[index error] fourth wall

[digitalorunknown]

[The form-restoring effect didn't hit Dorumon until he got involved in a computer-related mishap at the Violet City Pokemon Center. His Pokemon vanish into the PC, and he...

...is sent careening across Kan-Joh's cyberspace. When he's not being dumped in front of PC stations in Pokemon Centers, he's being bodily ejected from the communications network via people's Pokegears. Be careful turning yours on today - a three-foot beastdragon may come flying out haphazardly.]

[Huh. That's not normal.

...Which actually is normal for this time of year, so that's fine. Plus, fluffy dragon!]

Uh... Hey, little guy, you okay?

[digitalorunknown]

Ow...

[The fluffy dragon spits out some grass and shakes his head woozily, standing up. He glances back at Hiccup to see who the voice came from.

Then looks up.

Then backs up a bit and looks up again.]

...Aren't you...? [Headtilt. Can't see your face from quite the right angle to tell, dude...]

[newberktown]

[Jeez, was Berk the only other world where dragons couldn't talk? What the heck.

That voice does seem familiar, though, so Hiccup helpfully crouches down to be more on the same level.]

I'm Hiccup. We've met, right?

[digitalorunknown]

[GASPU]

It is you! [He bounces a little on his toes.] It's me, Dorumon! I'm back to normal!

[newberktown]

[Oh no, he's cute.]

Wow, Dorumon! Look at that. How's it feel?

[From what he'd seen, non-humans usually felt better once they were back to being non-humans. Most of them didn't go flinging out of random electronics, though...]

[rarestcandy]

[He's not the only one experiencing...erm, technical difficulties, which Dorumon might notice as he flies out of the 'gear. Luckily, Vanellope's are less likely to cause bodily harm of some kind.

Doesn't mean she's too pleased with turning into a mass of blue pixels for a second.]

Hey!

[digitalorunknown]

[He lands on his back with a yelp and quickly rolls over onto his side to curl up and cringe. Ow ow ow.

When Vanellope flickers, his eyes get huge and he lets out a little gasp.]

Are you okay?!

[rarestcandy]

[Getting to her feet, Vanellope brushes herself off, frowning and eying up this strange purple thing. She hadn't heard of any pokemon things that could talk...]

I'm fine. You shouldn't go flying at people, though.

[Grumble grumble, gotta pick up the 'gear and make sure it isn't broken. A dragon-fox flying out of it wasn't exactly a good sign.]

[digitalorunknown]

I didn't do it on purpose. [hgggk standing back up. Shaking off.] Something really weird is going on today...

[...he still keeps giving her concerned glances, though. That kind of visual effect is never a good sign.]

[rarestcandy]

Wow, good observation, genius.

[Satisfied that it's not her 'gear that's borked, Vanellope goes back to watching the weird thing. She's not liking the look of those glances.]

How come you jumped out of the pokegear if you didn't do it on purpose?

[chosen_light_child]

[Wait wait wait wait monsters were not supposed to come out of pokégears that didn't make any sense.

Of course, Hikari wasn't really that hurt by having giant furry dragon slamming into her.

And it was obvious that this thing wasn't a pokémon though.]

Umm... hi there. Are you... a Digimon?

[digitalorunknown]

[dfjkdff;gfnhngn crashing into everything today.

He's shaking his head woozily when he hears "Digimon"; his eyes get very big and his ears go straight up in response. Dorumon sits up and nods emphatically.]

[chosen_light_child]

[Hikari smiles, and can't help but stare at him. This was... well, not unexpected with everything going nuts, but still surprising at the same time.]

It's really nice to meet you. What's your name? You don't look like any Digimon I've ever seen before.

[digitalorunknown]

I'm Dorumon. [He gets to his feet slowly, watching her.] How do you know about Digimon?

[chosen_light_child]

It's nice to meet you Dorumon!

[Hikari smiles at him, before answering.]

Well... I've been to the Digital World before. Or a Digital World. There's actually more than one of them.

[Apollo is difficult to sneak up on; he pays enough attention to his surroundings that it's next to impossible to get close without him noticing. Unfortunately for him, there was no way for him to know that checking the network would result in a beastdragon hitting him in the face, and he isn't able to even begin to avoid the impact.

brb lying on ground now. He'll be okay in a minute.]

[digitalorunknown]

[Same. Dorumon could swear he ends up a little dizzier every time this happens.

He spits out some grass and sits up, sighing.]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

[When Apollo recovers and sits up he sees the strange animal in front of him and immediately tries to use his powers to communicate with it, only to find that he can't. He blinks in confusion. An animal that he can't use telepathy on?]

What are you?

[He'll ask in the odd chance that it understands human language, because otherwise he has nothing.]

[digitalorunknown]

I'm a Digimon. [He sounds a little tired. That voice familiar?]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

[Apollo recognizes that voice, or at least thinks that he does.

The mun also realizes that they haven't exchanged names yet, have they?]

We've talked on the gears before, haven't we?

[enjoymyatelier]

[yeah so Kayneth was turning on his Gear to see if anyone he knew had shown up when he gets hit in the face with a beastdragon

being a mage he has a high pain tolerance but that doesn't prevent him from just being bowled over and lying there in complete and utter bewilderment as his brain tries to process this situation so the rage can kick in...

which should be in 3

...

no he's still just bewildered here]

I...

What?

[digitalorunknown]

[It keeps happening.

The only reason Dorumon doesn't take his time getting up is that he's lying on something that's talking, and in his experience, things that talk are not very good places to be. He rolls off of Kayneth as quickly as he can and...you know what, let's not progress beyond that unless the talking thing turns out to be aggressive.

He just lies there for a moment.]

Sorry. [...sounding very done with today.]

[enjoymyatelier]

[RAGE ERROR RELOAD FROM START]

...What are you, and why did you just... do whatever you did?

[digitalorunknown]

I've..been going in and out of the network all day, and I can't control it. [He scootches away from Kayneth a little, not feeling very comfortable talking to an adult.] I'm Dorumon.

[enjoymyatelier]

...well, I suppose if things are going completely haywire for you, it can be excused...

[...there is a hint of "unless there is a way you can figure out how to and you haven't been paying enough attention to figure it out yet" in his tone.]

How are you even doing that, anyway?
