Alright, now who here is totally excited to meet their new Digimon partners?! [Yeah, she's pretty sure some of you out there aren't the exact definition of elated with who you're paired up with...but don't you worry, that's completely normal. Just give it time...]

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! ♥

[Oh for the love of...

Hope doesn't know who to talk to about his concerns-- the girl who's younger than he is, the linefaced one who looks like she might eat him for just asking things or this girl.

He'll take his chances with this one, considering she's apparently one of the original.]

I have a few questions, please. Why would this world need new people if there are already a lot of you in the first place? With the amount of people here, it seems like an army and...

[Pause. Rewind. New topic. No talking about wars, Hope.]

I'd just like more answers aside from the ones that have been given to us, please.

[Aw, well aren't you so polite! You'll get along well with Koushirou, she's certain.

But he's...apparently busy. Guess you'll have to settle for her. Not that she minds, you're pretty precious!]

That's what we're...trying to find out, actually. In the past, people get "Chosen" because of some threat rearing its ugly head...

[Oops. You didn't want to talk about that, did you?]

I mean, where I come from, everyone has a Digimon partner, though it's just a matter of you two finding each other. If that makes any sense.

...though if it doesn't, keep asking away! I'm here to be of service! ♥

[So basically... she's got nothing.]

So you're saying, it's destiny that we were supposed to meet and maybe be here or something similar. [Considering how destiny was in his world, it's not a good thing for Hope.]

permavid.

[culver]

[a bond, huh? nill looks over at renamon, who is still kind of brooding, and then back to the comm. hopefully her partner will open up a little soon, even if she's still a little intimidated by the digimon. but she gives mimi a friendly wave anyway.]

permavid.

[digipurity]

[Mimi's face brightens with a smile, and she waves back. The girl's quiet, but that won't stop Mimi from chattering away!]

How's your partner holding up? Need any help?

[culver]

[the blonde nods, and tilts the camera so renamon can be seen. the digimon inclines her head slightly, but otherwise doesn't say anything. she thinks they're doing alright.]

[genreawareness]

[. . . three posts, from three different people who seemed to know more about what was going on than anyone else did]

[No way was Kyouko passing up the chance to speak with at least one of them]

Translate? I thought Izumi-kun was very clear in his guide and his welcoming message.

[video]

[digipurity]

[Mimi nervously grins and shrugs.] Well~! That's good, then...! But not everyone's going to be as quick to understand as you, I think!

[After all, look at all these messages left for her! Or can you not see them? Hmm.]

[video]

[genreawareness]

Perhaps not. And how long have you been in the Digital World, Tachikawa-san?

[betrayalcutsdeep]

It's nice to see that our predecessors are so willing to offer advice. I hope I can trouble you for a few questions?

[digipurity]

[Mimi fans a hand in front of her face.]

No trouble at all! No trouble at all! Ask away!

(video)

[strengthinkindness]

[For a moment she looks like she wants to ask something. Her mouth opens, then closes again as a thoughtful, unsure look passes over her face. She seems to be thinking something over.

After another moment, she tries again; still, no words come out, and she glances away, looking suddenly resolved to not say anything.]

[digipurity]

[Oh hey, now! Don't be so shy!]

Something on your mind~? I won't bite! Promise!

[changelingdude]

See? With girls like you around I'm wondering why anyone's worried about this whole thing. You guys have this game down!

So, since you know the neighborhood, what's your FAVORITE part about the digital world?

[digipurity]

[Mimi giggles and winks.] Don't you know it! I'm a pro, you know!

[Koushirou-kun, if you say anything to the contrary she swears she'll..!]

My favorite part? Ooh, that's a toughie....I'd have to say Primary Village, where all the baby Digimon end up!

[atmagecamp]

[Well there's one big question:]

What's data?

[This is so not his time. But hey, at least Gaomon can explain how these D-Terminal thingies work.]

[digipurity]

[Mimi's mouth gapes, though her smile doesn't quite fade...]

...da...ta...? You mean...

[How can someone be sucked into the Digital World if there are no computers?!]

...I might need to get back to you on that one. But...it's like...tiny iiiiitty-bitty little particles that you can't see that go from one place to another...!

[How does I science?!]

[video]

[lastnerv]

[This girl's perkiness is killing him.]

...Is that it? Just "be nice to your partner"?

[Kokuwamon chimes in from off camera.] It's good advice!

[video]

[digipurity]

[PERKPERKPERKPERKPERKPERKPERK--]

Doesn't get much easier than that, does it?!

[Believe me, it could've been much harder. Consider yourself lucky!]

[Kaldur is more than a little interested to meet those that are more in the know. But, then again, he imagines most of the others here are too. He DOES make note of the list of names though for future reference.

Still, it doesn't hurt to also be polite and return the greeting.]

Greetings, Mimi. My name is Kaldur'ahm and thank you for the warm welcome. I am relieved to hear that we will have support in this. But, since I too was called to help here, I would like to return the favor and offer my assistance if there is any help you should require around here.

[He may not be used to digimon but he is used to the "hero" business. He's not going to let a little thing like no powers stop him.]

[video]

[digipurity]

[Oooh hel-lo Mister Muscles! ♥]

Can I call you Kal? I'm gonna call you Kal.

[Because nothing says 'attractive' like tongue-twisting up someone's name, huh?]

Glad you hear you're cut-out for duty! Just...for now, stay on standby and pamper your partner, mm'kay?

[Video]

[trainsurdragons]

....There's one thing I'd like to ask.

[Hiccup shrugs his shoulders, causing Gomamon- who's got either fin flopped around the boy's neck- to bob up and down a bit.]

...Is it...fair that I got an aquatic Digimon?

[Gomamon huffs and looks over sharply, looking particularly offended.]

Fair!? And what's so wrong with aquatic Digimon, huh?

Well it wouldn't be so bad if you weren't making me carry you everywhere.

We'd never get anywhere if you made me walk all the time! And 'sides, I don't even weigh that much!

[Video]

[digipurity]

[Mimi slowly blinks. Oh! The Gomamon-guy!]

...aquatic Digimon are pretty handy, when you get down to it. They're also some of the most powerful!

[What's wrong with having one?] And they're some of the cutest, too~!

[Winkin' right at'cha, Gomamon!]

Remind me to introduce you to Jyou-senpai when he's not busy! You two could exchange tips and stuff!

[firewall]

I understood Izumi-kun's letter fine.. [ oops was that insulting to say?? He's going to quickly retract that statement. ] U—Um, I mean, after I thought about it for a while.. I can see how it might be confusing.

My name is Chihiro Fujisaki. It's nice to meet you, Tachikawa-san. Er.. [ he has a couple questions but isn't sure how to approach them. Might as well just dive into them, right? ] I—Is this place really made completely of data? It's like being right in Tokyo..

video.

[digipurity]

Chihiro-chan, is it? [As far as she knows, that's a girl's name! So until told otherwise, you're one of the lay-deeees~♥]

Just call me Mimi-chan like everyone else, okay? I'm glad everything made sense to you! Not everyone is quite as lucky!

How're you and your partner getting along?
