001 | video (forward dated to the 10th)

[ The video feed clicks on to reveal a tired-looking pink Digimon, perched on the railing from which the curtain that separated the beds in the Hospitown rooms, the (stolen, if you must know) D-Terminal clutched in its claws. Biyomon paused, carefully reviewing what he had to say before actually speaking. In a soft voice, clearly trying to keep the noise level down low: ]

Finally, thought he'd never go to bed...

Are Chosen normally this bad at, say sleeping regularly? Eating? Talking to other people?

[ He wasn't asking Forte to be a social butterfly, but talking to nobody else at all was downright concerning. He'd put up with his partner's oddities, yet he couldn't let this state of affairs go for forever. The Digimon's voice grows a little more heated. ] It's been days now and my partner hasn't talked to anybody! He broods, he floats around, and he glares at everything! And that's it. Really starting to think he's either incredibly against conversation or just plain... weird.

[ Which was not to say this was the only problem Forte presented on his mind, or there weren't other off things that were slowly beginning to concern Biyomon about his partner, because there were multitudes, like the coldness in his eyes. Like the way he would stand there and look at people like they were bugs he was considering squishing. Or like that act of minor theft he'd committed upon hours after his arrival that had resulted in both of them hightailing it from the general store and then Biyomon had to flitch some BIT from their starter account unnoticed and send it back to the understandably upset store owner to pay for that brown cloak Forte had taken.

He fluffs up his feathers.
 ]

I noticed other partners used the Terminals when it came to stuff about their humans [ or whatever Forte was, he sure hadn't reacted well that one time Biyomon had called him one (Biyomon had not repeated that error. he liked his feathers right where they were, thank you) ] like this.

So, some veteran advice, guys? Answers? Help?

01;

[Hi, travellers and Hospitown refugees! There's static, and then a transmission. And pink. Lots of pink. the camera focuses in, and out a little - and the blurry pink turns into a face. A worried looking face. It's a Biyomon!]

H-hello. This is my first transmission. My name is Biyomon. I finally found my destined, so it's nice to meet you all. I hope to work with you. Please be kind to me.

[And there's a small amount of murmuring behind her. A teenage boy has his back to the camera and appears to be lying down, sleeping heavily. There might be quite a bit of seeming nonsense coming out of his mouth, with heavy snoring.]

This... is my destined. If he were awake, I'm sure he would introduce himself, but he's not too good at the sleeping... at night thing. Um, anyway... it's about him that I have a question. I was wondering if any... experienced with humans Digimon listening might be kind enough to answer. It's... complicated.

[There's a small pause, and Biyomon looks downward for a short time, then back to the lens.]

He... doesn't want to work with me.

Since he's arrived, all he's been interested in are affairs that have been going on in his own world. It's not his fault. He's worried for his friends - We're connected. That's how I know. I've heard everything that's happened to him - felt them - like I was there - since I was a Digi-egg, and... I understand he's scared right now.


[Another pause.]

Anyway... He's got amnesia. He's had it for a long time, and it drives him almost mad. I can feel how frustrated he gets, even if he hides it. I told him recently that if he helps me, us, the Digital World -- then I'd fill in the gaps for him. He... got angry that I'd hold something like that to ransom.

Eventually he agreed, of course -- but... this isn't how I thought it'd be at all. I've known him all of my life, and... I wanted, more than anything, to be his friend. That's why I left my island to come here, that's why -- I feel horrible about what I said. And I'm worried. I've heard that if someone's sleepwalking, you don't wake them up. That it's the worst thing! What if it's the same with memory loss? What if telling him things makes something awful happen to him?

I also feel horrible about telling him if he travels with me, I'll fill in the gaps. I've known him all my life. I like him. I wanted, more than anything, to be his friend, but... friends don't have conditions. I'm scared he'll never see me as a friend now.

...This has been more longwinded than I would like. I'm sorry. But if anyone can help... I'd really appreciate it.

first mission ♦ video

[ There is a Keramon on the network who looks vaguely concerned. ]

Do humans come with a factory warranty? I think I broke mine because I squeezed him too hard! Should I return him for a new human? Or bring him somewhere for repairs? Because he's been poking his arm for a while now and mumbling about something not working.

[ Keramon moves the camera a little to show Nero who is clearly sitting at a table in Hospitown's cafe. He also is in fact prodding his arm. Of course hi arm is also blue and covered with this red ridges and scales. He also might look somewhat similar to a certain pair of half demon twins to those familiar with them. ]

See? SEE?

