entranceway | Test 01 [Accidental Video/Action]

[The feed flickers to life, showing the back of the mansion. A branch blocks the view, giving the impression that the device is stuck in a tree. A couple of odd things are easily noticable about this video. Firstly, the lens seems to be cracked in half, splitting the image into two, slightly misaligned halves. Secondly, there's a small watermark in the corner that wouldn't be out of place on a youtube video. Third, although nobody is actually in the video, a man's voice is stammering in some sort of English accent.]

-how I could have even gotten here. Really, I should have been in a million pieces by now, just from the impact. Possibly also on fire. You know, from entering the Earth's atmosphere at terminal velocity.

[Two metal lids close in front of the camera for a second as it quickly pans back and forth like it was shaking its head.] No, it's probably a good thing I didn't get smashed. I've already been damaged enough...

Hang on, what's this thing doing?

"Streaming to Network?!" What network? I don't remember installing this software!

[The camera pans about frantically. It should be obvious by now we're looking at the world through the eye of a panicking robot.] Oh god! Someone hacked into me! What do I do? What do I do?

Wait, maybe the hackers can help me. [He calms down and clears his simulated throat.] Hello. As you can probably tell, I'm stuck in a tree of some sort. If you could please get me down, I would really appreciate it.

[If anyone wants to rescue poor Wheatley or perhaps stumble upon him by chance, he'll be in one of the trees in the orchards. You can't miss him: he's a spherical robot the size of a large beach ball, equipped with moving handles and a bright, blue optic.]

[ooc: Feel free to threadjack this post.]

[... Well, this is certainly happening. While he should be more concerned about the plight of this poor robot, Fidds can't help but kind of marvel at what little he can see here.]

Fascinatin'... did you say that you entered the Earth's atmosphere at terminal velocity? [Which means... huh.] What were doin' out in space before then?

[Is Wheatley some kind of sentient satellite or something?]

I was stranded up there! Someone popped a portal on the bloody moon and I got sucked through! It was mental, I tell you. Bloody mental!

Wait.

[A scruffy man in a labcoat, talking about science?]

[The video's view narrows as Wheatley squints at McGucket. Yeah, Wheatley is involuntarily livestreaming what he's looking at, but old habits die hard.]

... Aren't you a scientist or something?

[At the word "portal", Fiddleford does an odd, uncomfortable flinch--calm down Fiddleford, it can't possibly be the same type of portal as the one sitting in the basement of the lab back in Gravity Falls--before he acknowledges the question.]

Ah... yes, as I matter of fact I am.

[What about it?]

[Hm, flinching... Noted. He might know this person...]

Do you have any experience with robots? You know, building... Programming... That sort of thing?

My degree was in hyper-advanced engineerin', so I know a thing or two about robotics, yes.

[You should see the killer robot designs he makes in his spare time--I mean]

Why d'ya ask?

Did you work for Aperture at one point?

[Because a lot of engineers at Aperture had degrees for some reason. How hard was it to press a button, anyhow?]

"Aperture"? No, can't say that I did, let alone ever heard of 'em before.

Alright, that's fine. I don't expect you to know all about them, if you don't work for them.

That being said... Could you please come over here and fix me up a bit? I got pretty scuffed up, you see. Broken optic and everything, and I would really appreciate it if you at least replaced the glass or something?

[PLEASE? He wants to see normally again!]

Oh! Ah, sure, I can fix ya up in a jiffy. [There's some shuffling about now as he starts picking up things off screen--yep, gonna need that, and that too...]

Just hang tight while I get together the supplies I'll need, and if somethin' happens before I get there, call me back, yeah?

Ah, brilliant!

[McGucket could hear the sheer excitement in Wheatley's voice. Finally, someone who is able to fix him up properly!]

Can I have your number, then, in case I do need to call you?

Sure. [... Oh--] Name's Fiddleford McGucket.

[So you know the name of who you're calling here and all when attempting to reach us.]

[Wheatley couldn't help but giggle at the name.]

Alright then, McGucket, can I have a phone number to go with a name?

[Wheatley doesn't understand how the network works around here.]

The name's Wheatley, by the way.

It's a pleasure to meet ya Wheatley.

[Right, about that number--]

Also, I should tell you that communication here doesn't run on numbers: as long as you've got my name, you should be able to contact me right away.

Oh. Convenient.

Thank you! I'll give you a call when I can!
