Access City, soon after arrival

Chris had to say, she wasn't happy with what circumstances she found herself in. Of course she'd said yes to the question that appeared before her—how could she not?! But she hadn't expected to be taken to another world, least of all one with monsters that had a vague at best plan to accomplish their goals.

Still, she couldn't ignore the threat to her home, or the creatures in need in this world. She had to do something.

Right now though? All she could do was sit on a bench in the park, leaning her head on her hands and generally looking sad. Her partner hadn't shown up yet, and she had no idea where to go to end up looking for one. So all she could do is wait..

"The home I fought for..." she said, sadly. "Is it really so far away?"

The Great And Powerful So-And-So

By now, Chris had met her partner, and... well, they were partners. She couldn't say whether they would get along or not, but this Missimon seemed pretty cynical and hard to convince. Nevertheless, Chris knew they had to get to work accomplishing something, so she'd pursued one of those jobs that were on offer.

The one she selected meant walking the streets at night. Apparently something called a "Devimon" was attacking and scaring people. She checked the handbook on her phone, err, "digivice", and gotten some eyewitness testimony, and something immediately felt fishy. Her time in S.O.N.G. had taught her a thing or too, so she was able to get a sense of where the attacks usually occurred, so she started looking there... and it paid off!

"Hold it right there!" Chris announced to a shadowy figure in an alleyway. "Come on out, you pretender!"

Said shadowy figure loomed over her, rickety wings spread against the knight sky and red eyes gleaming like flashlights. It cried out, its voice legion, and demanded: "Who dares disturb Devimon the great and powerful?!"

Missimon shook her head from behind Chris. "This is going to end in disaster," she sighed.

Bwugah...!

[ Dang, Chris really has adapted to be able to avoid her hugs... what's she supposed to do now!? Aside from crashing onto the bench in a fantastic fashion.

Not at all bothered, however, Hibiki shoots up as well. ]

Mm! Yeah! I can't believe you're here too, Chris-chan! Where have you been!? I didn't see you when I got here!

[ She's clearly radiating her usual level of Dummy-Positivity. ]

[trustheart]

[Chris shook her head, leaning forward to help Hibiki steady herself.]

I just got here a few hours ago! Why, how long have you been waiting?!

[determinationtofist]

I got here yesterday! I thought that me and Miku were the only ones here!

[ Nevermind the fact that apparently, despite having apparently answered YES around the same days as each other, Miku ended up here a month before her. ]

But now you're here! I bet that means everyone else will be here soon too!

Oi... who the heck is that?

[ And now Chris should be able to notice Coronamon, finally catching up to Hibiki and speaking up after catching his breath. ]

[trustheart]

[Chris actually gasped.]

Miku is here? But not senpai?! Or Maria, Shirabe, and Kirika?!

[She looked over at Coronamon upon his entry.]

I'd say the same thing about you, buddy! Are you supposed to be Hibiki's whatchacallit... partner?

[determinationtofist]

Mm... and apparently Miku was here for a month before I arrived! It's super confusing!

[ Coronamon puffs out his chest and grins. ]

Yep! I'm Coronamon! The best partner anybody could ask for!

[ Well, he's a better partner now at least now that he's figured out that Hibiki isn't actually a 'pushover' as he called her. She even got him to apologize! ]

[trustheart]

[Chris balked, before turning back towards Hibiki.]

A month?! But I saw you both yesterday! That's impossible!

[Then she turned back towards Coronamon.]

Uh...huh. That's good for you, I guess. My partner hasn't chosen to show themselves yet.

[determinationtofist]

Right!? We were even both at home when I got that question thing!

[ Oh, how distressed she was when she found out... leaving her girlfriend alone for a month! Not that there's anything she could've done, but still! She just... she feels bad! ]

Do you think it's some weird time thing? Like in Master's movies?

[ Mind, Genjuro's movies can get pretty wild, but still. ]

Eh? You haven't found your partner yet?

[trustheart]

[Chris's head was starting to hurt.]

This other dimension stuff is confusing. How the hell do we even know if we're from the same point in time, or even the same universe?!

[At Hibiki's question, she shook her head.]

I haven't...They're supposed to show up, right? I have no idea why they haven-

[Just then, Chris fell forward, letting out a shriek, just as something smacked into the back of her head.]

[determinationtofist]

Eh!? You think we might not even be each other's Hibiki and Chris!? No no no, you're totally my Chris! I'm sure of it!

[ Her non-existent reasoning behind that conclusion doesn't get to be explored, though, as Chris' ability to dodge Hibiki clearly doesn't extend to anything else. ]

Ah! Chris-chan!!

[trustheart]

[Chris stumbles forward, narrowly dodging Hibiki, muttering curses, before straightening up and wheeling around, rubbing the back of her head.]

What in the world?!

[It's there that she sees what hit her: a small, flying, arrow-headed missile-like Digimon.]

Ah...sorry. I can't control myself very well. Anyway, my name is Missimon, and I'm your partner.

