It was daybreak over Server Woods - fresh dew clinging to the leaves and foliage scattered about the forest, as the light began to slowly seep in... All was quiet, here - perhaps unnaturally so, there being not even the sounds of insects or birds, and no signs of any digimon or life to be found but the trees that stood stoically tall over the undergrowth...
... And two small In-Training digimon, whom were scavenging about amidst the eerie quiet. Neither twin really knew that it was supposed to be this quiet - and yet, they also knew that they didn't exactly care for this solitude, either. All they knew was each other, and this empty forest, through which they searched for their next meal...
"Hun-gry..." The Negamon murmured, xyr voice somewhat robotic, as xe ran xyr tentacles along one of the bushes. Nothing but leaves and branches, sadly - nothing to eat here. But...
"Found Food!" Chirped the Monimon, as she scampered over to Negamon's side, briefly running in circles. "C'mon, c'mon, found food!"
"Food?" Negamon perked up from xyr attention on the bush, watching Monimon's scamper. "... Fo-od! Show fo-o-od?"
"C'mon! C'mon!" And thus, the little Monimon was off - scampering along, as the Negamon attempted to float after. The duo would weave between the trees briefly as they made their trek, and before long, would find themselves at a tree where large and ripe-looking fruits were hanging from its boughs. They looked delicious...!!
Monimon attempted to scamper up the trunk, although she lacked the grip to properly do so - and would tip backwards, landing on her back! "Whoops!" Yelping, the Monimon's screen would display an alarm sign as she wiggled like a stuck turtle. "Help-"
Thankfully though, Negamon would immediately notice Monimon's plight, and xe would immediately come to xyr sister's aid - wrapping xyr tentacles around her to flip her back upright. "Le-t me," Xe suggested, floating up the tree, and gathering up a number of fruit in xyr tentacles. They smelled nice, and Negamon had the hopes that they would taste nice as well - descending down to split the fruits between the both of them. "He-re. We e-at!" Xe declared, before digging in to xyr share!
"Eat, eat!" Monimon chirped happily in response, and she wasted no time in eating as well - a munching animation appearing on her screen, as 'bites' disappeared out of the fruit, bit by bit. And indeed, it was yummy-sweet; she loved it! She couldn't get enough - and it was good to know that there was a lot of fruits up on that tree! ... Although, given that she was only In-Training, a few fruits were plenty to satisfy her hunger, too!
Once they both had their fill though, there came a question... "... Whe-re go, n-ow...?" Negamon asked, tilting xyr head. Everything looked the same, no matter what directon they went, so Negamon wasn't sure - but....
"Hmmm..." Monimon seemed to have an idea, as she glanced about - Negamon couldn't tell what was on her mind, at least not without trying to interface, but xe wasn't interested in doing such. Instead, xe'd just wait and watch as she hummed and hawwed it over, before deciding... "... This way!" And thus, she was off - darting along through the undergrowth!
Negamon blinked a little, but xe wouldn't linger long, being quick to follow after xyr sister, calling "Wai-t up..!"
Thus, the two siblings would be sent scampering along through the woods - at a path that only Monimon seemed to know about. And what might they find, in here - a place where only monsters and the dead wander...?

Where does the forbidden path begin, and wheresoever would it dare to lead? A question who's answer may yet never be found lay upon the path being taken by the twins, scampering through the woods with curiosity and hunger. Yet, the woods were not always so willing to bequeath the means to sate such. It fell unto the denizens of the wood, then. If the twins were cognizant of their surroundings, they may note a lone woman with brown hair, and auburn eyes sitting at the base of a tree, as if resting. However, something was...off. She seemed almost transparent. Crystal clear, ethereal in nature. As if lost in another world, yet all too aware of this one. Who was she? Why? "Going a little fast, are we? It's better to slow down sometimes, you know? Helps you see everything sometimes--whereas going fast means you can miss out." It seemed as if the woman had not made a noise herself, yet her words were able to be understood by any who heard. What would the twins do...? |

