Short Fic: The Beginning

This is my first (and possibly only -working to rectify that) work for Digiweek2022 and figured I'd use the opportunity to explore the Ghost Game characters.

Summary: Jellymon finds herself in the human world.

Words: <1000

Jellymon heard rumours of another world from time to time. A world that was beautiful, awful, fun or terrifying depending on which story currently circulated the local gossip channels. Everyone had an opinion about this world full of “humans” that none had visited, yet had heard from an acquaintance of a friend… or some similarly convoluted chain that explained why their story was the truth.

While it was fun to add her own tales (humans eating fried Gesomon had been a personal favourite), Jellymon had seen little point in dedicating her thoughts to a place mostly used to keep young digimon from misbehaving (don’t stray too far or the humans will steal you away). Except one day she found herself standing in the middle of a street while cars and people moved through her as if she didn’t exist.

For someone as (in)famous as Jellymon, to suddenly find herself completely ignored was unacceptable! Luckily, other digimon had also wandered into this strange new world as well. Some had even adapted their lifestyles around humans, even when the native population couldn’t see them.

Humans were strange. While they sometimes shouted at each other, she rarely saw one deliberately hurt or kill. And when someone got into a fight, any nearby humans (especially those in strange dark uniforms) ran over to stop the fighting. While not completely unheard of, digimon rarely interfered in each other’s arguments, especially disputes about territory or who was stronger.

Curious at their behaviour, Jellymon followed a human or two around, but she often lost her targets as the train sped away through her because she couldn’t hold on. It was frustrating to say the least!

One thing she quickly discovered was that money was essential. If one had money, they could do anything in this world. However, there weren’t any ways for a digimon like herself to get money. The digimon she spoke to weren’t interested in taking part in that aspect of human society. Money could not be eaten, worn or played with so it was of no use to them.

Jellymon disagreed. Of course she could just take whatever she wanted, but if she was to become acknowledged by human society and truly a part of it, then eventually she needed to find a way to earn cash.

Just like in the Digital World, plenty of rumours spread regarding the best way to materialise fully in the human’s world. Jellymon didn’t necessarily believe them, but it seemed reasonable to at least try them out. Most of the suggestions involved acknowledgement by humans in some way, whether through anger, joy or fear. It required practice, but Jellymon slowly found it easier to interact with the world around her, even if no one besides other digimon could see her.

Most of the humans she followed were too absorbed in their devices to notice her efforts. She soon discovered it was almost impossible to draw a crowd’s attention for long. A bottle falling from someone’s bag was assumed to be due to another person nearby. If anything, Jellymon succeeded in drawing commuters’ attention to each other rather than her. She soon learned targeting lone travellers was a much more productive use of time.

Each new encounter with humans gave her more information to improve the next interacton. There was always something new to learn, and Jellymon was eager to figure them out. Like digimon, humans seemed to be divided into different categories. The smallest were fun to tease, but were more likely to cry when upset, which she didn’t particularly enjoy hearing. The taller ones in dark suits were least likely to notice her. The ones referred to as “teenagers” gave the best and most-varied reactions, so Jellymon began following them to class, going home with a new student each day.

It became easier to send a small shock of electricity through a light, causing it to flicker; or kick an empty bottle into someone’s path just in time for them to trip. Her strength grew, so Jellymon devised more and more elaborate schemes to draw attention: a chain reaction of spooky sounds and falling objects, or a power surge at just the right moment. Jellymon was in her element, since most objects humans relied on were powered by electricity.

When Jellymon followed one student back to their dorm she couldn’t believe her luck. A building filled with teenagers who had their own rooms meant that there were plenty of opportunities to catch them alone, especially at night when humans were easier to scare. At first it was boring during the day finding other things to occupy her time, but she soon noticed there was one student who didn’t go to school.

He had a position of power in the dorm, but wasn’t an adult. When Jellymon scared him, he let out the loudest screams. She found herself spending more and more time around the boy. He convinced himself he was cursed by a vengeful spirit and visited every shrine in the local area, covering himself in talismans to ward off evil. It would’ve been easy to dismiss him, but every time she showed him up, he would devise a new plan to defeat her.

Jellymon once scared him so much he passed out. Guilt crept in. Had she accidentally killed him? Instead, he sat up with a serious look on his face. Curious, Jellymon followed him back to his room as he began typing on his computer. It was a program she had never seen before that hacked into others’ devices, inserting digital talismans to try and thwart her.

Jellymon grinned, feeling more excited than she’d ever been in her life.

