Character: Daimon Chika
Fandom: Digimon Savers
Player Name: Taco

[ Chika was no stranger to strange things. Her family was the epitome of strange things, and that didn't include their history with Digimon ... which wasn't nearly as strange to her. Chika had never been whisked away to another world before, however, and that ... was exactly what had happened here.

So now, Vatheon, there is a young girl standing in the plaza. She's soaking wet, standing fairly still, tiny little hands balled into fists at her sides. Chika's trying to hold it together, really, by asking herself how her family would handle this ... how her father might have handled it ... how her brother would have. They had been to a different world before. They would face anything and everything head-on, and not be afraid. Right?

And she herself had gone up, alongside her partner, against something terrifying.

Chika continued to remind herself that she shouldn't have been scared. She was a Daimon. She was strong.

... Despite the constant reassurance to herself, though, Chika was frightened. Very frightened. Her eyes welled up with tears, but she tried to hold the urge to just cry inside. ]

D-Daddy and Masaru-niichan ... wouldn't be scared. Right? Neither would Mama ...

[ She sniffles, wiping her eyes.

She was still a child, though. Who wants to help a bitty? ]

Hey.

[The voice that speaks is surprisingly gentle, and is followed by a hand holding out a fluffy blue towel for her. Sharp teeth, pointed ears and evil a black tail belonging to a teenager in a plain white button down and black slacks probably look a little scary, but Rin's expression is kind and just a little worried.

He knows people get freaked out sometimes, but kids are usually affected the worst by it, and even if she's trying to hold it together he can tell how upset she really is.]

[howagirllearns]

[ She looks up at the voice, shocked enough by the sudden voice that she didn't even bother to rub away the tears rolling down her cheeks. Chika doesn't exactly know who she can trust and who she can't, but all things considered, accepting a fluffy blue towel from a stranger can't be that bad of an idea, right?

She was on her own, now. Chika had to make her own decisions. So, with a small "thanks," she accepted the towel and wrapped it around herself. She had been so upset that she hadn't realized that she was shivering pretty badly ... ]

[keepsthefire]

You're gonna get sick if you just stand there shiverin'.

[Rin takes out another towel, putting it on her head for her wet hair.]

What's your name?

[howagirllearns]

[ Chika peeks out at Rin from underneath the towel on her head, looking him up and down as much as she can a few times. He certainly was odd-looking ... but she had seen some pretty scary-looking creatures in her lifetime, and Rin was nothing compared to them. Plus, he seemed to be genuinely interested in her well-being ... ]

Chika. What's yours?

[keepsthefire]

[He's kind of a gentle giant in that sense.]

Rin.

[He smiles a little, reaching up to help her dry her hair off.]

I know it's probably kinda scary for you right now, but I'm used to helpin' out new people here.

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo would usually be on his way to the bar, instead he spots a little girl crying in the plaza and approaches her slowly.]

Well well, what have we here? A crying little lady? That won't do.

[howagirllearns]

[ Oh, no. Nonono. No, Stop crying, Chika. You can cry later. Chika furiously rubs at her face, trying to rub away the tears. ]

M'not crying ...

[beauchevalier]

[Standing in front of her and getting down on one knee, he can see the worry in her eyes. It's not unusual for children to be upset in a new land without their parents, he's seen it before back home with orphans. Nevertheless, his smile and tone of voice are gentle.]

It's all right to cry, there's no shame in doing it. How about I get you a towel and then perhaps we can have our introductions.

[howagirllearns]

[ Well ... he seems nice enough. And Chika doesn't exactly have anyone else to trust in this place. So, she nods, accepting his offer for a towel. ]

Thank you ...

[beauchevalier]

[Standing back up, he holds out a hand for her to take and acknowledges her thanks.]

It's not a problem. Oh and the name's Angelo. What is yours, my little lady?

[martelapproves]

[ Help one? Maybe. Who knows. Right now, he's seated nearby. It's that time of the month, after all, when new people were supposed to start showing up. Maybe this month... maybe she'll come. After all, it was the only thing keeping him going. Being reunited with Martel.

But her? That crying? Oh, for the love of... he's so not in the mood to hear that right now. ]

Please, don't. [ It sounds more annoyed than comforting, but he gets to his feet, his arms crossed. He starts reaching for his SFC; he's going to dump this one off on Colette. ]

[howagirllearns]

[ She's trying to stop crying, honest. Chika hears the boy nearby, and looks over toward him, pausing mid-wiping of her tears away. Suddenly, she has something new to focus on ...

