I haven't looked into the networks either. Before, I might have been able to do something about it. Now I don't think so. Technology isn't as easy for me as it used to be.

But...maybe we SHOULD look into them?

No.... [He doesn't expand further on that, noticing the conversation tide is turning. Ken jumps on that, instead.]

We can try. I used to get messages from the others on my Digivice. However, when I tried to e-mail them, after I arrived, it wouldn't go through.

I didn't try anything else with it, thinking it wouldn't work. Just kept trying to open a gateway through the computers.

I know more about software and programming than hardware, but from a superficial view they look the same. And from bits I've looked on them, they seem the same inside as well, if not a bit more advanced. There's some programs used I've never heard of, or updated to a version not yet available in my world.



[ooc: And now I have a question for the mods, though I would suspect his D3 wouldn't work that way.]

I don't think the level of the software should affect it. Others before me were able to travel on earlier versions.


[ooc: You're brilliant! I totally forgot about Shadow City. I should look up what info we have on it, then ask the mods a host of questions. Because THAT would be kind of interesting.]

It wouldn't surprise me if it's the City. The deities seem capable of doing plenty. But if it comes down to modifications, we can figure something out, can't we? [Yes, Rita, he's already gaining faith in you.]

[ooc: Found it here, under City travel, and already asked the mods, though either they don't check up on the FAQ comments a lot, or it might be a lot to discuss. I've not heard back from them. I'll give it the week, then contact in another way, just in case.]

[A little impressed by her.]

I haven't considered that yet. Perhaps...I just need something to connect it to the computer with. That might work. Then you could see the source code. Or, I guess I could.

Whatever bits I recall.


[ooc: Yeah, took me a while to track it down. I figure Ken and Rita got distracted by the desert for a time, but after, they can pick up messing around with the device from where they left off. Several times. One of those times would send him into the Shadow City.]

Too bad Izumi-san isn't here. He knows more about this stuff. [At least, NOW he does.] And he's done this with the devices before, so he'd already have an idea of what we need to do.

[Seeing her look, he puts his hand out for the device.] It's here, on this side. [He points to it.] Unfortunately, I don't have a port for it, and I'm not sure where to get one. Do you know of a computer store here? Or someone good with them?


[ooc: Yes, eventually. He'd probably be terrified the first time, the Shadow City would remind him of the Dark Ocean, but once he got accustomed to it and found it's strengths, being able to avoid curses and stuff, he'd take better advantage of it.]

No...he's not. [But if he ever did show up, Ken would have so much to tell him.]

Intelligent? How so? It might be worth looking at. It might be able to communicate with the Digivice better.

[A slight wide-eyed look. He thought that's what she meant, but it's still a little surprising to learn.]

We should go there, then. If it can hook up to it, it might be able to tell us how it might work with the network, or what we might need. Or at least narrow it down better.
