[There's a gray haired young man on the screen! Yay for more newbies. He is sitting down outside the apartment building, an Elecmon curled in his lap. The rabbit-frog-bird thing is making a dull buzzing noise like powerlines, his fan-tail sparkling. Almost like he's purring. Yu bows slightly at the camera]

It's nice to meet you all, thank you for having me. My name is Yu Narukami. Please take care of me while I adjust to all of this.

[HOW ARE YOU SO CALM YU. Well taking the time to read the letter and chat with his new partner has answered a lot of his questions- and if any of his friends are here they will see this, so no need to bellow about it. No reason to be rude, right? He sits back up, and as if feeling the shift Elecmon rolls over onto his back, showing his white belly, which Yu starts petting]

My new friend here said his name is Elecmon, but after looking around I think this might be a species name. I asked if he was alright with a nickname and he doesn't seem to really care either way. Is that a common thing here? I don't want to give him a name and make him uncomfortable with his own kind.

[Elecmon peeks an eye open, seeming to finally notice he's on camera. He rolls over, ears drooping as he slinks away.]

Ah, don't be shy...

[Well golly, Sprocket's favorite topic just so happens to be Digimon nicknames. He answers this video eagerly.]

People name their Digimon aaaaaall the time! In fact, my partner's favorite name for me is "NO STOP THAT WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU".

And "Sprocket".

[Yu hides an amused smile behind his hand.]

Sprocket is a cute name.

[Oh, he looks like a Tapir, and with the smokey legs... based on what mon's he's met so far-]

Let me guess, hmm... Dreammon? Or maybe just Tapirmon?

[Oh oh, digimon nicknames! Boulder perks up.]

I do not think you will offend him. Partners give us names all the time.

That's good to know. I'm a fish out of water here, so I didn't want to assume anything.

Close, it's Tapir-- [wait]

[wait]

[His eyes seem to double in size before they shrink back down and narrow at Yu suspiciously.]

Who told you?!

I've heard of a few people that give their partners nicknames. It kind of strikes me as a little strange, but then again so does changing their name with every form they have.

[Then again (again), everything was pretty strange about them.]

Wait, did you just get here? And you're this calm about it?

I knew because-

[He leans forward, as if to tell a secret]

I'm psychic.

This... isn't the first time I've had to deal with a little weirdness. That's all. Panicking won't help anything.

I can definitely agree with you there, on both counts. Still, most people tend to at least be surprised by the whole thing.

[You certainly are calm, sir! This Gazimon's kind of impressed at your composure, since she can only assume you've just arrived.]

Wow, you're taking this way better than my partner did. He punched a wall when he found out...

..

Oh yeah, nicknaming actually helps a lot here! Because like, you never know just how many of 'Elecmon' or 'Gazimon' there are here so it really helps if you just pick something that's special to your partner and--you know-- avoid the confusion and I mean it makes the friendship more personable and you really feel that CONNECTION--

[She clears her throat. Before she spews a proverbial text wall.]

Whatever it is, it's probably better than what my partner named me.

[Thankfully, Wheeljack's busy doing something else right now.]

Oh trust me, I was surprised. I just waited before getting online with it.

[Sprocket takes a moment to let that soak in.]

That's AMAZING!!

That's probably the most sense I've heard out of anyone since I got here.

[Common sense really shouldn't impress him this much. But it's hard when one usually deals with Rin 'I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and I'm off my rocker' Tousaka.]

It's a very useful skill.

[he rubs the back of his neck a little, somewhat embarrassed]

If I hadn't already dealt with monsters and other worlds I'd probably be more of a wreak, honestly.

[Liar, you were still cool as a cucumber in canon you weird a-hole]

Makes sense...

Would you prefer I not use your nickname?

Yeah, tell me about it.

[Taking that completely in stride. Yep. Didn't even blink.]

This place is a little out of the ordinary, but considering my 'ordinary' was already a little out there to begin with, it's not so difficult.

[Oh Yu, you're going to love this.]

Oh, no, it's okay. I'm actually pretty used to it.

Just call me You.

Must be new, huh? You are taking it well.

I'm Boulder by the way.

[His eyes sparkle with curiosity. Having just discovered other Persona users and sentient robots he's all curious about other exotic abilities and worlds outside his own]

Is that common here? People who have seen strange things?

Yu?

[Deadpan:] My roommate is apparently a cat.

[Read: yes.]

I think it just depends on what your perspective on 'strange' is.

I'm sure it'll hit me more later.

And it's nice to meet you Boulder.

Yep. Just You.

Not the most creative name, but it's mine and--

Wait... Isn't your name--?

[If his eyes were bright earlier, they are now on fire. He puts his fingers up, miming ears on his head]

Like... cat-cat?
