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.]

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."

"For me? Ya mean, you guys got me something?" Duo was wide-eyed as he looked at the small cake, Tatara, Hisame, then the cake again. First the clothes from Chika, the Shiki's present, and now this? He was...well, surprised was good enough for it. He could feel his cheeks redden before he looked between Hisame and Tatara. This wasn't something he was use to, and he was both embarrassed and cautious, and made him wonder if the scarf he had left around their apartment doorknob had been noticed.

He gulped silently before he spoke again.

"You...You didn't have to, ya know. M'use to not getting things like that."

[alive_through_luck]

Duo took the cake carefully and simply stared down at it. Really, to most people it wasn't that much, but to Duo it meant a lot. He never got presents before he came here. Well, Sister and Father got him things, but that was it.

He held the cake close, and hid his mouth and nose behind the scarf he wore. He didn't want them to see him smiling. "Thank you," he mumbled. And he meant it.

[alive_through_luck]

Duo smiled still behind his scarf before his eyes glanced towards the tables. Oh! He looked up at Hisame and held the cake out.

"Hey, hold this! I have an idea!"

[alive_through_luck]

Nodding when he's sure that Hisame has the cake, Duo takes off for the tables of food. He slips and falls a few times on the way there, and on the way back, but he's on a mission and doesn't stop until he comes back. Slightly out of breath, he holds up four forks.

"Here!"

He smiles up at Hisame before taking one and offering it to Tatara. "One for you!" One is handed to Hisame. "And you!" And then he looks around for Mao. "Hey! Ya wanna fork?!" Excited child speak. Everything slurs together and Duo has no idea that it might sound the slightest bit bad.

[alive_through_luck]

Duo is smiling brightly as he moves back to over to Hisame. He takes the cake and sits down on the bench, opening the cake before he looks at the others.

"Come on! We can all have some!"
