[Well, it seems somebody is up and about this morning, and looking fairly invigorated about it; it seems that spending eight hours on a train is amazing for ensuring that she actually sleeps, if for no better reason than there's nothing better to do.

She's been getting a lot of sleep lately, it seems. But that's beside the point.

The point is that she's outside and it's cloudy as hell and just a bit windy but the overall effect is akin to that of a Magikarp in rain - she's got a lot of energy and is moving fast as hell, all while not actually...accomplishing anything of value, um.

At least she's...sort of smiling. In that weird, vague-approximation-of-a-human-expression sort of way she does, where the result is really more like baring teeth.]

You know, I think now is when I should be saying that if I'd known travelling was this nice, I would have done it a lot sooner.

That would be a lie, of course. I don't want to get on that train again.

Ever.

[She flicks her hair back from her face once that's been said, the motion pointless but giving her something to do with her free hand; she's practically vibrating over there, she's so wound up. Like somebody gave her enough coffee to give her the jitters for the next week.]

But that's beside the point. Has anyone else noticed their Pokémon doing something a bit...different, lately?

Not insanity-different. Battling-different. One of mine has gone a little weird.

[VIDEO, LOCKED TO ROCKET FILTER.]

[And a few moments later...]

I'm going to be on an assignment for an indefinite period of time.

Don't destroy the lab while I'm gone.

[He paused, obviously giving it proper consideration... then he finally nodded.] Yeah... just Tobi.

[ IT'S WAY BETTER THAN WHAT HE'S DEALT WITH IN CANON ]

... AI... [ He can't help but frown at that. The Patriots were the last AI he'd heard talk of, not to mention the System. It all left a bad taste in his mouth. ] What does a personality core do?

I'm not familiar with that, but...perhaps the changing season causes a change in her behavior?

...It's something I'll look into once I get to the place I'm going. I'll have more time then; right now, it's not something I'm going to concern myself with.

[That seems to be the general consensus around here; it's not really anything she can agree with, though if she'd been taken from the midst of the whole potato thing she'd be joining you in solidarity, buddy.]

I was in charge of overseeing a laboratory back home, if that's what you're asking. Testing. Doing science. Making sure no one screwed things up.

Maybe...

[She'll just be looking off-camera with the most (unsure) expression possible for a brief moment.]

It's something that I'm going to look into, anyway.

What do you mean "a little weird"?

[Well of course Ryuunosuke's going to listen in on your conversations! What were you expecting, dealing with him?"]

I might have the same problem with Liepard.

[Well, she'll just be snapping the device closed before answering; she doesn't seem too annoyed with him - she was doing this in public and all -but still.]

What sort of problem?

Hn.

[ "doing science". That was an interesting way of putting things. ]

Good friend of mine's a scientist... An engineer, specifically. He makes robots and gadgets... Smaller scale nowadays.

Well, Liepard used to be able to resist paralysis. But lately he's been getting paralyzed for some reason. Pokémon's abilities don't wear off after awhile, do they? That wouldn't really make sense; none of my Pokémon before had their abilities fail like that!

And what do his do? Anything in particular?

Hmmmm...

[She tips her head a bit at that, considering.]

We'll have to look it over when we get...wherever it is we're going. We'll have more time then. We've already had enough setbacks.

Is that something similar to what happened to yours?

[No, he's not going to let it go that easily.]

Something like that. She should be doing something, but she isn't, if that's what you're getting at.

[ don't talk about the nukes don't talk about the nukes don't talk about the nukes don't talk about the nukes ]

... Uuhh... Well, the most recent one provides intel and is pretty good backup... It's mobile and he can communicate to me through it. Packs a punch, too...

You're not going to give me any more details than that, are you?

[Sighhhhh.]

Well, alright. I guess we can look into it once we get where we're going!

[...facepalm.]

Her ability isn't working, Ryuunosuke Uryuu. Is that what you wanted to hear?

That's better!

[He seems to brighten up quite a bit after that's out there.]

And you can just call me Ryuunosuke. No need for formalities or anything!

[...]

Backup for what?

.........

[ H-HANGS UP. ]

...I'll keep that in mind.

[It's not like she's being particularly formal to begin with; it's just something she does. But sure, why not.]

Are you going to insist on details about everything else we're doing?

[...........................

wow]

[Ryuunosuke laughs, giving GLaDOS a grin.]

You bet! I like being in the know!

I was afraid of that.

[She's rolling her eyes as she says it, but at least her tone is warmer than it usually is when it comes to things like that - teasing more than truly annoyed.]

[Ryuunosuke glances at her for a moment to make sure that it's actually teasing before grinning again.]

Oh come on, I'm not that bad! You'll see! I can be very helpful when I want to be!
