INTRO EVENT: Dawn Of A New Age

The story which has begun to revolve at full speed
Dyes the earth red
The globe is an empty paradise
Let's save it with our hands...


A new day dawns in the Digital World. Technically, it's been a scant few since Tamers first appeared in the Digital World, but today... today is especially momentous. The reason for that is that today is the day that Tamer Union's mission fully begins in earnest. However, the path ahead will not be easy, and will be fraught with danger for human and Digimon alike.

But maybe, just maybe, these disparate people can work together to save their worlds.

Mission Start

The message is sent through on Tamers' digivices early in the morning. It comes from the leaders of Tamer Union, Sunflowmon and Nanomon, who give the directions to gather in the main assembly area of the HQ. When Tamers arrive, they'll find a group of allied Digimon there; essentially, TU's support staff, as well as Panjyamon, Mummymon, and Bitmon. The reason they give... is that it's time for Tamer Union's mission to begin in earnest.

Once everyone is assembled, it's Sunflowmon who speaks first. "Thank you for gathering here today, everyone," she said. "I apologize for the fact that it's taken this long to bring you all together, but we're ready to discuss Tamer Union's mission. Nanomon?"

Nanomon nods, and walks out in front of her. "Hello," he began. "You are all here because you chose to answer our call. All of your worlds are being plagued by some sort of phenomena, and we know that something in this world is the cause of it. We'd like to talk to you about what where we'd like to start focusing our attention."

He took a deep breath, and began explaining the matter of the strange phenomenon known as "Alias". A horrifying, frightful condition that drives Digimon to savagery, where they loose all sense of themselves and become ravenous monsters. He explains that the phenomenon first appeared on the mainland, and that Sunflowmon's master, Rosemon, sent her to restore Tamer Union in an attempt to solve what was truly behind Alias's sudden appearance.

Once Nanomon was finished, Sunflowmon stepped forward, and began to speak solemnly.

"Unfortunately, by the time we managed to bring you all here, Access Island lost contact with the mainland," she explained. "So our ability to pursue this mission is at present quite limited. What we can do right now is do our best to try and make sure that Alias doesn't spread and take over this island... which is why we need you Tamers to be vigilant and patrol the areas of the island that are open to us to determine if Alias has reached Access Island yet or not."

She frowned, and continued. "Furthermore... Tamers are not yet allowed into all areas of the island. The Digimon of each region aren't all sure they can trust you yet. For that reason, you may only be able to use the Trailmon to visit Panorama Plains, Material Jungle, and Pixel Coast.

"I'm sorry. I know after all this, you must all want to get down to business as quickly as we can. But right now, informing you and asking you to stay vigilant is all we can do. I would advise you all to also try and see what you can do to be helpful in the city... and if you want to try building a life here, you'll have our full support."

There looked to be so much more Sunflowmon wished to say. Unfortunately, she had run out of words, so she simply concluded with: "That's all we have for you. If you have any other questions, I'll do my best to answer them."

With that, the meeting was over. That left Tamers with a couple options: one, to approach Sunflowmon, or discuss the matter among themselves.

A Wonderful Day In Our Neighborhood

The inaugural meeting may have been somber, but the Tamers would find Access City bustling and ready to welcome them when they ventured out into the city proper. It turned out that there was something of an event going on, which seemed to be perfect for those still trying to acclimate themselves to their new surroundings: A massive sale in the business district.

All the shops were coordinating with one another. Stores had their wares at reduced prices, which would be a good way for one to spend the stipend they received from Tamer Union. Everything from food to furniture to entertainment was available, and best of all affordable. Others had free samples ready to give out, which were thankfully more palatable than the food served by Ebidramon at the welcome party.

That wasn't all. For those not concerned with buying up anything, there were shows being put on out in the streets by street performers: "human" pyramids, musicians, magicians, jugglers, just about anything you could imagine. And the Digimon putting it on? They would be quick to drag any observers into their performances, whether they technically agreed to it or not.

Even if the rest of the island wasn't ready to trust offworlders yet, it seemed Access City was more than willing to.

Rail Riders

Some time after the big meeting, Tamers would get yet another message on their Digivices, this time from Panjyamon:

Have you all taken a ride on the Trailmon yet? It's an ice way to get around!

Puns aside, he was right. The Trailmon of Console Station were more than willing to carry passengers to any of the available locations. Perhaps you want to get started on patrolling the island for signs of ALIAS. Or maybe you want to get the lay of the land. Or maybe you just want to go to the beach. In any case, your tickets are free, and the Digivice's version of the Handbook has more than enough information for you to read up on the areas before you go.

That being said, there's some goings on that might catch one's eye. A bunch of shifty looking Digimon are riding the Trailmon more than usual. Not only do they make a ruckus on the train, they're going in and out of cargo cars both prior to and upon exiting the train. Do they have permission to do that? And why are they off in such a hurry, and in such large groups?

In any case, this looks like an ample time to find out.


This prompt can be used one of two ways: players visiting the various areas to search for signs of Alias or just because they fancy doing so, or to pursue the Goblimon mystery. If you'd like to pursue the former, you can either NPC them yourself (the Goblimon would turn out to just be everyday troublemakers), or you can request an NPC below and possibly get involved with larger matters!

