A Place to Call Home. [OPEN. Wild Cards]

[Nicholas Hyde]

"So this is it huh?" Hyde looked up at the massive rig of iron and steel before him. A massive oil rig. After a few days of searching around, he had picked up a lead, someone telling him about a place like this. Apparently the oil well this thing pumped from had long since run dry, the platform left abandoned.

"That's it. Nobody comes by here, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Hyde glanced down on the one they were riding on. A Whamon. While Hyde was still curious as to how a Whamon, something that didn't have hands, was able to contact him about this place, he was glad that he did. "Thanks for the lift buddy." He hesitated for a moment before bumping his fist against the Whamon's body. How do you fist bump a Whamon anyway? Well, he can ponder that, along with the other mysteries of the universe later. Right now, it was time to check this place out!

Whamon had brought them over to a ladder along one of the support legs. With Sable behind him, the pair made their way up. Hyde then immediately decided they would need to find another way to get here. Climbing this long ass ladder up and down was just ridiculous. The pair took a small breather once they finally reached the top.

The place had long since been abandoned, but looked to be in good condition. Maybe a few repairs here and there, some renovations over there, and this place would make a good headquarters. They could probably remove the oil pumps, make some space. "Not too shabby," Hyde mused to himself, "Now to see what the others think of it." Sabler glanced up at him. "You're going to bring them up here?" When the idea of forming the group came to Hyde's mind, he set out to find any individuals that would be interested. It took him some time, but he managed to find a couple. "They should be arriving soon," Hyde replied, "I sent them the location of this place this morning."

Sable was quiet for a moment. "Um, isn't the reason we rode Whamon out here was to check that this place existed?" Hyde nodded. "Yep." "Then, what would have happened if this place wasn't here? They'd digiport right into the ocean." "We'd have Whamon there to pick them up." Sable gave him a flat expression. Well, she would have, had her face not been covered by a visor.

[FERGHUS]

"Well matey, this here's your stop. Old rig makes me jumpier than a sugared up Dolphmon by mere sight of it. Don't know what possessed ye ter meet with a potential employer here, but that isn't my business."

This Ogremon had been rather patient with the old man's whims. A mercenary group was something Ferghus always had in mind, but was never quite sure about dealing with the inner politics of working under a boss. Or being one for that matter. Some distance away the lion noticed difficult to see figures atop a Whamon of all things, which by process of elimination must be who he needed to meet. Still, caution was of significance. It could be a trap despite how legitimate the inner details seemed.

Pushing his foot off the front end of the rickety boat, which had seen better days, the lion sighed, "Regardless, thanks fer the lift. Ah've got a port set gettin' off that rig if need be. Don't gotta git closer if'n yew don't want. Close enough Ah can just swim there. Everythang Ah own is with me, so don't worry none 'bout me leavin' shit all over yer boat." Standing atop the front end, Ferghus readied himself for a decent swim. Might as well get some exercise out of this trip. He rolled his shoulders, stretching himself out. After all, even relatively calm waters can prove dangerous.

Captain Ogremon back at the wheel shook his head, "Just shoot a signal flare or somethin' if ya need help getting out of a mess. Shouldn't be too far away fer this old girl to rush back and grab ye. Be careful."

Nodding, Ferghus bent his body so his hands reached the platform beneath him, and pushed off leaping into the water. His mass created almost a thud instead of a simple splash, water tossed everywhere as the old man stroked his massive arms forward. How long did this take? A half hour? An hour? No clocks were floating nearby, with the subtle caws of the few avian creatures about and the lightly waving sea. Perhaps this was the danger of the ocean sailors like that kindly Ogremon felt when out on a strange trek in the middle of nowhere. Focus needed to be retained on his current task. Closer and closer came the support pillar he needed, with a ladder hanging low enough for the old lion to reach.

Grabbing a tight hold on the support pillar's ladder, a grunt escaped his throat, his muscular body heaved out of the drenching liquid below. Ferghus's body forced some of the excess water to crash back into the sea, relieving him of some extra weight. His mane, his face, and even that now useless spot behind his eye patch could feel water holding onto him, as though lost souls desired to pull him back in and to an untimely death. But Ferghus was a stubborn one, reaching the top and pulling his still drenched body onto the platform. He sighed once his feet planted on the metallic floor, placing hands on knees as he panted a bit.

