#repeat daisuke

Repeat!Daisuke, holding up a Not Great Drawing: Well, basically, to stop the Virus, which Meicoomon was Infected with, from being spread further amongst the Digimon, your group 'originally', in 2005, went off to the Digital World to beat up, and get information out of, one of the key guys who first appeared, that "Alphamon"... then the fake Kaiser showed up!... then the older "Gennai"! Jou: T-Those {drawings} look nothing like them!! Mimi, EXCITED: No, I kind of see it!! Repeat!Ken, Helpfully Adding as Daisuke holds up more drawings: But Alphamon wasn't necessarily a wholly "bad" Digimon, {though Alphamon DID Get up to a Lot of Things...} and the "Kaiser" was a fake who ended up 'being' that "Gennai", who was ALSO a fake. Repeat!Daisuke: So you realized that the guy who's extremely evil was {Holding up scribbled Drawing!!} "Yggdrasil", who has a role in 'maintaining' the supposed "balance" of the Digital World, along with {Holding up Another Drawing} "Homeostasis", that 'being' who keeps trying to possess Hikari-chan! Repeat!Miyako, ADDING: "Homeostasis" also realized "Yggdrasil" was extremely evil and is trying to fight Yggdrasil for control to 'maintain' the "balance", but that makes "Homeostasis" something like our 'enemy' now too, regardless of its original "intentions" being 'good' or not! Repeat!Daisuke: THATS SO SIMPLE THEN!!! REPEAT!DAISUKE, FIRED UP: DEFEAT YGGDRASIL!!!!! A.U!Koushiro: (*facefaulting, along with Taichi by side*) {'I-It's not quite that simple, but let's go along with this for now, then.'}

SHANE, FINALLY... Reaching Hikaru's home: (At night) Shane, properly standing outside Hikaru's home: Shane: S h a n e: (*quiet but firm knocking, enough that it won't wake Hikaru's whole family up, but likely Hikaru will hear, because*) SHANE: (*KNOWS Hikaru is a Night Owl*)--- Hikaru, Right on Cue: (*Opening... Door*) ... SHANE: ... HIKARU: ... Hikaru: O-Oh! You're here... Shane: ... Yeah. Hikaru, Concerned: ...Is something happening? Shane: ... Kind of. It'll take way too long to explain, but... Shane: ... I wanted to let you know first. Hikaru: ... Hikaru: OK. Do you want to come insid--- Shane, Unnerved at thought: Just here is fine. Hikaru: We can sit here, then. (*sits on steps*) Shane, following, Sitting Next To: ... Hikaru: I heard a little of what was happening before, but as for "now"... Shane: I know. Shane: ... I... have to go away for a bit again. Hikaru: ... Hikaru: "A bit"? (Not A Short Time?) Shane: ... Yeah. (Not A Short Time.) Hikaru, letting out a small breath: ... I see. Shane: ... You deserve to know. Before I... leave again. I'm sorry I... couldn't tell you before. Hikaru: HIKARU: I don't like that. Shane: ... Uh?? (*sTARTLE, BLINK*)-- H I K A R U: YOU'RE the one who died. HIKARU: You didn't deserve any of that!! It's not your fault that happened to you...!! ! Hikaru: ... Shane: ... Shane: Y-Yeah. Hikaru: I kept waiting. A long time... all through the end of elementary and middle school... waiting to see if you'd reach out online again. And when you didn't... Hikaru: I assumed "something" must have happened to you. Hikaru: So I researched. A lot. I kept up with coding, even if I wasn't sure it'd be completely helpful in locating you. But I realized... Hikaru: I actually grew to enjoy it on my own, too. So I kept pursuing it for myself. Shane: ...Yeah. You had a lot of fun with that site. HIKARU: AND talking to you!! SHANE: ... Hikaru: It was really fun. I think it was some of the most fun of my life so far... and, you "mean" something to me, too. In a unique but "different" way... but "different" from what a lot may perceive that as... does that make sense?? Shane: ... Yeah. (*Nodding*) It does. Shane: And... I'm kind of grateful, too. Hikaru: ... ??? Shane: The "bond" I have with you is important to me too... and I don't want to lose you... Because... I don't think I could stand to lose someone important (again). Hikaru, Never completely learnt about Shane's past relations: ... Shane: But... if you ever have to go somewhere someday... its fine. (I'll be ok. WE'LL Be OK.) Hikaru, smiling: ... The same for you. SHANE: ... Hikaru: ..But you know which e-mail address YOU can reach me at. Shane: (... -- Hikaru still has it.) Hikaru: It never got deleted in all those purges. (*Light laughter*) We saved yours, too... in case you needed it again. SHANE: ... I do. Need. That. Hikaru: For what you're about to do? Shane: YEAH... Hikaru: Let's reinstate it, then. But... you'll have something tying you to "this world" again. SHANE: It's ok. Do it. Please. Hikaru: You don't even need to ask! Shane: (I wanted to.) {Watching as Hikaru sets Shane's old address back up} Hikaru: So.... "Skateboard"... and the numbers. SHANE, GROANING INTERNALLY: I'm sorry it was so standard. (I can't even skateboard now. And it's not like I was really great at it before.) Hikaru: It's ok. I liked typing it out! SHANE: ... (This is why it was nice talking to Hikaru.) (Among... elsewise) SHANE: ... If it's done... Yeah... I have to go. Hikaru: I know. Shane: ... This will probably always be happening to me in some way, but... I'll always try to come back. Hikaru: I know! Hikaru: See you ... next year? Shane: I'll try. For "next year". And... Hikaru: ??? Shane, fading out: Tell DAISUKE and Ken I still need to finish playing against them in their "game"! SHANE, HOLDING UP DIGIVICE: AND I'LL WIN "THIS ONE"! SHANE, In OTHER hAND, Holding TAICHI+DAISUKEs GOGGLES: (*one-handed PUTS ON*) HIKARU, LAUGHING, HOLDING UP D3 IN SILVER, GOLD AND PINK, & PHONE DIGIVICE TOO: I WILL!! SHANE (+HIKARU, IN MIND): "DIGITAL GATE, OPEN!!!"

