I hadn't realized it was so much in comparison... I often err on the side of more information than less - I felt especially so since I didn't know when I'd have time to greet everyone properly! If I arrived somewhere without a host, I would at least like a message from them...
Though I've been trying to find the balance between my tendency toward over-explanation and how much a person might be willing to read...
no, i'm sure they appreciated that part at least showing up in a new world is always a little weird, especially if you don't know what's going on or remember or whatever but maybe stick to a voice memo next time? or wait the phones don't work a picture slideshow?
it would probably keep people's attention spans for longer than just text. i know it'd work for me i have though, yeah. this is the second time this has happened, but this place is a little more normal than the first world that's how i got that device i'm looking for and that's why it's important i get it back
You called it a Digivice? Hmmm. Can I ask what it normally allows you to do? And in honor of being straightforward - will you be asking Chad for this exchange or myself?
right it does a few things, but mostly it helps me give power to my partner so he can evolve ...in honor of being straightforward, i'm not sure yet sorry. i know i probably should ask you because you're the one who's asking the questions and answering stuff but i am still part of chad's dorm
Hehe, no, it's alright, I understand. I would've been displeased if you immediately said me. Loyalty is something I like too. In that case, please let me know what you decide - I won't negotiate prices with you until you make a decision. But even if you choose Chad for this exchange, I only ask you remember me for the next one, or if you ever decide a dorm switch is in your future.
no, yamato has his own partner. gabumon mine's agumon but thanks for understanding i know it's meant to be a competition, but i think it would be okay to make an exchange with you one time as long as somebody from your dorm made an exchange with chad in my place there's nothing against the rules for that, is there? and i appreciate it, but...to be honest, the dorm switch isn't going to be up to me but i'll keep it in mind
Oh! What is Agumon like? I presume I will have to ask Yamato about Gabumon.
Hmmm, while there's nothing against the rules for that, it does take the wind out of the sails of the competition. I'll consider the offer, but I'd rather not invite opportunity for poor trades to be made. I'd rather you make a deal with me because you sincerely want to lend me a hand, too.
May I ask what you mean that your dorm switch wouldn't be up to you?
[give him a second before he sends a pretty terrible drawing that looks close enough to a baby.]
he's the best. it's pretty hard to describe him, but it's pretty hard not to like him either even if he spends more time thinking with his stomach than his head. but he's...pretty much my best friend. i think he understands things about me better than i do half the time without that device, i can't help him. if i can't help him, it's like i'm letting him down. i don't want to do that, even if he's not here right now
...anyway...i get it. just thought it'd be worth asking but it does take the competitive edge off, huh? we still have a long year, viola. who knows?
[he doesn't answer the question about the dorm swapping because it's already a weird subject and he's not sure how to deal with it at the moment.]
Oh he looks like a small dinosaur! I see... It seems like you really are very close. Have you been best friends for a long time? The idea of missing someone dear to you... It's a familiar one to me. I hope that you'll be able to meet again soon.
Well, I suppose you're right - who knows? Hmm... I've already told you I'm competitive and that's true - But I hope you know that while the invitation will always be open, I do want to get to know you outside of Dorm Wars. I know the shades can get a little murky considering recruitment is part of competition - so I'd rather clear them up now. I hope we can continue to get along, Taichi.
haha yeah, that's his child form whenever they evolve or devolve they change appearances he was koromon when i last saw him. a little different than that form ...but i hope so, too. we don't get to see them as often anymore, and we'd been separated for a bit right before i got back and then came here
i think we'll continue to get along just fine you've been really open about everything even when i'm not a part of your dorm i know you're busy with your classes and stuff but if you have time, maybe we can hang out in person next week or something i'd like to know more about what you're studying anyway
Evolving or devolving... Do you mean transforming like a caterpillar to a butterfly? And your Digivice can help with that? Wow... Is that so? If he is tied to the Digivice, is he in a different world from yours?
Well, I do think that the basic rules of engagement should be laid out fairly. Even if you're not a part of my dorm, that doesn't mean I don't care about you. I'd love to hang out when we're all free from our meetings! Do you have an interest in Political Science? Be careful, I think I could really talk your ear off.
something like that, yeah. except when they're low on energy they can go back from being a butterfly into a caterpillar the digivice helps but it's...technically us, i guess, and the digivice is a tool to help connect us
it's a competition but i do want to talk to all of you more so let me know when you're free, or i'll follow up myself next week maybe some of the construction will be done and there's more to campus to check out
to be honest i'm not sure i think i just want to hear about what other people are interested in
Oh, I've never heard of a reverse metamorphosis. That sounds cute too, though. It's you...? There really are so many forms of magic. It's hard for me to understand, but I'm grateful to learn regardless.
Oh yes! Hopefully so - the construction crews are hard at work, after all. I'm sure you'll know when the four of us can meet up as soon as it's possible.
Really? Well, that's a very sweet answer. I'll tell you what I'm interested in as long as you return the favor - I wanted to know about your passions and interests too.
yeah, it took us a while to really understand it too or maybe i still don't totally understand it because they can still evolve even further than we thought but hopefully it's not too weird
i'll keep an eye out then and...sure. i guess it's only fair i'll save that kind of stuff for in person then, but i think that's about all i have to ask at the moment thanks for the answers, especially when you're busy
It's a bit weird to me, yes, but... well, it's not in a bad way, I promise. Thank you for explaining that much to me - I hope you'll share more again. Your drawings are very helpful - I like imagining what they must be like in person.
I'm happy to help. Thank you for reaching out, Taichi!

but maybe stick to a voice memo next time?
or
wait the phones don't work
a picture slideshow?
no subject
Well I can certainly try.
But you speak as though you've showed up in a new world unexpected before, Taichi?
What an odd thing to have happen to you twice.
no subject
i have though, yeah. this is the second time this has happened, but this place is a little more normal than the first world
that's how i got that device i'm looking for
and that's why it's important i get it back

That's not Yamato, I take it...