But reality would hit him. The old man was on the OTHER side of the rig. Rolling his eyes he grumbled some profanities under his breath, albeit, grateful this was the top platform to make a simple jog easy enough to manage. Pounding and tapping of massive feet against steel almost echoed through the the open rig, his own form being some intimidating force in an abandoned architecture. Perfect time to create a horror movie. Because that sort of scenario was totally what the old man was up for today!

Still, Ferghus reached his destination, seeing the human male and his digimon who reached the other end of the rig. Clearing his throat, the old lion called out as he arrived closer, "Ya'll who Ah'm supposed ter report to? This here rig better be as gewd fer use as yew told me befer."

[Karisa]

Karisa

Karisa yawned softly as she would lean back on her bed at some hotel she decided to stay at. Slowly she would slide her hands dragging it against her sides towards her hips ever so slowly and then to her pockets to get her phone. Bringing it close to her face she would open it and look at the message she got from Hyde. He seemed to want to talk to her about something in which she became curious. Her eyes half way closed and mumbled a few words looking then over towards the window as she closed her phone. ''Naku...Should we go now then?'' she asked him softly and sweetly making a sweet smile. He stood there quiet looking outside as if he was thinking as well. ''Let's go for a swim then shall we?~''she speaks sweetly in a happy tune.

SPOILER: Click to show

Slowly she would press her hands against the bed to get up and then grabbed her bag. Naku would just follow as she headed out of the door and the house. Her eyes looked up with a small smile as she was wearing a skirt with shorts under and a shirt with some other things. The sun was rising brightly upon her snow white hair, her eyes of blood and oceans were glazing and shining like jewels. ''Kwah!~ It's so beautiful outside. Maybe I should...get a bi-'' she was about to say till Naku picked her up, sat her on his shoulder and went off towards the ocean. ''Okay okay! I get it.'' she spoke and then mumbled. They would go towards the waters and there the big bear Naku would touch the water slowly then turning into a body of water himself. ''A-are you sure about this now?'' she asked nervously as she was afraid of just going through him as he seemed to be just water. He nodded trusting him as she would always and then he went in.

Going in the water she would drift off into the ocean and forward towards where Hyde was supposedly located. What did he have to say to her? What did he need? Was he in trouble? She felt nervous as to what it could be making her uneasy about this. ''Calm, you wouldn't want to black out again. I don't feel like saving you in the middle of the ocean.'' he spoke as he continued to board across the ocean. She would nod and start to hum. After some moments that were countless she would see something standing there...or someone as it was a Leomon. It was weird as he was talking to who seemed to by Hyde. Was he in trouble? Maybe not, but she would prepare herself if anything came up. Her eyes lowered as they came to a stop at shore. Slowly Naku would come up into his form and walk beside her. Karisa brushed herself up and looked up at Hyde. ''Nicholas!~'' she yelled out waving with a bright smile. Walking to skipping towards him she would stop being next to the Leomon. ''H-hai, you messaged?~'' She would say softly and looked straight up at her friend trying to not blush or get shy.

Heart Breaker

The air was rather nice today especially since he was flying on the back of an airdramon. The water below shimmered and the sky was a lovely blue. An old oil rig marred the beauty. It could use some sprucing up but seemed a decent enough place.

"Your scales are such a lovely color in this lighting sweetness." Degas commented the Airdramon. It was really the only reason it had agreed to fly him out here.

Oh yes a way with words... his inner demon sneered sarcastically. Amazing with words actually. if he couldn't charm them he'd just beat them. A lovely thought either way.

"I am afraid our journey has all but come to an end. Mon charie., do not fret however I'll return to your side." Degas said hugging it's neck.

"You better not. I only agreed to bring you out here to get you away from my nest." The airdramon replied in a deep male voice. "Now get off." it said spinning around and flying upside down til he slipped off.

You deserve this. Yes, yes he knew. He shouldn't have picked a real daddy to call daddy. Idiot...

Degas waved as he fell past the group into the water. He guessed he simply had to swim around and climb up one of the ladders. How'd you even survive the fall... Come now no body kills off the person everyone loves. Right.....I'd say you got brain damage but odds are you don't have one.

