asuna is japanese so how come she has orange hair?
maybe she has western genes ? idk anon its an anime.
I think its the anime artists to blame here, or fans just misjudging the lighting. The source material specifically states her hair is chestnut brown.
So... am I alone in thinking Digimon Adventure Tri Part 5 was a mess?
So Ive long toyed with the idea of writing some works for SAO. I’ve been iffy as I’ve not had much motivation to work on and finish my stories for other fandoms.
One idea I had always draws me back to SAO though. It would start out as a story focusing more on my own characters with the odd appearance from the main cast throughout Sword Art Online, which would generally go as the anime did.
But things would take a fairly sick turn once ALO rolls around. See, we’ve all gone and assumed Sugou was a pretty bad villain and was what soured a lot of people’s tastes of SAO. But what if his plan went further? We know that including Asuna, he had 300 ex-SAO players trapped for his experiments. We’re assuming this is all he had access to.
I’ve wondered if there may have been data left on SAO’s servers of it’s dead players. How much would it freak out Kirito and the others to see NPCs in ALO who’re the spitting image of those dead players?
Maybe Gennai’s old grandpa form made him confused and he thought there were only Eight crests… But how do you explain Homeostasis’ story?!
We saw only Eight eggs, digivices and crests.
Suddenly there’s a ninth crest and a ninth Chosen. Does this mean Homeostasis also made a mistake when they were telling the Chosen about their story?? That there were a ninth crest, digivice and egg??
Or did Gennai’s clones made a new crest for Ken to help him fight Milenniummon in a 02 version of the Wonderswan games’ story?
It is possible that when that episode was written, they hadn’t yet thought of the Crest of Kindness appearing in Zero Two?
RP Idea
Okay, have an idea for an RP, but I've so far not had much in the way of success for it. So, I come to you, Tumblr Digimon Community, to see what interest I can gather here.
The premise of it is that after an encounter with a magic wielding Digimon, Hikari has been turned into a porcelain doll and fallen into a deep sleep. The others have tried to track down the offender, but haven't had any luck. For some reason, HolyAngemon's healing powers have had no effect either.
Speaking to Gennai later reveals that he was aware of the Digimon that did this. It had been a measure to ensure the Digital World's safety from a threat that had been learned of through a prophecy, though Gennai himself was against the method the Digimon had proposed. The remaining Chosen Children were understandably angry at this, but had no alternative to offer. It takes some time, but they accept it and start thinking of ways to help Hikari, as it was unlikely she'd be able to wake up in their lifetime.
(This happens 2 years after Zero Two's events. How do you see the others helping her?)
Fast forward 200 years, and Hikari has been passed down through her family to the present day. She wakes up in very unfamiliar surroundings, though she soon discovers that humans and Digimon living in harmony is now the norm, and has been for some time.
What I'd like to RP, is Hikari getting used to her new surroundings, with the help of her new family and a number of others, all descended from her friends and family.
What I’m looking for is a couple people to help me flesh out this idea some more, and then to help me make a group account for this. Skype would be ideal.
Valley of the Dolls || DPaladinD
The witch Digimon was clearly amused at her new captive’s attempt at standing up to her. She noticed that the new girl didn’t seem afraid of her, but assumed that was down to her stopping the ginger haired doll from spilling any details. She would have time to change that.
Sayo kept quiet in Spellmon’s presence, being careful to not get on her bad side. All she could do was watch her companion’s actions, and had she been human, she would have paled at the thought of what Spellmon’s reply would be.
The defiant look in the brunette’s eyes quickly irritated the witch. It told her that this girl firmly believed she could get away, somehow. She hadn’t seen anything like this with any of the other captives. Spellmon reached into the toybox and picked up the other doll, knowing she wouldn’t offer any resistance, and began to lift her out. “That is something you don’t need to worry yourself with.” The witch answered.
Hikari’s gaze went back and forth between Spellmon and Sayo. Her ginger friend seemed intimidated by Spellmon, and although the digimon seemed quite threatening, she could only wonder why Sayo wouldn’t stand up against Spellmon with her.
