SOMETHING WITH GLaDOS?! 8D

Finally getting to this! Marine, I’ll have yours sometime soon-ish. Got to plan the battle out in my head, still.

Harpy. Remember the first prompt I ever filled for you?

I felt this was appropriate given this one.

I DO REMEMBER IT.  *w*

And skjdfljf sg THIS WAS SO CUTE.  BFF Funtiems fluff!  X3!!!  She has learned well…perhaps too well…  And what an excellent way for GLaDOS to match wits with Chell without hurting her to prove her superiority!

This was an adorable and awesome callback AND  aksjdfasljdal THANK YOU SO MUCH!  ;w;

pibird asked: What exactly is Aldea?

Aldea is a township located in the middle of an as yet, unnamed continent. Though not exactly the largest of cities, there is a large castle situated farthest North.  It, and the surrounding areas are ruled by a monarch.  The buildings resemble 18th century French buildings, and the technology matches the time period.  There are no people, however.  The residents are all Pokemon.

I could never decide on a name for the town, always referring to it as “The Town.”  I wanted something that sounded fancy.  So…why not the Spanish word for town?  8D

jenovaii asked: Let's hear about Feathermay, and then about those Shrike Harpies!

Feathermay is a pegasus that resides near Pepperdance’s place of residence.  Feathermay is a lighthearted sort, and has a flair for the comedic.  She’s actually has a horrible case of stage fright, so she’d much rather be a writer.  She has a knack for clever dialogue and longs to be a playwright.  Most ponies love being around her, though occasionally, her sarcastic side gets the better of her…

Shike Harpies are the most brutal and feared of the flocks.  They will hunt and eat anything, from game to humans to harpies of other flocks.  They impale their enemies on thorns or sharpened branches as a means of intimidation.  However, they do not shy away from fighting with other flocks.  Rather, they actively seek out war, as it provides even more food, one way or another.  Since harpy gender ratio leans extremely heavily toward the female gender (male harpies are a rare occurence) they will do anything to propagate their race.  They often capture and forcibly mate with human males.  After finishing, they will then cripple them (if they hadn’t already) and leave the chicks to feast on them when they hatch.  This practice is considered utterly loathsome by all other flocks, including Raptor Harpies.

marinescientist replied to your post: Bad End! Chell do you really think LeMaire has your best interests at heart?

LeMaire: “I knitted you this straight jacket it should look lovely with your eyes”

OH GOD, I SPIT SODA ALL OVER THE MONITOR.

I’M DYING.

marinescientist asked: Dr. did you try to stop Miluda from doing that to her father, your close friend?

Mmmm…well, I actually lost contact with Alvar as we were displaced into the cities when the Combine invaded.

Prior to, though…well…I had tried to encourage Alvar to temper his daughter’s interest in the medical sciences rather than suppress them completely.  I could understand a love for that.  And Tyri was a brilliant scientist.  He loved her so much…  Emi, on the other hand, often suggested he get Miluda help.  He would hear of neither.  Ever since his wife died he had gotten…stern.  Emi felt he was frightened of his own daughter.

Last I had heard of him before…I lost track of him, he and Miluda were looking for some safe haven.

Later, once I came on as the doctor for the Combine, I ran into Miluda.  I asked her if her father was with her.  She told me he was, and that they were getting along.  She asked if I wanted to see him. 

I was thrilled at the prospect of seeing my old friend again.  Even though we were with the Combine…well…he was my best friend.  And he knew what it was like to lose a loved one.  I needed help dealing with it.

But…when Miluda asked him to come out…

God.  He was my best man at our wedding…

Oh…

No…one…mustn’t get too attached to things.


marinescientist Emi was right

marinescientist asked: Bad End! Chell do you really think LeMaire has your best interests at heart?

Oh…uhm…God…

I…I…don’t know?  A-at first…when she found me I was…everyone had…I was so…just…consumed with…grief.  And she understood that.  She offered to take my pain away.  It was…she was…comforting.

And what she gave me…it made the visions go away.

It was nice for a while.  But…I probably shouldn’t have been taking them.  I started to forget things.

And, that’s when I started to- oh God.  I-I’ve k-killed so m-many.

What?

…I know.  I know…just stop.  I-I’m trying to talk to someone right now.

B-but…yeah.  No.  I don’t think…uhm.  I think that…I know she wants to further the Combine’s goals.  To keep the “peace” as she calls it.  But she’s…delusional.  N-not that I’m one to talk, but…I-I think…she probably, somehow, actually cares about me.  In a…twisted way, I guess?

…she’s the only one.

Heh…and pretty soon no one will care about me.

…that’s the way it should be.

marinescientist asked: Paul, Thoughts on your boss?

Oh shit.

Okay…Jesus…she’s absolutely insane I mean…she wasn’t really that bad at first.  She was really, really good at finding bases and killing Rebels.  Brutally efficient.  And pretty awe-inspiring.  But she always had…anger issues, I guess.  When things wouldn’t go her way, or she’d miss something, or she’d just get pissed off for no reason.  She’d get…erratic.  And fucking violent!  Do you know how many times she’s slammed me against the wall?  Or punched me?  Knocked me down?

One time!  One time, I went into her office.  All I did was fucking GO IN, and she shot her pistol right at my feet!  She only smiled at me and said, “Just seeing if you were paying attention!”

Fucking psychotic bitch. 

She’s been having some kind of visions lately, I guess?  I don’t know, I’m not a psychologist.  I’m just always carting meds back and forth to her.

She tired to kill herself recently, have you heard?  I walked in on her. 

I can’t say I’m glad she survived.

And ever since then, she’s been making really…strange decisions.  Like…her strategies are really, really off.  She led one of our companies into the woods, where we met with a Resistance garrison.  And it was a well-prepared garrison too.

I’m starting to wonder if this is a result of her being crazy, or…if it’s planned.

I’ll need to speak with LeMaire about this.

…maybe there’s a promotion in it for me…
