Chaos Crew 2
Little Chomp and Lio the Lion set out together to explore the digital and human worlds in a homebrewed ttrpg system based on Digimon Beatbreak. Follow Shelbie Koji, Wispy, and Sangomon as they fight the chaos that threatens to destroy everything they love, form bonds strong enough to stand the tests of time... and do their best to get to work on time so they won't end up fired.

Shelbie and Wispy head to her parents' house, so she can tell them about her near death experience, and the theft of all her money, and the issues with party-planning, and the new threats in her daily life... but things don't go quite the way she hoped they would...
In the digital world, Sangomon follows her new friends Ludomon and Subamon to meet their leader Spadamon in their super-secret, super-cool base.
The Digimon system we're using is being homebrewed by Lio as we play test it. Our theme song and graphics were made using AI, and the background music in most episodes comes from M4S on Spotify.
Hi, it's Little Jump, and welcome back to the Chaos Crew 2. Last time on Digimon, Wispy got into his first real fight and defeated a champion-level Digimon named Ogremon, so that's great. Shelby managed to shove the in-training form Punamon into her briefcase and get to the board meeting on time to figure out if she still even has a job. Meanwhile, Songomon and Polio went to Elecmon's house and he tried to tell us some stuff about what was going on, and Polio asked about the Digidestin, but Songomon kind of wandered off because, you know, nobody was paying attention to her. Well, she's a baby. They uh left just in time for Polio to get shot by somebody, and Songomon ran away in panic because that's what Mr. Polio said to do. Back in the human world, Shelby told the board why she wanted to be a teacher and asked for the chance to serve the rest of her first year, the probationary one, just to see if she could balance being a teacher and a cleaner at the same time. Uh, Mrs. Umaga, the new head of the board, agreed to this. And Isobe, the teacher union representative, said that he's gonna get a teacher's aide to cover for her if she has to leave during the day. So they gave her the rest of the day off, and she took Punamon to the Ministry of Civil Protection to turn it in. Found out how bounties work, kind of, and that she had done it wrong, but hey, half price is half price. Meanwhile, back in the digital world, Sangomon ran all the way to Mount Miyarashi, where she met two other Digimon, Ludamon and Zubamon, who uh decided to be her best friends and offered to take her to their leader, but only if she renames herself Koromon, because their leader's name starts with an S and they don't need another S. So that's where Songamon is. Shelby's on her way to her parents' house to um, you know, tell them what happened yesterday, and you know, somehow or another, it'll work out.
SPEAKER_18Uh, where do we wanna pick up today? We're gonna pick up with Shelby.
SPEAKER_03Okay, I'm on my way to my parents' house.
SPEAKER_18You're heading to your parents' house.
SPEAKER_03Yep. Waiting for you to say I don't have a map for that.
SPEAKER_18I have a map for that.
SPEAKER_03And like, I don't think anything's gonna top the completely unrecorded loss to history session one where you were half asleep the whole time.
SPEAKER_18And uh Hey, I still You did great! I still bald at that. But um fantastic session. I sat there and was like, yeah, shit's going down. Didjamen.
SPEAKER_26Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_18Um cool.
SPEAKER_03So And that's how I ruined my life by giving an old man twenty bucks. Holy cow! I knew my parents were rich, but look at this place!
SPEAKER_18Yeah.
SPEAKER_25Oh my gosh!
SPEAKER_18It's time.
SPEAKER_05Okay. Uh well now that there's pressure on the scene. Uh I assume the entrance is up at the top.
SPEAKER_18Yep. Uh so just up here is where you would enter in.
SPEAKER_03Yep. Uh, is Wispy invisible right now? Yes. Okay, I'll put him down so we can both move him.
SPEAKER_18But I'm fine! Knock as uh one of the cleaners open the door as Like a robot? Oh! Miss Miss Shelby, come in, come in. Your parents are out the back.
SPEAKER_03Oh, like a servant.
SPEAKER_18Yeah. But A and not fucked.
SPEAKER_03I just assumed that they had robots. They have actual people.
SPEAKER_18Actually, no, you know what? Yeah, the door opens as you hear a ching. Hello, Miss Shelby. Welcome.
SPEAKER_02It's like a roombo with thumbs.
SPEAKER_15Welcome home.
SPEAKER_18It's been a while. Shall I make you a drink?
SPEAKER_03Yes, actually. Um What recipes do you have loaded right now?
SPEAKER_18I have seven thousand and forty-two recipes loaded.
SPEAKER_24Oh, right.
SPEAKER_03Just take cold grapefruit juice with um like lemon lime soda in it.
SPEAKER_18Of course. Shall I alert your father that you are here? He's currently in the study. Your mother is by the pool.
SPEAKER_22Yo, where's the study?
SPEAKER_18Down the bottom by the pool.
SPEAKER_03Oh. Okay, okay. Um you know what I'll just I'll just go to the study myself and um you can bring the drink there.
SPEAKER_18Understood. Um. Preparing drink. Crispy starts looking through doors and stuff.
SPEAKER_03Is he invisible or visible?
SPEAKER_18He comes visible now.
SPEAKER_03Uh. Try not to break anything. Um. No, I can't tell you that because you won't be able to tell which room was mine. Uh. Yeah, I mean.
SPEAKER_18You know that when you moved out, they uh your father straight up changed your room.
SPEAKER_24Hmm. Hmm.
SPEAKER_18He's not super sentimental.
SPEAKER_03Mm-hmm. Okay. Cool. In my head, I thought there was gonna be like this one room that had all of her wardrobe still in it because she didn't want it, but I guess not. Um, I'll let him know.
SPEAKER_18Your father threw that. He thought that that was the reasonable thing to do.
SPEAKER_03Okay, great. I'll let Wispy know that I'm gonna be over there somewhere, and then just uh let him flow through walls, because this is a thing he does.
SPEAKER_18Yeah. So he heads out. You head down as uh you arrive further down. Uh yeah. You'd see your father's office, uh, the door is closed. Uh he seems uh as you get closer, it opens up. He seems engrossed in something on a computer, doesn't even notice that you're there.
SPEAKER_03Alright. Um, I'm just gonna walk in quietly. So the door will also shut.
SPEAKER_18Mm-hmm. Still doesn't seem to notice you.
SPEAKER_03And gives me a minute to try to figure out where to even start. Um, I feel like for going to work today, Shelby probably actually uh you know, used makeup to try to hide all the cuts on her face and everything. But by now it's probably messed up. So like half obvious, I don't know.
SPEAKER_16Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Um. Can I see what he's engrossed in as I get a little bit closer?
SPEAKER_18Roll me a brains check. Your dad's work has always been a bit of like something odd. Like, it's always a point of contention of like what the fuck does he really do? Cause it's just confusing somewhat.
SPEAKER_03Uh ten. And I gotta think, did I have three adversity left over from last session? Probably. I'm gonna bump that to six and assume I did not remember to add my three full session, so. Um do I want a ladder brings to twelve? Something. Shh sure. Why not?
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_25One.
SPEAKER_1820. You look over. You'd see your father's working on uh certain things. Uh one second. So yeah, you would know that he is working on something to do with uh he's currently working on uh structural physics. Uh dis Disiate reality and quantized terrain hypothesis is what the project's called. Uh it's something to do with uh different rendered zones as well as essentially something to do with something being created sort of like a um Say pocket dimension a pocket dimension that is yeah, pocket dimension that is rendering in continuous time. So it's not actually there, but it renders as it comes up.
SPEAKER_03I want that to be the mirror world, but I think that might just be me.
SPEAKER_18You very much think that that sounds something like the mirror world.
SPEAKER_03Doesn't it though?
SPEAKER_18It does. Hands down. Uh you're very much like in that zone where you're like, I've experienced something similar.
SPEAKER_03And I think that's the main thing that helps is like, oh, I was just there two hours ago.
SPEAKER_18Which does mean your father probably has experience with fucking uh research uh with Digimon of some nature. Uh you know that he does he is contracted to public services. Uh but yeah, he's still engrossed in his work, just completely focused. Doesn't even see you at the moment.
SPEAKER_03Um, there's two ways to play this. I can either say something.
SPEAKER_04Or I can text him because I assume he won't hear that faster, but they both feel dysfunctional.
SPEAKER_18They both definitely are dysfunctional.
SPEAKER_26Um just because I think it's worse, I'm gonna get out my sapotama and I'm going to text him like we need to talk. At your earliest convenience.
SPEAKER_18And sends a ding. He sits there, picks it up off the table, looks at it, reads it. Uh you see him sit there as he. Uh Antonio, send text to Shelby. Shelby, uh, this is your father. Oh. I I just received your message. I oh. I too am eager to talk. There is plenty to understand about your mother's uh upcoming birthday and the party in which you were planning. If you wish to make a reservation for my time, I have certain uh space to talk between 7 and uh 745 today. Uh otherwise, if you could email me uh possible times that would work for you, that would be fantastic.
SPEAKER_04What time is it?
SPEAKER_18My current email is uh Zebastian Voc 747 at yahoo.com.
SPEAKER_05Why the heck is that his email? That's not his name.
SPEAKER_18That's not his name.
SPEAKER_05That's not his name at all.
SPEAKER_07Um also what time is it?
SPEAKER_18It is like midday.
SPEAKER_07That's what I thought, okay. Uh oh wait for Antonio to send that.
SPEAKER_18Uh if you need anything else, please, or any money injection or such, please feel free to let me know. Uh I hope you are doing well. Uh read that back to me, Antonio. Of course, reads it all back. Delete. Okay, when would you like to talk? Send.
SPEAKER_24Ding!
SPEAKER_18As ching He checks his phone and see That's weird. Puts it down and just color.
SPEAKER_06Oh my god.
SPEAKER_05Why is this so bad? We never talk, we clearly never talk.
SPEAKER_18I don't think this man talks to a lot of people.
SPEAKER_03Now would be good.
SPEAKER_18You send that back?
SPEAKER_03No, I said that.
SPEAKER_18Turns and looks and see Ah, Shelby.
SPEAKER_07Hi!
SPEAKER_18That seemed very aggressive that you would text me whilst in the room. Very uh very inconsiderate of the time. How can I help, Shelby, as he sits up?
SPEAKER_03No, I just I know that you can get focused, and sometimes the alert on your Sapotama actually breaks you out of it, so I thought it would help.
SPEAKER_26Okay.
SPEAKER_18He's just staring. There's no further comment to that.
SPEAKER_03Right after our call yesterday, I got attacked in an alley and I almost died, and then I got drugged by a stranger and taken to a veterinarian and healed as well as I could, and now I have a Digimon, and I almost got fired, but talked my way out of it today, and somebody robbed me, and I'm completely broke.
SPEAKER_17Regarding this mugging?
SPEAKER_24I mean it. It wasn't a mugging.
