Access City, soon after arrival

Chris had to say, she wasn't happy with what circumstances she found herself in. Of course she'd said yes to the question that appeared before her—how could she not?! But she hadn't expected to be taken to another world, least of all one with monsters that had a vague at best plan to accomplish their goals.

Still, she couldn't ignore the threat to her home, or the creatures in need in this world. She had to do something.

Right now though? All she could do was sit on a bench in the park, leaning her head on her hands and generally looking sad. Her partner hadn't shown up yet, and she had no idea where to go to end up looking for one. So all she could do is wait..

"The home I fought for..." she said, sadly. "Is it really so far away?"

The Great And Powerful So-And-So

By now, Chris had met her partner, and... well, they were partners. She couldn't say whether they would get along or not, but this Missimon seemed pretty cynical and hard to convince. Nevertheless, Chris knew they had to get to work accomplishing something, so she'd pursued one of those jobs that were on offer.

The one she selected meant walking the streets at night. Apparently something called a "Devimon" was attacking and scaring people. She checked the handbook on her phone, err, "digivice", and gotten some eyewitness testimony, and something immediately felt fishy. Her time in S.O.N.G. had taught her a thing or too, so she was able to get a sense of where the attacks usually occurred, so she started looking there... and it paid off!

"Hold it right there!" Chris announced to a shadowy figure in an alleyway. "Come on out, you pretender!"

Said shadowy figure loomed over her, rickety wings spread against the knight sky and red eyes gleaming like flashlights. It cried out, its voice legion, and demanded: "Who dares disturb Devimon the great and powerful?!"

Missimon shook her head from behind Chris. "This is going to end in disaster," she sighed.

Access City

[determinationtofist]

[ Hibiki, meanwhile, is in the middle of her daily run around the park with Coronamon... in which she's been going for a while now, and has thus worked up a bit of a sweat... until she spots a familiar figure sitting on a nearby bench. ]

Is that...? Ah! It is!

H-Hey! What are you suddenly speeding up for!?

[ Chris may be able to notice someone fully sprinting in her direction, at which point... ]

CHRIS-CHAAAAAAN!!

[ Incoming: one very sweaty hug. ]

[trustheart]

[Somehow, Chris managed to slide over on the bench at just the right moment to avoid the hug.

Nevertheless, she shot up out of her seat, eyes wide.]

D-Dummy?! I mean—Hibiki?! You're here too?!

[determinationtofist]

Bwugah...!

[ Dang, Chris really has adapted to be able to avoid her hugs... what's she supposed to do now!? Aside from crashing onto the bench in a fantastic fashion.

Not at all bothered, however, Hibiki shoots up as well. ]

Mm! Yeah! I can't believe you're here too, Chris-chan! Where have you been!? I didn't see you when I got here!

[ She's clearly radiating her usual level of Dummy-Positivity. ]

[trustheart]

[Chris shook her head, leaning forward to help Hibiki steady herself.]

I just got here a few hours ago! Why, how long have you been waiting?!

[determinationtofist]

I got here yesterday! I thought that me and Miku were the only ones here!

[ Nevermind the fact that apparently, despite having apparently answered YES around the same days as each other, Miku ended up here a month before her. ]

But now you're here! I bet that means everyone else will be here soon too!

Oi... who the heck is that?

[ And now Chris should be able to notice Coronamon, finally catching up to Hibiki and speaking up after catching his breath. ]

The Great And Powerful So-And-So

[sunshinethatwarmsherup]

"You can't be serious," Solarmon said as both he and Miku walked through the city, looking around for sight of this Devimon. Which would probably be easier to find and surprise if Solarmon wasn't complaining all the time like he always did.

"Of course I'm serious. I was brought here to help and we're supposed to be saving the world. This is something that'll... sorta be doing that last part and will definitely be doing the first part," Miku answered, frowning as they walked. Well, while she walked and Solarmon floated.

"Devimon is an adult level digimon! A stupidly strong adult level digimon! We. Are. Going. To. Die!"

