Now that Shelbie knows that Toujiro told Tamenaga that he thought she was kind of cool when they were in high school seven years ago, everything is falling apart. But like- that doesn't mean anything. Don't be dumb.

In the digital world, Sangoman and Kiho are traveling with Matt and Gabumon, on their way to some evil castle or something... but let's be real- Sangomon just thinks this is a field trip. :) 

The Digimon system we're using is being homebrewed by Lio as we play test it. Our theme song and graphics were made using AI, and the background music in most episodes comes from M4S on Spotify.

SPEAKER_27

Hi, it's Little Chump, and welcome back to the Chaos Crew. Last time in the Digimon game, Orcamon and Keo defeated a boss, one of the Zodiac 13, and met another Digidestin then his partner. They are traveling together, which makes one of them happy and the other one kind of miserable. Shelby gave Wispy a set of figurines that she'd made for him so he could communicate about people that they know even when he doesn't have a voice. And she told him and Bubman, the in-training Digivon who's been in her apartment, that they can play with the art drawer while she's gone. And then she headed off to work. Class went fine, and she stopped by Sobey's room at the end of the day and met a sub named Gallus. They chatted for a bit and it was fine, but then Shelby had to actually call Sobey to talk about the thing she'd swung by to say, which was um it could be cool if we hang out after work on Monday and like talk and get to know each other a bit. She left a voicemail, he immediately called back, and so then they had the conversation again in person, well, over the phone, but it was awkward, and it's not supposed to be a date. Hopefully, everybody understands that. She got home and Wispy and Black Togemon X had made a huge mess of her home. Also, uh Bubmon has eaten all of the food in her fridge and Digiboles. So that's great. She got a text message from Tojiro about there being a meeting of the lamplighters in the morning. And since it was pretty early, she messaged back and asked if anyone was at the base. He said no. She asked if he was at the base. He said no. She was gonna drop it, but then Tomanaga messaged and asked what kind of milk she wanted if she did swing by. So she figured out he was running around buying stuff and called him, and they had this anxious conversation in which he accidentally revealed that back during high school, Tojiro thought she was cool. Uh, which caused a little bit of a spiral, and I'm sure it's gonna be fine and not awkward, like at all.

SPEAKER_13

Um I would like to see the star before she arrives. That's okay.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, of course. Uh so we're gonna pick back up uh just after things. Uh probably after you're headed there in the car.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah. Um So I feel like however long the drive is supposed to take, uh, considerably longer than that passes without any kind of messages or her showing up or whatever. Um, so if it's like a 15-minute drive, then it's like a half an hour or something before uh Tom and Aga's phone rings.

SPEAKER_36

Tomanaga's phone rings and she answers and see. Hello?

SPEAKER_27

Um Okay, I are Okay, okay, okay. Sorry, this is fine. It's fine. Um, are you back at the base? Or the hangout. Or whatever. It's cold.

SPEAKER_36

Yes.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, cool. Alright, we have a problem.

SPEAKER_33

You can get traffic.

SPEAKER_27

Oh! You're not! Okay, okay, cool.

SPEAKER_03

So I don't know, I'm I'm totally there. Please, do you need something? I could I'll make it happen.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah, no, I was I was gonna ask you to come uh outside so that uh I could have you get in the car and I can talk to you. Because I have driven a block around the base three or four times now, and I'm physically incapable of parking the car and getting out.

SPEAKER_03

Uh but it sounds like you're outside!

SPEAKER_22

No!

SPEAKER_03

I can do that, I'll park your car!

SPEAKER_22

Okay, where are you?

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_27

SPEAKER_27

SPEAKER_27

You know what. You know what that's fair.

SPEAKER_13

Um, is it okay if like the light turns red so I have a second where I don't need to be driving, driving? Yeah.

SPEAKER_27

Sure. Okay, great. Um. Tominog, I'm about to to give Wispy my sabotama. I don't know if that makes the call hang up or not. But I will go ahead and like just take the egg and hold it out to him. Like, it probably tastes like uh anxiety more than anything else. But do you want it so that you can try talking? He You can see no.

SPEAKER_32

I just He shakes his head.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, okay, that's fine. I just thought if you wanted to digivolves, you can say whatever you're feeling. That'd be okay. Because we're working on working okay, never mind. I'm not giving it to him. Do you see my car?

SPEAKER_32

Uh I do not.

SPEAKER_22

Okay. Cool, cool, cool, cool.

SPEAKER_03

This is me as a person being like, what the fuck is this happening?

SPEAKER_13

SPEAKER_36

He was not close.

SPEAKER_27

Okay. And I will just drive. And uh guess I will leave the f the cop.

SPEAKER_33

Is this a thing that has to happen over the phone?

SPEAKER_27

No, no, I guess it isn't. I just wanted you to say if you saw my car because I'm not gonna recognize your minivan because there's a lot of vans. If you said no, okay, I can just- I can just go to the school. I can just go to the school. As long as you're not lying about being at the school, then we'll find each other.

SPEAKER_23

SPEAKER_27

Okay, so there's there's nobody in the lot. It's it's just fine. I'll park next to his van.

SPEAKER_03

Cool. The shadiest drug deal that's going down looks like a time.

SPEAKER_31

Um we don't have time to worry about stupid stuff like that. Nobody cares.

SPEAKER_24

We have real problems. We have real problems here. Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Sure. So you park.

SPEAKER_33

Uh he gets out of his car and walks over and gets in yours? Is this what was it's Yeah, no, see, it's fine, it's fine.

SPEAKER_27

I thought I thought you would already be there, and then I could just ask you to to come out so we can talk, but whatever. I just I just need to talk. This is fine.

SPEAKER_33

Okay. Are you leaving? Is this like you're telling us you're gonna leave? Because this is a real brutal way to do it.

SPEAKER_24

I I don't know if I can do it, man.

SPEAKER_33

I will I'll do whatever you want. Please do not leave.

SPEAKER_02

I will I'll kill for you.

SPEAKER_15

Please don't, please don't!

SPEAKER_02

Don't, don't I'll kill somebody, it's okay.

SPEAKER_22

Um I don't know.

SPEAKER_27

I just I've been trying to figure this out. Right? Because because if he did actually think that I was kind of cool, then why does he hate me so much now? Because like I haven't even done anything. And it's just I'm getting.

SPEAKER_22

I don't know. I don't know, it doesn't make any sense.

SPEAKER_33

So are we talking about uh Tojo?

SPEAKER_27

Yes.

SPEAKER_33

Oh.

SPEAKER_27

No, I'm having a fight with plush Psykemon!

SPEAKER_33

I can see that.

SPEAKER_27

He's the most dramatic entitled being I've ever met! And and we just we're flying, oh yes, it's Tojiro. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_23

Okay, if it's Tojiro, it's a lot easier.

SPEAKER_36

If it was plush Psykemon, I can help you. I don't know how to deal with plush Psykimon. I fucking hate that.

SPEAKER_31

Why? So nice.

unknown

It's all fun.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, well, so far, I haven't seen behind the mask, so I'm in the nice daydream phase where I'm like, oh what a cute plushie guy. He's just the sweetest.

unknown

That's what he wants you to think.

SPEAKER_24

Fine! Whatever. I don't want to talk about plush anybody!

SPEAKER_23

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Okay. So so you're upset because Tojiro said those things.

SPEAKER_03

I can tell Tojiro not to say those things. I'll I'll I'll call him now.

SPEAKER_24

I'll tell him don't ever No no no no no no no no don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't Okay Okay.

SPEAKER_27

Okay No, I just I just wanna understand I just wanna understand why he's yelling at me Because Um You know I thought I thought he thought I was one of the bullies and then it made sense You know and and if he knows that I wasn't then like there's only a few reasons I can think of that he would be doing this and that and one of them is really really bad and I unless I am completely wrong about the kind of person he is, then it's not that like it just it doesn't make sense.

SPEAKER_36

I just need to know if he actually But I don't want to walk in there and find out Okay Um I don't know what I can do in this situation Do you want me to like I I can tell you he I think he's I think he's perfectly cool with you.

SPEAKER_27

He he's he likes you said stuff about killing me like what two days ago bit rough It is It really is sometimes you were out on the 10k run He was still doing the the uh what is it planks or something where you have to like hold yourself up by your arms because I hadn't like wiped out on the the treadmill yet so he was still doing that Oh I see I see Well maybe he does hate you I guess but I I don't know Yeah I mean Maybe that's that's likely right is that what you wanna hear No, but uh what we want doesn't really affect reality, does it? Pretty pretty dark What can you can can you change things just by wanting them to be different?

SPEAKER_01

Because I can't no Okay, see so it's still dark I can I don't I don't know what to do in this situation.

SPEAKER_27

I don't know what to do either. Because if thing that would like be best for him is never having to see me again, then I only have one option, you know?

SPEAKER_36

And it I don't think not seeing you again is really uh I don't Okay.

SPEAKER_07

I don't know. Okay, no that's fine.

SPEAKER_22

That's fine. That's fine. I'm sorry, this is probably too much.

SPEAKER_27

Um how about uh how about I just I give you I wanna see I give you the bag with um with black dogamon accident and you can just you and Reliomon can just go back to the base and it's fine.

SPEAKER_36

Um and I wish now real is not with him. So he's either left him in the car or Well, yeah, I assume he's in the car.

SPEAKER_13

I don't know if he is, but she is assuming he's in the car.

SPEAKER_22

And I will have a panic attack by myself.

SPEAKER_23

So yeah, that's the not I don't know.

SPEAKER_22

But this is unfair to you.

SPEAKER_10

So, um yeah.

SPEAKER_13

I will reach in the back and pull the bag up front.

SPEAKER_23

Uh okay.

SPEAKER_27

Black Tokemon X owns this bag and this shirt now, apparently. I don't know what you guys uh need him for, but you can um Well we're gonna hand him into the mission.

SPEAKER_36

Cause that way we get the full bounty.

SPEAKER_27

Well then why wasn't I allowed to do it? I was there for the fight!

SPEAKER_36

Because we're gonna hunt that's what the plan is. We're gonna track down his owner so we can hand them both in.

SPEAKER_23

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah. Because you don't wanna hand both of them in because Oh, you wanna hand both of them, or else you don't get the fool.

SPEAKER_27

Sorry. Togiro's message was like, There's a meeting tomorrow, bring stupid Digimon! That's it. So I didn't really get any kind of like And you're upset that No, I'm just saying I didn't get any update on the plan, so that makes sense. Okay, well, I guess then yeah, you can you can still you can take him back to the base and you can uh you can tell Tojiro that I'm sorry and it'll be fine. You should probably start driving.

SPEAKER_33

What maybe you should just come back to the base.

SPEAKER_27

I don't think I can. I've been trying and I can't.

SPEAKER_36

So uh is there a way that you could?

SPEAKER_20

I don't know.

SPEAKER_27

Um is like even if even if I try, there's still a good chance I'm just gonna panic and bolt. Um that is kind of my MO. So uh I d I just Look! I gave you the money, please just just get out of my car and you can go do whatever and I um His car starts taking off.

SPEAKER_04

Let's see Alright Okay Um Oh no You left You left your car batting with your Digimon in it He wanted He wanted the haircon Oh no Oh Lena's gonna be so mad Why That's her car Okay but her kid's in the back Oh god Yes Just not Do not change anything It's still your fault You need to buckle like right now Alright Buckles up You're gonna try and chase down the calf?

