Hey there, /tg/.we're at thirty (official) threads.Wow.Well, we'll just have to kick this off with a bang, then.The twitter:https://twitter.com/DigimonQuestThe archive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Digimon%20QuestThe stat sheets: http://pastebin.com/u/DigimonQuestThe Storybook: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vIIWBQ-sHlw3PZ4D4yH9hiIl8YiqEVpy1ZUztKlSzzsThe last post of the last thread: http://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/30262769/#q30290247
Your newly expanded group sets off, Aslan carrying both the heavier bags and Zoe on his shoulder, Niklas carrying impmon, and Sally floating beside you.You make excellent time, due mostly to the distribution of weight, and a set destination in mind.You make your way out of the dusty plains that the river runs through, crossing through what you're almost certain is the edge of a Dead Zone, before reaching an area thriving with life. There are trees before you and to the sides, and though you pass through unmolested, you just know something is watching you. Nobody else mentions it, though, and so you continue on regardless.You're almost to the point where you intend to meet Daniil at, when a high-pitched whistling pierces the air.Aslan's ears twitch, and a second later, grabs your entire party with a roar of "GET BACK!"and then there's a thunderous crash, and right where you were standing a moment ago, there is a massive rod, embedded in the solid earth at least more than a foot deep.A growl behind you startles you right out of Aslan's grip."Now, who and what do we have here?"
>>30414850>What will you say?>What will you do?>Acting alone will require 1d20>Giving Sally a command will require 2d20>using diplomacy will require 1d20>luck rolls are allowed.

Digimon Quest, here we go!
>>30415032This works.Should we be prepared to order Sally to attack?
>>30414829Hiya Gale, how're you doing?We seem to have some idea of what to do now.
>>30415032Erm, who were you quoting?
>>30415148I made a mistake in one of my posts and rewrote it after anon posted.My bad.>>30415032>>30415105This will do, if that's it.
Rolled 3>>30414850Luck
Rolled 10>>30415209Welp, might as well roll for Luck as well then
>>30415232Average Luck, better than a 3.
>>30415196Ah, ok.Well it still works out pretty well.
Rolled 16>>30415291One more can roll on more time for luck right?
>>30415364Sorry left my dice on
>>30415364Fourth of course...
>>30415032Wait, this was unspecified-is this luck or diplomacy you're rolling for?I'd like to know before I finalize this post.
>>30415032That was for diplomacy not luck, I think>>30415452
>>30415534In that case...>diplomancing: 14>Failure!>luck: 16You turn to face the voice, but are greeted by nothing but air.“...Not the one who decided to attack first and ask questions later?” you venture, and the voice laughs, the gruffness giving way to a hooting cackle.“Ha...aha, ah, you might be right,” They reply, and there’s a sudden blur of motion at the corner of your eye. You turn, but there’s only empty space where the staff used to be. That’s not good. Whoever or whatever it is, they’re armed again now. “You might be right. But that’s never any fun.”You see Aslan set Zoe down off his shoulder, before protectively standing above her, ears and eyes constantly in motion. Impmon too looks ready for a fight, his hands alight. Sally… She still looks oddly serene, but the small runes beginning to carve themselves in the air indicate her readiness to fight.“It’s much more fun when you ask them questions after a nice, long beatdown.”And just like that, there’s a staff flying right at your head.>roll me 1d20 for evasive manuevers>OR>Roll for luck and Sally’s intervention
Rolled 7>>30415697SALLY A BOSSTOTAL CONFIDENCE
Rolled 20>>30415697Dodge!
Rolled 3>>30415697Luck
>>30415732Well.Nobody else for Sally?You have five minutes, and then I roll with this.
>>30415817That ain't good.
Rolled 12>>30415826On more then
>>30415826Can we dodge as well as see what Sally does?
>>30415894I wouldn't have much faith in that.I suppose we'll be going with that 20, then.Writing begins.
>>30415826Can we dodge, but order Sally to attack /after/ our attacker has shown the self and is relatively vulnerable in the aftermath of their attack?
So 20 for evasion and then 12 for what Sally does - not so bad.
Rolled 12>>30415981Eh, just in case rolling for this
I swear if this is that fucking teddy bear thing...
>>30415981That you can.>>30416015and another 12....I'll add that in.
>>30416003We're a fucking ninja, is what we are....And methinks Sally's gonna be having a moment of rage.
Have to say I'm liking what you're doing now with the whole 'limited time to vote' thing, Gale.
>>30416209I don't really get what he's expecting.us to do with Sally though.
>>30416393Tell her to go a-killin'?She, unlike Aslan, is a Champion digimon with several points put into both of her attacks.Well we'll see.
>>30416441We also have a lot more waiting to be used
>DODGE: 20!>Sally: 12x2You don’t think- there’s no time to. You just throw yourself down on the ground, as the massive metal cudgel rips through the air you just vacated, an audible whooshing sound giving you an idea of just how heavy the thing is. Rather than get up, you stay down, motioning for the others to do so as well, and sure enough the staff comes spinning back overhead again, before vanishing into the foliage again.“That was smart,” The voice muses, sounding a bit put out. “Had you tried to catch it, you’d prooobably not be among the living right now.” Sally rises slowly as the voice laughs again, a dark glare growing on her face.“You nearly took my partner’s head off with that.” She states. There’s a pause, and then a slight rustling in the trees above you. Unfortunately, the trees are tall enough and large enough that you can’t see past the first few branches.Sally lifts her arms, the runes following her motion as the circle completes itself.“I don’t take kindly to threats to my partner.” She fires off a Balaluna without invoking its name, shredding part of the canopy overhead. There’s another blur of motion as a shadow leaps from the tree she aimed at to another, and then another, as every time it lands, your partner only shifts her aim, sending more devastating blasts the digimon’s way.And all the while, the offending digimon is laughing his ass off. You can see Sally’s frustration growing more and more as she keeps pumping power into her spell, the circle growing brighter by the second.At this rate, she’s going to completely deforest the area. Or worse.>[] stop her now, form a new plan>[] encourage her to keep going>[] say nothing either way>[] other?
>>30416780>[X] stop her now, form a new planDo we have to figure out the plan?
>>30416831You can, or you can ask another member of your group for one.
>>30416853Right.Either way, we need to stop this - when your enemy is laughing without anything seeming to hit him, it's not worthwhile....How about Sally flies up and keep overwatch while we check if Daniil is still moving around?Oh, or can we just spread a little water vapor around, so if this thing is invisible we can still see his outline?
>>30416780Tell her to calm down
>>30416906Yeah we need her calm - this isn't doing shit, given how the enemy is laughing his ass off....Can we get him pissed?He has basically failed to hit a young dude on his own, that's pretty incompetent of him.If we can get him to start growing angry, he can make mistakes.
So general idea seems to be "tell Sally to calm down", I think?
>>30416780>>[] stop her now, form a new plan
...Can't Impmon just set trees on fire?And we've got Sally to stop any fire from spreading, so it shouldn't bother us that much?Then whoever is laughing his ass off has a choice of dying through fire or coming out to face multiple Champions (given he's not out and mocking us openly, he likely isn't nearly as confident as he thinks) - because if he wants to stop the fire he has to reveal his location, which means Sally and Aslan can pounce and tear him to pieces.
