his arm's free and he jerks backwards when ace yanks him back. instinctively, the urge is to grab for a magic that isn't there, which means it is even more disorienting when there's a flash of bright, holy light.
a second later, he's staring at the back of an angel where patamon was. and he just - he laughs? disbelieving, half hysterical, holding his free hand against his arm where he is now gushing blood but still attached. this is a cosmic joke, actually? this is a joke. he looks up, and mutters: Oh, now you're paying attention. ]
Illuminate - ugh. [ but it's also. well. back into the saddle where he belongs. just took a little blood sacrifice! the voice in the back of his head that sounds like castti tells him to get his torn cloak off to wrap it around his arm one handed the best that he can where he's back safe in squishy mage zone, and he grits his teeth and finishes what he'd usually use for a luminescence spell - ] Holy light, illuminate the darkness!
[ "You've got it!" Gabumon's fireball hits, melting away the ice on its eyes, and now it can more easily direct it's horrible, snapping jaws.
Loppy here's the command to attack, and punches with its tiny little fists! It's hard to say if any damage is actually being done, but there's a lot of heart put into the blow.
Patamon, or the angel who was Patamon, hears Temenos' voice loud and clear. It's dramatic, but considering he had his arm nearly torn off, he has so many rights at the moment. Again, their fist glows with the holy light, the resonance between their partner and themselves, and they throw another easy punch at the horrible red creature.
Now it's barely managing to stand and snaps at poor Gabumon, who is now currently stuck in the mouth, but not bitten in half, as they scratch, claw and do everything they can to get out of this.
THIS IS LIKE LUFFY CONSTANTLY BEING EATEN IN CHILDHOOD ALL OVER AGAIN ]
Tem, stay here.
[ away from danger, ace means, because he is not listening to that himself and just going to attempt to jump on top of the digimon's face and attempt to pry the jaw open HIMSELF like an IDIOT FOOL ]
Let go, bastard!
[ they are both going to be eaten i got a four :) ]
[ WHY IS THIS TEAM JUST FULL OF JOCKS AND A CATHOLIC BOY WHO PROBABLY TELLS EVERYONE TO SAVE SEX FOR MARRIAGE ]
Oh, shi — ! [ There’s the sound of teeth gnawing into skin, the wet sound of blood escaping so familiar and sickening it makes his stomach twitch. It’s not just Temenos or Ace, but the idea of any of their companions getting hurt has his heart pounding with adrenaline.
Something, something, something — he needs to do something more than just attempt to pull the beast back.
And so Vane does what he does best and it’s stupid: grabbing onto the hind legs of the digimon and pulling himself on top.
(vine voice) i’m a cowboy baby ]
Loppy, try shooting some ice under his belly!
[ While Lopmon is doing that he’s going to attempt to travel up the back of the digimon. ] And I’m gonna need something to stab this thing with!
[ okay well. listen. temenos is not in a position to tell ace and vane to tell them that they're being stupid considering. that is what started this. him being stupid. however - ]
-- Both of you, [ he hisses, anyway, jolting half upwards and then woozily and immediately having to sit back. not having his magic, his healing in this situation is awful, but he has to trust the light of his partner in the way he trusted his own. his guardian angel, so to speak.
he tries to get up at least a little and falls back, pointless. temenos is too squishy to not. please do not die. ]
Can you form it into a construct? A spear? [ to no-longer-patamon. ] Don't let off, not for a moment!
[ and then because he has to be like this: ] We really should have gone the other way.
[ Gabumon and Ace are absolutely stuck in this monster's maw. The teeth don't bite down hard enough to crush but they do pierce into their sides, and wherever else their bodies meet its fangs. Gabumon knows Ace is here with him, and that's all they really need. If somebody is willing to assist them, even if it's a foolish idea, they'll do everything they can to help them in turn. The bond they share is of trying to protect each other. In a flash of light, they become a large wolf, protecting Ace from further bite damage by shifting their body in the way of the fangs. What's a little injury?
