The Hurricane Eye

It wasn't often that Hirem had a bad feeling about things, but this was one of those moments. He had no real explaination as to why he felt this way, but the more he glanced between the paper (or whatever the futuristic version of paper would be), and the large room he now stood in, the worse it got.

The instructions were somewhat vague. Mostly just a time and a place. So here he was, standing awkwardly at the right time, in what he hoped was the right place. Now his options were to wait and see if someone approched him, or try and get the attention of someone to figure out just why he was here. For the moment, he settled for the former; hoping the lost look on his face would solve both problems.

The room was booming with activity as people and digimon of all different kinds were walking around and talking. Some were sitting down relaxed and to themselves. Others were just playing games and hanging out with their friends. A lot of them didn't really notice that Hirem had even walked in. Across the room a man could be seen standing at the edge of the balcony above the fountain just watching all the activity in the room. He had his arms behind his back and he stood upright and proper. He looked at Hirem for a moment from the distance. He turned his head and called out to someone but was too far away for Hirem to hear anything he said, considering the massive size of the room. He turned around and walked to a door behind him, opened it, and entered the room.

Someone in the distance had stirred and started walking. They took their time traveling to where Hirem was and when they got close enough could be made out to be not a man, but a digimon. Clockmon to be exact. "Well hello there. I haven't seen you here before. Are you here to see the guild master, or are you just here to check out our wondrous guild hall?" Clockmon spoke with very proper posture and sounded like a gentleman. He waited for a response.

"I was given instructions to be here, but little more then that." Hirem replied, glancing from his paper to the Clockmon. "I suspect I am supposed to see the guild master, but it is rather hard to say." He flipped the paper around and held it up for the Clockmon to see.

It listed a time, the guild hall and a rather ominous 'OR ELSE!'. It ended with a signature that was Hirem's mother; a rather reputable lady on the D.S.S. Tartarus. Hirem scratched the back of his head, smiling awkwardly. "I'm afraid I am a bit out of my element here, doubly so with no real solid information."

Clockmon looked closely at the paper that Hirem showed him. "I see... Well then. I believe I can help you out. If you don't mind I'd like you to follow me." Clockmon said making a motion with his hands. He would turn around and begin to lead Hirem through the crowd of people to a spiral staircase that connected to the balcony. They would stop at the door on the balcony. "Please wait here for a second." Clockmon would say. Clockmon would then open the grand door on the balcony slowly.

The large room behind the door was separated into two parts. On the right side of the room it looked like an organized office space with a large desk, many drawers, filing cabinets and a computer. On the left it looked like a comfortable lounge with a long coffee table, two couches that sat parallel to each other, and two cushioned chairs that as well sat parallel to each other all surrounding the coffee table. There were fancy paintings hanging up all around on the walls in golden framing. At the back of the room was a massive TV screen. Each side of the room was separated by tiled floor on the right side, and comfortable carpet on the left side both just stopping at the middle of the room. A grand chandelier hung from the ceiling lighting up the entire room. The man from earlier was sitting on a couch on the lounge side. A large digimon known as Regulumon was standing at the back of the room in front of the TV facing the entrance with his eyes closed and arms crossed.

The man sat back with his arm on the back of the couch. He would turn his head to look at Clockmon when he entered. "Excuse me master, but there is someone here to meet with you." Clockmon said. "Alright then. Bring him here." The man said. Clockmon motioned for Hirem to enter the room. "Right this way. Be sure to show him the paper." Clockmon said. He then would leave the room and close the door once Hirem was in. "Hello there. You might already know, but just in case." The man stood up and walked over to where Hirem would be standing when he entered the room.

"I am the Guild Master of Eternal Storm, Mavus Jerinaw. Over there is my partner, Jacques." Mavus extended his arm behind himself in Jacques' direction when he introduced him. Jacques opened his eyes and just nodded once to acknowledge the fact that he was being mentioned. "What business do you have with me?" Mavus said. He spoke with a deep and powerful voice.

The lost young man would follow the Clockmon to his apparent destination.

Hirem didn't so much look intimidated as he did overwhelmed by everything going on. He glanced between the Guild Master and his partner at the introductions, then looked to his paper when Mavus asked him a question.

"I was directed to be here." He offered the paper. "I'm Hirem Asher, by the way...if that helps any."

The poor kid was clearly out of his element here.

