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

Like the month before, an earthquake signals the arrival of new Chosen starting up. 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!

In the Terminal Room

[hot_dawg]

[This is not ok. This is a million miles from ok. Milo was just minding his own business, running fashionably late to class, and suddenly: WHAMO. He's a people again.]

Ohhh no. OHH, NO! No, no, no!

[His first reaction? Turn around and try and scramble back into the chute. Clearly that's the way back. He hasn't even noticed Culumon or anybody else yet, but he will.

Right now he just needs a second to panic.]

[pigdazzler]

[Mabel had already gotten acquainted with her own partner and was just about to leave when she heard a voice from across the room, and a frantic one at that. She looks down at her Tapirmon partner, who tilts his head curiously.]

Boy, sounds like someone's dyin' over there.

[Frowning, Mabel cautiously walks over, raising a brow when she spots Milo trying to clamber back into one of the chutes.]

...Hey, um. ...You ok?

[hot_dawg]

[Milo jumps with a tiny, high-pitched screech. He looks back over his shoulder and sighs in relief, grabbing his chest.]

Y-yeah, yeah, uh! I'm just- I think I'm having a nightmare!

[He pinches himself and yelps.] Nope! Ohhh! Ok! Milo, you're gonna be ok... J-just gotta find the tank again, that's all-

[A Kamemon trots across the room, waving excitedly to Milo as he approaches.]

Did somebody say Milo? You're my partner! I've been so excited to mee-

[SCREAM]

[pigdazzler]

[Both Mabel and Aoshima jump a mile at Milo's sudden shriek upon being approached by Kamemon. Aoshima sidles behind Mabel's legs a little, watching Milo nervously while she tries to figure out what to do here.]

The...tank?

[Now what on EARTH was that supposed to mean?
Whatever, all she knows is this kid is REALLY not in a good place right now, so it's her job to try and calm him down. She glances briefly at Kamemon before looking back at Milo, moving her hands down slowly in a gesture.]

W-wait, wait! Just....breathe in, breathe out! Slooooowly. It'll make you feel better.

[hot_dawg]

[It's a good thing Mabel is taking control of the situation, because Kamemon is initially too shocked to respond.]

[Milo does as she says, taking big, shaky breaths. He leans against the wall, running on hand through his hair. Yup, this is real.]

The- the fish tank. I need it to get home!

[pigdazzler]

Y....your home is a fish tank?

[WELL....to each their own? He looks so worried though, he could live in a shoe box for all Mabel cared, but...well she didn't want to have to be the bearer of bad news, but..]

Well....I kinda already asked that, and apparently we...can't go home. Not right now, anyway.

terminal room/around town

[sonati]

[It's technically only been a few days since she left, but to Sonata, it feels like forever ago, considering all that's happened. A few days after the new Chosen first start arriving, Sonata also finds herself back where she first arrived... the first time around- the Terminal Room.

... Well, she's not the happiest about returning here, as it means having to deal with boring nanny Penguinmon and her equally boring roommates (who don't even talk to her!), but Sonata can at least see... her other friends here.

First, though, she wants to do what she didn't get to do the first time around- play with Culumon!]

Sonata will play! What kind of game do you want to play?

[... Sometime later, Sonata'll be making her way through the town back to her apartment. She doesn't look much different than before, save for maybe her concert uniform that she didn't have before, as well as the headset microphone she's wearing... which doesn't work.]

(ooc: requesting Culumon playtime?)

terminal room GOSH i am sorry for the delay!

[hootmons]

[Bouncing on his feet, Culumon cheers.]

Culu, culu, tag, tag-- wait, I've seen you before. How come?

[sonati]

That's because Sonata was here before, except then Sonata went back for a bit to help take back Akibastar.

But now Sonata's here again! And Sonata can play with Culumon.

[hootmons]

[Culumon's ears twitch and he tilts his head. Oh, okay. That makes sense.] Culuuu...

...Does Sonata want to play tag, huh? Huh? Culumon can play anything, cululu!

[sonati]

[Oh, you're giving her an idea.......]

Janken! Let's play janken! Loser is 'it'!

Terminal Room/eventually elsewhere!

