Chapter 200: B2: C100: Grimrock Eradication
Back when Zarian was in the Marines, he’d taken every opportunity to consume as much anime and fantasy as possible.
Prior to that, the foster care homes he bounced between had been a crap shoot in how lucky he could get. He’d faced different styles of abusive foster parents, from insanely religious fanatics to the downright criminal drug dealers.
He hadn’t gotten comfortable as a kid growing up because he was under a lot of pressure to survive with his only support coming from Ariana. He hadn’t gotten to nerd out as much during his foster care times.
So, despite having gotten kicked out of the Marines because they thought he was being insubordinate for not letting them haze him – he’d been through enough hazing before the Marines, so no thanks – he still appreciated some aspects of the Marines.
He’d appreciated Naomi for being a stellar recruiter. He’d appreciated getting to eat as much as he wanted and viewing his favorite media to where he even knew obscure and niche things from times long past.
“I think Bianca’s becoming a Digimon,” Zarian said on the spider network.
“Do you actually know what a Digimon is?” Hannah asked.
“I may not be an engineer, but my nerd status is top-notch,” Zarian replied.
“What’s a Digimon?” Gilbert asked, for himself and Naomi.
