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. :)]

GLaDOS hooked him up with an alien. Or course she hooked him up with an alien. Why not?

Howard does what he does best when trying to impress members of the opposite sex, and by that he means hunching over, staring at his shoes, jamming his hands in his pockets and looking for all the world like he'd rather be somewhere, anywhere. Possibly in his own coffin.

"Hey."

Chiana hasn't had any experience of GLaDOS, but she has had experience of being controlled by her government and control collars and 'being part of an experiment' does NOT sound like something she wants to have any part of.

"That's it? Hey? Well you might be frelling calm about it but I'm not."

She's only a moment away from testing the forcefield, because hell if she's just gonna take some voice's word for it.

Howard will let her. He's already resigned himself to being as awkward and unhelpful as possible on this date, as on any date. At least GLaDOS set him up with a girl. That means she thinks he's straight. He'll roll with that.

As if reading her mind and trying to encourage her to amuse him, he adds, "although if you're desperate to try it, the forcefield might come down if you give it a good hard smack."

"Yeah? And after I've tried that maybe I'll give you a good hard smack."

Chiana isn't stupid not by a long stretch, but if there's one thing she hates more than anything it's the idea of being controlled or caged. Stacy is going to take a hell of a lot getting used to for the tiny rebel runaway. She starts to simply walk away, an added swagger of bravado to her step to cover her fear.

Predictably she does hit a forcefield once she's more than a couple of metres away from Howard and although it only hurts for a second, she recoils quickly enough to stop it doing any serious damage.

"Frell!"

Howard cringes. He doesn't doubt Chiana's ability to smack him around because, well, he sort of invites it with his big mouth and bad attitude.

He does, however, laugh when she hits the forcefield.

"Come on, better people that us can't figure their ways out of this and maybe we'll get cake. Might as well do something while we're stuck here."