[ The wild flailing of his spindly comically long arm attracts Nero's attention and he looks up with a scowl. ]

Hey! Don't play with that. It's not a toy.

[ He reaches out with the demony looking hand as if he's about to grab it even though he's clearly too far to reach.  That seems to occur to him, and with a frown, he gets up to take it from him instead. ]

This squidbug's gonna be the death of me...

Video

I never imagined this would happen...

[Koushirou appears on the screens of all the D-Terminals, looking more than a little shocked, and...guilty? Even though there is really nothing to be guilty for. It is not his fault that the city disappeared, after all.]

Never did it cross my mind...I thought certain places would get destroyed, but never--The entire city...

[A small sigh passes his lips as he brings a hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose, his eyes clenching tightly shut.]

When I started preparing a new place, I didn't think it would be due to the whole city being obliterated as it was. I should have, though. I should have known something this terrible would happen after Titamon attacked. Taiki-san's warning should have been enough, but--

[He takes in a deep breath before lowering his hand to stare once more at the screen. Right. He needs to focus. He needs to tell them what he has been doing this past month or so.]

There is a place...HospiTown. It's on a separate continent, but I've been working with the Digimon there. We have managed to set up new residence there for you. It's not as cozy as what you are use to, but at least you all will not be asked to live out in the wilderness. The only trouble is that it is quite some ways away from Terminal Island. I will be talking with Hikari, the Trailmon that are still there, as well as the Whamon to see about transportation.

[Koushirou rubs his face, mumbling something incoherent under his breath before he once more focuses on the screen.]

Apologies now for the inconvenience, Chosen. Hopefully...hopefully this will not happen again.

[And if it does, he hopes that they are prepared.

With a brief shake of his head, he reaches out and shuts down the feed.
]

Fifth Scar [Video - private to Squall]

[Kovu's looking kind of nervous.]

Hey, Squall...

Uh...I need to ask you for a favor before I come get that coat.

Fourth Scar [Video]

[Kovu's looking maybe a tiny bit exasperated, or at least annoyed and slightly confused, as the feed comes on. His partners don't seem to be around, but if you're listening closely there are some thumps in the background that might be pillows smacking into things.]

...Okay, what is this "Christmas" thing everyone keeps talking about? And what's "snow"? I tried asking Beastboy but he won't tell me anything.

One Diamond - Re-Count! [Video]

[A Tentomon buzzes in the background up behind and down off the frame on a certain purple-haired, white-horned young woman - she's smiling, bats her eyes, speaks with a brightness and drawl, but it's a touch quick.]

Ah - Rarity, all, hello~o. I don't suppose anypony missed me...! [Strictly casual.] Tentomon and I are Chosen, and. ...Well! It appears I've been - away, for a while, or so Tentomon says! Dear do remind me, what month might it be?

December.

R~right... [Giggle - not upset, but not actually happy, either.] It wa~as June here, last I was aware! And it does figure, I am not - dressed for winter, but~! ...That's hardly a matter of importance... First of all! Twilight, Fluttershy, darlings - here I am! Do give me a call as soon as you can! I must know if you're all right and we have simply got to catch up, if you are! What say you to a~ girl's day? Not to rush things of course, but, I - expect one's in order.

And - also. My partner and I are apparently now staying in~n... F1, 009, I believe! I welcome you to give us a call, too; we cannot wait to get to know you.

Now... ta-ta, for now~! [Last flash of a smile and a bobbed nod at the camera before she ends the recording.]

[Video]

[The screen flickers before i reveals a pair of purple eyes right in the screen. They pull back to reveal a purple-haired girl with wings and a horn, who keeps looking at the screen from different angles. She appears to be thinking before a voice off-screen speaks up.]

Twilight... I think that you've turned it on.

Oh... [Rubs her head sheepishly] Well then... hello everypo... I-I mean everyone. My name is Twilight Sparkle, I'm a friend of Fluttershy's. She said that I had been here before, but I'm afraid that I have no memory of my time here. But if I knew anyone from that time, please tell me, I would like to be able to get re-acquainted with you.

Also, umm... if anyone has seen a gold crown with a pink gem that looks like a six-pointed star in the center, could you please tell me? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

[She pushes a button... and nothing happened. She look confused and pressed a few more. Eventually she found the right button as the screen blanked out.]

1st Sonic Rainboom | Video

ATTENTION DIGITAL WORLD! The newest Chosen has arrived from her humble home to help save the day and protect the planet and it's residents from any wrongdoers who would threaten it's peace and prosperity! And her name is...RAINBOW DASH!

...How was that?


Eh, could've done better on the last part, but not too bad.