SPEAKER_36

Yeah Alright I would love for you to make a flight check Okay DC will be Just uh just an eight Just an eight, okay.

SPEAKER_31

That seems fine.

SPEAKER_28

Let's hope it's fine. Thirteen. Yes.

SPEAKER_22

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

So thirteen? That's enough as you sit there peeling out as you start driving after them. They're driving in a straight line, as it is just straight down the road. Are you gonna try and get up beside them, do maneuvers or anything? Um you've caught up to them.

SPEAKER_27

Are they driving safely-ish?

SPEAKER_36

Sort of. He like swerves a little and hits a couple of cones.

SPEAKER_27

Okay. Alright, I know you'll like to do the thing where you tell me the thing that you think I want to hear instead of the thing that is actually true. We cannot do that right now because there is a child in that car. Okay?

SPEAKER_10

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_27

Okay. Um, on a scale of one to ten, where ten is yes and and one is absolutely not, how likely are you to try to jump into that vehicle if I pull up alongside it?

SPEAKER_36

It stares at you for a good moment.

SPEAKER_27

Is it a one? I feel like you would be a one person, which is no shame. I would also be a one person, but um.

SPEAKER_03

I'm a ten because I don't want to die.

SPEAKER_27

You're ten, you would absolutely jump into that vehicle if I was next to it.

SPEAKER_03

Because I'm more afraid of Lena than I'm afraid of jumping out of a car.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, great! Um do you have. Have like any way to open like the sliding door or uh no. Okay, cool. Um I have never done a car cheese before. Leo, I would like to roll brains to see if there's anything in my environment that I might be able to use to either uh slow the other car down, make the jump slightly safer.

SPEAKER_36

Sure. Uh give me a can it be brains? Yeah, I was I was um just trying to decide DC. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 14. Uh which 14? That's enough.

SPEAKER_18

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Uh yeah. There's definitely a few things here and there, like as you're driving, you're like, okay, there's a zone over here that's sort of like um how would you put it? There's not a ton on the street. This is like a very empty area, which is probably a good thing. But uh you could possibly like pit maneuver them off into a lamp light or something, but no.

SPEAKER_27

Kill them.

SPEAKER_18

I mean that's gonna kill somebody. Whether it's them or whether it's Tomanaga, someone dies if they crash.

SPEAKER_24

As for yeah, is there anything that will slow them down without a crash?

SPEAKER_36

You could put them, you could like tap them onto the grass. But then they're on the grass.

SPEAKER_06

They're on the sidewall.

SPEAKER_27

I know, but like, this is not a good situation regardless. Um I don't think we wanna cr I don't think we wanna crash the car. I feel like that's a bad idea. Okay. Alright, Aureliamon is in the driver's seat. So I guess I can't move the car, I will just point. I guess I I either want to push them into the cones so they'll slow down, or like come up beside them and try to edge them into the grass. If I go wait, he needs to jump from that side. Shoot, I need to come for the Okay, okay, alright. If I have to be on If I have to have Tomanaga on the side that's closest to the car. Or the van for him to uh successfully jump. There's no traffic or anything right now, fortunately, right?

SPEAKER_00

Right now.

SPEAKER_27

Alright, we're gonna We're gonna at least try to like pull up the side then is this a minivan that has two sliding doors? Well, the alternative would be I could have him get in the backseat on the same side as me, and then I could come up on the other side and he could go for that.

SPEAKER_06

No, no.

SPEAKER_27

No, it's not. Okay. Alright. Okay, Tominaga.

SPEAKER_06

Um I don't know.

SPEAKER_27

So wait, the sliding doors on this side?

unknown

Yep.

SPEAKER_27

Oh, fantastic! Okay, good, good, correct side. Okay. Um, I'm gonna try pulling up next to them and and going at the same speed and stuff.

SPEAKER_21

Um try to get the sliding door open and get in from in.

SPEAKER_03

You want me to jump out of a moving car? Grab the handle over the floor and climb in all in one motion.

SPEAKER_28

There's a reason that I said I was a a one on terms of the jumping out of the car thing.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, the only alternative I can think of to become a five on the jump out of the car thing.

SPEAKER_27

That's fine, that's fine. The only alternative I can think of is trying to make them crash, but then Lena will definitely murder you.

SPEAKER_05

Lena might murder me for a crash.

SPEAKER_24

Right, so um. I am open to suggestions here.

SPEAKER_27

Does he have any input on how he would like this to go or where he thinks I should move or any of that or no?

SPEAKER_36

Probably not. Okay. He's super like already in that mode where he's like, ah fuck. What am I gonna do?

SPEAKER_19

Because it's it's a good point.

SPEAKER_36

Jump across the cars, this is gonna kill me. Uh oh. Right, that's why she doesn't want to do it. Yeah. Um at the same time, he's also like, what's the alternative?

SPEAKER_27

It just it really sucks because um her car doors swing out rather than sliding like the door on the van. If the van door is not on a remote, then we have no way of opening it. Same thing with the passenger door. We have no way of opening it from a moving vehicle. Yeah.

SPEAKER_23

It's a rough time.

SPEAKER_27

It is a rough time. Um, and if we crash, it could hurt the child, which I think was the thing we're trying to avoid. Uh I don't like any of these options.

SPEAKER_13

I feel like they're all that play chicken, drive in front, and use that to make them stop. Oh!

SPEAKER_36

There we go. How could it go wrong?

SPEAKER_27

Uh I mean. There's no one else on the road. I have more driving experience than the Digi one. Sure, let's try.

SPEAKER_36

You're gonna get ahead of them and try and chicken them?

SPEAKER_28

Why not?

SPEAKER_36

Roll me a flight check?

SPEAKER_28

Okay. Part of me is just screaming to use flashback and and say that I had some sort of preparation for this exact moment, but I no, I don't.

SPEAKER_36

You have to beat a five. Okay.

SPEAKER_27

19.

SPEAKER_36

19. You full floor it. Use taking off, getting ahead. He tries to floor it as well, but you can you realize he doesn't understand what gears are. And straight up is just like over-reving a car.

SPEAKER_27

Um, Dominari, is your phone over there? Can you call him and make him stop?

SPEAKER_36

My phone is in my pocket.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, great. Uh, how likely do you think he is to understand what the brakes are?

SPEAKER_28

He th he's not dumb. Okay.

unknown

Hey!

SPEAKER_27

We'll give it a few seconds of driving towards them.

SPEAKER_36

You're gonna start driving towards them.

SPEAKER_27

What am I stopped here?

SPEAKER_36

Right. Uh, you've turned as you're heading towards them now. Yeah. Uh alright. You can give me. This is what was meant to happen. It was preordained.

SPEAKER_13

Yes. Uh clearly.

SPEAKER_36

You can give me a straight up just uh flat charm check. Charm? Yeah. It's chicken.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Um versus Aurelio on's charm.

SPEAKER_27

I know. I'm like, I have tokens. I could sp no, we're not we're not gonna boost our stat right now. It's fine.

SPEAKER_33

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

You sit there and in an instant you realize, holy fuck, he's not gonna hurt.

SPEAKER_10

I get out of the way. I get him out of the way.

SPEAKER_33

Uh I need just a quick brains check.

SPEAKER_28

I can't believe I rolled a 1 on my T12! It hurts! Wait, that's a failure. Okay, let's just take token extra tokens. There you go.

SPEAKER_27

Oh 21 brains.

SPEAKER_36

21 brains. Uh yeah, split scission. You manage to turn this way rather than into the uh light pole as he flies past you, and you are left in the dust of this car as he seems to figure out gears.

SPEAKER_33

How quick that car's going? Go on.

SPEAKER_26

Okay.

SPEAKER_33

Stominarka sat there and say What was the plan there?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know!

SPEAKER_24

Do I look like an action hero when I teach high school?

SPEAKER_03

For a second there I thought you were. I thought you had a big plan.

SPEAKER_31

I was pretending! Oh god! I almost stretched my car and they can't have more to do! Okay, okay. He opens the door and drops onto the ground.

SPEAKER_24

Okay, alright. He's your Digimon.

SPEAKER_12

Off the road, right?

SPEAKER_24

Right.

SPEAKER_03

Where do you think he would go? I don't know. He knows He knows how to get to my apartment and how to get to the clubhouse. That's places to go.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, so if you think about this, right? There's nobody at your apartment right now. Is there or wait, do you live with people? Is there somebody at your apartment?

SPEAKER_10

No.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, cool. So he likes to have subjects, and his court jester is at the base. Right? So Yeah.

SPEAKER_12

So he's probably gone to the base.

SPEAKER_17

He's probably gonna the base.

SPEAKER_12

Okay. Okay. Okay, let's go to the base. Okay, please do not take this personally.

SPEAKER_27

I know, I know, I know. I know! Okay, just please do not take this personally. I kind of hate your Dichimon! Right now!

SPEAKER_12

I kinda hate Aurelium on right now.

SPEAKER_28

Right, we will turn and we will drive responsibly, like just a little fast, but we're still obeying all the trapped plus to the phase.

SPEAKER_36

You head to the base.

SPEAKER_31

Is the van there?

SPEAKER_36

Uh, yes. Crashed into a light pole.

SPEAKER_24

Oh my god. Okay, would you like to go in or would you like to run away with me? Because we could probably be far from the touch.

SPEAKER_03

Would never outrun her. You can outrun Lena.

SPEAKER_31

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_04

We've tried.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

Um, alright, so uh Okay, one of us needs to check on the baby, right? And one of us needs to tell Lena. And I didn't take Lena's car. So I think that's a you, and I will turn my car off and get out.

SPEAKER_02

I would prefer you do it, because you can go in and feign ignorance or say she's mad, you can send me a message.

SPEAKER_27

So you think that this crash created no sound. They're not aware that it happened.

SPEAKER_33

We tend to play music pretty h pretty loud.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, so so the plan is I what? Just walk in and be like, oh hey Lena, where's your van and child? What what do I say? What do I say?

SPEAKER_03

Does anyone know whose van's out there? Cause someone crashed it.

SPEAKER_27

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

And then boom.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, cool. Alright. I don't owe you one, but I'm gonna do it anyway. Just cause I don't want to see you get murdered. Go check on the baby.

SPEAKER_07

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

Okay.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

Well this was let's have a fun. Let's not do this again. Next time we hang out, vehicles turned off, keys in pockets.

SPEAKER_03

Maybe next time don't call me out to a thing.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah, sorry. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

Alright.

SPEAKER_10

Um, Wispy, if what's it you?

SPEAKER_27

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Uh, if you did evolve into Vox one tomorrow, I would appreciate it if you just don't talk with anybody who wasn't in the car about the stuff that was said in the car, okay? Could could you do that? Okay, thank you. And I will hug the ch the cat ghost and uh pick up the bag with black togemonics and walk inside.

SPEAKER_27

Uh-huh. Alright. So uh I have 15 points, and there is an infant's life on the line. So if I spend 11 of those.

SPEAKER_36

If you press ladder, it should just roll the d20 again.

SPEAKER_27

Okay. So if I spend 11 of those, I click ladder, and then we take the total for something.

SPEAKER_36

40! You have to spend 15 because you roll the five.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, that's all of them. Sure, whatever. I had 15, I spend 15. 40.

SPEAKER_36

Cool. Uh this dude this one's not lying to you. He took the baby and put it outside the car.

SPEAKER_36

Oh, the pink car. Yeah, the pink car. Yes, I can't eat. I I ran it down and it turned.

