Ninth Verse: Accidental Video/Memory Leak

[wall_flower]

[When the video starts, all that can be seen is the face of a sleeping Marley clutching a stuffed Leomon doll close. Looks like someone had dozed off while scrolling through things on her D-Terminal and her hand had accidentally hit the recording button. After a moment, though, her brows furrow and she rolls over, sending her D-Terminal crashing to the floor.

There's static a moment before the scene switches to sudden darkness, almost as if the device has turned off. However, it doesn't take long for a bright light to appear. It takes on the shape of a rather large, yet nondescript Digimon. Its eyes are a burning red, and as it focuses on the screen, many bodies can be seen lying around it in a pool of blood. There's a sense of foreboding as the red eyes bore into those who continue to stare at the screen.

Static takes to the screen once more, and then completely goes black.]

...Wh-what the heck w-was that?!

Kamemon, shush. [Oh look, it's Donnie being an overly-worried boyfriend] Marley, are you awake?! Are you okay?! Oh come on, say something please?!

[wall_flower]

[It's not Marley who answers, but Hawkmon. If Donnie is worried, so is the bird Digi.]

Donnie! Hi, sorry, I think Marley was having a bad dream. What's going on?

[brain_behind_purple]

Hawkmon, Marley's dream... It's not just that. She had a memory leak... from the Dark Zone.

[He had recognized the leak the second that he saw it. That... thing had been terrifying. The vision of his rothers had been more terrifying at that current time, but now that that was over, he could focus on that.

It was as bad as before]

[wall_flower]

...What? Uh, hold on...

[Well, that's not expected. He's just gonna--]

Marley? Here.

[The D-Terminal is passed to Marley, who yawns and rubs her eyes.]

Hello, um--Oh, Donnie, hi. Are you okay?

[brain_behind_purple]

[Donnie let out a sigh of relief. Marley looked okay, but should he...]

What the heck was that freaky thing that we just saw now?

[And Donnie facepalms]

[wall_flower]

[Hawkmon can be hear whispering in the background and Marley's eyes go wide. She looks off screen, almost horrified.]

Th-They saw that? I was just...I thought I was just dreaming!

[revvinguptheharley]

Yeesh, wouldn't wanna meet him in a dark Alleyway.

[wall_flower]

What? Meet who?

[Obviously someone didn't realize that the D-Terminal was on.]

[revvinguptheharley]

Tall dark and scary! That last memory leak was spooky good!

[wall_flower]

[...Give him a second to figure out what the heck you're talking--Oh...that's from...]

I think...that's from the Dark Field. When Marley and Donnie and Ed went.

[revvinguptheharley]

Oh yeeeeah. She mentioned that before.

How's she doin'?

[wall_flower]

She just thought she was having a nightmare. It happens every so often, but she...I think she's more upset because the memory leaked onto the network.

[Um. That's... Cam watches, watches...and then starts speaking up.] M-Marley... Marley. Marley, are you there?

[Video]

[wall_flower]

Cam?

[Have a Hawkmon, Cam.]

Hey, uh...you want Marley? I had to wake her up from a nightmare, so you can if you need to.

[Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

[A nightmare? Oh there's a lot of concern here.]

If she's okay to. Uh, speak.

[Video]

[wall_flower]

[Hawkmon nods before passing the D-Terminal to Marley. She looks tired, but otherwise fine.]

Hey Cam.

[Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

Marley. [He sounds worried.] What was that? Was... that a memory?

[video]

[pitchick]

[What the hell is that?]

What the hell is that? Hey-hey! You okay there or what? [She has the big ass gun that can do piss all, but she can hit things with it okay!]

[video]

[wall_flower]

[Now that it's actually been explained to her what exactly has happened, Marley's...a little more hesitant to talk to people. But she should, she knows she should. Ed mentioned this before, but no one else had really seen it.

When she answers the call, Marley's perhaps a bit paler than usual.]

It--We saw it. In the Dark Field. I-I was having a nightmare about it, and...I guess the memory leaked onto the network.

[video]

[pitchick]

This stupid place, it won't let up. I really thought you were in trouble just now. [She's not frustrated at you Marley, she's more pissed off at the glitching.]

[Breathe Yoko. Calm down.]

[video]

[wall_flower]

I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to happen...

[Welcome to the Digital World, where glitches are a regular thing and anything can happen.]

[Bonsai is completely composed on screen, although Wormmon can be seen worrying his front legs together just behind her.]

Requesting information: nature of threat and prevention methodology.

[wall_flower]

[...Sorry, she's just going to blink at the screen.]

I...I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Unless you're talking about the thing on the screen. That was...it was a memory leak, I think...something I had seen before. It's not here now, so--It's fine, really.

[video]

[trimmedback]

Regardless of current threat, evaluating it to prevent further loss of life is vital.

I-I don’t know. I don’t know what it is, exactly. Just something...something three of us saw when we went into the Dark Field…
