Who: Lance and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Anywhere aboard the fleet
When: Not long after the ribbon glitches begin



[A - Broadcast]

[The Lance on the screen looks physically a lot better than last time, but his expression still isn't exactly positive. This time, he looks more exasperated than anything.]

Okay, I can weirdly enough sort of accept weird-ass glitches in the matrix that make us end up having superpowers or into a merman or suddenly a kid. But I seriously don't get this at all.

[Above his head pops a little thought bubble. Inside, this: . He gestures up at it.]

Am I the only one seeing this? Because it looks like there's stuff floating over my quiznaking head! Even for weird stuff happening around here, this is just extra bananas.

[There's a pause where he absently rubs his stomach. Above his head, ]

Anyone else suffering from sudden picture bubble syndrome?



[B - Elsewhere]

[Free for all! Go ahead and feel free to run into him on the Huntress, Iskaulit, visiting your ship, whatever. Marvel at the poor boy's glitch.]




[ooc: SOOO basically, Lance's glitch is that he has Sims-style thought bubbles over his head. As such, people will be able to see what he's thinking and feeling at pretty much any given time. Have fun with that. All pictures posted will be in said bubbles.]

YOU THINK PEOPLE WOULD TAKE OFFENSE TO THE PICTURED EXPRESSION OF YOUR THOUGHTS? I WOULD WAGER THAT COMES DOWN TO WHAT YOU USUALLY THINK ABOUT.

[the_tailor]

I mean, if I don't like someone--actually, honestly, the two people here already know I don't like them, so I guess it doesn't matter. It's more, um...



...other things that I'm worried about.

[It takes Death a few seconds to process the acompanying images but he finally manages to make a sound.]

AH. [Very rarely does he speak emphatically, but when he does...] YES, THAT COULD PROVE TO BE A BIT...DISTRACTING IN NORMAL CONVERSATION, IF MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONVENTIONS SERVES ME WELL.

[the_tailor]

Yeah, uh. I mean. I'm--well, I'm barely out of my teens, and guys can be...like that. With distracting thoughts like that. It's kind of embarrassing... But that's just how it is.

[ultima_mortis]

NATURE IS OFTEN DESCRIBED AS BEING CRUEL. IN REALITY, IT COMES DOWN TO GLANDS AND MATURITY. YOU SHOULD BE FINE ENOUGH, INVASIVE THOUGHTS OR OTHERWISE.

[the_tailor]

Pretty much. If I'm lucky, this'll be over with quickly.

[ultima_mortis]

DO GLITCHES HAVE A HABIT OF LASTING A WHILE?

[the_tailor]

Few days to a week or two, I find.

[ultima_mortis]

INTERESTING. THEY ARE LIKE MALFUNCTIONS IN A MACHINE, BUT MORE...IMMEDIATELY FELT AND NOTICED.

[the_tailor]

That! And it happens a lot! All different things!

[ultima_mortis]

HAVE RECORDS BEEN MADE OF THESE GLITCHES? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE VARIETIES THEY COME IN.

[the_tailor]

You can probably see them if you go back on the network. I mean, I can at least tell you that once I was a merman. Keith was once a 9 year old kid. Shiro's hair grew really long.

[ultima_mortis]

A MERMAN? THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT THING TO GET AROUND AS, GIVEN THEY LACK LEGS.

[the_tailor]

Oh yeah. Thankfully, as long as I stayed dry, I was still in normal human form. But if I tried to take a shower or someone threw a cup of water on me, bam, tail and gills!
