>>28213412
Let's continue being Daniil, I want to finish that thign up finally.
Also, hiya GAle.

>>28213412
We've solved the puzzle with Daniil, right?
Time to finally use that.

>>28213412
So how long will this Quest last?
Until Monday or something?

>>28213412
Oh right should vote
[X] Continue with Daniil in the cavern with kokuwamon
-[x] Use solution that was made last time to get in contact with Niklas

>>28213412
If we go with Daniil, and if we find a good place to stop with him and Niklas, can we then switch over to Wayne?
Witchmon pic because I like Sally and after this I want to go back to Wayne and her.

>>28214005
It will. I've got no classes tomorrow, so I don't see why not.

>>28214080
Really damned tasty food.

>>28214162
It can be done if you use a save point, yeah.

So, we're going ahead with Daniil? If so, I'll begin the writing.

I'm not using twitter, but is there something wrong with it?
Sometimes I don't see any new posts when I check to see if those whose Quests I follow have said anything about posting today.

>>28214234
Well not like we use the 20's for anything else...
When we get to that point, could you tell us how many we have, and we can make a decision?

>>28214234
No one else seems to want to voice any objection to Daniil, so yeah.
After this though, I really want to go back to Wayne.

>>28214234
Hope you got some nice presents, Gale.
Don't know if they do that over wherever you live, but figure I should hedge my bet

>>28214237
I haven't noticed anything in particular.

>>28214355
As far as I can recall, you have one for Wayne, and perhaps two between Niklas and Daniil. I may be wrong. When it gets to that point, I'll archive dive a bit to see for sure.


>>28214503
Yes, we do the presents thing in California. Got the first Boondock Saints movie, Pacific Rim, A Blind Guardian Album, Woodkid's Golden Age, and then a speaker that runs on THE SUN.
also money. That will be going towards a new ultrasaber.

Alright then.

>writing.

>>28214585
Must just be me, then...
Well that's annoying.

>>28214585
>Pacific Rim
Nice.
One of the best movies of the year, far as I'm concerned.

>>28214585
Where is this gif from, if you don't mind me asking?

>>28215103
an anime called Mushi-shi. I highly recommend it, because it is the most relaxed and laid back supernatural show I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Even more than XXXholic.

>>28215150
Thanks, will do so.

>>28214585
so sorry, I was caught up in something while writing.

You are Daniil Kravec, stuck in a cavern beneath a trap door in a wasteland, and you are very, very proud of yourself.

It took longer than expected- somewhere around a half an hour, but you have managed to decipher nineteen symbols of the digital alphabet that makes up the entirety of your digivice's coding and texts, thanks to Kokuwamon, your best friend's digimon partner. The robotic beetle gave you the first three letters, and (with some difficulty), Through some trial and error, you translated the first four groups of letters you saw on your digivice into English.

>inter-device communication
>extra-device communication
>skill-data transfer
>partner-link

Kokuwamon has no idea what the options mean, leaving you to decide which you want to try first.

>[] let's go with Inter-device
>[] how about extra-device?
>[] I wonder what skill-data is...
>[] let's see what this partner link is...

>>28215774
Inter means "between".
So inter-device should be "between devices".

Which, well, is what we want right now.

>>28215774
...I'm not sure what Extra-device could be.
That basically seems to be communication outside device?
Or beyond device...

First thing first though, need to try and get inter-device communication so we can talk to our friend Niklas.
I do not like that it took us 30 minutes, so many things could've happened.
...After that though we should try and see what we can do with extra-device communication.

Also, Digimon letters have no equivalent to the letter B?
So they can't, say, write "bake me some bread"?

>>28215856
...Should actually put down what I want to vote, shouldn't I?

[x] Inter-device communication
-[x] Try and get in touch with Niklas, 30 minutes is making you worried

>>28215774
Shouldn't we know what partner-link is, come to think of it?
I mean, that's what Wayne used when he talked to Sally while fighting against that Ogremon.
Together with skill-data to give her a boost.

>>28214585
Missed this; but this basically means that all 3 of the humans we've played as will not be sharing Nat 20's?

>>28215774
Got distracted by anything that's risking the continuation of the Quest today?

