Digimon Adventure 02 ~ O.C.s Fanfiction, featuring once-known as "FDD", "Fictional Digidestined & Digimon", or Fictional Chosen Children (using Japanese original terms) ~ "COF:TFF" ({Chosen} of Faith): The Fan Fic +Daisuke is visiting my 02 O.C. Hikaru, (NOT Hikari) {who Daisuke may have (mutual?!) starting crushes with} except meets a 'surprise visitor?' {"Shane!"} instead. {Exact cap of the file on my old C.D.} which has all the pages I could save before webpurges except site images + font colors won't display until I re-create the ENTIRE SITE again.

In the old story Young Me accidentally spelled Michael (American Chosen Child) wrong so it's 'corrected' here, lol. (I was also using "Willis" but since am correcting it to Japanese original canon!"Wallace".) Thus the implication here is Shane apparently 'knows' (of) Michael & Wallace But is it The Case Shane knows them WELL? Dun-dun-dun... "Meanwhile with Daisuke (+Shane)" Mini-Chatstyle Series: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 13 / 14 / 14.5 {Lightly PG-15} / 15 / 16 / 17* (A.U. Spin-off {Digimon x Pokemon Crossover!}) (A.K.A., "The Fate of Four Worlds"/TFOFWVerse) 18 / 19 / 20 / 21 / 22 / 23 / 24 / 25 26 / 27 / 28 / 29 / 30 / 31* / 32 {+O.C. Hikaru}: 33 / 34 / 35 / 36 / 37 / 38 / 39 / 40* Psuedo-{+Epilogue} ({*} Marked parts are ongoing/incomplete plotlines!!) ["To Be Continued" Someday, mAYBE...] (It's mostly crack {humor} A.U. spin-offs, 02 Chosen+KouTai also show briefly in-between, Ken->Daisuke<-Hikaru as open relationships (Mains), Ken->DaisukexHikari<-Hikaru is also strongly implied; Takeru/Miyako happened previously in my past fics, but currently mutually unrequited, as they "split" on good terms. (However, Miyako still has "some" feelings to handle re both Takeru and Ken...) {More might come later!} + Kou+Tai in background; are all main featured 'ship's here, but as for KouTai, mostly in the background for now. Hikaru still exists in this too, though, +does appear!)

{More details under the 'read more'!}

Shane did mention another given name here; however, I might pick a different one this time {unsure}

The precursor to the "REPEAT?_Verse" and "The Past World" (Royalty/Clones-verse A.U. timeline spinoffs!) (Hikaru cameos in Chapters 4 + 6 of 'The Past World', it also shows a later section of what would have eventually been part of Koushiro's 'ARC' in my old story, in my later fanfiction 'Infalliable', featuring Daisuke and Koushiro friendship during 'Chosen of Faith'!)

by Young Me circa Pre-2k10 (to eventually be re-written in Full) Or, in which Young Me casually uses foreshadowing to conceal that my O.C. is very much a Very (Mostly) Dead One. {i.e. SHANE answering the door instead of owner of the home}

... Except this may or may not have been on the site. I honesly can't remember, but if SOMEONE remembers seeing this, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING let me know!

Personal room ranking:

1 - Outer Expanse: RUIN12 (9/10) 2 - Challenge #26 Gourmand (9/10) 3 - Submerged Superstructure: S01 (9/10) 4 - The Rot: LAB8 (8/10) 5 - Garbage Wastes: D02 (7/10) 6 - The Rot: LAB13 (7/10) 7 - Outskirts: A35 (7/10) 8 - Waterfront Facility: A08 (6/10) 9 - Metropolis: templegate (5/10) 10 - The Exterior: A08 (5/10)

Extra comment: Aaaahhhh, there's so many good options, this one is just rough.

Personal favorite would definitely have to be RUIN12, though. The room already has a very distinct layout and design style, but it also uses Worm Grass in a way that the game has never done before, and that is something I'll absolutely applaud. I'm honestly a bit shocked that the base game didn't end up having a room like this, but hey, filling in all these gaps is what Downpour is so great at!

Not seeing a huge vote split in this one is certainly a surprise, especially because it seems like both of the highly voted rooms got their success due to visuals and such, and not necessarily due to their other functions. Of those two, I find LAB8 to be the superior, because… I mean, just look at it! Having the in-between sections of two Memory Conflux rooms opened up and connected like this is quite freaky, but also very stunning as well. Meanwhile, A35 has a weird, but cool little machinery in the middle, which I don't really care about too much, especially cus I don't think we have any sort of explanation whatsoever about its true nature. Granted, rooms like this do boost the imersiveness of the game by a ton, as you get to see this long abandoned technology that you, just another random animal, have no clue about.

