themainframe | [Video] First Sweater

[A video suddenly blips into life on the feed, and for a moment or two the only thing that can be seen is a weird, blurry grey mass. A muffled scratching can be heard over the microphone, like something being brushed across it before an even more muffled voice can be heard.]

You're holding it too close!

[The screen moves up sharply and gives everyone a nice, dizzying view of the sky (upside down, by the way) before righting itself, revealing a little girl sitting on a bench with a Digimon in her lap. He huffs and looks up at her, dropping his front legs over the one arm she has wrapped around him.]

I can hold it, I got it this time!

[The girl just shakes her head a little and adjusts her grip on the D-Terminal in her hand before flashing the screen a bright, braces filled grin. She seems to be wearing a bright pink sweater and looks perfectly comfortable in said sweater no matter what the temperature might currently be, with a pink headband, purple skirt, and black shoes to match.]

Dipper! Dipper are you out there? LOOK at what I've got!

[She squeezes Tapirmon a little, who lets out a faint squeak at her added affection. He was hoping his partner would be nice, but he NEVER expected she'd be this enthusiastic about the whole situation. Then again, was she really listening to what he said...?
In a world filled with talking animals, it's a wonder Mabel doesn't think this isn't just all a dream.]

He says his name's Tapirmon, but I was thinking I could give him a nickname, like...Aoshima~ Doesn't that sound adorable?

[Mabel looks down at Tapirmon who flicks his ears in response with a giggle.]

I 'unno, sounds pretty cool to me! Does that mean I get to give you a nickname too, Mabel?

[She ponders that for a moment, swinging her legs over the edge of the bench.]

We'll see! I gotta think of something first. I don't think ANYTHING'S gonna beat out Aoshima though.

I know, isn't it the greatest?! It makes him sound like a warrior.

A big, strong warrior!

Well, I guess they all start somewhere.

[Misfire says this as Crummy squirms around his shoulder to give him a "don't you dare" look.]

...So, uh... you're... small.

[A+ conversation.]

[It's just enough of an A+ conversation for Mabel to work with.]

And you're...big!

[Well all adults are, aren't they now?]

What's your name?

Yeah, I am! Thanks for noticin'.

[He gets the feeling he's going to like this girl.]

The name's Misfire.

[Well that sure is an interesting name, but right off the bat Mabel's just going to assume for the sake of convenience that that's just a really cool nickname. He's not the first she's met with an unusual name, and she's sure he won't be the last.]

My name's Mabel!

And I- ...oh, well, never mind. You already know who I am!

Mabel and Aoshima. Gotcha. Nice combo there.

Do you two know where you're staying yet?

Nope! ..Aren't there 'sposed to be apartments, Aoshima?

Yeah, we're gonna be assigned a room somewhere. We'll probably have roommates, but I can't say who they'll be.

Oooh~ I hope they're fun~

If you need help, we could probably help! Couldn't we, Misfire?

[The rather pointed way that Crummy words the question is needless, as Misfire is nodding in agreement as soon as the offer comes up.]

The free housings for the pinheads that just get here, yeah?

...That's where we live, though.

Yeah, shaddup.

[Well, it was nice to know they were guaranteed a place to stay here at least.]

Thanks! They shouldn't be too hard to find though, I guess. I just hope the roommates we get are nice.

Just don't get your hopes up too high.

Well, alrighty. Good luck on that. Seriously, never know what kinda weirdos might be here.

[With a click, he hangs up.]
