I wonder how we'll explain to our bosses why we gave the child operatives a title that sounds like something straight out of a saturday morning cartoon
As Multiverses Colide (A Multiversal Crossover, Where Starting In the 90's Things Change)
- Thread starter Magoose
- Start date
- Crossover
....Well, there is a non-zero chance that it might legitimately look like it was pulled directly from the show. After all, OTL 3 years after the rise of the IP, the first Anime started. While OTL it was 1999, OTL also had the Digimon franchise surface in 1997. So, it's entirely possible it has already started, or is in development.
Then we might have to patent the name, copyright probably still exists in this timeline

May be quite late for a new plan, but posting one in part because we got two ??? actions involving possibly time sensitive events. One is the currently ongling Digimon civil war, which we might be able to put off given the US Army will likely get involved, or maybe we need to get involved because of that. 🤷♂️ 😅
And then there is the Doromon's 'friend', whom could possibly be that defector that was mentioned by the GM. Although overall the plan is taking more risks and delays getting to know people whom we are working with.

MACUSA Reaction post Crisis

In a New York office, hidden away from prying eyes, a meeting happens between two Aurorers.
A1"Aurorer Deacon Hall. I hope new york has treated you well, it's a bit different than Great Britain. Though I am afraid this meeting is about a serious matter."
A2"Why seek me out in particular? I know my record isn't exactly notable."
A1"I am sure you heard of the Digimon Incident, right?"
A2"Isn't that a muggle problem?"
A1"The proper word is Nomaj, much less likely to offend people. But, the Digimon situation is a delicate one, and possibly one with apocalyptic impact on how everyone sees the world, nomaj AND wizard."
A2"...Destroying the masquerade?"
A1"From what our computer expert tells us, the very existance of Digimon breaks the FUNDAMENTAL RULES ON COMPUTERS as the nomajs understand them. At it's most basic, the Wild Bunch created code that was easily a century ahead of it's time, EVEN BEFORE CONSIDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO THE INTERNET! Computers, at it's most basic functions like a massive number of levers. It can't simulate thoughts, all it can do is take inputs and spit out outputs based on the inputs, like a runic array."
A2"What does this have to do with us? I mean, that means someone was working on the project secretly, right?"
A1"That's just it. There is no sign of anything, and even the formation of Task Force Shield shows that whatever formed the dimension, it wasn't some nomaj group. Nor could it have been digimon, because they took form in said dimension, and not hidden away within the foundational fabric of the space. Which, has driven us up the wall trying to figure out how, with the only explaination that we currently have, is that somehow, The Internet was a new Dimension from the first day the US Military started connecting their digital systems together, possibly even earlier."
A2"Are you telling me, that the leading theory of what's going on is TWO separate instances of ACCIDENTAL MAGIC BY GROUPS OF MUGGLES led to two seperate feats that even the Department of Mysteries might have been unable to do?!?!?"
A1"And that is where our group is at right now. Digging deep into magic theory and asking questions that, in hindsight should be asked earlier. Like, what exactly, is accidental magic, and why is wandless magic so hard specifically for those whom have long used wands?"
A2"What?"
A1"Everyone was using wandless magic before wands entered the picture. Even now wandless magic is still a major thing if you just know where to look. As while it became rare in Europe, Africa is still dominated by hand sign based magic, and over here, it is still rather present thanks to Ilvermony and a partnership with the tribes preserving their knowledge and techniques. And those are just two of who knows how many cases among us wizards. Who is to say that someone incapable of using a wand is truly magicless? Why is it that families with a long history of magic can seem to have a child with none, and why can the opposite scenario happen?"
A2"That... that's so crazy I'd have likely dismissed such out of hand in any other situation. Though, it is a little odd how in spite of MACUSA's whole reputation, you seem to know quite a bit about nomaj happenings, given the certainty that you ruled out other options."
A1"Well, contrary to what the idiots in England think, it would have been impossible for us to maintain the masquerade without finding some means to be able to secretly work with the Nomaj side, made more complicated by the Religious Fundamentalists the Scourgers remnants effectively helped found. Even before courting the fact that the real reason we never considered banning alcohol during the lead up to and during the Prohibition Era, was that it likely would have just led to the dissolution or overthrow of the whole MACUSA due to compounding on the unpopularity of Rappaport's law, being seen as something forced upon us by International Confederation of Wizards. Never mind how next to impossible it was to ever truly enforce, which was even exploited by us to keep the Masquerade intact. Though, If I remember correctly, there was a paper done on how Rapports law may have led to an increase in the number of wizards able to use wandless magic."
A2"Why me? Of all the Wizards from Britain to try to recruit, why me?"
A1"You were clever and bold enough to try and use muggle espionage tools to do your job, and even successfully done to, leading to multiple arrests. Showing an adaptability and observation that will be needed in the days to come. Not to mention, that as a British Auror, you have experience with the closest to a war we had in this age. The job is open if you want to take it. If you don't, then it will be like the meeting never happened, we can't take the risk of the British Ministry, or the International Confederation panicking."
A/N:Well, here is a bit of an attempt at how MACUSA may be handling things? Which, is intending to both mix in making them not the most hermitlike in relation to the magic/no magic divide, having them also face a much tougher job maintaining the masquerade due to locals 'being harder to hoodwink', and stuff like their most well known school having one of their founders be a nomaj, which combined with other factors, explicitly has been noted to have left the school as the least elitist and most democratic of the Great Wizarding Schools. Still quite secretive though.

