006- Accidental Broadcast [video]

[Today's broadcast is brought to you by Shepard's D-Terminal... But she's not on the screen. Nor is Monodramon. Instead, it's shaky footage taken from eye level, and it very rapidly becomes apparent that it's battle footage. From Shepard's helmet.]

[Of the first 7 and a half minutes of this. (Spoilers for the end of Mass Effect 2! Those who don't want to watch all 7 minutes can get the gist from the first thirty seconds and a quick glance at 6:10.)]

[Why? Well. Shepard figured out how to transfer files from her helmet's eyepiece to her D-Terminal, and determined that clip dangerously classified and disturbing enough to flat up delete, rather than risk anyone stumbling upon it.]

[And Monodramon has just broadcast it to the entire network by mistake.]

What's a katamari?

Edited 2013-05-23 01:48 (UTC)

Hmmm. It is very strange that none of you humans know what it is. The katamari was rolled all over the world...

[ahem] A katamari is a ball to which anything smaller than it sticks. The bigger the katamari, the bigger things it can pick up. [sage nodding]

[She tilts her head slightly.]

Oh. Like a game?

Yes! My father created it with the intention of it being a game.

However, it can also be a useful tool! Prior to being brought here to the Digital World, I rolled the katamari so that my father might turn them into stars to replace the ones that he broke.

You were making stars with a ball game?

[She looks incredulous for a moment.]

Like, flaming balls of light and energy, those stars?

Yes, those stars! As the King of All Cosmos, my father has the capability to compress the katamari until it becomes a star.

[:'D]

Compress-- how big are these things?

Oh, sometimes they are not very big at all. My first katamari was not much more than 10cm! But I have rolled a katamari so big that I could roll up that Reaper. The biggest katamari I have rolled was ten times that!

[And here's the second question.]

How big are you at home?

Five centimeters tall! [:Db]

[. . . . . . . . . .]

Impressive growth spurt.

Is it not? And it is all thanks to this "Digital World"!

[look at how happy he is about all of this]
