You're out in the street? It isn't safe there! There are monsters and all kinds of things.

[whiteduplicity]

[ ...lolwhat ]

... Monsters?

[gallantgoggles]

Yeah, they've attacked a bunch of people. Some of them are really scary.

[whiteduplicity]

[ asdkalsd-- ]

But-- how? I... mean, how are they able to exist here..?

[gallantgoggles]

What do you mean?

[whiteduplicity]

I mean, back home...

They usually only exist in ... holograms.

[gallantgoggles]

Oh! I know what you mean. In my home the only monsters were digimon - and most of them stayed in the Digital World.

But I think its different here. They're real monsters. I don't think they're made out of data at all.

[whiteduplicity]

... Ahah, real monsters...

And... Digital World?

[gallantgoggles]

It seems like no one here has ever heard of it. It's a world that kind of grew out of the internet. Everything is made out of data there. Even the digimon.

[whiteduplicity]

Hmm... No one's heard of it, huh? Where are you from, if you don't mind me inquiring..?

[gallantgoggles]

Of course not. I'm from West Shinjuku.

[whiteduplicity]

Oh, wow...! You didn't live very far from me then!

I'm from Domino City, a suburb of Tokyo.

[gallantgoggles]

Wow, that is close. A lot of the people I've met here come from worlds that aren't anything like mine. A bunch of people didn't even know what a computer was.

[whiteduplicity]

Oh wow, never heard of computers. That's... quite something. This world keeps on getting stranger and stranger.

[gallantgoggles]

There are even some people here who are also countries. I met Italy and Russia and Canada a while ago.

[whiteduplicity]

... [ flatly. ] Countries.

You can be a country and a person at the same time?
