[For the regular denizens of Balamb Garden, it's an ordinary day...until more off-worlders start showing up, for only a few hours at a time. Unsure what to make of these more temporary visitors, the Garden faculty is holding off on registering them as cadets or offering them jobs.

[Maybe someone you know might turn up?]

Mod note, to reiterate:
4th wall characters can only be seen at certain hours of the day. They may appear for two hours a day, or four... or seen only in the early morning... the time doesn't matter to us, but they're not permanently here. They may return to Garden again through the rest of the month, but they're not around 24/7.
Like apped characters, 4th wall characters can't be ridiculously-sized. Transformers, Gundams, and similar concepts/characters will become human-sized (and in the case of mechas, not allowed altogether.)
Players (like you and me) are not allowed to visit Garden. We're breaking the 4th wall, not destroying it altogether!
Apart from this post, 4th wall characters are free to reply to open posts in witchesreign or open logs in concoursec. Apped players have the option of closing their posts to in-game characters only.
All BBS posts are locked to in-game characters only. 4th wall characters do not have access to any sort of logged in posts unless they hijack someone else's log-in---and in those cases, we need to know this beforehand.

For those unfamiliar with the setting, here is more info on Balamb Garden's facilities and layout. Additionally, some of the NPCs around and some player characters may be wearing Balamb Garden's cadet or SeeD uniform.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask on the OOC post or through the mod channels (wrmods or witchesreign).

[Woo, an opportunity for him to gush about something he likes!] You've never heard of Digimon? It's a really popular game! But maybe not so much in other worlds, I guess. There's a card game, there's virtual pets, there's a TV show - all kinds of stuff. You know the dinosaur I'm trying to find? He's a Digimon, too! I created him!

Wow, I should have heard of it if it's that popular [in that many different formats, he really means]! But everyone's all about Tin Pin.

But it sounds really cool! Especially if you made one!

It is really cool! And Guilmon is the best -

[Cue a certain dinosaur rocketing out of... somewhere and tackling him to the ground.] I found you, I found you~!

Shouldn't I be the one saying that? Uh, yeah, this is Guilmon. Guilmon, this is... someone whose name I don't know, but he's pretty nice.

I'm Shuto Dan, but you can call me the Red Spirit! [Gogglehead and dinosaur, you are now kindred spirits.]

A real digimon... [Not that he even has a good handle on what digimon are. He probably thinks they're all dinosaurs.] You're awesome, Guilmon!

Spirit? So... not the same thing as a "soul"? [He doesn't look like a pin. A pinhead would be - well, no, he seems like an okay guy.] A-Anyway, I guess I didn't tell you my name either. I'm Takato, Matsuda Takato!

You're awesome too, Red Spirit!

Nah, we're Kindred Spirits, not pins! [Shuto offers Guilmon a hand for a high-five.]

[High fives all round!] Yaaay, Guilmon gets to be a Kindred Spirit! What's a Kindred Spirit?

People united in... [Well, no, everyone at home has their pins back.] Being confused by finding themselves here!

[The description fits, but...] What do spirits have to do with it?

We're not just united in our bodies, we're united in here! [Shuto thumps his own chest. Unfortunately, on the opposite side to his heart.]

Not literally, though... right? I mean - I mean, you're cool! But I already have a partner, and he's Guilmon. I don't think matrix evolution would work with two people, anyway.

Nah, it's not a partner thing; I have a whole group of Kindred Spirits at home! You two can still be partners. What's matrix evolution?

Oh yeah, you've never heard of Digimon. Okay, well, matrix evolution is a special kind of evolution where you don't need to jogress or play any plugins first! [And that is a really terrible explanation for someone who isn't already a fan, he realises.] It's - it's kind of like growing up for Digimon, you know? Except they turn back afterwards... although sometimes they don't turn back. Actually, a lot of the time they don't turn back. And it's quicker than growing up too, I guess. Uh.

I know, we'll show you! Ready, Guilmon?

Huh? [He was in the middle of inspecting (read: sniffing) the weird red thing Shuto is wearing and ignoring everything else.]

Aw, weren't you listening? We're going to show Dan-kun what our Ultimate evolution looks like! Let's go!

[Takato holds up his D-Arc dramatically. It completely fails to light up, take his clothes off or respond in any way whatsoever. After about ten seconds of nothing, he feels embarrassed enough to put it back in his pocket.]

...Or not. [Poor kid isn't doing very well today.]

[Shuto gives him a blank stare at the jogress and plugins nonsense, but perks up at the prospect of being shown something cool...

[And then nothing happens.]

... What was supposed to happen?

Well, the screen is supposed to light up first... and then me and Guilmon evolve into Dukemon. Why doesn't it work here, though? [It's like this world doesn't want him to look cool!

Guilmon, who senses his attention is no longer required, goes back to harassing Shuto's Kaiser. He pokes at it with a claw.]

[Shuto shrugs sympathetically, and then when Guilmon pokes his Kaiser, he grins.]

Hey, wanna try it on? [He starts undoing the straps.]

Sure~! What does it do?

[He straps it onto Guilmon's arm.] You can use it to launch pins for Tin Pin instead of just having them start on your playing field!

Psst... Takato, what's Tin Pin?

Um, just go with it.

Okay.

[It's a tight fit, but it does look cool. It even matches Guilmon's colour scheme! He pokes at it with his other claw a couple of times, then laughs and starts waving it around like a kid with a new toy aeroplane.] Look, it's an Ark~!

That looks better on you than it does on me! But what's an Ark?

[There's potential for some long-winded exposition here involving the Digital World and the D-Reaper and Jen's dad's friends and all of that. To spare Shuto, Takato intervenes before Guilmon can try it:] He just means a kind of boat.

It doesn't look much like a boat... But okay!
