A new day presented itself as Noah woke up from sleep and as he reluctantly rolled over in his bed to look at the time, he discovered it was only 7 am. No matter however, he could get up and get an early start on video gaming after some routine tasks that involved waking up a bit more. It was a calm, sunny Saturday which, despite meaning no school, meant it was hopefully the start of a better week as it had been overcast and raining most days this past week. With a small sigh, Noah got out of bed and went to take care of those routine tasks. It appeared his parents were still asleep, however Eve was already up and in the kitchen wearing a matching set of pink pajamas, she gave a small wave as she ate a bowl of cereal whilst playing on her phone. She had recently downloaded an app that in essence was similar to Tamagotchi, basically she had some sort of monster hatch from an egg and now she had to look after it to make sure it didn't die. It was apparently a bit of a craze but Noah didn't think much of it, it was just a virtual pet game and nothing really stood out about it other than the art. Noah gave a casual wave back before moving his hair out of his eyes and going to the fridge, pouring himself a glass of orange juice and retreating back up into his room. Noah sat at his desk and turned his computer on and waited for it to boot up which didn't take too long, thankfully. He opened up his internet browser and e-mail as well as another program that let him talk with a variety of groups he had joined, mainly to do with video games and forums. His e-mail was more or less the same, some promotion stuff but nothing worth actively looking at. As he opened up the launcher to his favorite MMO, he received a message on his computer; Wake Up At Shibuya Train Terminal. Noah opened it out of curiosity, someone had sent him this on the chat program he used, that said someone could only send you a message if they knew your full username which had four random numbers added to it. He hadn't given it to anyway recently. Had someone hacked a list of usernames? Whilst possible it did seem unlikely. With a shrug, Noah simple ignored it and started up his MMO as he took a swig of his orange juice. He played for about an hour before the same message was received. Noah simply replied with a question mark to which he got the exact same response, it was at this point that he simply just blocked the user and returned to what he was doing. Another hour passed and the message popped up again. Hadn't he blocked the user? Noah checked and indeed he had blocked the user, whose name didn't even make sense, it was just a bunch of random symbols. Whoever this person was he, or she, was able to hack into the chat program. Noah groaned before he typed; Fine, what is it? There was a pause and the person replied; Come And See Better Come Soon! And just like that, the user was actually blocked. Noah rubbed his head, it wasn't even 10am yet and threw his hands up slightly before locking his computer and getting dressed so he could get to the Train Terminal and find out what was going on.

John awoke as his alarm went off, drowsily he looked at the time, "9:00, ugh why did I choose to set it before noon on a Saturday?" Rubbing his eyes, Jon decided to get up and check his computer and saw that his uncle was trying to contact him, "... Oh right, I sent uncle Dan an email last night to ask him about what happened in class yesterday, sigh, why didn't I ask for another time?.", He sat down after getting some water, "Although I can't tell him upfront about digimon I don't know if he just found it or bought it from someone, until I know for sure I need to be vague."
After taking a sip he opened video chat and his uncle greeted him. "Ah John, nice to see you again, how was school yesterday?" "It was fine, certainly interesting to say the least, but school isn't what I wanted to talk to you about, well it kind of is but anyway." John picks up, and brings into view his digivice, "It's about this, one of my classmates told me about it and what it's used for, now I have a lot of questions for you, but let's start with, why did you have this?" For a moment, Danial didn't answer, a furrowed brow showed on his face, but then he replied with his normal happy demeanor. "If they told you about the digivice then you must know about them as well, or maybe you don't, if the latter is true then I can't tell you yet. So here's the deal, you are to go to the train terminal and use that device on the gate to a shut down terminal, this gate will only open to that device or something like it, however if you still want to have as normal a school life as possible then going on that train will make that harder to accomplish. I know I've been purposefully cryptic on this, and that must be frustrating for you, but I'm doing this for your own well being. I promise you that I will tell you everything once you go there, and when you come back and you're concerned about telling me what's there, you can rest assured that I know everything, and I do mean everything." John had a somewhat confused look on his face, "That won't be necessary I know abou-" Just then, an alarm went off on his uncle's side, a red light flashing in the background. "Oh dear, uh your gonna need to hold on to that thought until later, something has come up and I need to take care of it, let me know if you went there or not, have a good day bye."
Danial said this as he closed the call, a look of frustration was slowly creeping on John's face, "... Oh he had better have a good answer for this, I'm getting pretty sick and tiered of not getting any proper explanation from that guy, sigh, but he did give me a place to go so I might as well see what it is." As he said that he heard his stomach growl. "Right after breakfast." John fixed some cereal and toast, then freshened up in the bathroom, after that he got dressed in his casual cloths, put his device and phone in his pants pockets, and grabbed his book bag, which felt heavier then usual, then left for the train station. The reason for his book bag having more weight to it is because last night, Viximon got in his bag to see if she would fit and fond it comfy enough that she wanted to stay in it for a little bit before moving to her hiding spot where she usually sleeps, unfortunately for her she fell asleep while in it and has yet to wake up.

