006 ☁ Video ☁ Dated to Arrival

[heartdive]

You know I think six or seven months in one place is the longest I have stayed anywhere besides home. Almost forgot what it was like, traveling to new places and running around them. It was kinda nice.

Not that I don't think this town is neat. Just feels like it took a long time getting here.

[ as usual, Ryudamon and Renamon are close by. and Ryudamon isn't going to let that one go. ]

That would be because you felt like you had to explore everything you could get your hands on.

[ Vixie gives Ryu a little nudge and the dragon makes a face. ]

Well I didn't mind it. I wanted to stay at Tree-Top Isle longer. You wouldn't let us go down.

For good reason! Someone has to be the responsible one here.

[ Sora and Vixie both break out laughing while the other digimon grumbles and tries to contain his grin. after it dies down, Sora gets his arms around his partners' shoulders, looking at the camera. ]

Anyway. We're here now. So I feel like I should catch up with the people that got here ahead of us. We should do something!

Comments

[heartdive]

They do. I'm not sure what kind of person I'd be right now if it wasn't for my friends.

[ good way of putting it, Bee. it's making him smile. ]

[proveyourmetal]

I wouldn't be here, if it weren't for mine.

What light there is in my spark is from my teammates.

[heartdive]

Spark...

[ yeah. He knows that phrase ]

You're from the same place as Wheeljack?

[proveyourmetal]

Let me guess. Friend of yours too?

[heartdive]

That would be a very good guess.

[ heh heh ]

[proveyourmetal]

Why am I not surprised?

Yes. We're both from the same world. From Cybertron.

[heartdive]

Guess no one should be. We just started to talk and that was about it. Probably one of my better friends here.

[ he has a lot of friends, true. but seems like he hangs around WJ and Repliku the most. ]

All the more reason that everything will work out just fine.

[proveyourmetal]

I hope so, Sora.

[And when he gets back to his own world, he'll do more than just hope.]

[A bit of a laugh as he types]

Yeah. Wheeljack's pretty good with problem solving. With explosions.

[heartdive]

Promise.

[ because he's gotta believe stuff like that too. there's no room for anything less. ]

I don't think he's been able to blow anything up here.

[proveyourmetal]

[A promise. No future is guaranteed.

But when Sora says it like that...

[Bee's got a soft smile. Like he'd said before. Nice kid.]

Really?

Give him something combustible, and see how fast that'll change.

[heartdive]

...See, I can believe that. He's been using flutes for swords.

[proveyourmetal]

... Using what for swords now?

[What are those?]

[heartdive]

Flutes.

[ oh, right... ]

Musical instruments you usually blow in to make noise.

[proveyourmetal]

[He's just going to try and get a visual on this.]

Are they sharp?

[heartdive]

Nah. Just long pipe-like. Hurt pretty good when smacked by one though.

[proveyourmetal]

[Lord. Wheeljack with metal pipes. Talk about blunt force trauma.]

Guess he had to make due.

Flutes aren't exactly like his swords, but with digimon doing most of the fighting, there aren't many places to get decent weapons.

[heartdive]

I just got lucky that mine wasn't taken from me.

But for a guy that old "making due," he sure gave me a workout.

[proveyourmetal]

They let you keep your weapons?

And Wheeljack's pretty good at wearing you out. He gives as good as he gets.

You're human, aren't you Sora?

[heartdive]

We don't think it's like "keeping" anything. He thinks that since his swords were kind of a part of himself, being made human kind of took that away.

But since, yeah, I am human, my keyblade wouldn't be. Actually, everything on my person just was kind of scattered around me when I arrived.

LMFAO!!! Inventory bag explosion.

[proveyourmetal]

I ask because humans and Cybertronians have very different definitions of 'old.'

[A little humor there.]

[But he sympathizes with his teammate.]

It wasn't just swords that being human took away from Wheeljack.

yes. they spent hours cleaning it up 83c

[heartdive]

Yeah, I know. But as far as looks go... He looks only a few years younger than Cid.

[ he can make old jokes about you too, Bee. give him a reason to. ]

So I know that you're likely an old man too. [ like right there. and he sticks out his tongue, teasing. ] Too me, anyway.

[ his expression turns more thoughtful at the last text. ]

What do you mean by that?

[text-->Video]

[proveyourmetal]

[Sora, you cheeky little-]

First off-

[The feed changes to Video just for a bit. Just long enough for Bee to look into the camera and give Sora a casual two finger salute. Definitely not an old man. He looks a good few years younger than Leon, and maybe about Yuffie's.]

[This may be the first time he's seen Bee's face.]

[heartdive]

Guess I can't be right all the time.

[ and might be smirking juuuuust a little bit. ]

[proveyourmetal]

[He's smiling as he shakes his head. Then the feed cuts and it's back to text. Because that's how he rolls.]

Has Wheeljack told you a little about what Cybertronians are like?

[heartdive]

[ Sora thinks, trying to recall... ]

Giant robots that live for a very, very long time. But that's about all that's been said, except that what my home calls a "heart" and a "spark" are pretty much the same thing.
