Shadow the Hedgehog

*chuckles* That would be a lot worse. I'm sure I can come up with some way to repay your kindness *gives big evil grin*.

Thanks Locke *drinks coffee* I needed that. We should probably look at that data soon. The sooner we reverse the curse, the better.

I'm not in the mood to argue Locke. I'll be a couple more days Rouge. I promise I'll buy you some jewels when I get back. *walks back through portal* You mentioned coffee?

(ooc I thought you were joking til I looked it up. Turns out there are quite a few horror references in fleetway Knuckles). You try staying awake after a night of werehog hunting!

(OOC You mean The Wicker Man? The original is better. Bye Skye) *wakes up and sees Rouge* Rouge, when did you get here, and what's so funny? *sees tutu* I try to give someone a chance and this how they repay me!

*muttering in a deep sleep, not noticing the prank* Darn it Rouge you've tried on every hat in the store 3 times, pick one already. (ooc I don't mind Skye. I wasn't doing anything useful and we do need some comic relief).

*wakes up in chair and sees knife embedded in floor* That's a Darn fine blade you got there. Any progress? *sees Skye ands runs over* Are you ok?

Must've grabbed it when you fled (OOC Sorry I fell asleep. Which I'll do again. Night guys. Also that metal glove keeps reminding me of something I saw in Stargate. Anyway, night).

You can run away from your past like its a hole in the ground. But it'll just keep getting bigger, always at your heels until eventually you have nowhere to go but straight down into the darkness. Facing it won't be easy Skye, but its better to face it now than try to run from it. It always catches up to you.

Some things are better left forgotten.

Its in the past now. We all make mistakes Skye, but what matters is that we learn from them.

*looks at Skye with a solemn look* Yes I did. You had just drained my power and I lost control of myself. I wholeheartedly apologise for my actions.

I have no objection to helping out Locke. Skye did save me from having to wrestle a werehog after all. Its the least I could do.

If its alright with you Locke I'd like to stay for a while. I'm interested in this data you've collected.

Might make you feel good, but I've still got a wild werhog running around my jurisdiction. At some point in the future I'm just gonna bait it, tranq it and move it back to Dylan's zone. If I went in like I did before I'd probably die along with it.

*gets bottle of water from vending machine* I wonder what that data says that Skye got.

Sure. I'm dying for a drink after being stuck in that mineshaft.

You found anything yet?

Come on Dylan let's go. *shows Dylan to infirmary*

I feel fine, but its best to check for any unseen effects.

Got it *grabs Dylan and starts running* how much further?

Not that I know of. I'm hoping the majority of the effects are associated with the explosion itself, or maybe the smoke. I'd rather not stick around to find out.

*gets sent flying forward as the shockwave catches up with us* We're fine you sick old fool. Shockwave knocked us off our feet but we avoided the blast at least.

*grabs Dylan* sorry I forgot about that

Good idea. *starts running away* You have any idea where your house is from here?