SPEAKER_03I don't know how somebody accessed my account overnight. But no, I have not been to the police because apparently they had all of my login criteria, so the bank thinks it's fine.
SPEAKER_18I see. Uh he picks up his phone as he, Antonio. Please put a reminder for me to call uh Hagadashi Bank so I can put in uh reports of fraud and uh fraudulent transactions as he puts it down as he Oh, that's unfortunate. Are you hurt? Did this vet help you in some manner? What drugs were used? I don't think the random guy on the street draw and pulls out a thing as he puts it on the table as he this is Narcan. Uh it might be necessary over the next few days for you to use it.
unknownCool.
SPEAKER_18In regards to your drug use.
SPEAKER_03Alright, um no, I was laying on the ground struggling to breathe and stuff, and then uh homeless guy and his I understand.
SPEAKER_18You need to go no further as he gets up very awkwardly and hugs you as he it is okay. We'll go to the police, we will find this homeless man, he will not get away with this.
SPEAKER_03Uh, he saved my life.
SPEAKER_18Let's see. The end of that sentence. From another homeless man?
SPEAKER_03From uh Digimon.
SPEAKER_17Hmm. I see.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so when I called you and I said I didn't want to talk in an alley, and then I told you that meant I was on the train, it didn't, it meant I was in an alley, but I thought you'd be disappointed in me. So I told you.
SPEAKER_18So this is my fault.
SPEAKER_03I did not say it was your fault, I said I lied.
SPEAKER_18I'm having trouble processing your emotion right now.
SPEAKER_03Um I don't understand why you are thinking this would be your fault.
SPEAKER_18It seems like you're yelling at me.
SPEAKER_03I almost died, and so I've gotten a little yelly. But that's not because of anything you did. It's just very scary and overwhelming, and it's just been a lot.
SPEAKER_24No.
SPEAKER_03See. The Digimon wanted to eat my e-pulse or something.
SPEAKER_18And I tried to fight it, and that did not go well, and then I almost died, and then the homeless man who had a Digimon came and fought it off, and then He opens the drawer again and pulls out uh tablets as he puts them a little pillbox in front as he uses diazepab. Uh this can help you relax. Uh, take it in short it is short-term management for anxiety. I wouldn't stay on it for long term. It may cause drowsiness, fatigue, and muscle weakness.
SPEAKER_24Why do you just have the stuff?
SPEAKER_18I have lots of things, darling. It's one of the few things that I'm always assured of. Um preparation is required in my line of work.
SPEAKER_03Okay, if you could just like stop pulling out drugs every few sentences, this would be better.
SPEAKER_18I understand. Would you uh Antonio, uh, can you please get me Dr. Richter's number? Uh he's a great therapist. He I'm sure he can assist you in some way. Uh send it straight to Shelby Sapotama. Meanwhile, in fucking Digimon Land goes off.
SPEAKER_04In Digimon Land what?
SPEAKER_18A ping go a little ping goes off on an egg.
SPEAKER_03I thought we got my new egg set to my number and stuff.
SPEAKER_18No, you because yours is still active.
SPEAKER_03Well, I know that.
SPEAKER_18So you can't share the same number, unfortunately.
SPEAKER_03Okay, so what do I have access to on mine?
SPEAKER_18You have access to all your accounts and things like that, but it's just you would have had it's like getting a new phone. You would have had to have gotten a new SIM card. So you would have gotten a new number.
SPEAKER_03But when he messaged me just now, it went to this one.
SPEAKER_23So why did the message from Antonio go to the other one?
SPEAKER_18You're right, it didn't go to this one.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_18Yeah. Oh that was a great point. My apology. Yeah, I definitely didn't ping you. Um you probably need to- Definitely nobody else has tried messaging you today.
SPEAKER_03Probably need to update my number.
SPEAKER_18Oh no, it would have gone to you. Sorry. Uh, he has your number. They had to call him to fix it.
SPEAKER_26Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_18So never mind.
SPEAKER_26Okay, so he's like the only one with this number. Good.
SPEAKER_18Yeah. Him and his sobe.
SPEAKER_03Only people I need. Who else would I want to talk to? Meanwhile, my college friends are like, why are you ghosting me? Oh my gosh, I thought we were friends.
SPEAKER_18Oh, oh my god, Shelby hates us guys.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
SPEAKER_18Would you like a drink?
SPEAKER_03There's already one coming.
SPEAKER_18Uh, you do see at this point a little robot butler comes in with a tray.
SPEAKER_26Just hold my hand out.
SPEAKER_18Hands it up. Uh yeah. Keep getting your drink a seat. I see. Uh perhaps you should take a seat. There is no seats in here because I don't sit in this room.
SPEAKER_03Where would you like to sit?
SPEAKER_18Maybe you can sit on the floor. Would that help?
SPEAKER_03Sure! I will sit on the floor. Drink my juice. My neon colored clothes! Actually, no, I'm not in my neon-colored clothes. I was at work today.
SPEAKER_17We're at work today.
SPEAKER_03That means I'm in my work outfit sitting on the wall.
SPEAKER_18I think perhaps in situations like these, if you've been attacked, it would be best to go home and take some rest. You can always plan your mother's party tomorrow.
SPEAKER_03I can't! I don't have money for that, and now I have to work two jobs. So I understand.
SPEAKER_18You're gonna have to put it. Does something, and then you hear a ding on your thing as you just hear ching ching ching ching. I've transferred uh a thousand dollars. Would that be enough?
SPEAKER_03I don't know. I didn't even get to look at the list of everything I was supposed to arrange before I got my ching ching.
SPEAKER_18I sent another thousand dollars.
SPEAKER_03Can you send another copy of the stuff? Because all I know is balloon arch.
SPEAKER_18Of course. Uh it sends through the thing. Is there anything besides a balloon arch that we should get? It is a list with like balloon arch, drinks and food.
SPEAKER_03I thought there were party favor gifts that she had mentioned or something.
SPEAKER_18There is a link to an Amazon gift.
SPEAKER_05I will open the wish list and just look and see roughly how expensive the stuff is.
SPEAKER_18These are fairly uh most of this shit is like stuff that he has put there, like pencils calculator. Thinking that this is what she wants.
SPEAKER_20Okay.
SPEAKER_18You can actually write off the uh the third thing on that wish list, uh the just uh the garbage bag disposal uh the garbage disposal bags. Uh I bought them already. As he holds up a package that is very shin very like nicely wrapped. It is garbage bags. He's going to give your mother garbage bags for her birthday.
SPEAKER_24How's your marriage going?
SPEAKER_18I believe it. That's not really something we should talk about.
SPEAKER_03Why? If you get a divorce, it affects me.
SPEAKER_18I believe you're an adult. I don't think that's how that works.
SPEAKER_27You will disone whichever one of us you like least after the divorce, Shelby. It's fine.
SPEAKER_26I'm sorry, I've been through a lot. I'm just um I lost a little bit of decorum along the way. I'll get it back. It's fine.
SPEAKER_18I understand. You've always been very irrational, much like your mother. Um you two are very emotionally high strung. Very intense people.
SPEAKER_23Hmm. Alright, I'll stay in love. Well, I told one of you.
SPEAKER_18This has been fun. Um also push yourself to two resources again.
SPEAKER_03Oh, wow. I mean, I have to turn around and spend one of them on this party, but it's nice to have. Yes.
SPEAKER_18For now. You could avoid spending the money, it's just a factor of like real dick move.
SPEAKER_03Alright. I mean, just write down that I went up to two, and the one of them is for the party. Um, no, you can get back to your mirror world's research stuff, and I'll gesture at the screen and then just.
SPEAKER_18How do you know that that is what I'm researching?
SPEAKER_03Hmm?
SPEAKER_18How do you know that is what I'm researching?
SPEAKER_03I just assumed there was only one pocket dimension phenomena in existence, but like, uh it could be more, I suppose. I don't know. It could be something else.
SPEAKER_18Um I'm not looking into the mirror world, as you call it. Regardless. Okay. Uh, this has been informative. Um thank you for visiting me.
SPEAKER_03I can tell it made you real happy.
SPEAKER_18Would you like some taffy? I keep some taffy in here. Opens the drawer again and pulls out taffy.
SPEAKER_03You know what? Sure. And I'll take your drugs too, just in case I go into some sort of attack or have trouble sleeping or whatever.
SPEAKER_18Very good. That sounds like a prominent idea. However, do note that these are not benzoad uh benzodines, they are not for sleeping. As he pulls out another thing, these are benzo benzodaz. That's fine.
SPEAKER_03No, no, no. You just said it could cause fatigue, but also you shouldn't.
SPEAKER_18If it calms down anxiety, then I shouldn't have diazepam.
SPEAKER_26Yeah.
SPEAKER_18In fact, you probably just keep those.
SPEAKER_26Just keep those.
SPEAKER_18You probably shouldn't uh take the diazepam whilst you're drinking as well. As he looks very judgingly at the drink in your hand.
SPEAKER_03Oh my god. I will shove it into his hand. Taste it!
SPEAKER_18Not one to share drinks to Shelby, I think.
SPEAKER_03If it's as alcoholic as you think it is, you should be safe.
SPEAKER_17I'm not uh I am six years sober, Shelby.
SPEAKER_03It's soda and juice, dad.
SPEAKER_17I see.
SPEAKER_03I have to drive home.
SPEAKER_17Uh I understand. Of course. My apologies.
SPEAKER_03I'll just leave it on his desk and leave.
SPEAKER_18You leave. It's a very awkward interaction here.
SPEAKER_07Well, yes, but I wasn't expecting him to be like, I see that you are experiencing stress from nearly dying. Here is a therapist.
SPEAKER_05Well I mean I know you expect but like after that, where are you supposed to go? There's only so much bonding you can do if somebody's like, please don't speak with me about this topic. Please.
SPEAKER_03Go ahead.
SPEAKER_18Yeah. As you leave there, where are you heading?
SPEAKER_03I guess I will talk to mom as well.
SPEAKER_18Cool.
SPEAKER_09You head down into the wall instead of going over and through the hallway.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Like, I'm not gonna in universe jump over the wall. I'm just not moving my token at all for RP.
SPEAKER_03Does she notice me coming? Or is she so engrossed in whatever this is?
SPEAKER_18She is just relaxing by the pool. She has headphones on at the moment and seems to just be like sitting there. She doesn't notice you because she's not very, like switched on here. Also, that's not a wall, that's a door.
SPEAKER_03Oh. Well, I just wasn't gonna move all the way, but sure. I come through the door like a sane person. Yeah. I will just I want to walk into peripheral vision and just see if she sees me, honestly, because like right now it's just rough.
SPEAKER_18She looks as she Oh! Oh, and she quickly takes off her headphones. Uh sitting up is she. Hi! Uh Shelby, what are you doing here?
SPEAKER_15Uh you look good. You look uh you're looking a little thin, but you're looking good.
SPEAKER_18Have you been eating much?
SPEAKER_24Not so much the last two days. No.

