Dream - [001] INTERACTIVE

[idiot_sphere]

Effects: (Interactive)
Warnings: The Aperture Science Enrichment Center would like to remind you that Android Hell is a real place, where you will be sent at the first sign of defiance.

All you see is a room. It's a blank, white washed room, void of anything else... Except a button on the floor. A giant red button. It is just sitting there

[he was just trying this whole dreamwalking thing out.

and he's not going to press the button.

like anyone would do something so obvious.]

Now how the hell do I get out of this place... [looking for an exit.]

[idiot_sphere]

[That exit that Cid was looking for doesn't exist. There is just white walls. There isn't even any visible light fixtures in the room. The only thing in the room is the button, sitting, waiting for someone to press it.]

[smokesinspace]

[...yeah still not gonna press it.

maybe if he tried forming his spear and piercing those goddamn walls.

or just sit there and try to wake himself up.

okay maybe that latter one might work.

but not pressing button.]

[idiot_sphere]

[He pokes the walls, to no avail. The spear doesn't even manage to punch the smallest of holes.

C'mon. The button's the only way out.]

[smokesinspace]

[dude, that button is giant and red.

you do not push such obviously suspicious things B|]

[idiot_sphere]

[Maybe it's obviously suspicious, but it's also a mystery, full of possibilities. How could you not want to explore what such a huge and red button has to offer?!]

[smokesinspace]

[...yeah no thanks.

still not pressing.]

[idiot_sphere]

[... And his patience paid off. A small panel opened up in the high ceiling, lowering a certain metallic eyeball, who was hanging from a crane. At first, his gaze was wildly rolling all over the room]

Wha--- Oh. Ok. Didn't expect to be back here so soon.

[Finally, his sight passed over Cid. He nearly looked on before returning his gaze to the man and blinking in surprise.]

Great. Another test subject, are you? Or... You're not exactly wearing the uniform for it. What're you doing here?

[smokesinspace]

Test subject? Is this what this shit is?

[idiot_sphere]

This--- What?! Well that's rude! This test facility is state of the art!

[smokesinspace]

[just looks at the robot before crossing his arms.]

Four white walls with a red button the floor. State of the art? More like state of the shit if you ask me.

[idiot_sphere]

[Wheatley twists from side to side, obviously protesting.]

Well obviously this isn't all of it! The point is you step on the button and you get to see the rest of it.

[smokesinspace]

Now why the hell would I step on a goddamn button when I don't even know what the fuck it'll do? You know what giant red buttons mean?

Trouble. And I don't wanna be any fuckin' part of it.

[idiot_sphere]

No they don't! I know plenty of buttons that are just fine! What's with your prejudice against red buttons?!

All it is is it's a part of the bloody test! It just leads to the testing track! You step on that button, and a wall opens up to let you out of here. Unless you like sitting and staring at white walls for the rest of your life, which I might add, would probably be pretty short due to the lack of food and water in here, then just push the button already!

[smokesinspace]

Oh yeah? Why don't you push it?

[idiot_sphere]

Oh, sure, let me just reach down there and get it from my spot in the ceiling! In case you haven't noticed, I can't reach the floor, and I can't find a port to hack the doors with. Besides, you're the one who's stuck. I can just pop out any time I like. Simple. Just...

[... Well, it usually would be simple, but it was only then that he realized, the port in the ceiling he'd come through had closed. He was hanging from a crane from the ceiling, but that was it. Even he couldn't get out now.]

... Yeah, I'm just as stuck as you are.
