First Verse : Video

[wall_flower]

This...is nothing like Lima.

[Despite the fact that she's not at home, Marley's actually looking rather upbeat about it. There's a friendly smile on her lips as she looks down at her D-Terminal.]

It's not a bad thing! It's just--It's different than home. But the little creatures are so adorable, and they're all being so nice!

You're nice, too, Marley! [Everyone, please direct your attention to the little Native American bird hovering just over Marley's shoulder. Marley laughs nervously as she leans her head just enough to bump against Hawkmon's.]

Aww, thanks Hawkmon. See what I mean? So nice!

[Hawkmon all but perches on her shoulder, though it doesn't seem to bother her. She's still all smiles.]

Oh, we saw the Statue of Liberty here! Can you believe it?! I know this isn't New York or anything close to it, but just seeing it reminds me of home. Or rather something that happened at home.

Oh? I didn't think a statue would be so important to you.

Yeah, it reminds me of my audition for the glee club at my high school. The show choir. I sang "New York State of Mind".

You can sing? Will you sing now?

[Marley's eyes glance to the D-Terminal as her smile falters before they focus on Hawkmon.]

I...I don't think anyone is going to want to hear me sing. Maybe another time? I'll sing just for you when we find our room.

Fourth room on the second floor, right?

That's what it says. It shouldn't be too much farther.

[Marley waves to the screen, once more smiling brightly before she cuts off the feed.]

Comments

of course.

[dressup]

Oh, we pick them out. I picked the last one on the right, so the other two rooms are still free.

I hope they will show up or it will be just us two for now.

[wall_flower]

I'm sure they will! Should I...wait until they show up and let them choose which one they'd rather have?

[She's suddenly unsure if she should have come to the apartment at all. The little girl in front of her makes her so self-conscious about her own clothes, and just the thought of possibly taking something that another person would want more than her...

She slowly wraps her arms around herself and worries her bottom lip between her teeth.]

I-I think I'll wait.

[dressup]

[She may be a naive girl, but she can tell a worried face when she sees one. She looks down on Dorumon, who looks right back up to her in a stern gaze. Looks like she has to take care of this on her own.]

Um... Are you alright? You seem very worried about something.

[wall_flower]

[What is she suppose to say? That she's afraid she won't fit in? That she doesn't want to disappoint anyone here? All of her fears? No, she won't bother this small child with her problems, so she will smile and shake her head slowly.]

I'll be okay. I just want to make sure that our new roommate will be comfortable. I'll wait until they show up before I take a room.

[dressup]

[She will accept the answer, even if it might bug her just a little. They just met, it's not ready for either of them to talk personal with each other yet.]

Okay, if that's what you want...

[Dorumon coughs, trying to prevent any awkward silence.]

Elizabeth. Didn't you say you want to explore?

Oh, right!

...Marley, Hawkmon, would you like to join us?

[wall_flower]

I...I think I will stay here and take a little nap.

[She shifts her weight between her feet as Hawkmon settles down on the back of the couch. He looks a little worried, but he doesn't say anything.]

I'm sorry.
