[Video // Second Transformation]

[For all you night owls out there, Vanguard decides that now (just five minutes past midnight in an abandoned house at the edge of HospiTown) is the perfect time to voice his displeasure.:]

As you are all my witness, there is nothing here, there's no such things as ghosts, and if this rickety old house comes crashing down on our heads, it's Bumblebee's fault.

[Bumblebee shines his flashlight back at Vanguard and the D-terminal with an amused smile, Vanguard gives an indignant scoff.]

I'm not scared. I'm annoyed

[Bumblebee laughs silently, patting Vanguard as he moves past. Vanguard murmurs irately and paws his impeccably groomed mane back into place. Ghosts may not exist, but Digimon ghost types certainly exist. Even the small ones are a pain to deal with, dispatched with a good fireball. But the higher level ones? Best to stay away from those altogether.]

Can we just go now?

[Bee sighs. Fine, they can head home, if that's what he wants. Of course, that's when the camera catches a glimpse of something: moonlight pouring in from a window flickers on the wall behind him, like a shadow dashing across the light. Floorboards in the distance give off a terrible groan, wood creaking under something's weight. The orb of light from Bumblebee's flashlight creeps down the long, dark corridor. The beam hardly penetrates the stifling darkness to reveal a room at the end of the hallway, its door half fallen off its hinges.]

[The D-terminal's camera starts to shake from unsteady hands. And as camera focuses, two slivers of light stare back at them. Soft mumbling carries down the hallway as the D-terminal's shaking intensifies.]

[Bumblebee, stricken more with curiosity and wariness than fear, takes a tentative step forward. Bewildered, Vanguard snatches Bumblebee's sleeve]

What're you doing-!?

[As if in response to the noise, the two slivers of eyes disappear into the dark. A voice that is neither Bumblebee's nor Vanguard's hisses vehemently right next to the D-terminal:]

-can't take it from me!

[The inhuman noise that comes from Vanguard is so panicked and high pitched, it's practically comical. His flailing knocks the flashlight from Bee's hand, and the D-Terminal goes sailing with it. Both hit the ground with a clatter.]

[The last thing the feed picks up is the sound of rapid footsteps in the dark. The feed cuts.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Cyber Venom the DORUmon appears on screen. It looks like whatever the commotion was woke her up. Be thankful she's the only one that woke up so far.]

You guys alright over there?

[~~Lucky, inded! Wouldn't want a cranky spider lady on their hands~~]

We're fine. Why wouldn't we be fine? Don't I look fine?

[Vanguard is lying through his teeth, he is absolutely rattled.]

[She tilts her head and just gives him a look.]

Uh huh. And my partner's really a sweet little girl that picks flowers and weaves them into crowns.

[Can you tell she doesn't believe you?]

[Well that's awful dainty of Blackarachnia to make flower cr-- Right. Sarcasm.]

All right, maybe they might've surprised me. A little.

...It looks more like 'a lot' from my point of view. So what jumped out at you?

It looked like one of those[You know...] ghosts.

[Or ghost digimon. Something like that. They maybe, sort of, possibly watched a terrible horror flick before they came to the house.]

[....Venom raises an eyebrow slightly.]

Um, you do realize there are Ghost Digimon, right?

Course I do! That's what I meant!

[His eyes shift back and forth. Then he leans in, eyes focusing on Venom] ...You ever run into one before?

[She just kind of pulls back a little from her screen as he leans in and then... shakes her head.]

No, Can't say I have.

[Darn. Well there goes asking for any help. ~~And yes, Venom totally called him out on forgetting about those pesky ghost digis~~]

Now what am I supposed to do.

Bee wants to see if we can talk to it...

[He says it with a scowl, like it's a terrible, terrible, no good idea.]

[HA! She knew it!]

Talking to it couldn't hurt. Unless you don't think you can handle a ghost digimon if it doesn't work out.

[She thinks it's a good idea.]

Edited 2014-01-27 05:09 (UTC)

Can't hurt? That's what you think now.

Haven't you heard the rumors?! What they do to you if they get angry...

Well, yeah. I'm not the idiot that went running off to go find them.

If you're that worried about what they could do, just don't anger them.

[That seems sensible enough to her anyway.]

Edited 2014-01-27 06:22 (UTC)

[A sensible solution! And Vanguard definitely hears Venom. But Vanguard just HAS to lean in and finish that line of thought with an ominous voice because... just because.]

They steal your body.

[She pulls back and can you SEE her skeptical look. Vanguard, whatever movie you've been watching, she never wants to see it.

Just cause.]

...I don't think they do.

[OR do they?]

[It was a terrible movie, and also Vanguard's partner is terrible because he spent the trek over to the house by telling him stories from Earth and they're standing in a supposedly haunted house and-

Vanguard is just not in a good place to exercise a whole lot of common sense.]

How could you know? You said yourself you've never met one, right?

I mean... what if that's what sleepwalking is?

Well... No, I haven't but that doesn't mean what they say about them has to be true!

[She can tell.]

I don't think that's what sleepwalking is at all.

[Vanguard considers Venom for another few moments before he relents.]

Fine. We'll try talking.

But if anything happens to us, you have to tell everyone we went out fighting.

[She rolls her eyes a little.]

Okay fine, if anything happens I'll tell everyone you went out fighting.

Happy?

And hold a candle light vigil.

What? Not way! I am not holding a candle light vigil for you.

Edited 2014-01-29 04:09 (UTC)

And just why not?

It's easy. You just take a bunch of candles and wrangle a bunch of sad people together in one place...

And where exactly am I going to find that many candles!? ...Or that many 'sad people'?

Get your partner! She's pretty when she's not being totally scary. Just give her a candle, and someone'll want to say hi to her anyway. When they're close enough? Hand him one.

See? Simple.

As for the candles, I'm sure you could think of something.

Edited 2014-01-30 06:07 (UTC)

....Did you just call my partner pretty....?

[Sorry, Venom just honed in on that one word for a few moments before focusing on the rest.]

...My partner isn't that social. Well, unless you're a "bot" or have alcohol... or Ms.Harley.
