Skye Prower

Hey! That's cheating! :P Dylan, find somewhere to hide!

Umm, run in opposite directions? That way Spark can't chase and catch both of us!

No! Gonna keep on running. Locke! Where are you? Need your help here!

Heh heh Can't catch me.... Dylan, I've wedged the ball open. You can get out now!

"As for the head sucking thing, I dunno, maybe my magic, Sparks desperation and the fact I've dived into peoples head before all kinda reacted together?" suggested Skye.

I'll look one out for you! There we go, I'm starting to get this ball open. As long as Spark doesn't try to stop us...

Ha Ha! Dylan's post means you missed me Spark. Sorry. I've a crowbar here Dylan, let's gt you out. Maybe it's just because of you're snazzy council uniform?

Yikes, if this keeps going one this is gonna devolve into a very weird RPM... Let's get you out of that ball Dylan and stop that happening!

"Asleep on the job, how am I ever gonna live this down?" laughed Skye. "And I'm pretty sure it's not a secret Dylan." ------------ "Really?... That seems a little odd," said Melody. ----------- Ziona nodded.

Hi there! What about you Spark?

"Just don't suck me into your head again," laughed Skye as he helped Spark up. "Yours did seem more pleasant than mine did though!" Skye caught sight of Dylan as he arrived. "Oh, uh, yeah... Sorry about the delay Dylan..."

"I.. think so..." said Skye opening his eyes. "You okay?" ---------- "You know Dylan, I think Skye might have forgotten about your lunch order. Must be distracted by Tikal. You might wanna track him down and give him a slap!" said Melody.

"Ready when you are," said Skye. ------------- "Shame he's not around to explain. Can't you?" asked Melody. ------------- "Once Zouge is finished in the cell we can discuss it, try and work out what would work best. If we were just to make a weakening device I'd almost suggested asking Skye to help, but if he knew what it was for he either wouldn't go for it, or make it have so detrimental effect."

"If it was a choice between my legs or have a less hectic life with my family, I know which one I'd choose," said Melody. "But that's beside the point, I dunno how you'd even contact a deity!" ------------ "I know. But there's trust and there's letting a powerful wizard walk around... Maybe if it only weakened his magic..."

"Oh c'mon Dad, it has to be. Stop trying to make me a pessimist!" joked Melody. ------------- "Hmm, this isn't too visible if he tucks the trinket bit under his shirt. We may be able to get the tech boys to modify a suppressor to go round the wrist perhaps." Ziona pondered.

"It's normally more quiet than it's been this week I guess!" laughed Melody. ------------------- "Good. I guess he'll at least have a suppression collar on if we don't put the necklace back on him, so she shouldn't have to worry about his magic."

"Heh, yeah. Out of interest Dad, if Knuckles shows up again, will he also be helping to train me?" ------------- "Hmm, I think you might have wanted to warn her a bit more than that. He might be trying now, but once he gets his head back together...." said Ziona.

I'm sure next time you just just edit them ti say 'sorry, double post' and not put in the next number. But don't worry about it. And while we're on the subject, 5

"As long as they'll take me seriously..." said Melody. -------- "She sound like.... quite a woman..." said Ziona amused. "It certainly sounds as if she can keep people in line. What did you tell her about Miles."

"That does make sense I guess. I suppose the only question left is would everyone be happy with a non-echidna Guardian?" ---------- "What did your friend say when you called her?" asked Ziona

"Yeah, we can work out a rota or something!" laughed Melody. ------------- Ziona smiled at Glen

"I see.." said Melody thoughtfully. "Then I'll really do my very best then," she declared. ------------ "I guess Anna will thank you then Glen," Ziona replied.

"Like I said to Zamy, there would be those who would have just locked him up anyway, job or no. So thanks are needed," replied Anna.

"I.. suppose so, yeah...," said Melody. "My old training was knida... narrow focused." ----------- "You'll need to talk with the officials about that. And that does depend of Zouge does think he's fit for the project," said Ziona. ----------- "Thank you," replied Anna with obvious sincerity, and Miles gave a nod."

"Uh... books?" asked Melody sounding slightly worried. ---------- "It appears so far it might be going well. Certainly better than I expected," replied Ziona, trying to suppress a grin at the 'Ma'am'. --------- "That's great. See, we can still keep in touch Miles," said Anna happily.
