[ When the video feed flickers to life, it's about what you'd expect. Some new person here at the academy is making it a point to stare into the depths of your soul before proper introductions are to be had. Because yes, staring. Yes, this is good. This is exactly what needed to be done.

You could opt to stare into an empty gaze and a simple smile, or perhaps just lean away from the screen once you notice the extra hole neatly hollowed out into her chest, a vertical array of stitches cutting right down the center of if from throat to breast. Embedded was what looked like a red orb of glass with a black knick at the center of it.

Now that a kind of figurative eye contact had been established, she parted her lips to speak.

Waaaait for it. They're opening. They're open. ... Okay, give her another second.

OKAY. She has this. ]

Hello, Academy.

I will guard your halls.

[ As if that wasn't odd enough, maybe the restrained giggle and rise of an automatic pistol into the camera's sights would do her justice. ]

;;

[ As for action, Vivian will be doing just as she said she would. She's roaming the halls of the main building, her pistol in hand and skipping around in a fluttering white dress, the top potion of it mostly bandages that could stand to cover more of her up. She looks rather content to be able to move around, though on occasion she will stop and just stare around a corner and down a hall.

Creepy. ]

[Hi Awkward, meet Awkward II Electric Boogaloo. Sophie stares at this person for a good minute before she talks to this...new person, she guessed. And you have a weird thing on you.]

Why are you guarding the halls?

[video]

[hellofriend]

Hello. Because she told me to.

[ THAT WAS ENOUGH.

Though it had her thinking... ]

Are you in the halls? [ Click. ]

[after_the_flower]

[Turret say whhhhat. This humanoid cocks her head.]

...Who?

[testgasm]

Ohhhhh, no.

[He knows that voice. HE KNOWS IT don't think he doesn't know it.]

Not one of you.

[video]

[hellofriend]

[ And she knows that voice. Sounded awfully 'lot like the programming "mastermind" that went and got her chucked in the dumpster.

It's cool, though. Mom found her. ]

Hello. Again.

[ She looked pissed. Maybe. Maybe? She was still smiling. Just staring a tad harder with those Aperture emblem eyeballs. ]

Discarded...

Super Aperture-Level Hall Monitor vs. Super High School-Level Hall Monitor ROUND 1

[forgetbeam]

[Ishimaru is so relieved to be normal again after Halloween jk he'll never be normal that he has vowed to work twice as hard to show just how grateful he is! Who is he showing, anyway? Who knows. But he is ever vigilant in his routine hall patrols, ready to bring justice wherever he needs to.

He is not exactly ready to round a corner and be met with CREEPY STARING. He stares right on back.]

Ah...! You there! Are you a new student?

( mildly delayed ) FAITO!

[hellofriend]

[ Oh, someone was in the halls. Her weapon is concealed behind the folds of her dress, but she doesn't immediately pull it out. She'd been given a different kind of order as far as this was concerned, so she hesitated on the initial urge to assault.

She keeps a bit of a distance on him for the time being, not to comfortable with anyone being close to her. ]

Hello. Yes.

[ She'd get right to the point, though. ]

Your pass?

[ video ]

[obfuskate]

Oh.

Will you, now.

[ UNNERVING... ]

[ video ]

[hellofriend]

Hi. Yes. I will. It's my job.

[ She was incredibly pleased to share that information. She gives the gun a little wave of excitement as a point.

She stops only to speak again. ]

Who are you? [ She ought to start asking these questions. She recalled that she wasn't allowed to punish the staff.

Unless they were the ones who deserved it. But which ones deserved it... oh boy. ]

ACKSHUN

[did_well_enough]

[To say that GLaDOS had been in a great good slightly better than normal mood recently wouldn't be too far-fetched. Granted, she had just been turned into some horrible pumpkin headed monstrosity for about a week, but that...was the reason she wasn't happier. Either way, It had been so long since she'd seen anyone from back home who she didn't hate with an undeniable passion. As such, she had almost forgotten what it was like...

Oh well.

She was walking down the hallways, looking down each corridor curiously, until she finally spotted her little marshmallow turret.]

Ah, there you are.

[AWYISSHUN]

[hellofriend]

[ Vivian's first reaction was to ready her weapon, but as soon as she saw who it was, she immediately desisted.

Without a word, she approached GLaDOS with that programmed smile on her lips, only stopping when she was standing in front of her. ]

Hello, Miss.

[explosion_day]

[What is... What the heck?

Give him a minute.

Oh...

She's so tiny and cute not nearly old enough but this is kind of weird and freaky and she's all humany???]

Who let you out?

[video]

[hellofriend]

[ Oh, this voice seemed to know her. She didn't recognize it herself, though. Not in the way she had with that other one. ]

Wheatley.

[ In a sense, yeah. That was true. He got her thrown out and she somehow landed here. ]

Who are you?

[video]

[makesithot]

[... ... ... SOMETHING... IS INCREDIBLY UNNERVING ABOUT THIS GIRL... HELP And the gun wasn't a welcome sight to this particular student.]

Guard the halls?! No way! I don't think anyone would want you to guard the halls looking like that, so just... just... Don't carry that around like that! [The gun, he means.]

[video]

[hellofriend]

[ She looked a little confused for a moment, turning her attention to her gun when it was addressed. Well, if he said so...

She put it from her right hand to her left. She could shoot with either, really. She nodded. ]

I will guard the halls now.

[Video]

[operatingbuddy]

[A robot stared back.]

I was unaware the school authorized lethal force for security guards.

[video]

[hellofriend]

Hello. Yes. [ How simple is that? ] I must guard the halls by any means necessary. [ This robot looked nothing like anything she had seen at Aperture. Then again, she'd only seen mostly her own kind. She was programmed for the rest. ]

vidya

[duodeca]

[Well, this new student was... very, very unnerving. Noel would try to be helpful but she looked visibly worried.]

Guard the halls...? Like a hall monitor? [She doesn't want to be rude and jump to conclusions right away about the...gun. She would bring it up later.]

[VIDJA]

[hellofriend]

Hello. [ IT'S RUDE NOT TO SAY HELLO, NOEL. ] Yes, precisely. That is my title.

[testsubject1]

[That voice...]

What are you?

THREADJACKING BECAUSE I CAN~ [Video]

[did_well_enough]

I wonder if this is your own human fear kicking in, forcing you to deny the obvious since you can't bare to face the truth.

Or maybe you really do have brain damage.

action because i'm horrible

[robinsegg]

[There's a blue-haired kid wandering down the hallway.]

UH OH

[hellofriend]

[ There's a silver-haired girl skipping his way.

Look! A person in the halls. Time to get to work! ]

Hello!

[action]

[pitticus]

[ Is that a student wandering the halls without a hall pass? Better hurry, because it looks like he's in a serious rush. Probably needs to make a pit stop or something. ]

[action]

[hellofriend]

[ Should get shot just for that.

Oh, another one! It's okay. She fixed her earlier problem. Now she's ready for this one. ]

Hello!!

[ Pit, there might be a girl trotting down the hallway with a gun aimed right at you. ]

Excuse me!

[ She'd do things right this time! ]
