There was only so long that a person could throw a rubber ball against a wall and catch it, over and over again, before said person got a little stir crazy and needed a rush of nicotine and a dose of fucking sunshine.

It was a nice day, again. Sid climbed the stairs up from the basement to the main section of the theater and then made his way up the aisle and toward the door leading outside, slamming his pack of cigarettes against an open palm repetitively as he went, packing the tobacco he hadn't actually touched since getting the pack. He'd been too preoccupied with the spliff. In fact, he was still a little hazy and relaxed from the joint he'd smoked that morning when he woke up. ...all right, it was an hour ago, but the point stood.

Sid squinted against the sunlight and plopped himself down on one of the front stairs, finally opening the pack of cigarettes and teasing one out. Pressing it between his lips, Sid fished out his lighter and lit it, shoving the lighter unceremoniously back into his pocket and pushing up his long sleeved undershirt, thinking to himself that it was probably a good idea to take that shirt off after he finished the smoke. He'd already had to shed his coat a few days ago, might as well let his undershirt join it.

Leaning against one of the posts holding up the railing to the steps leading up to the front door, Sid looked lazily out into the road. If he hadn't been so zoned out and focusing on a small cluster of pebbles and leaves on the ground a few feet in front of him, he might've noticed another person coming up the road toward the place where he was sitting.

"I read it." She lied. Though, it was hard to tell lies from truths when speaking to GLaDOS, she had this manner of speech that made her statements seem beyond reproach. "Does it bother you someone would write that?"

GLaDOS wasn't moving. If Sid had taken the time to notice he would see that she was standing quite still despite the rather obvious twitching in her exposed calves. GLaDOS was doing a very efficient job of ignoring the pain in her calves.

"I am from the enrichment center." She was really missing her enrichment center with it's acid filled pits and drones that would fire at anything that moved. She missed her control.

"Does it bother you that they said you were adopted?"

Sid pulled a face and shrugged. "Right, well, it's not right. Doesn't bother me, no," he replied. "Just makes me wonder who would give enough of a shit to bother," he added to answer her question. It didn't really make sense to Sid. What was the point of writing something like that about him for other people to see? It wasn't like being adopted was a crime, or anything. It just so happened to be bollocks in Sid's case, because he knew his mum and dad were his real mum and dad. Maybe it was that creepy bloke that had mentioned Chris.

Sid paused. If that was the case then didn't it stand to reason that it was possible that all these years, he'd been mistaken in thinking his mum and dad were his biological parents? No. No, didn't matter either way. His dad was dead, anyway, and his mum was too busy with her own life to care about him anymore, so it didn't matter whether they were really his parents or not since they were and would be absent, all the same.

When she spoke again, though, Sid was pulled out of his thoughts and he took another drag of the cigarette, looking back up at her. "Oh, right...where's that, then?" he asked, raising his eyebrows slightly. Shaking his head, Sid exhaled the rest of the smoke that hadn't come out with his words. "No, doesn't matter, really. It's just bollocks is all, so I dunno where they got their information," he replied casually, shrugging, in spite of the way his inner cogs were turning.
