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!

"Ugh. We can't get any privacy," Gizamon complained.

Kaldur wasn't sure what she was talking about at first, but he noticed she was staring past him. Kaldur turned his head and noticed a young girl and another digimon. The digimon was partially hidden behind the girl but still visible. Of course, the girl seemed shy as well.

Instead of being rude, like his partner, he offered a small smile. "It is all right. We were merely enjoying the water and I was just trying to sort out some of the information that was given to us." He paused and then gestured towards the water, "My name is Kaldur'ahm. You are more than welcome to stay...it will not bother me."

[anchi]

"Oh, thank you very much." She smiled and gave a short, polite bow. What the Digimon said didn't bother her and if he's new like her... Then they're all probably similar in that they had been waiting excitedly to meet their partners. Not that she understood this whole partner business...

On the other hand, though, there's Salamon. Who doesn't seem quite as pleased at Gizamon's remark.

"What's with that!? I- It's not like you guys own this place!" Salamon stubbornly retorted. Although she didn't move from her spot from behind Orine, though.

"Salamon." Orine gently chided Salamon before she turned around. She bent down a bit so that she could pick up her up and carry her in her arms. The sour expression didn't leave Salamon, but being carried felt nice.

Orine turned back and moved to sit on a nearby boulder.

"Kaldur... ahm-san?" She tried to pronounce his name since she's accustomed to Japanese names. She's not too confident that she said it right. "I'm Orine Aida. And this is Salamon."

The information tidbit he mentioned interested her as well, though. Since she didn't have the chance to talk to any others yet, Orine was feeling confused about the situation as well.

"Do you mean the message from... Ah, his name's Koushirou-san, I think?" She asked. "I appreciate that he took the time to explain everything, but... It's still really confusing, isn't it?"

Gizamon's hair started to bristle and she swam closer to shore. Kaldur, however, held a hand up and gave his digimon a look. "Gizamon, she is correct. We do not have claim over this river. It is all right to share." While he was scolding her, his voice was still gentle. It seemed he had been paired with quite the hot head but thankfully he was used to dealing with such personalities.

He offered them both a smile, "Please, if Kaldur is easier for you, you may call me that." He knew his name could be a mouthful for those not used to Atlantean names.

"And yes, it is Koushirou. I imagine he's a little busy right now to explain things further which is why I was trying to make sense of it on my own. But, you are right, there are still things I do not fully understand and would like to learn more about. But it is only the first day...perhaps more information will come as time passes." Not all problems could be solved over night after all.

"I hope so... It all seems like it's a complicated situation." Orine's accustomed to traveling to different planets. Or, rather, worlds in this case it seemed. What she wasn't used to is being brought into another world.

"Though... At least we got to meet them." She spoke referring to the Digimon. She pet Salamon who was resting on her lap and was now choosing to pout and ignore Gizamon.

"I don't really understand the whole partner thing, but... I think it must have made them really happy to meet their partners, didn't it?"

[acceptedburden]

He nodded in agreement. Complicated, indeed. Gizamon huffed and settled back down as well.

He recalled Gizamon's reaction to seeing him. It was in stark contrast to how she was acting now. She'd seemed very happy and affectionate, almost overly so. Now, well, apparently he was the only one she particularly cared for and Kaldur couldn't help but to wonder why. Perhaps he would ask some day, but he would not put Gizamon on the spot like that now.

"Yes, they did seem very excited about meeting us. I cannot say I understand it any better than you do, but it never hurts to make new friends."

[anchi]

"Mm! That's at least one good thing about this, right?" Orine was ever the optimist. That, however, got Salamon to started on talking again.

"Orine you're just naive. You were taken from your home so you should be angrier!" Salamon proclaimed, although underneath she wouldn't want Orine to go home now that she's finally here.

"Ehhh!? Re- Really...?" Orine replied in shock, "But I thought it might... be better if we could all get along right now..."

Team work and positivity had always been how 0048 did things at least.

[acceptedburden]

"Orine has a point." He paused and then added somewhat thoughtfully, "That is, there is not much we can do about our being brought here until we learn more about the reasons behind it. Returning is out of the question for the time being, at least based on what we have been told." Kaldur was not naive to simply trust Koushirou at his word, especially since he had not had a chance to meet him yet. However, there was very little conflicting information and absolutely no information that Kaldur had access to on his own just yet. He HAD to go with Koushirou's word or else have nothing to go on at all.

"That being the case it only makes sense that instead of complaining or bemoaning our current predicament we instead focus on working together to correct it. All of us wish to return home and with a common goal perhaps we can all be motivated to work together." Probably a lot more than needed to be said, but he didn't think Orine was naive at all. Granted he might be over estimating her take on things, but he certainly couldn't fault it.
