"Oh my.... the park is a little bit more crowded than I would initially have intended for it to have been..."
Considered Jitters to himself. Today was the day he intended to give his first open-air project an all-clear for go, but he had just hoped it wouldn't backfire in his face and make a public disgrace of himself, especially when he still wasn't really well-known. But if this was the atmosphere for the day, so be it, it would have to have been done this way. He found a slightly quieter area in the park, which was slightly less bustled and busy with other ponies for him to test it out, before dropping a ridiculously large suitcase onto the soft grass and he immediately got to work. Opening the small, brass clips on the suitcase, he began to twist what seemed to be a small clockwork key in the side of it, and as he did, the suitcase seemingly began to bulge, growing in size till the lid popped open, and the machine inside began to expand and grow with significance, growing to at least 3 foot tall before stopping.
The machine was obviously layered, explaining how its growth was attributed, in the way that it would build itself up from the first layer to affix itself atop the next, stopping perfectly so that it wouldn't break. It resembled what could only be attributed to a wooden pipe organ, with a few small pipes extending from the top of it, however, resembling more factory-based piping works as opposed to traditional musical organ pipes. On the back of the machine, there was a complex clockwork mechanism, ticking and hissing away as it seemingly did nothing whatsoever. Admiring his work in his first true, "outside the house" experiment, Jitters began to turn a small, red valve situated just a few inches above where the hand-crafted and painted keys were, and at once, a loud "Pop" of steam rattled inside the machine and from the piping at the top of it, a small jet of steam shot out, along with it was a small, insect-like device.
Resembling a large firefly with a glowing light at the back, its body was composed of a thick pipe, wired to death with miniature clockwork pieces, ticking away seamlessly as the small, needle-like legs moved around organically, almost alive. Its small, gentle wings were made of what could almost be attributed to stained glass, but somehow held it in the air perfectly. Jitters grinned to himself widely, seeing his creation take flight in the outdoors and inside his head he had built a checklist.
"Able to withstand basic outdoor gales... check."
Impressed with himself as his creature hung in the air lifelessly, he pressed one of the keys on the pipe organ and immediately, the creature darted north by about 10 feet and then held itself in place again and Jitters did a "happy dance" to himself, proud of his work on this project.
