Challenge a Star Preview :D · 9:57pm Nov 11th, 2012
Sorry to keep giving the second by second for this thing, but I'm just way too excited about it! Here's a little preview of the prologue. I gotta say, writing GLaDOS VLaDOS dialogue is going to be the hardest thing about this fic. But she should be a pretty fun character. Prologue is done but currently being edited by a really nice guy called Cheesy Bread Eddy. Anyway, here's some of this:
"Captain. I don't wish to tell you what to do, but I should tell you that it is standard procedure for all mutinying ships to be... sterilized with knockout neurotoxin," VLaDOS called, her voice following him.
"Is that your intention, VLaDOS?" the captain asked, narrowing a suspicious eyebrow.
A beat.
Starwalker tapped a hoof on the metal floor.
"I am still analyzing historical records, star charts, and astronomical profiles to bring up a probability figure for the success of this mission..."
The captain raised an eyebrow. "And what are our current chances?"
"Seventy percent..."
"That doesn't sound too bad," Starwalker smiled.
"...Of imminent failure... possibly followed by death."
The captain rolled his eyes. "Thank you, VLaDOS."
"I am simply trying to help you to help yourself. Haw haw haw," the AI laughed robotically.
"Out of all the AIs I could have gotten, I had to get the one with black humor installed in its main frame," Starwalker muttered to himself as he continued trotting.
"I heard that," she said, a slight hint of playfulness in her voice. "And since we're being honest with each other, I'd just like to report that your hoofsteps have had a twelve percent increase in sound intensity within the last month. The cake isn't a lie, apparently."
BRILLIANT!