SPEAKER_15You're you're currently living in a very rough neighborhood. You're going to a very harsh school. Hun, you can move back in here. I can get your thing, I can get you new things.
SPEAKER_18We can set you up uh in the room C over uh the way.
SPEAKER_15You can have uh we can get rid of the gym equipment, we don't even use it. It's fine. And then you can be back and we can bake some things together.

SPEAKER_03Um I still really want to actually finish out a school year in my job, Mom. I worked really hard.
SPEAKER_15You can we can get you a job in the Shangri Lag as a team.
SPEAKER_03That's next year. So as you can see.
SPEAKER_18We don't need to wait the year we can transfer now.
SPEAKER_08No.
SPEAKER_15You're just learning bad habits at this place. What? Teachers that are threatening students. I can only imagine the staff that they have over there. It's probably subpar, uh underfunded, they're probably half-cocked. People, your school has less I've read some statistics on it. It has less people going into the Shangri Lag than any other uh school in the county. It's it's a very low-grade place. We should Yes, Mom. We can definitely move you up in this uh up, which will have a lot better effect on your future so that people can see that you are capable of working outside of the low lowest tier of things.
SPEAKER_10Oh what are you laughing at?
SPEAKER_23Everything there is so much going through my head where it's just like she can't say that, she can't say that, she can't say that.
SPEAKER_03This has probably been a pattern. But I mean you are giving me so much.
SPEAKER_18She has all the best intentions in the world. She's just problematic.
SPEAKER_03No, they both are. Um, but you've given me so much to work with for why is my relationship with them tense?
SPEAKER_07This is great.
SPEAKER_17I'm glad.
SPEAKER_03Okay, um Right, let's let's just uh not do that right now. I have other stuff that I need to do, including apparently going to the police station. So I am gonna head out. Um but I am coming to your birthday party next week, so we can catch up then. And um That'd be awesome.

SPEAKER_18That's right. Uh as Coralmon, you along with Zubomon and uh Ludomon enter into a very like densely packed cave inside Mount Miharashi. You'd see all these things as Ludomon sits there turning to you to see, well you gotta wipe your foot before you step on uh step into the carpet or something uh saying man, it's not cool.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_03On this rug.
SPEAKER_18Okay, that's good. As soon as you step off, you step into dirt.

SPEAKER_18No, they do it as well.
SPEAKER_27I am so tempted to be like step in dirt, wipe feet, step in dirt, wipe feet.
SPEAKER_05Let me check and see what her brains are so I know because I'm not gonna be obnoxious on purpose, but you know.
SPEAKER_03D12 brains, okay. Um, we're gonna make like a little a little jet of water to just kind of like mud. Regret! But it's okay.

SPEAKER_20Chairs don't have names there.

SPEAKER_08I'm still just trying to find Digitestin, but I don't know what they are.
SPEAKER_18Didestin! He slams his knife into the table as Ludomon gets up and pushes his chair over. Zudomon sits there and say, Oh! And pulls out a tea set and starts pouring tea and then throws the tea onto the ground.
SPEAKER_05Okay, sorry, can I have the cute little guy's name? The new one.
SPEAKER_18So this one is Spartimon. Sparta, god. This one is Ludamon. And this one here is Zubamon.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, the names from the other two written down from last session, I just forgot what Spartimon was called because I didn't write it down since I animately.
SPEAKER_18As Spartamon said Thursday, the Digidestin are not our friends.
SPEAKER_19The Digidestin are mortal enemies of ZLC. Sorry, ZLS. I got ahead of myself. As you need to be careful, Coromon. Because we, as a collective group, decide what happens here.
SPEAKER_18Somebody, can we like put the table back upright? As Ludamon and Lumamon sit there and just free realign it. Tell us your tale, Coromon.
SPEAKER_19Tell us why you're here.
SPEAKER_08Okay. So, um yesterday I had um an I uh I found my person and I love them very much. And then um, we're talking to this other person named Folio, who's really tasty actually, and pretty nice, I guess. And then decided I would travel with Polio and Shelby will travel with Rispy, and then um, we're gonna do something, but I wasn't listening because Elecmon was really mad at me, so I went.
SPEAKER_18He runs around duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck. I need to roll a 1v3. These are children. Oh shit. One. Alright.
SPEAKER_14Duck goosh! I'm gonna roll flight check first, flight check.

SPEAKER_08Wait, the side chair, the important one? Like if I end up over there in my charge.
SPEAKER_18It means you're running the meeting, yes.
SPEAKER_08Ooh. Okay. Um, right, so then, um, we were in Alecman's house, but he was being mean to me, and so I went upstairs and I didn't listen to why we needed to find the Dingestined, and then we left the house, and then Polier got attacked.
SPEAKER_18Dingestined paused he and froze there.
SPEAKER_08And then Polier got attacked by uh horseman and um something else that I didn't see really well, cause the horseman was the one that made the arrows, and and I break!