>>30417043>given he's not out and mocking us openly, he likely isn't nearly as confident as he thinksnearly as confident as he ACTS.Dammit, what's wrong with me tonight...
>>30416780>Stop her now, we need an actual plan.We should probably thank her for her concern but caution her that she seems to be playing into our attacker's game.
So, we all seem in favor of stopping Sally.I'll get to that, then.
Really, when you face an enemy like this, it's important not to do what makes them pleased.Given this guy apparently enjoys Sally pulling this shit, we need another plan.
When this is over, I'm going to vote for Sally torturuing this asho...If he tries to attack, can't we hit him from wherever the attack comes from?
>>30417359...Torturing this asshole.God dammit.
>[] stop her now, form a new plan“Sally,” You reach out, grasping her shoulder. She looks at you in confusion, like she can’t understand why you’re stopping her. “We’ll never get anywhere like this, and you’re just wasting your strength.” She looks ahead to the havoc she’s wrought, before glancing back to you and nodding. The circle disappears, and she steps back, still scanning the treetops warily.Meanwhile, you’re trying to think of a better approach than “raze the forest to the ground.” Several have come to you, but you have no idea how effective they’d be. Edging closer to Zoe, you relay several possibilities to your friend, who’s still being guarded by Aslan. Once you’re finished, she closes her eyes to think, and you can almost see her brain firing cylinders like crazy. After a couple moments, she looks back to you.“Asking Sally to fly up isn’t a good idea. She’d be a clear target for anything else that’s out there, and we’d be out a capable fighter. And having her mist the area is almost worse- it’d be too damp for Impmon to do any fighting, and we might hamper our own visibility in the process.”“Angering whoever is attacking us to get him to make a mistake has merit, but he could also be holding back on us, and making him mad might just make him stronger.” She spares Daniil’s partner an appraising look. “But getting Impmon to set the trees on fire? It’d eliminate his cover, and create a hazard he’d have to be careful of.”>which will you go with?>[] Send Sally up to get a better look.>[] Ask Sally to create a fog cover.>[] Your mother was a hampster...>[] Burn. Burn it all.
>>30417480[X] Burn. Burn it all.-[x] Make sure Sally is ready to douse the area if we need to, though.
>>30417480>>[] Ask Sally to create a fog cover.
>>30417514Zoe's got a point in that it makes it harder for us to see as well, though - which is not ideal when we can't really spot him now either.
>>30417480Cleanse. Purge. Burn.Also, Gale, I has an idea.How about if you put enough points into a skill (like, say, we dump 2-3k into Sally's balaluna gale) it becomes mastered, and the digimon in question can now use it in all stages of evolution?
>>30417480>>[] Burn. Burn it all.
>>30417480>>[] Burn. Burn it all.My inner pyromaniac beckons.
>>30417514It means Impmon will be pretty much useless for this, though.
>>30417597He'll be useless until he digivolves.
>>30417582Hoo boy, I'm liking this idea.It also means we'd have a reason to search through the other evolutions if we get the opportunity.
>>30417617Hey don't say that!He's got, um, well he's got morale!He's the cutest little thing we've got right now.
>>30417582I have plans for this. Worry not.>>30417513>>30417582>>30417586>>30417589and it seems letting our inner pyromaniac out has won.So be it.
>>30417582We spend points, rather than XP... so maybe, say, 10 points and it counts as Mastered?
>>30417678C-can we also add in keeping Sally prepared in case we need to douse the whole forest?
>>30417678>I have plans for this. Worry not.Man I'm curious now...
>>30417678Oh, I've been meaning to ask, just how much more xp would it take, roughly, to evolve Sally from Lady Devimon to Minervamon instead of Lilithmon?
Rolled 15, 20 = 35>>30417718That you can. Also, rolling for something.>>30417888A LOT. But there are ways to reduce that cost.
>>30417934Oh my.Well, I better get back to writing.
>>30417961Oh shit.
>>30417961
>>30417934Well, something is a lucky bastard.
>>30417934God please let that Natural 20 be for our side.
>>30417934S-so...The 15 might be for the enemy - but then the 20 would be for us!Let's remain positive!
>>30418177Doesn't he roll 2d20 for NPCs?
>>30418177Let's positive thinking!
>>30418202Impmon counts as an NPC!
>>30418238Impmon. Helpful. Not computing.
>>30418286He was very important when it comes to fixing up the whole mess in Tamers... granted he helped start the mess.On another note, we need to always keep Daniil between him and Aslan
>[] Burn. Burn it all.>Enemy Digimon: 15>Impmon: 20It takes but a moment for you to settle on the plan you want to use.“Hey, Impmon,” You call.“Da?” the little imp’s glare doesn’t subside as he meets your gaze. Little guy seems pretty annoyed. That he's picked up Daniil's native tongue kind of ruins the effect, though. It's kinda cute.“Do you know how well your fire burns digital trees?” The grin that sprouts on the little digimon’s face could rival a shark’s.“No, but I’m always ready to find out!” He yells in glee, already flinging fireballs into the trees around you. As it turns out, digital trees catch fire rather easily.You motion your own partner closer, and speak in a hushed voice.“I need you to be ready to put out the fires if they get too out of control. I don’t want to end up ruining the entire ecosystem here.” Your partner stifles a laugh while nodding, another of her runic circles already prepping.By now, more trees are on fire than you care to count. Not only are they on fire, they’re on a LOT of fire. Smoke is quickly filling the air, and you’re already beginning to cough. Zoe, thankfully, thought to cover her face with the neck of her shirt, so she’s not getting anywhere near the worst of it. Through slightly watery eyes, you notice one of the trees move, before a flaming mass of fur and leather jumps out, howling and hooting as he tries to put out the fire on… on his tail.
>>30418462Before you stands...a monkey. A very TALL monkey. His hair a stark white, and he’s dressed in clothes that look like they were taken off of a biker, complete with a leather jacket and combat boots. Over his undeniably modern clothes, however, are the remnants of what appears to be armor of some kind. His apeish face is set in a scowl as he pats the embers out of his furry appendage, before he turns to face you and your group. Suddenly, there’s a massive weight on your shoulder, and in the blink of an eye, he’s resting his staff on your shoulder, the only thing keeping it from crushing you being the hand he’s holding the other end with. His mirth is gone, a point made evident when he speaks.“Nobody fucks with my tail.”to the side, you can see Zoe staring in shock, despite the irritation to her eyes, while Sally is full-on glaring at this digimon that has you at his mercy. Aslan’s whole body is one coiled muscle, ready to strike at Zoe’s command, while Niklas and impmon are...standing their ground, surprisingly.>[] How will you respond to this?
>>30418462BWAHAHAHAHAOh man.Oh yes.This is good.VENGEANCE!
>>30418486...Wait what level is this guy?Can Sally and Aslan win?
>>30418486...[x] Sally: Evolve to LadyDevimonPlease?
>>30418486Right, this is Gokuwmon.He's the equivalent of an Ultimate-level digimon.Don't think we can win this - but he did just try to kill us, so not sure how we can talk him down.CAN Sally evolve now, Gale?
