Digimon Quest!
And I'm in time!
Wonderful!

Have a Witchmon pic.

>>28860460
Ask her if she wants to talk about it?

Also how this began.

>>28860460
I'd like to ask what happened to all the other gods.

Are they... dead?

>>28860666
But I don't see a way of doing that without being blunt, so maybe wait for now.

Only other thing I can think of is asking about Vulkanis's apprentice, since he wanted us to look into him?

>>28860460
Don't forget about the mark Jupitermon saw

>>28860587
This combined with
>>28860666
this would be good.

...Maybe we could ask about the sickness and such that seems to have hit the digiworld.
And, of course, let her add in questions as well.

Vulkanusmon's apprentice - we should ask about him.

THE MARK!
Let's talk about the Mark.
Please.

We need more info about that.

The Mark is probably the same as what those 4 deities saw was affecting Sally...
So, yeah - let's find out what the mark is.

Any of these questions sound good, Gale?

I want to say, I hope you had a fun week, Gale.

We have a decent selection of questions now, I think?
Certainly seems like it to me.

Alright.

the Writing commences.

>>28860943
It was decent. Only two more finals and then I'm FREE, but I still have to go to my last few classes on the days I shouldn't really have to.
Also I bought a new lightsaber and it is beautiful and full of sith.

>>28861127
...Well that's not good.

Maybe we should throw in some compliments and active listening?

Thought that went without saying.

>>28861391
I thought it was?

>>28861391
Isn't that what we're doing, though?
Obviously don't just keep up our deluge of questions, but let her ask stuff as well.

Oh hey, Digimon.
Here we go.

Err...
You ok Gale?

>>28862252
Sorry, I was being bugged to go see the new Hobbit movie by my family. But as much as I'd like to see that, I'd also like to continue questing. I'll see it some other time.

Writing continues.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. Just in time.

>>28862288
Hobbit's pretty good.
Definitely recommend seeing it.

>>28862515
Welcome, yes - we're currently talking to Venusmon (which we need to be careful about, so that Sally doesn't get jealous).

There’s a distinct pause, and you’re unsure if she’s waiting for you to say something, or if you’re waiting for her to continue.

“...Do you want to talk about it?” You ask hesitantly, not wanting to push any boundaries. Not with this woman. To your (mild) relief, she smiles, albeit sadly.

“Perhaps it would help,” she admits, before looking back up to the stars. “The others don’t understand why I do this- to them, the dead are dead, and there’s nothing we can do for them. But I…” She shakes her head slowly, her hands clasping in her lap.

“I had to do something for them. So I wouldn’t forget.” She gestures to one cluster of stars, off to your right. “Those were once digimon who tried to make a life within one of the dead zones, living peacefully. I tried to help them grow crops, or at the very least some sort of life at all, but my powers withered the minute I set foot within the Zone’s boundaries. I could not enter, and so when they died, I could do naught but watch.” Her voice trembles slightly, before she points to the next grouping, this time all centered around one incredibly bright star in particular.

“They were a village that was struck by the blight several Cycles ago. The kindest digimon in the village saw their hunger and pain, and offered to them his own essence, to sustain them just a bit longer, despite the agony it caused him. I pleaded with Diana, then, to take his core and place within the sky on one of her arrows. And even now, it gives light to the others around it.” You’re beginning to regret asking, now; you can see how these stories pain her, but you can’t deny that getting it off her chest would do some good. Glancing in her direction again, you notice a slight tremble in her shoulders, before she stills, and sends you a smile.

(1/2)

>>28862694
“I’m sorry, that was...that was perhaps not the kind of thing one should start a conversation with, is it?” She laughs, almost genuinely, but you can hear the pain in it still. “Was there anything else you’d like to ask me, Wayne?” She’s trying to change the subject, something you’re rather grateful for, but all your questions were going to be about the Dead Zones, something you’re not so sure is a good idea anymore…

Eesh, might be a good idea to ask a lighter question about the crest or the apprentice.

