[onlytools]

Just how long are you going to be flailing around for?

Not yet... still trying. He has this idea that this is all a game though, that we won't actually die if we're attacked in the Digital World.

That's not true- of course.

Enough about me, tell me about being a Tamer.

[onlytools]

... I hope he'll be okay.

A Tamer? Well, it's not like there's a dictionary definition that I can just explain. It's... complicated, I guess.

[xrosing]

Try me, I like complicated.

[onlytools]

It means that you have a partner Digimon, basically. And you fight together, and grow stronger together...

... No, there's more to it than that, I think. I'm just not sure what it is yet.

[xrosing]

My partner has always been Sparrowmon... but us generals can have new Digimon join our army so now I have Sparrowmon, the Monitamon, and Mervamon.

And yes, I'm positive there is more there than what you know now. Bonds formed and everything, correct?

[onlytools]

Right... that's weird, though. I've never heard of a person who has more than one partner. Are you just using them for battle?

[xrosing]

Of course not, they're my friends as well you know. We do something called Digi-Xros where we're able to fuse two Digimon together.

[holding up her Xros Loader.]

[onlytools]

[ she studies it with a furrowed brow ] What is that? Is that what you use to fuse Digimon together?

[xrosing]

It's my Xros Loader. Don't you have something like this too? I figured if you have a Digimon you must.

[onlytools]

I have this. [ she holds up her Digivice ] Yours is weirdly-shaped, though. I've never seen anything like it. I haven't heard of fusing Digimon together, either.

[xrosing]

It must have to do with the general and tamer thing.

[...]

Nene Amano. [it just occurred to her they hadn't even said their names???] I guess I should introduce myself.

[onlytools]

[ she blinks. oh, right... ] Ruki Makino. [ she's still more interested in Nene's Xros Loader, though ] But, you know, it's strange there's this whole aspect to Digimon that I don't know about. Everything else up until now has been familiar, at least.

[xrosing]

[she shrugs.] Everything had been new to me the moment I entered the Digital World.... I had no clue Digimon even existed until that moment I was sucked in by Darkknightmon.

[onlytools]

[ staring ] Seriously?

[xrosing]

[Staring right back.]

Seriously.

[onlytools]

Have you been living under a rock? There's no way it's possible to go through the last couple of years without hearing about Digimon even once.

[xrosing]

....That's strange, do people you know actually know about the Digital World?

[the problems of all the previous seasons coming together. such conflicts like these.]

[onlytools]

[ but how would we have SHENANIGANS without cross-season inconsistencies!! ] No... not quite. [ she pulls her deck of trading cards from her jeans pocket, holding it up for Nene to see ]

[xrosing]

[WHAT WERE THE WRITERS THINKING?!?!?

Nene glances down at the cards and frowns a bit.]

Can I see that?

[onlytools]

Yeah. Just don't mess them up. [ she hands them over ]

[xrosing]

[Looks through them....]

I recognize some of these Digimon.... and you're saying... you know Digimon as a- card game?

[onlytools]

Right. It's how I became a Tamer, too.

[xrosing]

You became a Tamer from....? Ah- this is really strange.

And I wonder... you don't know that girl that showed up beside you, right? So she's not a Tamer either... and she's not a general.

[onlytools]

She might be a Tamer. It's not like there's a way for me to know how many of them there are -- there's no guarantee that the ones I know are the only ones in the whole world, you know. Her Digivice is closer to mine than it is to yours, anyway.

[xrosing]

Digivice? Is that what yours is called? Hm-... hers did look a little different from yours though.
