[Why do you never bring me out, mun? How can I be a companion cube if I have no one to companion to? I should be places. Companioning with people. And maybe getting melted.

...I don't want to get melted, though. It makes me sad. Like my heart is melting, too. Even though it doesn't hurt...

...Why can't I ever see my companion, Mun? I miss her.]

[Is that a... cube? With hearts on it?

This reeks of a trap.]

hehehe c:

[bestcompanionev]

[Companion cube would never trap you!

It just wants to be your friend! Don't you want to be its friend????]

[galaxysaving]

[Just. Skeptical staring.

She takes a tentative step towards it. And another. And finally enough of them that she's right next to the cube, crouching down and inspecting it.]

[bestcompanionev]

[Hello. Person. Hello person. HELLO PERSON.

It is happy to be near you.

Can't you feel it's happiness?]

[bestcompanionev]

[What? What is it?

Why are you staring at it?]

[youvegotsuckersluck]

[willing to take a risk. ZOOM! He scrambles out from his hiding place. Scoops up the cube and RUNSLIKEHELL!]

[bestcompanionev]

[...Eeek! A companion!

...It's nice.

Hello. Running person.]

[youvegotsuckersluck]

Gottahidegottahide before she sees us!

[scramble and dives behind some pipes]

[bestcompanionev]

[Her?

The big one?

...She'll try to melt companion cube again!]

[youvegotsuckersluck]

[that's ok. Doug has you bundled up now and hanging off his back why he scurries along low to the ground to stay out of sight.]

Run hide, always moving...objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless crushed by mashy spike plates.

[bestcompanionev]

[Don't worry. Companion cube will protect you from the mashy spike plates. Companion cube is very sturdy.

Unless there's fire.]

[ooc: BTW mirror tfp starscream, so...essentially nicer]

[distortedscream]

[Frag common sense and caution, Starscream's SCIENCE SENSES ARE TINGLING--so immediately if gingerly pick up the small strange metal cube, since his claws are so much larger. Who made it, what is its function, where did it come from? Its size indicated a human inventor, or an inventor that was human-sized.]

ooc: i'll take your word for it ^^

[bestcompanionev]

[Yes. Companion's cube inventor was very human size.

Or. Robot sized. Companion cube can't really remember who made it right now.

Companion cube isn't sure that matters, though. Hello.]

Re: ooc: i'll take your word for it ^^

[distortedscream]

[Still carefully handles the cube, rolling it around in his claws, examining it from all angles.]

Re: ooc: i'll take your word for it ^^

[bestcompanionev]

[What are you doing? Companion cube is not used to being rolled around like this...]

Re: ooc: i'll take your word for it ^^

[distortedscream]

[Starscream tapped the cube. Should he try prying it open to examine its insides?]

Re: ooc: i'll take your word for it ^^

[bestcompanionev]

[Don't do that!

There's nothing inside companion cube.

Or.

Companion cube doesn't think there is.

It's never checked.]

Re: ooc: i'll take your word for it ^^

[distortedscream]

[Another thought occurs to him. Perhaps voice-activated?]

Hello?

Re: ooc: i'll take your word for it ^^

[bestcompanionev]

[Companion cube is sadly unable to speak.

Though you might get a sense of how sad this makes it.]

Re: ooc: i'll take your word for it ^^

[distortedscream]

[Strange...did Starscream just feel how sad it was? Could feelings be made more...tangible? Sensory waves and such?]

[Starscream absent-mindedly bounces the cube slightly in his claw.]

Re: ooc: i'll take your word for it ^^

[bestcompanionev]

[That's fun! Bouncing. Bouncing. Bouncing.

What is a cube to do except bounce, really?]

Re: ooc: i'll take your word for it ^^

[distortedscream]

[Starscream abruptly stopped bouncing. Had the cube been...happy?]

[silentrunning]

[Scamper scamper scamper hug! She missed you toooo!]

[bestcompanionev]

[Chell! It's a Chell!

It missed you, Chell! VERY MUCH.

You won't let it go, will you?]

[silentrunning]

[Heck no she won't. It is being hugged and snuggled, and she doesn't care what anybody thinks of that. You were missed, little cube. So missed. Even though she's living in a huge, weird, sometimes scary Castle... At least there aren't turrets.]

[bestcompanionev]

[Companion cube would protect Chell from them if there were. From turrets and lasers and weird energy blasts. Anything, really.

And all it asks for is snuggles. It's awesome like that.]
