Mundane-san,

I thought we agreed that 'post-canon' for my timepoint. It means you don't have to canon-review to make sure that you remember what I knew at that time. And it doesn't leave Daisuke and the others without me when things get troubled. My parents and friends are already going to be worried if I disappear again.

And, I feel so much better after the end, than I did even during Christmas. I don't really want to open that up again.

Well, at least you are mostly considering around Christmas as my canonpoint and aren't going any earlier.

I believed destined children had all the answers. It appears now as though you search as zealously as I do for a suitable canon point. I wonder if it is possible to be transported to a distant future where I had all the answers. Is this what you call 'post-canon'?

[choiceofkindness]

I don't think anyone ever has all the answers, but I know a lot more than I did.

And I know what I want, but it's more convincing my mun.

[darkdragonwarrior]

I can't be controlled, you know this. You should be certain to let your mundane know that you are what you are as well.

I cannot say you should take my advice, it has stained my very existence since the beginning. What I can say is that your partnership is mutual, you are satisfied in each other. Is this not what the chosen and the Digimon do?

[choiceofkindness]

Something like that.

[darkdragonwarrior]

What of Christmas?

Something you speak of often. Neither Arukenimon, Mummymon, or that infernal Oikawa ever spoke so kindly of it, or anything for that matter.

[choiceofkindness]

A lot of things happened that day and the day after -- I think that week was one of the most... most eventful of my life. Some external things, like Oikawa and Arukenimon causing trouble, but a lot of internal stuff. Figuring things out, thanks to new information.

When you figure things out, you'll understand how it feels.

I've gone through bigger transitions in my life, but that one was the most recent.

[That last sentence is the understatement of the century, Ken]

[darkdragonwarrior]

You and I are in agreement. Not until the last moments of my dark crusade did I have to face decisions of friendships and ties, the same of this eventful season you mention. I see that now in your allies and what you call bonds between friends.

What I would not give to be fully Digimon. Then maybe I would have this understanding.

These transitions are not exclusive to Digimon kind are they?

[Yes Black...people change too.]

[choiceofkindness]

No, they're not. Humans aren't born knowing the value of friendship and ties. It's something we learn while growing up. And sometimes we forget and have to be reminded.

I apologize, Black is so dry xD

[darkdragonwarrior]

Let me ask you this… do you now find yourself learning these values to reminding yourself of their meaning?

There was a time when I believed I didn’t need to be reminded of what comes with having a heart. I had the answers and I could ask only the questions that would keep me the strongest of Digimon in existence. I was wrong in that.. I hadn’t forgotten, nor had I needed reminding, but only that I was still learning all along.

S'okay

[choiceofkindness]

A little bit of both, I think. I'd forgotten them for a long time.

It's like any sort of skill -- as you learn new things, you relearn the old things as well.

Considering that my other muse is Dale, it's a completely different pace XD

[darkdragonwarrior]

Would your friends help you to learn your values?

I am beginning to feel deep down that I need to find those values with help, but I don't suppose your friends can help an artificial Digimon such as myself?

Re: Considering that my other muse is Dale, it's a completely different pace XD

[choiceofkindness]

They might be able to. I'm friends with humans and Digimon, and they're all different. Just because you were born in a different way than the rest of us, doesn't mean that we have nothing in common.

[darkdragonwarrior]

I must think on this. Never had the thought occurred to me what is expected of a Dark Tower Digimon, except but the purpose of his creation.

You have shown me that all of that can change in an instant. I would very much like to alter the course of my existence to be the best friend I am capable of, not the best warrior.

[choiceofkindness]

That sounds like a good goal to me. Being the best friend you're capable of being.

[darkdragonwarrior]

I must thank you for your sage advice.

Perhaps someday when I can be that good friend, I could serve you and the Digidestined. I can only say that this place, these 'games' have given me a potential I never envisioned. Your mundane may help you find another path, yourself.

[choiceofkindness]

You don't need to serve us. You can help us, if you want to, and we'll help you back.

[darkdragonwarrior]

I am ever in your debt, you and your Chosen. Thank you. [He inclined his head, looking as humble as he knew how.]

[choiceofkindness]

You're welcome.
