Hello Chosen Within the City

Who: The city!
What: Invasion of the Digivolved Yokomon and Koromon
When: June 28-June 30
Where: All over Terminal Tokyo

Just as Ryou predicted it was only several hours later that the first wave of Yokomon and Koromon have made their appearance. Except...they're not Yokomon and Koromon anymore. It appears that they have all Digivolved into various types of Champion Digimon on the way over from Server. None of the various types of Champion seem to even blink if they're attacked. Their first and only objective seems to be to lay ruin to the city and everything in it. At first any attacks will be ignored, but if someone proceeds to continue and attack them, they will attack.

They're difficult to beat, regardless of level. These Digimon may need two people working together even at Champion level. Each Digimon are much more difficult to defeat solo than they would be normally. One thing should easily be certain before the first night is out-- if you want the city to survive then you're going to need to work together.]

[[OOC: So here's how this will work guys-- unless you need a Digimon for various reasons: playing out the first Digivolution, Dark Digivolutions, or a general battle they will be played by you. You may request a modded NPC as per usual, but depending on the number/duties you may be turned down (we'll do our best, though). Keep in mind your character will not have an easy win on their own and that humans will be virtually ineffective.

Most of the NPC Chosen will, unfortunately, have other things they're working on, but you may be able to see a couple helping to beat back the Digimon trying to destroy Terminal Tokyo ~~again~~.

There's all sorts of Champion levels to fight so pick and choose: Cyclonemon, Bullmon, Golemon, Harpymon, as well as many others will appear in the city, so don't be afraid to bring in a different kind of Champion Digimon from the DMA.

Remember to mark your subject titles with date, time, and even type of Digimon you will be fighting!]]

[Tucked away in Palette Town resides the familiar convention center. Once upon a time it sheltered the folks in Odaiba during Myotismon's attack. Now, it's doing the same for a whole bunch of Digimon and new Chosen.

Within the center it seems oddly peaceful in the city. The walls block out a lot of the sound of the fighting and incoming Digimon, but a glance outside might ruin any peaceable thoughts.

Luckily, at least, there seems to be plenty of food and water.]

[After the last battle, Ryan had pretty much had his fill of fighting. Seriously, it was not his thing and if Mimi hadn't digivolved they would not have made it out relatively unscratched.

So, when a new swarm of digimon were set to come to the city and attack, Ryan did exactly what he had done the last time and headed over to the convention center. If the last battle was any indication, there would always be people silly enough to try and take on digimon by themselves and they'd need medical attention.

Sure enough, the familiar medcenter was set up, and Ryan fell into place like he'd never left. It was a role, just like any other, and though Ryan might not have been the best suited for the role, he was going to do what he could. He'd learned a lot the last time around.]

[Sonata honestly wouldn't be of much help with fending off the Digimon to begin with, but with Makoto and Orine gone, she really is even less of in a mood to even try. Instead, Sonata has taken refuge in the medcenter, using her little knowledge of first aid learned from being in 0048 to help tend to anyone who may end up injured.

Normally, she might have at least tried to cheer up anyone who needed it, but instead, she remains fairly sullen and quiet instead.

... Penguinmon is still trying to find the balance between finding this behavior disturbing and being grateful she isn't harassing him or bouncing all over the place.]

[Yomiel barely knows what he's doing. He's following the cues of everyone else around, trying to wrap bandages but not too tightly, administer medication, whatever helps. He wants to be in on the fighting but he also has to make decisions for more than just himself. Since he's not the one doing the actual fighting-- and because he's scared of losing Salamon like he almost did before-- Yomiel has taken a passive role this time.

Salamon is just as curious as he is. The little puppy-like Digimon offers himself up as cuddling material, when he's not fetching various supplies that is.]

[ Bossing around older men is something that Rin Tousaka's capable of, so she'll wait for the right opportunity, then: ]

I'd like for you to get on your knees now. [ This isn't the same person who was directing him just a few seconds ago, now is it? ]

[What. Yomiel doesn't acquiesce, he just turns to look down at Rin over an armful of clean sheets.]

Sorry, I didn't catch that.

You heard me. [ Flatly said. ]

I'm just curious if you're a pushover, is all.

[ While there's a number of people inside working to help, Rin herself is perched up along top of the center to watch the combat play out around her. She doesn't raise a finger to help, but there's a weapon resting nearby should she need to.

Fortunately, she seems to luck out with nothing having approached her so far. Care to change that for her? ]

[This isn't quite like breaking a bone back home.

In Kapuskasing, his mom would ride with him in the ambulance, if she could, or Justin would, if she couldn't.

In Toronto, Ms. Oh went along, worried after he (presumably) accidentally fell from the catwalk. Dallas did too, under the condition that he was worried about his star player. (He probably was; Cam figures Dallas probably considered him a screw-up disappointment.)

