[The video shoots on suddenly, showing what appears to be a very upset woman. Judging by how the feed bobs up and down and the even more obvious moving scenery, it looks like she's walking around the city while she glares into that feed.

This can only go well.]

Okay, I wanna know who the fraggin' genius was who--

Hey! That is not what we said we were using the D-Terminal for!

[She's cut off by a child-like voice, its friendly tone a huge contrast in comparison to her much more stern one.]

You have to be nice. Here, I'll teach you how! Lemme see that.

You better not--

[But it's too late, the device is snatched from her hands and put in front of a much more happier face. The big, blue eyes of Tapirmon seem to sparkle with delight as he addresses everyone in the city.]

Hi everybody! I'm Tapirmon!

[Seriously, he sounds like he's five.]

My, um, partner needs help. Help with being...um, I know the word... "organic".

[He beams at his ability to remember Arcee's plight. That is, her struggles with suddenly being human. There's no easy way to say it, she's not really sure what to do. ...And it's not like small tapir monsters can help her out.]

Just so we're clear, this thing is not my partner.

[Might as well throw that in. Anyone want it? She can't seem to shake it it.]

[There are a lot of things Hiccup would like to say here, but the first thing that comes out is what he and Gomamon are both curious over.]

....Organic?

[Hiccup leans back a little, appearing to be sitting on a bench somewhere not far from the apartment building near the Terminal. Gomamon is sitting in his lap, holding the communicator in his claws since he wouldn't shut up until Hiccup allowed him to answer one of the videos at least once.
And there sure have been a lot of them lately, so might as well get to know people.

Gomamon purses his lips before looking up at Hiccup, the boy just visible above the Digimon's head.]

I'm thinkin' she means somethin' like....bein' a human. Since so many Chosen don't seem to be people in the first place. Boy oh boy you'd think they'd be smart enough to pick just HUMANS but nooo-

[The boy lets out a heavy breath. It's a chore to correct or even scold Gomamon for being blunt anymore, so he just ignores him for now. That and he's exhausted from all the walking he's done today.]

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[Tapirmon continues to carry the Terminal as they walk, if only because Arcee doesn't want to wrestle it from him. As such, her commentaries are heard from the background.]

You'd think.

[She continues to look around the city for anything remotely helpful, avoiding looking at her own reflection in the many building's windows in the process. This was...beyond embarrassing.

Still...it's been a long time since she's been in a city she actually fits in. What an almost surreal feeling, it was like she was becoming accustomed to being a giant.

Tapirmon, on the other hand, continues to be delighted by his use of the D-Terminal, even more so now that they got an answer.]

Yeah, she was metal!

[Just to exaggerate his point, he clanks his own metal mask with one of those tapir-stump arms. Yes, he fully expects everyone to know what being metal is.]

[Video]

[trainsurdragons]

She was...metal.

[That's more of a deadpan statement than a question, because Hiccup doesn't at all understand. How could he, when he doesn't know what the heck a robot is? Either way, someone's going to have to explain or he'll just continue being clueless.

Meanwhile, Gomamon makes a face, huffing.]

How come your partner will let you use the D-Terminal? ...Hic barely lets me TOUCH ours.

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[You poor, clueless child.

Arcee takes the Terminal back from her cutesy little monster thing. Gomamon makes a great point, why SHOULD she let Tapirmon touch her things?]

Awww...

Look, I shouldn't even be talking about this, but I don't have much of a choice. Let's just skip the scrap and say I'm a giant robot.

[That's what humans normally describe them as. (Although she doesn't think she's giant, you people are just too small) You've watched TV before, right Hiccup?

...Right?]

[Video]

[trainsurdragons]

[Well. ..Unfortunately for you Arcee, you happen to be talking to a kid that is from way before the times of TV and well....any basic technology past swords and catapults. So the look of confusion on his face doesn't change whatsoever, until Gomamon rolls his eyes and speaks up.]

A robot is a big metal person, sorta. ...Like how your leg is metal too, but like- ..the whole guy.

[The Digimon perks when he looks back over and finally catches a good look of Arcee. A small smile crosses his face. ...More of a smirk, really.]

You're gonna hafta excuse my partner here. He's from the stone-age, basically.

...I am not.

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[WONDERFUL.]

Of course he is. Perfect.

[Because she doesn't feel like an idiot now. At least Gomamon was able to simplify it for her. There was a good chance she would've lost it if he hadn't.]

Well there's your rundown, kiddo. Not exactly thrilled with the change.

[Video]

[trainsurdragons]

I-...don't listen to him!! I'm not, I just....don't have anything like this back home.

Y'see? Stone Age.

[Hiccup groans and pushes Gomamon away from the screen, causing him to let out a grunt of surprise.]

..You're not the only one who changed when they got here, at least. ...If it helps, I'm not too happy about being here either.

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

Unless you're one of those people, no, it doesn't.

[THE URGE TO RIP HERSELF OUT OF HER OWN BODY IS EXTREMELY STRONG. Don't even try to compare unhappiness, kid.]

So how long have you been here? If you really want to help, I could use someone to fill me in on the do's and don'ts.

