smash_logs | 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.

"NOBODY ASKED YOU!" Eggman shouted angrily as his robot walked towards the second target and pointed. Once both portals were in place, it walked onto the bounce plate and launched through the portals to the upper ledge.

"Well? HURRY UP! I haven't got all day!"

Sonic had walked through the Emancipation grid without thinking much about it. He was curious as to what it was, moving back and forth through the wavy barrier once Eggman had gotten to the other side.

Ugh, BUT THAT GRATING VOICE... Was he REALLY going to have to do this for who knows how long with Eggman hounding him every second?

"Alright, alright! Turn the volume down on that thing! Cripes."

Sonic wasn't entirely sure what to do. He walked back to where the portals were supposed to be, but...

Wait, what?

"Oh, come on!" Sonic seemed to be yelling at no one in particular. "There has to be a way I can just run this one out!"

"DO I HAVE TO DO ALL THE THINKING FOR YOU?!" Eggman shouted, completely ignoring Sonic's inquiry about the volume. If he turned the volume down, how could he yell at this stupid hedgehog as effectively?

Using a beacon tool installed on the portal gun, he pointed at two locations. "There. Shoot portals at those and HURRY UP! That computer isn't going to KILL HERSELF!"

Sonic's expression in Eggman's general direction was lacking much in the usual line of blue enthusiasm. The hero, the optimist, and all the in between was thoroughly fed up. He figured by now he could get out of here alone. ~~Little did he know...~~ He wasn't limited to any average hedgehog's capabilities, after all.

"Whaaaaat?" Sonic began, lifting a hand to his ear. "You're so obnoxious I can't hear ya!"

"I COULD STILL SHOOT YOU, YOU KNOW!!" he bluffed.

"Oh yeah? Then why don't you come down here and shoot me to my face?" Well, wasn't he just obviously up to something.

That was all Eggman could take. The robot hopped down from the ledge, back to join Sonic, arming its wrist gun. "DON'T TEMPT ME, RAT!!"

Good enough!

Sonic was done dealing with this idiot and, psh, who needs these stupid portal guns to get somewhere? He was SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, FASTEST THING ALIVE. Physics meant nothing to him.

He maneuvered about as well as Eggman was used to, picking up speed and using it to launch himself right up one wall, forcing himself off to land onto the ledge above where Eggman's bot had just been. Sonic looked down at him with a little grin and a wave.

Oh that was it. Eggman's robot launched another pair of portals and launched itself back up to where Sonic stood. "You think you're PRETTY CLEVER, don't you?" he asked.

Oh.

Right.

Portals.

....

Sonic took his portal gun and just CHUCKED IT at the robot's head. He stretched his arms behind his head and sighed. He guessed this wasn't really getting them anywhere, but the satisfaction was nice.

"Okay, enough messin' around!" Sonic announced, looking at the new platform and eyeing the door down the way. That must be the exit.

"Agreed," Eggman said. "But first..."

He shoved Sonic off the platform back down where he started.
