[ this is her fifth day in the city, but her first time submitting something of her own to the network. after ruling out labyrinth's involvement in her kidnapping, miki set about securing a place for herself here. she has a roof over her head, a pantry full of food, a few changes of clothes, and got a job at one of the retail stores. it wasn't necessarily ideal, but she was determined to keep her head up high and make the best of a bad situation. ]

This is a bit like Mixi, isn't it? [ ah, those days before everyone began migrating to facebook. she chuckles and smiles warmly at the screen. ] Good morning, Genessia! My name is Miki. I arrived here from my school in Japan four days ago.

Has anyone had any luck connecting their cell phones from home to this network?

[ she thinks that, maybe, if she could get her cell phone linkrun on the network, perhaps it could tell her something about this place that the pamphlet and the people aren't. tarte would be able to tell her if the linkruns were capable of doing something like that, but the team's ferret-like fairy mascot isn't here. she misses his kansai accent already. ]

I feel a little silly, carrying two devices around...

[The sight that greets Miki appears to be a young man in a skintight black tank top, holding a whetstone in his hand with his sword resting across his lap. It's clear he's outside camping somewhere.]

I don't really know what a cell phone is, but it's nice to meet you all the same Miki. My name is Ryu.

[bacciferous]

Hello, Ryu-san! It's very nice to meet you.

[ he doesn't know what a cell phone is? that strikes miki as a little odd, but considering that she knows by now that not everyone comes in from an era (or world) that's as advanced hers, she tries to keep an open mind. reaching into the pocket of her skirt, miki draws out her linkrun, holding it up for him to see. ]

This is a cell phone. They come in a variety of types and designs, but this is mine!

[ and it's so much more than just a cell phone, but nobody needs to know that. ]

[He peers at it with a good deal of curiosity.]

That's a strange looking machine... With the buttons and the screen, is it kind of like a computer? This stuff isn't very common where I come from. If Momo saw this, she'd probably think it was a relic of the Techno Age or something.

[Video]

[bacciferous]

[ oh wow, he really doesn't know... and miki might not be the best person to explain it to him. she tries, though. ]

It can be. It's sort of like a miniature computer. It stores information and can send messages an get on the internet, but I don't think there's an internet here...

Techno Age?

[Video]

[dragonform]

This would all be stuff Momo would understand if she were here, I bet. The Techno Age is a time she says computers and robots were more common, around 400 years or so from my present time.

Robots are still around, mostly seeking chrysm ore. I only remember seeing computers in a handful of places, and they were significantly less common.

You can connect your phone to the communicator? Is that really possible, Miki-chan????

[Video]

[bacciferous]

I don't know for sure... Maybe? I don't mind using this device, but I prefer my own cell phone!

[ and she will most definitely be carrying her "cell phone" around with her everywhere. who knows when cure berry will be needed, and she'd rather not have to run home to get her linkrun so she can transform. ]

[Video]

[queenofnight]

That would be amazing if you could! I'd rather use my phone too!

[She rummages through her purse' pocket and shows it to the feed. It's a pink phone with a bunny shape. It's a flip phone and each button has a bunny face on it. When she flips it open, it has her Mamo-chan's face.]

See! I love my phone!

[Video]

[bacciferous]

Oh, yours is so cute!!

[ miki pulls hers out. her "cell phone" is about as ordinary as usagi's brooch, but nobody needs to know that. ]

This is mine! Isn't it perfect?

[Video]

[queenofnight]

Oh wow! That is so very pretty!!!

[Usuagi's smile widens.]

I really wish they do get the communicators connected to our phones, yes?

[gullwingsgunner]

What a cell phone?

[They don't exist where she is from.]

video;

[bacciferous]

This! [ miki holds up her linkrun. ] You can use it to make wireless calls, much like the devices you get here.

video;

[gullwingsgunner]

Oh! Well, that's quite useful. At least that's what I figured with this device anyway. So you want it connected to this device?

video;

[bacciferous]

To the network. I'm kind of attached to my phone... I'd rather use it than the device.

That's a bit silly of me, isn't it?

video;

[gullwingsgunner]

I don't think it is. I mean if I had something I cherished I would want to use it rather than something new.

video;

[ukidokiotaku]

I sadly do not that believe that to be possible and I had the latest model as well.

[It was kind of sad thought really, to not use ones own phone and instead had to resort to whatever it is she was using now. Downgraded much.]

video;

[bacciferous]

Oh... [ miki frowns. it was worth a shot. ] That's too bad.

video;

[ukidokiotaku]

It's truly terrible to have to downgrade in such a way too. I wish they would let us be able to use them.

video;

[bacciferous]

Maybe someone will figure out a way!

[ staying positive, because the alternative is to let the reality of her situation sink in and miki wasn't ready to deal with that yet. there was still hope, still good to be made of this. ]

video;

[ukidokiotaku]

The only figuring out is how to make our lives comfortable here.

[She can't say she knows of anyone who gets sent home, it doesn't seem to be that often after all.]

[video]

[ifbymyhands]

Oh ho! Maybe the phone police will get you for having both your phone from your world and your communicator from here!

[video]

[bacciferous]

Phone police? There's no such thing as phone police!

[ifbymyhands]

How do you know?

[bacciferous]

Other people have their phones. If there were phone police, they would've already taken theirs.

[ and if anyone tried to take hers, they'd have an angry pretty cure to deal with. ]

[ifbymyhands]

Okay, okay. You're being a killjoy, you know.
