[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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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.]

[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.

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

[Sakura is about to say that she was thinking more along the lines of training by herself, but then Dorumon butts in again.]

Hey, yeah! We have to train so I can digivolve, right? Sakura's pretty strong already, so I bet she can teach me some stuff.

...well, I am not sure how much I can teach a Digimon, but I am sure we can find a way to get stronger together.

You must do a lot of training back home, huh?

I train daily. I find I get rather...agitated if I do not find a sufficient way to exercise.

I'd imagine there's some way to do it here. I'm not sure how, but it's hard to imagine it'd be impossible.

If I can at least find a sledgehammer and an old tire, I will not complain. [...yeah.]

...That's oddly specific.

It is one of my most often used training techniques. I hope I can still practice it, since I have gone for a while without being able to train properly.

I'll, uh...keep an eye out for anything like that?

I realize you must think that to be strange, but I appreciate it all the same.

Yeah, maybe I can try it, too!

I'm pretty sure I've heard stranger, believe me.

[At least you're not declaring you want a fighter jet.]

...You know, this is going to sound crazy, but if you do find that stuff, do you mind if I watched how you trained with them? I-I'm just a little curious, that's all.

[totally curious. totally not just missing his almost equally gigantic bff]

You are quite welcome to. If you are ever willing to take part, you are welcome to that as well.

O-oh, I don't--

[He waved a hand quickly, as if trying to dismiss the idea.]

I'm really not, uh...built for that kind of thing at all.

It is true, you are not. [Sakura regards him with an appraising eye.] But it is not too late to change that.

[are you kidding, he's the second coming of chihiro but in pants]

I r-really don't know about that. I've never really tried any kind of physical training.

[Hey, she asked Chihiro too. She's not picky.]

No? Well, my offer still stands, should you ever be interested.

Yeah, just don't steal any of our secret techniques, okay?

[One might be able to see what looks like a plantlike arm slapping Waver in the shoulder.]

Ow--! I-I mean...I guess it wouldn't hurt to at least watch.

Then once I find a way for Dorumon and I to train, I shall let you know.

Okay, I guess Palmon and I will be there whenever you do.

[whyyyy meeeeee]

[Because you expressed interest, Waver. You can't go back.]

Perhaps your Digimon friend will benefit from it as well.