SPEAKER_03Tag You wanna roll too, so mad, but it's just these two having a little battle oils.
SPEAKER_18He does not like that uh Ludomong caught him. He did it again! Ludamong catches him and see No!
SPEAKER_19NOT my pride!
SPEAKER_18I see. Ludamon super fast. It was bad. They were both like falling over each other.
SPEAKER_19Well, your ideas of finding the digitest seem dumb. You should just stop doing that. You should come join our gang. We need to get back to we can rule the digital world together.
SPEAKER_08I'm supposed to go back to Shelby in two months.
SPEAKER_19Shel I don't know what this Shelby is.
SPEAKER_18Pete oh, as Zubermon sparks in. People will just let you down, Coromon.
SPEAKER_19They come here and then they get girlfriends and then they give up caring.
SPEAKER_08I don't think Shelby has a girlfriend.
SPEAKER_19Yet you never know!
SPEAKER_08I mean she Well, okay, I only knew her for five minutes, so I don't really know how many friends she actually has.
SPEAKER_18She might she might have hundreds of friends. And she might consider you the lowest and the worst of her friends. After all, she gave you away.
SPEAKER_19No. Does that not make you angry, Coralmon?
SPEAKER_08No, because I was coming back.
SPEAKER_19Were you? Or was that just an excuse? The excuse they give you, like I'm going to get some milk, uh, Zubamon.
SPEAKER_18I'm just going to get milk. Just stay here and wait for me, Zubamon.
SPEAKER_19I promise I'll come back. And then they never do.
SPEAKER_05Okay. Um, what's the closest thing to insight?
SPEAKER_18Grit.
SPEAKER_03This is D4. Don't hold your breath. Okay, wait. I have one. We're gonna ladder that.
SPEAKER_18Cool. So a six, you sit there. Does he need a hug?
SPEAKER_27That's the question.
SPEAKER_11Possibly, yeah.
SPEAKER_27Alright, I'm gonna I'm gonna hug him while he's in the hole.
SPEAKER_23Like, you just stay here, Lunaman, I'll be back. He sounds sad enough, so I'ma hop off the chair and come over and hug him.
SPEAKER_19There you go, Roman.
SPEAKER_08It's gonna be okay.
SPEAKER_19It's this is why you're a good friend and why we will look after you, unlike your terrible digidestined friend.
SPEAKER_08No, I'm gonna be a good one. You can say you're forever with us. I don't even know what they are, except that you throw tea and they have girlfriends.
SPEAKER_18That's right. They're just like your Shelby's gonna- But Shelby's not one. Shelby is one.
SPEAKER_08Well.
SPEAKER_18If you were her Digimon, she was a digidest.
SPEAKER_08But she doesn't have a girlfriend, and people don't throw tea when she shows up.
SPEAKER_19Not yet!
SPEAKER_08I don't understand what those things are supposed to be.
SPEAKER_18In time you'll understand. I'm a little bit older. You see, I was born maybe a couple of months ago.
SPEAKER_08Ah! That's pretty old.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, Spider-Man is a year old. I'm pretty old.
SPEAKER_08Wow.
SPEAKER_18I'm only I'm only a couple months.
SPEAKER_10Okay.
SPEAKER_18Yes, we have been around Coromon.
SPEAKER_19You can consider us your older brothers.
SPEAKER_08Wait, so you came from Shelby too?
SPEAKER_18Maybe we all came from Shelby. What? Who truly knows where Digimon come from?
SPEAKER_08You come from the egg, obviously, and then they take it back. And then they try to get it fixed because it doesn't work.
SPEAKER_19No, eggs always work. Eggs just you just pop out of eggs.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, but it's supposed to do phone calls and stuff still.
SPEAKER_19Eggs don't do phone calls. I think they I think they lied to you.
SPEAKER_15I think eggs just pop open and we jump out of them.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_08Because kind of like boom boom when it's feeling a lot of stuff, and then it's like in your head, and then poof, you're there. And then that egg hits the floor, and the person is all like, oh my god, Switchy's happy, and stuff. And then they pick up the egg.
SPEAKER_18I think they're lying to you. And they told you that this is what's supposed to happen. When in truth, you came out of a digitama. Lunamon! As Lunamon, he walks over and opens a crate as he pulls out a broken digi egg.
SPEAKER_23This is like a different size and everything than a sapotama first.
SPEAKER_18It's a full fucking egg.
SPEAKER_23I just want to make sure it's noticeably a different size because technically they'd hatch us like in training or something, right?
SPEAKER_18So Yeah, it's still pretty big though. Uh see. It's uh you come out as your baby form, and then you eat enough, and then you digivolve.
SPEAKER_08I showed up like this, and my sapotama is this big, and I'll show them how big my egg was.
SPEAKER_18What is a sapotama?
SPEAKER_08It's my egg. It's still speak.
SPEAKER_18I've never heard of an egg called a sapotama.
SPEAKER_08Well, it's still speak and it makes phone calls and has music and stuff. And it close pretty colors. That's not nice.
SPEAKER_18Coromon is afflicted with I think Coromon has Digivirus.
SPEAKER_19Oh no, digivirus is a bad time. It'll affect and corrupt your memory, making you aggressive and evil. Do you have Digivirus?
SPEAKER_18That's all we have Digivirus, Coromon! You gotta tell us if you have Digivirus!
SPEAKER_19Iris just hatched Esther to And it can carry through generations, my friends. Meaning the Coromon.
SPEAKER_08What do you mean generations?
SPEAKER_19Always Coromon!
SPEAKER_08What?
SPEAKER_18As He his claws come out as he like stares at you. Ludomon sits there as he pulls his pulls his thing up as a shield and as Father Mon pulls a sword as he Oh. You oh. I'm full! Starting something.
SPEAKER_05You need to be put into quarantine for full like water jets from the feet trying to get out of here as quickly as possible because they just got scary.
SPEAKER_02Oh. Okay.
SPEAKER_18Spartamon.
SPEAKER_22Okay, how far can I get if I'm running during the round where they're pulling out their weapons?
SPEAKER_18Uh you can't get any further than you are.
SPEAKER_22Okay, but I can stay here.
SPEAKER_18Do note Do note that on your thing it says 30 feet. You probably could get here before it enters initiative.
SPEAKER_03Um I think that's so the water jet for my feet is a use of my signature technique because it's if you shoot them at the hands at somebody, that's one, but I also put it in the feet so I could use it for movement.
SPEAKER_18Yeah. That's fine. Alright. Uh Spartimon is up first. We are in a combat. Spartamon is rushing you. Uh uh.
SPEAKER_07This is the worst. Like Shelby had a bad day. But this is a really bad time for Songomon.
SPEAKER_18He's actually gonna do a signature. He's gonna do Swift Slash. Uh, which is both a null and a steal time. Uh speaking of which.
SPEAKER_03Oh!
SPEAKER_18Uh what what is your attribute?
SPEAKER_03I am water and data.
SPEAKER_18Water and data. Alright. Let me check my attribute sheet.
SPEAKER_22Yeah, let me pull that up as well.
SPEAKER_18Okay, so water is affected by plant and nothing else.
SPEAKER_22Well, it interacts with plant and fire.
SPEAKER_18Interacts with plant and fire, yes.
SPEAKER_01Uh you're a so uh weak to virus.
SPEAKER_18This one is a data. So, Spardamon's gonna come in, he's gonna do his swift slash. This might actually be the first instance. So you're a water digmon, right?
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_18He's gonna use an attachment skill.
SPEAKER_22I don't have one of those, so I don't know what that is.
SPEAKER_18You're about to find out.
SPEAKER_03I don't wanna.
SPEAKER_24I don't wanna learn.
SPEAKER_18He is going to use needle plant, which is a plant type, meaning he gains advantage on this attack. Uh he's gonna use brains check to attack with 13.
SPEAKER_03I have unnatural reflexes, so I have to roll something to counter this, right?
SPEAKER_18Yes. So you can roll something of your choice. You describe how you're using that stat.
SPEAKER_02Um
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I haven't clicked mine either because technically it hasn't done anything.
SPEAKER_19No.
SPEAKER_03Um since Since I'm in the middle of shooting water from my feet, can I try putting out like a burst of speed to get out of the way of this?
SPEAKER_18And then give it the splot check.
SPEAKER_03And then take the strain and give it the signature bonus. Uh yeah, sure. Alright. And that's three, right?
SPEAKER_17Yep, plus three. Alright.
SPEAKER_03You said flight. I'm not good at flight, but this is how we gotta get better.
SPEAKER_18It is. Uh so just checking my thing. So plant is better. So there's no disadvantage, which is good.
SPEAKER_02But I just rolled a one. Ooh, there.
SPEAKER_18You are taking a point of major injury. As he slams into you, coming through as he uh needle storm! Oh needle plant! As a storm of plant.
SPEAKER_04I liked needle storm. That was a nice name.
SPEAKER_18Needle storm was way better.
SPEAKER_04Right?
SPEAKER_18Uh as yeah, just needles pierce into you. Uh he is also gonna use his last five feet of movement to get there to block you from going forward.
SPEAKER_03Is this only one person wide?
SPEAKER_18Essentially, you'd have to be like brawling past him.
SPEAKER_03So, like just slower movement, or what is the uh mechanical thing for trying to get past him anyway?
SPEAKER_18I would say trying to get past him would be a pose check. So it'd be flight versus his flight or brawn to keep you out.
SPEAKER_22Okay. Sure.
SPEAKER_18Alright. Uh that's Spartamon's turn as he comes in and just hits you with this plant uh stuff just smashing into you.
SPEAKER_03Alright, I do want to try the opposed check to get past him because there's three of them.
SPEAKER_17Sure.
SPEAKER_03Um I'm gonna go ahead and use the signature bonus again. You said flight, right?
SPEAKER_18Nope, sorry, it's not an advantage. Let me roll that again again.
SPEAKER_03Okay, we can ladder that. And then I rolled a one on the V6, so I can't see what he got.
SPEAKER_01Uh spit up.
SPEAKER_18Alright.
SPEAKER_03I lost I just got two more.
SPEAKER_18Sneak past, he is just so quick, just getting in the way. Your water pressuring out behind you, but he is just there.
SPEAKER_03Um since I tried to use my signature for movement Can I do like a basic attack?
SPEAKER_18Yeah. Uh yeah, that's fine. Okay. Um Do note that if you try and do signature things, it can't be. Um Which does Sangamon have more than two? More than two, what? Uh injury levels?
SPEAKER_22Yes.
SPEAKER_18Okay, cool.
SPEAKER_22Yeah, Sangamon got beaten up a lot.
SPEAKER_03So we took a few feats after that fight.
SPEAKER_17During good.
SPEAKER_03Um. Okay, yeah, she just says combat response ones. I don't have any kind of like um special feet. How tall is the ceiling of this little tunnel or something? I want to see if I can find like I don't know, anything clever that I can do. Um, I don't know if I can pivot to shoot water against the wall and have it ricochet into him or something, or if I can like jet and jump. Well, trying to attack. I can't jet and jump over him, that's not a thing.
SPEAKER_18Um if you want to use angles, that's a brain's check. If you want to use like pure brute force, it's brawn. If you want to like outspeed and just like quick hits, it's flight. Uh that's the way to think of this.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Um. I'm thinking with brains, either like trying to use angles to hit him from a direction he's not expecting, or like if there happened to be a stalagtide on the ceiling that I might be able to knock down or something.
SPEAKER_18Umagite would be a grit check.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Well, let's let's do angles because he's looking at me, so then we'll try to let's try to get the ruler, and then it's like, let's go. Let's I'll try to bounce it off corner and hit him from the side while he's focused on me.
SPEAKER_16Alright. Go for it.
SPEAKER_03Um, we're not gonna do this as a signature, we're just gonna do a basic. Let me see how many tokens I have. I do have four. 21.
SPEAKER_18Okay. I like it. Uh, this is his uh this is one of his better stats. He's pretty good at it. But 13's not enough. As you hit him, uh is that more than five? That is more than five. That deals a full damage. Spartamon doesn't have anything. There, Spartimon goes down. However, he did lock down your movement this turn, so you are still there. Um, that is your turn.
SPEAKER_03Um okay, yeah. Third time is a minor injury. Okay, yes, it is. I don't even need to ask a question because I took notes.
SPEAKER_18Cool. Zubamon is gonna rush. Uh as he's mad now, as he You betray her, Sangamon! Uh you evil Digimon! How dare you! Uh, cool, so he is a uh he's a vaccine type, so he does disadvantage against you.
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_18Uh he does have steel, uh which doesn't do anything to you. He's going in. Uh it won't affect anything here, but he is gonna go for a check. Plus three. This is gonna be a big boy hit. Oh, never mind.
SPEAKER_03Um, I can roll against every attack on me, right? Yeah. Alright, we're gonna try to dodge this. We're not good at it, but we need to. I need to get better at flight eventually. And you just never know.
SPEAKER_09Oh, we'll add the two adversity tokens.
SPEAKER_17So we rolled a three plus. Okay, yeah, that makes sense.
SPEAKER_03Alright, so we did not dodge that. That's fine. We're gonna rolled their ability now.
SPEAKER_17Yep.
SPEAKER_03One of these times it's gonna explode, you know? It it Okay. I have two tokens now because of my other failure. So that's ladder that. I cannot ladder again because I am down to one token. So this is a minor entry. Versus 13. Alright, minor entry.
SPEAKER_18This is a minor entry. Got it. Because it slams into you his front sword just coming in as he Zuba strike as he gathers momentum and thrusts forward like a lance, piercing armor, uh, and just stabbing through. Alright. Uh, he doesn't have much else that he's gonna do as he. Uh Ludemon! Take this uh problem out! We need to help Spiderman! Alright. Uh Ludemon says Cercle. Alright, I'm coming, I'm gonna do. You're not gonna stop us, we're gonna blitz you up.
SPEAKER_20You hurt Spartomon! You're all starable!
SPEAKER_18He is also a vaccine Digimon. Um man, he's good Brawn. These two are great Brawn. There's a nine. Oh wait, sorry. Ten let me just re-roll that. Uh because he's uh gonna use a signature.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_1814.
SPEAKER_03Wait, am I supposed to be no, I roll advantage against them if I'm attacking, right?
SPEAKER_14Yes, if you're attacking. Okay.
