Who: Takeru Takaishi (and Patamon) and you!
When: 8/1
Where: Anywhere!
What: After 3 years, Takeru is slowly trying to remember about this place and getting use to whatever Cerealia has for him! And failing to write a story too! And maybe a question to ask everyone.
Rating/Warning: Nope!

A - Making my way downtown

[It had been one weird, weird day for Takeru. After suddenly reappearing in his world, he had to wonder if everything he thought of was merely a dream. Even when he told his mom, she told him that such things didn't exist. But then again, a lot of his friends thought he was making things up. So surely, there was no way that such things like Cerealia was ever truly real right?On top of that, after a previous conversation, a part of him also had to wonder if everything back home was real too.

Either way, it didn't stop him from living the past 3 years as if nothing ever happened. After finding himself back in the Digital World and rescuing Hikari, the last thing he would ever expect was to come straight back here! However, here he was now! As soon as the familiar slide show was over, all he could do was sigh. What was a 10 year old boy to do now?

Why go around a familiarize himself with his surroundings and catching up with everyone he knew, of course! Staring straight into his CereVice, he wanted to pay close attention and see just where he was going. Too bad he wasn't looking what was actually in front of him.

One might see Takeru randomly bumping into walls, lamp posts and maybe even you too!]

B - The joys of writer's block

[After spending the some time in Cerealia, Takeru was slowly starting to get the hang of this place. And what better way for him to ease his way into this new lifestyle than for him to begin his new writing adventure here? Of course, that was a lot easier said than done.

As he sat under a tree, one could see scraps of paper around him. With a small pout, he was determined to write something! But it seems as if his muse was nowhere to be seen! If one should look at those paper, there were a bunch of stories written out! One could be a mystery that involved a missing item, another would even be about a princess, or maybe another would be about Cerealia itself!

Either way, all Takeru could do was give a loud sigh.]

You've got to be kidding me....

C - Writing on them networks

[As Takeru looked at his device, he debated if he should ask. But if it was bothering him for a while, it was probably best to ask anyway]

There's something that has been bothering me lately. I remember a long time ago, someone mentioned to me that when we go back home, there's a chance that it might not even be real.

I don't think so but its been a while since I've even been here. I'm not even sure if that's true anymore.

D - Wildcard!

[Anything goes here! If you got something else in mind, let me know! My plurk is Rosemotifs!]

[hopetype]

You're telling me. It's been 3 years since I left Cerealia but nothing changed had it?

There isn't anything else I should know about right?

[Not to mention it was flat out weird thinking his memories of Cerealia were made up after all this time. And yet...]

[prosecutory]

Were you still here when many people disappeared from the colony and could not be contacted at all?

[hopetype]

I think so, I know there a robot taking them somewhere. But that's all I remember.

[prosecutory]

Since those abductions, people started seeing ghostly animals following them, but they can only see their designated animal.

These creatures would show memories of the persons they follow to anyone who touches them.

[hopetype]

Any reason why? It just doesn't seem like something Cerealia would do.

Wouldn't they want to attack us with something more direct?

[But then again, given all the horrible memories he has of this place? He might have a bias]

[prosecutory]

Sometimes they don't harm us directly. Months ago, each of us dreamed of another person's memories. While we weren't hurt, some people's secrets were exposed to those who dreamed of them.

[hopetype]

I still wonder for what reason. It still doesn't make any sense why they would want other people to see each other's memories.

But I guess I shouldn't complain if it's to help other people.

[prosecutory]

How would that help? Many people here would rather keep most of their memories to themselves.

[hopetype]

Wouldn't it be able to make people open up more?

There are a lot of things people would want to keep things private but I don't think it's a good thing to bottle up emotions either.

[...Said the boy who also bottles up emotions too]

[prosecutory]

No, it's not. But people would rather choose their audiences. They don't want to just talk about their emotions with anyone.

[hopetype]

I wish they could but if they don't want to, I don't have a choice do I?

It wonder if it helped anyone at all though.

[prosecutory]

I suppose other people would have taken that opportunity to open up to the ones they shared memories with.

Anyway, besides the ghostly animals showing others our memories, we would forget important things about ourselves during that time.

[hopetype]

It's not a bad thing to talk about it, is it?

But that sounds even scarier! That sounds a lot more like something Cerealia would do!

[prosecutory]

It also depends on the kind of memory the other person saw. Whether it is happy or sad, or something one would freely share.

[hopetype]

[...]

You have a point there. It would a little awkward to see someone else's memories if they didn't want anyone else to see it.

...Did anyone else see any of yours? Or any that you wanted to share?

[prosecutory]

Yes, while the ghostly animals were around. And no, some of them were memories I didn't want to share.

[hopetype]

[Then there was a long pause on his end]

I'm sorry, Edgeworth-san.

...You're okay weren't you? [Dumb question but he just wanted to ask!]

[prosecutory]

I am now. I should no longer be surprised that these things happen.

Anyway, I don't think the people who saw my memories are the type to reveal them to just anyone.

[hopetype]

No, that's not what I meant.

I meant if I might have offended you in some way.

[prosecutory]

No, not at all.

[hopetype]

That's good! I was worried I might have made you angry!

And it wouldn't have been nice to make a friend mad when I haven't seen him for so long!

[prosecutory]

I'm not angry at all. You deserve to know what has happened in your absence.

[hopetype]

It still seems weird that I didn't miss that much though.

So much happened in my world, I'm not sure what to think of it.

[prosecutory]

I can imagine that a lot can happen in three years.

I was only away from the colony for a few days when I vanished from it twice; yet much happened back home even in that span of time.

[hopetype]

Can I ask what happened back home? If you don't mind me asking?

[And you know. Having Takeru being a master avoider of troublesome topics he didn't want to talk about!]
