Who: Rin + Ed
What: Adventure Time!
When: December 8-??
Where: THE WILDERNESS

[So after (Or maybe still during, what do I know?!) thoroughly discussing Ed's ridiculous love life much to his chagrin, there still is a very important thing for the intrepid duo of explorers to do:]

[Actually explore.]

[Ed, for his part, is leading the way through the mountains with a Kyubimon ready nearby for protection.]

W-well... at least the weather's nice?

[And then, lightning on a clear day. Good job, Ed.]

Only if magic's involved. I can take apart and put together all sorts of spells people've never even heard of, but I'm no good at techie stuff.

Mylene always handled that. [Man she'd be useful right now. Even if she is more grating than even Rin.]

[ Rin and her would likely buddy up pal, so stop thinking like that. ]

Great, so your only skill is nearly dying. I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

[ Dropping to her knees and digging through for circuit boards as well as a few other choice items. Just whatever she can get. ]

Ever build a computer?

[...oh god NO that would be terrifying.]

I have a lot of other skills too...!

[Ed attempts to help scrounge through for things that look like what Rin is grabbing.]

Though, I've never built a computer. I once had to put together a house though.

A house? [ Then why isn't he back in the city helping with the rebuild? ] Was it actually habitable or did you build it for looks?

[ She's joking really... ]

It was habitable. The plumbing was really hard to get down, and so was the electric wiring...

Ahh, but I guess building stuff with magic isn't really applicable to this place. [ahaha... ha.]

It could be.

I mean this is a world with an unknown set of rules to us. All we have to do is crack it and find out what's considered 'magic', then exploit it for our own use.

...that's true.

[Maybe being a gigantic magic nerd will finally pay off!!]

But then, where would we start trying to crack things? I've already confirmed that no normal form of magic works here, and I can't get my Crest of Tenacity to do that cool healing thing it did on command.

You've confirmed that the rules you've come to know don't apply here. That's not the same as confirming that there's no magic. After all, there's something that can cause Digimon to change forms and what they use is a form of magic, isn't it?

Well... The rules I know, alongside the rules of any other mage that I've met. So a lot of rules.

There's still paranormal stuff going on here, but it's all related to the Digimon, Digivices, Crests, and stuff like that. Right now, I can tell that it involves a transfer and occasionally magnification of energy, but I don't know for sure if it's necessarily magic or just really advanced science. Technically, we're all just data, right?

All right, so how do you figure out the magical abilities the Digimon use? Conjuring forth water and fire--there's no way that's technology unless they're manipulating the data and turning it into something we see.

In which case it's our eyes that are betraying us.

Oh, I should scan Digimon abilities someday. I need to note that, hold on.

[Holding on.]

That's.... a really good point. Maybe their magic is just manipulating data. In that case, it might be possible to copy it if we knew how.

Orrrr it could just be an illusion. [ Tapping her chin. ]

An illusion?

Howso?

You know like magician's and their magic tricks? Something like that.

...I've been on the business end of one of those attacks.

They're definitely not magic tricks. At least not like stage magicians do. It's definitely more like my kind of magic. [Nodnod]

What were you doin... no, now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I want to know why you ran into a Digimon's attack.

A digimon attacked me with a hallucination field.

Alex had her digimon hit me with an attack to knock me out of it. A weak one.

Definitely not illusions.

And you just kind of took it?

[ So whipped by all the girls. ]

Well... I wasn't in any condition to dodge.

I was hallucinating paradise and had no clue where I actually was.

I've heard about this before... About a Digimon that can do those kind of things.

Yeah, it was while we were fighting Lotusmon.

I, I don't like the fact we can be caught off-guard so simply by a Digimon's ability. It seems unfair.

A lot of the abilities of the stronger digimon are really unfair.

The only thing we can really do about it is to study them, learn what they can do, and then come up with ways around it.

Or we make our Digimon as strong.

They can go beyond Champion as well.

I know... Kyubimon can go all the way to ultimate.

But for that... you need a crest. And you need to be able to use it.