Her breath faltered slightly as she figured that she would not have the support from Sayo she wished for. She sighed, her fists balled up to her sides and the same resting, defiant frown on her face. Her lips were pursed, “Well?” She blurted out, “Won’t you tell me?”
Just then, she saw Spellmon’s enormous hand reach into the toybox. Hikari breathed deeply, of course, if anyone hadn’t ever defied her, she suspected that she would probably get ‘punished’. To her surprise, it was Sayo whom she had taken. Her breath got caught in her throat as the witch replied to her.
“H-Hey! Where are you taking her? C-Come back!”
When the tiny brunette shouted up to her, Spellmon got more irritated. As she lifted Sayo out of the box, she turned her to look back in as she reached back in with her free hand. “I’m bringing it out of here for a little bit, that’s all you need to know.” She answered as she took hold of Hikari’s right hand between her finger and thumb, before starting to apply pressure between them. Sayo watched in horror as their captor did this, then lifted her from her feet, She knew what was coming, but didn’t dare to say anything in their captor’s presence. A small flash appeared around Hikari’s hand while Spellmon kept the pressure on. “You aren’t ready to come out of here yet, but you will be, soon enough.” She said as she dropped Hikari back down to the floor, before closing the toybox and leaving.
Valley of the Dolls || DPaladinD
Sayo thought for a few moments about how to answer the older girl’s question. She thought of the others that she’d met while trapped here, looking around into the darkness of the toybox.
"There have been others… some just keep to themselves, trying to come to terms with what Spellmon’s done to them. But a number have… been taken out of the toybox and they haven’t returned." Sayo explained. Her expression did not reveal how hard this was for her to explain, but her tone of voice made it all too clear.
When the toybox opened, a large shadow loomed over the pair. The figure was female in appearance, with grey skin, wearing a long blue robe. A gold bracelet could be seen at each of her wrists, with Digicode carved into it. A large witch’s hat sat on her head as she looked in, admiring her captives. She takes particular interest in Hikari. “Welcome to your new home, little one.” Her voice boomed over them.
Hikari’s eyes shook with worry as Sayo mentioned the kids who had completely disappeared. Her heart thumped loudly against her chest, trying not to imagine whatever Spellmon had done with them. As far as she knew, she hadn’t freed them and let them go back to the Real World, or wonder around the Digital World (if that was the case, they would’ve at least found one of them). Nonetheless, it was clear to hear that there were not other children in the toy box… or near them, in any case.
She flinched at the tone of her voice, unable to imagine how hard those times must’ve been for Sayo. However, all of her thoughts were interrupted as blinding light illuminated the toy box. Hikari instinctively looked up, although the light that comfortable fell against her skin was quickly covered again, and a large shadow loomed over the girls. If her heart’s pace was quick before, now it was thumping so fast it almost made her anxious. The shadow belonged to no other that Spellmon, or so she assumed.
A deep frown adorned Hikari’s usually serene face as the witch spoke to her. She stared at the digimon in spite, her lips pouting and her eyes filled with hate. “This is not my home, nor it is hers.”
Then, the brunette puffed her chest slightly, mustering all of the courage that seemed to run in her family, “Spellmon, tell us, where is Tailmon? Where are the others?”
The witch Digimon was clearly amused at her new captive’s attempt at standing up to her. She noticed that the new girl didn’t seem afraid of her, but assumed that was down to her stopping the ginger haired doll from spilling any details. She would have time to change that.

When the older girl placed her hands on Sayo’s shoulders, she wasn’t sure where her confidence was coming from when she spoke. It was clear Sayo had been stuck there for some time, so she was skeptical of what she was hearing.
However, as soon as the brunette tried and failed to say her name, Sayo sighed a little. “This is why I couldn’t tell you my name before, the same thing happens to me.” Sayo explained.”It gets easier to handle when you’re a doll.” She added.
