[half-life-verbatim]

Hello Gordon!

Welcome to Half-Life: Verbatim, a silly au sort of thing run by @myepicgameshow . HL:V is a love letter and Tribute to HLVRAI, and AU's I've taken comfort in, on that note let's set down some rules. - Please do NOT be weird about my characters

- The story will run in Chapters each labeled and such in the tags

- Do not interact with this blog if your account is Nsfw in anyway

- Please don’t ship any characters not explicitly stated to be in a relationship (feel free to ask if you’re not sure!)

- everything (hopefully) will be probably tagged, if a character is talking it will be tagged with their name, if it’s art it’ll be tagged art, etc

- Please don’t rush me! :(

CHAPTERS :

- None yet!

That’s all for me! Thanks for reading

Go to the lab -🎸

You decide the scary hallway is MUCH to scary for you, you might see something you aren’t supposed to see! So you head towards the lab.

You do not make it very fair before there is a CREATURE that jumps at you

FUCKASS HEADCRAB: [SCREEEECCHHHH]

DOC RAZZ: OH DEAR GOD

The headcrab does not go for your head, unlike normal headcrabs. He stands on your chest and tippy tappies his front legs, as of expecting something from you.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

[half-life-verbatim]

SCARY HALLWAY! SCARY HALLWAY!

DOC RAZZ: Aye aye!

You start to make your way down the scary hallway, you can hear your footsteps echoing as you walk in deeper and deeper. You realize the deeper in you go the darker it gets, it continues to get harder and harder to see.

DOC RAZZ: Ah haha! This kind of sucks?

As you continue on you see the glint of yellow better, along with…. A figure.

????: YOU SHOULDN’T BE HERE.

Before you can speak, they snap their fingers.

After a bit of walking, elevatoring and doorsing you find yourself in a split path of two doors. One way is labeled “LAB” other labeled “THE SCARY HALLWAY” You can’t help but feel a bit of dejavú…

WHICH WAY DO YOU GO?

[half-life-verbatim]

Doctor Razz, what’s in the “SCARY HALLWAY”?

DOC RAZZ: I’m very glad you ask voice that sounds like it’s inside my head and all around me!

You take a very good a long look at the scary hallway

DOC RAZZ: Upon my further inspection there seems to be darkness in the scary hallway! I can also make out faint yellow lights! There is also an occasional SLUDGING SOUNDS. Not particularly scary to me!

What do you do now?

[half-life-verbatim]

jump DOWN.

You fall to the ground in a manner that no normal human should be able to, it’s as if you simply have no bones. How did you do that.

WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?

[half-life-verbatim]

jump UP

You do a little jump, nothing else happens.

WHAT DO YOU DO NOW.

[half-life-verbatim]

Give them a high five with the ROBOT ARM

Instead of going off to your VERY SECRET EXPERIMENT you raise your robot hand and high-five your girlfriend.

EMBER LILE: ????? T-Thank you?????

DOC RAZZ: Anything for you darling 💓💓💖💖💕💞💞💘💝💝💘💘❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💗💖💖❣️💕💕💘💘💝💘💖💞💞💞

EMBER LILE: ghow did you say that with your mouth.

You do not answer

EMBER LILE: ….

EMBER LILE: Well… you should really be on y-your way, dear… here

She leans in and plants a kiss on your cheek

DOC RAZZ: !!!

DOC RAZZ: daaauhhhh….. I’ll see you later then…………….

You wave as you walk away, heading off down another hallway.

After a bit of walking, elevatoring and doorsing you find yourself in a split path of two doors. One way is labeled “LAB” other labeled “THE SCARY HALLWAY”

WHICH WAY DO YOU GO?

[half-life-verbatim]

say hi to this someone

While their back is turned you come up behind them and grab them in a hug, assisted by your ROBOT ARM

SOMEONE: GAAAAAAH

DOC RAZZ: Hello darling! Miss me?

The human you are currently holding is your girlfriend EMBER LILE, you both had been mutually pining for a very long time before realizing your feelings for each other.

EMBER LILE: Razz! H-Hi nice to see you uhm. I think you might b-be late, no time to talk!

That is true, you are late for you not corn and crystal experiment but there’s no hurt in being even more late right?

WHAT DO YOU DO?

[half-life-verbatim]

Good morning. You are LATE!

Your name is Dr. R. Razz, you are one of the lead scientist for a SECRET PROJECT at Black Mesa’s Ohio division (you swear it has nothing to do with copious amounts of corn and a strange crystal. You swear.) You’ve been finding yourself late to work these days, you aren’t fully sure why! Maybe it is the late nights you’ve been staying up, or the fact that you get stuck in traffic a lot. Who knows!

Anyway, as your shoes tap against the floor you come face to face with your hurdle, WORK SECURITY. As you walk up to a door, you are stopped by a grey person.

RANDOM GAURD: Oh- Hey, can I see your ID please?

DOC RAZZ: OF COURSE, my grey friend!

You pull out your security card from god knows where, you have no pockets and your sure you didn’t put this in your coat this morning.

Your ID is a few years old, now that you’ve worked here for a few years, look how darling you are here!

RANDOM GUARD: Alright, just had to check, management has been on my ass about looking at IDs they ‘Don’t want a repeat of the evil milk situation’ I mean, how was anyone supposed to know that guy had an evil virus on him?

The guard turns and unlocks the door for you, you give them a curt wave as you walk away. And then you start running again. As you use your legs to propel yourself like a magnificent horse you spot someone you know

SOMEONE: ….

SOMEONE: !..

WHAT DO YOU DO?
