We come here seeking an audience with the Chosen Children for the good of the Digital World, yet we find them playing in the streets!

Unacceptable. [Sakuyamon, Miko Mode, brandishes her haraegushi. Yep, she's pissed.]

Heed me, Chosen Children, for I will not repeat myself. With me are Petermon and Tinkermon, and they shall be given orders to stop this game at once.

They will enter one of your races, and should they win, these distractions will cease and you will focus your attentions on the villages who have been attacked, and protecting those that soon will be. Should you instead win [a bit of a condescending pause] then you may have your toys back.

Uphold your end of the bargain, Chosen Children, because we will ours. [A wave of her empty hand this time. Let the games begin.]


Connection terminated |



[[ooc: MINI-EVENT IS A GO! Petermon and Tinkermon will be entering the Chain Chomp Wheel race-- a battle course, appropriately enough-- so start your engines and get to racing! The race doesn't need to get to completion-- you just have to knock out their balloons. Should the two NPCs have three or less between them, then you win and you can race in Rainbow Road! Good luck!

In addition, if you haven't gotten your Digimon to get to Champion level yet, then feel free to do so now, because you'll need all the help you can get to win.]]

Greetings, everyone! It is I, the Prince of All Cosmos, and I have another question for you.

[Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. The Prince leans back. Given the background of the video, he's lounging around in front of the meeting hall.]

You will have to excuse my ignorance, for though I have made attempts to study humans, the longer I stay here, the more I realize that I actually know very little.

But, I am sure you have noticed that there has been much talk of "birthdays" recently. Would anyone happen to be willing to explain to me what exactly a "birthday" is, and why it is so important?

You know, for someone who just got here, you're taking things very well. [The D-terminal was being held up by an Elecmon to show Saori in the general area of the Main Terminal, just walking around to get her bearings.]

Hmm? You really think so, Elecmon?

Yeah, because normally when people first arrived here, they freak out whenever we start talking.

Well, there's no point in panicking in this sort of situation. Cooler heads will prevail after all. It does help I'm used to dealing with non-human beings talking be--wait, are you recording that right now?

Uh, yeah, wh--hey! [Saori swipes the D-Terminal from her partner and brings it up to face-level and smiles.]

Sorry about that. My name's Saori Nakagawa and I just arrived here. It's nice to meet you all. Oh, right, I don't suppose anyone can tell me where F2 009 is? I was assigned there for my housing arrangement. And thank you for your help in advance!

{ ATTENTION ALL YOU FASHION AND TREND GURUS.

Rise wants your help to aid this person's cry for help. But she knew that this was not an assignment that she could do alone. And besides, it would be a lot more fun with more people.

She planned to corner surprise Hibiki by forming a makeover team. It would be an opportunity to meet people like her who finds joy in these things and it would be a fun project at the same time. Those who wanted to exercise their love for fashion, trends and make up.

SO --- Have an energetic Rise interrupting your feed with an announcement to make, but keep it a secret, okay?

The first thing she does was hold up a screenshot that she secretly took during her first conversation with Hibiki. }

Psssttt~ I'm on a mission to help a friend and I am going to need more help.

This guy --- { Shows picture again. } --- he's cute, right? --- but that's not the point!

Cute or not ... well, he needs some fashion help and quick.

What do you, think?

Besides ... { Smiles. } ... don't you think it will be a lot of fun? { Winks ---- And after all. You have a willing guinea pig. }

[The video starts some distance away from a scene.

Joshua is sat crosslegged on the floor within Team Fabulous HQ, apparently enjoying some peace and quiet thanks to the fact Hibiki and Elec Man are nowhere to be seen. Floramon sits opposite from him, and the pair appear to be enjoying taking tea together. And yes. Floramon appears to be sitting in the same crosslegged fashion only within a flower pot that Joshua's managed to procure. What's better to a plant-type digimon than feeling the soil underneath your feet, after all?

The pair appear to be chatting, and it's not long before Floramon says something about him keeping his strength up and eating more often - leaning forward to... well, alarmingly, pour tea out of what could be taken as her nose. Joshua holds his cup forward, and takes a sip without even a touch of recoil, as if it's the most normal thing in the world.

There's a bristle of yellow fur just about viewable from the side of the screen, and a very dejected, small voice. The camera turns around, displaying a very saddened-looking foxblob. Viximon, apparently.]

...I think he's going off me...

I haven't digivolved yet. I thought I would by now. Rookies are so cool, and they can fight... I can't fight anything. All I can do is poison things. That's not fighting.

I don't know how I can get him to like me again.

[The video turns on to show a young man with wild violently green hair and... a traffic cone on his head. Judging by the background, he's in the marketplace by the Crest of Light housing.

He smiles brightly at his D-Terminal, and his first words burst from his mouth gleefully:] My, the Digital World sure is full of things!

[But then, he clears his throat, looking embarrassed.] Ah, my apologies. I should not be letting my excitement get the better of me. Please, let me start over.

Hello, I am the Prince of All Cosmos. It is a pleasure to meet you all. I arrived here in the Digital World seven days ago. I apologize for not introducing myself earlier. I am afraid I got rather carried away in seeing all that there is to see here. It is quite exciting!

Ah, ah. My friend Armadillomon told me that I should not spend my money so frivolously, but I am afraid that I did not listen. This was never a problem before...! But, I find myself lacking bit, and my friend is very hungry.

[......... the Prince's stomach makes a protesting gurgling sound. The Prince, instead of looking embarrassed or any such thing, simply looks down at himself, confused.]

My, humans are very strange.

[A voice from off-camera says something, though the words can't be made out clearly due to the background clamor of the marketplace. The Prince lifts his head again and his smile returns.]

Ah, yes! As I was saying, my friend and I are in need of bit. Might I offer to do something in exchange for money? That is how this works, I hear.

I also have another question! There is a room for me somewhere, yes? A place to sleep, yes? To kick up one's feet? Well, I seem to have lost it. Sleeping on street benches does not bother me, but my friend Armadillomon insists that I find that room. Does anyone know where it is?
