Digiport 05

[Takeru's looking considerably less composed today. It's not that easy to keep yourself held together when you already have a rather tenuous grasp on sanity and are seeing... things. He's walking around, muttering to himself. Or to something no one else can see.]

Go away. Stop staring at me. You're not there.

You're just codewalkers. Fragments of data... but you can't possibly be here.

Leave me alone.

[He's wandering from place to place on the Plane, not staying in one place for very long.]

[[ooc; Experiment start!]]

[Naturally, Shun is a bit concerned about this type of behavior. He watches for a while before going up to him]

Are you okay?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[A person? Oh... is this person real or... well, they must be. They're talking to him. Codewalkers don't talk.]

I'm fine. It's just random bits of data. Nothing to worry about.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Bits of data? [He glances around] I don't see anything.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

Of... of course. They're...

[He blinks, and looks over to the left for a moment, before looking back at Shun.]

You don't? But they're there. They're right there... walking around, not speaking.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

..I don't seem them at all.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

... [Rubs his face.]

Great. Just great.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

What are exactly are you seeing?

[shewalks-away.livejournal.com]

[jogs over to catch up with his wandering]

Hold up. You need help or something?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[Huh who what where - oh.]

No, I'm fine. They just won't leave me alone.

[shewalks-away.livejournal.com]

They? Who's they?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

They. The... [He points somewhere off to his left, where one can see... nothing. |D ]

The codewalkers.

[shewalks-away.livejournal.com]

[looks to her right, his left, confused, then back to Takeru]

There's nothing there. Hold up, what's a codewalker?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

You can't see them?

Mm. Chosen Children who have died in the Digital World aren't reincarnated like Digimon are. The system... doesn't seem like it can handle them. Instead they just wander around like... incomplete copies.

[lamb_of_gold]

Takeru?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[Looks up.] Mu. You can see them, too, can't you?

[lamb_of_gold]

[Aw shit] See who, Takeru?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

The codewalkers. They keep following me.

[lamb_of_gold]

Apparently not here.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

But they are here. They're right over there. [He glances over to his left.]

[he waits, for a moment, before approaching; his voice is gentle but forceful when he does] Takeru, it's the Doctor. Can you hear me?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[He looks up.] Of course I can hear you.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[his smile is relieved, but he remains concerned] Glad to hear it. [softly, the smile fading] What do you see?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

Codewalkers. Data fragments. Digital ghosts. Whatever you want to call them.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

...On the Plane?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

Yes. I don't know how they followed me here. And there's more than I've ever seen before.
