05 ± [visual/location: speares] pay no attention to the man behind the TDESPHTL

[justaddmarbles]

If one happened to be in Speares a bit after mid-day, and looked up, they would be presented with...Glitchzilla. Specifically a giant hologram of Taxon's resident zipperhead.

Said hologram wore a baffled expression, glanced left, glanced right, then looked up and gasped in silent horror. The hologram then said That's not...whoops, also silently,

Are you a giant?

[Somebody sounds incredibly cheery at the idea.]

[voice]

[justaddmarbles]

[Cheerfulness from someone in Taxon? And just when Glitch had gotten used to everyone being jaded and/or creepy!]

Ah, no, no, I'm not. That was a miscalculation in the scale setting of a holo-projector.

[voice]

[buddythe_elf]

Ohhhhh. [There's a moment that goes here for contemplation. And for him to figure out how to get over to where the giant holo-projection was.]

We haven't done projection yet, but one year there were these videogame helmets. Verrrrry tricky.

[voice]

[justaddmarbles]

Videogame helmets... [Yes, there is a somewhat dreamy trailing off there as Glitch breaks that down into its component parts and decides, without having a clue what it all means, that it sounds incredibly cool.]

SO, wait, um, are you an inventor too?

The girls had gotten very settled in their new apartment, fitting it out very posh-like thanks to the hatches. It's very much like a hip college dorm. Not that they've ever been to college, but never mind that. It also had a great view to the north, and so they got a good view of big!Glitch in the air.

When the apology came through the tablet, they were curious as all get out. "What was that?"

After a moment's fluster Glitch offered them a sheepish smile and a shrug.

"Just...just just testing something on an old creation of mine, apparently I haven't gotten all the gli- bugs out yet."

He already had to keep track of three uses for that word, a fourth would just befuddle him forever.

"You made a holographic emitter? Why?"

Celeste's face broke out into a ghost of a smile. Though Glitch had tried to avoid the wordplay, the Cuckoos could easily figure it out. "Glitch working out the glitches," she said as the other two matched their sister's smile. "That probably would have made a good joke." Probably, because they're not the best judges of what's funny and what's not anymore.

Huh, loaded question. Sorta. "It's a TDESPHTL. Tri-Dimensional Energy Stored Projected Holographic Time Loop-thing. And-and I don't remember why I made it, it was..." Glitch touched the zipper with a wry smile. "It was before this, I don't remember much from then."

And Celeste just earned herself an affronted look and a pfft. "Ha! Yeah, and hopefully I won't glitch and forget what I'm doing, or or or have a glitch and...who knows." He was terrified of the special Taxon glitches, so far as he could tell they just turned people into monsters.

The blonde Jedi Knight chuckles lightly at the 'technical difficulties,' finding herself oddly humbled as of late by the lack of finesse the people here had for technology.

"Takes some getting used to, doesn't it?" Siri asks in that clipped Coruscanti accent of hers.

"You'd think I'd know better, having invented the thing," Glitch replies with a laugh and waves the holo-projector device in front of the tablet. "Been a while since I worked with one though, it'll come back to me, I'm sure of it."
