[The video switches on, and Mami takes a moment to adjust the feed so that it's centered before she gives the camera a polite smile. If you hadn't run into her when she first arrived, you'd never know she had been having something of an emotional breakdown just a few days ago- rather, Mami is (at least appearances-wise) calm and poised... though if anyone pays close enough attention, her smile might be a tiny bit forced. With her is a Salamon, who seems to be happy that her Chosen partner is adjusting so well!

Oh, if only she knew.]

Hello! I arrived a few days ago, but I'm only just now introducing myself; I'll admit to having been somewhat distracted getting settled in. My name is Mami Tomoe, a third year middle school student from Mitakihara- I hope that I can become properly acquainted with at least some of you.

Miss Mami is really nice and friendly! Though... she's kind of lonely.

-- Ah, Salamon, that's enough. In any case, I'd like to know if there might be somewhere I could purchase tea...? ... And somewhere to brew it, perhaps, as well- I've realized the apartments have no individual kitchens of their own, which is something of a shame, I'll admit; I enjoy baking!

[Oh look, a boy only a little bit older than Mami]

Got an electric kettle if you got an outlet.

[but is he a meguca]

I do, actually! It's in my room, though I'll admit I found it a bit amusing, as it seems the devices we were given never need charging.

[scratchitti]

Yeah, the D-Terminal is kinda... weird compared to everything else in the city.

I can drop it off once you have tea to brew in it. There's shops around here, but be careful- the digimon have weird tastes in food sometimes.

[changelingdude]

Dude! We know this great little shop for tea. They've got cakes too! I could totally go for some little lemon cakes right now...

The Hinata Teahouse is near the park if you know where that is?

We could just show her! Then I can get more of those little cakes~

[candeloro]

There's a teahouse here? [She hadn't paid much attention to her surroundings when she arrived, having been coming to terms with other things.]

Unfortunately, I don't know where the park is, so if you could show me, it would be very appreciated.

[Video] > [Action]

[changelingdude]

You got it Mami, just tell us where to pick you up!

We're always happy to help new chosen find their way around town.

[velveteenmage]

It really is a shame. I can't cook at all, but I kind of miss making my own tea properly.

[DID WE MENTION HE'S BRITISH, FOLKS]

[candeloro]

It really is! I suppose I'll have to get used to it, though.

[velveteenmage]

Well, I'm sure there's some kind of cafe around here at least.

Uh...listen, I don't want to pry into anything that's not my business, but are you doing alright now?

[acceptedburden]

The kitchens are free for anyone to use, although they are communal so if it is something you wish to keep for yourself I would recommend storing it in your personal quarters.

[Kaldur had adjusted to such living before though, living in the mountain base back home. Plus, he knew how quickly food could disappear with Wally and it was even worse with Digimon. They were like Wally times 10.]

My name is Kaldur'ahm and this is my parter, Gizamon.

Yo. I go by Sedna.

Tea can be purchased at the General Store for sure, although there is perhaps a shop that specializes in it around. I have not looked.

[candeloro]

I see- I'll keep that in mind! Though, I don't really mind sharing with others; I always end up baking too much, so having someone to share with so it doesn't all go bad is always nice.

[Okay, she purposely makes too much most of the time- she likes having company over.]

It's nice to meet both of you! And that's alright, I'm sure someone else knows; if not, well, Salamon and I can go searching.

[acceptedburden]

Are you used to cooking for a lot of people?

[Or perhaps she had a friend that ate a lot...though that wouldn't allow for a lot of extras. They hardly ever had leftovers back home for that very reason. Wally never left much behind in the ways of food.]

Do you take requests?

Sedna.

What? If she bakes a lot I want in on this!

[video;]

[myfedorarocks]

They've got some good tea for sale in the shopping mall.

[He pats at the digimon by his side.]

The name's William Flemming and this is my partner, Kokuwamon.

[The digimon waves one pronged hand shyly, but doesn't speak.]

[video;]

[candeloro]

Do they? I'll have to check it out, then.

[She smiles reassuringly at Kokuwamon when he doesn't speak, before turning her attention back to William.]

It's nice to meet you, Flemming-san -ah... I'm not too terribly sure as to the naming order around here.

[video;]

[myfedorarocks]

[Completely different personality, but Mami doesn't look like she's much older than Flemming's daughter.

He smiles.]

Flemming's fine. It's my surname, but it was what most people refer to me as anyway.

[voice]

[greatwork]

Eh, once you get a Crest, you can move out to a place with a decent kitchen. Until then, you can make do with takeout.

[video] > [voice]

[candeloro]

I see. Well, that's alright! I don't mind too much- takeout is fine for now.

[video]

[jackoclubs]

At least there are communal kitchens, right? You can still bake, just not in the privacy of your own apartment.

[Lifts a hand in a two-fingered wave, pulling up a grin for her]

So you're a new arrival too, huh?

[video]

[candeloro]

Yes, that's right. And you as well, then?

Video

[bigsoftie]

[Oh no, he likes baking too. This big kid wants in.]

Making food is one of my favorite things.

Video

[candeloro]

Is it now? Perhaps you'd like to join me sometime, then! I've heard that I can use the communal kitchen for cooking if I'd like.

[Video]

[notmyprophecy]

[It's possible Mami's seen the young woman with cat ears and a tail around, since they're in the same apartment. Hopefully the scarred face isn't too off-putting.]

Baking. I've heard so many talk about baking, what is baking.

[Video]

[candeloro]

[It probably is cause for concern, but Mami fights Eldritch Abominations on a daily basis- or did, anyway, so she's seen a lot to where a scarred face isn't really anything but a minor concern.]

Hm? Baking is a method of cooking, usually involving an oven these days- though some might prefer to use the old-fashioned method of using hot stones or ashes. Commonly, it's used to bake bread, but it's also used to make cakes, cookies, pies... well- a lot of things, really!

[video]

[woodenstarfish]

[Fuko may be older, but she certainly doesn't look like it. Especially compared to this girl here. She actually fidgets a little, shyly nervous but she's determined to find out one important thing.]

Can you make bread?

[video]

[candeloro]

Yes I can. Though might I ask if you're looking for a certain kind of bread?
