HOLIDAY ARRIVALS.

[terminalrookies]

Characters: Everyone! (Only new arrivals are allowed in the Terminal Room)
When: Starting December 3rd, 2013
Where: Terminal Room or all over town!
What: An open mingle log for everyone to play in!

It has been a long November, and the weather is starting to get colder, a side-effect of the worlds merging. Maybe it's welcome, maybe it's a hindrance, but a rumble rises at the start of the day, signalling new Chosen are starting to arrive. Culumon bounces about the Terminal Room, lonely after waiting so long. Stepping outside, the Chosen will find a bit of a mess before them. The city's been through a lot lately.

Outside the Main Terminal, there is a bin with pamphlets to help supplement the information received on the new Chosen's D-Terminals. The information is...a little bit outdated, with last month's troubling reveals.

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!

Oh no...

What did you say?!

[Oh, Rider, what did you do? Before Solarmon has time to react, Duo is stepping out from behind the rubble and marching straight up to Rider. He's got his serious face on.]

I'm not scared of you! What do you think I am? A coward?

Duo, what are you doing?

[bigger_and_better]

I certainly wouldn't call you a coward, standing up to me like that. That your partner back there?

[He looks over at where Solarmon was hiding with the boy.]

[alive_through_luck]

I don't back down from anyone. Got that?

[He doesn't even look back at the mention of Solarmon. He just jerks his thumb back in the Digimon's direction.]

Yeah, sure, he's suppose to be my partner, but he can't keep up.

It's not my fault you run and hide all the time.

[Enter Solarmon, looking rather huffy. Duo pays him no mind.]

[bigger_and_better]

[Rider chuckles.]

Running and hiding, huh?

[alive_through_luck]

Yeah. What of it? You do what you gotta to survive. Don't you know anything?

[He's totally not phased by Solarmon's attitude. The big guy in front of him has his sole attention.]

So, what are you? You're big like a mobile suit, but you look like a person.

[bigger_and_better]

[Rider keeps his gut reaction to the boy's response to himself. What kind of life has this boy led, he wonders.]

I am a person, boy. See? Muscles and everything.

[He flexes his huge biceps and grins.]

[alive_through_luck]

[You really don't wanna know, Rider. Don't ask.

Duo is still skeptical. They look like muscles. He frowns and stands up on the very tips of his toes so that when he stretches his hand above his head, he can get closer to touching Rider's arm.]

My name ain't Boy. It's Duo, so you better remember it.

[bigger_and_better]

[Rider obligingly kneels down and flexes again, so the boy can feel the rock hard biceps.]

Don't worry, Duo, I wouldn't forget a kid as stubborn as an ox!

[alive_through_luck]

[Well...he feels human. Even if the muscles were hard as metal. He nods his head slowly, coming to a silent decision. Okay, so he's human. Just a large one.]

He's not stubborn. He's a rather nasty digi-jerk.

[Well, hello to you, too, Solarmon. How nice of you to pipe up.

The Digimon simply makes Duo tense up and pull away from Rider. He doesn't say anything, though. Not in his defense or even to insult Solarmon.]

[bigger_and_better]

You do understand that Digimon is here to protect you, don't you?

[alive_through_luck]

Yeah, someone said that before. He's just being a pain in my a--

I beg your pardon! You're the one being a pain!

[Hoo boy...this isn't going to be pretty...]

[bigger_and_better]

[Rider rolls his eyes, and so does Leormon. A moment later, both Chosen Child and Digimon partner have been apprehended, Duo by the back of his shirt collar and Solarmon by a couple teeth of one gear. Rider hefts them both off the ground and stands up to his full height, staring at the two of them with a flat look.]

I do not mandate that the two of you get along, but you must be more willing to work as a team.

[alive_through_luck]

H-Hey! Pumme down!

[Duo makes to kick at Rider's arm or wrist or...where ever he can land a kick with those bitty legs of his. Solarmon tries to spin his gears to get out of the grasp, but to no avail.]

It's not my fault that he is just impossible to work with! Honestly! You try getting him to do anything productive.

[bigger_and_better]

[Even if the kicks collide, they barely do more than tickle. Rider continues to stare at them.]

I can hold you like this the whole day.

[alive_through_luck]

[Solarmon doesn't seem to be putting up much in the way of resistance. It's Duo who's still fighting, kicking and punching where he can.]

I said pumme down, you damn jerk! You're just as bad as the Alliance!

[bigger_and_better]

You're gonna wear out before I do, kid. And where's that gonna leave you?

[alive_through_luck]

[Nope, Duo is just going to keep kicking at Rider's arm. Well...at least until he actually does where himself out. He'll just glare at Rider instead as he breathes heavily from exertion.]
