[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.]

Hey, another Floramon...That's awesome. Although I guess now a nickname would be a good thing...

But what's up? Don't worry about having a shy partner...mine's like that too.

[Oh, hey, another Floramon! Awesome.]

Well, you can be Floramon #1, since you're the first. I can be Floramon #2! [Still waiting for a nickname though, this Floramon wants a nickname.

But anyway, yes. Shy partners.] Yours too? Do partners that end up with us tend to just be shy naturally or something? [It's like a curse or something, seesh. So uncool.]

Huh, been awhile since we had any newbies.

[And adults, too. That was a rarity in this world.]

Hi Floramon!

[Merely seconds after Wheeljack can get his statement out, a Gazimon appears on his shoulder, like some kind of Digi ninja. She seems excited though, clamping her claws over her muzzle.

New people? NEW PEOPLE.]

It's nice to meet you too! I'm You. Well...not...you but-[Wheeljack she really needs a better name.]My name is 'You'.

[She turns to Wheeljack, as if silently asking if he wants to add anything, but the man seems to have occupied his mouth with a burger. Looks like they were in the middle of eating. There's a slight 'ahem' in her voice, to which he swallows.]

...Right. Hey.

[More newbies, huh? Cue Monodramon climbing up on the big teenager's back, excited waving to the D-Terminal.]

Hi Floramon! Sorry that Bruce is shy, but that's ok! My chosen's pretty shy too!

[Leatherhead immediately feels the need to sink off camera and possibly off the ground.]

...yes, I am sorry. My digimon like to talk...a lot.

[You. Well, there could be worse names, really.]

Hello, You! [At least Floramon is being very nice about it and just waves back.] It's nice to meet you too! As well as your partner.

[Now give Floramon a moment as it (he? she? Bruce has no idea) shifts the camera over to Bruce.] Look, Bruce! People! Say hi!

[Bruce glances at the camera, still looking very out of place (and feeling the same as well), but manages a smile once more and nods slightly.] Hello.

[She laughs softly.] Sounds good to me...

Heh, seems like it. S'not too bad though, at least they're nice and everything. Anyway, it's cool to meet you both. [The D-Terminal shifts slightly away from Floramon to show a shy teen with long pink hair.] This is my partner, Fluttershy. Say hi...

[The girl blushes slightly, giving a timid little wave.]

A lot of them seem to be, aren't they? It's really weird.

[But them's the breaks, Floramon guesses - or something like that, anyway. Bruce is close enough to see and hear what's going on from behind Floramon, and as he sees the human on the other hand looking like he wants to disappear, which isn't that all good.

If there's one thing Bruce can do, its to make other feel better, at least.]

Hey, it's fine. [Have a small smile.] Don't worry about it.

[That's what he said! ...And then he named his other Digimon 'Him'.

But the Gazimon gives a wave in return, glad to see a Digimon so chipper about meeting new people. The last one...not so much.

Wheeljack can sense the man's awkwardness (it only fills up the whole room) and smirks.]

Yeah, I didn't exactly take all...this in stride myself. Still don't.

This is Wheeljack! We've been here awhile, so if you've got any questions, feel free to hit us up!

Bruce, huh? [ Asks a young woman with bright pink hair and unearthly green eyes. She smiles, and her teeth are a bit too sharp for normal, her expression shark-like in its broadness. ]

And so farouche! Well, that's just effin' cute. [ She drawls, elbowing an Impmon sitting to one side of her who snickers and nods. A Kotemon sitting on the other side just issues a long-suffering sigh. ]

Well, Bruce and Floramon - you're lovely, by the way - greetings and salutations from this marvelously ridiculous place. I'm Roze and these are my dear friends Musashi and Julie.

[ She grins wider still before the expression falters, then drops completely into sudden seriousness. ]

Don't freak out or anything. Its easier if you just kinda pretend its a VR game or something. Granted some people don't even know what the hell that shit is so...if you need to think of it as a magic spell I suppose that would fly...

My Campbell is also shy, it's common with the Chosen, I think. Campbell, say hello!

[The Digimon's a Lucemon, Lucette, and she's eagerly pointing the D-Terminal at a boy who...actually looks busy lifting weights, in one of the training areas. He turns absentminded and stares blankly at his partner.] Lucette.

[The view shifts back to the Digimon. She sighs.] Well, I had to try, now, didn't I?

Yeah, I wish I knew why he got that way, but I guess I'll find out someday...

[Leatherhead obviously goes red after Monodramon gets done. This new digimon got to be a handful at times. And his first digimon...well, the Impmon just only hung out in the background most of the time.

