How's everyone holding up? This time was way worse then the last couple attacks, that's for sure.

Did anyone else get one of these?

[He holds up a charm with a blue symbol in the middle]

Cam got one and said it help evolve our partners to the next level.

[Terriermon pops up, grinning at the camera]

Neku's is the Crest of Friendsh-

[Neku pushes her off camera with an annoyed expression]

AS I WAS SAYING- does anyone know how they work or where they came from? Mine just poofed into existence. Let's compare notes.

[he looks over, amused at the bat-on-bat violence]

Lucette evolved again.

[acceptedburden]

[Kaldur blinks at that. Well, good for Cam and Lucette.]

Oh man! No fair.

[Gizamon pouts, apparently she wants to evolve again too, but she and Kaldur both knew it didn't work that way. Kaldur takes the crest out of a pocket and held it up, studying the design.]

This is the one I received.

[Neku leans over to get a better look]

That's... 4 or 5 different ones I've seen now then. I wonder how many there are...

[acceptedburden]

Fourteen.

[scratchitti]

[Neku blinks at his roommate]

Well... that was quick and precise.

[acceptedburden]

When I started hearing some of the crest names I realized they were familiar sounding.

[Kaldur rose and went to a desk. He pulled open a drawer and produced a map of Terminal Tokyo he had picked up while doing some work around town. He spread it out for Neku to see and pointed to some of the districts.]

Here is Tenacity. Here is Friendship. Here is Courage. I imagine that the rest of the districts also match up with a crest if we asked around some more. There are fourteen districts with names like that which would lead to there being fourteen crests to match.

[Batman would be so proud of your detective skills there Kaldur]

[scratchitti]

Huh... makes sense. But why name areas of town after the crests? Something thematic, like naming streets after flowers or dead prime ministers?

[acceptedburden]

That would make sense, especially if they are a major part of the lore or mythology of the digital world.

Or, perhaps these areas are special to those crest holders.

[scratchitti]

Maybe. I might go snoop around, see if it lights up or something. So far it's hasn't done much beyond be slightly tacky jewelry.

[acceptedburden]

Yes I suppose like everything else we are going to have to learn about it ourselves and not rely on an instruction manual popping up somewhere mysteriously.

[Life is never that easy. There is no Guide Book to these things as much as Kaldur wishes there was.]

[scratchitti]

It'd be nice if the oldbies offered a clue, but yeah, you're right. Just gotta try and see what works.
