2nd Keyhole [Accidental Video/Audio]

[whapswithakey]

[The video opens up to a beautiful beach. The sun is just barely in the frame, the beautiful rays shining down on the water. The camera moves around for a bit before you hear the click of a button being pressed. Then a voice off-screen speaks.]

Huh? It didn't work.

click.

Oh come on!

click. click. click.

Stupid thing!

[The view moves again to see spiky brown hair and a fist comes down again and again on the screen of the D-Comm.]

Why won't you take a picture you stupid thing?!

[There's a few more whacks before a rather large hand shoots out to grab the D-Comm from it's incompetent owner. It's a Koemon. He stares at the D-Comm for a bit and behind him, and a bit out of focus, you can see his spiky brown-haired Tamer squat down behind him and look over his shoulder.]

What are you doing?

[There's a few button's pressed and the feed turns to audio.]

Oh! That's how you do it! I turned on the camera on accident. Oops.

Heh heh heh. Thanks Koe!

click.

Thanks Koe. You know, this beach is a lot like the one I have back in my world. Reminds me of home. We should go out and explore today. Come on!

[And with one last click, the audio cuts out.]

Oh, are you new here? The D-Comm takes a bit of getting used to if you've never had one before.

[There's some mumbling before the video kicks on and Sora appears on the screen.]

Yeah. I've been here about a week. I'm Sora! What's your name?

Video

[sakedrinking]

I'm Haku. It's nice to meet you, Sora.

[Haku bows to the camera as much as she can since she's currently sitting in her office]

How has it been for you so far?

Re: Video

[whapswithakey]

Nice to meet you too Haku!

[Sora mimics the bow with a laugh.]

It's been okay so far. Some people don't seem to believe me though when I tell them I'm looking for the keyhole to this world. Have you seen a giant keyhole around at all?

Video

[sakedrinking]

A giant keyhole? No, I haven't. Why would you be looking for something like that?

Re: Video

[whapswithakey]

Well every world has a keyhole. And I search for them so I can lock them up. I was on my way to do this test when I ended up here. I think it might be part of the test. I need to find the keyhole and lock it so this world will wake up.

Video

[sakedrinking]

Ohhh... well, I'm afraid I've never heard of there being a keyhole here. I've been about three years now and I haven't been able to get back to my own world at all. Some people come and go, but as far as I know there's no keyhole responsible for that.

Re: Video

[whapswithakey]

People come and go? How is that?

[The boy blinks a few times, obviously confused.]

Video

[sakedrinking]

Well uhm... eheh... honestly I think the tree god just gets bored...

Kid, better watch what you say. You've dodged the return trip so far, don't jinx it.

Sorry... anyway. Sometimes people just get sent home, but they come back later. We don't have any control over it, though, I'm afraid.

Re: Video

[whapswithakey]

This god tree person sounds like of mean. After I find the keyhole I'm going to make sure to find him too.

Or maybe the other way around.

...I need to find Riku too.

[Excuse him while he scratches his head and lets out a small groan.]

There's too many things to find here.

Video

[sakedrinking]

O-oh... you probably won't be able to find him. No one I know has been able to, really. It seems like he mostly talks through a Wizardmon and a Witchmon most of the time, and he wasn't even around when the world ended a couple of months ago.

[she sighs, waving a hand]

It was a bit of a mess...

Is Riku a friend of yours?

Re: Video

[whapswithakey]

Well that's no fair. He shouldn't be hiding-THE WORLD ENDED?!

How did the world end?!

[Hit by a sudden thought.]...maybe that was when the world went to sleep.

Video

[sakedrinking]

[Haku blinks, obviously not aware that she sounds a little... nonchalant about it all.]

Hmn? Oh. Well. A really powerful digimon was released on Draco Island a couple of months ago. Like I said, it was kind of a mess... but everything reset, so it's not like we died or anything. We're fine, obviously...

[and a bit of a pause here. she almost didn't hear that.]

... asleep? No. I'm not asleep. I'd know if I was in sleep mode...

Re: Video

[whapswithakey]

No no, not you. The world itself. It's asleep. It's a long story.

[Sora waved his hand this time.]

I'm just here to wake it up and that's why I'm looking for the keyhole.

And yeah, Riku is my friend. Maybe you've seen him? He's about this tall. [Sora holds up his hand well over his head.]

And he has silver hair that's about to his shoulders. And he scowls a lot like this! [Cue Sora's ridiculous Riku-esque scowl.]

[illuminatings]

Oh, it seems like you're just as new to this device as I am!

Re: [ audio ]

[whapswithakey]

Is it that obvious? I just I've never used computers or anything like this. Like ever.

[ audio ]

[illuminatings]

It's nothing to be ashamed over. Admitting your faults means you're not afraid to make mistakes.

Re: [ audio ]

[whapswithakey]

I guess that's true. Thanks!

[ audio ]

[illuminatings]

You're welcome.

[pillowcatchermaster]

I didn't really find mine much different from the cell phone I had back home. What do you need help with?

[whapswithakey]

Taking pictures. I've never used anything like this besides Ansem's computer and that thing was just as hard to use.

[pillowcatchermaster]

Oh, well, see, there's an icon for it. If you just tap on it, it'll take you to the camera program.

[whapswithakey]

Okay!

...

...

What does the icon look like?

[pillowcatchermaster]

...

[attached: screen grab of Akari's screen with the right icon circled]

[whapswithakey]

Sweet! Thanks!

[More fumbling and he finally gets the attachments.]

Oooh! That's what it looks like. I get it now!
