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.]

Hisame sat down after listening to Venusmon's small speech. He had taken some of the offered food-- some bread, fruit, and a bottle of soda-- before finding himself a bench he could sit down on. Tatara wanted to go play in the snow but was also fussing over the bag he had brought, worried that one particular item for one person would get crushed. Mao eventually took it from the machine-Digimon, walked over to where Hisame had seated himself and dropped it off, ignoring Tatara's cry to be gentle with it.

Hisame tilted his head a little and Mao grumbled, hefting his club onto his shoulder, "It isn't crushed. Worrywart."

The Goblinmon then waved off Tatara who went to do what he wanted to do. They watched others come and mill about the area while Tatara played in the snow.

Miwako spotted Hisame by himself and decided what better way to introduce yourself to someone you haven't met yet than to sit down next to them and say hi. So with her digimon following behind her she plops herself down in an empty spot next to him.

" Hi there. Are you enjoying the festivities? "

[happiestberry]

Miwako smiles more and kicks her feet under the bench happily.

" That's great to hear. What are you doing over here though? Don't you want to play in the snow or run around?"

[happiestberry]

"If you don't feel up to playing around, what are you in the mood for then," She gave him a curious look. She wanted to help everyone have a nice time.

[happiestberry]

Miwako tilted her head a little and just gave him a look. She wanted to know what he'd come up with after all.

Duo found Hisame and his partners purely on accident. Well, maybe not accident. It really wasn't hard to miss the excitement in Tatara's voice. With Solarmon otherwise occupied, it was a lot easier for Duo to sneak up to the bench. The snow, though, proved to be a bit more difficult to maneuver through. Sometimes it crunched under his feet. Other times, it simply hid a layer of ice. He managed to catch himself once or twice, but the last time had his feet sliding out from under him. With a yelp from behind the bench, he fell back on his butt.

"Ooowwww...."

[alive_through_luck]

"Y-Yeah... M'okay." Just his pride was bruised. He huffed some and looked up at Hisame with a small pout. "I really don't like this place. I keep slipping and falling down."

Being on the colonies all his life, he never had to deal with snow and ice. Now it was everywhere and he found he didn't like it. At all.

He glanced towards Mao's retreating back, his pout turning into a frown.

"He think I was gonna start something?"

[alive_through_luck]

Duo looked to the offered hand and nodded briefly before he took hold of it to help himself stand. His feet slide a little once he's up, but he seemed stable enough. Still, he reached over to grab hold of the back of the bench with a huff.

"Why's it gotta be cold and slippery like this? I can't hardly walk or anything. "

He glanced up at Hisame.

"Thanks."

Juri meets up with her roommate after getting some food for herself, and for Leomon of course. With a cute pair of earmuffs and her own little jacket, she's warm enough in the snow, choosing to enjoy the weather. Of course, while making her way to Hisame, Tatara catches her eye, and Juri giggles.

"He looks so happy there, doesn't he?"

[lionhearted_destiny]

"I never thought we'd get a party like this, after everything that's happened," she remarks with a tiny smile of her own. Then she quickly turns to Leomon and grins widely. Without words, he hands her a little box, which she hands to Hisame. "Here you go, Hisame-san."

[lionhearted_destiny]

"Thank you very much!" Juri takes the gift, smiling widely. Candy canes, a very nice tasty gift.

In Hisame's own bag are green mittens, warm.

"I'll make sure to share them with my friends."

Martin had caught the occasional glimpse of his brother's roommate on assorted trips over to his Chris's room to meet up with him, but, embarrassingly enough, he'd never actually really introduced himself or even stopped to chat.

He waves Cody and Adele off to go play in the snow, neither of them hesitating in the slightest since Adele immediately goes sledding off on her stomach in true penguin-style, and Cody sets about making a Snow-Bear. Both of them seem awfully at home in this weather.

Approaching Hisame's little group, he gives a cheery smile.

"Hey, I recognize these two," He nods his head towards Tatara and Mao.

"Hope you guys had some luck getting gifts then?"

[the_lion_roller]

"Hah, awesome!"

He grins, then extends a hand in greeting.

"H'my name's Martin. I'm Chris's brother. I don't think I've ever introduced myself."

He did have a tendency to be very "Go go go" on the occasion he'd met Chris at his apartment.

[the_lion_roller]

"Nice to meet you too."

He gives an easy-going chuckle, shifting the backpack on his shoulder.

"Oh hey, I've got something from me and Chris for you..."

He digs around in his backpack a moment before pulling out a scroll of drawing paper tied carefully with a gold ribbon.

"Merry Christmas."

If unfolded, the paper has some sketches of Hisame's partners, both Goblinmon and Hagurumon. Chris's neat hand-writing lines some of the sketches with little notes about goblins in folklore from their world, as well as some interesting tidbits on machinery and cog-works.