Left and right, up and down, Monimon would scamper every which way like a bat both out of hell, and on a mission. The only saving grace in the little digimon's wanderings, was that Negamon was pretty sure that they weren't treading on ground that they've already been in before, but to be honest, Negamon's memory has always been a little hazy-staticy in a way that didn't always comfort xem. Still, xe believed in xyr sister, and so xe wouldn't question her choice of path!
Especially because - for once - things were going to be different today.
Negamon would be the one to notice that someone else was here, in the forest - someone seated at the base of a nearby tree. Slowing to a stop, xe almost forgot about how xe was supposed to be following after Monimon! However, before xyr sister could fall out of sight... "Wa-it!" Xe called to Monimon, watching as the fellow In-Training would come to a stop, glancing back at xem quizzically. "Over the-re. See som-eo-ne...!"
"Oh?" Following Negamon's gesture towards the stranger, Monimon would perk up upon noticing this... ... Actually, what were they..? Given that neither of them had ever seen any other digimon or humans before, they were understandably quite puzzled by the sight of the ghostly girl - who was now speaking to them, in fact! In words they could understand! This had Monimon perking up as she ran up to the girl - chirping "Hello! Who're you?" with an almost cute-looking little question mark on her screen.
Negamon would share in this curiosity - although xe wouldn't express it in quite the same way as Monimon did. Instead, almost tentatively, xe would reach a tentacle out in the girl's direction - a little red jolt of viral energy connecting them for but the briefest of moments, as Negamon attempted to interface with her. Attempted to look into any data or programming that xe could access, to better understand her and learn of who she was. Hopefully, the In-Training's rather invasive method of investigating wouldn't offend..!

It was odd. These two had a familiar air about them, yet the ghost could not figure out why, at least...not yet. Whether she noticed Negamon's action was uncertain, that was for sure. As for what they could discern? Something that was being kept here by an unknown force, or an unknown purpose.
Something that wanted to go along to where they were meant to go, but could not. Why? Something that was stabbed through the heart, and damned as a result.
The girl timidly reached out to offer the Negamon a small, gentle pat as she would answer Monimon. "Ah...Nobody in particular. I used to be one of the Chosen Children, but...That ended a time ago. I'm just someone who lives here now, helping people get to where they need to be." A pause.
"It's nothing bad, just...Mmm. The woods get samey after a while. And I don't know if any settlements would let a data wraith in..."
Negamon did know one thing about this girl as a result of the interfacing, however.
The dead girl had a name.
Aizawa Reika.
Elsewhere, two others would walk down this perilous road, traveled by few. One clad in a cloak, the other in his highest form. The human decided to ask, "Why this path, if it's so unsafe?"
The Digimon replied, "It's a quick way to get to the side Rosewood's on...However, it is also a quick way to get lost." ...Yet...there lay something within the woods. A pull, a tug...Why follow it?
Where would it take them?

Negamon tilted xyr head one way, and then the other, as xe regarded and attempted to sort through the information offered from interfacing with the mystery girl. She was... Stuck here? But wanted to come with them? But what had her stuck here - what stabbed her through the heart - what damned her...? What is a heart? What does it mean to be damned? Who--
Negamon jolted a bit in surprise at being patted on the head, although xe found xemself unable to help but press up into the touch eagerly - this felt nice... Gentle... It helped fill and warm that strange gap in xyr core. It felt right.
Monimon, meanwhile, was curios as could be - perking up a little at some of these new terms that this mystery girl offered. "Ooh, ooh! What is... Chosen Children?" She asked first, bouncing up and down with excited and curious little emoticons displaying on her screen. "And, uhm, Data Wraith? What is data wraith?" That sounded like it might be something scary, but.. If this girl was a data wraith, then maybe it wasn't so bad? She seemed really nice!
Even if this ghost didn't share her name though, it didn't take long for Negamon to find it, as xe briefly searched through her data - almost as though xe was drifting along mentally. "... Ai-zawa... Re-i-ka..." Negamon breathed, contemplative. "R-eika.... Touch aga-in...?" Xe requested softly, drifting closer to her. That pat felt nice. Xe wanted more of it - to help make that void in xyr core go away, if even for a little bit...

