*sound of footsteps*

Hey, anyone listening? FlaWizardmon here. There's a giant battle going on in Neon right now. I bet the networks are going crazy!

Anyway, Harry's running towards it... because it's Harry, you know? He and trouble are like magnets -- he draws it, and it draws him.

He says to tell everyone in Neon City to get out and that if anyone needs to be evacuated from the fight zone, let him know and he'll make sure you get to the lightpost. And anyone without an Perfect-level Digimon should get out of the way. I here Axoryi is nice this time of year.

Aw, ashes, he got ahead of me...

So... um... hi.

Yeah, I'm back. How long has it been? I'd guess it's been about three-ish years on my end.

My apprentice was fine. Things are... getting heated up back home. Damn World Tree picked a hell of a time to grab me. Could have been worse -- a week earlier would have been worse.

Does anyone have any leftover chocolate or something from White Day or Valentine's Day or whatever? I want to do an experiment on Xellos. Ideally it should be a gift from a loved one.

Harry, people don't give that kind of stuff to strangers.

I know that, Candmon. But by now, anything edible has gone stale, so only a very dedicated person is going to be eating it.

Since someone's going to ask, talking with Lina Inverse revealed Xellos feeds on human emotion and his harmed by positive emotions. There's a type of vampires like that back home, and they can't touch anything imbued with love -- wedding rings, flowers given by boyfriends to girlfriends, that kind of thing.

How... corny.

Anyway, if I can stay uninterrupted by Candmon, I want to see if the same effect works on mazoku.

And, to be honest, if it doesn't, it's not like me giving Xellos stale food will do much more than make him wonder what is up. If he asks, it's a gift from the Cherrymon Street Business Association.

Like hell if I'm letting some tinpot dictator kick me out of my new city. If anyone else needs help moving, though, I'm happy to lend a hand or help you all find a place. And, if anyone stays, you're welcome to crash on my couch if you need a place to stay. I'm also happy to help set up defensive wards on places, though most of them are things that need to be tied to the people who live there.

We're going to have to do something about this, and I mean soon. If Ravemon is operating openly, then it makes it that much easier for him to build up strength. I've seen what happens when we get open warfare in Tetha -- it's not pretty.

[locked to Lina Inverse]
Tell me about mazoku. I'm used to the demons in my world, but not familiar with these.

So, hey, good thing. I evolved, and I think we helped save another Tamer.

Bad things is that my partner is injured. Again. Three times Tetha has been in trouble, and two times he gets something wrong with him. Hell, the third time we weren't in Tetha at the time, so it might explain why we didn't get hurt.

He's in a cast now -- the doctors noted that he heals fast and were more concerned about other Tamers, so they shuffled him off with that and some painkillers. Maybe it'll keep him out of trouble.

*muffled voice -- sounds like Harry*

Oh, Harry says that he'd be happy to trade favors with any healers to get the cast off more quickly. I assume he means healing, and not taking a hacksaw to it. Though you never know.

So, is it just me, or does this virus seem to be not going through the vast number of animal forms. I mean I haven't seen any people turning into a platypii or anything.

What's a platypii anyway?

Trust me, Candmon, you'd know one if you saw one. Makes me wonder if there is some kind of rhyme or reason to the transformations. I haven't been counting, but I see a lot of rabbits.

I need a place to stay for a while outside of Tetha. Preferably out of sight.

Also, we need to talk. Might want to talk to that superhero squad you hang around with as well. I'll be in D'Ango forest, but I have the lightpost data for Neon City if I need it.

(as always with Harry, locked post is hackable)

[public]
Office will be closing for a bit -- I'm on vacation, since Tetha seems to be having some problems. If you need me, contact me via D-Comm.

All right, I'm looking for someone who knows something about computers. I have a job for you.

[Locked to Ryo, hackable because Harry continues to fail at technology]
Speaking of jobs, I tried the spell. Your boyfriend isn't in Tetha, but you knew that. I could head to Neon and some other places and see if I find anything, but first I'm going to try to pick up his trail from your apartment, so if you see me outside, that's why.

You guys have my help in dealing with Doom, if you want it. Even if you don't. Not as part of Dresden Investigations, but as a favor. I can round up my own contacts as well.

I never was impressed with him as a comic book villain, anyway.

((OOC: Lock is hackable -- Harry is not good with computers))

I have to remember to get a suit. And... what do Digimon wear as formal wear anyway?

Depends on the Digimon. Don't worry about it, Harry.

As long as this goes better than the last wedding I went to -- then again, we already had the rescue of the bride from someone with a grudge against the happy couple, so that shouldn't happen again.

Harry, you make it sound like that's a normal part of the ceremony. What kind of people did you hang out with back home?

The kind that accidentally pissed off a faerie queen helping me out. Good kids, though. I'm happy for them. Happy for Masaru and Yoshino as well.

I fear for you if you ever get married.
