[ Besides leaving her room for food, GLaDOS has been holed up in her room for the past while. If one could actually get in, they would see papers on every surface available, each labelled differently. She did vividly recall what her creations back at her facility were made of, but the problem was obtaining the materials. She had heard of 'wishing', but in her opinion, that was extremely ridiculous. Who knew if it even worked, and if it did, were the objects reliable? The former AI was still convinced that whoever had done this to them was toying with them, evidently, as it was scientifically impossible. Unless the technology really was advanced and had mind-reading capacities, but GLaDOS vehemently denied that as well. Even though she was human now, she still had a sense of pride for being the most advanced technology everywhere.

Right now, she's poring over her notes, unsure if she should even bother speaking to the residents. Eventually, she gives in, neatly writing in some filters. ]

[ Everyone except for Wheatley ]

I've heard from a few residents that there is some sort of 'wishing' process in this castle. I would like to hear more about it.

[ Maya ]

[ She clears her throat, finding it extremely odd speaking to a human in a convincingly friendly manner, but knowing how useful the girl could be, she had to at least attempt. ]

Hello. How have you been holding up?

You wish for something, and you get it. That's all there is to it.

There are limitations, however.

So, you're telling me it just appears.

And what limitations are you talking about?

Edited 2012-06-12 21:32 (UTC)

Poof, just like that.

Well for starters, you can't wish for weapons or anything excessively large, or too much at once.

[ She supposes she'll just give it a shot later and see if he's telling the truth. ]

I suppose that's to prevent fighting.

Although, wishing for materials to build weapons would be possible, then?

It should be. More important parts might be harder to acquire, though.

If you wanted to build a missile or a reactor, uranium would be hard to come by.

Hm, I see. So, in theory, as long as it isn't initially dangerous or large, it can be wished for.

That doesn't sound too bad. It seems easy to work around. [ Her voice takes a satisfied tone. ]

You're right on both counts.

What do you need to wish for?

I'll likely be wishing for metals and such. I'm going to begin rebuilding a few things from back home.

[ Perhaps having to build from scratch would be tough, but as long as the end results would work, she was up for doing so. ]

[guess who hasn't made the connection yet? You know, if Wheatley wants to properly warn people about someone, he should at least give them some details to work with. Sooooo have a Maya blindly replying to the filter in a more genuinely friendly tone]

Oh, hey! I've been doing good! What about you?

[ Trying to keep a genuine friendly tone up. She's used to being sarcastic or just plain mean, or an extreme sweet that was also mean, given you said the right things. ]

I've been doing quite well, actually. I've been busy, but it's nothing I can't handle. [ To be honest, the prospect of building up some defense for her room and such was a good improvement to her usually downcast mood. ] We could... eat sometime, if you'd like.

[ Because she didn't know what other activities they could do together that wouldn't be a complete waste of time. Also, maybe by 'befriending' Maya, she would find a way to get up to speed with that the moron was doing. ]

Busy? Doing what kind of stuff....

Oh! I know, that's a great plan! You can tell me all about what you've been up to over lunch.

Yes, that's fine by me. Where shall we eat? [ She's a bit paranoid about leaving her room, but as long as the birds following her could stay outside, maybe she would be safe. ]

[hmmm, Maya ponders possibilities]

We could be boring and eat at the kitchen... or we can always go into town if you want! I know some great burger joints.

[ Into town? Her voice suddenly gets a little strained. ]

I would... prefer not going outside. Maybe being boring would be a better idea.

[ Her fear of those birds stalking her possibly swooping down on her and pecking her to death wasn't exactly helping. ]

Huh? Ooookay, inside it is. [oh but she can't help but be curious...]

What's wrong with outside?

The problem with outside is birds.

[ She doesn't realize how paranoid she sounds. Oh, GLaDOS... ]

They're stalking me through every window they can.

[w....hat..... ahahaha....ha....ha]

Birds are... following you? Are you sure? It might just be a coincidence.

No, it isn't a coincidence. I've been a victim of birds enough times to know. [ Well, at least that isn't a lie, but she isn't helping her case... ]

... And I'm sure. They weren't following me before. [ She held back from snapping at her, knowing it wouldn't be much help, but the topic of birds was... difficult. ]

I didn't know they attack people like that.

[huh... she seems really adamant about this]

Maybe we should work on building you a bird protector! Like... a tiny portable scarecrow?

