[Video/Action] 01 Platinum

[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.]

[Video] Something whispered in an alleyway Or through a crack!

[The video opens with Jinx in her new apartment in the Holy Forest. She shares it with Maya and it looks like she's settled in nicely. There are some drawings on the wall of various mythical creatures and Digimon, she's painted her bed black and replaced the sheets with something silky looking as well as thick blankets. Aside from what's over her shoulder Jinx is looking curious and a little suspicious into the camera]

Hey, color me curious.

Have any of you kids out there gotten any anonymous messages begging for help?

If this were E-mail I might think it was a virus or something. Now I'm just wondering if it's a scam or a trap.

It mentioned someone named Myotismon.

MARK II ⊚ [Video]

[The screen comes on to show Salamon, it's kind of dark like she's hiding in something. She looks both sad and worried.]

Does... Does anyone out there know how to get their Chosen to stop hating them?

[She glances to the side, as if looking in the direction that Tony should be in.]

Mission 12: Destinations and Missing Dreams

*Dante is greeting the network today from the edge of town...with a Salamon on his head. Yep.*

Welp, took me long enough, but I'm finally in Hospitown.

It only took you so long because you spent time goofing off instead of travelling, you lazy idiot.

Lighten up, little lady. It was the beach!

*Salamon rolls her eyes but doesn't reply.*

Anyway, anyone wanna point me to the nearest place to buy booze in this dump?

Oh, and Nero, we oughta meet up in person sometime soon. Maybe Kid and the little lady can help find out what your squidbug's made of.

concerto 006

[A Strabimon comes into focus on the screen. He looks vaguely concerned, and a Hyokomon can be seen yelling MAYA over and over again in the background.]

Are there any Chosen on the island of San Francisco that would be willing to help Hyokomon and I locate our partner, Maya? She was supposed to be back by now, but it's probable that she got distracted by something.

[Hyokomon has switched from just yelling Maya's name to yelling various threats of never-ending house arrest. Strabimon glances over his shoulder and sighs.]

Maya is a little over five feet tall, has blond hair, and was last seen wearing an owl hat and a sweater with an owl on it. She also had a cello strapped to her back, and we would be very grateful if you had any information about her whereabouts.

10 ✨ TEXT

Hey Digilosers, a lot of you have a number of questions about this world as well as the events that brought us here that haven't been answered before, right?
I'll help you get those answers if you give me your word you'll remember how I helped you out in the rare situation that I'll ever need help with something.
It's important to understand the value of equivalent exchange and in a world where the skilled are highly valued, I suggest you also learn how to market your abilities in this way.

TLDR: If you could have any question answered, what would the question be?

PS: Don't give me any of that philosophical bullshit like 'what is our purpose for living' or 'the meaning of the number forty-one' ok?

( Disclaimer )

[ LOCKED: interspace ] Special message for you.
I'm back and we can start work whenever.
Let me know, ok?

[Video]

S~o I'm writing up the last details on the festival. I've got a few things here and there, but I want more advice.

[ Roze is sitting on her bed, hair pulled up loose and pinned with chopsticks in a "librarian" style, papers surrounding her, a pencil tapping against her lips. ]

I want to include things from other people's world's and cultures. So what do you people do for your end of year or "end of cycle" celebrations, huh?

Hardly anyone responded to their invitations, but I'll assume a lot of you don't know what RSVP means. Despite that, if there's anyone out there willing to add to the festivities, I'd love to hear your ideas.

Anyways, lemme know.

Oh yeah and uh...

We need more help with the music, if anyone is interested. Neku's got the tracks taken care of, but if there's anyone out there that knows how to actually play stuff, I'd like to talk to you. --Don't worry, Wily-Kit, I've already got you down.

Fifteenth Goal: My Sweetheart. [Video -> Action, to Maya Matlin, December 15th]

[A video will pop up on Maya's D-Terminal, early in the morning. It's Cam, with his Aurumon stuffed animal, and-- is he standing outside the door to her apartment? Yes. He is. He's got the owl Digimon in hand and a grin on his face.]

Gooooood morning, Maya Matlin! And Happy Birthday.

