[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.

[neurotoxined]

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

[greatestcool]

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!

[neurotoxined]

[...facepalm.]

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

[greatestcool]

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!

[neurotoxined]

...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?

[greatestcool]

[Ryuunosuke laughs, giving GLaDOS a grin.]

You bet! I like being in the know!

[neurotoxined]

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.]

[greatestcool]

[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!

[neurotoxined]

Well, I'm counting on that - you wouldn't be here otherwise.

Right?

[greatestcool]

Of course! I've been bored lately and what you're proposing sounds like fun.

[neurotoxined]

Just don't get yourself killed too hard and we'll be fine.

[greatestcool]

I'll try! No guarantees though!

[He seems awfully cheerful about that...]

[neurotoxined]

[...]

If only all test subjects were that willing.

[no really what the hell does she do with you

outside of be really amused

this is why she likes you, boy]
