>>22805510
yes, for our sandwiches can apease even the gods!

>>22805627
Picking with us at least a sandwich will help here, though.
Remember how much our digimon liked it?

If the first thing this new one sees is a sandwich with a friendly face, well, I think we'd be much better off in the diplomacy department.

>>22805642
Heh.
Certainly seemed to appease our digimon.

So eh, what the hell.

-[x]if you can, take a sandwich with you, as a first peace offering.

>>22805657
but how do we know it like sandwiches all we know it only like instant noodle

Gale is still here, right?
Anyway, I think the decision is leaning towards moving towards Zoe's place with decent speed (I for one like the idea of sneaking away, because that doc is still there).

Also, come to think of it, we've got our own digimon - we wouldn't really have to be that worried about Zoe's, do we?

>Glad to see you all, by the way.

>>22805719
Hm, fair enough, even though it doesn't strike me as right that there's anyone alive who couldn't like sandwiches.

So, eh, go and hurry to Zoe's then - she said we should do our best to hurry, right?

>>22805729
It's not so much worrying about her Digimon, so much as worrying about it messing up her house.

>>22805765
Huh.
Ok, yeah, I'll admit I didn't think of that.
Eh, we'll see how it goes.

I reach for the door, Salamon just a little bhind me, before I hesitate.

I shut the doctor out earlier.

He's still out there, and he probably thinks Zoe's in some kind of trouble.

It would be a VERY bad idea to go out there now.

At least, out that way. The back door and windows aroubnd the side might be alright...but a window might be a bit too conspicuous.

With a motion to Salamon, I quietly make my way to the other end of the house, reaching for the back door.

I listen, to make sure there's nobody on the other side, and do my best to unlock it quietly.

Salamon gives me a curious look.

"Um...whatcha doin'?"

I shush her, still listening.

"When Zoe started freaking out a little while ago, her doctor was here. I need to know if he's still out there or not."

"Oh." Now she looks a bit nervous. "...Do we not want the doctor here?"

I don't answer just yet, but instead open the door.

Nobody there, that I can see.

>>22806063
I take the first step out, and hear footsteps from the side.

He's coming around to the back already. Shit.

Only one thing to do, then.

I pick up Slamon, an action followed by a surprised squeak from the puppy-like creature, and make a mad dash for the fence that blocks off my backyard from my neighbor's.

There's a portion of the fence that's lower than the rest, and I remember climbing it as a kid.

Well, here's hoping I can still pull that off. With only one arm, no less.

In the background, I hear the Doctor shouting for me to get back, but I ignore his yells.

The back door is locked from the inside, so Zoe won't be pulled into any of this for the moment, and the Doc only got in because I let him in.

So for now, I can just focus on getting away from him.

Gathering myself, I shift a still-protesting Salamon in my arm and leap.

The jump carris me to about chest level with the rest of the fence, and I catch the edge, hoisting myself up without too much trouble.

Dropping down, I can hear the Doctor on the other side.

"Young man, you're going to have a lot of explaining to do when I get my hands on you!"

Ignoring him once more, I think back to my original plan. Zoe's Digimon, who or whatever it is, is gonna be hungry, as far as my experience goes. There's a minimart not far from here, but the food isn't always the best quality, even if it is cheap. On the other hand, I don't think I'd be able to bring Salamon into a proper grocer's. And then there's the idea of making food AT Zoe's, using her stock. But that seems kind of presumptuous...

[] what do?

>>22806477

Zoe will understand.

It's probably eating something already as it is.

Feeding it something won't hurt.

I hope.

Still carrying Salamon, I make my way back into the street, and then make a beeline for Zoe's place.

If I can make it out of the neighborhood without him catching me, then I should be able to get to my destination without him even knowing where it is I'm heading for.

After a good deal of running (and curious stares by people I pass, mostly directed at the now silent Salamon) I finally reach Zoe's street.

Taking a moment to catch my breath, I take in my surroundings.

First thing that anyone would notice about this place?

It's fucking huge. Not Just Zoe's house. All of the houses here.

They're all huge.

My own two-story house is pretty damned showy for my part of town, but these? They're almost out of place.

No, they ARE out of place. This is the richest neighborhood in this side of the city.

That Zoe lives here ALONE, for all intents and purposes, has always worried me. It shouldn't, really, but it does.

Zoe's own house has two stories, like mine, but it's as big as two of my house put together. If not bigger.

