'Her name is Caroline. Remember that.' anonymous June 5 2011, 21:48:59 UTC

Distraught over Mr Johnson's death, terrified of having to fulfill his last request, and with no one she can talk to about any of this, Caroline finds herself pouring her heart out to inanimate objects. To one of the turrets, for goodness' sake.

And years later, there's one being in the whole Aperture facility that doesn't hate or fear GLaDOS. One that only wants to help her. One that's a bit ...different.

*jawdrop* That makes so much sense it's actually frightening.

Authoranon here- I started writing this last night, it should be done sometime today. This is the first prompt I've ever actually written for, so I'm kind of nervous, ahaha.

:D :D :D thank you! I love you already so don't worry ;)

Her Name is Caroline [Part 1/?] anonymous June 8 2011, 02:38:16 UTC

Well, today turned out to be busier than I thought. Oh well, at least I got about half of this done. I’m going to post what I have so far, then I’m going to finish up tomorrow when I have the time. I took some artistic liberties with this (such as Cave Johnson isn’t dead, at least not yet), so I’m sorry if it kind of drags on. Anyway, here’s what I got ( ... )

Her Name is Caroline [Part 2/?] anonymous June 8 2011, 02:41:30 UTC

“Kill me,” she whispered, voice wavering as tears threatened to spill over her closed eyelids. “Please kill me... please,” she begged, “I can’t take it anymore... I don’t want to do it, I can’t do it, I won’t do it... just please, make it stop ( ... )

AHHHHHH

Wow. Wow oh wow oh wow. I'm not the OP but I really really liked this story. It's such a believable take on the both Caroline and the "I'm different" turret.

(I'm making this my personal canon, by the way.)

Re: Her Name is Caroline [Part 2/?] anonymous June 8 2011, 05:20:07 UTC

This is awesome. And adorable. And fascinating. And - and ... please write more!

OP anonymous June 8 2011, 06:08:26 UTC

This is amazing. ;_; Poor Caroline - I can totally believe she'd be desperate enough to attempt suicide by turret at this point. And then their conversation is adorable and and aawwww. I can't wait for the rest!

Writeranon is very sorry for the delay- mother nature decided it would be a wonderful time to have a thunderstorm and cut the power in my area for a couple days. D: I'm posting what I have done now, though, and I'm going to try to finish it up tonight or tomorrow!
________________

The odd pair sat like that for several hours, as Caroline talked about anything she could think about- her job, her coworkers, what she liked to eat, what music she listened to- and the turret listened intently, occasionally repeating a phrase back to her or asking a simple question. Talking helped lift her spirits a little, and it helped immensely that there was someone willing to listen to her, even if it was a robot. She lost track of time after a while, but she didn’t particularly care, until she was forcibly snapped back to reality by the screech of the facility’s intercom turning on.

“Caroline, please report to my office immediately,” Cave’s voice boomed from the speakers. “I need my pain pills again, and there’s some paperwork I want you to look ( ... )

OP anonymous June 11 2011, 21:49:31 UTC

D: Power cuts suck. No need to apologise! I'm happy you're back. And this is still adorable. :)