>>30418486WAIT!Wait I've got it.We just need to get Gokuwmon to swear - according to the wiki, he will pass out of this happens.And he's already said "fucks"
>>30418486I don't suppose Wayne knows enough about Chinese mythology to figure out how to play what is apparently the digimon equivalent of sun wukong?
>>30418486Shrug with free shoulder, "To be fair, you've nearly killed me twice already. Now, can we talk or are you going to let the forest burn behind you?"
>>30418678He only passes out if he swears in excess.
>>30418486"You don't really have the right to be pissed."im thinking either:-pull out digivice-PRESS EVERYTHINGor-get ready to dodge
>>30418678Gale?Can this work?
>>30418732>-pull out digivice>-PRESS EVERYTHINGI REALLY want to do this just to see what would happen.
>>30418714Well what counts as excess?More than once?10 times?5?
>>30418703>>30418678Alas, your specialty is greek/roman, with a feel books read here and there of other mythologies.>>30418643Well, she COULD...if you weren't missing something very important.
Don't suppose we can mention this isn't very enlightened of him?You know, sort of make him think of Sanzomon and what she would feel about killing random strangers?
>>30418790...Do we have to kiss her or something?Because I can't figure out what it is we're missing - have you hinted at it somewhere before and I've just missed it?
>>30418790>if you weren't missing something very important.WHAT IS IT YOU POOP BRAIN
>>30418790To be fair, Sun Wukong legend is one of the most popular Chinese myths around...
>>30418790>feelfew.a few books.damnit.>>30418824I really can't say.>>30418854Well, you could roll me a knowledge check on chinese myth if you REALLY want to invoke his background...In which case it's a d20, and you'll have a 16 DC.
>>30418790>something very important.stop teasing everyone. If you already gave hints, then say so, but don't let us go ultimate because of a 20 or something.Really, 2 champions and a rookie should be enough to keep him back.WAIT, does Zoe know about skill data? Is she using lvl 1 moves?
>>30418790I know barely anything at all about Chinese mythology, I don't know their pantheon, their monsters or their heroes.I know Sun Wukong, he is that famous.
HAVE we gotten hints?Because if so, I'm going to reread other threads and see what we might be missing - but it'd be nice to know if you've been dropping hints, Gale
>>30418913Yeah - I don't think wayne should have only 25% chance to know about Sun Wukong.
>>30418844Clearly we need to promise to marry Sally.Then Lust will activate and Lilithmon is one step closer to arriving upon the world.
>>30418950>>30418913I disagree. I know Sun Wukong, but I didn't know about the swearing bit.
>>30419001That's just added to the digimon thing.
>>30419001That's a difference between the myth (in the actual myth, the priest can give Sun Wukong a massive headache - but it doesn't happen automatically, while it does for his digimon counterpart)
>>30418899Zoe has not been using skill data.And, honestly, you're right. I'm sorry. I've been a tad too cryptic, I think.I did leave hints earlier, but I might have been trying too hard to be subtle.The bars under Sally's profile in an earlier thread were locked, meaning her digivolutions are not yet purchasable. The catalyst for unlocking them has yet to appear, but will before very long. If I'm still being too vague, I'm sorry.>>30418913>>30418950Knowing Sun Wukong and knowing exactly what to say and how to outsmart him are not the same thing.
>>30419079...Well then.Erm, do we want to roll?
>>30418486"Crushing my arm off seems a but disproportionate don't you think?"
>>30418710...We might as well go with something like this?Possibly while being prepared to dodge.
Rolled 18>>30419079We should tell her about the skill data. Maybe get a brief POV switch so we can pick out which skills to upgrade?>but I might have been trying too hard to be subtle.subtle is fine, but keep the cryptic out. We'll get to ultimate in time. It's more fun when other anons make crazier and crazier theories anyway. If you have to react, post a stereotypical "just as planned" gif or something.Rolling to have Sally douse his tail. Ermm, WITHOUT trying to hurt him. It'll make us look good, and it's not like tails on fire is going to do a lot of damage.
>>30419201That's an 18!...Aww, but it's for something else.
>>30419079Crests?Sorry, it's probably been too long since I had too much to do with digimon. Part of why I love this quest is the nostalgia factor, the other is the quality of the work you produce.
>>30418710>>30419190>>30419194>>30419201Well, if there's nothing else, I think this will do.If that's acceptable? We've slowed down, and I've been trying to prevent that this thread.>>30419241While I can't confirm or deny the first part, I can thank you for the second. You have a much higher opinion of my work than I do.
>>30419304Yeah this is fine with me.
Rolled 13>>30419304gogogoif you think we're going too slow, you can just start writing and post which decisions you decided to work with(unless decisions contradict of course)
Hm, Ultimates are generally quite a bit harded to deal with than Champions... at least until you bring an Ultimate of your own to the fight, as Etemon found out.
>>30419304It's emotional growth on our part, isn't it?
>>30419597Emotional growth as in, I don't know, accepting the possibility of a relationship?
>>30419631Hey, I'm trying to stretch my memory a decade here and am stuck on the scene from the first season when goggles forced a viral evolution (dark skull greymon or something like that?). The solution, I think, was trust in his partner, some sort of personal epiphany and some pure emotion or other. Just grasping at straws here.
>>30419734No, no, it makes sense.Reaching Ultimate level seems to require some deeper connection between partners, when a digivice is involved (naturally, as a digivice gives any digimon the potential to reach Mega, and lets points be spent on abilities, there's got to be some balancing point)
>>30419734Let's just try everything.Yell at SallyHit herSelf mutilateGet REALLY FUCKING ANGRYPunch ZoeKiss another random DigimonSOMETHING has got to happen.
>>30419777>Punch ZoeAnd then Wayne was lion food
>>30419777Those (with the exception of punching Zoe) probably would result in problems (evolution to an uncontroljable, highly destructive but heella powerful monster).

>>30419777>Kiss another random DigimonLet's... let's not do this.I pity whoever it'd be, when Lilithmon takes the stage.
The weight on your shoulder is starting to ache more than a bit, and the monkey digimon’s not looking any less aggravated. Despite this, you can’t help but quip at him.“Crushing my arm seems a bit disproportionate, don’t you think? Besides, didn’t you nearly kill me twice now?” The monkey huffs, but doesn’t lift the staff. You look over to sally, and urgently motion for her to douse the digimon’s still smoldering tail. She does so easily enough, though not without sending him a glare, and you a disapproving look. Noticing this, the giant primate lifts his staff from your shoulder to examine his extra limb, making sure it isn’t too badly burned.“So,” You say, somewhat nervously, as the leather-decked monkey digimon looks at you with eyes narrowed, the expression mimicking the x-shaped scar between his eyes. “Are we just gonna stand here and watch the forest burn?” ignoring Impmon’s sardonic reply of “Yes!” “You’re the one who started them.” The antagonizing digimon points out, to which you merely shrug.“And it got you out of the trees. That doesn’t mean I want to destroy the whole forest.” The monkey looks at you for a minute, before laughing again, and nodding.“Yes, yes, that’s true.” Sally takes this opportunity to vent some of her frustration, blasting the fires around you with her aquary pressure… a tad harder than you believe is necessary, but you’re not gonna stop her again. To your continued surprise, the digimon you were just fighting begins to spin his staff, the gusts of wind following the arcs the weapon makes flaring and then burning out the remaining fires. His skill with the staff is such that his hands don’t even appear to be moving, made even more impressive by how heavy you know the staff is.
