[There's a lanky 15-year old boy on your terminals, everyone. Longlegged, somewhat pale, and looking distinctly far more amused than what any newb has any right to be. He's walking out of the arriving building through a few people, ignoring digimon and human alike. And he steps out, into the bright sunlight, before looking to his terminal while humming a cheerful tune.
Underneath the amusement, only the more perceptive of you would be able to see the fact his eyes look distinctly sharpened, distinctly annoyed, almost like a cat's as he eyes the device with a mixture of irritation and dismissal. But his voice is sweet, and the first thing to come from his lips is a gentle laugh. A Renamon dutifully follows him, the same one some of you might recognize. She's wearing a white feather that looks as if it's made of glass as an identifier. ]
Awww. The first time I've let myself be unguarded since all that fun we had last time, and I end up back here? I hate what you've all done with the place, by the way. It's distinctly passé.

no subject
[ he's teasing, of course. MOSTLY BECAUSE EEEE JOSHUA. JOOOOOOOSH. ]
no subject
[There's a face he won't forget. And! A smile. Of course, a smile.]
I've had my own things to take care of. I'm sure whatever happened here while I was gone was just thrilling.
[Probably not, but!]
no subject
[ because that's just how things work. people come. people go. and Sora understands that. doesn't make it hurt any less for a while. ]
But we still lost the other place. It's just gone.
no subject
[Yes, he remembers. Even now.]
At least it being gone means it really was a red herring after all. Or we were right, and the only way to work any of this out is floating around somewhere in digital space. Who knows?
[His tone is understatedly jovial. It doesn't take a genius to work out he really couldn't care all that much either way. But! His tone changes.]
And as I can see, you're fine. Was anyone injured, or did they go with?
no subject
[ he's going to explain. really he is. even opens a mouth. but AHAHA HAHAA.
Sora's head is being pushed down. the fact that greets Joshua is entirely new. Vixie, this is becoming a really bad habit. ]
Oh! You're talking to Joshua. Hello Joshua!
[ from the floor, being ignored: ]
D-do you have to do that every time?
no subject
Don't tell me. You traded in that armored grouch that used to follow you around for her? Can't say I blame you.
[Renamon's going to doubletake, too.]
...Um...
Is... is Ryudamon not with you? Please tell me you didn't exchange him!!
no subject
[ Sora pushes himself into view, though Vixie is still there. ]
Yeah, funny story about that, actually -
[ and Sora's pushed down again. there's that snarky Ryudamon. he looks as amused as he always is - which is pretty not amused really. ]
It's good to see you again too, Joshua. Pleasant, as always. You're drastically mistaken, however. You see...
We're both his partners.
Guys!
no subject
Looks like they're both giving you the runaround. Lucky you.
Um... I'm sorry, Ryudamon. We didn't mean any offense. But... two? How could that be possible? I don't understand. Could you please explain?
no subject
[ pushing his way through, he sets the digivice back enough that they can all be seen. ]
Like I was saying. We, uh, kind of have two partners running around.
Some of us are clones of the original partner that was captured.
[ Vixie gives Ryu a bit of a smack with a hissed Ryu, stop that. ]
No, they have to hear this. A Digimon is a Digimon, no matter its origin. There is nothing to feel bad about.
no subject
[Renamon's just going to look as confused as a bipedal fox can. Ryudamon's always been so strong in her eyes. Him even lowering his guard for an instant is a big shock to her, too.]
no subject
[ but Ryu doesn't let Sora finish. he has no shame about any of this. just because HE is the clone doesn't make mean his efforts have been for nothing. he and Vixie are complete opposites, even if he is cloned from her. ]
Renamon. I am the clone. Vixie was always intended to be Sora's original partner.
[ Vixie lowers her ears for a moment. embarrassed. ]
But a lot of that doesn't matter. Ryu here took care of Sora when I couldn't. He's just as much our Chosen's partner.
[ Ryu snorts, rolling his eyes. ]
I never said I wasn't. I am what I am. We all work well together, so all in all it hardly matters who is the original partner and who is the clone.