>>28862752
She's a God. She'll be fine.

>>28862709
...Pat her on the shoulders and then ask forgiveness before continuing with the question?
We do need to know.

>>28862792
They gave up fighting because it was too painful for them to continue.
I don't think they will be fine.

>>28862986
Ah, they'll be fine.

>>28862958
Yeah but is she the best deity to ask?

Have some tact, especially when talking to Greco-Roman gods.

>>28863040
Alright, removing vote...
So what should we ask about, then?
Our mark?

>>28862994
Eh, let's just ask about our Mark, and see what that's all about.
Seems like a 'safer' topic.

>>28862709
>>[] No, not if it hurts too much to answer
>>>[] You said you had questions for me, too?
>>>[] Why did you ask me here in the first place?
Tact when speaking to gods keeps you from getting turned into an abomination.
Hopefully.

>>28862709
>[X] No, not if it hurts too much to answer

>>28863167
She's a being of supreme power who is perfectly placed to screw us over, though.
Let's not assume that they're all that moral, until we know more - they abandoned their world to go and have one last party, after all.

>>28863156
I'm liking this option.
But we seriously need to ask about this mark thing as well.
It's got to be important.

Could always stand to add that question, after we ask about the Mark?
Seems like it'd be a topic of interest to her - and she'd probably be pretty enthusiastic of having a chance at bringing some back (which also helps us, since we want as many active digimons as possible)

Now, I've reached a point where this post, with everything I've written, is fucking huge.

And I could go with what I've written based on how you've done with Wayne before, or I could let you guys choose your answers.

There WILL be one thing at the end where you will have a choice, though, and it's the more important part of the post, so I'm not taking anything big from this.

You shake your head in reply.

“I wouldn’t want to cause you any more pain than I already have, even if I do have something else I want to ask you.” Venusmon just looks at you owlishly (or as best she can with her eyes closed and bound) before breaking into a laugh, unable to stop herself.

“You’re a very considerate young man,” She says, the appraisal in her voice unhidden. “And your consideration is quite gratifying, but if you have another question, you need not hold back. I asked to speak with you, and so, speak we shall.” You can do little other than agree, nervously rubbing the back of your neck.

“Alright…” You take a couple moments to think about what it is you wanted to ask her about all along- what has been bothering you since you heard Jupiter mention it earlier in the day. “Jupitermon...he mentioned something about a ‘Mark.’ He asked me where I got it. But I have no clue what he’s talking about, since he apparently didn’t mean my Digivice.” You pull out the red and silver machine, turning it over and over in your palm, before looking back to the goddess beside you. “So what did he mean? What is this ‘Mark’?”

Venus doesn’t respond for a moment, but then she sighs, and looks up to the stars again.

“Wayne, Traveller from the Other World….you’ve been through much in the last few days, haven’t you?” She looks back to you, a sad smile upon her lips. “And yet, you have so much further to go…” She brings a hand up, and rests it upon your chest, right on your sternum. For a second, you think that she’s trying to entice you, but then you notice a faint white glow where her fingers make contact with your body, slowly expanding outwards, forming lines and circles, before fading away just as it reaches your collarbone.

Bewildered, you look from your own chest to Venus, trying to ask the first and most obvious question, but her finger on your lips stops any words you might have had.

“The Mark,” she says, still looking at where her hand is still touching your chest. “Is a sign...a symbol of power. It means that you have a role to play in this world.” Slowly, she pulls her hand back, allowing her fingers to linger for a second, then pulling away. Her gaze lifts from your chest to your face, her expression a mix of several you can barely recognize without being able to see her eyes. “And it’s one I cannot recognize. I doubt Jupitermon could, for that matter, or Neptunemon.”

“...Is that unusual?” You ask, and she nods, her brow furrowed.

“I had thought we had, at one point or another, seen them all. But this…” She places her hand on your sternum again, and once more, the symbol reappears, though now that you have a better look at it, you can see that it’s distorted, blurred. “...That, I do not know.” You think for a moment, and another thought comes to you.

