It had been a hell of a month, which was probably why the Extras had set up a bit of a party in Sanctuary Square. There were grills grilling away, tables filled with the usual barbeque fixings, and even a few small carnival games set up in a corner. There was also a whole lot of song and dance occurring, as that...seemed to be the thing.

Glitch, naturally, had been drawn to whole shebang. And clearly he had at least one more song to share, and it got broadcast over the tablets.

"Alarm goes off at seven
And you start uptown.
You put in your eight hours
To get paid by aliens
Till it's five P.M.
Because now you're
In Taxon
Where the folks are broke.
In Taxon
Where your life's a joke.
In Taxon
Where some folks are pretty batty,
and now you're
Home with abductees..."

There were more verses, but they weren't for him. Apparently.

ooc: block party holiday post thingy is GO, timed for after things in the Master plot have settled down. Tag in and start your own threads,and if you want to chime in on the song it can be found here. Or chime in with any tunes you've been saving up for the month :D

"It is a delicacy best reserved for special occasions," Glitch agreed heartily.

So absorbed was he in food that it took a double-take for him to notice that Kara was...doing what she was going. He blinked, frowned, tilted his head, raised a finger. "Um. You...seem to be making gravity optional. I was thinking it was one of those constants of the universe."

A confused look at then a look down at herself and Kara's laughing a little nervously. "Uh... not as constant as you'd think, I guess. I don't actually know how it works, to be honest, so I might not actually be nullifying gravity. It's... part of the whole alien thing. So long as I've got sunlight from a yellow giant I can do some pretty awesome things."

"Really?" Glitch remarked and proceeded to walk around Kara, profoundly curious. He even crouched down and swept an arm through the space between her and the ground.

"Well that's just nifty," he said as he stood up again and flashed her a grin. "And it makes sense. All sorts of things are solar powered, why not people too?"

Yep, "people", not aliens, Glitch has this tendency to group everyone together as just folks.

Kara let out a small giggle as Glitch did his little inspection. This was such a normal thing back home; it gave her a little ego-boost to see someone so curious and surprised by her powers.

"And the great thing is I keep working, even in the dark. So I'm like solar power 2.0," she said with a grin.

For having spent most of his life around magic users, Glitch is still quite easily impressed. Kara's casualness about the whole thing certainly helps.

"That's nifty," he said again and shook his head in wonder. "One good thing about being stuck here, you get to meet all these different sorts of folks."
