Cardmon was doing a little dance that, due to the lack of limbs, just looked like he was spinning in place.

[color=#85c885]"Congratulations."[/color] He gave Cardmon a small smile while pondering if this world worked like an RPG and if there were experience points or any other tangible measure of progression.

As if to answer his thoughts, Cardmon began focusing, which kind of just looked like he was constipated, and soon enough a bright rectangular light emerged from the circle on his card, which quickly faded... into another card pack. [color=#F8F80E]"Wew!"[/color] Cardmon swiped his own card over his spherical forehead as if to wipe the nonexistent sweat off his nonexistent brow. [color=#F8F80E]"Victories always feels so energizing! It's way easier to make cards when it happens."[/color]

Dustin's eye twitched. Surely Cardmon isn't funneling the additional power it develops into these cards, right?

Right?

...In either case, the card pack has already been made. Might as well open it.

[hider=Pack 1b Opening][img]https://i.imgur.com/r1ZNJWJ.png[/img][/hider]Coelamon, Gomamon, Salamon, Protect Armor, Syakomon, and Mushroomon.

Rather funny that he'd pull a Coelamon right after the fight with one. He'd have to investigate if there was a correlation between Cardmon's opponents and the cards Cardmon produced. Notably, Coelamon was marked as a Champion instead of a rookie, and one of the cards wasn't a digimon. Protect Armor didn't have stats, and its rank was labeled as "Program". The bottom of the card had a small text box that read "HP +10 to Digimon." That was it.

He'd have to ask Cardmon how people are actually expected to play with the cards, because despite his best efforts, rubbing the Protect Armor card on Cardmon's face, Cardmon's Card, and Cardmon's Digivice all did nothing. Surprisingly, the card remained unbent, at least.

After a long, grueling walk towards the mountain in the distance while listening to Cardmon yap about the intricacies of a card game where you basically drew 6 cards out of a deck of 40 and then slapped them down to see who had the higher numbers, they arrived at Angemon's mansion. By then, he was too tired to question the angel man or the circumstances in general and just sat himself down on a couch lined with more numbers and symbols. As he cooled down in the... is this place air conditioned? -As he cooled down, he decided to take more pictures of the symbols, because at the least, he might recognize some patterns if not their actual meaning. He eventually noticed that more than just the couch had symbols, and after grabbing something to eat with one hand - until that hand was needed, he found himself taking pictures of just about every trinket he could find. Some of the objects just raised questions as to why anyone would go through the trouble of inscribing symbols on them. Only rarely did he actually find a random decoration that had no symbols to speak of.

He wonders if Angemon would be down to let him pocket one of these.
