Mirabel “Cisco” Francisco-GB6793355B1 is a half-human, half-Glitzian adjoined entity. Glitzians are beings comprised of hundreds of thousands of tiny windows that reflect the passage of time and the splintering divergent nature of space. Glitzians first arrived on planet Earth in the late 1800’s. Over the course of the next century, they silently developed an observational relationship with humans, vigilantly watching from on high in speakeasies, dance halls, and discotheques, feeding on light and music and symbiotically showering their glittering magic upon crowds of fun-loving humans pulsating down on the dance floor.
It was at a honky tonk in Austin, Texas back in September of 1972, that GB6793355B1 witnessed a heartbroken woman in her forties named Mirabel Francisco. She was swaying alone to the sounds of a gut-wrenching ballad of loss. It was at this point GB6793355B1 heard Mirabel say in her heart, with absolute conviction, “I pray for my suffering to change me into a being of light and love. Oh divine universe, join me, so that we may cast countless rays of light upon the dance floor of all grieving.”
It was then that a miracle transpired. GB6793355B1, so moved by Mirabel’s prayer, answered her call. Every single patron present at the honky tonk that inexplicable magical evening speaks of this event in total awe and wonder to this day. Mirabel began to float above the dance floor, and the Glitzian GB6793355B1 floated down from the ceiling. All present went slack-jawed, and by some magical power the band continued to crescendo and rise, reaching a fever pitch of cacophonous beauty! Magnificent lights did swirl bright beams of glory: GB6793355B1 and Mirabel fused together, and Cisco was born. Her head, always spinning, always reflecting the beauty of the world back upon itself.
She decided to take up playing the bass. Namely, because bass waves are so large, they activate the hollows of the body. So, by expressing her joy through the bass, her body is physically filled with the ephemeral emotion. A perfect unison of the tangential and the literal. A harmonious way of being for a most harmonious being.
