[The sound of waves. It's like, Cam turns on the feed, but he can't bring himself to talk first--]
Neku's gone. His partners, they're...staying there. In the Forest of the Gods. Uhm, me, and Maya, and Shiki. We're all headed back to HospiTown. It just didn't feel, uh...
Yeah. The place is nice, though. If any of you can get there, it's...relaxing. [He breathes out.] We've been on the boat for a few days. Be back in a bit, if I don't. Go stir-crazy here.
...Who all's still here? [So he says, tentative and nervous.] Just, so... This all sounds stupid. Never mind. Jinx, you should stay in HospiTown. No one's gonna be at the Forest if you head back.

[Hazel swears that the gods have a sick sense of humor, if this is even their doing. Her head is practically spinning with all this new stuff, and it's taken her a moment to let it all sink in. She sighs, and with some coaching from her Digimon, figures out how to use the device's video function.]
So...everything here is digital?
[She frowns. She's not so sure about how possible that is, but it's better than thinking she's finally gone insane.]
What's happening in our worlds while we're here? I mean, I'd kinda like to know if I help here and get home, I haven't missed out on 20 years.
[Or another century for that matter. It's one thing to go from 1940 to 20-something, and quite another to go from then to like 2573.
Hazel glances at her partner off-screen.]
Also...no offense meant to my, uh, partner, but...I don't know how comfortable I am with having a human child-looking Digimon. With. Angel wings.
None taken.
[She looks mildly exasperated at the breezy tone of Lucemon's voice. Hazel still hasn't decided on a name for him, but she's definitely choosing something that doesn't remind her of Lucifer.]

[the camera shows -- the road. a lazy voice pipes] No... Roxas, that's the wrong way.
I don't need your help. [somewhat sullenly. Roxas turns the D-terminal around so that it focuses on his face, but he's not looking at it, now focused on the Digimon offscreen] You won't go away?
Of course not. I'm your partner.
Fine. Then... you may as well remember something for me. A name. It's-- [Roxas pauses. it's a long pause, and then his eyes widen] What was it?
Well... what did it start with?
Give me a minute, I'm trying to think-- Sh... Something with... [blankly, and increasingly frustrated] I can't believe I forgot again. Sh... She...
[you should probably interrupt him because he is really distracted and has forgotten what he was doing and that this thing is still on. feel free to stumble across him in person, too; he's just hanging out, sleepy evil koala on a low wall next to him]

[Text! And completely anonymous; although Dorumon is doing the writing, he really doesn't want to be easily identified. Other people used anonymous posting, so he can too!]
Is the future for other worlds predetermined? Is it for the Digital World or the Real?
Does knowing what happens, mean it will now always happen?
If you meet someone from your future, does that mean you can't change it any more, since it's their past, and the past can't be changed? If changing your future to help you, might hurt other people and their past, or maybe even remove entire people from existing, do you have the right to try to change anything at all?

[This distressing scene opens up on Roadbuster who's holding the communicator shakily and trying to keep calm...pretty hard with everything that's happening right now.
He looks extremely distressed. In the background there's the sound of smashing objects, the room being horribly trashed. Thank god there was no one else living there.]
Aaaah guys help! Duke and Leatherhead talked and then he saw something and then he sorta laid down for awhile and then his eyes went funky and now...now he's tearing the room apart!!!
[Ok Roadbuster, keep it together, Leatherhead can't be that angry--oh no wait that roar definitely meant something was up. Ok he's back to shaky mode.]
I dunno what to do, guys! Duke's not here and--
[He gives his own panicked yell just because of the sheer amounts of overwhelming he's feeling.]
[Yeah, so. Still no Bruce on this D-Terminal, sorry. It's Floramon, once again, and this time he just looks even more worried than ever, if that was even possible.]
So... uh. [He shifts uneasily for a moment, looking pretty much like the world's most uncertain Digimon right now--which probably isn't that all far from the truth.] Bruce hasn't talked to me at all since we got to Hospitown.
[Pause.]
I'm not even sure what the problem is, this time. He just... doesn't talk. I tried to talk to him a couple of times already, but he just either doesn't respond or just says something like 'Later' and then stays in his room and doesn't come out. I asked him once if it was something I did and he said he wasn't but he still isn't talking to me at all and I...
[He just wilts here, this time. Almost literally wilts because with all of this happening, Floramon is becoming sure of one thing:]
I'm useless, aren't I? Maybe that's why he doesn't want me anymore.

[There's a view of Terri, still on the ship. She looks especially worried, her ears esp. droopy]
Uhm... I saw a lot of people turned into other things back in HospiTown, right? Well... I can't find Neku.
He didn't go home! His D-T account is still fine! And.... I just know, damn it!
HE DIDN'T FALL OVERBOARD, I WOULDA SEEN HIM!
[A voice over the edge of the ship. Psycho is still grounded from the boat]
So uh... I was wondering if maybe he poofed back over the- woah!
[The D-T flips out of her paws, sending the view flying]
What the-?!

[Cam's got his backpack on. He's carrying something, under his arm, a pack of some kind. The implications are clear -- he's going somewhere. Lucette carries Salamon behind him, along with a tiny bag of her own.]
There's no easy way to say this... Me and Maya, and Neku and Shiki, we're going with Sakuyamon. We just... It's the right thing to do right now. Harley, if we could uh...still talk through video...? I can get, stuff, sent, through...shipping, they've got this pirate system. LH, man, I'm sorry, uh... Keep up your workouts, okay? It's...uhm. [He looks like this is not exactly how he planned on saying this.]
...Sometimes you need a change of view, you know?
[He bites his lip and then smiles.] So...yeah. See you guys around, I guess.

[Early in the afternoon on the 23rd, a short and simple text message came from what might have been a familiar D-Terminal.]
I have, at present, two questions.
1) What's the date, exactly?
2) Rider. Are you still here?
[Not very long after that message was sent out, one could find an unfamiliar figure wandering the hospital in long strides as though acquainting himself with the layout. Though he had the decency not to start smoking inside, the oddly tall individual seemed to be mildly annoyed about something or other as he went about his path through the building.]

[when the screen turns on it shakes a little, like the D-Terminal was jostled. The video shows Jinora walking over to and sitting on the edge of her bed, a pad of paper and a pencil in hand. Her partner sits on the floor next to her. Neither appears to realize that the video feed is on.]
-about "Gawa"? She was on the council at the Western Air Temple; Dad says she was noted for always being able to find joy in things.
Sounds like a possibility.
Okay, we'll keep that one on the list. [she circles the name] Hariti? She was very devoted to caring for Air Nomad children.
[Leormon shakes her head vigorously]
[giggling] Strike that one, then. [she strikes a line through the name]