The Waldgraves aren't one of those familes who have been here FOREVER, not like some others in this neighborhood.

They only moved here when Zoe was born, if I remember correctly.

Their house, on the other hand, is pretty damned old. Very showy, very ornate. Very "Rich."

I work my way around to the back, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible, and head for the back door, fishing out the key Zoe gave me.

I set Salamon down -and recieve a short glare, probably for picking her up and lugging her around like that in the first place- and open the lock.

(cont'd)

>>22807157

Immediately, Salamon's ears twitch, and her head whips around to face the source of a sound only she heard.

"There's definitely something in there." She confirms, and I nod, suddenly wishing I had brought my bat.

Calling on my memories of the layout from when I was here as a kid, I know that there are multiple bedrooms, a small attic, a basement, the main rooms most homes have, and a kitchen. There is also a study that belongs to Zow's parents, but I've never been in there before.

I should...

[] Investigate Zoe's room first

[] Investigate the den first

[] Investigate the basement first

[] Investigate the attic first

[] Investigate the other bedrooms

[] Investigate the Kitchen first

[] Other?

>>22807168
>[] Investigate the Kitchen first
Prepare a peace sandwich for whomever dwells within

>>22807168
Damn, I don't know...
I'm thinking we might want to check the kitchen first?
If the digimon is hungry, it's probably hanging out around there?

>>22807219
>>22807233

Yes, If it is as hungry as Salamon was, then it will be wreaking havoc in the kitchen, if not then we can arm ourselves with 'DELICIOUS SANDWICHES' to calm the potentially distraught Digimon with...

>>22807279
I like this plan.

>>22807168
>[x] Investigate the Kitchen first

>>22807168
we go for the kitchen or where ever her computer would be since that is where her digimon would have came from.

>>22807492
I don't think we would know where the computer is (we've apparently not been here in a good long while)?
So yeah, probably best to go to the kitchen first.
Then we get food, and that might even get Zoe's digimon to come out on its own.

If not, eh, we go and prepare to offer sandwiches, while protected by our own digimon, so nothing goes wrong.

>>22807168
[X] Have ol'sally lead the way.

The mental image of us treating a Digimon like a hunting dog is too amusing to pass up.

>Zow
Fuck, I hate typos

>>22807219
>>22807233
>>22807279
>>22807395

>Kitchen it is.

I head for the kitchen first. That Digimon is probably going to be hungry, and if normal snacks aren't enough, then perhaps one of those sandwiches I fed Salamon when she was that little blob...

Opening the door to the kitchen itself, the scene I walk into wasn't at all what I was expecting.

The kitchen is in one piece.

Pretty much.

There's a bag of cereal- the generic bulk kind- spilled all over the floor, and some kind of tracks in the crushed rice puffs.

The Digimon obviously isn't here, though. Salamon would know, for one thing, and I don't see anything out of the ordinary at all, aside from that bag.

With a sigh, I begin to search for a broom and dust pan. I can't just leave the mess here, after all.

After sweeping up, I take out some of the required materials I would need to make a sandwich. Multiple kinds of sandwiches, actually.

After preparing the myriad delectables - one of them went to Sal, which she seemed very grateful for- I head out to investigate...

[] Zoe's room

[] the den

[] the basement

[] the attic

[] the other bedrooms

[] Other?

>>22807941
Hm, given where our digimon ended up...
[X] Zoe's Room

I've got a feeling the digimon would be there.

>>22807941
[] Zoe's room

>>22807941

ask Salamon if she has any ideas where Zoe's little friend might be. if that provides no help then TO THE BEDROOM!!!! we should fully search the room. especially under the bed and in the closet.

>>22807941
[X] the basement

Start at the bottom and work your way up. That's how these things work out.

>>22808089
Will we have time for that, though?
I get a feeling that we don't exactly have all the time in the world here.

>>22808273
If time is an issue then we should be having Salamon listening for the other Digimon.

>>22808479
Go to Zoe's room, while asking Salamon to sniff out if she can notice the digimon somewhere?

I think we've got a consensus, right?

>>22808029
>>22807979
>>22807971
>Zoe's room it is

Considering how Salamon showed up, I'd hazard a guess that Zoe's own little friend might have come through her computer as well.

With this in mind, the only place I can think of to have one's personal computer would be her room.

I head up the stairs at a fairly quick pace, Salamon following behind. Watching her jump up the stairs is, I must admit, adorable.

