Sixth Verse: (Accidental) Video/Action

[Believe it or not, Marley is actually out and about, walking around Terminal Tokyo with a barely noticeable limp. But she's not the one in charge of the D-Terminal. Hawkmon has it, and is recording Marley while on their walk (though really, it seems like he doesn't realize he's recording, considering the view keeps shifting dizzily from one thing to another).]

--can handle this?

I'm all right, Hawkmon. I can't stay in our room forever.

Well, if you think you need to rest, don't be afraid to sit down!

I'm fine. Honest. And I'm feeling better being outside. Just...

[There's a moment's pause before Hawkmon speaks up again.]

Just....what?

Worried. That's all.

Oooooooh....

[There's the sound of something brushing against the mic, the screen going black before Marley comes into view. She's staring down at the screen, wide-eyed.]

Um...Hawkmon. You realize you were recording, right?

...I was?

[Marley nods and offers a small apologetic smile to the network.]

Sorry about that everyone. We'll try to be more careful next time. And--[Deep breath.]--Everyone who's out fighting, please be safe...

[And with that, she turns off the feed.]

[[OOC: Anyone still in the city feel free to run into Marley while she and Hawkmon are walking around!]]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Then it's settled! We can use my apartment, I guess. My roommates, they're...they're off at the Castle, so...

[She probably shouldn't have said that, but it's been said, and after a brief moment of suddenly remembering she's been alone since Leatherhead left, she smiles again.]

We'll get some snacks and drinks, too!

And checking your bandages after that little sprint, right?

Um, yeah...

[Oops. With a quiet, nervous chuckle, she limps back a couple of steps towards the apartments.]

[That limp isn't something that escapes the eye of a predator. Problem is, Kovu's never helped someone who's injured before, and he's never seen anyone else do it either, so he doesn't offer.]

...What happened to you?

[Donnie watched Merley limp, cocern clear on his face. He walked over to her as he listened to Kovu's question.]

Around two weeks ago, Marley, me, and a guy named Ed went into something called a Dark Field. It's... a dangerous place. Both Marley and I got beat up really bad and ... saw some bad things.

[Donnie himself still has a burnt hand bandaged, a long scar on his arm, and various other injuries covered by his clothes. But he puts his hand carefully on Marley's shoulder.]

Do you need any help walking Marley? I'd... be willing to help. I mean, only if you need it of course.

[Under breath] Just confess already you blockheads...

Edited 2013-07-14 05:02 (UTC)

[Marley blinks at the question, her breath hitching in her throat. Flashes of the time spent in the Dark Field, the spotlight, the white light, the red eyes played through her mind one after the other...

She jumps ever so slightly when Donnie's hand rests on her shoulder. She's quick to relax when she notices who it is, a small smile playing on her lips. She doesn't even hear Kamemon's comment (though it doesn't stop Hawkmon from trying to whap the Digi-Turtle again).]

I'm okay. I'll just make sure to rest when we get back.

[The smile is then focused on Lopmon and Kovu.]

My knee got hit pretty bad, and the running didn't help it, but I'll be fine. Honest. Come on.

[Offering one more reassuring smile to Donnie, she starts back to the apartments, still limping. Hawkmon's quick to follow, the bird glancing back to make sure the others were coming, too.]

[Kovu had to wonder what they'd say if they knew some of the things the Outlanders had done just to stay alive. But he figures it's a safe bet they'd rather not. So instead of offering any further words, he simply follows them.

He'd try to cheer them up, but he's still no good at that.]

Well... okay Marley. If your sure, but if you need me to help just say aomething.

[He still walks close behind her, just in case. Kamemon follows, and he just shakes his head.]

Humans... [Under breath] Can't realize they are in love even if it hit them in the face.

[Marley continues on towards the apartments, clearly ignoring Kamemon, and humming to herself. She manages not to stumble on the way back, though by the time they all get back, she's digging her nails into the bandages wrapped around her arms. She smiles despite the pain, turning to face Donnie and Kovu. ]

I can take Kovu upstairs. You want to drop your stuff off, Donnie, and pick up some snacks?

