"Hello? Anyone alive out there? Can anyone hear me? If you can, could you get me out of here? I mean, this is a lovely plant-thing and all. It's nice and green and-- leafy, but it would be a lot nicer if I didn't have to live in it! I know I haven't seen one of these things

[Hey, what's that sound? It sounds vaguely like a missile descending from the sky... Except it's not a missile. Landing into the same set of bushes is someone... familiar. The Space Core's eye twitches around rapidly as he realizes this is not space.]

Space?!

[Noooo! He didn't get to meet the sun yet! Or see Jupiter! Or the space cops!]

[idiot_sphere]

[.... Did he just hear that? Oh hell, he'd really just heard that, didn't he?!]

I changed my mind! Kill me! Get it over with quickly!

[gotospacejail]

[Sorry, Wheatley. It's finally sunk in that Space Core isn't in space. His eye squints with impatience and begins to twitch even more.]

This isn't space not space I'm not in space. Not in space because this isn't space. Space space space space didn't see all of space! Have to see all of it all of space. Can't see all of space if I'm not in space. Need to go back. Need to go back. Need to go back to space to see all of space. SPACE!

[idiot_sphere]

[Ahhh here we go. Back into robot hell went Wheatley. At first he had tried to make the best of his journey amongst the stars, and calmly accepted the other Core's presence. He had gotten into the habit of simply ignoring his space-minded 'friend' before, but the brief hope that he was rid of him was unexpectedly pleasing. Too bad it didn't last.]

Shut. UP! You DO realize how huge space is, right?! We never would have seen all of it! At least you got to see it at all. Didn't you get enough of it?!

WHEATLEYYYYY

[walk_in_grey]

[Well this is a first. Allen's never been spoken to by a bush.]

Hello?

[Silly master can't find his way around the corner of the street. Finding something in a bush is definitely out of the question so here's Timcampy diving into the bush and starting to rustle around inside of it, much to Allen's perplexity.]

ALLLLEEEENNNN <3

[idiot_sphere]

[His eye widened as he jerked at the noise. As much as he had been rambling, he didn't think anyone would actually answer!]

Hello? Hello?! Is someone really out there?!

[He would have kept calling out, knowing that he couldn't have imagined that, seeing as how he didn't have an imagination, really. He got distracted though as something dove into the bush, and the first thing he was was a pair of yellow... Wings. NO, NO! Not now! Not when he didn't have a management rail to use to get away!]

AHHH! BIRD! GET IT OFF ME!

By far my favorite character in Portal 2

[walk_in_grey]

Um yes I'm here. Where-

[How RUDE. He is no bird. Do birds have horns and shark-like jaws? Cause look, Timcampy's showing off both of them before biting down on one of the bars that make up your body. Hope you like flying cause Tim flaps his wings the next second and bursts out of the bush, presenting to Allen what he has found.]

Are you sure that was all that was inside there Timcampy? I could have sworn I heard a voice.

[idiot_sphere]

Get it off-- OW!

[He didn't care what it was! It was tiny, it had wings, and it was biting him! That alone was enough to make him freak out, but no, somehow that tiny thing was able to flat out lift him right into the air! As he's dragged out of the bush, Wheatley's swiveling around, his eyeplates shut tightly, trying to sway out of the thing's grip.]

Put me down! Put me----! [He had risked opening his eye, and in an instant it was wide open, his blue lens light as tiny as a pin.] TOO HIGH! Nevermind! Hold onto me! Don't let go!

A talking bush is not anything you expect to run into on regular basis.

It does, obviously, catch Leo's attention because how can it not? And from the way it talks, he can imagine it's not really the bush, but then... what is it?

He crouches down, and starts looking for a stick to see if he could find the source without having to actually dive into the bush.

"It would help if I could actually see you."

[idiot_sphere]

Really?! Someone was actually listening to him all that time?! He could have said something earlier!

"Here! Here! I'm in here! Pull me out please!"

