Who| Miku and You!
What| Miku tries to adapt herself to her new situation, which means meeting her teammates.
Where| Mess Hall and Around!
When| Post Valor Day
Warnings/Notes|
There had been a schedule at home. In the mornings she’d wake up, feed Ruri, make breakfast and lunch. In the afternoons, she and Rei would go over what work needed to be re-shot, sometimes making plans to travel back to those backwood locales. In the evenings, she’d read Rei’s old photography books and tell her brother and mother’s pictures about her day. It was prosaic and normal, (at least, until it hadn’t been) and Miku missed it.
There was a schedule here, too, though Miku felt a little overwhelmed trying to follow it. Learning about the UP’s myriad cultures and planets was interesting, surely! Miku could even say she enjoyed it. But learning how to fight left a kind of sick sensation in her stomach. She’d never been one for it, and it showed in her movements, uncertain as they were. The first time someone threw a punch at her, they’d run smack dab into her telekinetic shield, surprising them both. It had changed how they taught her, focusing on defense more than attack, which she’d been grateful for.
Still, it was important to adapt, especially now that she’d agreed to help the Legion. She was glad they hadn’t dragged her in and then threw her to the proverbial sharks. Plus, Miku was small enough and nondescript enough that she’d been able to go in and out of several places without attracting much notice, so she'd been able to observe some of the others - too shy to actually approach them.
Adaption also meant having to do things she didn't like. Like meeting new people. Miku watched the groups from the relative safety of herhiding spot table in the mess hall, alternating looks between please notice me and please never notice me.
Miku gave her food a poke and pursed her lips. She'd definitely get up and say hello, she would! ...Right after she finished this meal.

"Hi," she says again. "I'm Parker. I saw you on the comms."
no subject
"You startled me a bit." And water was a bit wet.

Of course, if Miku is the kind of person who can be easily startled into shrieking, she's probably not suited to the kind of work Parker wants her to do.
"Are you not a very sneaky person?" she asks, because it's probably nicer than asking if she always screams that loudly.
no subject
Between Hamada's warning about the sneaky picture people and absorbing everything else, it wasn't a huge surprise. "You seem to be much better at startling others than I am, though." She smiled.
no subject
'Not shrieking' is an important part of sneaking. Even if Miku is a naturally shriek-y person, she can learn to not do it if she wants it enough.
no subject
"What is it that you do, then? I mean... vocationally?"
no subject
Parker props her chin on her hand.
"I'm a thief," she explains. "One of the best." Then, because Miku seems like one of those honest people, she elaborates: "we pick up where the law leaves off. Because there are people out there who use their money and power to make regular people just...go away. We make sure they get justice."
See? She's a thief, but she's a good guy thief.
