026 - The Sounds of Traffic and Ocean Surf [Backdated to this morning]

[silentrunning]

[Chell's in a new place. And as usual when she's in a new place, she's exploring.

She'd slipped down to the lobby and picked up a travel brochure. And now, ensconced in a comfy armchair, she's reading it. But she's come upon a problem. Everything sounds so completely amazing. Everything sounds like something she'd want to do. So, picking up her journal, she pens a message.]

I picked up a book about this place, but everything sounds so good and so fun. So, I've decided just to explore and see what I can see. Would anyone like to go with me?

[He's had enough beating himself up for now. He doesn't get why she'd want to hang out with him, but he's not one to question it either.]

We'll have to see, no real destination in mind.

[silentrunning]

Me either. Mind if I tag along?

[She grins.]

This is the first time I've been in a place like this.

[whistles_the_blues]

Do what you want, I wont stop you.

[That's about as close to a yes as you'll get.]

Hm. It's been a long time since the last time.

[silentrunning]

[Good! Because she took it as a yes and is calmly strolling along behind him, sketching stuff into the corner. The first time she sees a car, she just stares.]

What... is that thing?

[whistles_the_blues]

...A car, a vehicle people use it for transportation.

[Okay that was strange, she didn't exactly look like she was from a time before cars came around.]

[silentrunning]

[She nods.]

How do they keep from going at a high enough velocity to cause... wait nevermind... That's not enough of a velocity to cause problems, unless they hit one another.

[And portals don't exist here, Chell.]

[whistles_the_blues]

...I imagine that's what the breaks are for?

[What even are you talking about Chell?]

[silentrunning]

Oh thank goodness. I was worried they didn't have a way to stop.

[Terminal velocity. :P]

I was worried because I worried they were going fast enough to hit terminal velocity... but then, there are no portals here...

[whistles_the_blues]

...Hrm. How would portals effect how fast they were going?