The Goblimon all chased after Lalamon, easily fooled by the simple diversion. Meanwhile, the car was left open for Yuzu to pull open.

The chittering began again, as a number of green, eyeless faces suddenly looked upon her. It was a small horde of Dokunemon, all awakened, stuffed into numerous crates, which they were clawing and biting at in an attempt to free themselves.

Hikari nods. "Yeah. At least, that how it seems like right now," Hikari admitted. Of course, considering that time hadn't mattered for choosing who to bring last time, it could have easily been the case here.

But so far, everyone she knew from her world was from the same point in time, so thinking about that might just be overthinking everything. "It's probably not something we need to worry about too much, at least?"

Well, that is a really neat idea, Tohru! I could really use all the help in learning to cook for myself and Lunamon.

(Lunamon also beams in pride upon hearing Tohru’s offer to help her partner how to cook. The rabbit Digimon could feel her ears moving in delight as a response while she smiles happily.)

Having cooking sessions with each other sounds like a wonderful plan, Tohru-san. Both I and Lena-san appreciate your kind and generous offer so much.

"Guilmon likes every kind of game," Takato says. "But we usually play tag and hide and go seek."

Erichthonios nods, apparently confident that it would indeed work the same. Why wouldn't it, if the pattern's the same? A memory crystal shouldn't really vary just because it's new! "May you get one of the newer ones then, so you can try for a first impression upon it." He considers, leaning back a little. "Then give it to a friend and see if they notice it's yours."

Is that how it works? He hoped that's how it worked, it sounded like it could be fun. Just because something is a tool doesn't mean it can't be used for entertainment as well.

He had perishingly little time for entertainment of late. "Well, we've a bit of a ride ahead of us as far as I can tell. Why not now? Who was this princess?" There's a guileless sort of acceptance to the suggestion that not only did Nara'a meet a princess, that he saved her and it was beneath an ocean. Why would anyone lie?

"No, I suppose it isn't," Yoshino sighed. She didn't want to admit it, but it made her feel older somehow.

"But either way... it's good to see you, Hikari-chan. I didn't get to deal with your group much, but you seemed to be pretty reliable! We'll need that, here."

It worked for them, and that's what's important to that bond. Erichthonios could understand it, even if it definitely wasn't for him if he could avoid it. How would he ever explain it to the other warders? "Do all Guilmon eventually become Dukemon with the right.. methods?"

Best to be prepared, if that was her future.

"I hope not,"is the other Guilmon's opinion. "If we all grew up to be the same thing, it wouldn't be as fun." But she doesn't sound really certain of that.. it's possible they did, she didn't run into a lot of digimon at that level. "But if it's right for you two, then it's right for you two and that's good, dukemon are neat. But I want to be a nidhoggmon, then I'll be big enough to carry around my tamer."

Erichthonios very obviously has no idea what that is either. "You're too little for now so you'll just have to get carried instead."

"Well, before I came here Guilmon was the only Guilmon I know. But I know other digimon can evolve into lots of different digimon."

He... didn't really want to talk about the other Ultimate form he knew that Guilmon could evolve into.

He frowns.

"Nidhoggmon? Isn't that really scary looking?"

[Hikari nods. And yeah, she had to admit that it was pretty weird seeing Matsuda as a kid considering everything. ]

Yeah, I think I get what you mean there. [And she's also glad to hear that it doesn't really bother him all that much, though she's a little surprised to hear that. ]

But I guess us focusing on it is just going to make things weird, so we should probably just focus on everything else we have to focus on here rather than weird time stuff.

[Okay, okay. Good. She was fine, and Solarmon listened to her. So that was good. She's still not really used to this whole partner thing with him.

But now that that was taken care of, Miku did notice something. ]


So, uh... how've you been? Last time we ran into each other was pretty nuts.

[Takato had rather begun to expect surprises from Digital Worlds. Ever since meeting Guilmon, and becoming part of Dukemon and ever learning that Taichi and Daisuke and everyone were real in another world. It seemed like nothing was impossible.]

That sounds like a plan! And maybe we'll find the answer to everything else on the way.
chainsthatbind: (pic#15445499)

[personal profile] chainsthatbind 2022-04-27 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
This is considered. "I suppose I'll have to ask other Guilmon then, if most become Dukemons eventually.." Then there's ways to do it without a partner! And that'd be fine.

At Takato's frown, the other Guilmon frowns back. "Not anywhere near as scary as all the cyborg digimon. And besides their wings are pretty."

"...What.. do nidhoggmon look like? Or cyborg digimon?" Now he's definitely out of the loop on this one, glancing around as if one might suddenly appear and be a decent example of both.

No such thing happens.

"I'm gonna be better than anyone else!" Cutemon strikes a pose.

Hajime just continues staring at the little Digimon and remains remarkably oblivious to the fact that he has similar opinions of his own skills in battle.

Seems like they would be true to their word at least so Gilbert at least was more than happy to send Raven away or at least vanish for the time being his little partner still not coming out of hiding in his arm for the moment.

