Merry Christmas, Chosen...

[terminalmegas]

Who: Venusmon, everyone
What: The giving of the D-Streams
Where: Terminal City, Roaming Park
When: December 25th, 2013, morning

At the stroke of midnight on December 25th, every Chosen and their partners fall asleep wherever they are, with nothing able to wake them. They won't stay there all night, however. Bright and early, as if turned on by a switch, the Chosen will awaken in their beds to find their Digivices missing. The individual Digimon -- those without rooms, brought in like the Chosen -- similarly fall into slumber or stasis, waking where the stand in the morning in the morning.

They will all wake up with a note in their rooms, written in beautiful script. "Come to Roaming Park," it says. There's some kind of noise outside. Something drawing everyone out. Noticeable first is the fall of snow, so far absent from Terminal Tokyo. It covers, among everything else, Roaming Park, where on a bench there sits a Venusmon, with a very large sack. Around her are tables full of all sorts of food, and Digimon there both partaking in it and setting up more. It's a whole feast, not spoiled by the weather, but enhanced by it.

[ooc: Below there will be a thread to interact with Venusmon, where she will answer some questions and give out the D-Streams. Every non-canon Digimon character will receive a D-Stream, whether they see her or not. At the end of the day, they will appear in the Chosen's hands. This can also be used to generally mingle with each other and enjoy the snow.]

More like a kid than most teenagers Mikey spends a moment to play in the falling snow, happy and laughing without hesitation. After making a snow angel he can be found at the food table trying little bits here an there.

He's also keeping a look out for the people important to him and any of his friends he had gifts for, managing to have grabbed them before leaving his apartment. He is excited for the chance to give out his presents, and also because today is Christmas, that means two things to him, his first holiday he can just enjoy with Leatherhead, and the day he'd agreed to meet back up with his brother.

Maybe it was the day, or maybe he was finally healing like he should, but even the though of seeing Donnie couldn't be anything but a happy one at the moment.

[brain_behind_purple]

[This was it. It was Christmas, the day of the meeting. The day where after over a month, he was finally going to see his little brother again. Donnie wouldn't lie, he was nervous. But the urge to see his brother more than overpowered that. When Christmas had gotten closer, the genius realized how much he wanted to see his brother again. But he had been patient, and now it was finally going to pay off.

He had waited a while to look for Mikey, to give his brother time. But upon seeing his brother at the food table (which was no surprise, really) he had to pause for a minute. Was he ready? Was Mikey ready? Donnie knew that he wanted to see his brother again, but...

No, he couldn't think like that now. He had to do this. He'd just be careful, make sure to keep some distance and let Mikey decide if he was ready for them to be brothers again. So with a soft deep breath, he made his way over until he was behind his brother, but still keeping a fair amount of space in between them. He was quiet for a few more seconds before speaking.]

M-Mikey?

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

[Mikey heard the voice and stood still for a brief moment before taking a deep breath. Now that it was time, he felt himself both excited and afraid, but this couldn't wait any longer. He put a smile on his face before he even turned to face his brother.]

Donnie!

[Once he turned he looked right at his brother, his smile only faltering for a moment before growing. He was still wearing the scarf, but it had been losened up, and more like just a thing to wear, than something to cover the mark on his neck, which showed in a few places, not as dark as it had been at their second fight. In spite of the lingering scars, he stepped forward to be near his brother, moving to within arms reach, trying to make sure he didn't move too close to fast for Donnie.]

Hey, how's your leg? Kind of a bummer it happened before Christmas... right?

[More and more he wanted to just fling his arms around his brother and hug him, and he started feeling like he could cry, though he wasn't really feeling sad.]

[brain_behind_purple]

[When Mikey turned, Donnie was about to attempt a smile but he then saw the scarf. He saw the markings which may have faded some since the fight, but it was enough to make the memory of the first fight flash before him. His grip on his crutches tightened slightly, and Arte took notice. But she merely put a hand on his good leg, which was enough to get the teen to take in a silent breath and push the memory away before it could affect him.

He could do this. He couldn't back away now. He'd waited long enough to see his brother again and he wasn't going to back away now.

He was surprised when Mikey moved closer seemingly without being afraid of him. He felt the urge to hold onto the younger teen and never let go while apologizing over and over for everything that happened. But he resisted, he'd give Mikey time before he did anything.]

It's doing better, I still need my cast for three more weeks. And yeah, it really stinks that it happened now thanks to a certain someone [He glances at Paolo, who ducks behind Arte, before looking at Mikey again] So ugh... how have you been?

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

[Mikey waited patiently for Donnie to work past the moment, he wasn't sure if he should offer a hand or leave his brother be. But with Arte's help he seemed to push past it and while it wasn't exactly a smile it was something.]

I've been... good, I kept myself busy, making things, getting ready for Christmas... Cooking. Oh, um how has that been? Have I been making things you like? W-when I heard about your leg I didn't know what to do because coming over wouldn't help you but... I didn't want to act like it didn't mean anything to me... Leader and Kitty suggested I cook food to send to you... since cooking with a broken leg might be hard.

[He looked somewhat worried, and really he was a bit anxious. He wanted to know that what he had been sending for his brother was good food for him.]

And here comes Leatherhead, dragging a big box out in the snow, a box about as big as he is. Once he manages to drag it out to a safe place, he immediately goes out to meet his friend. Duke and Monodramon head out with Leatherhead, Duke making Monodramon carry out presents.