SPEAKER_27

Did the coward did the baby get to witness this moment of glory? Or not?

SPEAKER_36

No, I wish it did.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, okay. Did you by any chance um put it outside of the vehicle before you started your grand journey here?

SPEAKER_36

Well, sort of.

SPEAKER_16

I would love for you to be a little more specific.

SPEAKER_36

Well, you know, I was supposed to uh We were supposed to go get ice cream, and then Tomanaga said that he had to stop to do an errand. And so I said I don't want to do it on errand. We have to Aurelio one. And then we picked the child up and we drove it for a little while, and then something else happened that I wasn't listening to, and then Tomanaga uh ended up stopping, getting out, and I got bored, so I took the child out and put it on the side and left.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, alright, great. Thank you so much. I will like um just pat him on the shoulder. I I'm not good at at um at good gestures right now, but that's enough. It's fine. And I will head out.

SPEAKER_36

SPEAKER_27

No, it's important.

SPEAKER_36

Oh, she stares you down, pulls out a cigarette, and lights it as she looks at you.

SPEAKER_27

Look, you can be pissed at me later. This is important, and I have to go now.

SPEAKER_36

Do you wanna earn 20 burp piece? Or do you wanna take five seconds to avoid destruction?

SPEAKER_27

Okay, fine.

SPEAKER_31

SPEAKER_27

Aurelia Mon, could you repeat what you did with the loud infant?

SPEAKER_27

So a reliament said, and I double-checked. I don't know him well, but like I needed to be sure. Okay, the baby was loud, so he left it in the school parking lot, the shady school parking lot at the beginning of all of this.

SPEAKER_12

Jesus Christ!

SPEAKER_27

SPEAKER_27

Okay. I'm going as well.

SPEAKER_36

SPEAKER_27

Full, like there is a person in it.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, okay, okay, alright. Mamanaka tell me this is the baby, please. Tell and I can tell me this is the baby.

SPEAKER_34

Uh yeah, that's the baby.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, alright. Cool. I'm gonna get out, I'm gonna pick that up, I'm gonna put it in the back seat of my car and try to figure out how to buckle it in because I haven't had to do this before. Whatever, we're gonna get this thing really, really secured, and I'm gonna just collapse down into the driver's seat. Okay.

unknown

That's fine now.

SPEAKER_27

It's not injured, right? It's it looked it looked okay.

SPEAKER_36

No, it it seems fine.

SPEAKER_27

Alright. Okay. Cool. So uh just drive back like slowly.

SPEAKER_23

Yep.

SPEAKER_27

Uh, I did what you said. I asked uh I I said there was a um a wrecked minivan on someone, and no one reacted. And I asked if anyone knew somebody with the black minivan, and Tojiro made it sound like it was dumb again, and whatever. And uh um I asked to talk to a relevant one, and he came over and then told me he left the baby there, and I freaked out and went to leave, and Tojiro tried to stop me, and Lena really tried to stop me, and she's threatened me with something. I don't actually even know what burpees are. Um But the the alternative was five seconds to avoid destruction, so I'm pretty sure it's destruction. And um, I told her her child was in the parking lot because I had Aurelium on repeated and she didn't understand, so I said it and then I left and here we are.

SPEAKER_06

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah. Well, it was nice knowing you. Um, yeah. Right? That's that's what that was what I was thinking. Like, we I don't know. I don't think I accomplished that much, but like, you know, I I did some things, for sure. What about you? If she kills you. Huh?

SPEAKER_34

He starts crying.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, okay, no, hey. It's uh it's alright, we can just we can somehow blame it on me.

SPEAKER_24

So back to the running away.

SPEAKER_36

As he just heads down as eventually he rides back at the thing of walking in with the child. Lena looks at you both.

SPEAKER_12

Lena, I'm I'm so sorry. I didn't. I just um I don't know what to say.

SPEAKER_34

She's just staring him down.

SPEAKER_27

Look! Look, okay, I'm back. Oh, hand her the child. I told you I would face whatever the consequences are once I'm back, so you can just start with that, okay? And then give Tomanaga a minute to recover. Please.

SPEAKER_36

Looks at Tomanaga. Whose baby is this?

unknown

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_03

Tomanaga, it's it's your kid. You said you needed someone to go collect your kid from school? With your mini van?

SPEAKER_27

Was there a sports car in that parking lot, Dominag?

SPEAKER_04

I didn't get the car from the parking lot. I got it from the fucking The warehouse it does send me to.

SPEAKER_01

Oh. Where is it not my car?

SPEAKER_27

Is your car impounded or something?

SPEAKER_36

Yeah. When you drive oh, when you drive 150 and it's 70 zone, that usually happens.

SPEAKER_27

Okay. Okay, so you said Tom and I are gonna steal your car out of the police lot. Peacekeeper lot.

SPEAKER_07

SPEAKER_27

We have successfully stolen the wrong car. Aurelio Mon has wrapped it around a telephone pole. And we have someone else's child.

SPEAKER_36

Good job, Aurelio Mon. Thank you. I was very I was very adamant that it was the best way to stop.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_04

I just stole a child.

SPEAKER_20

And a car.

SPEAKER_04

They didn't ask for ID or anything.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That's a bad daycare center.

SPEAKER_24

Out of character, can we pause for just a second? Black Togemon X probably would do something. So I feel like he should actually be here.

SPEAKER_36

Oh, he's asleep.

SPEAKER_24

He's still asleep. Okay, got it.

SPEAKER_36

He's asleep in the thing.

SPEAKER_27

That's fine.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, so we're operating on the assumption that Tom and Aga and I will still be alive tomorrow. Right? That's why you're trying to start the meeting.

SPEAKER_07

Oh don't worry.

SPEAKER_36

Don't worry. Lena's not gonna kill you. She'll just make you wish she did. You should really start. Did you bring uh workout clothes? You should always have a pair of workout clothes here.

SPEAKER_25

I don't know if I own any, but this is at least casual wear, so that's fine.

SPEAKER_36

Perfect.

SPEAKER_27

I don't know what a burpee is.

SPEAKER_36

And I don't think I would suggest bringing a change of clothes with you and everything.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, uh sure.

SPEAKER_36

Uh Tojiro at this point looks over a seat. Uh Tominago, what are you doing? Oh. I need you to come help me with uh a thing. Tominago, what? Yeah. Yeah, okay, Tosh. Okay.

SPEAKER_25

It's nice knowing you.

SPEAKER_36

I don't I stole a child. Stole a child is to hero. Yeah, buddy. We've all done that. It's okay. Walks him back over and pours him a drink. Flyn's mon at this point comes up to you as he. Oh, hey, you're the you're the one who draw flame my cool picture, right? I got a request for you. Uh can you draw me a new picture? It's gotta be even cooler. What I need is you to put a bunch of muscles on me. Uh maybe, and you need to make me at least three times taller. Uh maybe holding the skull of my enemy in my hand. Can you do this?

SPEAKER_27

Um not sure. It is definitely a thing to behold. She said muscles three times taller.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, you're gonna be able to get a bigger.

SPEAKER_27

Holding the skull of your enemies.

SPEAKER_36

Of my enemies, yes.

SPEAKER_27

Uh, can you describe your enemies so I know what kind of skull?

SPEAKER_36

The Digimon. They're uh usually skullless so far.

SPEAKER_25

Oh.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

But you'll just say So just a generic skull is fine? You don't need like Well, so so it was uh my enemy so far has been a goopy monster that is pink with an X on it. I don't know if that would have a skull. Uh but I need it to, so get on it.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, so specifically n uh pneumamonics or whatever.

SPEAKER_36

Sure, sure, sure, sure.

SPEAKER_27

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Um also uh can you put your Digimon underneath my feet? That's not gonna happen.

SPEAKER_32

This is bullshit! You're the worst artist in the world! I hate you!

SPEAKER_27

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hang on.

SPEAKER_36

He's good.

SPEAKER_27

He runs.

SPEAKER_36

I think he's beginning to like you.

SPEAKER_27

I mean, he put the the art or said he was gonna put the art on the fridge. I haven't been that far into the base, so I don't know if he did, but we don't have a fridge here. Plus Psychemon was in it the last time I was here.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, fridge over there. He must have taken it home and put on his fing home.

SPEAKER_18

You think he did?

SPEAKER_36

I hope not.

SPEAKER_18

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Sorry. What's your deal? You seem like real happy about that.

SPEAKER_27

Well, he just seemed so sad when he was Demi Marimon, and I didn't want him to. So I drew him a picture and I'm glad he liked it. That's it.

SPEAKER_36

At this point, Black Togemon X would crawl out of the bag as he.

SPEAKER_34

Uh What are we doing here? Is this is this the place that we were going?

SPEAKER_27

This is the place we were going.

SPEAKER_34

Okay. Well this is my this is my newer boat.

SPEAKER_36

I live in what is that? As Simon sits there as he. Oh good, you brought the dig one.

SPEAKER_21

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_36

You let a dig evolve though. That's not good.

SPEAKER_21

I was at work.

SPEAKER_36

As he pulls out a bucket and just puts it over the top of uh like Tergemon X's. Like Turgemon X just Hello? What are you- It went dark all of a sudden. What are you doing? Picks up the bucket, moves it over as he drops this thing in a cage.

SPEAKER_25

That seems kind of unnecessary.

SPEAKER_36

Why would that be unnecessary? It's a Digimon. He's been dangerous.

SPEAKER_27

Loose in my apartment all week.

SPEAKER_35

Yeah. And how much damage has he caused to your apartment?

SPEAKER_27

He ate a couple days worth of food and that's it?

SPEAKER_36

Was he Digivolved the entire time? Because at this stage they can start fighting.

SPEAKER_16

He only tried to boom burst me once. And it didn't even work.

SPEAKER_36

Nice. Well, at the very least, we'll uh it's better to put him in a cage to transport it. Give him to the commission. Otherwise, you know, it'll cause a whole bunch of issues. They'll be upset, they'll probably come out with like detasers and all that, since they're probably gonna delete them.

SPEAKER_10

Hmm.

SPEAKER_36

Good boy.

SPEAKER_27

Yay. Why are they deleting this one?

SPEAKER_36

They delete every Digimon that has a bounty. Well, that's the theory anyway. Nobody knows, but I know. I used to work for the government.

SPEAKER_14

Really?

SPEAKER_36

Secret backdoor deals, you learn certain things. And I learned that uh the good old uh what's their name?

SPEAKER_18

Ministry of Civil Protection.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, the Ministry of Civil Protection. The bounties that collected are that are collected, they destroy every trace of that Digimon from existence. It's pretty fucked up.

SPEAKER_27

But you know, so we'll hand that in and you can uh delete him and how do you just go from that's pretty fucked up to like, yeah, I'm okay with it though.

unknown

I don't know.

SPEAKER_36

What am I supposed to do about it?

SPEAKER_20

I don't know.

SPEAKER_36

Um This one's not even my bounty. I didn't collect it, you did.

SPEAKER_19

I know.

SPEAKER_36

What am I what are we supposed to do with it? I heard about a guy who like created a little freaking uh nursery for him as babies, but then he had to go feed him his e-pulse and shit. Daily.

unknown

Hmm.

SPEAKER_36

Crazy. It looks weakly.

SPEAKER_26

Black Pokemon X. What's he doing?

SPEAKER_34

I don't what's what is this? He's biting the bars. Let me out! Let me out! Let me out. I got tired all of a sudden. I'm gonna take another nap. But then you will let me out. Okay, he just snuggles up.

