Mission 1: Arrival (Video)

*There's a pair of icy blue eyes on the screen, with a subtle warmth behind them that's at odds with the cold color. They belong to a young but scruffy looking face topped by white hair and bearing an expression somewhere between irritated and unimpressed. From the background, he still seems to be outside.*

Okay, first off, I've got a couple of questions, so why don't we humor the new guy for a while. Let's start off with the big stuff: where can a guy get a slice of pizza, a decent sundae and some booze around here? I just spent all day running around and it feels like I could eat a Gigapede if that wasn't the most disgusting idea I've ever heard.

Which actually brings me to the second question. I spent all day running around without food and was perfectly fine until I came here, aside from some serious cravings for cheese and tomato sauce. You see, I ain't exactly what you would call entirely normal, that's why I'm so good at what I do. So who's shit idea was it to bring me here, ask me to save the world and then add on 'by the way, you can't use any of the awesome and badass powers that usually help you get the job done'?

Actually, you know what, make that three questions. On the topic of saving the world, who's ass to I have to kick this time? Interdimensional gates don't normally screw with themselves when they're supposed to be closed, so I'm pretty sure someone's gotta be on a power trip. Though points for scale. Don't think I've ever heard of someone involving more than just the human world and the demon world in their evil schemes. ...Then again, until now, I didn't know there was anything other than the human world and the demon world. Guess they're right, you do learn something new every day.

[Boy does he feel you on the "why is everything suddenly weird", thing, Dante.]

Yeah. Refuelin' constantly is kinda a thing here. Best get used to it, buddy.

[heartdive]

Oh man... Now I really want a pizza.

[He doesn't have any idea half of what this man is speaking of, but...]

From what I have gathered, our enemy is one which has been corrupting others of these creatures, called digimon. They are doing it with something called a "scope virus" [Whatever that means...] While it is unknown who indeed brought us here, popular consensus appears that helping this world and completing this task will guide us to where we came from.

[Something about you reminds her of more than one marine she knows back home. It's pleasant familiarity.]

Looking for the bar straight away. Can't say I disapprove.

[She's also starting to be amused by the people who very clearly aren't thrown off balance by digimon partners and sudden teleportation.]

And welcome to the 'where the hell are my damn powers' club.

[ long pause of silence. ]

You asked too many questions.

[ Hi Dante, have a ten year old girl. She seems to be deep in thought, before letting out a sigh. ]

You know, that's a good question. I have no idea where the nearest pizza place is. But I know there needs to be one somewhere. I mean, before the Digital World and Human World merged here this place was Tokyo. And pizza places don't just go poof.

[And on the other end of the feed we have a Digimon... who is without his Tamer. Still, he sees nothing weird about talking to people! Lots of his friends are human, after all.]

Um... Well, I don't know about pizza, but there's this really good bakery in the marketplace. They've got all kinds of stuff. Rolls, pastries, even this treat called monkey bread.

[...]

Is pizza good, though? Guilmon's never had it before.

Probably right about the power trip. In my experience anything bigger than some gang war usually has someone with some big delusions of grandeur and way more power than anyone that crazy should ever have.

[This would be so much easier if he could just use his guns ...]

As for the rest of it, plenty of places to find something decent to eat around here. Free food in the apartment building's a good place to start. And, there's a bar called the Digital Dive, their drinks aren't exactly top shelf, but they'll do the job.
