Once again, another tribute to and featuring their lovable characters: the Bounce Chix.

(yeah, the title's too long for DA without a 'w' to stand for 'with'
-----

With BC3's release being imminent (this Valentine's Day), I figure there's enough time for another little color tribute pic for Bandito and White Lotus. Plus, a tribute to one of my recent fave games...yes, Portal. ^^

Seems like the Chix have bounced into one of the many test chambers found in Portal.

Andi, sexy techno geek that she is, immediately grabs and figures out the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (aka 'ortal Gun'. With glee, she fires two portals, then carefully starts to crawl through one...half-emerging from the other side of the room. She's amazed at the device and is ready to experiment with it some more...

"I'd rather do a little experimenting of my own," Jane says with a smirk, then grabs Andi's lower legs as they stick out of the blue portal still. One familiar red feather begins to poke and rub all over Andi's poor feet.

Hailey's a little confused as she sees Jane feverishly tickle her roommate's soles on one side while Andi's upper half drops the portal gun and laughs madly from the other half of the room. She suddenly gets an idea and straddles Andi's back, facing into the blue portal.

"I wonder if this will work," Hailey muses, sticking her arms through the wormhole. She glances over her shoulder and is surprised to see her arms poking out of the orange portal. Confusion passes quickly...she watches her hands wave to Jane (quite 'busy' right now), and then moves them to the squirming Andi's torso. Yet another crimson feather starts working...this time between Andi's breasts...as Hailey's free hand fingers and feathers the blond girl's back and underarms.

Somehow, my character Aello (who showed up in a previous BC tribute) ended up bounced in here too...although this time she's more of a spectator. She was glancing around the room as the 'fun' started, noticed a sign pointing toward where they should be using the strange weapon if they want to proceed to the next chamber. The mirth from all the gals (especially poor Andi) gets her attention, prompting her to sigh, shake her head and wait for the Chix to finish their fun...although she's tempted to jump in...

Ael hops onto a strange heart-symbolized cube in the corner, notices a plate atop the thing and just watches the 'experiment' continue.

"Looks like we'll be here for awhile...ah well, at least the cake isn't a lie," she giggles, holding up the plate.

C'mon, Andi was the perfect foil for this idea.

Techie gal learns first-hand the danger of a portal wormhole gun when surrounded by mischievous female friends.

Hopefully the renditions of the Chix are good enough to be recognizable and worthy of Bandito/Lotus' own designs. I particularly like how Hailey's expression came out...confused but having fun. Aello was an addition, merely due to showing up in a past BC tribute series, but I just had to have someone referring to the Portal memes you'd expect (aka cake)...and to be atop the Weighted Companion Cube!

All four gals are in Chell's (Portal's protagnist) outfit...that being an orange jumpsuit with bare limbs. Of course, I'd say the Chix have lowered their zippers quite a bit more than Chell...and Aello made her own 'alteration' in her style. No heelsprings though...didn't want to interfere with the feathers. ^^

Unfortunately, yeah, I petered out on the background for this one (ran out of juice...plus the last pic's bg wiped me out). Then again most of Portal's test chambers have pretty simple walls/floors.

Only wish I could've fit GlaDOS or a turret in here...maybe looking 'confused' to how the test subjects are using the equipment. ^^

Anyway, hopefully it's a worthy tribute to both the Chix and to Portal, and hope you enjoy. Consider it a Valentine's image of 'loving' the characters (plus the Cube's showing a heart anyway ).

As usual, Andi, Jane and Hailey are characters by and . Aello's mine.
