[at first, the video flips on to a screen partially obscured by a renamon's clawed hand. she's holding the communicator out to someone. her voice is low, but firm.]

[there's a somewhat indignant huff, and then small (human) hands reach for the comm. the video shuts off. a few minutes later, text:]

[culver]

Oh. I do not know if we had those at home.

The Underground.

[hibunny]

Is that a city or a neighborhood?

[culver]

A city under the ground.

[hibunny]

[The surprise shows on his face.]
