What is Love? [Valentine's Date Event]

It's shaping up to be another average day on the Transmigration 9. Crew members are going about their business as usual and all is (to most appearances, at least) about as "well" as things ever are on the ship.

Some crew members are going to be stopped out of the blue by impact with a force field.

"Attention Crewmen: You have been chosen to participate in an experiment!" GLaDOS's voice informs. They're not alone, someone else that was nearby is also caught within the same narrow radius. "Participation is mandatory. Please try to relax and enjoy the experience, as this will improve the quality of the test results."

Clearly this is going to be a wonderful day for science.

"You and your new scientific partner are now on a date," GLaDOS goes on. "As it would be detrimental to our study of the date experience if you were to be separated, you must remain close to your partner for the duration of the experiment. This will be enforced with the Transmigration 9 Crewman Containment Field. Prolonged exposure to the Transmigration 9 Crewman Containment Field may have unexpected side-effects. While any side-effects encountered will be documented and your desire to offer yourself to science is commendable, it is not a necessary part of this experiment."

"You will be informed when the test has been completed. We would like to thank you in advance for your full cooperation in the experiment and failure to attempt to foil it in any way."

"The experiment has begun, so you may begin dating."

[OOC: The exact details of your characters' confinement are up to players' discretion. Being trapped in a sensorium or other stationary place is a possibility, as is being stuck in a sort of roving invisible force field hamster ball that only affects the two of you. How far partners can move apart is probably subject to whatever's fun but they ideally shouldn't be able to sit on opposite sides of a room ignoring one another the whole time.

ICly the "test" lasts for a few hours and you are free to godmode GLaDOS telling them the experiment is finished.

If you would like a few tags from GLaDOS herself in your thread, ping me on this account or plurk or AIM or whatever is most convenient for you. :)]

Guess who was raging against the walls, loudly protesting his confinement. He flashed the bulb of the sonic screwdriver again and again, but it would not move. Foiled again, and he could hardly be much angrier.

"If she's looking for us to make nice, taking prisoners is one of the worst ways to go about it," he grunted, because GLaDOS would clearly answer no more.

The death knight was doing no better, runed blade smashing fruitlessly against the force field.

"She is *mad*. I do not date." Not that Rimethiel seemed too willing to make any explanations as to why, for the moment. Though the fact that the male wasn't doing any better than she had a smirk flitting across her lips, briefly.

"I suppose we are here until the device chooses to release us." Which only meant that she'd be punting gnomes in the Sensoriums at her next opportunity.

"Perfect! Neither do I," the Doctor replied in a voice that might've been cheerful on another day. "Domestic affairs are nothing but trouble."

He finally ceased attempting to escape after a good while, pressing himself against the barrier. "And who knows how long that'll be? We could start to rot."

Something about this affected him entirely the wrong way. Feeling helpless was eating at him.
elfsicle: (Not amused.)

"Impossible," Rimethiel said. "I'm already dead, and I am not rotting." Oh, that might open up an entire new can of worms. Not that she seemed to care about that much.

"However, I do not think that using the entire arsenal at my disposal would do any good against this force field. In my experience, it simply takes time. I suppose we could at least speak to one another." Though there's that slight sneer again.

She, at least, felt that she had better things to do than talk to a human.

"...would you mind estimating how long you've been dead and not rotting? You know. Just so we know it's not likely to occur while we're here."

Hey, he could be a jerk too! They were perfect for each other. "Your call," he shrugged.