Two Diamonds [Audio]

[Drawled-yet-quick and flat.]

Good afternoon; Rarity, here! Begging your pardon but I have one very important question - how might one be able to tell if. Somepony's about to leave?

By leave I mean involuntarily leave the Digital World, that is.

Thank-you!

01 - video;

[This video broadcast is brought to you by Shaky Cam™ because, really, whoever's handling the D-Terminal could really stand to buy a tripod. The image starts off with a lopsided view of the floor, then some sheets dangling over the edge of a bed before finally showing a teenage boy from behind, back bent and arms crossed. You'd swear he's prematurely grey with his silver hair.

The camera lingers on him for a few seconds, with some quiet mumbles from the camera 'mon in question before the boy looks over his shoulder and rolls his eyes.]

Man, why do I even need to use this thing? Not like I've got anyone to talk to.

But you could! Um... if you want to, anyway. Wouldn't it be nice to make more friends?

[He shrugs, shifting to face the screen.]

But over some silly computer? If I really wanted to go out and meet people, I'd do it myself.

But what about all those questions you had, Rik--

[The Replica grimaces, pulling his eyes away from the Digimon. For a brief moment, the camera turns to reveal the face of a Kotemon and, while her mask hides her face in shadow, there's a sorry look in her eyes. When she speaks again, it's at a low whisper.]

Pst. I think there's something wrong with my partner because he's really grumpy and he's been saying all kinds of stuff about being fake and his name not really being his name. What's up with that? I know there's bunches of other Kotemon, and we all have the same name and face. Are people not supposed to be like that? I guess that makes sense, since most humans aren't Rikus. That'd be really strange!

[The Replica groans.] Okay, fine, you win. No need to start gossiping about me; I'll talk.

Wow! I didn't think that'd work! [But soon the D-Terminal's passed to its rightful owner, and the image finally stabilizes. Cue a close-up of one exasperated teen.]

You know, I must've missed the memo because last I checked, the dead don't come back that easily. Is that normal here? And this whole "Chosen Children" thing... have they ever gotten mixed up before?

[There, he asked some questions. Now it's just a matter of seeing if it was worth it.]

( to cam. )

( to dante. )

to everyone.
Nobody here plays water glasses, right? [The look on Maya's face should tell you that this in, in fact, a Very Serious Question.] If you do, I kind of need your help. I can pay you? A little bit?

[Maya taps her lip, like she's thinking.] I would also appreciate your help if you happen to play keys or drums. [Snapping her fingers, Maya grins.] Oh! Or xylophone piano. Or bass.

Actually, if you play any kind of instrument, even if it's the kazoo, and you wouldn't mind helping me with something super important then I would super appreciate it if you responded.

Mission 7: A Sore Reprieve (Voice)

*The first thing people might notice about Dante's voice, aside from the fact that he never just uses voice, is that he sounds tired. He's trying not to sound too bad so people won't worry, but he can't keep the exhaustion out of his voice.*

Well, that sucked.

*Understatement there, Dante.*

In case ya missed it, I'm back. Sorry I worried ya, never thought I'd be gone that long. But I see the sun's back! The city's kind of a wreck, but it doesn't look like anything we can't rebuild.

So. I think survivin' that calls for a celebration. Or at least an excuse to kick back, stuff our faces and pretend we didn't just go through one form of hell or another. How about we have us a get together this Wednesday, in the cafeteria? I'll bring music, booze and some snacks, but otherwise bring whatever the hell you want.

Mission 6: Rebirth and new hope (Backdated to middle of the night)

*Look who it is! Dante looks like he's just had a long day and there is blood on his shirt, but otherwise he looks remarkably good for a guy who's supposedly dead. A large, red amulet is hanging in front of his chest instead of being tucked under his shirt where it usually is (when he's wearing one) and he's running a hand through his hair with a sigh when the feed connects.*

Alright guys, you can ignore everything Coronamon said a while ago. Well, aside from all of it bein' one big accident. I ain't dead. In fact, I'm doin' pretty good for right after a fight with Verge. Just a little sore instead of hurting in places I wasn't sure could hurt.

