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.]

[ Damn it, she's going to have to explain this seriously to him. ]

It isn't as though they could have placed it on Earth. Do you know how many meddling magi would have poked their noses where it didn't belong?

But if that's the case, who put it on the moon in the first place?

No idea. [ She says that with an air of annoyance to it.

Rin doesn't like not knowing something. ] It was discovered by the Western European Conglomerate and as a result, they tried to restrict access to it. Seriously pisses me off.

Seriously, who does that? Just says "You can't go to the moon" and restricts humanity? A bunch of low-life stuck-up losers, that's who!

The Western...what?

Everything you say is more confusing than the last thing! Can't you just explain things a little more clearly?!

Oh, I forgot I was talking to a dumbass.

[ Worst Tutorial Guide Ever. ]

You're making your world sound needlessly complicated. I'm not the idiot here.

My world isn't very complicated at all.

[ Waving her free hand. ] There's no mana within the air because it has been depleted due to a natural incident. That means magi, as you know, can't create prana due to the lack of this magical force within the atmosphere.

So the world is just like your own minus that. There's a lot of military organizations fighting for power and generally it's a rough life. If you've ever seen a documentary on a third world country, just imagine that more widespread throughout the world. Children are given guns, I mean come on. I arrived here with a rifle on my own.

I suppose it isn't all that bad, but if you're not able to fire a weapon, you're in a real tough spot.

[ See, her world is just fine.
It's just the moon shit that's out of this world HA HA HA. ]

...Why couldn't you explain it like that from the start?!

Because you asked about the moon and not the world I'm from. What, do you think I'm some kind of alien or something? I know my looks are out of this world, but I assure you I didn't fall from the sky in a heavenly manner.

Still, you overcomplicated everything--did you do that just to confuse me or something?!

I don't complicate everything.

[ A beat. ] Just most things.

That's not any better!

You're the only person who's had any problem with it.

The only one that's said they have a problem with it. That doesn't mean no one else is confused.

No, people usually say what they mean. You're the one who's having trouble wrapping your pea-sized nougat of a brain around my words.

And you're the one making everything sound needlessly stupid!

Maybe your brain just absorbs my logical explanations as nonsense. Geez, you'd be the third person I've run into that's had problems with this world messing with their brain...

[ Not once does she consider herself the problem. ]

You have to be kidding me.

See, that's a good example. I say something concerning and your brain processes it as a joke.

You don't interpret sarcasm well, do you?

Huh, so I guess there is something wrong with my brain too. Quick, we need to find a surgeon who's studied this to help us solve this mystery!

Why don't you hack into that while you're at it?

Geez, it'd be a little messy but I think I saw an axe the other day... Um, but do you think it'd be enough? Normally I'd be concerned about hitting your brain, but I think your own is tiny enough that it won't be a problem?

Wha--hack your own stupid brain, there's nothing wrong with mine!

Tch--there's nothing wrong with my brain either!

[ Looks like he actually hit a nerve with that one though. ]
