One Diamond [Video]

[It isn't smooth - the feed comes on to a few seconds of audio, and a voice saying "Oh, thank you very much, Tentomon!" followed in a few beats by a mutter in a tone, if nothing else, that would seem to say "Whoops", before it switches to video.

Once it does, the face of a very fetching woman is onscreen - long, styled, wavy purple hair, blue eyes, and a spiraling white unicorn horn rising out of her forehead.

She bats her eyes and flashes a smile, and speaks - there's a tired edge to her voice under its buoyancy.]

Hello~o, everypony - or, mm-hm, rather, everyone.

I'm Rarity - and my new friend Tentomon and I will be staying in suite F1 003. I would be absolutely thankful to make acquaintances now with my other future roommates!

...And I should say I'd be charmed to meet the rest of us "Chosen Children" as well for as long as I'll be forced to stay here.

Do give me a call. Thank you.

[Her brows arch and air just begins loosing from her nose for a sigh before she presses the button to end the recording.]

Wow...that was intro was off the cuff? Classy.

Well, it's always important to put your best [Moment's halt.] hand forward, is it not?

Foot.

Foot. Forward.

Err...yeah that's what they say.

So the horn...are you an Oni or...what exactly?

[Because she doesn't dare dream that she might be meeting a real live unicorn]

Am I what?

If you don't know you probably aren't a beautiful demon of Japanese folklore.

-- I beg your pardon, a demon? I should say not! Do I look "demonic" to you? [She would be far more offended even so if it wasn't for the fact that this girl had specifically said a "beautiful" demon!]

I'm really a unicorn - I assumed from chatting with my new friend that I'm not nearly the only "Chosen One" who wasn't shaped a thing like this before I was taken here!

Unicorn.

That's what she said.

[It's like there's a little girl inside Jinx screaming with glee]

Sure, Fluttershy used to be a Pegasus before she got here. She's a sweetheart either way.

You know Fluttershy? I've just been given word that she's here as well! A sweetheart she certainly is!

We've had lunch. Your world sounds fascinating~

Are...are you blushing?!

[she frowns and seats her partner away]

I'm Jinx. Pleased to meet you.

[You know, unicorns are a thing in the sweeter part of lolita, and that horn and her hair? Hibiki approves.]

You have great taste in style. I love your hair.

[A beat.]

Oh. My name is Hibiki Kuze. It's nice to meet you.

Ohh, do you~? That's very kind of you! [Her voice lightens up a tad, and she grins and bounces the curl at the end of long bangs.] I run a clothing boutique where I'm from that had better be in the state I left it in whenever it is I'm finally shown the way home - I could hardly have gotten where I am today were I not an expert on the subject of style.

The pleasure is all mine, dear.

You own your own business? That's really impressive.

[Especially because she doesn't look that much older than him.]

Do you design the clothes too?

That I do! I design, plan, assemble, and sell both as I'm inspired and I do custom designs, tailored to the client's preferences and the essence of their personality! I can proudly say to you that my little business has garnered quite the reputation - Equestria-wide celebrities have come to me with their trust in my most fashionable hooves!

Bu~ut, that's back home... [Sigh and sag.] It'll be ages before I can sew a simple cape with no magic and these -- fingers. [She lifts a hand and watches herself wiggle them.] How do apes manage with these clumsy little things?

Wow. That's amazing!

[He might seem a little starstruck, but hey, he's never met a real designer before. That's cool.]

Wait. What did you have before?

[She mentioned hooves, but he thought it was a figure of speech.]

[Everypony? Well gee, that's exactly what Fluttershy said she was. ...Except she didn't have a horn slapped onto her forehead.

Weird.]

You wouldn't happen to have wings too, would you?

I wouldn't. What makes you think I would?

[...Her horn, maybe?]

Oh my gosh - you wouldn't have happened to have seen someone else with a horn on her head, now, would you? A matching pair of wings, bright pink streaks in her hair... would that ring any bells?

Edited 2013-06-04 22:40 (UTC)

[Well, that certainly wasn't what she was expecting.]

Can't say that it does. I do know someone else who calls herself a pony, though. Just had the wings. Appropriately calls herself Fluttershy.

The wings and the horns. ...This isn't some sort of mix-and-match species thing, is it?

Fluttershy? Fluttershy, with pink hair, yellow feathers, and a sweet, gentle little voice?

That Fluttershy?

She's one of my dearest friends! Why - where in the world is she? Is she all right? She detests being surrounded by hordes of strangers and this is an entirely new and positively metropolitan city! Unless she's made fast friends with her Digimon guide in which case I suppose that she would make do...

Ah - I do beg your pardon, to answer your question, no, no, we're all ponies! Earth ponies, unicorn ponies, and Pegasus ponies to be precise. I'm a unicorn, and Fluttershy is a Pegasus. But ponies of royalty have both unicorn horns and wings. One of Equestria's princesses is another close personal friend of ours - Princess Twilight Sparkle! ...Is her name.

But back to the vital matter at hand! How pray tell is Fluttershy?

[It's easy for anyone to tell by her expression that Arcee isn't used to so much talking all at once. Not that it's a problem, in fact it's perfectly reasonable given this woman is worried about her friend, it's just...surprising.