[ It seemed that this girl finally understood the havoc birds could cause. ]

... Maybe that would be a good idea for later. But I'm not going outside until that's made. [ She sounds like a stubborn child, doesn't she? GLaDOS thinks she's being perfectly reasonable... ~~sigh~~ ]

[Maya laughs in a slightly friendly way and concedes]

Alright then, to the kitchen!

I'll see you there.

[ And indeed, she heads for the kitchen, wondering if Maya was already there or not when she made it to the doorway. ]

[luckily, Maya wasn't far, she she gets to the kitchen a bit before GLaDOS. She was contemplating all the food inside the fridge before she hears footsteps. The sounds makes her close the door of the fridge, wave, and jog over]

Hey! Good to see you.

[ She tries a smile in return to Maya's. She needs to be "friendly", after all ]

Hello... did you find food? [ She's hungry, sue her. Also, she's not quite good at small talk yet... ]

I found some options! There's ramen up in one of those cupboards, but there's also a lot of sandwich stuff here in the fridge if you're in the mood for that.

[ GLaDOS has no idea what ramen is, so she decides to go the safe route. ]

I'll make a sandwich. You can have what you want. [ She heads for the fridge and starts taking out cold cuts, lettuce and the like. Mind you, she knows next to nothing about making food. ]

I think I'll have a sandwich too. [she heads for the bread, and after grabbing a loaf from a cupboard, she'll set it down next to all of GLaDOS's stuff..... after considering all the cold cuts, Maya decides that is not nearly enough, and heads to the fridge for more meat :3]

[ GLaDOS supposes she has to start making the sandwich, now that everything is out. Oh boy.

After searching for and finding a knife, she starts to cut the bread into four slices, leaving two to the side for Maya to make her own sandwich. She takes some of the coldcuts, sloppily piling them on top of one of her slices, along with random sandwich stuff like tomatoes and lettuce. She looks pretty concentrated. ]

[maya starts piling her sandwich hiiiiiiigh, like... as much meat as you can imagine. She glances over at GLaDOS and makes a playful tsking noise]

You're going to starve with that much food! You need way way more. Here, like this! [ahaha, she'll reach over and put some of her extra meat on her sandwich.... I'm so sorry]

[ GLaDOS is bewildered, and she is SO tempted to say something.

Something concerning overweight humans.

But she bites her tongue, refraining from speaking. ]

Oh? ...... Thank you. [ she forces out, having trouble being so cordial. ]

Are you really eating that? [ she asks Maya, seriously wondering how the girl would manage. ]

Of course! [she gives GLaDOS a thumbs up]

I have a separate stomach for sandwiches.

[ Considering that couldn't be humanly possible, GLaDOS supposes that this girl just... have a ravenous appetite. ]

... I see. Do you like sandwiches that much? [ she has to ask, as she closes her own, wondering how she would even finish it. ~~y u put so much meat in it maya~~ ]

I love food. Sandwiches, being a distant cousin of the scrumptious burger, do get an added bonus, but I try to be fair with my love of food.

[she grins, kind of joking but kind of not really] I really just love meat.

[ Well. This proved all of her points that humans really enjoyed food. GLaDOS glances at Maya before looking back at her sandwich, unsure. Well, she had to at least try; she was hungry, after all. ]

I noticed. [ She goes back into the fridge. ] Do you want something to drink with it?

[ Holding up this polite front was getting a bit easier, although it still just wasn't her. ]

[you are doing a good job, GLaDOS! Maya is having fun, and she considers the option for nodding]

Water sounds good. Want me to grab some glasses?

Yes, that would be helpful. [ GLaDOS nods, heading into the fridge to get a pitcher of water. She places it on the counter. ]

Here it is. [ She's looking forward to eating. Also, maybe also seeing Maya actually eat her sandwich. ]

[oh GLaDOS... she'll put down the glasses, and sit down to start chowing down :3 She'll do so in... the least graceful way possible....... WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GIRL]

Thanks! [lala, putting down her sammich and pouring herself that glass of water]

[ Needless to say, GLaDOS watches her with a raised eyebrow, almost mesmerized by how messily she actually ate, before shaking it off and taking small bites of her own. ]

... You're welcome. [ she forces out, pouring herself some water once Maya was done. ]

You really do have quite an appetite, don't you. [ Nope, it's not even a question. ]

Of course! [she salutes] I'm a growing girl after all, I need to get my protein.
