[X] Climb up to her yourself.

I was going to say this even before I saw it was a choice, mostly because I remember the end of the series has Sora and Biyomon chatting in a tree, and I think talking to Kari before helping her down is important.
 
Note to self: people will do anything to help the cute little kid character.


-Vote Closed!-

On a related note, I am now completely confident in my written up replacement for the 02 plot, assuming we ever get that far. And if it goes badly? Just blame Maki's repressed memories...
 
She Has No Climb Skill, These Things Happen
"Hey, Birdramon? Could you land for a moment?" The words are out of your mouth before you even fully realize it, and you just as quickly find yourself sliding from your partner's back.

Right. You've trained for this, as much as you can say that about anything. Regular exercise has actually made you fairly fit for your age, though you're well aware that it won't do much of anything against Digimon above a certain level. That all humans in general can do is Digivolve their partner and hope for the best.

...Huh. Maybe that's why Kari's upset. Not that you can say anything for sure until you talk to her.
(Sora's climbing roll total: 91.)
It's not the best tree for climbing. Smooth bark, not very many branches... but you've never let something being merely difficult stop you before now, so why start? You hop for the first branch, managing to haul yourself up after a few false starts. The other branches are a good bit easier to reach, but you still wouldn't be doing this if you didn't know that Birdramon would immediately move to catch you if you fell. She's helpful like that.

Kari being near the top of the tree, it takes you a few minutes to find a way up there, and you're not entirely sure you can safely get down, but... well... you have Birdramon. Safety concerns pertaining to heights are for those that aren't partnered to giant orange fire birds.

Kari is leaning against the trunk of the tree, her hands gripping the two nearest branches as tightly as possible. You linger just below her for a moment, before moving... not quite next to her, but someplace that the two of you can face each other without too much difficulty.

"Kari, how are you feeling?" You ask. It takes a few moments for her to respond.

"I'm fine..." No. No, she is definitely not fine.

"Are you sure about that? Because it looks to me like you're clinging to a tree." She winces. Right, and she just got out of a bubble, too.

If some random Digimon has instilled in this girl a fear of heights, you just might hurt somebody. Honestly, you might end up doing that anyway- you wouldn't all be so spread out if it weren't for Devimon, who also happens to control the Gears. Therefore, some of your problems can be solved by eliminating Devimon.

It's cold, you know, but you haven't been having a very good past few days.

"Look, I'm going to try to help you down, now. Just step where I step, okay?" Some of the light seems to have returned to her eyes, but she's still a bit uneasy.

"What if I fall?"

"You're not going to fall," You encourage her. "Now, come on..."
(Kari's Climb roll: 12)
She nods, and manages to pull herself to a standing position. Leaning forward, she manages to take your outstretched hand, before a sudden gust of wind sweeps across the savanna. Right behind her. While she's leaning forward.

...And that is why you are now hanging from a tree branch by only one hand while clutching a terrified girl with the other. Today just isn't your day.


Sora's DS: 446/462


[ ] It's a straight drop down... maybe you'll land okay?

[ ] ...Okay, maybe you should get Birdramon's help...

[ ] Try pulling yourself back up to safety. If you manage it, just imagine how much more faith Kari will have in you!
 
[X] Try pulling yourself back up to safety. If you manage it, just imagine how much more faith Kari will have in you!

Screw it, Mama Bear Sora time!
 
[X] Try pulling yourself back up to safety. If you manage it, just imagine how much more faith Kari will have in you!

Time for us to replace useless bro!
 
Sora: *Turns to stare at the Digital World* "If you don't stop picking on her, I'll kick your fucking ass."

She'd probably make it stick too... I could actually see that being a legitimate thing to sit down and ask her at this point in a way:

Sora: *Sitting next to Kairi* "Kairi, is the digital world picking on you?" But it sounds so silly, except Kairi's kind of really not well right now... and that gust of wind was too well timed.

Also, I hope Kairi is okay with Sora smothering her, I get the feeling we're going to be doing that for a while now.

[X] ...Okay, maybe you should get Birdramon's help...
 
Communication
If there was one person that Haruka 'Haru' Yamaguchi knew she could talk to about anything, it was Guilmon. Her Digimon partner had been a relatively new addition to her life, but he was very much a welcome one. She loved having a dinosaur friend that hung off of her every word- nobody had ever listened to her before she arrived in the Digital World. Well, not to do anything but mock her, anyway.

And he did listen to her, or the coffee incident would likely have been repeated at least once. But no, once she banned Guilmon from caffeine, he never even tried to touch it again, much to the eternal relief of her friends.

And she had friends now. This was something new, something exciting, though Haru didn't tend to tag along on their adventures- as useful as a Stegomon might be, she just couldn't run as fast as the rest of them, something that her poor vision didn't exactly help.