Waiting for her to finish climbing, I ask if she can smell the other digimon. She sniffs a few times, then frowns.

"His smell is everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE. He must have been running around for hours."

Well, there goes that theory. But at the very least, I can see if there's anything left of her room, if that is in fact where this digimon came from.

It's not hard to find Zoe's room: it hasn't changed locations from when we were kids.

In fact, not much about her room has changed at all.

It brings a smile to my face when I s-

"Hey!" Salamon interrupts my reminiscing, an irritated look on her face. "We're here to find this digimon, not daydream!"

The way she says it might not be the nicest, but she's right. If someone else had come and seen something they shouldn't have, there would be a problem. Best to find the thing before it can cause any more trouble.

The only problem being that it isn't here.

There's no evidence that it was here, period.

Nothing destroyed, nothing in shambles, no real mess.

Hell, the room is pretty damned clean, from what I can see.

Should I check the closet or bed, before I move on to another room? (and which room?)

[] yes! For Great justice!

[] no! Be a gentleman!

[] Just get the fuck out already.

[] other?

[X] Call out first, see if you can get the little dude to come out and meet you. Say you're a friend of Zoe's, and that you were there with the whole phone thing - and also that you've got sandwiches.

Well it can't hut to try, can it?

>>22808875
[X] If it's not here then it must be elsewhere.
[X] Check the attic.

Unless we have a reason to we should respect her privacy.

>>22808875

We shall be a gentleman. Though Salamon is a different matter...

just resort for calling 'Zoe's Digimon Companion, We have come to take you to Zoe.'

might work... unless the Digi is sleeping...

>>22808915
It's why I want to try and call out, first, yeah.
Combined with offering food, and such, it seems like it could work.

>There's no evidence that it was here, period.

This means that it's not in the room.

>>22808950
Well alright then.

>>22808968

we could just go around the house making the offer of Food and being taken to Zoe...

did we leave the sandwiches in the kitchen?
also i say we check the attic

>>22808992
We're carrying the sandwiches.

>I apologize for the long wait.
>I just found that soldier baww thread.
>I needed a minute.

(not sure what we might be looking for there, but ok)?

Anyway, good to know this is still going!

>>22809573

There's no point in continuing to look around here. If the digimon isn't here, and hasn't been here, then there's no need to keep searching this room.

As the two of us leave, and I close the door, a thought strikes me.

"Salamon, would it be a bad idea to call for it?" She thinks to herself, then shakes her head.

"If you make it clear that you're here as a friend of Zoe's, I don't see why you can't." And then there's that.

"why is it so important I be a friend of Zoe's for him to come out?" The little dog gives me an odd look.

"Because he's her partner. Just like I'm yours." The way she says it makes it sound like the most apparent thing in the world, and my asking genuinely confused her.

Huh. Well...

We head back downstairs, and begin to call out.

"Whoever is here, I'm a friend of Zoe's! We spoke on the phone earlier!"

No response.

"I come bearing food!"

Still nothing. I try once more.

"Look, Zoe's sick, and I can't stay here much longer. If you want to see her, you'll have to come with us."

Salamon spins around after I say that, on full alert.

There, coming out from behind a door is...

What the fuck is that?

It doesn't resemble anything I've ever seen. Is that a cat's face on a tetherball?

Is that a frill?

I have literally no idea what I'm looking at.

And then it opens its mouth.

"Zoe is sick?"

[] Free response time?

>>22809830
[X] Nod
-[X] Crouch down, offer a sandwich
-[X] "Yeah, she is - she's at my place right now, resting, and I think she'd really like to meet you."

Hah, I KNEW this was the right option.

>>22809830
"Well, technically she has been sick for most of her life. She had a minor relapse this morning at school and I took her to my house because it is closer. We got her medicine and she is in bed. It is why I called earlier."

>>22809940

i second SG's response, though i would also like to add the providing of noms as suggested by >>22809930.

Keeping it simple, and offering sandwiches, seems like the best option here, while explaining the situation.

>>22809830
"Well she's 'sicker' than usual. I'll explain on the way."

Let's keep it short and simple.

>>22809930
>>22809940
>>22810021
>So a combination of these three?
>Alrighty then.

>>22810285

>Sorry, guys, but you may have to wait just a while more.

>Something's come up, and I'll be back soon. Not abandoning the thread just yet.

