Okey this is told from the point of view of my OC, Lilla. If you can squint you can kind of see who's who already. I know the summary says it's mostly GLADoS, but it's really the origins of all the cores. Just gonna bring closure to that. She's about, 7 or 8 here.
7 Years Ago
I burst out of my room with Cathy trailing close behind. I sped through the hallway, making plenty of noise as I went along. I ignored everyone else's muffled protests and hurried to the stairway. I mean, how many times do you get to meet a new person here? Never! I make my way down the steps, halfway down now, oh, I can't take it anymore! I mount the banister and ride it down, "Incoming!" I was about to make my landing when I slam into another body mass and the both of us sprawl onto the floor. "oh great, it's you." Ugh. James. I can't stand him. He's only three years older than me yet he finds it fun to tease me about how stupid I am. I am NOT stupid, I'm just ignorant. Not my fault I can't pay attention. I roll my eyes at him, "what do you want James?" his dark eyes flash with anger, "I want nothing from YOU Lilla, I was having a great day until you decided to fly down the banister." "Yeah, so what? I like to have fun, unlike you mister know it all." "Dumb." "Why don't you go read a book or something?" he crosses his arms and huffs along on his 'merry' way. Jerk. Wouldn't I love just to wring his sorry little ne-"your visitor is here children." My rather… angry thoughts are interrupted by the intercom. I don't know who that person really is but they apparently know what we're doing 24/7. Creepos.
Me and everyone else gather around outside and wait for the 'visitor' to show up. A woman walks up the dirt path, she stops a bit in front of us. She looks an awful lot like all those other women from two years ago. I shudder at the thought of back then. Richard shakes my shoulder, thankfully interrupting me before I could think about it too hard. I mouth a 'thank you' and he nods before the lady begins speaking. "Hello children, it's been a while since I last saw you guys. And I regret that. Well, I am here with some good news! You are going to have someone else joining you! Come here Wheatley, don't be shy. These are your new friends, say hello," a boy walks out from behind her. He's a bit older than me I think. Maybe nine. He has funny hair, it's kind of red, but not lots red like Jimmy's, who's is streaked harshly with bright red and black. But Wheatley's is a softer red, it looks awful lot like the orangey color of a sunset. He has glasses and freckles too. He waves a thin arm at us. Not only is his arm thin, but sos everything else. "Say something Wheatley," says the woman. He takes a deep breath, then speaks real fast in a funny voice, "good day my name is Wheatley, and I'm going to be staying here for quite a while. No need to worry though, my parents will come for me of course. My parents are great, fantastic really, and they like people, and me of course. My dad li-" "great. Fantastic really. But you're talking an awful lot buddy." It was Richard. Cathy giggles to my left. I smile at him, he's real funny. It'll be more fun with him around. "I'm Lilla, and it's nice to meet you Wheatley." He beams. The woman leaves and were all talking to him, even James and Jimmy, who don't typically talk to the others. Though James is correcting his grammar and Jimmy's making fun of his voice, we're all talking to each other. So I guess it's good.
