Just in Time for the Movies.

Characters: Everyone! (Only new arrivals are allowed in the Terminal Room)
When: Starting August 4th, 2013
Where: Terminal Room or all over town!
What: An open mingle log for everyone to play in!

Last month, there was no earthquake signalling new arrivals.

That's not a pattern; the ground quakes, the chutes in the Terminal Room activate, and Culumon trembles with excitement. There are so many lonely Digimon that had appeared recently and--finally-- their partners have arrived!

With Chosen disappearing every now and then, fresh faces will be very helpful.

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!

His name's Scrappy-- ACK.

[Kaito shuts Elecmon up quickly by shoving his hand into the Digimon's face]

Kaito. Kuroba Kaito, nice to meetcha.

That's the problem.

[The Hell Muppet refrains from peeking back into the room again. But it still looks decidedly uneasy with the whole thing.]

[Kagerou has apparently decided this whole thing will pass if he presses himself against a wall, with his face buried in his arms. Which is super helpful.]

[Except not at all.]

I don't think he's coming out.

You too--I said Ed before, it's short for Edward Finklestein.

...Ed is fine.

[The poor thing is alternating between hovering in the doorway, and standing in the center of the hallway. It really doesn't look happy. It looks more like some kind of distressed muppet than anything.]

[It kind of ... slither-hops to the door, and back again, before answering.]

He's not coming out. I think he's scared.

[Yeah, well honey your voice is a little creepy.]

Ed? Or Ed-san?

Ponkotsuguin!

[But thaaaat's one of Paruru's nicknames......]

...just Ed. I never really put a lot of stock in formality.

Neither have I, but it pays to ask. Just Ed, then.

And... just Kaito, right?

Right. Or Kuroba, take your pick. I'll answer to both.

[Leatherhead is at a loss at what to do. He's no psychiatrist. Help???
Oh wait he's supposed to be the help FUCK.

The big guy tentatively opens the door, even as Impmon tugs at him.]

Come on Heather! Leave it be!

No I must see if he is alright...

[He just wanted to take one look, that's all. If he was hurt, he knew at least to get some actual help.]

...you would?

[Someone condoning violence? This feels weird.]

[Yes, please. The Hell Muppet hasn't even met the guy, it doesn't know what to do.]

[It's going to peer in after him, though, worried and just as confused.]

[... Kagerou, thankfully, isn't damaged. He's not even bruised. He's overwhelmed and at a loss. His reactions in stressful situations are pretty much limited to fight-or-flight, and both of those are being denied him now.]

[So. He's shut down. Hunkered down. He barely looks up when he hears footsteps approach. Aside from the obvious eyepatch, he looks like any other human.]

[It is not the Optimus Prime way, but damn it, Ratchet is so out of his element and steamed up and out of sorts enough that he is totally down for some hurt.]

I don't see why not! This is--this is downright intergalactic kidnapping, and I don't even know what you would call this...new body nonsense.

Months? [He keeps hold of that glass, but he very nearly drops it. Better just go set it down.] How can you have been gone for months when I only saw you the other day?

[Well he looks okay. Does Kagerou really need help? Can Leatherhead really help him?

That's the thing about Leatherhead. His talents only seem to be fighting, not actually doing this helping kind of stuff.

He feels so embarrassed. How can he help someone traumatized when he's a mess himself. He sighs, hanging his head.]

...I am sorry. I shall leave you alone.

...but where do we start?

I don't know if you guys know this, but there's still the deal with the evil threatening to destroy us all.

[Good lord, Impmon's the voice of reason.]

[He almost seems... startled, to hear the voice. His head jerks up, his one eye going wide. It's like he just now realized someone else was in the room.]

[And it's a human.]

[There's a moment in which he tries to scoot back further against the wall, shoulders hunching up like he's trying to spread his wings.]

Who are you?

[Well, it's the first he's spoken since he got here, anyway.]

[The world has turned upside down! Ratchet lightly scoffs and waves that concern aside.] That's nothing new. If I were to go back home, I could deal with that evil threatening to destroy us all.

That's not--but this is home! Maybe it's not home to you yet, but it's home to us, and--and a lot of other people, too. And it's not just the digital world at stake, you know...

Yeah ever thought I wanna keep my home too?

I have no real home.

[Leatherhead shrugs as if it were just a fact.]

[Oh no it's talking to him. Abort abort. Human lessons didn't come with a manual on how to be social.]

...Leatherhead.

[Outside Impmon gives encouragement.]

Way to lay on the charm.

[Ok uh...what now.]

...do you have a name?

It's more like a standard theurgic contract to me, honestly, except for the part where I'm not sure we still have our souls.

That aside, it uses our emotions as fuel to undergo rapid aging to a point in their life cycle where they are far more powerful, and apparently there is a direct relationship between age and power with no problems due to age. Mortal peril seems to trigger the evolutions easiest, but doing so recklessly or with negative emotions who defines that, anyway can lead to a berserk transformation, where the partner Digimon loses its mind and tries to kill everything around it, up to and including its partner.

[Ratchet pinches the bridge of his nose and remembers that he has to keep doing that breathing thing. Please don't start looking like you're having a heart attack again, Bearmon's heart might not take it.

Calm is difficult to summon, but he's going to try doing it anyway.]

All right. We are here. There does not seem to be much we can do about that fact at the moment. Which means fighting for and with these...Digimon is the only thing we can do.

Okay then. It's great to meet you, Kaito. You can ask me if you have any other questions--I'll help as best I can. We have to stick together, right?

A standard-- [His Akako pings are definitely activated] Oi oi, I don't remember taking part in any creepy magic ritual, my soul should still be intact.

[he lifts a hand and rubs at his face]

And you're saying we have to almost die in order to get these guys to evolve? Doesn't that seem counterproductive?
