[ Once again, she feels a prick of guilt when she slips out of the apartment, leaving Nill all alone for the night. It's the last thing she needs, but Kate reminds herself she knew what she was getting into when she first donned this uniform. It has to be done. This is her duty.

With that, she focuses on the tasks ahead of her for tonight. Time to get to work. ]

Comments

[gevurah]

[ So she's taken notice of Kate. However, Kate works her way into the warehouse, creeping behind large, empty crates. She wonders what this woman will do next.

She certainly doesn't want that gun fired at her. Who knows where it will dump her. ]

[mutelunatic]

[Chell remains watching the area where she saw the silhouette, eyes narrowing against the dark. there's no longer any movement...at least, no noticeable movement, but there was still a presence.

and that made her uncomfortable.

after another second of waiting she jumps down from the boxes with no hesitation, again, landing on her feet with ease, Long-Fall boots hitting the ground with a distinct echo.

she'll just remain quiet. always quiet. watching.

though she does finally act, shooting a blue portal in a general direction on the ceiling above the crates she detects the presence by. it was only a hunch, she could be a billion feet off, but nevertheless she shoots the orange portal next to her on the ground and simply.

looks down to see if there is anyone by the crates.]

[gevurah]

[ Really, really doesn't like the portal's appearances again. The last thing she needs is to be made an accidental guinea pig. Stooping low, she quietly makes her way forward, then she inches out from the crates with a hand drawn up.

She's not going to hurt her, but she's ready to put her gauntlet to use if she tries something funny. ]

Lower your weapon.

[mutelunatic]

[Chell looks away from the portal at the voice, clearly on edge by the woman's sudden appearance.

her Portal Device is raised for a moment towards the figure, and it takes her a second to realize the "weapon" in question was the device she held in her hands.

there's some hesitance, but she lowers the operational end of the device towards the ground.

she's still cautious and remains in place, carefully studying the shock of red against the mono-coloured crates of the warehouse.]

[gevurah]

[ She nods. Good. There's no need to pick a fight when none of them are looking for it. Her own hands lower and she approaches, albeit still as slowly as before.

Her attention never once lifts from the gun. ]

A portal gun, am I correct?

[mutelunatic]

[she shrinks back at the woman's slow approach. not exactly out of fear, but more out of...well, she's not exactly used to being approached by people.

her eyes widen for a second in surprise as the woman recognizes the device, and she nods, adjusting her grip on the device.]

[gevurah]

[ She furrows her brow at the absence of dialogue. Though, it's not entirely unusual for Kate to scare the words out of people. ]

Can you speak?

[mutelunatic]

[there's a long pause at that question and her brow creases in thought. she can speak, it's just a matter of whether she feels like speaking. and she doesn't. never has.

so, technicalities aside, Chell finally shakes her head.

'no.'

at least, not for now.]

[gevurah]

[ Alright, that puts things in an awkward light. Still, she's much interested in that portal gun, seeing as how this one looks fully operational. The one she saw on the Network was clearly malfunctioning. ]

Did you design it?

[mutelunatic]

[Chell shakes her head, looking down at the device for a second.

she takes one hand off it and gestures to her chest, at the name on her tank top. Aperture Laboratories.

she's just a test subject, nothing more. the only scientific skills she possessed were building potato batteries, and even she didn't remember if that was actually hers.

she raises an inquisitive eyebrow after that. how did this stranger know about the portal gun? had she met GLaDOS when She, apparently, had been here?]

[gevurah]

[ She mouths the name to herself, then fixates on Chell once more. There's a tiny smirk across her face. It's neither sly or cruel, though. ]

It's interesting, I'll admit.
