[yeah me too rupert. this is why taichi is looking at him and not the screen as well.]
Well, a play's a little different. When you're doing something live, you don't get to stop. But movies are made so that people can stop if they mess up or if they decide they want to do something else with the scene. It takes way longer to make a movie than a play, I think.
[it's fine sometimes you have a baby dinosaur who had to learn about earth things too.]
Yeah, like that. Where I'm from there're things called video cameras, too. It's like taking a bunch of portraits in motion and creating something that looks like that. [he gestures to the tv.
and then makes a face.]
Except this looks like it got a bunch of special effects that made it worse, so it's not exactly like that.
It's pretty much my first time...? I mean, I had tutors, but not, like, a completely different building that I went to every day to learn stuff. What about you? I mean, I'm guessing you went to one, but.
It's similar. The curriculum was way different, and we were always in one classroom throughout the day except for lunch and clubs. Our school was pretty big and it wasn't that far from where we lived, so I usually biked there. We also had classes six days a week.
[can't believe his life is about to be ruined with five days of class and then a murder trial saturdays.]
It's...never mind, it's not that important. [he will find a bike and show rupert someday maybe.]
Saturdays were usually half-days, but we started pretty early in the morning and would go into the afternoon. I had practice before and after school so I spent a lot of time there.
Jousting's like...with a spear, right? I think I saw it in a movie once. [thanks taichi.] There's a field out by the gym. I could teach you to play sometime. You can't be any worse than Agumon.
[it's a light jest, but also. agumon has probably popped a few soccer balls in his life, it's fine.]
You'd have to ask Yamato and keep in mind he's incredibly biased. [this may have come up between the two of them already, or he's just dunking on his friend. probably both. but hm..]
Agumon kind of looks like a small dinosaur. [which is his default answer, but then he thinks about byleth's comparison.] Or like...kind of like Porridge? But he's more yellow and stands on two legs and he doesn't have wings in that form. Taller, too. He and Gabumon both come up to about our knees.

Wait, so - how does that work? What happens if they mess up, exactly?

—Oh, is that the thing on our phones that can make portraits instantly?
no subject
Yeah, like that. Where I'm from there're things called video cameras, too. It's like taking a bunch of portraits in motion and creating something that looks like that. [he gestures to the tv.

Yeah, you're right. [but ah.] Is this your first time at a school, or do they have those where you're from?

That sounds - pretty intense. Six days a week, really? How long did you have to stay?

[but more importantly—]
Sure, I'd try it out! I'm not really athletic, but... [also:] Who's Agumon?
no subject
Agumon's my partner.
no subject
Oh, are you and Yamato from the same place? He mentioned something about that, too. I mean - not your specific partner, but the idea.
no subject
Yeah. We met our partners at the same time. His is Gabumon. Kind of looks like a dog and a lizard combined.

There's this other world that's connected to ours. We all met our partners there about six years ago.
