Sorry for the wait. Post is up!

D:\World\DigitalShift\The Yokai Incident\

Collab with @Zelosse

Having only met Taiji when the boy was much younger in the darkness of Taiji's collapsed home and partially thanks to mild data loss from having been reborn after the Yokai Incident, Gil did not immediately recognize Taiji. But seeing the other digimon pair off with the other humans, Gil noticed the look of terror in Taiji's face, not realizing that Gil was the source of Taiji's terror. He didn't like the idea of the boy being alone and terrified, so he offered some assurance, "Welp, looks like we're partners, kid. It's alright, it's okay. I know you're confused, but don't worry, while you're here, you can leave everything up to me until we figure this all out!"

its alright, its ok!

Those words! The holy mantra of Ogata Taiji given unto him by the storyteller, they who had spoken in the darkness until the light had come! This was Gilgamesh wasn't it?! The being who had saved him from the collapse and vanished into motes of light as Taiji had been pulled from the rubble.

"Pa-partners? Like- you and me are teammates? Who the fuck just decides this kind of thing! Where the hell are we, who are you, what are you, THIS IS- Fuck, fuck fuck fuck, no, no! I'm hallucinating! This isn't real!"

Taiji's hands shook as he reached for the medicine in his coat pocket, fumbling the cap open to a mild sedative type pill he took as his heart began beating rapidly. Confronted with a ghost too real and a place too strange he was on the verge of quite likely the biggest panic attack of his life! The fistful of pills in his hands was also an overabundance! Taking that many... might be fatal.

This wasn't going well, instead of calming Taiji down, Gil had somehow only exacerbated the situation. "Woah there, kid, now's not the time for candy!" Gil said completely unaware of the implications of drugs and the possibility of a fatal overdose. But Wisemon's appearance caused Gil to turn around and face the much more powerful digimon and listen to it's accusations. Though Gil was ready to defend everyone behind him with his life, he knew he was outclassed, and that little trepidation in his heart caused him to apprehensively take a step back, resulting in him bumping into Taiji's shins and causing Taiji to scatter his pills on the ground.

"Wh- HEY! I NEED THESE!" Taiji's pills were life and death, in a sense. life meaning the continuation of existence without being overwhelmed and death because taking that many can and would have likely killed him. The only thing stopping them from taking those pills off the ground was the approach of Wisemon and a mild germophobia. The accusations and the strange speech of the larger monster had Taiji on the ropes mentally, heightened heartbeat, sweaty palms, and knuckles turned white from clenching so hard. There were far too many things happening with each and every thing here only making his sensitive mood swing wildly from one extreme to the other.

To be accused of theft and threatened for it was the last straw.

"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!"

"Oh! Sorry about that. I'll help you gather them later. We have some bigger problems to deal with right now," Gil apologized. But when Taiji lashed out, Gil hoped that exuding calm would soothe the riled up boy. "I think he's the owner of this library," Gil added unhelpfully, then empathized with Wisemon, "If I found strangers in my home, I'd be pretty ornery too. But I think the Renamon is right." He gestured with his head to the humanoid fox digimon before continuing, "I think a majority should go look for this book of his, while a minority should remain and hold him off. I volunteer to stand my ground."

With that, Gil turned his attention back to Wisemon, and widened his stance for stability. He had died once defending someone, he could do it again. Sure, he had just recently gotten strong enough to attain his Armadimon digivolution again, and it sucked to have to lose all that progress and growth all over again, but what was the point of living, if not to live by one's own code?

A Guild Adventure: An RP with Monster Girls! (ENDED)

Vivian & Sylvia Altissima

@PaulHaynek @13org @Rezod92

"Ah, the cookies aren't quite available yet," Sylvia replied to Kira, "Our nectar is too potent to use by itself, and needs to be alchemically counterbalanced with other herbs. That's mostly what the greenhouse will be used for."

Afterwards, the sisters made their way to the kitchen. "We're making pies, pastas, and pastries!" Vivian exclaimed excitedly in response to Bart's inquiry. As a baker, these were her specialties, and to a degree, the limits of her repertoire. Hopefully no one was on a carb-free diet. However, the minor awkwardness that occurred between Bart and Neil made the sisters, especially Sylvia, visibly uncomfortable.