“But how did Jupitermon see it? He didn’t touch me like you did.” Venus shakes her head.

“He didn’t need to. We could all see it on you, even if only barely. What I did was for your benefit more than mine.” She explains. “I do not think most others would be able to, however. It wasn’t until you got as close as you did that I could see it in detail.” You take a moment to process this, but decide to think about it more later. Deciding to change the topic once more, you look back to the Goddess next to you.

“Thank you for answering my questions, even if you didn’t have to,” You say, before gesturing to her. “But I’m here because you asked me to talk with you, and we haven’t even spoken about that yet. What did you want to speak with me about?” Venus doesn’t say anything for a moment, only looking at the stars, but when you’re considering asking again, she speaks.

“Do you care about her?” She asks, and for a second, you wonder who she’s talking about, until the Goddess looks down on your other side, where Sally is sleeping soundly and peacefully, her large forearms acting as makeshift pillows for the witch. You spend a moment watching your partner sleep, feeling a smile creep along your own face.

“Absolutely.”

Venus nods. “And the girl with the lion?”

“Zoe?” You blink in surprise, before thoughts of your best friend bring yet another smile to you. “Yeah. Her too.”

Venusmon is quiet for a minute, simply nodding at your answers.

“You would fight for them?” She asks next.

“I would.” There’s no thinking about that one.

“Even if it meant condemning others so they may see another day?” Now her voice is tinged by a distant sadness, a faint bitterness that you can’t find the root of.

“Why should one die so another can live?” You reply. “There’s always some sort of hope.”

Venus looks back to you, surprise on her features, before her expression softens and she smiles, and stands from where she was sitting beside you, walking out a few paces, then turning back to face you. Whatever was intended by that, she managed to frame herself perfectly with two of the columns, and the stars behind them, creating a stunning image.

“I wanted to see what kind of person could defy my will, and then do it again when most digimon would be fawning at my feet.” She answers, and you can’t help be be a bit uneasy with tha- “I wanted to see who it was that could not only defy the power that made me lose respect for so many in the past, but could also gain my respect in doing so.” She takes a slow, measured step forward, followed by another. “I wanted to understand, if only slightly, why it is that one as unassuming as you might carry so much strength.” She’s stopped directly in front of you, now. “I wanted to better know the one who will be fighting where I ran, where I gave up.”

She pauses, and you get the feeling she’s waiting for you to ask.

“And what did you find?”

She extends her hand to you, gently guiding you up. You can’t help but notice just how soft her hands are...or how she’s at least half a foot taller than you.

“I see a brave soul. One that doesn’t truly understand why he’s here, or where he’s going. But what he needs, he already has.” She places her hand on your chest again, this time over your heart. “This will be your guide, Wayne. If nothing else, trust this.”

She then smiles mischievously, and leans a bit closer, eliciting more nervousness from you with every word. “I am disappointed though. Not once this whole night did you truly look at me. I suppose I’ll have to work better in the future, won’t I?” Her expression then softens, and her hand drifts from your heart up to your cheek. “But what I said remains true; you have earned my respect...and my favor.” And with that, she closes the rest of the distance, placing her lips on your forehead. You can feel a surge of strange, powerful warmth emanating from where she kissed you, reaching down to your toes and then back up again, as you flush and stammer at the act. As she breaks the contact, Venus takes in your blushing and nervousness, and giggles into her free hand. “My, my, I didn’t think you’d be so unused to this, with those two around.” She comments, before she draws back and away, though the unusual, almost electric sensation on your forehead remains.

It seems as though you’ll have one last chance to speak with her before she leaves…

But can we do the above first?

>>28866964

Personally, I think we should go with asking if our digivice could help bring others back.

Sorry. I don't like speaking with God scum.

>>28866995
Ah, so you're one of those euphoric types. Good to know.
>>28866985
That's an idea, also if she has anyone she man know that might be of assistance to us.

