still so confused

[shadow_of_myself]

I started here in hopes of finding the truth about my past, but ever since I arrived, I've been getting all kinds of stories... I just don't know anything anymore.

Who am I? Who is "Shadow"? Why can't I remember anything?

That purple cat... She was the most confounding of all. A Knight of the Round Table? There's no way... But then I met that Knight.

[ Shakes his head, looking dismayed. ]

You brought me here, you told me that you would help me find the truth about my past. Was it all a farce? I'm not playing your games anymore.

Purple Cat? Did you see Sir Percival?

[notshadowfever]

Oh, Shadow! It's you again. There are so many of you around lately.

[shadow_of_myself]

Yes, that was her name... She mistook me for you.

[shadow_of_myself]

Doctor, I was wondering when I'd find you.

[notshadowfever]

Really, now? What can I do for you, Shadow?

[shadow_of_myself]

Why was I sealed in your base? What were those robots that looked like me?

Who am I?

[knight_of_the_lake]

Without my armor, we are identical. I was mistaken for you by a blue hedgehog.

[shadow_of_myself]

A blue hedgehog... I see. He seems to know who I am, too.

[knight_of_the_lake]

If what he spoke was true, you once tried to destroy the world with something called an Eclipse Cannon.

[shadow_of_myself]

I... I did that?

[ His ears flick, and it's true that it does sound familiar... His head aches trying to think about it. ]

[notshadowfever]

Hmm... I don't have any reason to lie to you here. It's all a very long story.

[shadow_of_myself]

Please! Tell me! I need to know... Everyone acts like they know me, but I don't remember anyone...

[knight_of_the_lake]

From what the blue hedgehog said, yes. Though as to why he did not tell me.

[shadow_of_myself]

[ Possibly more confused than before. ]

Why did I want to destroy the world? I need to know...

[knight_of_the_lake]

Speak with one known as Eggman. You were assisting him to do it. He may know.

[shadow_of_myself]

I was assisting Eggman? [ Nods. ] I already have questions for the Doctor. I'll ask him about that, too.

shit now I'm earwormed with "This Machine"

[ophiovacca]

Maybe you can make yourself a new identity.

It's a good tune.

[shadow_of_myself]

A new identity? [ He never thought about that. ] I don't think I could... not while everyone knows me as someone else.

[ophiovacca]

But that's not who you are, is it? Shouldn't you be who you are now, instead of who they remember you as~?

[knight_of_the_lake]

It would seem you are on the correct path.

[shadow_of_myself]

I was discovered in his base by Rouge, an ally of mine. She also knew me before... I'll need to ask her as well.

[shadow_of_myself]

But I have nothing right now... I don't even know my reason for being here, who created me...

[ophiovacca]

Hm~ that is a problem. Well, maybe your mundane can help you find what you're looking for. After all, this is a very strange place~

[shadow_of_myself]

So I've seen.

[ophiovacca]

[she gives him an honest smile.]

I hope that you can find it here. Things are confusing enough for us when we do have all the answers-- well, most of them, that is. I don't think anyone really knows all of them for sure. My own mundane is still plotting and expanding my world and past every day.
