[sometime after the suns had come out again, Glitch had returned to the brain room, placed his hand on the glass tank holding his other (better?) half, and then curled up at the base of the pedestal to sleep the sleep of...someone who hadn't slept well in a very long time.

when he awoke, he was elsewhere. namely under a bridge near the clinic in

[Gem had been near the water, studying it. You have to understand, the ocean...the water in the Grid is so different--it's electric, pure energy. Beautiful, always pulsing.

This water is so boring. She wonders really what the point is.

She sees the man tumble into the river, and walks over, tilting her head slightly at him]

Why did you do that?

[justaddmarbles]

Why? I-- [ he looks around for the source of the voice, then blinks when he spots Gem ] I I didn't mean to, it just...kinda happened. L-like gravity.

[Gem is a unique creature. In that under her skin faint circuits trace, curving and swirling. They pulse, almost as if blood pumped through veins. But Gem has no heart. At least literally.

She gets closer to the water and puts a hand out to help.]

Gravity isn't always a sure thing. You must be more careful.

[ and once he gets a good, non-confused look at her his eyes widen in fascination. that's just...really cool and unsettling and nifty.

Glitch accepts the hand up and nods, smiling.]

I-I'll try, thank you. Ah. I think I've gotten kinda lost.
