TDM #1 - "Welcome to the Digital World"
I'll come to see you soon
It's best to forget the unnecessary things
There's no more time to be fooling around...
[ Prompt #1 ]
[ "Welcome Tamers" ]
[ "Welcome Tamers" ]
So, you've answered "yes" to the question asking you if you want to save the world. You've gone through the Digital Gate. You've been greeted by Sunflowmon and Nanomon, and told about Tamer Union and the fact that you're to be partnered to a Digimon. What's next?
As it turns out? Ain't no party like a Digimon party because a Digimon party don't stop, and this Digimon party is the biggest and brightest that's been seen in Access City in quite some time! Finally, the Tamer Union is reborn! All these new Tamers and their brand new Digimon are gathered together here in the hopes of bringing peace to the Digital World once more. And what better way to welcome them with a party?
The streets are lined with streamers and festive blinking bits of circuit boards. Multicolored transistors glow softly, lighting the way for revelers who might not yet have a sense of the layout of the town. But hey, if one wishes to step off the beaten path to explore a little more, they're not going to stop you. They all lead to an open area in Access Park, where the main thrust of the party can be found. There’s music being played all night, which might either be new to you, or might be familiar; Tamer Union’s database has samples from across the multiverse, it turns out!
That’s not all, because all of of Access City is now open to new arrivals, from Omekamon’s Arcade to Club Zeal. What’s that? Oh yes, every single establishment in the city will be open all night. It’s a citywide party, after all. Don’t have any BITS? Every single shop is willing to waive their fees… within reason, that is. No one’s going to let you empty out an entire place of business after all.
It’s not all fun and games, though. This is your chance for you and your Digimon partner to meet and get to know one another. Maybe they zero in on you during the party. Maybe the two of you have already found one another. Either way, a night like this may set a precedent for how the two of you you will get on for the future.
[ Prompt #2 ]
[ "Refreshing Refreshments?" ]
[ "Refreshing Refreshments?" ]
No party would be complete without food and drink, and this one's no exception. Access City has gone all out and brought in the widely renowned digital chef, Ebidramon, the proprietor of Ebidramon's Eatery, a restaurant that can be found deep within nearby Bitrot Swamp. Digimon come from far and wide to sample Ebidramon's cuisine, but today, the cuisine has been brought to you!
Ebidramon's palate is said to have ascended beyond human comprehension, and so some of the available foods might not be to everyone's tastes. There's sausage and jellybean pizza and banana and anchovy sliders. There are potato chips and a mysterious "Digital Dip," which the more adventurous among the new arrivals may be able to discover is a delectable blending of marshmallow fluff and caviar. Cookies of all kinds are available as well, ranging from benign chocolate chip to chocolate sandwich cookies with a variety of fun fillings like espresso and buffalo wing. There are asparagus-clam smoothies and a wide selection of the finest sodas and fruit juices available from all across the island. What’s more, some of the strange fruits from Material Jungle have been brought in—the kinds that might leave you turning purple, coughing up polka dots, or making you really energetic all of a sudden.
There's something for everyone, and you can eat as much as you want! This stuff isn't going to keep as leftovers.
[ Prompt #3 ]
[ "They're Throwing What?!" ]
[ "They're Throwing What?!" ]
It's the next day. The party has come and gone, and all that's left of it is stuff to be cleaned up. But hey, that's a job for civil servants right? Though they won't say no to anyone offering to help out.
But before any of that can happen, an incident occurs. Coming up from the city's sewers are the likes of Numemon and Geremon. What are those who usually dwell among the muck and the grime coming out of their hole for? Well, they know there was a party last night, and they're angry over not being invited.
(The whole city was invited. The Numemon and Geremon were simply told not to come if they were going to be a nuisance, and they took that to mean not to come at all.)
Putting aside the inequities of Access City vis a vis the filth dwellers, the Numemon and Geremon are intent on trashing Access Park where the party was held and vandalizing as many places of business as they can. Whether that be by throwing their pink "sludge" everywhere, or by trashing the party equipment and furniture, they're intent on raising a lot of really, really dirty hell.