“Challenge accepted, Kiyoshiro Higashimitarai.”

Thinking about someone who goes to the doctor, and remember they need to pee just after they leave their home.

They think it would be quick so they don't go back to their house and just go to the doctor, but it turns out to be longer than they expected and they start to feel kinda desperate..

So they decide to use the bathroom there.. But because of the covid-19 pandemic and all, they are closed so they have to wait until they get home..

But the doctor aren't done yet with the patient before them.. And they don't want to leave because it's their turn right after.

k, l, q, r, c

WE GOT SOME REPEATS AND LOTS OF ASKS AHHH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! @eleilinnrallin @gemstarstarlight @chaserofstarsandtheabyss @jinxneedssleep

I feel like you skipped every letter that had a character I was excited to talk about lol

Here we go!

K First up is this dude and I hate his name so he shall be referred to as simply K. He's a trans man, only transphobia is a big thing in this world, so everyone thinks he's a girl. In his story, there's a war going on, that has been for the past thirty years or so. Due to politics, magic was outlawed decades ago. There was a massive purge of all magical people and those who survived fled. They didn't have anywhere to run to, (everywhere is either extremely dangerous or would be a foreign kingdom hostile to them) so they set up a camp in a forest on the edge of the land that was never inhabited because it's always been overrun with monstrous creatures. They tamed these creatures and use them as manpower to farm and to fight. (Fun side note: this kingdom's closest ally is a kingdom in which magic is not outlawed, because they lived in the mountains and need it to survive up there because it is VERY COLD and covered in potentially magical ice. So as part of their alliance, this kingdom agrees to not harbor any magical refugees and the other kingdom obviously won't turn aside any of their magical people either. This alliance is mutually beneficial. The frozen kingdom receives supplies (mostly food and crop / animal stuff that they can't grow or raise in their harsh climate) and the other kingdom has the protection of the frozen kingdom because their magical warriors are renown throughout the land.) He's not the main character of this story, he's the love interest to one of the main characters! She's what's known as the King's General of the army. How this works is there are ten generals in the army. The King's General is the top general and the other nine are their advisors basically. In order to become King's General, you must duel your way to the top. Only one of the nine generals can challenge the King's General. She's the youngest King's General in possibly forever. The army has a huge influx of soldiers that they don't need. The magic users use the forest and their beasts to their advantage and engage mostly in guerrilla warfare (hope I spelled that right), so in the army's case, having more people in the field can actually be a hindrance to them. However, people keep coming in. It's considered a great honor to go to fight and for a lot of starving families, the compensation they get from sending a family member to fight is the only thing keeping them going. So, the army finds a use for these people. They use them as human shields.

There's different types of magic users and each one has a different name. The most powerful (arguably but also not) are the sorcerers. They have elemental magic that is extremely powerful and difficult to control. What they can do in a fight is bombard the enemy with fireballs from safely in the back. They're always guarded by at least a pair of other magic users (normally witches: conjurers who can manifest objects. Each witch has a different material unique to them that their summons are made of.) So the army sends new recruits around the back to attack the sorcerers. A lot of them die, but it keeps the sorcerers busy so the rest of the army can focus on the other magic users. After all, why waste well trained soldiers on a suicide mission? Anyway, Omikiia is her name lol but I'm insecure about it so it may be changed. Her sister is a witch and she knows this (her sister doesn't know that she knows this though) and their father was arrested (possibly under suspicion of being or harboring a magic user) and Omikiia went to the king and pleaded for his life to be spared. She struck a deal with the king. She'll go to war and as long as she's alive out there, her father will be kept alive in prison. The king's like "eh she'll probably die in a week and I'll get rid of both of them". She's determined though. She catches on pretty fast to what the army is doing with the new recruits and she makes a group of friends (which K is included in) and she doesn't want them to die. Hence her fighting her way to the title of King's General so she can change the tactics and save all these lives that were being wasted needlessly. She's good at her job too. K gets elevated to being one of her nine generals (she makes the majority of them and other important officers in the army people she knows are loyal to her, in the event of a power struggle with one of the other generals, she'll have more allies than they will. (popularity is also important here) but she also keeps some of the older and more experienced generals because their feedback is important) Anyway, K is very serious and comes from a poor family. He went in place of his older sister to the war to gain the benefits for his family. The longer he stays alive, the better off they'll be. Also he falls in love with Omikiia but they have to hide it because everyone assumes he is a woman and gay is a big no no. They do get to share a tent though because everyone thinks they're of the same gender so obviously they're not going to get up to anything. Obviously. (I have more K characters but that's the one you get to hear about!)