...You guys are giving me a headache.
no subject
[Joshua's comment is totally unheard by Renamon, she's that surprised.]
Oh... Y-yes. That's right. No matter how we're created, we're all the same. I remember hearing that we're just recycled data from the human world anyway, so it's exactly the same thing...
And it's hardly as if being created in another way makes anyone any different. Human, or digimon. Wouldn't you agree, Sora?
...He... looks kind of unwell... Um! I'm sure we can talk later. Ryudamon, it's nice to see you again! And it's nice to meet you, um...
[Other!Renamon? It's not like she knows Vixie's name.]
You're leaving?
Well, yes. He said he was starting to get a headache, and...
[A small laugh.]
Ooh. Alone time. So. You were saying you know what we have to do?
no subject
[ he sticks his tongue out at them. Vixie returns the gesture... Ryu only manages to look smug. ]
But I'm kinda not getting what you're getting at there, Josh. 'Course it doesn't matter...
[ no, really... ]
Anyway, the ARCloner thingie is what's merging all the worlds. Jupitermon thought that it would be a good idea to do that, but now Titanmon has it and that's why the bad stuffs happening.
no subject
[Too late, she's gone! Joshua's suddenly wearing a very dark frown though, and his eyes look thoughtful. Well, there's the part of all of these digimon which is more human than anything, again...]
....Worlds shouldn't be merged.
no subject
no subject
...Worlds, people, hearts and mindsets. They're not supposed to be forced to go any particular way. They find their own. That's the way they are. Changing that, shiny device or not, causes a world of problems. They have to find their own way.
[ Sigh. Of course someone had to think they were better than what's natural by creating a device to shape everything to what they want. Digimon are just as human as humans.]
no subject
then it turns into a grin.
oh Joshua. you do have a heart. ...not that Sora had ever doubted this. ]
no subject
...Anyway.]
Your plan? If you're up for sharing.
no subject
But I don't think we have a way to find out where the one with the ARCloner is yet, so we just gotta sit around until we can find him.
aaaand locked.
[A smile. He's not giving any indication he's committed. Not quite. But, if Sora knows one of his selves that well.. ]
locked.
no subject
[So says the huffy Digimon on the other end. It's been a while since anyone's brought up what happened to the Terminal city. Then again, it's not like Josh would know.]
This big, mean Digimon named Titamon came and destroyed lots of it, and then this even meaner Digimon named Jupitermon made the place disappear! HospiTown was the only place we could go.
no subject
[Sarcasm, of course!]
...Destroyed and then wiped out, apparently. Wow.
no subject
We stopped Titamon from destroying it! Jupitermon and Minervamon were just too strong. It was more important for Guilmon to help people escape than to fight them. There were big chunks of buildings flying and everything!
no subject
Mhm. And those which are stronger than you didn't exactly do any better, with or without crests. Say - you're the Guilmon that worked with Renamon on that gigantic ToyAgumon last time, aren't you?
no subject
no subject
[If he were whatever force that pulled everyone here, he'd be pissed! But he's not, so he's just going to be amused.]
Boy, whatever it was that brought us here sure chose well.
no subject
Well...we didn't really.
Discretion is the better part of valor.
Who's side are you on? Anyway the point is we've still been bustin' our butts to try and make this work.
no subject
[Question ignore, go!]
Before you start coming out with excuses, I'm not all that interested.
no subject
Too bad you couldn't get back sooner, Neku was your friend wasn't he?
no subject
Anyway, I'm guessing the objective is get the ARCloner, then we all get to go home. Secondhand info, by the way.
no subject
But yeah that's about the size of it. Did you get a crest last time you were here? Or a second partner?
no subject
[He might actually sound pleased about that. After all, to one that's used to world-jumping, having less indication a world's got it's teeth into you is better. Far better. ]
Say, did your crests actually help with Jupitermon and Titamon? From what I've been hearing, it sounds like there wasn't any chance for any of you.
no subject
And yeah our crests helped! I know mine and Kovu's did because they like, froze him in place and evolved our Digimon to the next level so they could wail on him some! And I saw the same sort of flashes of Crest light and stuff around town!
