Hey, so, I got a couple of those potions that let you use other seasons' powers for sex stuff for a little while?

One of autumn's powers is 'hypnotic suggestion'.

Re: un: abnormalitylover, text

[shatteredprison]

[Shadow stares at the text for a moment before he answers.]

I see. You've found the means for what you're looking for. Do you want to experiment with that with me?

[shatterdriven]

Shadow?

Are you around? Are you still here?

Re: UN: 9xasSmart - Text

[shatteredprison]

Yes.

text; un:9xassmart

[shatterdriven]

I know we were supposed to resume training as usual, but I don't think it would be wise right now.

We need to talk again, and you also need to pick up your emerald anyway. So come over when you can.

Re: text;

[shatteredprison]

Very well. I know you took quite a bit of damage from the fight.

I'll be there soon. Do you need anything?

Text; un: shoto

[itsmypower]

Do you have a minute, Shadow?

Re: Text; un: shoto

[shatteredprison]

I do. What do you need, Shoto?

gift

[roundandaround]

[Happy Yuletide! Shadow gets a seashell and a nice hat that goes with the formalwear he was trying out before.]

Re: gift

[shatteredprison]

[Shadow will wear the hat. And keep the seashell though he has no idea what to do with it. He gets Rinku a sample platter of candies for her and her roommate. Also new headphones for listening to music he found in the underground mall. They can swap between noise cancelling mode and noise projecting mode so they become more like speakers in that mode.]

un: abnormalitylover, voice

[abnormalizes]

Hey, Shadow, when you have a moment, can we talk? It's about the new arrivals from your world - Robotnik and Neo Metal Sonic specifically.

Re: un: abnormalitylover, voice

[shatteredprison]

Very well.

The Doctor I already spoke with. Neo Metal Sonic I have not.

What did you want to talk about concerning them?

Delivery

[urtitan]

[For Yuletide, the fairy delivery services bring Shadow a couple of small bags containing quality coffee beans. Frieda's card wishes him happy holidays and all the best for the new year.]

Re: Delivery

[shatteredprison]

[Shadow is grateful for the gift. Frieda in return receives a card wishing her happy holidays and a wonderful new year. He also gifts her a desk calendar with Positive Affirmations, meant to help someone with stress and anxiety.]

delivery

[abnormalizes]

[So Shadow is a difficult man to buy presents for. He doesn't often wear shirts, which are Evangeline's usual gift, and his interests are things like 'brooding' - not exactly simple to shop for.

But she does have a Memory Camera.

Enclosed in this envelope is a single photo: it should be immediately obvious to Shadow that it's not a real picture, because Evangeline hasn't been around him and Maria together yet, much less taken a picture of them together. But here they are in Evangeline's houses soft room anyway. Maria is hugging Evangeline's extremely fluffy Mothman plushie with delight, while Shadow is watching her with that soft and fond expression that few people have had the privilege to see.

There's also a note.]

I'm happy for you. I promise I'll do everything I can to look out for her.
-Evangeline

Re: delivery

[shatteredprison]

[Shadow makes sure to frame the picture and hang it in his bedroom. So he can see it everyday. In return, Shadow finds someone who can make custom plushies. He knows she enjoys them. Which is why he had one custom made to look like a picture of a being called Nyarlathotep he found in the library. With it is a card.]

I am grateful to you for so much. Your kindness. Your education. Your friendship.

I am here for you. I will always protect Rinku.

Thank you.

[sonic_wachowski]

Hey so I got something I need to talk to you about.
Not super pressing, or nothing just real important.

Re: un: UltimateLifeform

[shatteredprison]

Alright. What is it?

[He'll send Sonic a location marker for the Weapons Training HQ since that's where he is. In case Sonic wants to talk in person.]

[sonic_wachowski]

Ok so I was going to take you up on the move in but then something came up.
someone came up
my shadows here and i dont think hes ever actually lived alone and im not sure if living alone would be good for him anyway
for reasons
lotsa reasons
but you also live with maria even if its not the maria from our world because she was from space and knew about the lizard things
and he was in a mountain and no lizard as far as i know
jurys out on the sick thing
environmental story telling can only tell me so much
anyway i might be able to convince shadow to live in a place with maria even if its alternate maria
but thats two mouths over one and hes fresh from you know
all the trauma
and like i can deal with that
probably
kind of signed up for that the moment my dumb brain decided to hit me with a metric ton of grief for a guy i was on good terms with for five minutes
plus i get a decent amount of it
but i mean i wouldnt say no to having back up
get him more people to bond with
friendship is magic and scientifically proven to be good for ones mental health especially when dealing with grief
that whole thing
but thats like your call
and everything
but i get if its too much and i can just stick with shadow and were all good

Re: text

[shatteredprison]

You text like you talk.