Pick Your Favorite Rain World Room, Day 160.2

This is not single elimination! Every room with at least 10.0% vote will move on to the next round.

There is a hidden slugcat in one of the rooms (they can be in any color). If u can see it comment or reblog with where they are and if u are first, u get a cookie!

Congratulations for day 159.2 winners!

Kansas State vs. Oklahoma State: How to watch live stream, TV channel, NCAA Football start

The Oklahoma State Cowboys have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Oklahoma State and the Kansas State Wildcats will face off in a Big 12 battle at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The Cowboys have a defense that allows only 17.8 points per game, so K-State's offense will have their work cut out for them.

Oklahoma State fought the good fight in their overtime game against the Texas Longhorns last week but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 41-34. Oklahoma State gained 243 more yards than Texas, but the latter made more effective use of their yardage. Despite the loss, Oklahoma State got a solid performance out of WR Tylan Wallace, who caught 11 passes for two TDs and 187 yards.

In one silver lining for Oklahoma State, the Oklahoma State defensive unit accumulated five sacks for a loss of 37 yards. It was a group effort with four picking up 1.5 sacks apiece.

Meanwhile, K-State scored first but ultimately less than the West Virginia Mountaineers in their contest last week. K-State suffered a grim 37-10 defeat to West Virginia. The Wildcats were down 34-10 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. QB Will Howard had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: despite one touchdown, he threw three interceptions with only 184 yards passing.

Inter-national O.C. Chosen Shane, whom is now fully ? ?? 'revived': ... ... ... Shane: ... (While I'm {Still} Here) Shane: I need ... to... swing by 'that' place again. Daisuke, didn't hear: Huh? Shane, to Ken: Uh, I'm going for a "walk"--- KEN, FLATLY: No You Aren't Shane: ("SH*T") Ken: I'll call for someone to take you... to where you 'want to go'. (Though we technically 'can' drive, we don't own a car, and...) It's dangerous to try "walking" there on your own, you're still physically weak. Ken: (You've already almost been hit ONCE.) Shane: ... I'm not a child. (I'm *your* age) Ken: ... Ken: (*sends message Ken was writing*) Anyhow... I'm sure they'll be here shortly. Shane: ... (*Short-ish time passes but still some time*) Takeru, entering Ken+Daisuke's 'place': ... SHANE: ... Takeru: Oh, hello. Ken told me you were "here". SHANE, Narrowed Eyes in Ken's direction: Ken, Shrugging: Takeru "knows Takeru's way around" here best out of everyone else, so... Shane: ... (It's not that Takeru 'can't know' but.) Takeru: I can call a taxi. I've done that before Takeru: ... Anyway, should we go ? Shane, Internally SIGHING: (Guess I Have To.) Daisuke: (Good luck, man...)

Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning {New very first seen "The Beginning' stills were being added to the official DM_Partners account + site!} (Sept. 21 2023, around 6:21 P.M. J.S.T) ~ Daisuke Motomiya

#Digimon Spoilers #Digimon 02: The Beginning Spoilers #Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning Spoilers #The Beginning Spoilers #TheBeginningSpoilers

(Mini-analysis under the 'read more'!)

This was the very first time we had seen this particular shot of Daisuke.

In this shot, Daisuke clearly and proudly holds one of the new styled "Digivice"-equipped phones made & produced by Izumi Corporation, the company canonically owned and managed and run by Koushirou Izumi, who acts as President, sometime post 2005 within the Adventures timeline. As of the Kizuna tie-in novels, Koushiro had seemingly "just" gotten the company up and running, and within Kizuna, the Chosen Children group, including Taichi's team and Koushirou's own self, began actively using the phone models. "Digivice" appears to work on these phones, which the Chosen use to open Digital Gates and portals within the Real World, even without the aid of a computer or Koushirou's laptop nearby. (The actual Digivice, meanwhile, seemed unuseable. Taichi hid "Digivice" deep within Taichi's desk drawer, until the plot forced Taichi to acknowledge and pull it out again; Daisuke seemed to do similar with own blue "D3", which can be seen during the opening scenes and later moment.

When the phone device shuts off, "Izumi Corporation"'s logo can be seen in Kizuna on Taichi's phone. Though we do not see it within "The Beginning", it can be assumed Daisuke's phone shuts off in the same style.