Cam was told here, he was taken by Lucette, not an ambulance. Maya went with him. There's a section all set up for those injured, with a few rooms set aside and tarps outside, in case it got to be too many. Luckily, he got a room. Still, there's no doctors. Some Digimon, doing the best they can, some Chosen. Enough people around to get his arm set, apparently. He wasn't awake for it.

When he woke up, he had a blue cast.

That's one thing that's the same.

Now, it's like a reverse of two months ago. Everyone else was hurt and he was fine. Now he's really banged up, laying in a hospital bed, on a (correct) dose of painkillers, just anticipating the lecture's he'll get.

Maya's there a lot, doting and apologetic. He hates that he made her worry, but he's glad she's not hurt. He'll heal, he can handle it; he never wants to see her in pain.

He's resting now. Resting, but holding up the crest that appeared during the battle with his right hand, letting it dangle in front of him. The Crest of Courage. His chest tingles a little.

Courage? Really? Him? He's not that sure.]

[Neku had heard word that Cam was banged up while checking up on the medcenter, and at once was on his way to see the younger boy. Him busting his knee, Shepard breaking her ribs... it seems no battle can go by without some kind of injury]

Cam... shit.

[A cast? Was it really that bad?]

What the hell happened?!

[Oh. No. Here comes the lecturing. He tries to smile for Neku, sheepishly.]

Broken arm. It...doesn't feel all that bad, not with the painkillers.

[. . .]

I, uh, got a cast.

[He raises his left arm to try and show him. ...The shoulder's still sore so he winces. Bad move, kid.]

[Neku frowns sternly]

How'd ya manage that?

I...I had to protect Maya.

[It feels more like a scolding than a lecture.]

...did you seriously take a digimon's attack or something?

...yeah. Some kinda...shaman? I think. It had a boomerang, and... it was gonna hit her.

[Neku's voice softens, though he does still sound very shocked and worried]

Cam, you could have died, we don't have any defense against their attacks!

[The crest drops from his fingers, to his chest, and he runs his free hand through his hair.]

I, I know. I know, but if I hadn't, she could've died! I tried to get us both out of the way, but I couldn't, so. So. [He sighs.] I had to do something.

[He's silent for a long moment, sitting down next to the bed and rubbing the back of his head]

...yeah. I understand. I can't really say I wouldn't have done the same thing.

...I'm sorry. I... Her partner went off to fight, but Maya and Lucette didn't want to leave her out on her own. We should've looked for someone else to go with us, but I didn't...think.

[Neku sits there, thinking. He's never been good at expressing his own feelings. How to tell what he means when... Cam took the only human option? Especially considering it was his girlfriend in danger? He's not MAD... but anger is easier to show.

The memory of Cam almost telling him something during the excursion he had led floats up as well. He has to be honest with his reasoning if he WANTS honesty, he supposes. His words come out in a tumble]

Look... a few years ago... a friend of mine got killed. [Not 'died', or 'was killed'. GOT killed, like he GOT milk from the store. Just something that happened]

He was... walking to met up with me somewhere and just.... wham, gone. Like... he just stopped existing. I was a wreck for along time after that. Blamed myself for a lot of things that weren't really anyone's fault. Stuff that was just shitty luck. HE didn't care if I blamed myself, or if people were sad when he was gone. He was dead.

I didn't see it at the time, cuz... well I was pretty in love with my own misery... but his parents, his sister... then were all in a bad way too. Just one kid dead and all these people fucked up in the aftermath. Do you get what I'm saying?

You... did the right thing, and I'm glad you're okay. Just... please be careful.

[From each word Neku spoke data began to appear above his head.

Plop. The blue emblem and tag fell into his spiky mess of a hairstyle.

His Crest, the Crest of Friendship.]

[So caught up in his story, Neku doesn't notice the forming item until he feels a light shifting in his hair.

After fighting alongside Masaru his first thought: oh god spider. He starts swatting at his hair in a panic, making the charm get even more tangled in his now-overgrown spiky mop]

Ahhh, what the hell?! [Dramatic moment: ruined]

[The story sucks the air out of Cam's lungs. Especially when Neku gets to the end, especially there. Especially because.

Well.

Maybe it's the painkillers but something wells up inside of him, like an intense need to just say it to just let it out, a hot warm fire in his stomach and squeezing his heart.

That's it. Right then. He's convinced it's time, and Neku should be told.

...Except then the crest.] I-it's a crest.

[A slow smile slides across Cam's face, and he remembers his own.]

[He lets out a relieved sigh.] Thank goodness... Um, there's a nice place to sleep here, right? Somewhere comfy? She's been up since yesterday, and, and I don't wanna--

[You're babbling.]
