Skye Prower

"Hmm, if it's a human thing I guess that explains why Hope threatened it would happen to me and my siblings."

"There's a legal age to work?" asked Anna, trying to wrap her head around the idea.

(ooc: Ok, cool. Cheers.) "But... you're only a few years older than me. So, you shouldn't be working either!"

(ooc: What age is Rouge? I think she's the same age as Anna but I'm not sure off the top of my head.)

"Yeah. But it's good not to need to worry about work at all now. Oh, sorry..."

Melody gave Hope a grin. ----------- "I suppose it makes up for the paperwork. That was one advantage with my old... job, I suppose."

"Thanks. I owe ya!" Melody replied to Hope. Then she looked at Red. "Hum, I think she'd rather explain all this to you herself, but there are two important thing's to tell you. First, she'll look different. She, uh, tried to steal the powers of Shadow here, and ended up copying his colours as well. And the second thing, which she might have mentioned, she's trying to reinvent herself, so goes by the name Anna now." -------------- "That sounds evil!" said Anna ------------- "I guess we're all different!" said Ziona.

"Look, if there's gonna be any trouble about this Hope, just say I grabbed the teleporter and took us back," said Melody. She turned to Red... "Uh.... just how much did that letter say about what happened...?" -------------- "3am? They don't even give you a chance to sleep?" exclaimed Anna shocked. -------------- "If you're sure. I'd love to meet all the different version of me... Except the Prime Zone one..."

"Can't we make an exception? I think it would be good for both Anna and.. Red..." said Melody. "Boy, this is utterly weird," she whispered quietly. -------------------- "Please tell me that your paperwork at least has a tick box for 'Reason: Crazy people'!"

"When and where... uh.... Can that teleporter manage four?" Melody asked Hope. ---------- "It does sound like an exciting job!" --------- "Sorry Glen, Zave doesn't know your No-Zone counterpart either!"

"You have no idea," replied Melody, smiling. Then her face became more serious. "I know it may be had to believe, but it is for the best." ---------------------- "What are you worried about? How bad could it be," asked Ziona rhetorically. Then she grinned. "Hey, Zave. Do you know my boyfriends' No-Zone counterpart?"

"You'd hope your job would involve less sacrifices though. What even brought you there?" asked Anna

"By the sounds of it I'm not sure 'exciting' would be quite the correct word! Boy are there some crazy people here," commented Anna

Melody had stood slightly shocked when Red had pulled her in. But not because of the knife. "Wow... you look..." she muttered before managing to concentrate. "I don't think she CAN come back. But you could come and see her. I'd think she'd like that." --------------- "You didn't destroy it?" asked Anna with a slightly sly smile. -------------- "Hmm, but people from different Zone can be very different from each other."

"Yep, I'd agree," said Melody steeping side. "But... uh... like I said... this is complicated. But I've letter here for you from... Mina." Melody almost stumbled over Anna's old name. ------------- "Would that have anything to do with that 'found footage' you were talking to Hope about?" asked Anna ------------- "I can't promise that, though I don't recall ever meeting you before."

"Who... uh... That might take a little explaining..." stammered Melody who hadn't been expecting a response. At least her hesitation meant it was unlikely she was after Red, otherwise she'd have been more prepared. --------------- "That would be useful. More for my sister, she's more likely to run straight into trouble!" -------------- Ziona nodded in agreement.

Melody nodded and knocked again. "Hello. Anybody home?" she called. -------------- "I wouldn't know. I haven't had the chance to play tourist yet!" ------------- "Hmm... I'll see if I can wrangle up a guest pass for now. No promises, but I'll try."

"Just get ready in case something funny happens," said Melody as she gave a quick rap on the door. -------------- Anna shook her head. "In some way's our worlds don't sound so different after all."

"Either that or we knock... Anna didn't give exact instructions!" ------------------- "That doesn't sound very efficient. You'll get people more interest in playing to the crowd than actually ruling." ----------------- "I guess I will be. But I doubt they'll be 'by the book' for a job like this. I know Zet was, but then, this wouldn't be his normal type of assignment. He just got it because he was already here. What's that Zave...." she turned back to the phone. "The want me to give evidence at the trail? Huh, I guess they'll need to break my new partner in quickly then. I guess they'll arrive when they pick up Zet tomorrow morning." (ooc: So, who wants to play another Zone Cop?)

"If Red is home, we better hand her the letter quickly... If things go bad, I can grab Hope and run..." --------------- "I see.... um... no I don't. But then politics..... uh... where I came from... was mostly about who had the biggest stick."

"No, Thank you!", said Melody. "Where is this Darn house?" ----------------- "I take it there isn't that many geneticists in this world then? Hmm, I dunno if Skye could do something with it, if you don't mind magic involved...." Anna's words trailed off as she wondered if, now that Hope knew magic, if she could use that to work it out despite her techy background. But as Hope hadn't had a chance to show Rouge and Shadow yet, she kept quiet. ---------------- "Yeah, so will I," replied Ziona, picking up the phone again. "Hey Zave, any idea who Zet's replacement on this mission will be?... No? Ah well..."

Melody took Shadow's hand. "Shadow, if you hadn't messed up there, I wouldn't have a sister now. You've more than made up for what happened." ------------- "Really? You are ambitious! I'm amazed that GUN isn't already working on that. For use as some aid in field-medicine if nothing else."

"Omega does seem to be a good trick to have up your sleeve. He got you out of that trouble with Anna and Miles too..." ----------- Anna sat back and though. "Hmm, what about photography? After all, he might want something to keep happy memories fresh if he's gonna outlive us all."

"It did?" asked Melody, surprised. ------------- "Yeah. He didn't strike me as the type to take up stamp collecting," said Anna. "I sure we could find something he'd enjoy and take up as a hobby though." ------------ "If you mean, leave his job looking after the kids in the Prime Zone, then yes."

"'Something right'?" asked Melody. "I never thought you'd be the kinda person to question your capabilities!" ------------------ "Well, mock up's of the seven Chaos Emeralds from your next few games?" suggested Anna. ----------------- "Hold on a second Zave," said Ziona and she turned to Glen. "First.... putting a Zone Cop in Jail.... Really? You were the one going on about what kind of place it was. Think what would happen to Zet in there. Second, they can't be too lenient. Even though what he did was right, the higher ups don't want to encourage that behavior. Think what might have happened had it gone wrong. Though, Zave was saying that even kicked off, the bosses are trying to ensure he'll get a full pension and then some. They aren't completely hanging him out to dry."
