On upcoming event and castmate hunting...

[skullphones]

 Dude. No.

You can't be seriously looking for more GGs at a time like this, can you? Who the hell are you to try and get more of my friends into that goddamn tower?

...Look, whatever. You can have that creepy old man do his funky sleep magic on me. I don't care if people see my nightmares. I don't care if they see twelve-year-old snothead me running around Benten-cho, or... or me not disabling the reactors in time, or Rokkaku's tower. I'd take a million of Rokkaku's tower compared to this one. 

But you can not try to bring more of the others into this. Isn't Rhyth enough?

apologizing right here, right now....

[reachforthestars]

Well, there's this compulsion that most muns have where they just can't help but want to find dudes to chill with. Particularly for horror games or if we're not as mainstream. Y'know, the idea that misery loves company.

Which is a bit strange, isn't it? With how Shadow acts, you'd think misery would prefer to be alone

Don't apologize. Never apologize. <3

[skullphones]

Well, this is misery, alright. [HUFFY BEAT IS HUFFY.] Guess it is strange, but flat-out evil is the word I'd use.

Well then~ (I'm still going to keep Raphael away from this post... >>; )

[reachforthestars]

Dastardly, antagonistic, woefully melodramatic... I think of a few.

But it is pretty hard to find Rudies running around. [grins] S'been a loooooooooooooooong time, man.

[skullphones]

[WOW, RUDE] Hey, I've had some luck! There are like two Gums running around here -- freaky as all hell, but whatever -- and if my game didn't have a cap on character slots, we'd have Yoyo too.

Thank god for character slots, is all I can say.

[reachforthestars]

Wait, there are Rudies running around? When did this happen? It was while I was preparing for the Olympics with Mario, wasn't it? I bet it was.

But I totes understand where you're coming from with the character slots, dude. So practical and useful for keeping all sorts of people from getting in over their heads.

[skullphones]

You were in the Olympics? With Mario? [Sorry, he's just going to take a moment to--AHAHAHAHAHA]

[reachforthestars]

You laugh now but just wait until I win the 100m freestyle! [... Sonic, should you really be pointing out your worst skill?]

[skullphones]

Oh man, I am so scared. [And he reaches down to pat Sonic on the head, still sniggering.]

[reachforthestars]

[mind your hand, wouldn't want to cut it open on one of those raised quills right now]

Hey! Show some respect 'round here!

[skullphones]

[Unknown word identified: 'respect'.]

[Searching... searching... searching...]

Aww, did I make you mad?

[...Search failed.]

LIIIIIIIIIIIFE hi, I'm late to this

[reachforthestars]

[there is this Look on Sonic's face... (it might just be the Look that Shadow or Blaze or Knuckles gives him sometimes)

Before he dissolves into laughter] No, no, I can't- even... How do people keep a straight face when doing that?

Some things just don't change from meta space to meta space, I guess. [he still punches Beat's arm shin though]

[skullphones]

[Prompted, Beat folds his arms and looms over Sonic with an extremely severe expression on his face. ...The goggles and bright red hair kind of kill it, though, so he drops it and shrugs.] They spend free time scowling at their cats, I dunno.

[He snickers like a kid and kicks Sonic lightly on the side.] Love you too.

[reachforthestars]

[those goggles are pretty awesome otherwise. IDK, I would have digged having Beat's goggles as a PSO accessory ...] But one of them is a cat.

Always~ Gotta stick together, y'know?

[skullphones]

Oh yeah, that's right, everyone you know is from the petting zoo. They scowl at their humans, then.

Yup. ...Just don't stick too close, or else you're going to end up apped to Fort Butterflies-and-Fun up there.

[reachforthestars]

[Sonic opens his mouth to retort, only to stop and actually think about it...] That actually sounds like something Shads would do. But if we're going for a full disclosure, they scowl at everyone- Who are you calling a petting zoo!

For one, who would ever want to pet Vector? Or worse, Omega.

Would love to keep you company but... [he waves his hand, then holds up two fingers] Can't though, already in two games.

[grin] Guess I'll just have to drop by and say 'hi' more often then, huh?

[skullphones]

...Ouch. [Look, he knows Vector from the headspace, okay. Wouldn't pet that guy in a million years.]

If you think you can handle it. 'S pretty intense. [And that troll grin is back.]

[reachforthestars]

[Would that explain the headphones?] Pretty much.

S'cool, bro, after you've been through some of the things I've been through, everything else is just a walk in the park. [Sonic just returns the grin with every bit of cockiness] Y'know how continuity is for guys like us.

[oh, Sega...]

[skullphones]

[Look man, he doesn't care what anyone says. Vector is a poser. He rocked these headphones first.]

Continuity. [Just mention of the word makes him groan.] Oh my god, don't even get me started on continuity. Mun just threw in the towel completely trying to figure that one out.

[reachforthestars]

I don't blame your mun, man. It just seems to be something the higher-ups just don't care about... I mean, did you see what they gave me for a birthday present? [because Crisis City and Water Palace in Generations. What is even going on?]

[shrugs] Well, guess the party was worth it.

[skullphones]

I did. [He nods, but his sentiment is the same as Sonic's; what even... is that game. Unfortunately, the little stubby Sonic was several years before it even came close to the Dreamcast's time, not to mention JSRF. So yeah, classic Sonic? Haunts his nightmares. Legit.]

But hey, you made it all that time. Counts for something, right?

[reachforthestars]

[But Sonic's so cute and pudgy when he was a kid. 8( I mean, it's nothing like the DC's style but there's something to be said for progress. Rock that cel shading, Beat, rock it]

Aww, c'mon. Isn't your game out for download play now? [he pushes Beat playfully] Give yourself some credit. 'sides, one of us needs to stick around to help out the new guys too.

[skullphones]

[Yo Sonic, he's really proud of your development as a character, he's gonna let you finish, but there are some things man was never meant to see. Classic Sonic was one of them.]

[Also, he looked damn good with that cell shading, thank you very much.]

Oh, that's right. [He folds his arms and sighs, but there's still a smile on his face.] Oh my god, I swear. Those kids couldn't play their way out of a paper bag if I wasn't around.

[reachforthestars]

[Oh, says the guy who's two games can't even agree with each other? You should just be grateful you were created at the end of the 90's, bro]

[laugh] Dunno, some of them seem to be doing all right. But lemme guess, you gonna take credit for that too?

[skullphones]

[At least he only has two games. How many clunkers are there in your resume, Sonic?]

Well, duh. [He flips his arms up in an exaggerated shrug.]

[reachforthestars]

[hey, they weren't all bad. 8( Just... terribly glitchy at times. He also has that somewhat unpleaseable fanbase so YMMV]

Man, the last ten years have been such a drag without everyone. Gotta admit, I missed you and your ego.

[because clash of egos is fun for Sonic apparently? Is he making a joke? IDEK]
