01; Hashire! Penguin! (video)

[sonati]

<sub>[The feed starts very shakily, and doesn't seem very steady, before it's clear that the source comes from Sonata jumping on the bed, apparently practicing her singing, as she's been practicing, amusingly enough, Hashire! Penguin!. Hopefully her roomies aren't around, though maybe they should... just start learning to live with having Sonata as a roommate. Penguinmon can't be seen, but he can be heard offscreen.

Apparently he isn't too much of a fan.]</sub>

You really shouldn't be jumping around like that. _{[Kid you'll break your neck and he doesn't want to be responsible]}

Sonata's practicing! _{[Why do you have to be such a killjoy, Penguinmon]} Slowpoke should practice, too!

I wish you would stop calling me that... [Everyone else's Digimon partners seem to be getting much better nicknames, while he's stuck being called 'Slowpoke']

Slowpoke needs to move faster! Slowpoke! Slowpoke! Slow- huh?

<sub>[Sonata abrubtly stops jumping on the bed, as something's caught her attention. Penguinmon, apparently, is now... Gatomon.

Well, it got her to stop jumping around, at least.]</sub>

Whoah, Slowpoke, you turned into a kitty!

... It looks that way, yes.

[ It's not that she doesn't want to use the communication she got. it's just... going to take time for her to gather her thoughts to even make a semi-coherent post yet. Which is why she's content to let Bokomon browses it for now. At least, until she hears a certain song

and a certain voice

CAN IT BE SOMEONE SHE KNOWS IS ALSO HERE!?! ]

... Sonata!?

[ The prospect of that got her so excited she hurriedly scrambles to check the d-terminal... promptly crashing on top her partner, both their faces ending up a little too close to the video feed ]

Oh, is that someone you know, Makoto? See, I was right. They'll all eventually arrive here. You just have to wait a bit.

[ she'd respond, but making sure it is her fellow illegal idol that's with the newly transformed peguin/kitty comes first ] Sonata, Sonata! That's really you, right?!

video; 1/??

[sonati]

_{[Is that a fellow illegal idol Sonata hears--]}

video; 2/4??

[sonati]

_{[And not just any old illegal idol- it's Grumbly.
Cue Sonata's face pressed up close to the screen as well. Sorry Gatomon, Sonata thinks it's cool and all that you went from penguin to cat, but you aren't an illegal idol.]}

[sonati]

Grumbly! Grumbly's here now!

video; k done

[sonati]

Sonata looked all over for you!

She thought one of us ate you and 'Linda' until she found Orine. I told her it was impossible. _{[KIDS THESE DAYS]}

[uniquevalue]

Ah, so that happened to you, too? [ it's okay gatomon. bokomon feels you... ] I repeatedly told Makoto that none of us would do that, but she wouldn't listen either...

H-Hey! It's not that impossible, you know... And besides, you said that I probably wouldn't die if that happens. Which isn't the same at all!

[uniquevalue]

[ but that aside, the relief she feels at actually seeing Sonata is making her tear up a little bit. ]

But I've been looking for you and everyone else, too! I met Orine before, but... we really aren't the only ones here, are we?

[sonati]

_{[Just a saaad little headshake.]}

Sonata looked all over... I didn't see Sis-Sis, either.

[uniquevalue]

Then I guess it really is just us... [ sighs a little ] I mean, there's no helping it now, but still...

[uniquevalue]

A-Anyway, Sonata, where are you staying at right now?

[sonati]

Sonata's room number is F1 007. Where's Grumbly staying? Sonata will come visit!

[uniquevalue]

... Wait, then that means we're actually staying in the same apartment... [ which meant she was worried about it all for nothing huh... ]

But my room is on the third floor. It's room F3 008, to be exact.

1/3 video --> action

[sonati]

F3 008...

[sonati]

Got it! Don't move an inch, Grumby. Sonata'll be right there.

[sonati]

<sub>[And she closes the feed as she grabs poor Gatomon and makes her way out of her room and upstairs towards Makoto's.

When she reaches her destination, Sonata will just invite herself inside, because knocking is for squares.]</sub>

Grumbly!

1/3

[uniquevalue]

[ the feed closed before she could reply, but Makoto gets the gist of it at least. Still, even if she did expect it, she was caught a little off-guard when Sonata bursts in without knocking somehow... ]

--Sonata!

[uniquevalue]

[ Even so, Sonata seems to be as energetic as ever. She knows she just saw her on the video, but seeing her friend in person makes her feel a lot more relieved that her friend really is okay... ]

[uniquevalue]

[ that said though... ]

Hey, don't just barge in like that! Knock first next time!

[sonati]

But Sonata just wanted to make sure Grumbly was okay.

[uniquevalue]

Well, I am! ...And I'm glad that you are, too.

[sonati]

_{[GROUP HUG (sorry Gatomon) and peeriiiiing at Bokkomon]}

So is this your Digimon partner, Grumbly?

[uniquevalue]

Y-Yeah, she's Bokomon...

[ who's now giving a little wave to Sonata upon her introduction. Makoto on the other hand is eying Gatomon as she's being hugged... it finally dawns on her to ask how did the penguin turn into cat just before. ]

Your partner was... a penguin before, wasn't he? How did he change into a cat?!

[sonati]

Huh? Oh yeah... Sonata's roommate said it was something they can do.

1/2

[uniquevalue]

Wait, so they all can change into a different species? That's... even stranger than the differences between the Funghi.

[uniquevalue]

[ Turns to her own partner... If a penguin can turn into cat, who knows what's going to happen to her partner! ] You're... You're not going transform into something weird, are you? [ aka something that will eat her for real ]

Mmm... Maybe? I won't really know until after it happens.

...Ahh, seriously?! That's not reassuring at all!
