Digiport 05

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[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.

[shewalks-away.livejournal.com]

[jogs over to catch up with his wandering]

Hold up. You need help or something?

[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.

[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.

[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?

[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?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

..I don't seem them at all.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

... [Rubs his face.]

Great. Just great.

[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.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

The codewalkers. They keep following me.

[shewalks-away.livejournal.com]

What, so it's like ghosts or something?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

Basically, but made up of data.

[shewalks-away.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's why I can't see them, like how only some people can see ghosts? I just haven't got the sixth sense you need for seeing that sorta data?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles, and rubs the back of his neck.] I'm not psychic in any way, though. I'm just one of the Chosen Children, and we're... just protectors of the Digital World. I think anyone who wandered into there could see those things.

[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.]

[lamb_of_gold]

...Are you well, Takeru?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm not sick or anything...

[lamb_of_gold]

And uninjured? [He may have bonked his head or something :S]
