002. Audio/Action for Goldenrod City
[AUDIO]
[Well, Johto, today you are getting the most terse question in the history of terse questions; no elaborations, no explanations, just incredibly to-the-point. There isn't any sort of noise in the background to indicate where the speaker is, specifically, either, though the general white-noise sounds indicate somewhere outdoors.]
So what sort of buildings are we allowed to rent out here, anyway?
[ACTION]
[Surprisingly, GLaDOS is actually outside today, sitting on a bench in one of the small, open squares in Goldenrod City. She has two of her Pokémon out - the Deerling and the Porygon-Z - but she doesn't seem to be paying them much mind, though she does glance up once in a while as though to ensure they haven't run off; rather, most of her attention seems given to a legal pad sitting in her lap - not full of research notes, but rather drawings, the lines sketchy and angular, outlining what appear to be floor plans. The rooms have a somewhat creepy lack of perspective going on, what with all of the walls visible like the room is some sort of cardboard box collapsed outwards, and parts of the floors and walls are covered with Xs and bullseye targets.
She has several pages turned back on that legal pad before the one she's currently sketching on; she could probably wallpaper herself a nice room full of crazy if she felt inclined to display it anywhere, but for now she's content to draw and let her Pokémon play with each other.]

[She sounds genuinely amused at that, even if that amusement is running a bit dark.]
There are bound to be ways around it. Somehow. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was the gatling gun.
[Voice]
[She stops suddenly, realizing she's talking too much.]
Whoops. I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
I'm not even sure what use a gun could have here, what with Pokémon to protect us. Still, it would be nice...
[Voice]
Personal security, for one thing. Not everyone likes letting the animals fight for them. Some like to stick to more...familiar methods. I can't say that I blame them any.
[........]
You sound like you've worked with these things.
[Voice]
[Oh! That's good.
She's wondering why GLaDOS was so dismissive about it though. There seems to be more to this woman.]
A little. [really, Pauling? Really?] I read a lot of magazines.