>>22810810
Waiting patiently, then!

please don't tell me it's over for today

>>22812147
>No, it's not. I told you, I'm not abandoning the thread. Just had some work to do.

>>22812159
You back now?

>>22812320
>indeed I am
I nod, and take one of the sanwiches, offering it to the little...thing.

"Technically, she has been sick for most of her life. She had a minor relapse this morning at school and I took her to my house because it was closer. We got her medicine and she's in bed resting. It's why I called earlier."

The little fuzzball thinks, and looks between me and the sandwich, then takes it tentatively, carrying it off a short distance away while eating. Once he confirms that the offering isn't dangerous, he devours the rest of the sandwich, and then looks at me with a serious expression.

"Take me to Zoe."

A bit unnerved by the little guy's tone, I agree.

Now, how to get him back home without someone noticing.

I can't just carry around a couple of things that look like stuffed animals, and that Doctor may still be around when I get back.

Then I catch sight of one of those drawstring bags, wadded up in a corner, along with a bunch of paper and plastic bags.

I take the bag, and test the fabric with a tug. When it holds well, I nod to myself, and Motion for the little creature to get inside. All I get is a glare in return. With a sigh, I put the rest of the sandwiches in the plastic bags, and then pick up Sala and the newcomer, who protests mightily to this, and make for the back door. Setting down the lion-like creature, I locked the back door, and then, picking up the little animal...


made the mad dash back to my place once more.

Being seen with Salamon was bad enough.

But this new thing?

I'd rather not be seen carrying it around for longer than is neccessary.

Once I reach my neighborhood, I slow down, and take a look around the corner.

I don't spot the doctor, but I can't be sure he's not gone...

He's there, at the front door. And I can't get past him to the back, either.

And that's when I notice the gleam in Salamon's eye.

"Wayne." She says, an eager hint in her voice. "Put me down."

Something about the way she says it forces me to comply, and I set the little puppy down.

She trots down the street with her head held high, and stops in front of my house, turning to face the Doctor on the porch steps.

back on topic, IS IT WORTH IT!? just How awesome will the 20 make it?
if the difference is going from 'explain yourself' to 'ok then', then it's not worth it.

>>22814062
...Isn't it just SkullGreymon. But yeah, don't do anything to cause something like that.

>>22814100

Fuck if I remember but I think you're right.

Anyway even if we can't regain the points, not being able to digivolve might make a cool story down the line

>>22814152
I dont think we'd want to keep her from digivolving, it just wouldnt be the same.

Salamon pulls herself up, making herself appear even just a little taller.
Proudly, loudly, she declares,

"Puppy Howling!"

And then my ears began to hurt.

And from the look of the Doctor, his hurt even more.

He falls over, and Salamon sends me a look that just screams 'Praise me!'

I....I don't even know what to say about that.

Salamon just screamed someone into unconsciouness.

And here I thought my mother could be bad.

Mystified, I pat Sala on the head, and she beams at me. The little lion ting just stares at her in what looks like abject fear.

Unlocking the door, I wind my way around the Doctor, and head upstairs, feeling rather shellshocked.

Zoe's out of bed now, though she's still sitting on the bed itself, and she looks much better than she did a half an hour ago. She breathes a sigh of what seems like relief when she sees me, but then freezes when she sees the newcomer.

"....who is that?" She asks, her voice betraying her nervousness.

The little fuzzball leaps up onto her lap -somehow with just a tail and no legs- and smiles at her.

"You're Zoe?" She nods slowly. "I am Frimon! Your digimon Partner, here to protect you!"

"P-protect me from what?"

Frimon frowns, and looks a bit confused. "I'm not so sure myself, but it was bad enough for us to be sent here for you!" Salamon nods at this, looking at me with that happy little smile of hers. I'm not at all sure how to react to this. And neither is Zoe, it seems.

>>22815628
"You said you were sent. This mean that someone or something did the send. Do you know who"

We should also look to the laptop for clues if they don't know.

>>22815628
Frimon here was really worried when she heard you were sick. From what I can figure out, these "Digimon" are supposed to be special companions or something. Hell, me and Salamon...well, I just like her for some reason.

>>22816139
I think ending here would be better than dragging it out.

>>22816139
I guess you should start again tomorrow, things seem really slow right now.

Well, then. I've explained the little set of rules I've come up with, but is there anything else you'd like to ask, in terms of how the quest works, or things that have been bothering you?

