042 [visual | location: langwe & gale's] i held in my hands the beating heart of a robot
The broadcast begins with a crouching Glitch (a heavy leather apron over a workman's version of his typical ensemble) holding his hands out like he's just balanced the tablet precariously on...something. He nods in satisfaction and straightens up. "Okay, follow me, please."
And the tablet rises to keep him in view, pans around as he steps behind a cluttered workbench, and then pitches forward slightly to better frame him. All of this is accompanied by a faint mechanical whirring.
"Perfect! Thank you!" Glitch grins and applauds, then bobs his head again. "Right. Hello everyone, just demonstrating my new gadget: a VCFFRMATT." Pause for effect. "Voice Command Following Full Range Motion Automated Tablet Tripod, or...Matt for short. I think it'll be handy for when we mean to broadcast stuff but wanna keep our hands free." He is very clearly chuffed by this. "Oh, I know there's some new folks I haven't had a chance to meet yet so...I'm Glitch, and I've been here a long time and can answer a lot of your questions. Except for the why-are-we-here and how-do-we-get-home stuff, unfortunately."
Some of his inventorly glee fades and he sighs, then shrugs and moves on. "Or if you're interested in doohickeys or other mechanical things like Matt, you can stop by me and DG and Kaylee's shop in Osten - it's called Langwe and Gale's on the map and...well, I guess we're having a second anniversary sale. Buy one whatchamacallit, get a thingamabob of equal or lesser value free."
Hey, it never hurt to drum up business.
