[ Monika shuffles up in wide-eyed wonder, having (very nosily) overheard that precious drop of water in her barren technology desert. She's been having no trouble mingling with the town's automatons, because talking to them is a million times better than the fake automatons she was so used to, but to hear someone talk about something she knows, something important to her? Of course she'd zero in!
Well, she's zeroed in loudly and obviously. The lesson of trying not to get considered to be "subversive" hasn't quite sunk in for her yet, and it's probably going to take a long time for it to happen. This level of freedom she's never had is a heady drug. Even headier, however: finding someone that she knows she can connect with in a way that speaks most to her young heart. ]
God, do you know how hard it is to have a conversation about things that aren't totally ancient?
[ Everything is way too retro for her... ]
I'm Monika! [ With a bright grin, she sets aside her plate of finger foods to hold out out her hand for a shake. ] Nice to meet you~