I'll try to answer questions as best I can.

>>22815628

"now that we have all assembled, it is time for an information exchange. we have many questions for you, and i would assume that you also have many questions for us. If we take it in turns asking the questions, then we should all be on the same page. Is this proposition acceptable to you both?"

questions we want to ask;
- Where did you both come from?
- Why are you here, other than to protect us from an unknown danger?
- How did you turn from a slime into your current form Salamon?
- Why Zoe and Myself?
- Are there any more of you?

>>22816267
Are we going to be able to get into fist fights with people eventually? So far there hasn't been anything that bothered me much about this.

>>22816293
Oh, Archivist is still here. Hm.
One or two more posts, maybe, if you'd like, and if things liven up just a bit?

>>22816321
Oh, yes. I'm not going to deny you the chance to let tout your inner Masaru Daimon.

>>22816267

can we get involved in Digimon Socio-Economic structure?

>>22816352
sorry for disappearing, was having a game of Settlers 6 while waiting for an update.... I swear i get better at such games while suffering from Sleep Deprivation...

>>22816380
>socio-economic structure
Um....we'll see. That's implying there's any socio-economic structure in this version of digiworld. I can't say for sure whether there is or not. That's for you to find out.

I need to update my maps, it seems...

We should also probably be rolling for SAN loss since the Digimon ate without a stomach.

>>22816465
And now my Paint Tool Sai has expired. And all my maps were Sai. Fuck me.

>>22816506
No, your digimon is almost ALL stomach. where'd the no stomach thing come from?

>>22816465

we could always introduce it to the Digiworld... create the Digiworld Union. each Biome has it's own social hierarchy, and the leaders of each meet in a neutral location to discuss the various problems facing their respective biomes. they can arrange trades, offer aid or support to struggling biomes... it would also significantly improve the information flow within the Digiworld, meaning that if new evil forces begin to rise, the various biomes can plan and preform organised offensive/defensive actions against said evil forces.

i have too much time to think about such things...

>>22816660
Well....that's...

that's actually a good idea.
You might want to hold onto that. For later.

>>22816641
Seeing what is essentially a head with wings and another head with a tail eating food is not really something you do with your sanity intact, but really I was only joking about the SAN.

>>22816931
well, there goes another of the questers.

I suppose we're over for tonight, but if I run tomorrow, then >>22816293 will most likely be what I go with.

>>22817077

you never know, this thread might still be active tomorrow.

>>22817154
That is very true. However, I'm beginning to run out of steam. Should the thread be alive tomorrow, I might just try and continue. But a new thread might be better in the long run in that case, don't you think?

If enough people wanted me to keep going, I would, but at this point we've lost most of the readers.

>>22815628
"Well, judging by the Suffix "Digi-", their are from the interaction of the digital world with our own. This being the case it would mean that there is a danger that threatens both our own and theirs. We, according to the message I received are "Digidestined", who are partnered with Digimon to solve problems/conflicts involving both worlds." *pause* "Why are you looking at me like that?"

>>22817203
Keep going.

>>22817207
While you don't have enough information to pull that off believably, it's still a clever answer, and I may try to work some of it in.

Damn. the more people post, the longer I want to keep going...

>>22817302

>>22817207
>>22817302
Well if you look at it, it only takes a small amount of deductive skill to figure out. It is not like they aren't using any thing that hasn't been provided at this point.

>>22817357
>>22817207
>"Digidestined" hasn't been used once
>the Digital world hasn't been mentioned at all
>There has been no mention of other worlds period

Not really.

>>22817357
Still reaching the conclusion of digital eggs= digital world is a bit much.

>>22817467
>"Digidestined" also will NOT be used. For reasons you will learn.

>>22817467

as long as this thread is still up, it should be fine to continue here. i mean we haven't even breached 200 posts yet. If you want an example of long lasting quest threads, if memory serves, with Hobo Quest, we once had a thread lasting the best part of four days. and in that time there were nine quest updates.... HK is technically the most unreliable Quest Runner due to his consistent falling asleep due to alcohol and saying he'll make a new thread in an hour, then make it a week later...

so yeah, just continue on this thread untill you hit auto-sage (assuming the thread is still here)

>>22817526
Yeah, sorry guys. I'm gonna have to crash soon. I've been running since I woke up, and it's kind of taking a toll on me. We made good progress, though, I think.

If it's still up tomorrow, then I'll continue. But for now, I bid you all a good night.