But at the very least Bruce's words Leatherhead finds a it reassuring.]

You must be one of the new ones. I hope your arrival did not go bad...

[Tony watches the feed, and boy is he incredibly amused at it all, after the initial surprise of actually seeing Bruce.]

You ended up with a flower? That's... Cute. No really it suits you.

[He really tries to not be so amused that no matter where Bruce is he's so. Him.]

Where are you two? I've found a place that has burgers, hurry up.

[Floramon here waves back easily, looking distinctly pleased about this.] Hello, Fluttershy! It's nice to meet you!

[Annnnd half a moment now, because Floramon is pretty much shoving the D-Terminal to Bruce right now.] C'mon, Bruce, say hi!

I-- [Bruce is so unused to this, can you tell. But he does relent, and gives Fluttershy a small wave, doing his best to be polite about it.] Hello, Fluttershy. It's nice to meet you.

[Bruce's expression turns wry at Wheeljack's words, and one can see that he does at least feel a bit comforted with the knowledge. Glad he isn't the only one who feels out of place here.]

It is all rather sudden. [Very, very wry, but at least Bruce is talking, and Floramon looks rather happy with that.]

Nice to meet you again, Wheeljack! I'm sure we can figure it out - Bruce is really smart. [And here Bruce makes another face because its still very weird when strange plant-reptile bipedal monsters keep proclaiming about him.] But if we need help we'll be sure to ask!

I-It's...nice to meet you too...

[A silent, awkward pause.]

Y-You've...just arrived recently...right? H-Have you...had a chance to get settled y-yet?

Edited 2013-12-05 02:38 (UTC)

It's nice to meet you, anyway! As well as your partner!

[Oh, Leatherhead. Bruce can easily sense your discomfort over there, and he's pretty discomforted himself. But at least he can deal with it - sure, suddenly finding yourself in a world apparently made of data with strange monsters is pretty extreme, but he'll manage.]

Nothing happened, if that's what you mean. [Smiles again. See Leatherhead, Bruce is trying to make this easier for the both of them.]

[Well, that is a nice introduction. Floramon looks pretty amused too with Roze's words, while Bruce just shifts a little and rubs the back of his head. It's all kind of new to him, this whole thing - not to mention actually talking to people again. This is such a weird way to get back into civilization after years of self-imposed exile.]

Not quite sure if thinking this as a VR game would help, but thanks. [Utterly wry here, but hey, Bruce is talking.] But its nice to meet you all, regardless. [Even if things could be better.]

[It was a nice try there, Lucette. Floramon can't help but laugh a bit.]

It was a nice try! [Yup, turning the D-Terminal to Bruce now.] Your turn, Bruce! Say hi!

[How many times have you asked him that already, Floramon--but Bruce lets out a small huff and does a small smile, doing his best to look welcoming.] Hello, anyway. It's nice to meet you.

[Floramon doesn't need to try and encourage Bruce to answer this one. As soon as he register's Tony's voice Bruce's face is on the feed, right behind a vaguely surprised Floramon.]

Do you know him, Bruce?

Yeah, I do. [He turns and nods at Tony.] Since when were you here?

[This is important okay Bruce needs to know. He was with you just earlier in the car!!]

[Tony makes a show of thinking for a second]

Two burgers, and three arguments. So. Maybe three hours?

Two hours.

[Dorumon pokes her head over Tony's shoulder]

Hm. Well, she's not as good at arguing as Pepper.

[Dorumon rolls her eyes, Tony isn't looking all that concerned]

Meeting Hall, food cart quality hamburgers, planing to join me?

[Bruce flashes a smile, trying to be comforting now especially when Fluttershy seems to be more nervous than him - which is saying something.]

Not really. I've only been here for about an hour or two, I think. [And most of that time was spent by trying to get used to this place as well as Floramon who Bruce tried to send away but failed spectacularly, as one can probably guess.]

I-I see...Have you been able to find the Meeting Hall at least? That's where your apartment will be...

[Oh, that's about as long as Bruce had been here too, so far. Did they just somehow miss each other, then? Weird.

But well. They've met each other now, so Bruce supposes it doesn't matter.] First thing here and you're on the hamburgers? [A bit incredlously, but Bruce figures it shouldn't be that surprising. Tony is pretty well-known for his eccentrics, after all.]

To understand a new place, you have to get to know it's food.

[Tony gave a bit of a shrug. Because he really enjoys eating.]

You know what I'm noticing? That you're not walking over here.

[Gives a small shake of his head here.] Not yet, but I'm sure I can find it later.

[Floramon pops in here.] I'll help him with that, don't worry!