Gale, can I ask... which of the two groups is in the tenser position right now?
Niklas and Daniil who've been split apart after being hunted, or Wayne who's going to be face to face with a digi-god?

Also I've been following Princess Guard Quest... is it possible to start using pics when you make posts, as well?
It'd be nice to see - and I seem to remember you had some drawings?

>>28215774
I've already voted, but I would like to know...
If we pick inter-device communication, and nothing bad's happened to Niklas... can we also use the action to check on extra-device?
I've got a feeling that's going to lead to something interesting.

>>28215774
Let's go with inter-device. We can try the extra-device thing later on.

Right then, I think we've got a consensus?

>>28215856
you haven't figured out B. You only have 19 of 26 letters translated.

>>28215911
This is correct. They each have a pool for stored rolls.
there may be a perk in the future that will let you share rolls between player characters, and possibly even NPCs. But then again, reaching that perk is another matter.

>>28216027
Technically, the one in the most immediate DANGER would be Daniil.
The one in the situation with the most potential for screwing up would be Zoe.

As for drawings, I'll be working on and scanning one of them today, possibly. If nothing else, I'll have some character portraits for the four kids you've met so far.

>>28215943
Nothing that bad, and hopefully it won't get that bad.

>>28216382
That we do.

>Writing.

>>28216417
>Zoe
I hope we see her today. And Sally, too. I kind of miss them.

>>28216417
>let's go with inter-device

You flip the Digivice open and scroll down to the option that you now recognize as "inter-device communication" on the small touch screen of the phone-like device's lower half. From there, a small window opens, and you're given a list of....words. They appear to be names, judging by the varying letter count and usage in each, though several are grayed out and scrambled. You can't read those at all.

Moving on, you notice one name you're able to read- N I K L A S _ _ L U N D. Niklas Bylund, your friend and the one you're trying to communicate with. You note that the name is colored Green, while another is Red and the third is Blue.

Filing that away for later, you bring up Niklas's tab on your digivice. There's a lot of text on the screen now, but thankfully, you don't have to read that; one of the blank buttons bellow the bottom screen has begun to glow green, much like a cellphone's "call" button.

You give Kokuwamon a questioning look, asking if he thinks it's a good idea, and he nods in reply. You bring the device up to your ear, and hit the green button-

>roll me 1d20 luck, please.

Rolled 13

>>28216822
Oh god please don't end badly.

Rolled 7

>>28216822
and for the other end...

>>28216543
Yeah, I want to go back to that after we've pulled Niklas and Daniil out of the fire.

>>28216908
>13
Well that's pretty good, right?
Solidly above average.

>>28216926
S-so, um, you rolling below average is good, right?

>>28216908
>>28216926
>13 and then 7 on luck rolls
oh man. Oh man.
That's too good.

>>28216543
When we get back to them, we need to have Wayne do the talking.
Just have Aslan pretend to have a stomach ache or something to distract Zoe so she doesn't say anything wrong.
Or being hungry, that's something that should be easy to sell to her.

>>28216822
So...
Wayne is either Red or Blue, that seems to be pretty clear.

>>28216908
>>28216926
Well, then.

That's something.

>>28217299
...Something horrible is going to happen, isn't it.

>>28217299

SUPER LUCKY!!!!!

>>28216991
Well...
If you average them out, you get 10.

What I want to know is who Gale rolled for.

>>28217432

>and for the other end...

Clearly Niklas...

>>28217460
Sssh, let me continue with my pleasant hope that it's the roll for enemy Digimon.

>>28217609

Wouldn't it be funny if we had just called the BBEG....

>>28217691
If we have we've just found our new hobby for everyone.
Call constantly.
With any luck the bad guy will be in the bathroom when we make those calls, or about to take a bath.

Why is it quest threads like these go on forever, yet when I write one I never get a single reply? Fuck you guys.

>>28217691
...Let's hope that Daniil is good at pretending to be a telemarketer or something in that case.

>>28217723

What topic are you running? do you have an audience who want what your running?

>>28217723
I honestly cannot answer that. Which quest did you run, and how can I help?

>>28217723
Do you mean why Quests go on forever?
...Well because people are interested in the story.

Gale, should we be able to switch to Wayne, you might want to send out another message on twitter again.
Just so everyone knows.