>>30419897When all the embers are doused and dying, the massive primate looks your group over, noting each of you in turn.“You’re like the boy said you’d be, though he never said anything about someone YOUR size,” he directs the last comment to Aslan, who regards the other digimon cooly. “I’ve hit something of a growth spurt,” The lion says simply, as if that explains everything. Zoe just looks at her partner like he’s grown a second head, mane and all. You take the lion digimon’s willingness to joke as a good thing. The monkey just laughs again, before tossing his staff up in the air, where it… begins to shrink. When it comes back down, it’s the size of a toothpick...and he even uses it like one, holding it between his teeth.“I hope you aren’t TOO offended, kiddo.” He grins around the staff-pick. “I just wanted to see what kind of weirdos we’re dealing with.”He says that, but…>[] wait, what was that you said?>[] what do you mean, weirdos?>[] but why would you do that?>[] free response
>>30419920>>[] what do you mean, weirdos?You're a giant monkey man.
>>30419920oh thank god diplomacy worked.>"Who's this boy?"
I want everyone to acknowledge that I totally called it that the bear wasn't evil.>>30419920[x] "So... is the kid who I think it is?"
>>30419920"Wait you know where [the guy we're looking for] is?"
>>30419920Ho thank goodness, we're not getting killed by a pissed off digimon equivalent to the Monkey King.
>>30419897>Sally takes this opportunity to vent some of her frustration, blasting the fires around you with her aquary pressure… a tad harder than you believe is necessary, but you’re not gonna stop her again...So!Who is ready for some delicious apple-based food stuff when this is all said and done?Because I know I sure am.
>>30419930Let's... let's not do something that might start up a fight again.
>>30420054Food sounds good. I'm hungry.
>>30419992>>30419983>>30419961Can we combine these three?Seems to get everything.
>>30420102That's what appears to be the course of action.I'll get to writing that.
...Man I wonder how the hell Daniil (if it is him) managed to accomplish all of this.
Man, is there anything Wayne can't diplomacy?Hope our diplomacy skills work against Sally, though...
>[] Wait, what kid?“Hold on a second,” You say, holding up a hand. “Kid? You don’t mean-”“A human. Like you. Taller, though, with shorter hair. Talks different too.” He waves a hand lazily. “You might know him.” You and the others share a look that is not at all lacking triumph. It’s got to be Daniil. You’ve finally got the group together. Or you will, if this guy ever tells you where he is.“Um,” Niklas of all people speaks up now, the shy boy no doubt excited about reuniting with his friend and his own partner. “C-could you show us where he is?” The monkey snorts in amusement.“Kid, I didn’t just come here to see what you were made of.” He grins widely, in a way you’re not sure is entirely friendly. “I’m the welcoming committee.”That gets a nervous gulp out of your new friend, but when the monkey turns and begins to walk up the path you were heading down, he lets out a sigh of relief.“C’mon, all a’ ya. The rest are waiting.”Not much conversation is had during the walk, but you do take the time to make sure that Zoe and Sally are alright; Zoe with her illness, and Sally with, well, her temper. Zoe waves off your concerns, insisting she’s fine, while Sally just huffs.“Next time, Wayne, you let ME take the risks.” she says, her angry expression melting into one of distress. “I don’t want you to scare me like that again, okay?” While you’re unsure just how to react to this side of your partner, you do know that you can’t make that promise.“I’ll do my best,” You say, “but I can’t promise you anything.” She bites her lips, before grudgingly agreeing, lapsing into a perturbed silence. You get the feeling that this conversation isn’t over, only postponed.
>>30420773Before long, you reach what appears to be the end of the forest, small as it was, and beyond that you can see a large number of rocky hills, both big and small. And there, on the crest of one of them-is a familiar, decidedly human figure.“Daniil!” Niklas calls out, waving to the other boy. The russian waves as well, and begins to make his way down, followed by what you can only assume is Niklas’ digimon partner… a large metal beetle.Well, that one news story makes sense now.You meet your fellow chosen halfway, and the older boy greets you all with arms spread wide.“It’s good to see you all okay,” He says, grinning like a madman. “At one point, I had thought the worst.”“Well, you’re not the only one.” You joke, and he claps you on the back with a laugh. The russian teen seems much more upbeat now; you can only assume something good happened when you got separated.Niklas spares no time in celebrating his reunion with his best friend and partner, who you learn is called Kokuwamon, while Daniil simply bumps fists with his own partner, both wearing a matching grin.A couple more introductions are made, and re-made in Aslan’s case, before you just have to ask…>[] so where have you been?>[] what’s with the monkey, then?>[] you seem different…>[] other?
>>30420802>>[] what’s with the monkey, then?
>>30420802>[X] you seem different…Well he is acting different, need to figure out what's up.
>>30420802So when should we suggest to Niklas and Daniil that they name their partners?Might help smooth over whatever problems Niklas' got with Kokuwamon.
>>30420802>>[] you seem different…>how to digiviceseriously, we need to make sure being separated stops becoming a giant problem.>Nicholas eanoolsee how Niklaas is doing?
>>30420869Oh man, yeah, this is important.Need to consider digivice-related issues.
>>30420802HOW DO WE DIGIVICE NIKLASHOW DOES IT WORK
>>30420893Daniil you mean.
>>30420918WHATEVERFUCKING KRAUTS
>>30420934Hey don't say that - Daniil has been very decent....Except when he went nuts and almost ruined Niklas' plan.
>>30420802>[X] you seem different...I think in a good way.
>>30420822>>30420869>>30420893>>30420890>>30420986So we're for a "you seem different"/"digivice" combo.Then if there are no more suggestions, the writing begins.
Heading off in about 30 minutes - will the thread continue tomorrow, Gale?
>>30421289It's unsure right now. I'll be sure to post ahead of time on the twitter when I find out.
>>30421450>[] you seem different/digivice: how to intoDaniil’s attitude isn’t quite like how you remember it, something the others seem to have picked up on, from what you can tell.“Something about you seems different,” You comment, and when the chosen looks at you curiously, you hasten to add “Not in a bad way, or anything, but I remember you being a bit more…” You search for the right word. “I dunno, closed off?” The other teen nods thoughtfully.“I can’t disagree with that; I wasn’t the most open of persons when we met. But we can talk about this back at the camp.” He motions for your group to follow him over the hill, and you can tell you won’t get much more out of him this very second. Besides, mention of camp has reminded you that not only are you tired, you’re hungry. And if you’re hungry, you just know the others will be, too. So, there’s nothing left but to climb the rest of the hill and see what he’s talking about…The camp, if one could call it that, is less of a tent-and-fire-pit camp and more of an entire campground situated between two hills. There are tons of makeshift shelters, ranging from tents and teepees to what look suspiciously like trailer homes. There has to be more than a hundred of them at least from what you can see, and more than that, there are digimon of all kinds.Daniil leads you down into the thick of the bustling grounds, weaving around occupants and abodes alike, heading towards what you believe is the center of the valley. As you make your way through, more than a few digimon stop what they’re doing to stare at your group, some in surprise, while others just look curious. You wave tentatively as you pass by, and one or two wave back, seemingly confused by the gesture.
