Mission 5: Renewed memories and rusted bonds.

*Dante is strangely absent from this video, but Coronamon appears to be sitting on the floor next to a bed. His tail is curled onto his lap and he seems to have been crying. In fact, he still hasn't gotten his sobs fully under control by the time he starts recording.*

Since...since a lot of you know Dante and are friends with him... *Sniff.* I should probably tell you. He's- *Gulp.* He's de- *Choke.* he's gone. It was...I think it was an accident, but... *Sniffle.* Humans don't turn into eggs, do they?

[ Is someone currently dividing by Zero right now? Because he is pretty sure the two of them should never meet ever. ]

Don't throw that word around.

Considerin' I was just a shishkebob, I doubt human medicine would'a done you much good. And the kid was just fine. And I doubt the ass who just left would accept treatment even if someone offered.

I was most worried about how the two of 'em would handle it 'til I figured out how to tell 'em I wasn't dead.

Well...getting run through is usually a good indicator of death, so I'm not surprised. Based on your reaction though...either this is a common occurrence or people in this..."Digital World" don't die quite like they do in the real one.

[Laguna would have thought more about this, but Squall's comment brought his eyebrow up in an arch as he turned to look at him with a half cocked smile]

What word?

Action

[innermonologues]

Tch... nevermind.

[ He glares at the wall and keeps to himself over here. He'd only get harassed if he brought it up. Besides right now the focus should be on Dante over there, not him. ]

Action

[hellspawnedhero]

Pretty common for me. Kinda lost track of how many times I've gotten stabbed, but I'm pretty sure it's at least seven by now.

Oh yeah...that's the third time Vergil's done it, isn't it?

Yup.

Action

[bewarethefaeries]

Yikes...you must be like a human pincushion or something if you're still walking around after all that damage. Then again...I did break almost every bone in my body once and I'm still doing relatively okay; so I guess it isn't so bad.

( Who thinks jumping off into the ocean via tickling is a smart idea? )

[ Squall just rolls his eyes at Laguna's comment and watches them both converse instead. ]

Action

[hellspawnedhero]

Well, I ain't exactly entirely human. Normally got enough demon blood in me to shrug somethin' like that off.

Action

[bewarethefaeries]

[Demon blood? Like...an actual demon? Today was just full of surprises and it was all beginning to wear on Laguna like a rusty belt sander. This was asking a lot of a guy to just up and accept off the bat, but fortunately for Dante, Laguna had been around to talk with him before that knowledge came to light. Demon blood or no, he seemed like a nice enough person; and if Squall trusted him, then he didn't have a reason not to]

Wow...sounds useful if you can shake off full on impalement and keep going.

Action

[innermonologues]

I did warn you about this.

[ He's just sayin'. ]

Action

[hellspawnedhero]

Came in handy, yeah. Had to learn to deal with pain the old fashioned way, though.

*Turning to Squall.*

And you warned me about fightin' digimon, didn't say a thing about gettin' into fights with other de- *Oops.* humans.

*It feels strange to be calling himself and Vergil human. He's always thought of himself as like a human, but not quite one.*
