Hi, everyone.

[Is she going to begin all her posts like that?

Yes. Yes, she is. The video goes wobbly for a minute as Michelle adjusts the positioning to actually show her face instead of the top of her head.]

If you're not completely bored of echo stories, I got this thing a couple weeks ago. Meant to ask about it earlier, but with one thing and another...

[She walks off camera and comes back with an unusual device. In brief, it looks like a spider made sweet, sweet love to some kind of gun and the product of their union was built by Apple.]

... and I guess Wheatley's post reminded me. Does this thing look familiar to anyone? I'm not sure what it's for, but it does this.

[She steps just out of frame, leaving a clear view of the white wall opposite her desk. How exciting. She aims, the barrel of the gun-thing just visible at the edge of the screen, and fires. With a springy "foom" noise, a cloudy blue disc about the size of a door appears on the wall. Michelle returns to her chair.]

That's all I've gotten from it so far. Useful, right? [She laughs quietly, indicating that was a joke. It's not very useful at all.] I was hoping you guys would have some input.

Looks pretty nifty!

[That's the input, there you go.]

Image projector?

[part_time_overlord]

Does the blue thing do anything?

[tenaciousc]

[She has to smile at that.]

Yeah, kind of. Very sci-fi.

note to self, find a "thinking" icon

[tenaciousc]

Not that I can tell. I tried poking it with a stick, but that didn't do anything. It's completely flat.

Always useful

[part_time_overlord]

Weird.

Cool looking, but weird.

[tenaciousc]

Probably not. It doesn't move when I move the gun.

[originaloddcouple]

Maybe it's used for light shows!

...On a spaceship! In the future!

[tenaciousc]

Pretty much. There has to be more to it than this.

[part_time_overlord]

Are there any other buttons or switches on the...gun?

[tenaciousc]

Not much of a show.

[She hefts the gun, showing off its frankly strange appearance to the camera.]

But I could buy the future part, except- how?

[How can she remember something that hasn't happened yet?]

[tenaciousc]

[She holds the gun up to show him, the butt end facing the camera.]

There's another trigger, but it doesn't do anything.

[shiromadoushi]

So it's more like it's putting something there? Does the wall feel any different? Sticky or anything? How long does it last there?

[Voice]

[espigeonage]

...huh.

It looks almost... squishy, but I'm not sure I'd want to touch it. Does that come off?

[stillshrill]

Urban art?

Video;

[wannabered]

Oooh.

[Thomas has his face as close to his screen and camera as possible.]

Man, I just love how everyone's getting weird hardware from echos. It looks a little like Bakura's hologram projector, but even more Apple-y.

Does that blue oval do anything?

[Voice]

[dododo]

I'm going to guess you've already tried touching it.

[tenaciousc]

I have to admit, I don't either. It goes away if I hit this button on the side-

[She points to it, though it's hard to see given the angle and the low-quality video.]

- or if I put one somewhere else.

[espigeonage]

Weird. D'you think the... gun might be broken or need a password or something before it'll do more?

[part_time_overlord]

Maybe it's broken.

[tenaciousc]

That sounds closer. I haven't felt it, but it seems to be totally flat. Haven't really tested how long it stays.

[hustru]

Have you tried to touch the blue?

[Not that she is sure if that would be safe, but...]

[tenaciousc]

Wouldn't surprise me. It was just lying on the ground when I found it.

[tenaciousc]

I think it might be broken. The other trigger doesn't even work.

Re: [video]

[tenaciousc]

I did find it in an alley.

[She laughs.]

It'd figure, wouldn't it? A space graffiti gun, and I'm pretty sure it's broken. Best echo ever, right?