[disruptstatice]

He does really wonder why it is that whoever it is in there can't get out on their own, but, well... He'll find out soon enough. With the talking, it at least gives him a general idea of the direction and some of the distance, but...

He still wants to have a poke with a stick. "Calm down," he says blankly, and settles for snapping off a twig from the bush instead.

Okay then... He's going to... lean into the bush a little, and tuck some hair behind his ear to get a bit of a clearer view before he reaches out to see if the twig will hit anything. Stupid lights...

[idiot_sphere]

He waits, nearly shaking with anticipation, and then...

"Ow!"

He winces as he feels something poke at him, and moves his eye behind him to see where it was coming from. Speaking of Leo's lights, he's going to be seeing one more by now. A bright blue one, coming right from the center of the bush.

"Ah! Brilliant! There you are! Just reach in and get me out, would you please?

[thatpeskyninja]

[There's a bush talking you say? WELL, gotta investigate said talking bush.]

Um...are you stuck in there or are you just a bush?
[Let's poke said speaking bush! POKE.]

[idiot_sphere]

Wha--- Of course I'm not the bush! Who's ever heard of a bush talking?!

OW! OW! Stop that!

[There is a very obvious metallic ting with each poke she gives him. Unfortunately, he WAS designed to feel pain, and he definitely is feeling it with each poke.]

[thatpeskyninja]

Well you're so small it's hard to tell.

[Small and hard....wait it's not a person?

...

Pokes again before pushing all the shrubs away to get a better look.]

[idiot_sphere]

Ow! I said stop!

[He blinks in surprise as suddenly, light flooded his spot in the bushes. He stares up, his eye adjusting accordingly to the new light to see a girl peering in at him.]

... Hello?

[hello_ponds]

"Hello then, what's this." The Doctor crouched next to the bush, scanning Wheatley with his screwdriver and giving the results a good look. Little robot thing all alone in a bush. He loved little robot things. Fascinating. "And you talk, too. Brilliant! Hello. I'm the Doctor. And who are you?"

[idiot_sphere]

At first he was elated to know he really wasn't alone, but then he realized the human wasn't just going to pull him out. As he was scanned, it felt strange to be sure. He could tell that something was scanning him, even beyond the warnings popping up in his software, and he wasn't sure he liked it. As the strange human crouched down, Wheatley looked over him, confused that an average human would have that kind of technology, especially when he'd been told that most of humanity was supposed to have died off, considering the Earth had apparently gone through an apocalypse.

"Wheatley." The core answered, his eyelids narrowing slightly as he suspiciously pondered the man. "'The' Doctor? Not just 'A' doctor, huh?"

[hello_ponds]

"Wheatley. That's a good name. I like it. Wheatley. Well then, Wheatley. What are you doing out here, in a bush?" He was still crouched next to the bush, though he had put the sonic screwdriver away now, safely back in his pocket while he continued to study this new robot. His eyes darted back and forth as his mind worked on where and who and when this robot came from. Fairly advanced technology. Very new. Very interesting. Why didn't he have feet? He wasn't hovering around to get out of the bush so "Where did you come from? How do you get around?"

[idiot_sphere]

"It's not like I chose to fall there! It's just where I ended up! When you tumble down from space, I'm sure no one really gets to pick and choose where they land! I mean... Unless they're in a space ship or something."
"
The lack of the scanny-thing still didn't make him relax. Why was this 'Doctor' so interested? Was he a scientist? What if he was from Black Mesa? He's been told all about Black Mesa, but then again, they were supposed to be gone with the rest of the world. So much for that theory though. There were people still alive. He had to be careful. Who knows what he was programmed with to keep him from revealing Aperture's secrets.

"Easy enough. I just use my management rail to--" Oh. Wait. He briefly glances up, realizing there's blue sky above him, with no ceilings. No management rails. "Oh. Guess I don't anymore, do I? I.... Have no idea anymore."