(The D-Terminal focuses on a blue-skinned girl who has rainbow-like hair, a blue top to match and what looks like a lightning bolt on her shirt! Not to mention...she's got wings, and she's hovering above the ground. The flying could be a way for her to ignore the whole 'suddenly human' appearance since it is confusing for her nonetheless.

The fingers, too.)


'Sup, everypony? You heard my partner; the name's Rainbow Dash, and I'm one of the newest girls from Equestria brought here to help out! My partner's name is Falcomon, but I'm sure I can come up with a WAY cooler name than that!

(...For those of you who are watching, you're not imagining it; Rainbow is flying backward on the screen for a few moments before righting herself.)

What about Speedy? You've got wings like me, and I'm pretty sure you can keep up with my awesomeness!

Hmm...that seems okay, but what about that other one you mentioned before-?

Huh? Oh, Tank! (A beat, then she shakes her head.) Nah, that name's already taken; Tank's my pet turtle from back home!

Oh, yeah: anypony live in...F2 001? That's where we'll be staying while we're here, so hope you don't mind having an awesome Pegasus for a roommate!

...Turtle?

(The feed cuts on the newly named Speedy's confused face.)

Third Scar [Video]

[The screen flips on not to Kovu, but to Lopmon and Strabimon, who both seem to be fighting over the D-terminal.]

It's on already you idiot now let me hold it!

[Lopmon suddenly lets go and Strabimon yanks it toward himself. He growls, then points the camera at Lopmon.]

Kovu's being a wuss again, but he wants to say thanks to all the guys who fought with him when Titamon showed up.

[Lopmon ducks to dodge a pillow tossed at him from one side of the room, while Strabimon's snickering is easy to hear since he's holding the D-terminal.]

He got the Crest of Hope, and I even got to digivolve to Ultimate! I turn into a super cool werewolf!

[Strabimon turns the camera toward himself now.]

Enough about the rabbit. I'm Strabimon, the partner Kovu was supposed to have when he got here. Dunno why, but Kovu said I should tell everyone who I am.

[He shrugs, and there's a bit of fumbling for the camera and a shout from Lopmon before the feed turns off.]

[video] Second Hunt

[The video switches on to show Nala in her shared apartment with her Kudomon on one side and her new partner, a lopmon, on the other.]

Hello, I know that I have not yet gotten to know many of you all that well, but I wanted to check and make sure everyone is recovering well from that fight. It's been a little bit so hopefully things are sorting out, but if you are in need of help, I am willing to assist people where I can.

I also wanted to introduce my new partner, who I have named Sungura.

Hi there everybody! It's nice to get to meet everyone.

And to let everyone know that I have chosen to change my first partner's name. He will no longer be Hala, but instead will be known as Malaika, which I find more fitting considering the...

digivolution. Nala felt that my digivolution to Piddomon was a chance for her to see something more of me, to name me by. I hope you will all do your best to remember the name change, though I won't take offense to being called Hala by mistake.

Yes, thank you. That is all I have to share at this time, but please do let me know, even if I don't know you personally yet, if there is anything I can do to assist you.

Second Scar [Video]

[Kovu kind of feels sorry for his roommate right about now. Kovu's been growling and snarling the whole day, and by now the former lion is getting really frustrated. He can talk just fine, but he knows he's not saying anything anyone else is going to understand. Lion speech isn't exactly intelligible to someone who only knows human languages. What's worse, Kovu can't understand anything that anyone else is trying to say to him.

Lopmon's been trying to keep him calm the whole time, but it's not going so well. When the feed clicks on, Kovu looks like he's about to throw the D-terminal out the window. Lopmon cringes as Kovu just flat out roars - pretty much in his ear, no less - and then turns to the camera.]

Please tell me there's someone out there who can understand lion. I think Kovu's gonna go crazy if I'm the only one he can talk to.

[What follows will sound to almost everyone like any other big cat noises, but anyone who actually has some feline heritage will be able to understand what Kovu's saying.]

"Crazy" isn't even close.

First Scar [Video]

[The feed clicks on to show the D-terminal in a dim room, and from a pretty funny angle. Lopmon's not on camera, but he's trying to shove it into Kovu's hands, and Kovu's shoving it right back, trying to keep himself off the camera too.]

C'mon Kovu, there are people worried about you! Say something!

Why would they be worried when they're all mad at me?!

How do you even know they're mad at you? You wouldn't let any of them talk! They'd only be mad at you 'cause you haven't talked to any of them for so long!

[Kovu suddenly rushes forward, his jaw and goatee now framed in the upper portion of the screen. His snarl can only be partly seen, but it's perfectly visible.]