...
One of the two knew her name. Why? Why did they know her name? A pang of alarm briefly made itself known upon the ghost's face, before she shook her head. No, it was likely...something from what the black one did. The wraith tilted her head towards Monimon, and offered a single nod.
"It was a term used for humans that found themselves in the world we're talking in! ...Well, it was. I dunno if it's a thing anymore, I...I haven't got the best sense of time. A data wraith's...a remnant, to put it lightly. I'm...not alive like you two are, yet I can't really go anywhere else."
That was all that the wraith had an understanding of regarding her condition--at the very least, she knew she was as common a ghost story as the Impmon in the woods, yet...she wasn't harmful, right?
Negamon had drifted closer, and the wraith decided to oblige--she kept petting xem, offering a soft smile. "Most don't come here unless they're searching for something, though..." Reika would muse.
Two pairs of footsteps would be heard growing closer to the trio, with one pausing abruptly as the other drew ever nearer--a girl with ghostly white skin, and a Kotemon, who seemed to have paused in abject...horror? Fear?
"Ooooh, people, hi, do you know where Rosewood is from here?" The girl asked. "My buddy and I kind of got lost..."
The wraith tilted their head. What would the twins do?

Alarm. Negamon could tell that it was there, through the link - sharp and sudden and blaring, though xe didn't entirely understand it, beyond that it seemed bad. Xe didn't know what caused it, either - was the name bad? Xe was initially worried; but as the alarm faded away, Negamon would soon begin to calm down as well - breaking the connection, due to having not found anything else of interest to glean from interfacing with the wraith. Xe knew her name, and that was enough.
Monimon, meanwhile, wasn't quite as aware of Reika's alarm - given that she hadn't been interfaced to the wraith. Instead, she only had the girl's face to go off of - the brief odd expression prompting Monimon to tilt her head (or more accurately, her body) in a puzzled fashion. Was everything okay...?
Well, it seemed like things were okay - and Monimon was also easily distracted away from Reika's previous display of alarm when the ghostly girl began explaining to the little In-Training what things like wraiths and chosen children were! "Oh; okay..!" However...
... That only raised more questions, for the child. "What is... Humans?" Monimon asked next - she'd never heard of those before! Was Reika a human? Or - well - did she used to be human, before she became a... Data Wraith? (Which, Monimon still didn't 100% get, but she was pretty sure she had an okay idea of what wraiths were!)
Meanwhile, Negamon was perfectly happy to melt against Reika, xyr eye closing as xe let out a soft (and jittery, given xyr voice) sigh in contentedness. This felt nice - very nice. Xe could just remain here forever, really; although as Reika spoke, xyr eye would open once more as xe gazed up to her. "... Don't th-ink... we'r-e se-a-rching...?" Xe murmured, thoughtful.
"Unless searching for new stuff?" Monimon thought out loud, tilting her head as she settled down next to Reika. "Just sorta... Woke up here! Began going every way since!" Neither sibling had any real sense of which way they were going - all they knew was the woods, so they didn't know that there was anywhere else that they could be going.
However, the sounds of footsteps would draw the twins' attentions; both In-Training turning their gazes towards... Another human(?), and a digimon..! Monimon perked up a bit at this, being quick to scamper over to the young girl, with cheery-friendly emoticons displaying across her screen. "Hello! Hello!" She chirped, practically bouncing along. "Don't know where Rosewood - what is Rosewood? Are you human?"
Negamon, meanwhilst, would turn xyr gaze towards the Kotemon, tilting xyr head in curiosity. Slowly, but surely, xe would part from Reika (as much as xe wanted more petting, it felt so nice...) to approach the Kotemon, wondering who they were. And once xe was close enough, another red jolt of viral energy would spark outwards from the Negamon's antenna, as xe attempted to interface with the Kotemon, and look into their head... Who were they?
(And for that matter, would this Kotemon take kindly to a digimon that almost looked like a Keramon-type trying to peek into their head?)