>>30421805Soon, you reach what’s roughly the center of the huge gathering, where you notice a tent much larger than the others. Much, much larger. Daniil gestures to the entrance, and hold the “door” open for you. After a moment’s hesitation, Zoe’s the first to step in, after which you follow.Within the tent, it’s much cooler than it was outside, something you’re grateful for. The tent seems to be a sort of communal area, or perhaps a meeting place, due to the number of tree stumps that you guess are meant to be used as stools. A guess that’s proven right when Daniil sits in one and motions for the rest of you to do the same. Somewhere along the way, you notice, the monkey digimon split off from the group, but rather than that, you decide to focus on your...friend? Yeah, you suppose he’s a friend.“So, what is this place? And what is it that prompted this change?” You ask, and Daniil grins.“This is hope, Wayne Rogers. These are digimon that still believe.” He gestures to in the direction you came from. “Those digimon are the ones that didn’t lose hope throughout this whole disaster, or perhaps regained their hope. It’s of little importance. What does matter is that the one that’s gathered them wants to meet you.” He looks around the circle. “All of you.” You nod slowly, and resolve to ask about that later.“Niklas told me you figured out how to work the digivice?” The russian nods, and pulls his device out.“Thanks mostly to his partner, yes. Without Kokuwamon, I never would have figured anything out.”
>>30421822He shows you a page, and begins to point to the different symbols.“Each of these corresponds to a letter in English. It’s a straight translation- a code, not another language.” He then reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a folded piece of paper, handing it to you. “I wrote it down after I figured it out. It’s just a matter of learning another set of letters, honestly.”[ITEM RECEIVED: DANIIL’S CIPHER: You can now translate the digimon code! You don’t know it by heart yet, but given enough time, you can learn just what secrets this little device holds!]“You have no idea how much trouble this is going to save us,” You say, and he laughs.“I think I do, actually.”>what do you want to say or ask next?
>>30421850"You want some time alone with Impmon?" Same type of question for Niklas."I don't know...WHAT I'm supposed to do with all that hope, with that many people depending on us. Couldn't hurt to see what we can do for them, though."
>>30421850Suggest Niklas comes up with a name for Kokuwamon while Daniil thinks of one for Impmon?It really helped us and Zoe get closer to our partners
>>30422099This. It make it a lot easier when they constantly evolve and devolve.Also, it's time for everyone to pool their digivice and digi-partner (skills for example) knowledge.
>>30422099Yeah, let's do this.
>>30421997>>30422099>>30422179>>30422302We have consensus, then.>writing begins
>>30422635I hope you already started writing long before this.There's really no need to wait 30 min if everyone is agreeing.
>Time between updates should ideally be 10 to 20 minutes. 30+ plus sends the thread into “WHERE IS OP?!” mode and after 45 minutes, the game starts to die off.Learn it, follow it, love it Gale.
>>30422664I was actually away for about half of that.My bad.It's all written up, though.>[] give the four some space.Thinking on it, you realize that Daniil and Niklas have spent more time with the others’ partner than they have their own while in the Digital World.That won’t do at all. You stand up from your seat, rubbing your shoulder to alleviate some of the pain left from the monkey digimon’s staff.“Well, I’m interested in seeing more this camp- why don’t you guys and your partners take this time to catch up?” You suggest. “I’m sure we can find our way back here easily enough.” Daniil seems to find this a good idea, and as you’re about to turn and leave, he holds out his fist, much like he did with Impmon.“I’ll see you later, then, Rogers.” You nod, and after a moment of consideration, meet his fist with yours. The others are heading out of the tent by now, but as you’re about to leave, you remember something else you wanted to bring up.“Actually, Daniil, Niklas, there’s one more thing…” You explain to them about digimon and names, and Daniil grimaces.“I’ve never been the best with names, but I’ll see if I’ve got any he likes.” Niklas nods in agreement, and you bid the two goodbye for now.
>>30422981Outside the tent, it’s still a bit warm, but it’s growing cooler slowly. Night must be coming soon.All around you are stalls and tents and huts and shacks, and around them are digimon of all shapes, sizes, and colors.To your right, you see Zoe and Aslan inspecting a series of stalls that appear to be shops of some kind, while to your left, you notice a crowd forming around...you don’t know what, actually., You can’t see. Sally’s hovering just above the heads of those in the back, looking over the crowd in what appears to be amusement.Ahead of you, you can see the way you came, as well as another series of stalls and shops. There’s bound to be even more on the other side as well.Where would you like to go? Anything you would like to keep an eye out for?>[] see what’s up with Zoe and Aslan>[] check out straight ahead>[] what’s Sally doing?>[] look around some more>[] other?
>>30422998>what’s Sally doing?
>>30422998>[x] see what’s up with Zoe and Aslan>[x] check out whatever that crowd is aboutIn that order. The four of us check the crowd.
>>30422998>>[] what’s Sally doing?
>>30422998>what's Sally doing?
>>30423052>>30423067>>30423107>>30423064so, these four it shall be, unless there are any other votes?if not, I'll start writing the whole post in five.
>>30423052>>30423067>>30423107Now, I love Sally too, but I think we should really stop basically ignoring Zoe on every choice ever. She's supposed to be our really close childhood friend. I feel bad for her.
>>30422998Go shopping with Zoe. See what passes as useful commodities in the digital world.
>>30423237Hmm, that's true. I was planning on us meeting up with her later though.
>>30423237Darn, before I crack open the archive did we ever confess/kiss her back when we were in the real world?
>>30423334I don't... think so?
>>30423334I guess everything would be different if we did.
>>30423344Ok, because I remember Aslan interrupting a tender moment a long time ago, but that's it.
>check with Zoe and Aslan, then see what Sally’s doingYou head for your human friend and her digimon first. Zoe seems to be looking at some kind of...jewelry? You don’t know what it is, exactly, but it reminds you of the collar Sally wore when she was a Salamon. As you get nearer, you notice that Zoe’s arguing with the shopkeeper, which is a...is that a pumpkin? Does it have an AXE in its head?! Digimon are weird.“...and I said that whatever metal this is, it can’t be worth my bag!”“And I told you if you wanted protection against the powers of the Dead Zone, you’ll trade me for that Holy Ring!”“Can you even prove these rings work, anyway?” Your best friend’s question seems to trouble the shopkeeper, and the pumpkin...doll...thing...starts to sweat. Somehow.Did you mention digimon are weird?“W-what a stupid question! Everyone knows that holy rings work. It’s just common sense.” Zoe does not look convinced. “Oh, really? Then what are these holy rings made of?” She needles.“W-why, only the highest grade Gold Chrome Digizoid, of course!” The shopkeep’s sputterings aren’t very convincing.After a little more of this, you decide to step in.“Zoe, what’re you looking at?” You ask, making sure to sound as cheerful as possible. Your friend waves the ring in her hand.“These things are supposed to be, like, anti-dead zone charms. I thought it might be useful to have one, but not only is the price too much, I don’t even think they’re real anymore.” She tosses the ring to you, and you’re surprised at how light it is. You’d imagined a metal ring this big would weigh at least a few pounds, but it feels more like one.“Yeah, I don’t think it’s worth your time,” You agree, placing the ring back on the table. The pumpkin looks angry at that, but you don’t pay him any mind. Instead, your eyes are drawn to…

>>30423770[x] a small box, sealed tight with ropeI'm betting 5 sheckels that there's another box whose contents will be revealed after x number of posts.