And like I said, the whole thing was an accident. It was supposed to be nothin' but good fun and a chance for both of us to work out some irritations with the situation at large. We just both got a little carried away and forgot that a little stabbing between brothers would actually be a problem. That's right, both of us. So if you're plannin' on hurting the guy responsible, you're gonna have to take it out on me, too. And if you pick a fight with Verge, you got no sympathy from me when he kicks your ass.

*He lets his hand drop from his head with another sigh.*

Already said this to some of you, but thanks to everyone who helped calm Coronamon down. He's takin' a nap now.

Oh, and Maya? You owe me a new tub of ice cream!

Mission 5: Renewed memories and rusted bonds.

*Dante is strangely absent from this video, but Coronamon appears to be sitting on the floor next to a bed. His tail is curled onto his lap and he seems to have been crying. In fact, he still hasn't gotten his sobs fully under control by the time he starts recording.*

Since...since a lot of you know Dante and are friends with him... *Sniff.* I should probably tell you. He's- *Gulp.* He's de- *Choke.* he's gone. It was...I think it was an accident, but... *Sniffle.* Humans don't turn into eggs, do they?

[Video] Waking Up Alone

[Garrus appears on screen, running a hand through his hair. He didn't seem sad, or shaken, or depressed, or at least he was trying not to. He was just looking for the right way to say this. Not for his sake, but for the kids. Sugar coating things was something he was never good at, so eventually, he just settled on saying it.]

Shepard's gone, and ... I don't think it's another data-stream. Don't ask me how I know, but something in my gut tells me she's back home.

[He sighs, again fishing for words. He'd been doing that a lot recently, thinking about it.]

I can't exactly speak for her, but, ah ... I'm sure she'd say she's sorry for just up and disappearing. And that if she could have, she would have said goodbye.

[There's a little loneliness in his eyes for a moment, as he offers a reassuring smile aimed at the kids.]

I'm not much of a substitute, but if anyone needs to talk, or, ... or anything, I'll be around.

concerto 003 [backdated to the 28th]

[As Maya and Cam are finishing up their duet, suddenly the D-Terminals are graced with a view of the Matlin family's kitchen. Katie is on the other side of the kitchen counter, although she looks younger than Cam might remember, and she's mashing something up in a bowl. It's a banana, for anyone who might recognize it.

"Why do you do that?"

The voice is considerably younger than Maya's current one, but hers all the same, and comes from somewhere behind the camera. Katie doesn't look up when Maya asks the question, just continues her mashing.

"Because it's basically ice cream."

"We have ice cream." Maya sounds suspicious of her sister. "I don't get why you're doing all this extra work."

Shaking her head, Katie snorts. "Do you know how many calories are in ice cream? This is way healthier. You want some?"

Pushing the bowl toward Maya, Katie smiles. Maya reaches out for it, and takes it while Katie turns around and grabs another banana from the freezer. "You can have that. I'll just make more for me."]

Memory Leak: Try some of my pie

You know...this is just me the licensed mental health expert here...but these memories have really said alot about how screwed up all you kids are.

Seriously how do I only have two clients? There's no shame in talking with a professional you know. I'm perfectly happy to work out a payment plan that fits your budget.

[And predictably the screen goes snowy and is replaced by one of Harley's less then favorite memories. When the screen comes back she looks dismayed]

...Also I'd like to point out how weird it is that even though these are supposed to be our memories? None of them that I've seen have been in the first person.

Tenth Goal - File Not Found. [Video/potential Action later.]

( warning for unsettling content; self-harm )

[ooc: The actual video can be reached by clicking the link in the cut, hitting "continue as free user," and jumping to 17:57 on the timestamp. It ends at 18:55. Warning for what you'd see, it's a kid intentionally falling from a high place to break his own arm. Short, not graphic, but unsettling to say the least. After the static, it picks up again at 20:48 and ends at 21:13 or so. The first scene is, under the cut, briefly detailed. The second is not as it has more dialogue, so it needs to be watched, and it is brief discussion of the previous injury with internalized ableism.

Last but not least Cam may or may not respond to people! This post can be used for action if they try to find him, hint he might be in his room.]