Well, this has been quite the journey so far. The holo-suited digimon thought as he tried wiping spilled ice cream off his button up shirt. He was currently seated on a bench under a tree located in Hachinko square, simply watching as people passed by while eating some ice cream. Well, he was, until when he went bring the ice cream towards his mouth it rolled off the cone and onto his shirt, which he was now trying to clean off of said shirt, letting out a quiet curse here and there. Luckily no one was close enough to hear him curse, seeing how everyone was giving him a wide berth due to his appearance. For good reason to, his disguise stood over seven feet tall, his body was incredibly thin with little visible muscle mass, cheeks and eyes sunken in. The only real normal thing about his appearance was his hair, a mop of hair slicked back aside from a pair of bangs hanging in front.
The fact K had actually managed to convince him to visit the human world still amazed him. He had brought up the idea of wanting to visit some place he hadn't yet, 'a change of scenery' as he put it. First thing she said was to visit the Human World. It was a long discussion, but he finally relented, and after purchasing a holo-suit he found himself in the Human World visiting their 'mall', visiting the park, trying out some of the human food in a restaurant, and then in Hachinko square eating ice cream and people watching (He blamed K's influence for that hobby).
Once he had gotten his shirt as clean as he could he rose from the bench, people giving him an even wider berth as he did so. He then turned and began going on his way down the side walk, pulling out a map and looking for the direction of the Shibuya Train Termial. He'd been to trailmon terminals before, however, he was curious to see how Human train terminals operated. Who knows, perhaps something interesting would occur there as well.

The sky was still pretty clear as Noah made his way to the train terminal but the events of why he was heading there still confused him. He was told to 'wake up' at the train terminal, what did this person mean by 'wake up'? What was so special about the train terminal? Noah let out a sigh as he tried to rack his brain of possible answers but he couldn't think of any, maybe it was just some prank being played on him by a friend. Although that brought up an interesting theory, whilst some of his friends from school had him on the chat app and so knew where he lived, he didn't disclose that information to anyone else even refraining from saying the country as well. The chances of his school friends doing this was rather low, it wasn't really like them to do something such as this. So then, just who messaged him? Noah arrived at the train terminal which was somewhat less busy than he had expected, it wasn't jam packed with people for once. He walked around slowly, not entirely sure where he was going and trying to make it look like he knew where he had to go to avoid any suspicion. However he knew it was only a matter of time before more people flooded into the train terminal. It was then that he felt his phone vibrate and upon inspection he had received yet another message from the same person on the chat app. But how?! Whoever this person was must be a hacker, being able to message despite being blocked and all these cryptic messages? Almost There! A New Horizon Awaits! Whatever that meant, just where was Noah being lead to? He kept moving unsure of where he was going but something was leading him here and there was an odd sensation that it wasn't just this mystery person.
Before Noah realized where he was in the station he had arrived at part of the terminal that he had never been to before. It didn't seem to be that looked after. A light flickered above and whilst the hallway was clean it did seem a bit run down. Noah approached a door and found that it appeared to be locked, some sort of panel to the side of it. Looking at the panel it seemed to be some sort of scanning device. What was this doing here in a train terminal of all things? It was almost like something out of a movie or video game. It didn't seem Noah was going to get through this door as he had no ID card or anything, it was most likely shut for a reason and was probably a staff only area. The blue haired kid shrugged and was about to turn away before his phone made a noise, looking at it he found it was the same person as before;
D̨on'҉t̛ ҉T̷u͝r̷n ͝A̕wa̡y ̀Yo̸u ͢Mu̷st ͘ W͡ake̡ U͝p̛
This was getting weird, but how was he meant to get through a locked door?!

