 [The video feed opens on a smiling Takato in his room at the children's home in Genessia. He adjusts his goggles as he looks into the camera.]

I've been thinking a lot recently. And I realized that even though I've lived in Genessia all this time, I've never really explored the other cities. So I was thinking about going out exploring today. Does anyone want to go with me?

Certainly, so long as we stay within certain boundaries. Not Everglade, for starters.

Re: Private Video

[dreamtamer]

What's wrong with Everglade? Is it dangerous there?

[Ted can't fault the kid for not reading the paper; it was pretty boring when he was growing up too.]

Yes, even before the recent anarchy. And I suppose Fayren's out too, what with the mystic arms race going on. Not to mention what those horrid bounties detail; there's...

I'm beginning to sound like a fussy parent, aren't I? But you know what I mean. A child going out alone isn't a sunny prospect. If you go out, please take me or another capable adult with you.

I didn't realize it was that bad.

Don't worry. I'll be careful.

I haven't done much exploring either. I'm up for looking at the other cities.

Re: [ video - adrien agreste ]

[dreamtamer]

That's great! I think this could be really fun if we got a bunch of people to go.

Re: [ video - adrien agreste ]

[catastrophically]

How many people do you think will be interested?

Re: [ video - adrien agreste ]

[dreamtamer]

I don't know. So far its just you and Hikari and me.

Re: [ video - adrien agreste ]

[catastrophically]

I guess everyone's not that big on exploring.

Re: [ video - adrien agreste ]

[dreamtamer]

Maybe everyone else has already seen everything.

We still have to find an adult too. Mr. Ted made me promise that.

Re: [ video - adrien agreste ]

[catastrophically]

[ Ah. Adrien remembers Ted, though Ted would not know him. ]

We have to have an adult?

Re: [ video - adrien agreste ]

[dreamtamer]

Well, he said that some of the other areas were really dangerous right now.

[Once, Takato would have cheerfully gone anyway.

But Guilmon wasn't here. He couldn't fight any more. ]

Re: [ video - adrien agreste ]

[catastrophically]

I guess there has been a lot of crime happening lately.

[dreamtamer]

Is that why that guy was worried?

[catastrophically]

Probably.

[ He needs to get on that. ]

Anyway, how're you gonna find an adult? The right one too.

[dreamtamer]

I don't know. I guess I don't really know very many people here.

[catastrophically]

Neither do I. I'm still kind of new.

[dreamtamer]

I'm sure that will change! Lots of people here are nice.

[catastrophically]

Uh, yeah. For the most part.

[ Now Adrien can see why an adult was needed. ]

I'd be more than happy to explore with you. I've been here over a year and I've yet to go to every city.

So it will be fun.

[dreamtamer]

Which ones have you been through? I haven't decided yet where to go first.

video;

[pinklight]

I haven't been to Everglade and Fayren or at least explored them. It's better to list where I haven't been.

[dreamtamer]

Someone was just telling me that both of those are dangerous right now. He made me promise to take an adult if I went.

[pinklight]

I don't know a lot of adults I am close to, but I at least have a way of fighting should we need to, so would that count?

Re: video;

[dreamtamer]

You do?

I guess? I mean, he mostly just seemed to be worried about safety.

video;

[pinklight]

Yeah, I have Tailmon.

[She could understand, but honestly she had probably been in danger pretty often back home, so what was something else dangerous really going to do.]

I can understand the need to be safe, but.. well I've been in dangerous situations before.

Re: video;

[dreamtamer]

[Takato wasn't really worried about the danger himself. Well, he couldn't forget that he didn't have Guilmon with him anymore. That he couldn't really fight any more. He still remembered being Dukemon.

But... ]

I guess I just don't like the idea of breaking a promise. Especially when it seems like he was just worrying.

[pinklight]

Did you pinky promise? because if you did, I understand because those are not to be broken.

Re: video;

[dreamtamer]

Um, I don't think so? It was more like a regular promise.

video;

[pinklight]

Then I guess you don't have to keep it, but I guess I would suggest doing so. I will probably still explore though.
