Well welcome to teh Digital World. a world made entirely of data. Trees, plants, indigenous species, and even you while you're here are made of bits, bytes, kilobytes, etc. Anything else you need to know you can ask me.

Thanks for the help. Though I might get distracted, what with chewing out my baka friend and dealing with the pink furball of a partner.

Don't you dare tell people that I'm a pink Gaomon!

... you just did that all on your own. :)

....DAMNIT!!!

P-pink? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Terriermon knock that off.

You dumb bunny! Where are you! You laugh again and I swear I'll kick you in the... no let go! I want to tell that rotten rabbit off...

Kami-sama. Can you be anymore pissed off?

Digimon with better color schemes than you have tried and failed Pinky.

I am really sorry about him.

You funny bunny! I'm going to grab you by your ears when I find you and then you'll wish I never had!

I actually pity you.

I've heard better comebacks from a Numemon!

Yeah...

I wish Lopmon hadn't gone to bed. He can usually keep Terriermon semi-balanced.

What's a Lopmon?

It's basically a chocolate colored version of the same annoying digimon, only usually a Lopmon ISN'T annoying.

Greeeeeeeeeeat. Now I gotta deal with practical joking easter bunnies. Kami-sama must love to make my life chaotic.

Apparently people have been doing these introductions for new Tamers, so here's my shot-welcome to the Digital World...

(does a double take 1/2 a second later) ...Tatsuki?!! When the hell did you get here?!

How do you know her, Ichigo? Is she your...?

...HELL NO! We're just friends from back in the day! (shoves a piece of chocolate into Agumon's mouth)

If you're planning on entering the FAQ squad you're going to have to be a bit quicker than that.

...Wallace, right? You're not the one who just found out a good friend of his was pulled here by mistake! What the hell is the FAQ squad anyway?

No one gets pulled here by mistake.

And we're a group of Tmaer who're either generally considered fairly smart or have a ton of experience with the Digital World. We try to answer the most Frequently Asked Questions, like where am I, what's this thing that's following, why the hell am I here, thus we're called the FAQ Squad. And we kinda have a competition going to see who can tag the most newbies first.

....

....

Hey Tatsuki what are you doing. If you don't get your lazy ass...*thud*

BAKAMONO! ICHIGO! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!!! DIDN'T YOU GO OUT TO THAT OTHER PLACE TO GET ORIHIME WITH CHAD AND ISHIDA THANKS TO THAT SANDAL-HAT GUY!?!

I just asked you that question! And for your information, I'd already found Inoue and we were gonna get back home when I got pulled into another fight, then found myself here...hold up.

How do you know about Urahara anyway? Did you follow me that night?!!

You are such a baka you know that! Did you REALLY think I was goign to let it drop! Do you think so little of me that you told KEIGO of all people to TAKE CARE of me!?!

...

Wait. You GOT Hime... then where the hell is she?!

You obviously weren't listening to me a second ago-I said I'd saved her, got pulled into a fight, had to get healed up and then got pulled here! (sighs) She's still back there.

...I was going to apologize for that when I got back with Inoue.

... how the hell does that happen! Damn it!

... you realize I'm NOT accepting it yet. You think it's a MISTAKE that I'm here? Everyone where, according the furball, is brought here for a reason, so as much as I might not have what you got... but I'll be damned if I don't find a way to become stronger through this!

(sighs) Whether you accept it or not, that's your business. You can track me with that map section on your D-Comm; I found a place in Tetha-it's a floating city, so don't get too freaked out when you see it.

I didn't mean it like that; I know you can handle yourself, but from what I was told about these Demon Lords...they're twice as worse than your common everyday bully. (frowns)

Oh and how do I manage to get... hey what are you...

Hey kid. You did get to the lightpost right?

Ha-I wish. When I first got here, I was at the edge of the city! My partner didn't even let me know where I was at until it was almost too late!

I said I would've called a doctor!

A doctor couldn't have made his way down to wherever I'd been at in time unless he had one of these! (holds up D-Comm) Where are you at? Maybe I can make my way there.

No. Now listen to me. I want you to go the lightpost in Tetha and then I want you to transfer to us the lightpost data.

And this does what for us?

As soon as he gives it to us, and we get to the lightpost here in the forest, we can just teleport directly to Tetha.

Kon would never let me live this down...! Fine; we'll get there soon enough. Let's get going, Agumon!

[locked]

Who is Kon and WHAT would he never let you live down?

...Dammit, I forgot to lock that last comment!

[Locked]

...That's a nickname for my dad! Sometimes when he gets Karin real upset she calls him Kon.

(OOC: Strike unreadable.)

... you do understand if you CONTINUE to lie and keep secrets from me, I am going to kill you.

You DO realize that don't you Ichigo-baka?

...Like I don't hear threats like that from Rukia already!

(sighs irritably) Fine, but not here! Make your way to the lightpost, and be ready to get that data.

Found the thing. Ready when you are Ichigo.

That's another one. I think for some of us, the Digital World gives us a second chance when we couldn't help our friends. Anyway, my name is Rose. Fair warning: make sure your partner doesn't try and sign you up for anything like a beauty pageant behind your back.

