Shadow the Hedgehog

"I'm not so sure. He could be anywhere, most likely in disguise. So long as he's here countless people are in danger," replied Shadow, still quiet.

"Yeah actually. When there's a psychopath from another dimension running around it's hard not to be wary," replied Shadow, his voice low so only Red could hear him. "Well I've got to hand it to this villain. He's really good at personally killing his subordinates. Not so much at killing the hero," said Hope.

Hope was engrossed in the film, while Rouge and Crowley watched with some intrigue. Shadow on the other hand was thinking, far too much on his mind.

Shadow soon returned carrying a pitcher, pouring out 2 glasses for himself and Rouge. "We're ready," said Rouge, while Shadow glanced down to a small device im his hand before returning his attention to the TV.

Shadow came out of the kitchen and handed Skye his drink before giving the other to 'Lucas' on his way back in.

"Anyone else want a drink?", called Shadow.

Shadow got up and went into the kitchen to refill the now empty pitcher. Hope positioned herself so she had a good view of the TV as Crowley looked at the screen, waiting for the film to be played.

Hope handed Shadow a large bag of popcorn. "For you and Rouge," she said. "Thanks Hope," replied Rouge.

"You see, it's in all the presentation," said Shadow.

Shadow raised his voice so everyone could hear. "Alright it's real simple. This room is being used to watch some films. If you do not plan on watching them, please leave now. There are plenty of others rooms which can facilitate discussion."

"Perhaps you need to be more assertive Melody. Tap into your inner royalty," suggested Shadow.

"I say take over the main room. It has the biggest TV and the most seating."

"That's fine by me. Looks like your brother's back," said Hope.

"So, what film do you want to watch first?" asked Hope.

"There's nothing wrong with wanting the spotlight either," replied Hope.

"Heh thanks. I try to not draw too much attention to myself," replied Hope.

"I just don't want to do it in a crowded room, that's all. Don't worry, Istill want you with me when I do show them," replied Hope. Crowley inwardly laughed at Lara's comment about respect as he took the drink Shadow offered him.

"I think I'll do it later when it's just me and them," replied Hope.

Crowley swiftly walked in and sat on a chair, he had no desire to stir up more of a fuss.

"Glad to know you had a good time. No... trouble I hope?" asked Shadow. Hope thought for a moment and realised what he meant. "Er no. I would've contacted you otherwise."

"I don't think so," replied Crowley as he teleported the both off them into the hotel room.

"Found footage? Do I even want to know?" asked Hope "Well to put it simply a bunch of crazy villagers took me hostage so they could sacrifice me to their harvest god or something. But as you can see I got the upper hand and escaped. And they caught it all on camera." ---- Crowley took hold of Red and teleported back to the hotel. "Well that was simple enough."

"Well we found a movie store and bought some films. One of them looks like it has you in it!" said Hope. Rouge laughed. "I'm not an actress and I've never been one, so it's not me... wait, it's not a found footage style is it?" Hope shook her head. "That's a relief," said Rouge. --- "Very well then. Care to walk or would you prefer I just teleport us there?"

"Fair point. Did you have a nice time? What have you got there?" asked Rouge, pointing at the bags they were carrying.

"Great work Melody!" said Hope. Rouge glanced up at the pair. "I thought the idea is to sneak out of a balcony, not up it?" she joked. --- "Glad to hear, as I haven't got a clue what to do next."
