-esting, testing...

...

Okay. There we go.

If anyone can hear this, where the hell am I?!

[ooc - Miki here is not the Miki anyone would have known. Namely, she is rebooted from the previous version played since ... well, forever. All she knows is up to the end of Savers, Yggdrasil going boom, and Masaru taking a hike into the Digital World. COMMENCE CONFUSION.]

... D-Comm? The digivice-like thing that's always at your side? Looks like a phone? Disturbingly temperamental?

[black_chesspiece]

No, I... Yoshino what are you talking abou-- the thing I'm talking into?

...wait, Digivice... Where the hell is my Digivice?!

[isnottheworst]

...

Miki... errr, Kurosaki-san.

What's the last thing you remember happening?

[black_chesspiece]

What kind of a question is that? Did you forget the end of the world, or something?

[isnottheworst]

... did the end of the world involve a giant multi-headed monster, or the digital world crashing into the earth?

[black_chesspiece]

...Digital World crashing into the earth...

[isnottheworst]

... I see.

Miki. Um.

You're in another universe. Another Digital World.

And um.

It's one where a version of you has already been here...

[black_chesspiece]

...

What.

[isnottheworst]

Miki, why would I make something like this up?

[black_chesspiece]

...well. Point. It just... doesn't make any...

Urgh.

Okay. Explain.

[isnottheworst]

... This is another Digital World. It's connected to lots of other realities. Like other universes with digimon in them, or some that don't have them at all.

And... well, there are sometimes different versions of the same world. You're an alternate version of the Miki I've known for the last several years...

[black_chesspiece]

Okay, I get THAT, but why is THAT GUY talking to me like he's the Captain?

[isnottheworst]

... Ivan, Kouki, and Nanami have changed a lot in the last few years. They've joined the version of DATS we've set up here... or Kouki had for a while...

But. They're not the people they used to be, more or less.

[black_chesspiece]

...really.

ALL of them are here? And one of them is a COMMANDER?

Yoshino, just what on earth has HAPPENED here?

[isnottheworst]

...

A lot, Miki.

Far, far too much to talk about over the phone.

It's been over four years for us, Miki.

[black_chesspiece]

...apparently...

Okay, so THOSE three are here... and you say there's a DATS...

Captain Satsuma? Commander Yushima? Touma? Masaru? Ikuto?

[isnottheworst]

All of them are here, save Ikuto... also Chika-chan, Sayuri-san...

...

... and Kurata.

[black_chesspiece]

But... he's dead! We saw him die!

...

Though... I guess that light could have been anything...

[isnottheworst]

Even then, people who have died have been brought back by the version of Yggdrasil that controls this place.

...

Kurata isn't... the only problem though. Though...

... Look, we should meet up.

I'll explain more in person, okay? Once I've figured out what's going on with my family, I mean...

[black_chesspiece]

...right...

...

...wait? Your family's here?

[isnottheworst]

... my sister was here briefly, but, um, what I mean is...

...

Um. Miki, this is one of those "explained better in person" things...

[black_chesspiece]

Your si-...

You know what, right. Better explained in person.

[isnottheworst]

I'll see you soon then, I guess...
