[Takato appears on the screen, smiling sadly even as he roughly scrubs tears away from his eyes.]

I don't know what these crystals are or where they came from.  But I think I'm glad they're here.  Because it let me see Guilmon again, even if only for a moment.

[ooc: Takato found a fragment with the memory of his first meeting with Guilmon.  If anyone ( Read more... )

[It was very late at night indeed, but to the boy curled up on the couch in the darkness that didn't matter. He'd tried to sleep. Really he had. But tonight it seemed like all he could dream were nightmares. He'd finally resorted to simply tightly clutching onto his D-Arc and thinking ( Read more... )

[Takato stares solemnly at the video screen.]

I feel like the past week has been nothing but a nightmare.

[He sighs and looks down for a moment.]

I can't really remember a lot of what happened here. Did some people try to talk to me? I think I might remember that. But to me it feels like I was back in that place ( Read more... )

I've been thinking a lot recently. Did you know I've lived in Discedo for ten months now? That seems like a really long time. But I think I've learned a lot here and made a lot of new friends ( Read more... )

[Takato is seated on his bed, awkwardly thumbing through a pack of cards as he softly talks to himself.]

White Wings is no good.  Neither are any of these effect cards.

The Aegis?

[He smiles sadly and sets it aside in a different pile.]

Yeah.  It's been useful before.  If only I had a card for Gram.  Or Grani.

Guilmon is gone again.

I know that he is probably safer there.  I mean, I'm glad that he won't get hurt here any more.

But it's painful.  I already miss him.  Being separated like this, it never feels quite right.  Like a part of me is missing.  I wish I could have gone with him.

And I'm afraid that we'll never meet each other again.

[Takato stirs groggily in the hospital bed and frowns as he tries to remember why everything hurts so much.  He hadn't become Dukemon recently, so why would he feel like he had barely survived a bad fight?  The boy stares sleepily at the cast covering his arm , and winces at the pain as he awkwardly tries to push himself  up with his good arm.  And ( Read more... )

[Takato dashes our into the street, his face a mask of worry and his digivice clutched in one hand.  He frantically turns in circles, trying to do something with the holographic display as he calls out a single name over and over again.]

Guilmon!  Guilmon!  Guilmon?  Where are you?  Guilmon?

[The boy turns and runs down the street, not paying any ( Read more... )

I - I'm so sorry, everyone. This was all my fault.

...I lost control of myself again.

You know, Ty Lee's idea made me start thinking about some things. Maybe saying we like it here will make all the awful events stop happening. Or maybe it won't. But it can't hurt to think more about all the good things about life here. Isn't it easier to be happy when you think about the friends you've made and all the amazing things you've ( Read more... )