But once he sees Mikey, he's more than happy to run over and give Mikey the biggest hug he can muster. He might not know exactly what this holiday mean, but he realizes its importance to Mikey.

"Michelangelo! ...is it the right day?"

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Mikey notices his boyfriend just before the hug comes so he is able to be ready and return it, laughing a little bit at the action.

"It is. And Merry Christmas Leatherhead." He says, smiling brightly at him. "oh, I have a present for you! I'd like to give it to you now."

[bigsoftie]

Leatherhead nearly gasped at the idea of such a thing. He thought of presents for him too?

"For me? I...I wish to give presents too..."

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

"Yeah, I have part of it here with me." he said with a nod before looking slightly confused for a moment and then brightening up suddenly. "Y-you have a present for me?"

[happiestberry]

Guess who spotted one of her new friends. Go on guess! Do you give up? It was Miwako! And to let herself be known she ran up behind him at full force and jumped onto his back with so much excitement.

"Mikeyyyyyyyy!" She squealed happily as she hugged onto him.

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Oh shoot that was second guess, first guess would have been Mikey, but then again he was a bit preoccupied at the moment. Still when she jumpped on his back he quickly recognized his friend, and without wasting stood so that he was giving her a piggy back ride.

"Miwako~!" He reached over top behind him to give the girl a return hug, despite her being on the wrong side of him for it. "Merry Christmas!"

[happiestberry]

She let out a cheerful squeal and hugged onto him even more. He got it in one guess which made her even more excited. She hugged onto him more and buried her face into his neck as she held onto him.

" Merry Christmas, Mikey! I'm glad I got to find you!"

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

He laughed a little bit when Miwako burying her face his into his neck hit a ticklish spot.

"I'm glad you found me too! Now I can give you your gift!"

[Is Action Spam okay?]

[alive_through_luck]

[Duo's been watching Michelangelo for a little bit now. He can't really understand why anyone would want to be out in the snow. It's cold, hard to walk through, and when it melts it just makes Duo all went and even more cold than he was to begin with.

Still, Duo's curious about this guy. He remembers how nice Mikey had been when he had first arrived, so...

He waits, though, until Michelangelo is poking around at the table before he makes his way over. He points at some of the fruit that's halfway down the table.]

Those're good. You try 'em yet?

A-okay~!

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

[Mikey heard Duo and he perked up, looking at him with a big smile. He glances the way the boy's pointing before looking back at him.]

No, not yet, but there's plenty I still haven't tried.

Merry Christmas, by the way.

Hee! Thank you! /o/

[alive_through_luck]

... Merry Christmas to you too. But you should really try those fruit things. They're good.

[Duo grabs for something else, though, since the fruit were just out of reach. Also, it's something new.]

What were you doing in this white stuff earlier? I saw you rolling around in it...

Of course <3

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Mmm I will then, since they come so highly recommended.

[The teen shifts around to Duo's other side to grab two, one for himself and one for the boy.]

The snow? I was playing in it! I've never had the chance to see snow like that. Growing up we only got to see what drifted down through the sewer grate before it melted.

[trainsurdragons]

Hiccup has been spending most of his time working on his own Christmas gifts, but during a break he decided to walk around to see if he could scout out some friends himself. He hails Mikey with a small wave when he sees him in the distance, Fearless riding on his shoulders and Courageous following at his heels.

"Hey, Mikey!"

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Mikey himself sees Hiccup just after putting a huge bite of food in his mouth. He just waves for a moment before chewing furiously and then swallowing the whole thing down so that he can speak without being rude.

"Hiccup! Hi, Marry Christmas!"

[trainsurdragons]

Hiccup chuckles, nodding to the former turtle. "Merry Christmas. How's the food? Good, I'm guessing?" He had just gotten around to taking a break himself, so it won't be long until he gets something to eat too.

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

"Yeah, it's pretty good. You should have some, before people like me eat it all." He added a laugh to show it was supposed to be a joke, but it looked like food was a little thinner near the teen where he'd eaten quite a bit.

[beingthecreature]

An unsuspecting Mikey might be nailed in the shoulder by a quickly made snowball, but whether or not it actually hit there would be a slightly suspicious sign nearby. Chris was standing upright and looking off whistling idly, brushing what looked like a whole lot of snow off his gloves.

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Mikey, oblivious as he was with food in hand, hadn't noticed the snow ball until it hit. But once he did he glanced around until he found the perpetrator.

Once he spotted Chris he made as if he had dropped some food, leaning down to pick it up, really he was just grabbing a ball of snow. He pressed it together so it would stick rather than break up when the threw it. He stood up naturally before turning and making sure he had his sights on Chris before throwing his retaliation snow ball. His aim was dead on, and the snow ball was going fairly fast, meant to hit the other guy in the chest.

[beingthecreature]

Chris' eyes widened slightly and he cringed back, bringing up his hands as the snowball broke over him. Alright, so he'd only been aiming to get Mikey's attention, he had a gift for the kid after all. But he supposed a quick snowball fight wouldn't be too out of place.

He made absolutely no secret of kneeling down and scooping up a nice handful of snow, patting it into a ball. Be afraid of that grin, Michelangelo. Be afraid.

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

This time Mikey didn't try to hide as he scooped up some more snow. He quickly shaped his snowball, grinning the the whole time.

"This is your one morning, and the waterballoon Master and things aren't that different." He reached back preparing to throw at Chris.