>>28216417
I'll say this, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you've drawn; I remember that drawing stuff at Bleach.
Definitely think that could be a very good niche for this Quest!

So, here's to hoping we come out of this alright.

>>28217870
I'll be working on it. In the meantime...

>13 luck

>7 luck

There's a distinct "beep" in your ear, and then an odd, electronic jingle that resembles a phone's ring sounds for what seems like a full five minutes, but could have only been one at most. Finally, there's another beep, and you hear a voice over the other end.

"...Daniil?" It's Niklas. His voice is tense and hushed, like he's trying to keep quiet. In the background, faintly, you can hear some sort of white noise.

"It's me," you answer. "Kokuwamon and I fell down this..." you pause and crane your neck, looking up towards the now-closed trap door-

wait...now closed? It was open last you saw. You curse under your breath, before returning your attention to the digivice.

"We fell down a trap door. I don't know what triggered it, and now we're in this....this cavern." You hear him curse over the other line in reply, something that surprises you. Niklas almost never curses (which, considering your own foul mouth, is quite an accomplishment). Whatever’s going on topside must be pretty serious.

“Daniil, listen: I don’t have a lot of time before we have to change hiding spots again- you were lucky when you fell down there. I’ll stay in touch, and tell Impmon you’re alright. Try to find some way back to the surface if you can- if not, we may have to get down the same way you did.” Now Niklas is really sounding rushed, and you barely have time to acknowledge what he said before he’s hung up. You share a bewildered look with Kokuwamon, who’s looking very worried now, before something catches your eye-

>perception check, 1d20!

I've tried a supervillain themed quest thread, a fantasy themed one, hell even a fucking Megaman themed quest thread, none of them worked.

>>28218133
Let's keep further discussion out of the thread.
I have my quest's email in the field, so if you'd like to go into it some more, then send me a message there.

Rolled 5

>>28218054
Augh, please let this be a good roll...

Rolled 19

Have you checked the Quest General?
Those have some pretty good advice.

What do our Russian eyes see?

>>28218239
>19
Well this worked out better than expected.

>>28218256
I like your rolls, you should continue rolling.

>>28218054
I didn't mean to push you into anything here - last thing I want is to cause stress to ya after you had a great birthday party and everything (by the way, happy birthday Gale).

>>28218054
...If we use the extra-device communication, I'm getting a feeling that it'd let us do something with the digiworld.
Maybe let us activate the trap so that Niklas can come down here?
I do not like the idea of him being up there on his own.

>>28218256
Russian eyes are better than average, it looks like.
...I hope we find something important.

You there Gale?

>>28219093
my apologies. I was attempting- and failing- to draw the four main characters.

so I'll ask now: would you like the drawings tonight and the post delayed a bit, or the post sooner and the drawings tomorrow?

>>28219196

Drawings when you want to post them. You shouldn't rush art....

>>28219294
What they said.

>>28219196
You can post the drawings on Twitter, too, in case you need more time. We have waited 19 threads for them, we don't mind waiting a bit more.

>>28219403
that only makes me feel worse, though.

I'm making some progress, however, so I'll start writing up this next update.

>perception check, 1d20!

>perception 19!
You spin, keeping whatever it is in your sight-

Only to come face to face with something out of one of those children’s horror movies- Burton, you recall.

It...it looks like a panda. You think. To tell the truth, it only vaguely resembles a bear. The stitches, pipes, and blades all over its body keep it from actually looking like anything nature would come up with.

Its frozen still in mid-step, its attempt at sneaking foiled by your sharp eyes. From what you can see, the bear-like digimon was likely attempting to sneak around your side, though what for, you can’t tell. Now it’s been caught, though, and it knows it. Slowly, its head turns to look straight at you, though “look” doesn’t exactly fit, due to the fact that its eyes are simple crosses stitched into its face.

Behind you, you hear Kokuwamon shuffle slightly; most likely getting ready to attack should the bear-thing make a move.

>You have control

>>28219813
"...Sup?"

>>28219813
Well might as well greet him.
Remember how you said hi to Niklas that first time!
That's how you make friends.

And oh boy do we need some friendly faces for this group

>>28219813
Does it look hostile, Gale?
Did it try and sneak up on us as it went around our side, or away from us?