Contacts. Aliies. The like.

>>28867029
Hm, ask if she's got any allies who could be of help, while bringing up how we might be able to bring back those she's lost?

>>28866995
It's sort of our job to get them back into the fight, though - they need to start fighting again.

>>28866815
Hey, I know a lot of us are on the Sally train, but I still have to ask how human-digimon relationships work if Wayne literally watched, and had a hand in, Sally being born and growing up.

Just, how does it work? Does Sally become an entirely different person each time she evolves, except for memory? Otherwise, this is similar to a child-guardian relationship, right?

Can we ask Venusmon about how digimon grow mentally and how relationships with them work?

>>28867029
>Ah, so you're one of those euphoric types. Good to know.
Sorry. But I've had my fair share of dealing with Gods and Angels in SMT. I know which way the wind blows.

>>28867098
Gale's already answered that, personality remains the same.
>>28867120
Except this isn't SMT, and the greek gods were surprisingly chill provided you didn't slight them compared to the smote, smote, blowjob, smote gods of abrahamic religion.

>>28867098
She did change massively from Salamon into Witchmon.

>>28867120
Well if you've been dealing with SMT deities, then I can see why you hate them.

>>28867181
So Sally has been alive for 1-3 days but acts like a teen-adult? The sheer mental growth has to come from somewhere.

maybe from Wayne's subconscious desires?

>>28867098
She started showing human affection once she evolved. Like >>28867208 said. Who knows what'll she gain/lose when she evolves into Ladydevimon. And god forbid, Lilithmon.

We're in a precarious situations ladies and gentlemen.

>>28867120
This...is not Shin Megami Tensei.

Just wanted you to know.

>>28867098
you certainly can.

>>28867240
Comes from the Mark of Lust/whatever the equivalent is here.
Lilithmon is a big deal - and this is the first time, ever, that one will have a partner.

>>28867309
>>28867181
Doesn't matter that this isn't SMT. Gods are all the same.

>>28867334
Please, do try to separate your prejudices from one game from the gods I'm portraying in this, then. I'd hate for you to miss out on anything because you hate a videogame too much.

>Bitches don't know about the Amalaverse
The Gods you're portraying in this game are more than likely the exact same Gods from SMT.

But enough about that. I'll keep my mind open.

>>28867334
SMT is generally on the asshole end of depicting deities, so it's kinda unfair to judge them all that way.

Besides, these are God-DIGIMON, and the digital aspect of them will probably be a big factor in what they actually do to the digidestined. At the very least, we can deal with them after the world is not on the brink of destruction(unless they're the ones causing it).

>>28867448
Can we do this, Gale?
Or is this just a "one single thing more you can do, and then she leaves" kind of thing?

>>28868864
Alright, then. I'll answer it before I get back to writing.

I'm using my own time workings for this quest, because each season did in fact change how things worked, unless I'm wrong.

See, Adventure had a "no time passes" rule, while Adventure 2 (if I remember correctly) had time pass rather slowly in the digital world. Tamers had time pass almost normally, but with some levels of time fuckery, and it continues to be inconsistent with every series.

So in this case, I'm going with the way things worked in Tron.

You'll notice I've made use of the word "cycle" several times now. This would be the reason.

http://tron.wikia.com/wiki/Cycle

Basically, a cycle is a bit shorter than a year. Outside, however, it will have been seven days. A millicycle is equal to about eight or so hours, and outside it'll have been ten minutes.

You've now been in the digital world for two days from your perspective. That's about five and a half millicycles...and one hour in real time.

And aging will still work as though you're in the real world. You've only aged an hour.

>>28869253
>And aging will still work as though you're in the real world.
Good. That means /ss/.

>>28869253
Adventure is the one I remember the most clearly, but even that is foggy, since I've never seen any of the movies.

I do remember that in adventure, their physical bodies weren't actually in the digital world. They basically used digital avatars as stand-ins. This has a lot of implications regarding Zoe's health, so I'll refrain from asking about it until it becomes a plot point.