Wait, if Fate is canon, then there are a whole bunch of historical figures that were secretly anime girls this whole time
Dear god
Dear god
I wanna see a historian with access to some ancient texts describing historical events across the world, without whatever bullshit made everyone remember the historical figures wrong
"Wait a sec, these- oh my god, OH MY GOD! THEY WERE ALL GIRLS! HOW THE FUCK DID WE GET SO MANY GENDERS WRONG!? HOW?! KING ARTHUR WAS A LADY AND MERLIN GAVE HER A HWAT!?"

…Given the power scaling in the Fate series…
I could see it not being in our starting earth to give some time before things get TOO CRAZY. 😅
Like how I think it's safe to say we aren't going to stumble into the Touhou project anytime soon, never mind that when dealing with settings that have a not insignificant history relative to our start date, there will need to be consideration for how it could slot into that of already existing IPs. Or in other words, how did the Magi and the Wizards of England not get into a massive war yet?
I mean, I had entertained bringing up El Goonish Shive elements in the omake, but decided not to because of the possible difficulty of incorporating some setting aspects, like the whole 'personification of human magic' thing, and how known aspects such as EGS magic and the existence of the Magical FBI may interact with stuff like MACUSA
Okay, so your guesstimate is that the Fate wizards are canon to the current world, but a vast majority of the crazy Fate stuff is canon elsewhere…Given the power scaling in the Fate series…

Did I get that right?
The FATE wizards call themselves Magi if I remember correctly. 😅
So I am basically saying that based on what I remember, the Clocktower and the HP wizarding society would probably be at each other's throats due to cultural differences. Or basically all the stuff canon in another earth or something.🤷♂️
Let us wait for the Magoose to enlighten us
- Pronouns
- He/They
I mean, I'm pretty sure at least some of them only turned into anime girls post-death or however that works with the Throne of Heroes.
Given the MACUSA omake has been marked as side story. It seems that they are currently in a bit of scientific upheaval as they come to terms with the insanity of the whole digimon existing thing, while doing their best to hide their dueling academics busy revisiting EVERYTHING to try and avoid a panicked and uninformed attempt to preserve the masquerade. Though, one general mystery is the different magic traditions that is either left vague or completely unvisited in canon material.
England we kinda know as it's the domain of the wands, and kinda the benchmark for everyone else. Africa still has a strong local tradition, using hand movements to cast magic with the wands having only limited presense. The USA has the local techniques and traditions, with the only knowledge available being they are noted for plant and animal magic(What exactly is meant, is never clarified), as well as very sophisicated alchemy/potion making skills. Which while not outright stated, implies the relatively stronger presence of wandless magic from having non-modern wizard magic be a part of the very foundation of the school due to the agreement before Livermony was even a true school yet, which has only been emphasized as a side effect of Rapports Law mandating no wands till wizarding school having not fully intended effects. And in our backyard there is a school deeply shrouded in mystery, in part because all we really know is they excel in quidditch and had a member participate in a potions tournament. And then there is the South America school, and 4 other unknown great magical schools that are a complete mystery.

If Fate and Harry Potter are in the same universe how do the two magical worlds fit together. Is the Clocktower part of magical Britain or will both sides be surprised by the existance of the other.
I'm more thinking about the comedy potential of a historian learning that Oda Nobunaga was a anime girl