Shane, finally catching a breath after making a wild sprint from Daisuke's place: ... Shane: ... Shane: (Crap.) I actually forgot it was Obon soon... TOO MANY People for Shane's comfort: {ABOUT} Shane: ... Shane: (OK, but I can blend in with the crowd and--) Shane: (Notices the food stalls being set up) SHANE: {Remembering. Oh. Right. Food--} Shane: ... (Wait) SHANE: (Isn't Daisuke supposed to be selling {ramen} at this kind of place soon?!!) Shane: ... (They're probably going to turn up--) SHANE: (... Takes out brand-new Digivice{?}-phone Provided By Izumi Corp. ... Tap tap tap, inputting Hikaru's address--) Shane: If I can just make it to Hikaru's place from here, Daisuke will eventually be nearby here *anyway*, (I'll figure how how to handle Ken LATER) and then-- SHANE: ... Shane: (GROAN) Shane: (...I forgot Hikaru will also {...likely} be out during Obon.)

After a whole round of Ken telling some wild stories involving spirits, cue DAISUKE: H-Hey, Shane, are you just going to stay awake the whole night like that {*again*}? SHANE, (when) still Temporarily Digital: ... SHANE floating around somewhere in the distance closer to the ceiling: I mean. I can't exactly "phase" back "in" at will, so… I guess I'm up for "a while". DAISUKE, Looking At Ken Pleadingly: SHANE: ... I'll leave when I get tired. ("I'll leave if it's a bother." / "I don't really care.") KEN: ... KEN, laughing a bit: Would you like to have a round at the "scary stories"? SHANE: DAISUKE: Shane: Sure. (*floats / is pulled back down, but can't exactly move to "sit"*) I got some really cool ones. I don't know if you'll find them cool, but I do. Ken: Go for it. DAISUKE, WHINING IN MIND but LOOKING @ KEN: (KENNNNNN---) KEN: (We'll probably all be a bit more worn out after, so hang in there for a bit longer.) DAISUKE, Pleading eyes:

Inter-national O.C. Chosen Shane, some night after having been 'revived' from being partly 'Digital', finally having gotten back on their feet but is now... trying to figure out how to sleep: ... SHANE on the other side of Daisuke + Ken in the bed: ... DAISUKE: ... (Is pretty much dead asleep) KEN: ... (Is sleeping Calmly) SHANE, AWAKE: (... This is Awkward.) DAISUKE & KEN: ... (Snoozing. For a long while.) SHANE Lying Awake: (Ugh) DAISUKE, SUDDENLY FLOPPING TO LAND WITH A LEG HALF IN FRONT OF SHANE'S FACE: SHANE: SHANE: (I'll wake you up myself if I have to.) DAISUKE: ... SHANE, Nudging Daisuke's leg: (...Or I'll just move you.) Daisuke, Is Moved: Shane, starting to get up from the bed: (Maybe I'll just... sit out in the living area for a while.) The next morning, Daisuke wakes up & doesn't automatically see Shane: Huh??? SHANE, was awake playing one of the games they're always playing all night: What. DAISUKE: DAISUKE: ... (I kept Shane up.) DAISUKE: Uhhh... you can have... the bed.... Shane: ... Thanks. (Quickly disappears into room.) Ken: (At least you didn't cling to Shane in your sleep.) DAISUKE, GROANING: (I still feel bad though!!) SHANE, continues to sleep during the early-middle part of the day regardless of What Goes On During Each Following Night: (My sleep schedule will never be fixed, but I didn't expect it to be.) Ken: (Honestly, I'm surprised Shane lasted that long, but at least I'm *used to* Daisuke's tossing and ... clinging.) DAISUKE: (KENNNNN---)

Inter-national O.C. Chosen Shane, whom is now fully ? ?? 'revived': ... ... ... Shane: ... (While I'm {Still} Here) Shane: I need ... to... swing by 'that' place again. Daisuke, didn't hear: Huh? Shane, to Ken: Uh, I'm going for a "walk"--- KEN, FLATLY: No You Aren't Shane: ("SH*T") Ken: I'll call for someone to take you... to where you 'want to go'. (Though we technically 'can' drive, we don't own a car, and...) It's dangerous to try "walking" there on your own, you're still physically weak. Ken: (You've already almost been hit ONCE.) Shane: ... I'm not a child. (I'm *your* age) Ken: ... Ken: (*sends message Ken was writing*) Anyhow... I'm sure they'll be here shortly. Shane: ... (*Short-ish time passes but still some time*) Takeru, entering Ken+Daisuke's 'place': ... SHANE: ... Takeru: Oh, hello. Ken told me you were "here". SHANE, Narrowed Eyes in Ken's direction: Ken, Shrugging: Takeru "knows Takeru's way around" here best out of everyone else, so... Shane: ... (It's not that Takeru 'can't know' but.) Takeru: I can call a taxi. I've done that before Takeru: ... Anyway, should we go ? Shane, Internally SIGHING: (Guess I Have To.) Daisuke: (Good luck, man...)