>>30423770>>[] a small box, sealed tight with ropewhat's in the box what's in the box what's in the box WHAT'S IN THE BOX
>>30423770>A necklace with a golden bullet on itLet's be honest here, Sally would look awesome with some extra Bling.
>>30423917But Anon. The box could be ANYTHING! It could even be the one item we need for her to digivolve. EVEN COULD BE A SPARE DIGIVICE
>>30423965The digivolutions are locked, one of the items is a key, it's also the most unassuming, which means that if it's not that then it's probably the most OP, or at least the most esoteric.
>>30423965>...SPARE DIGIVICE!Oh god damn it. Not changing my vote, but if it turns out we passed that up I'm going to be kicking myself for awhile.

>>30424136I'd like to examine the key as well?
>>30424136/tg/ can never resist the mystery box, ever.
>>30424268almost makes me regret making it a box. Alas, it cannot be stopped now.
>>30424294I just hope you didn't mean a "literal key" to unlock the new evolution.
>>30424294Really? The choices were "barrier", "ranged weapon", "storage locker" and "a key" right?
>>30424514...I don't recall saying those things.>[] a small box, sealed tight with ropeIt’s a fairly innocent-looking thing- about the same as a mid-sized jewelry box, but with none of the softness of one. Instead, its corners are straight, and there’s no slope to it. The box itself is heavier than it looks, and there’s no hinge to be seen. The rope tying it shut is old, very old, but still strong. It smells faintly of...wine and smoke. You’re not sure what to think about that. You shake it very faintly, but hear nothing moving around inside. It’s almost as if it were a solid block of wood. You’d believe that, too, if it weren’t for the weight.The shopkeeper sidles up to you, his eyes narrowed slyly.“Aahh, it seems you have taken an interest in one of my trinkets, outsider. Whatever happened to ‘not being worth your time,’ hm?” When you look his way, he leans on the counter, as if he were telling you a secret. “Now, normally, I wouldn’t bother to do business with someone so rude, but it’s not often outsiders come to my shop, much less with so many things they could trade. So, the box is yours if you can give me something I’ve never seen before. It's the deal I make with everyone when they look at this box.” >your bags have been depleted some since your adventure began, but you’ve still got some food, a few tools (a utility knife, a compass, a small lamp, your watch, and your actual cell phone), a length of rope, and your tent packed away in your bag. >You don’t know what’s in Zoe’s, and you have no idea what’s in Daniil or Niklas’ bags.>what will you trade? Will you make a counteroffer? Will you look at something else?
>>30424700Check the key as well?
>>30424700Does the compass even work in the Digital World?
>>30424700The watch is digital or analogue? Either way that's my only offer.
>>30424700Check the other objects in order.
>>30424700Trade the cell phone, we don't have a charger, I doubt there's outlets, and if I remember from tamers electronics don't work in the digital world.
>>30424700CHECK THE OTHER ITEMSHOLY SHIT GUYS
>>30424978Sure.
>>30424978But the box calls us anon.
>>30424978Yeahh...>>30424700>something I’ve never seen beforeseriously? Just toss him some unique food, some local snack food or something.Although I suppose with the stereotypical american house, there's not a lot of unique foods on hand.
>check out the other itemsThe key, too, is remarkably heavy. It looks like iron, but feels more solid, heavier than that. You guess it's made of a metal only found here. There's a slight veneer of rust over it, but that rubs off easily enough. The key's teeth are small, but oddly shaped, and the ring and shape of the key reminds of something, but what of, you can't be sure. "Ah, now that key," The shopkeeper says, "That key's no good. Haven't been able to find anything it unlocks in all the cycles I've had it. But that doesn't mean I'll part with it easily; who knows what it could open, eh?" "You'll need to trade for that too, though the deal with the box doesn't apply here."The mirror is small- about the size of your hand, and undecorated for the most part. The only thing you can really pick out on it is the triangles on the back: three arranged in a circle around a fourth, with the points touching. The glass is old and scratched, but serviceable, you're sure. The metal surrounding the mirror is a dull gray- probably once silver or white, and scuffed in several places. It's a miracle you were able to make out that symbol in the first place. "Picked that up a couple cycles ago," The shopkeep says dismissively. "I'll trade for it, but there's not much use to it, is there?"The bullet isn't pierced through like some you've seen- instead, the cord of the necklace is woven around the cartridge, allowing you to inspect the back...To discover that the round is in fact still live. You're not sure what to think of that. Along the sides of the casing and around the bullet's rim are those same letters... letters you now have the translation key to, thanks to Daniil.Upon a closer inspection, you're able to make out "O L A" On the bullet itself, but can't read what's on the casing right now. You'd need a magnifying glass to figure that out."Oh, you like that? Perhaps something for the girl with the good taste?">What will you do?
>>30425306The mirror has the Digital Hazard symbol on it. Not sure what to make of that other than it has the potential to threaten the entire existence of the Digital World. But then again, that's already happening.Not exactly sure what O L A mean, but I'm pretty rusty on my Digital knowledge.I want the mirror. Give him the compass.
>>30425306Pull out food, knife, compass, but don't mention what any of them are. See if he likes them.some exotic food should do for the mystery box, and the digivice+digimon eliminates the need for the knife and compass.I'll go for the box if we can get it with exotic food, and the mirror. Bullet comes last.
>>30425306I'm betting that bullet unlocks Beelstarrmon.And that symbol on the mirror... could it be?
>>30425440>I'm betting that bullet unlocks Beelstarrmon.That's probably a safe bet. Meaning the mirror probably unlocks an evolution as well. But the Digital Hazard symbol is kinda turning me off to that.
>>30425483I kind of want the key, since it has its own picture.
>>30425495now that you mention it...just what kind of metal is it?
>>30425391>>30425392So it seems we're going to try >compass for mirror>rare food for box>>30425495they all have their own pictures, actually.
>>30425495We can get multiple things as >>30425392said. Digivice has a map. Renders the compass useless
>>30425523Watch for necklaceAlso forgive the stupid but who's beelstarrmon
>>30425523I still want the bullet too, I'm just pretty sure that it doesn't have enough support to go through.
>>30425523He has a good point about us not exactly needing a compass.But I don't really want the mirror. To be honest, that'd be at the bottom of the list.Digital Hazard is bad news.
>>30425557>beelstarrmonI don't blame you for not knowing. It's a new evolution from a new movie that's coming out
>>30425576...I really want that bullet now. For reasons.
>>30425523I'd rather try compass for key.
>>30425637Giving up on Lillithmon already?
gibe keygibe mirrorgibe boxplstradeknifecompassfoodthx
>>30425678Oh, it was Minervamon for me. Lilithmon's the death-by-rot-right-hand right?