"Hey Bart, I know we haven't been here for very long, but are you planning on keeping Neil in the Guild?" Vivian asked, though this question prompted a swift punch from Sylvia. "What I mean is," Vivian said sharply, rubbing her upper arm where she was hit, and shooting Sylvia daggers with her eyes, "He's a part of this Guild, isn't he? Sylvia and I don't always get along, but we make up afterwards. I mean, we have to, we're literally attached at the hip, but you're connected too, through the Guild. I'm not saying you should apologize to him, and maybe the best you can do is agree to disagree, but this awkwardness hurts more than it helps, and if you think no one else feels or sees it, then you've got another thing coming. The longer this festers, the more people will be forced to pick sides, and that leads to a widening of the rift. I know, members of a family are supposed to protect each other, not jeopardize each other, but more importantly, family's forgive. It doesn't have to be tonight, but think about it, okay? I remember the proud look on your face when you invited us the the Guild. But this uncomfortable aura isn't something to be proud of, it doesn't feel like family."

A Prompt for a slow-paced Space Pulp Venture

I'm keeping an eye on this

D:\World\DigitalShift\The Yokai Incident\

Me and Zel are working up a short collab post. Thank you for your patience.

D:\World\DigitalShift\The Yokai Incident\

Buck's probably gonna pull a Leeroy Jenkins on Wisemon. Anyone up for following that lead?

@PsyBlade

Gil just might

D:\World\DigitalShift\The Yokai Incident\

An earthquake. God King Gilgamesh closed his eyes. It had been a literal lifetime ago since the incident. Out here in the open plains of the Digital World, earthquakes were less dangerous since there was no risk of anything falling on you, and being a four-legged creature, Gil wasn't going to lose his footing and crack his head open no matter how intense the shaking. So unless the earth split open directly beneath him, he was relatively safe. But inside a building, where tremendous weight could collapse on you, that was where the real danger lay.

Gil reminisced about the moment of his death. Gil had found himself in a building in a strange new world. He had been quietly exploring his new environs when he found a child sleeping. However, another, larger digimon had materialized outside and went on a rampage. The violence and destruction it wrought not only woke the child, but caused the building to lose structural integrity and collapse. Gil remembered bracing his armored back to the falling rubble and preventing the child from coming to harm, but they were buried, and keeping the rubble from crushing the child had prevented Gil from doing anything else. The child was understandably frightened, and with no other recourse, All Gil could do was reassure the child. Yes, that was when he chose his name, formed of a random, stray piece of data that happened to be part of Gil's digital essence. He had to exude strength and courage, even if he was lying, even if he was in pain. Gil had introduced himself as "God King Gilgamesh", omnipotent and invincible, conqueror of nations. For hours, Gil regaled the child with made up stories of his heroic and awe-inspiring deeds, but always reminding the child that the most noble of deeds was helping those in trouble. Gil wasn't sure how long his digital body would last, as his strength was slowly sapping away and he could feel his final hour approaching. But his worries had been washed away as the sound of digging and rays of light began seep through the rubble. The last thing Gil saw was the looked of overjoyed relief on the child's face as rescue workers pulled him from the remains of his collapsed home. Closing his eyes, Gil felt his body dissipate into bits of data and return to the Digital World to be reborn.

Gil opened his eyes as the rumbling dissipated and the swirling, churning sensation of vertigo in his stomach had subsided. Since then, he had spent his time training, until he had achieved his Armadimon form again. But he needed to be stronger. Last time, all he could do was delay harm, he hadn't been strong enough to rescue the child by his own power. And with all the chaos happening in the Digital World, it was time to step up and do something about it. But as Gil opened his eyes, he realized he was in a different place entirely. Apparently the vertigo had been from teleportation and not merely from the earth shaking beneath his feet. Here he was surrounded by shelves of books and several digimon. Several beings appeared through a portal, confused and disoriented; humans. From the looks of things, the humans seemed to be 'reuniting' with the digimon, which was a relief since that at least meant that the humans had some comfort despite their strange situation. Deciding to take the lead, Gil called out, "Worry not! We find ourselves in an unfamiliar place. I do not know what is happening, but I'm sure if we work together, we'll find a solution." Gil put on a smug smile in the hopes that confidence, albeit false, will reassure everyone present.