[Why are you like this, Sonic? Why?]

You both can stay with us.

Text

[sonic_wachowski]

Hey, so like how good are you at controlling chaos energy because like you know
I've never met someone actually trained in it
Knuckles mostly figured it out on the fly over the years
Which isn't really the best for figuring all it can do and how to control it and
All that
You know?

Re: Text

[shatteredprison]

Hello.

I am an expert.

Do you want me to train you?

Text; un: shoto

[itsmypower]

[A moment, Shadow?]

Are you busy now, by any chance?

Re: Text; un: shoto

[shatteredprison]

I am available.

post-network, post-emotionshare

[abnormalizes]

[Okay, Evangeline. Deep breathing. She can do this. She can try to say it once and if saying it hurts more than it helps, she doesn't have to try again until she's more comfortable.]

Hey, Shadow? If you're not busy, could you come over?

-This isn't a booty call. But also, nothing is wrong and no one is hurt, it's not an emergency or anything! I just, want to discuss something important privately - oh, that's a bad lead, that makes it sound like I'm mad at you, I'm not mad at you! It's just-

Fuck. Shit. I'm making this worse the longer I talk.

Re: post-network, post-emotionshare

[shatteredprison]

[Shadow listens to the voice message and thinks for a moment before he answers. Evangeline seems to be quite nervous. He calls back.]

I am on my way.

[He arrives about 15 minutes later. Not as fast as he would be in an emergency but also not too long to build that anxiety. He knocks on the door and will let himself in.]

Evangeline. I'm here.

action;

[lightremains]

[Shadow has been watching his older self, learning his routine and schedule. It's probably a little creepy, but it's all for a good reason -- so he knows exactly what time to knock on Shadow's door in their shared home. A time when he's not terribly busy, when he doesn't have any visitors, and isn't getting ready for work or bed.

Knock knock!]

Re: action; (this is the best Shadow tag I have ever gotten, I love this, no notes)

[shatteredprison]

[Shadow opens his door. He blinks just once as he sees who it is.]

Yes?

[sonic_wachowski]

Hey so there's a third version of you
He's taller though
Also like
So much more angry
Like woof
Also projects a lot

[shatteredprison]

Do I need to assert dominance?

un: abnormalitylover, voice

[abnormalizes]

There's a third Shadow in Ellipsa and he sucks.

Re: un: abnormalitylover, voice

[shatteredprison]

You are the second person to tell me about him.

Seems I will need to assert dominance over this faker. Did he hurt you?

un: eggman [text], after the power has gone out and rioting has begun

[thatblastedhedgehog]

What's the situation where you are?

[shatteredprison]

The power is out and the heavenly bodies are gone.

I am defending the house. Maria and Mecha are in no condition to fight. The others are out helping the rest of the city.

[sonic_wachowski]

Hey.
When is your and Big Blue's birthday?
Like
Who knows how dates work between the multiverse
But give me dates anyway
I assume you actually know yours if you remember being made in a lab
Seems like that would be well documented somewhere

[shatteredprison]

What are you planning?

Sonic was born on June 23rd.
I was released from my pod on June 19th. I was not born.

un: eggman | text, backdated to roughly a week ago... oh shit I don't have a proper icon for this--

[thatblastedhedgehog]

I haven't seen or heard from Sage in over a day now. This is extremely unlike her. I can't seem to contact her, either. She can take care of herself, but I can't help but wonder if something happened to her.

Re: un: eggman | text, backdated to roughly a week ago...

[shatteredprison]

It is possible. The gangs in Ellipsa, some are known for abduction and experimentation.

I will look for her. What season is she?

[sonic_wachowski]

My Knuckles is here.
Probably going to use one of those house expansions, probably attached to Silver and my room?
Because Knuckles is definitely not going to live away from me.
Especially with proximity to the you know what.
And me.
Me would be enough.
You know, the big protector vibes.
I'll try to keep him from turning the living room into a gladiator pit, he knows he's not supposed to do that at least.

[shatteredprison]

Very well. I have several expansions saved up myself.

Gives me an idea. Perhaps we can attach a dojo. Give us all a space to spar. To quell his urge to create a gladiator pit.
