Hit by the A-Train, crashed in an airplane

Who: Deputymon and the Chosen of Terminal Tokyo
What: City Clean Up!
When: December 8-14
Where: The damaged parts of the city

It was just as Koushirou said: a good chunk of Terminal Tokyo was severely damaged. No matter how hard the Digimon of the city tried to put it together, they just weren't strong enough to clear away some of the more heavier pieces of debris. Deputymon, who had decided to lead the efforts to clean up the city was in dire need of help, and hoped that Koushirou's message (and offer of compensation) had reached the Chosen. A week should be plenty of time to clean up, especially since so many could become very strong Digimon indeed.

[[OOC: As stated, the Chosen will only be responsible with the clean up efforts for the week. For every day your characters help out, they will receive 500 BITS. You may talk with Deputymon himself, or you may mingle with other Chosen. It's free game if you wish to plot with others or just tag around.]]

Duo had heard the music while he was checking out the damaged areas that one guy had talked about. He didn't like this, all the buildings and stalls broken and turned to rubble. It hit too close to home, but the music was distracting at the very least. Making sure Solarmon was looking in the opposite direction, he ducked behind some of the larger pieces of rubble.

He was quiet as he moved along the different pieces of broken buildings and stalls. He wanted to find the music, where it was coming from and who was playing it. It didn't take him long to complete his mission; some green guy with a cart with a set of organ keys had it! His eyes went wide because the guy was green! But his surprise was cut short as Solarmon's voice rang out...

"Duo! Duo, where did you run off to this time?" Enter Solarmon, hovering around in a desperate attempt to locate his Chosen.

Beastboy glanced up from his work and waved cheerfully. "Happy Holidays dude!"

Chili also glanced up from a rock she had been punching to break into smaller easier to move pieces and took a pair of candy canes off the cart, delivering them to Duo and Solarmon with a sense of obligation. This was her job in the group and she was going to do it.

Duo remained hidden in the rubble he had found while he watched Beastboy and Chili interact with Solarmon. His partner simply accepted the candy canes before dipping in the air, much like he was bowing his head.

"Thank you, and the same to you. Um...do you think you could help me? I've lost track of my Chosen. He's a little boy with a long braid. Stands about this tall..." Solarmon lowers himself to the ground, leaving him hovering close to Duo's height. "He's wearing a black robe looking thing. He ducked away from me when I wasn't looking." Duo, watching the whole thing, kept quiet, curious to see if anyone had seen him hiding.

The two digimon and their chosen exchanged looks with each other shrugging.

"Sorry dude, no dice." Beastboy apologized, "But if you have something with his scent on it I bet Chili here could track em down!"

Chili looked resentful of having been volunteered but gave a curt nod. "Gaomon have an excellent sense of smell."

Solarmon rose into the air a little, looking just a little put out. "Unfortunately, I don't. He didn't wear his hat today, or I might have had that." The poor Digimon sighed. He just can't seem to keep up with the kid.

Duo, on the other hand, was tired of just sitting around. Sneaking around the rubble, he tried to keep as out of sight and as quiet as possible. He wanted a couple more of those candy canes (hey, they looked neat, okay?), and when he thought he could get away with it, he slooooooowly reached up to try and take some more of the candy canes.

As it so happened, despite being a more peaceful and gentle Digimon, Rita had developed some sharpened instincts over her time with Beastboy. And when she caught sight of the hand creeping up over the lip of the cart towards the candy canes she smiled and shuffled over, taking one out of the basket and gently prodding him with it.

"Here you go." She offered politely.

That was enough to get Chili and Beastboy to turn and spot the boy. "Oh hey dude, is that him?" He called back to Solarmon.

Solarmon turned to face Duo about the same time the child jumped back in surprise from the "sudden" appearance of Rita.

"What the hell? Where did you come from?!" Duo took a couple of steps back, but ended up stumbling over some rubble and fell on his butt. He winced and Solarmon floated closer to him.

"Duo, are you okay?"

"Yeah yeah, I'm fine." He huffed and glared at Rita. "Why'd you go and sneak up on me like that?!"

Solarmon simply sighed before turning his attention to Beastboy and the others. "I apologize for him. He's...rather jumpy."

Rita looked apologetic and hurt holding out the candycane to him.

"You were reaching for these so...I thought I'd just give you one of your own...you can have more if you like it's OK. We found alot."

Beastboy just chuckled "That's OK dude, we all get a little nervous when we first show up here."

Duo simply frowned between Rita and Solarmon as the orange set of gears moved closer to the pair. He knew he was about to get yelled at again, and truth be told, he didn't want to hear it. He shifted, looking ready to run if it came down to it.

