play, play, play! (april 2013-- game start!)

[terminalmods]

Characters: EVERYONE!
When: 4 March 2013
Where: Terminal Room or all over town!
What: An open mingle log for everyone to play in!

The Digital World had been having a great deal of earthquakes the last six months. The first was the largest of them and had ended in the shifting of the planes. Since then earthquakes happened periodically, often sending new Chosen Children with it. At first it was Chosen that the Digital World knew and rejoiced, but now and then it would send new Chosen.

Today was different, however. The earthquake that rattled the Digital World felt almost as bad as the first, but there was a difference this time. Suddenly dozens of children were making their way to the Digital World. Destiny was calling 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!

"That's what the letter said. I dunno, I think it could be worse," Jack answers.

Hawkmon couldn't be sure, but he thinks he can read the gentle fall of Jack's shoulders, and the slight play at the corners of his mouth. It could be a lot worse, couldn't it, Jack? I hope someday you'll tell me why...

"At least it's not raining," Jack adds a moment later.

"Or hailing," Hawkmon adds with a giggle. That earns him a quirk of Jack's eyebrow, which gets Hawkmon to grin kind of guiltily.

Hiccup nods with a roll of his eyes. "Hail and snow I could do without for a while. We were stuck right in the middle of the BIGGEST blizzard we've seen in a while back home before I was brought here."

Gomamon nods, shaking his head, "Yeah, from the way Hic described it he made it sound like it was turnin' the island into nothin' but a gigantic snowball!"

[okay_agame]

"Giant snowball, huh?" Jack taps his staff against his shoulder, letting it rest there. "Sounds like fun." He pauses, drumming his fingers on the staff. "I was always kind of a winter guy though."

[trainsurdragons]

"I don't....well I wouldn't mind it so much if it weren't so...often back home! We have months and months of nonstop snow at a time," Hiccup explains, looking down with a sigh.

[okay_agame]

Hawkmon's beak drops open.

"Now there's a place I'd love to live." Jack chuckles.

"Really, Jack?" Hawkmon asks. "You don't mind the cold?"

[trainsurdragons]

"Are you...sure?" Hiccup looks pretty surprised by that. "The weather on Berk is downright nasty."

[okay_agame]

"You could say the wind's a good friend of mine." Jack twirls his staff, fast enough to produce a tiny breeze.

[trainsurdragons]

"Mm...Well, I'd like to see you sing that tune on Berk." Hiccup sighs, but smiles anyway. "Then again, it....does have a sort of charm I guess."

[okay_agame]

"Everywhere does, if you look in the right places." Jack had been pretty much all over the world, even places there should've never been snow. He'd found something to love about all of them, even if it was something small.

"What's Berk like?"

[trainsurdragons]

"Well uh..." Hiccup looks up thoughtfully, tapping his fingers against his forearm.

"It's an island smack dab in the middle of scenic nowhere, snows nine months out of the year and hails the other three, aand....we have dragons." He says that matter of factly. "Lots and lots of dragons."

[okay_agame]

"Dragons? Really?" Jack tilts his head in a show of bemusement. "That's pretty cool."

[trainsurdragons]

"Y...you think?" He could get used to having good reactions to dragons, and honestly that sortof catches him off guard.

"You don't think they're....vicious, blood-thirsty creatures?"

[okay_agame]

"How could I? I've never actually seen one before." He swings his staff back up to his shoulder, and takes a couple aimless steps around.

"I bet they're kind of cute, once you get to know them. That's how most scary things are."

...Except for Pitch.

[trainsurdragons]

"W...well I...I'm glad you think so, Jack! ...and that's more like the truth than you'd think." Especially when dragons like Toothless were involved. He's practically harmless, just so long as you're not trying to hurt him or Hiccup.

[okay_agame]

"Can't be much worse than the Boogeyman, right?" Jack gives a chuckle, making a joke out of something that was...actually pretty serious, at least for him.

[trainsurdragons]

The viking chuckles too, shaking his head. That was sorta out of the blue, but oh well. "I guess not. Then again, I'm used to them by now."

[okay_agame]

"Big firebreathing monsters with huge teeth and claws? I don't blame you."

[trainsurdragons]

Ok, Hiccup can't help but roll his eyes slightly at that.

"It's a long story."

[okay_agame]

"Aren't they all? Some things just take some getting used to, that's all. Ever seen a family try to a adopt a really big dog?"

Jack shrugs. "I bet you it'll take a while for some of us to become good friends with our partners, too, but that doesn't mean it won't happen."

[trainsurdragons]

He nods, folding his arms. "Yeah, you're right. If anything is going to really take a whole lot of getting used to, it would definitely be this place, that's for sure."

[okay_agame]

Jack reaches to ruffle Hawkmon's head feathers. "But I think once we get the hang of the place, it won't be that different from home."

Hawkmon never would have imagined he'd like getting his feathers ruffled, but he finds himself leaning into Jack's hand with a goofy smile.

[trainsurdragons]

Hiccup grins at the pair, glancing over at Gomamon still on his shoulder. He can't help but hope that he and Gomamon would turn out to be such good friends as well. "Yeah, I think you're right Jack. It's just going to take some time."
