[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]

[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?