SPEAKER_03Cool. Um he's just run up beside me. And is attacking. I I really cannot try to use brains to dodge. I need light to explode. Please flight. Why do you hate me? Okay, I only have one token, so there's nothing I can do for that. And durability. Roll A2. I only have three, so I can't ladder that either. So six is less than is eight less than fourteen.
SPEAKER_18Is eight less than fourteen?
SPEAKER_03Six is eight less than fourteen.
SPEAKER_20Okay. Okay.
SPEAKER_03I was sitting there for a second, I'm like, what? So I think that's what type of injury is that?
SPEAKER_18That is uh so six is It's more than five, but it's not ten, so take a major injury.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Uh I have increased my bonus in flight to four because I cannot force it to do anything. And I took phase change. So if I do take another injury and drop to zero, then I transform into something.
SPEAKER_02And get the injury back.
SPEAKER_03So I went into adrenaline mode.
SPEAKER_18And we are Is it actually my turn? Ready to roll. It is your turn.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_18You are up. Alright. So uh that is Ludamon's turn. Uh Spartimon is currently down. Sangamon, you are. Oh wait!
SPEAKER_03But he explodes one turn after he passes out, I understand.
SPEAKER_18As he sits there rising back up behind you, as he you think you can just come in here and do what you like?
SPEAKER_19As he let's t let's show him what's what, boys, as he puts his hands out. Uh as he Spardomon!
SPEAKER_06Digivolve to Wait, is that what phase changes in the Digivolving? Did I just buy the Digivolve feet?
SPEAKER_18Digivolve to kill Smartamon! As these two sit there jumping at him, they both become a shield and a sword.
SPEAKER_06Okay, sorry, what is this guy's name now?
SPEAKER_19Bodemon!
SPEAKER_03No, something came before it and it's important, because it'll be like Metal Graymon, or like, huh?
SPEAKER_18Dill's Vatamon.
SPEAKER_04Oh, he just still.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_19So this isn't actually It's not a digillosion.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_27I was like, wow, if I picked that up and you were gonna make me get it before you'd let me dig evolve. Okay.
SPEAKER_06Boom.
SPEAKER_18Uh that one does let you dig evolve, but it's a whole different thing.
SPEAKER_03Don't worry about it. Um Alright, so this is his turn.
SPEAKER_18This is in a sense uh his dig evolution. Uh it is his turn. He is going to attack you.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_18You're facing a champion level now. Oh fuck.
SPEAKER_03Okay. I really wish I could use brains for like anything.
SPEAKER_18Wow, what a shit roll. He rolled an eight and a four. But he has a plus eight to the theme.
SPEAKER_21Okay. Alright.
SPEAKER_18As he goes ahead and swings.
SPEAKER_27I'm like, we we roll charm! This is what we do when we get, but no, we don't. We're not we're not roll charm.
SPEAKER_05Quick, don't go jutsu! Use water to make something that looks vaguely like them so they'll be attracted to you.
SPEAKER_03It kinda worked. It didn't work last time. He hates us. Okay. Um, all right. I am gonna hope, against hope, that flight is gonna ladder.
SPEAKER_04We're gonna try to dodge. Um feel the power of GLS.
SPEAKER_03I can't use my signature anymore. I will kill myself. So we're gonna lovely. Standard dodge. Alright. So that's a one. I have three. We're gonna ladder it. We still have four. We're gonna ladder that again. We still have three. We're gonna ladder that again. Oh yeah, yeah, we're gonna ladder that again. Why not? I have two left. 43.
SPEAKER_18That is enough to counterattack if you would like. Oh my gosh, guys! Um yeah, I think I would like to.
SPEAKER_10Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Um so uh I'm gonna say we did like water jet into the floor to get up into the air. And then whatever I roll is not gonna be good. My attacks are good.
SPEAKER_18So what are you using to attack?
SPEAKER_03It doesn't matter. Ranged attack is great, it's not good. Ron is not great. Brains are not I think, gut instinct, we're gonna use that flight check to get up in the air, and then we're going to try to like slam down into him because he's huh? Headbutt? Caralho headbutt? No, because we're in the sky. Yeah, you can turn it. This is more like seismic kick or something. Because he's going horizontally forward, and so if we shot water out of our feet and we're going up, then we're gonna like clench our fists together and try to bring them down on his head as we're fall. Or land on him, but I'm guessing braun.
SPEAKER_18Braun, it is. Two.
SPEAKER_05Holy shit, you did it! Oh my gosh. Okay, I'm I don't need to, but I'm going to ladder that because I can afford to.
SPEAKER_18That's a good choice because then it does an actual injury rather than a minor.
SPEAKER_0525! Oh my gosh, Saguma!
SPEAKER_18It hits him as he takes the back step. You see, a bit of digitization as he looks up and see, we aren't gonna let you go, Coroman!
SPEAKER_19You aren't allowed to take off and leave us here!
SPEAKER_18I was doing a Lechmon's voice for a second.
unknownCome on back!
SPEAKER_19I will be your father! We'll be your friends, even if we have to beat you and do so!
SPEAKER_15Um, that's their turn.
SPEAKER_12That wasn't Oh yeah, that was their turn.
SPEAKER_03Oh that wasn't even my turn. Okay.
SPEAKER_17Um you're up.
SPEAKER_03Trying to get past them as a contested flight check, right?
SPEAKER_17Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03I'm still gonna try to get past them because they were nice before this.
SPEAKER_05I'm playing the most like combat focused pacifist, apparently.
SPEAKER_03Oh, I don't like when you roll first.
SPEAKER_05Okay, I have one. I rolled an 11, so we're gonna ladder that.
SPEAKER_1823 is not enough, but it's not as pushed back as he doesn't get a surprise opportunity attack at least.
SPEAKER_03Mm-hmm. Now, important question: does that do a minor injury?
SPEAKER_18No.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_21Okay, okay. Um.
SPEAKER_18He just locks you down.
SPEAKER_21Okay.
SPEAKER_18If it was 10 over minor injury.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, if that was my action, can I sprint back into the room to get some distance for my movement?
SPEAKER_18Or no. That was part of that was your movement.
SPEAKER_03That was my movement.
SPEAKER_18So you still have your action. Okay. You are just now locked down.
SPEAKER_03Okay, got it.
SPEAKER_24Um.
SPEAKER_19We won't let you go. New friend Coroman.
SPEAKER_03Okay. I trying to think. Trying to think. Trying to think. Um, I want to like bounce water off this and hit it into the back of the shield and try to like knock that out of his hand. Like, I'm gonna take him out of this form and also slam Ludemon into the wall if this works.
SPEAKER_17Okay, roll the hit.
SPEAKER_24Brains?
SPEAKER_17Roll Brains. Versus durability.
SPEAKER_24Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. No, stop rolling first!
SPEAKER_18It's a lot.
SPEAKER_00It is a lot.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_18Good thing he doesn't have tokens or else, damn. Uh so he returns fire.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
SPEAKER_18As you bounce things, he spins using the water to bring the sword back around to try and take you out.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Can I try to uh dodge that?
SPEAKER_17Yeah, of course you can.
SPEAKER_03I get lost a little on the action economy of everything.
SPEAKER_17I'll tell you what you have to do.
SPEAKER_18Okay, so the dodge. Did not go as uh you uh hit forth. Uh roll me a durability.
SPEAKER_03Do I take tokens for failing the dodge? Yes.
SPEAKER_18And failing your attack.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I took those already.
unknownOh.
SPEAKER_03I just, since I'm gonna roll flight and then durability, I didn't know if I had the potential of getting tokens twice if I just suck. Okay, we're gonna ladder that. So I still have five. You know what? Do I want a D12 and durability? I think I do. We're gonna spend all of our tokens just making our dice bigger. Okay.
SPEAKER_18So that's over 15. So uh you can make a counterattack yourself.
SPEAKER_03All I do is build my dice. Okay. Um right, so he was trying to use momentum to Yeah, he used the order's momentum to swing.
SPEAKER_18We didn't dodge.
SPEAKER_03We just took it. So what we're gonna do, since we've made contact, is raise one of our uh arms to like his face and just go for like a point-blank fire hose.
SPEAKER_18Sure, roll me a brawn check. Sure.
SPEAKER_04Seven. Okay, song of mine, I still love you.
SPEAKER_18As the water smashes forth, his head moves, taking just a cut like a minor thing across the way. Not really getting him because he just takes the water and pushes through. Uh that is your turn. It's back to him. He sits there and see, uh no more of this.
SPEAKER_19I'm gonna take you down. You are you are not staying in our path. We can't let you leave. You're one of us, and we're gonna keep you and keep you safe.
SPEAKER_06That's what I mean, right?
SPEAKER_03I'm gonna try to get past her. Well, I can't get past them.
SPEAKER_06I'm gonna try to dodge the okay.
SPEAKER_07Alright. I have enough to ladder that because I just no, don't take don't take that many there.
SPEAKER_03Oh no, yeah, do take that many there, because I failed that. Alright, I have six. I'm spending one, I have five, thirty-four. Damn.
SPEAKER_18Uh yeah, as you manage to just tank it again again, coming through as uh he sits there and see, why won't you go down?
SPEAKER_19Just go down, Coroman! She doesn't want you, sh uh Coromon. We want you! You can be part of ZLS!
SPEAKER_20I'm not going to be young!
SPEAKER_18Uh, you are up.
SPEAKER_05Okay. One of these times I will make it fast.
SPEAKER_03Oh wait, I've not been rolling it. What what attribute is this guy in this form? I've not been rolling anything in advantage.
SPEAKER_18He's a Donna.
SPEAKER_03Oh, same as me. It was his weapons that were a different type. Okay, perfect. Good. Yes. Alright, we're gonna have five. Alright. We're gonna try to get past him and get outside again.
SPEAKER_16Alright.
SPEAKER_0418. Okay, that's finally enough. Can I just make it past him?
SPEAKER_18You can make it past him. He's gonna chase you out onto Mount Miharashi, though.
SPEAKER_03But I've made it past him, and that's my movement, so I will turn and shoot him with the water gun, but I don't really I'm sad about it. And that's me trying to give flavor text the fact that I have a D4 for grit, and that's what you make me use for range.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, use a grit check.
SPEAKER_03But I really I don't want to have five-to fight them, but I have to. Okay, I have five. I have four left. I have two left, eleven.
SPEAKER_18Okay, let's see. So you got four. Uh it went to a d6, you spent two.
unknownMm-hmm.
SPEAKER_18Uh cool. And uh 11. Uh you roll the one on the d8, damn.
SPEAKER_03Yep.
SPEAKER_18Shame. Yeah, but it's so good that it's bigger now, and that's fun. As you pass by rushing forth, you try and spray him. As he's hit by water, but once again it just bounces off that shield. Uh, Spartimon in this moment is gonna try and rush you. And he's gonna try and finish this. Alright. He's gonna actually do a relic crossbreaker, which is his signature.
SPEAKER_12Oh, good for him. Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_03We will try to speed out of the way of the it's just dodge.
SPEAKER_17That's pretty miserable.
SPEAKER_03We're gonna roll a two on the d20. Alright, we'll try to tank it as we're you know. Okay.
SPEAKER_18That is less.
SPEAKER_03It is.
SPEAKER_18So? Uh is that your last one?
SPEAKER_03What does it do? I mean, the answer is gonna be yes, but is it minor or major?
SPEAKER_18It is major.
SPEAKER_03Okay. So I immediately take one injury back, get five points, and change into something else. That would have dropped me, but I took the phase shift thing. I know. But yes, it helps.
SPEAKER_18I didn't. You don't have to tell me you got phase shift. I know you got phase shift.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, but if anyone's watching this. Do they know?
SPEAKER_18Who knows?
SPEAKER_03Well, they do now, because I don't.
SPEAKER_18You're not wrong.
SPEAKER_03Occasionally.
SPEAKER_18Digitization starts to happen as rising up where Sangamon once was. You stand there changed.
SPEAKER_06What am I called now?
SPEAKER_18You're floating. This is Orcamon.
SPEAKER_23Orcamon.
SPEAKER_18Orcamon may instantly, as you change form, which you can press active form and change it to champion. One of your stats to push beyond what it is currently.
SPEAKER_03Like only one of them is gonna be able to go past 20, or like I could be ladder one.
SPEAKER_18Right now you can push one from what it is up. So you could choose the d8, you could choose the d6, you could choose the d20.
SPEAKER_03I feel like so far we've just been running Sangamon like a tank because of how the fights have gone.
SPEAKER_22So I think I'm gonna go durability. And you just want me to go to one d20 plus one d4?
SPEAKER_18Yeah, so edit your things, push it to the next level. And you may also add one strength.
SPEAKER_03Oh let's take a signature move, because that means like I would roll two d10s and add both of them. Right? Um, okay, let's take let's take that one. I'm sorry for completely killing the flaw.
SPEAKER_18It's all good. Uh it's not, but it's fine. Uh alright, it is your turn as Orcamon. You are up.
unknownOh great.
SPEAKER_25Okay.
SPEAKER_18Um you form, you change as you stand before Spartimon as he Ah, a fellow, a fellow champion level Digimon.
SPEAKER_03I just wanna slap him with my flipper and see if I can knock him across the rim.
SPEAKER_05The least exciting thing I could possibly do.
SPEAKER_03Alright, I have nine. We're gonna ladder that. Which left me with three. I rolled nine on a 12, so we'll ladder that again and whatever there. Out of tokens again, 35. Okay. I just want the dice.
SPEAKER_18Even with a 25, he is slapped, smashing into a wall. Uh, that is that is all his things, as he is downed. What happens there looking as he sits there knocked out against the thing as he my friend my Coromon No something different now, isn't it? You You would be Killer Wagom. You turn and leave. He sits there as Zubamon and that. They did digivolve as they fall into a pile. Yeah, they fall into a pile as he lies there, Zubamon with him, Ludamon as well, as Zubamon sits there as he remembers back as he I remember when I did evolved.
SPEAKER_12Five minutes ago. I miss I miss my part.
SPEAKER_18As we switch back to the human world.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_18Uh cool.
SPEAKER_04Oh Songomon. Or come on.