[It's probably asking too much, she realises too late and just decides to continue picking at her bandages.]

[Kovu, of course, doesn't even think to offer aid to Donnie himself, and is already starting to open the door.]

Well? C'mon!

Yeah. I'll just go... do that. Kamemon, you stay with them. I'll be back in a bit. [Walks to his apartment.]

Will you just be patient lion boy? We're getting to it!

[Marley gives Kamemon a stern look before turning to Kovu. She nods her head and then drops her gaze as she walks inside. She continues up the stairs, barely managing to hide a soft whimper by biting down on her lip. She doesn't stop, though, until they're on the second floor and she's standing in front of her door.]

This is it.

[She opens the door and steps inside, followed by Hawkmon. The place is neat, and unusually quiet. With the other two residents off at the Castle, Marley's had the place to herself. She turns smile faintly to Kovu and the others as she motions towards the couch in the living room.]

You can go ahead and sit down if you want. I can get the movie and--

No, you're not. You're sitting down and getting the pressure off that knee.

[Leave it to the little bird Digimon to step in at the right time. Marley looks to start arguing before she sighs and simply limps to the couch and sits down as she's told. An apologetic smile is sent towards her company as Hawkmon goes after the DVD that's in the room they share.]

Sorry...

[The former lion follows her in, thankfully used to...well, most of the kind of stuff that's in a human apartment by now. Marley's is a lot different from his, though.]

You gonna be all right?

[He eyes her knee.]

[Marley nods faintly as she feels the bandages through her pants. She couldn’t feel anything wet on the jean material. The wound to the back of her knee didn’t open back up. That’s good, at least.]

I was told to not over-do it, but I can’t help it. I’ll be okay, though, so long as I remember to stay off it.

[Hawkmon comes out with the DVD and sets it down on the table before turning to Kovu.]

Make sure she stays put. I’m going to get some ice to help with the swelling.

[That’s all that gets said before the bird Digimon takes off for the cafeteria, leaving Marley dumbstruck.]

[Donnie went up to his own apartment.He was only a door down from Marley, so it should take him little time to get his stuff dropped off, get a few snacks, and walk back over. He enteted ad dropped his bags onto the sofa.]

Dude, are you gonna confess to her or not? You like her and it's obvious to jyst about eeryone. Just go for it.

One, I don't like her in that kinda way. Two, even if I did she has a boyfried. And three, I am in lve with April and April only. So please quit bringing it up!

Yeah, yeah. Keep being in denial lover boy.

[Donnie glared as he went into the kitchen and grabbed a few bags of chips and at least one bag of trail mix. He also grabbed some fruit, after Marley told him of her eating disorder, he felt like se might like that better.

Satisfied, he dumped it all into a bag and headed for Marley's apartment... Just a he saw Hawon exit. Curious, he looked inside and saw Markey looking dunstruck, but egot what was going on.]

Marley? [He gave the bag to Kamemon as he walked in. He looked concerned, but stern as well.] Marley, did you over-do it with your injury?

[Donnie enters and just by the look on his face, she can tell she's likely to get another talking to. She turns red, and shrugs her shoulders a little, her gaze dropping to her lap.

Boy this is embarrassing.]

It's sore, but it didn't open up again. Hawkmon's getting ice.

[Another shrug and she motions to the movie on the table.]

I'm told not to get up. Could you...?

[All Kovu does when she replies is nod. He'd made sure to never let himself get injured like that in the Outlands, so he didn't get any of the stuff about it healing. Not using it made sense, at least, unlike most of the things these humans were telling him.]

I'm supposed to keep her from going anywhere.

[He shrugs, not really sure why that should be his job, or why he should care if she doesn't want to make sure she heals well.]