>>28219985
Well... look at it.

It doesn't have any real facial features, but it kind of looks inherently hostile what with the blades and stuff.

>>28220015
Eh true... maybe it's displaying claws?
Fuck I don't know how bears display aggression other than growling and killing.

>>28219813

"Who are you and what business do you have with us?"

>>28220015
So...
Try and befriend it, while Niklas' digimon is there ready to fight?

Still think we should check if it was sneaking away from us (in which case it likely isn't intending to fight us at least) or if it was sneaking up on us (in which case we should prepare for trouble)

>>28220112
Oh I like that.

That combined with, say, these two?
>>28219967
>>28219933

How's that work?

>>28219985
>>28220015
>>28220125
>From what you can see, the bear-like digimon was likely attempting to sneak around your side, though what for, you can’t tell.
You can't tell if it was trying to get away or ambush you by the direction it's facing alone.

>>28220383
Aww I was hoping the good roll would've helped...
Well nevermind then.

So, be friendly (no point in starting anything), but be prepared for trouble.

>>28220383
Still at least attempt words before murds.

>>28220494
Yep, we need some friends.

So it's 4 AM over here (thankfully I've got tomorrow free as well) - heading off to bed now.
Thanks for the game, Gale, looking forward to seeing more tomorrow!

So be friendly seems to be what everyone wants to go with.

>>28221048
So it would seem.

alright, then.

>writing

>>28221185
For a long minute, you just stare at the digimon, and it stares at you. It is as incredibly unnerving as it sounds.

Slowly, you bring a hand up, and you notice it tense at the motion. You figure you should say something to relieve some of the wariness.

“...’Sup?”

You truly are a master of language and communication.

The bear doesn’t move for a moment, but then lifts its own arm, a motion that causes a slight grinding sound to come from its joints, in a mirror of your own gesture.

Behind you, Kokuwamon is still prepared to strike should the bear try anything funny. You consider asking him to stand down, but think better of it. Best to have some sort of insurance he won’t attack. After another minute of this standstill, you try again.

“Who are you? And what business do you have with us?” You try to sound confident, but the lack of expression on the bear’s macabre muzzle is still creeping you out. The bear tilts its head, then shakes it ‘no’, causing more of those grinding sounds to come from its neck. You’re starting to wonder how this thing even moved this close without you hearing it coming a mile away.

“No? No...what?” You try to clarify. “Who are you?” The bear only shrugs. “What is that supposed to mean?” The bear doesn’t answer.

This is getting you nowhere.

With a sigh, you run a hair through your short hair, pulling at it a bit idly, while thinking about how you can go about this. It’s not going to answer anything other than yes or no, or so it seems.

>What will you say or do?

>>28221507

Are you trapped here?
Do you know the way out?

>>28221507
Might as well get it out of the way and show him the digivice, and ask him if he knows what it is.

>>28221577
Let's try this and hope it won't attack us the second it sees it

I didn't know there was a quest already like this.

>>28221765
You ran the other digimon thing earlier today, right?

That's alright, I'm kind of oblivious to other quests, too. Or I'm just that scatterbrained.

>>28221577
>>28221654
if this is our consensus, I can begin writing, or save it until tomorrow, since activity seems to be dying down.

>>28221930

I'm good with that course of action...

>>28222000
In that case, I suppose this will be the last post of the night.

>Show it the digivice

"Are you stuck here?" You ask, and the bear pauses, before shaking its head. Alright, progress. "Do you know the way out?" It shakes its head again. What the...

You're not getting anywhere like this. An idea comes to mind, and though it IS risky, you can't think of anything else right now. Still maintaining eye(?) contact with the bear, you lift your other arm, still holding the digivice, into the bear's view, taking note of its reaction.

And react the bear does. It kind of hops, bouncing up and down on its stubby feet, while pointing emphatically at your hand and the black and blue device held in it. Now we're getting somewhere.

"You know what this is?" You ask, and the bear makes a sort of 'duh' gesture, nodding. "And that means you know who I am?" The bear nods. You take a deep breath, and then prepare to ask the IMPORTANT question...

>[] are you after the reward?

>[] where can I find the Hermits?

>[] have you seen someone else with one of these?

