Oh, c'mon--

[At first there's static. Give it a second, Sonic's just trying to-- there we go!

The feed starts up with a lovely close-up of Sonic himself, looking all smug. Yes, folks, you're looking at a blue, anthropomorphic hedgehog who looks... nothing like a hedgehog! Go figure.]

Okay, now that I've got this bracelet thing workin', yo! [He does a quick thumbs-up.]

Looks like we're in here for the long haul. Either that, or is this one messed up dream. I'm leanin' towards us being stuck, 'cause there's no way I'd have dreams without my speed. Not gonna ask about powers, since it's pretty obvious that we all lost 'em. What I do wanna know is how many of you guys aren't human. Or, heck, how many of ya used to be somethin' else before you came here. Already bumped into some ponies.

As for me, I'm still one way past cool hedgehog, and proud of it. Name's Sonic. Leader of the Freedom Fighters, hero of Mobius, and the coolest dude you'll ever meet. And before I came here? The fastest thing on two feet-- no, even better, on the whole planet! And now I'm hangin' out in Thor house. Seems like a pretty cool dude.

[He smiiirks, crossing his arms and leaning up against a wall. With all that out of the way, there's one big concern. ...sorta.]

And one more thing: Who's in the mood for some chili dogs? Can't bring life and color to this place on an empty stomach!

Didn't know hedgehogs were big fans of chili dogs.

But hey, if you find any, let me know. I could go for some too.

Are you kidding? There's nothing better than a chili dog, pal. I'd have to be crazy to hate 'em!

[But it's always cool to see someone else who likes 'em.]

Anyway, I was thinkin' of whipping some up. Just gotta see if there's supplies for 'em.

Hyahaha, I won't disagree with that. Still, a hedgehog? You're a lot different from the hedgehogs I've seen... not that I've really seen that many.

[ ...actually, has he seen any? eh, minor detail. ]

Man, I've been living on a budget lately, so it's pretty much been cup noodles every night... [ sigh. ] If I can eat well here, this place is paradise.

[At least he's taking it better than Edgeworth, who kept going on about how impossible it was for him to exist!]

Hah, I know how that goes. When the whole planet's ruled by a lame-brain like Robotnik, budgets don't even exist.

[ unlike edgeworth... amakusa just doesn't care enough to deny him. ]

Oooooh, some guy actually managed to pull off world domination where you come from? That's kind impressive. Even if he is a lame-brain.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

You look nothing like a hedgehog.

[Voice]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Dunno what hedgehogs you're used to, but I'm guessin' they aren't half as cool if they look totally different.

[Because what kinda hedgehog doesn't look like him and his uncle? Madness.]

[hero_in_training]

Chilli dogs? [He is not sure he knows what those are. Also Sonic is the strangest looking hedgehog he's even seen, but Link has seen weirder]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Impressive, maybe, but it's so not cool. The guy stole my uncle's technology to do it, turnin' everybody he could into a buncha robots.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Whoa, hold it! You mean you've never had a chili dog?

[GASP. Impossible.]

[hero_in_training]

No? I don't think I've ever heard of them before. [Thinkity think...nope, don't think so]

Robots too. [ a whistle. ] You come from one crazy place. And let me guess... you're trying to stop Robot Nick?

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Taken care of. 'Buttnik's toast now, but it took me and the other Freedom Fighters a decade to do it.

So who's top dog now? Or top hog, I guess.

[Voice]

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

They don't speak.

[Voice]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Well, it's not just hedgehogs who talk on Mobius. It's like I told that stuffy guy earlier. Squirrels, foxes, rabbits... heck, even dragons and krakens talk.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

[Top hog? Hahaha... oh man, that's great.]

We're still workin' that out. Problem is, Mobius is a mondo mess thanks to 'Buttnik's pollution.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Ya ever heard of hotdogs?

[Gotta start somewhere.]

video;

[satisfies]

You guys gotta deal with pollution too, huh? What about global warming?

video;

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Probably. Isn't that what happens when the air gets full of gas or somethin'?

[Sally would know better than him, really.]

'Cause Robuttnik totally spewed chemicals and gas into the air.

[satisfies]

It's a big problem back home where I come from. At least, people are making it out to be a big problem. I can't really say whether it's that huge a deal or not until the ice caps melt and we all drown, hyahahah.

You probably wanna avoid that happening to you guys too.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Hoo boy. Looks like we've got our work cut out for us. And that's on top of cleaning up Robotropolis and findin' a way to deroboticize everyone.

You've got a pretty full plate, don't ya? I can't say I envy that.

Just part of the hero's job description. I'd rather be busy than have nothin' to do.

[satisfies]

So you're a hero, huh? Guess you sort of sound like one. So you got anything heroic planned now that you've been brought here? Other than the chili dogs.
