First Beat - Video

[When the feed flips on it's slightly tilted, showing mostly dark cloudy sky and a bit of green fur.]

I...think I understand how to use it now. Just speak as I would normally?

[The picture straightens to show a green hedgehog with blue eyes and very unruly-looking quills. He's looking a little dubiously at the screen and doesn't immediately speak up. Then he clears his throat.]

I am new here and was hoping for information about this place. Anyone willing to spare a moment of your time?

I see. [He goes quiet for a moment, thinking on things.]

Perhaps you are from later on in time. I have been told people may be drawn here at different times from each other.

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

Is that true?

[It would explain things...but not make it easier.]

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

From what I have been told, yes. And you seem to prove it.

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

If that's true. suppose I can't help it...

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

Though if what you say is true, then I cannot simply turn a blind eye. I will continue to train you here, in this world.

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

You will?

[That makes him look disbelieving, but not in a skeptical way.]

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

It is my duty as a knight to fulfill my obligations. If I promised this to you, then I shall continue to serve as your teacher.

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

I am grateful, but is it really important to uphold something you haven't started yet?

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

A true Knight keeps all vows; be them past, present, or future.

[Anything Mordred might have said is interrupted by a roll of thunder. Then the sky decides to open up on his head]

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

...There is an inn that accepts newcomers to this world for no fee. I can direct you so you may get out of the sudden downpour.

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

Thank you. If you would.

[The downpour has plastered his quills to his head and he'd like to get out of the rain.]

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

Tell your digimon partner to show you how to accept what I am about to send.

[Attached: Coordinates and a map marker on his D-Comm for the Hyperion Hotel.]

Use the magical map upon the device. It will show you how to reach the Inn.

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

We've gotten it. Thanks.

[The Taukaimon is studying him intently.]

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

You are welcome. I am at the inn now. I await your arrival. [And he studies you right back, Tsukaimon.]

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

[Seemingly satisfied, he nods and passes the D-Comm back to Mordred.]

Okay. We will be there soon...thank you.

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

You are welcome Mordred. I await our meeting.

[bastard_hedgehog]

[When he reaches the inn, he seems a little awed by it, but his partner is perfectly indifferent and more interested in his new Tamer.]

[Lancelot walks into the lobby and spots the green hedgehog. He walks over and gives a nod.]

You have arrived. Good. If you wish to stay here there is one test you must pass.

[Action]

[bastard_hedgehog]

A test?

[Mordred brushes his dripping quills back as Tsukaimon turns his attention to the knight again.]

Re: [Action]

[knight_of_the_lake]

All who wish to stay here must pass the innkeeper's challenge. He is a demon who can read beings by hearing them sing. He will read you and determine if you are worthy enough to stay.

[Action]

[bastard_hedgehog]

That is fair enough. I can take the test.

Re: [Action]

[knight_of_the_lake]

Very well. Follow me.

[Lancelot turns around and leads Mordred through the lobby and towards the bar entrance. At this time of day, it was where the innkeeper would most likely be.]

\[Action]

[bastard_hedgehog]

[Following quietly, he studies Lancelot from behind thoughtfully. Would it still be prudent to try and get close to him here?]

Re: \[Action]

[knight_of_the_lake]

[Lancelot led him down into the tavern part of the Inn, looking around the the innkeeper.]