>(There is no "why not both" option this time)

>>28222281

Niklas knows about the map function of the Digivice so he can follow our blip... We can also call him to inform him of what we learnt.

>>28222281
>where can I find the Hermits?

Eyes on the prize.

>>28222281
>where can I find the Hermits?
Yeah this seems good.

He doesn't SEEM hostile and it's not like we could tell if he's lying.

This thread could probably use an archiving?

>>28224748
It already has been.

Bump.

Gale should be around soon!

When does Gale usually show up, anyway?

Hm, should be here soon...

"If you know what this is, then you know why I'm here," You continue, and the bear pauses, and then nods slowly. You're hoping that's a good thing. You look back at Kokuwamon, who still hasn't said anything- normally you'd think he would have, but the guy's really quiet. REALLY quiet. It's kinda creepy.

Anyway, back to the bear. It still hasn't moved, either. Or said anything. Great. It's only just now occurring to you that you're stuck in this place with the two creepiest (no offense to your friend's partner) digimon you know. You try to push past that and get on with it.

"We're here to stop whatever is going on with these dead zones, and we were told that a group called the 'Hermits' would be able to help us." The bear seems to perk up at the mention of the Hermits and points to itself excitedly.

"...You are a hermit?" You venture, trying to interpret the bear's odd boby language. It shakes its head. "You...know where they are?" Emphatic head shaking, accompanied by more scraping noises. It makes you wonder just what the fuck is IN that bear suit. "Can you...show us the way?" More nodding.

You turn back to get Kokuwamon's opinion on this. He's staring at the bear, eyes narrowed in thought. After a couple moments, he sends you a look and nods slowly, while quietly and curtly advising you to be cautious.

Well.

Do you...

>[] trust the bear; he's our best lead

>[] we've got this; we don't need no stinking bear

>[] write in?

>>28235183

Follow the bear. If push comes to shove, we will just have to fight our way out of any sticky situations. Perhaps we should inform Niklas of what we are doing... mayhap we might accidentally access some kind of data archive on digimon which would identify this 'knife bear'...

>>28235183
...Kokuwamon's Niklas partner.
If we trust Niklas, we should trust this guy.
And if we don't display any trust here, the bad guys have already won since we'll never get anywhere.

So, uh.
[x] trust the bear; he's our best lead

>>28235183
That's Daniil?
Nice!

Really appreciate you doing these sketches, Gale.

>>28235183
Fuck it let's follow the spooky bear.

>>28235183
I remember there being talk about posting pics on twitter; you planning on doing that, Gale?
Would be nice to have these pics around for future threads.

>>28235183
...Can we be ready to communicate with Niklas if we're heading off with the bear?

>>28235461
Man I hope we're picking the right choice here...

>>28235596
I could do that, though I was going to post one for each character as it focused on them. Ah well.

Also, I have two for Wayne because I couldn't decide on which I wanted to use. I'll put them together and post them as one.

>>28235668
Of course.

the course of action is still open to suggestion.

So these will all be used in the future for this thread, right?

>>28236149
in the future, period, unless I draw some more later.

Now, then, we're trusting the bear?

>>28236218
Seems so - though nothing says that Kokuwamon shouldn't be ready to electrify the bear if he tries any funny stuff.

>>28236272
Yeah this.

It's not like we have anything better to do.

>>28236572
Alright then.

>Writing

>>28236717
...Why did you use that gif.

>>28236717
Don't be a Cosgrove man.

I mean I know that spooky bear is a virus type, and in fact the pre-evolution of Astamon, who I suspect to be the one in charge of the city, but we don't really have any reason not to trust it right now just because it looks eerie.

>>28236760
>>28236784
....I'm the one who made that Gif, though.

And all the [cosgrove intensifies]. And an [AC-Guy intensifies], too.

I just don't have one for me yet.

>>28236840
Still.

>>28236784
...See now you're making me nervous as well.

>>28236840
Ah.

>>28236784
Guy's got a whole city to manage; if he could afford to have people sit here and do nothing, well, that'd surprise me.

>>28236717
Alright, before I write any more, would you mind giving me two SEPARATE rolls, LABELED, for Luck and Travel?

Rolled 3

>>28237041
Luck!

