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

Date: 2022-05-06 02:14 am (UTC)[They all hissed in unison, then simultaneously cried out:]
We're DoKunemon!
no subject
Date: 2022-05-09 01:48 am (UTC)[ She holds up her Duel Disk, checking the handbook and looking through the records for DoKunemon, and...
They hollow out tree trunks with poison to make their nests, and in large numbers, they can present a significant threat to the health of the Digital World's forests.
She looks back over at the number of DoKunemon. If that's not large numbers, she doesn't know what is. ]
...just gimme a second.
[ And she'll back out of the car and promptly close it. ]

Date: 2022-05-13 04:51 pm (UTC)... And after a moment:]
...When do you think ssssshe's coming back?
no subject
Date: 2022-05-13 05:24 pm (UTC)It just doesn't seem like a good idea to let out a swarm of Digimon that would apparently be dangerous to the well-being of the Digital World's forests. That being said, shoving them all in a bunch of crates doesn't sound really great either.
So, where does that leave her? Well... ]
LALAMON!!
[ She runs out a bit before yelling for her partner, hoping that she's still close enough that she can hear her and come back with all of the Goblimon.
In the meantime, with her Duel Disk activated, she'll draw five monster cards from her deck, readying them for when she needs them. It would be great if they could come out with solid mass, but they should still work for intimidation, even as normal holograms.
Lalamon, meanwhile, has been largely leading the Goblimon in something of a circle... not going too far from Yuzu, but still leading the Goblimon away from her. When she hears Yuzu, though... ]
Eh!? Did something happen!?
[ She'll start to fly back, even with the Goblimon still tailing her. ]
no subject
Date: 2022-05-15 04:48 pm (UTC)"Gobli Strike!" he cried, before flinging it at the Plant Digimon.
no subject
Date: 2022-05-20 02:25 am (UTC)[ Well, it's not like this was the best plan in the world from the outset... but at the very least! Lalamon is doing a good job of dodging the fireballs, including this one as she turns the corner, flying back toward Yuzu. ]
Y-Yuzu!? What happened!?
[ No time to answer, the Goblimon are right behind her. She slams the cards onto her disk, and in five flashes of light... Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir, Bloom Prima the Melodious Choir, Schuberta the Melodious Maestra, Mozarta the Melodious Maestra, and Shopina the Melodious Maestra... all appear.
Aside from Bloom Prima, all very large and angry-looking fairies... but despite how they look, purely holographic and not a threat at all.
She can only hope the Goblimon don't notice that. ]
Alright, you goblins! See all my friends here? Each of them are as strong as an Adult-level Digimon!
[ She's not sure how accurate that would actually be, but she's running with it. ]
Now then, you better start talking!

Date: 2022-05-22 12:00 am (UTC)How do we know those are real, huh?! Humans aren't supposed to have any powers!
[That's what they'd heard, anyway...]
no subject
Date: 2022-05-23 08:17 pm (UTC)That's right, I don't have any powers... but I can still summon friends who do! And...!
[ She takes out another card and slots it into the Duel Disk. Melodious Song of Divine Punishment... the trap card appears in front of her, and an aurora suddenly forms on top of her head... shooting a bolt of green lightning at the feet of the Goblimon leader. ]
We still have ways to defend ourselves! Now, talk! What's the deal with all of the DoKunemon in here!
no subject
Date: 2022-05-26 10:38 pm (UTC)What do you think the deal is, hm? You tellin' me humans can't do math?
[With that, he gave a nod...which served as a signal to his subordinates, who quite suddenly threw a fireball at one of Yuzu's summoned monsters, while another made a dash to tackle Lalamon out of the air.]
no subject
Date: 2022-05-29 11:16 pm (UTC)Fortunately for them, though, that seems to have worked out in their favor... as the fireball phases straight through one of the summoned Monsters, making it way too clear that they're effectively an illusion. Yuzu doesn't have much time to worry about that, though. ]
Lalamon...!
[ Yuzu immediately steps in front of Lalamon, swinging the arm that her Duel Disk is strapped to and whacking the Goblimon away with the blade. It doesn't cut, the Disks aren't designed to, but it'll hurt a bit, and Lalamon is saved for now. ]
Yuzu...!!
[ Crap, this just turned super sour. ]
no subject
Date: 2022-06-02 04:06 pm (UTC)"You got any last words, girlie?" the lead Goblimon snickered.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-10 06:21 pm (UTC)Yuzu-nee...!
[ Yuzu holds Lalamon close to her chest, intending on protecting her partner as much as possible. Her Duel Disk's output right now isn't enough to do much to anybody right now...!
Lalamon, however, has different ideas. ]
L-Lalamon...!?
[ Lalamon suddenly bursts out of Yuzu's grip and flies at the lead Goblimon. ]
I WON'T LET YOU HURT YUZU-NEE!!!
[ The screen on Yuzu's Duel Disk suddenly shines bright, as well as Lalamon herself, until...! ]
Lalamon, evolve!! FAIRYMON!!