The monster does its best to buck Vane off its back, and barely succeeds, rapidly trashing. Loppy hears their partner's cry and plea, the way that Vane wants to protect their companions. Their desires are the same, and the protection they want to bestow are in alignment. They glow, and in Lopmon's place is a bunny with knives. They don't quite manage to pierce this creature's skin, but they do wound its belly.
"A bit late for what ifs." Temenos please don't get up. The angel nods, holding up the golden rod they've gained upon transformation, and willing the light into creating a spear tip for it. With a five, the rapid movement of the beast makes it impossible to stab into. ]
[ how big is this guy's jaw that it is holding both ace and a giant ass wolf in its mouth right now
which is to say first: oh ok the lizard in a fur coat is now a wolf. and the little bunny is now a bigger bunny. this feels like the most normal change. ]
Hey! Do you still have fire? Can you aim it at its face?
[ ace might be stuck being bitten but he will attempt to like. kick and punch at the inside of the mouth. or the teeth. wherever he can reach. this is probably going to do nothing but he is wriggling despite the injuries because he has stupidly high pain tolerance and zero self-preservation ]
[ Oh, at least he gets to see the transformations this time!! ]
Don’t let up, Loppy, we’re gonna take this guy down!
[ And after that command, he raises his arm and forms his hand into a fist. His other hand holding the digimon by its fur while it trashed about and attempts to drive his fist into its eye. Gross. ]
[ it's not a nat 20 but a 13 is decidedly better than a 5. so where he's holding his arm, tightening the makeshift tourniquet with his teeth, temenos says with a smile: ]
[ It's actually extremely difficult to miss when you're inside of a creature's mouth. The target is really just all around you, so Ace does successfully kick and punch into the mouth. Not that it does too much, human fists aren't the correct match for these creatures. The wolf fares better, spitting bigger blast of fire down it's throat.
Vane, due to the wild thrashing, he's able to hit it in the eye and it makes a pained noise. Loppy tries once again, but somehow, they whiff completely.
On the other hand, Angemon gets the last attack in. They go back to an old classic, and smite the offending monster with a blast of light. The static sweeps across the beast and it's like it never existed... except for the injuries they've retained.
The battle is over! Check for loot... later! Ace, the wolf, and Vane are now falling straight to the ground. ]
Finallyyyyyyy-- [ this is not the right face for it but i like the icon anyway FALLING NOW wooPS ]
Gabu, catch Vane!
[ YOU'RE THE INJURED ONE, IDIOT? HIS BUNNY IS RIGHT THERE? but he's like used to landing on his feet from high distances and stupid acrobatics so he assumes he can right himself and be totally okay with the fall. will the dice let that happen. idk but the point is
And, unfortunately, when Ace calls for Gabu to catch him he gets butterflies in his stomach. He should not be blushing while falling dramatically from a digimon. ]
[ anyway hehalf jolts when they start falling as if he could do anything about this, but once it's safe, temenos sits back, pressing his hand to his injury, and looks to his new angelic friend. ]
...What a tantrum. [ ow. ] My little guardian angel. Are you alright?
[ a beat. ] Are you two alright? [ are YOU alright ]
[ Ace hits the ground with an 11. He takes some fall damage, but he's going to be okay! As okay as he can be, considering the fang wounds in his body. The wolf bounds over to Vane and catches him before he hits the ground. Soft Wolf Landing. "My name is Garurumon now."
Loppy looks so relieved, "We did it!" Everyone is no longer in physical danger! For now!
"My name is Angemon in this form. I'm taller than you are, and I'm hardly injured. That question should be directed at you." YOUR ARM!!! ]
[ brushes himself off as he rolls back up. whatever these are just flesh wounds he ignores his bleeding and is immediately going for the loot!!! if something new is on the ground he must pick it up. someone else take care of tem. like his buddy the angel man. which is to say: ]
Vane, you good? Think you can help Tem out with his arm?
[ Garuru is such a mouthful but somehow cuter. I hate digimon. ]
All good. [ A quick thumbs up as he again avoids eye contact and rushes over to Temenos. ] Luckily for you I found a bandage in the piano! We’ll have you back using both arms in no time — hopefully!
