The Great Migration Plotting
As one of our major plots is coming to a wrap at the very end of the month, we figured it would be a much better idea to have this information up before the monthly wrap-up goes up rather than during. Therefore, here's all you'll need to know about The Great Migration.
The Chosen will be pushed to evacuate, to any of the other Terminals or to File Island's Primary Village. A message will go out following that informing the Chosen of Hospitown and the Folder Continent...with the only problem being, that's a seven day trip, any way you cut it.
Folder is, relatively to Terminal Island, southwest, while Server is northwest. From the River Terminal, the Chosen can take a Trailmon, and the tracks will split in northern and southern paths. You're looking for the southern path here. Along the way, the Trailmon will have to stop and refuel, and they will do so on several different islands. Here is where you can have some fun.
There are five major refueling stops between Terminal Island and the Folder Continent.
You are of course free to explore Terminal Island, File Island, or what is revealed of Server, perhaps try and find things on your own, find your own way to Hospitown. You're free to not go to Hospitown.
To reach the last island, you need to have been traveling for at least six days. Pace yourself, and be realistic about traveling time. If your character would get caught up looking at things, maybe missing a train, then they might take longer than seven days.
This is meant to be player-driven. If you get to places like Tree-Top Isle and want to explore the underneath, or request some wild Digimon attacks for other places, we will of course comply, if you put in a request. However, this is for your characters to think on the events of the last few weeks, or to get used to roughing it a little, as the Trailmon? They don't have food for you. On your stops, you're going to need to gather something at the Terminals you stop at, or fish, or gather fruit...or meat, from the weird meat-growing-trees. On all but the first island, there will be places to find food. Even Shadow Isle, if you want to try your luck. If you have an idea for another, smaller island on your way, you're free to do that too. This is all about exploration, after all.
The map for the Folder Continent and its descriptions will be coming at the start of January, before apps open. That will require some exploration as well, but you'll learn more of that as it comes.

There are five major refueling stops between Terminal Island and the Folder Continent.
- Sandbar Island - It is as it sounds. This is an island made entirely of sand, with a few palm trees, where few Digimon are, but some burrow underneath, some lay to sun themselves.
- Autumn Leaf Island - A place all but lifted from another Digital World, the Autumn Leaf Island is a constant bizarre of odd knickknacks and trading items, from those that have fallen through to this world to the ones that have always been here. You might find something valuable...or just a few old screws. The fair itself is located in a grassy crater, the only green life on the island, as the rest of it is covered in snow.
- Shadow Isle - An island with little light. Only your Trailmon can light your path, so don't stray from it, or the Terminal if you step off. If you wander too far away, the Trailmon could leave you, assuming you returned when it couldn't see. The island is full of Dark Area and darkness-type Digimon. Some might be friendly. Others? Probably not.
- San Francisco - Yes. The island of San Francisco. But something's weird. There are no people. The whole island is just lifted up and placed in this Digital-Real World mashup. Some electronics might work. Most do not. Digimon have started crowding around, scavenging most likely. You'll find water-types and flying Digimon mostly. The island is vast, and with no one around, it might be a little eerie...or the perfect place to relax.
- Tree-Top Isle - This is an island where once you reach it, the Trailmon will go up, up, up to a Terminal in the trees. Strangely enough, the tracks are not supported. They just float there, through a village made of connected tree-houses and wooden walkways. Don't fall, it's a mighty long drop, and any Digimon there - mostly Nature Spirits and Deep Jungle types - admit they haven't been down in ages. Who knows what lurks below the trees...? Does anyone want to find out?
You are of course free to explore Terminal Island, File Island, or what is revealed of Server, perhaps try and find things on your own, find your own way to Hospitown. You're free to not go to Hospitown.

Re: QUESTIONS/CONCERNS/ETC.
AND ALSO is there like a point where they just stop picking people up because they want a break.

A Trailmon will run every 45 minutes, starting from 7:00 AM and ending at 10:00 PM. Allowing of course for refueling and the like, delays from station to station.

Re: QUESTIONS/CONCERNS/ETC.
Also an additional question, I've been seeing talk of the D-Streams being able to store items and stuff in them but I can't find this information on the Digivice post.
...Is this a thing they can actually do and if so, what's the limit to what they can store/how does a character go about learning how to do this and/or storing things in them?
Re: QUESTIONS/CONCERNS/ETC.
Items can be found to not REPAIR home-world tech, but you can REBUILD things (such as the creature pod). However, it will take time to get it to work. Finding items, it depends on what you're looking for. To rebuild, it will take a month or more. To learn the Digi-Code so that you can get the tech to actually work will take another month.
In regards to the question of the D-Streams, yes. Items can be stored. It was mentioned in the Evacuation log, but it has now been added to the Digivice Post under D-Streams. If there is something in need of clarification, please don't hesitate to ask!
no subject
Okay, so they wouldn't be able to say, use some of the original parts of their creature pods (like the casing and maybe some of the wiring) and replace things like main electrical components; they'd have to re-build it from the ground up?
And then there's an additional month of work (at least) to get everything to fire correctly, if I'm reading that right?
Oh, and mainly I just wanted to know if the D-Stream storage was something Venusmon would have mentioned they could do/shown the Chosen how to do, or if that was a surprise feature the Chosen would need to work out for themselves.
Also about how much space would a well-packed backpack take in a D-Stream? Presumably it'd be one item, but I'm guessing it'd take up some decent storage space?
no subject
Venusmon would have likely mentioned the storage feature, so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise. If you character missed it, someone else could have mentioned it. It's all in how you wish to play it.
For your standard-sized backpack, well pack, we'll say it takes up two spaces. For something more akin to a military or hiking backpack, three or four would be standard for it being packed to full capacity. Weight plays a big factor in how much space it takes up.
no subject
And okay. I wasn't sure if it was a feature the devices had from the start or one that was added post-Christmas. Having Venusmon exposition works for me. XD
Ah, now I gotcha. Their backpacks waffle in size between standard-size and hiking, but given the amount of stuff they tend to carry, erring towards a hiking backpack is probably more accurate.
...Martin's going to enjoy that storage feature waaaay too much, lol.
Thank you! ^_^
