@badnikbreaker ━━ ✰ . ❛ please just let me help you. ❜ FROM AMY FOR SURE

THE BLOOD TASTES SWEET on her palette; Surge's mouth is practically pouring with it, an overflow from the massive damage she received from a broken bone somewhere in her face. The tenrec doesn't even flinch as Amy grabs her shoulder, begging to assist the woman. SHE'S NEVER NEEDED HELP; WHY NOW WOULD SHE FALTER?

❝ 'M fine, pink- jus' gimme some space t' get up off my ass. ❞

Once on her feet, Surge glanced around; what once stood an army of badniks, might and proud, now laid crumpled on the floor. The combination of her electricity and the rain made for a deadly combo, especially since she refused for Amy to fight.

THIS WAS HER JOB, HER PROBLEM. SHE WAS MADE FOR THIS. ( no she wasn't )

Her heart freezes at the sight of Amy's worried face.

Cerulean eyes gaze over Amy as she turned; with a thumb, Surge carefully brushed off the tiniest bit of dirt on the other's cheek- clean and unharmed, unlike the tenrec herself.

❝ Y' ain't got no injuries, RIGHT? I can help y' back if ya need me to. ❞

@diffxrentwxrlds ━━ ✰ . ❝ you look dreadful. ❞ ~Surge to Surge

" DON'T you think I know that, goddamn smartass? " Scuffs and cuts litter her body, but it doesn't deter the tenrec from her journey. Electricity crackled all around Surge's body, making the body of water surrounding her person light up with sparks. She grunts, just before sending out a shockwave to DESTROY the army of badniks around her.

" Just when I thought I'd be done wit' those fuckers, goddamn Eggman sends this shit at me- 'least Drippy is safe 'n sound... "

@staticmonitor ━━ ✰ . ❝ if i wake up to find that every cabinet and door in the house is open, that probably means it’s haunted, right ? ❞ to erlen, from maxine!

Dual eyes stayed focused on his steady hands, slowly pouring some kind of liquid from one beaker to another. He doesn't even glance at her while responding-

❝ Why would ghosts wanna come in your house? Sounds more like you have a WEIRDO living in your attic at that point- ❞

The second beaker suddenly SHATTERED, liquid spilling on the floor and his hand. It began to bubble viscously, eating through the floor in a matter of seconds.

Erlen simply shook his head, watching as the liquid slowly soaked into his skin, as well as the glass. He shook the rest of it off, further destroying the floor.

❝ Ugh, that's the THIRD time this week. Stupid interns still can't fix their formulas before I work- Harvard grads don't automatically equal good workers... ❞

@hydrcloggd ━━ ✰ . ❝hey.. surge..?❞ well aware that the tenrec was asleep, he prodded at her shoulder anyway, respectfully whispering. he knew there were repercussions that followed with ruining her well deserved rest, though he was plagued with troubles on the brain. he was seeking an answer. something to soothe. ❝…d..do you think we’ll ever find a place to call home…?❞ their head held high, for once, only to stare aimlessly into the starry night sky. they hoped that one day they could. the both deserved it. to be happy. to find the ones that loved them…

When sleep finally blessed the tenrec with it's grace... well, SHE SLEPT QUITE LOUDLY. Snores echoed throughout their little makeshift den, the hammock she made for herself just slightly swaying from Kit's disturbance. It took a few minutes and QUITE a bit of pokes to finally awaken her, seafoam eyes opening to land on her companion. Surge begrudgingly sat up to reply once his question processed in her exhausted brain.

❝ Eh? Where'd ya get that idea, drippy? ❞ Her tan hand came up to gently ruffle his hair before pulling away.

❝ C'mere squirt- ❞

With a surprisingly amount of care, Kit was lifted into the hammock as well; there was enough space for quite a few people, actually. She continued to look at them before letting out a small sigh- looking... quite vulnerable for once.