SPEAKER_27

I'm gonna take like the t-shirt that I had draped over him and wedge it in through the bars so he has like a little blanket.

SPEAKER_34

He looks up one eye open as he like takes it in his mouth and puts it down. You you are qu are now my favorite person. You will be my minion as I devour the world. Thank you.

SPEAKER_27

Even if you get a robot, you're still not gonna replace me.

SPEAKER_06

I don't need to replace you.

SPEAKER_27

We've made so much progress.

SPEAKER_34

Yes. I don't need to replace you because you're very easy to replace. You don't do a lot, so it's not necessary.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, well, still. Can I reach my hand in through the bars or no?

SPEAKER_36

Yeah. They're pretty far spaced.

SPEAKER_27

I'm gonna try to head it unless it looks like it doesn't want to.

SPEAKER_33

Steve lets you scratch him.

SPEAKER_27

Okay.

SPEAKER_28

Right, my tokens should be over there.

SPEAKER_36

As he falls asleep, drifts off, laying down.

SPEAKER_27

I don't know if I can do this. I don't know if I can do this, Simon.

SPEAKER_23

Do what?

SPEAKER_27

Let him die? I mean it's my portion of the bounty. If I just decide I don't want the money. Huh?

SPEAKER_36

He'd look at you. Continue. Finish that thought.

SPEAKER_27

Well. I mean, my first bounty I turned in, I only had the Digibon and not the Sapatama, so I know they do partials.

SPEAKER_10

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_27

So Dojiro could still get his share with just turning in the Sapatama.

SPEAKER_36

I You need to turn the person in with the Sapatama.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, fine, we can still hunt that person down. That that's fine.

SPEAKER_36

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_27

But I don't know, Simon. I've been living with this guy for several days.

SPEAKER_25

I I don't see what makes him any different than Wispy.

SPEAKER_36

Not a lot. Honestly. Digimon or Digimon. I get the whole cabin. I get the whole uh idea that they have. But at the same time, it feels pretty rough.

SPEAKER_27

I mean, yeah, this thing has been like sleeping on a little mound of blankets and shirts in my home. He was playing with Whisby, their friends.

SPEAKER_36

That's why they tell you not to get too attached. They say to hand them in straight away so you avoid.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah. I imagine it's harder to destroy something after you talk to it, right?

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_27

So what even are the options?

SPEAKER_07

I don't know. The options?

SPEAKER_27

Yeah, Link.

SPEAKER_36

You could hand them into the commission, get your bounty, or you could sit there and I don't know. You could you could start an orphanage, feed it your e-pulse every day.

SPEAKER_27

Oh, I mean. The crazy uh guy. Um the one who might be named Juba or something. Told me I needed to register as a cleaner so they wouldn't hunt Wispy. Are people just gonna keep hunting Black Togemon Axe? He doesn't have a partner or something.

SPEAKER_36

Well, if he doesn't have a partner, he's not registered. So, in a sense, yeah. That's a wanted Digimon.

SPEAKER_27

Well, they know for sure that he exists still. I mean, what if what if we deleted him in the fight?

SPEAKER_36

Ah, we can't delete Digimon because we don't have that ability.

SPEAKER_27

Fine. So

SPEAKER_36

Well, I mean you could state that you essentially you can state you deleted them. Yeah, you could. But the problem was uh the biggest problem is the factor of you can go on, say you deleted them, and that's fine. But if he's ever found out, uh uh the ministry would come down on the people that assisted it. You'd essentially become you'd aiding and abetting, essentially.

SPEAKER_27

Would that just hit me or would that hit you guys? Like if you kicked me out of the team and said, Oh no, we didn't know she was crazy.

SPEAKER_36

Anyone that helped. Anyone involved would get it.

SPEAKER_26

So they would assume you were?

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, probably. The Ministry of Civil Protection doesn't fuck around. They'll probably send people to uh use us to collect you and anything that happened there, yeah.

SPEAKER_27

So I have to pick between a team that I've only known for what one day longer than that. Oh. So I don't want to take all of you guys down with me if I'm gonna do something stupid. You don't know who has the nursery, do you?

SPEAKER_36

Nah.

SPEAKER_27

So it's just whispers that there is one. We don't know who.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, it's just whispers. I've never really heard it.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Honestly, any situations there where you present them with the idea of you give them the sapatama, they'll know that the Digimon's not deleted, probably. They'd delete the Sapatama device so that Digimon wouldn't even have a partner anyway. Their partner would be gone forever. So it's a rough life.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_36

It'd be a rough time. The only alternative is you could like take it as a partner, but that's also hard.

SPEAKER_27

That's right. I need 17 Digimon partners, I'm just so scared.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_27

So wait. I'm not saying I'm going to. I did think it was ridiculous, but if I was going to take it as a partner, do I need its saputama? Could it get linked to a different one?

SPEAKER_36

Well, if they delete the data off its sapotama, you could link it up to your sapama pretty easy.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Once its data's taken off of certain things, there's ways to get it. So it's easy for ya.

SPEAKER_26

Remember the blind guy who was here who was really excited about getting a digit one? Huh?

SPEAKER_36

Nope. I stay out of people's business.

SPEAKER_20

You stay out of people's business, and yet you had to ask me about my dating life. I don't know that you do.

SPEAKER_36

I just asked. I thought it would be nice to ask. I don't know. I asked, I didn't care. That's the difference.

SPEAKER_24

I'm not asking you to care. I'm just asking if you remember.

SPEAKER_36

Is he your boyfriend? I don't know. That you said you didn't have a boyfriend.

SPEAKER_21

I don't.

SPEAKER_27

But that guy was heartbroken that he didn't get a Digimon. And there's a Digimon. She kind of like gestures at the cage.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, totally doable.

SPEAKER_15

Was it?

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, if he's uh if he's not got a Digimon already, you could essentially have the Digimon infect his thing. And there, boom. His motion Sapatama link. All that.

SPEAKER_26

But we have to wait until after Tojiro turns into Sabatama.

SPEAKER_36

Sort of, it also has to be a thing of like. They have to bond with you because they're your partners. You can't just take any old Digimon. Most won't actively bond.

SPEAKER_31

She stops and turns to look at whispers.

SPEAKER_27

I mean what does it normally take for one of them to bond to you?

SPEAKER_36

Uh connection is a big one. Deep connection. Uh some form of like usually Digimon that are our partners have something something to do with us a lot of the time. So it really helps them like linked with us. And when they do Codamon over there is uh a little swordsman. He's he's training, he's doing all the things. Lena's uh a great partner for him. As Lena leaves, by the way, with the baby.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Walks outside. Uh Lena's a good partner for him because Lena just loves to work out. Lena wants to be the strongest. And Codamon, he wants to train. Plush Psychomon is a difference for me. Because I didn't have a childhood. My childhood was ripped right the fuck away from me. So plush Psychomon sort of is that connection to a past that I never really got.

SPEAKER_10

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_36

He's the piece of me that's missing.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Or then you have things like Tojiro and Flameliz. They're so like each other. They both just wanna fight. Both wanna get into the mix and beat the shit out of things. And they're both kinda dumb. So they just fit together perfectly. Hell, even Tomanaga and Aurelio. Tominaga does not speak for himself. He can't speak up. He it's a pushover. Aurelio's that piece that he's missing. The thing that he wants to be. So it's Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_36

Everyone has a piece that connects them to their Digimon. I'm sure you and Wispmon over there probably have a piece that connects you to each other. Either that or someone found out a way to transfer Digimon in. Yeah, I know he's not yours, but at the same time, he is.

SPEAKER_27

Well, I'm just saying, like, we had to build that. We didn't start with it, so I'm just surprised that.

SPEAKER_36

It is a bit odd.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah. I mean, I don't know how many hours I was passed out for, but the bulk of the time that we knew each other before he decided to come with me, I was unconscious, so.

SPEAKER_36

Um interesting.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_36

Then in some way, whoever transferred him had some way to change the system. Because that's not normal.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_20

Um can we?

SPEAKER_27

Okay, well, I guess I should start with this. So since uh Tojiro and I were the ones who beat the new Momon X, and this is my half of the bounty, does that mean I get to choose what happens to him? Doesn't just belong to the team, like I'm not really.

SPEAKER_36

I'm not really involved here. This is you did your thing. You got this. Okay, so I didn't- You wanna deal with it. You and Tojiro were the ones that dealt with it, so maybe go talk to him about it.

SPEAKER_26

I don't know what good him yelling at me is gonna do.

unknown

Great.

SPEAKER_36

He it's not about half, though. We're a team, you you might have taken down the new mon X and all of that, but and most of us don't care. Like, I couldn't care.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

But the pure fact of if you make a decision on your own and don't include anyone else, well, probably won't be long before you uh fucking running out of here, same as Albers.

SPEAKER_18

We're not gonna say her name.

SPEAKER_07

Yep.

SPEAKER_18

Is that what she did? She made a choice on her own without involving other people.

SPEAKER_36

She made a lot of choices.

SPEAKER_18

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

She decided she was the leader and thus she got to make all the choices. We were to begin with. We thought we were a group.

SPEAKER_10

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_36

But if you're not willing to talk to the group, then that's a problem.

SPEAKER_20

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

It's not a problem. It's just uh end result.

SPEAKER_25

Not talking with the group is a problem.

SPEAKER_36

It is.

SPEAKER_25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_36

But it's not a problem.

SPEAKER_31

It's uh it is. But it's in the end.

SPEAKER_36

It's it's a problem for us.

SPEAKER_24

Right.

SPEAKER_36

Which means that we would have to reconsider what's going on here.

SPEAKER_24

I know.

SPEAKER_36

For you, it's not a problem at all.

SPEAKER_26

No, that's not.

SPEAKER_36

You could do it and just be whatever.

SPEAKER_27

Things become my problem really quickly. But that's not important. Thank you for this talk.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, you seem to take things as your problem. But that's not my problem.

SPEAKER_27

It's not. I'll try. I still don't think it's gonna go well, but you're right. At least the two of us should probably agree about whatever's happening, so.

SPEAKER_26

I'll try.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, the rest of us don't care.

SPEAKER_10

Okay. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_36

Tominaga and Tojiro are talking. He's just hand on Tominaga's back as Tominaga drinks. Uh little apple teeny. He turns around as he was up.

SPEAKER_27

Um thinks it would be good if we talked about what we're doing with the bounty and stuff.

SPEAKER_36

I was thinking of buying a TV. Not exactly that part. Okay, fine. I'll pay rent.

SPEAKER_03

Fucking why are you all on me about rent? Fuck!

SPEAKER_24

You can buy a TV! You can do whatever you want. I just meant you don't have to answer to me for how you're spending it!

SPEAKER_02

Then why did you ask?

SPEAKER_27

I d I kind of don't want to turn Black Togemon X over to the authorities.

SPEAKER_28

She makes this like really awkward smile because she's expecting to be yelled at it.

SPEAKER_36

What's wrong with your face? Yeah, what what happened to your face? It looks like somebody punched it. Yeah, you're right. It's all squinting. Why are you squinting? Is this a tactic? Are you trying to steal my soul? Quick, protect your soul, OJRO!

SPEAKER_03

Protect it!

SPEAKER_36

Puts his hands in front of his chest.

SPEAKER_27

I strongly doubt I could steal anything from you.