It could become like FFTA though, if staying in there keeps Zoe healthy(er)...

>>28869429
>It could become like FFTA though, if staying in there keeps Zoe healthy(er)...
You mean like Lost? John Locke had paralyzed legs, but they healed when he arrived on the island?

>>28869459
...Would there be any reason for us to leave, then?
I mean, if we can save the digiworld, we'd get to live until we get ridiculously old, and we would barely age.
This isn't even counting what Lilithmon could pull out.

>>28869459
Yeah, although Zoe seems to care more about Wayne than about her own health, so it might not turn out like that.

...Zoe being like that is not necessarily good though...

>>28869533
>Would there be any reason for us to leave, then?
To be fair, if the Digital World was real and you had access to it, would YOU ever leave? I wouldn't.

>>28869556
Well depends - being trapped on Devimon's island wouldn't be pleasant.

Bumping, and then I'm heading off to bed.
See ya all tomorrow.

>>28870114
So long, anon. We'll (probably) be here in the morning.

>writing continues.

I'm sorry!
This post never sounds right, every time I read it over. I'm trying very hard to work with >>28867098, but I can't ever seem to get it right.

>>28871250

I assume that you are writing it as a progressive question, yes? Starting with 'does digivolution have an effect on a digimons personality?', then it can progress onto 'do Digimon change how they react to/treat other digimon when they digivolve?'... possibly leading into further questions along the lines of 'do digimon have 'families'?', 'do digimon have relationships?', 'is digivolution similar to adolescence in humans?'...

Don't know if any of that helps or is just a load of crap... take it as you will...

>Alright, I'm going to post it, and I think this will be the last post of the night.

Looking down at your digivice in your hand, you feel the need to ask, even if it’s a long shot.

“Would it be possible to...somehow save the Digimon you placed in the stars?” You venture, and Venus, though at first surprised by your question, looks thoughtful.

“It...could be possible…” She says, though she looks uncertain. “But I cannot say one way or another.” You nod, resolving to look into this later. “Is there anything else, Wayne?” She asks, and you purse your lips and nod once more. This next question you intend to ask will probably...well, perhaps it’s just better to ask.

“Venusmon,” You begin, before taking a moment to calm yourself, relaxing. “I’d like to ask you something about…” You try to think of a way to say it differently, but in the end, nothing comes to mind. Meanwhile, Venus is waiting for your question, only making you more anxious about this. “I-I’d like to ask you about Sally.” She...well, you think she blinks.

“What about her? She is your partner, is she not?” You sigh and nod.

>>28871815
“She is. And that’s what this is about.” Taking a moment, you attempt to find some better words for what you’re thinking. “I...lately, we’ve been growing closer.” Remembering the night you camped out, you sigh. “Almost too close. I...I can’t help but think that she used to be this cute little dog, but now, she’s…” You gesture to your sleeping partner, in her more humanoid form, and Venus seems to understand what you’re getting at.

“She’s become more like you and your friend… or like me.” You nod, head hanging. It’s slowly dawning on you just how tired you really are.

“Yeah...it’s been maybe four? Five days? And she’s…” You struggle for the words. “She’s new, and strange, but she’s also sort of...familiar...” You trail off as you recall how the last few days have gone. “...And once she changed, the way she began looking at me...” Looking back up to Venus, you can only voice your confusion and bewilderment. “How does this work? How can she be so young, and yet not even a full day later be an adult? And how can I think of her like-” You’re cut off as Venus holds up a hand, a gentle look of understanding on her face. The Goddess beckons you closer, and when you’re near enough, wraps you in an embrace.

“Wayne, Wayne… What you are experiencing is understandable. Your partner is a Digimon, and that’s the thing about Digimon: we Change. We change more times in our lives than many of us can count, and every change is different. Sally is no exception. She is now what we call the ‘adult’ stage, and with it comes a sort of maturity- but it is not the kind of maturity one gains from experience.”

