Past Closing [Invite Only]

[Ling]

"Well, whatever, but we don't have time to stand around talking it over while standing still," Ling said to Tian as she began to move quickly. Unfortunately, her pace was a bit slower than it would normally be due to the fact that she had Monmon in her arms. He wasn't a big, but he weighed a lot more than what she would have expected a boy his size to weigh. In any case, it was fine for now.

"Worse case scenario, Ishaan and I can keep them hidden away at the temple we live at," Ling finally said, though she continued to move quickly. Unfortunately, getting out the way they got in wouldn't be very easy considering it'd be much harder to climb the fences with the kid in her arms.

"Sound good?"

[Jian]

“Take them home...?” the boy pondered that thought, but it seemed that he would have to do that while he chased after Ling since she was running away already. He would have called out something like ‘wait up’, but he decided against it simply because he wasn’t sure how close the people who were after them were and whether said people would hear him or not if he raised his voice.

Holding Patamon tightly in his arms, Ishaan ran a few feet behind Ling, wondering how far away the fence was that they would need to climb over just to get out of this place. “Yeah, I can find a place to hide this little guy no problem!” he replied, his voice holding no worry about whether or not the monks would like this. He didn’t think for a second that they would even find the orange digimon, to the boy it actually sounded like a fun idea to bring this creature back with him and to keep it hidden.

”Oooh, a temple? That sounds fun! Let’s go, let’s go!” Patamon cheered as he squirmed out of the monk’s arms. The fence was practically right in front of them so the digimon flew right over it to the other side and waited for everyone else to make it over.

[Tian]

Ling was right again of course, and Tian was irritated with himself for stopping to take the time to think about their course of action. They lacked the time, and Ling's initiative was probably what saved them from getting caught. These were the thoughts going through his head as he followed the other two. Ling had suggested that the creatures stayed at the temple, which seemed like a good idea but something in the back of his mind was making him hesitate. Why am I second guessing myself about this? It is the most logical solution as they would have many places to hide.

As they approached the fence, Tsukaimon chose that moment to wake up and fly out of his arms to join his fellow Digimon on the other side of the fence. Tian quickly climbed up the fence with no problem and sat at the top to help Ling with the one she had been carrying. He was sure that she could have handled it on her own, but better safe than sorry at this point in the game. "Ling, you can hand him to me while you make it over the fence."

His eyes glanced in the direction that they had come from, but he could not see anything or anyone coming after them. That didn't mean that no one was coming. It just meant that he couldn't see anything. Tian was not sure if anyone was coming at all at this point. The man might have just been trying to scare them, but the gun and the monster had him convinced that they were in danger.

[Ling]

"Oh... Alright, thanks!"

Ling reached up and handed the boy off to Tian. The fence was pretty high, but on the tips of her toes, she was able to hand Monmon off to him. With following that, with some acrobatic work, she was able to get to the top of the fence and hop over. Now that they were out of the park, they had some more freedom, but they really needed to continue moving.

"So... I guess that's that... Lets go back to the temple.. and figure things out."

[Jian]

Ishaan followed after the two digimon who had already flown over, and right after Tian. He quickly climbed up and over the fence, hopping down to the other side and landing lightly on his feet. Well, that was easy enough, now to find their way back before somebody caught them doing something that was deemed to be wrong. Such as trespassing...

Yeah... right now he just wanted to be back at the monastery more than ever, he was actually surprising himself. And though Ishaan still may not understand what a Digimon was, it didn’t stop him from liking the little fella’.

Beginning to create some distance between himself and the fence as he walked away from the scene, the boy noticed Patamon following closely beside him. It seemed that the creature liked him too... had he made another new friend that easily? Ishaan smiled at the Digimon and looked to make sure the other two were still with him. “Yeah, okay,” was all that he said in response because, truthfully, he wasn’t entirely sure what he should be saying. Whatever there was to figure out... well, they’d figure that out as well once they made it back to the temple safely.

[Tian]

Tian took the small creature from Ling and jumped off the other side of the fence. He saw that the others had made it safely over to the other side of the fence and began to move away from it. Tsukaimon had resumed his spot on top of his head, while they were headed off to the temple where Ling and Ishaan resided. He would have to call home and tell his family that he was with some new friends, which would not be a lie. His mother would be ecstatic with this news and would probably ask that he bring them over to the house so she could meet them. It was how it normally went.

"I guess that is all we can do at this point." Tian had never been to any of the temples in China yet. He had been rather busy with getting completely settled in and catching up with his family members. The young man actually felt bad about his lack of study in his Taoist studies, and with this new creature on his head Tian didn't feel like he wouldn't be getting back to it any time soon.

Tsukaimon had drifted back off to sleep again while Tian was quickly walking away from the fence. He was moving fast enough to put some distance between him and the fence, but not fast enough to draw attention to himself. There was no way of knowing whether or not the public authorities had been notified to be on the look out for three suspicious kids, and that man's picture didn't help anything. Now they knew what they looked like, which meant that they could find them. He guessed they would worry about it all when they got to this temple.
