023: [visual] public service announcement- not even locked

Dec 24, 2009 16:35

The tablet flickers on to reveal an uncharacteristically and somewhat excessively happy-looking Buffy, who apparently has something to say. Whilst beaming.

"Hi Taxon! I'm Bond. James Bond." Pause, before she bursts into a minor giggling fit. "Kidding! Really I'm Buffy. Summers, specifically-- and I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm ( Read more... )

Oh hey, Buffy, it's that weird guy with the zipper again. Only he's grinning hugely and there appears to be a sprig of holly stuck in his dreadlocks. Yep, Glitch has also been Buddy'd.

"Maybe you could make up a sign so people know it's you!" he suggested with boisterous enthusiasm. "Like a password or or or or a secret handshake- or oh! You could change your name to Bond James Bond, that might do it!"

Oh Glitch, Buffy is delighted to see you and your amazingly decorative hair. Rather enthusiastically, she exclaims:

"Ooh, yeah a really big sign! Possibly neon-- or is that tacky? Whatever, I'm all over this sign concept. There could be glitter." She looks positively thrilled with the idea.

"And I like handshakes-- secret ones are the best kind, too, 'cause they're all secretive-- just like Bond! You know what, that's it. I should be a spy. That would help, in some... non-specific way."

"Neon is my favorite of the noble gases," Glitch said dreamily. "That one or helium because of the squeaky thing and the float - we could make you a neon sign and and suspend it from a helium balloon!"

Yes, he could see it now, the PHNSFNVBIT (Portable Heli-Neon Sure-Fire Non-Vapiric Buffy Identification Tool), clearly one of his best inventions of all time. OF ALL TIME.

"...or go into spying," he allowed and tapped the side of his nose conspiratorially. If he knew a damn thing about Earth pop culture he'd declare himself to be the Q to her Bond.

"Or both." Buffy concluded conspiratorially, looking pleased with just about everything, as she continued, after an admiring pause. "Wow, you're like a genius. You're like Einstein and Beethoven and that guy who invented calculators all rolled into one genius-shaped ball of greatness."

Also, the PHNSFNVBIT is officially the best. Thing. Ever.

"I know," Glitch replied because who needs modesty? "I used to be twice as smart, but I bet I was a no-fun snobby guy then. Pfft!"

Somewhere, a brain in a jar is as offended as a brain in a jar is capable of being.

"And you're fantastic too, all bubbly and shiny. I bet the evil other you doesn't have nice crystals like y-" Pause, gasp of astonishment, even bigger grin. "Hey, I remember you! That's...that's a really big deal, actually!"

"You, no-fun and snobby? I'm skeptical." She raised an eyebrow to illustrate said skeptical-ness, before falling back into that all-encompassing grin again.

"Well thank you-- and as far as I know, she's completely lacking in the crystal department." This is said with a certain level of pride and superiority, because... who needs modesty?

"Yay for remembering! You don't usually remember people?"

"You should see some of the portraits in the palace. I'm all-" For a moment Glitch tried looking stodgy, but it couldn't last and he giggled. "Anyway! Yeah, we're both way better than other-us. Not that other-me is here since I'm him and wow, gonna stop before I loop on that one."

His life is different from other people's, too. "And no, unless I see them all the time. Part of the whole half-a-brain thing. S'why I try to be nice when I meet people, if I run into them later I might have a friend."

It's Glitch-logic: surprise!friends are better than surprise!enemies.

Buffy laughed at Glitch's little impression of himself, before nodding her agreement with his conclusion. "I think you're right-- and I for one am glad you're you-you and not stuck-up portrait-you, even if it means having half a brain, which-- how does that work? I mean, is that why you have the...?"

She gestured tactlessly at her own head, and her center parting, to illustrate.

[visual] justaddmarbles December 28 2009, 18:03:39 UTC

"Exactly why!" Glitch replied with an enthusiastic point, then patted himself on the head. This effectively set the holly further askew. "And it works, like, um, probably magic? Dunno. And and I don't remember the point of the zipper, unless, oh! Unless it was to make it easy to go back for more!"

He really needed to stop looking so excited about having a theory, especially THAT theory, but the joy was unstoppable.

At this juncture she made a face, looking less enthusiastic than Glitch, but still not to appropriately normal levels of HORROR at this notion. "Yeesh, I hope not." She quickly brightened however, back to scary manic grinning, as she suggested: "Hey, maybe it's just to look cool? Because it does look cool. It's a statement."

[visual] justaddmarbles December 29 2009, 15:26:44 UTC

"You think?" he asked, hopeful. "Well, I guess it...it could be. Sure! Why not! People put metal in weirder places to get attention." Oh God, Glitch, stop talking. "At-at at the very least one can't say I'm not open minded."

See, it's a pun because his head...nevermind.

"Oh, totally," she reassured, very emphatically. "And they do? Like where?" Oh God, this conversation can only lead to horrors, and also, apparently, a whole lot of giggling, because Buffy found that joke rather hilarious.

"Hah! Open-minded. That's funny. You're a very funny guy, Glitch. You remind me of a friend of mine, who is also funny."

[visual] justaddmarbles December 31 2009, 16:14:57 UTC

"In places best not discussed with a lady," he said with some degree of demureness. Let us take a moment to be thankful for how deeply ingrained Glitch's sense of courtly etiquette is.

Aw, shucks! Now there's a little blush to go with the grin. "Really? Thanks! I say it's better to smile than frown even if some people think it's annoying, but but they're just grumps, I guess. Funny friends are the best kind, everyone should have lots of those."
