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

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!

Jin had been rather shocked at first to find himself in an entirely different world. Computers and AIs where he came from were incredibly advanced and it was common for entire environments to exist in a digital form, but for something like this to have simply sprung into being...it seemed impossible. But he hadn't been anywhere near the equipment necessary to enter one of those digital environments, so obviously this wasn't one of them.

Fortunately for many, he wasn't the sort to panic. Even when he'd met his partner he'd only reacted with surprise and then interest. Now he stood at the viewing station at the top of Tokyo Tower, Veemon looking at him curiously.

Sitting as casually as they could, two very strange creatures were chatting as then nibbled on some brightly colored taffy.

One was a Psychemon, round build and soft skin with a well worn colorful pelt with traces of glitter in it. The expression she wore on her face was a mix of concern and confusion.

The other, a lanky humanoid with green skin, hair and eyes. His pointed ears were pricked with curiosity as he kept looking every which way in amazement at all the different creatures milling about.

"What's that one?" He asked pointing ahead with a grin of barely contained glee.

"An Agumon." She replied wishing he wouldn't point at Mon who were just waiting for their partners.

"And that one?"

"Gomamon."

"Oh dude! What about that one? The plant one?"

"A Palmon...and please not so loud." She begged feeling a burn of embarrassment as more eyes settled on the loud green boy.

He did not lower his voice either, taking another bite of the taffy she had greeted him with before bursting out, "oh hey look! That one looks like you! Are you guys related?"

The Psychemon just buried her embaressed red face in her paws, "No, we're not. Look can't we talk more somewhere where there are less people?" She looked up for his answer but let out a yelp when she saw he was gone.

Darting her head around she spotted him greeting some random being, without a hint of shyness. She stumbled to her feet and scurried to catch up just in time to hear him say introduce himself.

"Hey! I'm Beastboy! What's up?"

Henry's just met his partner, Gaomon, at the Terminal Room. They... seem to be hitting it off quite quickly. Sure he could sit around and wonder how the heck he got transported into a place he didn't know... but that's not really his style. Besides, there's a little two legged wolf who's seems very happy to have him here. And Henry would be lying if he didn't think it was completely amazing that he has a partner who will never, ever leave him.

"So you're mine?" That's what they've said anyway, "How long've you been waiting?" He has to at least ask about it.

"Darling, that hardly matters now. Besides, such lonely days are best left in the past. I've a future by your side, and nothing shall tear me away. Ah yes, my name is Gaomon. I'm ever so pleased to be with you."

"I'm Henry. I'm glad we're finally together." Even if he had no awareness of the digimon's existence before today.

Kyouko!

[Somewhere on a bench right outside the meeting hall, her face practically buried in her D-Terminal, sits a quiet white-haired teenager. Her ankles are crossed, her posture relaxed, and her gaze and expression even as she scans the contents of her new device in silence. At her feet is a Labramon. . . a fairly excitable one judging by the way she's circling her partner's feet, tail wagging and ears perked forward]

Kyoukooooo!

[There's no response as the girl continues to read, clearly absorbed in her work]

Kyoukokyoukokyoukokyoukooooo--

-- yes, Labramon?

[The girl interrupts, and her gaze finally flickers up from her D-Terminal. The Labrador's ears twitch, and she leaps up to rest her paws on her partner's lap, tongue lolling out of her mouth.]

Hey! You shouldn't waste your time reading! There's a lot to explore, you know? Let's get going! My nose can sniff out the best of adventures!

Adventure isn't quite what I'm after. [Kyouko lifts a gloved finger and taps at the screen of her D-Terminal] And adventure without preparation and knowledge is foolhardy.

[Labramon lets out a small whine, before she rests her muzzle on Kyouko's knee, nose twitching]

So I gotta wait till you're done reading that guide. . .?

If you will. [Again, the girl drops her gaze to the device in front of her] They do say patience is a virtue.

And boredome killed the cat. . .

Curiosity, actually. [A small smile quirks up the corners of Kyouko's lips] But perhaps, that's close enough.

[Kyouko seems pretty absorbed with the Newbie Guide on her D-Terminal, but for anyone walking close enough, they may find themselves tailed by a pretty happy-go-lucky Labramon sniffing at their feet]

It was a certain Veemon that Beastboy had decided to run up to and he waved without any more hesitation than the strange human looking thing had.

"Hi, I'm Veemon! I'm just waiting for my partner to catch up. He's been dragging his feet since he got here."

First, from the nothingness, there is light. She thinks it must be Sora's heart. Her thoughts are fledglings, only faintly there, and so she doesn't think about how it's strange that she's thinking at all. It feels like waking up, but not after a long dream. It feels like slowly opening your eyes, even though you haven't had enough sleep. That's when she realizes that there's something wrong. Not long after, the pain starts. Her thinking stops, then, because though she's initially confused, it quickly becomes too much for her to bear, let alone for her to spare thoughts.

