Who: Miku and Whomever
Where: The Sensoriums, inside her Brainplace
What: Miku thinks about frustrations and useless things.
It had taken her time, but Miku hadn't minded. She was lucky, she'd had lots of time lately to put towards her own silly pursuits, now that the worst things... the frightening things, had passed for the moment. She sat before a loom in the Sensoriums, the surrounding area made to look like her ever-growing mental protections. Archers dressed in Japanese armor marched back and forth along the walls of the pink-and-white Japanese castle.
The gates were wide open, though there didn't seem to be much inside the courtyard. From somewhere within the castle, overtaking any other sound that there should have been, there was a rhythmic noise. It creaked, clacked, and clinked over and over. Beneath that, and still just audible, Miku counted. "One, two, three, pull. One, two, three, push."
Inside the largest room, where a raised dais dominated the back wall, Miku sat at a loom, her clothing conspicuously Western. Her fingers flashed a shuttle back and forth between a netting of strings, her stockinged feet pressing down at heddles to move the threads up and down, occasionally moving a beam back and forth. The fabric, slowly forming before her, a brilliant shade of red.
Maybe, Miku reasoned as she carefully wove, she was frustrated. The end result of her work would not be real, she would have nothing but the experience with which to use later. But where would she find a loom in any post-industrial world? Miku pushed down a heddle, shot the shuttle back through, and sighed. And naturally, there would always be someone who would heckle her, but that was alright.
She was used to that.

She was used to that.

She shrugged, "But, I like old-fashioned things, so I don't mind learning to use it at all."

She was fairly sure Steve could do it. He seemed to have that Americana can-do sense when... when he wasn't busy trying to not-mope around her, anyway.

"But sometimes I need to see it from without and not within. So, yes, it is techincally rustic, but it doesn't actually exist so whether or not it is rustic or supremely old-fashioned is... is moot?" She smiled uncertainly at Kais.

....He is so cute. I. What.
She hoped that had made sense.

He had the system make a chair for him and he took a seat, containing his fright mentally.

"That is a uncertain thing, isn't it?" She tilted her head at him, and studied him for a moment. The loom ceased. "Have you told others? Like the people in medical? Or the people who head the military groups?" Something told her that should've been the first thing, but then... she hadn't told people about herself very much, either.

Sorry about the wait! ;;~!!
"I think, if you explained it clearly, they'd be able to work with you in case it something bad happens. Or at least, try to figure out a way to help you. We're all in this together, aren't we?"

"I would prefer to be free."

She searched for the word, "Keep anything terrible from happening. They had to help... someone I know with that, once."

He reaches up and pulls off his helmet so he can have a breath of fresh air, not recycled hair. The helmet goes between his knees and he looks down at it.
"Unsafe ideas and actions may spread so they are kept locked up for their own safety and they safety of others."