If there was something Hikari had learned as a Chosen Children it was to never lose sight of hope, no matter how… well, hopeless the situation seemed. Once you lost sight of hope, you lost sight of light and if she did that she would just be giving up on herself, wouldn’t she? She wanted to let Sayo know that she wouldn’t give up on her for her life.
Hikari nodded slowly, slightly gaping. If Sayo wasn’t her real name… “You are one of the children that disappeared, aren’t you? You’ve been… all turned into a doll. Don’t you know if there aren’t any more children here?”
The brunette shuddered at the thought of becoming a doll. It was something that she had been avoiding thinking for the longest time she had been there, but when Sayo mentioned it, she couldn’t run from it anymore. Just then, as if to make things worse, the toybox was suddenly illuminated, as if the lid had been taken off. Hikari squinted her eyes, noticing the sudden shadow of a digimon that she was certainly unfamiliar with.
Sayo thought for a few moments about how to answer the older girl's question. She thought of the others that she'd met while trapped here, looking around into the darkness of the toybox. "There have been others... some just keep to themselves, trying to come to terms with what Spellmon's done to them. But a number have... been taken out of the toybox and they haven't returned."

She takes particular interest in Hikari. “Welcome to your new home, little one.” Her voice boomed over them.
Valley of the Dolls || DPaladinD
Sayo watched as Hikari took in what she was telling her. She wasn’t sure if it had sunk in that they were trapped here, and shuddered a bit at the thought of what Spellmon was going to put her through.
With the other girl’s change in tone, Sayo backed up a little. Her first impression of Hikari was that she was friendly and couldn’t see her getting angry much.
Regaining her composure, Sayo took to answer Hikari’s latest questions. She opened her mouth to speak, but began to feel warmth in her right leg. She touched it gently through her dress absentmindedly, before wincing a little. Knowing what the warmth meant, she corrected herself quickly. “You’ll have to wait. I… can’t say anything.”
Hikari immediately retreated and backed away a little in order to give the girl some space. Her tone of voice had most likely alarmed the ginger or maybe even scared her. She breathed shakily, the last thing she wanted to do was to lose the trust Sayo was beginning to have on her. Unconsciously, she sighed in relief when she noticed the girl regain her composure.
The brunette burrowed her eyebrows in worry as she noticed the girl suddenly wincing. She bit the inside of her lip instinctively looking at her up and down and noticing her hand slightly gracing her leg. Hikari took a step forward, trying to get a better look at it, but the darkness wasn’t helping much. She sighed. She hated this so much.
"Why… why can’t you?" The words left her mouth before she could realize it and immediately regretted it. She shook her head, "No, it’s fine… You don’t have to explain or anything." Hikari breathed deeply. If her guesses were right and it was Spellmon doing all this, then she wouldn’t want to risk her new friend’s welfare or putting her in any risk of getting hurt.
Hikari looked around worried and placed her hands on both of Sayo’s porcelain shoulders, “I’m gonna get us out of here, Sayo. I promise.” She reassured the girl, staring straight into her eyes, “I’m gonna get us out of here or my name isn’t -“ She suddenly felt as if something had punched all the air out of her stomach. Confusion was drawn all over her face as she tried again. “Why… Why can’t I say my name?”
When the older girl placed her hands on Sayo's shoulders, she wasn't sure where her confidence was coming from when she spoke. It was clear Sayo had been stuck there for some time, so she was skeptical of what she was hearing.
However, as soon as the brunette tried and failed to say her name, Sayo sighed a little. "This is why I couldn't tell you my name before, the same thing happens to me." Sayo explained."It gets easier to handle when you're a doll." She added.

Sayo shook her head in reply, moving somewhat stiffer than one normally would. “I don’t know… you can’t tell with this light. Sometimes its there, sometimes Spellmon turns it off to listen to us stumble around in the dark….”.
Little could be read from the dolled girl’s face as she said this, it seemed as though while she was able to speak, she couldn’t express herself much with her glass eyes, which appeared to be blue.
