hello, meet broody mcbrooderson.

[obfuskate]

[Hey, Smash Academy. You're looking bright and lively today, the sun beating down on your vivacious and ecstatic little heads. Butterflies are fluttering, birds are chirping, and hedgehogs are cursing the very beings who brought them here.

Wait, what? Something's out of place there.

Make that not multiple hedgehogs, but just one single, solitary crimson-streaked 'hog. He's exploring with focused intent, eying whatever of interest catches his sight. What is up with this guy? Why is he here? What's with his investigative demeanor?

Most importantly of all, why does he look so freaking grumpy? Sheesh, rat, lighten up. ಠ_ಠ]

Comments

why have you done this to me

[treasurehuntress]

[Sheesh, rat, lighten up.]

Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

/because i can/ >8]

[obfuskate]

[um what who is being such a wise guy

wise lady

w/e the point is Shadow does not approve of that remark at all, flips around to respond in the form of a nasty retort, and --

Wait, what?]

... Rouge. [Well, that. is kind of. the last person he expected to find here. All things considered? GEEZ WOMAN LAST HE KNEW YOU WERE IN THE ARK LIKE AN HOUR AGO. An hour ago for his time, at least.]

What are you doing here?

:'(

[treasurehuntress]

Who, me? Just doing what I do best.

I didn't think you'd be so surprised to see me.

[adios_asshole]

[Hey today must be a two-for-one on the grumpy department, because Shinji is ALWAYS grumpy no matter what aww yeah.

Also he's just walking by, not even giving you a second glance.]

[obfuskate]

[Yet as they walk past each other, Shadow's quills bump quite roughly against Shinji's... upper leg? Torso? Generally somewhere in that area, depending on how tall that dude is.

He halts for a moment, not bothering to turn his head more than necessary for his peripheral vision.]

Watch where you're going.

He is 177cm (5'10")

[adios_asshole]

[Oh yeah like Shinji's gonna just apologize--okay no he scowls down at him with a murderous gaze in his eyes. His voice is pretty punk-like.]

You watch where you're going, rat.

[vela_nova]

[They were never formally introduced, but she knew who he was.]

Shadow, isn't it?

[obfuskate]

[...

who is this cat chick and why is she addressing him]

How do you know who I am? Who are you?

[vela_nova]

I don't expect you'd remember me. We've only ever met once before.

I'm Blaze.

[iamtheeggman]

Oh, YIPPEE. YOU'RE back.

[obfuskate]

[Oh, yes, after already hearing from Rouge, him being here is no longer a surprise.]

'Back' is the incorrect term, Doctor.

[iamtheeggman]

Fine, then what do YOU call it when you disappear for however long and then return? Because I sure call that coming BACK!

[operatingbuddy]

Hello. You appear to be lost. Perhaps I can assist.

[obfuskate]

!

[Uh, sup, robot. Sup, very unknown robot capable of speech.]

... Hm. [He steps over to the robot and carefully looks him over.] I see... Your build is different from the Doctor's usual technique.

[He straightens up a little and looks over to the robot, his expression quite flat. He responds almost automatically, as if the term were pre-programmed into him:] I am in no need of assistance.

[Unless...

Hm. Actually, maybe he could get a little out of this 'bot. He cocks an eyebrow.]

What do you know of the heads of this academy?

[more like hands HAHA... HA... sigh]

[operatingbuddy]

The headmasters of Smash Academy are Master Hand and Crazy Hand. They are large, anthropomorphic, disembodied hands wearing white gloves. Master Hand is an effective administrator, while Crazy Hand favours randomness and chaos.

[alltheparadoxes]

[Hey he saw that black hedgehog before while he was on missions. But seeing how this place gets people from not just different places but different time... Would the other know him?

He just stands off to the side, looking over at the other.]

[obfuskate]

[you know, normally, he wouldn't give much of a shit

but considering Sonic and that... horribly pink chick were the only two hedgehogs he has ever had to deal with, Silver kinda caught his eye. Not to mention the fact that something felt... off... about him.

He felt something far too familiar about him in regards to the energy he felt radiate from him, but what? He knew he never met him before, and just- just-!]

... Hedgehog!

[alltheparadoxes]

[Turns out that this Shadow was from a time before the two met. Not that much happened even when they had met.

He gives a nod.] And i know who you are. Shadow.

[baad_romance]

[Brooding party. Except this one brought the cigarette smoke.]

[obfuskate]

[And he is not liking it. At all. He fans his hand intently to try to waft the smoke in another direction.]

Watch it.

[baad_romance]

[Whoops. He actually didn't mean to bug another person.

Animal.

Whatever.]

Sorry, didn't mean to.

[He put it out.]

[close_your_eyes]

[there's a young man in a different uniform standing off to the side, staring at the weird rat as he flicked his lighter open and closed.

Why was he staring at you? Who knows... but he was staring at you intensely.]

[originalthecharacter]

[yeah okay he honestly wouldn't give a shit except for the fact that this stare was kind of

really deep

uh. that is just plain off-putting.]

... [He gives a sour stare right back.] Why are you watching me?

[poisonclaws]

[And there's a really tall...cat(?) dressed in purple trench coat snickering at the rat.]

Why so grumpy?

[obfuskate]

I don't see how that is any of your business.

[Holy shit Big is cameoing look at this it really is Sonic Adventure 2.





oh wait]
