 Uh, hello? I was wondering if anyone could help me out with something. There's something I want to make, but I couldn't find any art supplies in the game room. Does anyone know if there is anything like markers and big sheets of paper anywhere?

Also!  Does anyone like playing hide and go seek? Because Guilmon wants to play, but it isn't as fun with just two people.

[Takato moves to close the message, and then pauses as one more thought occurs to him.]

I guess I had one more question. I know there are people from a lot of worlds here. So I was just wondering. Do any of your worlds have Digital Worlds?

Hello Takato. I fear I do not even know what Digital is, so I would have to say no!

Never too late!

[dreamtamer]

Digital is... I guess its kind of hard to explain if you don't have computers. But it means made of data, which is kind of like information. Digimon are digital, and the Digital World is where they came from.

[marriedanidiot]

And Digimon are like your Guillmon, yes? But yes, I fear I only was introduced to computers here, on the train.

[dreamtamer]

That's right! Guilmon is a digimon. But not all digimon look like him. Guilmon is the only Guilmon! [Because Takato dreamed him up.]

I'm not very good at explaining. [He sighs.] But I guess you could say.... Its like my world has a lot of different computers and they can talk to each other. And the place they talk to each other is what we call the network. And the Digital World kind of grew out of the network.

[marriedanidiot]

Talk? Are they alive then?

[dreamtamer]

No? At least I don't think they are?

But when people use them they share information with each other.

[marriedanidiot]

Only a metaphorical speech then? Ah well... it would have been interesting if they could actually speak!

[dreamtamer]

It would! [Well as long as they didn't speak like the one program he had spoken too. But that fell into the area of things that Takato would really rather not talk about it. The D-Reaper... He knew that it had only been following its programming. But it had been terribly cruel all the same.]

Sorry, I don't think that I'm explaining any of this very well.

[marriedanidiot]

No, no, you're doing well!

[ She smiles at him ]

It's only that I know so little of this myself. But they all 'talk' together, and form a ... network?

[dreamtamer]

Something like that! And then the network is where the Digital World is. That's where the digimon and the digignomes came from. Everything there is made out of data. And when I went there I became data too!

[marriedanidiot]

[ ... Takato your world makes no sense ]

But are you not a human? How would that work?

[dreamtamer]

I'm human, but when I went there I had to become data too. Just like the digimon and the world. Just like when digimon come to our world they have to change so that they can have bodies like the humans and animals in my world.

[Takato's world is the Evangelion of the Digimon franchise.]

[marriedanidiot]

[ ........................1?!??!?!? ]

I didn't think that was possible. [ She says, blinking at him ] For an Incarnate to change their form, that is.

[dreamtamer]

I don't know what an incarnate is? But digimon change forms all the time! We call it evolving. And when I evolve with Guilmon, I can change too!

[marriedanidiot]

We are. [ She pauses to explain ] Humans, elves, dwarves... we are spirit and flesh as one being, Incarnates.

And as a general rule, we don't change forms. That tends to be the province of the ainur, beings of spirit for whom flesh is but dressing. Are... you absolutely sure you are human, Takato?

[dreamtamer]

Well, I think I am?

[ Although then he has to conscientiously add a little more explanation to that. ]

Except when we're Dukemon.

[marriedanidiot]

[ .................. ]

I must wonder. [ She says doubtfully ] How human the humans of your world truly are, in that case.

[dreamtamer]

We always called ourselves humans?

[He wasn't really sure what else to say.]

[marriedanidiot]

[ She shakes her head ]

You are like no humans I have known. Perhaps you are very different.

[ Nerdanel you have known a grand total of ONE human before the train ]

[dreamtamer]

[ Guilmon had been listening to the conversation. But now he decides to push his head into view of the camera. He had an important question. ]

Does that mean Takato really is Takatomon?

[marriedanidiot]

Hello Guilmon!

[ She smiles and shrugs ]

I don't know, my dear. Perhaps so.