When Hikari held her shoulder, looking directly at her, Sayo nodded slowly.
Hikari nodded understandingly as she noticed the girl turn stiffer. She figured she would get uncomfortable at all the questions she’d been asking all at once. The brunette sighed, tucking her hair in her left ear. She also guessed that if she had been trapped in the toy box for as long as Sayo had, and in those conditions too, she would also have lost track of time. The girl could only wonder how Sayo and her had winded up there.
She bit her lips slightly as her eyebrows furrowed together, “Spellmon really sounds awful, Sayo-san…” But she couldn’t think of something else to say. If she was right about her… suspicions and inquiries then she couldn’t ask the ginger if she was sure she couldn’t get away.
The brunette stared at her new friend, looking directly at her shiny blue eyes that seemed almost like glass. Hikari had always had a good intuition about things so she tended to follow it, but this time it was different. She was just so sure about this. Hikari didn’t know if she should be scared or intrigued by the answer she was almost sure she would receive.
Needless to say, she wasn’t as surprised when the girl nodded. However, her heart stopped for a second when Sayo confirmed her suspicions. Although she already knew that she was mostly right about this, it scared her. How powerful could this Spellmon be to have done this atrocities? The girl shuddered.
Instinctively, Hikari cocked her head and blinked repeatedly. She gaped a little, her eyebrows furrowed back together again before she could say any words. “Sayo, how does she.. play with you? How did she this to you?” Her voice turned angrier as she spoke. It was needless to say that she was beginning to fully despise Spellmon.
Sayo watched as Hikari took in what she was telling her. She wasn't sure if it had sunk in that they were trapped here, and shuddered a bit at the thought of what Spellmon was going to put her through.
With the other girl's change in tone, Sayo backed up a little. Her first impression of Hikari was that she was friendly and couldn't see her getting angry much.

She touched it gently through her dress absentmindedly, before wincing a little. Knowing what the warmth meant, she corrected herself quickly. "You'll have to wait. I... can't say anything."
Is it me, or is the Digimon RPing fandom a very close knit group? I'm seeing new accounts being made recently, playing out a thread with one person I know, and within days, maybe even hours, those same accounts are roleplaying with everybody I know who's active currently.
Its nice to see, as everyone who I at least ask to start a thread with is someone who roleplays, or has roleplayed with someone I know and I've liked their work.
Also, I have a question for you all. Those of you playing the canon characters, how do you feel about doing a thread with OCs?
I ask, because I'm in the process of creating an OC for RPing on here, but a big part of her character included already meeting the majority of the canon Chosen Children, a few years after the end of Zero Two. I'll obviously explain those events on the About page, but I just wanted to get an idea what people thought beforehand?

Sayo nodded sadly. “I’ve been out of here but…” She trailed off as she reminded herself what usually happened to her on the outside.
"Its weird… she can leave us in here alone for ages at a time…. then just come take us out of here out of the blue and spend ages playing with us…" Sayo lowered her head as she said this, leaning back onto the large building block behind her.
When the brunette spoke, Sayo’s head shot up as she froze. She was hoping the older girl would never ask that question directly. She sighed, defeated as she got back up, walking slowly towards the light where Hikari was stood. As she got closer to the light, the ginger haired girl’s features became clearer to Hikari.
Seeing the sad look on her face, she decided not to question her any further. She couldn’t imagine what it must’ve been like for her, what she had gone through, how long she’d been hiding in this toy box. However, she did know what it was like to feel trapped in a never ending darkness, to the chased by it to no end. And if there was something she knew about those feelings, were that she would never want to talk about it. She wouldn’t want people constantly remembering her about what happened.
For a moment, she listened carefully to what the girl had to say. If she remembered correctly, she could say that the first disappearance was over four months ago, and until now, they had yet to find any traces. As time passed, more children began to disappear. They weren’t an insane amount, but… enough to make the Chosen worried.
