[The video feed clicks on, and Mikoto is sitting in the middle of the floor of her bedroom, suddenly pulling off a pair of earbuds connected to what appears to be an iPod-like device.]

Question.

[She huffs a bit, and crosses her arms while remaining seated.]

Does anyone around here know a better way to, you know, meditate? These stupid recordings are

[Oh hey it's... you... welp. Hey Mikoto it's some green-haired chick.]

... Screeching dolphins?

[Mikoto (perhaps thankfully) doth not recognize your face---since you cast that sleeping spell on her just as you reverted back, and you were blonde when all that transforming shit took place, but your voice is familiar.]

Oh, hey! You're that other Esper!

[A crooked smile.]

...Er...yeah. Uh. It was a free download...

[Victory. Go ahead and assume that look of mild relief on Terra's face is because you recognize her, not that you're not FLIPPING OUT. Also LJ ate half my icons and won't let me upload new ones, the jerk. SORRY BOUT THAT.]

Yes. ... but why would you want to listen to that?

[canonarails]

[As they say, skeletons in yo closet...

...Also fuck you eljay.]

...I wanted to give it a shot. And it turned out to be 7 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

.... I'm pretty sure I learned about meditating in school once....

[Or was that yoga... Hmmm...]

[canonarails]

In school?

[blinkblink]

Your Phys Ed teacher must've been pretty hardcore, then.

... School nurse. [He shrugs. He had some insane teachers. |:]

[canonarails]

[....And Mikoto thought hers were quacks. She raises an eyebrow.]

...What, so...people went to the school nurse in order to relax, or something?

Hey, there's nothing wrong with a little dolphin music!

[canonarails]

[A huff.]

I never said there was anything wrong with it. I just said that I don't associate it with relaxing.

video!

[ Meet the last person who can tell you anything useful about meditation. ]

Isn't 'meditating' just sitting around and doing nothing? Why'd you need a better way to do that?

video!

[canonarails]

[Bart do you not remember what nearly happened to you on April Fools. Mikoto rolls her eyes, then makes a bit of a pouty face.]

...Because I'm trying to keep my powers in check. They're hard to control when I'm mad, as you saw.

video! 1/2

[outspeeds]

Oh, right. [ HE SO REMEMBERS THAT. ] Yeah, it's kinda hard to forget nearly being burnt to a crisp.

video!

[outspeeds]

[ He perks up immediately, though. ]

I've seen Max meditate tons of times though! And lightning probably comes outta your eyes when you do it too, so I bet it's the same. I can help!

[ Not that she'd know who Max is, but oh well. ]

[ Totally sincerely: ] I've heard taking dips beneath waterfalls is beneficial in such a situation!

[A pause. Mikoto has to keep herself from groaning----not this one again, although he does sound fairly supportive this time around, and not...condescending, so she'll bite.]

...Like in the old samurai or martial arts movies...I can see why being in water would be...calming, I guess.

But in this City, I think it'd be kinda hard to find a setting like that, and to do that in a park just seems pretty awkward.

[simplyteasing]

[ Oh, he'll get to condescending soon enough. ]

What is a little discomfort, if not the means to an end?

[canonarails]

[How comforting. Mikoto simply lets out an exasperated sigh.]

...I don't want people to think I'm weird. They already think I'm different enough as it is.
