<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/NHHqYIf.jpg?2)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Megumi Shika<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Megumi/Aj's Dorm Room<br/><strong>With:</strong>Akumi-Jo<br/><strong>Time:</strong><em>Flashback</em>- A Few Days Before School Starts, Evening<br/><hr/><br/>When Akumi remarked upon the name of her ability, Megumi nodded in agreement.<strong>"I um, kind of said the same thing? But it makes sense in a way. No one can really explain this comet business with equations."</strong><br/><br/>However, upon mentioning grades, Megumi tilted her head.<strong>"Oh- it uh, does help my studies too. I remember everything I see and hear pretty well, so it helps on tests."</strong>All things considered, while Megumi wasn't necessarily lying, she was toying with the mother of all understatements. If she sat down with every book Denai academy assigned and took a week to honestly apply herself to study, the sky was the limit. She could easily take the high school exit exam and pass it effortlessly. College would take just about about as much time, too.<br/><br/>However, Megumi didn't really want to do any of that that. She had missed out on so much of her childhood while in the hospital. She felt kind of mean for acting stupider than she was, but Megumi genuinely wanted to enjoy what was left of her school days while she could. There were still a lot of things she hadn't learned yet that couldn't be found in a book, like how to be social, or talk to people her age without stuttering, or even make friends? Megumi felt she was terrible at all those things, but she wasn't afraid to get better at it.<br/><br/>Megumi tried to look attentive when AJ began explaining her abilities, but it seemed clear she had no idea where she was supposed to look. Her hands fumbled about as her roommate thrust the doll into her hands, and she managed to take hold of it without dropping the prized possession. It felt kind of like a barbie doll? Her hands were able to build a rough picture of it while she listened to AJ explain her abilities. Her eyebrows raised when AJ touched the doll. She looked over it a moment later, and was honestly amazed to find it had switched! Either Megumi was a really good actor, or she seemed genuinely impressed.<strong>"Th-this isn't wimpy at all, Sakuma-shi!"</strong>Megumi exclaimed, running her finger along the flawless seal between the two parts,<strong>"You could save a lot of lives with this power! J-just the applications in medicine alone...! I- um, sorry, th-there's a lot of potential in it, I mean."</strong>Megumi recoiled a little, nervous about exclaiming something so loudly to a new person. She twiddled her fingers a moment before speaking.<strong>"A-um, anyways. You did show me your power, so I suppose it's only fair. Um, if it's okay, I'll just look at your doll."</strong><br/><br/>Megumi turned around a moment facing away from AJ and towards the wall. She took a deep breath. It always helped to steel herself for using her eyes. It helped add seconds to her limit, though she wouldn't need that much time for this run. Slowly, Megumi lifted her eyepatch, exposing her eyes to light...<em>traveling at 299,792,458 meters per second at an 2 degree arc that was increasing by .9400342 degrees per second with an average brightness of 1115.994332 lumens-</em>countless pieces of similar data flowed into her brain like a mighty river. Even from behind, AJ would see Megumi beginning to shiver slightly. Her breathing increased with each passing second, becoming more and more ragged. All things considered, being able to reach a full, uninterrupted minute of eyesight had been a herculean effort for Megumi. Seeing was painful.<br/><br/>Ten seconds later, after looking over the figurine on both sides, she lowered her blindfold. She had to take a moment to calm the throbbing pain in her chest, before speaking once more.<strong>"I... I didn't know you were a boy."</strong>she blearily asserted. Her tone was different. While her personality had not changed, the stuttering, meek way of speaking she normally used had disappeared.<strong>"Anyways... I'll start with the paint. Just from the age of the coloring, this model (and by that, I mean the body portion) was manufactured 10 years ago. However, it was only removed from the packaging when you purchased it about 3 years ago as a collector's item. You bought them for yourself and (judging by the micro-tears and lack of dust) kept it on display, dusting it occasionally. It has slight fading from light damage, so they haven't been kept in a drawer somewhere. You've been keeping them in a display case. If you own a display case, then it would only follow that you have a notable collection of dolls just like this one, which tells me that you're actually an Otaku? I haven't seen enough to verify what kinds you're interested in, but, returning to the age of the piece and the time it was opened, I'd say that you prefer dolls from older cartoon shows that aired in your childhood. None of that tells me your gender, though. The real problem is the trace sweat stains on the dolls that cone from handling it. They have atypical amounts of testosterone for someone your age, and honestly speaking, men simply sweat more than women do. From that, I can only conclude that you are male."</strong>With her analysis complete, she put the partially-swapped anime figurine back on the dresser by its matching pair. Her demeanor almost immediately regressed back to her usual, shy self. Megumi was only sure of the things she saw. Without that crutch her eyes gave, she was back to being timid quite fast.<strong>"Um. B-but I don't understand why!? I-I don't mean to rude, but I was told that this wasn't a coed dorm!"</strong>She meekly stammered out.
