Unlike other cats who have seen their owners use face cream, I am totally obsessed with the stuff. Every Digimon needs to have a smooth, simple complexion, and I don't go for stingy creams like Witch Hazel and all that stuff. I go for soothing face creams in those little tubs - think Olay, once known as Oil Of Ulan here in the UK. Sometimes Furaha and I love to play at being in a beauty salon, with me as a customer in need of escaping the stress of everyday life and Furaha as the beautician. Sure, you've seen modern adverts with flashing images - think Pantene - but Furaha and I don't go for these things. Too much for epileptic children, they say.
Of course, you can use face cream for anything if you're a kid - you can make Pikachu like dimples on your face. You can put a moustache in between your lips and nose. You can pretend it's ice cream - but don't eat it! In fact, I have seen a friend of Wizardmon's eat some face cream accidentally once, thinking it's ice cream. He choked so bad, because it wasn't good for his health! He was rushed to hospital and now he has a hole through his stomach from where the cream had settled.
Yes, face cream can have a sick effect on Digimon. I heard from Wizardmon that they can make you vomit, dry heave, and even cause huge lumps of brick to form in your stomach, just by letting the cream fuse all the arteries together! Some have even puked up blood from the effect of eating face cream. Why isn't it good for eating? Because it contains chemicals and health and beauty toxins that are proven to help skin improve its complexion day by day. Just to let you know, I think those Orangina commercials from France which see those animals using the drink in disgusting ways - as cereal, shampoo, mouthwash, deodorant and of course spot removal face wash. Eurgh! Who heard of such a thing? But still, you can have fun with face cream in many ways - you can use your imagination to let yourself become anything - it can be a yogurt pot, or a pot of chocolate mousse, or maybe even baby cream for your dollies.
In fact, according to my experiences, before Kari died of cancer, she played the beauty salon game with me. I was of course the customer and Kari was the beautician. They would use some of her mum's beauty cream, and of course Kari got into so much trouble for it. She was even sent to her room. Of course I don't blame her for it, there was this incident where Tai almost left her younger sister Kari to die while he went to play footie with his friends, but during this Me, You, And...time, she died for real. All her hair fell out, and she developed a fever. Over a few days she got weaker and weaker, until she finally collapsed and passed away in hospital. I had no choice but to live with Wizardmon instead. On the brighter side, while Kari and I played being in a beauty salon, Tai and Agumon were watching footie on TV, complete with snacks and stripey scarves. Agumon doesn't mind a nice football match on the TV, but I think it must be natural enough to be into nature more, not staring at a ball bouncing about on the screen. It gets even trickier when you're trying to follow a bouncing Mickey head during the Disney Sing-Along VHS tapes, and the words fly around the screen. Sweet lord, must I find it tricky to read them.
Anyway, whenever I touch a pot of soothing face cream, I'm always reminded of the games Kari used to play with me. Hearing our laughter from that time brings a tear to my eye, but Furaha would carry on Kari's legacy. Hey, who knows, maybe she'll even carry the Crest Of Light! But she's not a Digidestined, she's a lion. Never mind that, however, she's very kind and loving, just like Wizardmon. As long as we have each other, no pot of face cream could ever be thrown away - even when it's full.