Hikari bit her lip sadly, resisting the urge to pout. She truly wished this has happened earlier, before the situation got more serious. Honestly, she didn’t want to think what it was like living here, and then disappearing to be ‘played’ with for another while. She sighed, a worried look etched on her face “Sayo-san, how long have you been here?”
Soon, though, she found her previous question answered by the girl. And oh, how she regretted asking it. Seeing Sayo stand there in the light made her eyes widen. A look of anger tried to spread across her face, but it couldn’t. Was this what Spellmon had done? She glared in disgust at what the digimon had done. How dare she? How could she do this.
The girl, Sayo, was no different from others. From other porcelain dolls that many girls had played with when they were small. Quickly, the anger in her eyes was replaced by concern and worry. She held her by the shoulder, looking directly to her doll eyes, “She did this to you, didn’t she? Y-you’re a doll now, aren’t you?”
Sayo shook her head in reply, moving somewhat stiffer than one normally would. "I don't know... you can't tell with this light. Sometimes its there, sometimes Spellmon turns it off to listen to us stumble around in the dark....".
Little could be read from the dolled girl's face as she said this, it seemed as though while she was able to speak, she couldn't express herself much with her glass eyes, which appeared to be blue.
When Hikari held her shoulder, looking directly at her, Sayo nodded slowly.
Valley of the Dolls || DPaladinD
"Uh… I don’t see how we can do that?" Sayo answered, a little confused at the idea. But an idea was better than none, she supposed. She wasn’t sure how to feel about the other girl quickly brushing her off, but chose to not press the issue.
When Hikari started to look around, Sayo sighed a little. “There’s only one way out of here. Up there.” She said, gesturing to the roof. She hesitated a little before continuing. “You… might’ve figured out where she’s keeping us captive from what’s in here. To her, this is where we belong.” She added.
Hikari bit her lip, thinking through what she was going to say. She had thought that maybe they could use the nicknames to confuse the Spellmon. After all, if she had made Sayo unable to speak her name, then she could do them the same but with the nicknames…? The brunette looked around reluctantly, shaking her head. “No, I was just thinking about something but… I don’t think it would work out now that I think about it.”
As the ginger sighed and spoke once more, Hikari’s gaze switched, looking at the roof of the toy box they were in. She sighed, was this for real? A look of desperation fought to spread across her face, but she refused to let it be. She held the back of her neck, “Have you… have you by any chance ever gotten out?”
She was running out of options. She had no idea what to do except hope. Or they could try to make a hole in the wall or climb to the roof to escape, but… she was sure that there was another way out, “What about Spellmon? Does she come here often?”
The brunette bit her lip nervously once again, her shoulders tensing and freezing for a moment. “What… why does she think we belong… here?”
Sayo nodded sadly. "I've been out of here but..." She trailed off as she reminded herself what usually happened to her on the outside.
"Its weird... she can leave us in here alone for ages at a time.... then just come take us out of here out of the blue and spend ages playing with us..." Sayo lowered her head as she said this, leaning back onto the large building block behind her.
When the brunette spoke, Sayo's head shot up as she froze. She was hoping the older girl would never ask that question directly. She sighed, defeated as she got back up, walking slowly towards the light where Hikari was stood. As she got closer to the light, the ginger haired girl's features became clearer to Hikari.
Valley of the Dolls || DPaladinD
"We’ve never used them in front of her, no. If she knows, she hasn’t done anything about it." Sayo answered. She wondered what the new girl was thinking, but she knew whatever it was, she’d probably have to do it soon.
When Hikari suddenly approached her, Sayo instantly took a couple steps back. She thought it was best for the new girl to not get a clear look at her. As she did, she backed up against a large building block unexpectedly. Judging from the look in her eyes, Sayo thought she must’ve said something weird. This was clearly reversed after Hikari finished speaking. “…Wait, who are you talking about?”
Hikari closed her eyes, thinking. She was no Taichi or Daisuke, but as a Chosen Children, she was sure that she could come up with a plan. The brunette blinked repeatedly, gathering her thoughts, “If she doesn’t know about them… we could use them to our advantage, what do you think about it?” she smiled with a new gleam in her eyes.
