For Miki, this means there's nowhere for her to go, no message to be delivered; an open IM client has an infinitely-spinning circle beside a pending message. No WiFi is like a closed door when her whole purpose is to get a message from one side of the internet to another. Either the message will fail and it will be out of her hands, and she'll find another server path to travel to get the next one, or the WiFi will come back on and she'll bring it on its way, but as long as that message is pending still, she's here.
And so...there's a tiny pixel blur almost in the shape of a pink-haired girl at the edge of the IM client window on the computer screen, floating this way and that as if in idle movement. More distinctive, perhaps, is the soft sing-song humming coming from the speakers.]
Ah~ What a cute human novelty. ♥ Here I am, a "robot" that sings and they've already made a few of of their own!
[ Mettaton isn't cued in yet that her presence isn't artificial, but he's self absorbed enough to talk to the pixels for his own amusement. ]
Did Alphys make you? Cute little thing. You seem like exactly the type of thing she'd program... for better or worse. Is that chiptune all you can hum or do you have a voice, cutie?
[It takes Miki a moment to realize it's her being spoken to here; she delivers messages back and forth, but none of them are ever for her. The humming trails off and little pixel blur seems to shift as she looks up, and then it grows a little bigger—it's coming a little closer. The pixels still aren't very defined, but there's the uncertain shape of a face, and then a smile.]
Hi! [She sways a little, back and forth, all restless energy.] ...Were you talking to Miki?
I was indeed, darling! Are you a program? A monster? -- Oh, don't worry about that, I mean it in a good way. I doubt Alphys would stop any monster's soul from going full digital if they really want it...
You know, of course, right? Monsters and humans, together in harmony again. You wouldn't believe the stereotypes, though! Hiding under the beds of children, trying to scare people... as if I don't have something better to do on a Friday night!
[Miki laughs at that, another sweet little chiptune, and her face presses a little closer against her side of the screen; the pixels define themselves better into the shape of a girl, rosy-cheeked and smiling.]
Isn't it wonderful? Miki gets to deliver all sorts of messages between humans and monsters now, happy they're friends and happy they can be together. [She presses both hands against the screen as she leans in.] So, even if people are wrong sometimes, isn't it really amazing that all sorts of monsters and humans get to meet each other?
