Matt should have been setting up a stand for the Silver Dragon. He should have been helping Hay Lin, Caleb, the Prinny Squad, and Shiuchon and Olette. He should have been listening to Shagon telling him this every five minutes. But the minute he'd seen a Licht Sieger at a booth, all sense of responsibility abandoned him, and he ran for it with a string of beads. Lightsabers waited for no one.

"You're not even going as a Jedi," Shagon reminded him. "Han Solo carries a blaster."

"Yeah, but Caleb's already got a badass sword, and I've got nothing," Matt answered. He picked one up and turned it on, grinning like an idiot at the pale blue laser blade. "Okay, now I'm set."

"A-hem."

The second Matt turned around, he would find himself staring at a goggle-wearing Guardian with her arms crossed, eyes slightly narrowed and a mock-look of irritation on her face; Hawkmon responded first with a deep sigh before Hay Lin actually spoke.

"And, just what are you doing over here wasting perfectly good beads?" Hay Lin's irritated look faded to reveal an almost too innocent-looking smile. Hence the reason for Hawkmon sighing moments ago.

"Prinny Squad ho!" proclaimed Kadaj as he lead a pile of Prinnies towards the booth, carrying various foodstuffs all boxed up. "Prinny Squad Leader Kadaj reporting for Duty dood," saluted Kadaj.

"ORLY?! Construction Site Team, reporting for duty," saluted Loz, behind an army of Moonkin in assorted colors of grey, red and tan. "We're here to build the stand!"

"Cooking team, at ease!" proclaimed Yazoo, his army of Altemeres all in the shape of Calebs, but wearing chef hats. They were carrying various portable cooking utensils and heating impliments.

"And Caleb, back from the Dead Zone," grinned Caleb, his arms loaded with beads. There was barely a space left on him not covered with them. "Lookie what I got! Jack's been dancing his butt off for rum beads so he gave me half of his! We've got CURRENCY people!" At this, he let out a maniacal cackle. "So, what'd I miss?" inquired Caleb.

"Matt wants to go dressed as Anakin pre Darth-Vader!" Hay Lin replied, her smile widening a bit. "He just bought himself a lightsaber!"

"That's Licht Sieger." Hawkmon corrected. The Guardian blinked in confusion at her partner once hearing the term.

"Really? It's always been lightsaber to me. Maybe it's different in the Digital World?"

[whyicouldntfly]

"I'm still kinda torn between Anakin and Han," Matt confessed. "Might just wear my Han costume for the show, but there's the whole Star Wars Trio thing, and..." He frowned. "Wonder if I should just figure out a way to wear both costumes. Maybe find a phone booth halfway through so I can run in and change." And he held up his Licht Sieger lightsaber. "The Digital World can call it whatever it wants. This is a lightsaber, plain and simple." Shagon, meanwhile, looked absolutely fed up with his partner's fanboyism.

[guardian_haylin]

"Hmm..."

The Guardian of Air bent down until she was level with Shagon, a look of concentration in her eyes. After appearing deep in thought for several seconds, and writing various things on her hand, Hay Lin smiled happily while getting back to her feet.

"Ooh-how about a compromise Matt? If you spend 1/2 of the time at the show as Han, I'll see about making Shagon his own Chewie costume!" Hay Lin exclaimed excitedly. "It'll have to be small enough to cover his body, but he'll still need to fly around and see out of it too. I think I can pull it off if I work past midnight!"

[whyicouldntfly]

"Oh yes!" Matt cried before Shagon had the chance to say anything. "It's a deal!"

Shagon looked between both of them and then gave Hawkmon a look that clearly said "How does he get me into these things?"

[guardian_haylin]

Hawkmon shrugged and responded, sotto voce, to Shagon. "Probably the reason why Hay Lin doesn't fully disperse her problems with me-protection. The less we know, the more they'll be able to keep us safe. Then again, it's our duty to look after them when the Demon Lords eventually make their move. It's been much too quiet."

Hay Lin, not even paying attention to Hawkmon, was busy making a list on what she would need. "I don't think I'll be able to find fur this soon to the show, but I can improvise!"

[whyicouldntfly]

"Not with Matt," Shagon whispered back. Matt was too busy plotting with Hay Lin to even notice. "Much as he complains about me, he's still acting like we're still fighting each other over our mind." The red light on his bracelet was proof enough of that. Of course, it wasn't like the antagonism was all one-sided, but at least Shagon was putting some effort into it.

"Crush the Darkness, Espada de Oscuridad."

The deep snap-hiss of a lightsaber being ignited and deep breathing echoed from behind them as Kadaj finally figured out his own personal polymorph. It didn't quite work, as a Vader helmet was perched on his prinny-form. "You do not know the power of the Dark Side dood," rasped Kadaj in a James Earl Jones voice. "Dood, I am your Prinny."

Loz snorted in laughter. "Come to the Dark Side -- We have Darth Prinny!"

"That's Darth Kadaj to you!" grinned Kadaj from beneath his helmet and cloak.

Caleb shrugged. "Most of my fanboyism goes into them. I dunno where they get it from."

Ryuudamon "ROFLed".

[whyicouldntfly]

Matt? Matt was cackling maniacally. "Dude, that's fantastic! All of us so have to go as the Star Wars cast."

[lixiaochun]

"You people? Are way too weird," Shuichon commented as she and Lopmon wandered over to join them. But the Chinese-Japanese girl was grinning to beat the band.

She was also decorated with her own share of beads.

[guardian_haylin]

Hay Lin beamed with excitement as she turned and smiled broadly at seeing the Chinese-Japanese Tamer approach with...

"A Lopmon! That's a really cute Digimon! Don't move, okay?"

After having pulled out a pencil, paper and clipboard from her bag, Hay Lin furiously got to work; minutes later, though one would say it seemed like hours, the Guardian of Air handed Shuichon a freshly made drawing of herself and her partner Digimon; below the drawing was an inscription that stated as such:

'The bonds a Tamer and their Digimon share are just as irreplaceable as the bonds between your closest friends.'

"I'm Hay Lin, that's my partner Hawkmon; he's Caleb with Ryuudamon, and that's Matt with Tsukaimon! It's nice to meet you!"

Hay Lin wasn't the only goggle-wearing Tamer here at the moment; Takato wasn't that far away, but he had currently ran into an old friend.

[meridianrebel]

"Us? Weird? Thank goodness for that or half the things we can do probably would never work," snickered Caleb as Darth Kadaj had started to swordfight with Yazoo who had polymorphed himself into a large panda bear, wearing Jedi robes.

"It's over Kadaj; this high ground gives me +5 to Agility!" announced the robe wearing panda from atop a pole in the booth.

"HAX!" proclaimed Kadaj, shaking his lightsaber.

[whyicouldntfly]

"And then there's that," Matt added with a smirk. "Caleb's our resident King of Crack anyway, so don't worry about it. Something about letting him watch three straight months of Earth pop culture made him go completely nuts."

[lixiaochun]

"Nice to meet you too; I'm Lee Shuichon, and this is Lopmon." She accepted the drawing from Hay Lin and grinned. "Wow, this is really good!"

Shuichon spared a brief, uncertain glance for the 'saber-fighting Prinnies before looking back at the owners of the Silver Dragon. "Anyway, I brought some cha siu baau with me for the booth, if you guys are interested."
