Shadow the Hedgehog

"It's not something I like to dwell on. As for your name, you can do a lot worse than Skye. Would you prefer to be a Snively?

"But your best friends, your romances, nothing compares to them. Some people just aren't replaceable."

"Both. I don't have the degrading health associated with old age, but.I'll outlive everyone I know and care about. A grim reality indeed."

"I was created as an adult and frozen for 50 years, and I'm immortal. I'll basically live my life as a 25 year old."

"Haha no. Chemical imbalances in the body coupled with being in limbo. Not a kid but not an adult. A difficult time... apparently. I've never experienced it myself."

"You have no idea. Wild mood swings, total disregard for authority, general lunacy. Don't worry though, it only lasts a few years.... usually. It'll be Locke who gets the brunt of it.."

Shadow muttered to himself "If she's like this now, just wait til she's a teenager."

"Thanks Skye." Shadow took a piece and began to eat it "It's good."

"Steak's ready Skye. Hope you two like it." (OOC Sorry for late reply. Been playing The Saboteur).

"Rouge is probably their definition of "city folk". She doesn't know anything about hoeing, crops or livestock. They wouldn't touch her with a barge pole. And if they tried to, they'd meet her angry suitor." Shadow chuckled to himself. "Ok, steak's ready guys."

"Haha. I'd appreciate that. In some remote places they just aren't too fond of strangers. Can't exactly blame them."

"You're right. But whenever Rouge and I are off I usually cook something or we go out. When we're on the job it's take away or the cafeteria if we're at HQ or whatever place we can find if we're in the field. Walking into a village pub and having the whole room go silent is not a pleasant experience. Though they sometimes give good advice. "Keep off the moors and stay on the road." That was an eventful trip. But I digress..."

Shadow took his and Crowley's steaks off of the grill. "Here you go. Don't worry, I'm still doing the rest of yours. So you like cooking Skye, I do a fair amount myself."

"Easy there Glen you'll get yours soon enough." Shadow then put on 2 more steaks.

"Thanks Skye." Shadow picked up a cookie and ate it. "Hey these are really good. You guys want any steak?"

"Thanks Locke." Shadow went to the kitchen and poured himself some water before starting to cook 2 steaks. "How do you like yours Crowley?" *Well done.* "I should've guessed. We are very similar."

Shadow stood there, exhausted, not noticing Crowley walk up behind him. *I'm sure you'll be able to reunite with your friend. Now go get some rest, you look like you need it.* "I'm fine Crowley. I just need a drink and something to eat. That'll keep me going"

Shadow gave Maria one last hug. "I'll come visit you whenever I can Maria." "Ok Shadow. I'll hold you to that" she replied with a smile. "Ok Locke, I'm ready to go."

"Put it this way Melody. You live in Haven, there's practically no chance you'll be attacked. You're also a little girl. You mean well but you aren't totally level headed. Think about the portal prank, do you want something to go wrong with your knife? Carrying a weapon with you for protection is fine, but it's a lot of responsibility. No one in their right mind would question your right to defend yourself and carry the tools to do so. You just need to mature first."

"Were creatures? I don't remember that. Then again it's been a while since I've been down there. You sure you don't have ghosts in your zone? I didn't believe in them until.... well, this happened. I'm just glad I finally have some company."

Maria smiled at Skye "Hello there. I'm Maria. You must be Skye, right?"

"Leading me? The huge salary I get I don't mind her spending it. I have plenty left. There are men far richer than I that she could easily extort, yet she stays with me. She's done plenty of things for me, so I say our relationship is on the level. It's just grown accustomed to us both getting paid well."

"Hahaha. Nice makeover pal. Thanks Skye." Shadow dialed Rouge. "Hey it's me. I'm so glad to hear your voice again.... No, it's nothing to worry about.. How're you?... Do you really need a giant diamond on the coffee table?... With my card? Hiow much left? Ok that's fine. Enjoy it then. I'll be back soon hopefully. Bye... yes I'll buy you a gift like always. Bye." Shadow put down the phone.

"I'd appreciate that Skye. Thanks."
