family reunion day 1;

[estival]

[It's a beautiful morning, shaping up to be a hot and humid day, as so many summer days at the Blind Buffalo Resort are. The piles and piles of people arriving in their cars to check in at the modest front office make it a noisy morning too, full of chatter and greetings from those who have long been apart. There isn't enough room in the office for everyone, so there's spillover of the crowd to outside, and a noise crowd jammed inside the room.

[ GLaDOS would arrive shortly after checking in, wanting to unpack her own possessions.

And would raise an eyebrow at how Renee snagged the biggest bed. ]

Are you sharing all of that room with someone? [ she would inquire, not one for keeping up with all of these distant family relations. She's not one for greeting people warmly, either. ]

[alwaysaquestion]

[Renee looks up from her suitcase and smirks.]

Wasn't planning on it. Why, was that an offer? [Obviously she's joking. No one said she had to play nice just because she's with family.]

[sawadeertoday]

No, I think I'll be fine. I just can't help but feel bad for anyone who might need the bed more than you do. Like the moron over there. [ That awkward tall blond guy over there? Yup, that's him.

And no worries; she doesn't play nice either. ] Knowing him, he'll probably complain all night if he doesn't have it.

[ She's not even being nice about Wheatley and he's her husband. ]

[alwaysaquestion]

Well, if anything it'll be a good learning experience for him and next year he can get here first and get dibs.

[Complaining doesn't bother her. She has ear plugs handy if she needs them.]

Aperture Cabin = BED WARS x'D

[sawadeertoday]

[ Aaand GLaDOS shrugs. After all, she's not about to end up in a war with someone. She could always find a sneakier way to get back at her later. ] Suit yourself.

[ She heads to a moderate-sized bed and heaves her small suitcase on top, beginning to unpack her own things. ]

But really, aren't terms like 'dibs' used by children? [ she added in a pleasant, conversational tone. ]

we are so classy

[alwaysaquestion]

[Renee rolls her eyes and goes back to unpacking. But the tension in her shoulders were a tell of how irritated she was getting. Now she remembers why she hates coming to these things.]

Say what you want, the bed is still mine. [And if she's aware of how childish she's behaving she just chalks it up to making the best out of a bad situation. For herself.]

the classiest, clearly :'>

[sawadeertoday]

[ GLaDOS can't help it; she gains some satisfaction in how she can see Renee's shoulders tense up. So she smiles a little to herself as she pulls out some more clothes. ]

Oh no, you can keep the bed. Don't worry about it. [ Acting like she's a child with a condescending tone? Check. ]

[alwaysaquestion]

[That's it, no more family get togethers after this. Gren and Conan will just have to come visit her instead.]

Oh, don't worry about that. I won't. [And if she closes a drawer a little harder than she meant to? Oh well, she needs to take her aggressions out on something.]

[sawadeertoday]

[ Actually, this family get together was starting on a good note... at least, on GLaDOS' side. Even if she wouldn't be getting the bigger bed. ]

That's good! I wouldn't want you to be concerned about me. [ The drawer banging shut makes her lips twitch upwards. Hm, maybe she could save her first impressions of this trip yet... ]

[alwaysaquestion]

Good, so I won't have to tell you not to hold your breath. [She's going to kill her brother for dragging her here.]

[sawadeertoday]

[ GLaDOS loves this kind of banter! But considering Renee didn't give her much to bounce off of, she began to hum cheerfully instead as she headed to her own drawers, beginning to organize her clothes. As much as she loved to argue, she wouldn't say anything dumb. ]

[alwaysaquestion]

[The lack of reply sort of throws her off. She was just getting used to the flow of banter.]

What? Cat got your tongue all of a sudden?

[sawadeertoday]

Hm? Oh, I'm sorry; I didn't realize you liked me so much you wanted a reply already.

[ she spoke with a mock-innocent tone, stuffing the last of her clothes in the drawer. ]

[alwaysaquestion]

[Yes, that is Renee's eye twitching slightly.]

I just to see if you really do give up that easily.

[sawadeertoday]

Give up? I didn't know this was a contest. [ And she would close the drawer gently in contrast to Renee's earlier slam. ]

[alwaysaquestion]

It's not a contest it's...[She sighs and zips up her suitcase. Gren was always telling her to know when to walk away.]

Know what? Forget it.