"Come on, it can't be that bad if they're letting us-" The rest of Miku's sentence is interrupted by "Devimon's" rant. And also the fact that someone very familiar was there too.

"Chris-chan?"

Either way she's going to head closer to Chris and the Devimon now because, yeah, that was happening and also one of her friends was there. Solarmon, to his credit, just grumbled but still followed along despite his belief in, you know, their impending doom.

[trustheart]

Chris was about to react to the "Devimon's" declaration, when she heard a familiar voice. She spun around on her heel, and her eyes widened.

"M-Miku?!" she cried. "What are—no, stay back! We have to-"

Before she could say anything else, however, the "creature" she confronted slammed into her, knocking her out into the street.

The "Devimon" screeched, and raised his "claws"...which now, in better lighting, appeared to be three wooden planks connected together with nails at the end for fingers.

"Fool! Ignore the great and powerful Devimon at your own peril!"

[sunshinethatwarmsherup]

"Chris-chan!"

Miku didn't really pay much attention to what Chris said about her pulling back, quickly running over to the other girl instead.

"You idiot! Why are you running towar-" Solarmon's protests are cut off when he realizes that the Devimon's claws were... not claws. But wood. His eyes narrow, and then he moved to closer to the "Devimon". "Sol Calor!"

So yeah, despite being terrified before, Solarmon was now shooting out fire right at the "Devimon".

[trustheart]

Chris grit her teeth. "I said stay back, don't—eh?!"

She stared as the fire hit their adversary...and the "Devimon's" body suddenly burst into flames. Because it was cardboard.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" the voices screamed, before one cleared its throat, saying: "U-Uhm! Pay no attention to our being on fire! This is nothing!"

[sunshinethatwarmsherup]

Miku stared at the digimon on fire as well, not quite sure what she should say to Solarmon, but then she heard what they said and turn her attention to them again. "Uh... I'm pretty sure that even for Digimon that being on fire is bad. You should probably throw all that off."

"How dare you idiots make me think you were actually a threat!" Solarmon shouted, getting ready to send another burst of fire over at whatever the 'Devimon' actually was.

"Solarmon! Stop!"

Solarmon stopped with the fire, letting out a groan at Miku's order. Miku was just glad that Solarmon was actually listening to her right now.

The Great and Powerful So-And-So

[chalicejoker]

There's a sound of tiny footsteps frantically running towards that alleyway. "Over here! I heard something over here! Hajime, you gotta hurry!" A Cutemon skids to a halt nearby, eyes growing big and round at the sight of the shadowy figure that is...menacing?...Missimon and Chris. "Holy cow!"

He does not think about what a cow is. He does not know.

[trustheart]

Chris was about to answer the "creature" before her, when she heard Cutemon's voice. She wheeled around, snarling. "Are you stupid?!" she shouted. "Get out of here!"

That gave "Devimon" the opportunity to attack, swooping low, forcing Chris to duck down. The so-called Fallen Angel sailed over her and Missimon, and rose up into the street.

"You will pay for your insolence!" three voices called out, slightly out of sync. "Demon's Ray!"

The attack, however, came not from its eyes, but its mouth, and it wasn't a ray of any kind... but rather, a large needle and syringe, which flew at Cutemon.

Their aim was clearly bad.

[chalicejoker]

Bad aim or not, a dark figure leaps out, grabs Cutemon, rolls away, deposits Cutemon safely off to the side, and then as soon as he's back on his feet, immediately and aggressively lunges at the dark figure in a flying tackle. "No one attacks him and gets away with it!"

Enjoyed a keyed-up and fighty Kamen Rider, kids.

[trustheart]

Chris barely had time to react, before a figure from outside of some tokusatsu show came barreling out of nowhere and saved Cutemon. She grit her teeth and followed the direction of the attack...just as the tackle knocked Devimon out of the sky, disconnecting it from its head.

Said head fell to the ground, with a pair of clawed feet sticking out, flailing wildly.

"F-Fool!" the "head" said. "This is but a minor injury!"

"NOW RELEASE US!" the body cried, wriggling in its attacker's arms.

