[After fumbling with the feed, the owner succeeds in getting it on. The feed turns on to the image of a very large, very apologetic teenager with a rope around his neck. The owner of said rope? An impatient-looking red Impmon.

Needless to say yesterday had been a taxing day for the digimon. If he had to be with this kid, things were going by HIS book, not theirs. Leatherhead went along with Impmon's demands to keep the kid leashed out of guilt for his earlier tantrum. He deserved it, he deserved a lot worse.

Leatherhead looks up to the communicator, speaking.]


I was told I was a Chosen...but I am not sure if that is ri--

[Impmon will have none of that. He tugs on the fashioned rope, clearing his throat.]

ANYWAY, before I was interrupted, I was saying I've got a sweet deal for you digichumps. Ever wanted a digidestined? Well lucky for you, I've got the digidestined of your dreams!

He's big, he's burly, I think he's housebroken and he can be yours for 1000 bits! Any offers?


[The former alligator just sinks back further.]

Come on! It's a once in a lifetime offer!

You-- you put your partner on a leash?! You're selling him?!

[WELL CAM'S ALARMED TO SAY THE LEAST.]
headup_stickontheice: (neither of you spoke)

[Oh. Well. That. Strikes a nerve or two. He's stunned, shocked, and a little bit dazed at the response, almost like he was struck with the words physically.]
headup_stickontheice: (i'll be the first to leave)

[...Then the shock fades to anger.]

Let him go. Now. Or I'll come find you, and I'll make you.
headup_stickontheice: (so i'll be brave)

[He's thankful to talk to the person himself.] That's not-- that doesn't matter! You've, you're just a kid! [Maybe older than Cam is, but that doesn't matter.] And you don't seem...

He's supposed to protect you, not tie you up. [Not call you crazy.]
headup_stickontheice: (neither of you spoke)

[To Impmon:] You, stop that. You ever think being nice might do more good?! [And to Leatherhead:] It's not for the best if you're unhappy.
headup_stickontheice: (then watch the stars descend)

[Cam just. Shoots a look at Impmon. He refuses to respond to him. Instead, he's sort of absorbed by that. That sentence, that statement. His voice is low and raw.] I get that. I, you have no idea how much I get that. But no matter how hopeless it seems, I think, I mean, I've learned that-- ...doesn't...have to be. They're...people, you can talk to.

[Yeah, maybe he's projecting. Maybe he doesn't know the specifics. But he can't help himself.]

I'm Cam. What's your name?
headup_stickontheice: (i can see what's coming)

[personal profile] headup_stickontheice 2013-05-07 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
I know. I know you don't. [He appears uncomfortable; he's remembering the lengths he himself had gone to and they scare him.] But that'll hurt you, and that's...not good.

[He's not very eloquent.]

...Are you in your room right now, Leatherhead? [Odd name, but he takes it in stride.]
headup_stickontheice: (take me‚ take me to the riot)

[personal profile] headup_stickontheice 2013-05-07 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Carefully, very carefully...] Just curious. Which room is it?
headup_stickontheice: (the thunder and the laughter)

[Video --> action]

[personal profile] headup_stickontheice 2013-05-07 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh. [Blink, stare.] ...Oh.

[Well, he seems to almost laugh and the D-Terminal turns off, see. And probably two minutes later, a knock is heard at the dorm door.]
headup_stickontheice: and watch the time go (stay that way for the rest of the day)

[Wow, this guy's tall. No matter. Cam stands in the doorway and shakes his head.] Had to at least come and get that thing off you. [The leash.] Besides, I know the girls who live here. They're really great, they won't let your partner bully you.
headup_stickontheice: (you melt your doubt)

No one deserves to be dragged around on a leash. Come on. Lean down a bit.

[He prompts him to do so, holding out his hands to get the leash out from around his neck.]

They're probably out, work, or...shopping. Lizzy likes shopping. But they're nice. You'll like them, they'll like you.
headup_stickontheice: (it's hard to know that you still care)

I'm sure. And you're no monster.

[He really doesn't want to. Share things. But.]

I, I'm really down on myself too. A lot. And I don't...think I deserve half the nice people I've got. But-- but someone told me recently that I'm not...what people tell me I am. A...psycho, or a nutcase, or crazy.

So, you're-- not a monster. And you seem, I mean... You seem like a nice guy. Lotta people already were...upset, at your Digimon. Gotta stand for something, right?
headup_stickontheice: (crawl into bed and try to forget)

Then...you work through it. Somehow. Find something that...calms you down.

...I think.
