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.]

You aren't travelling? [It would be likely for some people to settle down, she supposes.] Most seem to be taking the gym challenge.

[Stating the obvious really is a good way to start conversation. The 'gear says this is the same person as before; the one with the mechanical noises. Pauling's still on that gun-quest, so she'll happily follow whatever lead she can get to possible technology.]

[Video] i /think/ it's five rooms. :I

[personal profile] pianokeys 2012-06-07 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
A~nywhere up to five rooms. Not sure how the houses are tending since the floods, 'though. [His is still pretty... broken, to say the least. He knows Ise's was ruined, so he expects a lot of others have too.]

[Gorthan was also out today, doing some shopping and generally pretending to be a normal person who totally doesn't have the worldwide champion of Pokémon cruelty as his boss.

As difficult as it is not to notice GLaDOS, that's what almost happens to him until he sees her out of the corner of his eye. He almost can't believe his eyes at first; but that soon passes, and his expression softens into an unusually warm smile. He is sure that, slowly but surely, she is discovering the joys that only her new state can bring her...

Instead of approaching her, for the moment it looks like Gorthan would much rather stand a few feet away and watch fondly. At his side, his Gallade volunteers to carry the shopping bags Gorthan is holding. The scientist refuses.]

[Now Gallade can have the shopping bags, which are entrusted to him in a bit of a hurry. Gorthan approaches GLaDOS with slow, measured steps, ready to stop and remain at a distance if he senses any discomfort from her.]

Do not be afraid. I will not rebuke you for neglecting your duties, Caroline. In fact, provided that that is what you are doing, I must say I am glad.

[... Also he'd totally like to know what you were drawing just now.]

[His smile is slightly teasing then.]

Why, would you rather be reprimanded for seeking a moment of bliss?

There was a time in my life when I would not hesitate to punish
dawdling or inefficiency. But then I felt that punishment on my own skin.

[Provided Caroline allows him, he will try to join her on that bench. And if she doesn't allow it, he won't be bothered by it.]

[personal profile] yesadministrator 2012-06-08 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? I haven't found much else to do here.

There's not much of anything from back home; it all seems pretty low-tech.
pianokeys: (Oh really?)

[He doesn't mind. He doesn't like talking to people without the video on though; it seems a bit... rude? Speaking face-to-face is always nicer anyway.]

Thinkin' of startin' a family? [He says this, because only five? What else would you need so many rooms for? One track mind.]

[He nods]

Massive damage.

And yet one can think indoors as well... But I commend your choice. I am sure I do not need to remind you that synapses function better in the presence of more oxygen.

[He smiles, but purposefully averts his eyes.]

Perhaps this is a practice you should adopt more often from now on. Don't you think so?

Oh come on! Get back here this instant, Eta or I'll--!

[And here comes Wheatley to ruin your day, GLaDOS! He's chasing a little Lucario, who seems quite content to outrun his trainer. He has a berry, and judging from the crying Cleffa in Wheatley's arms, it was probably meant for her. As usual, Companion Bat is flying after Wheatley, upset that her perch has moved.]

--Ah.

[Wheatley comes to a halt when he sees GLaDOS. He shifts awkwardly from one foot to the other and glances away immediately.]

What are you doing outside anyway? You never come out here alone.

[Not that he's aware of, at least. Eta finally returns, sensing that the game is over and hands the berry over. Wheatley sets the Cleffa, Epsilon, down and hands her the berry. Companion Bat lands on his head and Wheatley sighs. The things he does for them...]

You're drawing? Never tried it myself; I figured it would be too difficult. What are you drawing?

I think the lack of revolvers worries me more; a Gatling gun would be nice though. It's a little outdated, but I'm sure if someone could modify it, it would be more than efficient for whatever needs-

[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...
pianokeys: (Oh really?)

[Video forever] Bugger the previous was video too.

[He chuckles. Just don't tell him about those other thoughts... He wouldn't know how to take them.]

Outskirts of Goldenrod. Looks like flooding doesn't like dancin' with houses.

You're allowed to rent out a variety of apartments, homes, and maybe an actual store, but I haven't heard anything that confirms the latter. I do know you can rent both apartments and homes though! I came into ownership of an apartment because everyone else that was living in it left and I've been looking at homes to rent recently! [ HERE'S A VERY CHIPPER RANGIKU ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP...

sobs this is going to make hideous, gorgeous CR. ]

Yes, yes, it's good to hear that you're capable, but I wasn't questioning that.

[He waves that away with a flip of his hand.]

It's strange to see you outside at all. Without my assistance, of course. So? Why are you out here?

[The question distracts him from that line of thought, at least. Look, a shiny thing!!]

Oh, I've been in Kanto with Descole! Lovely place, that. I'll actually be heading back there soon; I've been meaning to tell you that, actually. We won't have to attempt to put up with one another in the labs anymore! There's a branch in... Celadon, I believe? Yes, right. I'll be there instead!

[Do you see how chipper he is? This totally isn't forced or anything! He's genuinely pleased to get away from you! Really!!]