At the end of the film, though it is implied "something" is happening to "Digivice" and "D3", the actual phone models they also have now, which were produced by Koushirou, and; which are separate devices, do not appear to change or vanish.

In promotional material released after the film's release, the Chosen still appear to hold the phone models.

Meanwhile with Steve & Frigimon {of series: D i g i m o n 02} #TheBeginningSpoilers

Frigimon (Yukidarumon); Steve calls it "Frigimon" when at home: So, "That" one says they made us - or more like, 'you' - a Chosen to "befriend" "that other one"... Steve, low laughing under breath: "It" may have "said" that, but it's definitely wrong. Frigimon: Oh? You seem to have a strong feeling about this... (but it's expected of my partner). Steve, voice returning to normal 'cheery' tone: The thing it doesn't know is that I initially messaged Koushiro of my own volition. Frigimon: But it claims it 'made' you all do that... Steve: And again, it's definitely wrong... because it also doesn't know - or even understand why - how Koushiro initially reacted to me, much less the others in our group. Frigimon: Oh?? (Curious) (Tell Me More, Steve) Steve, swivelling around in chair: Koushiro rambled and info-dumped about different types of systems and coding for a solid ten or so messages back-and-forth before I finally clued Koushiro in more deliberately that I knew about "you all". STEVE: AND, at the start, Koushiro was hesitant to actually talk more to us about it all, even though we made it clear we all mostly knew since "that battle". Frigimon: But Koushiro came around because you were persistent? Steve, laughing: It's not so much "persistence" as "something that naturally fell into place" once I got more of a 'feel' of what Koushiro was like. Koushiro sounds extremely analytical on the 'Net, but apparently is also super formal in person, just in ...different ways. Frigimon: So, you're saying you didn't "pursue" Koushiro but couldn't the "naturally falling into place" still mean-- Steve, shaking head: No, not that either. Steve: Because I also initially wasn't sure if Koushiro actually wanted to be my "friend". Frigimon: ... Steve, clasping hands: Even if it could do everything that 'new' Chosen said, it doesn't understand that these aren't things you can "force". And even if it could, I wouldn't acknowledge it, because it's not a part of my culture... So it's not relevant to me. Frigimon, hmmng: The other monsters "like that" must really dislike us, then. Steve, quirking eyebrow with a grin: "Us"? Frigimon: Well, I don't like those notions, either. I can't really imagine myself being partnered to anyone not you, nor for any other "reason". Steve: ... Steve, quietly: {Thanks.} Frigimon: ... (After all, it is us.)

Inter-national O.C. Chosen Shane, some night after having been 'revived' from being partly 'Digital', finally having gotten back on their feet but is now... trying to figure out how to sleep: ... SHANE on the other side of Daisuke + Ken in the bed: ... DAISUKE: ... (Is pretty much dead asleep) KEN: ... (Is sleeping Calmly) SHANE, AWAKE: (... This is Awkward.) DAISUKE & KEN: ... (Snoozing. For a long while.) SHANE Lying Awake: (Ugh) DAISUKE, SUDDENLY FLOPPING TO LAND WITH A LEG HALF IN FRONT OF SHANE'S FACE: SHANE: SHANE: (I'll wake you up myself if I have to.) DAISUKE: ... SHANE, Nudging Daisuke's leg: (...Or I'll just move you.) Daisuke, Is Moved: Shane, starting to get up from the bed: (Maybe I'll just... sit out in the living area for a while.) The next morning, Daisuke wakes up & doesn't automatically see Shane: Huh??? SHANE, was awake playing one of the games they're always playing all night: What. DAISUKE: DAISUKE: ... (I kept Shane up.) DAISUKE: Uhhh... you can have... the bed.... Shane: ... Thanks. (Quickly disappears into room.) Ken: (At least you didn't cling to Shane in your sleep.) DAISUKE, GROANING: (I still feel bad though!!) SHANE, continues to sleep during the early-middle part of the day regardless of What Goes On During Each Following Night: (My sleep schedule will never be fixed, but I didn't expect it to be.) Ken: (Honestly, I'm surprised Shane lasted that long, but at least I'm *used to* Daisuke's tossing and ... clinging.) DAISUKE: (KENNNNN---)

