shatteredprison

Hm. You called. I didn't answer.

Leave a message.

BEEP

From:

Alright. Well, the emerald is on the worktable right over there.

[He gestures to the table tucked in the corner of the room.]

You can take it once you're ready to leave.

From:

shatteredprison

I can stay a little longer.

[It isn't like he's in a hurry to leave.] Thank you. For talking to me about it. And for lunch.

From:

shatterdriven

It's not a big deal. We may really be the last of the Shatterverse. And it didn't feel right for you to carry all of the blame when we all played a part.

So I wanted to try.

From:

shatteredprison

Hm. [Shadow nods and leans back against the sofa.]

What do you plan to do now?

From:

shatterdriven

I'm going to train and put my skills to use. If this is home now, then I'm not losing it to the darkness.

From:

shatteredprison

[Shadow nods. He finds it hard to want to do that here. Even if it is all he has left. He had no love for their world but Maria did. Maria didn't love this world. She didn't know it. So how was he to find that drive again? He'd need to think on it.]

From:

shatterdriven

What are you thinking about?

From:

shatteredprison

I never loved my world or the people in it. Contrary to what some may think. I didn't see some beautiful world that I wanted to save for its own sake. I did it because Maria cherished that world. She wanted it kept safe and saw beauty in it. Beauty she never got to behold or experience herself.

That was why I tried so hard to repair Ghost Hills. Because it's what she would have wanted. This world? She didn't know this world. I made no promise about Ellipsa. I have no motivation to help this place. I exist here and only here now. That is the truth of it. I held no love for my original home. I hold no love for this place either.

From:

shatterdriven

I guess I can identify with that feeling a little. When I found the Grim, I saw a clean slate world that I could make my own...but Sonic also already meant a lot to me. I didn't even know where he was, but once I started working my focus was on the things he'd talked about missing first.

I'm not attached to the idea of blue skies or palm trees, or any of that...but he was, so I wanted to give that to him because it meaning something to him meant something to me. That's gone now, was before it all ended.

I'm not particularly attached to this world, but right now it's the only home I've got left. So my motivation is that I don't want to lose another one.

...maybe for you...was she the kind of person who would you to use your powers to protect another world that needed it? Or would she really only care about her own?

From:

shatteredprison

She would want the people in this world to have a chance at happiness. To have hope. She would never be so narrow minded or selfish to only care about Green Hills. She would want me to protect this world too. I know she would.

[He pauses for a moment.]

I was brought here to protect this world. To help save it. I have no love for it...but there are people here. People who deserve a chance. I can do it for them.

From:

shatterdriven

It sounds like you've got the drive you need then. Though you could probably stand to do things for yourself too.

From:

shatteredprison

For myself? Like what?

From:

shatterdriven

That's not really something I can answer for you. You'll have to find what appeals to you, for you, the same as I am. And I doubt my interests are high on your list.