"Hirem Asher..." Mavus said with an intrigued look on his face. He took the paper and began to read it. He smiled. Suddenly he gave a loud burst of laughter. "That's right. I remember now. I was told you might be coming. I know your mother. You're here to be a member of the guild and receive your partner. Welcome to Eternal Storm! Well, except, you're not quite a member yet. I just thought I'd get that out of the way." Mavus said with a warm and welcoming smile. He started doing things on his D.I.G. then looked back up at Hirem.

"That should do it. I sent your registry key card to your D.I.G. That means you'll be able to go get your digimon partner and then you'll be an official member. Just head down to the registry and show that to the registry desk associate Daisuke. He'll get you your partner. After that you'll be able to accept the quests on the quest board out there. Then ask the Transport Deck's Quest girl after you've decided on a quest that you want to go on the quest that you've chosen. She'll help you from there. Or if you want to take time to just meet the members and hang out, you could do that too." Mavus explained.

"All I want is for you to enjoy yourself here. So if you have anything you want to ask, I'll help you." Mavus said with a smile.

"I...wait what?" Hirem stared blankly at Mavus. This was not at all what he was expecting. Of course his mother would do this to him. She had to have the last laugh.

"Uh...thanks? I think?" The young man fidgeted awkwardly for a long moment. "I don't know what to say. I wasn't expecting this at all."

Hirem looked to his D.I.G, which had literally been shoved into his hands by his mother this morning. "I'll just...go." He pointed towards the door, and stumbled out of the room in a daze. This was not how today was supposed to go at all! There was science he wanted to do! Getting a partner shoved onto him was not science!

Well, not yet at least.

"Just follow my instructions and you'll be fine!" Mavus said with a smile and he gave a little chuckle. He watched as Hirem left the room. He let out a relieved sigh. "I think that went well." Mavus said to Regulumon. "Hm." Is the response Mavus got. He turned around and faced away from the door and began to think to himself.

Jade walked into the Guild Hall and was amazed at how big it was. Her parents were members of this guild, but they kept a lot of the details hush hush. Jade figured they wanted her to be surprised, and surprised she was. She had envisioned the guild hall to be similar to military barracks. Perhaps a bit roomier to accommodate large Digimon, but nothing like the elegant and recreational display she saw before her. She didn't even know where to start. She knew she would have to meet the Guild Master eventually, and considered asking for directions, but instead she wandered the hall taking in the sights. It would be clear to anyone walking by that she was new and somewhat lost.

Clockmon walked down the steps from closing the door to the guild master's room. He was surprised to see another person there he hadn't recognized. "Well well, two new faces in one day. Not bad." Clockmon said. He approached Jade with a proper walk. "Hello there madam. I don't believe I've seen you around here before. You seem lost. Is there anything I can do to help you out?" Clockmon said with his usual gentleman tone. He patiently awaited an answer.

Jade was aimlessly looking around the hall when she heard a voice behind her. "Hello there madam." Jade spun around quickly to see a well dressed Clockmon standing before her, with the air of a proper gentleman. "I don't believe I've seen you around here before," Clockmon continued. "You seem lost. Is there anything I can do to help you out?" He asked her.

Jade smiled and blushed a little. "Yes, hello. My name is Jade Young. I was sent here by my parents to join this guild. They are members, too, but they didn't really tell me much about what to do when I got here. They just said to report to the hall, speak with Guild Master 'Jury-nail', and get my partner. Besides that, I am lost." Jade let out a little giggle, like a schoolgirl. "So, I guess if you know how to any of that, then you will be able to help me sir." Jade stood and waited for Clockmon to respond, pivoting her right foot absentmindedly.

As X walked into the guild hall for the first time he was amazed and speechless it was huge. But he had no time for gawking first he had to find the guild master so he started heading towards the nearest person to ask for directions. For he didn't know if the guild layouts were the same as other places on Tartarous. Seeing as he was new to a guild he wished he could start climbing around but he felt he might get in trouble. But again he was sort of in a hurry. "Exscuse me where is the guild master office."

A Gaomon hear X's question and smiled in response before answering: "Ah, you must be new! Yes, the guild master's office is just over to your right! Welcome to Eternal Storm!" He said.

Clockmon nodded "Sure I can point you in the right direction! Just head over to the door in the back, I believe that other new member is about to go see him too. Why don't you both go together?" Clockmon said referring to X who asked a Gaomon member the same question.
