Just in Time for the Movies.

[terminalhelpers]

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!

Hey! I'm adorable!

[This is gonna be a long sit in here.]

Yes...I think so.

[At least he can help him there.]

I can help you with that...

[fuckinstoplights]

[Don't worry, other Digi, Hell Muppet will give you a big smile. Yes, it agrees with you.]

[But back to the pity party.]

[Kagerou's shoulders tighten, and while he doesn't bury his face back into his arms, his gaze lowers.]

I... know how to fight. But not like... [His hands clench.] Not like this. Not like a human being.

[A glance up.]

... are you a police officer? Or military?

[Those are totally the only humans who fight, right?]

[bigsoftie]

[No obviously the only ones who fight are kraang, him, and ninjas. Leatherhead is the second one. But still, it is the only way he can truly help.]

The digimon will help...I think.

No...I only know how to fight, that is all.

[fuckinstoplights]

That thing? It looks like a monster.

[And somewhere, the poor Hell Muppet seems to deflate a little.]

You know how to fight without being police? Or military?

How?

[bigsoftie]

[That word monster still has it's sting, but he tries to remember Mikey's words.]

Maybe they are monsters...because everyone else treats them that way.

I had to fight to survive.

[fuckinstoplights]

You don't. You said it was your partner.

[Hey, he remembers that much.]

... what does that mean?

[bigsoftie]

We had to learn to work together.

There was a time in my life where I had to choose something less than life...or fight those who kept me from the life I wanted.

[fuckinstoplights]

[His head couldn't have jerked up faster if it was on a string. He just stares.]

... What?

[That sounds way too familiar.]

[bigsoftie]

[Well if he has to explain his life, he doesn't have to explain ALL of it.]

There was a time I was a prisoner to those who would use me. I had to break free or they would continue to break my spirit. That was the choice I had.

[fuckinstoplights]

[Wellp, he's definitely paying more attention now. He even scoots forward a little.]

Use you...? How did they do that?

You're a human being.

[Because clearly humans can't be used.]

[bigsoftie]

I was not before I came here...

[God, he can't believe he just admitted that.]

[fuckinstoplights]

[He lifts his head all the way, then, staring, wide-eyed.]

[... well, one of his eyes is wide, anyway.]

You -- you weren't?

[bigsoftie]

Before I was an alligator...

We are not that different.

[fuckinstoplights]

...

What's an alligator?

[bigsoftie]

It is a big...scaly...thing.

[fuckinstoplights]

... A fish?

[bigsoftie]

No...like...a turtle.

[That helps, right?]

[fuckinstoplights]

Like... a turtle.

[Fortunately, he knows vaguely what that is.]

You're like a turtle?

[bigsoftie]

[He nods his head.]

With no shell...and a longer head.

[fuckinstoplights]

... That sounds strange.

[Then again, pretty much everything sounds strange to him, so.]

Why would you... why would someone keep a turtle for what you said?

[bigsoftie]

I wish I knew...I think it is for companionship.

[fuckinstoplights]

For... friendship.

[Oh whoops, it's time to curl back up again.]

It sounds nice.

[bigsoftie]

It does...

[Mikey showed him what that was like.]

...do you have friends?

[fuckinstoplights]

[His shoulders hunch. He nods into his folded arms.]



I did. I did once...

[bigsoftie]

[He solemnly nods, understanding Kagerou's predicament.]

As did I.

Maybe your digimon could be your friend?
