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. :)]

I am SO SORRY for the wait!
But it would have been wrong to take it out on Ranulf.
Still, if he was hoping for conversation, he'd most likely be disappointed. Chell's eyes shifted downward--it wasn't that she didn't want to answer his questions (he seemed pleasant enough, after all), it was that she didn't quite feel comfortable speaking yet. That kind of thing was reserved for very, very special circumstances.
So all she could offer him was a sad shrug, before kneeling and spelling her name on the ground with an index finger.
C H E L L
Don't worry about it!
And then she knelt down, and Ranulf watched her with open curiosity for a moment before it dawned on him what she was doing. ...Oh. Maybe she couldn't speak... he suddenly felt bad for peppering her with questions when she might not have been able to easily answer. While he supposed it couldn't really be considered rude of him since he hadn't known, it still felt that way in retrospect.
He bent over a bit to get a better look at what she was writing. "...Chell? Is that your name? Am I saying it right?" He smiled. "A pleasure to meet you, in spite of the, ah, circumstances." Acting on an abrupt whim, he crouched next to her and drew a small cat face with a fish in its mouth on the ground, then straightened up again and laced his fingers behind his head casually.
"So... what now?" he mused, just as much to himself as to Chell. They weren't really on a date, so... should he ask her if she wanted to grab a bite to eat or go somewhere fun, or would that be too date-like for comfort?
