[ The feed opens to Kazu looking a little awkward. Like he looks like he's excited to ask something but at the same time he also feels like it's a stupid question and he should totally just bail out now before he embarrasses himself. Luckily Psychemon has got this covered. ]

Kazu wants to know if anyone around here knows how to skate too and if you wanna go skating with him sometime!

Psyche I was just gonna- urg. Well, yeah, any skaters around here? And you know, I mean even if you don't I can show you how if you're interested or something. I found a shop that sells normal inlines and stuff at the mall too so...

What he means is he's lonely and he wants to skate with his friends again instead of just alone!

You're really no help at all Psyche...

[ He sighs and fiddles with his cap. ]

But uh, yeah! If you're interested or something just give me a call... or I'll be at the mall this afternoon anyways.. there are some nice rails and stuff outside...

[ He trails off a little awkwardly before shaking his head and flipping the D-Terminal off. ]

[Oh, he takes a little offense to that! Playful offense, but offense.]

I didn't say I wasn't good. I just...don't do grinding, rail-slides. That's not the kinda stuff we worked on back home.

[ Kazu winces a little and tugs at the edge of his hat. Damn. He didn't fuck up already, did he? ]

Sorry. I'm kinda used to riders who do lots of tricks and stuff. What sorta things do you work on then?

Don't worry about it. Mostly, uh... Speed, agility, dodging... ...D'you know hockey?

I do speed skating too.

[ That's actually like... his primary thing. But tricks are way more fun. ]

And yeah, vaguely. It's not that popular a sport where I'm from, but I watched a couple games last time the winter olympics rolled around.

It's what I practice for. Er, practiced for, anyway. Mostly on ice, but I'm good at in-line skates too. So a mix of speed and...endurance.

[When to dodge and when to let yourself get smashed into a wall. The way some of those kids play it's dangerous.]

I bet you got loads of that. Geez though hockey...

[ He shudders a little... mostly in slight terror. ]

A guy like me'd probably get killed playing that.

[In somewhat surprise, Cam laughs.] What? It's not that...

[He trails off and thinks for a moment...and then nods his agreement.] Yeah, never mind, hockey's pretty rough.

[Looks can definitely be deceiving; 5'7" is not short but at first glance Cam's kinda gentle and puppy-like. Who would think he's the hockey player type?] But uh, freestyle and rail grinds, I'd probably break my neck doing that, so...to each their own?

[ And it's hard to tell from the screen but Kazu is seriously skinny. He's barely 110 lbs soaking wet. He figures he'd be a smear on the ice before the first minute went by. ]

It's honestly not as difficult as it looks! I mean I've only been skating for about a year myself. If you've got the speed and agility that's pretty much half of it right there.

[ God knows he was a spectacular failure the first month or so. ]

[Cam raises a skeptical eyebrow, about to deny the plausibility of him trying it, but.

Well, then he smiles and shrugs.] I...guess I could try it. Yeah, why not? You...still up for company? [Wait--] Uh, right, and I'm Cam.

'Course I am! And I'm Kazu.

[ Oh wait. ]

I think Psyche already mentioned that... but yeah, swing by the mall whenever you're free.

[He holds back a laugh.] Yeah, he did. 'Kay, I'll, uh...bring my own skates.

[Feed ends, and in about ten minutes, Cam trudges on over. Lucette follows, interested in seeing more skating.]

Now, Campbell, you don't need a DexDorugamon or a Beemon to skate?

[Snorts.] No, Lucette, I usually don't dodge giant monsters. [He spies Kazu and waves, tentative.] Uh, hey!
