01 Butterfly (Video)

[strengthinkindness]

[The video comes to life suddenly, shaking a little as the device is inspected by the young woman. It's pointed off to the side, then up, then down at the ground, before being righted.

When she finally notices it, she blinks curiously.]

Oh, Lopmon...what does that mean?

[The video moves a little, and the rabbit-like Digimon's face appears right under hers. He looks into the screen thoughtfully, then looks up at her.]

You've activated the video feed.

The...video feed...?

Yeah. Right now it's transmitting a video to everyone's D-Terminals.

[Even though the video isn't directly focused on her, anyone who's paying attention will notice her eyes widening.] E...e-everyone's...?

Anyone who's got one.

[The young woman gives a small squeak, and suddenly the video is shaking once again. Blurred images of the ground, the sky, any nearby scenery flash by in rapid succession as though the camera was spinning.

There's a brief flash of Lopmon approaching before the camera is once again steadied, focused on the ground as his feet touch down. The video shakes a little more as the device is turned over, and there's a sheepish smile on Lopmon's face when it comes back into view.]

S-sorry about that everyone. Fluttershy is a bit...well, shy.

[He glances back towards his partner; though his head takes up most of the screen, a little farther back are a pair of eyes staring back at him, peaking over a curtain of light-yellow feathers.

Lopmon sighs.]

[Wait is that.... a brown and pink and boy version of Terriermon? Neku looks between the feed and his partner a few times. But after the shock he notices the shy older girl and sighs, rubbing his neck awkwardly. Ah damn...]

Hey... it's alright. You're not nearly the most embarrassing thing that's been shown on here today. You can come out...

[strengthinkindness]

[The camera shifts again as Lopmon disappears, focusing the screen on Fluttershy.]

Don't worry, Fluttershy. They just wanna talk, that's all.

[For a moment nothing happened, except maybe a slight tremor through the veil of feathers. Then, slowly, the feathers part and reveal the young woman, looking cautiously at the screen as her wings fold a little behind her.]

[scratchitti]

[After the Reapers, the wing don't freak him out as much as they could have, and the pink hair makes something tighten in his chest. So when he speaks his voice betrays some soft fondness along with the awkwardness.]

There you go. Fluttershy, right? [He assumes it's a nickname, to be honest]

[strengthinkindness]

[A small, hesitant nod.] Y-yes...

[scratchitti]

I'm Neku. This- [He gestures for his partner, and for once she doesn't have anything snarky to say] - is Terriermon.

Hi!

[strengthinkindness]

O-oh...Lopmon, that almost looks like you...

[The camera shifts again, and Lopmon's face appears on screen. Curious at first, he then breaks into a grin.]

Hi!

[scratchitti]

Like a vanilla and a chocolate flavor. That's... kinda cool actually.

[Terriermon's ears perk happily and she just looks charmed by seeing a Lopmon]

[strengthinkindness]

[Fluttershy manages a small giggle.]

They're like...twins...

[scratchitti]

Huh, they kinda are.

[And with their partners breaking the ice-]

So, uhm... you two alright? All this is pretty crazy.

[strengthinkindness]

O-oh...Y-yes, I think...I-I think so. It's just...a little overwhelming...

[scratchitti]

[He laughs, though it's not a very happy sound] Ain't that the truth, but at least it seems... mostly safe?

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods.] S-so far...at least.
