[The screen comes on to Yu looking... rather upset and worried. In the background one can easily hear heart breaking sobs. Not childish crying or whining for attention- more like someone young grieving]

Ah.... excuse me but... is it normal for a digimon's evolution to be... really different in personality then originally?

[He looks back at where his partner is crying off screen]

Raidou... it's not your fault...

I-i never wanna digivolve again!!

...alright, if that's what you want. I won't force you.

Aw don't cry little-dude! K-MAN TELL IT NOT TO CRY!

*sigh* Try not to concern yourself overly much. Perhaps your next digivolution will be entirely banal.

I'm not even sure I know what that word means...

So woah, hold up. Tell me exactly what's goin' on, because like...K-man is a total drag right now and if he suddenly became Mr. Par-tay that would be wicked cool.

Though I am no judge of popular verbal nuance where you come from, I somehow doubt that 'drag' and 'par-tay' are particularly cool even by your standards.

Shut it.

Anyways, yo. Sup. I'm Roze. I don't think we've met. I'd recognize a face like that. *brow-waggle*

[leaderkun]

[Yu seems surprised by the sudden flirting after all that, and offers her a warm charming smile]

I'm Yu. It's nice to meet you. Are you one of the new people here?

[Elecmon crawls on screen, rubbing his eyes.]

I-i'm okay...

[fullofthorns]

Yu, huh? [ She asks, with perfect pronunciation, carrying the vowel just slightly shorter than the word 'you'. She's not fallin' for that shit. ]

Pleasure makin' your acquaintance. [ She tilts her head, smiling at the screen idly. ]

I'm glad to hear it. Crying is a pretty good release sometimes, but not the best way to handle things. Bein' scared of a problem doesn't give you a lot of wiggle room to fix it, huh kiddo? You gotta buck up and bitch-slap your issues into submission.

[leaderkun]

I-i can't slap myself...

[fullofthorns]

PFFF

*snrk*

Haa, ha, yeah no I suppose not. But you aren't the problem. Your fear and lack of confidence are. You gotta rely on your partner, right? Trust him. Trust yourself. Don't be scared of new things or change little dude. Its never as bad as you think. Its just different.

You'll be fine. Right, Yu? *eyebrow-quirk*

[leaderkun]

[Yu smiles gratefully, putting a hand on Elecmon's head, scratching his ears. the bunny leans into it and starts.... purring? It sounds like open electric wire buzzing]

She's right. You don't have to fight for now, but I'll do everything I can to help you overcome this. Alright?

[fullofthorns]

Don't worry about it. Kotemon over here hasn't done a damn thing. Chances are, he's gonna turn into Jigglypuff or some shit. Totally wuss out on me at the last minute.

The levels your rudeness can reach never fails to amaze me.

I know, right? I'm just full of fuckin' surprises.

[She snaps her attention back to Yu, brows raised high and lips curled in a shark-toothed grin that only promised trouble. ]

Soo~o. You. Me. Dinner. A little chat, a little drink. Whattaya say?

[leaderkun]

[He laughs softly at her and Kotemon's banter, only to pause at the sudden invite]

...

That sounds lovely, actually.

[fullofthorns]

...


...


[ She reaches up and rubs the inner corner of one eyes, looks at her fingers briefly, sniffs, glances off to the side...all with puckers lips and furrowed brow.

Eventually she narrows her eyes at the D-T and clears her throat. ]

You're puttin' me on...

[leaderkun]

Why should I be?

[He leans forward slightly, chin in hand and small coy smile on his face]

[fullofthorns]

[ She stares blankly with a half-smile, one side of her mouth twitching visibly before her brain finally reboots. ]

WELL YEAH I MEAN OBVIOUSLY.

[ 0-60 in two..one... ]

I'm only like, probably the hottest chick around here, and the coolest you're likely ever to meet wherever you go. I mean Jeez, how many girls do you know have naturally pink hair and a rack big enough for a Macy's clearance sale? My hips don't quit, either, I'll have you know, and my legs get enough altitude to leave you breathless, babe.

I'm so fuckin' marvelous I'm practically one of the Eight Wonders.

[leaderkun]

[He nods slightly]

Hm, yes, you're very attractive as well.

[As if he just noticed this, or it was secondary]

[fullofthorns]

[ Eyetwitch. SHE IS BEING DEFEATED BY HER OWN GAME. WHUT? ]

Uh, yeah. Uh. I totally am...

[ Congratulations Yu. You broke her. Completely flat-lined her ability to respond.]

Uh...

So...

When's good for you?

*arm-scratch*

Are you bullshittin' me, because I don't like gettin' bullshit.

[leaderkun]

My senpai showed me this really good ramen and beefbowl place near here, if that sounds alright?

[He gives her a small sympathetic look]

I like to think of myself as an honest person when it counts. You're an energetic and interesting person, and you were kind to Rai-kun. So please, let me take you out for a meal.

[fullofthorns]

Bentens tits someone just asked me out. I've fuckin' heard everything.

[ She gets up, reaches over and flips the coffee-table, just to make herself feel better. TAKE CONTROL OF THE ENVIRONMENT. Of course it sends the D-Terminal clattering to the floor. Kotemon tilts his head to look at the currently upside-down Yu before Roze reached over and picked everything up, no apologies - of fucks - given. ]

That sounds perfect. I got some stuff to do, but next chance we're both free I'll totally take you up on that. And if you back out, I'm gonna stomp that pretty face in. JUST so you know. And...do yourself a favor and don't think I can't do it.

[ That's RIGHT. Insult your potential date! MAKE HIM FEAR FOR HIS LIFE. Roze Dating 101: If he ain't scared, you might have to concede he's worthy of you. This could complicate things later, when you have to decide who wear 'The Pants'. ]

[leaderkun]

[His eyes are a little wide, looking like silver dollar coins.

Then he laughs brightly, not a mean tone in it]

I'm pretty used to women that can kick my ass, it's alright.

[fullofthorns]

Alright well uh. I gotta go...uh. Fight things. And Kotemon needs his mask polished--

I do not, what in the world would I--

CALL ME LATER?!

*click*

[ She's gotta call Dante. This ain't for real. No one else flirts BACK. She's gotta ask the master of boomerang flirts for advice. ]
