Eyeing a couple places maybe; new muse is hesitant~

[doubletailpilot]

Mun?

You sure this is a good idea? I mean, you already got some of those other guys to deal with. Plus, I'm new 'round here! And I thought Sonic moved too fast sometimes...

[A small, exasperated groan.]

Y'know, if even you say you know what you're doin', I'm still not so sure. And I can't just up and leave South Island!! If Robotnik gets up to something and I'm not there to help and this ends up a whole big mess when I get back, Sonic's gonna be mad and it's gonna be all your fault!

[The fox is flailing as he rants, but pfft, who listens to muses when they get like this anyway?]

[twotailmechanic]

Calm down, it'll be fine. Time remains still in your world when you're in a game. It'll be like you never left. Though in my case, I'm still at home, but connected to a magic internet community.

[doubletailpilot]

[And at first Tails here is a bit startled to see another... well, HIM running about! Oh god is this real life? But then he pauses because okay this is neat.]

...Oh, w-wow! It's... me!

[He cocks his head at the OTHER part, curiously.]

But time stands still when you leave? Hm... I wonder how that works. It makes sense since stuff would get all weird and it would create a paradox if it didn't, but the mechanics behind it...

[He cups his chin in his palm thoughtfully. ]

[twotailmechanic]

Yep. It's pretty common to run into multiple versions of you or people you know in this place.

I'm not sure either, but my mun thinks it's because of "Wibbly Wobbly Timey-Wimey" or something like that.

[doubletailpilot]

Hm. Makes sense, if you believe in multi-verse theory.

Not sure if I like the idea of multiple Robotniks bein' around though. Though I guess that means there's plenty'a Sonics and... us running around to whump 'em!

But I still don't really get this whole GAME thing. Is that why we're here? So these mun guys can just throw us anywhere?

[twotailmechanic]

Oh I believe it. I remember there was a Metal Sonic in my game, but he was from an alternate timeline and he's been dropped a long time ago, before we moved here from LJ.

Oh don't worry. Sonic is pretty popular so you'll run into him a lot. There's a lot more Sonics than Eggmans.

Well it's more to "play" us and entertain them. Usually they like to torture us, but they can be nice. Just don't expect them to listen to you when you complain.

[doubletailpilot]

Metal Sonic? [He shudders. Metal Sonic was a nasty piece of work.] Dunno why anyone'd wanna play HIM.

Oh, cool! [He brightens at that!] Though that's gotta get confusing... And if multi-verse theory really IS in practice here, I wonder if there'd be any EVIL Sonics. [He pauses, not really wanting to entertain THAT thought as he shakes his head.]

Hm. I think this mun's kinda mixed in both those things. One of the others here is really mad at her for stuff she's got planned, but the guy in the sunglasses is really happy about somethin' else she's got planned...

But the guy in the sunglasses who's happy with her's a really bad guy, so I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

[Pffft time will tell, Tails. 8D Time will tell~!]

[twotailmechanic]

[He sympathizes, especially since his version is even worse.] Mun says she's only seen one person play him, but I'm sure there are others out there.

[He shrugs.] Not really once you get used to it. Mun says she's seen a couple evil Sonics, though they are green, not blue and they go by the name "Scourge".

Mine's kinda that way too. But at least I can take comfort in the fact that there is a certain line or two that she won't cross. Everything else is pretty much fair game.

Guy in sunglasses?

[doubletailpilot]

If someone's gonna play Robotnik, I gotta think there's people who'll play anyone.

[...Well, that's a valid point. :| If it exists, someone RPs them, it's like a law.]

Scourge? [Headtilt.] Hm. I'll have to keep an eye out then!

Yeah, my mun's saying she won't let anything too bad happen to me, but it's the... still bad that kinda worries me. Especially if she goes through with sendin' me to a game.

Yeah. His name's Wesker, he was one of the first guys here. [His ears flatten a little.] He's... kinda scary, so I just stay away from him.

[twotailmechanic]

Pretty much.

[Much like Rule 34.]

Also keep an eye out for a version of us with grey bangs and in clothes. He's an evil version of us and goes by Miles.

Then our muns are pretty alike. What games is she thinking of sending you?

Mun says there's one in the game I'm in. I haven't met him yet, but I hope I don't.

[doubletailpilot]

[Tails just scrunches up his nose at that. Going by Miles? Pfft.]

Miles? That's just weird. This multi-verse stuff's gonna be hard to get used to.

Well, she was lookin' at a couple'a places. One's called Ink City, and this other place is some kinda dream place called The Wake. The Wake's apps don't open until next month though, so maybe she'll change her mind before then...