>>22817524
... Ok, upon reviewing previous threads, the word digidestined was only used as an abbreviated filename but the words "Chosen" and "Disciple" were used. Would this be enough for Wyane to figure out what was roughly going on?

>>22817632

one would think that based on the available information, Wyane and Zoe would either decide that they are; A. dreaming, B. Tripping Balls, C. subject to some kind of elaborate prank, or D. at the center of some previously thought impossible intrigue.

i still think that the 'This is a dream, so no fucks will be given' is the most likely current mind-set of our hero. at least for the moment.

Hot damn, this thread is still here?
That's fantastic!
I've been reading through it since I missed the last parts here - Salamon is the best partner, it's good that we praised her.

Also, really thankful we haven't traded any points away, right now - the more we get, the better our digimon partner will be.

(I wonder how many points it takes to get Salamon to digivolve, though...)

>>22820952

Oh my god, it IS still here

Holy shit

Okay, so You didn't trade the points, which resulted in the doctor being knocked out, whereas he'd probably have forgotten the past hour or so if it had been the 20.

And yes, she is an *Excellent* Partner.

How many points? That's for me to know, and you to find out...

>>22820952

if i recall correctly, the amount varies on several factors. These are;
- Level, going from In-training to rookie will cost less than going from Champion to Ultimate.
- Branch, we have a standard chain of Digivolving, but we can also unlock different branches for Salamon. The cost a branch is higher than the straight chain.
- Crests, Digimentals (Armor Digi-eggs), these lower the cost of their related branch of digivolution. For example, Gatomon (or Tailmon) digivolves to Angewomon. The cost of unlocking this digivolution can be reduced with the Crest of Light, Or Gatomon digivolving into Nefertimon will cost less if we have the Digimental (Armor Digi-egg) of Light.

also, i suggested this chain due to the shear quantity of awesome it pertains, and Gale said he'd rather not us have Agumon...

>>22822503

though to be honest, i did suggest a slight varience on it, but it was decided that Digimon DO have genders, and that we'd rather not 'Mix it up' with their digivolutions...

>>22822503
>>22822515

the "canon" evolution line as decided by the first two threads is Salamon->Witchmon-> Lady devimon.

However, once an evolution is unlocked, it stays unlocked, and you COULD potentially go back and spent a larger amount of points to get angewomon.

Then there's the fact that I've got evolution paths for Zoe's digimon, as well...

>>22822592

Angewomon digivolution should still be cheaper if we have the Crest of Light though...

>>22822611
>Implying the crests still exist
>Implying they would work for you right now if they do
Implying I'm ever going to use the word "Digidestined" in terms of Wayne or the other kids

>>22822462
I really like that we've got a pic for how we've set it up, there.

>>22822592
This is the best part, yes.
We can unlock LadyDevimon, then go back and unlock, say, Rosemon, before we go back again and open up Minervamon, until we finally decide to head towards Lilithmon.

We've got an incredibly versatile partner, here.

Also...
Are we close to getting to Witchmon, by the way?
Like, halfway there, more/less?
Or would you prefer to keep that a secret as well?

Yes, Gale is back!
...Does this mean we can get an update?

>>22822648
I'm liking the idea that we're just normal people going to mess around with Digimon.

>>22822784

while the crest issue is unconfirmed, are you saying you changed your mind in regards to having things like the Digimentals? you Did say in the pre-quest thread that they would make certain digivolutions cheaper...

then again, your game, your rules. I'm just querying some of them...

>>22822911
Eh?
I'm not Gale, man.
I'm one of the people participating in the Quest run by him.

>>22822911

sorry, meant to reference >>22822648 rather than >>22822784...

I blame crappy touch screen tablet crap...

>>22822911
the Digimentals and crests were an example. There will be catalysts, but not the ones you're used to.

I'm not ripping THAT much off of the original show(s).

>>22822784

you're close, but the situation requires a major factor to facilitate that digivolution that you don't have yet.

Don't worry, though. That's my job to worry about.

>>22822986

Ahhh, so we need the Not-Crests and the Not-Digi-Armor-Eggs in conjunction with Hidden-Digi-Points and a Not-Digivice...

>>22822963
Ah, ok.
No worries.

>>22822986
Nice, thanks for letting us know.
I'm looking forward to seeing what event it'll be!

So, next thread will be this saturday, then?

