[amygdalae]

[Yeah, so. Still no Bruce on this D-Terminal, sorry. It's Floramon, once again, and this time he just looks even more worried than ever, if that was even possible.]

So... uh. [He shifts uneasily for a moment, looking pretty much like the world's most uncertain Digimon right now--which probably isn't that all far from the truth.] Bruce hasn't talked to me at all since we got to Hospitown.

[Pause.]

I'm not even sure what the problem is, this time. He just... doesn't talk. I tried to talk to him a couple of times already, but he just either doesn't respond or just says something like 'Later' and then stays in his room and doesn't come out. I asked him once if it was something I did and he said he wasn't but he still isn't talking to me at all and I...

[He just wilts here, this time. Almost literally wilts because with all of this happening, Floramon is becoming sure of one thing:]

I'm useless, aren't I? Maybe that's why he doesn't want me anymore.

Comments

[amygdalae]

...I guess it wouldn't hurt to try...

[But man... where does he even start? Floramon's a bit lost on that.]

[amygdalae]

That doesn't mean I'm going to start attacking him!

[Video]

[amygdalae]

I... don't really know. I mean, we got attacked by a Gesomon while on San Franciso, but that's about it. And we all got out okay!

[revvinguptheharley]

Well you could attack other people? Show him that without his guidance and communication you will just fly off the handle. That'll get you all the attention you need.

[amygdalae]

I'm not attacking other people, either!

[revvinguptheharley]

Well then obviously you just don't want it bad enough.

[video]

[alley_kit]

Aw... Don't say that. I'm sure he still likes you.

[Kit wants to pet you through the screen Floramon.]

What's he do when he goes into his room by himself? Is he working on something? Cause sometimes if something's a surprise he might not want anybody to find out what it is til it's done.

[amygdalae]

What's wrong with you? Attacking anybody isn't the way to do things in the first place!

[video]

[amygdalae]

I don't know... [He shakes his head slightly here.] Sometimes he looks at the Terminal when he remembers its there, but usually he just sits in a funny position and just kind of closes his eyes. He can do it for hours.

[revvinguptheharley]

Alright alright, I see what you're saying. But let me ask...have you tried not attacking people? And has that gotten you the desired results or attention you want?

Well then clearly the only solution is to act out.

You don't even have to attack people! Just break some stuff. Maybe start a fire or two.

Re: [video]

[alley_kit]

Sits in a... Oh! Does it look kinda like this?

[She props the D-terminal up against something, then moves back til the camera can see all of her, taking up the meditative pose she'd learned from Aburn and closing her eyes.]

[brokenground]

That's the spirit. All we can ever do is give it a go, and persist until we know absolutely it isn't working, even if it takes a while. ... I do hope something works though.

[No digimon deserved a partner that didn't treat them like one..]

[Video]

[acceptedburden]

Hmm.

And what happened during the attack. You got out okay, but were any injuries received in the process. How did you manage to fend off the digimon?

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

I dunno...Some Chosen are just really bad with having partners...

[amygdalae]

Me too... I don't know how Bruce feels about me, but I really like him. The first time we met, he told me that the moment I thought he was being a bad partner, I should leave him and find a better partner.

...nobody really says these kind of things, you know?

[amygdalae]

Well, no, but--that doesn't mean I'm going to hurt others just to get his attention!

[Video]

[amygdalae]

No, we all got out fine... and well, Port digivolved then to save us, but neither Tony nor Bruce seemed to be affected by that.

[video]

[amygdalae]

[Floramon looks for a moment, blinking, and when she assumes the pose he quickly nods, eyes lighting up.]

Yeah, like that! Well, its a bit different, but its similar.

[video]

[amygdalae]

Yeah... but I just wish I knew what was going on with Bruce so that I could help him...

[revvinguptheharley]

Well I said you didn't have to. You could just break stuff. Or fires. Fires are very eye catching.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Not much you can do until he decides to tell you. All you can do right now is let him know you're there for him.

[brokenground]

... I don't think our partners really understand that .. that's not how it works. We can't just find some other person walking around. For better or worse, it's them we're here for. We waited for them, not some other person.

[Bruce was stuck with his partners, whether he liked it or not.]

.... I don't suppose more hugs are an option. Some humans respond well to them, but others flip out.

Re: [video]

[alley_kit]

[Kit shifts back to a normal pose and picks up the D-terminal again.]

Well, then that means he's meditating. My friend Aburn- not my partner here, my friend back home who he's named after- does it all the time, and tried to teach me to do it too. I'm not as good as he is, though.

He says it's a good way to understand things. So maybe there's some stuff your partner is trying really hard to understand?

[video]

[amygdalae]

I don't really like all this waiting I've had to do. I've been waiting since the start and we still haven't gotten anywhere at all! If anything, it's just gotten worse.

[Yes, Floramon may be kind of frustrated about this.]

[amygdalae]

Yeah, I explained that to him before, but then he didn't seem happy about it after I said it.

[Shuffles for a bit here. Really, the more he talks, the more Floramon realizes how little he knows about Bruce... its not a pleasant though.]

And I'm not sure if a hug will work... he doesn't seem like the touchy kind of person. [The complete opposite of Tony, really. Floramon wonders again how he and Tony can actually be friends.]