>>30425523Our watch for the bullet.
>>30425731>Lilithmon's the death-by-rot-right-hand right?Yeah. I'm sure she can turn it off, though. Maybe.
>>30425731It's a gauntlet, not her hand.And so far it seems that the mirror, box, and bullet are what we want most.
>>30425857Who wants the mirror?You don't mess with the Digital Hazard.
>>30425877I want the mirror
>>30425881Why?No way it leads to anything good.
>>30425877I do, because all the plot hooks.
>>30425911And you don't want the magic key to open a magic door?
>>30425924"Magic Door"
>mirror>box>necklaceReaching into your own bag, you pull out a handful of things you think would be worth a trade, laying them out on the counter one by one, watching the shopkeep’s reaction. First, you put down a utility knife, only to be met with a shrug. Next, a compass, which his eyes follow, clearly having never seen something like this before, but trying to hide it, and then… a snickers candybar you brought along. The merchant looks at the three items, before picking up the snickers, sniffing it….somehow. How does a pumpkin smell a snickers? Well, he seems to like it, so you pick up the box.“This,” You point to the chocolate. “For that?” The shopkeep sniffs it again, before nodding.“Just tell me what THIS is, why don’t you?” He pokes at the wrapper’s tabs curiously.“It’s food. A delicacy, actually. Very, very hard to get ahold of out here.” You say, grinning as his eyes widen. Hook, line, and sinker.“Deal! And that,” He points to the compass. “What’s that do?”“Well, it’s supposed to point a certain direction no matter where you are,” You explain, spinning the small metal disc around. “But I can’t guarantee its usefulness here. Still, it’d be enough for the mirror, I think…” You trail off, letting him think about it.“Well, this IS in better condition than what you want to trade for… and it’s nice and shiny...you have a deal.” You smile victoriously as you put the two items into your bag, where you happen upon something else.
>>30425958Your old watch. You must have forgotten to take it out some time ago. It’s still running, even. Well, it’s worth a shot…“What will you trade for this?” You ask, and the shopkeeper hums to himself in thought.“I would part with the key or the necklace,” He says, finally, “But only one of them for that.”You pause and think as well, before settling on the bullet.“A wise decision,” The talking pumpkin says, gathering up the items you gave him. “We should do business another time.”Well, now that you’ve traded for some rather interesting items, what will you do now?>[] check on sally>[] look around the other side of the big tent>[] check on daniil and niklas>[] hang out with Zoe some more>[] other?
>>30425894I'd rather a deadly super dangerous artifact be in our hands than in the hands of someone who wants it for malicious purposes.

>>30425981>>[] hang out with Zoe some moreLet's hang around with her before the inevitable "everyone got split up from each other" arc.
Actually, it's getting late, and we've made some very good progress today/tonight.If the thread's still alive tomorrow, then I'll continue from there, but if not, we'll have to see.Until then, I'd like to put it on hold, if that's alright.
>>30426181Do what ya gotta do OP. Good might and hopefully I'll catch you tomorrow.
>>30426181Yeah alright.
So I wonder if Gokuwmon is traveling with the other Journey to the West Digimon.There's Sanzomon, this guy, and I think some kind of pig maybe?
>>30426181I should lurk less and vote more but good thread Gale
>>30426377Also, do these guys count as unique existences?
>>30426433I think this is the fourth member.
>>30426433>>30426509>>30426377just popping back in, but yes. All of the Journey to the West digimon are unique existences.
>>30426377>>30426433>>30426509So yeah, hope we see the rest of these guys.
>>30426629What about this guy?
>>30426739Also that raises a certain question.
>>30425958gah, i had to leave. At this point, I'm wondering if Zoe has anything to trade for the key.Those holy rings, while generally useful, are doubtful in use against dead zones. They're also far too highly valued among digimon to be traded for.We might want to get them for keeping corruption within our chosen in check, though.
>>30426767To be fair, weregururumon->metalgururumon had a pretty similar change.
>>30428860I was referring more to the puppet thing was Champion/Adult, whilst the giant robot was Mega/Ultimate, the question mark being the Ultimate/Perfect stage, which normally would be Shawujinmon, but that doesn't seem to be applicable.
>>30429048what if there is one particular shawuijinmon that's THE shawujinmon?Like, ther are other, but this one is THE Journey to the West one?
>>30429048Well since the puppet has a cd on it's head, I guess the cloth bits are supposed to slowly get replaced with metal.
>>30426739>>30426377so how do those revolver cylinders work?
>>30425981I still want that key.
>>30431920we can try to get it with some of Zoe's stuff I suppose.
New plan guys, we need to evolve Aslan into a BanchoLeomon.
Goddammit captcha, why does it take so many tries to get a non-number related thing I have to write down?>>30433249I approve of this plan.
Wish I could have written in earlier. Still, you can't bluff a bluffer (bar the candybar). Hope we see him again. Pumpkimon is one of my faves.>[] check on sally
I would also like to check on Sally, if possible.
Bump, since it should hopefully continue soon.
Gale should be coming back soon.I think check on sally has the most votes?
>>30425981>>[X] check on sallyMight as well vote while waiting.
>>30437956it would appear so!Sorry I'm late, guys. I had a couple jobs I needed to do. I'm here now, and we can continue.I'll get to writing now, if there are no other suggestions before we begin?Also, I expect only a few updates will be done today.When the thread dies, I don't believe I'll be making another.
>>30439046still voting to check if Zoe has anything for the key.
>>30439312If Zoe trades her stuff for it, then / she/ owns it. Any idea what the key could unlock for Leomon?
>>30439591There's nothing wrong with her owning it. Besides, we've got Daniil and Impmon. Giving Impmon the bullet should always be an option.
>[] check up on on SallyWith your newest purchases tucked away safely in your bag, you decide to head back to where you saw Sally last, hanging above a large crowd. By the looks of things, the crowd has doubled in size since you last looked, and Sally’s had to float even higher to get a proper look. As you approach, the noise of the gaggle grows louder and louder, until you can barely hear anything. You wave up at your partner to get her attention, and it’s with an amused smirk that she hovers down to your level.“A bit noisy, isn’t it?” She calls out, and you’re forced to agree by the fact that she had to shout in the first place. Your partner pats the broomstick with one of her hands, motioning for you to sit on it next to her. You’re unsure just how she intends for you to stay on, but do so anyway, only to find her hand supporting your back. So long as she doesn’t jostle too much, you’ll be able to stay on just fine.Slowly, her broom moves upwards, allowing you to see over all the heads and…“Are they...gambling?” You ask incredulously. Sally just shrugs.“I think so? They were doing something else when we first got here, but whatever it was, they’ve moved on to this. And it’s apparently really popular.” And so it would seem- you estimate there’s about fifty digimon all told around the four in the center, who are doing something with dice of some kind.“Does it interest you?” You ask, and again, your partner shrugs.“Not particularly. It’s just more interesting than what Zoe and Aslan wanted to do. Why do you ask?”>[] no reason, really>[] you looked like you wanted to try>[] do you not like hanging out with Zoe?>[] other?
>>30439591What would the key unlock for anyone, actually?Assuming it's even related to digivolution and not an actual key to something or somewhere. It could even unlock a mystery box!
