1/One Question asked/Action/

[whatsinheeeere]

[[Curiosity core loves everything. Everything is just so interesting, she can never think of what she wantsto do first! Maybe go off and watch how paint dried? Or maybe she could ask whoever she met how many stars there were in space, or MAYBE she could go off and learn how to bake a cake and then find out how many cakes she could bake in a day! With a blindfold! On roller-skates! Outside! The possibilities of all the things she could do were endless, but instead of doing any of those things, she did what she thought would be the most important by the slimmest of margins! Explore this castle and find all the secret passageways! Even if there weren’t any secret passageways, there probably are emergency exits that she could pretend are secret passageways. If she were to encounter any of the people who lived in the castle, she’d probably want to ask them their name and if they knew any secret passageways. Maybe they would be willing to help her on the hunt to find them! They could maybe find a portal that leads them to other universes and then they could be like that storybook, Narnia. But first she would have to ask them how Narnia even works or what it even is.

Most important question: What is this place?

She started off, darting in and out of the castle hallways like a drunken little midget pretending to dodge imaginary turret beams and that slippery goo that sometimes test subjects use. Maybe she should ask someone what that goo was called! More questions! More more more! She better go off and begin to ask someone all these questions before she looses her mind and forgets!]]

[Wheatley would be in the lobby, as he always is with these situations. Honestly, the guy should probably stay out of the lobby because this is probably where all the bad things happen to him. First Chell, and now THIS. But the impending doom doesn't matter now because he would be pacing back and forth, writing in his clipboard and TALKING TO HIMSELF. He was preparing for a speech]

"Um... okay, okay okay, I've got it this time. Okay- I'll just say it to her. You- you see, You don't have to worry love, because you see I do have something under my sleeve. Or should I say In my sleeve. And it's called... A portal gun! Nono, that sounds absolutely stupid, okay, let's-let's try this again."

[whatsinheeeere]

[[A newcomer! She has to approach the man! He was the first one that she had seen, which gave her a bit of relief. She had no idea what she would do if she was all alone. Who would she ask questions to? Scuttling over to him, she speaks in a very loud yet cheerful voice.]]

"Hey! Who are you talking to?"

[wheatdos]

[Wheatley suddenly turns around, surprised.]

"Ah, noone- noone... How did- when, how long have you been standing there love?"

[He narrows his eyes suspiciously.]

[goodjumper]

[ Man, living in a castle that gives you whatever you wanted was amazing. Chell was just coming back from the kitchen, gleefully tossing an apple into the air and catching it as she went. She hadn't expected to see someone jumping around like that. Instinctually recognizing those evasive moves, Chell presses herself against a wall. When the sound of bullets or the high pitched calls of turrets didn't follow, Chell relaxed enough to glance around the corner at the new girl. ]

[whatsinheeeere]

"Ptchh! Ptchhkaka! Badadadadada!"

[[She continues to make those bullet noises with her mouth, until she would accidentally tumble into the lady's legs.]]

"Oof!"

[[She rolled around a few more times. Hello Chell, there's two big orange eyes looking at you. And those big eyes recognize you!]]

"Eee! You're that lady from the test! What are you doing here? You're still in uniform! Do you know where we are? I don't know where we are? Is this Aperture? What's your name? I still don't know your name!"

[goodjumper]

[ The apple falls from Chell's hands. No. No no she killed you. You were also a little metal core. She ducks back around the corner, and tries pinching herself. Nope, not dreaming. ]

[ the midnighter usually doesn't hang around the castle during the day, and not in his civs, but there's a first time for everything. he can currently be found in the lobby of the castle, reading a city newspaper. ]

[whatsinheeeere]

[[She wandered over to the stranger, managing to catch a glimpse of him as she was darting around the castle. With the biggest grin a girl could have, she would stand on her tiptoes and lean over the newspaper to interrupt whatever he was doing.]]

"Hey! Hey! Hey! What are you reading?"

[deminuit]

[ he lowers the newspaper slightly, eyeing this girl. ]

Too many heys.

