Tentomon...

I am recording, Koushirou, though maybe you rest?

[The screen turns on just in time to catch the sun actually rising. The darkness brought on by Lotusmon seems to have disappeared, revealing the city in shambles. Buildings are falling apart or completely destroyed. Many who were caught in the wake of rampaging Digimon lie injured or dying. The city is in shambles, and the thing that the D-Terminal is focusing on is the Dark Field that appeared at the beginning of Lotusmon's "attack".

Standing before it is Koushirou Izumi, looking worse off than he did before. He's swaying on his feet while he holds his head down, his gaze focused on the device in his hands. Buttons are being pressed rapidly, and with that look of exhaustive determination, it's obvious he didn't hear Tentomon's worried reply.

Finally, Koushirou stops moving, his fingers freezing in place, hovering over the buttons of the device. For a moment, nothing happens, but soon the Dark Field wavers, warps, like a reflection distorted by gently moving water. It begins to flicker, and suddenly, it's gone. The Dark Field no longer appears in the recording of the D-Terminal.]

Koushirou! You did it!

[A small, tired smile plays on Koushirou's lips before the device falls from him hands to clatter on the ground. He sways once more before collapsing, falling first to his knees then onto his side.

Tentomon calls out, turning the comm device off, but not before it catches a quick view of the Chosen who had fallen or purposefully gone into the Dark Field.]

*The first thing people might notice about Dante's voice, aside from the fact that he never just uses voice, is that he sounds tired. He's trying not to sound too bad so people won't worry, but he can't keep the exhaustion out of his voice.*

Well, that sucked.

*Understatement there, Dante.*

In case ya missed it, I'm back. Sorry I worried ya, never thought I'd be gone that long. But I see the sun's back! The city's kind of a wreck, but it doesn't look like anything we can't rebuild.

So. I think survivin' that calls for a celebration. Or at least an excuse to kick back, stuff our faces and pretend we didn't just go through one form of hell or another. How about we have us a get together this Wednesday, in the cafeteria? I'll bring music, booze and some snacks, but otherwise bring whatever the hell you want.

[Harley appears on screen with a cute little Kyaromon on her shoulder chewing on a cracker]

Hey there gang!

So the lights are back on, boy was that fun huh?

[Eye roll]

So with that nasty dark area in the middle of town, I figure people probably wandered into it. Aside from that being both hilarious and horrific, I'm offering my services for people who need someone to talk to.

After all, I am a professional psychologist, and the only one in town.

As for those of you who already have standing appointments, I expect you on time after last week.

Anyone come on over! My apartment is open to you! 

[Oh boy oh boy, there's an Impmon showing up via some new comers' D-Terminal. It looks like it's parked in an area near the Terminal Area and behind it is a young girl who is... currently smacking her forehead with her palm.]

I, um... I mean I'm really glad I got a human partner, it's a total honor here. And I'm glad mine showed up after all the stuff with the things, but!

I think mine's broken. She's been doing that since she got outside, hitting herself, and and... arguing with herself.

[While the Impmon is talking anyone paying attention will see the young girl has actually stopped and came up behind the digimon.]

Are you talking to yourself, organic? [That... that is not a voice that one would except coming from a girl looking like that. Or maybe it is, as the girl leans down and peers at the device from over Impmon's shoulder.]

N-no Miss Whirl! [That gets Whirl making a face.] Just trying to see if anyone you know is here too, you know um. Safety in numbers?

[Impmon laughs a bit nervously as Whirl simply says "Whatever" before backing off, and the digimon shoots the device a distressed look before ending the message.]