"Good, now head off and be good. We will know, I'm sure." He was at least trying to be intimidating and it seemed to be working as he watched them head off. That was that as he looked over.

"That was not exactly something I was expecting."
dreamtamer: (around the corner)

[personal profile] dreamtamer 2022-04-28 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Takato thinks. He didn't remember having a Nidhoggmon card. But then, idea!

He dives into his bag and retrieves his notebook, and quickly flips through it before holding it out.

"This is MegaloGrowmon! This is Guilmon's perfect form, and he's a cyborg type then!"

Guilmon peers at the drawing and cheers.

"Guilmon didn't know you drew that! Takato! You should be in the picture too!"

Takato laugh and pulls out some crayons to quickly scribble in a vaguely recognizable picture of himself.... the size of one of the digimon's claws.

Well, at least the size perspective was accurate.

[At that, Yoshino laughed nervously.]

Oh yes, I suppose it was. Thankful to not be in a situation like that again, honestly.

[Lalamon was the one to speak up next.]

We're just trying to deal with everything we learned this morning.

"I'll have to try that when I get back - or if I manage to get some more of them back. I'd like to know that as well... I've been able to push the equipment I have to its limits - for now. I'm curious just how deeply the memories imprinted." Is it like etching a pattern, or is it more akin to a natural process? He's never been able to tell, and job crystals are too valuable to crack open for analysis.

... The other has a point. He grins a bit - at least this one has an appetite for adventure! He'd been a bit worried, given some of the Ancients he'd met. "So there's an undersea city called Sui-no-Sato beneath the waters of the sea called the Bounty..."

The Digimon scatter, heading towards one of the cabin exits. Once they leave, Nara'a relaxes a little bit, smiling at Gilbert.

"That went well." Comparatively, at least. "Are you all right? I know confrontation doesn't sit well with everyone." It doesn't for him, naturally - but he's had to get good at it over the years considering some of the things he'd seen.

Of course! I plan on it! I wouldn't be a good entertainer if this was the only performance I ever do, right?

[ Lalamon floats on in, hovering just beside Yuzu's head. ]

We're gonna do so many cool things! She was telling me all about the cool things she was able to do back where she's from! It's going to be so fun!

Aha...! Well, without solid Duel Monsters, I don't think I can do everything I could do back home, but we'll definitely try!

I'll just take their place! Just you wait! Once I can evolve, we're gonna have so much fun!
songstressedout: (Panic)

[personal profile] songstressedout 2022-04-29 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh!? There really are Digimon in here!

[ She doesn't know anything about the Digimon inside, but it can't be pleasant for them, all stuffed together into a bunch of crates! She swings the rest of the car open and starts to immediately try and figure out how to open all of the crates while Lalamon keeps the Goblimon distracted... plus, do it as quickly as possible so that she can make sure Lalamon is safe. ]

Don't worry! I'll get you all out of here...!

"Thanks," Hikari smiled at Yoshino when she said that. "And I know what you mean," she said after a moment, looking around at some of the other people around them before turning her attention back to the other woman.

"I mean, I'm sure everyone who's been brought here will be more than capable, but they're still going to need help from those of us who've already had to go through all of this."

[personal profile] thechosenslight 2022-04-30 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Both Hikari and Tailmon smile at Lalamon's idea. It definitely wasn't a bad one with how dangerous the Digital World could be. Especially considering Tailmon's current problem where she's not as strong as she should be for an adult digimon. ]

That's a good idea, going around alone even if you're with your partner might not be the best idea. The Digital World can be dangerous.

[Well, okay, maybe saying it like that probably wasn't the best idea. But too late now. ]

I'm sure things will be fine if you have to go anywhere where it's just you and Lalamon though. Especially in the city. But yeah, we really should go and explore together sometime.
thechosenslight: (kizuna_3901)

[personal profile] thechosenslight 2022-04-30 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Hikari smiles. ]

Yeah. Maybe. [Considering how they were brought here, that might be likely. Then again, it might be something that they'd never know about. It was hard to say.

After a few more moments, Tailmon decided that it might be a good idea to change the topic, at least a little. ]


Have you two noticed anything weird going on with you? I'm not really as strong as I should be here for some reason.

[Miku nods at Yoshino and Lalamon's words. ]

Yeah. It's... everything we heard today was pretty heavy. [You'd think she'd be used to it by now but... yeah, it was still a lot.

Solarmon just shakes his... head? Body? Miku still wasn't sure what the right word to describe that was.]


I mean, wasn't this all something you were expecting. You were asked if you wanted to save the world before getting here, right?

Taiki nodded, beaming. "So you see, Gazimon? Your star is in capable hands!"

Gazimon... nodded, slowly. "Okay, so... can I ask what the deal is with the big tall guy in the robe? You got real antsy around him and he seemed nice enough. You got history or something...?

Ah. Now wasn't that a can of worms. "Not... with Erichthonios, no. Or at least I don't think so. There's... a certain amount of time travel involved, and it's all a bit uncertain-"

"Oh, great."

"-but it's more to do with the... society he comes from, and the people who exist at the top of it..."