Inter-national O.C. Chosen Shane, & KEN: ... KEN: ... SHANE: ... Shane: You're the one who said you wanted to Talk, so... Ken: Ken: Yes. (*deep breath*) (*Formally*) I... must apologize. To you, as well. Shane: Shane, sighing a bit: ... This is about when you were the Kaiser, right??- KEN: Ken: ... It is. Shane: ... Shane: You know, it was really *extremely* obnoxious of you that you even chose the NAME "Kaiser". Ken: I know. Shane: You understood what that "title" means to my people and I, right? Ken: ... If I could go back, and erase *everything* I did, I woul-- SHANE: Well, You Can't... KEN: SHANE: ... (*crossing arms*) Which is why you can only keep "moving forward" from here. Ken: ... (I know Shane's right.) Shane, slowly: ... So, that also means, *maybe*, *not* assisting people like... KEN: SHANE: ... Well. If you tell them who I am, and *how I came back*, even if you obscured *some* details... you know, it'd *still* be a *HUGE* scandal? It'd be *all* over the news. People would be shocked because I was presumed to be long dead. Ken: But they didn't find your body... Shane: No. But the places I frequented... they all *knew* I was *gone*. It was *unusual* for me to *not* go back there. And... I bet they *also* all spoke heavily to "investigators" *and* "detectives" back then. (Because they're *two different things*, as we know...) KEN: Ken: ... So you're saying I can't report you're "alive". SHANE: (re-emphasizing) If you DID, there'd be chaos. And people "in the know" (about {The true extent of the Digital World...}) would likely *also* trace MOST of it back to *ALL OF US.* *Including the enemies.* Including the ones *NOT 'just'* 'Digital'. K E N: ... Shane: ... In exchange, I'll let you know what *you* wanted to know about the nature of my "disappearance". But *I* only knew so much, too. Ken, firmly: Please tell us. Shane: ... Shane: (... It might have been similar to what happened to Ken "that time" Ken got pulled in...) I was, once again, pulled in by the force of the Digital World because I *was* Chosen, *before*. But instead of passing through 'properly'... at the time, it felt like my body was being torn to shreds. KEN: Shane: And I probably *was*. (Now That I Think About it.) Shane: But I didn't *know* fully *at the time*, because the NEXT thing I knew, I was "awake", in the Void. And it's, for the most part, completely *empty* there... Ken, ECHOING: "'For the most part...'?" Shane, sighing: Shane: There were some strange "landmark"-like places I came across. But I couldn't tell you their names. And even *they* were near completely void of even any "*Digital*" beings. SHANE: -AND, *then*, I saw some of what looked like *your* "Dark Towers". KEN: ... (This Is Going To Be A Long 'Talk'...)

Shane: Anyway, how did YOU Get... here...?? GoldVmon: ..Uhhhh, I kinda got deleted, I think--?? SHANE & SHANE'S MON: Shane: You got KILLED?? By who?!?? GoldVmon: It doesn't matter, he didn't mean it!

I guess) But then *why* are you... Shane: "Attached to the physical realm"? I don't know. Maybe there's "something else" I need to do here while stuck as "Digital". (And pretty much "dead".) Daisuke: Which is why you're... Shane: Hanging around *you*. Daisuke: (I might need to actually talk to Koushiro about this Issue, but I'm not sure *Koushiro* is able to see them either.) Shane: (Not possible. Tried there too. Not even Taichi. *You're* the one that came closest to "death", here. Which feels like it should be Saying Something if even *theM*---) Daisuke: (*groAN*) I get it, I get it...

Meanwhile with Steve & Frigimon {DigiAdvs 02}

Sometime post-DigiAdvs 02, Steve & Frigimon encounter an ""enemy?""... ""Lilith""mon: Steve, Not Smiling: Lilithmon: Steve: Lilithmon: Steve, flatly: What are you doing here? Lilithmon: Why do /you/ accuse me? Steve: "This" isn't /your/ "true form". Not by a /long shot/. Lilithmon, raising eyebrows, haughtily: Oh~? Steve: Why are you "here" in "THAT" form? Lilithmon: Lilithmon: WELL, it's NOT like I only /briefly/ ""CHOSE"", THIS form, or aNYTHINg, (so I could)--- Steve: I KNOW /you'd/ much rather be "there". Lilithmon: Steve, crossing arms: You knew we would question you the second we /heard your name/, and realized the contexts of what you were /seemingly/ "up to", and that we'd tell everyone /else/ as soon as we did? Lilithmon: (*exasperated sigh!!1!*) Frigimon: (She tried.) Frigimon: (But Steve can't let this slide.) Steve, cheerily: AnyWAY, so I know about a certain "place"... Lilithmon: ??! Frigimon: (...She understood immediately.)

Steve: (Yeah, but I can't say this isn't awkward sometimes.) Frigimon: (Takeru respects Koushiro too, though.) Steve: (I know, I know.) Steve: (Breaking the ice is ... Something.)