[telemysticist]

[After calming down from his little spazz attack upon meeting PetitMamon, Gideon is finally listening to his partner and allowing her to get him up to speed.
She gives him the basics, which aren't hard for him to understand once he's paying attention.
And honestly, the more he learns about the situation... the better it sounds. Sure, he can't say he was expecting to suddenly be teleported to the other side of the world, even if it doesn't surprise him in the least that he's a Chosen. But considering the alternative? Hiding out in Japan, where the Gravity Falls authorities will probably never find him, with a loyal monster "servant" is definitely preferable to prison. Talk about thanking your lucky stars.]

Hold on, if this is Tokyo then how come ya speak French? Shouldn't ya be speakin' Japanese?

Not necessarily. Digimon don't come from Japan, zhey come from ze Digital World. We speak all languages! I suppose being French ees just... in my data, oui?

Think it has anythin' t'do with me knowin' how'ta speak French?

It ees possible!

Hmm...

[After Gideon and his partner finish in the Terminal Room, they'll probably start having a look around town to try and get familiar with things.]

Re: Terminal Room/eventually elsewhere!

[revvinguptheharley]

[bouncing around greeting people, the bubbly as ever Harley Quinn has appeared with her more subdued Bokomon in tow]

Hi HI new chosen! Dr. Harleen Quinnzel here! Professional psychatrist! Here in case you need to talk to someone!

[pigdazzler]

[If Gideon thought this wasn't going to be so bad, things were about to get that much better for him, and VERY worse for others.

While most of the Chosen arrived frightened and confused, Mabel arrived...well, mostly confused, but not exactly scared at all. In fact, she'd had more fun in the first five minutes than she could remember having in a long time, just sitting there and talking with her Tapirmon partner. After making a quick video to try and call out for Dipper- with no such luck- she and the newly dubbed Aoshima decided it was time to take a quick tour of the town.

As they walk, Mabel's still got questions for Aoshima even though she's nearly asked him everything under the sun.]

So...I guess Dipper's not here, is he?

Well...no, I guess not. If he is he must have just missed your video, somehow. Don't worry though, if he IS here we'll find him!

Pffft, knowing my bro he's probably still reading all the info-junk on his D-Terminal right now if he is here.

[Mabel laughs at the thought, not realizing that she can probably be heard by a Gideon and PetitMamon, who are conversing not that far away. In fact, Mabel and Aoshima are coming their way, and just haven't spotted them yet.]

[telemysticist]

[Suddenly, Gideon hears a laugh. Not just any laugh, one he'd recognize anywhere.
The same laugh he couldn't stop thinking about, or get out of his head, the night he met...]

--Mabel?!

[He quickly turns to see her and her partner heading in his direction. Immediately he excitedly takes off after her, despite having been in the midst of a conversation with PetitMamon.]

--?! Monsieur Gideon, wait!!

[Of course, she follows behind, trying to keep up with him.]

[pigdazzler]

[Mabel jumps so hard when she hears her name called that she nearly steps on Aoshima, who has to hop sideways out of her path. She knows that voice too, all too well. She just can't quite believe what she's hearing. Quickly she looks up, only to have her horrors confirmed when she sees a very familiar face making his way towards her.

Of all the people on the entire planet-]

Wha-..? Mab-MMF!!

[Aoshima is cut off when Mabel suddenly covers his snout with her hand and quickly scoops him up, looking around frantically for somewhere to hide. There's literally nowhere for her to go. There aren't as many Chosen still in the building as there once was, so she can't just pick a random stranger to hide behind. Aoshima is too small to hide behind himself...

In a panic, she holds the Tapirmon up in front of her face anyway, trying her best to crouch behind him. There she stands stock still, even though she's obviously visible and not really hidden at all.
Maybe if she stands still enough for long enough he'll just go away.]

[telemysticist]

["Hidden" behind Aoshima or not, it doesn't stop Gideon from ecstatically rushing over to her, with PetitMamon attempting to stay as close as she can. He's too overjoyed to care at all why Mabel is holding up the Digimon and ducking down like that, and besides, Tapirmon is a pig. There's no way that could be anything except Mabel's partner.]

MABEL!! Oh my goodness I can't believe it, you're really a chosen too?! Well butter me up and call me a biscuit, now EVERYTHIN's just perfect!

[Finally, PetitMamon manages to catch up to Gideon, now floating beside him again. For a chubby kid, he can really move when he wants to.]

Monsieur, do you know zhis girl?

[He turns to her, smiling and blushing with his hands on his cheeks.]

KNOW her? She's my peach dumplin', my marshmallow, my one and only queen!

