[Maybe it's a good thing there's so little new Chosen this round. Or maybe a bad thing? If there were more, they would have probably helped calm her down...

...In any case, the whole D-Terminal thing is a bit too elaborate to be a scam, and the beast she may have kicked around a fair bit doesn't seem to be a mindless monster. Anyway, the little red... thing is lying dizzy on the floor right now. Eh, it's not permanent. She's got more matters to worry about than a creature who might just be pretending.

Scrolling through the D-Terminal a bit (after tedious attempts, she's not good at mechanics okay_, she's somehow figured out how to broadcast a message. Smart network idea. Her face is a bit too close to the screen, but it's still pretty clear she's angry.]

My name is Edea Lee. [Fuck beating the bush, she's gonna set it on fire.] If anyone knows about the whereabouts of my friends, please inform me immediately. Their names are Tiz Arrior, Agnés Oblige and Ringabel.

If you're trapping us here, father, you still... [...dammit this thing is live isn't it she should've planned beforehand...] ...underestimate us. [Yeah, smooth. Totally intimidating.

Moving on though. Cue the device flashing around wildly before she figures out how to show her fainted Guilmon to the network.] And what exactly is this thing? I get that it's a Digimon, but what is it?

[give this girl a fucking literature degree]

Comments

[heartdive]

No more than anyone else has been. We all kinda get into trouble here.

[mrgrgrgr]

That doesn't sound like a positive thing.

[Not to say she isn't used to that, though.] What exactly is the extent of 'trouble' here?

[heartdive]

You just get used to it after a while.

[ :d all part of trying to save the world - or worlds, in Sora's case. ]

Anyway, you can kinda see that the worlds are kind of merging, right? We've got to stop that. It's not really good for any world. The dude that has the thingie that's doing that is kind of a god- like Digimon.

[mrgrgrgr]

[...okay then]

The worlds are merging? [TOTALLY PAID ATTENTION DURING THE VIDEO.] Well... why haven't we stopped them yet? Do we know how to get to them, or what exactly they're using?

[heartdive]

We don't know how to get to the Digimon that has the, uh, program now. I think there's also some fighting between the god Digimon about it too...

[mrgrgrgr]

[WOW THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A FUCKING MESS AT ALL]

...Fighting amongst Gods? How do we know they're fighting, then?

[heartdive]

That's, uh... Well that's kind of why we're here, in this town. The last one was a battleground.

[mrgrgrgr]

[Oh.]

So we're the scouts and the warriors?

[heartdive]

We're really all this place has for that, yeah.

[mrgrgrgr]

Hm...

[...] So, I take it that this God Digimon is harming the worlds by merging them together, with disregard for the people and the Digimon alike?

[heartdive]

Pretty much, yeah.

I don't think Jupitermon, the original guy that started this, thought that it would hurt people, but it has. The dude that has it now? He probably doesn't even care.

[mrgrgrgr]

So another being taking advantage of someone's mistake? [Huff.] I've heard enough, then. I can see we're the white in this situation.

[heartdive]

White? What do you mean we're in the white?

[mrgrgrgr]

Oh, that's just how I see things- black and white. Good and evil.

[heartdive]

I guess that's not a bad way of looking at things.

[mrgrgrgr]

Definitely not in my experience. Being able to judge things for yourself and following suit is better than being a mindless puppet any day.

[heartdive]

Obviously. It's just... I don't think things are always so black and white.

Sometimes people lose their way. Doesn't make them evil. I heard that Juptiermon used to be a great Digimon. Maybe he's just lost his way too.

[mrgrgrgr]

Oh, don't worry. I understand that.

[NO YOU DO NOT EDEA] I've seen a fair share of people driven by noble causes gone horribly awry... true evil takes the form of those who twist good goals to their advantage.

I definitely can't say much about Jupitermon, I don't know him, and only know he's started this. From what you've said, though... since he probably isn't in charge now and it's a third party, I suspect there's someone or something black as pitch working here.

[heartdive]

Maybe. I mean I've seen stuff like that happen. Really I just want what's best for this world and the Digimon that live here.

[mrgrgrgr]

That's reasonable to want.

[He doesn't seem like a bad guy, at least.] What's your name, by the way?
