There we go! It's on!
Yeah? [ There's an intake of breath. ] If you say so.
All right, hands up if you're a "Chosen Child" who is actually over 18 years old and not actually a child. Metaphorical hands. Please don't actually raise them, you won't do anyone a lick of good here. So far as I can tell, this place is far too insane to be run by children and would be some kind of prank if Kera wasn't some kind of... talking... squid... thing. Still not sure what the hell, by the way.
Also: need suggestions and directions to good places for dinner. If I'm going to be stuck here, I am not going to live off bits and bytes and takeout, all right? Not happening.

[Waver frowned in disapproval, but didn't complain any further. He'd met less agreeable Digimon, after all. And the guy he was partnered with didn't sound all that bad.]
I really don't know why 'children' is the default term for it--probably the usual age range for people with these partners until all of us started showing up. Now that you mention, it really isn't all that fitting in the given situation.
no subject
And by "the situation," I presume you mean the end of the world. Because that's what I'm understanding the situation to be.

[this kid has seen some shit, friend]
If it were the actual end of the world, I'd think day-to-day circumstances a little more dire than this.
no subject
Speaking of day-to-day... Is that it? We just hang round 'til the problems come to us? Really?
no subject
I assure you I'm aware of how futile it sounds.
no subject
All the other kids, probably.

It's irritating to know we're supposedly here to save this world and yet we're this limited in our efforts to help it.

I'm placing my money on C. Or I would if I had much of any.
no subject
Or eyes.
Hah. Very funny. But, no, at least I can help organize. Paper pushing is part of my job back home.

[Pausing, Waver seemed to be seriously considering this for a minute.]
I don't...think anyone is, now that you mention it. Not in a concrete sense--there's usually a handful of the reliable type you'd expect to step up in an immediate crisis, but nothing I could call definite.
no subject
[ He sounds amused under the dismay. Organization in any meaningful way must be impossible without some kind of hierarchy to follow in times of crisis or the follow-up. ]
You sure the kids aren't in charge here?
no subject
Sorry--I got so sidetracked I forgot to ask your name.
no subject
Shannon Vaughn. Keramon! Kera. I'm Kera. ... Yours?
no subject
I'm Waver Velvet. [Said with so much of a straight face he has to be telling the truth.] My partners are Palmon and Biyomon--god knows where they've gone off to. It's nice to meet you both.
no subject
[ ... Waver Velvet. Well, then. ] Partners? Plural?
Yep, some people are just so greedy they need a second one. Don't worry, I know you'd never get tired of me and upgrade for the newer model, Shannon.
Don't be too sure.
no subject
Plural, a lot of us have two at the moment. It's...complicated. Simply put, there was this whole huge incident recently where we learned the ones we started out with--in my case, Palmon--are replicas in some fashion. The second ones we met are the ones we were apparently intended to have when we arrived.
What that means for people like you that just showed up with one, I'm afraid I'm not certain. It's proven to be a mess about two steps short of 'widespread existential crisis'.
no subject
I'm your intended partner, by the way. Accept no substitutes.
Okay. So... what you're saying is that some people got knock-offs and now they've got the real deal, and the rest of us are just skipping that entirely? [ He's speaking to both Waver and Kera now. ]
Like I said: they got greedy.
no subject
Honestly? I...don't know. The whole situation's nothing I could have even tried to predict, I'm pretty sure most if not all of us were blindsided entirely.
So it's hard to say just what the facts of the whole thing are or even why someone went to the trouble of trying to replicate our intended partners.