SPEAKER_36

That's right. I'm too fast. I would see you trying to steal it and I'd knock you up. Yeah. And I would also do that. Yeah, I know you would, Flame Wizmon. You're so cool. I know.

SPEAKER_07

Um yeah, what sorry, what so I'm confused. What's the problem here? What's going on?

SPEAKER_27

Simon just doesn't think I should um decide to shelter a rogue Digimon and wait for the Sapatama to be deleted and then get him transferred to a Digimon.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, you probably shouldn't.

SPEAKER_27

Without talking first.

SPEAKER_36

Oh! Okay. He's sitting there. Are you gonna talk about it? What what's the deal?

SPEAKER_16

What Um.

SPEAKER_19

I just I don't really wanna see the little guy get deleted.

SPEAKER_27

And I d you don't need to say you don't see it, they do it in the back room, blah blah blah. I already dropped off one to be destroyed. Apparently I know that.

SPEAKER_36

I wasn't gonna say that. You you don't you're not in my head.

SPEAKER_19

What were you gonna say?

SPEAKER_36

Something else that was completely different to that.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_31

This is me laughing. She's not laughing right now.

SPEAKER_36

I know. Um gonna say something insightful and like interesting. Uh, but now I'm not going to because you decided that you know what I'm gonna say before I say it. So what am I gonna say next? You suck, go fuck yourself. Nah, I was gonna say poop cannon. Didn't get that, did you? You Yeah, you gotta, Tojiro! You gotta. Yeah, he high-fives my wisdom.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

Um Right, anyway. It is I kind of uh I kind of like this Digimon because he's been at my house for the last few years.

SPEAKER_36

He likes so much go marry it! No, no, no, Flame Wismon, no, no, we're not. You no, calm down. We're not insulted. That wasn't the moment to insult. Oh my bad, my bad. I I continue. Sorry.

SPEAKER_27

Okay. Flame Wismon is not interested in people like that, is he? Is this just an insult he nose?

SPEAKER_36

Just an insult he knows.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, okay.

unknown

Cool.

SPEAKER_27

Um. Anyway. Right, he and Wispy were friends. Um when he was in the in-training form, it was kind of like having like a cat. I mean a slime cat. Oh, and I have a friend who really, really, really, really wants a Digimon. And I'd kinda like them to at least like meet and see if they get along. If they don't, then I guess I have to.

SPEAKER_36

You do realize that you have to feed Digimon that are outside this e-pulse regularly. Well Which if you if you let them drain you too much, you end up with cold heart.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah, I know. I almost had cold heart five days ago, thanks. Um.

SPEAKER_07

There you go. Cool.

SPEAKER_27

It sucks. I don't recommend it. But if Simon said if the sapotama gets white, then it's possible to like link a Digimon with a different Saapatama, in which case he could just eat out of that guy's sapotama, right? Instead of actually needing to bite him. Why am I asking you? This is literally what happened with me and Wispy. The answer is yes.

SPEAKER_36

Um, look at this one. She's so smart, she knows everything. She thinks she's got no no flame. No.

unknown

Ah, God.

SPEAKER_36

I don't know when to jump in. I gotta work it out. I gotta work it out. I'm gonna work it out.

SPEAKER_19

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

You got it, you got it.

SPEAKER_19

I'll help you. Just a little, okay?

SPEAKER_36

I'll help you, Mom. Yeah, that was it. That was it. Good job. I did it.

SPEAKER_15

Okay, alright, just one one thing.

unknown

Take it.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, what?

SPEAKER_27

Yeah. Uh, with intelligence stuff, just don't ever bother calling me smart. Cause Tojiro and I both know that he's the smart one.

SPEAKER_16

So, like, that one's never gonna land. It just won't.

SPEAKER_07

He looks at Tojiro, as Tojiro looks at you as he, fuck you, you're the nerd.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, nerd.

SPEAKER_37

Got it.

SPEAKER_24

Okay, well. I tried.

SPEAKER_07

As Tojiro just Okay, I'm I'm confused at what's going on.

SPEAKER_36

So you want to introduce him to a dude.

SPEAKER_21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_36

And try and put him on his dig vice, okay?

SPEAKER_21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_27

Um, because if they get along, then this guy's gonna be like, so happy you have no idea. And then I don't have to like never see Black Togemon X again, because he would be partnered with one of my friends. But this is just a short-term solution because literally the next time we go on any kind of job, we have this problem again.

SPEAKER_26

And I'm aware of that.

SPEAKER_36

Suppose you would drink and hands it to you. You need to chill.

SPEAKER_26

Push it away a little bit.

SPEAKER_36

Whatever, man. He picks it up and drinks it. It ain't a problem. Just fucking do that then. Introduce him to your friend. Otherwise, you can just, I don't know. He can come stay with me. I don't give a fuck. Alright. Take piss. He walks off. After a few moments, he eventually comes out. Let's see. Just washing his hands off and see. Oh, alright. You wanna play some pool Tommy? Come on, play some pool Tommy. See? Okay. Okay, I'm almost over stealing a child. I guess I can play pool. He just does not seem bothered at all. He thinks your conversation's done.

SPEAKER_14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_36

What's your problem? You look You look like you're like out of it.

SPEAKER_27

Uh well. Before whatever Tom and you're not done?

SPEAKER_36

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

Um before Tom and Naga's adventure, I was uh going to quit the team so that you could be happy.

SPEAKER_36

Why the fuck would that make me happy?

SPEAKER_27

Because you hate me and I'm the worst and all of that, and you're not even wrong.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

Like you would be better off with literally anybody else, and you finally have a place where you belong, and people who like you, and if you are miserable every time I am here, then I just shouldn't be here.

SPEAKER_36

I ain't miserable.

SPEAKER_22

I don't believe you.

SPEAKER_07

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

You don't have you don't have that much bearing on my life. You can't. I'm gonna be happy as fuck now. Watch! I'm gonna smile. It's really weird smile. See? I'm fucking happy.

SPEAKER_15

You don't have to force it, it's okay.

SPEAKER_01

You don't have to force it. I am happy. You're you're sad. You're you're a sad lonely person who lives in a weird apartment.

SPEAKER_16

I have never told you where I live.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know where you live in. I know! I'm presuming it's a weird little apartment. I bet you have books and things in there and like a computer. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

I bet you have fucking plants.

SPEAKER_37

Cause you're sad and you need plants because you don't have people.

SPEAKER_27

Um, okay, pause. What's the equivalent of a wisdom saving throw?

SPEAKER_37

Give me a grip check.

SPEAKER_17

Dang it!

SPEAKER_02

You don't break down crying.

SPEAKER_28

Well, she doesn't sprint away, because that was bad.

SPEAKER_36

That was brutal. See. Yeah, yeah, I'm happy. You're you're not happy. Fucking If you don't get to quit, I'll quit. As Tomanaka just, please do not quit, Tojiro. I'm not gonna quit. I I I wouldn't quit. Don't worry, buddy. I would I wouldn't I wouldn't leave you in the lunch. It's okay.

SPEAKER_32

I got you. I got you. You!

SPEAKER_36

You see I'm not I'm not miserable. I'm happy. I'm happy to sit here and tell you to fuck yourself.

SPEAKER_27

I don't want to sit and whisper to that forever.

SPEAKER_15

I have had enough of that already.

SPEAKER_07

Well, come fing. I'm sorry for being me.

SPEAKER_36

You walk over his tominag and just okay guys. Lots of being said today.

SPEAKER_27

I told you I shouldn't bother.

SPEAKER_23

No, don't don't be like that.

SPEAKER_27

I'm sorry for being me too. I'm sorry I don't have friends. I'm sorry that I suck in general at basically everything. I can't fix that. I have tried it doesn't work, okay?

SPEAKER_07

Uh but you duh. Yeah. Uh what's happening here? What's happen Tommy? Tommy, I don't have any comebacks. What do I do?

SPEAKER_18

Just forget it.

SPEAKER_07

I don't know.

SPEAKER_32

Fucking what's your problem? What's your deal?

SPEAKER_05

Show up and start shit with me.

SPEAKER_37

Start talking about uh past.

SPEAKER_05

You don't fucking know me.

SPEAKER_36

You were a part of the cool people that got to sit there and go through school without any problems. You didn't have to work, you didn't have to do shit. Your parents were rich.

SPEAKER_32

You're probably getting into the uh fucking egg yourself. You fuck you! I worked! I worked hard.

SPEAKER_19

I honestly thought you were smart enough you didn't have to.

SPEAKER_36

Fucking you and your shit. I'm uh I had to work extremely hard. I'm uh I'm not smart, I'm dedicated. I did everything. I put everything to shit.

SPEAKER_27

You really are just better than me then. My father has invested thousands of dollars in trying to make me less stupid than I am instead of accepting that he's already seen my maximum potential and I will never be as good as my brother. I didn't have friends, I couldn't hang out with people because I had to go to craom school after school every day, four hours. Anytime there was a clash trip or something, my father said, Hey, if you have time to be thinking about that, why not instead work on algebra? It is statistically a better investment in your future. Don't get emotional again, Shelby. This is part of what's holding you back. And I tried. And I still sucked.

SPEAKER_36

Real angry. My uh my mom used to uh used to punch me when I got home if I got anything below a B. She used to uh they put cigarettes out on me anytime I wasn't studying. Don't you talk to me about cram school? Cry crampod.

SPEAKER_26

Do you go beat up your parents?

SPEAKER_32

You want me to go beat up yours? Sure. Okay, give me the fucking cramp. He's going.

SPEAKER_24

He doesn't know where he's going, so he's not going anywhere.

SPEAKER_36

No. No, it's very confusing. Stop out.

SPEAKER_13

I guess I will follow him. Is he outside or is he just stomping?

SPEAKER_03

No. He like stops at the end of the day. Where am I going? You need to give me an address. I do.

SPEAKER_27

I don't actually want you to beat up my parents.

SPEAKER_36

Um can't beat up mine, they're dead.

SPEAKER_27

Oh.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_27

I'm either sorry or happy for you, but I I guess I'm happy for you.

SPEAKER_36

Fucked up, man. Don't be don't be happy someone's parents are dead.

SPEAKER_27

Are you sad they're going to be?

SPEAKER_36

No, but I'm allowed that.

SPEAKER_26

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

I'm allowed that person. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_22

Um fine, whatever.

SPEAKER_26

I didn't want to say any of this stuff for the record.

SPEAKER_36

I didn't want to say any of this stuff either. You asked I didn't want to say it more.

SPEAKER_27

Fine, whatever. You asked who my deal was. And I have been really confused about what's going with you since Tom and Aga told me about nothing.

SPEAKER_36

What did Tom what did Tom and tell you about? He looks at Tomanaga. The f Tommy, what did you fucking tell her about? Is he no no no like not no you nothing?

SPEAKER_03

God, what are you doing? What are you doing?

SPEAKER_26

Setting with remains of my life on fire? What are you doing?

SPEAKER_36

What did he what did he tell you? I bet it it's probably all false. It's probably all Tommy just making shit up. It's we didn't.

SPEAKER_26

Instead of answering that, I'm just gonna balance it out.

