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!

"Hey hey dude, relax. no worries."

As springy as a grass hopper Beastboy bounced over to the bench, hopped over the back and next to him sticking out a hand in greeting.

"I'm Beastboy, nice to meetcha!"

Relax; he's tried. If it were that easy...

He stares at the hand in front of him. His mouth is dry, his body feels hot, and his breathing keeps trying to speed up...but Cam greets Beastboy, pulling his hand back after a quick shake.

"Cam."

Lucemon, on Cam's other side, has a hand on his arm, one of the spots that glitches more than the rest of his body. He can feel it, acutely, through the red hoodie he's wearing. He's not sure if it makes him uncomfortable or not.

"Dude, what's that?" Beastboy's eyes zeroed in on the peculiar flickering and in his usual way, completely disregarding personal space to lean closer and peer at it.

Campbell shrugs uncomfortably; it's not like he can hide it. "Just...a glitch. Could you-- could you, like. Back up?"

Personal space is one of his comforts.

"Huh?" Beastboy looks puzzled at the question but Psychemon grabs him by his collar and drags him back to his side of the bench.

"I'm sorry about him, he's practically feral." She muttered making Beastboy laugh.

"No way dude, I'm a city boy. Even if I'm the one man animal kingdom."

For a moment Cam wants to say it's fine, or apologize, but he just stumbles over his tongue, still hung up on the fact that this person is green. "Oh," he settles for, even though he doesn't quite understand what Beastboy means.

If he were more in the sharing mood, Cam would say he's from a small town and likes things rural, unimposing. He would say he's got a bad association with cities, but it's probably just him. He would say he wanted to like Toronto more, but things just turned out the way they did.

But he's not, so he doesn't, glancing at Lucemon periodically, as she's his only lifeline.

She says, "I think he's shy," which Cam doesn't really appreciate... but he supposes it's true, in a sense.

"Aw that's cool dude." Beastboy grinned brightly keeping his space this time. "We're all on the same team after all so no need to worry." He tried to be as sympathetic and encouraging as he could sound. And not for the first time wished he could turn into a cat or a dog. Those were always great ice breakers.

Likely, that's the wrong thing to say, because Cam tenses. "...The same team, huh?" His throat goes tight and his hands ball up into fists. More flickering.

"Campbell...?" Lucemon tilts her head and pokes his shoulder.

Cam blinks a few times. His eyes are bright, and he's clenched his fists so tight they're becoming whiter and whiter... But he lets them relax, despite how uncomfortable he feels, and he murmurs out an apology. "Yeah. It's...fine."

Now Beastboy looks worried. What could have caused such a reaction?

"Uh...sorry dude..." He mumbles not sure what he did wrong. Psychemon is curious too, but trying not to stare at Cam so she chooses a neutral spot on Beastboy to look at.

As if he realizes just then how this appears, Campbell's face starts to flush, and he feels very hot. He's already making an awful impression. First there was when the first arrived, now this? "N-no, it's. I. It's fi--"

Lucemon half-leaps from the bench, grabbing on to Cam's hand and pulling him up unexpectedly. "I think he needs a walk!" She declares.

With nothing to say or do to help, Cam just nods, trying to look at the ground only.

"Uh...sure dude." Beastboy smiled softly, "Don't worry about it OK? We all get nervous sometimes."

Psychemon sighed and mumbled "Tell me about it."

That puzzled Beastboy and he looked back to her. "You're nervous?"

"Well yeah I mean, I just met you and we're supposed to work together."

Beastboy's smile got warmer. "No need to worry. It's all chill."

Hovering next to Cam, Lucemon pats his hand. "We'll all get better at this, you'll see."

To be honest, Cam doesn't know if he believes that. There's so much to do here, and he's supposed to save the world at that? They picked the wrong person. He'll just mess it all up. But he doesn't say any of this, and he nods, though he doesn't agree.

As Lucemon starts to pull Cam's arm lightly, he looks back up. "Nice...meeting you," he mumbles out to Beastboy and Psychemon. There was a time when he'd want to put on a face for new people, but he thinks that time's past.