>>28871834
“Sally has the mind of one older than her, but she hasn’t lived the life. She has none of the experiences. She isn’t a child, but she isn’t truly an adult. And when it all happens so fast… if you’re confused about this, can you imagine how she must feel?” Those words slam into your brain and bounce around a couple of times, as you try to register them.

Sally. She’s just as confused as you are, and trying to make both some sense out of and the best of her situation. You have no doubt that her feelings are real, but the speed at which they developed, and the intensity of them are what is unusual. Venus doesn’t stop there, though.

“A Digimon’s personality may change from form to form, Wayne, but a part of them always remains the same. No matter who or what Sally may become in the future, take heart in that she will always be your partner.” You nod slowly, thinking back. Sally did say something about that, didn’t she? How she’d be the only Sally. The only one of her. Venus finally lets go, a small smile growing on her lips. “And I’m sure she’s overjoyed to have a partner who worries about her like you do…” Her smile grows wider. “...Much less one who is so very fond of her.”

You laugh, a bit uncomfortable, only to grow more nervous about the next question you want to ask.

“But...do Digimon even have relationships? Families? Is something like that even possible?” Venus smiles, though there is a bit of sadness to it.

“Relationships? Yes, some do, if they are lucky enough. But there are those who spend all their existence denying such a thing is possible, or even worth mentioning. Families…?” She shakes her head solemnly. “Even rarer.” But when she looks back to you and Sally, her expression becomes a bit more difficult to read. “And what of you? Do you believe a pair such as this would survive?”

“I…” You pause, thinking to yourself.

>>28871850
and of course the options

>[] I think it could.
>[] perhaps with some help, it might
>[] I can’t see it ending well.
>[] write in

If I ended up butchering your intent with that post, anon, please, tell me and we can start anew next time.

>>28871871
>>[] I think it could.
Can't stop the confusion train.

>>28871871
>[] I think it could.
You worded that beautifully, Gale.

>>28871871
>>[] I think it could.
It... it probably won't be easy. Sometimes. But... yeah. Yeah, I think it could.

>>28871871
>[X] I think it could.

so that's all for tonight, but if there are any other questions like earlier, I can try and answer them.

Next thread when?

>>28872544
If I can, it's almost always on Saturday. If not, I'll say so on the twitter.

I'm sorry, anon. I hate waiting, too.

But it's the wait that makes it even better when it comes, right?

NO! I HATES IT! GETS OUT OF HERE

>>28872532
Can we ask Venusmon about what happened to her family, the rest of Olympos XII?

Since it seems like 2/3 of them are elsewhere.

>>28872789
you could, but there's a high chance of that getting answered anyway next thread.

>>28867098
haha, sorry for giving you a hard prompt. you handled it beautifully.

>>28871871
In my opinion, it depends on how deeply we can understand each other, and compensate for each other. That's how it always is in the end, right?

Affection is great, but understanding is key, with relationships as well as with saving the world.

>>28873360
I'm glad you think so. I guess tonight was the thread of the wall posts.

Next thread WILL be next Saturday, hopefully.

For now, I wish you all a good night.

>>28872564
Wait, nothing now for Sunday?

>>28878117
We can only hope that Gale decides to write at the speed of Sanic later on.

>>28878117
There should be a continuation today as well - he usually writes during the whole weekend.

So...
WILL there be anything more this Sunday?

>>28880963
most likely not. There's stuff I need to do today that will detract from any questing concentration I may need. My apologies.

You can ask questions and I can try to answer them, though.

>>28881038
Ah.
Well, thanks for running it today then, Gale.

I've got one question, not sure if you'd answer it, but...
How many chosen are there?
And does Jupitermon really not know of the 4 who summoned us?

>>28881405
no more than ten, but more six.

And the Olympus XII and the Four have interacted before, but not for many, many cycles.

>>28860460

So what are Sally and Veusmon's measurements?

>>28883891
Guess.
