aintnoconvictThe days are still remarkably short, so Glitch is up and out of the palace not long after first light. He's dressed against the elements with boots, gloves, and a furry hat very like an ushanka (the zipper gets damn cold, okay?), but one piece of attire seems to be both useless and overdoing it: over his wool jacket is his adviser's uniform coat. Rather, what's left of it.
Where the lining peeks through one can see it used to be a deep shade of apricot, but time and hard wear have rendered it mostly reddish brown. The elaborate gold braiding has been half-heartedly fixed but is still mostly shredded, and only a third of the left sleeve remains intact. The right one is slit to the elbow, and both are barely attached at the shoulder. The ends of the ankle-length tails are also impressively tattered.
Glitch is completely unconcerned by this as he arrives at the mall and takes out his tablet.
"A few of you have noticed these 'ghosts', right?" That's a bit rhetorical so he goes on. "I'm thinking of seeing if they can be attracted by old stuff, not that I think they're actually supernatural but to find out if I can get different reactions from them. So:"
He turns the tablet to show the milling crowds of Extra shoppers. "A decent sample size of Extras, me for bait, and the coat for a unique variable. Now to see if anyone shows up." The tablet turns again to show Glitch giving a crooked, self-deprecating grin. "And if I, you know, recognize them. Wish me luck."
ooc: On this episode of Ghost Hunters: TAPS (Taxon's Artificial Phenomenon Specialist) investigates the mall to see if any shades of the past show up, and to find out what's hot in spring fashions. Bump into him there (or on the way there to best encounter the furry hat) or say hi on the tablets, but expect to be interrupted by totally headcanon ~ghosts~.