>>22823888
Well, perhaps. This thread has some life left in it yet, though, and if so, or even if we make a new thread, then I might be able to run today as well.

I would like some time to play team fortress, though.
I've gone too long without my fix.

>>22823924

simple. update, one game. another update, one game... do this until you are satiated with TF2...

update soon?

>>22823924
I'd definitely be down for more today.

>>22824142
Same as this anon here. I missed all of the above thread, sadly.

>>22822986
are you going with the game where, to make agumon to graymon you need find the black horn and give it to him or from numamon to tedimon you need to find the tedi suit?

>>22823992
I might do that. For now, I think I'll focus on the quest. I died enough in the last ten minutes to last all day, sadly.

>>22824252
...I have not played that game.

But no, we won't be using that system.

by factor, I mean there's something that needs to happen first.

>>22816293
>>22815781
>>22815815

Now then, these were the suggestions I was going to go through and use, I believe.

Anyone else have any replies to >>22815628
for me to consider before I continue with the quest?

>>22824642
and this is why I shouldn't post as anon when I'm questing.

>>22815781
I'm with this guy.

>>22824642
>>22817207
>>22817302
don't forget this.

>>22825046
I don't think I'll be using those. Not yet.

>>22826000
Also, I apologize for the wait, but I'm trying to multitask between writing, my research for the quest, and drawing up a map, since my old ones were all in Sai, which just expired yesterday.

>>22826023

"Well," I begin, sitting beside Zoe and looking at the two Digimon. "Now that we're all here, I think it's time we start with the questions. I have a lot of them, and I'm sure Zoe does too, and You both probably do as well. So we should get those out of the way first." It seems like everyone agrees, and so I decide to ask the first question.

"Where did the two of you come from? I know you," I nod to Sala, "Came from my computer, and you," now I indicate Frimon, "most likely came from Zoe's. But where are you from?"

They send each other a look, and Salamon answers.

"We came from a place called 'The Digital World.' Digiworld for short. It's where we Digimon live."

"And what does 'Digimon' stand for?" Zoe asks, curiosity outweighing her usual shyness.

"It means 'Digital Monster,'" Frimon explains, puffing up with pride. Whether over answering Zoe's question or for being a "Digimon," I can't tell. I move on to my next question.

"Well, why are you here? You said you were sent here. Someone or something had to do the sending, and there had to be a reason for it, right?"

Salamon shakes her head, little ears flopping around as she does so.

"I don't really know. The first thing I remember is popping out of the egg. I know what I am, and who I am, but other than that, nothing. I can't tell you, even though I want to."

"It's fine." I wave it off, and she seems to brighten up. "But there is one thing that bothers me..." She tilts her head questioningly, awaiting the next question. "How did you change from that..." I gesture, trying to get my point across. "..whatever you were, into what you are now? Why can you talk now?"

She smiles proudly. "I digivolved, of course!" She says this like it explains everything. It probably does, actually, but not that I can understand.

(cont'd)

>>22826811
"You...what?" Zoe speaks up, looking as lost as I am. "Evolved? Evolution doesn't...work like that. Not in human science."

"But we're not human." Frimon points out, and I have to acknowledge that point. They're digital monsters. They can change shape, talk, and Salamon can yell someone to sleep. Of course they don't play by our logic and rules.

"Two more questions." I say, holding up two fingers for emphasis. "One: are there any more of you?" When they nod emphatically, I can't hold back a sigh. Of course there are. These two CAN'T be the only ones. That'd just make people easy. "Okay, and two: Why us?" They look confused, so I elaborate. "Why Zoe and me? Why us? I mean, whatever purpose whoever has in mind for us, aren't there better people they could choose?" Frimon just makes his equivalent of a shrug, and Salamon just gives me that sad look I've come to associate with "I don't know how to answer, don't be mad at me."

I sigh, and shake my head. "Nevermind. I'm sure it'll be answered at some point. What's important right now is making sure you," I look at Zoe, "Are alright and not hacking up both your lungs." She seems to shrink into herself, and nods.

"Thanks," She mutters, and I'm not exactly sure why she's so shy, when we've been friends since I moved here years ago.

Then I realize that for all their familiarity, we literally met Salamon and Frimon today, and Zoe's always been shy around people she just met.

So, what should I do now?

[] Free response/action time!

>>22826824

"Now that we've had our questions, How about you two? I am sure that there are questions you would like to ask us."

