[The feed turns on, showing Alexandria slumped over in bed with her arm still heavily bandaged, fussing with her D-Terminal.]
No, god damn it, I wanted audio, not video.
Come on, it's not that hard.
If you haven't noticed, I'm down one arm and you don't have hands. Fuck it, this will work.
[She sighs and leans back, and actually starts addressing the terminal.]
So, my partner here and I have been talking. It turns out when she's not busy throwing a tantrum, she's actually pretty smart herself, and I've been getting information about how Digimon work from her. Their life cycle is actually pretty fascinating.
According to her, there are seven main stages of their life. Egg, Baby, Baby II, Child, Adult, Perfect, Ultimate. She also mentioned some sort of "legendary Super-Ultimate" that she'll turn into one day. I'm pretty sure this is about as valid as the little boys on the playground who say they know kung-fu-
Shut the hell up, I'll definitely make it!
-But I thought it was worth mentioning, just in case. The process that makes them advance a stage is called "evolution" (even though it's just a fucking metamorphosis, I'd like to get my hands on whoever fucking named this shit) and seems to require vast amounts of energy. As far as I can tell, these Digimon naturally store the energy as they live, and reach the next stage after having lived and battled. After reaching a stage, they stay there without regressing; We've got, for example, that Lilymon lady, who's supposed to be a Perfect level.
Which brings me to the important point: It looks like, so far, all of these so-called "chosen" Digimon are of the Child level, spontaneous pointless changes aside-
I told you that wasn't my fault!You humans are the ones responsible for our evolution, you must have screwed up!
-Ahem. My partner pointed out that it seems no "chosen" Digimon is of a higher level than the Child level, causing me to think that the temporary evolutions we allow them drain them of the energy they store to progress naturally. In other words, our "help" is actually hindering and actively stunting the growth and maturity of our Digimon. Temporary strength in exchange for prolonged weakness. It's possible our presence is actually harmful to our partners.
Or, that's just the current theory, I don't have enough information to confirm one way or the other. But I think it's something worth considering and investigating. If anyone else has anything relevant to add, I'd like to hear it.

[... let's be real, she'd get fired from a maid cafe within an hour.]

Don't worry. I won't. I have seen weirder things. [ And met people from weirder places. ]
video;
Thank you. I don't know why the fuck that is the fucking breaking point for all the idiots and cockmunchers around this fucking place. We've been fucking brought to a new world that by all rights cannot exist, told we've got some great destiny, oh here's a fucking monster contracted to your soul, now go save the fucking world, and that is where they draw the bloody line? No matter the world, I am surrounded by morons.

Japan is a socially 'concervative' country, so language like this is very uncommon and in some cases looked down upon. For Rise, she is just stunned ...
... mostly because some of the things she said had no Japanese translation, so she can't really understand. ]

What?
video;
Translating --- no translation found.]Err --- Nothing really.
Why do you think this place is stupid? So far, everyone's been very nice.
video;
Nice, sure, but with a room-temperature IQ. As for this place, it is a physical impossibility. Every time I try to figure out how this place can exist without simply coming apart, I get a headache.

[ She was worried about her. If she was here, who was helping her now? She must be worried sick too. ]
But I don't really think this place is that bad. It could be a lot worse.

Could be a lot worse? Sure, like "it's not so bad I got shot in the lung, at least it wasn't in the head"?

[ Looks like she said something wrong. ]
video;
As far as I know, at least.
