001 ❤ [Video]

[wishupona]

I know this might sound a little strange, but does anyone know if there's a flower field around here somewhere? It's kind of important.

[The figure on screen shifts slightly, one hand reaching for the rings that hang from a necklace she's wearing. It's a habit she's had for a long while and being in a new world's not going to make it any better. It just might make it worse, but that remains to be seen.

Before she can say anything else, the feed blurs as it's suddenly moved to face the cameramon. The angle is way awkward, because honestly the d-terminal isn't exactly designed for her paws. To make up for it, the DORUmon its filming has a huge toothy grin as she teases her partner.]

Come on! It's your first message and already you've forgotten to introduce us!

[This startles Rinoa from her slightly moody thoughts and she giggles instead.]

I was getting there, you're just too impatient!

Then you're just gonna have to be faster than me next time. ANYWAYS, before I was so rudely interrupted! I'm Dorothy, a DORUmon, and this- [The feed shifts again as the cameramon turns the feed to focus on her partner.] Is my partner Rinoa. Say hi Rinoa!

[Completely railroaded by her own digimon, Rinoa simply smiles and waves cheerfully.]

Hi!

[ Yes. - Video]

[It always surprises her when he goes along with a joke.]

Well, if he ever shows up I'm gonna tell on you!

[Hmph. - Audio]

[innermonologues]

Because that's so frightening.

[We're sorry. The correct answer was Whatever - Video]

[wishupona]

I wasn't trying to be scary.

[I'll Whatever you B( - Audio]

[innermonologues]

It's not really possible for you to be.

[:P - Video]

[wishupona]

Hey, I could be scary if I wanted to be!

[ Audio ]

[innermonologues]

In what world?

[ Video]

[wishupona]

In any world!

[Audio]

[innermonologues]

Whatever.

[Video]

[wishupona]

[Wait no, she can still time these just right. Watch!]

Whatever

[At least that's always a sure way to boost her spirits. Though odds are the moment of giggling won't help her for too long.]

Are you sure you don't remember?

[Audio]

[innermonologues]

I can't remember something that didn't happen.

[Video]

[wishupona]

Are you saying I made it up?

[Audio]

[innermonologues]

I wouldn't put it past you.

[Video]

[wishupona]

What? Yo-you big jerk! I can't believe you! You mea-

[Anything else she might be about to say is cut off, because Dorothy just hung up on him. As it is Rinoa's DORUmon is going to have words with him later, just wait and see.

Now if you'll excuse Rinoa she might go cry into her pillow until she falls asleep from exhaustion. Getting dragged to a new world is hard enough, but it's probably more the emotional strain that's the issue. Being a teenager is tough.]

[innermonologues]

[ He's just staring at his D-T now.] .... She hung up.

[Video - A few minutes later]

[wishupona]

[Leaving Rinoa on her own is hard, but Dorothy does it anyway. It's for her partner's own good. At least that's what the digimon tells herself, largely it's because Rinoa would probably stop her from doing this if she knew about it.]

Hey! Who do you think you are being a jerk to her like that, huh? What sort of no good punk talks to a girl like that?

[This is the face of one very unhappy DORUmon, way to go Squall.]

[Audio]

[innermonologues]

[ ... He really wasn't expecting another moment with Rinoa. He figured the hangup meant she was upset about who knows what and she would just leave him be but when he glanced at the feed it wasn't her. It was her Digimon. ]

Are you done yet?

[Video]

[wishupona]

[Rinoa didn't even hang up on him, Dorothy did. Maybe later Rinoa would remember to scold her digimon, but right now she's just not in the right state of mind.]

For now. Got anything to say for yourself, punk?

[Audio]

[innermonologues]

Yeah. My name is Squall.

[ His words dripping with annoyance. ]

[Video]

[wishupona]

Yeah well, I think Punk suits you better.

[Look at that toothy grin, Dorothy is on a roll now.]

[audio]

[innermonologues]

Are you going to always be this annoying?

[video]

[wishupona]

Are you always gonna be a jerk?

[Audio]

[innermonologues]

I am who I am if you have a problem with it then go back to comforting Miss Sensitive.

Re: [Audio]

[wishupona]

[Dorothy bristles at that. Oh no he didn't just insult her partner!]

That's it! If you can't say anything nice then, then don't talk to us at all!

[He's about ready to get hung up on a second time, how about that?]

[Audio]

[innermonologues]

You're the one that called me. I'm already in a bad mood why would you think insulting me would make it better?

[Video]

[wishupona]

You're in a bad mood? So what! That doesn't give you the right it out on Rinoa like that! She was so happy to see you and look what you did to her! Punk's too good a name for a guy like you.