Those caught up in the chaos must either dodge the so-called "goo" they're flinging or work to stop them. Thankfully, Numemon and Geremon aren't too difficult to deal with, despite their being Adult Levels. Tamer Union didn't intend this to be the first challenge Tamers faced in coming to the Digital World, but it seems fate itself had other ideas.
Mod Notes - Please refer to the Game Info/FAQ for details on how various things in this game work. If something is not covered there, we have the What Are Digimon? page, the Glossary of Terms, the in-progress locations post, and profiles for Digimon up to the Child-Level. If something isn't covered there and you have further questions, or questions about the TDM itself, there will be a space to ask the mods themselves. Also, watch for posts where you can directly interact with some of Tamer Union's key NPCs!
Re: Refreshments
Easy, Wormmon.
[ Ken isn't sure Wormmon can take it easy, under the circumstances, but encouraging him can't hurt. He heads over to the boy. ]
Sorry. He -
[ - those are very distinctive goggles. Ken blinks. Frowns. Searches for the name.
Here it is. ] - Matsuda Takato-kun?
no subject
Meanwhile Takato is confused.
"Ichijouji-san? But... How are you so old now?"
The last time they'd met, hadn't they all been close to the same age?
no subject
[ College-aged Ken and primary-school-aged Matsuda-kun. Is there significance to that? Too little is known to tell.
Guilmon's Teef are very close to Wormmon, which is a little bit scary, but he vaguely remembers this Digimon as being very nice! Actually.... ]
Ohyou'retheDigimonthatcancombinewiththeirpartnerhowdoyoudothatIwantoJogresswithKenchanandbecomegyahahahoohooheehee...one....~
no subject
And then the other realization hits. ]
Are any of the others here? Are they older too?
[ Guilmon sits back and thinks very hard about that question. ]
Guilmon doesn't know. Takato wished that we could fight together, and then we were Dukemon! Maybe if Ken-chan wishes really hard he could do it too!
no subject
[ Wormmon scrunches his face up in deep, DEEP concentration.
...Ken chooses to continue conversing with Takato. ]
Taichi-san - Yagami Taichi. [ Context! ] He's the age I'd expect.
no subject
Ah, Guilmon? I'm not sure if it works that way?
[ He shakes his head as his partner focuses on helping Wormmon and goes back to the other part of the conversation. ]
Wait... does that mean I'm the youngest one here now?
no subject
[ Aside from Digimon, but he figures that can be understood.
Wormmon scrunches up even further. At this rate he's going to curl fully into a ball. ]
no subject
I hope that isn't going to be a problem. We had a hard time at home convincing all of our parents and the adults that we could help.
[Guilmon catches sight of this when he blinks. He carefully pokes at Wormmon.]
Is Wormmon okay? That looks like it hurts.
no subject
[ Ken has a lot of experience talking down boys with goggles.
Wormmon all but deflates when Guilmon pokes him. He even makes a squeaky little air-escaping-from-a-balloon noise as his legs splay on either side of himself, and he flops on his face. ]
no subject
[But he couldn't help but remember how upset their parents and the other adults had been when they'd realized that it was the Tamers who had to fight. Would that happen again here?]
But I guess all I can do for now is try and help wherever I can!
[Guilmon stares at Wormmon with worry and pokes him again.]
Is Wormmon okay?
no subject
[ His voice has slowed. That's encouraging. Kneeling down, Ken gathers his partner into his arms, cradling him baby-style, and looks him over. Pupils have returned to their normal size and shape - no shivering excess energy - ]
It's okay, probably. [ He can't say for certain, not being a medical professional. Not misrepresenting yourself is important. ] He expended his energy too quickly. Now he's tired.
[ Wormmon cuddles close. ] Kn-shnnnnn....
[ Ken smiles a gentle smile full of affection for his buggy baby. ]
no subject
"We should be quiet now, Guilmon. So Wormmon can have a nap."
no subject
[ He certainly seems reassured and glad to have Takato along! Ken knows firsthand just how much children and their Digimon can do. ]
