[There is a very... confused looking man on the network today. Well. Confused might not be the right word. Pissed off is actually closer to it.

Pissed off and cold.

Shaggy black hair, eye patch, blue military uniform are in view, and behind him... the stark white landscape of Meria. He's not shivering, but the wind is blowing at him something fierce.

He narrows his eyes and tilts the D-Comm around a few times until he finally focuses it on himself fully.]

I found this... thing in my pocket, and I'm assuming it's some sort of communication device.

With that in mind. I just have one question and one question only.



WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

There's just one thing you need to know before I get there.

This isn't your world.

[honootaisa]

... hn.

[grunts]

I kind of figured that out when you said "Meria", and this weird thing was in my pocket... though it's as damn cold as Briggs here!

[don't worry, he'll have a break down about it later.]

Where is it then?

[dogsaredelicious]

It's called the Digital World. It's made from data from something called "computers."

[honootaisa]

... yeah, that... went right over my head.

I take it's not the place Fullmetal wound up in?

[dogsaredelicious]

Join the club.

Nope. Completely different place. This one is full of creatures called "digimon."

[honootaisa]

... is that what this thing is?

[moves his D-Comm down to show an Agumon in a bomber jacket, with a cigarette some how in it's mouth, looking none too pleased about being in the cold either.]

[dogsaredelicious]

... Huh.

Havoc, how did you get all the way out there?

[honootaisa]

... what?

Don't ask me, chief. I just woke up in the snow next to this lug with random amnesia.

... your name is Havoc?

You named me that.

... I... am so utterly confused.

[dogsaredelicious]

... Okay, first lesson? Yggdrasil? The guy who brought us here?

Is a dick.

[honootaisa]

... there's actually some one responsible for this nonsense?

[dogsaredelicious]

He's a tree.

Yeah, I know.

[honootaisa]

... a tree.

[dogsaredelicious]

Yeah.

Weird, I know.

[honootaisa]

... a tree.

[dogsaredelicious]

Look, I don't know how to explain what it really is. But they treat him like a god or something, alright? His name is Yggdrasil.

[honootaisa]

A god?

... [unamused snort]

Some god.

[dogsaredelicious]

Yeah.

But he's not the one you're supposed to watch out for.

[honootaisa]

Oh? And why is that?

[dogsaredelicious]

Let's just say this place has a collection of psychopaths that could make the old Furher look like a two-bit hood.

[honootaisa]

... well. That's just peachy. I have half a mind to blame Fullmetal for this even if he isn't here. This sounds like the sort of mess he would wind up involved in without even trying.

[dogsaredelicious]

Yeah, it kinda does.

I hear a version if him was here once upon a time though.

[honootaisa]

Well. That figures.

[a heavy sigh]

I suppose there's more to tell me?

[dogsaredelicious]

Yeah, but it should probably wait till you're not freezing to death.

[honootaisa]

Yes. I suppose I'll see you soon then.