Rolled 1

>>28237041
Travel

Rolled 15

>>28237041
Travel

Rolled 19

>>28237041
let's see how lucky we're feeling.

Rolled 14

>>28237041
Luck

Rolled 2

>>28237041
How about that travel time.

Rolled 16

>>28237041
Let's see if we can make that travel roll suck less.

>>28237112
So we're absurdly lucky...
>>28237095
yet the path has trouble?

Also, Gale, we each get to roll twice here, then?
Or do we only get to pick to either roll for Luck or Travel?

Rolled 19

>>28237041
And one last try for Travel.

Rolled 20

>>28237095
Well can't be worse to try my own hand at it - this'll be the final TRavel roll

>>28237233
Couldn't have rolled just a little bit sooner?

>>28237233
You may all now thank me as your supreme master of luck.
This cancels out the 1, so we get a 19 I think?

>>28237260
...Fuck you're right.
I thought it was the fifth one.

>>28237261
You're not the best at counting.

>>28237291
Yeah, sorry... fuck.

>>28237112
you guys are so much fun, you know that?

Alright, then.

>Writing some more

>>28237927
That was the best character in the whole show... I'm still annoyed with how the whole thing ended.

>>28238329
Then rejoice, for there is a visual novel coming soon...I hope.

They announced one that would cover the content of the entire 26-episode series they planned for it to be.
Otonashi will also be very different from what I hear, which will be a welcome change from the standard blank MC we see so much of.

I'm just excited by the prospect of not only finding out what TK's deal was, but the possibility of a Shiina route.

I've always had a thing for klutzy ninjas named Shiina/Sheena.

>>28238421
Man fuck Otonashi...
Could not stand that guy at all.

This is a super-world where we can make whatever the fuck we want! I know! Let's force everyone to go into the other, shittier, world!

TK should've been the main character, that would've been great.

>>28238600
To be fair, That WAS the ENTIRE purpose of the super world in the first place. It wasn't even meant to be BE a super world until some kids got that bright idea. And staying in the Super World means you never find peace. Ever. Hell, it was wanting to stay in the super world that made things go full retard towards the end- the shadows were the result of wanting to be happy in purgatory, which just isn't a thing that can happen.

So while Otonashi was a complete dork, he was doing the right thing.

Also, this post is gonna be a two-parter, and once it's done....well, that's another choice for you guys.

>>28238673
Well who made him king who's allowed to decide for everyone what should be done?
...Sorry, I'm just a little annoyed at the ending, don't think I can be rational about this. This sort of stuff just bugs me

>>28238712
He gave them all the option, and they all took it. It was THEIR choice, and failing that, Yuri (the ACTUAL leader) did give them the order.

She WAS the king, more or less, if that helps.

>>28238742
Eh, fair enough.
Still don't like it - giving me these characters and these settings and then expecting me to be happy when they all go away... I just can't do that, I get too invested in stuff

>>28237927
>Luck: 19!
>Travel:...1

This bear is your best bet for finding the hermits right now...not to mention the way out of this place, if one even exists. It wouldn't do to threaten him, either- he might just leave without you.

"Could you show us the way, then?" You ask, keeping your voice friendly and pleasant and an eye on the bear at all times. The thing doesn't move for a while, then slowly nods, silent as ever. Then, before you can thank it, it scampers off into the darkness of the humongous cave, the slight glint of the last vestiges of light playing off the blades in its joints marking its passage through the shadows.

Shit. Shit! If it runs too far, you won't be able to see it!

You take off in pursuit, Kokuwamon buzzing behind you, his claws crackling with electricity to provide a meager, but still much-appreciated light source.

What you can see with the light provided does not comfort you.

The massive sand dune you stood on before was the center of a stone maze, and now you've left the supposed sanctuary for a cold, dark netowrk of tunnels that are still huge enough to fit half your school into.

And then there's the bear.

The bear's fast, and apparently can move WITHOUT making those grinding noises, which makes it even more infuriating to keep track of. Sometimes it'll be to your right and ahead, but once you catch up, it'll dash past you from behind, waving at you to catch up once again. And the whole time, it doesn't say anything, leaving only your own footsteps, your own breathing and Kokuwamon's buzzing to break the unearthly silence in this underground maze.