John walked to the station, mentally preparing himself for what he was walking into, he had some time to think about the encounter with digimon he had during English class, but it was still crazy to him that they exist, and after the reaction the class had to them it's no wonder that it's a secret, the world would be in chaos if word got out. Still the whole situation excited him to a degree, digital monsters that could be called upon with devices, it was like a game, and he had interest in playing.
As he arrived at the station he remembered his uncle saying something about increased security but it didn't look like there was too many guards here, maybe because it currently wasn't that busy. Shrugging, John looked around to see where this gate was, when he found it he saw that someone else was trying to get in, "Huh, is he new here, or has he also been sent here? Well if he has no idea of what digimon are, then maybe I should wait until he leaves? Ah but then I would be standing around not getting on any trains, a guard might question me and that could lead to more problems... Well, I don't want to just leave so I'll risk it, what's the worst that could happen?"
John walked to the door by the rundown terminal, examining the door he saw some sort of scanner next to it, figuring that this was the thing he needed his device for he reached into his pocket and pulled it out, before he used it, he turned to the boy. "Look I don't have any idea how much you know about them, or your reasons for being here, but things could get crazy past this door and I don't know how you'll handle it, or how I will for that mater. So if you want to turn back now's the time to do it, otherwise you may not ever get the chance to go back," John puts his device to the scanner and the door opens, he then walks though while saying, "Your call."

Well, this was quite surprising, from the things he had heard about this train station from humans that came to the Digital World, being relatively quiet was not one of them. Sure, there were humans still around, but nowhere near to the point he was having to try and squeeze past people. In fact, it was so peaceful he was able to take a seat at a bench and start watching people as they passed by, taking in all of the unique features humans as they went about their business, seemingly ignorant to the rest of the world. However, one person caught his attention. A blue haired boy was walking about, seemingly wandering about. He was trying to be discrete about it, but Caligo had been people watching (again, K's fault) long enough to know when someone was trying to hide something. His interest grew even more as he noticed the direction the boy was headed. No, he couldn't be, could he?
Before he could get up to follow him a sudden jolt in his mind caught his attention. Slowly turning his head he focused his attention on another human this time, a boy with brown hair. However, what he was really focused on was the kid's bag. He could sense it, he had a digimon. Honestly he was surprised, he hadn't run into anyone with a digimon as he had wandered around the city, and now here one was, heading in the same direction as the other...kid...was... Oh hell, I hope that guy doesn't try to start anything with him. Lifting himself from his seat, Caligo began to follow in the direction brown haired kid had gone, hopefully nothing would happen. Once he had gotten to the crappy, run down terminal, he could see brownie had opened the door to the terminal, saying stuff about how this is the only chance for the kid to turn back, and turned to go through the door.
Honestly, he couldn't help but let out a laugh, making his presence known. "Wow, and I thought my introductions were shit, you just took the cake kid. You don't even bother trying to explain what this place is or ask why he is here. How the hell is he suppose to decide when all you say is you don't know how much he knows about us, what his reason for being here is, and that stuff could get crazy past that door?" Once he finished he gave a wave as he approached, leaving several feet between them as to not crowd the blue haired boy. "Yo, names" shitthinkfast "Koichi Yamato. So, I'm sure you have a lot of questions. Well, if you want go ahead and ask me some, I'll try to answer them the best I can."

