[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]

[IT TAKES... SOME TIME TO FIGURE OUT TYPING]

I believe not, then.

A Guilmon... are all Digimon different?

[amygdalae]

[Good job for figuring out typing, Edea.]

They are categorized into their own 'species', in a sense, but essentially yes, they are different in some form or fashion.

[mrgrgrgr]

[It was a real dilemma not to break the D-Terminal when she got it, so it's quite an achievement.]

A whole species, but with forms and biology so bizarrely unique? I imagine there's something similar stringing them all together?

[amygdalae]

[You did well, Edea. A+ and all that.]

In a way. It's hard to explain without having some experience yourself, I fear.

[mrgrgrgr]

I see this world is a mystery, even to others.

[Hm.] By the way, what's your name?

[amygdalae]

It's quite the place, all things considered. In my world an entire world made out of data was nothing but a fantasy, even with the technology we had. Experiencing it first hand has been... enlightening, for a lack of a better term.

[Anyway.]

Apologies. My name is Bruce--Bruce Banner.

[mrgrgrgr]

From my experience, I've never even heard the term 'data' before. It's less of a fantasy and more of a completely alien concept.

[Someone she knows is here, though. She's not scared.

Even if she was, hell to letting a stranger know that when there's no real reason to be, is there?.] It's good to meet you, Bruce. Do you come from a reality with machines and data, then?

[amygdalae]

Data is... to put it in a term that doesn't involve computers and machines, it's like scraps of information scattered in pieces, or fragments of something. They then can be collected together to form that something that it makes up.

[Hopefully that's understandable... Bruce doesn't think he's the best at explaining, sometimes.]

A pleasure to meet you too, Edea. As you can probably guess by now, the answer to your question is yes. They are quite prominent in where I come from.

[mrgrgrgr]

[...OKAY SHE GOT IT]

So forms and libraries, except with machines involved?

[SHE REALLY DOESN'T GET HOW THEY MIX TOGETHER BUT OK THEN] I see. So we all come from drastically different realities as well?

[amygdalae]

[HE TRIED, OKAY?]

Quite so. There are some which similar in nature, but there are others who do come from some rather unique places.

[mrgrgrgr]

[GOLD STAR]

Rather unique places? What do you mean?

[amygdalae]

It's a bit hard to explain without having contextual knowledge, but some of the others hail from worlds that are rather different from most.

[For example, ponies. And robots. And superheroes.]

[mrgrgrgr]

Origin isn't as important as conduct now, though. So I guess it doesn't really matter.

[Says the traitor in her homeworld.]

[amygdalae]

[It's okay, Bruce is a wanted man technically. They both have their homeland issues.]

I suppose so, especially now that we're all apparently in this together.

[mrgrgrgr]

I don't mean to be a rain of negativity, but even if we're here to help, seeing how diverse we all are, I'd find it hard to imagine if everyone got along.

Is anyone here a little less than pleasant?

[amygdalae]

You'd be surprised, actually.

[mrgrgrgr]

Is that meant to be a 'yes' or a 'no'?

[amygdalae]

A 'yes', I would say, but I'm sure you won't be convinced until you the proof with your own eyes.

[mrgrgrgr]

[sweats]

And for what reason?

[amygdalae]

Words can only go so far, after all, no matter how others hope otherwise.

[mrgrgrgr]

[sweats even louder

Then again, she kinda also once say someone with a little girl's body systematically commit murder. So there's that.]

Then a name, at least?

[amygdalae]

For...?

[He already does have an idea, but he just wants to... make sure? Something like that.]

[mrgrgrgr]

For whoever you're referring to, as mysterious as they seem.

[amygdalae]

There's a number of people I can list, but I suppose for a start you can speak to Fluttershy. She's been very helpful and kind when I first arrived here.

[...and then there's Tony, but well. Tony is another matter altogether.]

[mrgrgrgr]

[...welp]

Alright, I'll keep an eye out for her.

In the mean time, I need to get to StarCity- talk to you next time, then?

[He is indeed.]
