001. Audio/Action for the labs within TR HQ
[AUDIO]
[And somewhere in Johto, there's someone in an incredibly good mood today; somebody's audio channel has been left open, and the result is a rather strong, clear soprano voice singing...uh, something rather repetitive and kind of Italian over the feed. She seems to be singing as she works on something or other; since she doesn't have the benefit of a bunch of ridiculously cute turrets providing background music, the song is a capella, and as such there are a lot of rather audible mechanical...noises happening in the background.
Weird. Grating noises. At least they sound like they're a good distance away from her...but then there's the occasional really loud wham in the background. That seems to be decidedly nearer.
...oh dear.
Whatever she's doing, however, the sudden banging sounds seem to be pretty much par for the course as far as she's concerned; her voice isn't breaking any, with the exception of the occasional waver that comes with what's probably her turning her head away from the general direction of the Gear to check whatever the hell is making all the noise.
GLaDOS is having quite a good day; as little as she's liked being human, she's actually rather fond of the fact that her voice now comes with decidedly less autotune.]
[ACTION]
[For those within the Rocket base, the incessant sounds in that area are implying that GLaDOS is having a grand old time generally doing what Aperture Science employees do best: breaking things horribly. For now, she seems to have been dedicating her time to recreating an incredibly crude Aerial Faith Plate; she hasn't gotten very far, having had to make the entire thing by hand, but she's staked out one of the larger rooms for herself and is currently testing out what she's managed, singing to herself all the while.
Of course, "what she's managed to do" has been create a means to terrify her Raticate, the aptly-dubbed Test Subject #1; in between the rounds of Cara Mia Addio, those with access to the labs can likely find a ridiculously tall, very pale woman with thinly-rimmed glasses and long white hair, standing around and trying to convince said Raticate to get on the plate - before the thing quite simply launches too early, smashing the flat surface of the plate itself violently against the floor before righting itself. Kinda.
...
It's a work in progress, okay.]

It's a work in progress, okay.]
no subject
oh WHAT]
You had to bring the potato into this. You just had to.
no subject
That makes us even then, doesn't it?
[Because turning you into a potato totally equals you calling him short. Totally.]
no subject
There's nothing to be done for you, after all.
[THIS LINEFACE.]
no subject
[This base is huge, holy shit. Okay, here we go! Are you ready to go outside, GLaDOS? Because if you don't break away now, you're getting dragged out!]
no subject
[Wheatley, everything is huge compared to you.
...that said, she won't break away, though whatever bitching she was doing cuts off abruptly and she freezes up a good amount once she's actually out there. She recognizes things, to some extent - they're apparently in the middle of a city, populated with humans, and presumably there are more of these creatures around here somewhere, and some of the humans walk around with theirs out like pets. And there are plants here and there, and there are far more to the south, visible down the street, implying some sort of forest far off in the distance...
At the same time, it's...strange to be out here, with all the natural light and the air that isn't pumped in from the surface, but natural and...admittedly probably full of all sorts of repulsive things, but it's rather refreshing, all things considered.
Is this what it was like for Chell? ...if that's the case, then GLaDOS was way too good to Chell, ugh.
...that said, hopefully you're not expecting any words, there, Wheatley, there's just a lot of staring.]
no subject
Don't just stand there staring! There's plenty of things to see and do.
no subject
Other than receiving the most skeptical look on the planet, that is.]
Wait, where are we going?
[...she's not putting up much resistance, however. And by "much" I mean "any", but...]
no subject
[Wheatley's smirk actually softens a bit. He's not aware of it.]
no subject
Oh, I don't know. You made sure that I got a really nice tour of the old salt mines.
no subject
[He actually had some peace from you and that meddling human, after all! It was great!]
Besides, this is different. Now come on!
[Time to go explore the grass! Wheatley's done some training outside the city, but he's a bit hesitant about going out alone. Those rats are not okay, alright. Besides, he can throw GLaDOS at the rats and escape if things get bad!]
no subject
Where she will just lineface some more at you. She's a nerd; she actually read the manual.]
Did you really bring me out here to train these things?
no subject
[He has no interest in catching any of them, however! Wheatley pulls GLaDOS toward the grass. He marches in fearlessly.]
[...though he'll be throwing that bat immediately when the rats show up.]
no subject
I could comment on how even these rats seem to have something against you, but I'll keep it to myself.
Just for you.
Carry on.
no subject
[The Woobat responds to his commands easily enough. She's a high enough level to take out the rats without any issues, but Wheatley clearly still isn't pleased with the rats anyway.]
no subject
Really? I read in the manual that these things tend to be drawn toward terrible people.
Terrible people. Attacked by rats. This place really must like its irony.
no subject
Oh yes, yes, just keep it up, why don't you? And just what have you been doing in your spare time? Aside from attempting to build something as simple as an Aerial Faith Plate and failing, that is. Because that was a rather horrendous failure. Just so you know.
[The Woobat flies back over and nuzzles Wheatley's chin. He hugs her to his chest, still frowning.]
Why haven't you come outside anyway? Besides the rats, obviously.
[The sarcasm there is an attempt to mimic your own, GLaDOS. It's a failed attempt but hey, he's trying!]
no subject
Just think about what that says about you.
[That latter attempt at sarcasm will get a bit of an eyeroll out of her, but at least it isn't as vitriolic as it could be; in fact, she's actually not angry at all, despite her earlier remarks.]
As for going outside, I haven't needed to.
[...and that is quite simply that.]
no subject
Well. Perhaps you haven't needed to, but hasn't it been interesting? There's all sorts of things to see and do out here; all sorts of Pokémon to study and capture and train! Why, just the other day I saw a-- well, I think it might have been a fox of some sort, but I really couldn't be sure, you know how these things don't really look quite like normal animals and all-- and when I went to battle it, it disappeared! Bam! Gone! Just like that!
[He turns back around, expression open and very pleased.]
And that's just one of the many creatures inhabiting the grass around here! Just imagine how many others there could be on the Routes or even in all of Johto! Just imagine what they're capable of!
