[0005]: Hard Sunshine

 A deadpan, female voice rings in your ears.

Due to events beyond our control, some testing environments may contain flood damage or ongoing tribal warfare resulting from the collapse of civilizations. If groups of hunter gatherers have made this or any test chamber their home, do. Not. Agitate them. Test through them.

[What....the shit was that....?

It was...well it was definitely not what he was use too. It was weird. Was that a machine?

He looks down to the girl the dream is focused on. Was this her world?]

Wake up.

[Her head snaps up at his voice, and immediately, the woman falls back, her eyes wide in surprise. The strange thing is, she looks nearly identical to the woman in Demeleier, but her eyes appear much...younger.

She doesn't speak, her voice caught tight in her throat. It is easy to tell she has no recollection--at least for now--of who the man is.]

[He raises an eyebrow at that. He had seen this girl before, she was on the he met in the field.

Why was she looking at him so strangely?]

What was that?

[Chell blinks, confused.] What? [Her voice is strained, hoarse from obvious disuse.]

[Honest to God, Dante's not exactly sure what happened. But the creepy part is he could relate.]

...like being thirteen again. You all right? Can you hear me? You remember me? Come one, look at this face, you can't forget this face.

[Chell looks up and slowly rises to her feet. There is an assortment of cuts and bruises all over her body, but that kind of happens with exploding AIs. She doesn't immediately recognize him, nor was she going to try except that he was insisting.

Her brows furrow in thought. He didn't...seem like someone from Aperture.]

[Her frowns weren't exactly the sort of responses he was looking for. He scratched the back of his head.]

This isn't exactly real. I mean, I guess it's real but it's not real real. You know?

[Skepticism makes itself more evident in her expression.] But [She coughs, her throat coated in dust] that means you aren't real. {...right?]

[ She's not sure what to think of the whole situation - it's so sudden, she has no clue what's going on, and all she can go is really just carry on through all of it-- until she spots the woman there, looking so small and fragile in the midst of all that rubble, and her breath stops for a moment at the sheer sight of it. (She never was good with dealing with these sort of things, was she?)

Minako quickly takes a few steps towards, trying to get towards the body. ]

H-hey! Are you okay..?!

[Chell looks up in surprise, and those are...maybe younger? sorts of eyes that fix upon Minako. She otherwise looks the same as she does from Demeleier.

The woman stares, trying to remember where, if ever, she had seen the girl. She didn't seem like anyone she recognized. Maybe?]

[ Now Minako seems to recognize her a little too - she vaguely recalls seeing the woman around Demeleier before, even if she looks somewhat younger here. And while Minako still isn't sure where she is, she knows she has to do something to help out. ]

Um, I'm not sure what happened either, but-- I'll help you, okay?

[The woman continues to stare for a little bit. She doesn't recall this girl just yet, however, her voice seems comforting.

Chell nods slightly.]

Lloyd clutches against a mostly intact wall, breathing hard. His body aches all over. Being thrown around like that, like a dummy in a test, was not something he was used to. No, the scientist was used to being the one doing the testing.

He suddenly had a lot of sympathy for his subjects.

He blinks, still wheezing and out of breath. His eyes catch the shaft of sunlight and he moves forwards, shakily. He makes out the figure of Chell, and beside her... that covertable Portal Gun.

Long moments pass. Eventually, slowly, Lloyd leans down and picks up the gun.