[Herp-a-derp, Huey is out on another walk with his semi-intelligent Mark II, which has scooted ahead of him out of a childish sense of curiosity. It comes upon the Curiosity Core, and emits an alarmed noise while seeming to flail a bit in surprise before it scoots back to Huey, who is on the other end of the hallway from the curious core.]

What've you found this time, Mark II? [He looks down the hallway at the curiosity core.]

Oh, hi there! You must be new I bet.

[whatsinheeeere]

[[!!!] She dashes after this strange little thing when it begins to run away. When she catches up, she pokes at it with a big grin.]

"Hey! Hey mister! What's that? Is that a turret?"

[takethat]

[Don't mind Phoenix--he's just sitting on a bench in the lobby, doodling in a sketchpad.

That is until a crazy person goes running past.

And now he's just... staring.]


...okay then.

[whatsinheeeere]

[[She runs past once. And then twice! And then three times! And then four times! And then Five! But the fifth time she skids to a halt and locks her eyes on the newcomer! She'd run up to him just to crawl onto the bench and look over his shoulders at the doodles.]]

"Hey mister! What are you drawing? Are you an artist? I've never seen an artist before? Why do you have a suit? Are you going somewhere? Ooo! Ooo! Can I come?

[noblefive]

[Jorge pauses as someone runs right on past him. The 7'8" armoured space marine kinda stares for a second, but shrugs and keeps on moving.]

[whatsinheeeere]

[[She suddenly stops what she's doing and looks at the GIANT. He looks like a robot and she instantly generates a million questions to ask him. CC skips over to him and suddenly blocks his path.]]

"Woaaah! You're gigantic mister! How tall are you mister? Are you a robot?"

[demontobeloved]

[Someone shimmers into the lobby. Literally. Cole was feeling lazy, and just walks over to sit on one of the couches with a book.]

[whatsinheeeere]

[[CC sees the newcomer and stops what shes doing when she decides to follow. When he sat down, she would sit down right next to him and grin.]]

"Hey! Mister! What are you reading? What is that book about? You look tired, are you tired?"

[squirrelhunter]

Well, this is like a damn weirdo convention.

[Daryl's watching the little person run all over as he performs maintenance on his crossbow in the lobby.]

[whatsinheeeere]

[[CC is suddenly in Daryl's face invading all the personal space.]]

"Is that a weapon, mister? Why do you have a weapon? Are you going to shoot something? What are you going to shoot?"

Action//Curiosity core yay!

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade's headed for the kitchen when he spots a little child running around, seeming to be lost in her own fantasy world. It was rare to see a child, at least for him. He was sure there were some other kids running around, but Jade wasn't really a kid person, specifically since he was mute now. He watched her a moment, wondering just what was going on in her little mind that required such tenacious tucking and rolling.]

Action!

[whatsinheeeere]

[[She rolls around like a little ball until she finally spots the guy watching her. CC jumps to her feet and like a spitfire, she dashes over to him and waves. She was just so bubbly!]]

"Hello mister! How are you? What is your name? You're very tall you know! Do people tell you that you're tall?"

When I read this all I could think was "curiosity killed the cat"... :P

[Harry was on his way to the pool. He had a duffel bag swung over his shoulder. After he had walked down the stairs he noticed a red haired girl running around the room. He glanced over at him before he continued on his way.]

x]

[whatsinheeeere]

[[Right as he went off to continue on his way, he'd see the little girl blocking his path.]]

"Hey! Hey! Hey mister! Hello! How are you? What's in there?"

[[She points to the duffel bag.]]

[doublethefun]

[have a royal blue pony trotting down the hall with a couple of books floating behind her.]

[whatsinheeeere]

[[Oh goodness! CC generates a million questions immediately when she sees this pony. She had never seen anything like it, her questions expanding exponentially. While she was running to her, she found it hard to even think of which one to ask first!]]

"Hey! Hello! Wow! You look cool lady! How are you? What are you? Are those wings? Wow is that a crown? Are you royalty? What's that?"

[[CC points to her horn.]]