At the question of what a human was, Reika could only really gesture to herself. "It's what I used to be. I think I still am one, but...mmm...There's a lot of theory there." She mused, before shaking her head. The way the twins were speaking seemed to indicate they were newborn Digimon--which...didn't surprise her.
There was another like them that went this way once. They weren't the first, nor the last, likely...
"That's one way to do things. But...you'll find more new things if you know where they are." ...She was never great with kids. Guess even death doesn't fix that. With the arrival of the two, Rei simply lifted her hand in a wave, a solemn smile creeping over her face as she took note of the Kotemon. Eye contact was made. Moments of silence exchanged.
"Hey, buddy. It's been a while, huh?"
Not a word was given by the Kotemon--he was more shocked that the girl was even here. He thought she was gone in all senses of the word, replaced by a monster, yet...Why? Miyako meanwhile tilted her head. "Well, I'm definitely a human--I mean, I look like a ghost apparently but I'm totally, one hundred percent, definitely a human." The albino nodded, as if to emphasize. "If I can ask, why do you ask?"
Negamon meanwhile found xyr attempts at ignoring the Kotemon's personal space were met with a light push away from them--in a figurative sense. Whatever information was gleaned from the Kotemon was...muddied, yet Negamon could absolutely make out pangs of sorrow, mixed with further alarm.
Alarm directed at them. Yet...it felt familiar.
Finally, the Kotemon asked.
"Why?"

Used to be human, but also might still be human? "So... Wraith... But also maybe-human?" Monimon murmured out loud, mostly to herself, as she mulled over Rei's words - a thoughtful expression displayed on her monitor as she hummed to herself. That seemed a little confusing... But also kinda made sense, maybe? Monimon wasn't 100% sure. This was something that would need some thinking over another time.
And so would the concept of finding new things if she knew where they were! It seemed like a no-brainer that if you knew where something was, you could find it, but how does one know where something is when that something is new to you? This would briefly pull Monimon into a state of intense thought - which is made even more intense by the fact that this was being done with her lil baby brain!
Though that would be up until Miyako and Mantis made their appearances - and as Miyako responded to Monimon's questions, the little tv-digimon would nod eagerly. "Okay! So Reika really is human-wraith-thingy, right?" Monimon chirped, before glancing back to the wraith in question - as if to see if Reika would confirm or deny this. Reika certainly looked like a human, even if she was a weird wraith-y human, so this all added up to Monimon!
But, Miyako would also ask about why Monimon wanted to know - to which she'd display a happy smile up at the young girl, responding "Never met humans! Reika is new! You are new! New is exciting!" with a cheery giggle, briefly bouncing in place, before she'd perk up upon realizing something. "Oh, Also! Who are you?" Monimon asked next, tip-tapping in place.
Meanwhile though, Negamon would feel that gentle push - and though xe would respond with a faint sense of confusion and inquiry, xe acquiesced - staying away from any parts of Mantis' mind that xe was pushed away from. It was hard to make heads or tails of what information xe did manage to glean, though - besides more senses of emotions. That sharp-sudden-blaring emotion was there, once more - but there was also something more dreary, an undercurrent...
And there was also the question, too - that 'why - though xe wasn't sure how to respond. Xe wasn't sure what this Kotemon was even asking 'why' about, either! That sense of familiarity, too... It was all so confusing, to little Negamon; and it took a bit for xem to decide to finally cut the connection, and respond.
"D-d-on't kno-w... W-hy al-ar-m...? Wh-y s-ad...?" Xe'd respond, first, a soft sense of confusion apparent in xyr tone, even past the jittery voice xe had. "Is... O-ka-y? D-o I... Kno-w..? Y-ou...?" Negamon questioned next, tilting xyr head gently, as xe slowly circled around Mantis - examining him as xe added "Su-pp-ose-d to kn-ow...?"