"You shouldn't feel bad. Duo doesn't like anyone. I wouldn't take it personally." Solarmon dipped in front of Rita before looking to Beastboy. "If this is a little nervous, Sir, I'd hate to see what really nervous looks like."

Duo snarled up at Solarmon. "I'm right here, you damned hovering Alliance drone!" The Digimon in question just seemed to ignore him.

"I do apologize for his behaviour, though. If there is something he can do to make up for it, you may tell me and I'll see he does it."

Edited (I can't make up my mind, shhhhh) 2013-12-15 22:52 (UTC)

The duo exchanged looks at each other and nodded. Rita gently took one of Solarmon's gears and tried to lead him away "Well actually now that you mention it, we need a good solid Mon like yourself to help us break up some of the bigger chunks of rubble so we can fit it in our cart."

Beastboy just grinned at Duo and winked, "Some partners take some time to warm up to. Like siblings or something. I'm Beastboy by the way. Nice to meet you dude." Offering a hand in greeting.

"Oh, well, I can certainly help if you need it. That's why we were originally out here, after all." Solarmon followed Rita without protestation, readily willing to leave his partner in Beastboy's hands.

Duo followed the pair of Digimon with his eyes, watching them still even as Beastboy spoke. It wasn't until he noticed movement in his peripheral that he moved his head to look at the green boy. His eyes focused on the hand before meeting Beastboy's gaze. He didn't take the hand, but he did nod. His own greeting.

"M'Duo." His gaze drifted to Solarmon with Rita as the orange set of floating gears was busting up some of the larger pieces of debris. "And I don't know anything about siblings."

Beastboy put his hand down and grinned wiggling his pointed ears playfully.

"Well that's what's fun about life you know? New experiences. Though some people don't like surprises as much." He chuckled politely.

While Rita kept Solarmon distracted by demolishing rubble, Gaomon hopped out of the cart again and padded over to watch Duo. Unlike the chubby Psychemon, this little blue dog had stern and judgmental eyes, like she was waiting for everyone to prove themselves.

"Go on then muscles. Go show those two just how strong you are." Beastboy encouraged her and she shot him a stubborn frown. She didn't like taking orders from him, but she couldn't resist a challenge. She joined the other Mon and began punching large chunks of building into smaller more manageable pieces.

Duo offered Beastboy a shrug as the Gaomon hopped out of the cart. The sound made him focus his attention on the Digimon. Her eyes fixed on him, and he returned the stare with one just as judgmental. It was obvious in the way he tensed that he was ready to move if she gave him so much as a HINT of a reason to. He didn't even look to Beastboy until the Gaomon walked away.

"A real charmer."

"She's a little rough around the edges." Beastboy agreed with a grin, "But we all were at some point. But she's got a good heart and only wants to help." At least that's what Beastboy hoped.

"So where you from Duo? I'm from Jump City if you've heard of it...not many around here have." He added ruefully.

"I'm from a colony in the el-two sector of space. I doubt you've heard of it." He stood up and puffed his chest out a little bit. "And if you've got a problem with it, you can bite me." Even if he didn't like the colony, it was still home.

He laughed out loud "Why would I have a problem with it dude? You're from space! That is super cool! One of my best friends is from space...I got no idea where el-two is but it's still cool."

Because Beastboy is easily impressed.

Duo stared up at Beastboy and listened. Really, this guy didn't care?

"Wait. You're not bothered by it? Are you even from Earth because people from Earth don't really like the people from the colonies..." Otherwise, the Alliance wouldn't even exist.

Beastboy blinked, clearly confused.

"Well, I dunno how things are on your Earth dude, but me? I think space is awesome! And whatever the deal is with the colonies? I don't know dude. But what I do know is you're here right now. You say you live in space and that's pretty sweet in my book!"

Duo was silent for a longer moment, watching Beastboy with wide eyes before he scoffed.

"Of course an Earth person wouldn't know. The Alliance just has ya all blind. Really, if you guys saw what I've seen, ya wouldn't even be tryin' to take over the colonies in the first place."

Beastboy looked startled and held up his hands defensively.

"Easy dude easy! There is no Alliance where I come from. I'm a superhero, I live to like...prevent people from being messed with like that."

Not that he really understood the first thing about what Duo was talking about.

"...What's a superhero? Is that a pilot or something?"

Yeah, that was what Duo took from that conversation. He had no idea what a superhero was, what they're suppose to do. They didn't have "superheroes" on the colony or...anywhere as far as he knew.

"Eh...or something." He wiggles his hand indicating kind of sort of.

"See like, where I come from I have special powers that other people didn't have. And I used them to save peoples lives, fight bad guys and over all be totally awesome!"
