I didn't dedigivolve. [ The distinct vibe of somebody joking, even though her face does not articulate at all. ]

It doesn't feel like anything to me.

[hanaban]

What's "dedigivolve"?

[ he waves his hands through the glitchy squares again, scooping his fingers like he's trying to catch some of it ]

[alphainforce]

Essentially, it's getting smaller.

[ It distorts as his fingers go through it, but he can't scoop it up. The distortion effect seems localized to her body. ]

[hanaban]

[ Fancy term for a simple concept.

Hanako takes a step back and looks up (and up and up) at Snake ]

You should just go rampaging outside. Being stuck in one building the entire time gets boring fast. I'd know.

[alphainforce]

[ If she was at home she'd just turn into a small purple dragon. This is what nerfing has taken from her. ]

Hm? I can leave the Speedway if I'd like. Most of the city isn't made for people of my size.

[ It's all very human sized. ]

[hanaban]

[



then why is she staying here!!! ]

Let's go to the beach!

[alphainforce]

[ There's very little she actually minds. ]

Alright.

[ She'll offer him a hand up, so he can climb onto her shoulder before walking off in that direction. ]

[hanaban]

[ Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh today Hanako is living his little kid dreams, sitting on Snake's shoulder and pretending to be a mecha pilot ]

Snake, you're super cool and super smart. How come you're not the leader of the leaders?

[alphainforce]

I'm not used to working with a team. Most of what I did before this was coordination and investigation.

[ It's simply not in her area of expertise. ]

[hanaban]

Kinda like me, then.

[ more the solo actor than anything else ]

But "coordination" makes it sound like you work with other people.

[alphainforce]

I had an assistant, but we're pursuing different paths now.

[ A large robot can make their way over to the beach so quickly. ]

[hanaban]

[ that's great, because I have zero concept of time and space ]

What were you before coming here? Danny said something about you being a car?

[alphainforce]

I'm a Digimon, or a Digital Monster. I'm not really a car, but some of my data was stored within it.

[ She'll give him a hand down to the beach, if that's where he wants to go. ]

[hanaban]

Mm... I don't get it. But that's okay!

[ He does not get down from her shoulder. Maybe he'll just stay up here forever. ]

I'm guessing you can't swim, huh? Think you're heavy enough to sink all the way to the bottom?

[alphainforce]

[ He has a party to get to. ]

You'll drown.

[ She, on the other hand, does not need to breathe. ]

[hanaban]

...oh yeah.

[ it's so easy to forget that breathing is something he has to do now

... ]

Hey, Snake? You get along with your team, right?
