There's something I'm trying to figure out.

[A slightly bruised but quickly recovering Waver could be found on the network today. His right hand was raised to his head thoughtfully, displaying the mostly faded remnants of red markings that were once burned into the back of it.]

Could there really be something that passes for magecraft in this world? Not that I'm complaining, considering Palmon's second form is perfect for me, but I'm just wondering about the implications.

If there's a species of Digimon clearly classified as some sort of magus, just what qualifies as the 'magic' they're using? Some lines of code or circuitry? And if that's the case, could it be something people like us could work on utilizing?

...then again, maybe there's not much point in me considering this. [Waver sighed, shaking his head.] I don't know much about computers or programming, so I guess even if it was possible, I wouldn't be the one to figure it out.

[Someone really misses his magecraft, apparently.]

I can't deny there's some similarities in concept, but comparing alchemy and computer code is like apples and oranges. It's similar, definitely, but it's not the same thing at all.

[Beat. He's getting used to these multiverse hijinks.]

Unless alchemy works differently where you're from.

[His scowl is practically audible.] I said code. You know, as in research papers. You said you didn't know where to start, right? Well, I would've thought every type of code is trying to do the same thing when you get down to it.