There is the sound of a door opening, the mechanical kind, like at the Castle. Xion doesn't have time to collect herself before her knees quake and give way. She stumbles out of the chute and falls, but doesn't let out a cry. She's still in too much shock for that.

When you're brought back from non-existence and dumped into a room, it's not exactly a pleasant experience.

This isn't the first time Shepard's opened her eyes in a mysterious place, nor the first time she's been thrust into some kind of insanity with absolutely no idea what's going on. Pointing a gun at Culumon was probably excessive, in hindsight, but she had no way to know that it was just a child when it jumped at her.

Which, of course, informed her of a very serious problem. Her gun is not working. Well, thank god, because she's not big on shooting small chatty alien children, but at the same time, not a good start to an unfamiliar place. At least the only native she's met so far seems friendly and compatible with her translator.

However, she had flatly refused to have any part of her scanned. She is in an unfamiliar place with absolutely no reason to agree to have her genetics scanned. The little white child is still chattering on, but she's mostly ignoring him to look around the room, fingers itching for the weight of her dysfunctional gun. It's more useful to have her hands free if it isn't working, but she misses it already.

She misses it even more when some kind of reptilian creature pushes into the room and charges her. She instinctively activates her biotic charge and... nothing. The lizard makes it all the way to her before half tripping over it's feet and offering a salute and one hell of a smile.

"Monodramon, at your service, Jane!"

. . .

"Who? Where the hell are we?"

Monodramon's eyes are sparkling with excitement, and Shepard is pretty sure that he's actually trembling.

"We're at the terminal! You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you, Jane!"

Shepard raises an eyebrow.

"Okay, first off, I don't know you, call me Commander Shepard. Second off, what terminal?"

Monodramon tilts his head to the side.

"You haven't read the welcome message, Ja-- Commander?"

Shepard sighs. Looks like she's going to have to actually let the computer scan her.

[Marona is paying keen attention to the ongoings of the things around her. When someone stumbles and falls out of the chute, instantly she's worried. She had arrived in the same manner, but without the pain.

She rushes over to the girl, kneeling beside her body.]

Hey! Hey, are you okay? What happened?

Shepard is in the process of fiddling with her new electronics to try to figure out if she can call the Normandy on them when a familiar whoosh announces the opening of a door. She looks up from the screen just as a girl in black is deposited on the floor.

Monodramon yelps in surprise next to her, having been completely absorbed in staring at Shepard in a way that she found, frankly, a little bit creepy. Shepard responds quickly, abandoning the gadgets on the table to sprint across the room. She drops to her knees and checks to see if the girl is awake, if she's breathing.

"Hey! Can you hear me?"

God, this girl can't be more than 15, she shouldn't be here.

[It's odd -- It's like parts of her body are... flickering. As if the data hasn't finished stitching her back together.]

ah... wh...?

[At least she's making noise now.]

*If she can register anything through the pain, she'll feel a light hand on her shoulder. Soon after, she'll hear a soft but firm voice.*

Can you hear me?

It was likely Beastboy would catch Kyouko while she was still seated on the bench, D-Terminal in her lap, though at the sound of his voice she glanced up. For a few moments, she was silent as she tilted her head slightly and took in this new boy's appearance. It was, perhaps, a good thing Labramon spoke up first. Kyouko might have stared all day otherwise.

"Hi Beastboy!" The dog greeted cheerfully, her tail wagging happily behind her. "I'm Labramon! And this is my partner K--"

The Digimon was swiftly cut off by her partner yanking on her tail.

The person who lands next to her does cry though. A backpack, half-open, spills out a hockey skate, a stuffed owl, and a phone. Though his head swims, the owner of it reaches for the owl.

His arms hurt. His head hurts. Everything hurts. Is this what it's like? Being dead? He thought the pain would go away. He thought it'd be done. Campbell cracks open an eye. He'd felt more than heard Hoot fall; he'd landed on his hand. So Cam reaches -- though his arms hurt the most -- and holds the little stuffed owl.

Like lightning, he thinks. Like being struck by lightning. Maybe. He cracks open an eye, to get a look at non-existence, and--

His hand is-- Something's swarming around it. More than just his hand, his whole body. He yells again, even louder, and scrambles back, into-- someone on the floor.

[Her voice is laced with concern as she speaks. She's... never seen a body do that before. Dead or alive! But... this person needs help, and she's willing to give it.]

I'm Marona. Do you know what happened? Why you fell?

She's breathing, but it's hard to tell if she's awake. There's something strange going on, too -- There are parts of her that are... flickering. It looks like lines of code, glowing with light. She isn't being patched up, since she doesn't appear to be injured...

"Nn..." The girl trembles a little, and then her eyes flutter open.

That's about all that can be seen, though, thanks to the hood pulled over her head.

[Walter is still disoriented from coming back from the dead - and into this, whatever this is, exactly - to the point that he's still moving rather slowly, looking around and taking in this strange, colorful and bustling city of fantastical animals - creatures anyway. It's not until spying another Veemon on the road causes him to turn around for a second to look back at the one that's latched onto him that he notices the dog on their tail.]

