[The feed opens up with Alex sitting on the floor surrounded by a pile of open, half-filled books.]

Okay, you lot, listen up. I've been compiling the information I gained from the attack on the castle. Any extra information is welcome and will be added to my notes, but for now, here's what I've got. Any of you assholes who are just here to dismiss what I say out of hand can kindly go sit on a rake and spin for a while, as this is actually concrete and important.

First of all, emotional idiots need to be kept off the battlefield. Something about negative emotions bloody idiots trying to force shit into too-small labels can fuck up your Digimon's evolutions, and it's twice now I've been at ground zero for a fucking pants-on-head retarded asshole turning their Digimon into a giant fucking monster that then proceeded to try to kill their own partner, and anyone around, i.e. me. Did anyone with a degree in psychology or some shit come through? Anyone with known emotional instability needs to be kept out from fighting until they've had some proper counseling.

Which brings me to my second point: We are not quite as helpless as we have been led to believe. I've personally confirmed the effectiveness of Molotov cocktails, along with just plain old dousing a monster in petrol and lighting it on fire. The flower whore ran away before I could test the bleach and ammonia, but she had some bullshit healing powers anyway. Fucking final stages. Regardless, the point is, a sharp stick might not be any good, but that just means you need to be creative. I'm going to start running chemistry lessons for those who care to learn, how to make basic medicines, poisons, and explosives with the materials we can acquire here. I'll be moving out to a new home with more space as soon as I can, so it'll be easier to contact me with interest on this thing.

Speaking of the floral twat, though, she needs mentioning. She was named Lotusmon, and she was at the castle, saying she was claiming it for her master. Like any stereotypically obviously evil servant from a children's story, she wouldn't say who this master was, of course. She was talking about a Scope Virus, as well- The implication was that this virus was sealed in the castle, and it was what drove the Digimon there insane. Also, our Digimon and possibly we humans as well are susceptible to it, from how she talked. And yes, she was talking, she was very clearly in her right mind while wanting to kill us.

Now, to talk about her for a moment, since she said she was going to have a rematch with us: She's obvious when you see her, she's a fucking purple woman with a sad excuse for a shirt throwing her tits everywhere, bellbottoms that went out of style decades ago, and a flower for a head. She's also carrying two staffs, one of which is the Caduceus, a symbol of commerce and negotiation and some idiots gave it medical connotations, essentially an advertisement for non-combat. Considering she then attacked us with that fucking symbol of peace, this goes back to what I said about trusting fucking nothing here. That's a fucking war crime at home. But, she is a flower, and my cocktails and fire tactics worked, even though she's an Ultimate, or a Mega- God, I fucking hate this dialectal nomenclature, who the hell designed this- The point is, we kicked her ass, though she killed one of ours in the process. Gazimon fought her, so she'll give the information about how she fights.

[Gazimon takes over talking at this point.]

I destroyed her staff and one of the sidekicks cut off her arms to make her helpless so she'd answer our questions. Turns out, even if you destroy her staff and cut off her arms, she can still use both of those without being attached. She healed herself entirely and left. Other than that, she has the power to cause decay, and to trap people in delusions of their desire. Serpent Cure is the technique that heals her, it takes the form of a white aura from the white snake on her staff that burns you if you touch it. The decay move is Serpent Ruin, a black aura from the black snake. The fantasy is from her other staff, called Seven's Fantasia, it's a rainbow aura. Ruin and Fantasia both have to touch you with the auras to hurt you, so if you're faster than them or can make sure they just don't touch, you'll be okay. She can also generate blinding light, but she used that to run away instead of fighting.

If she shows up, find me if you can, if you can't, use the information I've provided here to prepare and kill her. Don't give me any of that "value of life" shit, she'll not afford you the same courtesy- She tried to drop the fucking castle on our heads. We don't know shit about her oft-mentioned Master, except that she referred to it with masculine pronouns, and he knew we were coming and that we'd be powerful. I'd like to launch an investigation into this, but frankly, we have nowhere to even start besides 'doesn't leave tits hanging out like half the other Digimon I've seen'.