SPEAKER_07

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

I wanted to talk to you within the first few months of high school. I turned in a half-house thing for the first contest. And for the first time since starting middle school, I actually didn't win. And I came to see why. And it took me five minutes staring at your art to understand why there was competition. Half an hour to agree that you should have beaten me. And an hour to actually want to know who this person was. Like I said, I was a coward. I used to have panic attacks, talking with too many people, or or arguing with people. I'm kind of impressed I haven't had one yet tonight. Um you're right, you're right, you have said so many times. I don't know you, and I don't. Staring at the stuff you turned in isn't the same as knowing. Being too scared of people picking on me to actually talk to you isn't the same as knowing. And you recognized me in the park, and I was happy because I thought maybe I get a second chance, you know. And then it's just you yelling at me, and I thought, okay, it's fine. You know, he just thinks I'm one of the bullies, and he's angry, and I just need to wait it out and be nice, and I'll win him over. But then Tomanaga said that you thought I was nice and cool and didn't notice you. You could never say that, and so then if you knew that I wasn't one of them, then why?

SPEAKER_36

Maybe I can't regulate my emotions. Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm maybe I'm just an angry person and I don't feel like people should fucking like me.

SPEAKER_19

Why not?

SPEAKER_36

Well the well that's deep, man. Maybe because I've done shit you don't fucking do. I'm I'm here.

SPEAKER_13

Doesn't matter. No one else in the world exists right now.

SPEAKER_07

Damn.

SPEAKER_36

Like what fuck you, that's what Alice.

SPEAKER_28

Huh? Rule crit?

SPEAKER_36

Rogrit.

SPEAKER_28

But I'm like, that is not something you've done. We both know that. Twelve?

SPEAKER_36

Twelve?

SPEAKER_27

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_36

There's a bit of fear in his eyes right now.

SPEAKER_27

Do I get any tokens or no? Is that actually a pass?

SPEAKER_36

Uh no, that was a success. It was a success.

SPEAKER_27

Since I just rolled grit. Keeping in mind it's a 12. If I try to hug him, do I think he's gonna attack me?

SPEAKER_36

Probably not.

SPEAKER_27

I'll try to hug him.

SPEAKER_36

You try to hug him as he sits there, goes real tense. Uh let's see. Uh you you know. Um, fuck um. It's just looking around. Uh he lets you hug him though. Does not pull away. After a few moments, he still tense. Still tense, but waiting for you to break apart. He does not tell you to stop. Uh he just waits.

SPEAKER_26

If you do actually get to the point where you want me to leave, please just say so, okay.

SPEAKER_06

I want you to leave.

SPEAKER_27

Why not?

SPEAKER_07

You're right, you're cool. I don't know.

SPEAKER_36

I don't actively hate you.

SPEAKER_27

That's something.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_27

Do you think we actually ever could be friends? Or am I just being stupid? I can't.

SPEAKER_24

Try a lot.

SPEAKER_27

I know.

SPEAKER_24

I hate myself, so I would understand why you did.

SPEAKER_07

Fuck you. You're not allowed to hate yourself, you're okay?

SPEAKER_36

It's just you're not allowed to hate yourself, that's not cool. No one's allowed to hate my friends. It's just hard because Yeah, no one's allowed to hate no one's allowed to hate Kojuro's friends, or else we beat him up. So stop hating yourself, or we're gonna beat you up.

SPEAKER_26

That seems like it's a little um complicated.

SPEAKER_03

You wanna You wanna try me? I'm playing Wispon. I can fuck everybody up.

SPEAKER_27

I'm sure you can, but then I will never make that art of you holding the skull of your enemies.

SPEAKER_36

With Wispon under my feet.

SPEAKER_27

That's too far. I can't.

SPEAKER_36

Jojiro, can you make that happen? Yeah, I can add an art. It's fine.

SPEAKER_31

Alright.

SPEAKER_15

Monster. I'll let go.

SPEAKER_07

Alright. Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Just stands there. Lena, that's so sweet.

SPEAKER_13

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_36

Get on the f ground.

SPEAKER_32

She will simply slam the button. You still owe me 50 perfect. You too.

SPEAKER_31

So hard.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, beautiful. What a time.

SPEAKER_31

What an excellent transition. Okay, can I roll something just so I know how hard they are? Like the answer is bad.

SPEAKER_33

Yeah. Yeah, roll me. Ron.

SPEAKER_28

Because I feel like it's a strength endurance thing. I know what bumpies are. She doesn't. Yeah. Two. Okay. It's bad.

SPEAKER_36

It's bad. Hours. Hours. I'll just quickly roll for uh for getting how uh Tomanaga does. Uh he he has a low born as well. He has a six. Uh pretty pretty bad. Both of you are there soaked in sweat for hours. Lena literally is like, you try to get up, she sits on top of you.

SPEAKER_02

You try to run, she hunts you down.

SPEAKER_27

Well, you do have to stand up for burpees because you like are at a standing position and then you drop and then you jump back up.

SPEAKER_18

So she can't sit on you.

SPEAKER_36

I mean, somewhat. Because if you don't do the burpee right, she makes you do a push-up. If you don't do the push-up right, she makes you do a sit-up. Uh, if you don't do the sit-up right, and once you complete the one that you missed, she makes you do the one that it's a it's an ordeal for you.

SPEAKER_22

Yeah. Yeah. That's funny.

SPEAKER_36

Uh about three hours pass with this 50 burpees.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, well, we're done.

SPEAKER_36

But at the end of it, you finally are laying there. Yeah, I was gonna say smoking, looks at you, she. You still owe me 20.

SPEAKER_32

She walks away.

SPEAKER_36

I'll collect later. She goes and starts lifting. As Simon, who has just been sitting there watching this with plush uh psychemon, just well, uh, that went about how I expected it. I mean, I've got to roll for a Leomon and Wispmon as well, because they do not get off the punishment.

SPEAKER_27

Oh! I can roll for Wispy. What do you need?

SPEAKER_36

Yeah. Uh bro uh Wispy has to.

SPEAKER_03

He doesn't have to give me a brawn check. He just needs to give me a charm.

SPEAKER_27

Okay. 11. Oddly enough, Wispy's the best at this out of the group.

SPEAKER_36

Uh low bar! Cause he he literally can't do it. However, uh straight up, Lena has just been giving him praise the whole time as he uh as she goes back, she not you, Wispy. You did excellent. Good job. You're almost as good as Push Psyche. Walks over and gets back on the team.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

I was just gonna say, I can't feel my arts.

SPEAKER_03

Uh as he did a little better than you, he's there. I can feel my arms. But I think my chest might have exploded an hour ago.

SPEAKER_27

Thank god, I'll look. I flopped my head over. No, there's not blood everywhere. I think your chest is still good.

SPEAKER_12

Oh thank god. Thank god, I'm so glad.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12

I was really worried about that.

SPEAKER_31

I don't think we should hang out. I feel like it just it brings destruction.

SPEAKER_12

I think we should definitely avoid crashing cars and fucking cleaner ever again.

SPEAKER_31

Stealing children.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, please. Let's let's not steal children again. That's why I put it back. I was the responsible one. You left it on the sidewalk, Aurelio Mom.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12

Yes, that's where it belonged.

SPEAKER_27

That's not that's not. Not a good place for small humans.

SPEAKER_12

Someone would have found it.

SPEAKER_27

Yes, but it could be a bad person.

SPEAKER_12

Worse than us? Yes. I don't think so.

SPEAKER_17

There are people worse than us.

SPEAKER_33

Simon said there's he.

SPEAKER_36

So you're all ready for the meeting now or?

SPEAKER_17

What time is it?

SPEAKER_36

Probably about coming into like late night, probably like seven or eight o'clock.

SPEAKER_17

Am I allowed to attend for this spot on the floor because I feel very attached to it.

SPEAKER_36

As Lena walks over, she get up and move, or else you uh or else the lactic acid in your legs will give up. I would love to cut them off.

SPEAKER_15

So get up and move. I just don't think I can.

SPEAKER_36

Walks over and picks you up.

SPEAKER_24

Thank you.

SPEAKER_36

And then moving you like a puppet walks you over and sits you in a chair.

SPEAKER_28

Flash Psychimon doesn't get a chair.

SPEAKER_36

The Digimon stand. And so does Tojiro.

SPEAKER_26

Is he leading this meeting or something?

SPEAKER_36

No, actually, that's a good point. Simon would stand up.

SPEAKER_18

Perfect.

SPEAKER_36

Alright. Well, first meeting of the uh of the current year. Uh I would like to welcome our new members, uh, Wisdom and Chelby. Welcome. We we have all met her. We all know who she is, Simon. I'm going through the steps. Don't start me, Tokyo. Miss Lena, I appreciated it. Thank you, Lena. Alright. Uh we were we were gonna talk about this Digimon over here. But it seems like Shelby's decided she's keeping that Digimon, so. Oh to avoid deletion. You don't even know that deletion is what happens. I know I worked for those motherfuckers. I know exactly what happens in those backgrounds. You worked insanitation for three weeks, Simon.

SPEAKER_20

Oh.

SPEAKER_36

You cannot hold down a job. Yeah, but that's not my fault, that's because the man tries to tell me what to do. But I saw it. I saw all of it. I know what happens. Tominaga just I there's not any proof anywhere, Simon. Like there's you'd think something like that would be up on the internet. They're hiding it! You're all shape! You're all shape if you think the pitchamona's life.

SPEAKER_19

Because if they're like, hey, be a cleaner, we'll murder all the cute animals you find. Nobody would want to do it.

SPEAKER_32

Points to you.

SPEAKER_36

They get it.

SPEAKER_19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_36

They understand. They just sigh. They've heard this conspiracy theory a million times, probably. And to them it probably is a conspiracy theory. Every cleaner delete uh sends their Digimon to the Ministry of Civil.

SPEAKER_16

Sure. But Wispy really didn't like that place. I don't know why we've not been able to talk about it.

SPEAKER_28

But Wispy really did not like that place.

SPEAKER_27

And so I'm willing to trust Wispy vibes. And also, let's be honest, Simon is not the craziest conspiracy theorist Shelby has met this week. No. This sounds reasonable.

SPEAKER_34

It's pretty it's pretty close.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_34

It's got some leverage on it. Uh but yeah. He sits there's a lot of things.

SPEAKER_27

If they were distributing them, there'd be some sort of like teamer recruitment program.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah. Which is exactly right.

SPEAKER_14

Maybe I'm delusional, but I feel like that's his name.

SPEAKER_36

As he sits there as he That's exactly right, Shelby. Now, since she's keeping Tokemon X, uh, we need to decide what the next step is for this bounty. Are we gonna track down this Sapatama? Cause Numamon X was worth a bit of money. Uh specifically. Ortified. Oh. I believe it was eight thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_29

For the whole thing or just for him?

SPEAKER_36

Uh the whole thing. Just for him, unfortunately. Oh, for uh, for the whole thing.

SPEAKER_21

Okay, okay, okay. I was like if that was crazy.

SPEAKER_36

We're talking four thousand.

SPEAKER_21

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Still a decent chunk that can keep us uh not funded. Four thousand. Uh calculated uh four thousand divided by six due to the JS $666 each.

SPEAKER_21

You don't need to include minus okay.

SPEAKER_36

You're part of the team, Shelby. You don't get to miss out on the payday.

SPEAKER_21

I'm costing the team four thousand credits.

SPEAKER_36

Oh you're not. Yeah. Oh. As they all just look at you as Lena just does that she. If we wanted to hand in the Digimon, we would hand in the Digimon. You're part of the team. This is a team decision. You don't get left out of team money, so shut uh shut the hell up and take your goddamn money. Right, thank you, Lena. Uh currently as well, I should make a note that with uh the departure of a previous team leader, uh moving forward, uh Lena has currently taken on the role of team leader. Uh is everyone okay with that? Uh anyone opposed, say nay. Everyone who's okay with it, say aye.

