Okay, okay I know some people might not care for this kind of stuff, I'm sorry, but please bear with me. I'm still trying to work with that gadget we have for this network, like if it has video recording without having to make it public.

Light, can you hold this for me?

[As the camera shifts perspective, we can see that Hope is standing beside a jeep. With a confused look on his face.]

This is not a car. Is this supposed to be a car?

How should I know? You're the human.

But cars in Cocoon aren't like this. Or even in Gran Pulse. It's big and bulky-- is it even efficient? This is just... it really looks like old technology. [No Hope, it's a modern jeep. You're just from futureland.

With a bit of grunting he pops the hood and peers into the engine. ... And makes a huge face because how the heck can this thing even run when all these components. Well, only one way to find out. He takes off his gloves (but not his wrist bandanna, oh no) and starts getting his hands dirty with the engine. His Renamon makes an affronted noise because what the hell.]

When I manage to understand how exactly this car's like. [Not an 'if', nope.]

That's great! I'll look forward to seeing it when you finish.

[ She's not doubting it. Though... ]

Is it okay to work on it alone, though...? [ It can be dangerous working on these sort of things-- No wait, she heard another voice in his initial video feed. ] Oh, but your partner is with you.

[ Unless that's just her assuming. ]

Light's going to be helping me anyway. She's giving me this look like she's not going to let me do this on my own in case something happens.

You never know what might happen when working with things like this... Oh, but would they have the parts necessary to fix it around here?

Well, if they don't I can make do with what they have. But first I need to get to know this car because... it's weird.

[ Good point. She takes a moment to think before answering. ]

Maybe... If there's a library around here, then maybe one of the books would have some information on it.

[Why did he not think of that before.]

Good point. I probably should have tried that first.

Mm. One of the Damemon might know where you can find a library too.

I think I saw one when I was exploring a few days ago. Though I'm not so sure-- everything here isn't like my world.

I know what you mean... Ah, but where I'm from there was an old city called Tokyo, though. But I've only seen it in pictures.
