[ Natsume's walking through what looks like a forest with an umbrella in his hand, his notebook that has access to the community in the other. He stops near a tree while it's still raining lightly and talks. ]

I just wanted to let everyone know that everything turned out okay. I guess I worried some of you with my last post...

[ There's a pause, then Natsume looks out around the rain. ]

It's Sunday here so I don't have school and I wanted to show everyone something that I saw the other day. It only happens when it rains and the sun comes out. It looked light enough that I think it should soon.

[ Natsume keeps standing there while the rain keeps drizzling lightly, looking a little disappointed that the sun hasn't come out yet. Seriously it must be like 6 in the morning. Natsume shrugs one of his shoulders like he's trying to brush something off (for those with spiritual abilities, they can see it's a little green youkai that looks like a frog with really long legs and a paper mask over his face and a straw hat that had hopped onto his shoulder just because it was there. To everyone else it probably looks like he was trying to shoo a small bug though. Still waiting, so Natsume speaks up again. ]

I guess while we wait, I'll ask a question. What kinds of places are your favorites to visit near where you live?

[ Almost as soon as he asks the question though, the rain seems to let up so Natsume looks up and closes his umbrella, glancing at a field behind some of the trees he's in between as he moves the camera to show the field. As the sun starts to come out, the whole field seems to slowly light up. ]

[ Natsume knows he sucks with kids. A lot. This is difficult for him okay??

He'll just.. take the subject change. ]

Digital World? [ Maybe it's a computer game.. ]

[kouji is hardly a kid, he's pretty mature for his age.]

Digital World.

Yeah, the name pretty much sums it up.

Re: video;

[ Natsume's face obviously matches his thoughts of No it doesn't! ]

If you say so... We don't exactly have a digital world here, so I'm just going to guess here.

[ponytailprince]

It's a world that's digital.

With Digimon in it.

[WOW THIS ISN'T HARD NATSUME.]

[spiritually]

[ The fuck is a Digimon. Natsume doesn't even own a cell phone or a computer. Hell, he just recently learned how to ride a bike, give him a break Kouji ;;

He's pretty sure he just sucks with kids though. ]

Like [ one of them new-fangled ] a computer game?

[ponytailprince]

...Basically.

[no kouji is just a weird kid to handle.]

Don't think about it too hard, you might feel strained.

[spiritually]

I can handle a little confusion, but you're not really giving me anything to work with.

[ :| ]

[ponytailprince]

Maybe I don't want to give a lot away to someone I just met.

[spiritually]

[ Not like he can begrudge him for that. But don't bring it up if you're not going to say anything!! Natsume looks like he wants to say just that, actually, but he refrains.

Is this how it feels to be his friend all the time? ]

Sorry for asking then.

[ponytailprince]

...Kouji Minamoto.

[might as well introduce himself.]

[spiritually]

[ Oh good something easier to talk about. Ish. ]

I'm Natsume.

[ Just Natsume, yep. ]

[ponytailprince]

[...

......okay, he's better at socially interacting he can do this.]

Nice to meet you.

[spiritually]

[ These two may have enough social skills combined to make half of a regular person's. ]

Do you have a place that you like to see?

[ponytailprince]

I've already seen all the places in the Digital World.

...And even some on the moon.

[spiritually]

Are there any that you like to see, I mean-- Just to go and enjoy?

[ponytailprince]

...Well, going to the beach here was fun.

But we're all not here for entertainment exactly.

[spiritually]

You're not?

[ Do you get why you need to explain what the digital world is yet ]

[ponytailprince]

[a sigh.]

A group of us kids were called to the Digital World, we're supposed to protect it all from the evil Digimon here. They're like... they look like animals almost, but they can talk and feel and everything.

We can transform into Digimon, so we're here to help.

[spiritually]

Digimon are..?

[ Not everyone is psychic, Kouji! He can only see weird shit, not your thoughts! ]

[ponytailprince]

I just said, they look like animals and can talk and everything. They're digital monsters though.

[spiritually]

[ Right. Natsume's getting all messed up here okay! He's forgetting what he already asked. This kid is harsh he can't help it. :T ]

That's good that you're helping them, either way..

[ponytailprince]

We're all helping each other, I guess.... I don't know, I'm not really used to being in a group of kids and helping out. But we've been through a lot together already.

[spiritually]

It's hard at first, getting along with people when you're not used to it. But I like it. It's.. [ How to put it. Natsume has no idea that most people wouldn't go to describe something like this. ] It makes me feel like I've got a place that I belong.

[ponytailprince]

[oh.

maybe this guy does understand.]

Well.... that's a little stretch. [he does agree to it though, he's just a male tsun.]

[spiritually]

[ It's too bad he doesn't know Kouji well enough to tell that's what it is.

Just assumes he's saying something dumb okay. ]

Maybe, but... it's true for me.