Degas huffed as he hulled himself out of the water. He climbed with heavy clothes. He hated physical labor....unless it was something enjoyable. He reached the top and shook off.

"So where's the party." He said shedding his wet shirt and winking at the Leomon.

[Nicholas Hyde]

Hyde turned when a voice called out to him. The tall man smirked when he saw a Leomon approaching. "Hmm, let me guess. You're Ferghus, right?" Sable gave a small wave as the leomon stood before them. Hyde looked at their surroundings. [cologrey]"Could use a little renovating, but overall the place is in pretty good condition. Yeah, I think this place will do very nicely. I was saying before, maybe remove some of the pumping machinery to make some space, we can easily fit in here, along with some good training facilities and such."[/color]

He was then cut off when a female voice called his name. Hyde blinked and looked over, seeing a white haired girl approaching them. "Um, do I know yo-" then he saw the eyes, "Holy hell! Karisa? You changed your hair? Not bad." he gave her a warm smile before gesturing to Ferghus, "The big guy here's Ferghus. Ferghus, this is Karisa, a friend of mine. And this, I assume is her digimon partner Naku. Nice growth spurt by the way." He took a look around, waiting to see if anyone else turned up, "I do believe we've got a couple more turning u-" He paused when he saw something fall past the side of the oil rig. Something that looked human. Hyde and Sable quickly ran to the edge of the rig, seeing whoever it was hit the water below. Fortunately, they seemed to survive.

"Well...that was certainly an entrance." Sable murmured.

The group waited as the guy climbed his way back up the ladder. Yeah, Hyde was DEFINITELY looking into getting another way to get here. Climbing that ladder all the time would be a pain. Once the guy was finally up, and shirtless, though that wasn't important, Hyde had figured nobody else was turning up. So, time to get to the explanation. "Ok boys and girls, you're probably wondering why I called you all here today. Well, I have a little, business proposal for you all."

He gestured to the oil rig they stood upon, "And what business would be complete without a place of operations. And as of a couple of minutes ago, I've acquired this lovely little place for ourselves."

[Leyton Thomson]

Leyton's motorbike roared across the coast, "Ah, what a beautiful day to be me." his black shades gleamed in the evening sun, his purple jacket blowing in the wind, and his smile was wider than ever. "Ya know, I don't really feel like it... But I should probably start paying attention to that hyde guy... Didn't eh say something about the coast? Err..."

He would soon see what looked like a Seadramon rampantly crashing about the water, "Err, that's one nasty ride..." he mumbled, whistling to the creature. "Yo buddy! You see a one-eyed fella out here? Really skinny, uh looks like a lady from afar?"

The Seadramon heard Leyton over it's fun and came to coast, "Why yes, I did see a human not too long ago riding on the back of a Digimon, I could take you their direction if you want.."

Leyton pondered the Digimon's kindness for a moment... What if this was a trick? What if he was going to take him to the lair of a siren mon or eat him or something... Oo or what if they get lost and a Ranamon saves them... Heh he did like Ranamon, not as sweet as Angewomon but close enough. "Yeah man, I'll take a ride."

The titanic beast lowered its head and Leyton stepped on to its golden dome piece. The beast would keep its head above water as they waded through the ocean with great gusto. They would soon arrive in the presence of some sort of metal trash heap. Was this Hyde's thing? Hanging out in trash heaps? "Ey man take me up there please" he tapped the Hydramon's head and it followed his commands. raising it's massive body up to the rig's platform.

The handsome white hair hopped onto the metal abominarion and waved off his new pal, "Hey see ya Seadramon! If you ever see me again, don't be a stranger!" the Seadramon went back into the murky deeps, leaving Leyton on... Whatever this was. "Yo! Who's out here?"