SPEAKER_18He doesn't s he doesn't seem to respond to that.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_24Okay.
SPEAKER_18Um he goes and grabs his drawer full of uh silverware. Silverware and just starts playing with it.
SPEAKER_24You're fine with joining.
SPEAKER_03What does he do with them? The people spoons.
SPEAKER_18Ghosts wrapped around them, and he just has them like moving along and like moving them as if they were like he was playing with but like Barbie dolls.
SPEAKER_03I know, I'm asking, what is he doing with them? Are they walking together? Are they fighting? Is he making them kiss? Like, what is he doing with these people?
SPEAKER_18He d he doesn't say anything, so it's very much just moving spoon.
SPEAKER_26I know, but if you watch a child, you can kind of tell if they're like beep beep beep.
SPEAKER_18He's not like hitting them together, he's just waving them around each other.
SPEAKER_03Okay, so they seem friendly-ish.
SPEAKER_18The spoon people. Maybe.
SPEAKER_03Alright, alright.
SPEAKER_05They might be at war, you don't know. This is a dance battle.
SPEAKER_24Okay.
SPEAKER_03Um working as a cleaner, right? Because I have to do that. But I also can't do that without you? Okay, okay. Seemed particularly happy when we were actually at their office.
SPEAKER_18He looks at that and gets a little like sad.
SPEAKER_03I I just wanna know what you think, because you've saved my life a few times, and I can't even hear you.
SPEAKER_18You can't turn and goes back to playing with the silverware.
SPEAKER_03You can't type, right? Like if I gave you the Sapatama, you can't message shh.
SPEAKER_18He walks over to your computer and starts just pressing buttons. Uh you realize quickly he does not know how to spell.
SPEAKER_12Okay, okay. That's a good try. That's a that's a good try. Okay.
SPEAKER_16Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And I did actually think about this before this week. Hmm. If we meet these people and you um really hate them, you let me know, okay?
SPEAKER_18You not.
SPEAKER_24Alright.
SPEAKER_18And I I wrote down have numbers on them.
SPEAKER_03Like phone numbers?
SPEAKER_18Yeah, phone numbers.
SPEAKER_03Mm-hmm. I'm gonna call static broom.
SPEAKER_18You call static broom.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_18Uh Milo. Just bring up my things. I need yes. That d weirdly, despite the name and everything, doesn't help me for some reason.
SPEAKER_03Alright, he has Betamon, and during one of their operations, they wiped out power to half a city block because they have a little electrotype now.
SPEAKER_18That's right.
SPEAKER_05That's them.
SPEAKER_18Uh as uh you call as you hear I'll go for Milo. How uh who how can I help? What's uh this is static broom, right? I need to answer as the people.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, this is the number you put on the application, so that might be good.
SPEAKER_18That's right. Are you trying to apply for a position in the group?
SPEAKER_03Potentially. I'd like to do like a like a meet and greet and just see if we get along.
SPEAKER_18What levels you digimon?
SPEAKER_22Uh is there any way to like scan that with my sapotama or something, or do I know?
SPEAKER_18Possibly. You've not really met anyone in the industry that knows how this shit works. Right.
SPEAKER_03So just fumbling around on the Sapatama, do I run into any kind of scanning interface?
SPEAKER_17Give me a brains check.
SPEAKER_03Actually, hang on, hang on. I had a whole Digivice thing pinned. Let me look at it. Um, I can freely scan objects or creatures, translate digital or coded data, identify hazards or anomalies, receive navigation or threat alerts, does not require roles, does not provide combat bonuses, it's information and awareness only. Does he count as a creature I can scan?
SPEAKER_18Yes. To access those parts of your sapatami, you do need to be shown. Cause that's not normal sapotama.
SPEAKER_07Okay, so I'm like, if I fail this, just getting into like the camera app and like You try and QR code him.
SPEAKER_05Right, basically. Alright, let's see if I do that or if I figure it out.
SPEAKER_16Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_0411. I have no tokens.
SPEAKER_18You yeah, you get a pixel. Look amongst yourself someone. It's definitely nothing that you've seen before. You know that it would have to be on here. It's just one of those things of like, it's like getting a brand new phone and you'd have to go through like 17 applications to try and find which one has that little cog wheel that will do it.
SPEAKER_24I don't know. I just got him yesterday.
SPEAKER_18Um that's pretty fine. Why do you want to join uh static broom?
SPEAKER_03Uh well.
SPEAKER_24Guys didn't sound uptight, which was nice. Um it didn't sound like I had as high of a chance of dying with you guys.
SPEAKER_03Um and since whatever you did originally um took out the power to half a city block, I figure you actually show up and try to fix things as opposed to just kind of observing later, and it would be really, really nice to have backup and or support to figure out this whole thing. So that's why I called you instead of anyone else in the pile.
SPEAKER_18I see. That uh, that makes sense. We're pretty great.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Uh and you don't sound like my dad, which is huge bonus.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, that's that's fair. How old are you?
SPEAKER_03Twenty-three.
unknownOkay.

