[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.]

You guys alright over there?
[Video]
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.]
Re: [Video]
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?]
[Video]
All right, maybe they might've surprised me. A little.
Re: [Video]
[Video]
[Or ghost digimon. Something like that. They maybe, sort of, possibly watched a terrible horror flick before they came to the house.]
Re: [Video]
Um, you do realize there are Ghost Digimon, right?
[Video]
[His eyes shift back and forth. Then he leans in, eyes focusing on Venom] ...You ever run into one before?
Re: [Video]
No, Can't say I have.
[Video]
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.]
Re: [Video]
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.]
[Video]
Haven't you heard the rumors?! What they do to you if they get angry...
Re: [Video]
If you're that worried about what they could do, just don't anger them.
[That seems sensible enough to her anyway.]
[Video]
They steal your body.
Re: [Video]
Just cause.]
...I don't think they do.
[OR do they?]
[Video]
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?
Re: [Video]
[She can tell.]
I don't think that's what sleepwalking is at all.
[Video]
Fine. We'll try talking.
But if anything happens to us, you have to tell everyone we went out fighting.
Re: [Video]
Okay fine, if anything happens I'll tell everyone you went out fighting.
Happy?
[Video]
Re: [Video]
[Video]
It's easy. You just take a bunch of candles and wrangle a bunch of sad people together in one place...
Re: [Video]
[Video]
See? Simple.
As for the candles, I'm sure you could think of something.
Re: [Video]
[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.
