[The trick to cooking something when you don't know the recipe is not to guess. Therefore, having a tablet open to the recipe in question is a good thing. Which brings us to a girl standing in front of a tablet computer propped up next to a number of pots and pans; she's wearing an apron and seems like she's focused on what she's trying to do.]

Chocolate, milk, butter... I've got all that. What's next?

[Which would be great, if the tablet weren't suddenly showing something else. The girl pokes at the screen.]

No, no, I needed that...! Go back! Um...

[And then she seems to realize what she's looking at. Her protests cease and she picks the tablet up, looking at it in earnest now and scrolling through. The girl's eyebrows raise when she notices something in particular.]

I'd been wondering where she was that day... she was off playing in the snow somewhere? What is this thing? How do I get rid of it? [A moment passes.] Or maybe...

[A few more moments while she fiddles with the settings, and she notices the camera's turned on, trying to school her expression into being less confused, but it's not really working.] Huh, it worked... what is this? Why is Hibiki here? And how do I get off this? I was trying to cook something...

Hey Kanade uh... welcome to the community?

[Well this is awkward. She was looking forward to having a private place to complain about her friend.]

[tranquilrhythm]

[There's a moment of shocked silence while Kanade wonders how to respond to this. Thankfully, she makes up her mind quickly.]

Hibiki. What is going on here?

[omniferous]

What are you cooking?

[tranquilrhythm]

Well, I was making cupcakes. I was trying a new recipe... but now I can't see the recipe, because this thing's in the way...

[wildmelody]

In a nutshell, you've been 'chosen' by this community in order to interact with people on it. I got chosen a day or three before we became Precure.

[tranquilrhythm]

That's... [She fumbles for a word, shaking her head.] I don't even know where to start, that makes so little sense. Chosen by something on the internet? I just want my recipe back.

[Kanade twitches at the mention of Precure, her hand moving to a pocket absently.] And that's something else we need to talk about.

[wildmelody]

The way I got it told to me, we just need to entertain the Community for a while and then you'll get your recipe back. It hijacked papa's computer. The only reason I saw this was because I got a little more interested in computers since joining.

Yeah, we kinda do actually.

[tranquilrhythm]

I guess it'll be good to keep tabs on things... and on you... So I just have to entertain it? What, do I just need to talk to people?

[As quickly as she brought it up, Kanade's decidedly silent on the whole Precure thing now; she's starting to fidget a little.]

[omniferous]

Yeah. It's annoying that way.

[tranquilrhythm]

That's what it sounds like. I just want to get back to what I was doing before... it's... a little important...

[wildmelody]

Yeah, just talk to people. Interact with them, deal with a few things here and there... oh apparently there's more Precure on the comms.

[tranquilrhythm]

That's not so bad, then. If it's just talking to more people... wait, there are more Precure? I have enough problems with just us, Hibiki, how are we going to deal with more of them?

[wildmelody]

Talking to people, world-jumping... did you know 2010 is pretty nice? In any case, yeah, there's more than just us. There's quite a few out there right now, and almost everyone from our world is a Precure.

[Honoka really shouldn't be surprised anymore. Really, she shouldn't.]

Hi there. Welcome to the community.

I'm Yukishiro Honoka. It's nice to meet you.

[icantbelievethis]

Hey, welcome! I'm Misumi Nagisa. This place is, well...

[tranquilrhythm]

....huh? Twenty...ten? That was last year, Hibiki, what are you- [Then the words before that hit her.] World-jumping? You went to 2010? Is that where you went the other day for that snow... thing?

[She shakes her head again.] That's odd that there are so many of us here, and that most of them are Cures...

[tranquilrhythm]

Kanade Minamino. Nice to meet you too.

I think I'm starting to get an idea of what this whole "community" thing is, but... it's a little much all at once.

[wildmelody]

Yeah, sorry I didn't show up but there was a lot of crazy stuff going on to be honest. It was full of snow goons.

Yeah, and there's more than just Precure on the network.

[tranquilrhythm]

Hi! I'm Kanade Minamino. Nice to meet you. And I think I'm figuring out enough about this thing to start to make conclusions. It's weird, though. I think that's the best way to describe it.

[tranquilrhythm]

I saw that a lot of people were having problems with that... [She colors a bit.] N-not that I was waiting for you when it snowed. I was just wondering where you were, since you left without telling anyone! And the last time I'd checked, you couldn't go off-world!

And... I more meant, if there are so many Precure, why haven't we heard about them before now? It's not like we were discreet about anything we did.

[wildmelody]

S-sorry... I should have told you I was going to meet some friends... sorry...

Well I guess they did a good job keeping their secrets from everyone. I didn't even think they were around till now.

[tranquilrhythm]

We would have never known. It looks like we have a hard standard to live up to.

And... it's fine. I'm sure you just wanted to go play with them anyway, so- [She puts her hands over her mouth; she looks like she can't decide between being cross or being worried.] Mmn...

[wildmelody]

Yeah I guess so. We've got a lot of Precure friends here anyhow.

Aw c'mon Kanade, it's nothing like that... I just got caught in the snow goon attack or I woulda let you know...

[iwontforgivethis]

Yeah. I know what you mean. It definitely takes a lot to get used to.

[Locked to Precure.]

And I see that Hojo-san has already told you about there being other Precure here.

[tranquilrhythm]

We? I haven't even been on this thing half an hour. I guess we'll see...

I... I can't blame you for that, no. I don't even know why I worried, after everything that just happened to us earlier. I- [She cuts herself off.]
