Kingdom Hearts fic: Use of Resources

Summary: No one really understands the key masters, and how they do what they can do. Everyone interacts with Builds, the customizable Virtual Reality overlays responsible for most of the sensory input that people receive, from the furnishings of an apartment, to experiential entertainment. But for the key masters, it's different; they have the ability to create Builds entirely in their own minds, and even to alter the Builds around them.
Kairi agrees to answer a researcher's questions about her and her partners' abilities. But they are not interested in being anyone's experiment.

Day 22 of AU-gust: Futuristic AU.
This is actually an opening chapter (roughly) for an otherwise unwritten Cyberpunk AU that I started thinking about way back when KH2 had just come out, and revisited after Days (and a couple more times on and off when inspiration strikes, haha). This is one that I don't want to say I'll *never* write, because I actually still think it would be fun to... but I used a lot of the themes and plot elements I'd originally intended for the Cyberpunk AU in my Superhero fic Potentials. I also feel like there'd be a lot of thematically relevant information in BBS and DDD, which I never had an opportunity to play, so it's on a nebulous hold for that reason as well.
