brockton bay, meet glam

[mxglam]

It's the anniversary. Glam would very much not like to celebrate.

It’s their last day on Winslow High - they’re being transferred to Arcadia on Monday - and also their last day without a patrol schedule assigned.

And the PRT released a small announcement on its website about Glam joining the Wards. Now their wiki page doesn’t get erased, of course - they’re no longer speculative. They wonder what it’s got on them.

Presently: "Real ball, go."

[peterxy]

Real ball: no go.

[thinkering]

No bleep.

"Your ball, go."

[mxglam]

They focus again.

[thinkering]

Bleep. Slightly lower pitch.

"Annnnnd..." Pause. "Real ball, go."

[peterxy]

Real ball: still no go.

[thinkering]

"Your ball, go."

[peterxy]

It goes.

[thinkering]

Still lower pitch.

Delay.

"Your ball again, go."

[peterxy]

Goes again!

[thinkering]

High bleep!

"Real ball go."

[peterxy]

...twitch a bit?

[thinkering]

Low bleep.

[mxglam]

Blink. That was unexpected.

[thinkering]

Was it really.

"Real ball again!"

[peterxy]

It twitches a bit more than the previous time.

[thinkering]

Higher bleep. "Your ball."

[peterxy]

Shoots, exactly as fast as the first time.

[thinkering]

Bleep. "All right, gimme a minute..."

When Windflower has come back from the bathroom:

"Your ball, go."

[mxglam]

It goes, faster than all the previous times, losing momentum before hitting a wall but not enough that it doesn't bounce off it and goes a ways towards the opposite wall.

[thinkering]

High bleep.

"Real ball go."

[mxglam]

...it rolls a tad.

[thinkering]

"Okay, I'm going to tell Windflower to duck under the table in case you fling one too hard at a wall. ...Real ball go."

[mxglam]

The robots might notice it rolling a little bit more, but it's little enough that it might just be random fluctuations in air currents or some such.

[thinkering]

"Your ball go."