SPEAKER_24Then that kid could have been in the class next door. He could have been in like third period.
SPEAKER_18He could have been in your class.
SPEAKER_03I know! That would have been really convenient because then I'm technically defending the student and I can write his excuse notes. You can't. Okay, if I ask you to do something that ends up being illegal, you'll tell me, right? Like.
SPEAKER_19No.
SPEAKER_05Okay. If I ask you to do something, can you tell me whether you think you can do it without leaving a trail or anything?

SPEAKER_18Uh as you get a file, uh one second.
SPEAKER_20I'm gonna die.
SPEAKER_18Okay. Uh so. So uh as he brings it up as he uh these are the lamp lighters. Uh they were formed when five individuals under under individually underperforming recruits were grouped together as a last chance placement. Uh instead of improving, they discovered they all preferred minimal effort and quietly agreed to only intervene when a situation became unavoidable. They have a baffling record of terrible response times, incomplete containments, yet very few actual disasters attached to their name. Uh other cleaners suspect they either fail upwards through luck, or something is doing their work for them and taking the credit. As you hear, please! Please, please answer your phone.
SPEAKER_20I will pay you money to answer your phone. Simon, Simon, I don't want to hang up this call. Please don't make me hang up. Have you are you tracking them? What do you mean you can't track them? What do you mean that's not a thing? I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure I've seen stuff like that.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Now, can I send a text message at the same time that I'm on the phone?
SPEAKER_04Sure.
SPEAKER_05I am going to text this person, make like, make your pitch already.

SPEAKER_18But I d um uh we've got money!
SPEAKER_20You you don't even have to pretend we'll we'll deal with all the things. We just need we just need the numbers, man! Please, please do not hang up! Please!
SPEAKER_06I'm begging. Okay, okay. I think I just heard him say I can be a part of this team and they will do work for me, and I don't have to show up.
SPEAKER_16Pretty much.
SPEAKER_06Which is kind of ideal for my job, even though this sucks.
SPEAKER_07Alright, alright, their last rank. So, they're not likely to get sent on any big jobs. So that's fairly safe. They just said they would do everything. I don't even need to participate. So that's fine. The only thing that gets hurt I'm like talking to Wispy while in these dogs. The only thing that gets hurt is my reputation, which doesn't exist with these people. That's fine, right? Is that fine?
SPEAKER_16Rug?
SPEAKER_21I don't know, man. Okay, I'm gonna unmute.

SPEAKER_18I've I've definitely graduated high school. I've definitely Yes! Yes, 100%. I am I am currently in uh a well, I'm no longer in the class. I I dropped out I I was in college.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_03Um So I heard you say you would do everything and I don't need to participate.
SPEAKER_18That's the level to the to the effort that we can, of course. Like, there's there's certain levels that you have to do, like you can't just not ever show up, but yeah, sure.
SPEAKER_03I have a day job. So That's fun. I can't leave in the middle of the day for stuff, but they probably don't call you with big jobs, right? Because you're the you're the bottom in the barrel, right?
SPEAKER_18That's pretty hurtful, but sure.
SPEAKER_03Well, what what jobs do they give you? I'm just assuming the office judges you guys based on your ranking.
SPEAKER_18And your desperation. We're sometimes called We're sometimes called the work, but usually we have like a bunch of um It depends on what work we wanna do that we do.
SPEAKER_20Hmm.
SPEAKER_18Uh that's probably all the things there.

SPEAKER_10Yeah.
SPEAKER_07And I'm gonna go to the park and see what this clump of um very normal skilled people with their Digimon look like.
SPEAKER_03This is a hor like objectively, this is a bad choice. But this is a hilarious thing that my phone just auto-dialed them, so I'm going with it, even though this is dumb.
SPEAKER_18Right. It's hilarious. Okay. Are you going to park?
SPEAKER_03Park can be loosely described because this is a post-apocalyptic urban setting, so yeah.
SPEAKER_02Whatever you've got, I will take.
SPEAKER_18As you're coming in, you'd come in over this way.
SPEAKER_09Please don't be bagheads. Like we probably are.
SPEAKER_18There is There is only one person here. Uh what is going on? There we go. As you see this man sitting against the thing. You walk in. He looks at you as he.
SPEAKER_00I don't have a Digimon! I don't have a Digimon out! Mine is invisible. Does he have a Digimon?
SPEAKER_18You do see sitting next to him. Sorry, that's not the right Digimon.
SPEAKER_09No, that's on a different team. Vital of the barrel doesn't exist.
SPEAKER_18That's the right Digimon.
SPEAKER_25Oh, that's actually cool.
SPEAKER_09Okay, I'm probably staring at that because that is legit one of the coolest things I've seen.

SPEAKER_27You Simon or Tojiro?
SPEAKER_18Oh, which do you fucking think?
SPEAKER_20He stares you down ready to chase you if you run.
SPEAKER_03Honestly, I don't know. If you've been sitting there listening to the conversation, you could be this annoyed.
SPEAKER_18If I was Simon, I'd already be a wrinkled old fuck somewhere. I'd be dead. That old man needs to go uh fall into a coffin.
SPEAKER_03Okay, that's that's a very good point. I didn't ask about uprageous old Simon.
SPEAKER_18Uh I think I think that old fuck's like in his fifties.

SPEAKER_05Uh, I don't have any adversity tokens, so yeah, just ten.
SPEAKER_18Ten is enough. Uh, it's not a hard check. As you remember back, you remember a kid named Tojiro. He was a scrawny little dude at your high school. This is definitely not Tojiro. But yeah, black-haired kid. He was small, he was like bullied every day by all the rich kids.
SPEAKER_03You said I've only worked at this high school for like a week, and then I sublessed you.

SPEAKER_20What motherfucker? What do you want? It's okay.

SPEAKER_24Yeah.
SPEAKER_18Oh. He pulls up his Sapatama as he uh places it over the top of his scans it as he rookie. I'm interested.

SPEAKER_18I mean, he pulls it over as he Gimme you give me your Sapatama.
SPEAKER_03I look at Wispy and hold my Sapatama out slowly, but if he starts growling, I'm gonna not do it.
SPEAKER_18Uh he doesn't growl.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_18So you pass what this guy goes through as he presses a bunch of things. It takes him a lot longer than it did for him to just bring this up.
SPEAKER_27What are you doing?
SPEAKER_18Eventually he sits there as he. Alright, there you go. You just press that circle there and that'll open it. We can go, Flame. So he starts walking.
SPEAKER_05You just registered me, you bastard. Yep.
SPEAKER_20Okay. You gave him it's a pajama! I know.
SPEAKER_21Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Uh no, I walked into that, that's fair. Your parents disappointed in you for having Digimon.
SPEAKER_18Hey, fuck you. You don't get to talk about my parents.
SPEAKER_03Why?
SPEAKER_18You don't get to talk shit about me. I'm not talking shit about you. Just cause you're ritzy and glamorous and think you're the greatest.
SPEAKER_03Wait, you weren't?
SPEAKER_18Yeah, I don't hit girls.
SPEAKER_25How'd you get into the school?

