cerebro is quite an exciting thing, don't you think.

[ The room that you could step into is one of many in the CIA installment that he has been spending time in. It is surrounded by several pieces of equipment. Charles is standing in the center, looking around and examining Cerebro. He moves his fingers over the headpiece, feeling it carefully

[ Usagi's never been one for science-y things. Still, even she can't deny on some level that this place she's stepped in to the moment she fell asleep isn't overwhelming.

So, for a little while, she idly strolls around, following wires that attach to the helmet that's being suspended by the roof of the dome they stand under. ]

It's really something... but what's it do?

[helpmeguideit]

It enhances telepathic skills, darling.

[ Steps around to approach her ]

[herlonelystar]

Telepathic?

[ Even in the presence of a stranger she's not too worried when he gets closer. In fact, since he knows about this place, she's more than okay with him walking around. ]

You mean mind reading and stuff like that?

[ She tears her eyes away from Cerebro, eyes shining rather curiously when she asks the question. ]

[helpmeguideit]

Exactly. I mean mindreading --

[ Nod. She seems friendly and interested. ]

Alnd things ike that.

[herlonelystar]

Oh, wow!

[ She is. And innocently at that. She's seen lots of different things, but mind reading she has not.

Time to move forward so she can lean over the railing and look up inside of the helmet again. ]

The helmet looks really big. ... Does that mean telepathic people have really huge heads? [ Of course, she's just kidding.. mostly. ]

[helpmeguideit]

[ Makes a face, moving a hand up to his hair. ]

Maybe it is to accommodate for their hair.

[herlonelystar]

Oh. I wonder if it'll fit my head!

[ She peers back up at Cerebro, slowly making her way onto the platform to step on it. If and when she does so, she gingerly reaches up to see if the helmet will fit on her head comfortably, buns and all.

It probably won't. But in all reality, what normal person wears their hair like Usagi's on a regular basis? ]

[helpmeguideit]

You're welcome to try it on.

[ Charles has his doubts, but he might as well okay it. ]

[herlonelystar]

[ Given the okay, Usagi brightens up and brings the helmet down. ... She struggles with it a bit -- her buns seem to be getting in the way of it fitting snuggly but she's able to do it. ]

I got it on!

[helpmeguideit]

[ And he's going to slide right over and remove it from her head. He's very delicate with it. ]

That you did.

[herlonelystar]

Thanks for letting me try it on.

[ There's a soft giggle that vibrates in the back of her throat as she steps off the platform, while extending her hand. It's a gesture she's not used to, but he looks foreign and they do that hand shake thing to greet each other, right? ]

My name's Usagi.

[helpmeguideit]

Charles. [ Takes her hand and shanks it. ] Of course. It's harmless to just try on.

[herlonelystar]

So, you said that this helps telepathic people with their powers right? Does that mean you're one?

[helpmeguideit]

Maybe. Or maybe not.
