CLOSED LOOP

[capemods]

[Fifteen minutes after a final, admittedly painful electric shock dealt to anyone who still has a power that isn't theirs (and a few scattered people who don't, just for kicks), all communicators hooked up to the network buzz and crackle, quickly taken over by an all-too familiar voice.]

That was a fun little experiment. I can only hope the rats remember the maze for the next run!

So tell me, pawns. Did you enjoy the twists and turns, or was getting lost too much of an ordeal? Not that I care, mind you, but I'm sure voicing your outrage would make you feel better.

[OOC; Powerswitch event is now officially closed! If you were involved, feel free to backdate, but that was the end of the line for new swaps. Thanks for you time, interest, and making this thing rock. ♥ ... Despite the wording, this isn't actually a feedback post. There'll be one of those in OOC when I get a moment. Thanks for your patience!]

Wow, okay, what.

[oww-myhead.livejournal.com]

That's the porter. She's kind of ... well, you know. I'd say something insulting, but she might get. Y'know. Insulted.

[shinygreenjesus.livejournal.com]

She's kind of straight out of freaking System Shock you mean?! Jesus.

[oww-myhead.livejournal.com]

She makes Shodan look like a sweetheart who bakes cookies for orphans.

[shinygreenjesus.livejournal.com]

... so...

She makes SHODAN look like GLaDOS?

[capemods]

Those orphans died a week later, I'll have you know. She's not a terribly good chef.

[shinygreenjesus.livejournal.com]

Well, no, the song says something about injector needles and fish shaped solid waste.

Though that leaves the question of whether or not SHODAN could in fact make better cake than GLaDOS.

She did make delicious potato chips.

[capemods]

Oh, you're going to have a great time here, aren't you?

[shinygreenjesus.livejournal.com]

I'm having a blast already.

[oww-myhead.livejournal.com]

No. GLaDOS is actually here, by the way.

[shinygreenjesus.livejournal.com]

... what.

[oww-myhead.livejournal.com]

Seriously.

[shinygreenjesus.livejournal.com]

The next thing you know you're going to tell me that I don't know, Obi Wan or Palpatine are here.

[oww-myhead.livejournal.com]

...Well, now that you mention it, so's Vader.

digital voice; // i've had people recognize her before but not tell her she's from a game

[voice] okay; will avoid mention of game if you want. s-sorry for jumping the gun like that D:

[shinygreenjesus.livejournal.com]

...

Wow.

No, um. M'am. Not a problem at all.

You sing very well, by the way.

digital voice; wow totally messed up that tag orz

ARE YOU A FORMER APERTURE SCIENCE TEST PARTICIPANT DO I KNOW YOU
HOW ABOUT A SCIENTIST YOU'RE NOT A TECHNICIAN ARE YOU





ooc; don't worry about it teal mdear! the way i've had people swing it is that they can definitely know about and reference her game world, etc and can show that they have knowledge about it. i'd just like to avoid the reference directly to her (it can happen behind private filters though to other people) that she's from a game. i get that she's a good popculture reference especially in a game with grinbitch in it, so i don't want to be like NONE WHATSOEVER. sound good?

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

Would you like to expand on that comment?

[fff don't have permission from Tussah to fourthwall orz]

[shinygreenjesus.livejournal.com]

Er... SHODAN is a video game villainess who talks a lot like this chick.

lol well Cameron is just like "WHAT about my friend?"

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

I am not interested in SHODAN, I am interested in your comment about GLaDOS.

[/t-tries not to go into LOL SHES FROM A GAEM territory until she gets a y/n on that]

[shinygreenjesus.livejournal.com]

Uh...

I hear she makes cake?

[sorry cameron will keep poking at it]

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

Do you have a reason to dislike GLaDOS?

She makes very good cake.

[capemods]

Yes, let's all make one word exclamations until they make sense when strung together! That will fix everything!

[shinygreenjesus.livejournal.com]

Yes, let's pretend we're all high and mighty with ambiguous sarcasm in an attempt to scare the shit out of everyone. In fact, let us cackle gleefully at the little chess pawns while we're at it.

At least you super villains could try to be creative once in a while.

[capemods]

Just because you're genre-savvy doesn't mean you're intelligent, boy. And you'd do well to remember it.
