(OOC: Threads arising from this question may contain some unpleasant aspects of Eva's world re: mewtwo/s, including how they were created and how they're seen. Eva'll take any actual talk of it off the ICP.)


A question, if you will. [Eva is nowhere near as calm as she tries to sound, and it becomes clearer as she speaks. She's also recording all of this on Roro for later playback.]

Say... Say you know someone. You call them a good person, someone who always helps and tries to do the right thing. Yet, they've also protected a creature... no, a person your society and culture deems a kill-on-sight threat, for very good reasons. It's not the right thing to do by society, and it means... means they'll be branded a Traitor to be executed if anyone ever finds out. [A breath -you wouldn't be wrong if you get the feeling this is personal for her, because, it is. ] But they feel it's the right thing to do because the person is a person and worse yet, the equivalent of a child. So they do. They protect the person, even knowing they've signed their death warrant.

What... What you do if you found out? Would... would you condemn them? Or would you... would you agree with them?

Ah... and um. For those that saw that illusion, the one with the kids -my sisters-, can... Can I talk to you? Privately?

[Takato had wanted to talk to Eva to thank her for helping him through his illusions. But... then he'd seen her asking this question.]

When I first met Guilmon, I was really scared that someone would take him away from me. There was an an organization that didn't think digimon were alive like humans are.They said that they were just rogue computer programs that needed to be destroyed. But I knew they were wrong.

[It had been a frightening thought for a child who had just met an amazing creature who was rapidly becoming his best friend.]

[mtsilver_conquor]

I'm hoping something changed that view of theirs? Or.... do they still think that?

Because I'd happily tell them they're wrong to their faces, and that they're being incredible stupid and blind.

It took a long time, and I'm still not sure what changed Mr. Yamaki's mind. But when we had to go to the Digital World, he started helping us. And he became a good friend.

Sometimes he even comes by my parents store to buy bagels now.

[And just from what he says, Eva has a pretty good idea of what probably changed the man's mind.] Probably because you going to the Digital World made it a lot more real. But, either way, it's good he changed his mind and sometimes visits.

I guess your parents have good bagels, yeah?

"The best! My parents own a bakery and they make all the best bread." He laughs fondly."When I first found Guilmon I fed him on the day old bread from the bakery. That's why he likes bread so much."

As for the rest, Takato frowns a little uncertainly."Maybe? There was a lot going on back then and it got really confusing. I think.... A lot of the city got destroyed because of the earthquakes. Maybe that had something to do with it too?"