"Sorry about that," She had apologized the first time she misread a sign. "I normally wear glasses, just... I forgot them at home." She'd expected everyone to laugh at her, the same as people back home did whenever she messed up.

"Well, that's just another reason for us to get home then, isn't it?" Daigo laughed. No. No, this wasn't right. He wasn't supposed to be so good-natured about it, this didn't make any sense!

Even Kazuya had been somewhat nice about it- and Kaz wasn't nice about anything, back in those days. "Hey, Riku, you can draw half-decently, right? Maybe you could draw things out here, so she can learn what they look like later?"

"My eyes aren't that bad!" She protested. "Right, Guilmon?"

"There is nothing wrong with Haru," Her partner loyally replied, taking a defensive position.

"Well, I wouldn't go that far..." She mumbled. But she found herself smiling, and thinking that it wouldn't be so bad if she never went home, or if her eyesight did deteriorate to the point of blindness, if it meant that every day could be like this.

People who she could talk to... Yeah, Haru could find herself getting used to this.


More than a year later, Haru found herself wishing she had gone blind. It probably wouldn't have changed anything, beyond forcing one of her friends (And she was comfortable with calling them that, now.) to learn Digicode once she was unable to read it herself, but at least fulfilling the prophecy wouldn't have been her idea.

"Maki, I-" she started, before stopping herself. Because, really, what was she supposed to say in this situation?

Especially when her translation was part of what had caused them to think this was a good idea in the first place. And it wasn't.

So much for her being the smart one. Suddenly, everything her classmates said came back in full force: A know-it-all, teacher's pet, a half-blind lunatic who couldn't even remember that she couldn't see.

But maybe it would be okay. They'd lived through being torn away from home, the destruction of entire civilizations, a battle for the fate of both worlds. Maybe they could get through this, as well.

Not that she was the best with people. No, that was Daigo. But she trusted him to know what to do here. Maki was his best friend, after all. She'd focus on things she personally needed at the moment, like picking up the pieces after her whole world fell around her so that she didn't even have Ebonwumon's constant company anymore. It would be fine.


"Maki's gone." Was all that Daigo said after starting a meeting on the eighteenth of April. Riku was the first one to react.

"What do you mean, she's gone!? I just talked to her a few days ago!"

"Well, you remember how her family lives on Heighton View Terrace? There was a Parrotmon there, he wanted to attack us to get back at our partners for some reason... left the portal open behind him." That probably wasn't the full story. Haru might not have been very good at talking to others before the Digital World, but she could tell that much. You didn't just leave a portal open, after all.

"But she's still alive, right?" Kaz checked.

"She was when she went through the portal," Daigo shrugged. "But I'm pretty sure the Parrotmon was already dying when Greymon and Birdramon forced him through, and time in the DigiWorld's weird, so..." Haru's mind leapt to the most important points.

"Greymon? Birdramon? There were Digimon here?" She'd wondered if it was possible, but...

And that was how she learned of the existence of Sora Takenouchi. And for a moment, she considered trying not to be so sloppy, in order to impress the new kid.

That resolution didn't even last a week.


Taking an apprentice was easily, in Haru's mind, the best decision she'd ever made. Izzy seemed to get along better with kids his age than she did when she was young, but that wasn't saying a whole lot. Still wasn't in the present, what with her three same-age friends that still lived on the same plane of existence as she did, but she was better than she used to be. As it was, the harsher parts of her past was something she'd never really needed to deal with beyond acknowledging that it happened.

And then her student and his friend had hacked into the Digital World's basic access. And she found herself scrambling for the phone, putting in Daigo's number with the ease of having long memorized it- he was the one everyone went to when they had problems, after all. Sometimes she wondered who he went to, but figured it wasn't important. He seemed to be holding up well enough, after all.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Daigo? We need to talk." She forced herself to calm down, reminded herself that her hope was more or less unfounded- the chance of actual closure was low enough as to practically be nonexistent, and she figured they'd all coped well enough. They didn't need it.

"This... this is going to be important, isn't it?"

"Of course it's important!" As if she'd call him in the middle of the day if it wasn't. "My apprentice found something, and I need to ask you." She paused again, composed herself.

"Haru, you need to ask your question first." She sighed. She'd just been getting to that part.

"Tell me... what exactly happened to Maki?" She should have asked this sooner, honestly. It was probably worse not knowing.

"Well... there was a portal by the bridge that collapsed. Parrotmon and Greymon were pulled into it. Maki... she jumped." Which explained why she'd only met Sora's Biyomon, as well. But that wasn't important.