All right, smart guy, how do you know?!

[Lopmon stumbles back, and the D-terminal falls to the floor.]

You turned it on?!

1st Prophecy; Video;

[These memories aren't broadcast far and wide. Maybe that's a blessing. Rather, they appear on the D-Terminals of Jinx, Kovu, Wheeljack, Ultra Magnus, Sora, Yu, Mami, and Waver.

The light of fire... )

Betrayal [You can either click the links or read the text, the videos would be better though~]


[It's later in the evening when the TVs and D-Terminals pop on with a fresh new memory, and oh look it's Beastboy and Terra! They look to be on some sort of date making funny faces in a photo booth, riding carnival rides and playing games. It's super cute and they are hugging and being adorable together.

******

Beastboy happens to be in the arcade when this happens so all the video game systems come on too,  he looks worried and is fiddling with the strings on his apron. Rita is sitting nearby and looks confused but the video plays on.

Things are getting intimate now, Terra seems worried. She's about to confess something and they are leaning in for a kiss...

Anyone within the arcade or even near the entrance can hear Beastboy freaking out]

No no no no no! Not cool glitch not cool!!!!!

[He's scrambling around trying to unplug the video game machines as if that would help but the video plays on.

******

A mysterious man with a sexy voice has appeared. He's in full body armor and wearing a mask with only one eye. He wastes no time in grabbing Beastboy by the shirt and hurling him through the door out of the Farris Wheel cart.

"I have plans for you Terra. Did you think you and your little boyfriend could just run away?"

"Let her GO!" 

Beastboy has climbed back into the cart and the fight is on! Beastboy and the masked man fight their way up one side of the Farris Wheel and down the other, outside of the carts, on the struts, ontop of the wheel itself. Beastboy is fighting more fiercely then anyone who knows him would imagine, even choosing to attack the man again instead of running when Terra offers him the chance for escape. He's not pulling any punches as he tries to end the masked man but the villain has superior training and strength beyond a human. He has Beastboy pinned and is about to deliver what would be a decisive blow! Beastboy calls out in desperation for Terra who as the memory shows, is hovering around in the air standing on flying rocks.

With a scream and glowing golden hands she opens a fissure in the ground that swallows up the Farris Wheel and the masked man. Beastboy flies away and the two escape.

But it's not over yet...

***************

By this point in the video, Beastboy has left the Arcade telling Rita to cover for him and is desperately trying to call Terra, but the system is down while this memory is playing. With no way of knowing where she'll be he stands in front of a wall of TVs on display in the electronics store window catching every horrible detail of his own .

***************

The duo have run into a fun house to hide but they get separated along the way. The truth is revealed that Terra has been working for this villain the whole time! Beastboy refuses to believe at first having a wonderful freak out smashing his way through the hall of mirrors leaving nothing but glass and broken frames in his wake. He refuses to believe that Terra would betray his friends...his family! The villain informs him that before they left for their date Terra deactivated the security at Titans Tower and his friends were being annihilated. Beastboy doesn't want to believe but...Terra tells him it's true.

 You can practically hear his heart breaking in that moment. His face wide with disbelief, confusion, fear that his entire world just came crashing down. All he can do is ask "Why?"

The villain answers for them. "Because you could never give her what she needs."

Beastboy is pushed over the edge in rage once more transforming into a tiger and hurling himself at Slade. The two clash and it looks like Beastboy is winning this time until Slade catches him off guard with a heat blaster that puts him on the ground again.  For a moment Terra stands firm, tells Slade "No! I won't let you hurt my friends!" But Slade simply admonishes her,

"Dear child, you don't have any friends."

Beastboy's up again as a grizzly bear and attacks Slade with twice the fury. Claws flash across the villains mask leaving deep gouges, and Terra flees into the dark. Slade only barely manages to escape by blasting Beastboy point blank again and slipping into the shadows.

Shifting back to human Beastboy stalks through the funhouse seeing twisted reflections of himself and Terra, hearing her sob and apologize again and again.  It's almost grotesque as the funhouse music plays in the backround. She falls to her knees and he finds her shaking.

"Beastboy, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I never meant for any of this to happen!"

Beastboy's voice is cold and cruel, more so then any have heard in this world. "Then why did you let it?"

She looks shocked, hurt. It's like he just slapped her. "I don't know OK? Slade helped me. Saved me from myself. He said I owed him."

"So it was all game? You were just pretending?" The pain in his voice is masked only by his anger at this betrayal, blinded by his own hurt to see how scared and upset she is.

