[ When the video comes on Helen's in her medical lab, clearing away some equipment. For those that may have seen her over the past week she's certainly looking like the Helen Magnus that you're more familiar with - confident and certain, and she feels good to be back ]Glitches certainly have a different meaning to them after you've experienced one

"Christ, there's been looooads of them."

Fitz was no longer being affected. Fitz had also been trying to forget he ever was affected. Thus, Fitz was rather drunk. "Ne'er had one that was just me but...there's been singing, zombies, an'-- not singing zombies, those were two different things."

A pause, and a deep gulp of beer.

"They like making vampires into mean vampires, or turnin' people into people that look like them but are different. It's bloody complciated's what it is."

[ visual ] s-sob sorry

"Hold on. You said 'turning people into people that look like them but are different'?" Well that felt familiar. Helen was Helen, mostly, but who she was, her memories and even her personality were far from herself.

"Could that have happened this time?"

[Gwen is...absolutely mortified, and pissed off. So much so, that she doesn't even really want to show her face, so she switches the tablet to voice mode. She isn't sure who this lady is, but she's just looking for an excuse to rant about it]

Not comfortable with the mass violation, that's for damn sure. I mean, that...I--that was mass violation.

I quite agree. I take it then that you were affected by the latest glitch also?

[freaks_myword]

I've got a torn up cape to prove it.

May I ask how you were affected? I'd like to try and piece together what exactly the, if you like, criteria for this glitch was.

It's much later, but Party's been going through back logs and back logs just because that's the type of paranoid person he is. In between cringing and getting angry with the tablet once he sees glitched Kobra Kid or him, he finally comes across Helen and responds.

"Late to the party, tumbleweed, but forget anything Kobra Kid told you. That wasn't him. He have you a fake name, too." A blatant lie but their names were like buried treasure. No one was getting them.

"Considering none of us that were affected were who we are I'd hardly hold him to anything that he said." Everything that she'd said, barring her name being Helen, had been entirely false in itself. An artist living in a small community? A nervous woman? None of it had an ounce of truth to it.

Hesitation.

Party takes a split second to answer fully, but when he does it's after he licks his lips and presses them together, eyes darting around the tablet like it holds some kind of secret.

".....Yeah. I just get riled up when I start spouting falsities. Not shiny, y'know?"

"I fully understand." She was hardly impressed nor pleased by what had happened. "I doubt that there is anyone whom experience it," Or any other glitch, for that matter, "the feels well about it."

I haven't been glitched. [ Piper pauses, then blinks. ] This me, at least.

I was lucky enough to miss out on whatever hit you. Maybe the aliens like you more than me.

I doubt it to be a case of being liked. [ Perhaps more of what could be more interesting to them? She had plenty of possibilities ] I'm pleased to hear that you were unaffected.