Now for L

Libra I may have other characters that also have a name that starts with L but Libra is my newest and the first one coming to mind. I created them for a roleplay initially so their story is based off of that. (A ROLEPLAY YOU ARE IN, EL! So um... I will redact some of this for secrecy purposes :D ) other people not of the roleplay may ask me for the full backstory if you want! In the world they're from, magic is heavily prejudiced against (I promise it isn't this way in all of my stories lol, just some of them). Libra was about 16 and living at home with [redacted] ... they turned 30, they became wanted for being a thief ... [redacted] ... This made them jaded ... [redacted] ... And now they're constantly on the run from the police. ... [redacted] ... So they're extremely bitter but they don't show it. They use pet names for everyone, they're sassy and mischievous, and they get by with their hard earned stealing skills. They also always wear a mask to hide their identity (there is nothing wrong with their face though, they look rather ordinary). They have a soft spot for children because it reminds them of [redacted]. So they'll often go out of their way to put a smile on a child's face or to keep them safe but they'll turn around and ignore an adult who needs help if it'd put them in danger to offer assistance. Their policy is typically, I sell you things for cheap and you don't ask where I got them. You need something, I'll get it for you, no questions asked, no one else has to know. (they're in their thirties now, [redacted] is in her twenties, there's a ten year difference between them) I have a picture of them, actually! (however since Tumblr has been bullying me, I may not be able to post it here)

Omikiia's sister's name also starts with an L Q... q.... I don't think I have a character who has a name that starts with Q!

Okay okay okay okay so there are a lot of people who could fit this one! (including a character who is literally just named R lol) But we'll go with Reflections The thing to know about Reflections is that they are two people. Their species is born with telepathic/physic and memory-manipulating powers. Reflections was born as a pair of conjoined twins. However they are almost completely conjoined, so they're basically two people in one body. This has the side effect of doubling the strength of their powers. (the body is AFAB, one twin is a demigirl, the other is genderfluid. because I can) Their species lives on a series of islands. There used to be more of them but they've often been oppressed and killed off. Reflections' island was conquered. Low ranking individuals of their culture are being sold into slavery or as soldiers. (there are further repercussions of this throughout the world. the species that conquered their island tried to conquer the world 300 years ago and is now oppressed and marginalized in many countries for it. having an uprising of them trying to conquer areas again is Not Helping) Rank is determined by mind duels. In these mind duels, the contestants face off in a battle of mental strength. Whoever breaks first loses. Instead of dying if you lose, whoever beats you gets the right to your mind's identity. Or essentially all your memories. They can then declare whatever they wish. They can have you exiled, stripped of your status, etc. Whatever they say about you, everyone else has to go along with. It's their tradition. In the old times people would challenge each other to mind duels for leadership, supplies, to settle disputes and to get revenge, and other stuff like that. Everyone has been using mind duels to try to climb in the ranks of society to save their families from slavery Reflections' family was of low rank, so they participated in several mind duels before finally losing one. Now because Reflections is two people, there was a bit of a complication as the winner only gained the right to the mind of one of them. There were a lot of disputes that were only settled when the unbeaten half challenged the victor to a duel for their sister's rights. Well this side, being the more powerful of the two, won. The victor, being a sore loser, claimed that Reflections had cheated and that both sides had participated in the mind duel. Because there was no one to prove whether or not this was true, Reflection and the loser were both exiled until they found some way to prove the truth. (quick detail, one twin has better control over their body and the other one has better control over their powers) Reflection wandered the land, looking for a sufficiently well respected member of their species who could analyze their memories and prove the truth. They eventually found said member, who agreed to try if Reflection would kindly assist in erasing someone's memory for them. Reflection agreed, did the job, and let this person examine their memories. However they were not successful. Reflection, still determined to return home, sought out the person they had both beaten and lost to, only to discover that he had been killed. Without his memories, there would be no way to prove that Reflection is innocent. So they can't return home. Both twins are mischievous and like to switch up who is talking to mess with people. Their voice sounds the same, though their inflections are slightly different. One twin (the genderfluid one) is more hot headed and assertive. The other is the more mischievous one and is also the scheming. She's much calmer and thinks things through before they do them. They're essentially always co-existing next to each other, so anything that happens to one, the other is aware of. Their memories are different however, as each one views what is happening to them differently. Each twin still needs their own individual name and to be fleshed out more. I also need to work out exactly how them existing works. We'll get there!

And finally. C!

