Shadow the Hedgehog

"That's pretty creepy. I hope for your sake you find someone else hehe."

"I'm sure you'll find someone. There are plenty of fish in the sea, as they say. A guy like you shouldn't have too much trouble."

"Hehe I guess you could say so. It's not exactly a secret. We've been like this for a while. We even live together after all."

"Watch your mouth and I can assure you it won't happen again."

"No. They tend to remain silent in most matters."

Rouge jumped up. "Oh. It's just you. Yes. The night is nice. I'm just waiting for Shadow to finish talking to Melody and Skye. What are you doing on the balcony?"

"Hehe excellent. I think you're right about Skye. Only one way to find out."

Well it sounds to me he was just going to do it for the sake of doing it. He probably just thought "hey let's make Rotor gay". Doing stuff on a whim is not exactly the best way to treat your characters. Also he'd never get away with it. The comic is aimed at children and the US is its primary market, and they really aren't fond of anything even acknowledging homosexuality in stuff aimed at kids.

Shadow looked somewhat horrified. "You're right, unfortunately. Doesn't necessarily mean you have to call me uncle though. I'm sure there's something in it for you if you don't. Sweets, perhaps."

Shadow began to laugh. "I don't think I'll ever get used to that name."

"I see what you mean. That must be why you're more accepting of it than Skye. It is possible my experience of you made me less wary of Mina. She was surprisingly pleasant, but I guess that's how she gets you. And I suppose you're right. It seems like an age since I was in his head, yet it hasn't been a month. Things really did develop rapidly after that. I guess I shouldn't sell myself short."

"Hehe. I think so. I was honestly expecting the cold shoulder. After all, I did alter your past while using your mother to assassinate a madman. Most people would be pretty upset. I know I'd be. I've had people tell me all sorts of lies about my past, so I can relate. Once someone even tried to convince me the real Shadow was dead and I'm a robot.... anyway, I'm truly sorry for what I did. If I'ď have just been faster none of this would've happened. Gambling with my own life is one thing. I do it every day. But gambling with yours was a step too far."

Shadow saw Melody walk out of the room as he waited outside and nervously spoke to her. "Hello Melody. I might as well explain myself to you first seeing as you're here."

He has every right to say he's taking control. This is last to post wins after all. P.S I win

He could've said a lot worse Cheery.

I'm waiting for Locke and Skye's scene to be over before I send in Shadow. In UA I'm waiting for Geoffrey.

I'm in no mood to stop you. Go Stalker. Win for the sake of all us sane people

Rouge was sitting on the beach, looking out to sea, when she saw a flash of light out of the corner of her eye and heard someone approach. "It's a lovely view isn't it?". Rouge turned her head and saw Shadow. Immediately she got up and threw herself at him. "It took you long enough! Let me guess, Hope?" "Yeah. She's good at pep talks it seems. Anyway, let's go. I need to fix this ASAP." Shadow put his arm around Rouge and they walked back to the hotel.

Victory is mine!

(OOC Er Locke, Shadow's not old, he couldn't get old even if he wanted to. For most of the 50 years he's been alive he was cryogenically frozen, and he's also immortal: he doesn't age).

(OOC Nope not raining here either). "You're right Hope. I'll do that. Thank you. I just need some time to collect my thoughts."

(OOC Yeah I think that works well for Mina).

"I distinctly remember your former colours, though that most likely has something to do with my anarchy abilities."

Shadow arrived in the lab and turned to Hope. "Can I talk to you for a second?" "Sure Shadow, I'm free." "Thanks. I just feel like a ... a screw up. I went to take out Nega and tried to be so careful about messing with Mina's history. But I screwed it up. Thanks to me Mina got my powers and colours, and Skye and Melody's history was rewritten. How could they ever trust me again if I did that? How could they ever forgive me?". Shadow sobbed into Hope's shoulder. "Shadow. You said it yourself you tried to minimise the risks. You potentially saved thousands of lives by taking out Nega. You didn't try to mess up their past, it only happened because of Miles. If he hadn't have intervened they would have never changed. Look, try to talk to Skye. Explain it from your perspective. Ask for his forgiveness. It might take some time, but I'm sure he will."