So does zhat mean Monsieur Gideon... ees in LOVE~?♥

[She suddenly lets out an excited squee. While putting her hands to her cheeks, she sways adoringly in the air, in a similar manner to her human partner.]

Oh mon dieu, zhat is MAGNIFIQUE~! Zhere is nothing in zhis whole world more wonderful zhen LOVE~! Oh you are so lucky Monsieur, you must be crazy for one another, oui?

Oui!

[Great, now they're both squealing and giggling like lovesick idiots. At least she's right about Gideon being "crazy" for Mabel...]

Terminal Room

[bewarethefaeries]

[Today had been something that Laguna might have called...emotionally draining. Between the late night partying with his friends in celebration of Ultimecia's defeat, finally after 17 years getting to visit his wife's grave, and suddenly being sucked into some unknown land in the "Digital World"; he was feeling rather out of it and rightly so. Culumon would only receive a small pat on the head and a quick word of thanks before Laguna began to look around; trying his best to gain what little bearings he could]

Jeez...talk about bad luck; not even a day off the job and I'm already right back to work. *Sigh* Well, I suppose someone has to do it; I just hope Ellone can forgive me for being late again...

[He mumbled to himself between another hefty sigh. This was going to be a long, long experience; he could feel it in his bones]

[needsteaplz]

[Saori couldn't help but overhear Laguna when she was about to leave the Terminal room.

Actually, when I was sent back home, it was like I never left. So getting back to your original time and world isn't a problem. You just can't do it willingly.

[She laughs sheepishly.]

Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear that.

Cat, meet Fish

[hot_dawg]

[Milo makes his way through the city, followed closely behind by his Kamemon partner.]

Milo, you're going the wrong way! The Meeting Hall is over here!

Pssh, I know! But there's a Ferris wheel over there!

Can't I show you around later? It'd be nice if we could get you moved in, first..

And we totally will, but first I gotta take in my surroundings, y'know? One of which is a BIG HONKIN' FERRIS WHEEL.


[Milo is so focused on his conversation, he almost doesn't notice the woman they pass. He freezes in mid-step and chances a glance back over his shoulder. That lady has cat ears! And a tail!

There's an instinctive part of his fishy brain that is screaming at him to GET OUTTA THERE, but he forces those self-preservation senses aside. He can't be judgin' people he doesn't know! And besides, they're all human right now, so it's not like he's in any danger, right?

Of course now he's been staring at her for a few seconds.]

...Milo, are you ok?

[notmyprophecy]

[Hollyleaf's tail sways back and forth as she walks, with her Veemon beside her. Like Milo, she's a little...distracted...but for her, it's because she can feel his eyes on her.

She turns, blinking, and her right ear flicks; notably, it's torn, and across her right eye to her cheek bone are three scratch marks, which have formed into scars. Probably from the same wound?]

Are you lost, kit?

[hot_dawg]

Ghhg!

[Milo flinches, accidentally smacking Franklin in the head. The Kamemon readjusts his helmet with a small 'ow!']

hHUH, no, nope! Not at all, just, y'know.. lookin' around, gettin' used to things!

[Man, she looks pretty battle-scarred.. It reminds him of a certain hook-wearing Blobfish that he looked up to, back home. He shakes the distraction out of his head, glancing down at the ground.

It slowly starts to dawn on Franklin what might be making his partner skittish.]

He.. Just arrived!

[notmyprophecy]

[Hollyleaf's tail swishes.]

It's alright to ask. I was a cat. Or is it these? [She gestures to her scars.]

Hollyleaf, you're scaring him!

[Her mouth twitches into a smile.] Sorry. I'm trying to me more open, and I guess it's come across as invasive.

[hot_dawg]

No no, it's not that-! Well, kinda? I've never actually met a cat! I mean, I DID, but it was trying to eat me and- ...backing up.

I'm a fish! B-but I don't have a PROBLEM with you being a cat, I was just- it's cool, really! Wasn't sure, y'know?

And for the record, I actually like the scars!

Meeting Hall- Movin' in

[hot_dawg]

[It takes a little lot longer than it should for Kamemon to drag Milo to the Meeting Hall and get settled into their new room. Despite arriving in the middle of the day, the two of them spent so much time exploring the city that it's early evening when they finally get there.

Milo opens the front door to the apartment cautiously, knocking after having already stepped inside.]

Helloooo? Anybody home?
