Role-Play Mania v2.0

[Shadow the Hedgehog 5]

After half an hour Hope finally finished her prototype. Shadow and Rouge briefly headed off to inform the Commander they'd resolved the situation with Mephiles and returned to the lab soon after.

[Skye Prower 386]

Melody had dozed off in the chair, and was lost in sleep.

[Shadow the Hedgehog 5]

Hope saw Melody asleep and decided to test her machine. She locked in on her brainwaves and calibrated it to the mildest possible setting.

[Skye Prower 386]

(So, we have Melody sleep into a dreamworld. Is Hope, Melody, or Melody's subconscious in control?)

Melody stirred slightly as the machine was turned on.

[Shadow the Hedgehog 5]

(Melody is. The only way Hope could affect it would be to change the dial or run a scenario).

[Skye Prower 386]

(Okay, got it.... hmmmm, do I wanna be cruel....)

Melody slowly came back round, finding herself back in Castle Prower.

"Huh, how did I get here?" she wondered, standing up and looking around.

[Shadow the Hedgehog 5]

(It might make her annoyed with Hope if you did lol)

[Delicious echidna 53]

(Sweet aurora. I get out for a week, and Hope got her devil dream machine back online ? Ok then. Can i have a heads up of the current situation for everyone ?)

[Skye Prower 386]

(Okay, let's see......

It's about mid-afternoon.

Skye, Dylan and Ziona are still kids, with Miles and Harmony doing most of the 'babysitting duties'. They spend most of the day so far at the amusement park. Right now they are heading to the basement magic lab to animate a stuffed dinosaur.

Melody is at GUN with Hope, Shadow, and Rouge, and has JUST got the use of her legs back. She has almost learned to walk again. And is currently being subjected to Hope's dream machine.

Zamy is having a visit from Zouge in her apartment, to talk about the fake memories Miles implanted.

The two new Zone Cops, Zunnie and Zark, are in Haven I believe.

The two Crowley's are still hunting Merlin.

And no one knows where Anna is.

I... think that covers all the active characters bar your own Locke. Let me know if I missed anyone

------------

*glances at signature* Hmm, sorry about this Melody. Blame your subconscious!)

Melody feeling of surprise started to fade as she made her way to the balcony.

"It's... it's nice to be back in my old home," she said.

"Yes, it must be. And it's good to see you back on your feet again," spoke a voice from behind. Melody spun round in surprise.

"Tikal?"

[Shadow the Hedgehog 5]

Shadow and Rouge came over.

"Are you sure that's safe?" asked Rouge.

"Yeah. I have an abort button if I see her in trouble."

[Skye Prower 386]

(So Hope can see what's going on?)

"How... how did you get here?" asked Melody neveriously. "I left to... put some space...."

"You wanted to leave me?" asked Tikal, looking upset.

[Shadow the Hedgehog 5]

Shadow and Rouge came over.

"Are you sure that's safe?" asked Rouge.

"Yeah. I have an abort button if I see her in trouble."

[Skye Prower 386]

(ooc: Err... you just posted the same thing twice Shadow...)

[Delicious echidna 53]

(Wait, tikal is one of my characters... Is this another one ?)

[Shadow the Hedgehog 5]

(OOC Phone's acting up, sorry. And no, she'd look at Melody's body. If she's mutterring or flailing about. Signs of restlessness basicslly).

[Skye Prower 386]

(ooc: This Tikal is a figment of Melody's imagination, not the real one. Dream machine and all that.

Silly phone. Finger crossed it starts to behave Shadow! And okay, I'll describe how Melody looks in the real world.)

"No, I didn't!" said Melody quickly. "But... you... and Skye... it wouldn't have worked," said Melody.

"You don't need to worry about that," said Tikal pointing to the garden below the balcony. Melody looked and saw Skye with another Tikal.

"Huh? What?" Melody looked surprised.

"You don't need to worry about them," said Tikal. "Just us."

--------------

Outside, Melody stirred slightly in her chair, her cheeks going slightly red.

[Danny Felixe 330]

"Are you sure you're okay, Ziona?" Dylan asked

[Skye Prower 386]

"I'm fine, really," said Ziona, trying to smile.

Miles and Skye entered the lab

[Shadow the Hedgehog 5]

"She looks OK for the moment," said Shadow warily.

[Skye Prower 386]

"Tikal... I...." began Melody

"Shh, don't talk. I already know," said Tikal moving closer.

--------------

Melody was clearly blushing in the real world. It wasn't clear if she was having a happy dream or not.

[Shadow the Hedgehog 5]

"Blushing? That's odd. I hope she's ok," said Hope, her finger hovering over the abort button.

[Skye Prower 386]

Out in the real world, Melody hands twitched slightly, and a wide smile appeared on her face as she, somehow though it seemed impossible, blushed deeper.

[Shadow the Hedgehog 5]

Shadow hit the button for Hope.

"You are just testing it after all."

[Skye Prower 386]

"Huh...Bwa, wha... Tik...?" murmured Melody as she started coming round.

[Shadow the Hedgehog 5]

"Now we know the big red button works," said Hope.

"Have a nice dream Melody?" she asked.