Just Another Hero

Here is my character idea:

Osameru Kyouran, Dieselpunk

Databook on Osameru Kyouran

---

One detail of NOTE. There is a bear trap permanently fused to her jaws, so she actually kind of looks like this:



_Name

Osameru Kyouran

_{Hero Name}

Dieselpunk

_Root

Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City, Japan

_{Physical Elaboration}

With dark skin, shoulder-length platinum hair, Matrix-binary green eyes, and a healthy, attractive physique, Kyouran would be primed to be a popular heroine were it not for the fact that a childhood accident has left a literal bear-trap replacing her jaw.

Legend

---

_{Characterization}

Kyouran is chummy and honorable, with all the chivalry of a typical hot-blooded Japanese punk with none of the insecure aggression. She readily makes 'bonds of brotherhood' with people who have impressed her in any way. She is a tomboy who likes to get down and dirty and believes that physical contact is integral to 'brotherly' bonding. She has a tendency to joke and just let things roll off her shoulder so it's very difficult to know when something is actually bothering her. Kyouran has poor self-control when it comes to her emotions and indulgences, preferring to live life like a firework, to experience all she can and go out in a blaze of glory. But she is level-headed enough to recognize when those smarter than her have well laid-out plans for her to follow. This is all in contrast to her rich and privileged upbringing. Despite being a daughter of the Osameru Conglomerate, Kyouran is rather dimwitted and quite lacking in propriety. One part of her wealthy background does show though, she is a big spender, and can be demanding at times.

_Past

Kyouran has always been the black sheep firecracker among her siblings. While they were being groomed to inherit their parents' business and legacy, Kyouran slacked off, had no head for business, and engaged in activities her parents' associates would not approve of. Still, Kyouran and her siblings couldn't all inherit their parents' wealth, so her parents kind of just gave her up for a lost cause and let her do what she wanted. But her fate was sealed when a prank gone wrong (self-inflicted) leaves her permanently disfigured. With a bear-trap attached to her mouth, she would never be the face of the Osameru Conglomerate. But this only gave her the freedom to forge her own path. And despite knowing that publicity and image mattered a lot for the field, Kyouran decided she would become a hero.

_Vision

Kyouran is somewhat in over her head and needs to learn teamwork and how to fight more intelligently, as well as ho to utilize her quirk for something other than getting into a giant robot brawl, like rescue, and taking advantage of all the wonders of modern communications technology.

Competencies

---

_Quirk

"Robots in Disguise" allows Kyouran's body to fuse with machines.

_Mechanics

Kyouran has the ability to fuse mechanical or metallic objects into her body for fifteen minutes, after which intense pain will cause her to reject the 'implant'. Her jaw is a permanent example of what happens if a mechanical piece stays attached to her body past the time limit. This quirk doesn't give her enhanced strength, only enhanced durability for whatever part of her body has been temporarily replaced with a mechanical object. She has developed the ability to harness force-generating aspects of machines such as pneumatics, hydraulics, engines, motors, servos, etc. which do enhance her strength. She is also able to meld with electronic devices, which can give her the ability to tap into radio signals or hack other machines, if only she was actually smart enough to do so. The ultimate manifestation of this ability is if she takes on more machines than the actual volume of her body. This essentially allows her the transform into a giant humanoid mech that vaguely resembles an amalgam of the machine parts used to create her robot body.

Though this is usually limited by the amount of spare machinery around that she can incorporate into her body, fortunately, she has a heavy industries company backing her, making robot parts for her. Of course, becoming close with students from the support classes will also help tremendously.

_{Other Talents and Traits}

Kyouran is stronger and has slightly higher endurance than a normal quirkless individual due to being scrappy and getting into brawls often as a kid. Though not a talent, Kyouran is rich, and has a large tech company backing her whims. The bear trap on her jaw does provide her head and face with some protection, and can act as a natural weapon if someone is close enough for her to bite them.

_Theme

Born! The King of Braves!
