[Allen had just finished training for the day. It wasn't like his usual workout as he was slowly working his way back to to that. He was still honestly tired after what happened even if he didn't do an awful lot beyond talking.

But to him talking can be just as exhausting and yet here he was with a smile on his face.]

Hello... So I don't normally talk on here much but I'm trying this new thing called... being open and it's been going well. Sort of.

[He has his moments.]

So I decided why don't we all try giving a fact or two about ourselves. They don't have to be super serious or anything. Just anything will do and we can talk.

I will go first with some facts:

One: Back home we had a situation where people became zombie like and so to deal with something... I hit on a male robot to get him to do it. It worked.
Two: I have a bone to pick with Cupid. They're an asshole and I don't like them.
Three: I've cheated pirates out of money. Like a lot of money.
And finally Four: I once stabbed myself with my own sword. I thought it wouldn't do anything... I was very very wrong.

[All rather odd facts about himself that he was comfortable with sharing. The smile till on his face.]

So whose going to be next if anyone.

Takato looks confused.

"What teleporter? I don't know of any tech like that in the Digital World? Unless you mean the data streams?"

He shakes his head.

"The Digital World grew by itself. No one even knew it was there until the Digimon started coming to the Real World.."

[blitzcheer]

"Oh," right, he kind of got vague there, didn't he. "I mean that if data streams are like teleporters, then - if the Digital World's a digital world - then it makes sense the moment you guys get digital technology, they can make a link between the two worlds, right?"

He brings two fingers together, indicating two technologies coming together.

"But wow, I never knew digital worlds could exist... that's kinda cool. I wonder if they can just multiple...?"

In the digital code...universe?

[dreamtamer]

"Well, maybe? The data streams can teleport people, but there's no way to predict where they take you. If you get hit by one you could end up anywhere in the Digital World." Takato laughs. "Even Hypnos couldn't do something like that. When we needed to get home they sent us a Digital Ark to carry us back to the Real World."

"They're really amazing, right? I don't know if they can multiply, but all kinds of strange things can happen there. Like we figured out that we could breathe water there if we just told ourselves that we could."

[blitzcheer]

"The Digital Ark a digital...vessel?" He laughs, a scoff- "A ship? 'Cause this is starting to sound like someone taking a boat between two places."

Two worlds, and one of them's digital. How does that even work? But why not, right? After that space-station place they were in and had to 'jump' into their computers...!

"Was it the same like that all over there? Sounds like some real-life hacking going on!"

[dreamtamer]

"Well, maybe it was a little like a ship. A digital ship that could go between worlds. The Ark was really nice too. I nearly got left behind, but when Guilmon asked it to stop it listened! And later it became a good friend." Takato's smile here is a little sad. He knew that a part of Grani was still with him, but he still missed him.

"Mmm, everything in the Digital World is made of data. When I was there, I was data too. And my friend Jenrya figured out that we could change just a little bit of what was real there for us by believing it. Like we didn't need to eat if we didn't think about eating."

Which may help to explain why Takato had struggled so much with the illusion training.

[blitzcheer]

...a boat became a friend?

Well. Okay. That happens! Madoka's friends with a floating keyring, so why not an entire boat.

But, speaking of not eating if you think about it.

"If you did that, couldn't you just make food appear?"

Because if it's a choice between not eating orrrr getting to eat!

[dreamtamer]

When the boat is half-digimon? It happens.

"We never thought about that. But I think... from the way Jenrya talked about it I think it was more like, we could change how the world affected us, a little? But we couldn't change the world itself."

[blitzcheer]

"Well that sucks." Boo. Booo. This is the most disappointing news of a digital-weird-world he's heard yet. (Okay, maybe the city getting destroyed was bad, but!)

"Not even giving yourself food-making powers?" Oh. "Could you do that? Did you ever try? You've gotta be able to- I dunno, breathe fire if you can change yourself! Right?"

[dreamtamer]

"Guilmon can already do that?" Takato was a little confused at the idea. Why would he want to change himself to do something that his friend could do?

[blitzcheer]

"But that's Guilmon, right? ...You've never wondered what it's like?"

...He's never thought about it before now, but Tidus would absolutely breathe fire if given the chance.

[dreamtamer]

"I think being part of Dukemon is enough for me."