❝ Look, kid... I'll be honest wit' ya- I got NO idea... but y'know what I KNOW? That we don't need anyone or anythin' t' take on th' world. Home... home ain't no place anymore- home is whatcha WANT it t' be. Got it? ❞

❝ Now.. get t' bed. Growin' kits need their uh, sleep, or whatever BULLSHIT they say these days . ❞

@hydrcloggd ━━ ✰ . pig / basset hound for shadow 👀👀

Pig - What is one snack your muse can never have enough of?

I can imagine Shadow consuming a copious amount of coffee beans if he was in a snack-like mood; he likes the texture of them and the taste. But, I can also see him eating those chocolate-coated coffee beans, or 100% cocoa chocolate. In general, he enjoys things which are crunchy.

Basset Hound - What are some things that your muse considers “Classic?” (Music, Fashion, Traditions, ect)

Oh man.. since Project Shadow was implied to be around the 50's/60's (iirc), you can find him indulging in things like vinyl records or the weird recipes from the time. I don't think him or Maria would be informed of the events happening on Earth during that time period, so he would remain in the dark about the culture surrounding the time period. Some of his lingo does consist of slang from the time!

I can also see Shadow comparing the modern world to the stereotypes of the time ( think nuclear families, red scare, etc. ). It's possible the scientists on the ARK tried to teach him about America/whatever the equivalent of America is in the Sonic universe. He was probably surprised, waking up 50 years later to not see what he had been taught of- but it doesn't mean Shadow hates the change.

So TLDR; music, family traditions, and other things fall into that classic category.

.....I got off track for this prompt.

@tellescope ━━ ✰ . ❝Oh! Hello, sir!❞ Maria hadn't intended to come this way but she'd gotten turned around once again on the route to the Commander's office. She only ever visits GUN headquarters to see Abe after all, and he's given her a security badge for such times. But during her visits she sees a lot of people around and doesn't recognize this man. ❝Sorry for intruding. I was hoping to find Abe and I think I got a bit lost. Um, I'm Maria. It's nice to meet you.❞ //Here Erlen, have a lost child xD I'm sorry.

YOU KNOW HER. YOU KNOW HER. The alarms in his head blare loudly, heart beat suddenly making an appearance in the sounds which overwhelmed him. His grip tightens on the clipboard in hand, other grasping onto a box of metalloids in the other. WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING, not leaving the dead to REST in peace? That fucking hedgehog you are one in the same, Erlen is gonna blast a hole in this place when he sees her-

It's nice to meet you!

His red and cyan eyes stare at the curvature of blonde hair, the way her skin is full of life, and how she seemed FINE. Like she had never been SHOT and KILLED all those years ago. G.U.N. doesn't surprise him at this point with their ethics.

Could he heal her, fulfill that hole Shadow never could?

❝ ...My name is Erlen Baker, Head Biochemist of the government organization G.U.N., and by extent, The United Federation- I am also the right hand of Second-In-Command Laurie, who answers to The Overall Commander. ❞

❝ You're a relative of his, correct? I shall call the guards to retrieve you- in the mean time, you may stay, but watch your step. ❞

@supcrsxnic-cxmct ━━ ✰ . ☄️⯮ ❝ sorry, i didn’t realize you could hear me. ❞ - Comet @ Erlen!

Oh god, CHILDREN. The only kids he would see are the ones his coworkers brought to work... or the ones being experimented on by G.U.N.. Erlen stared down at the... hedgehog, blinking.

" ...It's uh, okay... kid. " Whatever he was experimenting on was set aside, FAR OUT OF REACH from the little gremlin.

" Gotta ask though... why are you in here, and where are your parents?? "

Leans their massive head down to sniff Shadow-

@diffxrentwxrlds ━━ ✰ . ❝ that sounds like a ‘ you ’ problem. ❞ ~Blaze to Rouge

❝ HMPH. ❞ Pink lips form a pout, brows furrowing all while crossing her arms. Her leg was sticking out, conveying one of her usual poses as Rouge looked at the feline.

