themainframe | [001 -- Video]

[For most, the face on the video feed today is probably an unfamiliar one, as it belongs to someone who arrived with the recent crowd of new Chosen. He addresses the camera casually, one hand resting in his pockets, shoulders slumped as he leans against the wall of a bricked building.]

All right, Digital World, as far as welcomes go, mine could have been worse. I'll rate it a good six out of ten, though this-- er, world-- has a long ways to go before it can improve that score. And whoever the heck brought us here needs to give us anti-theft devices for these communicators. Geez. . .

[He lets out a wry snort]

I deducted points for the bunny--

Elecmon!

-- I'm supposedly partnered with because he's kind of obnoxious.

Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.

And he isn't nearly as clever as he thinks it is. [After that, Kaito shoots Elecmon a pointed glance] Anyway, I doubt any of you guys care about my scoring criteria much. And the real reason I'm even using this thing is because I wanna know what progress you've made in finding an exit. I mean, some of you have been here a lot longer than I have, right? You've gotta have something by now.

[A beat]

Right?

Such stubborn denial is almost painful to watch. . .

Oh.

...Then what did you mean, geko?

Y'know, an exit to this place entirely? A way out of the Digital World and back to the place I came from?

Edited 2013-08-09 07:08 (UTC)

Oh.

No, I dunno about that. You don't wanna leave right now though anyways. Something about the worlds imploding. I dunno what that means but it sounds really bad, geko.

[I-imploding]

Uh.

I know the part about the worlds merging, but them imploding is new information.

Ed said something about it, I dunno how it all works either but apparently it's bad, geko.

But it's okay because you get to stop it!

[ssssso dry]

Yippee. I don't remember signing up for this.

You didn't have to, geko. You were chosen because you were worthy of it.

Probably.

[Definitely a Saturday morning cartoon]

Why 'probably?' If I'm here, I might as well take credit for the reasons why I'm here.

...I dunno why anyone showed up here. I mean everyone's supposed to be chosen but we all just go go-karting and hang out and sometimes there's fighting. It's really fun, geko!

Oh and this one time I suplexed a hawkmon!

[This would be funnier if he knew what a Hawkmon was!1]

Er. Congratulations?

Yeah! I'm really strong! And then I digivolve and get even stronger and smarter!

[Uh huuuuuh. . .]

Ha ha. . . so what's this "digivolving" thing like, anyway?

I get bigger and stronger and smarter and a bunch of tails and really pretty fur and I go all GUILMON DIGIVOLVE GEKO...

[She makes a dramatic pose that is supposed to be foxlike. Somehow.] Kyubimon! The flame of balance, geko!

[. . . nts: never ask this Digimon for information ever again]

How descriptive.

[Guilmon smiles widely, as you have Made Her Day.]

Thanks, geko!

[SIGH. Digimon]

You're welcome.

Scrappy, I don't think you're going to get much out of her.

Kaito, not Scrappy.

...you're trying to get something out of me?

What are you trying to get, geko?

[Kaito waves a hand at the camera]

Information, that's all. That Izumi guy's message only told me so much.

Oh.

...Izumi's really smart, huh. I couldn't follow a lot of it.

I guess he is? I've never met the guy, so I can't say.

[He's just a faceless info-dumper to Kaito]

He messaged us once! Uh... he said... that there were bees and someone needed to go help someone else who fell into one of those dark thingies.

[Dark. . . things. . .]

The Dark Areas?

Who fell into one of those?

Edited 2013-08-10 05:19 (UTC)

A guy named Taichi the first time! Then a guy named Masaru.

All right, names are a good start, but who're Taichi and Masaru?

These two guys who wear goggles who the smart guy knows.

Masaru punched out of a dark field once!