[changelingdude]

Organic? Dude organic is great! It's not as good as junk food but it's really healthy for you! I have some great organic recipes I can give you!

[robotfightclub]

[There isn't an answer from Arcee at first, or at least not an audible one. She is, in fact, rolling her eyes pretty hard.

The silence is cut by Tapirmon, who laughs rather loudly at the response.]

Hahahaha!! He thinks you're a FOOD!!

[changelingdude]

Pfft No I don't dude! I just figured ya know...if you guys are interested in going Organic I can lend my expert opinion!

[robotfightclub]

[Arcee shoves Tapirmon out of the way, grabbing the Terminal just so she can set things straight and avoid more Tapirmon-related BS.]

I'm not talking about food. I'm talking about how some of us weren't exactly human before being dumped here. You'll have to save your 'expert opinions' for someone else.

[changelingdude]

OH! I get it now. Were you a pony too? We have a girl here who used to be a Pegasus.

[robotfightclub]

[Tapirmon is laughing hysterically in the background. The idea of Arcee as some sort of pony is just too much for him.

Arcee, however, is not as amused.]

Yup. You got it. Because ponies are definitely not organic.

[changelingdude]

Oh...yeah I guess that wouldn't make sense...unless it was a car! Because you know...horsepower.

[robotfightclub]

[What kind of car is also a pony--Never mind.

There's a very tired sigh.]

Close enough.

[Video]

[plays_it_loud]

[Okay, THIS catches Forte's eye. Have a black-haired teenager with interesting facial markings eying the camera warily.]

"Organic?" What'd that make her before?

[Another voice from off-camera, slightly deeper, abruptly cuts in.]

Processed! Bahahahahaha!

Shut UP you stupid bat!

[Forte whirls on the Digimon, and the tip of Tsukaimon's wing can be seen as he flutters around just out of the boy's reach.]

I've been promoted from "hamster" to "bat" now? Aww Forte, you really DO care!

Rrrrrgh...

[Yeah, join the annoying partners club, Arcee.]

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[Arcee does not envy him one bit, she's not sure what she'd do with a smack talking monster thing. Maybe throw it...

Still, she doesn't actually address Forte just yet. Mostly because it's Tapirmon who still holds the Terminal.]

Yeah, this was a great idea. This whole city is one big chuckle fest.

[One could almost hear the sneer in her voice. Tapirmon, on the other hand, doesn't seem that bothered and continues to smile. He decides it's up to him to actually answer Forte's question.]

I think organic means the opposite of metal. [lightbulb] That must mean I'm half organic! We really are good partners!

[Arcee's pinching the bridge of her nose at this point. It hasn't even been a day and she's already putting it to use. This must be why humans have noses.]

[Video]

[plays_it_loud]

[Forte is thiiiiis close to throwing Tsukaimon across the street, that's for sure. It's just unfortunate that he's a flying Digimon, so it probably wouldn't work very well.

Instead he scowls at Tapirmon, not amused by the cutesy answer.]

Hey rat-thing, let the lady answer, wouldja? I'm trying to figure out if I'm the only one who's supposed to be a friggin' robot here!

[Tsukaimon drapes himself over the arm Forte's holding the terminal with, crowding his face into the video feed.]

Yeah, show us the lady again! I didn't get a good enough look~

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[Yeah, Arcee's kind of done with the cutesy act, too. In fact, upon hearing Forte say 'robot', she's pretty much shoving him out of the way and grabbing the Terminal from him. There's nothing nice about it, and there are, of course, sad little outcries of "Hey!" in the background. But whatever, she doesn't care, there's important business going on now. Finally it seems like she's getting somewhere.

Aaaand just going to...ignore Tsukaimon...]

Okay, you got my attention. What kind of robot are we talking about here?

I'm not a raaaat!!

[Video]

[plays_it_loud]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey ther- awk!

[That would be Forte shoving Tsukaimon out of the way so he can hog the camera himself, giving Arcee a cocky grin.]

A combat model, Special Wily Number 001, Forte! And I'm the ONLY one in that line, you'd better frickin' remember it! Not like the old man could ever build something better than me anyway!

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[Arcee doesn't seem very impressed, in fact she looks rather frustrated. "Build"? He was built? Just perfect.]

Great, I'm talking to a toy.

[Although she wasn't really sure what she was expecting anyway, he didn't sound like anyone she was familiar with.]

At least it's a start. How long have you been here?

[Video]

[plays_it_loud]

[Sorry Arcee, were you looking for more information? He didn't hear your question over his getting hot under the collar.]

TOY!? I'm not some stupid TOY! I'm the strongest robot ever made where I'm from, bar NONE! Anything outside of me and Gospel belongs in a scrap heap! I'd prove it too if this dumbass place didn't screw everything up!

[video]

[pegasusonearth]

Is anyone even organtic here though? I mean if everything is digital...

[ Thinking about this though... is kinda giving him a headache. ]

[video]

[robotfightclub]

[Yeah, that's not really something she wants to think about. This is hard enough as it is.]

Look, I'm not really in the mood for nitpicking. It's organic enough for me.

[Tapirmon, who still holds onto the Terminal, frowns for once.]

It's a REEEEAAALLY big change.
