New Arrivals Digicards On Mario Karts!

[terminalhelpers]

Characters: Everyone! (Only new arrivals are allowed in the Terminal Room)
When: 3 JUNE 2013
Where: Terminal Room or all over town!
What: An open mingle log for everyone to play in!

Last month had been relatively calm, with only a new Dark Area being found.

But once again, that calm was disrupted.  For the third consecutive time, an earthquake tore through the Digital World. One on the scale of the one that had brought so many of the current Chosen to the Digtal World. Once again, dozens of Chosen were making their way to the Digital World. Destiny was calling once more and so were their partners.  Mayhaps even some of the Choosen that have been here for a while, have predicted this to happen, today.

Every chute in the Terminal Room activated while the small Digimon known as Culumon trembled with excitement. There were so many lonely Digimon that had appeared recently and--finally-- their partners had arrived!


OOC: Feel free to mark your characters in different locations! They can be just arriving in the Terminal Room you read about in the arrival post or anywhere on the map! Also feel free to mark the day for each thread. You can also request to play with Culumon, too! Have fun, guys!

Outside of the Terminal Room

[missingthebigone]

[Will's abruptly found himself in places without any clue how he got there a few times recently, but this is the first time he's ended up in a place he doesn't recognize in the slightest. He's already shaken as he looks around the room, searching for any sign of where he is or why he's there.]

[Receiving his D-Terminal and Digivice is going to have to wait, because Will isn't taking any advice from Culumon, who Will assumes is some new children's toy. Instead, he walks right out of the room, rubbing the bridge of his nose as though it could do something for his headache.]

[But while Culumon was easy to write off as not a living breathing animal, things are different when his partner spots him.]

Will!! Oh, you're here, you're here!

[A ball of white fur barrels into his ankles, warm and soft and very alive. Talking. Animals.]

[If you happen to stumble upon Will, he's currently sitting on the floor with his head in his hands, not moving. Gomamon is laying on his feet, occasionally gently poking at her partner's knees, trying and failing to snap him out of it.]

[scratchitti]

[Neku had learned from his last attempt: megaphones do not help. He really can't see what Pi-Face saw in the things. Instead he's wandering around, looking for those that look especially lost.

And here's one for sure. The older man looks like he very well might have completely lost it.]

Hey! You okay?

[missingthebigone]

[Will doesn't seem to reply, but if you're paying attention, he presses his palms harder into his eyes. Gomamon, on the other hand, gives Neku her attention.]

I think I broke him! I came up to say hi and-and he just started breathing all weird and curled right up!

[scratchitti]

...panic attack maybe? [Neku mulls outloud. But he honestly knows nothing about this kinda thing. It makes sense that most people would freak out upon seeing all this.]

Hey, er.... Gomamon? [He remembers Hiccup's partner] Don't panic, I'm gonna see if this helps.

[He moves forward... and grabs Will's lapel and *crack* slaps him across the face. That always works on tv.]

[missingthebigone]

[Gomamon makes a distressed little noise and looks back at her partner.]

I didn't mean to scare him...

[But it's Gomamon herself that is frightened when Neku spontaneously attacks her partner. She gasps and turns to try to climb up Will's knees to make sure he's okay, but hey, it seems like the slap to the face did snap Will out of it.]

What was that for!?

[He responds before realizing that oh. Oh that hurt. This person is real. He points immediately at Gomamon, who is nibbling on the ends of her claws and making upset little whimpering noises.]

Is there something there?

[interconnect]

[ Sissel spends more time in the terminal room than Will does, mostly out of necessity to accustom himself to his new body, but also to try and dig out some answers from where the questions just keep sprouting up.

It isn't until he's outside, introduced himself to Terriermon and looking for somewhere to go that isn't quite his room assignment that he notices the man being prodded at by his digimon partner. Sissel steps over, all 4'8" of adorable cat boy, one hand to his bandana to try and stop the kneading instinct betraying his own overwhelmed feelings and tilts his head. Terriermon peers around the back of his legs to see the scene for himself. ]

Is he all right there?

Whoopsie, did he hurt himself somehow?

[missingthebigone]

[Will makes no attempt to respond-- as far as he's concerned, he's having a full on mental break, and responding to what sounds like worried children probably isn't a good idea. They might not be real.]

[Thank goodness for Gomamon!]

He hasn't moved since I gave him a hug! I checked, I didn't nick him with my claws or anything!

[interconnect]

Is he even awake?

[ Terriermon slips around and comes closer, poking Will at the joint in his knee with one of his claw-like fingers. ]

Maybe he's hungry!

Why would he just sit there if he was hungry? Nobody would be able to tell!

