*first pill* video;

[doctorwinner]

[The video comes on to the face of a young woman in her late twenties/early thirties with bright blue eyes and dark blonde hair. To anyone who knows Quatre, she might actually look a tiny bit familiar, but it’s sort of a ‘blink and you miss it’ familiarity.

She’s staring at the video feed curiously, looking up and down several times as she presses buttons on the comm, testing things out. Amazingly it only takes her a second to realize it’s recording, and she smiles somewhat sheepishly before setting it down, getting a Dorumon in the screen. He looks bored. Very bored. He’s just fiddling with his Rise Bracer.]

So this is recording to the network, correct?

[If she’s asking her digimon, he doesn’t answer, and she seems to assume that’s the case.]

I’m Dr. Irea Winner. I’ve just arrived here, and I was hoping for some assistance. My Dorumon partner has explained quite a bit to me but he mentioned... needing a place to live... I still think you need a name I can call you by...

Yeah, well, that’s not my problem.

Mnn... but it is a problem... so... Ah, I know! Tenyen.

... Tenyen?

Yes.

[Irea smiles brightly, looking perfectly content with this. “Tenyen” blinks, stares, then shrugs and goes back to fiddling with his Rise Bracer. Irea turns back to her video.]

Anyway, as I was saying, any help finding a place to live or even stay for the night would be very welcome. Thank you.

Yes. He's here. Not really sure where he's at--

Aah? Hey now! He's just fine. He's been here quite a while.

It's all some kind of time... timey... time thing.

Look, I don't get quantum physics. It just sorta happens that way. He's fine.

[doctorwinner]

... a... while?

[Well, she's sitting now at least. That kind of took the wind out of her sails, so to speak.]

[colonyblackbird]

Longer than I've been here. Four, five months?

Long enough to get to know em a bit.

My son's here too but he's grown, back home he was three so see? It's kind of a mess, time wise.

[doctorwinner]

I... see...

[oh, all the confusion.]

Ah. Just a moment.

[The feed cuts out for a moment, but she comes back quickly]

Quatre found me. I'm going to meet him at a

[colonyblackbird]

At a what?

[doctorwinner]

[The comm comes back on again about two, three minutes later, and Tenyen is laughing hysterically while Irea looks a bit put off.]

Oh come on, it was funny!

I turned it off on accident!

And then couldn't turn it on for five minutes!

[Irea sighs and shakes her head at her partner, looking back at the screen finally.]

Sorry... I hit a button on accident. Anyway, I'm meeting him at a cafe near us.

[colonyblackbird]

It happens to me too, no worries.

You shoulda seen me trying to figure out the storage system.

[doctorwinner]

Storage system?

[colonyblackbird]

It's on your D-comm. I have steak from February, still fresh as the day I got it on here and I cannot get it off.

Duo told me I gotta figure it out for myself.

[doctorwinner]

... that doesn't seem possible.

[colonyblackbird]

We're in a digital world, so everything we interact with here, including our food is digital data, right?

So it can be stored. No biggy.

[doctorwinner]

Wow... that's... quite amazing, actually.

[colonyblackbird]

Isn't it? It makes life just a little bit easier, doesn't it? Well, in theory.

I'll figure it eventually-- steak is on the line after all.

[doctorwinner]

[that gets a laugh from her]

Well I suppose steak can be important to some people.