So, to recap: A crazy bitch with stupid amounts of power, working for someone else presumably even more powerful, used us to clear the castle so she could claim it for her unknown master. Whose idea was it exactly to clear the castle out, anyway? Because we sure as hell played into this asshole's plans. Lotusmon's goal was likely the Scope Virus that I mentioned before that drove Digimon mad. She called it "brutal". And the mindless, rampaging Digimon were infected. This begs the rather unfortunate question: Can the virus only be contracted from the source, or is it infectious from infected individuals? What methods does the virus use to propogate? Is there a way to cure it? If I were home, that would be easy, but here...

Everyone who did not go to the castle, keep a sharp eye out on everyone who did, myself included. If anyone starts losing their mind and looks like they were infected, we are going to need some sort of lockdown and quarantine procedure, though it may already be too late to do any good.

Now, everyone who was there can start contributing their own gathered information, and the rest of you lot can ask questions, this is now an open discussion on the recent events, please keep idiocy to a minimum.

Oh no. That's...

[ Chika can't even imagine what that's like. And she hopes she has to never find out. ]

I... guess it'd be stupid to ask if he's doing okay.

[ She pauses for a moment, before she starts to say something else... but just stops. And doesn't. God, she can't even think of what to say now. ]

Don't worry to much. Last I saw, it was an egg, so it'll come out again soon. Immortality really is convenient...

[ She's not that convinced. ]

But most of the time when a digimon is reborn they don't remember anything from their last life.

... Really? Bugger. Still, that could be worked around.

Yeah. Masaru-niichan, well, one of the hims here anyway, mentioned that there were exceptions sometimes, but I've never seen it happen personally.

... That Koushirou brat mentioned something about "Spirits", the knowledge and experience of Digimon who died for good remaining behind and allowing humans to transform into Digimon with them. If I could get a look at that system, I bet I could hijack it to make something similar, a crystalization of a Digimon's life to be consumed and recovered by their next incarnation...

... That's... wow. That'd be pretty useful if you could do it.

[ Though seeing humans turning into Digimon... that was... well, Masaru had told her about that. It was completely unforgivable. But who knew if these spirits were the same way or not. ]

It sounds simple enough. If someone's life and memory can be encoded to just information, and we're in a world where information has a physical form... I'd need a look at the creation of those "spirit" things and where Digimon originate from, but those two can probably be reapplied to this.

... Yeah. I guess that makes sense.

[ She's still not sure if it's something that should be really done, but well, it's not like saying that would stop Alexandria if she really wanted to do this. ]

The tricky part is going to be getting my hands on those... Where is that Takuya kid, anyway?

That's a good question. Didn't all of those guys go off somewhere?

All of those so-called experienced Chosen who were here when I got here fucked off to god-knows-where ages ago, yeah. Useless bastards.

I'm sure that whatever they're doing is important.

[ She pauses for a moment. ]

Though I'm pretty sure when we hear from them again they're going to need our help.

I still trust those brats about as far as they can throw me.

... I'm pretty sure their digimon could throw you pretty far though.

[ She's actually kidding, but well... ]

And well, I don't think they really mean any harm though. But not having them contact us a lot is kinda annoying.

[ At the very least the other Masaru should've checked in on her instead of going off and being a moron somewhere. ]

Like they'd ever get close enough.

Meaning any harm or not is meaningless. They could intend sunshine and puppies, but it doesn't mean a damn thing if the results of those intentions leave us stranded and fucked.

[ She sighs. ]

... I can't really argue with that last part.

Damn right.

They better come back with some good information or being able to tell us how everyone here is supposed to get their partners to Mega or something, leaving for this long we we could've used their help at the castle.

I wouldn't hold my breath, if I were you. If they had anything of use, they should have shared it by now.

... Yeah. I know.

Still, it's a nice thought.

I'd rather use my thoughts on something realistic.

Like how you're going to beat up all the experienced chosen when they come back without the keys to a ton of power?
