1st Punch [Video]

[superfighter]

[If you're looking at the feed, you might see a Dorumon sniffing curiously at the camera. It seems as though he managed to turn it on somehow.]

Huh? Is this thing on? [He turns to talk to someone offscreen.] Hey, Sakura, I think I got this to work! You're supposed to use this to talk to other people, right? Go and say something!

Oh? Very well then, Dorumon. [The camera then turns to a girl, though at first you may mistake her for a man; most girls aren't as muscular as she is, nor do most girls have scars across their face and on their shoulder. For a moment she simply looks out at whoever might be watching--and the look on her face is rather intimidating, intentional or not--before speaking.]

Greetings. My name is Sakura Oogami. It seems that like many others, I have been brought to this place without warning. [Especially since...well...she'd been dead.] Though that has happened to me before, I must admit that a place like this is something of an improvement. [Suddenly, she remembers something.] Also, if there is anyone here who was previously at a school called Hope's Peak Academy before arriving here, I would appreciate it if you contacted me.

[Dorumon butts in.] Yeah, yeah! And none of you better think you can take me and Sakura by surprise. Her and me, we're real tough! We'll take you on any day! [He bares his teeth at the camera.]

You must not flaunt the strength you have in such a way, Dorumon. [Despite how Sakura is admonishing Dorumon for boasting, there's still a small hint of amusement in her tone. It seems she's warming up to her partner already.]

Hope's Peak? I've heard that before... I think one of my old roommates was from there, Mondo?

Uh, hi, sorry. I'm Terra.

[Video]

[superfighter]

You have met Oowada, then? Is he still here?

[Video]

[for_granite]

No, sorry, you just missed him. I seem to have bad luck with roommates.

...There's another guy, he's still here. I think Mondo knew him too, Kiyotaka?

[Video]

[superfighter]

Ishimaru...yes, I know him as well. [He was always kind of loud, but it would be nice to see him again, especially after what happened to him.]

So people are able to leave if they wish, or do we depart as suddenly as we arrive?

[lovespinkbirdies]

[Hi there Sakura. Have a little girl staring at you through the D-Terminal. It almost looks like Chika's going to poke the screen or something, before she actually answers.]

Umm... sorry, but that school doesn't sound familiar to me.

[She pauses as something else occurs to her though.]

But this isn't the first time you found yourself in a strange world?

[video]

[superfighter]

Not in a strange world, no. But certainly in a strange place, with few memories of how I arrived there.

[video]

[lovespinkbirdies]

Oh.

[She pauses for a moment.]

... I really think that's close enough not to matter though. I mean, okay, same world but kinda the same situation.

[video]

[velveteenmage]

It's nice to meet you--my name's Waver Velvet. I don't think I've ever heard of Hope's Peak Academy, but you're right in that we're more or less all in the same situation of being pulled here suddenly.

[Not even batting an eye at her appearance. At all.]

[video]

[superfighter]

[Most people at least stare. It's a nice change of pace.]

Well, then...if there is no way to leave voluntarily, then I shall have to make the best of it. I only hope that I can find a way to train.

[video]

[velveteenmage]

I think there might be ways to train with your partner, at least. I'm not really sure yet.

[Instead of a human, it's actually a Dracmon taking over the D-Terminal. Where his partner is, it's a mystery right now.]

Hope's Peak, Hope's Peak...

Keheheh! Dracmon heard that before! So, you are one of the lady's weirdo classmates, right?

[His laughing sounds a little crazy, but he means no harm.]

video

[superfighter]

Hey, watch your mouth! Sakura's not a weirdo!

Hold your tongue, Dorumon. [She turns to Dracmon.] It is quite likely that I am. Who would your partner be?

video

[fibs]

Dracmon ain't talking to you, fuzzball!

From a guy with corn hair to a girl with lots of muscles, it's a weird group Celes comes from! Like, ever notice her giant, removable hair?

[Which he got punished pretty harshly when he stole her hair... Oops.]

Ehh... Dracmon is banned from bothering her quiet time, but since you seem preeeeeetty important, he bets you want to talk to her, right?

[badluckbabe]

You've been spirited away to other worlds before?

[superfighter]

Not to other worlds, but I have woken up in a locked building with no memories of how I arrived there, along with several others. I just find this situation to be similar.

[badluckbabe]

Sounds like my kinda party.

Did someone drug you or something?

[ What an interesting looking lady. There's no mistaking it (Rin's quite familiar with how the chest of a woman should look, just ask poor Hakuno), but the manner she addresses her Digimon partner at the end is what catches her attention. ]

No bragging allowed then? Funny, you seem the type who no one could argue if you were to show off just a little.

video;

[superfighter]

True strength is better shown rather than merely boasted about. It is a lesson I learned a long time ago, and I hope Dorumon will take it to heart as well.

[codes]

Shown huh?

[ Holding up her arm to flex (no surprise that there's only enough muscle there to carry a large rifle). ]

Like the way you look, huh?

[Video]

[then_there_were_none]

Oh--you're really big!

[Says the scrawny barely four-foot tall child.]

I haven't heard of that place before, though. Do you know Meiling?

[All strong people must come from the same place! ...in Flandre's mind, anyway. She's a strange little vampire.]

[Video]

[superfighter]

I am afraid I do not know anyone by that name. [She's pretty used to being around strange-minded people by now...]

[Video]

[then_there_were_none]

Oh.

Are you a gate guard, though? Did bad people try to get past you?

[Flandre mimics clawing at her own arm. Those scars looked like a big youkai's hand had left them there.]

[justicealwayswins]

[Ishimaru stares intently, practically radiating nervous energy, at once relieved to see a familiar face again and distressed at what he has to report.]

Welcome to the Digital World, Oogami! Several of our classmates have also arrived here, however I... regret to inform you that they have vanished recently.

[video]

[superfighter]

Yes, that is what I have been told. [It's still a little jarring, seeing students who she last saw as dead bodies alive and well in front of her.] It is good to see you, Ishimaru.

[video]

[justicealwayswins]

Likewise, I feel fortunate to speak to you; I have been unable to personally contact any classmate who outlived me! Tell me, were you among the group that escaped?
