[ping! money!] Mion-chan~! [overly friendly? yes |Db] Really? Great! Hang on, I'll be right back! [takes the money and drops off, returning...uh...idk not that long after with a nice slim silver case] That bought you a nice pair!

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Fuu-chan is Fumie?

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Do you know her?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she's my friend.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Thanks! [Mion looks totally excited, and is totally not stroking the case.] You're a great kid.

[And then...] So, how does it work? [sheepish grin.]

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well then, I'm Mion Sonozaki! And your name?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Minato Arisato.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Pleasure! So, are you from Japan too? [And now Mion's back to politely interrogating everyone again. :|b]

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

They're pretty user-friendly! [still hyped from the cash] Let's see, first you can turn them on - [shows Mion the switch on her own glasses] - and it'll ask you some questions. You can answer those verbally for now. You know how...typewriters work? Well! When you're ready to try it, if you tap the air, a typewriter-like-board will come up for you to type on and there will be a screen. But all that can wait! The fun part will be when you put them on for the first time. [smiles just a liiiittle softer] You'll see your dog.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Yes. Iwatodai, Japan.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Ah. I'm from Hinamizawa. But it's 1983 there... Is it 2026 where you are?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

No. It's 2009.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

So these glasses have everything? [Mion pushes the button, and they turn on! Blah blah, questions tiem, DON'T CARE SHOW ME THE DOG. :|b]

A-aww. [Mion lifts the glasses away from her eyes, and then puts them back on.] You can touch them, right?

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Oh. I guess the timeline is different everywhere then!

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

I guess.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[smiles and aw, remembers when she first saw her own pet] Mhm. Well, you can't feel them feel them but it's like they're really there. Go on! You can pet them and everything.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

[Mion squats low to the ground and tentatively reaches her hand out to pet the dog, and ew, it looks like it's licking her hand, but she can't feel it feel it, so it's not so bad. ♥] Do you have one too?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[looks away for a moment, then looks back up grinning] I don't have a pet but I have this guy! [digs into her pocket and there's an Oyaji for you!] This is Oyaji! [and he bows to Mion~]

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

[Well, Oyaji doesn't look like a dog at all, so!] He's cute! What is he?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[pokes Oyaji in the head. Listen, Mion! He squeaks!] Oyaji is an older type. Pretty obsolete but he's very dedicated. He's just an old man looking model, so that's why I call him Oyaji.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

[OMG IT SQUEAKS] Oh! Well, that makes sense. So there are a lot of different pets and models that you can get?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Mhm! Cats, dogs, birds, mice, weird fox things, ones like Oyaji, little fuzzballs, all sorts. Most people just pick dogs or cats, though, like when people buy normal pets.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Does everyone rely on these glasses? [Mion's arm is getting sore from all the petting, so she stands up again. :|]

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Pretty much everyone does. [puts Oyaji on her shoulder :| Now he's like an old man parrot] When you learn how to use them better, they're really useful. But pet programs come with a lot, so you can focus on that first. And if he gets sick I can buy medicine for you.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Okay, can do! I'll get everything figured out! [rubs hands together, and mumbles,] Wait until Keiichi sees this! He'll be so jealous... [because she has to be better than everyone. :|]

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[tilts her head, then smiles] Glad you like it! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with it!
