First Guardian Drive [video]

[paladienne]

[When the feed switches on, there's the soft strains of a young girl singing, as she hesitantly makes her way through the city. While Yulie doesn't necessarily realize it's recording, she had been working on figuring out how to use the D-Terminal, so-]

Let us make a promise here and now, walking together hand touching hand... Let us make a promise, make it true, never again to cry alone...

[Oh, so it was recording, after all... Yulie realizes this, and looks a little apologetic at having shared her song with the rest of the network.]

Oh, is it on? I'm sorry, I didn't realize...

He- Crabmon said to use this in case someone might know... I think I've gotten separated from my friends- I haven't been able to find them...

[Softly, almost too quiet to be heard:]

Kresnik, what should I do? I'm not sure...

...I'm Juri. Who are you?

I've gotta have someone to refer back to if I see them!

[paladienne]

Oh! I'm sorry, I should have said...

My name is Yulie... thank you for your help, Juri.

[lionhearted_destiny]

Don't worry, in such a weird situation, it's understandable!

There are a lot of helpful people here. If your friends aren't around, then they'll all take good care of you.

[paladienne]

That's good to hear... though, I'd feel bad burdening someone like that.

[lionhearted_destiny]

It wouldn't be a burden at all! We're all here together, as members of the same group. We're supposed to watch after each other.

[...Out comes the puppet.]

Ruff! When bad things come along, we all face them together!

[paladienne]

[Okay, Yulie can't help but smile a little at the puppet.]

I guess that's true... Jude would say something similar. I've been on the run for so long, though, that I've always felt terrible about involving others in my troubles.

[lionhearted_destiny]

You shouldn't have to worry about that here. At least, not with your partner to back you up.

[paladienne]

My partner...? Oh! You mean... Crabmon? That's true; it might take a little getting used to, though.

[lionhearted_destiny]

Mmhm! Don't worry, before long you'll get the hang of it!

[paladienne]

I hope so. And I hope I can find a way to repay everyone for the kindness they've shown me so far.
