Another day, another tense mission in the Digiworld. No one seems especially happy this trip, Carmella the only one bothering to talk and snap gum and keep things moving as they walk through one village to the next just to find some miniscule dot on the digivice htat barely seems to be registering anything right now.

"That's weird, ain't it? We've had multiple alerts at once for months, and now today, just this little weak one? I mean I ain't complaining, but yeah, seems weird." Floramon seems to tbe the only one bothering to listen to her, everyone else marching on behind or in front of her. No one responds, or tells her to shut up, and she frowns at the back of the Miz. "I guess jetlag's eatin' at everyone," she chirps, shrugging.

Asuka and Miz are walking quietly side by side in front of her and Xavier is behind her when- everything seems to explode all at once, Carmella's hearing growing muffled as she hits the ground hard and shudders, finding herself a few feet away from where remembers standing. "Oh my God," she exhales. "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God."

"Carmella!" Floramon yells, Carmella only just hearing this as she looks up.

"Don't come closer!" she calls to her partner, struggling to sit up through the pain eating up her body. "Stay where you're at, we're not sure-" And then she hears it, the soft noise of an attack rushing quite at her and she looks up. "Move away, Floramon! Please!"

Floramon is on the outskirts, having been thrown furthre rmost of the others because of her size. "Floramon!" she groans out, only just looking up in time ot see Xavier shift .. and then a bright, engulfing lgiht that makes everything feel a thousand times worse.

The last thing Carmella feels before getting engulfed by this is that it would have to happen this close to the holidays. lost in the shadows that grow and plan for all contingencies hiding within plain sisight. Once the aftermath from the attack starts to clear, an armored Digimon standing nearby smirks all pf the way with he way through talking to Luke's homeline and decides to leave him a message. shaking his head at the humans' continued fallac is a promisnig starty James thinks. Maybe.."

Convinced that they're doing the right thing even harder, Carmella and Aiden were given permions not to bother. I suppose tonight is the first thing I'm honestly going to watch that piece of shift tapings Yikes..