[Drum]

[googlefont="Ubuntu"]

Sky above me. Earth below me. Fire within me. "I still don't know what to make of that Hyde character." Drum wondered to himself, currently riding atop the head of an Ikkakumon who had graciously offered to take him all the way where he needed to go and encounter Hyde and whoever else the man decided to approach to join this team of his. "Humans are weird; though there was a Pawchessmon with him; perhaps he is one of this tamers I heard about so much before?" Looking down at the Ikkakumon he voiced his question. "What do you think, Big Guy?" The Ikkakumon merely shrugged, almost disentangling Drum off his head because of the motion. "R-right... oh there it is!" Pointing in the distance at the oil rig, the Ikkakumon speeded a little bit and in no time at all Drum was staring up and up and up at the massive building. "That's... really tall..." Drum felt a bead of sweat work down the side of his face as he realized he'd have to climb all the way up, thank the sovereigns there was a damn ladder otherwise this might have been the challenge of his life. "Right," Crackling his knuckles the Drumdramon started to climb up the ladder, not seeing the Ikkakumon rolling his eyes at the unthankful Digimon before swimming away. He stopped momentarily almost halfway up the structure when he saw something falling down to the waters below, raising a brow at the strange phenomenon before deeming it as not important and continued his ascent up the ladder. Almost at the top he managed to spot a Hyde and his Digimon looking down at the rim of the top, probably to see what was the thing that fell down from the sky and to the waters below. "Oi! What's the big idea to have this thing all the way on some random ass place on the sea?" Drum said in lieu of a greeting once he finally reached the top of the ladder, his breath coming up ragged because of the energy he had to spend to climb all the way up here, it didn't help that he was so small and thus needed to excerpt more energy doing so. Once he finally regained his breathing he saw that there were others already present alongside Hyde and Sable; one worthy of note was the muscular Leomon who towered over everyone -and especially him with his tiny size- with his giant size. "Um..." Shifting awkwardly where he stood the Drumdramon waved a paw in greeting at the others. "Yo, the name's Drum. Wassup?" He tried to keep it cool, no need to act embarrassed in front of everyone that looked much more experienced than him. Shaking away the feelings of inadequacy, he decided that he shouldn't feel nervous at all! He was approached to join this group alongside the others, so Hyde must have seen something in him to have done that. Puffing his chest slightly to appear more important, the tiny Mini Dragon was about to say something before a loud voice in the distance stopped him. "Talk about being late." Drum muttered under his breath to himself, resolutely ignored the fact that he was almost late as well for this meeting.

[FERGHUS]

"Last Ah checked Ah'm the only Leomon named Ferghus around, so ain't gon have an easy time not recognizin' me. But other than that, as long as ya'll puttin' the work ter git this place up and runnin' fer a base, ain't got no problems with me," the lion noted, rolling his shoulders back with a nice crack. He really wanted to swim around more, he had to admit. A good workout like that didn't come often. But the old man would have that opportunity later, considering the others who began to show up. Hyde was an odd one so far, but the air about them would change drastically.

More like have little hope for a serious meeting. A somewhat perky girl that the ringleader of today's shenanigans apparently knew from past experiences. On top of that, the younger man had the courtesy to introduce this girl himself. Struck points leaning towards the good side of Ferghus! After all, the old lion had a fondness for younger folks who actually had some form of manner. A nod bobbed on his thick neck, staring down at the crew beginning to form, "Suppose it's gewd ter meet yew then, darlin'. Though Ah ain't sure why a young gal like yew would wanna join a mercenary group of all thangs."

His thoughts were cut short, leonine ears perking up at the sight of a human figure falling. Past the top platform of the oil rig no less! Just as Hyde and Sable did, Ferghus rushed over to the edge to get a better view. His groan, disgusted at the sheer stupidity of the situation, partnered itself with a pinch to the bridge of his snout. Of course there would be at least one person like the idiot who fell! The Leomon's gaze veered upwards, eyeing the Airdramon who flew off to who knows where. Likely -that- creature happened to be the cause. Returning his gaze towards the boy in the water below, the old cat shouted down, "Boy, Ah ain't gettin' yew up here if'n yer just gonna fall from the damn sky like that! Hope yew best learn yer lesson 'bout how yew arrive next time!"

Once the human boy with supposedly little common sense climbed the later, Ferghus raised a brow at the wink towards him, "If'n yer tryin' ter flirt with me, Ah can do better than yer skinny ass." Perhaps that was a bit -too- much back talk to Airdramon boy, but what's done is done. A couple others showed up, a digimon whom he didn't recgonize, and... was that? It was! That lazy boy resting on that rock who had the annoying ability to transform into a digimon! Granted, Leyton had a better entrance than Mr. Falls From the Sky, so Ferghus didn't have much to say on the matter of Leyton. At least for now. His attention was grabbed by Hyde, who had commenced his speech for those gathered here. A small recap if anything. That was assuming the others would be paying attention.

