Who: Scarlet Spider, DORUmon, ???
What: Sticking your neck out
When: October 10th, 2009, Evening
Where: Neon City
It had been several months since a giant monster, as opposed to the smaller monsters that littered the city's streets, decided to carve a path through several buildings. In that time, there had been great leaps towards reconsutruction... but there still remained much to be done in some areas. Particularly in one space of the city, in which one of Argomon's attacks had left a literal crater smack dab in the middle of the metropolis...
It was here, despite what most others would deem as common sense, that the Scarlet Spider found himself with his digimon partner, DORUgamon. Specifically, atop the ruins of a couple buildings, among the last slated to be completely demolished to make way for reconstruction. For a good while, the man otherwise known as Ben Reilly had been spending a lot of his spare time combing this city searching for several individuals. Barry the Chopper. Gluttony. And Edward Brock... otherwise known to the world at large as Venom.
Of course, there were good odds that none of them were still present in this city. Their last known, concrete whereabouts were several months back...
But despite the presence of everyone that was in this town, Neon City still remained a good hiding spot for the criminally insane. And there were small signs of things... familiar acts of violence that made him think at least one of his targets could still be there. He just had to follow the trail... but it seemed like he'd been following it to dead ends for a bit too long.
"You know," DORUgamon said, flying around Scarlet Spider's perch, "if you keep swinging around this area... one of these damned buildings is going to fall on your head. And I'm gonna LAUGH. Seriously, you can't think anyone in their right mind is gonna be out here..."
"One," Scarlet said, holding up a finger, "we're not looking for anyone 'in their right mind.'"
"Two," he continued, with the appropriate number of fingers, "we've already dug through almost everything else. It almost stands to reason an area most people would deem too dangerous to even patro regularly might make a good hidey-hole for someone that is really good at surviving in extreme circumstances."
"Three," he said, with, yes, three fingers held up, "...not like I have much else left to do. Seirously. When's the last time I had a freakin' date?"
DORUgamon rolled his eyes. "Last I checked, you stood up that pink haired girl back in Feb-"
"THERE WAS A WAR GOING ON!"
"REGARDLESS. You have only yourself to blame for your lack of getting lucky, and hey, with a night life like THIS..."
Scarlet thrust a hand out to point at the airborne Digimon. "I don't see you getting it on with any girls lately, either, pal!"
"PROBABLY because my Tamer likes to drag me out dressed up like it's freaking Halloween every night!"
Scarlet just... put a hand to his masked face, and shook his head. "I... don't know why I even bother arguing with you..."
