chell: why aren’t we waking the daddy? why must the daddy not be woken?
wilson: well, in the fiction of the game, he’ll see us and get us in trouble for being up past bedtime.
chell: so he’s an authority figure? he will punish us if we aren’t following his rules.
wilson: uh… yes. but it’s all fiction—
chell: *unbends a paperclip and pokes the daddy* I stab the daddy, fictionally.
who are the top three people you would like to hug?
3. Dorothy Rattmann ( @therattsden )
Saving Chell’s life is a great way to make her hug you and never let go of you ever again. I hope Dorothy likes strong arms and being clung to for all eternity! Because that’s what’s happening.
2. Wilson P. Higgsbury ( @scienceofsurvival and @scientificallystarving )
Cute man who is definitely not a scientist! At all.
…Also *cough cough* he’s the only other person on this godforsaken island *cough cough* so. Uh.
(I tagged both of my Wilsons because including DSRP in this ask just wouldn’t be fair)
And the number one spot goes to… *drumroll…*
1. Gordon Freeman ( @rxguephysicist )
Gordon is a tiny delicate marshmallow. He will be hugged and cuddled into submission whether he wants it or not. When he’s good, his reward is hugs. When he’s bad (AKA risking his life again), his punishment is more hugs.
(barney would be on this list but I didn’t want to tag the same mun twice)

Ever since she had claimed the park for herself, Chell had taken up memorizing the faces of everyone who “visited.” And they were visiting; she wholeheartedly believed that claiming the park made it legally hers and everyone else were just guests.
Guests, not trespassers. She was more than happy to welcome them no matter how many there were. It was nice to have people around. More people than she ever thought possible. In Aperture, she’d pictured perhaps a dozen at the most on the whole of the planet, but...there had to be at least four or five hundred of them for this many to be at the park!
And every time they were new people, new faces, entire new batches of new human beings. They were standoffish. They didn’t like to come back. Sometimes people would return once or twice, usually the kids, but...they didn’t make it routine.
Except one person.
One person habitually made his way across the park, into the library and grocery stores next door. At first she had caught sight of him by chance but, after she picked up on his schedule, Chell started intentionally standing in plain sight as he passed by. Always in the park, often in the same spot, following him with her eyes as he went by.
Was it worth trying to interact with him...? Everyone else so far had pushed her away and she had no idea why. Chell decided it was best to wait for him to approach her first so as not to scare him off. Maybe humans were just very easy to scare and that’s why nobody wanted to be her friend.
Interdimensional Travel 101

“Okay, Spengs, we should be all set for a test run!”
“It’s looking good from my side, too. Ray, you should let the others know in case of... unexpected results.”
The two men were standing by a large metal structure that dominated much of their lab. Egon peered at a computer screen, checking on readings and data from the machine, while Ray was closing an instrument panel, having finished his tinkering. “I dunno, Egon,” he said. “We put several safety measures into place. It should be fine!”
Egon straightened up from the computer and looked at Ray with a frown. “Yes, but we have no idea which dimension it may link to. It could range anywhere from completely benign to unimaginably hostile.”
Another voice interrupted from the doorway. “Okay, what unnecessarily dangerous thing are we doing today?” Ray and Egon turned to see Venkman peering in, staring apprehensively at their machine. “No big words, please. I just want to know how worried I should be.”
“Well, in short, it’s an interdimensional portal,” Ray explained, gesturing to it. “It’ll let us study other dimensions all we like, with very little risk!”
“Uhh-huh.”
Egon nodded. “Our plan is to send in automated drones and probes to gather data for us, while monitoring and restraining the cross-dimensional rip to prevent anything too unfriendly from getting in here.”
“We were just about to run a preliminary test!” Ray added cheerfully.
“See, this is why we don’t leave you two alone in a room together for too long,” Peter quipped. “You start getting up to something, and next thing we know you’ll be sticking your arms into some hell dimension just ‘cause you can.”
“We were going to inform you before starting the test,” Egon said, raising an eyebrow. “In case of potentially dangerous outcomes.”
“How very considerate,” said Peter. “Tell you what. I’m going to go get a proton pack, ‘cause I don’t wanna be sitting there picking my nose when some interdimensional horror pops in here and starts chewing on the furniture.”
He turned and headed for the stairs. Through the doorway, Winston could be seen following. “They’re doing what now?”
“Oh, just ripping a hole between dimensions. No big deal.”
“Okay, yeah, I’m definitely with you on that whole ‘being armed’ thing.”
Ray and Egon exchanged looks, the former shrugging. “I mean, it couldn’t hurt, right?”
“...I guess. It’s somewhat redundant though, since we’ve calibrated the portal to prevent any significant danger.”
“Eh, it makes them happy.”
My part of a sketch-for-color trade with @scientificallystarving!
She wanted a moment from this RP in which Internationale is badass, Wilson is rather surprised, and some guards have a bad day
EDIT: i somehow forgot to draw one of the sleeves on one of the guards??? it’s fixed now; i’m mostly laughing at how silly that was