Grunting, the old bastard folded his arms across his equally massive chest, "Now, Ah know yew mentioned this here's gonna be a mercenary group of some kind or somethin'. Must say though despite it bein' a pain in the ass ter git out here, rig's probably one of the better thangs ter pick fer some privacy. Ain't nobody else in their right mind would come out here fer no reason otherwise. Think yew mentioned yer name in that message? Nicholas Hyde or somethin', right?"

[DegasVilku]

Degas Vilku

Heart Breaker

"Sweet cheeks, this skinny ass would be the best you'd ever ridden." Degas said chuckling but letting it drop for now. He had all the time in the world to play cat and mouse with him later, He could be Tom and Degas could play Jerry.

Idjit, his inner demon muttered. Catching on to his Supernatural lingo. Delightful. Ughh.

"Speaking there over. We got two more asses wading in." Degas said chuckling. "Of course we should all be introduced. Don't you think."

Of course he didn't really care for either one. The white haired one looked lazy so probably not good in bed. Then the other one....well to much trouble to undress.

Hmm, I wonder what accent that is. Country? I could see him in a cowboy hat.... having a good ride. Naked Gazimon.. Oh, you jerk.

"The name is Degas von Vilku. Thief and sexy beast at your service." Degas said smiling.

He was already injoying the group meeting. Though again the thought of sprucing up the place entered his mind. It needed a make over.

Let's see two out of five would be bangs. Not bad. Hyde looked like a bottom thing was he didn't care for the long face. The girl is a yes and so is the Leomon. Hopefully they got more. 

I will hurt you. Sorry darling I like dishing out not recieving pain. ...... I do like catching though. Naked Gazimon, Stop that! Degas kept his smile though he looked slightly irritated now.

Karisa

SPOILER: Click to show

Karisa looked at Hyde with a smile waiting for him to say something. Her eyes cornered then to see the rather tall Leomon. 'I want to pet him...' she thought softly in her head as her eyes sparkled and face blushed. 'I doubt he'll let you.' the darker one spoke within her thoughts as she chuckled darkly. ''Mmm...'' was all that came from her for now as she was thinking till more showed up. Her eyes noticed two strangers and one that she noticed. 'Layton?' she somewhat thought in a surprise. Hyde then started to speak about her hair on how it was white. Turning around to look straight at him she would put her hand behind her head with a sweet smile. ''Y-yes. It's probably not as nice as blue right?'' she giggled making it a somewhat joke even though she did doubt of her white hair. He gestured towards the Leomon introducing him as Ferghus. 'H-huh?' she thought wondering if he was then a digimon that went on his own without a tamer. Turning around with the wind to look up at him straight positioned. ''H-hai! It's nice to meet you.~'' she spoke and bowed her head a little.

She seemed to be somewhat ignored by the others. Karisa didn't mind it much as she could ignore and void their presence easily. Her red and blue eyes looked towards Hyde once more shifting her body to direct towards him as well. Her face blushed slightly as she thought of herself petting Ferghus. 'His fur must be so soft...' she thought and then heard Hyde speak.

Ok boys and girls, you're probably wondering why I called you all here today. Well, I have a little, business proposal for you all."

She heard him say making her head tilt a little. ''A business proposal?'' she questioned softly. Her head tilted back straight as she plays with her long white hair that looked like marshmallows. ''Well...I did say I would offer my hand if you needed help...What is this business proposal?'' she questioned softly to Hyde shyly although with no stuttering. She was trying to not stutter...

"And what business would be complete without a place of operations. And as of a couple of minutes ago, I've acquired this lovely little place for ourselves."

She blinked still confused on what business he was talking about. The only thing Hyde messaged her was that he wanted to speak to her. Was this all that was needed? Her mind went into millions of places as there were different types of businesses. Some that even made her face turn red...