[ does Temenos stop vane from using the BIG BANDAGE ]
[ he says like he is not just bleeding a lot. it's fine. he's pulling his makeshift cloak bandage tight with his teeth at this point, and once it's like, kind of vaguely set, he looks at vane and angemon. ]
... A singular bandage...? [ he sounds extremely skeptical. because of course he does. you heal with grapes you fools ] It's - I think I'm fine. I've had worse.
[ have you. is the music stand still in grabby reach cause he's gonna snag it to try and stand up on his own and use it for leverage, starting to wobble up to his feet, looking from angemon to garurumon to loppy. ]
I see we've... been through some changes. [ our digimon are teens now ] We can carry on. I assume the path has been cleared...?
[ Ace can find this hidden among the grass on the ground. Maybe keep a hold of it.
All three critters go back to their little forms. They're currently not in danger, after all. All three of you know that you're now able to access these forms whenever you need.
The music stand remains, but there are holes in it consistent with being bitten, and dents from where it fell.
Patamon, "The way is clear for now. We should get going." ]
[ treasure!!!! maybe it's worth money!!! pocket time. ace looks at their little guys turning back and just thinks to himself ah, yes. it's like a zoan form. he understands perfectly.
(he does not.) ]
Just wrap your arm with something so you don't bleed out on us. [ the sheer hypocrisy of ace saying that and just doing nothing about his own wounds is ignored as he starts to walk towards their destination again because the hamster said so ] C'mon! Cave time.
[ mildly cheerful sorry he is like |3 adventure hehe reflexively ]
[ While Temenos is talking, Vane's tearing a hefty piece of fabric from his own clothes. If he won't take a bandage, he'll have to take this? And without so much as another word he ties the fabric against the heaviest of the bleeding along his arm -- ] Hold it. [ A warning; he then tugs it hard enough that it won't loosen up with basic movement.
[ he just grunts when vane pulls - he's going to protest, he has a whole ass cloak that is here to be torn!!! - but otherwise doesn't react, because terrible injuries are a part of being a traveler. this is yet again the one hundredth time he hates not being able to heal himself. :nyeh: the wince fades once it's in place, and he looks up to vane, and then nods. ]
...thank you.
[ right. good enough. temenos grabs the dented ass music stand, looks at patamon who is now very tiny again... ] ...fascinating. By your leave, my little angel. [ and then uses the stand like a walking stick and keeps trucking on. temenos might be a twink but he's tuff or something. also he's jut gonna let ace be ace because when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes and that's his own healer creed. (because he also played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.)
patamon's right let's go. what do we see at the cave!!! ]
[ Gabumon follows along with Ace, but also, "You should at least wrap your wounds."
Loppy is trying very hard to stop Ace so Vane can wrap up the currently still free bleeding injuries. "You should take care of yourself first!"
Temenos, who Patamon has decided is fine to walk, actually, is brought to the mouth of the cave. Looking inside, it's not very deep, except for the part where some rocks must have shifted, because there's a passageway further in. There's an unused torch on the wall, but surely somebody here has a fire they could spare.
Everyone else can catch up to Temenos before he goes through the hole in the wall. ]
[ it's easier to ignore vane than it is the two cute critters so UGH FINE he will let himself be bandaged real quick before catching up to temenos to see the cave!!!! ]
anyway!! patamon is his favorite ever because he's just steadfastly ignoring how much his arm hurts in favor of the search for knowledge. he doesn't have a free hand for the torch, but he gestures at it. ]
... Would one of you be so kind? [ this is mostly at ace's cute critter so we can have fire. this is where i'd put my holy light if i HAD ONE. otherwise, temenos will clamber through this hole and into the cave, looking around to ensure they're not going to get immediately jumped by any monsters and keeping an eye on patamon for now.
just to be sure, there's a shallow cave with what looks like a new passageway? anything exciting in the shallow cave? bc if not we're going down the passageway. ]