[Chris...stared.]

What?

[determinationtofist]

Ah! Look at that, Chris! It's your partner! And it's so cute, too!

[ A cute little missile-shaped Digimon! It's perfect for Chris! She's always using missiles, after all! ]

A Missimon, huh... looks like you've got a handful with ya!

[ Hibiki stares at Coronamon, thinking something along the lines of "look who's talking", but she keeps it to herself. ]

[trustheart]

[Chris blinked. A tiny missile? That seemed rather on the nose? Nevertheless, she went to her phone, and called up her copy of the Handbook, looking for a Digimon that matched the one in front of her.]

Missimon... Baby II? [She blinked in confusion.] You're not a Child level like Hibiki's?

[Missimon hovered there and shrugged.]

Yeah. Is that a problem?

[determinationtofist]

Daww... it's a little missile! It's perfect for you!

[ Hibiki's input is as helpful as ever, clearly. Coronamon, meanwhile, puffs out his chest proudly. ]

Can't blame em! Not everybody is as cool as me, y'know!

[trustheart]

[Chris rolled her eyes at Coronamon, before answering Missimon.]

No, it's not a problem. Uhm, I guess we'll be working together. Anything I should know about you?

[Missimon shook her head.]

Not really. To be honest, I'm not exactly convinced of all this. I've been a Baby II forever, and I haven't managed to evolve yet. I'm not sure a Tamer can change that for me.

[determinationtofist]

...that attitude probably ain't—MMPH!!

[ Hibiki is beginning to learn when Coronamon is about to be rude, and so she suddenly reaches down and clamps her hands over Coronamon's mouth, shutting him up. Though, that being said... ]

Well, you haven't tried having a Tamer yet, right? Give it a chance! Chris is super fun to be with, so I'm sure you'll be evolving in no time flat!

[ Her positivity... it's blinding... ]

[trustheart]

... I guess.

[Missimon looks away, hovering there and crossing her tiny little arms.

Chris feels something oddly familiar from this whole situation, but pushes past it nonetheless.]

Well, uh, if we're gonna be partners, I guess I should show you to the place they gave us to stay.

[determinationtofist]

[ Something oddly familiar... just her imagination, surely. No need to worry about it, at all. ]

Ooh! Ooh! I wanna see where you're staying! Then I'll be able to visit you so that you don't get lonely!

[ Coronamon raises an eyebrow at that. ]

[trustheart]

[He's not the only one, Missimon does too.]

Hey! Don't go treating this place like you're welcome all the time! It was bad enough back home!

[determinationtofist]

Ehhhhh!? But...! What if you get lonely!? It's just me and Miku here, but we can still visit enough to make up for everybody else! Plus! What if I start missing you!?

[ Chris visits are imperative! Chris hugs are important! Going back for more hugs because you didn't hug Chris long enough is even more important! Sure, she's still figuring out what can be done for entertainment here in the Digital World, but still!

Tsubasa would agree with her, too! She can practically feel her now... nodding her head in approval. ]

[trustheart]

[Chris sighed heavily.]

How can I "get lonely" with my partner there?! And we can always meet up outside my home! You can't keep acting like you live there!

[Missimon looked at Coronamon.]

Are these two friends or something? I honestly can't tell.

[determinationtofist]

[ Coronamon shrugs at Missimon, whispering back. ]

I dunno...? Mine seems pretty attached, but yours seems kinda annoyed...

[ Not noticing the conversation between the two Digimon, Hibiki continues to whine and pout. ]

I mean, you were super sad when Tsubasa-san was overseas for a while, right? It took all of us coming over to cheer you up!

[ As stated in the instructions, one must remember to make sure that your Chris gets enough positive attention on ideally a daily basis! Sure, she does have Missimon too now, but still! She pouts, giving Chris the same-old Tachibana-brand Puppy Eyes. ]

[trustheart]

[At the comment about Tsubasa, Chris turned absolutely red.]

D-Don't just blurt stuff like that out! You'll give the Digimon the wrong idea!

[Speaking of which, Missimon whispered back to Coronamon.]

Who do you think this 'Tsubasa' is?

[determinationtofist]

Eh? The wrong idea? About what?

[ Oblivious as always, Hibiki can only question what kind of 'wrong idea' the Digimon could get about Chris' precious Senpai. Meanwhile... ]

Another friend...? Humans are weird...

[trustheart]

The idea that I'm some lonely person who falls apart when someone they're close to isn't around!

[Oh. Oh dear. She let it slip. Chris reacts maturely and reasonably. By smacking Hibiki across the face and screaming in frustration.]

...Okay, this is weird. Even for humans.

[determinationtofist]

Ow! Whyyyy!!

[ Hibiki seems to take it in relative stride(?) and starts to pout, looking very much almost like a betrayed hamster puppy. ]

Chris-chan...

[ She rubs her now-red cheek, still pouting. She's hurt, Chris-chan... comfort your bestie... ]

Yep, I'm completely lost...
