 [Terriermon can be seen handling the D-T, setting it up before speaking. It seems today she is wearing a collar/choker with small rhinestones set into it. Neku can be seen in the background, playing a game on a handheld system of some sort]

Sooo, Neku was telling me not to mention his birthday today. BUT I was thinking-

[Neku curses at the game, something about 'I thought you LIKED cake Hanako!?'. Terriermon's ears perk, and she waits for him to get focused on his game again before continuing]

-since I WAS born for him, anything you all wanted to do for his hatching can come to ME instead! See, then everyone is happy! Neku can sulk and not do anything fun, and you guys' efforts won't be wasted!

[In the back: 'Wait... touch the screen... okay... this seems dirty, what kinda game IS this?!']

Hehe, he's so busy with his new game he probably totally forgot that he even told me.

[There's some rather happy female sounds in the background, and Neku is beet red]

...I think I won.

Don't worry about it. With us being here who knows if time even works the same way. I might be 50 and not know it.

I had a birthday coming five days before I got warped over here, come to think of it...

I really need to get back soon. I hope nothing bad's happened.

[video]

[scratchitti]

...yeah. Ditto. I mean I THINK all the bad stuff is done but...

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

It's definitely not back home... unless they all went without me.

I really hope that didn't happen, I'm pretty sure it would be really bad. [Nodnod.]

[video]

[scratchitti]

For you or for them?

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

'The universe might blow up,' whichever that one is.

[video]

[scratchitti]

Ah, general 'bad'. Got ya.

...can the universe really blow 'up' if there's nothing outside the universe for it to blow out into though?

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

True... it's more that a broken and incomplete magical force might unmake the entire thing--

W-well, regardless of the mechanics it's bad.

[video]

[scratchitti]

Fair enough.

..you noticed how a lot of people here are getting pulled from some big world ending thing?

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

...no?

I mean, maybe I should have but I try not to pry into other people's lives before they came here.

[video]

[scratchitti]

Seriously? A lot of people I've talked to can't shut up about how their super heroes or dinosaurs or aliens, or crime fighting alien dinosaurs before coming here. It's like the digital world only grabs the main characters of awful tv shows.

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

Really? Huh.

...So what's your awful tv show about, then?

[video]

[scratchitti]

The trajectory of horrible gunshot wounds.

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

You were shot?!

[video]

[scratchitti]

Twice. It sucked.

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

Are you okay?! I mean... you're not dead now but... did you catch them and take them to jail or something?

[He barks in laughter. Hell, it's not even really a laugh: more a pure sound of bitterness. But after the sound fade he sighs, smiling and resting his chin in one hand, looking less bitter and more resigned]

No, but I guess it worked out... if what I've been told is true. Don't worry about it Ed, it's complicated.

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

...a lot of things are complicated, and if I backed away just because they were then I wouldn't be me.

But, if you say it's okay then it's okay. I trust you. [Nodnod.]

[video]

[scratchitti]

[He looks surprised, then smiles softly]

If it helps any it's more to not make things hard for... other people here then because I'm trying to hide anything from you.

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

I figured as much, yeah... but thanks. I'm trying to not worry about home for the same reason.

[video]

[scratchitti]

Probably for the best. Worrying about it will just stress you out and not help anyone.

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

One problem at a time, right?

[video]

[scratchitti]

Pretty much. Just stay focused and the rest will sort itself out however it will.

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

Right. In the end, everything's going to be just fine.

Re: [video]

[scratchitti]

Wish I could be that chipper.