Nicholas Hyde

[Nicholas Hyde]

"I like it," Hyde said with a smile in reference to Karisa's hair. He also nodded when Ferghus asked if he was Hyde. When he heard the one called Degas speak more, his expression fell slightly. He had a feeling the guy was going to be a little bit of trouble. But hey, if he was willing to help, Hyde was going to take all the help he could get. Then he heard Leyton calling out from somewhere on the rig. "Over here!" Hyde called. So, the guy had turned up. He wasn't quite sure what to make of the guy, but he was strong at least. Finally, the Digimon whom he assumed was Drum arrived. Guess that was everyone, as far as Hyde knew.

Once everyone was gathered, Hyde moved over to a raised platform. If he was going to give a speech and explain himself, he may as well do it properly.

"Alright boys and girls. As I was saying, I brought you all here today for a little business proposal!" Slowly, the man began to pace back and forth, "As many of you may be all too aware, this world is slow, but surely, turning to shit. The Seven are coming back, already snatching up territory, and you can bet the Olympians are gearing up for a fight. It won't be long before the shit hits the fan and the digital world is engulfed in war all over again. And you can also bet that each of us is going to get dragged into it, whether we like it or not.

Now, they way I see it, there are two options. Either A. We choose a side, or B. We get our side chosen for us."

Hyde paused and then smirked.

"Naturally, I chose the third option."

He turned to the group. "Honestly, whoever wins this war, it's no skin off my nose. As far as I'm concerned, all it matters about is who sits in the bit boy chair at the top. But what do we get out of it? Those of us actually fighting for them? Well, I say, if they want us fighting their battles for them, they'd better make it worth our while. They want us, they're going to have to pay us! They want to try and force us? Well, we'll show them just what a bunch of pissed off fighters can do when banded together. In this upcoming war game, we're the damn Wild Cards!"

Nicholas' smile was broad, "So what do you guys say? Fight for a cause you may or may not believe in? Or fight and actually get paid for it?"

[Leyton Thomson]

Leyton looked down at his nails, studying the follicles with a bored expression upon his face, it appears the blank stare he had in the human had returned, especially with the rambling of this so called 'genius' leader. Ugh to think there were better things Leyton could be doing with his afternoon, he could have been in bed right now asleep while his lady love cooked him lunch, but nope he subscribed to what he thought was an online Poker forum and ended up here.

He let out a yawn as the "leader" gave his little speech, clearly not amused with Hyde's quips at all, "Dude, short version!"he called followed by another yawn. This was what he woke up for, to think he could have been spending the past few hours trying to meet hummingbird, or talking on the phone with Andrea.

With a solemn clap, he tilted his head, "Was that all?" he looked around the rig, with an arched brow "Nothing else? Not one big word in there, no rousing words of fury, just that? I got out of bed for that?" for a moment he sucked his teeth and threw his head back. "This motherfu..." he mumbled under his breath.

"That was highly anti-climatic and you could have told us that on the phone in a group message."

The white hair wasn't pissed, well he was a little pissed for coming all the way out here for a speech not even a good one. Leyton bit his lower lip and shook his head at Hyde."Man, you came straight out of a comic strip." the young man was calling the one eye animated, two-D, and flat.

[Drum]

[googlefont="Ubuntu"]

Sky above me. Earth below me. Fire within me. The Drumdramon kept an ear out but put most of his focus on this Nicholas Hyde character, though he couldn't help but snort at Degas and Ferghus speaking off to the side; the human a strange one as he immediately made his desires to mate with the Leomom be know to the others with how easy their conversation washed over to his direction. Looking back at Hyde he watched him as he stepped up tp a higher platform so he could see everyone and potentially have everyone's attention before he started his speech. He wasn't a fool, he had heard the rumors of things happening on the horizon, rumors and gossip stirring through the mill even from where he lived with the rest of his kind, and the thought of another war befalling the Digital World made the Mini Dragon shiver in equal part excitement and a healthy dosage of justified fear. So a mercenary group eh? The idea appealed to Drum's adventurous side, not to mention the chance of getting paid and finding booty was high depending on what kind of jobs they got. He knew that mercenaries weren't all sunshine and rainbows, there will come times when he was sure that he'd need to take a job where he would be repulsed at the actions he will need to take; but he resolutely stood fast on his decision to join this team, no reason to back down now that they were all here and willing to listen to Hyde's speech and join his organization. It was also interesting how Karisa's face suddenly started to turn red at the end of Hyde's speech, he threw her a confused look with an eyebrow raised in her direction but choose not to comment on her strange behavior, instead turning back to the man of the hour with a grin on his face. "Count me in, Hyde. The chance of adventure and money is too hard to pass up!" Not to mention getting stronger and stronger as a result. The armored dragon was already feeling excited, shifting slightly from foot to foot with restless energy ready to be unleashed at any moment now. But then the human who screamed before opened his mouth and decided to be a total killjoy, earning an irritated glare in his direction. "Way to be a total buzzkill, jackass." Even though he was small as all get out he still stood tall against the highly annoying white-haired human. The Drumdramon made to motion at himself and Ferghus, the only two Digimon without a human partner in this little meeting. "If you haven't realized, we don't possess any sort of device of that kind that would let us communicate with the lot of you, and sooner or later we'd have to come all the way over here anyway since this will be the building of operations for this organization." Crossing his small arms across his armored chest he gave the human a pointed look. "Instead of going all oh woe is me, why dontcha just leave if you have much better things to do, eh pretty boy?" He felt his tail trash from side to side behind him but he ignored it. "No skin off my nose if you scram." He even made a point to look down at his claws, an air of indifference wafting off of him.

