[Hello, Terminal Tokyo. It seems someone has opted for the 'start pushing buttons and see what happens' method of getting to know their D-Terminal, with the initial result being a nonsensical text message. A moment later, though, the audio cuts in, with a little girl's voice coming over the airwaves.]

-nk I got it to do something! Did that message just get sent? [slight pause] Oh wait, it's sending now! I think...? Wasn't there supposed to be pictures too?

[There's the faint sound of a few more buttons being pressed before a second voice pipes up, also sounding young and female, its tone fondly amused.]

Here, let me.

[A moment later, the video turns on, showing Terminal Tokyo a close up of the smiling face of a Salamon, who seems to be the owner of the second voice.]

There we go.

[The Salamon moves out of the way and the owner of the first voice can finally be seen, a little girl with big orange eyes and a face that's two-tone tan, as well as oddly soft-looking. The girl's face is framed by what looks like equally two-toned hair, mostly red with a broad purple stripe, that's pulled back into a short pony tail atop her head. Those looking closely might notice a few oddities, like the fact that her eyes have slit pupils, rather than round, and that a set of tiny fangs can be glimpsed in her mouth when she speaks.]

Thanks! So... um... hi, everyone. [waves to the camera with a bit of an uncertain smile] First of all, I'm Wily-Kit, and this's my partner, Emerick.

[She briefly turns the camera back on the Salamon, who waves a fore-paw, before turning it back on herself.]

Second... um... does anybody know where I can get a winter cloak, or something? I'm not really dressed for the weather around here...

[Skilled observers of backgrounds will notice that she's still in the main terminal building, apparently having opted to stay there for the moment rather than trying to find her way to her apartment in the cold, so anyone who wants to find her can do so there.]

The entire city fell? Was everyone okay, or was it as bad as that sounds?

[alley_kit]

Everybody was mostly OK. Panthro managed to send power from all the other machines in the the city to the engines and land it... well, about as gently as you can land a falling city. And the Berbils'll be able to get it flying again, eventually.

[lovespinkbirdies]

[ Chika let out a sigh of relief, and then giggled. Maybe she should've been able to guess because of how calm Kit sounded about it, but still. ]

That's good! I'm glad to hear everyone was mostly okay there. I bet that whole thing was pretty scary when it was happening, wasn't it?

[alley_kit]

Yeah.

[Kit giggled a bit herself.]

Not as scary as Panthro trying to fly the Feliner, though.

[No one is going to let you live that incident down, Panthro, wherrver you are, least of all a certain pair of mischievous kittens.]

[lovespinkbirdies]

... I'm guessing that he can't fly anything at all, can he?

[alley_kit]

[Kit shakes her head.]

Nope. And it turns out he;s scared of heights, too, which he didn't know until he tried flying.

Tygra's a lot better at flying though, thankfully.

[lovespinkbirdies]

[ Wow that was just... poor guy. ]

Well, umm... I guess he doesn't really try the whole flying thing anymore. But it's a good thing that you all have someone who can fly whatever you need to.

[ Not that it matters here, but it's still important to Kit so... ]

[alley_kit]

Nope. He didn't even wanna climb out of the tower window to get around the birds that were guarding us in Evista City.

But yeah, Tygra's great at flying. He beat Voltaire in a flying contest when Voltaire was using his personal, super-fast ship and Tygra had to use an old beat up one.

[lovespinkbirdies]

That's really great Kit! I mean, I don't know how hard that actually is, but I'm pretty sure that it's not easy to do anything like that.

[ She does pause for a bit though, before saying something else. ]

It's also really great that you have a lot of people to look up to back home too.

[alley_kit]

[Kit smiles.]

Yeah. All my friends are pretty cool. Most of the time, anyway. Sometimes they mess up, or do gross stuff like Tygra and Cheetara being all kissy-face at each other, but they're great to have around.

[lovespinkbirdies]

[ Chika giggles at the thought. ]

And I thought watching Masaru-niichan and Yoshino-san bicker like an old married couple was annoying! At least they don't do it all that often around me. Does that happen a lot with those two?

[alley_kit]

Not a whole lot. Usually after they just saved each other they get that way, but sometimes they just are.

Tough Cheetara said Tygra was really funny when he accidentally drank the love potion Lion-O wanted to give to Pumyra. It made him love everything and act all goofy. [giggles a little]

I wasn't there for that, though. Kat and I were still back in the Dog City when that happened, so Cheetara had to tell us about it.

[lovespinkbirdies]

[ Chika giggles. ]

Well, I guess it's not too bad if they don't do it all the time. And I don't even want to think about what a love potion could do to some people.

[ After all, normal people in love was silly enough. How much worse could it be if it was magic love? ]

[alley_kit]

Yeah. Though apparently Ponzie- the guy Lion-O bought the potion from- wasn't very good at making potions anyway, so that mighta been part of it too.

[lovespinkbirdies]

... Oh. That might have been a problem.

Though he probably shouldn't have bought a love potion in the first place.

[alley_kit]

Yeah, probably not. But Lion-O wouldn't be as much fun if he didn't do dumb things like that sometimes.

((OOC: Wanna just handwave them talking a bit more then Kit going home? Cause I really have no idea where this is going. XD))

[lovespinkbirdies]

I guess that's true. I know a couple of people who wouldn't be as fun to be around if they were smart all the time.

((OOC: Sure, I don't mind that at all. They'd probably just talk about a bunch of random things anyway))