[He looks over at... himself warily.]

Be better to keep it that way. The guy's really bad news from the stuff I've seen 'im do.

[twotailmechanic]

[Seriously. He doesn't like going by that either plus it reminds him of his shadow too much and no I don't mean the hedgehog. ] I know. Mirror universes are always awkward, but yeah, the multi-verse does take some getting used to.

She's heard of the first one, but not the second one.

Sounds like it. I'll try my best to stay away.

[doubletailpilot]

Hmm... [Blinkblink] So if this is a multi-verse thing and you're a different version of me and I'm a different version of you... [He trails off, looking just a bit confused for a second before shaking his head. Hopefully you know what he means!] Then I wonder what's different about you, or me, or...!

[He cuts himself off again, flustered.] Y'know what I mean! ...Hopefully.

Yeah, in some ways, he's even worse than Robotnik. [And in his eyes that's quite a condemnation. :|; ]

[twotailmechanic]

Most likely a few differences. I know I'm older than most versions of me, so I would guess I'm technically from an alternate future.

[He nods.] I know what you mean.

Yikes. It certainly takes a lot to be worse than Eggman.

[doubletailpilot]

...The future? [And he looks so awed by that because ahhh that's a pretty awesome prospect~!] Well, alternate future or not, you guys're still whumpin' Robotnik, right?

[Tails shudders.] Yeah, 'least Robotnik never cut people open or turned 'em into monsters. You can always BREAK the robots to set people free - [He pauses.] Eggman?

[twotailmechanic]

Yep. It was about a month or two ago that we just did that actually.

Yeah, that would be horrible. Eggman is the name Robotnic goes by these days. He stopped going by that name years ago.

[doubletailpilot]

Yeah, same here!! Robotnik was tryin' to use the Master Emerald to power up his machines off the floating island, but we stopped him!

... [Okay, that actually gets a laugh out of Tails.] Sounds like somethin' Sonic would call 'im!

[twotailmechanic]

That kinda sounds familiar. He has stolen it or has tried to steal it a couple times before, but he hasn't done that recently.

Funny thing. Sonic was actually the first one to start calling him that and Eggman got pretty angry at that. Though he apparently got over that and decided to adopt it instead. I guess he assumed nobody would call him by real name anymore so he might as well go with it.

[doubletailpilot]

Huh. So you guys know Knux where you're from too! Neat!

[Tails just has a good laugh at that.] If Sonic had called 'im Egg Belly or somethin' worse, then fighting 'im would almost be funny!

[twotailmechanic]

[Huh. He doesn't recall ever calling Knuckles that or hearing that niokname before.] Not just him. There's other friends too actually.

[He can't help but laugh at that one.] That would pretty funny. Oh I almost forgot. Last year, Sonic came up with "Baldy Mc Nosehair" though we had a little help with that one.

[doubletailpilot]

[Ffft Sonic gives everyone bad/punny nicknames for the rest of forever] Other friends?

[...THAT gets Tails nearly doubled over laughing. Because Baldy McNosehair, that's why.] That's the best! I GOTTA mention THAT one to Sonic!!

[twotailmechanic]

[Seriously.] Let's see. Amy, Cream, Rouge, Vector, Espio, Charmy, Blaze... I think Shadow as well, but I dunno if he and Sonic are actual friends now.

You really should. He'll love that one.

[doubletailpilot]

Wow. You guys know a lotta people in your world! Maybe we'll get to meet 'em too! [Especially Amy, she sounds like someone Sonic would love to meet. 8D /droll]

Yeah! An' then who knows, he might actually up and go by it!

[...And thinking of that ("I am Baldy McNosehair, the GREATEST SCIENTIFIC GENIUS in the WORLD!!" got a chuckle out of the mun off-screen because she's oh so mature. 8Db]

[twotailmechanic]

Possibly or new people that I don't even know. [Oh you have no idea...]

That would be hilarious if Eggman started to go by Baldy McNosehair. I don't think any of us could take him seriously. Well, I don't think Sonic does, but that's just normal.

[That makes this mun laugh too.]

[doubletailpilot]

Y'know, maybe I was wrong about all this. It might not be so bad! It's neat getting to meet a whole other ME!

...I just hope the mun doesn't take that as a reason to send me off somewhere too soon. [He looks about warily.]

Ha, yeah! But like we got a reason to take Robotnik seriously, seeing as how we beat 'im every time!

[twotailmechanic]

Most of the time, yeah it is.

Mine would suggest the game I'm in, but it doesn't allow doubles and the other game she's in, there isn't anybody there from our "canon".

Exactly. Although I honestly just wish he would just give up at this point as he'll never win.