Not even Rei know what precisely was wrong with her--and it wasn't like there was anybody she could go to to ascertain what it was for certain. All she knew was that she was here now. And had been. She just nodded to Monimon for the moment. She had some sense of the right of it.
"Aww, I can be exciting? Neat." Miyako giggled--seeming more focused on Monimon rather than the horrible mental health erosion going on near her. "My name's Miyako, so...I guess I can turn that question around. Who are you? Who's your friend? And who are they...?" She gestured to Negamon.
It was only then that she noticed what was going on. Oh...Oh. "Maybe you did once. Maybe you didn't. Maybe you were supposed to know me, or maybe you weren't. That was then, this is now. I don't think I'm okay--though, I guess it's more accurate to say I have not been okay in a while."
Mantis' words were neutral. He couldn't hold any...disdain for children, even if they were echoes of that...that thing. That thing wearing a friend's skin. Rei just quietly...sat in silence, before looking to Miyako. "...You're so small for his new tamer..." Aizawa intuition at it's finest.
A quick glance to Monimon from the ghost. "...The one next to your sibling is a Kotemon--he was a friend of mine. He's a little different now but...he's good people." She explained, while Miyako stared on in confusion.
"You're Rei, then?"
A pause. The wraith looked surprised. She had not expected the kid to know of her...But, she nodded nonetheless. Miyako wasn't sure what to do, truth be told....

Oh; the new human had lots more questions for her, too! Monimon would meet the first question - who she was - with thoughtfulness, though. "Don't have name..." Monimon began - did she need a name, she wondered? Did Negamon need a name? Names sounded cool..! "But... Am Monimon!" She then declared, giggling all the whilst.
Then there was the question if her friend - to which Monimon briefly glanced back to Rei once more, before glancing to Miyako and responded "Friend is Reika, also! Reika is... Data Wraith, she said - and Maybe-Probably-Definitely-Is human! And... Chosen Children! Or used to... ... Chosen Wraith?" Monimon tilted her head a bit quizzically at this. Nothing was stopping Reika from being a Chosen Children-Wraith-Whatever, was there?
And finally, in regards to the third and last question... "Is sibling!" Monimon responded, beaming with pride. Sibling felt like the right word, the two had agreed - and Monimon thought that Negamon was a pretty great sibling, at that! "Sibling is Negamon - woke up with xem in forest!"
And speaking of Negamon... Mantis had a lot to say to xem - although a good amount of it would end up possibly going over the young In-Training's head a little bit. Did this mean that xe was supposed to know him, or was xe not supposed to? Did xe ever really know him? This roundabout speech really confused Negamon, and maybe made xyr head hurt a little...
But one thing that xe could gather, was that Mantis was definitely not okay; something that would be met with a soft and faintly concerned "O-oh..." ... Was this something xe could fix? Like when xe and Monimon would connect to each other, to help xem sort xyr thoughts and emotions out? Or maybe...?
Slowly, carefully, Negamon would rise up Mantis' head, and tentatively extend a tentacle - attempting to... Pat the Kotemon on the head, like Rei did for xem. "Fe-el-s goo-d, wh-en R-ei-ka to-uch..." Xe explained softly, briefly. "Do-es t-o-uch fee-l g-o-od fo-r you...?"
Negamon didn't really know how to comfort Mantis, but xe was sure trying!
As Reika explained Mantis to Monimon, meanwhile, the little tv would turn her gaze to the Kotemon as well, before nodding in understanding. "Okay!" She responded, briefly wiggling. "Kotemon is good and friend, then!" She'd glance between everyone present, though, before adding in question "Does Kotemon have name? What is name?"

