[Oh hey look! It's a video from Hic-

NOPE JUST KIDDING IT'S FEARLESS.]

Ey' folks! Betcha ya thought we was dead again, huh? Not this time! Hic just fell asleep for a month.

Fearless.

Ooor we can be lame and tell the truth!

Naaah, we just needed ta'get away from town for a while. Yaknow, clear our heads and junk. I mean I'm pretty sure dyin' kinda takes a toll on a guy, don'tcha think? We weren't alone or sucked off by some data stream this time, at least. Nah, we had BWG with us!

[From the corner of the feed Kotemon can be seen, cautiously patting Fearless' side.]

So um....he's...um....our friend now, right?

You kiddin'? BWG was always our friend kid!

[Wow ok, looks like someone got over their paralyzing BlackWargreymon fear.]

BWG's my man, I'll tell ya that much! Now see I just gotta get workin' on gettin' ta' Ultimate...

But anyways, so what'd we miss?

[Hiccup can be heard groaning from the other end of the room as he tinkers with his leg with a screwdriver.]

You know, I'm pretty sure they want to talk to me, not you.

Says you!

Well....the last thing I remember doing before leaving town was helping in the shelter while Titamon was attacking. Right after Kotemon showed up I went back to my apartment and then left a few days after that.

Lotusmon died.

I don't know much after that because I wound up going on a trip to explore the area and try and find out more about who holds power where.

As it turns out, there's not a lot of information available on this island. A pretty good amount of salvageable electronic stuff, though.

[Ah. Well good to hear that nothing else has dissolved into utter chaos during his absence.]

I'm...guessing you're feeling better now from the whole....virus thing too, huh?

Yeah... not that I was particularly good at being evil.

To be honest, I'm a lot better at breaking things when I'm trying to help. [YOU ALMOST CAN'T TELL THIS IS A PAINED LAUGH.]

How about you? I mean, obviously you're better since you said 'too,' right?

[Hiccup nods, smiling slightly.]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've mostly recovered from being dead.

That's good...

Me too, for what it's worth. It's a lot less painful than you'd think, huh.

After the fact it is, anyway.

Not like I'm looking forward to it ever happening again or anything.

Me either.

I've already had to promise three people I wouldn't be that dumb again.

Hey, at least that wasn't really you, right? They shouldn't be too hard on you since you weren't the only person acting out.

...Yeah but.

They really think I'm silly enough to do it again for a dumb reason.

[Because he probably is.]

...Do they really?

Well... yes.

I'm also not allowed to live alone, apparently.

[Oh Ed.]

Really now? Here I thought Guilmon could keep an eye on you.

Guilmon has nearly set the building on fire.

[...He and Rin might talk. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE TO KEEP MY STORY STRAIGHT.]

Twice.

[OH GOD IM HORRIBLE]

....

R-right.

[Ok maybe someone needs to watch BOTH of them.]

Well...at least it was an....a...ccident?

[There's a question mark there because was it really??]
