<sub>Asuka city was full of it's usual hustle and bustle today. Players and digimon alike were running around here and there while the sunshine beat down upon the virtual cityscape. Standing a step outside the MAGAMI HQ after having first arrived and received her partner, Pixen was left wondering what she was supposed to do from here.

"Come on Impmon." Pixen finally said, taking her partner's hand and leading him to the nearest bench where they could sit down and get their bearings. She had read through the manuals and everything, but she still getting the hang of this. She sat there for a bit just going through various menus on her satellite.

Meanwhile Impmon remained standing, just leaning on the side of the bench while his partner sorted herself out. Impatience nagged at him, and he was itching to fight and grow stronger. As people and their partners passed by them, he eyed the digimon, sizing them up. There had to be some chump out their he could beat. "So, yeh got things figured out yet?" He finally asked, poking Pixen on the shoulder.

"Hmm... Not sure. I might need to ask for help getting started here." Pixen said, closing the menus up and crossing her arms. Her friends had invited her to play this game, but where were they now? Probably not even online. She thought. Looking around, she realized just how small she was. She had forgotten how big everything looked when she was so little.

Pixen looked around. She couldn't really see if there was any staff around, all she could see was a sea of blue satellites. "Blue just means they are players right? How can I tell who's staff?" She asked, scratching her head. If anything she learned right now, a four year old wandering around on her own obviously wasn't a cause for concern in this game.

"Staff are red. How about sending a shout and you could get someone?" Impmon suggested, shrugging. Do something at least! The digimon thought, as his tail tapped the ground from boredom.

Pixen nodded. She didn't see any sign of a red satellite around, so instead she activated the shout function. [New player here! Can someone help me get started here? I'm in Asuka City in front of the MAGAMI building. Thanks!]</sub>

[/font] There. Now all she had to do was wait, and hopefully someone would come by to help.

[atrb=border,0,true] turn your kindness into strength He walks through the crowd of chattering with his hands in his pocket. People, so many goddamn people. He hates Asuka City the most. Despite its grand space and size to fit thousands of players and their partner Digimon, the details overwhelm Ronin's senses, like the pungent smell of rotten eggs assaulting his nosestrill. He didn't grow up in some remote town. He lives in the city but it doesn't mean he lived out the the standard city life of high-consumption and late-night hours of pointless strolling. "Are you okay, Ronin?" Strabimon asks, peering at his face. "Although you might not suffer from physical strains here, the game still advises proper health care and rest. Perhaps you are in need of one?" "Definitely," Ronin says. "But not right now. I'll manage." He tries not to think of the homework and paper he has yet to get started on and the time ticking outside in the real world. He'll stop soon once he get some work and training done then he'll stay up to work on them. Again. He clicks his tongue in annoyance and throws the guy who just bumped him on the way a dirty look. Yeah, it doesn't matter whether or not he has a red satellite signifying position in the staff. To their eyes, he's just some kid even though no one in the game can ever be sure of a person's real age and identity. But did it hurt not to be rude? Sometimes, he regrets picking a ten-year-old avatar for himself but he knows it's still for the better in the long run. And it wouldn't be that much longer, right? Maybe a few more months. Christmas isn't that far away. Maybe he'll get a bonus and that will be it. He can get rid of the game once and for all. They arrive at the MAGAMI building, less crowded that the streets of the city. "Pixen?" he calls out. "Is Pixen here?" She better be. Ronin doesn't like the feeling of wasting effort, and time.