It's only fair that we answer any question for them.

>>22826999
for some reason i can only imagine their response is for more sandwiches

[X] Distractedly pet Salamon on the head, while we think of what to do next.
-[X] "So, ok, we've had our questioning, now - do either of you want to know anything?"

I want Salamon to be happy, and she liked being petted, so why not continue it?
She was sad when she couldn't answer our questions, so making her relax seems like a good idea.

>>22826824
"Right let's get formally introduced since it looks like were going to be together for a while."

Let's have the digimon introduce themselves and do the same for the human side. This will both make Zoe feel a bit better about them, and it might give us some clues about their abilities. We should also do some digging around on the laptop.

>>22827548
This seems good.

>>22827793
but first this.

>>22827548
>>22827793

All this and ask a final question about digivolving, along the lines of "can you explain it" and "how much more can you/how much bigger can you get"

>>22828202
Oh yeah, digivolving is REALLY important to know about.
Any scrap of info we can get about what's needed would be helpful.

>>22828260
>>22828202

>>22826824

Also start ordering food, keep the little things fed and hopefully not deplete our pantry.

"Well, I think now would be a good time for us all to get actually formally introduced." I say, standing up, and looking down at the two Digimon.

"My name is Wayne Rogers. This, is-" I'm about to introduce her, but Zoe speaks up on her own.

"Zoe. Zoe Waldgrave." Salamon nods, and chirps up herself.

"I'm Salamon! Formerly Puttimon, though I like my new self much better!" She smiles at me. "I have you to thank for that, Wayne."

Fuck. How is she that cute. I can't help but give her another pat on the head, and her smile grows even larger. Zoe looks between me and Salamon, then down at the littlz ball of fuzz that is Frimon.

"And you're my partner?" She asks quietly. Frimon gives her a big grin of his own. A grin she returns, tentatively.

"Now, I think you should have some questions of your own, yeah?" I ask, and I'm not at all surprised when both of them say "When can we eat?" at the same time.

With a short laugh, I stand back up, and go to grab that bag of food I brought with me. Lugging it back upstairs, I've already got a few more questions of my own.

Setting the bag down in front of the two little "monsters", I take a few minutes to think about what they've told me. I can accept nearly everything they've said. It all has that sort of "dream-like" quality that makes it difficult to refute, except for one thing.

This "Digivolution." What the hell is that supposed to be? They can change shape, apparently more than once, judging by what Salamon has said. The only way I'm going to get more information on this is to ask them, seeing as I'm lacking any other sources of information at the moment.

>>22831784

"Salamon, Frimon." I begin, and they look up from where they're stuffing themselves with those sandwiches. "This Digivolution...can you tell me anything else about it?" Salamon looks thoughtful, while Frimon just stares at me blankly. Either I'm not getting anything out of him myself, or he doesn't know anything. Salamon does reply, however.

"It's when a Digimon changes from one form to a stronger one." She says, sounding rather sure of herself.

"By stronger, you mean..." I think back to what she did outside. There's no way that was normal.

"Yes, like that." She nods. "I couldn't have done that as I was before. And there are probably things I can't do now that I will be able to when I get stronger!" She sounds hopeful, and anxious, like she's looking forward to this, to getting "Stronger".

That she even needs to be stronger worries me. What sort of situation or life would require something like Sala to have powers like she does?

Zoe sees my unease, and places one of her slender hands on my shoulder. I'm not sure if it helps, but the sentiment is appreciated.

(you guys have been doing pretty well on your own so far. I might stop giving options until major crossroads.)

firstly we will need to do some thing about the good doctor he is probably going to keep bothering us until he get a proper answer.

"so. What exactly makes you able to 'Digivolve', apart from copious amounts of food?"

"How are you feeling now Zoe?"

i think that if Zoe is up for it, we should take her back to her house... not only would it give the damned doctor the slip, but also circumvent the huge misunderstanding that would occur if our parents returned and Zoe was in our bed...

i suggest do something about the doctor, get him off our back without resorting on knocking him out all the time.

"So you guys said you're 'digital monsters' does this mean that you can get viruses, or that you can somehow 'talk' with computers?"

I don't actually remember if this is a thing, but it doesn't hurt to ask,

seems like the best choice

Unfortunately, I'll have to cut this short for this week. I'm glad we could take this thread longer than the other two, though.

This quest is shaping up pretty well, though. I'm glad you guys like it so much.
