*she's beyond impressed and eager, she sighs contently as the smell floats around them* GLaDOS would get better results if she used pie instead of cake. Where did you even get an entire pie anyways? Is it poisoned? Made out of epoxy and asbestos? *she eyes it again* Eh, if it takes as good as it smells, it'll be a fine death!

It’s the usual way I do it, you know we’ve done it dozens of times. *sits down, laying the box on the ground and patting the ground next to him* We’ll die of a sugar overdose, or a deliriousness overdose.

*she works on detangling the lake soaked mess of hair on her head and eyes the box* Oh? What did you steal? *laughing, she thinks on it* Hope it isn't tracked.

Oh please, as if they would track something as innocent as this. *Opens the box aaaaaaaand, PIE! A whole apple pie, the smell from it wafting through the air already*

I thought it was sweet to do this one last time, as we probably won’t come across one for a long time.

*one particularly tiny bird tries snuggling into sarin's collar while veloce giggles. GLaDOS takes hardly a pause to answer* It is dirty, and full of birds. And potentially dead children. No.

Sarin: Aww, hi, you’re cute~

-----

Oh... But it will be an adventure... A Science adventure. Yes, an adventure in the name of science. *yeah that’ll work*

[kittysubz]

*veloce grabs the skull and carries it with her* I'ma toss it off the walks! *no problem there. GLaDOS fumbles on her speech trying to get a word in, she waits until his small panic is over* The child is chipped, she will regenerate. If it matters, they took the path within the living quarters. Though I am curious why you agreed to watch it. Careless mother, truly.

Sarin: Aw yeah, see it smash~

---

Neuro: You are not saying she is careless because she left her with me, right? I am normally good at this! *start off towards that direction.*

[testsubjectjohnsmith]

Yeah. *still unsure of the old man* Hope he's alone, heh. Let's go! *she resumes her position and after learning her lesson last time, clings to john from behind. she offers the best directions she can, towards the hidden lake she remembers. apparently not too far, five miles at best* We should go swimming! I bet the water is clean, there's no people around to muck it up.

I was hoping you said that! *has to shout a bit to get over the noise of the engine* I should hope so! With all the stuff Aperture’s been pumping into us, something clean would be nice! *gives a bit more gas to make it all go a little quicker. stupid old man ruining things... was so close to something perfect*

[testsubjectjohnsmith]

*the old man frowns, but then offers a smile* If ya say so, kids. *cat looks back, glaring, but with some hidden concern* He's weird. *mumbled* Suppose we should go ahead some more and make camp? Unless you like old creepy hobo man for a neighbor.

*nods, making his way back to the motor* Usually I’m all for friendly talk and all, curious about, wanting to know more but for once... I’m fine walking away for our own needs. *is a bit annoyed, ruined a good mood, grumbles*

[testsubjectjohnsmith]

*she runs her face into the grass and makes muffled happy noises* I could lay here for days. *her head lifts suddenly* I hope this is real, this better be real.

You don’t think... *his eyes dart around for a second, searches in the gras for a pebble or a rock, then flings it as hard as he can into a direction*

[kittysubz]

*veloce grins, a little too much like her mother. she starts running in circles* Let's go let's go! I get to fly! *she grabs sarin's hands as she rushes around* When I get good at flying I'll fly you everywhere!

Sarin: Yay!

Neuro: Does your mother make long fall boots for children? Oh this is a bad idea...

Sarin: You’re not backing out are you daddy?!

Neuro: No, just... We must do this safely...
