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. :)]

"You know how to use a laser rifle and that's enough for me."

Ah, but motorcycles, now that was something that he could really get animated about.

"You could say that. I put some standard enchantments on it. Its seat expands to fit your size, mostly in case James is join-" He stopped abruptly, not just talking but walking as well. With effort, he forced himself to continue. "And I enchanted it to fly." It wasn't like the Ministry was here to fine him for it.

One eyebrow went up at the pause. Roger probably would've said something, but when Sirius kept talking-

"To fly. Like... what, like a witch's broom?"

They didn't even have flying cars where he came from, and people had been dreaming about those for a century.

"Not exactly. Brooms are more maneuverable but they're not nearly as fun or attractive, in my opinion." He'd had several arguments about that. "If Stacy took mine I could show you." It had probably been destroyed along with his world. His poor baby.

"I have some trouble with the idea of flying on a broom anyway," Roger admitted. "No matter how you varnish it, that's still asking for splinters in a bad place. If they've got that bike of yours here, though, I wouldn't mind a look."

Sirius smiled. "No splinters. Wizard brooms are different than the ones you're thinking about.

"If I ever find my bike I'll show you." He didn't have high hopes. Maybe Stacy didn't count it as one of his possessions since he had given it to Hagrid the night James and Lily died. After that, nothing else seemed to matter.