"Monimon's a nice name, it's very good to meet you!" Miyako gave an earnest grin at that. Before it faded towards neutrality once more--she had no idea what precisely a data wraith was, but she knew who Rei herself was. "Chosen Children...like a tamer?"
"Yeah, actually, exactly like that." Rei nodnodded! Of course, Miya...was a bit confused by the pronouns used to refer to Negamon. "...Xem...?" She repeated to herself. That was new to her. Best to keep listening for the other two pieces of the pronoun puzzle.
Mantis on the other hand, didn't really expect Negamon to understand his words--the In-Training was an In-Training...and most of those were never really wordsmiths, right? Especially given who he was certain this one came from.
"...She always had a way with smaller Digimon." Mantis noted. "I cannot say for certain. If I'm being honest, I kind of don't want to be here, and yet...I don't think I can leave."
"I knew what his name was, once upon a time. Yet, if Miyako-san is to be believed...that's not his name anymore." Rei shrugged. "So, kiddo, what's his name?" Miya perked up at that.
"Oh. Praying Mantis--I just call him Mantis for short because it's kind of a mouthful..." She began, trailing off before Rei started snickering. "You sly dog, I get the joke...!" That prompted Mantis to peer in her direction briefly. "No. You don't." Before he returned his attention to Negamon, a gloved hand reaching out to cautiously pat them.
"I caught bits of your sister's talk--do either of you think you need names that don't end in -mon?" Mantis decided to inquire.

"Good to meet you, too!" Monimon responded to Miyako, a cheery little kaomoji displaying itself across her screen. Especially given that Miyako, Rei, and Mantis were the first actual living people that the twins had seen thus far! At the question of Negamon's pronouns though, Monimon didn't seem to realize that Miyako was mostly repeating to herself - instead nodding with a bright smile. "Yep! Xem!" She confirmed. "Negamon is xe; it's comfy for xem!" It was something that the two had some time to figure out, talking amongst themselves.
Negamon, meanwhile, would mull over Mantis' words, before tilting xyr head a little bit. "... Wh-y... Ca-a-n't l-eav-e?" Xe'd eventually ask, continuing to try and stroke the Kotemon's head. "W-hy wa-n-t leave...? I-s... so-meth-i-ng sca-ry...?" Slowly, xe'd begin to look around, almost as if xe thought xe'd spot some big scary monster lurking in the shadows... Mantis was clearly bigger and stronger than either twin, so if something was scaring him, then surely it'd be especially scary for them as well!
However, there was something else that would be met with curiosity from the twins - Mantis' name, in fact! "Man-ti-s..." Negamon breathed to xemself, as if to try and memorize his name; before closing xyr eye and tilting into the Kotemon's touch when he headpatted xem "... M-ant-is tou-ch... Fe-e-ls nic-e, to-o..." Xe sighed contentedly, relaxing.
Monimon, however, would end up tilting her head a little. "Praying Mantis..." She'd murmur to herself, before glancing between the trio and asking "Why is Mantis praying? What's the joke?" ... It was probably pretty obvious by now, that neither twin really understood human world things - including that of insects from the human world.
The question of a name, though, was an interesting one; Negamon would open xyr eye to peer curiously at Mantis, mulling over the question. "... Ma-yb-e?" Xe'd soon respond, all the while gently pressing xyr head into Mantis' palm for more pats. "Na-me... So-und-s ni-ce..."
"Oooh, yeah!" Monimon chirped in agreement, bouncing in place. "Everyone has names... We'll try names, too! What name?"