I actually have an entire family of characters and all of their names start with C... I CAN'T FIND MY NOTES ON THEM THOUGH AHHHH and I'm too lazy to keep looking. a lot of my story notes are extremely unorganised

The C Family So we'll go based off of my memory! The two I remember best are the twins, Cannon and Camera. Other people in the family include the oldest Cascade and the youngest... I think her name was Cinnamon but my cousin has an OC by that name so she's gonna have to be renamed. Camera, true to her name, likes taking photos. I mean if you're gonna be named Camera like you might as well. She's also very protective and hotheaded. Cannon's a lot more leveled headed. Does sports but some of the team members were toxic so he quit so he's sort of friends with some of them and not all. He has a girlfriend but I forgot her name. Camera would totally be a lesbian Oh yeah their parents are dead, killed by a gang, gang war politics, I don't remember all the details. So now Cascade is pretending that they're alive while really she's running the family because not all of them are out of school and she doesn't want anyone being taken away. I think they all have brown or black hair? wow I have not described appearances for anyone. They were originally side characters in a different story of mine, however I may like to snatch them out and put them in their own story. we'll see!

AND THAT'S IT THANKS FOR COMING TO MY RAMBLE SEND ME MORE ASKS I HAVE LOTS OF CHARACTERS!

#Ink's OCs #my ocs #OC soup game #ask game #mutuals #:DDDD #I hope you like them!#had to go through the dredges of my memory and my google drive to find some of these people #wow it's been a while #tw war mention #tw death mention #both are fictional but just in case!

reveal your watch & rewatch drama list

Thanks for tagging me @talays-portkey 💖

Watching:

The Terror (2018) I watched up until episode 8 and so far I’ve been loving it. The production is stunning and I adore the atmosphere they have created - it makes my heart soar for its artistry. I just did not expect for it to become so heavy to watch? I guess it’s the historical aspect that gets to me because I keep thinking of what might have happened in actuality. This means I can’t handle more than two episodes per day and I need to find the right moments.

The Wind Blows From Longxi (2022) I’m progressing incredibly slowl with this one, I think I’m on episode 7? I’m determined to finish this but my attention span is not really up for it currently, so I need to save it for times when I have more than just one braincell working. I just love the production of this show so much and I’m excited to see where it goes! Also this gives me an excuse to fawn over Chen Kun.

Move To Heaven (2021) Yeah I still haven’t continued this, I’m waiting for when the mood hits again. I want to finish this because I truly loved it!

Luoyang (2021) Not sure if I’m giving up on this but I do kinda wanna finish it, despite the meh feedback everyone around me has given it.

Starting soon:

What We Do In The Shadows S4 hot vampire summer let’s goooooooooooooooo

First Kill (2022) I want to binge this when I have the time and peace to do so, I’m excited.

The King of Pigs (2022) Kinda feel like starting a dark kdrama again and I keep eyeing this one. I know it will probably kill me but I feel like I could be ready soon.

Derry Girls S3 I keep waiting until it finally shows up on Netflix but so far no luck 💔

I have much more on my list but these are the ones that I can see myself starting soon.

Rewatching + Rewatch Plans:

Beyond Evil (2021) Not sure how far I got with my rewatch because I needed to halt it or else I dissolve into tears and can’t get up from the floor. Maybe soon when I feel like I need a good cry.

The Untamed (2019) I can’t believe it’s been three years and I miss this show and fandom so damn much. Especially now that dear Cloud watched it too, I keep wishing to return to it - I just don’t know if I’m strong enough to do so. I’m scared

Not Me The Series (2022) This show passed in a haze when it was airing and I feel like I blacked out somewhere in the middle because it hit too close to home? Now I just want to see it as a whole and watch it more attentively.

Kinnporsche: La Forte (2022) If no one is gonna make that VegasPete cut for me, I’ll just resort to rewatching the entire thing from the beginning. Since I’m entering a phase currently where I need to focus on University, I feel like this could be perfect to relax inbetween because the only thing I wanna pay attention to is Pete and Vegas. Also the production is beautiful? Kinda just wanna absorb it again, no thoughts head empty (and lose it over vegaspete because I won’t be normal about them any time soon this is tearing me apart inside)

Tagging @the-cloud-whisperer, @intyalote, @cortue, @not-saying-revolution-but, @sassyassassy! Have fun!

#tag game #wow it's been a while #I know this seems like i'm watching a lot but i kinda just ran out of things now that kinnporsche has ended #as well as to my star 2 sigh #and i just wanna drown in vegaspete i am so insufferable about them #personal