SPEAKER_15

Aye.

SPEAKER_36

Aye. Uh Tom Naga just uh I. So Jira just I I don't care. Lena says she nay, but I can't really oh doesn't one against four, so it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_21

Wait, you don't want this? Correct.

SPEAKER_36

None of us really want it. We're not really the leader tops. She yeah. Not really into that.

SPEAKER_29

What does the leader do? Sorry.

SPEAKER_36

Uh well the leader mainly deals with the Ministry of Civil Protection. They have to go through the resources, talk to the channels, all that sort of stuff.

SPEAKER_25

So it's a diplomatic thing?

SPEAKER_36

Sort of, yeah.

SPEAKER_25

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

They're also the people that they'll contact about things and do stuff. It's a lot more uh it's a bit more work. As we said, not none of us are really that uh interested in that position.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_36

Unless you would like to be Shelby.

SPEAKER_27

Can you imagine? Halfway through a song. Oh sorry, gotta go, guys, I'm getting cold.

SPEAKER_11

I mean, yeah, it's probably about time.

SPEAKER_36

Alright. Uh well. The next the next step then is tracking down the person who was Numon X's current partner. We could just hand in the subtama, but without information. Oh, and without the criminal that uh made them, we have more of an issue. Uh he puts the subtama into a little uh into the little dock that he has, as it brings up a picture of a man uh very average-looking build, very interesting dude. As he uh one second This this fucking guy is our uh our white whale at the moment.

SPEAKER_25

That's a nice literature reference.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, you know. Who doesn't love Moby Dick? Uh this is Sleeker. He's bit of a reclusive dude. Said to be uh It's said that he hangs out in the red light district more than anything. Uh from what we can tell, he was Numano X's uh partner. Meaning we have to make sure that Numamon uh the Tokamon X here is secured in case he comes looking. However, from my from a bit of the stuff that I've been running into and some calls I made to check things, apparently Numamon X might not be the only Digimon he surrounds himself. Apparently he created a whole pneumamon gang. Which would explain the amount of pneumon that at your area, Tojo.

SPEAKER_29

I have a question. Sorry.

SPEAKER_36

Go for it.

SPEAKER_27

Well, I have a couple. Um so uh that Digimon has been a little slime in my apartment all week, and now it has turned into a fluffy thing. Uh I kind of expected that it would be a pneumamon when it evolved. Since I fought the little Numamons and then there was the big one, so I thought it would just be a slime right now.

SPEAKER_36

So Numamon is uh champion level Digimon. This is a rookie.

SPEAKER_27

Numumon is a champion or Numamon X is a champion? Because I thought Numamon X was the champion.

SPEAKER_36

No, they're both champions.

SPEAKER_27

Really?

SPEAKER_36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_27

Okay. Okay. Cool. This is still gonna turn back into a slum?

SPEAKER_36

Possibly. Um there's a chance that it might change. Especially if it was if you go about the thing of uh we do what we do, they delete the data from the sapotama and he switches to someone else. So maybe that personality would change what comes from Black Pokemon.

SPEAKER_25

I mean, I feel like at this rate we kind of have to have them meet each other before we take the sapatama in, right?

SPEAKER_27

Because if they don't get along, I don't really have a plan B.

SPEAKER_21

And I'm not living with the plan. Huh?

SPEAKER_36

So your plan is if they don't connect, you just give them up.

SPEAKER_21

I don't wanna live with the slime poop monster.

SPEAKER_27

I don't I don't know. Maybe that makes me bad, but I don't know how I'm supposed to keep him from dish evolving further. I don't know. I can tell you. Um okay, we'll just go sideways to a different question. Um, there's a black pneumamon who runs a gun store in the same location that we fought the other pneumamon in. Do you think he knows Sleeker?

SPEAKER_36

Maybe. That might actually be a good lead to track down.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_27

Can't wait to talk to that guy.

SPEAKER_36

Actually, thinking about it, Tokemon's not even a rookie. Togemon is a baby. He's baby too. Oh.

SPEAKER_34

Yeah. Watch second level bag.

SPEAKER_27

I thought he Aiden. Okay. Wow. Alright, well, I wasn't really at work when he I mean I wasn't at home when he did you bolt. Sorry, I'm distracted because I'm gonna have to talk to the the mafia of new memories. Alright, let's find. Um. Last question, and then I swear I'll shut up and let the meeting go. So um I got attacked by an Orgremon at school, and I only had the in-training form to take in. Um, and they asked about the Sapatama and the person and stuff, and I had no idea what they're talking about. So, my question is, do you did somebody stick that thing on me at work? Cause I need this if somebody's trying to kill me, it would probably be good to have some level of awareness.

SPEAKER_36

So Digimon manifests from subtamas. Yeah. Uh there is some occurrences where Digimon are rogue Digimon. So they manifest from subtamas that don't belong to people.

SPEAKER_26

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

It attacking you would probably mean that there was a reason to attack you. Wait. Usually they would maybe they would either be sent by someone or they were there for something. I don't know.

SPEAKER_25

Whisby.

SPEAKER_36

Whisby.

SPEAKER_27

Okay. I know we tried to have this conversation multiple times. Do you think it showed up because um Isobe Sapatama smelled like us?

SPEAKER_36

He nods.

SPEAKER_27

Okay, cool. Alright, so no okay, cool. Okay, I don't have an enemy. Exactly. That's fine. Never mind, continue.

SPEAKER_36

Congratulations.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah, yeah, it's uh small victories, you know. When you almost die, pretty much everything else that week is just better.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Well, the biggest issue that we're coming against is uh our friend Sleeker might be a part of a small group that are sort of Digimon smugglers. Sleeker's surrounding himself with Numamon that aren't his pneumon, but they're his bodyguards. However, we're not real worried about Sleeker. We're worried about the other three in his crew. I don't have pictures of them, but most of them just like Sleeker, even when you get a picture of him masked.

SPEAKER_22

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Each one of them has some sort of Digimon. I think at least one or two of them have a champion level. But that's not gonna bring us down, is it?

SPEAKER_22

No.

SPEAKER_36

That's yeah, that's good. Very good. Everyone else was very quiet.

SPEAKER_27

I mean, I've only fought champion Digimon so far, so perfect.

SPEAKER_36

Uh what what Digimon have you fought so far?

SPEAKER_27

I mean just the Ogre Mon and the Nummon X, but Okay.

SPEAKER_36

Still confused.

SPEAKER_27

What? Okay, well you fought the Goblin Mon with Polio. I wasn't exactly helping in that fight.

SPEAKER_00

We're counting that Goblin Monster. Goblin Monster was rookie.

SPEAKER_27

We're counting that. Oh, sorry, Whispy has also fought a rookie without my help because I was on the ground almost having cold heart syndrome and dying at the time. But he did great.

SPEAKER_36

I'm so I'm happy for you, I guess. I don't know what to think of it.

SPEAKER_32

That's great. Cool.

SPEAKER_05

So moving on.

SPEAKER_36

We will go about moving forward. We're gonna go try and uh take care of this situation. Any oh, we might have to break into teams. Two and two. And two.

SPEAKER_24

Two and two and two. What?

SPEAKER_36

Well, two and two, and then oh, not two. Right.

SPEAKER_29

Two and three?

SPEAKER_36

It's only five of them. No, two and two and two, and uh we'll have a man inside the there. Which I'll drum roll, please.

SPEAKER_28

You can't hear me, but I am jumping on the table.

SPEAKER_36

It'll probably be Tom and I. See, I do not do field work well.

SPEAKER_27

That's okay. You've also had a bad day today, so yeah, I I probably shouldn't go outside.

SPEAKER_36

I might be one in front. His mom was mad, real mad. But this sounds perfect. Uh we'll divide teams and then we'll head out pretty much anytime we come across one of these people, you're going to have to fight them back, probably. And then go from there. We all know Tojiro is in theory the strongest of us. Since he can maintain champion for. However, we all have the ability to digolve except Tamanaga. So this should be easy. Alright. Any questions? Alright, good. Go home, rest. We'll uh we're heading out to districts in the morning.

SPEAKER_25

Um our team's getting decided. Sorry, is that a morning thing?

SPEAKER_36

I don't give a shit who who wants to go with whom. Who do you want to go with? I don't know.

SPEAKER_27

I knew, I don't feel like I should take anything.

unknown

What?

SPEAKER_36

You're you are the leader, Lena, so you should decide if she fine, fine. Can you roll me a D one D three?

SPEAKER_22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_36

She pulls out a dice and starts rolling it.

SPEAKER_22

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

They played D D One. One. Alright.

SPEAKER_35

First on the list, let me see. Lamp lighters.

SPEAKER_36

One is Tojira. Tomanaga is in theory one. Uh yeah, it's the list. Tominaga's first, Tojuro second, Leon's third, Simon's fourth. But since we're taking Tominaga out, uh you are you are put with Tojiro as she Alright, you roll Tojuro, you two are together, which means me and Simon and Simon, how fun. I'm excited. Plush like you mono, huge excited. I'm ecstatic. He means that. That's not sarcasm. What is sarcasm?

SPEAKER_31

Nobody tell him.

SPEAKER_36

Alright. Alright. Go home, rest. Meet back here in the morning. No, don't meet back here. Just head to the districts. You just have each other's phone numbers. I'll call you in the morning, Simon. I'll pick you up and we'll head there. You don't have a car! Well, I feel like Tom and Aga's gonna solve that for aren't you? I'll I'll go get my bolt cutters. Aurelio Mon. Yes, we shall endeavor to do this correctly this time. I'll see you in the morning, Simon. Uh you two, you're uh head to the district. Whoever you find, take uh do not do not let them know what you're there for, but if they engage you, take them out. Tomanaga, you will be in charge of protecting the black tokamon X and feeding it as he are goddamn. You know I don't like getting bit. You you're one of the few people that is extremely uh unsusceptible to cold heart, so works well. See? Yeah, you're right.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_27

Alright, it seems sorry, why would he have to get bit?

SPEAKER_36

When was the last time you fed that thing eat pulse?

SPEAKER_21

He ate all my food today.

SPEAKER_36

Food gives them some energy, it doesn't give them what they need.

SPEAKER_34

Oh we need is that thing to get hungry and then all of a sudden uh it'll start how to put it when it when they get hungry and they start getting pretty much low on e-pulse, they can become savage.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_36

This thing's this thing's digivolved very quickly as well.

SPEAKER_34

I don't know why that is.

SPEAKER_27

So after it eats, how long is it good for? Hours, days?

SPEAKER_34

Sometimes weeks.

SPEAKER_25

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_36

But whatever uh whatever you want to do, go ahead, and out, do it.

SPEAKER_25

Can I open this cage?

SPEAKER_36

Sure, we would prefer you didn't.

SPEAKER_27

No, I was asking you.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, uh, it's got a it's got a padlock on it. Uh Simon seems to have the key.

SPEAKER_25

Hey, Wispy. If I let this thing bite me, can you make sure it stops in time?

SPEAKER_36

He sits there staring at you with just like a fuck a look of what the fuck? What? As Tom Naga. It's it's probably better to let me do it.

SPEAKER_34

Um, as they said, I'm very uh cold heart doesn't get me as bad.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah, but why should you be this was my choice.

SPEAKER_36

Because we're a team. Yeah, stop trying to do everything yourself.

SPEAKER_27

I just don't want people to get hurt because of me.

