LOCKDOWN
Who: GLaDOS and everyone.
What: Testing.
Where:Aperture Smash Academy
When: August 13th
Warnings: Homicidal AI, science, testing, and more science.
Reference: Partner ooc post.
You know, it's funny how things work in life. Chell had had returned to the school after feeling guilty, in order to warn everyone about the impending danger that would befall them. What she didn't know, however, was that once the warning goes out, all it does is enrage the AI. So before anyone would dare leave, all the exit doors in the school became boarded up with panels. Any windows that may have been at the school were closed off, preventing any other means of escape.
For an hour or so, nothing happens besides that. No announcement, no warning, nothing. That is, until panels on the floor open up underneath any unsuspecting victim. The panels will lead to tubing, sending them downwards. Down into a plain white room. Thankfully, for those of you who didn't put on your Long Fall Boots, there will be a cushion to land on. Other than that, the room itself is fairly empty. The only things of mention is a table containing the equipment from the beginning of the week (if you didn't take it), a door (that won't open unless you have all the equipment), and...another person: your partner. Meanwhile, a message from GLaDOS chimes in over the intercom:
"The lockdown of Smash Academy is now complete. For those of you who are curious as to what is going on, a manual testing initiative has been added to the school's curriculum, for students and staff alike. In order to advance, you will need to work with your partner to complete the test. Failure to do so will result in...dangerous consequences.
No one will be allowed out of their current chamber until they are equipped with a communicator, a pair of Long-Fall Boots, and a Dual Portal device. Once those objects are in hand, you may start testing.
That is all."
Good luck testing, Smash. You're going to need it.

Re: Shadow & Chell
He looked to Chell and frowned, eyes wild with fury that was difficult to tame.
"She will pay."
no subject
GLaDOS' voice ringed through the test chamber as a camera zoomed in on Chell and Shadow. The AI's cold monotone was prevalent as ever, however, she did sound a bit more irritable.
At any rate, and this is for the mute lunatic, I'm surprised you came back. Leaving all these people to test forever and ever seemed to be more your style, since you love your precious freedom so much and have no problem killing anyone to get it.
There's a brief pause to let that sink in before she continues talking.
But that's enough of shooting the breeze, let's get down to business.
[And here's the test chamber.]
no subject
This chamber... It was mind-boggling, to be sure, given that he had no idea what this test was for, but he was going to figure it out. There was no way he wouldn't. He is the Ultimate Lifeform, after all, and not even a brilliant AI can stop him.
Right now, however, he needed to get down to one important matter of business:
"If you so much as hurt anyone," namely him, "I will only leave you mildly functioning to help you lead a painful life of torture."
Ouch. Morbid.
no subject
Shadow could go and insult GLaDOS all he wanted, but Chell knew the threats wouldn't deter her. She heard the words, though, still regretting her choice to return. But, it was only half-regret. She could reach the Central Chamber and dismantle her again if she had to; she had done it before.
Either way, Chell simply continued forward, immediately taking note of the new surroundings of the test chamber. Lots of white walls. A platform above with a door. Of course, Chell immediately positioned a portal up on the slanted white wall above, and another portal on the floor. She would propel herself to the platform with the door.
Upon doing this, though, that didn't work. She had to think of a different solution, now that the chamber had shifted.
She tried the propelling method again, but this time it propelled her too far, and she missed the platform.
no subject
"I will show you," he told her, stepping near her, "the correct way to do it."
He focused on the Chaos Emerald within his
hammerspaceinventoryspines, one little blue one still left over from the Time Eater issue, and with a flash of light and a shout of, "Chaos Control!!" he propelled himself forth. He smirked proudly, bolting for the platform at top speed and giving a Chaos-empowered, mighty leap upward...... and promptly face-planted onto a wall.
Not high enough. Oops.
no subject
When Shadow faceplanted on the wall, Chell looked up at him and smirked, folding her arms in an amused manner. The only problem was that Shadow had to grasp the use of portals, and Chell didn't have all day to wait for him to learn. She would continue best she could, hopefully making it as easy as possible for him.
Looking around the area, Chell had to figure out how to get just enough speed to propel herself from the slanted white wall above onto the platform. She had gone too far last time, and Shadow had not gone far enough. Walking forward, she found two white walls parallel to each other, one above the ground and one on the ground. If she positioned the portals right, she could fall through an infinite loop. However, she needed Shadow's help to move the portal to the slanted wall after falling a certain distance.
Using the ping tool, she motioned to Shadow and pointed between the infinite loop walls and the slanted wall. Placing her portals, she fell through the two parallel walls in an infinite loop, falling several times until she turned off one of the portals. After coming out, then she pointed back up at the slanted wall. Hopefully Shadow would understand what she was getting at.
no subject
"H-Hnng," came the noise from him as he straightened himself up. He was unsteady at first, but he managed some semblance of regularity soon enough. He was not about to do that again, yet it still left him baffled. How could he not even reach that area with a Chaos Control?!
"That conniving, sneaky little..."
... Wait. What was Chell doing? She clearly seemed to have an idea, and she was pinging him to look. She was definitely trying to get some across to him, but what?
He realized it after only a brief moment of examination. Ah, yes, the momentum from an infinite loop would easily override anything caused by legs alone. This woman was admittedly clever.
He gave her a slight nod of acknowledgment. He was going to be ready for when she gave the signal.
no subject
God help her if she got paired up with Kanji "WHOA MY HAND COMES OUT THE OTHER SIDE" Tatsumi. Or Skull Kid.Shadow would have to be quick with his timing. If Chell fell through the infinite loop too long, then she would be propelled too far. It may take a few tries, then, for them to get this right.