Noah was puzzled by the events transpiring, he stood at this locked door and blinked a few times. How was he meant to get past some security door? The blue haired boy sighed and was about to turn away before he heard a voice behind him. It was another boy, he seemed just a bit younger than himself. The boy gave Noah a bit of a warning about how things could get crazy on the other side of this door and he had know idea how much Noah knew about them. Who was them? What's this guy talking about? Noah stood there silently just looking at the brown haired boy as he walked past and opened the door with some sort of round device, Noah couldn't really get a good look at it but he gathered it wasn't an ID card - maybe it was a phone. Who was this guy? Noah was about to speak before another voice called out which was aimed at the brown haired kid. It was an older guy, maybe around his mid twenties or so, with some crazy blonde hair. Noah turned to look at him as he berated the brown haired kid about his introduction. The blonde haired guy gave him a wave and then inquired to Noah about any questions he had, his name was Koichi Yamato. Noah nodded softly before looking between Koichi and the door. "Uh ... I don't know what's going on." Noah managed to say as the abrupt social conventions began to play out but being a relatively smart kid it was obvious these two knew about this door and what lay on the other side. "I got lead here ... By a random person online." Noah then continued which now that he thought about his words realized that it sounded rather shady. He moved towards the now opened door, "Umm ... I'm Noah, where does this go exactly?" He then asked the two of them as his curiosity was getting the better of him.

John was about to continue past the few steps away fro the door when he heard the new man's voice and critique of his choice of words, he then covered his face and groaned, "Oh my god, I just pulled a 'my uncle', " he whispered, then turned back, pocked his head through the door and addressed the two. "Hey ah so about that last thing I said, thing is I just learned about all this yesterday, and the people that informed me about this asked me and the others to not really tell anyone about it. I'm still trying to find the best way to do that, and I didn't know if you where just curious about this terminal or if you know more then me and you where going to wherever this goes to." John, fearing the door would close on him, walked through to Koichi's and Noah's side. "But uh as for where this goes, I have an idea but I'll just let Mr Koichi explain things, since he seems more knowledgeable on the subject then me, I'm John by the way."
Viximon began to stir in John's bag being woken up by the noise the three of them where making, "Ugh what, where am I? This isn't where I... oh no." As her brain started to wake up she realize that she had fallen asleep in John's bag, and she had talked out loud for anyone to hear, "Alright don't panic, if I stay still and don't say anything else, maybe I won't get noticed? I just hope no one heard me." she thought as she stayed perfectly still.

Well, at the very least the brown haired kid, who revealed himself to be named John, admitted that his introduction was less then stellar. And it seems the kid knew people who knew about Digimon and the Digital World, but wanted to keep it secret. While it was good others had told him to keep it secret, he was curious as to who these people were that knew about them, but he wouldn't try to force info on who they were out of the kid. Now then, he had some explaining to do for the blue haired kid.
Turning his attention to the blue haired kid, he tried giving him a friendly smile as he began to explain. "Someone was sendin you messages that led you here huh? Well, I do have an idea on who, or what, was doing that, though you'll have to stick with me here kid, cause it'll sound crazy." He paused, glancing over his shoulder, then continued after a few moments. "I'll make the explanation short, my best guess on what was sendin you those messages was a creature known as a digimon, short for digital monsters, which are creatures that live in a different world. As for this other World, it is known as the digital world." He then lifted an arm, pointing a finger towards the terminal door. "And that door there? That is a gateway that leads to a way to enter the digital world, which is why I'm guessing a digimon was the one sending you those messages." He then lifted a hand and ran it through his hair, letting out a sigh as he did so. "Yeah, sounds crazy, but it's true. Ask the other guy, John I believe it was, he probably has an idea of where this door leads as well." He then glanced down toward the bag the John kid was carrying, hearing some muffled noise and smirking. Well, guess his little friend there was takin a nap.

