themainframe | [video] - What happens when a shark loses all his teeth?

[The feed turns on and there's a very frazzled looking Gotsumon on the screen.]

Um...I think there's something wrong with Ryoga.

[She turns the D-terminal to focus on her partner, who's just sitting on his bed and looking...well, not quite right at all. People who know Shark know that he's ~~the three C's - cool, cocky, and confident~~ prideful and has a near perpetual look of annoyance on his face. This Shark looks defeated. And depressed. And if one watches closely, he might be shaking a little.]

He's been like this for a while now and he won't snap out of it! I...I hate it!

[The D-terminal jerks a little, as Gotsumon stops herself from throwing a tantrum, which would not be a very pleasant experience for viewers.]

Is anyone else having problems? I think I saw some people mentioning others acting weird and stuff. Does anyone know how to fix him? I'm tired of him acting like a weakling. He won't leave me alone, he won't leave the apartment, and this...this moron won't even duel me!

[That last point is probably the most alarming to her. Deep breaths, Gotsumon. Deep breaths.]

...I just want my Ryoga back.

..He won't even duel?

Did you finally start beating him, then?

Not even close!

[Normally she doesn't like admitting defeat, but it's kind of obvious Shark surpasses her in dueling.]

Oh... then I guess he just snapped. Oh well.

"Oh well?" "Oh well!?" is that all you have to say?

Is it my problem if he can't be assed to do anything about whatever problems he has?

I admit he has problems, but this isn't natural for him!

[She glares right at the camera.]

If you're mad about when you got chewed out by him, then fine. I don't want your help anyway!

[There's a Candlemon with a worried look on the screen. She keeps looking over her shoulder nervously.]

Your partner too? Mine has been, um. [She's trying to think of a nice way to say bitchy.] Different too.

If by "different" you mean "totally friggin' stupid," then yes. Different.

[Hanging around her partner has given her a very biting sarcastic streak when she's irritated.]

Not stupid, Ryan's just -

MIMI!

[She freezes, and then looks over her shoulder.] C-coming! [Then her voice drops to a whisper.] Help me.

[Wow, that was a pretty loud shout. Gotsumon doesn't know if her next message will get through but...]

Maybe we should have a meeting. Like... "My Human is Acting Weird" meeting.

[It takes a while for Mimi to respond, but she does eventually. She looks a little like she's trying to take up as little space as possible.]

That . . . If I could get away, that would be. There's something wrong with them.

[She looks like she's going to cry.]

[ Lunamon knows she'll be in trouble once Rin comes across this message, but maybe someone who has actually fought her might know better. ]

Well um Rin has been really sad lately. I hear her c-crying all the time, but she locks everyone out so that even if she was, we wouldn't be able to prove it.

[ Pausing, she considers what she just saw. ] Kind of like Ryoga is. Is there something going on with all the Chosen to have them act t-this way? It's scary.

[Oh, it's that Lunamon! Gotsumon is still pretty sorry they had to fight that one time.]

Her too? Is something wrong with all the crabbymon humans?

[ Thankfully she's not like her Chosen one and grudges are a new thing for her. So there's no animosity in her voice when she speaks, only concern. ]

I think so. They aren't the only ones behaving strangely...

I thought so. So, we brought up the idea of a meeting to talk about this problem, you wanna join?

You're inviting me? [ Yes, that's what it sounds like, Lunamon. ] Really? Me?

Maybe you should make him go out.

[It's said with a bit of a snarl, a bit unlike Guilmon's usually happy self.]

He shouldn't be sad. Tamers are supposed to be strong for their partners! They're supposed to do things with you, not hiding from everybody. That's mean, and you should make him stop that.

[Tamers are supposed to keep their promises... What Gotsumon may not realize is that this virus has hit more than Chosen.]

Do you think that will really help? Maybe...I guess. He doesn't like staying in the apartment for long.

Being stuck inside won't help, especially if he doesn't like it! That's why you have to take him outside. Hiding's no fun.

Okay, I'll try that! I'll drag him out if I have to!

Have you tried hitting him? I think they call it knocking some sense into someone!

[He seems completely serious, too.]

Yeah. It didn't do anything.

[She has to be careful though. She's kind of made out of rock.]

[All the better for hitting with.]

Oh, this is serious... We're gonna need a hammer!

A hammer? Are you sure?

Trust me, I'm an expert on this kinda stuff.