SPEAKER_19Come on.
SPEAKER_18It's not a not the place all the time. You should see this man walking out. See what fucking Tomanaga sent you here?
SPEAKER_19Yeah, he his expectation was that you would fuck this up. So he sent me to deal with it. Pride me away from my work and everything. So take a fucking walk. I'll deal with the initiation.
SPEAKER_05See It was going okay.
SPEAKER_18He looks back pissed off at you for saying that.
unknownWhat?
SPEAKER_18Simon walks up and see, don't worry about him. Lad's got some deep, deep uh anger issues.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I guess you weren't Lena. Where's your Digimon?
SPEAKER_19Need to bring my Digimon everywhere I go.
SPEAKER_18Not do I?
SPEAKER_25So back at the base?
SPEAKER_18He's got a life. I think he's uh he's probably going to get ice cream.
SPEAKER_03Oh.
SPEAKER_19You send him with money or no, I just tell him to go over and rob people.
SPEAKER_03I'm really new at that?
SPEAKER_19That's the joke.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Thanks.
SPEAKER_19Let's take a walk. So you're you're a new cleaner.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, um that was that was last night, yes.
SPEAKER_19Handsome fella. Sure he will be a great addition to the team.
SPEAKER_26Thanks.
SPEAKER_18Well, let's take a bit of a walk. We can talk, you can ask any questions that you want.
SPEAKER_03Uh um, do you have social anxiety like Tomanaga does, or can you actually finish the sentence? You can finish the sentence. You did that earlier.
SPEAKER_18No one has social anxiety like Tomanaga does.
SPEAKER_24He seems really good at it. Um, okay.
SPEAKER_03What uh what kind of expectations do you guys have for like um frequency or type of work? Like what do you guys do? Please don't just say cleaner stuff when they ask us. Like, number of times a month. How frequently are you exposed to near-death situations, that kind of actual thing.
SPEAKER_18As much as you want to take on. You can go down, you can go get yourself a bounty, we'll back you up and follow you to do it.
SPEAKER_24Oh.
SPEAKER_18We our job here is to make sure everyone can pay their bills.
SPEAKER_24Okay.
SPEAKER_18Beyond that, we're not really caring to go above and beyond.
SPEAKER_26Yeah, just enough, I get it.
SPEAKER_03I have no idea where where to get bounties.
SPEAKER_18Um the show you there's sorry. Mainly uh there's a bounty office nearby. We go there, they give us the bounties, they give us anything's there, we get to use their technology to check things out. It's pretty easy.
SPEAKER_03Um this is awkward. Uh I got attacked by an Ogremon this morning and defeated it and turned it in, and they said something about me possibly stealing a bounty. Any chance we can go check and see if that one's like not claimed yet, so that I could claim it since I did it.
SPEAKER_18If you've already brought it in, they would have taken it down. Okay, okay. Unless cool cool.
SPEAKER_03Alright. Well, can we can we go there anyway? I would like to know where it is.
SPEAKER_18Sure. We can go for a walk. Come, come on, we'll uh take you take you down there. Let me first grab my partner and we can check it out. As you come along to uh small ice cream car, which I'll just say like down here somewhere.
SPEAKER_12Sure.
SPEAKER_18Sure. Uh as you come forth, you would see sitting outside, you would hear, Oh, I don't know what I really want, but oh my god. Two ice creams, please. Whatever ice cream you would like to give me, I will take.
SPEAKER_05This is a toy version of 101s from the original show.
SPEAKER_18It is. And it sort of is, but it isn't. Uh, this is a toy version of Psychemon, which is a variant of Gabumon.
SPEAKER_22Okay, okay. Got you.
SPEAKER_18But yes, very close.
SPEAKER_03Um, as he does Wispy look like he's interested in ice cream. Wispy's never had ice cream. I'm gonna buy two kinds of ice cream as well.
SPEAKER_18You buy two kinds of ice cream, uh Simon pays for it as he sees it.
SPEAKER_24It doesn't you don't have to.
SPEAKER_18Don't worry about it, it's fine. I'm happy to pay. Plushie here. Oh plushie here is very intrigued by the coldness of it.
SPEAKER_17I love me some ice cream.
SPEAKER_24Okay, wispy?
SPEAKER_17A different type. I don't know if you I'm not a cold type, but I like cold type things.
SPEAKER_03That's great. I'm not cold blooded, but I like cold things too. Okay, um. Wispy, I don't know if you eat, but uh, do you wanna try one of these? And I will let him pick.
SPEAKER_25Which one?
SPEAKER_18And points his head at chocolate.
SPEAKER_03Okay, I'll hand him the chocolate one.
SPEAKER_18It just goes into the darkness.
SPEAKER_03Wait.
SPEAKER_18There is no visible reaction.
SPEAKER_03Wait a few seconds. Did you like that? Do you ever want to have that again if we see more ice cream?
SPEAKER_18He's just staring at you. Okay. Not a talkative one, hey?
SPEAKER_03No. But normally we could do some kind of charites. It seems like ice cream's not a big hit. That's that's fine. We'll find something you like.
SPEAKER_18Let's well, most of our cleaner work happens. We like to spread ourselves along the weekends.
SPEAKER_24That would be great.
SPEAKER_18In between. Do uh if you're up for like stay count work or you have a day off, you can come down and do such uh check things out with us. Do some investigations.
SPEAKER_03Have a day job Monday to Friday.
SPEAKER_18Uh no, Tomanaga said so.
SPEAKER_21Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_18So that's completely fine. You can take your time, do your job, and then meet up with us whenever you have time.
SPEAKER_24Right. Okay, uh completely different question. Um so I haven't seen Tojira in a few years.
SPEAKER_15Yeah.
SPEAKER_03That didn't go great, but how's he doing? Like in general, is he okay?
SPEAKER_18As I say, kid's got a lot of built-up rage in him.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, but people aren't. I guess people wouldn't be picking on him if he's strong now.
SPEAKER_18Nobody picks on Tojuro. Is there anything Him and not to mention he's the only one in our group that can keep his Digimon in its champion form? Which is impressive.
SPEAKER_25That's why it's so cool looking.
SPEAKER_12Sorry.
SPEAKER_25Okay. Alright. Um.
SPEAKER_22Can I see if I remember anything that he likes from when we knew each other in high school?
SPEAKER_18He was a real sensitive kid. Um, he liked all the like you already rolled for most of the thing. You know who he is. He was like, Well, yeah, but I mean, like he was always happy doing art and things like that. He was he was top of the class. He was smart as shit.
SPEAKER_26Oh. Hey. He really was top of the class. Clearly, I did not pay attention.
SPEAKER_18He was a big nerd. A lot of people like Bolydion. Like lots.
SPEAKER_03No, I get you. I feel like Shelby probably didn't, but she was just one of those people that was like there. So not helping, not hurting, but just fading into the background. And I don't think she was top of her class because her brains are not great. Nope. B's and C's, maybe, you know? Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Alright, well, I I think I have at least enough social knowledge to know that I should not just ask this older guy tons of questions about the guy I went to high school with because it's going to look a certain way. Um, do I have any Digimon questions?
SPEAKER_18That is a great question. Do you have any Digimon questions?
SPEAKER_03Um, I have the scanner app. Scanner app works. I could practice it on his Digimon, but it's obviously um it's obviously gonna be a rookie form based on what Simon just said. They told me about the hours, he's gonna show me where the bounty office is. I've already signed up, so I no longer have to make that choice. No. We have switched over to just vibing with the changes, so no, sounds great.
SPEAKER_18Welcome. Welcome to the team.
SPEAKER_03Thanks. Is the team name up for um The Lamplighters?
SPEAKER_24Yeah, no. What's what's this what does the lamp lighters mean?
SPEAKER_18Okay, uh, I have the meaning for this. Let me just get it.
SPEAKER_03Seriously? Did they exist before the session or did you make them up in the last session?
SPEAKER_18No, no, I've I've had them for ages.
SPEAKER_03Uh and you definitely don't try to railroad me on to things.
SPEAKER_18No.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_18You could have gone anywhere. But I had these guys ready, and I was like, these guys are cool. Like, give you the option to see them if I get the opportunity, but that's about it.
SPEAKER_07I it's just the realization that it's my sassy phone AI who's like, they're called bottom of the barrel, I'm calling them. Uh, instead of it actually being the team name. It's like, hmm.
SPEAKER_18The lamplighters. So it's a historical reference. Lamplighters were the people who lit the street lamps at dusk in pre-electric cities. They worked in the shadows, they kept city safe from unseen dangers, and they walked alone at night. Uh, it was meant to be a metaphor for bounty hunters who cleaned digital corruption before it spreads.
SPEAKER_24Who came up with the nymph?
SPEAKER_18Uh he get kind of sad. Is he uh oh. That's uh collective sort of thing, I guess. In a way. But um sorry. An old old friend of ours. She um doesn't work with us anymore.
SPEAKER_21She's the one who went to the motivated team.
SPEAKER_19Um can I be real with you?
SPEAKER_12Absolutely.
SPEAKER_18Sure. She didn't just leave us. She sort of She started this, we were all very close. Oh. And she sort of when she left, kind of made a big deal of it. She was good at what she did, so most groups wanted her, but she um I'm old enough that I I don't really care, but the others were pretty rocked by it. They uh she did not hold back.
SPEAKER_25Okay.
SPEAKER_03But just her first name, so if someone mentions her in conversation, I know who it is and not to ask about it.
SPEAKER_16Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Uh her first name?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Or whatever you guys would refer to her as. So if somebody says her name just so I know this is serious. It's not just like, oh, who's that person? Do they work next door?
SPEAKER_18Uh so sh her name was blah blah blah da da da. Kiho. Kiyomori.
SPEAKER_26Okay. Thanks.
SPEAKER_18Thank you. Honestly.
SPEAKER_26What?
SPEAKER_18Before you gave us the call.
SPEAKER_13Uh it's easy to say that we were a bit um rattled.
SPEAKER_12Oh my god.
SPEAKER_13You see, when you Sorry. When you are a cleaner, you've sort of gotta have enough uh we're the we're the lowest in the cleaner rankings at the moment.
SPEAKER_25You don't see.
SPEAKER_18However, most of the cleaner rankings are taken by the amount of cleaners you have. So it's an individual basis as well as a group.
SPEAKER_26Okay.
SPEAKER_13She put us on a level where we were still not going to be uh how do you how would you put it?
SPEAKER_12Like you weren't the top, but you were still respected or something?
SPEAKER_18No, no, we were never respected, but it was more of uh when you're too low, the public uh service doesn't care for it. So if they can, they'll just simply dissolve you.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_18Thankfully, if you have more than uh we learnt early on, even if you're the five lowest cleaners in the thing, your combined group rating is enough to tow over their current line.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_25Okay. Oh! Um that means I have a ranking.
SPEAKER_24Right, because I've turned something in already.
SPEAKER_18You would then, yeah. Definitely.
SPEAKER_26How do I see it?
SPEAKER_18Should be on your digital map.
SPEAKER_26We'll open the app!
SPEAKER_18Open the app. You're pretty low amongst the things, but I'm not the five lowest? You're not you're not in the 400s at the moment.
SPEAKER_03Um so give me some perspective. How many of us are there? Is it like 500 plus, 400 plus? What are what is not being 400?
SPEAKER_13The top five.
SPEAKER_03So I'm in between 400 and 500.
SPEAKER_02No, I'm below 500.
SPEAKER_03What where am I? Where am I?
SPEAKER_02You're above 400. I'm above 400. Okay. Alright, I'm in the bottom 100, but I have a rank.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_13That's right. So you'll you'll be Okay. Your status as a cleaner will be very well added to our books, essentially.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Cool. Alright, um. Alright, well, since there's not a decision anymore, since Kojuro decided for me, um. Let's just go to the bounty office. It it's okay. It's okay, man.
SPEAKER_18The kid needs to learn not to push people.
SPEAKER_03Don't worry about it. I understand why he does that.
SPEAKER_18You understand?
SPEAKER_21I watched some of the stuff that put him on the path that brought him here. And I didn't do anything about it.
SPEAKER_16You were involved with uh the sh are you from Shangri-La?
SPEAKER_24No!
SPEAKER_01Why was our school inside the egg?
SPEAKER_18No. No, it was not.
SPEAKER_25We went to school together. Is he from inside the Shangri-Li egg, actually?
SPEAKER_13Well, he um He ended up in the Shangri-Lai. He made it Yeah. Oh. But um It's He didn't come back out.
SPEAKER_10But what does that mean?
SPEAKER_13That's a rough, rough subject. We'll um maybe with time.
SPEAKER_25We'll just roll it back to don't worry about him being rude, okay? Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_18Just ignore him being rude. He'll um No. He'll liven up to you. It'll take time, but he'll liven up.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, this is just going to the bounty office.
SPEAKER_18Sure. As you start heading off, you get a message on yourself, Dummer. Uh it is from Slobay.
SPEAKER_14Uh, with the tagline I may need some help.
SPEAKER_05And that's where we're gonna end the session.
SPEAKER_18And that's where we're gonna end the session.
SPEAKER_19You knew it was coming.
SPEAKER_06I can't finish anything.
SPEAKER_03So this was kind of a mixed session. On one hand, my parents didn't really care that I almost died. But on the other hand, at least I have a cleaner team now. So that's resolved. We gotta we gotta really stretch for the silver linings. But they're there. Thanks for listening.
SPEAKER_12I'll see you next week. Bye.
