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

Ah--I...guess? [ She tilts her head, looking at the thing in the center and then around. ] Most machines I like belong in an amusement park. It looks like it does something big, but what?

[helpmeguideit]

Enhances specific skills.

[ Oh, yay! A familiar faces, he moves to step towards her. ]

Hello, Aerith.

[auncyenhalig]

Hi, Charles. [ She smiles, readily turning her attention away from the machine to him. ] Are you... a scientist, then? [ Charles can catch the thought that if he is, he'd be one of the few likable ones she's met. (She'd like Hank, too.) ]

[helpmeguideit]

Yes, I am. [ He steps up beside her, smiling at her thought but not saying anything. ] How are you, my dear?

[auncyenhalig]

Well! I'm sure I'm sleeping re-a-lly deeply right now. Got lots of exercise!

[helpmeguideit]

That's good for you. Healthy. It's been easy to sleep lately, I've kept so busy.

[auncyenhalig]

Keeps you in shape, too!

So--what exactly are you enhancing with that thing?

[helpmeguideit]

Abilities. Skills. Very specific ones, actually. [ Taps on his head. ] Ones that deal with the mind, of course.

I need to get myself back in the rp mood 8|;;;

[auncyenhalig]

Very specific, and I still don't know what they are! So that funny-looking thing, it goes on people's heads? It doesn't hurt, does it? [ She walks up to it--not touching at all, but instead ducking her head and shoulders and peering upside it. ]

How strange...

[helpmeguideit]

Probably a little bit.

[auncyenhalig]

[ Watch how fast she backs up from the device, hearing that. ] Ah-h-h. That's not very nice.

[helpmeguideit]

Oh. Don't worry, they seem to be just fine after wards. I think it might be a bit -- different, and that can be frightening.

[auncyenhalig]

...The world's a lot smaller when you let that scare you, though. [ After a moment, she decides, pointing at it: ] May I try, please?

[ Not that she knows if it'll do anything in particular; but she's curious since he's described it vaguely, and she thinks this isn't a situation she should be scared. ]

[helpmeguideit]

This is incredibly true. [ Watches her. ] Try what?

[auncyenhalig]

[ She rocks back and forth on her feet. ] Hmm, I'm just curious if it'd do anything for an ordinary girl like me.

[helpmeguideit]

[ Small smile. ] If it did it wouldn't make you ordinary.
