concerto 006

[eatmybow]

[A Strabimon comes into focus on the screen. He looks vaguely concerned, and a Hyokomon can be seen yelling MAYA over and over again in the background.]

Are there any Chosen on the island of San Francisco that would be willing to help Hyokomon and I locate our partner, Maya? She was supposed to be back by now, but it's probable that she got distracted by something.

[Hyokomon has switched from just yelling Maya's name to yelling various threats of never-ending house arrest. Strabimon glances over his shoulder and sighs.]

Maya is a little over five feet tall, has blond hair, and was last seen wearing an owl hat and a sweater with an owl on it. She also had a cello strapped to her back, and we would be very grateful if you had any information about her whereabouts.

...Why are so many people losing their partners?!

[Yes, all two of them, Sprocket. At least that he knows of, anyway.]

[Video]

[eatmybow]

It's quite difficult to keep track of three people over such a long journey, but I think this instance is really my fault. Maya wanted to be on her own for a while, and I convinced Hyokomon to let her be.

We've been travelling non-stop and I thought it was only fair that she be allowed to explore a little.

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

Wow... So it really is your fault! You sound like a terrible partner. Grounded forever.

[Video]

[eatmybow]

If Hyokomon has her way, both Maya and I will never leave her sight ever again.

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

Well now she's just being a helicopter mon. You gotta balance, doofus! It's okay to give your partner space, just not when we're having a TERRIBLE EMERGENCY.

[How long did you think it'd take for him to answer this, JB? Did you guys have a bet. It's Cam, on a train.]

She's what? Look, I'll- me and Lucette and Salamon'll be there before the day's done, alright? Keep me updated. ...Why didn't she take her D-Terminal?

[Maya Matlin is an impulsive mystery of a girl isn't she.]

[Video]

[eatmybow]

[JB had a bet with himself. You're late, Cam. He expected you to answer before he'd actually put the request online - where are your Super Maya Senses^TM?]

It wasn't in her cello case. [No seriously, that's the answer.] Not that it would do much good anyway, since we've only got one.

[Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

[THIS WORLD ALLOWS NO POWERS REMEMBER.]

Yeah, 'course... Where'd you see her last? What'd she say she was going to do?

[Video]

[eatmybow]

[It's not like Strabimon knows that.]

We saw her last at the terminal. I believe she said she was going to look for a music store, but we've come across several and no Maya.

[Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

Music stores? [OH...] In a place as big as San Francisco, there are probably tons. [He leans away from the D-Terminal, looking out the train window.] 'm close enough to see you, I'll be there soon.

[yayashton]

[There's a very long list of music stores, split into "sells instruments" and "sells music." Ryan's busy in the Castro looking for glitter, but he feels obligated to help somehow.]

Try Amoeba first. I got lost in there.

[text]

[headup_stickontheice]

Wow. Thanks, man. I'll do that.

[text]

[yayashton]

No problem.

[strengthinkindness]

You lost your partner too, huh?

[eatmybow]

Unfortunately, yes. Though with how often she slips out from under our watch, it's surprising we didn't lose her sooner. Did you lose yours in the chaos?

[strengthinkindness]

Yeah. We got separated from her on Primary Village, and we haven't been able to find her since.

[eatmybow]

Oh dear. There seems to be a case of missing Chosns going around. What does she look like? We'll try to keep an eye out for her as well.

[strengthinkindness]

Yeah. That's kind of a problem...

She's kinda short...long pink hair, a pair of yellow feathery wings. Wears a lot of yellow.

[the_lion_roller]

[Someone else is missing?!]

That's Cam's friend, Maya, right?

[He kinda remembers her from Cam's birthday party.

...Wait a second.]

...Did you say San Francisco?

[What in the world?]

[Video]

[eatmybow]

"Friend" is one way of putting it. [Strabimon kind of chuckles. He thinks it's really funny to call Maya Cam's friend.] And yes, we are on the island of San Francisco. Maya tells me it is not an island in her world.

[Video]

[the_lion_roller]

[He's just not with it when it comes to other people's relationships.]

Yeah...hah...she's right. H'it's not an island where I come from either anyway. On a peninsula, sure, but not an island. And it's a huge city...

[Cities are way easier to get lost in than dense jungles or vast deserts so far as he's concerned.]

...Are there people still living there?

[He's actually not sure he wants to know the answer to that.]

[Video]

[eatmybow]

Yes, it is a large city-island and no, there aren't any people here aside from a few Chosen - although there are quite a few roaming Digimon.

[Strabimon turns the camera so a pack of four or five Hawkmon walking across the street is visible.]

[Video]

[the_lion_roller]

Huh...

[Aww, well now, the Hawkmon are cute. Almost completely makes up for the more than a little unnerving idea of a people-less San Francisco. ...Or the idea of the San Francisco he's familiar with back home having vanished.

Wait, he's got something more important to focus on here.]

How long has it been since you last saw Maya?

[hellspawnedhero]

Well shit. I oughta be in town soon myself, so I'll spend some time lookin'.

There ain't a lotta hostile digimon 'round there, are there?

[eatmybow]

No, not really. They mostly seem to be Digimon from Net Sea and ones that flew here from the other islands.

It's very quiet, compared to the other islands.