Chris blanched, and ran over to the head, putting her foot down on it. "None of you are going anywhere!"

[chalicejoker]

Hajime was not expecting the creature to split into two, but at least he still had a hold of a third of it. He considered the demand to be released and responded by punching the bit he was holding. Not hard, just enough to remind it who was in charge here. "If you want us to make this harder for you, that can be arranged."

Cutemon's walked a bit closer now, looking over curiously. He considered what Hajime was doing, then punched the one Hajime was holding too. The force of this punch would likely go completely unnoticed. "Yeah! What he said!" His Tamer's so cool! And a bad influence!

Access City

[feathersandsmoke]

"Oh! Oh! Gilbert! Can we go over there?" A loud voice of a Chicchimon echoed on a shoulder on a black haired adult nearly falling off in his excitement, causing the other to simply sigh.

"There is nothing over there. We went there a couple days ago." he had managed to catch his friend with his right hand before his Digimon suddenly decide to simply go to the floor anyway when he spotted someone.

Off he goes with Gilbert following. Upon reaching the destination Chicchimon looked up and raised his tiny little wing.

"Hello there." he said happily as Gilbert had finally managed to catch up.

"Don't run away" he said sounding only mildly annoyed before noticing who he was actually talking to. "...hi there. I guess you are a newer arrival?"

Re: Access City

[trustheart]

Chris blinked at the sudden appearance of Digimon and Tamer. She'd been lost in thought til now.

"Uh, that's right," she said. "Just showed up today, in fact."

Re: Access City

[feathersandsmoke]

This was the first new person he had seen since he honestly arrived. SO he also really had no idea what he wanted to say or do honestly. But his digimon however was a lot more talkative.

"I will say welcome then~ I hope you are able to help us and also make all the new friends."

[trustheart]

"Uh...thanks," Chris responded, not really sure of what to make of the pair. "I'm not exactly sure of how I'm gonna be much help though...I haven't even met my partner, yet."

[feathersandsmoke]

"Huh...usually they find you." Gilbert had finally spoken up, pausing briefly as his partner had gone back to him and wanted to be picked up.

Maybe they are at the Daycare?

"Ah...you should try there. Maybe that's why they haven't."

Access City

[ourtomorrow]

Out of nowhere, Chris is presented with - a flower. A daisy, or something similar, held carefully between the claws of a concerned little bug.

He is a Digimon senpai, here in the Digital World of Tamer Union. That means he and Ken-chan are responsible for looking after the new people! And she looked sad, which is no fun. Ken-chan had been sad when Wormmon met him.

So, while Ken-chan suns himself beneath a tree across the way, Wormmon shall do senpai things. He wonders if Ken-chan will be proud of him. He hopes so. He hopes he gets to hear....good job, Wormmon...~

Focus! Focus.

"Are you okay?"

[trustheart]

Chris sat up as she sensed someone nearby, and then looked over upon hearing Wormmon's voice.

She...blushes. Normally she didn't like bugs, but this one was adorable! Cautiously, she reached out to take the flower.

"I-I'm alright," she said, her face red. "Um. Are you my partner?"

[ourtomorrow]

Wormmon shakes his head. "I'm Ken-chan's partner. Is yours not here?"

She hasn't met her partner. That is such an awful feeling. Wormmon thinks it's a little different for Digimon, but even if she isn't feeling this sense of something missing, waiting for something, maybe her partner is! That's so sad.

[trustheart]

Chris frowns, feeling disappointed. Why was that, exactly? She had no reason to anticipate or want a partner, just that she'd been told she had one.

Maybe she just wanted one that was adorable.

"No, they're not. Um, who's Ken-chan?"

[ourtomorrow]

"Ken-chan is Ken-chan."

Wormmon points with a little nub towards a tall young man standing beneath a tree. In contrast to Chris's distress, he has a spacey peaceful look on his face. "He's great, huh?"

(He has not forgotten that she is upset. But maybe talking about Ken-chan will cheer her up! It always works for him.)