Yeah, no problem. [He picked up the DVD and walked over to the TV, opening the DVD player and placing it in. As he did that, he listened to Kovu's words and turned to look at him. Animal instinct that he guessed that he still had made him a little nervous about setting the guy off.

But while the former lion seemed stoic, he didn't seem necessarily bad, so he figured that he had no reason to feel too anxious.]

Thanks, and good thing too. Because she'll try to do something when she should't.

[The week that he let her stay in his room taught him that. Once the disc was inserted, he went and sat beside Marley. He felt the pink returning to his cheeks, but he ignored it as he now gave Marley a more concerned look.

Are you sure that your okay?

[Marley has to fight to keep from rolling her eyes. Boys. Still, her cheeks flush pink when Donnie sits down next to her.]

I'll be okay. Really. Hawkmon is getting ice, so it won't be so bad.

[She smiles reassuringly to both the boys, settling more comfortably on the couch. It's during the previews when Hawkmon returns with the ice pack.]

I hope you like this movie, Kovu. It's one of my favorites.

Y-yeah.

[Kovu's not sure at all what he's about to see, so he isn't that enthusiastic right now about the whole deal. Maybe once it really starts he can get into it better.]

Just remember that none of this stuff really happened. Humans are really good at faking stuff.

Yep, it's all fake. As if humans could ever survive in a world like in the movie. They'd never make it. [And smack] Ow! Why do you care? Your a turtle!

Just keep quiet and watch it, then you can make sarcastic comments once it's over.

Fine. Party pooper [Pouty face]

Yeah, it's all special effects and acting. Pretend stuff. Oh! It's starting!

[Excuse Marley, but this IS her favorite romantic movie. She smiles and stretches out her injured leg to settle the ice pack on it. It really doesn't take her long to get lost in the movie, and occasionally her lips move in time with the script. Yeah, someone's definitely seen this a lot...]

[For the most part, Kovu sits quietly through the movie, paying attention to both it, and to all Marley's reactions. Somehow, they help him remember that it's all fake.]

Wake me up when they get to the violent parts [Lays down and dozes off

Donnie himself is just watching the movie, not as interested in it as he had been when he saw it the first time. Still better than most of the stuff that he found in the dump though.]

[Marley doesn't even bother to shush Kamemon. She just settles back to watch the movie. With this being her favorite movie, she easily mouths in time the script in certain spots and reacts as if this is her first time watching it. The real thing that gives her away is that she always seems ready for certain parts to happen. She still cries when certain people die, and jumps near the end when the big bads appear.

And by "jumps", she actually makes a small shrieking sound and buries her face in Donatello's shoulder. Hawkmon is actually laughing at her.]

Marley, you've seen this movie how many times? Why are you still so jumpy? You should know it's coming by now.

Sh-Shush!

[Kovu just grins a bit at that, but for the most part he's pretty self-absorbed. Every now and then he'll ask a question or two, and go back to silence once his question's been answered.

For his part, Lopmon just munches popcorn the whole time. These kinds of movies are his favorite, though he can't help but notice his partner tensing up every now and then, at really weird moments. He shrugs it off though, at least until Kovu mentions being hungry when a scene of a guy getting eaten by monsters happened. That gets a pretty odd stare.

The movie's ending puts Kovu in a mood, though, and Lopmon knows that was a bad thing...so he figures he might as well try to do something about it.]

Those monsters were pretty cool, huh Kovu?

[Kovu looks at Lopmon and quirks an eyebrow.]

Yeah, I guess. Not as cool as real lions though.

[Donnie looks at Marley when she buries her head in his shoulder. He gulped slightly as his face turned red. He turned back to the TV, trying hard to not think how right it felt to have Marley close to him.

Once the movie was over, he lightly kicked Kamemon to wake him up. The turtle Digomon groggily sat up.]

Huh? Did anyone die yet?

The movie's over Kamemon, sorry.

Man,I wanted to see the violence. [Pouty face]