You, er - lose something? Or someone?

She's just being friendly! ...I think. [The Veemon smiles sheepishly at no one.]

[Xion hears the voice, but the words don't immediately register. Now that the pain is fading, she's finding it's easier to think, to be aware. Still numb from shock, she doesn't notice the data flickering over her arms. She lies there on the floor for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts.]

To say Hiccup was overwhelmed right now was a bit of an understatement. Stuck inside during one of the biggest blizzards Berk had ever had, and suddenly he's sucked into a different world. ...Or rather, the same world, just a place that was far, far from Berk. Though everything seemed relatively the same at first.

That was until he saw the Digimon.

Though to be honest, at first, the few Digimon- dragonlike ones to be specific- he spotted led him to believe that Berk apparently wasn't the only place with dragons. Yet...it didn't take him long to realize that that wasn't the case at all. This place was a lot different.

The second he stepped into the terminal, Hiccup nearly tripped over his partner: Gomamon. The little aquatic Digimon had lifted his head at the time with a grimace, ready to give him a piece of his mind until recognizing who this human was. "Hey hey! You're my partner, aren'cha? My name's Gomamon!" The boy pulled his foot back and knelt down in front of Gomamon, blinking. "I'm...your partner?" "It's a long story, but don't you worry, I'll try to help explain everything! I-"

At that point Gomamon trailed off, tilting his head a little as his expression both became confused, and softened. "...Hey, what's up with your leg?" Hiccup stiffened a bit, blinking himself a few times. It had been a long time since anyone asked him that, but for now it didn't matter. He was in an unfamiliar place, with unfamiliar people and strange creatures. ...And one of them claimed to be his partner.

So, with a weak smile Hiccup leaned over and lifted Gomamon in his arms, finding the closest bench to sit down on as he answered, "Don't worry...Gomamon. I'll try to....explain everything."

[It's like being in Gran Pulse all over again. Doesn't matter if Gran Pulse was a wilderness and this Tokyo place is more like a slightly less technologically-advanced Cocoon-- Hope's starting from scratch in this place. And the bad part is that he doesn't have any of his magic or any of his teammates with him.

Just this... Digimon who calls herself Renamon. Who kind of reminds him of Lightning in terms of personality.]

So, uh... [awkwardddddddd.] What do we do now?

Whatever you want.

You're the one who knows this world though. What do we do?

[They're... probably going to be at this for a while. Interrupt?]

[Labramon sits back on her haunches once Walter and Veemon address her, and her tail begins thumping against the ground happily]

I'm just being friendly, I promise! I'm Labramon, and. . . um. . .

[She glances over at where her partner was sitting-- by now, Kyouko had once again looked up from her D-Terminal and was watching Walter curiously]

I don't think my partner is very social. But I'd like for her to meet people!

Someone's... shouting. Roxas? Roxas had last been talking to her. Is he in trouble again? The pain has ebbed away, but it's still hard to move. It feels like her body is having delayed responses to her thoughts (lagging). She's too focused on trying to lift herself up to notice the light flickering across her body as she struggles.

"R..." She tries to unstick her throat. "Ro -- Roxas."

She has to make sure he's okay.

Shepard's mind flashes briefly back to an encounter involving a very immoral scientist and a whole lot of geth, but she shakes it off immediately. Something is going on with this girl, but it might just be electrical charge from the tube or one of the electronics in the room. Shepard can figure out why she's flickering later.

She carefully slips her hands under the girl's arms and gently pulls her up into a sitting position, ducking her head down to make eye contact. Her voice is softer now.

"Can you talk? I've got you."

*He frowns and holds a hand out over her, trying to focus a little of his energy into a healing Ether...only to get nothing.*

What in the...why are my Ethers locked?

*Well, no time to contemplate that right now. He presses two fingers to the side of her neck, trying to feel a pulse.*

[Someone's... talking?]

Who...

[Ugh. Why is it so bright? Her head swims as she tries to sit up.]

Someone else isn't quite taking to her partner as well. Terra (not Terra, Amy) frowns at the little rock...thing. She'd just opened the door to get a peek out and he barged right in, bouncing on his heels (er, feet? does he even have heels?).

This was, of course, after dodging the little ball of fun -- Culumon, was it? -- and reading over the instructions left. Okay, great. Hero again. Not if she has anything to say about it...

But the little guy, Gotsumon, so he said, looks like he might not help that process. "You and me, we're gonna be great fighters! Superheroes! Fight the bad guys, save the world! Ra, ra!" He pumps one fist into the air after the other.

"Look," Terra says, "I'm...flattered, but I'm really not the "hero' person. Maybe you should find another--"

A gasp! "I can't find another! You're my partner! And I'm yours." His eyes are big and sparkly. Great. Terra hates letting down kids.

She glances around and spots an older guy. Kinda odd, wearing robes. But still, she'll take any help she can get.

"Excuse me," Terra says to him. "Look, this little guy-- can you help me with him?"
