stumbled upon

[Young man]

A mostly unremarkable man with some facial hair wearing regular street clothes watches a color-fruit-food-fight from at least three blocks away with a pair of binoculars. After a couple of minutes he folds them into a tiny square and places them in his pocket. "Well, I think it's official. I've clearly stepped into a physical representation of the Internet, circa 2000..."

[KonokoHasano]

"Why do you ask that?" Konoko asked, floating upside down behind the man.

[Feng]

A floating laptop watches the bizarre happening recording it with its soulless gaze...

[Young man]

The man turns around and sees Konoko, but doesn't seem particularly fazed by the floating-upside-down thing. "I didn't ask anything, miss. Did I?" He scratches his head as if trying to remember.

Depending on the location of the laptop, he may or may not see it. He also might not seem terribly surprised at it due to certain assumptions.

[Feng]

It is likely that the man might notice the mechanical menace... as it is floating directly behind the nameless young man's head! Creepy! O.o

::Bzzzz...::

The man turns around and sees Konoko, but doesn't seem particularly fazed by the floating-upside-down thing. "I didn't ask anything, miss. Did I?" He scratches his head as if trying to remember.

Depending on the location of the laptop, he may or may not see it. He also might not seem terribly surprised at it due to certain assumptions.

"I think I phrased that wrong, sorry." Konoko said, giving a shrug.

[Young man]

"Oh, well that's fine. Anyway, you're the first person I've properly met since getting here, so I ought to introduce myself. I'm Zoe Fischer." The man extends a hand to shake.

[Feng]

The laptop continues to monitor Zoe Fisher, its soulless mechanical eye zooming in narrowly upon its prey.

[KonokoHasano]

"I'm Konoko Hasano." She reaches over and slams the laptop shut.

[Zoe Fischer]

"Well met, then. Er, is that your computer? As you do appear to be telekinetic..."

[Feng]

::IGNORE ME!:: roars the computer as it flashes at epileptic seizure inducing speed!

*Cough*

::Sorry, about. Bad habits die hard. I am Bones. Pleasure to make your acquaintance::

A claw emerges from the side of the laptop offering itself in a handshake gesture.

[Zoe Fischer]

The man blinks for a second, and then shakes the claw as casually as he can manage. "Nice to meet you..never seen an AI in person before."

[Maiden Miki]

"Hmm...What is going on here?" asked Mike as he gave out a huge yawn. He rubbed his eyes a bit as if he just woke up.

[KonokoHasano]

"Well met, then. Er, is that your computer? As you do appear to be telekinetic..."

"Not mine." She said, as the person appeared. "Though I do have my own holo laptop."

[Feng]

::FOOLS! I am no mere Laptop. What you see is an advanced technological marvel! The next step in computer evolution!::

*Cough*

::Apologies... Anyways, this Laptop isn't necessarily running on Artificial Intelligence. I am operating this mobile mechanism from my hidden sanctum. You can't be too careful with these chance encounters, especially before a massive caper.::
