More homeowner chell au ramblings because i can't sleep--

Glados can control all the general electrical functions of the house, i.e. lights, air conditioning, appliances, the doorbell...etc. She can't shift the walls and floors around like she can at aperture, but the basement reserved for her science projects is completely modular, per her request

Chell works at a cushy, unspecified programming-related job. What it is isn't super relevant, and she has no desire to move up, but the important part is that she makes a good amount of money from it

Chell initially had her bedroom on the 3rd floor but glados whined about not being able to see her when she's so high up, so she moves to the second floor to be level with her optic

Glados sometimes will change the tv channels if she doesn't like what chell wants to watch

Rattmann is there somehow. The odds were against him meeting chell again but by a great stroke of luck they wound up at the same company once more. He's in a higher position than her, laterally, but works alone in a secluded office, not liking to interact with people much. But he's incredibly good at what he does (his actual role is undecided i haven't thought about it yet)

Their coworkers "ship" them together (god it is an awful experience) because of how close they are and it drives them crazy, but refuting it would require a lot of explaining they don't want to do so they grin and bear the teasing. They are in hell

Doug is very not happy that glados is on the surface. But at least she's not killing people this time....question mark?

Chell and glados actually do have a designated "date night" every week where they like to dance together, chell holding onto one of glados's claws as she serenades her. Glados likes to hum along to the music

Their house isn't completely reliant on the city's main power grid, so they don't have to worry about blackouts much, but when there is an outage and they have to rely on generator power, it makes glados very "sleepy" and lethargic
