A: on the Neo Sapien Network (username: Mirys)

Since nobody stopped by to visit and check on me yesterday (things HAVE been kind of busy lately. I know that.), I guess I should throw up a message to remind you all that I'm still alive, somehow.

Also chaosman owes me a box of cookies, because reasons. You know what kind I like.

[Zeke doesn't actually owe her anything right now, she's just posting that to mess with him.

Or maybe it's just a really thinly-veiled request for cookies, who knows.]

B: on some public hobbyist forums (username: Pinkal)

[There are some public forums that Mirys regularly frequents, mostly focused on electronics as a hobby, but on these boards, she uses a pseudonym—'Pinkal'—and Pinkal's profile contains no publicly-viewable information that could identify her as being the account's holder. She is a semi-frequent poster, mostly engaging in discussion about building or repairing things, obviously no professional but with clearly enough interest in things that she makes a fair bit of effort to be consistently reliable when it comes to any suggestions being made.

Today's post? Is a little different from the norm.]

Hey all, this isn't the sort of thing I usually post about, but some recent arcade releases have gotten me wondering: when it comes to VR and/or AR, what are some of your favorite implementations of the tech?

Personally, mine's a bit simple, but I do like attending VR concerts from time to time. Whose concerts, you might ask? Sorry, but that's my little secret.

C: wildcard

[Private messages to either of her accounts are accepted; her account on the NSN ('Mirys'), and her public hobby forums account ('Pinkal').
Keep in mind, though, that most people won't know yet that the latter is her.]

You're the NSO's ward?

I'm Dr Kane.

[fonewearl]

You could say that, I guess.

My name's the same thing as my username: Mirys. [As is usual for her, she deliberately leaves out her surname. At least for now.]

You with the NSO yourself, or just among those of us that were given network access?

[theghostbird]

I work for them right now.

Why did noone check on you? Aren't you a minor?

[fonewearl]

16 as of last month, yeah.

They usually send someone to visit every Saturday. Sometimes stuff comes up and it has to be put off for a day or two. [Recent events would probably count as stuff coming up, but at the same time, while she had holed herself up in her apartment while everything was happening, someone could have stopped by after things calmed down to really make sure she was alright.] Zeke called me on my phone, at least.

[theghostbird]

Well that is absolutely ridiculous. If we're acting in loco parentis we should at least be sending someone around every couple of days and especially during an emergency. I'm going to badger security about this.

[fonewearl]

It's generally a once-a-week deal at my request as it is, so chances are they're gonna tell you that it's up to me if they're gonna start swinging by more often. [Zeke often drops in unannounced, so it's already basically twice a week, really.

Though, some recent events have finally made her start rethinking this whole arrangement...]
