what's done is done. Rather than regret his lack of foresight, better to make the best of what he has in the present.
Wormmon, curious, attempts a chomp of his own. Tears spring to his eyes. This one! This one...is very hard.....it's good....eat it.....
no subject
"We can come with you. They might need gems for their schemes---maybe we'll find something."
Back with the Digimon...Babydmon yelps and hurries over to Seto. "I think Wormmon hurt himself! Seto-kun, we need to buy him an ice cream so his mouth feels better."
Seto sighs. "...all right, but it's a long way back. Think we can hold out until then?"
He looks over, just the slightest bit concerned. This investigation isn't going to go well for them if their partners are hurt.
no subject
Wormmon is curling his mandibles in on themselves and sucking on them so they won't hurt as much. Worried, Ken kneels and offers his partner his arms; Wormmon climbs up, and Ken investigates. "Khn-chn, u wowwy tuu mhhch."
Nothing seems broken. Relief breaks, in turn, over Ken's face. He and Wormmon are going to have a moment here.
no subject
"...I can have ice cream too, right?"
"And you'll get all the toppings and stuff yourself on whipped cream again."
"It's so fluffy though!" Babydmon is a fan of all textures, apparently, not just Hard and Cronchy.
Seto gently pats her. "All right, all right. Why don't we all get some rest? We have some time until the train comes back. You wanted to see the view from here, right?"
It really is a nice view. Expansive plains, glittering gems...it sure looks like paradise to Babydmon. She giggles.
no subject
Wormmon nods - he can still help! He doesn't want to be out of the running because of his own weakness! He wants to do things ~together with Ken-chan~!
no subject
Seto's expression softens---it's strange, but he finds himself grateful for this. It's so kind of them to join in on this quest, even with Wormmon hurt.
"Blue please! And I like them nice and spiky!" Babydmon spins around in a circle, so excited by the thought of this that she can't stay still apparently.
Her human laughs and refocuses his efforts on gems like that, but he'll take a few of the others for variety. "But we have to pace ourselves. You can't eat the entire canyon, there'll be nothing left for later."
This gets a disappointed sigh from Babydmon, but it's all good! She'll flit around the group and pick out her favorite gems. These please!
no subject
"Do oo et peephl food too?" Wormmon asks Babydmon, curious. He's met Digimon with strange palates before, but Digimon who eat rocks are a new one! If he learns more he will become a smart Digimon. If not as smart as Ken-chan.
no subject
Kaiba crouches to help Ken gather a few of those. They're good choices of rock. "Does feeding Wormmon ever give you this much trouble?" he asks.
