"So this is DO huh." She wondered as she looked at the oddly shaped buildings tucking her left hand into her sweater pocket, using her right to adjust her rainbow colored scarf. Bonnibel took about five or ten minutes to get used to her surrounds. Her partner, Gabumon followed her pace as he read her blank expression that hadn't seem to change much since they met and easily figured out how excited she was; something most can't normally do. "Ha ha, You seem pretty happy even though you've only been to one area." Gabumon laughed a bit as he stood close to his new friend being completely innocent in his statement as if Bonnibel was expressing her emotions like he was. But after making such a comment, Bonnibel's face flushed a deep red though she hid it quickly into her rainbow colored scarf. She was immediately surprised thinking Gabumon just took a lucky guess at what she was thinking. Shaking off the entire event as if nothing happened, her cheeks going back to their naturally peach colored look as she glanced over at Gabumon's wide and innocent smiling face while was he walked along side her. Bonnibel already thought this was going to be a long, yet not so boring journey.

(Oh my god, this sucks butthooooooooooole. No one is going to RP with me, are they? I'm sorry, If you see this shot me where I stand.)

his first thought in digimon online wasn't much different from what the girl had said aloud. he hadn't put much thought into it, but looking back, he realized that he had been no different from this girl -- bonnibel, her name said. hans walked through the streets, keeping a respectable distance from her. asuka city was filled with people like her, and hans enjoyed trailing them until they left the area.

he occasionally indulged them in some food or sightseeing, but charity was never a priority, only something done on whim and if he had no prior arrangements in place. his agumon trailed him, its emerald green eyes stark against the black scales of its body. he had opted for a subspecies of the popular choice, and while the snow variation had briefly captured his attention, it was merely a moment of interest before he moved on.

it's a gabumon. another popular choice.

[/color] the black agumon sighed, a wisp of wistful smoke slipping past its canines. so.[/color] it glanced at its tamer, metaphorical eyebrow raised after stating its piece.

today, edge. hans slipped his hands into the pockets of his jacket, and glanced at bonnibel and her gabumon. new here? he greeted the girl from a distance, raising a hand in greeting. it would immediately be apparent that he was no member of staff, for he lacked a red satellite or armband or any sort of identification. however, he had no intention of pretending to be one.

i mean, i'm not staff, but if i could help in some way. hans shrugged.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[bonnibel]

Bonnibel paused slipping her hands out of her pockets, using one to adjust her scarf again. "Hm?" She said as she turned to the person who offered his help. Her eyes stared at the player for a while. She questioned the fact he actually wanted to help, But it didn't matter she was having fun though her facial expressions didn't quite show it.

Gabumon was in caution. Of course, he didn't know whether they were after a fight or not and he didn't want to ruin Bonnibel's fun on her first day. But he stayed calm and greeted the two warmly. "You're offering your help? That's nice of you!" He asked. as he looked up at Bonnibel innocently his ruby red eyes sparkling.

[hans]

could i help. in some way. hans repeated his words, but it was apparent that he had stumbled over the sentence he had in mind. shrugging it off and continuing on as if he hadn't, hans turned to bonnibel's gabumon and gave it a nod. yes and no. i just believe that one good turn deserves another.

it wasn't uncommon to see experienced players giving the newer ones a guiding hand through the beginning of the game, as well as adding them to their friendlist later on should the new players have any questions in the future. hans had no objection to such an arrangement, but his intention was to make an acquaintance for the future and quests that may need more than one member to take on. he couldn't possibly rely on his own digimon; not only was that naive, but also foolish thinking.

he allowed his small smile to widen.

[bonnibel]

Bonnibel stared at Hans for awhile as he smiled keeping her calm, blank expression in check. But she was actually very happy someone offered their help which is something Gabumon noticed quickly but kept it to himself. "I see..." she replied as she turned and started walking expecting Hans to follow. "Do you mind showing me around then?" She asked bluntly. She continued to look around for a minute before they moved to a new area.

Gabumon of course followed Bonnibel happily. She paused and looked back at Hans and smiled for the first time since joining the game. "Well? Shall we get going?" she asked.

[hans]

hans remained where he was, watching, almost memorizing bonnibel's back as she started walking down and through the crowds. her gabumon trailed her, like any other digimon would -- he glanced at his own, who shrugged and jerked its head towards the other duo. locating them after losing their trail wouldn't be troublesome, as she was new, but it was a hassle hans would rather avoid.

he started off after her, and gave the girl a nod in return after she seemingly read his mind. yeah. he said, quickening his step. hans glanced around at the shops; they were of little interest to a player like him, but not for a recreational player -- which type the girl was, he had no idea, yet wasn't going to find out. you interested in quests, or?

[bonnibel]

"Quests?" She asked, looking straight ahead, not bothering to turn around. "You joined the game without knowing what quest were?" Gabumon replied. Bonnibel continued to walk ignoring him completely. I guess you can say Bonnibel wasn't exactly the type who learns by reading manuals or instructions. She learns by doing.

"Should we go and take on a quest?" Bonnibel asked looking at Gabumon, than Hans and his BlackAgumon.

[hans]

it was funny, how the girl had no idea what quests were. quests were a staple of any online game, simulated or played on some device -- hans found it hard to think of an rpg where quests weren't a staple. even shooters, or action games had objectives to them; even iq games that he racked his brain to find answers to had certain points to achieve and things to unlock. however, hans said nothing else, and kept his face clean of emotion save for an understanding smile.

sounds good to me. edge's agreement came as no surprise to hans; the virus-type was always raring to go for a quest, or to defeat some wild digimon. it was more than likely that its statement was to agree with hans, though; the tamer gave the other two a nod of confirmation before directing their attention towards a nearby npc.

the npc was easily identifiable by a differently-colored name and a designation to indicate its status. it looked no different from an average player, save for the exclamation mark above its head and a gaggle of other players (presumably new) gathering around it. hans didn't remember the npc, but he chalked it up to himself taking a different, alternative route around the game.

early quests are usually simple. defeat x species a number of times, or collect certain items to hand in. they're rather straightforward. i'm sure you'll have no trouble handling them alone.

[bonnibel]

"Alone, huh?" She mumbled under her breath, turning to her side to see gabumon standing right next to her. "What do you think?" She questioned. Bonnibel took off her sweater and tied it around her waist, grabbing the hair tie around her wrist, using it to braid her hair then placing it over her shoulder.

"We'll you be getting a quest as well?" She turned, placing her hands on her hips, her eyes as expressionless and cold as ever.