[FERGHUS]

Did this kid just try to one up his experience in the more adult oriented activities? "Yew don't wanna know how deep Ah've gone, boy," Ferghus retorted towards the skinny kid who insisted his ass would be the best thing in bed. Really, the old man doubted these words, being nothing more than talk with nothing to back it up. Airdramon Boy, okay so Degas had a name to go by now, was no longer a priority. Hyde had continued his speech, if it could be called that even. A rather sneaky tactic to go by, but not one with a lot of grandeur to it. But then, Ferghus wouldn't have to kill himself to find another client along the way.

"Well Ah'm gon be a selfish piece of shit and take yer offer. If'n yew want a more honest answer, there's few Ah care about in this here world nowadays, and mah only intent is to make sure everythang's awright in mah personal life," the lion confirmed. He wasn't afraid to admit this to Jupitermon, so why should he be afraid to do so in front of Hyde? Really, the old man wasn't taken aback by someone like him. At least not at the moment. He was unable to predict what true potential Hyde held with him, the same going for the others gathered.

But yet, an argument just had to start. Of course it involved Leyton. Sighing, the Leomon snarled at the white haired boy and the minidragon, "Both ya'll quit talkin'! If anyone don't care fer joinin', just up and leave! Don't be idiots and go at each other's throats fer no gaddang reason! Ain't the place fer that crap, nor am Ah in the mood fer separatin' ya'll!" He wasn't going to bother getting on Leyton's sorry ass further. From what Ferghus gathered, there was no point in trying to convince that boy.

Although the Drum kid seemed to lack certain knowledge that he should have learned as a digimon without a tamer. Better the old lion enlightened him, "As fer yew Drum, don't yew know a few thangs a digimon can do by himself? Yew got yer own way of communicatin' fer the sheer fact yer made of data, and whatever form that takes ain't up ter me. Clearly there ain't no way yew been away from home fer that long ter not know this. But if yew want a physical thang, go figure that one out yerself."

Karisa stood there listening to Hyde as he started to talk about on how one person could do something for free or for money. She knew that money sounded better as people need money to live, survive and such. She knew much about it as she has killed people for money, same thing right? She would make her usual small sweet smile as she would listen still. After he was done though she heard the one with white hair, Layton...rant on how it sounded like he was from some comic strip. He sounded rude towards Hyde in which she didn't like. It may be a silly idea, but some of it sounded true. She wanted to say something and therefore she kind of did. Before she could though, someone opened their mouth and went after layton. 'Here we go...' she thought, crossing her arms against her chest.

Her eyes cornered, looked up and heard the Leomon speak first towards the two. She held her tongue, her anger as she normally and innocently looked at Hyde. She wanted to give an assure smile that it'll be alright. ''I don't mind. I mean...I did say I would help out on anything, right?'' she speaks sweetly in her usual soft-soothing tone. She ignored the situration at hand, but in a way she didnt. Turning a little, looking at Layton she spoke in a rather serious womanly tone. ''Everyone has their ideals, Layton. Behave please.'' she speaks with a small frown. She didn't want to fight him. Not because he's probably stronger than her, but because she just didn't want to fight him.