Quick enough, the smile in her face disappeared as Sayo walked away from her. Her shoulders slumped. Honestly, this girl worried her so much. What was wrong? Why was she seemingly so… so afraid of Hikari? She blinked to the ground, but she wouldn’t let this bring her down. As soon as she realized that the girl didn’t know their real names, she chuckled nervously, “Ah, um… Nothing, just ignore me.”
The brunette smiled gently, trying to cover up her mistake. Of course. If the girl knew she was one of the Original 12, and here she was waiting for them to save her, only Qinglongmon would know how let down she’d feel when she found out that even she had been captured. As a Chosen, she knew she couldn’t let Sayo give up on hope. So, she looked around, trying to search for an exit, “Anyways, Sayo, do you know where we are? Or how to get out of here?”
"Uh... I don't see how we can do that?" Sayo answered, a little confused at the idea. But an idea was better than none, she supposed. She wasn't sure how to feel about the other girl quickly brushing her off, but chose to not press the issue.
When Hikari started to look around, Sayo sighed a little. "There's only one way out of here. Up there." She said, gesturing to the roof. She hesitated a little before continuing. "You... might've figured out where she's keeping us captive from what's in here. To her, this is where we belong." She added.
Valley of the Dolls || DPaladinD
Sayo shook her head. She was clearly down about this, it was something she didn’t want to explain. “Its the best I can do. Spellmon’s done something to us so we can’t speak our names. I thought up the idea of using nicknames, so we’d have something to call each other…”
The ginger haired girl listened silently while Hikari spoke. “Considering what she’s been doing to us here, I don’t think what we humans feel is something she cares too much about.” She spoke. Her tone gave off an angry, but helpless feel. She looked away from Hikari, before adding “I hope the original 12 find us soon…”
Hikari nodded understandingly, trying to find a connection with just… everything. Then, it was as if a lightbulb had lighten up above her head, “Spellmon, she works magic, right?” Her eyes shone, she felt like she was getting somewhere. If she was right, then the girl was surely under some sort of spell in which she could not say her name. It could also explain why she had woken up in a toy box, or why she was wearing different clothes. What she still failed to understand was… where was Tailmon?
Quickly, she smiled at the girl, “That was really smart of you, you know?” she commented, “Does Spellmon know of these nicknames?” she wondered outloud. It had just ovvured to her that they could use these nicknames in their favor.
The brunette bit the inside of her lip, she was beginning to dislike this Spellmon more and more by the second. Hadn’t she seen the bond formed by humans and digimon alike? Not only would she be hurting humans, but digimon for the most part. She sighed, about to comment on this when her attention was called by the next thing Sayo said.
Suddenly, there was an unending hope in her eyes, perhaps this girl knew more than she let on. Immediately, the bombarded the girl, approaching her quickly, “The original twelve? You mean… You mean like Taichi, Daisuke, Sora… all of them?
"We've never used them in front of her, no. If she knows, she hasn't done anything about it." Sayo answered. She wondered what the new girl was thinking, but she knew whatever it was, she'd probably have to do it soon.
When Hikari suddenly approached her, Sayo instantly took a couple steps back. She thought it was best for the new girl to not get a clear look at her. As she did, she backed up against a large building block unexpectedly. Judging from the look in her eyes, Sayo thought she must've said something weird. This was clearly reversed after Hikari finished speaking. "...Wait, who are you talking about?"
Valley of the Dolls || DPaladinD
-
The ginger haired girl seemed to hesitate a little at being asked for her name. It served to make her even more conflicted about how to explain the answers that Hikari wanted to know. She looked down to the floor, trying to figure out how to best explain.
The girl looked up again a few moments later, hiding her hands behind her back as she began to speak. “U-um… you c-can call me Sayo…. “
Still unsure how to explain what was going on, the girl took a deep breath to try calm herself a little, before deciding to explain what little she knew. “I don’t.. know all the details… but we’re being held prisoner here by a Digimon named Spellmon. I don’t know why but… she wants us humans out of the Digital World, and her taking us is meant to scare people away.” She explained.