Once she shakes off that bit of shock, she tries to sound reassuring.]

She's fine. In fact, she's been handling herself a lot better than some of the other people around here.

Oh! Well. That's a relief.

[You don't say!]

Would you happen to know where I might run into her? I'd like to see for myself!

No idea.

[She doesn't even know what room she's staying in...]

You could always try giving her a private call. I'm sure your digithing can set it up for you.

...everypony?

Are you a pony back home, too? I know someone else like that.

Edited 2013-06-05 00:28 (UTC)

Yes, I am~! A unicorn pony, to be exact.

You've met my friend Fluttershy, I expect? I've been told that she's here, too, but I've still seen neither hide nor hair of her, myself!

Edited 2013-06-05 07:08 (UTC)

Yeah, she's around.

She's really cool, too! I hope you find each other soon... I'll definitely let her know you're here.

Greetings Rarity and Tentomon. I am Kaldur and my partner is Gizamon [He pauses and looks down before shaking his head.] although she is currently sleeping.

I believe your room assignment will make us floor mates as I reside in room 007, just down the hall. I know that adjusting can be difficult to strange environments...especially since it sounds as though you are another of those whose form has changed upon arrival.

Are you doing all right?

[That is the most formal greeting she's gotten, and it's somehow reassuring.] Kaldur. Charmed - to be sure.

And how decent of you to ask! I... Well, I suppose I'll manage the change in shape and whatnot, but would you happen to have spotted a girl named Fluttershy anywhere? Long pink hair, yellow feathers, very demure. She's a friend of mine -- I've heard that she's around, too, but nobody's yet given me a clue as to where!

I have met Fluttershy. [He smiles. He might not have spoken with the shy girl as much as he would have liked, but she was kind enough and they had spoken a few times in the past. He nods.]

I am not sure what room she is in, however I believe I have seen her going up to the second floor. I would check there first. Her partner is a Lopmon, although I suppose that might not be as much help. Lopmon is a brown, rabbit-type digimon.

[ There's a young boy with cat ears and a Terriermon lounging against him on the video feed — the camera is actually more angled toward Terriermon thanks to the digimon being the only one who knows how to work the D-Terminal. Sissel peers at his own screen for a moment before he speaks. ]

Hello, Rarity. If I had to wager a guess... you weren't a regular human before you got here either, were you?

[An endearing sight!]

Hello to you.

Your guess is correct; in fact I wasn't a human at all.

And I was always partial to cats -- no offense meant to your friend there!

Your ears are catlike - are they not?

[ His tail twitches into sight to confirm. ]

You've got it in one. I'm afraid I can't tell where your horn comes from, though. Not a rhinoceros, I bet...

Oh, yeah, that's my suite. Name's Mondo Oowada. Nice to meet you. Terra's our other roommate. If I see her around, I'll tell her to say hi.

[Sudden element of light ambivalence. She ought to have supposed that in the mix of other humans she's seen, she could have expected to share a room with most any kind, but what to make of this - adolescent boy, isn't he? And what mane on him.

Her tone is still quite pleasant.]

Yes... It's nice to meet you, too, and - if you please, do.

How might I know her if I spot her? I'd most like to be able to say hello myself, should I get the chance!

Oh, hi, Rarity! Guilmon isn't a rooommate or a Tamer, but it's still nice to meet you!

But how come you said everypony? Guilmon's never heard anyone say that before...

Oh! A Digimon, are you?

[And a sweet one - and he looks a bit like a young dragon!]

I'm from Equestria. It's a kingdom of ponies - most of us say that there! Everypony, anypony, somepony. It makes perfect sense far more often than not!

Mhm! Guilmon is Guilmon.

[He giggles. He doesn't know much about ponies, but she seems pretty nice! Why complain?]

So you're from a world with lots of ponies? Are there humans there, too?

[Or maybe it's like the Digital World....]

[The human form might be a little different, but the pink hair and bright blue eyes might be familiar.]

Rarity...! I can't believe you're here!

[Quite familiar.

Rarity is instantly overjoyed.]

Fluttershy! There you are! Oh, I'm so glad to see you! ...Even if you don't, exactly, look quite yourself.

How are you? Many of these people told me you know them, and that you seemed quite all right, but what a circumstance this is!

[She blushes a little, her wings fluttering a bit nervously behind her.] O-oh, well I...I guess I...have met a lot of people here...

But it's so good to see you, Rarity! Are you all right? I know the...trip here can kind of take a lot out of you...

[Or do a lot to you...]

[Ping.] F1 003? That's...that's my room! So you're the new roommate. Hey, I'm Terra, nice to meet you. [Small stare. "Everypony" huh.]

Yes~ [What was that boy's name...] "Mondo Oowada" did mention you. Nice to meet you, too!

Hope you don't mind me asking... [Between the horn, and the speech...] You were a pony, weren't you? You kinda talk like Fluttershy.

I do? - Oh. ["Everypony," of course!]

I certainly am a pony -- and you must be another of Fluttershy's friends! She seems to be quite popular in this city. How marvelous for her!

[A tiny laugh.] Well, of course she is. She's real sweet. Everyone loves her.
