[There's a new arrival on the network today. She's dressed like she's ready for a performance, but she doesn't really look happy about her situation. Anyone familiar with the area will notice Hibiki's taken to Tokyo Tower to try and figure out where the heck her apartment is.

She doesn't realize her device is filming, mostly because she's just trying out.]

—does it even work? Hey, Psychetaro, can't you even tell me that?



That's not my name, and if I teach you everything, you won't learn.

[There's a bit of joy to Psychemon's voice as he stands on a railing behind Hibiki, almost like...he's enjoying antagonizing her.]

If I can't figure it out, I can't learn it! And what about where we're going to live? I can't see it, even from up here!

If I don't tell you, you'll get a better feel for the city, right?

T-that's not the issue here! I need to ask everyone where F3...004 is! Just tell me how to turn it on!

I'm sure you'll figure something out! Besides, you already turned it on about thirty seconds ago.

...H-huh? [Blink.] ...Are you tryin' to be cute? T-that's not funny at all! [Oh. Wait. It is recording.] How do I turn it off?!

[After a few seconds of fumbling, Hibiki manages to turn off her communicator.]

Um.. I could show you to the apartments are.

[ geez you didn't have to climb the tower to find it!! ]

[brandnewday]

You don't have to—

[brandnewday]

Hey!

D-don't listen to him! Please, tell me where I'm supposed to go! I think I keep gettin' turned around somehow.

[Somehow = Psychemon.]

[firewall]

You're at.. er, on top of Tokyo Tower, right? I can be there in a minute or so.

[brandnewday]

Really? Thanks a bunch! I'll take the elevator down right away, then! [Oh. Wait. Manners.] It's not a problem, right?

video.

[firewall]

Of course not. I have to pass there to get to the apartments, so..

[ which doesn't necessarily have to be true but he doesn't want her to think he's going out of his way. ]

[risette_truestory]

Your costume is really, really cute!

[brandnewday]

H-huh?

[She has to pause...oh, wait, her outfit.]

Thanks! I'd forgotten I was wearin' this...

video;

[risette_truestory]

That isn't an outfit for casual wear ...

... were you wearing it for any special reason?

video;

[brandnewday]

Mm, it's an outfit I was going to wear...

W-w-wait! I need to get home! What're the photographers gonna do? I can't just leave 'em like that!

[risette_truestory]

Photographers?

[risette_truestory]

[ Cute outfit and photographers ... it wasn't hard for Rise to do the math of course. After all, it wasn't like she didn't know what it was like. ]

You're not an idol, are you?!

[lifescratched]

...I apologise, but I believe there has been a mistake. I have been assigned to that room as well.

[Armadillomon interrupts off-screen:] I think they're shared apartments, Connor. Why don't you say hello and introduce yourself?

Shared? I did not realise... Perhaps I should... [Well, this is awkward.]

video

[brandnewday]

You can't be assigned to that room! You're not a woman.

[That's her perfect reasoning for this. She can't share a room with some strange guy...!]

That's not really how it works around here. Sorry, I could've mentioned that sooner... [He's not sorry at all. Sorry, Armadillomon, your Digimon roommate is kind of a jerk.]

W-w-wait, they're...separate rooms, right? What does the place look like?

video

[lifescratched]

There are three bedrooms, two washrooms, and a living space. [AND INDOOR PLUMBING AND ELECTRICITY WOW-- but Connor has been informed that yes, those luxuries are entirely normal here.] If this arrangement is too troublesome, I will stay elsewhere.

video

[brandnewday]

Well, if you insist! You can move out at any time.

W-wait! Don't listen to Psychetaro! [Well, it would be kind of nice if she didn't have to suddenly room with a strange older man...] It might be kinda weird, but...but it's your home, too, right? ...And there are two bathrooms! That's good!

[ Iori drops her D-Terminal out of suprise. She honestly never expected to see another one of her friends here. The idea never occured to her! With haste, she picks the devise back up and yells into it, forgetting that it can pick up sound just fine. ]

Hibiki! It's me, Iori! I'm here too!

[brandnewday]

[Oh, it's Iori! Cool!]

Hey, Iori! It's good to see ya!

video

[brandnewday]

[Just give Hibiki a second...oh, there, she realizes what's going on. Her face falls.]

...Huh? Iori, what the heck are you doing here? I just saw you a couple of hours ago back at the office.

video

[dekochan]

W-What? But... I've been here for almost a month.

video

[brandnewday]

No, that's not possible. I definitely saw you with Azusa-san and Ami! ...I think it was you, at least. She looked exactly like you!

(video)

[foreveraclone]

I made that mistake too.

[brandnewday]

I-it's a perfectly normal mistake, right? It's more complicated than a cellphone, so of course people would be confused...

[foreveraclone]

[he nods.] Yeah, it's... I don't know if it's common, but you're not the only one.

[brandnewday]

It's okay, Hibiki! I'm sure you'll make a mistake that's unique to you! Don't worry.

T-that's not what I'm worried about, Psychetaro! I'm not gonna do something like that! [Oh. Wait, eyes back to the screen. Hello again, Conner.] Um...right! I guess everyone's bound to do something like that once in a while, haha...sorry about makin' ya listen to all of it, though!