With a frown, she balls her hands into fists again and turns her attention toward him. ]

Don't what?!

[martelapproves]

Cry. [ Scrolling... scrolling... Colette's name has to be here, somewhere. He really can't take a human child right now. Even if he himself doesn't look that much older than her.

Mithos finally sighs, and motions towards the towel cart. ] Aren't you going to dry off? [ His voice is just barely above an annoyed groan. ]

[howagirllearns]

[ She opens her mouth, about to say something more to him, but then he points to the cart. Chika pouts, then moves over there, grabs a towel, and wraps it around herself.

And then, she moves back over toward Mithos and frowns a little more at him. ]

I'll cry if I want to!

[ Wow, what a brat. ]

[howamanlives]

[okay, Masaru knows that sound. And he hates that sound. And now he's homing in on it like a rocket, because that's what a manbig brother does!]

... Chika! CHIKA, WHERE ARE YOU?!

[howagirllearns]

[ And Chika knows that sound. But then, if Masaru was here ... was this place, Vatheon, part of the Digital World?

She'd figure that out later. Right now, she just wants her brother. ]

Masaru-niichan!

[ Even though she knows she should stay where she is and let Masaru come to her, Chika can't help but run toward the sound of his voice. ]

I-I'm over here! Masaru-niichan!

[howamanlives]

CHIKAAAAAAAAAAA!

[and then he sees her. And his face lights up with excitement and worry. And then he's barreling towards her and grabbing her into the biggest hug he can manage!]

[howagirllearns]

[ Oh, no worries, Chika's going to hug him just as tightly. And maybe cry against him a little. ]

Masaru-niichan!

[ At this point, she hasn't seen her brother in several months. He went to the Digital World when the Digimon were sent back ... So, she's going to cling to her brother and not let go for a while. No matter how big of a pain Masaru can be, Chika loves her big brother. ]

[golden_darkness]

<sub>[While looking for anything that would tell him why he is here and how to go back, Kouichi notices the girl. He looks around; no one else seems to pay any attention to her and it seems like she is in the same situation as him: lost in a place she shouldn't be in.

He approaches her after a moment of hesitation.]</sub>

...Are you okay?

[howagirllearns]

[ Despite Chika being very afraid, she doesn't want anyone else to know that, really. She rubs at her eyes and shakes her head a little. ]

I have water in my eyes!

[thenightfury]

[RAWR ITS A MONSTER!!!

Oh hey. It's a human kid thing. He will flatten himself down on the plaza and make sounds at her.

You okay, little human child thing? Are you lost like me?

Oh wait! He knows!

He moved to the front of a shop and stood up. Just going to rip off the fabric off the awning here. It looked clean!

He will come back to the leaking child thing and drop it top of her!

All better, right? Toothless then hopped on top of the great coral to watch her.

All better, right?]

[howagirllearns]

[ gknrkgnrkgn DRAGON. Are you a Digimon? Chika can't help but stare at the creature from beneath her gift of an awning cover, a little too curious by the fact that there is a Dragon here to really cry any more.

One would think a tiny girl would be frightened by a dragon, right?

... She's seen big monsters before, a friendly dragon is nothing. Instead, she smiles, wrapping the awning fabric around her tightly. ]

Thank you!

[chosen_light_child]

[Hikari's confused. To say the least. This wasn't what she was expecting when she and the others had decided to go into the Digital World today.

And the others weren't in this place with her. But freaking out wasn't going to solve anything. This pretty obviously wasn't Dagomon's Ocean, so there probably wasn't much to worry about.

Well, no, there was a ton of things to worry about. But Dagomon wasn't one of them, and that was what mattered. Well, that and being completely soaked. She needed a change of clothes now before she got sick.

But all of that went right out of her head as she heard another girl sobbing, and saw someone else here who was lost. Before she could think about it, she was standing right next to the other girl. She looked like she was Hikari's age.]

Hey there... Are you lost too?

[Maybe between the both of them, they could figure something out.]

[howagirllearns]

[ Despite the other girl being able to relate to her, Chika doesn't want to seem like a scared little girl ... despite the fact that she is. She looks up at the other girl with a bit of surprise, but then she wipes her tears on her arm (that's not really making it any better, dear) and nods. ]

Mhm. I don't know how I got here ...

[chosen_light_child]

[Hikari frowns, nodding at the other girl.]

Yeah. I know what you mean. One moment I was doing normal stuff and then the next... well, I'm here.

[She shivers a bit, looking around.]

We should go find someone who knows what's going on. Or someone who can give us some dry clothes.
