First Goal - Roommate Check. [Audio]

[headup_stickontheice]

[Clearing of a throat, and a little tapping.]

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.]

I'll be there in a bit. I get the biggest bed, don't you dare think about taking it.

[headup_stickontheice]

O-of course! But... [There's shuffling; he's walking, sounds like. A long pause, footsteps continued.] ...It looks like they're all the same size.

action

[dekochan]

[ Iori slams the front door open and gives Campbell a good staredown. Her Elecmon catches up with her, panting and furrowing his eyebrows. It's questionable if she even listened to his last message that he sent her. ]

I guess you'll be living with me, so you should know that my room is off limits. I'm a lady so I can't just have boys that I don't know barging into my bedrooom, got it?

action

[headup_stickontheice]

[ Campbell, for the record, is sitting on the couch right next to the door, so he jumps and drops the D-Terminal in his hand. What Iori might also notice is he's got some flickering data around him occasionally, particularly around his arms. ]

Yeah-- of course, yeah. Definitely, I'll stay...out of your room.

[ A cry from another room; it sounds like his partner is exploring. ]

One of the roomies is here?! Another girl! Woo!

action

[dekochan]

Is that your partner?

[ Iori begins looking around for the digimon, her own Elecmon stumbling after her into the room. ]

I apologize, sir. There isn't much I can do about her behavior...

[skycutter]

[Five minutes after the post:]

I'm fine with anything. You can just mark your room if you want, and I'll get something that's not taken.

voice;

[headup_stickontheice]

O...kay. I'll...take the one closest to the door.

This isn't how to make friends, we're gonna be living with these people! [More rustling again; she took the D-Terminal.] Hello, new roomie! This is Campbell, I am Lucemon! What's your name?

voice;

[skycutter]

I, uh. I'm Hope.

[Prodding Renamon till:]... Light.

How about the, uh. Girl? Where's she staying? [living with a girl oh god this is going to be so horribly awkward]

voice;

[headup_stickontheice]

Your partner gave you a nickname! That is so cool!

Guess I'll...meet you later?

Fine, fine, maybe bonding's better in person. Ooo, I'll go see what's in the kitchen...

voice;

[skycutter]

Maybe tonight. [Since he's busy trying to get a lay of the land here.]

voice; hope it's ok that I'm dropping in here! If not I can delete

[dekochan]

I picked my room, so you get the one that's left over. Not like it's a big deal or anything, they all look the same...

voice; it's completely fine!

[skycutter]

All right then.

[Honestly he doesn't get this huge deal about rooms...

Then again he's probably the only one who's spent a great deal of time around adults who have other things to worry about.]

[audio]

[renegadedriving]

[Shepard, upon listening to this, has come to realization that there are no adults and these kids are going to be living on their own.]

Hello. This is Commander Shepard, and I have a question for you.

Are there any adults staying in your apartment?

[Don't worry, kid, she's going to offer to give you guys some leftovers or something just in case you don't know how to cook.]

[audio]

[headup_stickontheice]

I...don't think so? No, yeah, no. Everyone sounds...young.

[audio]

[renegadedriving]

[Shepard's sigh is audible over the connection.]

That's what I thought. There are only 2 or 3 adults in the entire town, from what I've seen. Do you know how to cook?

[audio]

[headup_stickontheice]

[A pause. It sounds like he's trying to--]

Cereal and toast? I can microwave mac 'n cheese okay.

[--yeah, that's a no.]

[audio]

[skycutter]

I can cook.

[Beat.] A little.

[martianimalism]

002? Um. [Checking. Checking. Nope.] Sorry, I'm in 009, but maybe we can hang out sometimes. I mean, I think they're all in the same building.

[headup_stickontheice]

[!!! Another person not in his room replying to this! What do.]

Uh. I-- I mean, sure. [Too stunned to turn it down.] What's-- who're you?

[martianimalism]

The name's Beast Boy. And uh--- actually, this would be easier to explain if I showed you.

[Which means this audio is now video.] Tada! [Have a green half-monkey boy.]

[headup_stickontheice]

[Cam's switches. To video. Too. Because his shocked face has to be seen.]

...You aren't the same person I met in the park, right?

[trainsurdragons]

Wait, your room? ...Do you think you could tell me which buildings we're supposed to be staying in? ...I've got my room, but it's not like I'm being helped otherwise.

Hey hey I'm doin' the best I can here kid!

[headup_stickontheice]

[Why do people keep talking to him other than his roommates, why.]

It's-- Lucemon showed me, figured it out, it's a place called the... Meeting Hall? Right by where we all...arrived.

[trainsurdragons]

Meeting Hall, right by the Terminal. Right. I'll remember that.

[Gomamon frowns hard, letting out a heavy, forlorn sigh.]

Ohh, sure. Start listenin' to all the other Digimon except ol' Gomamon. I see how it is.

Dunno why I'm here in the first place.

[headup_stickontheice]

[Obviously, Lucemon grabs the D-Terminal from Cam, because her voice is louder than his was; or maybe she's just louder by nature.]

Why, that's silly! Because you're partners! Fated to be together, destined! You're supposed to get along eventually, yes indeed! Bound to! Go, go! Bonds of friendship!

[In the background, Cam's small uhhh... can be heard.]