It was at times like this when Chell did miss speaking, but her voice had been unused for so long that it likely barely functioned. Besides, she had little trouble getting around it, and it gave her a smug satisfaction for GLaDOS to think of her as a "mute lunatic."
Either way, though, she positioned the Portals and stood by the one on the floor. Looking to Shadow, she nodded, then jumped into the Portal on the floor. He would have to quickly transport her to the one on the slanted white wall.
no subject
He would have to be on her end soon, he realized, using the infinite portal trick to launch him to that door. That, admittedly, was a bit of a thrill, one that he did want to experience. It was fascinating, the physics and the technique involved.
There wasn't much more time to think about it, though. Just a little more, and then he would...
Fire.
He launched the portal and guided her to the wall, hopefully causing enough velocity to get her to where she had to be. He bit down on his lip in purest concentration, just in case their attempt failed and had to be redone.
no subject
Fortunately, she found that she landed right on the platform as planned. Shadow indeed was quick; a much faster learner than she initially thought. She looked down to where he stood and smiled in a gesture of appreciation, glad that she was fortunate enough to have an intelligent partner.
Of course, she knew that Shadow would have to do the same thing, so she held up her Portal gun in a signal that she was ready whenever he was.
no subject
Shadow could get used to this one.
He wasn't about to spend his time with needless praise, however, not matter how inward it was. He fired his own portals yet again, but this time towards the platforms. In one more swift movement, he leaped for them, endlessly falling in a sensation that was admittedly strange and unfamiliar. He got the timing just right, so he was able to recognize already when he needed her portal, and that... was...
Now!
no subject
As soon as Shadow jumped into the portal, Chell immediately aimed her gun to the white wall, judging by pure instinct as to when to fire. It was only a brief couple seconds that needed to pass before Chell fired, and she did quickly, watching Shadow fly out from the wall above.
no subject
He straightened himself up, looking to Chell with a smirk, one of devious intent towards GLaDOS. However, if she were to look carefully, she might see a hint of gratitude in there, and that was not aimed at the AI.
There was no time to dilly-dally, at any rate. He plowed forth, the doors sliding open to reveal their next test chamber...
no subject
Did GLaDOS purposely pair Chell up with a more intelligent being? She doubted it; GLaDOS didn't want to hasten her next death, after all. But even as Chell thought about it, she almost regretted that she would have to dismantle the robot once more. She knew she had to; what GLaDOS was doing was despicable, and Chell wouldn't stand for it.
But then again, GLaDOS had helped her on more than one occasion... and Caroline...
Caroline was still there.
Either way, Chell tried not to dwell on those thoughts as she followed Shadow into the next test chamber.
no subject
KABOOM.
Shadow flinched, whirling to the source of the noise: some sort of explosion that wound up in a tile in the ceiling dropping. Something dropped along with the panel, yet he couldn't place exactly what. What really threw him off was the seemingly harmless blue liquid that a nearby machine began transferring onto a wall panel.
Okay, that... was odd. Very odd, in fact. It wasn't the end of it, though. He had a feeling that blue light to the side had something to do with this material, but what?
Maybe...
Aha.
Shadow took the chance, firing a portal into the blue light. With a flick of his switch, he alternated to his second portal and fired that one into the blue liquid. Once the paint-like material was just above them, he cancelled his portal. Sure enough, it made the ground they stood on wet and blue and slippery as it fell beneath them. With a good sniff or two, he determined that this fluid was very much non-toxic.
Yes, now the cogs were beginning to roll. He tried to slide with the liquid and use the momentum to hop onto the nearby platform, but instead, wound up bouncing upon contact. Either way, it accomplished what he needed. A red button remained there, one that he discovered that, when pressed, changed the blue light to an orange one.
He looked to Chell and quirked a brow. Was there an orange liquid somewhere...?
no subject
Hopefully Shadow would catch on to what she was about to do. Another time she wished she could speak, but giving GLaDOS and Wheatley that satisfaction simply was not worth it.
They would need to combine their portals in order for Chell to travel through the opening of the glass panel, and Shadow would need to know when to reverse the funnel. But, she had a feeling she could trust him somewhat. He was at least intelligent, unlike Wheatley, whom she made the mistake of trusting at first.
Either way, she hopped into the excursion funnel and began floating through the air.
no subject
They were just going to have to find out. Shadow was going to have to utilize his portals in the very same positions, and once Chell passed through his first one, he had to relocate it and then reverse the portals. He did it just as he planned, placing them so that he would direct her to the source of the excursion funnel. Once she got through to the other side, he'd switch, and then he'd reverse at the right time.
One, two portals were fired, and he lied in wait. It was only a matter of time now...
no subject
She landed over in the next section of the room, being followed by globules of repulsion gel, as it splattered everywhere, giving her a good surface to bounce on. Jumping up to the next level, she found a small window where she could fire out a portal if she wanted to, and a button that released a cube. The cube, however, had to go on that button down below for Shadow to utilize it. By spawning another cube, though, the current one would disintegrate...
Chell tossed the cube through the window for Shadow to throw onto the button, and she shot out a Portal to the small patch of wall she had access to, enabling him to jump into the excursion funnel. Now she just had to wait for him to enter for her to continue.
((Note: You can have Chell successfully configure the portals and such, etc., for the next tag while Shadow's flying through the funnel thingy if you want. Just don't go through the door at the end because Jon wants to tag right before.))
[ got it! /o/ ]
This was so painfully simple that he had to wonder if GLaDOS was nearly as intelligent as she gave off. Pssh.
He smirked lightly. He held a lot of pride, especially being that he's trumping a supposed `super-computer` manufactured by humans. Not even she can best the Ultimate Life.
