Digimon RP, First Arc-Eternia of Sorrow

The sun shines overhead, a few clouds in the sky. A beautiful day in Kyoto.

And yet there is an ominous feeling throughout the city. A feeling of excitement, of danger, and of apprehension.

Today is the last day of school.

Agumon
You are thrown out of a blue gate, high above a grassy field. Slamming into the ground, you are disoriented. Around you is a playground of swings, slides, and even a jungle gym. A small rectangular object lies in front of you...

Everyone Else
The final bell rings. Summer Vacation at last! You grab your books, and head to your lockers. Your teacher, Ms. Okina asked that you keep a journal and write down something every day. Putting the journal into your schoolbag, you head out into the city, just as it starts to rain.

Mike scowled at the teacher as he grabbed his bag and headed out the door. Once he was out of the school, he put his headphones on, and headed to the arcade, knowing that there'd be no point in going home, because no one was there yet.

Mike

You make your way to the arcade, splashing through puddles. The rain increases on the way, and you hear thunder in the distance...

Upon reaching the arcade, you find a game or two and play away.

After wasting the better part of two hors, and five dollars on fighting and shooting games, Mike headed home, having nothing better to do, and not having money to grab lunch. (Because really, who eats school lunch if they can avoid it?)

Mike

Just as you leave the arcade, you blackout.

You awake moments later, in the middle of the arcade. No one seems to have noticed...

An old man across the arcade's counter calls you over.

"What the fuck? I could have sworn I was just leaving."

Mike gets up, dusts himself off, then checks to make sure nothing's missing.

After the check, assuming he doesn't discover anything missing, he heads over to see what the old guy wants.

"Yo?"

Mike

((I hate it when that happens.))

The old man has your journal in hand. "boy... I have something to discus with you."

"you could just walk away right now. or you could live a life of adventure, and perhaps even suvive. That is your choice."

The journal glows, turning into a small black and red rectangular device, with a grey LCD screen and two small white buttons beside it.

"Old man, you just turned my summer homework into what looks like a pocket game, and then offer me an adventure? I'll let you guess what my answer would be."

Mike

The old man stares "Sorry, I'm not aware of how humans would react to that normally."

He smiles as he motions to the device. "But take it anyways. You will need it soon, if you choose adventure. And if you do not, your homework will return to you after you make your choice, in exactly one half-hour of real time"

The old man disapears a moment later, and you are left alone in an empty arcade. Before you can react, everyone else fades back in with a staicy sound. They don't seem to have noticed anything...


Mike Gains: DIGIVICE

"This is going to be the most awesome summer ever." Mike says, taking everything that just happened into stride. "I wonder how this thing works though?" Mike asks, not really talking to anyone in particular. He starts fiddling with it, turning it over and such as he walks home.

Gozza jumps when he realizes he's been staring at wall painting for the past few hours.

he didnt remember leaving school but he had his backpack on so...

He did remember hearing Mike mention the movies after school and decided head there

Mike

As you fiddle with the device, a small light glows in the middle, followed by a constant beeping. As you walk home, you notice a timer appear under the light...

20:00

This alternates with the following message:

Chosen


Gozza

An old man at the counter offers you a free ticket to a showing, some new adventure...

Gozza looks around, not seeing his friend. He thanked the man, but said "no thank you" and turned to leave

Gozza

You turn around to see nothing there. a short distance from you, everything is pure white.

"I really think you want to see this... but if you choose to go, stay where you are. Everything will reappear in twenty real minutes, and you can live your life like any normal person. If thats what you want..."

Gozza sighed and wondered if he'd be late getting home now

He turned to the man "you were saying, sir?"

Gozza

The old man smiles, and holds up a small journal. "I beleive this is yours?"

He flips it around, and it turns into static. As he places it on the counter, it shrinks into small device, colored Black and blue. (See aboce for description)

"By the way, if you want to see that advnture; its the third to your left. Or you can go, and miss the only chance you'll have at adventure. It's all your choice."

The old man turns to static, and as he disappears the rest of the world slowly fades back in. You notice a single ticket on top of the device...

Gozza gets: DIGIVICE

Gozza had seen movie like this. They usualy ended well for people in his type of postion, which probably meant the opposite was true in real life.

But then again, you can't take to much away from what you see in the movies.

on that confusing note, Gozza took the ticket and the device, and followed the mans directions

Gozza

The screen shows nothing but a timer: 15:00, alternating between that and CHOSEN.


The small device begins to glow, and the same begins to flash.

In this empy theater is nothing but silence as the timer begins to count down...

"Huh. Maybe a watch of some kind? Well, what ever it is, it has a bitchin' color scheme. Oh shit! The movies! I forgot. Better call my parents so's they won't worry."

Mike pocketed the device and pulled out his phone to call his parents while running to the theater.

Mike

You leave a short voicemail as you run. The timer continues to count down...

As you run, a flash of static clouds your vision, and you pitch forward. All this is accompanied by a clash of thunder...

You see your fellow student Gozza as you are thrown from the silver screen into the middle of the theater.

12:00
