[ The D-Terminal turns on to show Zack sitting on the couch, fiddling with his cellphone. He flips it open and closed a few times, looking more than a little exasperated when the screen remains blank. After a few seconds, he addresses the network; ]

Hey, did anyone else wind up bringing their cellphones here with them? I tried to check mine and it won't even turn on. I figured I'd at least be able to see my messages, even if I can't make any calls.

[ He flips it open again, pulls the battery out and then shoves it back in and still it won't work. Great. ]

So, am I the only lucky one having trouble here?

I guess you could say that. [ You know, since he's locked himself in his room since he got here. ]

[makoinfused]

[ Astounding. ] Really? They're not going to bite you or anything, you know. You should try and talk to some of the people here - everyone I've met so far has been great.

[innermonologues]

Seifer might.

[makoinfused]

Might what? Bite you...?

[innermonologues]

He's capable of doing so.

[makoinfused]

Uh, [ gross???? ] Right. I'll keep that in mind.

[innermonologues]

[ awkward pause. ]

Anyway... I'll leave the friend making to you.

[makoinfused]

Aw, seriously? You've got to at least try, man. I'll even give you some lessons.

[innermonologues]

Lessons?

[makoinfused]

[ Chuckles. Man, he didn't think you'd take him seriously, Squall, ] On how to make friends, obviously. First one is free.

[innermonologues]

It would take more than just lessons I'm afraid.

[makoinfused]

Well, it's not like everyone was born with master social skills like me, [ shut up Zack. ] Seriously, though, I'll help you meet some people if you're up for it.

[innermonologues]

Like you said. Not everyone is born with social skills. Some of us should be left to ourselves. [ Mr. Positive over here. ]

[makoinfused]

Maybe, but we're all supposed to be working together here. And you haven't had much trouble talking to me so far.

[innermonologues]

...As you said, you're a social butterfly. It's easy for you.

[makoinfused]

Doesn't mean you shouldn't try. I'm sure there are people here that want to talk to you. Your partner does, right?

[innermonologues]

He wants to talk to everyone.

[makoinfused]

That's funny, Dorumon doesn't want to talk to anyone half the time. Maybe our digimon were switched.

[innermonologues]

...Maybe we were purposely given oposites.

[makoinfused]

You think? [ shrug, ] I guess that would make sense. Looks like you're going to be stuck with the social butterfly, then.

[innermonologues]

....At least he's cool looking.

[makoinfused]

Yeah? Let me see!

[innermonologues]

... [ He sighs a little and turns his D-T to face Kudamon who's currently curled up on his pillow. ]

[makoinfused]

Hey, you're right, he does look pretty cool. [ Zack turns his own D-T to show Dorumon beside him. The digimon gives Squall a nod before setting his head back down on the couch, ] I think Dorumon could give him a run for his money, though.

[innermonologues]

[ he gives Dorumon a nod back. ]

... He does look pretty cool.