(1/2)

>>28238803
This goes on for a long time- far too long, it feels. Several times, you think you hear something else in the tunnels with you, but then you'll catch sight of the bear once again, and he'll wave you to the next section of the maze, and the noises will stop. A couple times, he's hung back, and you'll hear a 'snick' noise, before he'll run to take the lead again, not even looking back.

Finally, you notice the air getting less heavy, the tunnels growing less cold. Are you nearing the surface? You hope so. Even with those massive walls, you were beginning to feel claustrophobic in the darkness. Finally, the bear stops, and waits for you to catch up completely, a chance you seize to start breathing properly and catch your breath, rather than catch up. The bear is patient, though, and simply stands there, looking at you. You notice the floor is sloping a bit, and when you look to the bear, it merely points further down the tunnel, where you can see a small pinprick of light in the distance.

"That's....the way out?" You gasp, and the bear nods. before walking towards and then past you, heading back into the maze. You call out to it, but all it does is wave goodbye as it fades into the black, leaving your vision.

Turning back to the exit, you look to Kokuwamon, who's also looking pretty tired (robots can get tired? Huh.), and receive what appears to be a thumbs up from the metal beetle.

Together, the two of you make your way into the light-filled day, and as your eyes adjust...

"Stop right there."

The sharp prick of a razor edge against your throat brings the relief of leaving the tunnel crashing down around you.

You look down and see...

[ERROR DETECTED]
[SWITCHING USER IN 3...2...1]

CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER:

>[Niklas Bylund]

>[Wayne Rogers]

>>28238827
...What.
What the fuck.

GALE.
WHAT THE HELL MAN.

>>28238827
So... did Daniil die?
Because if that is what we got with a 19 luck, I'm getting worried.

>>28238827

Niklas Bylund

we need to regroup with Daniil and Kokuwamon...

>>28238847
...wha-

>>28238904
oh, no-
no, no, he's not dead.

I just left it on a cliffhanger.

>>28238920
Oh, ok.
Well, shit, I don't know...
Niklas, maybe?

So I think we've all learned an important lesson here.
Namely, that bears are assholes.

>>28238920
I didn't mean that in a bad way - I was just expressing surprise; sorry if that wasn't clear

>>28238827
I'd say Niklas. Dude needs his own cliffhanger.

So...
If we pick Niklas, does that mean that the mission will be to save Daniil, and then we can switch over to Wayne?
Or what's the plan here Gale?

>>28238968
I'm hoping he'll man up and get to save Daniil - got to prove the power of friendship in this digimon story!
It'll be like Matt coming to kick Puppetmon's ass, only Niklas won't be a douche!

Thanks for running this, Gale - getting late over here, so I'm heading off.
Will you be running tomorrow, as well?

>>28238977
Niklas is having his own troubles now.

>>28239026
I will not, unfortunately.

And actually, I think this next post will be about the end of this thread.

>>28239047
Ah, shame.
Well, this certainly has proven interesting, will definitely be here for next thread.

If Niklas is having his own trouble right now... yeah, I think we should be as him, because he's the only one who can save Daniil as things stand - who knows, if he manages it we might get that "share Natural 20's" perk talked about.

>>28239047
Well seems we've decided to go with Niklas, which'll be intense.
...I think we should make sure not to start trusting digimon who aren't partners, from now on. At least not until we're walking around with champion/ultimate partners.

>>28239047
Actually, I'd like to ask... since we figured out the code for Daniil, do we need to figure it out with Niklas as well?

>>28238962
Please don't blame the bear. He was only doing what you asked him to.

>>28239159
You will, unless you speak with Daniil at some point.

Now, I've been thinking, and speaking with a friend, and I'd like to apologize. I'm not exactly at my best here, and I may have ended things a bit too early to be satisfactory. To prevent further fuckups, I'm going to end things here, and next thread start fresh and try to make things a bit better.

>>28239477
Ah well, thanks for running then Gale!
Hope it's nothing too bad going on over there.

Also, huh... that spoiler there is interesting.

>>28239477
Hope it wasn't me going 'what' that made you think you fucked up or anything...
Again, didn't mean anything bad by it

>>28239496
>>28239509


If you do have any questions, though, I can always answer those....or not, if they're spoilers.
