[As the feed flickers on--unintentionally--the viewer will be able to see the edge of a tree stump in the foreground, as well as a black clawed looking device as well as a bit of an orange glow in the upper left corner. A cluster of buildings are in the background, perhaps some of the crofts. A low hum fills the feed at first, then suddenly decreases as Chell--or what is Chell from the waist down--steps into view, and pulling the clawed device to show a sort of...mechanical bug?

Chell slips one hand into back end, her other hand supporting the underside. The midsection of the object, previously glowing orange, suddenly switches to blue, the mic catching a sort whir before the gun fires a series of bubbling blampf sounds. Single blue particle rays are shot into random places: the ground, a tree, the stone wall of one of the crofts. This is then followed by a series of orange rays.

...nothing.

The woman snorts in mild annoyance and utters a single word before the feed cuts out.]

Broken.

What do you have there?

[Her eyes turn immediately to the communicator. Ah, she left it on again.]

This? It's a portal device. [Broken, but still a portal device.]

[Chell nods.] All right.

[She picks up the communicator and turns it off before making her way to the inn. She pauses at the entrance and decides to wait outside instead.]

Toodle-oo! [Lloyd waggles his fingers at the screen and turns it off. He feels quite cheerful, if truth be told. The gun certainly looked interesting. The 'portals' the woman had spoken about sounded somewhat implausible, but definitely worth looking into.

That's what takes him to the Inn, where he catches sight of her waiting outside. He makes his leisurely way over to her and grins broadly.

Salu-taaaaations! [He leans forwards, peering at the portal gun before looking back up at her. He doesn't straighten, but his grin grows.] Is this the gun?

[...oh. Right. People have their own personality cor--er, personalities, as well. She doesn't smile, but she doesn't seem unfriendly either.

Chell nods in confirmation of his question and shifts the portal gun loosely into her hands, as to allow him further inspection.]

[She doesn't seem too fussed with making polite conversation! And she has new scientific parts? This lady is becoming Lloyd's kind of woman right now!

He gently prods at the portal device for several minutes. The cheery, somewhat mocking grin slips and a serious expression settles on his face as he looks at it. After a short time, he takes out his device and takes a few notes.

Could you show me it firing?

[Chell nods again and slides the portal gun over her right hand. She turns to face the inn, taking several steps back. The gun hums and fires a single blue ray at the wall, the bright particles scattering upon hitting the stone surface. She fires an orange ray with the same result.

She repeats with a nearby tree as well as the ground. The same results as before: no portals.

Chell sighs.]

[Despite having seen it on the screen, Lloyd can't help but jump a little as the gun fires out portal after portal, each of which simply don't stick. After the second shot, however, he watches the gun with avid interest and notes down the way it moves and how it appears - without having been taken apart and put back together - to work.]

Hmm...

[He walks up to her again and taps the gun curiously with his communicator.]

What did you usually fire it at? It doesn't seem to like bare rock and wood, after all.

Walls. [Well, that isn't very descriptive.] White ones. In test chambers.

[None of which Chell can see nearby.]

White walls in test chambers. [He types that down. Literally - desc: "Walls. White ones. In test chambers."]

Tell me more about the test chambers? And the walls. Painted white, or...?

[Chell pauses; while it is all too easy to recall what her environment once used to be, saying it aloud seemed strange.

She shifts slightly from one foot to the other, opting to answer the easier question.] Some walls are white, others..if there is conversion gel, the portals will work.

[As for the other..] ...problems. They were all...problems.

Ohh, you'll be surprised what our head miner can find in those mountains! [He winks at her and straightens up.]

So, I assume that... [He glances at her shirt - yes it's the same brand that was on the gun.] Aperture made the fluid as well? Are there many trips to the moon where you come from?

[Head...miner? Hm. Something worth noting, perhaps, for later.]

Yes, Aperture made all of the gels. [And most everything else.] I..am not certain about how often they went to the moon. Several, at least.

Ideally. [She sighs slightly.] Either, the gun is malfunctioning. Or the surfaces are wrong. [It is likely the latter, the more she thinks on it, but it is also quite possible something is broken in the device.]

A portal device. To create portals. [This would be much easier shown to than to try to explain.]
