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.

<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!

[ 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!

[sonati]

Don't worry, Grumbly! Sonata will protect you.

_{[That's probably even less reassuring.]}

[uniquevalue]

Are you sure about that? I mean, what if your partner change into something weird, too? Then we'll both be in trouble!

[sonati]

Orine will save us, then!

I'm pretty certain I wouldn't eat either of you. _{[Gatomon sees where this is going, man]}

[uniquevalue]

But then what about Orine? You don't find her delicious, too, right?... right?!

[sonati]

I wouldn't eat anyone-- Though if you keep bringing it up, I might rethink that.

See, Grumbly? Nothing to worry about!

1/2

[uniquevalue]

How is that supposed to be nothing?!

[uniquevalue]

... B-But fine, I promise I won't bring it up anymore. Just promise me too that you won't... do whatever we just talked about, okay? [ that doesn't count as bringing it up... right? ]

[sonati]

_{[It sounded like a truce to her!]}

Promise.

[uniquevalue]

Haaah, that's good to hear...

[ sighs in relief for now and flops onto the bed. ]

If only the rest of the Digimon will do the same, too...

[sonati]

You worry too much, Grumbly. Maybe I should call you "The Ultimate Grumbler"!

[uniquevalue]

Oh! So Makoto can evolve, too?

[ peeeeeers at her partner ]

Strange, it doesn't seem like any part of you have changed though...

Oiiiiiii, you two! What does that supposed to mean?!

1/2

[sonati]

Makoto already evolved once- she went from "Grumbly" to "Grumblator"! _{[ENTIRELY NOT HELPING...]}

[sonati]

... But "Ultimate Grumbler" is actually kinda a bit of a mouthful...

[uniquevalue]

Perhaps you can shorten it, though? The UltiGrumbler-- And then MegaGrumbler for when she evolves again!

[ but ponders this very, very serious matter. Bokomon means this in the sweetest way possible, but Makoto just doesn't look like an Ultimate level being okok ]

But in that case, that would make you currently at the Ultimate level, then, Makoto ... Or maybe, Rookie would be more appropriate, if you were just hatched from a digi-egg before...

... That's not what both of you should be concern about! Don't make me out to be some kind of monster--And stop giving me weird nicknames, too!
