OH, she was already weak. . . the moment Mia said her name like that. her reaction was involuntary, although she did her best to hide it. it only took Mia’s voice to reduce the poor assistant to shivers. even with her jaw clenched together, and her brain reminding herself to keep her careful lie afloat, she was an open book, it seemed. she bit her lip to keep any strangled sounds from escaping as Mia’s hands drifted down her arms. this wasn’t fair -- Mia knew this wasn’t fair, right? how on earth was she supposed to resist? it was impossible. . . if she was in her right mind she’d probably argue about the fact that she’s being set up for failure. but right now the only thing on her mind was the soft scent of Mia’s perfume, and the gentle touch of her hands. and then suddenly, those hands were gone, and Caroline let out a tiny whine as she was left alone. that’s it, she’s convinced her girlfriend is ABSOLUTELY EVIL. but she’s right. . . Mia’s got Caroline exactly where she wants her. ❝ . . . so, just, theoretically. if i did need your help -- and i’ll remind you this is strictly a hypothetical -- how exactly would you. . . provide it? ❞

                ❝ . . . well , it certainly looks like YOU HAVEN’T CHANGED. ❞ she’s quick on the uptake -- curling her human hand in the doorway to keep the door from closing completely. her nose wrinkles , in response to her reflexes -- MUCH SLOWER in this dreadful casing. BODY. whatever it was. stupid thing. she regards Chell for a moment , eyes flicking up and down. it’s odd to see her like this -- she seems so. . . large. and not in the way GLaDOS might usually pick up on. ( although. . . she does look like she’s gained some weight outside of the Enrichment Center ) she’d always seemed so insignificant when she’d watch her test. . . here , directly in front of her , she was impossible to ignore. ❝ LET ME IN. ❞ the newly-minted human demands , wondering for a slight moment if her former test subject will realize who she’s looking at , ❝ i need to speak with you. and i’m not waiting outside any longer -- it’s AWFUL out here. i can’t even believe this is what you were fighting so hard for. . . disappointing , isn’t it? ❞

       ❝ DON’T MOVE. ❞ her voice is a quiet as her footsteps, barely above a whisper, a whistle on the wind. the deputy uses the other woman as her cover, watching silently as the last godforsaken remaining cultist ambles his way up to her, baseball bat in hand. three. . . two. . . she mouths, silently keeping both the attacker and the civilian she’s trying to protect in her sights, waiting for him to get close enough. one. on the count, in a single, lightning fast motion, her arm is outstretched, pistol aimed and a bullet lands right between the man’s eyes. he drops instantly, his makeshift weapon clattering uselessly to the ground -- but she puts a few more rounds in his chest. you can never be sure with these damn Eden’s Gate nutjobs. just as quickly as she drew it, she holsters her gun, stooping to take anything useful off of the man. ❝ can’t catch a fucking break in this place. ❞   she sniffs, before glancing up at the other woman,   ❝ you alright? ❞

❝ i'm wasted, losing time i'm a foolish, fragile spine i want all that is not mine i want her but we're not right in the darkness i will meet my creators and they will all agree, that i'm a suffocator ❞

(ooc;; it’s hilarious that we had the same idea lol)

❝ i made us some tea, i don’t know how y’take yours so i. . . kind of brought everything y’might need. hope that’s alright. ❞
