[Greetings, Asgard! Today we have yet another video feed of Sonic. Those who haven't seen him around may be shocked to find a talking, blue creature using the network. He's certainly gotten quite a few stares since he arrived, and that's probably part of the reason why he looks a little bit miffed.

But no matter!]

Yo, Asgard. Got some mondo important stuff to take care of, so listen up!

First of all, I've noticed that some of you guys have never heard of chili dogs before. You guys are totally missing out! So, just to make things clear...

[He turns the camera towards an old photo, pointing at the little dog.]

This is a dog! And this... [He points the camera at a chili dog on a plate, which he's got on a nearby table. After a few seconds, it's back to him.]

Is a chili dog! No, they aren't made outta dog meat, and no, they're not gross. Heck, they're like the complete opposite of gross! Want proof? Drop by Thor house ASAP, 'cause I'm cookin' up a whole ton. No charge; it's all on me. Could even turn it into a party or somethin'.

[He shrugs. Sonic still wants to throw some kinda party, just to have something to do. Go figure.]

And before I go, I just wanna clear up one last thing. [He points at himself.] I'm not a "thing," a "CG character," a mascot, or anything like that. I'm the coolest hedgehog around-- probably the only one here, and talking's second nature to me, just like running. So if you see me cruisin' around the ol' streets, no, you ain't seeing things.

[It's weirder than she thought in person. She waves back uncertainly.]

...Haha, yep!

[And she comes over, checking out what he has been cooking.]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

[Well, he'll mosey on over to the... ridiculous plate covered in delicious chili dogs. It's pretty clear that he's been busy!]

Pick a 'dog, any 'dog. There's plenty to go around.

[takebow]

...Clearly.

[She has qualms again when staring at these things in person. But it probably would be good...

After brief inner debate, she takes one.]

So, these are your favorite food? Guess there's not much point in asking why... Cuz, I mean, who really has a reason?

[But still, there's just something odd about it... with the whole... hedgehog thing.]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I've got a reason alright.

[Scooping one up and taking a bite, starting now.]

The taste is outta this world! Throw on some chili, cheese, and onions, and you've got yourself. [Chew, chew, swallow.]

A masterpiece!

[takebow]

[Sooo, not exactly a reason.]

Uh-huh.

[She takes a rather delicate bite and chews thoughtfully. It's, well, about what she expected.]

Meanwhile, Sonic's mowing it down at record speed! He's like a vacuum when it comes to chili dogs.]

[takebow]

[...She kinda can't stop watching, and yet... what's happening before her eyes is, indubitably, gross.

She takes another absent bite as her mind half-boggles. Just half, though. It's not totally insane, just ... what's happening before her eyes is ... very, very quirky.]

Wow.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Speechless?

[He laughs. Sally would probably call him out for eating so quickly.]

[takebow]

...Took the words right out of my mouth.

[Which would maybe explain the speechlessness?

...Still staring as she almost numbly takes another bite of her own single one.]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

[And, like a dork, Sonic takes a bow.]

Thank you, thank you.

[takebow]

[She laughs awkwardly.]

Yeah... That was a display.

[She's going to eat more of this chili dog so as not to have to describe it more candidly.]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Pfft. Sal would say the same thing.

[Or rather, she'd say that it's messy, and that he oughta chew each bite before swallowing.]

[takebow]

...Who's Sal?

[...Is there another ... whatever he is here?]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

[Aaand watch him smirk. Why? Because, as far as Sonic's concerned.]

She's my girl.

[That's what he'd like to think, anyway, and it might as well be the truth.]

[takebow]

[...These things reproduce?

... Sorry.]

Oh, she's here, too?