Seeing the girl hesitate at the question only worried Hikari more. She wanted to approach her, but the fear that she might scare the girl beat her to it, so she didn’t move a muscle. The brunette took a deep breath, trying to understand the movements, the feelings of the ginger girl, but she found herself stuck in the same place she was at the beginning.
What threw her off completely was the girl’s -Sayo- name. She thought back to the time when Miyako and Sora listed her the names of the missing Chosen. She remembered having a list saved in her pocket of her skirt, but as far she remembered, there were no ‘Sayo’s or a name similar to that one in the list. She bit the side of her lip, thinking. “Is that a nickname you go by? Do you think you could tell me your real name?”
Hikari took a deep breath, bracing herself for the story yet to be told. She saw her, she saw her alteration and her uncomfortableness. If given the chance, she wouldn’t make her tell her. But she needed to know what was going on. She needed to know where they were, who was keeping them here, who was doing all this.
Slowly, but surely, blood started to boil inside of her. She frowned, “What? But doesn’t she know how many kids have partners nowadays? It would destroy them to not be able to see them anymore! Why… why would she want to do something so horrible as this?” her voice faded into a mere whisper, “Hasn’t she realized how many hearts would be broken because of what she’s doing?”
Sayo shook her head. She was clearly down about this, it was something she didn't want to explain. "Its the best I can do. Spellmon's done something to us so we can't speak our names. I thought up the idea of using nicknames, so we'd have something to call each other..."
The ginger haired girl listened silently while Hikari spoke. "Considering what she's been doing to us here, I don't think what we humans feel is something she cares too much about." She spoke. Her tone gave off an angry, but helpless feel. She looked away from Hikari, before adding "I hope the original 12 find us soon..."
Valley of the Dolls || DPaladinD
The girl took a step back, not wanting to alarm Hikari any further. She appeared to only be just about getting her bearings since waking up in this strange place. "But…" She reasoned within her own mind. "She’ll see me when… ‘she’ comes for us anyway…" She thought.
"…Haven’t you seen what you’re wearing?"
As the girl stepped back, Hikari couldn’t help but want to approach her even more. She didn’t, though, since the girl was obviously uncomfortable as it was. How did she end up in this situation? At that moment, she didn’t know who was the ‘she’ she was referring to. Both of them were stuck in this together, whether they liked it or not, and at least she wasn’t sure how she got there.
The brunette snapped back into reality when she noticed the girl looking conflicted all by herself. She could easily see the internal conflict going on, and all she wanted to do was hug the girl, help her out, tell her that everything was going to be fine even if she wasn’t so sure about that. With the same worry splattered in her face, she spoke, “Is everything okay? What’s your name, girl?”
Before she could ask any more questions, the girl got her chance. For the first time since she had woken up, Hikari looked at herself. She was no longer wearing her flowing pink skirt with her digivice strapped onto it and yellow shirt, but something that looked more like sleeping gown. It was pink, with puffy sleeves and a vest on top, with the crest of light in the center. The skirt went down to her knees, and she was apparently barefoot.
Looking up, slowly, noticing that the girl was wearing a dress similar to hers, her eyes shook in fear. “What’s going on?”
The ginger haired girl seemed to hesitate a little at being asked for her name. It served to make her even more conflicted about how to explain the answers that Hikari wanted to know. She looked down to the floor, trying to figure out how to best explain.
The girl looked up again a few moments later, hiding her hands behind her back as she began to speak. "U-um... you c-can call me Sayo.... "
Still unsure how to explain what was going on, the girl took a deep breath to try calm herself a little, before deciding to explain what little she knew. "I don't.. know all the details... but we're being held prisoner here by a Digimon named Spellmon. I don't know why but... she wants us humans out of the Digital World, and her taking us is meant to scare people away." She explained.
