[The feed clicks on, showing the girl holding the D-Terminal focused very intently on it. So intently, in fact, she is completely failing to notice the Ryudamon behind her, though still plainly visible, playing with a long spear.]

Hello... I am honored to have been chosen for such an important duty, but I am still rather confused about all of this. We have been called to protect this world from some sort of threat, I understand, but none have been able to tell me just what that threat is... I apologize for the trouble, but are there any who may clarify?

Also, though I do not intend to question the wisdom of those who have chosen me, I must point out that I do not have a driver's license yet. Is that not going to be a problem for this?

Thank you for your assis-

[It is at that point the spear the Ryudamon is waving around slips out of its claws and goes flying into the distance with a loud crash, the feed cutting off at about the same time.]

... Why would I throw boxes?

[fuhrinkaed]

Items come out of them. The blue shells are some kind of seeker missile and they hurt when you get hit by them.

[dragonpunch]

I have no intention of throwing any such things!

[fuhrinkaed]

Oh.

Well okay then! Uh... did you have any other questions?

[dragonpunch]

Ah... None that may be answered yet, it seems...

[fuhrinkaed]

Fair enough...

I'm Ed. It's great to meet you.

[dragonpunch]

I am Li. It is a pleasure to meet you, as well.

[fuhrinkaed]

Well... if you end up needing anything around here, you can always call.

I think you have my number or something... actually, come to think of it how come we're all able to call each other so easily?

[dragonpunch]

... So that we may coordinate what tasks we must perform to protect this world more easily?

[fuhrinkaed]

Still, it's weird how the contacts all auto-update with new people as they come in.

It's really useful, but... it's also a little weird, right?

[dragonpunch]

... I suppose so... I am sorry, I do not know much of phones.

[fuhrinkaed]

Don't worry about it--I don't get this stuff either.

[dragonpunch]

[Nods, then:]

Um, might I ask a question, if it would not be a bother?

[fuhrinkaed]

You can ask me as many questions as you need to, if it'll help.

[dragonpunch]

Is there truly no known way home?

[fuhrinkaed]

There isn't. [Nodnod.]

But... what we're doing here is important. If we don't fix things first, none of us will have homes to go back to.

[dragonpunch]

I see....
