Glitch is minding his own business, sitting at a drafting table in the workshop, tapping his pencil and...spacing out, mostly. This is not an unfamiliar state for him and so he thinks nothing of it, nor of the music he hears coming in from outside. He taps his pencil and bobs his head to the beat since it's nice and catchy and...getting louder.
Still he thinks nothing of it until he finds himself getting up to stand expectantly, the music so loud and clear he's convinced it's not outside at all but instead coming from all around him. Then comes the realization that this has happened before and--
"Oh no," he manages, and then this happens. It's a little jerkier than his usual dancing, complex and challenging and totally nonsensical, but...
Ding goes the bell on the front counter and he's twirling across the shop floor on a dolly, walking backwards up the steps toward the office and then he's springing and flipping across the floor to perch on a bench and-- oh. Hey. This is actually fun.
Until Glitch finds himself perched on one of the big pulley hooks, hanging on to the ropes as the mechanism lifts him to the overhead catwalks. Gracefully he swings off, lands on the platform, then starts to run with intent to dive off and fly around the shop--
He shouts and stops short, gripping the railing and gasping for breath. The music's gone as suddenly as it started and he shakes his head, thoroughly freaked out.
Once he's composed himself Glitch takes the stairs back to the floor and snatches up his tablet, turning on the visual in order to get the word out. Problem being whatever he'd planned to say vanishes and instead he finds himself singing.
"This is a public service anouncement, this is only a test," he begins, then grimaces and shakes his head again. "Okay, no, everyone...I dunno if it's happened to anyone else yet but that thing that happened a couple annuals ago? With the compulsive singing and dancing stuff? I think it's happening again."
He takes a deep breath and starts pacing as he looks up a particular broadcast, one of the ones he's saved. "I just did this whole dance routine around the shop - not like usual, there was music coming from nowhere. Stuff like that'll happen, and you might find yourself singing about stuff that you wouldn't ordinarily share." Pause. "Like...like this thing I'm linking from last time. Um. So be prepared for that. Dunno how long it'll last so...yeah. Good luck."
And yes he is totally prepared for questions.
OOC: Musical glitch get! Also the shop is open for people coming by later or if they'd been there for his little performance or whatever \o/
Also the line he sings is the opening of Green Day's "Warning", I am so making a hamsterball post to track this stuff.

"Glad you're okay," he says. "And, well, good luck with this whole song-and-dance thingy. Can you-- are you musically inclined at all?"

"Not...as much as you," she manages with a frown.

"It'll be okay," he says with a jerky little nod. "And nobody's gonna judge you cuz this is one of those things that happens to everybody. We'll laugh about it later."
[visual]
"Okay," and then, more sure: "Okay."
