[Hello, Paradisa! There's a tiny red... something meandering about the lobby. It looks a little lost.]

This sure doesn't look like the Digital World. Maybe I got hit by a data stream? [He'll pause and sniff the air for a moment]

If it's the Digital World, then where are all the Digimon? [Maybe he's somewhere else? ... But where would he be?]

Comments

[encryptedlock]

[That's--

No, it can't be. The voice is too high. Still, it's clearly another Digimon, and York had liked all the ones he's met before. He speaks into the journal.]

You're not in the Digital World. This is a world called Paradisa.

[digitalhazard]

Oooh... where's that? [So accepting of strange voices!]

I don't think I've heard of it.

[encryptedlock]

It's--well, it's here! There's a castle where everyone has a room, then a town outside, and then lots and lots of wilderness outside that. There's a kitchen that has all the food you could want on the first floor.

[digitalhazard]

[At the mention of food his voice seems to brighten considerably]

Really!? Do they have bread?

[encryptedlock]

They sure do.

[Wait.]

Guilmon? Is that you?

[Action]

[biggestdreamer]

[Takato was hopelessly confused. Not that this was anything new for him. The last thing he remembered he had been in Shinjuku talking to Juri after they had sent out their messages in the data packets. It wasn't the same as having Guilmon back, but there had been hope. That maybe he would see the message.

And then he was here, in some place that looked like a strange hotel or castle. Takato had just had enough time to start panicking when his D-Arc beeped. Barely daring to hope, he draws it out and simply stares at the active compass.

And Takato starts to run.]

Guilmon! Guilmon! Can you hear me?

[digitalhazard]

[He knows that voice! He's recognize it absolutely anywhere. Plus it hadn't been that long since he'd heard it]

Takato? Takato?! Where are you? [He'll start running in the direction of his friend's voice.]

I can hear you!

[biggestdreamer]

Guilmon! [Takato's eyes start to water at the sound of the familiar voice. He'd almost started to be afraid that he would never hear his friend's voice again.]

I can hear you, boy! I'm coming!

[digitalhazard]

Okay! I'm coming too! [Just as quickly as these stubby little legs will take him.

He knew you would always keep your promise!]

[biggestdreamer]

[Takato bursts into the lobby and looks around frantically for any sign of something red.]

Where are you?

[doublethefun]

[and here's a blue magical pony trotting past with an apple in her mouth, but she takes a double-take when she spots the creature. After a few moments of indecision, the apple gets tucked under her wing so she can talk.]

I apologize for mine rudeness, but may I ask thy name? I have ne'er seen a creature such as thee afore.

[digitalhazard]

[That's not something he sees everyday. Even when he was in the Digital World!]

I'm Gigimon. Who are you? [Also pfff, rudeness. What are you talking about?]

[doublethefun]

A pleasure to meet thee, Gigimon. My name is Luna. [awww. You're really pretty cute, whatever you are.]

[digitalhazard]

Nice to meet you, Luna. Do you live here?

[doublethefun]

[hmmm]

The answer is 'yes,' more or less. However, I did not believe I would have stayed here for this long.

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna wanders into the lobby to see the little red guy hopping around.]

Huh? [He's never seen anything like that before! It was kind of cute, although it gave off a hint of being so cute that if you tried to pet it it'd bite your hand off.

Just a hint, though.]

[digitalhazard]

Hi! [Aww, Gigimon wouldn't bite anybody.

Unless it was the D-Reaper. Or a Digimon going wild]

[not_mafia]

[It talks!!]

A-ah... hello.

[digitalhazard]

Do you know were this is?

[not_mafia]

Oh, um, this is a castle called Paradisa...

[withmymind]

It's not digital.

[digitalhazard]

Are you sure?

[withmymind]

Yes. Wouldn't be possible.

[digitalhazard]

Huh? Sure it is. I've been there.

[withmymind]

It's not here.