[missingthebigone]

[Will jumps a little when Terriermon pokes him, proving that yeah, he's awake, just paralyzed but the surreality of what's around him.]

Um, no, I don't think that's it... Unless humans normally react that way to hunger?

[She looks at Sissel for confirmation, not aware that until recently, he wasn't a human either.]

[bigsoftie]

[Leatherhead knows that feeling. He knows it a lot, actually. And he knows that when someone's in a state like that, you don't bother them.

Rather than talk or ask anything of Will, Leatherhead sits by the guy, knees to his chest. Really, he should have run away, but watching humans and talking to them without consequence became strangely addicting.]

Let's just leave this chum--

[The big teen grabs Impmon's mouth. Now now.]

[missingthebigone]

[Will doesn't respond to the company, doesn't even seem to notice, but Gomamon gives Leatherhead a pleading look.]

What do we do?

[bigsoftie]

[Leatherhead nods to the Gomamon. He knows how these mental breakdowns work, really.]

We wait. There is nothing that can help him other than waiting for him.

[Wait what did Mikey do when he was like this.]

...maybe give him a hug.

[missingthebigone]

[Gomamon sighs softly and snuggles closer to her partner's legs.]

When I hugged him before, this happened... Do you think it's my fault?

[arcain]

You'll have to be more resilient than that.

[Assuming that tiny little digimon is what he's troubled over. What, never dealt with strange monsters before?]

[missingthebigone]

[Will doesn't reply immediately, but Gomamon does.]

Did I break him, mister? I don't think hugs are supposed to break humans, are they?

[arcain]

They aren't supposed to.

[To Will:]

What's wrong? Did something happen? [Aside from...being here in the first place.]

[missingthebigone]

I don't think he can hear you...

I can hear you. That's the problem.

[Because Will thinks absolutely none of this is real.]

[fibs]

Man down, man down!

[Always joyful to hear the laughing shrieks of a Dracmon, isn't it? Celes has just been walking around until Dracmon starts yelling out for no reason, pointing at the Gomamon and the older man on the ground.]

Kehehe! Did you break your partner already?!

[...This might be serious yet she stays calm as usual.]

What did you do to him?

[missingthebigone]

[Gomamon whimpers and nudges Will's shin with her nose.]

I just hugged him! I double-checked, I didn't hurt him! I don't know what's wrong!

[She sounds rather frantic.]

[fibs]

You probably just scared him... Who wouldn't get scared when a talking seal-like creature approaches them?

[Celes approaches in front of Will, a red heel poking at Gomamon to nudge her away from him. Dracmon just watches from his usual place on her shoulder.]

Step aside for a moment.

[missingthebigone]

Oh! I, um... Oh...

[Gomamon goes a bit limp and crawls off to the side, watching anxiously.]

[trainsurdragons]

[It's been a while since Hiccup and his own Gomamon have visited the Terminal, but when they hear some new arrivals have made it to this strange place, they decide to head on over and see who they can see.

The second they step in they're presented with Will and his Gomamon, and Hiccup and Gomamon have two immediately different reactions.

Hiccup zeros in on Will. He knows a panicked and/or overwhelmed person when he sees one, so he doesn't hesitate to carefully step over. Before he can quite get to one knee, however, Gomamon detaches from his shoulders and climbs down his side to the floor.

Then, without further ado, he pulls himself over to Will's Gomamon and pats her fin with his.]

Hey there doll~ You havin' some trouble over here?

[missingthebigone]

[Will remains in his tight little ball of not handling this as the strangers, approach, but his Gomamon smiles at the approach of another of her own. Someone who won't panic at the sight of her! A cute someone who won't panic at the sight of her. She's visibly relieved, although the worry doesn't quite leave her eyes.]

I think I messed up... I didn't know humans break if you hug them! Or... Is it just mine? Does your partner like hugs?

[She looks from Hiccup to his Gomamon and back, curious.]

[trainsurdragons]

[Gomamon glances up at Hiccup before snickering.]

Dunno. I only think I've ever seen him hug someone once, an' he never did tell me if he liked it all that much.

[Then he looks back over at Will with a frown.]

Though my guy certainly took this whole thing a lot better than yours is.

That's because I'm used to the abnormal at this point.

[Hiccup sighs, kneeling down a bit further before turning to Will finally.]

Hey....are you alright?

[missingthebigone]

I guess it was wrong to assume that everyone likes hugs...

[Will's Gomamon moves closer to Hiccup's, seeking comfort as she watches Hiccup try to talk her partner down out of... whatever this is.]

[Will doesn't come out of his huddle, and the soon to be named Clarice looks worriedly between her two helpers.]

Is he going to be okay?
