[Yeah, were you expecting a new arrival? Yes? No? Maybe? Well, whatever the case, here is now a video feed playing on your screens. It is incredibly shaky and three quarters of the screen is covered with something purple, but it is a video feed nevertheless. Clearly, the recorder making this is not adept at handling the D-Terminal, or maybe its something else entirely.

From the first line, its clear that it is indeed something else entirely.] C'mon, you should at least say hello!

--I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

[The second voice is very male-sounding, although quiet and trying his best to be as polite as possible even though there is no real need to be.

From near the mic there is a huff, presumably from the first speaker.] How are you gonna talk to anybody if you won't even say hello?

I--well. [Its clear that the second speaker doesn't seem very comfortable with all of this, and there is a certain amount of discomfort in his voice, especially when he talks again.] It's just been a while, so I'm not really used to--this.

[A brief pause, and when the first speaker talks again this time the voice is not as forceful.] Well, no time like the present to start again, right?

[Another pause here too.] I suppose so.

Good! [And here the D-Terminal is being fumbled now, brought around so that now people are see one Floramon close to the camera. The Digimon smiles before waving with its free hand.] Hello! I'm Floramon! I don't have a nickname like the most of you, so Floramon is just fine until I do have one.

But this isn't about me -- I've gotten a partner, and he wants to say hi to all of you! [And here Floramon moves, shifting the camera so that now Bruce is on the screen, and he gives a tenative smile to the camera before he waves weakly.

Floramon, apparently, is not pleased by this.] C'mon, Bruce! Say hi!

...hello. [He tries the smile again, but its weaker this time, and Bruce is still looking distinctly uncomfortable about all of this.

Some pity is taken, at least, and Floramon comes back into the screen, looking somewhat apologetic.] Sorry, my partner's kind of shy - but he's really nice, I can assure you! And I'm looking forward to working with you all in the future! Feel free to say hi back too! I'll make sure my partner answers to you next time.

[With that said, Floramon gives one more wave before the feed shuts off.]

[amygdalae]

That's always good to know. [Nice, good people around = always a good thing.]

[beingthecreature]

And even if there weren't good people around and nice things happening, then the heroes would take care of 'em! [Punch punch at the air.] Boom! Whoosh!

[Chris just rolls his eyes good-naturedly. This Dracomon has a real love for adventure.]

[amygdalae]

[Bruce quirks a smile.]

That's good to know, too.

[beingthecreature]

My friends are heroes! [The biggest, eager grin.]

Chris's other Digimon can become a big strong Moosemon! And and Martin's Digimon, she's an Aquilamon! [Clearly, "big impressive flying thing" means a lot to him.] They helped Fluttershy a friend of ours and rescued an egg just as a building fell down!

[Heroes to the rescue.]

[amygdalae]

[Very heroic, indeed. Bruce is taking all of this into mind.]

That's very brave of you.

[beingthecreature]

[A light throat clearing.]

It's... not as awesome as he makes it sound. [It's never as cool as when someone's telling the story, but that's beside the point.]

Fluttershy was protecting a Digiegg for a.. friend, and it was in danger during an attack that waged over the whole city. We ran in to get it and bring it back. That's all there really was to it-

But it was awesome and scary and really-!

[It's at this point Chris put his arm around Nes and kept his snout shut with both hands.]

[amygdalae]

Regardless of the story, it's still a brave thing to do. Not many people can say they can do something like that, after all.

[beingthecreature]

I guess not, but there wasn't much to it. [He's spitting his words a little, if only because Nes was struggling against him.]

That egg needed to come out, there was all there was to it. [Chris, you can argue it humbly all you want, but that was pretty heroic.]

[amygdalae]

[It's okay, they can both be humble people to each other here.]

What you did was still important, though. You should take pride in that.

[beingthecreature]

I do. I just object to it being made to be bigger than it was.

[A wry grin at Nes, as he pokes a finger on the Digimon's snout and pushes lightly, which makes the dragon laugh.]

[amygdalae]

[There's a hint of a smile on Bruce's end.]

All's well that ends well, at least. That's the most important thing.

[beingthecreature]

Yeah, that's all that really matters. No matter how ya get there- [A brief grin to Nes.] -so long as everything comes up alright in the end.

[amygdalae]

I quite agree. [It is something good to keep in mind, yes.]