>>30439633I'd rather give Sally the bullet on the off chance Gale will allow the unlock of BeelStarrMon.
>>30439653Some small talk first.> Do you know how to play it?(chance to win some moola or the locals favor might be useful. "If I win this round, you tell me everything/escort us to X")Then ask how she feels about Zoe. If there's friction between them, we need to nip it in the bud.Maybe ask her about the stuff we picked up from the market later
>>30439653>[] you looked interested, but watching is fine.>[] do you not like hanging out with Zoe and Aslan?>[] want to check out the rest of the camp?>>30439654A key for the mystery puzzle box? Unlikely.
>>30439653>>[] do you not like hanging out with Zoe?
>>30439653>>[] you looked like you wanted to tryDamnit Sally don't you start gambling now
>>30439729Aside from our purchases do we really have anything disposable left to gamble with?
>>30439653Add>[]Talk to someone about getting a tent/trailer for our stay here.Because we're going to need to sleep somewhere.
>>30439653>>30439795The knife. I personally think It'll be boring, though, and vote to let Sally try her luck using the knife as an initial bet.
>>30439852Place to pitch our tent is what I meant. Sorry, distracted over here.
>>30439866*while we go off and do something else, or timeskip.
>>30439729Supporting this.
>>30439866I can easily see Sally losing her temper if she starts losing. I guess we're done in this area so we can stand to be driven out, right?
>[] you looked like you wanted to try>[] do you not like spending time with Zoe?“You just looked like you wanted to try, is all.” She shakes her head.“No, I don’t know the rules, not from what I’ve seen. It looks a little more complex than first meets the eye, too, and I don’t want to just jump into that. I’m sure from the ground it looks easy, but up here, I can see what their hands are doing. They’re good.” She sighs, and leans against you slightly. “Just watching is fine, for now.” You nod, impressed with her assessment. Indeed, the game is rather fast moving, and you can’t imagine Sally winning a game on her first try, and with nothing to bet, anyway.It might be useful to try and learn later, though you keep that to yourself.“But what’s this about Zoe?” You ask next. “Do you not enjoy spending time with her?” Your partner doesn’t say anything at first, just frowns.“...It’s not that I don’t. I just don’t think she likes me very much. I told her our first night here I wanted to be friends, but I don’t think she’s as willing as I am. And…” She sneaks a look at you. “...I don’t enjoy spending time with her as much as I do with you.”>[] Free response
>>30440496[x] Blush - because we're still a young man with a pretty girl next to us
>>30440496"I'm your partner. I would be surprised if you didn't"I also didn't know the thread was still going.
>>30440496I say we hug Sally.I say we hug Sally right now.
>>30440554>>30440574>>30440583Combine these?
>>30440554>>30440583Blush and hugs.ALso she's wearing the blouse right now right?
I think We're gonna unlock a different champion at this rate.
>>30440554This. Blush like a little girl.
>>30440647>>30440554>>30440574>>30440583>>30440643Why is Wayne so moe?
>>30440554This. D'aww.
>>30440659He could also go tsundere and call her a baka for added moe, but it might be too late for that route.It doesn't even fit with the setting and characterization so far, but damn, I can't picture a silent blush
>>30440714Tsundere's are trash and so are you for making that horrible suggestion.
>>30440714Just like with yandere, the best Tsunderes are the subtle ones, anon. Saying baka and insisting you don't love someone isn't all that cute.Besides, straight-up Dere and Kuudere are best.
>>30440819>Besides, straight-up Dere and Kuudere are best.I knew it. I KNEW you were something special
>>30440731Not all tsunderes are bad, faggot.Now let's stop this from turning into a -dere discussion unrelated to the thread
And autosage is starting.Well I think we've got a proper choice of what to go with now.
>>30440819Bad Gale! No Magical realms!
>>30440659Mostly because he's always so serious - and Sally does have some ideas of what buttons to hit.
>>30440819I'd follow a quest with all those archetypes if you wrote it.
>>30441043Gale Quest, let's all enter his Magical realm.
>>30441117DO I DARE?
>>30441128I know I do.
>>30440643If she is we need to find a way of slipping the necklace onto her without falling off the broom.
>>30441280She could straddle us...
>>30441616I think that comes after giving her the necklace.Also, isn't her harness locked into the broom right now?
>So it turns out I do not have as much time as I thought I did, but I'll leave you guys with a little more than I think you thought you were getting.>[] blush madly>[] HugsYou can feel the blood rushing to your face as Sally leans further into your shoulder. You’ve known how highly she thinks of you for a while, though whether it’s her opinion of you as her partner or as ‘Wayne’, you don’t know. Regardless, her words stir up emotions within you that five days ago would have bewildered you. Now, though…“I’m...glad you feel that way.” You mutter, somewhat abashed by her attention. “Though I’d be a little hurt if you didn’t.” Slowly, so as not to fall off, you slip an arm around your partner’s waist, pulling her closer. She sighs happily, eyes closing, and rests her head at the crook of your neck. The tingling feeling of her breath on your skin sends a shiver down your spine. You’re sure she knows just what she’s doing, and if she doesn’t...well, that’s even worse, you imagine.You remain like that for at least ten minutes, your mind no longer on the gamblers below, only on the ...girl next to you.Since when did Sally become a girl to you? Since when did she stop being a Digimon?When did you start to fall in love?[Digimon Quest: to be continued next week.]
>>30441699>When did you start to fall in love?OH FUCKTHIS IS IT SON
>>30441699D'aww!Thanks for running Gale! See you next week.
>>30441699Here we go
>>30441699>When did you start to fall in love?Haha, yesss...>>30441685Looks like straddling might happen sooner rather than later
>>30441699>Since when did Sally become a girl to you? Since when did she stop being a Digimon?>When did you start to fall in love?I am pleased with what we get.Thank you Gale, and have a good weekend.
>>30441699>When did you start to fall in love?Well, this is quite something.Have a nice week, Gale.
So question. Later on Wayne in Sally have a relationship, then due to Battle gets knocked back down to rookie. Girl he loves is now a dog, how does Wayne feel?
>>30442313Give her food and she evolves back - we only need to unlock her evolutions once to be able to handle it.
>>30441784Lilithmon always gets what she wants.
>>30441699Hey Gale, I don't really expect you to see this before fall off, but just incase are we locked into a crest yet? I mean, Lilithmon would require (I think) Lust, but I'm kind of hoping we snag Greed instead of Impmon.
>>30443829I pop back in every now and again, and I'd like to point out that Wayne and Sally, as well as every pair so far, have different crests attributed to them.Wayne's is an unknown, and Sally's is Temptation.Temptation can mean a lot of things.Likewise, Daniil is Loyalty, and Impmon is Indulgence, which could also mean any number of things.And nothing is quite concrete yet as to what exactly they DO mean.
>>30444082Fair enough. Didn't realize "Associated Attribute" corresponded to one's crest. And now that I'm looking at the character sheet I'm seeing all kinds of probably nonexistent ties to Pride and Gluttony (which I meant to say instead of Greed...whoops) in addition to Lust. Man it's going to be fun to see how this all plays out, regardless of which path we end up taking.
