re: Sega's strange, strange canon with this particular character

[royalnova]

You've spent a long time trying to figure this out, you know. Perhaps you should merely step back and think about what you do know.

I came from an alternate dimension in two of the games you've played.
I came from an alternate timeline in another game you played. I wound up sealed in another dimension, but the events of the game were erased by itself...somehow?
And then, in the latest game, I mention both of these backstories, even though they seem, superficially, incompatible.

That is somewhat confusing. Royalty and the guardian of my world in one occurrence, sealed into a barely theoretical state of existence in another.

For what it's worth, I don't actively prefer either one. But I imagine that if you and I are to be going to a game, as you seem to be planning, it would be wise to just focus on one to the exclusion of the other. You should weigh them against each other carefu-
The alternate dimension. With the Sol Emeralds.
You're sure.
Somehow, I have a feeling you may have already decided this before I even said anything.

You know, I think there's one more occurrence, isn't there? It's not me, per say, but someone named 'Percival'?
...what do you mean 'don't go there?' Don't go where?

Those alternate times and places can get to be pretty tricky. Maybe you shouldn't put that much thought into it?

[royalnova]

[SIGH...]

I suppose if anyone else would have some experience with this kind of thing, it'd be you, right, Silver?

[kicks_silver]

In my experience, applying logic to these situations isn't possible, unless you want to give yourself a migraine.

[royalnova]

That much is becoming apparent, to the both of us.

I don't suppose you've ever had to deal with anything like this?

[kicks_silver]

I have.

In fact, the point I'm taken from, time has ceased to exist. Except for a space-time rift that was created due to Solaris being revived.

It's disorienting... [ Not to mention difficult, considering he saw Sonic's corpse before being brought here. ]

[royalnova]

...I see.

It sounds like, in that instance, all the attempts to keep those flames sealed were for nothing, then. That's...disheartening.

[ Nods. ] Mephiles killed Sonic, causing the Princess to cry. That was when Iblis was awakened, and the two merged.

[wontstopjust_go]

Woah, Sol Emeralds? What are those? Are they like the Chaos Emeralds? [ SA2 Sonic at your service. ]

[royalnova]

...what-- how can you even ask me a question like that, Sonic? Were you not paying attention to them at all before?

[wontstopjust_go]

Uh, I don't remember ever even seeing 'em before.