SPEAKER_36

Oh. If you don't want people to get hurt because of you, go be a teacher or something. Lena, she she is a teacher. Oh. Oh, I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_14

SPEAKER_35

I might though.

SPEAKER_16

SPEAKER_36

Just you know. I can. That's one. Is that enough? Do I need more?

SPEAKER_27

Were you throwing it in the fight?

SPEAKER_36

You walk over. Oh. Does a 29 hit?

SPEAKER_37

Well why would you even ask? You know it will. That seems like a real asshole move, Tojo. Hey, I'm just playing the game.

SPEAKER_03

Give me a yes or no! I'm gonna punch Psychimon!

SPEAKER_27

Can I give like a thumbs up like nod yes from behind him?

SPEAKER_33

Yeah, see, Shelby gets it. Shelby thinks a 29 will hit.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah, I do.

SPEAKER_33

29 doesn't hit.

SPEAKER_27

What?

SPEAKER_31

I look at the thing! I'm behind the DM screen. What?

SPEAKER_02

There are no notes that this thing cannot write.

SPEAKER_31

So what is behind the DM screen?

SPEAKER_36

Just like food wrappers? Just a bunch of like papers with scribbles all over them. And drawings of like plush Gabomon as a stick figure shaking hands with Lame Wizmon.

SPEAKER_18

Um talk to you for a second.

SPEAKER_23

Okay. Everybody take five. I'll be right back.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_23

It's over.

SPEAKER_27

Uh, I don't wanna oh oh, we're walking away. We're walking away. Okay, cool.

SPEAKER_23

How can I help?

SPEAKER_27

Um, I was just gonna say I don't want to tell you how to run your game.

SPEAKER_18

But if you want to shake hands with Flame Wizardmon, the 29 should probably hit so that Tojiro feels happy and then Flame feels happy.

SPEAKER_23

That's not how it works.

SPEAKER_18

What number is?

SPEAKER_23

You see, monsters have a thing called armor class.

SPEAKER_05

What number?

SPEAKER_15

But a 29 is so good though!

SPEAKER_23

It's not a 30.

SPEAKER_20

Hind something with AC30.

SPEAKER_23

I don't get it. Saves as he walks back.

SPEAKER_28

Okay. Alright, well never mind.

SPEAKER_27

Um so never mind that. Simon, can I have the key to the cage?

SPEAKER_36

Oh yeah, here you go. He just passes it to you.

SPEAKER_27

Thank you. Does Lena care?

SPEAKER_00

No one cares.

SPEAKER_27

Excellent!

SPEAKER_29

I'm gonna give him like the thing.

SPEAKER_24

You did that!

SPEAKER_36

As you open the cage. Simon does look at you as he. You do know that if he flies around and fucks everything up in We're not g oh, or he touches any of Lena's j you're gonna be paying for Yeah, but that's not gonna happen, cause he's coming home with you. He doesn't mean money. Oh, he's coming home with you? Okay, cool, never mind.

SPEAKER_27

Hold the bag open. The carriage awaits. Grab the shirt. Oh that stick it in there. Okay, we'll be back in the morning to drop him off, and then I guess I'll call you, Tojiro.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Good luck! So Andre the Giant would like to slam his hand into this thing.

SPEAKER_05

You can't just punch things, Tojiro. You gotta have nuance in your character. Andre the Giant punches!

SPEAKER_31

I guess we'll head out.

SPEAKER_36

You head home for the night.

SPEAKER_28

We could go there. What time is it? Could go hang out.

SPEAKER_36

Uh like ten o'clock.

SPEAKER_28

Not o'clock. Okay, no, I don't think it's gonna be sending the correct messages if I just show up at Soviet's house at ten.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, probably not. Probably might be an issue. Slightly misunderstood. As you head home, settling in the we have another set of people as you climb the ridges of a uh mountain moving forward. Whoa, different bad building appears before you as you'd uh you'd see moving up Garbabon at the helm, followed closely behind by Matt.

SPEAKER_05

Uh good old uh where are all my tweakers?

SPEAKER_36

Okay. Sorry, I was just trying to get the people.

SPEAKER_07

Uh Kid Destined Leo Kew is Keha is here, followed by Oh my god, do I not have Map saved?

SPEAKER_36

Alright. Followed by Garbamon and uh Matt alongside you. I got a new token for Matt, but it's on my other theme.

SPEAKER_19

Oh, is this old one not here anymore?

SPEAKER_36

I didn't save it to I didn't save it to a sheet.

SPEAKER_13

Is he still on the other map where we met, or is that map gone?

SPEAKER_36

It's fine. I've got this one. Here we go. Okay. I found it. Okay. Uh as Matt walks forth, he sits there as he. Alright! Uh, this is the Pyokaman village. It's just a little while from here to Devimon's cast. We'll stay here tonight. But you gotta keep an eye out. Cause if there's an oh if the Zodiac 13 are anywhere, they'd be around here. Oh. Kid, you can come with me and help collect firewood. Uh your Digimon and Gobamon, they can take a look around. That's cute. Alright. Sangamon! Don't let anyone say no Sangamon, Sangamon, no, don't don't go over there again.

SPEAKER_12

You can't you can't trust this Digimon.

SPEAKER_27

But he hasn't attacked me to me! We're friends and everything and the house and attack. This is a new record.

SPEAKER_36

But secretly he might be playing his attack. So you gotta be careful, okay?

SPEAKER_27

But so far, when people just attack me by surprise, I just beat him up.

SPEAKER_36

That's a good point. That's a good that's a really good point. Okay, never mind.

SPEAKER_27

You're there now, so I can do the sparkle thing.

SPEAKER_36

Well, I'm I'm gonna go with uh the weird guy. So I you won't be able to do the sparkle thing until I get back. So just avoid combat, okay? Alright.

SPEAKER_23

Let's see. Oh. Alright, but goodbye, Sangamon. I will be back. Hit a tear in his eye. Okay. Oh. Hi there, Sangamon.

SPEAKER_05

What do you wanna do now?

SPEAKER_27

Let's start to look around. Some of you just peek in the houses and stuff.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, let's peek in the houses. That's a good idea.

SPEAKER_05

That's a good idea. I was gonna go on my own. We can do it. Alright!

SPEAKER_36

No, yay! As he comes down throwing in the the uh the tents are empty, but as you guys are hanging about there. You enter this one over here next. And outside you hear the sound of someone walking around as he.

SPEAKER_05

Oh! Matt must be back!

SPEAKER_31

Gotta be careful and peek!

SPEAKER_24

We don't run out, we just peek.

SPEAKER_05

What? Why wouldn't we run out? Matt's my best friend! What if it's not Matt? He needs me to come say But who would it be if it's not Matt?

SPEAKER_26

Run into the zodiac guys that he warned us about. He said be careful!

SPEAKER_09

Oh no! Oh no, should I go out and uh do a boob blaster?

SPEAKER_27

Maybe you stay here and I will peek and then redecide if we fight, okay?

SPEAKER_05

Okay, I'll stay here. You walk outside.

SPEAKER_16

I'm not walking outside. I wanna like lean my little head out.

SPEAKER_36

Roll a grip chick.

SPEAKER_16

Okay.

SPEAKER_21

Ah yes, your best stats.

SPEAKER_36

The best of the stats. Holy shit. Oh! That went well.

SPEAKER_27

Nice!

SPEAKER_36

As you look out for a second there, you see something walking down this way. Moving towards the thing, as you're pretty sure you make out what looks to be a human. But as you're standing there, you feel something slap onto either of your arms and attempt to pull you. Can you give me a uh brawn shack?

SPEAKER_13

Twelve.

SPEAKER_07

Twelve. Okay.

SPEAKER_28

Do I take it? That's enough, okay.

SPEAKER_36

Something something grasps on you as you move your arms back, pushing back in as whatever was trying to get you seems to be on top. It drops down now as you hear as the building around you seems to almost start going into static. As you'd see it like as if it were a computer. Yeah, as if it were an illusion. Or essentially pixels start breaking apart. But they seem to be moving into pixels and then going back solid until the figure reaches the front of the tent here as it pulls the thing open and looks in as it hello.

SPEAKER_24

Hello. Are you nice?

SPEAKER_34

Uh I'm Glitchman. Are you uh are you nice?

SPEAKER_27

I think so. Gabriman, do you think I'm nice?

SPEAKER_08

It's nice to meet you nice. Oh I'm glitchman!

SPEAKER_24

No, no, no, I mean are you friendly? My name is is Sangerman.

SPEAKER_08

Oh I'm oh hi Sangerman, I'm Glitchman.

SPEAKER_29

And are you friendly?

SPEAKER_08

Uh no, I'm Glitchman.

SPEAKER_24

Okay, okay, that's fine. Um what do you like to do, Glitchman?

SPEAKER_08

I don't know. I guess I like to fight.

SPEAKER_18

Huh.

SPEAKER_08

And I like to mess things up, and I like making things not work properly.

SPEAKER_37

And making everybody sit there and go, oh no! It's Glitchman!

SPEAKER_27

Okay. That does sound kind of fun.

SPEAKER_36

It sounds oh, it's the best kind of fun. As he hears a whistle as his head just turns like a dog with a squirrel. I gotta go! As he runs off. As he runs. Do you watch where he goes?

SPEAKER_27

I'm gonna call back to Gobermon that I think I saw a person. And I so I assume he saw the Digimon, cause like he was.

SPEAKER_05

Maybe the person was mad.

SPEAKER_27

I'll step out to see where he's going.

SPEAKER_36

As you step out, you'd see he's chasing after this person. I know, but I has another Digimon at his side. They start moving, as you've just encountered, another Digidesman. And that's where we're gonna end the session.

SPEAKER_27

Yay!

SPEAKER_36

I'm so glad your PC got to be in here. Shooter! I had to introduce some Digidestin, and I'm like, he's my favorite Digidesman.

SPEAKER_27

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, Glitchman's kind of dumb, but I love him.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. He has no concept of the real world.

SPEAKER_10

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_28

But he followed up, I like to fight without just attacking, so that that works well. Uh it's good.

SPEAKER_27

He likes to fight. Yeah, but he didn't try to fight me. He just likes to fight. And you know what? Maybe I like to fight too.

SPEAKER_34

It is kind of fun. He likes to mess things up. That's that's his jam.

SPEAKER_25

Yeah. In a lot of ways, that session went better than I expected. Tomorrow should be good, right?

SPEAKER_27

Cause um get another sleepover with Black Tokomon X, and then we're gonna go to the storage place where Tojiro lives and talk to the Black Numon and see if, you know, he broke free from the gang, and that's why he didn't want us to tell the others where he was. Cause I'm kinda hopeful that that's the case. If he doesn't have an alliance with the other Numamons that are Sleeker's bodyguards, then maybe he could be our friend.

SPEAKER_13

Maybe.

SPEAKER_27

And I also have to try to figure out when exactly I'm gonna try to introduce Kisobe and Black Tilmonics to see if they in and off. But um, I mean, he would probably love to have a Digimon nursery. I just don't know if little Chinatown is the best place for one. But it could be.

SPEAKER_25

Anyway, thanks for listening. Hope to see you again next week. If you ever want to hear us play live, you can come check us out on Twitch. My name is Little Chomp there too.

SPEAKER_27

Um and if not, that's totally cool. We're a few weeks ahead of the show, so it may be a little bit confusing if you do come, but either way, I just appreciate having you here. So thanks. Have a good week, and I'll see you later.
