I...would like to ask for advice.
[He pauses, as once again he tries to collect his thoughts.]
My presence here...confuses me. My life ended due to a grievous wound, yet here I stand, whole and unharmed. I believe I was brought here in order to aid the efforts to return the Real World and the Digital World to normal, but I do not understand how my data could be replicated so well. I have not tested this body to its limits, but I will not do so until I have found a space where such destruction as I was capable of will not have ill effects.
Does...any of you have some theory, for what may have allowed me to be revived this way?
Hi, hello. I, just got to my room, and I think I'm...the first one here. Are my-- I mean, is there anyone else living in room... F1 002? Just don't wanna...take the wrong room.
See, Campbell, was that all that bad?
[Almost unintelligible, a mumble that might sound a bit like just... 's fine. And then a soft crackling; it seems like the device has shifted, perhaps Lucemon hugged him?]
We're looking for the Chosen and their partners who'll be joining us here! F1 002, give a shout so he can pick a room without fear!
Luce...
[Another bit of rustling and the feed clicks off.]
Welcome to the Digital World. My name's Hikari Yagami and my partner's name is Gatomon. We're part of the group of Chosen Children that were here before you. Most of us are really busy right now and there was an earthquake just before all of you got here... So I think big brother and the others are focusing on figuring out what's wrong right now.
Oh! Please don't be mean to your Digimon. I know the Digital World can be scary, but they're here to be your friend. They're really fun to play with, too. Well, Gatomon doesn't like playing very much, but most Digimon I've met do.
I hope everyone can get along with their partners.
I'm gonna go see if I can find my big brother, but if anyone needs help just ask. The Digital World really isn't as bad as it seems at first...
[A pause and she gives a tiny bow.]
It's nice to meet everyone!
There were three of us. I don't understand why there has to be so many now.
[ There's no audible answer and Ruki rolls her eyes, resettling her attention on the screen. ]
Look. I'm tired of waiting, so I'm making a proposal:
Anyone who wants to train, meet me outside of the public training buildings at seven a.m., every morning. The goal is to be able to leave the city and go fight for real after a week or so, so don't bother coming if you're going to drag your feet.
I know it's a lot to take in, and pretty unexpected, but believe me when I tell you that life for you is never going to be the same, and it's definitely a good thing! ♥ I don't know how I could've gotten to where I am nowadays without Palmon...
[She seems to be digressing. Has she forgotten that she's addressing a load of new, confused, and potentially scared people?]
Oh! I should probably introduce myself, huh? [She's still all smiles regardless, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of that changing...yet.] I'm Mimi Tachikawa, one of the original Chosen Children, right there with Taichi-san, Hikari-chan, Koushirou-kun, Yamato-san, Sora-san, Jou-senpai, and Takeru-kun!
Don't worry, you'll have time to remember our names later. For now, I recommend you really get to know your new Digimon partner! It'll come in real handy later when it's time for them to evolve...and the stronger your bond becomes, the better, I always say!
...why, you wonder? Well...eheh...you'll see. [Impish grin.]
But! I guess all that's left now is for Koushirou-kun to explain the nitty-gritty, huh? Don't worry, it might sound complicated, but if someone like me can get the hang of it, anyone can!
N-not that I'm dumb or anything! But it was a lot to figure out, at first! But we've blazed the trail for others to follow, and we're here to help you every step of the way!
[She leans in and cups a hand beside her mouth to whisper dryly.] Especially with translating what Koushirou-kun tells you. It's taken me years to figure it out, but I'm the expert, now! Come to me if you don't get it.
[Back to normal volume! Which is pretty up there.] Hope to see you in the Digital World sometime soon, lovelies! Ciao! ♥
[ The feed opens to a very determined looking Psychemon. Because you see his partner is in trouble! And he's decided he need to find some help. ]
Hi! My partner Kazu needs medical attention. Is there anyone around who knows first-
PSYCHEMON! What are you doing?!
[ The sound of frantic foot steps can be heard and a few seconds later part of Kazu's legs can be seen on the screen. ]
You fell in the river so I'm getting you medical assistance.
I'm just wet, not hurt!
But you were flailing around like crazy...
That's... before I realized I could stand up in it.
[ Dammit. Kazu had counted his lucky stars that no one had been around to see that particular wipeout (he momentarily forgot that he couldn't quite clear distances that far for the moment). He knew Psychemon probably meant well.. but geez. With a sigh he gently pried his D-Terminal from Psychemon's paws. Now that his face is visible on the screen he clearly is quite wet. ]
Look, sorry. I'm okay really.
[ Ahahaha... this was awkward. Should he keep talking? Should he just disconnect here. ]
So uh, hey. How's everyone getting along and stuff?
[ God he was just so lame sometimes. ]

Throw a hand up if you're pretty sure you were supposed to be dead before you showed up here?
Oh and... if you're rooming in 007 drop a line too. Erm. Thanks