... Beauty pageant?

I'd rather be deleted than be caught dead with a Tamer involved in such a thing.

Well what do you know, we found SOME common ground.

Anyway, guessing you didn't get a chance to help your friend by the sound of things.

No, not exactly. But by coming here, I was saved from making a really difficult choice, so I'm grateful for that at least, even though I hope things work out for my friends back home.

Good luck on that front. Me, I gotta find a way to get strong enough to be of use against all the freaky ghosts and Hollows.

I hate feeling so useless, especially when I used to be the one protecting Orihime and Ichigo.

Save the world is a common denominator for most people here. Kira Ford.

And I'm Armadimon. Nice to meet you.

Probably someone'll be along shortly to bring you to Tetha. There's a big party here. I'm not hard to miss since I wear yellow.

I should take it then you've saved the world then? Do you have special powers or something? All I can do is see ghosts and can kick ass thanks to my martial arts training... though some how I doubt its going to be of much use against giant digimon.

I was pretty normal till I got a Dino Gem dropped in my lap. Other than that, it's been a wild ride.

And yeah, I have a special power called a Pterra Scream, or at least that's what we've called it. It's pretty much a sonic burst. Leaves my throat horribly scratchy when I use it.

Huh. I don't suppose you henshined then into some sort of Super Sentai hero like the Abarangers on TV... curse Orihime for making me watch Super Hero Time on Sundays with her...

Although Kamen Rider isn't that bad really.

O.o You have Abaranger in your world too? They were based on US!

[private reply to Tatsuki]
Wasn't too sure if I should say anything but I'm Kira Ford, Yellow Pterano Ranger of the Dino Thunder Team out of Reefside. Which means I'm a transforming Sentai Hero.

Most of us Rangers are keeping a small lid on this, but I figure you know enough of Abaranger for me to talk to you about it. Although Abaranger is pretty different from the things we fight.

[private reply to Kira]

... holy shit.

Orihime would SERIOUSLY hug you all until you stopped breathing if she saw you henshin. Swear to Kami-sama. She's like that with cute things.

Yeah, Hime had me watch the entire series, and guessing you had different villains then?

And when Aba ended Hime made me watch Dekaranger, Magiranger, Boukenger (which I didn't like too much) and started watching Gekiranger a few months ago (which with its martial arts stuff I actually liked most).

You know I think they actually make tv series in America, using the footage from super sentai. Only thing I know is that every series is called Power Rangers Something.

... do you ever feel like you're really out of your league. I mean felt like you were just SO out of your league and hated not being able to do a damn thing?

[private reply to Tatsuki]

Oh completely. Every ranger team feels like it before and after powers and there's the odd coincidence that our powers are severed from the morphin grid and then we subsequently feel useless when new rangers show up to take our place, even temporarily.

And we ARE Power Rangers, just fyi -- PR Dino Thunder. Those other shows made it into Super Sentai back home, although I didn't pay much attention to them until Ethan stumbled on it back home. We then watch it every time we get the chance even though we've moved on from being rangers mostly. Apparently someone managed to get the Super Sentai license back in Japan and develops television shows based on us. The most EERIE thing about Abaranger was that they somehow hit our Morphing Call on the forehead. Hayley must have made them change it immediately since that show never appeared again in the original context.

Yeah, we had different enemies. Our enemy was a whackjob mad scientist-dinosaur who did evil biological experiments, wanted to revert the world to a Creatacious period and pretty much screw over humanity. His name was Mesogog and he was something of an insane dino-raptor-whatever. He was also half-human so kudos to the trope being kicked in the butt.

Don't tell Ethan or Conner if you see them, but I had my powers back before they did.

Ever wonder why it's the other way around for everyone else but us? Show-wise I mean.

[private reply to Kira]

Yeah well, at least you have your powers. Like I said before, all I got is seeing ghosts and got a pink Gaomon, other than that and being a martial artist I got nothing... which really sucks. Everyone else I know, the ones that I know can handle themselves normally, has got special powers, yet I don't.

I just... I just can't stand being so useless! I want to do something to help my friends and yet I'm here... though in a way its okay, seeing as I wasn't doing anything except waiting back home. Maybe I'll pick up something here that will help me out for when I get home.

Speaking of my friends, one of them, Ichigo, bakamono that he is for not telling me shit, was going into this evil place to get Orihime back. He said he did... till he got pulled here. Now I ask you, what kind of kami does that? SERIOUSLY!

...damn. That's rather original. Usually Super Sentai have world conquering sickos, not world destroying sickos.

Hey I won't. Not a problem. Sides I've never even met them... yet anyway.

Yeah I get what you mean show wise, though I'm beginning to wonder if I'M an Anime Character in your world. There isn't a show about Shinigami, Hollows, Soul Society, or a 15 year old kid named Kurosaki Ichigo is there?

What's the current top anime in your world. Right now its Naruto Shippuden over here. Or you don't watch Anime?

I haven't quite gotten around to absorbing more Japanese culture since High School. I've been picked up by a record label and I was going to do a single to promote my first album when I got pulled into this world.

I wouldn't be surprised if the old Trans-Fictional Theory got in our way. It happens too much.