What was important was that Maki probably didn't have any intention of returning to their world, if she'd decided that leaving it was the best option. So chasing her down in an effort to bring her back would probably be an exercise in futility. Which meant Haru didn't have to waste time chasing nonexistent leads, and could instead look towards the future.

Preferably, one where she could talk to her partner again.


If one were to ask Haruka Yamaguchi what the best point in her life had been, she'd say July 1998- February 1999. Not for any particular reason in her everyday life, but because, once she'd finished her (pathetically easy) homework for the day, if she and Riku didn't have a date planned, or she wasn't working with Izzy- like he needed the help- or meeting with friends, she'd spend the rest of the day on her email, chatting with Ebonwumon.

He'd grown a lot from the Guilmon she'd first met in the Digital World and accidentally fed coffee to. But then, she supposed that was the wisdom of years talking. It was like having daily conversations with her own personal guru. Of all the Sovereigns, she'd easily say he'd changed the most.

For the most part. While he now called Riku 'Rikuto' and Kaz 'Kazuya', to him, she was still Haru. Even her own boyfriend called her by her full name rather than her old nickname more often than not these days, but Ebonwumon was still able to evoke those fond memories of... well, not a totally happy childhood by any means, but of a time when everything felt wonderful because it seemed so much more complicated.

It was amazing how boring things were when it felt like you knew everything, and Haruka sometimes had problems reminding herself that she didn't. At least, until she tripped on a textbook she left lying out, at which point everything started to balance back down a little. And then she'd tell Ebonwumon all about it in the hope that he'd find it funny.

For so long, things had worked that way just fine. And then she was woken in the middle of the night by her Digivice. Slipping her glasses on so she could see- her vision had been steadily getting worse recently- she instantly translated a set of runes that she'd expected never to see again.

Help us! -Maki

The next day, Ebonwumon stopped responding to her emails. Had something happened to him? Would she ever know? She wasn't sure.


Even after losing contact with the Sovereigns, Haruka liked to pretend that everything was okay. She acted like she wasn't worried for her partner- he was a Mega Digimon and could take care of himself. He didn't need her anymore. If he'd ever needed her in the first place.

Everything would be just fine. It had to be.

...She didn't like crying because it fogged up her glasses, but some days, she was sorely tempted.

But for the most part, she was able to keep it together. And then, one day, Izzy told her not to worry about meeting to work during the summer, because he'd be going to various camps for the whole thing. And she saw him off with a smile, telling herself that this was a normal part of life, and her loyal student was just growing up.

And then she got a notification of an email that was from the same server as the Digital World. It wasn't Ebonwumon's address, but she still opened it, allowing herself to hope.

Maybe she shouldn't have.

Okay, let's just cut off the chance of panic and say that nobody's died yet. Okay, given that we were at summer camp, that's probably not very reassuring. But we're all fine, really, even Mimi's leg's gotten better. But... well... we're kind of stuck in the Digital World. Help?

If you're wondering
why we're in the Digital World, well, a portal opened up at camp. Five Digivices fell out of the sky, landing in front of the owner of this computer, Taichi and Hikari Kamiya, Mimi Tachikawa, and Yamato Ishida. Sora Takenouchi and Takeru Takaishi were in the area, as well as their Digimon, so they ended up coming along for the ride, thankfully. Otherwise, the past eight days would probably have been a lot more difficult, not least because of the fact that Kari's partner is nowhere to be found, though she is currently caring for a Bukamon belonging to Joe Kido. (Yes, that Joe. We're just as surprised as you are.)

On a semi-related note... we know a bit of what happened to Maki. Apparently, she ended up on File Island some time back and helped found a city, though she left to Server for research purposes a long time ago, and nobody on the island's heard from her since. A lot of Digimon seem to remember her, though. Mayor Jijimon, the Bakemon of the Overdell, and the Kunemon that's been acting as our landlady, amongst others. ...Well, landlady for most of us. Tai got evicted some time back for making a comment about insecticide.

Really, the biggest problem we've had to deal with are Black Gears randomly doing things- you remember those, right? But we have our Digivices, so it's really not a big deal. We'll try and get home as soon as possible, though if you find this and manage to respond before we get back, advice would be welcomed, particularly as to how you got back and whether it might be viable to try and contact your partners, from either side of the gate. Yes, Miss Yamaguchi, we will tell Ebonwumon to start returning your calls if we come across him somehow, not that we expect to. We're in the south.

We also found something you might be interested in: DNA Digivolution. If you haven't heard of it, basically compatible Digimon are capable of temporarily fusing into a stronger one. It's common enough that tournaments in the city allow it in team fights as part of their normal rules.

If you get a message after this containing little of substance, that's the message we plan to send in roughly twenty-four hours to give us a good idea of the time passing between worlds. It'll only work if you actually tell us the results, though, so make sure to do that.
