The feeling of entering the game was a bit weird. You knew that it was all in your head, yet at the same time a chill ran down the spine as the digital brain of everything created the player. Awaiting him was an orange looking dinosaur creature. Rush looked over the little guy, taking in the amazement that it belonged to him now. "So you must be my new buddy eh? What was your name again?"

The little digimon might as well had a red vein popping on it's forehead when it heard that. How could his partner even forget his name?! "It's Agumon ya dingus!" Rush just chuckled at the words. "Looks like someone has a bit of a temper."

Large, orange eyes blinked open, slowly a whole world materialized before them, people moving about and chattering with each other. Izumi couldn’t help but think this was a sort of paradise, a gamer’s utopia. She was still new to the system; her father had recently informed her about this thing “the ultimate tomboy adventure” he had called it. That was when she’d decided to find a capsule and register herself under the alias of Cloudchaser.

Her avatar was starkly uncreative; it looked just as she did in the real world right down to her shoulder-length brown hair – or as close as it could get to looking like her. “Ah! Cute!” She would turn and finally lay eyes on the puppy-like creature that swayed next to her. It smiled in quiet recognition.

After familiarizing herself with the basic controls, such as walking and interacting with her own digimon, she began exploring the world a touch, and she discovered another brunette – though his digimon was not nearly as adorable as hers was. She figured this would be a good way to test out the chat system. “Hello there!”

As the Agumon crossed his arms and glared at it's partner Raguna looked around the location they were at. It seemed that they were surrounded by other players just like himself. "Guess they weren't kidding when they said this game was pretty popular. Though I'm not really the people type...hey Agumon, know any places we could go to for some more..."exciting" fun?" It was only reasonable that his own monster from this game would know that answer correct?

Just as it was about to answer, a girl walked up to the duo with a simple greeting. "Hey there, I don't suppose your a bit of a...non-noob here are ya? I'm just wondering what to do next to be honest." Straightforward, that's how he wanted it. The girl before him was just someone who approached him and he wanted to get some good starter tips out of her. Though...there was the chance that she herself was a noob as well, if so then...they would probably need to help each other out.

“No, I’m sorry; I’m quite the noob actually. In fact, I just started today. I’m Cloudchaser.” She offered her hand to the male, smiling sweetly and shrugging her shoulders up slightly to show an apologetic side. She was sorry that she couldn’t quite be as much help as he hoped. “However, I had a chance to look over the map, some places seemed rather interesting to me. Wire Forest sounds the most promising to me if you’re looking to gain experience.” She paused, considering her own lack of experience in the game. “We could party up and explore together, two digimon would be stronger than one – we might be able to take on higher levels in that case and rank up sooner.” She paused, deliberating again. “If you’re the ambitious type, anyway.”

[rush]

The girl was indeed a newbie to the whole game. That was a bit of a shame, he was hoping that she had some experience, but at least she did something that he didn't do to give her an edge. She read the map. Now that made the man blush inside, he always did rush into things. "It's alright, I'm Rush by the way." he introduced himself to the girl.

She mentioned a place called Wire Forest where they could gain experience and take on strong Digimon. Now that sounded like the thing he wanted to hear. Plus the girl did have a point, two were always better than one in pretty much well, every situation. Plus why would someone pass up on the chance to have someone tag along and help them out anyway?

"Well that sounds grand actually, I am pretty ambitious to be the best one out there in this game anyway. So I don't mind if we do a little partying really, know the way to this "Wire Forest"?" he asked, energy running through every part of his body.

[kapella]

“Nice to meet you, Rush!” Izumi smiled sincerely, she was an amicable person, and being around others always made her feel infinitely better than when she was alone – and even if she was physically alone, in this virtual world there were folks all around! “Wonderful! I don’t know exactly where it is, but if we follow the map I’m sure we’ll get there lickety-split! Let me send you a party request, so that we can find each other if separated, and a friend request too, if you don’t mind.” Her avatar looked around as Izumi looked for the party functions, they were found within short moments though and Rush would find himself with two requests – the first to join her party, the second to allow her to add him to her contact list. “This is so exciting!”

[rush]

"Nice to meet ya too Cloud." he responded to her. She seemed like a nice young girl, one full of innocence just by her first impression alone. This was going to be so fun for the both of them, Rush could tell it in his bones. "Guess your leading the way huh?" he said to her as received two messages from her as she explained what they needed to do to get to Wire Forest. He accepted both requests happily and looked back to her. "Sure is, best be going now right?"

[kapella]

"I'll lead, yes, but it's a partnership, so if there's someone else that you'd like to get to let me know. Do you want to buy any items to prepare or are you ready?" Salamon padded around idly behind Izumi, it was enjoying time with it's digimon partner. Izumi, on the other hand, was still standing before Rush, grinning excitedly with her hands clasped in front of her chest. "If you're ready we'll start by heading north." She gave a nod and tilted her head to the right.

//do you want to progress in the wire forest or here a bit more?

[rush]

"I'm pretty good on items thank you very much." It wasn't like they were going to fight a big boss anyway. Right? Anyway, Agumon watched the Salamon walk around as it's partners talked about. She then asked if he was ready, well that was pretty obvious wasn't it? "Of course I'm ready. Let's head off then shall we?" Now it was time for the fun to start.

//I say we move this to Wire Forest now :3
