[Well here goes nothing. Marino stares at the device and decides on what is the most important thing to say. She's surprisingly calm. It doesn't take too long for her to decide on a course of action. Offering a polite smile, she stares at the device. Clearing her throat, she leans a bit forward.]

Excuse me, has anyone heard or seen someone called Mizuno Yō?

I'm her older sister and I'll really appreciate it if anyone can help me. It's really important that I find her. 

[She puts emphasize on the important part but that doesn't seem to be enough.]

The thing is that Mizuno tends to get into trouble. 

[Maybe she shouldn't have said that... A hint of red invades her cheeks. Now, she can only hope that Mizuno doesn't see this.]

Thank you for listening. 

[She quickly turns off the device.]

[Okay...she furrows her brows.]

I'm around 5'5" I think.

[innermonologues]

Blue eyes... redish hair.. 5'5"... Is her hair the same length?

Video

[manticora]

[She absentmindedly runs her fingers in her hair.]

No, mine is a little longer. Mizuno's bangs are a little different too. They are parted in the middle.

Oh and she tends to wear her hair clipped back like this.

[She gathers her hair and holds it against the middle of her head.]

... Anything else?

Video

[manticora]

[well there's the whole part about some people possibly being after her sister but Manticore will take care of that.]

If you don't mind me asking, are you some sort of detective or something?

Audio;

[innermonologues]

... No. I just want to make sure it's her if I spot her.

Video

[manticora]

Oh.

[It feels weird having someone trying to help.]

Thank you.

[A small smile.]

I'm Marino. What's your name?

Audio;

[innermonologues]

[ His voice sort of turns a little more quiet. ]

Squall.

Video

[manticora]

Squall...

[She tests out his name.]

It's nice to meet you.

Audio;

[innermonologues]

Marino.

[ Pause. ]

Ah... yeah sure.

Video

[manticora]

How long have you been here?

[It feels a bit weird to just hear the voice of someone she doesn't know but at least he seems very calm.]

Audio;

[innermonologues]

Just recently. Four or five days now.

Video

[manticora]

Five days...

[Her hand tightens on the fan in her hand. A lot can happen in those few days.]

You haven't seen or heard about anyone from Vanishing Age have you?

Audio;

[innermonologues]

...Not that I know of, but I haven't really... met many people.

[ A smaller voice pipes up in the background. ]

Because he hasn't left his room!

Shut it, you.

[manticora]

[She raises an eyebrow.]

Who's that?

[innermonologues]

Hi! My name is Kudamon. I'm Squall's partner.

[manticora]

Kudamon?

[Well this one is friendly.]

Are you one of those creatures?

[innermonologues]

That I am, Miss! Here hold on..

[ Kudamon messes with the D-terminal and then bam! A cute face appears on it. ]

Hi.

video

[manticora]

[Oh wow. Why are these creatures so cute? Must resist them.]

Hi, Kudamon. It's nice to meet you.

video

[innermonologues]

It's nice to meet you too. I'm sure we will get along just fine.

video

[manticora]

Ah, yes.

[She pauses.]

You're like Salamon right?

video

[innermonologues]

You mean like the other Digimon? Yep!

Video

[manticora]

[She's not sure what think about these creatures.]

You look different, though. Different types?

Video

[innermonologues]

Just like all of you humans have differences we do to. We're all different shapes and sizes.

Video

[manticora]

[She nods her head.]

That makes sense.

[There's a pause as she seems to wonder something.

Do you think they chose the right people?

[She's not sure she should be here. Someone like her...]
