GLaDOS and Digikids
"Perhaps it was given away by someone."
"I honestly wouldn't be surprised if my parents put it in the newspaper or something. They do stupid things like that."527 emails.
"Holy crap. I... I'm sure this is going to be hilarious later but right now it's rather disturbing..."
GLaDOS shuts off all power in the wing Liz is currently in, shutting down everything for an entire 5 minutes.
"Wha...?"Oh, yes. Overreaction; GLaDOS's solution to everything.
"Oops. The ethernet cord on the surface must be currently being bombarded with heavy rain and thunder. My bad."
"Was that really necessarily?" I said with a sigh.
"Oh, of course it was, silly me! And it's not like I mind being in absolute pitch freaking black darkness for five minutes."I complained.
"It could be worse. You could be in stasis."
"As if you'll ever be getting me in one of those 'relaxation' chambers again." I hissed, very much wishing that I had never volunteered the fact that I was terrified of stasis.My stomach chose that moment to rumble rather loudly.
"Heard that," She quipped, referring to her stomach growling, "There's breakfast set out for you down the hall in the staff cafeteria."
Although I was incredibly hungry after not eating anything since that sandwich, which was... well, I guess if you don't count the stasis, roughly a day ago, the thought of eating anything from down here made me feel sick.I just kind of stayed on the chair, interlacing my fingers as I was reluctant to go eat because of my new-found paranoia.
GLaDOS just gave a frustrated sigh at her paranoia, returning to her more important work, by her standards.
"You're the one who did this to me." I said in response to her sigh, shooting a quick glare at a camera in the room.
"That's great. You keep thinking that."
"And you enjoy it, don't you? 'Paranoia is a wonderful thing.' You said it yourself."
"It is indeed. And you should learn to love it."
"Right. That means I'm going to stay hungry for the rest of the day."I leaned back in the chair, a scowl on my face.
"Oh, don't be like that. You'll end up starving yourself or passing out. Just go eat something."
"Maybe that's the whole poi-"PURRRR PURRR PURRRRR
I stared in mild shock at Ashley, who had spontaneously appeared out of nowhere and jumped up onto my lap, purring like a jet.
"Really, I think it would be a wise decision of you to eat something."
I frowned, but then got up, forcing Ashley to purr at me from the floor."Fine."
I headed out of the room, then towards a sign I saw further down the hall that read "Employee Cafeteria."
GLaDOS mindlessly returned to her work
[Thank you for putting the image of some kind of zombie GLaDOS in my head.]I went into the cafeteria and started eating the food that I found set out.
Ashley, meanwhile, had wandered off and for some reason decided to go sit outside the door to the Central AI Chamber. She meowed once, insistently.
"The domestic android was sure to pick up catfood while you were in stasis. It is in the pantry of the back kitchen."
"'Kay."Ashley started scratching at the door. [assuming it's closed, of course XP]
GLaDOS' cameras glared at the cat, almost all at once.
I finished eating, then got up. I looked around and noticed Ashley was nowhere to be seen.Ashley paused when she saw all the cameras, then just laid down outside of the door.
"You aren't going to let her in? I thought she was 'your baby' and all that." She mumbled, very confused, her statement ending flatly.
[oooooOOOhhhhhh I was under the impression the cat had not wandered off]The cameras stared at the cat, a panel flicking her away from the door like a spider.
Ashley gave a loud yowl as she flew through the air, and when she landed she took off at a run all the way back to where Liz was, just exiting the cafeteria, and jumped and clung to her shirt."What...?"
I detached Ashley from my shirt and cradled her in my arms.
"What happened to her!?"
[Weird awkward third person to first person... meh.]
I raised an eyebrow at a nearby camera, hints of a scowl starting to show on my face, and rubbed Ashley on the head with my thumb.
GLaDOS gave a sneer, then remained silent before playfully nudging Liz with a panel to say 'sorry'.
I rolled my eyes and went off into the kitchen of the cafeteria and found the cat food. I knew Ashley hadn't eaten in a while, so she was probably hungry by now. I put her down on the floor, and she immediately made a beeline for the bag of cat food.Smiling a bit, I quickly found a bowl and poured some food in and set it down on the floor before she could try eating straight out of the bag. Ashley ran over to it, sniffed it, then looked at me and gave a small mew.
I sighed, reached into the bag and grabbed a little bit of food, and then held it out to Ashley in my open palm. She immediately ran over and started eating out of my hand.
GLaDOS had a camera focused in on Ashley, "That's right. Eat. You animal."
I smirked, and once Ashley had eaten all the food in my hand I pushed her back towards the bowl. She stared at me for a good half a minute, and then started eating out of it.
"You're lucky I haven't done exploratory surgery on your feline friend, there."
I gave a "don't even joke about it" glare to the camera in the room.Ashley just continued eating.
GLaDOS then gives a chuckle, "Of course, why do surgery on cats when I can do it on a human?"
Scowling, I turned away from the camera and continued to watch Ashley eat.
GLaDOS starts humming, the sound of turrets 'screaming' as they fell down the elevator shaft down the next hall.
I went and leaned against the wall, trying to ignore everything outside the room, GLaDOS included.
The ceiling of the mess hall collapses, hundreds of weighted storage cubes falling through the room above.
I absolutely freaked out at first, almost falling down out of shock. Ashley was no better, and somehow managed to jump in a sink in terror.Then I just stared through the door of the kitchen in shock at all the cubes, visibly shaking.
"I wish those metal support beams weren't so rusty."
"Yeeeeeaaaaah... that's a great thing to say to get me to dismiss this whole thing and trust you..."Did she really think I was going to buy such a pathetic excuse!?
(it really was, though. Ahee. Not her fault.)GLaDOS ignored this accusation and tried picking them up with floor panels, which fell from above as well. She gave a noise like a frustrated growl and there was a noise like metal banging against something.
