Just outside their apartment:

Takato had been spending a lot of time recently working on a project. Today he'd decided to move outside, where he had spread out a large sheet of paper. Pulling out some crayons, he was putting the finishing touches onto it.

Guilmon sniffs curiously at the edge of the paper. "Takato! Is that a flag like before?"

Takato nods and grins at his friend as he looks up.

"That's right! Its been a while since we arrived here, right? I thought maybe if we could find somewhere to put this up it would help our friends find us."


Access Park:

Takato looks around the park, where they'd invited some of their new friends to come and play.

"Well, it looks like no one else is here yet. Should we go ahead and start?"

Guilmon cheers and nods. "Guilmon will go hide first! Don't forget to count, Takato!"


Access Park, Later

Taking a break from games, Takato had headed over to a picnic table, where he spread out his collection of cards. He busies himself trying to decide which cards he should keep in his deck for fighting. But he eventually glances up when someone comes by.

"This? This is the Digimon card game. Have you ever played?"

"Guilmon means our highest evolution," Takato explains. "We evolve together into Dukemon. And when we're like that, we're a knight digimon."

[steelfanged]

"A knight digimon... but you have no formal training, correct?" He's just trying to make sure that he can fit everything into his frame of reference.

[dreamtamer]

Takato shakes his head.

"We've never stayed like that for very long. Actually we've never had any kind of training at all."

It was more like... When they were Dukemon there was some part of them that knew how to act and speak and fight.

[steelfanged]

"I see. Knights are trained from a very young age where I am from... and we continue training as we get older."

"And apparently do nothing else. Like have fun."

[dreamtamer]

"That sounds like a lot of work. Does it take a long time to become a knight?"

Guilmon looks upset at this. "Knights can't have fun?"

[steelfanged]

"It does. And..." Well. Kaoru's always on him about how serious he is, but...

"We're too busy to 'have fun'. We train during the day and fight Horrors at night. We can't afford to rest or engage in frivolous activities."

[dreamtamer]

"You don't rest or have fun at all? That's awful!" Takato immediately starts worrying about him. "What do you do if you need to rest? Everyone needs to take some time off sometimes."

[steelfanged]

"I do take sufficient rest. But we always have to be ready to help defend people - they don't even know about what's so dangerous, but we defend them regardless."

Those that do know about Horrors... don't tend to last too long.
