[IC] Digimon Adventure Redux

[Rin]

Was it a dream? There was no way this could be real... Just moments ago, the world had seemed normal, and then everything went blurry. It was like being caught in a whirlpool of light and colour, and into this whirlpool they found themselves sucked down, a group of kids from across the world chosen seemingly at random...

Mayu Ryusei - Jaypeg Forest

With a quiet groan, Mayu slowly opened her eyes. She had no idea what had happened, but whatever it was she'd ended up lying down in a strange forest, underneath a tree that seemed to be bearing a sizable amount of fruit. As the sleep gradually began fading away and her vision became less blurry, she realized that the "fruit" was in fact several juicy looking sirloin steaks hanging from the branches.

"Am I... Still sleeping?" It wasn't exactly farfetched, really. Since between the steak tree, the bush that seemed to be covered in cooked chicken legs and the statue of a dinosaur made of giant Lego bricks standing nearby it, it was easy to believe this was all a dream.

"Nope, you're as awake as I am!" A voice called out from nearby. Unable to see anyone, though, Mayu simple looked about in confusion. "Hey, over here!" It called out again, and Mayu suddenly realized that... No, that was just silly. This was definitely a dream. It seemed to be coming from the Lego dinosaur...

"Huh... Huh." Getting to her feet, she walked closer to the plastic creature, and gently poked its nose. When it seemed to giggle and shake from this, she suddenly lept back and shrieked. "Wah... Wah! This is just a dream, r-right? This can't be real right?"

"Aaaaah! Don't yell like that so close to me!" The plastic dinosaur lowered its head, hugging its knees as its entire body trembled. "D-don't... Don't scare me like that! I... I'm s-supposed to be your p-p-partner and you c-can't go around yelling and scaring your partner l-like that!"

"P-partner? Wh-what...?"

Mayu could only stare blankly at the plastic dinosaur as it finally stopped trembling and extended a blocky paw.

"I'm ToyAgumon! Pleased to meet you!"

"I, um..." Unable to figure out the proper response to such a situation, Mayu could only take the paw and give it a shake in utter confusion. "Um, well, um.... I'm Mayu... Mayu Ryusei, um..."

The awkwardness between the two was quickly broken as they suddenly heard voices from elsewhere in the strange meat forest. Wherever they were, they were not alone...

There were several reasons that made today shoot to the top of Nathan's 'Weirdest day ever' list.

The first one, involved him waking up in a forest. This in itself was strange, since not only did he live in the middle of an urban city, in a country not exactly known for its lush jungles, but he sure as hell did not go to sleep in a forest. So he was either kidnapped, fell into a wormhole, dreaming, or hallucinating. None of which were much too ideal.

Secondly, this forest was just plain strange. He had literally just pulled a chunk of ham from the branches overhead, and Nathan really had no idea how to process that. Eating it was out of the question, definitely, but still, huh?!

Thirdly, his phone was messing with him.

"Thank you for taking the time to dial all of those numbers," his phone intoned, "unfortunately, your efforts were all for naught, as there is no one with this number in existence."

So my contacts list is out... the young lad frowned, trying his various saved numbers, with much of the same results. Tat was problematic. Even more so was the lack of internet access. That was going to mess up his schedule for his online games.

Something tapped his leg, causing Nathan to jump back with alarm and look at the source. It was... he honestly had no idea. a knee-high person wearing Japanese armour? It even had a wooden sword.

"My apologies for startling you, good sir," the thing bowed slightly, speaking in a high-pitched voice, almost like a child's, "I am Kotemon. We are destined to be partners, so I hope we can get along."

Nathan, of course, had several questions about this. It was difficult to decide whic held the most importance, and after a few moments of dazed contemplation, he simply asked, "What are you?"

"Me, I am a Digimon," the Kotemon replied, "It is short for 'Digital Monster'."

Ah, of course it was. Well, that was all Nathan needed to here. At the speed of a rather brisk walk, and definitely not a sprint in the opposite direction, Nathan walked away from the monster, in search of someone human.