"How goes efforts with InGen?"
"Poorly, even the recent global incident has hardly shook them somehow. There must be someone backing them behind the scenes."
"Many thought InGen would collapse after the Philosopher's attempt at their research left InGen's leader and main hype man hospitalized."*An audible sigh was heard, as another laughs.*"And yet, here we are, years later trying to figure out what they are doing besides their flagship secret project."
"The Philosophers failed? I knew they fallen since World War 2 caused them to splinter, but still! The Philosophers, foiled by mundane Corporate Security?"
"Well, not sure if it is better or worse, but they DID cause a containment breach. Details are unclear, but who really knows what InGen labs were cooking up then."
"The research would be a massive boon for so many different efforts. Better food, Better animals, Possibly even being able to push the Super Assassins project to unimagined heights."
"Aren't cloning humans a whole other level of difficulty?"
"And so is completing puzzles while missing a portion of the pieces, which is the closest analogy to what InGen is likely doing in their quest for dinosaurs."
"Why haven't we just bought them out then?"
"Would get too much attention, especially as our attempt to do it slowly wound up getting shut down hard as a side effect of new management's policies."
"How about Dr. Wu? A blank check for research should be appealing."
"Dr. Wu worked with Hammond from the beginning, and his pride will make it unlikely for him to step away from his project. For some pride might be great to tempt with, he already has an exceptional prestige project he's been working on for years by that point, something we simply can't compete with. Maybe in the future, but certainly not now."
"Not to mention how thanks to the corp near exclusively being set up on Isla Sorna and Isla Nublar, further limiting influence attempts"
"And now they are entrenched. At this point we may be stuck waiting for a storm or eruption to create an opportunity."
A/N: Jurassic Park should be in motion as of the current time period. A few years from the canon start, but there is also events like the very recent global event and possible interference from secret societies wanting InGens cloning tech. Though I have taken liberties, pulling a bit from a what-if quest as far as going off the rails, going with the angle of Hammond's main talent/skill being the hype man, given how both versions in the man faced problems, not to mention questionable decisions like the lack of any Animal Behaviorists and tasking a Game Warden for Park Security... Or basically, an attempt at InGen's cloning tech forced someone else to be put in charge, with a more relevant skill set, while hinting that there is more than bog standard industrial espionage going on.

[X] The Digimon Handler Unit/ D.H.U.
The Japan Trinity's Response
Post Crisis
In an out of the way shrine, three highly influential people of Japan's Magical Society meet to discuss the recent crisis, and the now ever shifting status quo.
Samurai:" We have a situation on our hands. A local mundane doom cult had gotten their hands on SOMETHING and used it and their controlled 'Digimon' to rampage across the Globe"
Ninja:" While the matter has yet to involve any magic, it is worrying the sheer scale of the attack, and the unknown backers. If they manage to acquire some form of blessing from one of the hostile factions on the other side of the fade, it could be catastrophic."
Miko:" There isn't much we can do about that, but do what we will need to do already, given the situation. I have already arranged for an emergency portkey to be sent to the gun mikos over in America. I heard the whole of American Magical society is spooked by this whole incident."
Ninja:" They are questioning even the fundamental laws of magic as European magic society understands it, behind closed doors. Never mind the increased attention towards muggle topics everywhere, including schools. Though Gravity Falls and Mooperville might have had something to do with it, even with people mostly staying out of those areas."
Samurai:*Chuckles*"Going by the family stories, Mooperville was a hell of a place to be. Not many places can claim their local newspaper can be called a tabloid simply because of what happens at a regular basis. My family moved there during the Imperial period after all."
Ninja:*Sigh*"The stories in my family is more than enough to to not want a second Imperial era, but not everyone believes that."
Samurai:" Our numbers haven't even recovered and there is a movement to try and restore the madness among the Samurai"
Miko:" Focus, we aren't here to talk about the past. Turbulent times are ahead."
Samurai:" And few are more experienced than the Miko association. Got any ideas to distract the International Confederation of Wizards? We know how European-centric they are and their ideas. MACUSA done us a great service during that mess Commodore Perry heralded. Especially given they are probably going to try and grill your group AGAIN."
Miko:" Were we supposed to let hooligans wreck our shrines by doing nothing? Besides, all records will indicate no magic used, like always."
Ninja:" The Fade as always, is ridiculous. How it affects even memories held in a Pensive I will probably never figure out."
A/N:A had been bouncing the general idea for something like this for a while, kinda building up a loose possible thing in my mind, and well...
I got a somewhat confusing idea to kinda have stuff from El Goonish Shive, Percy Jackson, and Harry Potter stuff around at the same time. Because well, all three has masquerades sustained by different means, like Percy Jackson has the Fade, a force that exists that obscures the mystical world from those unseen, and with how a big thing about dealing with monsters is to use tools/magic from the faith the monster is from to deal with, it could easily be separate from the HP world due to them being equally befuddled by the veil, aside from special cases like the Miko's whom kind of have a foot in both worlds thanks to their ties to the Kami and traditional role of maintaining the shrines to said gods, or the American school of wizardry's deep ties with local magic tradition likely lead to some of their members having a foot in the more godly/divine world, with the Vatican basically holding the biggest power and regulator of such matters, whom as a result of the nature of the setting, incorporates many traditions and tools in order to fight whatever they may encounter. Though, one question mark is the Templar Order, which could very well have split between the AC group that disguised themselves as a church group, much to their fury, and the actual religious order that went to the Americas, possibly present in Ilvermorny school of magic. The 13th could have been a real messy conflict complete with a hidden civil war.
While EGS is self-regulating in the sense any breach quickly ends with an effective magic reset. Which could also explain how the EGS magic and HP magic gets decoupled in a sense, where as EGS magic occasionally worms it's way in, and even was almost certainly more prominent before/during early wands, every so often, a breach happens, and suddenly the users of human magic are back to square one, while the wand users are untouched due to their different basis, such as when the Mongols used magic to aid in their grand conquest only for the 'reset button' to be hit, forcing all EGS brand users to relearn from scratch. Leading to EGS branch having the smallest overall presence, even with their unparalleled accessibility. Which, is even backed with how chronically understaffed the one known gov organization that regulates magic there is staffed, given a single person retiring is a not insignificant blow. Also, there are who knows how many 'useless artifacts' that might suddenly become useful again due to the Regulating Force giving up on keeping magic a secret.
So, I guess this is both a theory post and an omake covering a more local group. Or as lore wise I kinda envisioned, more like three different groups connected by being the backbone of magical society. With the long running feud formed by a failure to force the mikos to decouple from their mundane presence thanks to the Kami, while the Ninja does Ninja things and the Samurai generally being the face, and most compliant, at least officially.