Noah watched silently after he had asked the question of where this door lead to, the boy who was already partway through who revealed his name as John mentioned that he was new to this as well as well as he was told to keep it a secret. That was quite fair considering that there was this random locked door in a train terminal that anyone could technically find, Noah had only found it because he was lead here but the chances of someone else finding it seemed somewhat high. The blue haired boy nodded in response, understanding John's predicament before he turned to the blonde haired guy although as he did so a noise was heard coming from John's bag, it was as if someone was talking. Noah turned back to John and looked at the bag, "Uh ... You got a phone in there or something?" Noah asked as he heard the muffled voice.
Koichi seemed to have a better idea than both Noah and John, at least to Noah anyway. Koichi explained that it was a digimon who had sent him the messages, what exactly a digimon was Noah didn't know but Koichi explained them as being creatures from another world. Digital Monsters. It made sense if he was contacted over the internet but that was something rather far fetched. The door was a gateway as well that lead to this 'other world'. Noah blinked, confused almost but also showing surprise. Noah scratched his head as he looked down at his phone, he had no new messages from this 'guide' of his. "So ... This door, leads to another world? This sort of thing actually exists?" Noah questioned trying to hide some excitement as he always wondered what it would be like to travel to another world being the type of geek he was. But for something like this to actually exist? It was almost too true to be real but everything was just ... Falling into place? He wasn't quite sure of how to put it but there was just too much going on at once.
Noah stepped forwards and into the doorway, "So ... How does this door work? Is it like a teleport or something?

John also heard a noise from his backpack, and it sounded familiar, he took it off and looked inside to see Viximon was inside looking up at him, she then waved with her tail. "Well that explains the weight, now Viximon, what have we talked about sneaking around?" He asked with a bit of an annoyed look on his face. "This time wasn't intentional, I fell asleep when trying to see if I would fit in your bag last night, sorry." she said with a bit of an embarrassed look on her face. John sighed as he was zipping the book bag up "We can talk later when there aren't many people around." putting his backpack on he turned back to the two there. "I can explain more later, long story short is I have a digimon living in my dorm."
John, nodded at Noah's question about the door, "Yeah it seems that way, I never would have thought it myself if I never saw digimon yesterday, but still this whole situation is crazy!" John then considered Noah's last question, "I don't think so, I walked through and it didn't look or feel like it, my guess is that it leads to a train of some kind that can take us there." looking back to the way to the normal terminals, John started to feel a bit worried. "Hey I don't know about you guys but maybe we should move ahead, at least past the gate? I don't want a guard to get suspicious of us."

Caligo couldn't help but give a sigh of relief when the two of them seemed to take what he said seriously, though he was somewhat surprised that the kid, Noah, who knew literally nothing about digimon was taking the situation so well. He then turned his attention to the other boy, John he believed, who opened his bag. While he couldn't see much, he did see a yellow and white tail and heard a feminine voice. Hm, if I had to guess, kid has a Viximon. Heh, fate sure does seem to have quite a sense of humor lately with how many digimon from the Renamon line I've been meeting.
Once John has closed his bag up and explained he had a digimon, Caligo gave a nod. "Yeah, I figured as much." Was his only response before turning back to Noah. "As for how you get to the Digital World, well, it's a train that takes ya. Mind you, these ain't any regular trains, they're trains that can travel between worlds." He may have left the part out that said trains are also digimon, but he didn't think that was too important in the grand scheme of things honestly. "As for security, I doubt they'll be coming in this direction, but just in case..." He then made his way to the door leading to the terminal, stepping through before turning to look at the other two. "Well? If you two wanna go, it's now or never."
