[Dictated]

 [For the past few days Takato has been busily working on a new project.  He wanted to make it perfect, so he'd stayed in his room and started it over and over again until he was sure he had the perfect artwork.  

He had finally finished it this morning, and now he was standing in front of his door uncertainly.  He glances down at the large poster in his hand, then looks back at the door.  Finally he pulls out his journals and dictates a single question into it.]

Um, does anyone know a good way to put a drawing on a door?  I don't think I want to use tape, but I can't think of anything else.

Yeah, just wish for some sticky-tac. It's yellow and squishy and it's basically designed for doin' that and nothin' else.

[biggestdreamer]

Eh, really? I've never heard of something like that before.

[hard_talker]

Yep! You tear off little pieces of it and roll 'em into balls ... and then you stick those to the back of your poster, on the corners. And it sticks the poster to the wall and doesn't leave holes or marks or take the paint up.

[biggestdreamer]

That sounds perfect! Thanks.

[hard_talker]

Hey, no problem. What're you putting on your door?

[biggestdreamer]

A banner! Its to represent all my friends.

[hard_talker]

Oh, hey, that sounds cool. Didja draw it yourself?

[biggestdreamer]

Yeah! I worked really hard on it.

[hard_talker]

That's cool. [he grins - it sounds like the sort of thing Nora does] Friends here, or friends from home? Or a little'a both?

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Did you already draw the picture? If not, you could just draw on the door.

[biggestdreamer]

I already drew it. I thought it would be really rude to the castle to try and draw on it.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

I think of it as more of an honor.

[biggestdreamer]

Mom and Dad always said it was rude to draw on anything except paper.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Really? Mother always let me paint on the walls.

[biggestdreamer]

Eh, really? Mom always got really mad if I did that. Especially if it was in the bakery.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Well, I guess it wasn't like anyone but her and I saw them...

[biggestdreamer]

You never had any visitors?

[valuedstrength]

Looks like you already have the advice you need. [Steve chuckles.] Can I ask what you drew?

[biggestdreamer]

A banner. It's something I did back home too. When we went to the Digital World I drew one with all of our faces on it, so that we could always find each other.

[valuedstrength]

You're hoping if your friends come they'll be able to know it's you by that?

[biggestdreamer]

I hope so! And even if they don't ever come here, it will help remind me of them every time I see it.

[valuedstrength]

It never hurts to have that. [It's not like his sketchbooks lacks drawings one the people he knows from home.]

[biggestdreamer]

Mmm, I don't want to ever forget any of them.

[valuedstrength]

In my experience, it's pretty tough to forget friends. Better avoid bumps to the head just to be safe.

[biggestdreamer]

...At home I think all the adults wanted us to forget.