Now, before one may make the excuse of Miyako quite literally being ten, one has to remember that Miyako, unlike most ten year olds, was actually pretty well-read, smart. For a ten year old. She was familiar with the idea of individuals going by pronouns that one may not expect them to go by.
So, Monimon's words were...easier to process. Xem. Xe. Something to respect. The albino nodded her head. "Okay. Whatever makes xem comfy, right?"
Speaking of xem, Mantis shrugged. "There isn't anything stopping me. Just...Bad things happened here." Things that he, in truth, would rather have left forgotten. Buried in the sands of time.
Despite his perceived danger, though...? Mantis...didn't feel any threat lingering near. Miya looked to Monimon, tilting her head. Well, she was happy to explain! "Welllll...See, a Praying Mantis is an animal from the human world--super cool, right? It does a lot of fighty stuff. I...don't know why he decided to name himself after the animal, though."
"Because I fucking hate hummingbirds."
Both Miyako and Rei immediately snapped their attention to Mantis, and uttered "Language." at near the exact same time. It was kind of spooky to Miyako, who quickly covered her mouth.
Ignoring that, Mantis glanced to the twins. "...Names...should be whatever you think sounds best. So, it can be whatever you want, in theory."

"Yup yup!" Monimon confirmed, a bright smile lightning up on her screen as she bounced about Miyako in glee. Whatever was important to Negamon was important to her, too! Xe was her sibling, after all..!
Bad things happened here, though..? Negamon would stop looking around now - instead turning xyr gaze first to Mantis, and then to Reika. Xe didn't know what those bad things were, but... Xe had a bit of a feeling, that it had to do with Reika, somehow... "O-oh..."
... What was this feeling of guilt, that briefly welled up in xyr heart...? Why did xe suddenly feel bad, looking at Reika...? Not wanting to think about it, xe would insistently press xemself against Mantis' touch, needy for more attention - anything to distract xemself, or to otherwise make that bad feeling go away.
To hear about praying mantises certainly had Monimon's attention, though - her screen lighting up with a curious question mark! "Ooh! Praying Mantises sound cool..!" She'd respond in understanding, nod-nodding the best she could. What did a praying mantis look like, she wondered? What sorts of attacks did it have? What could it evolve from, or into...??
Mantis' blunt response though, as well as both girls scolding him for cursing around the twins, would be met with curious tilts of the siblings' heads; and once more, Monimon spoke up, asking Mantis "What's a hummingbird? Is another human world animal?" A bird that hums, probably - but who knows? Praying Mantises didn't pray, they fought, so maybe hummingbirds did something different!
The notion of figuring out their names, though, was going to be an interesting one. Mainly because... Neither twin was entirely sure, what to make of a name! Especially if they had the freedom to make their names whatever they wished - that was a lot of choice for a couple of babies to make! But nonetheless, Monimon would turn towards Negamon - chirping "Over here; let's think lots! Give eachother best names!" with a happy giggle.
Negamon blinked at this - quietly mulling it all over, before nodding. "O-oka-y.."
"We connect? Think together!" Monimon suggested.
Negamon, in response, nodded once more. "... So-rt ou-ou-t head, to-o-o?"
"Okay!" Monimon agreed, smiling brightly. And with this, the two in-trainings would come close together. A little cord would come off of the little television digimon, with which Negamon would connect the cord to xemself - and in turn, a little jolt of red connected xem to Monimon. The two twins would snuggle close together, quiet, save for the occasional content hum or sigh -- it seemed that the siblings found being connected to one another like this quite relaxing, and it was!
Like this, Negamon could communicate to Monimon xyr thoughts as clear as day, without any issues with stuttering or risk of misunderstandings. Like this, Monimon could help sort out the thoughts and emotions that drifted through Negamon's mind - particularly the messy or distressing ones, that Negamon couldn't deal with on xyr own. They were closer than ever in this state - sharing in the comfort and coziness of the shared space between eachothers' minds, as they bounced their thoughts between one another...
Of course, one downside was that Reika, Miyako, and Mantis would be out of the loop of whatever it was the twins were bouncing between one another - given that the shared communication was mental, not verbal. Before long though, Monimon would eventually perk up and regard the others once more - casting a smile to the girls and Kotemon alike. "Telek, and... Mino?" She asked, tilting her head. "Sound nice...?"
