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!

[Ed's plan was simple. The earthquake meant new people. New people meant new friends. New friends meant... well, new friends. He'd had Kyubimon help him down and was currently relaxing on a bench so as not to aggrivate his injuries too much--they were starting to show real improvement after almost two weeks of rest and only a couple stupid antics to aggrivate them!]

[Except then Kaito happened... and yep. That sure is a chosen your digimon just bowled over in the act of jumping over a bench in this merry chase scene. Ed goes falling off of it and flat on his face, dizzied by the force of hitting the ground.]

W-weeehh.... Did somebody get the number of that truck..?

[Of course, bowling Ed over in the process of jumping over a bench means that Kaito is losing balance mid-leap as well. With a surprised yelp, he crashes front-first against the pavement]

[Elecmon takes a few more steps before he stops and turns around, gaze washing over the two Chosen now sprawled against the ground]

Tsk. . . how ungraceful.

I'll show you ungraceful. . . [Kaito grumbles as he pushes himself up into a sitting position and rubs his hand against his face. Thankfully, he had taken worse falls in his lifetime, so it only took him a second to recover from this spill and address Ed]

-- oi, are you okay?

[Ed remains on the ground, answering without getting up as he doesn't want to aggravate anything further. He does roll over, grunting loudly as he does before looking up casually why yes I am perfectly okay. '^']

I'm fine. Just fine.

Nice to meet you. My name's Ed.

You just landed, right?

Ha ha ha. . .

[Kaito reaches out to help Ed up, though he pauses when he notices those injuries]

Just landed, literally and figuratively. Sorry 'bout that, I didn't see you on the bench.

[Pauses for a moment]

You sure you're okay? You look like you've been through the wringer.

Oh, this..? Yeah, you could say that. Haha... I've been through a couple of tough times and all that.

Don't worry, it's not a common occurrence. [He reaches his hand up towards Kaito.] I'm just reckless.

[He quirks an eyebrow skeptically, but takes Ed's hand and attempts to hoist the poor Chosen up into a sitting position. They could try standing up later]

Uh huh. Y'know, when you put it that way, it makes it sound like it happens all of the time.

[Ed is now sitting up! A good sign. :)]

Well... It's pretty common, just only for me. Nobody else has ever been in a dark field twice.

...Don't go in one if you can help it, by the way. It hurts.

[Yes, good. Let us hope it remains a good sign]

A dark what?

[Great. Even more unfamiliar terms. Like all of the ones that Izumi kid had spouted off weren't bad enough]

A Dark Field.

Basically it's a hole that opens up in the world and leads into nothingness. You'll know it if you ever see it, and if you do ever see it just. Please, don't fall in.

[His reply is dripping with sarcasm]

Right. I'll add mysterious voids that lead into nothingness to my list of things to be on the lookout for.

[...Wow when even Ed can tell... Well done.]

I'm serious. These wounds are from being in one.

[Kaito shifts a bit, so he's sitting cross-legged on the ground. Elecmon ambles over and plops down next to him, popping the D-Terminal open so he can fiddle with some buttons]

I know you're serious. But think about it for a bit-- I just got here, some bratty red rabbit who's supposed to be my "partner" stole a device that's supposed to be mine, and no one's been able to show me the exit yet. And now you're telling me I have to keep an eye out for giant voids of nothingness?

Oh, whine more, why don't you.

[With a scowl, Kaito brings his hand down on Elecmon's head and gives him a noogie]

...Oh.

I guess you're right. Sorry. I didn't think of it like that.

[He nods a little, then frowns.] But there isn't an exit... at least, not one that anyone knows about.

That's what I told him-- ACK.

[Kaito swiftly cuts Elecmon off by shoving his hand in the Digimon's face]

So I've been told. But that just means you guys haven't found it yet.

[His grumpiness fades a bit as he talks, replaced with a bit of confidence]

For every entrance into some place, there are at least three different exits.

Edited 2013-08-09 05:05 (UTC)

...I guess. And people have been known to vanish randomly, but it's just that--random.

Some of my friends did too...

-- vanish? Vanish and go where?

[That's just about as worrying as vast chasms of nothingness]

That's the weird thing--nobody knows. But their digimon go there too, so it's probably not 'out.'

[There's a moment of contemplative silence before he speaks up again]

Y'know, with everything I'm learning about this place, I feel like I've been dragged straight into a Saturday morning cartoon.

I guess? I mean, I don't know much about cartoon shows never really had time to watch them or anything but it could very well be like one of them.

...what are they like?

[replying lightly]

Oh, y'know, some unsuspecting hero is dragged into a quest to save the world. Supernatural powers are usually involved. Sometimes weird monsters that act as familiars are, too.

[jerks a thumb towards Elecmon]

[There is a dawning look of shock on Ed's face.]

...that's basically 'my life.' I mean. Aside from me not being a hero.

[Kaito blinks a few times, before clarifying slowly]

Your life here, or your life back home?

[The reply comes just as slowly.]

Yyyyes?

[That earns him a Look from Kaito]

It was a question that prompted an either-or answer, not a yes or not.

But the answer isn't either-or, and you didn't give me an all of the above..? H-how am I supposed to answer that?