"No..." She approaches him desperately, "You said you'd be my friend no matter what remember?" She holds out a hand for him...but he sneers and turns his back on her.

"Slade was right, you don't have any friends."

****************************
 

With that crushing line he walks into the shadows and the memory cuts. Anyone passing by on the street will see Beastboy, stunned, pale, tears running down his cheeks as he was forced to bare witness to a memory he wishes he could bury down deep and never return to.

Wiping his face on his sleeve he opens up a message looking for Terra and types three words.

"Where are you?"
 

[Video] [Memory Leak]

[On everyone's D-Terminal or even anyone that had something with a screen on it, a video will appear. And on it may be strange to some, but maybe isn't all too terribly abnormal for others. There are two turtles on the screen, one with a red mask and a lightning-bolt scar on his plastron, wielding a pair of sai and looking to be in a good mood. The other was tall, lanky, and had a purple mask that may be familiar to anyone who knew a certain human boy with a certain colored mask on. He had a bo staff, and was looking pretty determined. The taller one's attention turned to something else briefly, which made him seem flustered, but he regained his composure.

Then they clashed and during it,t he taller turtle hit the shorter one in the knees and knocked him down. He seemed ti be happily surprised, turning to someone and asking if they saw that. But the other turtle gets up and grabs him with his sai, catching him. People will see the red-banded turtle proceed to use the taller one as a kind of puppet. The feed then cuts as someone off-screen tells the turtles to stop and the taller one gets tossed aside.]

Sixth Verse: (Accidental) Video/Action

[Believe it or not, Marley is actually out and about, walking around Terminal Tokyo with a barely noticeable limp. But she's not the one in charge of the D-Terminal. Hawkmon has it, and is recording Marley while on their walk (though really, it seems like he doesn't realize he's recording, considering the view keeps shifting dizzily from one thing to another).]

--can handle this?

I'm all right, Hawkmon. I can't stay in our room forever.

Well, if you think you need to rest, don't be afraid to sit down!

I'm fine. Honest. And I'm feeling better being outside. Just...

[There's a moment's pause before Hawkmon speaks up again.]

Just....what?

Worried. That's all.

Oooooooh....

[There's the sound of something brushing against the mic, the screen going black before Marley comes into view. She's staring down at the screen, wide-eyed.]

Um...Hawkmon. You realize you were recording, right?

...I was?

[Marley nods and offers a small apologetic smile to the network.]

Sorry about that everyone. We'll try to be more careful next time. And--[Deep breath.]--Everyone who's out fighting, please be safe...

[And with that, she turns off the feed.]



[[OOC: Anyone still in the city feel free to run into Marley while she and Hawkmon are walking around!]]

006 - Sixth Flight [Action]

[Hiccup can be seen making his way down the front steps of his apartment building, very carefully, as he carries a small cardboard box in his arms. This small box seems to contain all of he and Fearless' belongings, not including the wagon Hiccup made which is outside, sitting on the sidewalk. He carries the box over and places it in the wagon, giving it one last quick look-through before setting off for the districts set aside for those with crests.

There's a small, burlap bag containing the bits he's earned, Fearless' collar, the two hats that Marley and Hawkmon got them, and the notebook that serves as the "Digimon Manual" he'd been working on. Other than that, that seems to be literally all of Hiccup's possessions besides the clothes on his back and the crest he's wearing around his neck. Well....save for one curious item that he pulls out of the box to examine, before setting it on top so Fearless can see.]




....Now where'd'ya get that cute little guy from, eh?

[Hiccup smiles a little as he grabs the thick rope he tied to the wagon, walking over to Fearless so he can climb onto his back and tie it to his horn, since he's evolved into Ikkakumon for the move. The 'cute little guy' Fearless is talking about appears to be a Gomamon plushie that now sits on top of the rest of the items, peering just over the edge of the box.

The viking shrugs a bit and casts one last glance back at the apartment before patting the side of Fearless' neck, signalling that he can start moving.]


Well uh....remember that festival that was going on a while back? I know you met Jack Frost when I did, and he won that at one of the stands and gave it to me.

Huh...didn't that kid disappear not long ago though? ..Why'd ya keep it?

[The boy lets out a sigh, leaning against the Ikkakumon's horn.]

...well....that's why I kept it. ..Cause he's gone. Dunno when your friends are just going to disappear anymore so....it's nice to have something to remember them by.

[Realizing a little too late that saying that wasn't tactful whatsoever, Fearless just nods and continues making his way down the sidewalk. If anything will get someone's attention, it'll be a giant walrus-like Digimon making it's way slowly down the street.]