Never mind the increased attention towards muggle topics everywhere, including schools. Though Gravity Falls and Mooperville might have had something to do with it, even with people mostly staying out of those areas."
Samurai:*Chuckles*"Going by the family stories, Mooperville was a hell of a place to be. Not many places can claim their local newspaper can be called a tabloid simply because of what happens at a regular basis. My family moved there during the Imperial period after all."
Ninja:*Sigh*"The stories in my family is more than enough to to not want a second Imperial era, but not everyone believes that."
Samurai:" Our numbers haven't even recovered and there is a movement to try and restore the madness among the Samurai"
Miko:" Focus, we aren't here to talk about the past. Turbulent times are ahead."
Samurai:" And few are more experienced than the Miko association. Got any ideas to distract the International Confederation of Wizards? We know how European-centric they are and their ideas. MACUSA done us a great service during that mess Commodore Perry heralded. Especially given they are probably going to try and grill your group AGAIN."
Miko:" Were we supposed to let hooligans wreck our shrines by doing nothing? Besides, all records will indicate no magic used, like always."
Ninja:" The Fade as always, is ridiculous. How it affects even memories held in a Pensive I will probably never figure out."
A/N:A had been bouncing the general idea for something like this for a while, kinda building up a loose possible thing in my mind, and well...
I got a somewhat confusing idea to kinda have stuff from El Goonish Shive, Percy Jackson, and Harry Potter stuff around at the same time. Because well, all three has masquerades sustained by different means, like Percy Jackson has the Fade, a force that exists that obscures the mystical world from those unseen, and with how a big thing about dealing with monsters is to use tools/magic from the faith the monster is from to deal with, it could easily be separate from the HP world due to them being equally befuddled by the veil, aside from special cases like the Miko's whom kind of have a foot in both worlds thanks to their ties to the Kami and traditional role of maintaining the shrines to said gods, or the American school of wizardry's deep ties with local magic tradition likely lead to some of their members having a foot in the more godly/divine world, with the Vatican basically holding the biggest power and regulator of such matters, whom as a result of the nature of the setting, incorporates many traditions and tools in order to fight whatever they may encounter. Though, one question mark is the Templar Order, which could very well have split between the AC group that disguised themselves as a church group, much to their fury, and the actual religious order that went to the Americas, possibly present in Ilvermorny school of magic. The 13th could have been a real messy conflict complete with a hidden civil war.
While EGS is self-regulating in the sense any breach quickly ends with an effective magic reset. Which could also explain how the EGS magic and HP magic gets decoupled in a sense, where as EGS magic occasionally worms it's way in, and even was almost certainly more prominent before/during early wands, every so often, a breach happens, and suddenly the users of human magic are back to square one, while the wand users are untouched due to their different basis, such as when the Mongols used magic to aid in their grand conquest only for the 'reset button' to be hit, forcing all EGS brand users to relearn from scratch. Leading to EGS branch having the smallest overall presence, even with their unparalleled accessibility. Which, is even backed with how chronically understaffed the one known gov organization that regulates magic there is staffed, given a single person retiring is a not insignificant blow. Also, there are who knows how many 'useless artifacts' that might suddenly become useful again due to the Regulating Force giving up on keeping magic a secret.
So, I guess this is both a theory post and an omake covering a more local group. Or as lore wise I kinda envisioned, more like three different groups connected by being the backbone of magical society. With the long running feud formed by a failure to force the mikos to decouple from their mundane presence thanks to the Kami, while the Ninja does Ninja things and the Samurai generally being the face, and most compliant, at least officially.
