Hey dudes and dudettes!

Just wanna put a quick shout out to all of you who gave me a pep talk...or smack, since the big throw down. I totally needed it. I still really don't have a clue what I'm gonna do myself but...well Rita is on board.

Rita is apparently my name now.

Yeah! It's the name of this great actress I knew back home and you'd love her if you met her.

If you say so...

Anyway! So WHAT UP New guys!? And girls! We just got a whole bunch of you huh?

Well I'm Gar...or Beastboy. Or changeling. Whatever you prefer. I'm still kinda figuring that out myself. Long story.

Let's get to know each other! I used to be a super hero, greatest job ever by the way. And could shapeshift into any animal!

Speaking of which, what's your favorite animal?

I just got a new job at the arcade so this Friday when I'm working swing by and say hi! I'll even give you a free game on any machine you ask...just one though. I don't want my boss finding out~

Which is why you posted this on the network.

Point taken.

Heh, Or you become a mad scientist.

But science can be pretty awesome too. The only one I'm any good at is like, zoology.

[He flinches a little at the phrase 'mad scientist.'] Haha... yeah. I guess so.

I mean, I've seen friends do all sorts of crazy things with science back home.

Like what?

I just figure, if it weren't for genetic science I wouldn't be here. And my best bud is a cyborg you know?

...yeah, I guess so. But I mean, uh... like one of my friends has a robotic arm and you can't tell it's the real thing--and they rebuilt half of my sister from scratch too after she got blown up though that maybe wasn't so good for everyone else but... a-anyways and they created a new form of energy that wasn't know by anyone before! It's a really good one, too, when it doesn't explode but it doesn't normally do that unless you hit it really hard or something.

I dunno, I don't do science.

That's awesome!

So what do you like to do bug-dude?

..Study and train?

Oh, and I got a job as a server at a burger place, so there's that too!

Cool! Study and train for what?

How are the fries?

...Magic stuff. [He's being evasive, but he's really bad at being evasive so it's prooobably noticeable.]

The fries are really good.

Like a wizard?

Sweet! Any veggie burgers?

Exactly like a wizard!

...And I think so! If not just let me know and I'm sure I can figure something out for you.

As dude that's sweet! Too bad the magic doesn't work here.

I know... but these digimon? That's a whole different type of thing to learn all about!

That's the spirit! And now that Rita is willing to play along I get to learn about them too.

I really wish there was a library on this stuff or something...

But at least I can keep training Guilmon at fighting. From what I heard just about everyone else digivolved to Champion earlier.

Eh...not everyone.

[Hushed voice, leaning in so no one else hears...except it's on the system]

Rita wasn't really that cool with the whole...fighting thing. She didn't want to at all.

That's not something to be ashamed of. Not wanting to fight is a great trait for people to have.

Heck, I never want to fight if I can avoid it.

Well yeah, it was just this whole thing. She didn't want to fight, I did. I got hurt, she felt bad.

I think we're ok now but, well ok I'm still healing but other then that I'm ok and she's coming around.

Ahh...

Yeah. If there's one time you should fight, it's to protect your friends and the people you care about. Though... we probably shouldn't be fighting digimon.
