[Takeru still has his tasteful leg ornament (that would be Romana for those of you not in the know), but looks significantly more subdued. Time doesn't flow on the Astral Plane like it does in his own reality, but still...]

... The first day of August, huh?

It's been a long time...

I can't believe I lost track of the date...

[[ooc; For those of you not in the know - by which I am assuming... a lot of you - today is known in Digimon fandom as Odaiba Memorial Day. ... Basically when the main plot of Digimon Adventure started. And thanks to time flowing differently, also when the bulk of the series took place.]]

Takeru?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

Yeah?

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Is everything all right?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

I guess. It's just the anniversary of an important date to me.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

First date with your girlfriend?

[he says it casually, smiling like it's a joke]

[he doesn't believe for a minute that it's anything like that]

[Internally flails for a moment but regains composure! Shakes his head.]

Most of my first visit to the Digital World happened on this day, thanks to time running really weirdly compared to the real world.

[he does notice the moment's delay]

Like it does here?

[Go go nonverbal cues?]

In a way. The time difference was eventually fixed, though.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

I imagine that might cause more trouble than it cures.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

Yeah, since you can't just spend a day in the Digital World and come back with only a short time having passed in the real world.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

I imagine that if there was a way to return it to how it was before, you would do so.

... Since Apocalymon seemed to be the one causing the problem, I'm not sure if messing with the time difference would be a good idea. I might generate some sort of evil like him.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Time control powered by an evil entity? How distressing. Next, they'll introduce forsaken children to Einstein's equations.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

Well, keep in mind that it's a world of data. Any sort of virus can have any number of effects.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Bad or good programming would seem to make all the difference.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Unfortunately, a lot of the data that ends up in there is stuff that's not so well programmed.

... Which is why it gets deleted, I guess.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Of course.
