thefolder | Walking through the desert on a horse with no name.

Who: Anyone and everyone heading to Milleniummon's Castle!
What: The Trailmon lines are out and the Chosen have to get to that overrun castle. Looks like it's time for camping.
When: July 10th on
Where: Server, en route to the Castle.

[The Trailmon who lets the Chosen off wishes them best of luck. His tone of voice sounds like they're going to need it. He gives them a few pointers:

Look for forested areas in the large expanse of desert if you need to sleep in it.
Stop by the Armadillomon Village for supplies.
Don't get side-tracked.
Keep moving.
Oh, and of course, follow that digivice signal of yours.

Good luck.]

[[OOC: For simplicity's sake, this log can be used for anyone who's traveling to Milleniummon's Castle. It doesn't matter what day you set out, just know if you're traveling consistently, it will take you three days to get to the camp. Use the map if needed. If you need or would like NPCs, we will try to provide them, just request here. Feel free, if you'd like, to have your characters get turned around or lost, especially with some of the sights, but remember. People are waiting for you.

[Well, hopefully the duo won't mind Guilmon trailing behind. This whole expedition is a big deal! It's Guilmon's first real venture outside the city since his arrival. This desert environment isn't anything too strange for him, either. The Digital World he remembers had similar environments. In a way, it's kind of nostalgic.

But also sad. After all, this is also his first adventure without Takato.

Oh well. Right now, he needs to stay focused. He might be surrounded by strangers for the most part, but a little walking never hurt him before.

...It's just a lot of walking without much rest.]

Maaa... I wonder if we'll get there soon.

[His legs are getting kinda sore, but he must press on! It'd just be easier if he was Growlmon. At least then he'd be nice and big.]

[Now who would mind Guilmon? Leormon slows to walk beside him.]

If we can keep up this pace, from the map provided, it shouldn't take more than another day. Are you getting tired, my friend?

Maybe a little bit, but that's okay!

[Guilmon straightens his stance a little, cracking a smile.]

Guilmon's done lots more walking before! At least this time we don't have to worry about Culumon and the Devas.

[He appears...troubled.]

We should still stay vigilant, but that's a blessing...

Obviously, you all succeeded in rescuing Culumon. Juri hasn't...told me the specifics, though. I won't go behind her back, but...was she alright? After my death?

Um... well, she was after a while! But at first it was hard. Juri was sad, and she wouldn't listen to anybody, and then the D-Reaper got her.

[His head droops, and he lets out a sigh.]

But that's not your fault! And Juri got lots better.

[He slowly nods, understanding.]

It's difficult to process everything that happened... I have flashes, memories, of a sense. From existing inside Beelzemon. [His tail sways back and forth as he walks.] I did what I could to protect her, and the rest of you. I know that. It was my fate to die then...but I wish it hadn't been.

Thank you, all of you, for watching after her.

Mm, you're welcome! Guilmon was happy to help, and I know that Takato was, too! He got really upset after everything that happened.

[He shakes his head, trying to perk up.]

But now it's all over and everything is okay! And you're back with Juri, too. That makes it even better.

[A quiet chuckle in Leormon's throat.] How true. It's good to see you're still wise as you were, Guilmon.

Guilmon is wise?

[He blinks and tilts his head, surprised by his remark.]

I don't know. Guilmon always thought you were the really wise, brave, and strong Digimon!

Remember, Guilmon. There are many kinds of wise. Just like there are many kinds of strong.

We'll get there faster if you quit the whining.

[Devidramon's such a ray of sunshine. Obviously being outside with this black hide and wings is doing wonders for him.

Leatherhead is doing a lot better than his companion. Leatherhead feels more of a connection with Gulimon, for a number of reasons, one of the key ones being he was the few nonhumans out here.]

We shall get there soon enough.

[He delivers Devidramon a 'cut it out' look.]

That's not very nice...

[Thankfully, Leatherhead's words wipe the frown off his face, and he nods.]

But you're probably right! I guess we'll get there quicker if we keep moving, anyway. I just wish I could be Growlmon right now. Then Guilmon would be huge!

Life isn't every nice.

[Leatherhead gives Devidramon another look. Don't make him start throwing punches.]

I like you as you are.

Life can be nice if you let it!

[But Leatherhead is still nice and not a grump, so Guilmon will flash him one of his derpy smiles.]

Guilmon likes being Guilmon, too! But at least Growlmon can carry lots of people. And I'm really strong that way!

If you're a dummy, maybe.

[You're too sweet, Gulimon. If Leatherhead had less angst and anger issues, he'd be you.]

You wish to protect your friends. I understand.

[Pause.]

...how does it feel, to change?

Hmm...

[Good question! It's not something he gets asked very often.]

Well, it's kind of tingly, and then you feel a big rush of power! When Takato helps Guilmon evolve, I feel like I can do anything. It's even better when we evolve together and become Gallantmon.

[Leatherhead tries to imagine how it'd feel...seems a lot more pleasant than his own transformation.]

...you can change together?

[Guilmon nods, grin widening at the thought.]

It's called biomerging! We evolve together to the Mega level and become a big, strong knight Digimon!

[...]

I feel different as Gallantmon. Smarter! And I say stuff like... um... You sold your soul to the devil and became one yourself! And... I, Gallantmon, will never forgive you!

[He gives a dramatic swish of his claws as he says this before stumbling over his own feet. Whoops!]

Except Guilmon is still Guilmon and I don't have a problem with either of you.

...you must have a great heart to change and remain yourself.

[Still an amazing show of bravado, in his opinion.]

Walking through the desert on a horse with no name.
