Posted 10 Jul 2013 "Hello there.... Yes. I've seen a lot of death. Some by my own hand, and some I was powerless to stop. But I don't dwell on such things. Thank you for the offer Locke. I'll take a look in a bit and see if I can get something as a primary. This'll do me as a backup though." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 "I'm... not used to... being around people I... don't know Loc-er-Dad," replied Melody. "But... what's wrong... with the word death... It's what I've been trained for." Skye walked over to his sister and whispered "Prime Zone, not Moebius" in her ear. "You mean they don't do that kinda thing here?" Melody asked her brother. "Wait, does that mean I now longer need to spend three nights a week training? I can actually sleep properly?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 Yeah, sleep as much as you want. No one will be here to attack you and there is no need to do training practice. Just relax here for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 "Like I said, i do not hold grudge over how you call me. if you want to call me Locke, you can. it's not a problem. But what did you mean, by training? You want me to abandon you in the wilderness alone? I did that with knuckles . Up until recently I had to live in hiding in order to avoid his wrath." Locke laughed. "Also; whatever you might have done, it's now over. Well, there might have some fight here and there, But all in all, your days of training are over. No more killing unless I say so my dear."

Posted 10 Jul 2013 "You are our Dad know," Skye said to Locke, then address Melody, "so you should try to call him that." "No its..." began Melody, before turning to Locke. "I want us to be a family. I want to call you Dad. I'm... just trying to get... used to the idea. And I wasn't dumped into the woods for training... nothing like that. Mother, before being Queen was one of the foremost hired killers on Meobuis. She wanted me to follow... in her footsteps. I've never actually killed anyone... myself."

Posted 10 Jul 2013 "Take it from me. You should be glad you're free from her poisonous influence. Not all the drinks in the world can silence the screams of all the people I've killed. It's a grim profession and not one any child should aspire to or train for." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 "Then, it's a good thing" said locke before hugging her "And this is my proof that you .. you are my daughter now. There won't be any killing. There won't be any deadly training. Just you, me, your brother, and all the people that want to be around us, what do you say, Melody?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 "Thanks Dad," said Melody warmly returning the hug. "Its gonna be nice to just be able to have some fun for a change." "Hey Dad," called Skye as he leaned casually against the master emerald, "last time we were here you yelled at me for doing this!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 Well, Knuckles is supposed to be guarding it. It's his fault if something wrong happens. Besides, that's the fake master emerald Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 "AND I'M DOING IT AGAIN!!YOU STILL CAN'T TOUCH IT!!unless you ask. Do you want me to throw your Sister at you? I'm pretty she would be more than happy to pounce on you. with her KNIVES.No offense melody." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 Locke, chill. Remember, you have the master emerald in your invisible pockets. To prove a point to Knucklehead. Speaking of Knuckles, there he is, still asleep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 "Maybe we should wake him up. Anyone got a stick?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 Wait a sec, what's this book on the ground. *Picks up book* "The Swimsuit Special." I guess that explains why Knuckles likes to sit here all day. Did you know about this Locke?

Posted 10 Jul 2013 "Hum. Brotherhood secrets. And for the last time Dylan, I said I MOVE THE MASTA AMAROWWLD. DO YOU HEAR ME NOW? THIS IS THE 10th TIME I'M SAYING THIS. man... you deaf or what?"

Posted 10 Jul 2013 I don't want to be around here, if all your going to do is shout at us and act as grumpy as Shadow sometimes is. *Picks up a stick* Shadow, do you want to start poking Knuckles or should I give it to Skye and Melody? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 Skye sulked slightly as he walked away from the Master Emerald. Then looked confused. "Why would Knuckles have a book about girls?" (ooc: Ah, childhood innocence.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 "Let the kids poke him. I'm going to reminisce about those few hours of enjoyment I had earlier before I was so rudely interrupted." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 Don't look so sad Skye, Locke is just being grumpy. Do you want to poke your new brother with a stick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 "Well, skye the answer is simple...He like them a lot. But then again, Julie-su doesn't like when he read those. So rather than correctly doing his job. He slack off on duty, And I have to clean up behind him." "And no Melody,I'm afraid you can't read it...Yet." "Beside Dylan, I think it's my right to be grumpy from time to time, mister I keep a lot of secrets in my basement." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 Don't even start arguing Locke. I didn't tell you because 1: I didn't think you needed to know 2: I thought that if my zone was cured, then my curse wouldn't matter 3: Because I come from a zone where everyone is a werehog and you don't know who is spying for the DEL and you can't trust anyone. It is a little hard for me to trust people If you don't like it, I can leave and never bother you with my secrets I hide in my basement there. I still keep secrets there, but I have no need to tell them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 Skye took the stick from Dylan with a wicked grin. "I could just poke him, or I could do some enchanting things like it did to Shadow earlier? Hey, Melody. If we aren't going to use magic, what about a bucket of water?" Melody gave a grin almost identical to her brother and shot off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 *Watches Melody run off* Kids these days. When I was younger, I was a substitute freedom fighter. I knocked Sonic out in battle and I also saved his life when he lost his speed. *Sigh* Good times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 "Dear god Dylan, don't get mad at me again, but I think, that if you told us a bit of the truth in the first time, we would have been able to help you way faster...But, what is done is done. Let's get used to this." "And you know you can trust me." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 I trust myself to get myself out of messes. I find it hard to trust outside of that. I probably can trust you, but I can't willingly do it to the level I should. If I told you the truth, I was worried of being made an outcast. I was made an outcast in my zone because of my suggestion at the council Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jul 2013 "Dylan, you will never be an outcast with us. You know why? because we all know what it's like to be driven out, to be hurt.And sometimes.. To Die, and let die... No matter what happen in your zone Dylan, Haven will always be there for you. Why do you think I Gave you the coordinate of this place in the first time?"
