themainframe | 002- Clothing is Challenging [video]

[Today is Hibiki's first actual broadcast on the network, seeing as how the last one made from this number was by his Floramon. He has his hood up, although not quite covering his eyes the way it sometimes does. The rabbit ears are visible, though. He's sitting on a couch with Floramon sitting next to him, sipping something out of a mug.]

Flora says this network is for other chosen children only, so, hello! My name is Hibiki Kuze. Please treat me kindly.

[He nods his head politely, and Floramon rolls her eyes.]

You don't have to be so formal, master. Aren't you asking them to help you shop for women's clothing?

[Hibiki frowns at her.]

It's not women's clothing.

Yes, yes, it's just 'a more popular aesthetic with girls', whatever you say, Hibiki.

[Hibiki frowns at his partner for another moment before turning back to the camera.]

What she means to say is that I'm into street fashion, and I was wondering if anyone knows any good stores that are still open? I know this is Tokyo, but I've been having trouble finding anything. Let me know.

[He leans forward to turn off the camera.]

... Movies? Really? We only have the comics.

[ ... and the superheroes themselves, Wally. ]

Well, Batman's been on TV for what, 50 years now? They got loads of movies out of this stuff.

Fifty years? And he's still out fighting crime where you're from? I mean, he's Batman so I'm not really that surprised, but dang.

[. . ?]

Well, they change actors all the time!

Well, yeah, but what about the real Batman?

[What.]

There... isn't one. He's a comic book character.

[ Wally gives Hibiki a very incredulous raise of his eyebrow. ]

Uh. Okay. If you say so.

[ He does have that whole ~urban legend~ thing going for him, so... ]