❝ MY problem? Well, it isn't MY fault you decided to come in while I was trying to sneak a peak at the Sol Emeralds- which, if you asked me, would look MUCH better on display instead of being cluttered in this silly box. ❞

@staticmonitor * ━━ ✰ . ❝ i don’t know how much ice cream it will take to drown my sorrows, but it will probably be a lot. ❞ to amy, from nikki!

❝ Oh, Nikki... ❞

A small sigh slipped from her lips, emeralds gazing over the woman she had been friends with for so long. Amy gently brushed Nikki's bangs out of her face to get a closer look at the hedgehog in mourning. Even after all of these years, she was still AMAZED at the Hero of Mobius; despite moments like these, which might seem silly to those outside of their friend group, Amy took the problems of her friend with seriousness no matter what.

❝ I'm sure we can find another chili dog stand around here! And even if we can't, I'll make some for you at home! ❞

@pvachypessa ━━ ✰ . ❛ are you scared? 'cause i'm scared. ❜ For Amy! :0

Years of undergoing training as a leader have left her mind sharpened from what it once was; emerald eyes shift around the area of the Mushroom Kingdom they were in, and with a quick snap of her wrist, Amy's hammer was now held in both hands. She quickly stood in front of Peach, tightening her hold on the weapon. YOU CAN'T FAIL THIS TIME; YOU MUST PROTECT.

❝ Don't worry Princess- as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you! ❞

@hydrcloggd ━━ ✰ . pig / basset hound but also for surge 😭😭👀

Pig - What is one snack your muse can never have enough of?

I feel like Surge would enjoy greasy food, like carnival or festival type stuff. Unhealthy as hell, but delicious! And it really doesn't matter what she eats due to her fast metabolism- so her favorite snack is something freshly fried and crisp.

Basset Hound - What are some things that your muse considers “Classic?” (Music, Fashion, Traditions, ect)

.....Surge doesn't exactly have anything to look back on. Her memories are just static in her brain due to how many times Starline fucked with them. I guess she somewhat misses the dynamic the three had before Starline went bonkers with trying to appease Eggman.

@hydrcloggd ━━ ✰ . pig / basset hound for maria 👀👀

Pig - What is one snack your muse can never have enough of?

So, I think Maria was set on a strict diet during her time on the ARK- she had this strange illness that no one had ever heard of before, so it's not surprising they experimented with what she could and couldn't eat. NIDS ( Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome ) seems like a disease which affects both the nervous and immune system, similar to something like HIV/AIDS except hereditary ( it doesn't seem like it could be spread except from parent to child ). I can imagine she ate a lot of immune boosting foods, including plant foods which can supply nutrients needed for this. Therefore, Maria enjoyed sweet potato fries as an occasional snack!!

Basset Hound - What are some things that your muse considers “Classic?” (Music, Fashion, Traditions, ect)

Maria considers things like art and literature as classics- especially in her modern verse. One of the books she has on her shelves is The Crucible by Arthur Miller, and it amazes her that it came out so many years ago when it felt just like yesterday the scientists had given it to her as a gift!

@heroichedgehammer ━━ ✰ . "Oooh! Cream! Don't move!" For a butterfly had daintily set itself right between Cream's ears—a polaroid moment if Amy ever saw one. The effort to both hurry around in front while not doing so too suddenly or loudly gave her stride a silly, prancing look. She squatted, her face scrunching in concentration as she carefully aimed her camera. "Dooon't… mooove…!"

❝ Huh? ❞

Cream was sitting on the soft grass below, legs sprawled out as she had been working on eating the lunch Amy packed for the two. In the middle of biting one of the tea sandwiches, the girl felt something just barely settle on her head. Small hands lower from her mouth to rest on her lap-

❝ Oh! Miss Amy, there's a butterfly on my head! ❞

@timewontwait ━━ ✰ . ❝ daisy chain making is so much harder than the stories make it seem. ❞ / for maria!

She's sitting to the side on the grass, quietly watching as her companion attempted his best at making a flower crown. Small giggles erupted from her as Sonic presented the mangey looking thing, small and with missing petals.

❝ Oh goodness... well, we can't all be perfect on the first try, hehe! ❞
