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?

[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.

[ 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.

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.]

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

[He seems completely serious, too.]
