New Arrivals: Let's Have Some Fun

[terminalhelpers]

Characters: Everyone! (Only new arrivals are allowed in the Terminal Room)
When: 4 MAY 2013
Where: Terminal Room or all over town!
What: An open mingle log for everyone to play in!

A calm had swept over Terminal Tokyo, as the Chosen Children had successfully repel the Beemon attack and began to clean up their city. All was well and life would go on, though some scars would take a while to heal. But as the saying goes, there is no rest for the weary.

Another earthquake tore through the Digital World. One on the scale of the one that had brought so many of the current Chosen to the Digtal World. Once again, dozens of Chosen were making their way to the Digital World. Destiny was calling once more and so were their partners...

Every chute in the Terminal Room activated while the small Digimon known as Culumon trembled with excitement. There were so many lonely Digimon that had appeared recently and--finally-- their partners had arrived!


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!

[ Misha grunts at the voice, emotions coiling themselves into an untangleable mess as she tries to sort the question to an appropriate answer. She sucks a breath in, pushing her palms into her eyes before pushing herself to her knees. ]

Nothing. Just having a terrible, completely horrible reminder of when I was kidnapped between dimensions when I was a child. Am I bothering you?

[ She was trying to come out sarcastic and unbelievable with the statement, but it's all too raw to manage. It feels like every part of her is about to shake into pieces. Why is this all happening again?! ]

[sawhell]

[So it was what it sounded like, huh? Under other circumstances Ed would be prepared to call this woman out on her failed attempt at sarcasm, but seeing as she was a sobbing wreck about half a minute ago, he magnanimously restrains himself to raising an eyebrow.]

Not really. Sounds to me like you've already got one up on most of the people they've been dragging out here. [Something of a leap just from the letter they've been given? Well, yeah. Nothing wrong with that.]

I'd find somewhere else to do it if I were you, though. It's only gonna get busier.

[interspace]

[ She hasn't even gotten to the stage of reading the letter yet. It doesn't feel like she has much of a leg-up. ]

Right. Yeah, good... good idea.

[ Unfortunately, when she goes to stand up... her legs are too jelly-like to hold her, and she falls back to her knees. There's an aborted sob as she realizes her power did not catch her despite all attempts to activate it, and a hand goes to cover her mouth to hold it in. ]

For God's sake...!

[sawhell]

...You sure you're okay? [It's pretty obvious what he thinks the answer should be, but watching her has taken some of the usual edge off his voice.

He leans over slightly to offer her a gloved hand.] C'mon. Hanging around in here forever won't get any of us the answers we want.

[interspace]

[ There is notable hesitation in accepting the help. Soon enough, the desire to get away from any other prying eyes and curious glances is enough to prod her into accepting, and she uses the leverage to pull herself to her feet and stay there. Ed might notice now that she's yet to even receive her digivice, much less the D-Terminal or her welcome letter. ]

Could really do with some answers right now.

[sawhell]

[Once Ed is convinced she isn't immediately about to collapse into another heap, he lets go rather quickly and steps back to give her some space.]

Yeah, well, isn't that always true? But somehow I doubt you'll convince God himself to up and bring them to you if you sit and wait for long enough. Nothing's that easy.

[With his other hand, he absently tosses his closed D-Terminal a few inches into the air and catches it again.]

I'd be more worried about what they apparently are handing us right away, to be honest.

[interspace]

No shit, Sherlock.

[ She watches him fiddle with the device, but has no reason to think it isn't something he brought from home himself. ]

What?

[sawhell]

[Ed looks up at her, frowning a little. ...Well, maybe he can buy that a little shot of apparent emotional trauma might have been slightly more distracting than a hyperactive rabbit chimera.

He jabs his free thumb over his shoulder, towards the table.] Back there, if you didn't look already. Otherwise you'd know what I mean.

[Then, because he figures he's wasted more than enough time, he sweeps past her - long coats are pretty good for that kind of thing.] Later.

[interspace]

[ She nods, then takes a deep breath to try and push past the shakes. It doesn't work. ]

Thanks, kid.
