Sixth Flame [Accidental Voice/Action]

[Even though Taichi has his own room and everything, he's been spending the last few days up in one of the trees in the forest keeping a watchful eye out, leaning back against the branches and looking down]

Daisuke...and Takeru too. They're both gone now.

I can't believe I let them disappear.

Personal map? I tried drawing one of those once but then it got burned and shriveled up. [mostly he's just curious because the only other person he knows who's so formal is Aegis]

[mystearical.livejournal.com]

...Here, you mean? Perhaps they have some sort of defense mechanism against people documenting their surroundings... Do you mind if I ask how long you've been here, Taichi?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't made a map here yet. I should though, that's a really good idea!

I've...been here around two months I think. If time moves normally I mean. [oh goodness, I would love to see how Tear and Aegis interact.]

[light-angelgirl.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I don't trust him.

[She keeps nodding as he speaks, listening. It seems like there's far more to the story than he's telling, but she's fine with just learning the basics for now.]

I see...

It certainly sounds as if he has a lot of different forms... which form was he in most commonly? It must be complicated to refer to them if they don't go by one singular name all the time.

Was the problem able to be resolved...?

[mystearical.livejournal.com]

Two months... Perhaps we could work on a map together.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[Sorry Raine, he's holding out on you :| Eventually he might tell the whole story though...]

Yeah, he was usually in his rookie form, Agumon. Sometimes after big battles he'd go back to being Koromon until he got his energy up again but usually he was Agumon. All of our Digimon usually stayed as rookies except for Tailmon, she was a champion.

Eventually we managed to wipe out the enemies and save both worlds, so I guess yeah, it was all fixed.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

That wouldn't be a bad idea. I wonder if some of the others have made one we just don't know about though. I know this one guy made a guide about Luceti but I don't know if that includes a map. [do it. I will stalk that :|]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She'll just have to try to build more trust with him, that's all.]

Oh? What are the names of the other stages, then?

Saving two worlds is quite a task. You and your friends must have experienced quite a lot, during your journey.

[Action]

[This is true, this is true]

It went from Botamon to Koromon to Agumon to Greymon to MetalGreymon and finally to WarGreymon. He gets more powerful and bigger as he evolves.

...but yeah. We did. It was a long journey that none of us were expecting. We were just kids at a camp, we didn't expect to have to save the world, or worlds.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

It certainly sounds like that, especially from the naming pattern.

Mmm... sometimes people need to step up in unexpected situations to help make a change. Though from what you've said, you didn't even seem to have been given a choice in the matter.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Before the Digital World, my biggest worry was whether I'd be stuck eating my mom's cooking for dinner and if I could stay up a little later to watch TV. But then suddenly I was dropped into a world I was expected to save because of a prophecy more or less.

Really...put eveything in focus.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

It sounds as if it was a large adjustment to make. A change like that would put things into focus, or make you look at things in a way you might not have thought to before.

How many other children were with you?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I think we all grew up after that and we came out stronger in the end. But it was hard to think about going back and leaving our Digimon friends behind.

Well...there were six others the first time but then we found out we needed to find the eighth chosen to help in the final fight. Turned out it was my little sister, so we brought her back to the Digital World to fight again.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

That does sound like it would be hard, especially after you had gotten along so well to get so far. Though being able to say that you lived through a troubled time and coming out stronger for it is always a good thing.

I see...

[mystearical.livejournal.com]

I've seen a map, but I prefer to map things they didn't include and I didn't feel it was my place to alter something not my own.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's not a big deal but I bet a lot of people back home wouldn't believe me.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's true. All right, let's make a map then. [pffff those are overrated :|]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Unfortunately, even with sufficient evidence, it takes a lot to convince people of things. A fear of things not being the way they've been accustomed to accepting all their lives, unless they were forced to accept it by other means. And even then, they're quick to associate things that they can't explain away to something that feels better for them to accept than the truth.

I can imagine that the monsters finally being revealed to your planet had an impact, but once the threat was removed, people were quick to find another means to explain it away into something they felt more comfortable with accepting.

[light-angelgirl.livejournal.com]

Because of what happened?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I know it took a while for all of us to actually accept what was going on and that it wasn't some crazy dream. It was like something out of an anime or something; we never would have guessed.

I don't know about the people back home. I know our parents had a really hard time accepting the fact that we had monsters of all things helping us save the world and that we had to go back to another dimension, but they were really supportive. They had faith.

Hard to say how everybody else felt.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Sometimes support can be found in unexpected places. After all, new things and change can be very hard for anyone to accept; just look at our situation here for a good enough example of that.

People can be very stubborn. I hope that someday you'll find a way to get through to them, once this is all over.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah...you're right, this place is a good enough example.

I might not have to try very hard though. According to Hikari in a few years everybody knows about the Digimon and the Digital World.
