[Generally Dave isn't fond of being on speaker of any kind, but with all of the dark, there aren't many options left. He's been mulling over a message to get out for a while now, but he's decided winging it will work best.

And no, Hawkmon, that wasn't an intentional pun. Don't laugh, it isn't funny.

Okay it kind of is.]

So let me get this straight- we have the ability to suck people in from different universes but we can't handle a black out? Poor form. The dim screen glow is super handy here but when you're new it's kind of hard to avoid bumping into whatever available surface there is. You know, at this rate I'm kind of expecting to run head first into some googoomon crotch.

Digimon, Dave!

Whatever.
Look, this is a long shot but Jade, John, Rose? If you guys made it here could you like, do me a fucking favor and text me? Hell, I'll take speaker crab if the option is there. You hear that? Speaker crab. When did all of my friends become flakes, I swear to god..

I'm not a flake!

No. I know. You're a bird- a googoomon- a- can you not go through my stuff, hot wings? [Can you hear the sounds of a bird lovingly shuffling through beautiful, personal photos? Because Dave can.]

What are these?

None of your bee's wax is what they are. Fuck man, they're photos, what do they look like? Give 'em here. [There are sounds of scuffling as Dave lovingly grapples with his new best digi friend.]

You certainly have a lot of photos of yourself, Dave.

Is that judgment I hear? Wow. I thought we were meant to be best friends and here you are.. [At this point he'll realise he still has the feed on.] ..Judging me.

I'm out. Restart. Just gonna leave a helpless plea for some light or information here. I'd really like some power or something so I can get an early start on thanksgiving dinner, but whatever, I'll take what I can get.

[ Oh she likes the sound of this one. Interesting, loud, and with quite the vocabulary. She answers his call with a shit-eating grin that's only barely visible due to the bright light of her D-Terminal. ]

You're short enough to run into a Googoomon's crotch? That's impressive. About time someone showed up that was tinier than Velvet.

[Dave responds with his video too, the light being just enough to display his poker face and the screen is reflected beautifully on his aviators.]

What I lack in height I make up for in sarcasm. [He lifts an eyebrow.] Who's Velvet? And for that matter, who are you?

I'm Tousaka, the greatest thing in this dump.

Velvet is the opposite of that. Trust me, once you meet the kid, you'll believe me.

[ It feels good to see her smirk in the reflection though. ]

I'm not sure if I should be excited that you're great or disappointed that this is a dump. I guess it beats a meteor.

Right?
Better than a meteor? Yeah. It's gotta be.

Sounds like Velvet has the makings to be my rival. They aren't another googoomon, are they?

No, Velvet is Velvet. Kind of a loud-mouthed idiot who practically answers to every one of these calls because he really has nothing better to do with his time.

[ She speaks so fondly of him. ] Oh, but I don't know if this place is better than a meteor.

Are you from space? I am also from space. The digital world in space. On the moon.

Oh, well in that case I take it back. They sound a hell of a lot like someone I know back home. You wouldn't happen to have a Karkat here, would you?

It was a pretty shitty meteor, to be fair. Nothing to do but draw dicks and befriend aliens.

Nope, I'm from Texas but they kicked me out of Earth for being too cool. [That is exactly how it went.] The moon sounds fun, but is it really made of cheese?

Is that some kind of Digimon? They can turn into vehicles sometimes, but I've never heard of a Carcatmon...

[ There's his answer. ] Oh, but is that what you did with your free time? Draw dicks... well, there's plenty of dicks here to be drawn I'm sure, but I'm afraid the answer is no. The moon isn't made out of cheese.

So how does one get kicked off the planet?

Nah, he's just a regular old alien. You'll know him when you see him, or hear him, trust me.

I aided in the drawing of dicks, I rapped, I built cities out of cans. I had the time of my life, but it got old after year one.

Well that's a disappointment. I know where I won't be spending summer vaycay. [His shades are lit with sadness, really.] The short story is that my friends and I played a game and the world got destroyed in the process. The long story would take at least three movies and a TV special to explain.

Great, so they brought you here so you can destroy another world by playing a game. Do us all a favor and not stay away from the arcade. We've got enough destruction on our hands as is.

[ In case he didn't get the memo of DARKNESS going on. ]

Actually there isn't a hell of a lot I can do without the discs, a computer and a server player or two so I think you're safe for now.

The only think I can fuck around with is time, and I'm taking a hiatus from that to practice my, uh, art.

Well, aren't we lucky? You'll be taking your time with this hiatus then, I assume?

[ She really shouldn't ask because then it might give the impression she cares, but: ] You're an artist?

You can thank the sweet merciful lord Snoop Dogg for my benevolence. Your kitchen clocks are safe from my terrible rampage. I don't even know if my powers work anyway..

[Oops, she engaged him.] Well, I don't like to make a huge deal out of it but I'm kind of internet famous. I have like, ten blogs. Shit is cash, but I don't let it get to my head.

Edited 2013-09-23 02:13 (UTC)

Oh no, a person with ten blogs. Clearly you must be my mentor in the way of the internet because of it.

[ Dat sarcasm doe. ]

I'd be happy to, for a small fee. I gotta get some funds together so I can start re-imprinting myself on the net.

Great, then you can instruct me properly.

[ Her best attempt at a dumb blonde voice follows: ] What's a byte? I don't think you're supposed to put any part of the computer into your mouth...
