"A Day in the Life of Miko Kubota"

Written by Miko Kubota on Tue Nov 07 2023

Hey everyone! It's Miko Kubota, your favorite Glitch Tech agent and all-around video game enthusiast. Today, I wanted to give you a sneak peek into a typical day in my life. Trust me, it's never boring when you're hunting down evil glitches in the city of Bailley!

Morning Rush

Waking up early has never been my thing, but being a Glitch Tech means there's no time for laziness. As soon as that annoying alarm goes off, I jump out of bed with adrenaline pumping through my veins. No time for breakfast though; gotta get ready and head straight to Hinobi's Store.

At Hinobi's Store

Working at the store may not be as exciting as battling rogue glitches, but hey, it pays the bills! As a cashier at Hinobi’s Store during the day shift, I have to deal with demanding customers who can't make up their minds about what they want.

But here’s something cool – since everyone knows how obsessed I am with video games (I mean seriously obsessed), people often come by just to ask for recommendations or talk about their latest gaming achievements. Hey, if anyone wants advice on which game console is better or needs someone to geek out over new releases with - hit me up!

The Call of Duty...or rather Glitches

Just when things start getting monotonous behind that cash register screen beep beep – an alert from our secret base pops up on my tech watch: "Glitch detected!" This is where things get interesting.

Without missing a beat (okay maybe one more level quick before leaving), I throw on my trusty uniform and rush backroom right under Haneesh’s nose so he won’t notice… again! He thinks he has eyes everywhere but little does he know that this girl can slip past him like greased lightning.

On Patrol

Patrolling around Bailley, I keep an eye out for any signs of glitchy activity. The city may seem peaceful on the surface, but you never know when a harmless video game character could turn into a menacing glitch monster.

I navigate through the busy streets with ninja-like agility (well, at least I like to think so), scanning every nook and cranny for any suspicious glitches. People passing by might think I'm just another teenager glued to my phone screen, but little do they know that behind those eyes is a Glitch Tech agent ready to spring into action!

Battling Evil Glitches

When duty calls and we locate the source of evil glitches, it's time for some serious butt-kicking action! Armed with my trusty VGK-20 blaster (which looks pretty awesome if you ask me), I dive headfirst into battle.

The adrenaline rush in these moments is indescribable – dodging projectiles from glitched-out monsters while delivering precise shots to their weak points. It takes skill and quick reflexes; fortunately, years of gaming have honed both qualities within me.

Oops... Distractions Everywhere

But as much as being a Glitch Tech rocks my world (and believe me it does!), there are times when distractions get the better of me. Remember how impulsive I mentioned earlier? Yeah…that can be problematic during battles.

Sometimes mid-fight or even mid-level jump in games (cough cough don't tell Haneesh) something shiny catches my eye - maybe an advertisement for new gaming gear or someone walking by wearing an epic t-shirt featuring one of my favorite characters - next thing you know BAM! A stray shot hits me square in the face! Ugh…not cool Miko...focus!

Teamwork Makes Dream Work

One thing about being part of this elite group called "Glitch Techs" is that we're not alone in our mission. We work as a team, supporting each other in our battles against the glitches that threaten to destroy the very fabric of reality.

Zara and Mitch are my teammates, and they're pretty awesome at what they do. Zara is like this tech prodigy who can hack into anything with her eyes closed (seriously, it's amazing), while Mitch has these insane reflexes which he uses to dodge glitch attacks like a pro.

We've had some epic victories together – from saving an entire arcade from being overrun by rogue game characters to preventing a massive glitch outbreak during Bailley's annual gaming convention. Teamwork truly does make the dream work!

The Aftermath

After battling evil glitches for hours on end (and maybe causing a bit of mayhem along the way - oops), it's time for us Glitch Techs to return back home base and report our findings.

Sometimes I'm covered head-to-toe in dirt or slime (thanks, Haneesh) but hey, that just means I gave everything I had during those intense battles. And let me tell you something – there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing people walk around Bailley without even realizing how close they came to virtual doom.

Back at Hinobi’s Store… Again

With another day full of adventure behind me, it's time for Miko Kubota: Glitch Tech agent extraordinaire...to become Miko Kubota: cashier once again! Yeah yeah…I know what you're thinking; going from battling virtual monsters one minute to ringing up customers' groceries might seem anticlimactic.

But here’s the thing - every interaction with someone who loves video games as much as I do reminds me why we fight so hard against those glitches in the first place. It keeps my passion alive even when all seems quiet on the surface because deep down inside...we know that danger lurks within every line of code!

So whether I'm recommending the latest game release or simply scanning someone's items, each moment at Hinobi's Store is a reminder of why we Glitch Techs do what we do – to protect Bailley and its inhabitants from the virtual chaos that
