We've been calling them "Eaters". They degrade and corrode digital matter. My world, my Digital World, is dying.
On Earth Virtual Reality is popular. Since logging in means mentally entering, the Eaters devour people's mental data. As a result they end up in comas.
God forbid. The last thing we need is one more wrinkle in this particular game.
[ no more monsters!!! no more monsters!! ]
It's still strange to me, to think about all the creatures or problems that everyone else seems to have to deal with. We have our monsters, but they're all very, very human. I don't know if that's better or worse.
[ kyoko's been around fei du enough by now to know him; his facial expressions are tiny, microexpressions of his real emotions hidden nearly perfectly. here, it darkens just slightly. ]
...Yes. They certainly can.

Well, luckily for us, that's all we have. I'll take it, I think, based on what I've heard.
[Kyoko's expressions are natural, but they're almost always studying the people around her... Which does make more sense considering what exactly she is.]
It's better if the Eaters don't further out anyway.

A monster in the shape of a human can do just as much damage. If they're in the correct place, if they have the correct amount of power.
