ID UNDER CUT

BEGIN ID:

A black and white sketchy animatic.

Gordon looks down apologetically.

Gordon: "I-I dunno. I'll like, do something to make that up to y'all. Like, in real life-"

He looks up and smiles nervously.

Alyx shoves him. She has a bandana across her forehead, fingerless gloves, a short vest, and a ripped sleeveless hoodie. She grins deviously at him and pokes his chest.

Alyx: "Give me that flashlight! Drop it! Right now!"

She tries to yank the front panel off the HEV suit, shown through her vibrating rapidly as he fingers are curled under the plating. Benrey comes in from the left and puts a hand on Gordon's shoulder, staring at him. Benrey does not have a helmet and his shadow/hair covers half his head. He is wearing a jumpsuit and has a sparse mustache.

Benrey: "Yeah, give me everything you have.

Gordon bursts out laughing, causing Alyx and Benrey to fall back. Alyx grips the ladder next to them for balance. The camera zooms out to show they are in an alleyway with posters on the walls, the ladder, and a dumpster. Bubby is sitting on the dumpster.

Gordon puts his gun arm over his face like a facepalm and hands Benrey his crowbar.

Gordon: "Yes, sir!"

Gordon gives Alyx a pistol, which is shown through him 'holding' it out with his gun arm and a menu above them that shows his arsenal. He gives her the pistol, then a grenade.

Gordon: "Yes, sir!"

The grenade drops and explodes, resulting in an ear ringing sound effect. Bubby has his hands over his face and exclaims in pain. Coomer pokes his head out of the dumpster.

Gordon puts his head against the wall, bracing himself against it as Alyx laughs. Benrey is rubbing his eyes. There is an explosion mark between Alyx and Gordon, where the grenade dropped.

Cut to a little later. Alyx shoves Gordon to the ground.

Alyx: "Jump him! You got any change in your pockets?"

She looms over him then leans down, grinning and tauntingly cocking her head.

Alyx: "CHUMP? BITCH?"

An image of Pepe the Frog on the floor of a McDonalds, all his food spilled out pathetically with his eyes tearing up is shown- but edited so that it's wearing glasses and the HEV suit to resemble Gordon.

Gordon: "No-"

The Pepe image is gone, replaced with a drawing of Gordon on the ground, looking up as Alyx and Benrey's shadows come into view. His mouth is wobbly and he's got big wet pathetic eyes.

Alyx kicks Gordon while he lays down, Benrey smacks him with the crowbar. Laughing and hitting sound effects are heard.

The screen goes black for a second.

Alyx points forward, yelling with her hand on her hip.

Alyx: "HEY, GOON!"

It's shown that Alyx is speaking to Gordon, who has his arms dangling in front of him and looking up at Alyx wimpily. They are in a junkyard. Alyx jabs her thumb to the right.

Alyx: "Go find me some scrap!"

Gordon sulks off.

Gordon: "Yes, ma'am."

Alyx crosses her arms with a smug smile as Coomer laughs in the background.

hope you don't mind me asking, but i'm treating myself games for my bday and i for the life of me cannot decide between skyrim se or the dishonored 2 + prey bundle that steam has and i think you've played all three? if it's not much trouble i'd love to hear your opinion on which one i should get. ty v much ♡

heya anon, i don't mind at all, and happy birthday !!!!!!!! 💕🎂

i actually haven't played prey yet but i desperately want to since ive heard its VERY good, but between skyrim and dishonored 2 . . . its a super tough choice bc theyre both amazing but i'll never pass up an opportunity to recommend dishonored to someone !! especially when it comes w another great game on top of that !

dishonored is seriously AMAZING and dishonored 2? iconic, showstopping, fantastic etc etc etc.... the atmosphere and stories and charas and worldbuilding are so brilliant and the mechanics are probably one of my favourites from any gave ive ever played ! so if u want an amazing linear story w awesome chars, thats defintely the way to go !

ALTHO.... in the end it also just comes down to what you personally are looking for in a game ! while prey/dishonored is a set chara/set story kinda deal, skyrim on the other hand is amazing if you like rpgs and more open world games that you can just.....hang out in yknow? plus u will get a LOT of hours from skyrim bc theres sososos much u can do ! so yea if ur looking for a good game to like, make ocs in or whatnot, that might be a better bet?

but anyway since u asked for a rec im just gonna cast my vote in for the bundle this time since they are both criminally underrated imo ! 😊 thank u so much for the ask and happy bday again !

i may never sit down to write this bc it’s super sappy and not really my niche but like, so. yknow the fic trope of 2+ chars getting stuck in an airport, usually in winter/holidays, bc their plane gets delayed a bunch? and usually theyre strangers at first but they bond over having fuckall to do and being trapped. anyway, uh, lewthur (maybe lewvithur?) with that

they’re both trying to get to tempo, which the closest airport to is so tiny that they’re almost the only people on the flight. lewis is flying home for the holidays after being away for a while (maybe he���s studying somewhere else?) and very excited to see his family again. i think maybe this is the first time arthur’s been to tempo - ie this is when he moves in with lance - bc why else would he not know lewis? 

n then their flight gets delayed for a storm and etc etc
