** And now the comic has swapped from Bea and Gata to Joe. How long this will last is yet to be seen, but it's been heavily implied that he will be joining their group at some point in time.



* MediumAwareness: The command prompt seems to have this, as a required part of it asking the audience what should happen next. It has, however, blocked the audience from playing as certain characters, and seems to be a character in its own right.

to:

* MeanwhileScene: While Bea fills Gata in on her adventures in the Digiworld, we're treated to a scene with Patamon and the Command Prompt filled with heavy foreshadowing and plot clues.

Added DiffLines:

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Bea's group seems to be half this, half TrueCompanions. This seems to be the mechanic since Lopmon and Tapirmon joined the party, since they're newcomers to Bea, Gata and Snowagumon's antics.

* TrueCompanions: Bea's group seems to be half this, half RagtagBunchOfMisfits. Largely, this is the dynamic between Bea, Gata and Snowagumon.

Added DiffLines:

* ParentalAbandonment: On one hand, we have Bea, whose father died (from a heart attack, apparently) and whose mother routinely leaves home with only notes to signify her absence. On the other hand, we have Gata, who there has been no indication in either direction about if he has any family at all.

* ScheduleSlip: Niv has a bad habit of forgetting to work on stuff due to focusing on other things, leading to these happening rather often. It doesn't help that she's prone to getting sick.



* ColorFailure: Happens to the Tree twice, [[http://dcc.smackjeeves.com/comics/1595126/talking-to-trees/ here.]]



* InteractiveNarrator: The command prompt seems to be able to interact with the characters and periodically narrates their actions, as well as asking the audience what should happen next.

* CannotTellALie: The Tree is ''really'' bad at lying, often telling the truth when trying not to do so.



* JumpedAtTheCall: Technically, both Bea and Gata willingly went along with their new quest, but Gata was basically told exactly what he was getting into and was quite excited about it.



* OnlySaneMan: Lopmon is shaping up to be this, especially now that he's Gata's Digimon partner.

* OnlySaneMan: Lopmon is shaping up to be this, especially now that he's Gata's Digimon partner. Bea, too, but she's NotSoAboveItAll.

Added DiffLines:

* AuthorAvatar: Niv's gone through a few. She started with Shard, before briefly swapping to ''Katty'', of all people, then moving to Rajan, going back to Shard, then Niv, then En, then Eniv, then finally settling back onto Niv. She occasionally uses "Ink", in accordance with labeling various things she makes as part of "Inkworks", but Niv is her most frequently used AuthorAvatar at current. She does periodically use Két for announcements, though.

* GrayAndGrayMorality: Katai is very definitely killing people but she doesn't have much control over her actions - not to mention that when she does start controlling herself better, her 'spirit guide' winds up being kind of terrible at her job. However, the friends of the people Katai has killed are not aware of her inner workings and think of her as nothing more than evil, when she really wants nothing more than to be alone.

* TitleDrop: Titles will often show up on a comic somehow, and if they don't, well... Generally, most of Niv's titles have something to do with the comic. {MUTE} is about a mute robot, Digimon: Crisis Core is a digimon comic about a crisis at the core of the digital world, and Sandbox is a place where Niv can play around freely, experimenting and having fun, much like an actual sandbox.
