[ Chika had thought about making this post for quite a while, but... something kept holding her back from doing it. That actually saying what she wanted to say would... make it all the more real. It was kinda upsetting to think about what happened back in the city. How the city wasn't there anymore. And well... how useless they were.

It was just like with those Digimon that were killed by those soldiers back in her world, only this time Chika and Biyomon weren't able to suddenly access a higher level evolution to deal with it.

But this is a post that she really has to make, isn't it? ]

Umm... hi everyone. I know I haven't really been on the network lately and stuff. I've been thinking about a lot of stuff and it's been pretty crazy. And getting to Hospitown is taking a long time too.

[ Though she doesn't mind it all that much. It makes it easier to think without having to get used to a new place. ]

But umm... once Masaru-niichan and I get up there, I... we really need to start training more. I think all of us need to. Jupitermon came after us for a reason and... I don't think he's going to stop just because he blew up the city. Not with all of us escaping like that.

If we don't all get stronger... we're not going to stand a chance again him. But... I don't want to see anything like that happen again. We need to be able to stop him next time!

[ She's starting to choke up a little bit here, so it might be time to end the message but first... ]

I think we're going to be there in a couple more days. If anyone wants to start training to get stronger? Let me and Biyomon know, okay?

[Hi, travellers and Hospitown refugees! There's static, and then a transmission. And pink. Lots of pink. the camera focuses in, and out a little - and the blurry pink turns into a face. A worried looking face. It's a Biyomon!]

H-hello. This is my first transmission. My name is Biyomon. I finally found my destined, so it's nice to meet you all. I hope to work with you. Please be kind to me.

[And there's a small amount of murmuring behind her. A teenage boy has his back to the camera and appears to be lying down, sleeping heavily. There might be quite a bit of seeming nonsense coming out of his mouth, with heavy snoring.]

This... is my destined. If he were awake, I'm sure he would introduce himself, but he's not too good at the sleeping... at night thing. Um, anyway... it's about him that I have a question. I was wondering if any... experienced with humans Digimon listening might be kind enough to answer. It's... complicated.

[There's a small pause, and Biyomon looks downward for a short time, then back to the lens.]

He... doesn't want to work with me.

Since he's arrived, all he's been interested in are affairs that have been going on in his own world. It's not his fault. He's worried for his friends - We're connected. That's how I know. I've heard everything that's happened to him - felt them - like I was there - since I was a Digi-egg, and... I understand he's scared right now.

[Another pause.]

Anyway... He's got amnesia. He's had it for a long time, and it drives him almost mad. I can feel how frustrated he gets, even if he hides it. I told him recently that if he helps me, us, the Digital World -- then I'd fill in the gaps for him. He... got angry that I'd hold something like that to ransom.

Eventually he agreed, of course -- but... this isn't how I thought it'd be at all. I've known him all of my life, and... I wanted, more than anything, to be his friend. That's why I left my island to come here, that's why -- I feel horrible about what I said. And I'm worried. I've heard that if someone's sleepwalking, you don't wake them up. That it's the worst thing! What if it's the same with memory loss? What if telling him things makes something awful happen to him?

I also feel horrible about telling him if he travels with me, I'll fill in the gaps. I've known him all my life. I like him. I wanted, more than anything, to be his friend, but... friends don't have conditions. I'm scared he'll never see me as a friend now.

...This has been more longwinded than I would like. I'm sorry. But if anyone can help... I'd really appreciate it.

001 | video (forward dated to the 10th)

[hatefully]

[ The video feed clicks on to reveal a tired-looking pink Digimon, perched on the railing from which the curtain that separated the beds in the Hospitown rooms, the (stolen, if you must know) D-Terminal clutched in its claws. Biyomon paused, carefully reviewing what he had to say before actually speaking. In a soft voice, clearly trying to keep the noise level down low: ]

Finally, thought he'd never go to bed...

Are Chosen normally this bad at, say sleeping regularly? Eating? Talking to other people?

[ He wasn't asking Forte to be a social butterfly, but talking to nobody else at all was downright concerning. He'd put up with his partner's oddities, yet he couldn't let this state of affairs go for forever. The Digimon's voice grows a little more heated. ] It's been days now and my partner hasn't talked to anybody! He broods, he floats around, and he glares at everything! And that's it. Really starting to think he's either incredibly against conversation or just plain... weird.

[ Which was not to say this was the only problem Forte presented on his mind, or there weren't other off things that were slowly beginning to concern Biyomon about his partner, because there were multitudes, like the coldness in his eyes. Like the way he would stand there and look at people like they were bugs he was considering squishing. Or like that act of minor theft he'd committed upon hours after his arrival that had resulted in both of them hightailing it from the general store and then Biyomon had to flitch some BIT from their starter account unnoticed and send it back to the understandably upset store owner to pay for that brown cloak Forte had taken.

He fluffs up his feathers. ]

I noticed other partners used the Terminals when it came to stuff about their humans [ or whatever Forte was, he sure hadn't reacted well that one time Biyomon had called him one (Biyomon had not repeated that error. he liked his feathers right where they were, thank you) ] like this.

So, some veteran advice, guys? Answers? Help?
