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!

[Well, there are some people who do say certain things when they summon certain monsters, but no. Shark is going to explain ritual, fusion, syncro, and XYZ summoning now.]

It's so complicated...

[Does he really expect Gotsumon to learn this and get good at it?

...Yes.]

[fuhrinkaed]

[Guilmon is again lost and her eyes have gone all swirly... she honestly only barely understands special summoning at all.

Ed, though, seems to have had his interest piqued...]

Wait, so you mean Ritual monsters are created by using a spell card to create a magic ritual that calls them forth... and you have to prepare for it by pulling the parts from your deck? [His mahotaku-ness has kicked in.] That is so cool! And then they can tune themselves with other monsters to create Synchros, Fusions, and XYZ monsters on top of that? So it's a game about magic and friendship and cooperation! Oh man... I really want to play now..!

[marinebiting]

[He's completely silent as he listens to Ed. This guy...he might have the makings of a good duelist.]

If there's any place we can get our hands on some cards we can.

[Because you can't play with just one deck. :c]

[fuhrinkaed]

[...have you ever seen the look of absolute despair befall someone before?]

Oh man, where are we even going to get cards in a place like this?! Th-this is so unfair! It's like the game's right there, waiting for us to play it...

...We need to search the town and see if any of the stores carry these cards! You never know, it could be!

[marinebiting]

[Yes, but it is quite a sight no matter how many times he sees them.]

Every store!?

Every store.

[That means he agrees.]

[fuhrinkaed]

Alright then! Every store! Come on Guilmon!

Wha..? Okay...

[Shop searching montage?]

[marinebiting]

[Store searching montage! And by some digi-miracle, they found one!]

I didn't expect a place to actually have them.

[fuhrinkaed]

M-me either..! [He starts sifting through them.] I guess the card game was a hobby to the people of this Tokyo, too. Maybe some things are universal?

So it's... forty to sixty cards in a deck, and fifteen in the extra deck, right? And I have to think about how they'll work together.

[marinebiting]

[He knows that the game crosses into other universes. The Astral and Barian worlds are parallel worlds where the game also exists, but something completely different like this is quite amazing.]

Start with something basic until you find something you like.

[fuhrinkaed]

...Mnn...

[He's busy looking through all of the cards still.] Are Ritual monsters basic? I really like the idea of them. The magic powers and all of that merging in order to create a new force, one that fights for balance and all that.

[marinebiting]

Try this one then.

[It's a starter deck that focuses on a ritual monster.]

[fuhrinkaed]

[He fans it out and starts looking through the cards, stopping at the Ritual monster.]

Divine Grace Northwemko... She's really pretty! And a spellcaster too... that's perfect! Okay then, I'll give it a try!

[Please note that if they do play he's going to get positively slaughtered. How does I read bluffs? D:]

[marinebiting]

[He'd be playing a former professional. The chances would be very slim indeed. Meanwhile, Gotsumon doesn't have the same certainty as Ed.]

I don't know what to pick!

[fuhrinkaed]

[And unlike certain other newbies who are terrible at card games, Ed doesn't even have a magical necklace to steal.]

Can I use this one?

...Guilmon, that is a booster pack.

Oh. ...So?

Guilmon...

[marinebiting]

[Since Gotsumon has no idea what she'd like, she ends up picking a deck based solely on the one she can see on the front of the package: Poseidra, the Atlantean Dragon.]

Atlantean?

What, you have a problem with that?

No.

[fuhrinkaed]

How about this many?

Three boosters is 27 cards, Guilmon. You need 40.

Okay... then I need... This many!

Well... yeah, but it's really best if you just use one of the preconstructed--

[Clearly not listening, Guilmon is opening her boosters and putting all the cards together.] There! I got 45 cards now, geko. Can we play?

... [Sigh.] If you... really want to...

[marinebiting]

[Guilmon that doesn't even really qualify as a deck.]

He's the type that doesn't take no for an answer, isn't he?

[fuhrinkaed]

She really doesn't.

No just means I have to ask again and again until it's yes!

...that isn't how it works, Guilmon...

[marinebiting]

Reminds me of someone I know.

[Most people seem to know someone like that.]

[fuhrinkaed]

[Guilmon starts shuffling. Then she drops her cards because claws are bad for shuffling and just starts piling them all up again, clearly that will randomize them.]

Well... we're both kind of like that sometimes. My friends tell me I can be kind of thick-headed...

[marinebiting]

[She just needs practice. If dogs can duel, so can bipedal lizards.]

You mean stubborn?

That's good.

[fuhrinkaed]

Stubborn is good? Haha... then that's good!

Okay! I'm all set... who wants to play against me, geko?

[marinebiting]

Play against Gotsumon.

Me!? Well...I guess it would be more fair that way.

[fuhrinkaed]

Alright then! Here I come!

[Bad is an understatement. Guilmon does not have a functional deck.]

...Thanks for humoring her.

[marinebiting]

Ha! Take that!

[Gotsumon pauses, then looks at Shark.]

Okay, okay, so it is pretty fun.
