There we go! It's on!

Yeah? [ There's an intake of breath. ] If you say so.

All right, hands up if you're a "Chosen Child" who is actually over 18 years old and not actually a child. Metaphorical hands. Please don't actually raise them, you won't do anyone a lick of good here. So far as I can tell, this place is far too insane to be run by children and would be some kind of prank if Kera wasn't some kind of... talking... squid... thing. Still not sure what the hell, by the way.

Also: need suggestions and directions to good places for dinner. If I'm going to be stuck here, I am not going to live off bits and bytes and takeout, all right? Not happening.

[not having accents was probably our tradeoff for everyone being otherwise perfect, really]

[Waver frowned in disapproval, but didn't complain any further. He'd met less agreeable Digimon, after all. And the guy he was partnered with didn't sound all that bad.]

I really don't know why 'children' is the default term for it--probably the usual age range for people with these partners until all of us started showing up. Now that you mention, it really isn't all that fitting in the given situation.

[personal profile] velveteenmage 2013-12-06 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say it's that pressing. At least not usually. The catastrophe of the moment tends to vary in severity from 'giant monster attack' to 'glitch making it literally rain cats and dogs.'

There's not one right this second, that's how.

[this kid has seen some shit, friend]

If it were the actual end of the world, I'd think day-to-day circumstances a little more dire than this.

At the moment...basically. I think at least one person spends a lot of time trying to work out whatever code this place is built on. A few more of us were taking steps to organize some kind of group to respond a little less haphazardly to dire situations, but so far we can only do so much without knowing when something or someone will just turn the place into a mess.

I assure you I'm aware of how futile it sounds.

No one, I just said it. I'm frustrated by the state of things and how much we can only react to, rather than prevent. If any of us had been better at information gathering or anything of the sort, maybe the city wouldn't look like someone dropped a bomb on it.

It's irritating to know we're supposedly here to save this world and yet we're this limited in our efforts to help it.

The 'giant monster attack' bit wasn't metaphorical. We used to have a nice marketplace, park, and Tokyo Tower in one piece.

I would assume A) most are still recovering from one thing or another, B) the more organized of us are attempting to formulate efficient plans and praying people cooperate, or C) both of the above.

I'm placing my money on C. Or I would if I had much of any.

That would be about where I am, too. I'm just a student, so organization and research is about all I have as far as skills go.
velveteenmage: (they see you as just a child)

[personal profile] velveteenmage 2013-12-06 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
What, like who's in charge?

[Pausing, Waver seemed to be seriously considering this for a minute.]

I don't...think anyone is, now that you mention it. Not in a concrete sense--there's usually a handful of the reliable type you'd expect to step up in an immediate crisis, but nothing I could call definite.
velveteenmage: (welcome to a world of bloody evolution)

[personal profile] velveteenmage 2013-12-06 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well, when you poke holes in it like that, it sounds much worse than it probably is. Having said that, now I'm really not too certain myself.

Sorry--I got so sidetracked I forgot to ask your name.
velveteenmage: (prepare for your greatest moments)

[personal profile] velveteenmage 2013-12-06 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It kind of works out, somehow. I hadn't thought too much about it until now.

I'm Waver Velvet. [Said with so much of a straight face he has to be telling the truth.] My partners are Palmon and Biyomon--god knows where they've gone off to. It's nice to meet you both.

[Remarkably, his managed to not be the strangest name around. God only knew what Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri's parents were thinking when that birth certificate came around.]

Plural, a lot of us have two at the moment. It's...complicated. Simply put, there was this whole huge incident recently where we learned the ones we started out with--in my case, Palmon--are replicas in some fashion. The second ones we met are the ones we were apparently intended to have when we arrived.

What that means for people like you that just showed up with one, I'm afraid I'm not certain. It's proven to be a mess about two steps short of 'widespread existential crisis'.

[the world of fate doesn't really get english names. see also: luviagelita edelfelt.]

Honestly? I...don't know. The whole situation's nothing I could have even tried to predict, I'm pretty sure most if not all of us were blindsided entirely.

So it's hard to say just what the facts of the whole thing are or even why someone went to the trouble of trying to replicate our intended partners.