...Oh god it was following him!

"Oi oi oi..." over one shoulder, the girl rested an aluminum baseball bat. These surroundings were just plan ridiculous. Tokyo did not have rainforests, especially not Shibuya. And real rainforests tended not to have meat hanging from the trees, even if the meet looked inexplicably delicious for the fact that it was hanging off of the tree like some kind of fruit. Someone was screwing with her, though.

Shirai Akane did not take kindly to people who screwed with her.

"I dunno what's going on," she began, transferring her bat from her shoulder to rest the tip against the ground, glaring at her bizarre surroundings. Seriously, who the hell came up with this kind of nonsense? "But I'm getting more and more ticked off by the second. It can't be helped if I break a few bones if I've gotta find you myself, you hear?"

There was no response. Well, unless you counted the wind and stuff like that. Or whatever the hell else was in the forest. Akane narrowed her eyes in irritation. Who could even do crap like this? It wasn't like she got knocked out or anything. Was it Suehara? That girl...! If she was behind it, that bi-

As Akane's thoughts trailed off into extremely foul territory, she failed to notice the rustling sound from behind her. Well, at least at first, after a few moments her head snapped around and she turned entirely to see a... a...

A sister. The sister smiled brightly at her and waved to her. Well this was really damn surreal. Akane stared blankly for a few moments before finally speaking her mind.

"Who the hell are you?" she asked, resting her bat back on her shoulder.

"I'm your partner!" the sister said in a cheerful voice, running right up to her and leaning forward slightly. "I'm Sistermon! It's really nice to meet you!"

"... Sistermon," Akane said flatly, inclining her head slightly to one side. "... Okay, so I'm in some weird as hell forest of meat with a crazy cosplayer. At least the cosplayer's a cute chick dressed as a sister but this is just pissing me off! It's like the fever dreams of some starving pervert."

The nun tilted her head. "What's cosplay?"

"Oooh... Aaah..." The sound of someone being a stereotypical tourist rang out quietly from within the group of transported humans and digital monsters. "This is amazing... bressaola, cacciatore, capicola, pancetta, pepperoni, prosciutto..." The list of Italian meats rang on for a while as the boy adjusted his glasses and looked at the splendid specimens of processed pseudo-animal products.

[url=http://i.imgur.com/XSUzwlt.png The owner of the voice that was steadily stating the names of such cultural ingredients happened to be a slender boy wearing glasses and in apparel that depicted him as a fan of a certain series of mask wearing Japanese superheroes.[/url] Adjusting his glasses, he took an appreciative sniff and found that it was authentic as the delis he frequented, despite them growing on trees. "What is this amazing place?" It was so fascinating that he found himself unable to worry for all that long, and got caught up in the pace of the Digital World.

And then... "Salutations, my partner." Glancing around and finding no one, the half Italian boy spun around on his heels and still found nothing. "Please look downwards towards your hind limbs." Following the instructions, the K*men R*der fan found a rather cute caterpillar-esque creature. " My name is Wormmon. It is my pleasure to be able to finally greet you."

"...Cute!~" Instantly taking a liking to the fantastical talking arthropod, the blonde boy snatched up the Rookie Digimon and began to cuddle it while having a pleased expression on his face. "Fuaaaaa... You feels rather nice.~" Honestly, he looked rather like a girl gleefully cuddling a cat rather than a boy with a giant insect. "Hee... Today is a good day. And I am Souichiro Fellini! It's nice to meet you too, friend!~"

"Q-quite... Are humans incredibly sociable creatures? This experience has given me such fascinating data..." The Wormmon said with its own satisfied tone as it was able to gain insight on the race of non-Digital beings that was quite obviously socializing with him.

"Oi, wanker, wake up. OI. WAKE UP. OI!"

A black dinosaur, about shoulder-height, stood prodding an unconscious, short, black-haired boy with its foot. The dinosaur looked over at the other monsters present.

"I fink 'es dead. So do I filch the digivoyce, o'what?"
