Anakin Solo (& Terriermon) - Star Wars - military base, a la thisisarea42

[mm_djcati]

[ooc: Think Stargate Command -- huge top secret underground military installation where weirdness happens -- except with more above-ground buildings. Not many, though, and it's all in the south west somewhere so there's little to see. Most important things are in the main underground building. The base is populated by some NPC military guards, a

"Where yet?" asks a voice.

The voice comes from a person, at closer inspection - a girl in her mid-teens who looks really, really really confused. She's gotten the spiel, and yet finds the entire thing extraordinarily odd.

When you're part of the Creation Myth Taken As Fact and find out you're fictional, it's a little jarring.

"--oh!"

He stops and tilts his head to study the newcomer, while Terriermon grumbles, "Anywhere but here, lady."

Anakin shushes her and offers a smile. "Sorry. Anyway, I don't know; I guess I'm just waiting for something to happen. Stuff usually does. Are you new?"

[nertamid]

"Um. Yeah. I haven't been here for longer than an hour and already lost my cousin."

That was his fault, though.

He was stupid.

"What kind of animal is - she?"

[borntobeajedi]

"--I'm not a stupid animal!"

Anakin winces. "She's a Digimon -- digital monster, from one of the other worlds. She's pretty loud sometimes."

He shrugs (just one shoulder), then tilts his head again with interest.

"But you came with someone else? I'm sure he's around. Or she. The computers are usually good for finding someone if you need to."

There's a little boy stalking about t he shadows, an unhappy, silent little boy who'd much rather be back on the island, where his mother is; but no thanks to ~things~ he's stuck here with the full knowledge that someday he could've grown up to live a nice, productive life as Island Dictator.

Little Benry is not amused.

[borntobeajedi]

It's the boy's presence that Anakin feels before he sees him; it makes him look over and stop, tilting his head curiously.

"Are you okay?"

Terriermon just peers over his head at Benry.

Li'lben stops in his tracks, staring at the other boy.

Anakin better get used to it. Ben is about as talkative as Locke was right after the Hatch asploded.

[borntobeajedi]

Anakin is content with quietness. Even if his best friend at home could talk for the entire galaxy.

"I guess not," he murmurs thoughtfully.

Terriermon, on the other hand -- well, if she and Tahiri ever met, no one else would get a word in edgewise.

"C'mon, kid, he asked a question," she puts in. "You gonna say anythin' or you just gonna stand there lookin' like a lost little baby Digimon?"
