starter featuring sonic & shadow ( @allnostalgic )

i am speed, sonic thought to himself — a line snatched from lightning mcqueen. because really, who was the better example to represent speed? to be the embodiment of it? not a race car, that's for sure. ( but kudos to him for trying to be fast as sonic. ) the blue hedgehog keeps thinking the same line again and again, running through the forest. the same forest surrounding green hills, montana. the one where his old hideout happened to be in. still in tact, believe it or not.

speaking of his hideout, there's a temptation in him to visit it for old time's sake. there's some stuff that was probably still in there. so sonic moved, making a beeline through a different direction. then he stops when he gets into the clearing. something isn't right. “ huh? ” he looked down, seeing a footprint. he eyed at his own shoes, then back at the footprint. no, that didn't come from him at all. sonic looked at the direction where his hideout is and slowly made his way there.

“ hello? anyone in there? there shouldn't be anyone in there. my hideout ain't some airbnb, you know. ” he called out, looking down in one of the holes of his old hideout. “ this is my property even if i haven't stepped in it. so come out, or i'll... i'll think of something! ” perfect threat there, sonic. maybe it was just another animal? yeah, that's right. it could be someone like knuckles! “ knucks? tails? no? ” wait no, it can't be knuckles or tails. right?

@allnostalgic ♥'d for Knuckles!

There was something different about the other hedgehog now. Something about him had changed from before. His anger had been subdued somewhat. It was interesting to observe the other, and he was fascinated. No danger appeared present at the moment, so the echidna warrior ventured to speak.

"You seem deep in thought. Does this 'brooding' help you focus?"

My muse brushes their lips against your muse’s ear as they murmur something just for them. / from haru! or kisa, if preferred!

If Haru expected Sebastian to retain even one bit of what he'd just said, he was going to be sorely disappointed.

All he could detect with any kind of sense was the warm brush of soft lips against his ear.

It was a jolt to his system he'd never felt before, every nerve ending feeling electrified as his brain tried to process the unfamiliar sensation. The gentle heat of his breath against his skin )prompting an involuntary shiver,) the ever-quiet tone of his voice, how his nose had touched some of his hair... He wasn't sure anything had ever caused that sort of flutter in his chest before. Had set his pale face very visibly on fire before.

It was such a small and simple thing, hardly even intended to cause this reaction if he had to guess, and yet it had set him alight like nothing else.

Nothing platonic, for sure.

Fuck.

"... U-uh..." he stammered, realizing he'd been silent for a noticeable amount of time as his companion was waiting for a response. Brown eyes, widened, blinked rapidly and a hand came up to rub his burning face. Not having the courage to even look at him. Fuck, fuck. "S-sorry... could you say that again? I think I missed it..."

"Ooooh!" The genie elf stretched her back as she emerged from her bottle, having clearly been asleep just beforehand. Looks like someone found her unfortunately. Darn. So much for her hiding spot.

"You have found the almighty and mystical Ninjini, hooray for you, just...give me a minute." A yawn parted past her lips. "I was...sleeping. I'm not fully awake yet."

[american-spines]

"Thank you for rescuing me." Abigail said with a small chuckle. "The ride here was enough to get my blood to stop boiling. I swear that man.." She takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly. John always getting under her skin and only making things worse every time opens his mouth, or every time he doesn't. She's not trying to force a relationship, she just wants what's best for Jack. Walking next to Arthur they step foot into Valentine. There's stables to her back left and a butcher on the right. A building is being built which would bring onlookers to wonder what type would be there. "Oh what I would do for a bath, or a drink." Eyes seeing the Inn along with the Saloon further down. "Probably wouldn't ever leave." She quickly adds to her sentence. "The bath, that is." "Let's go to the market first. There's a few things I want to pick up. Jack's been bothering me for more candy. I've been lucky enough to save up some coins for chocolate." She had some money but not much from her working days. Hard to make anything when you're stuck at camp all day with your son. Which once more would be nice of John would put his two cents in, or five cents for that matter.

        HER BREATH CAUGHT IN HER THROAT upon her gaze gleaning over the splotch of red. or... reddish. it had dried, clearly, no longer fresh, but it was evident against the landscape. the crater behind her was ANOTHER scar upon the earth, one that tom was knelt down within, looking for anything that might serve as a clue. it was carl who had located it, but it was her and tom who searched it.

                        they didn't know m u c h, but sonic had ultimately affirmed to them that this other... this shadow wasn't an enemy. he was simply... lost. and from what tiny bits of information she knew, the woman could understand why. what she didn't quite get yet was the why why. the reasoning behind his actions. for nearly destroying the earth... only to s a v e it. all she knew now was he needed help.

          "tom... there's blood. it's a trail, we should get my bags-"

“hey hey, don’t worry about it. nobody gets it right on their first try!” the white quilled hedgehog quickly perks up from his position on the ground, having narrowly missed the projectile flying over his head. never had he imagined finding someone so alike himself, but even if their abilities were the same, someone was a bit more experienced to say the least. no matter, silver was happy to offer his assistance, i mean, when else would he get such an opportunity again?

“here, have another go,” he retorts, that familiar turquoise glow returning to his hands as he retrieves the thrown object from afar. “we’ll do this as many times as you need, i don’t mind, really.”

@allnostalgic asks: "it's different for you. your family needs you." / from shadow because OW? ( PROMPTS FROM THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE / accepting! )

“ ⸻I need you too! ” It came out without much thought behind it. He rushed in with his feelings, with his heart and emotions. Sonic soon catches on and soon reeled himself back. Whoa. “ I- Sorry... ” He sheepishly scratched the back of his head. “ What I mean before I let myself rush far into this. It's not that different. Because we need you. You can have a family too. You can't just... brood all day and all night in a cave! You got to step out into the light. ”

He reached his gloved hand out, reaching out for Shadow. “ Do you think you can step into the light... with me? ”

「 @allnostalgic liked for a starter ft. Abyo 」

     IT WAS RIGHT AFTER PRACTICE, a regular ol' good match in which he got his ass beat up by Garu, that Abyo found himself staring at his friend. The bottle of water in his hand was momentarily forgotten as he kept staring before he turned the cap to close it, and looked down at his hands. ❝ I've never really asked why you don't speak, 's not my business but, other than scribbling on paper, and interpreting your body language, I kinda feel like I failed as a bro, you know? 'cause it's on you for me to understand ❞.

     To prove his point, Abyo looked up at his friend with a somewhat defeated expression, even now, he had to observe Garu. It was easy, having known each other for some time now, to guess accurately still... ❝ Like, I understand but it doesn't feel like I'm doing enough ❞.

The air might not be as clean as Pelican Town, but at least the noise kept his mind quiet.

That was why he came out here, really. To get away from everything, somewhere so unlike his home that he wouldn't think about it for a while. Hell, he'd book a hotel for a few days if he could afford it (and not stress his mother out). Unfortunately, trips until late at night were the best he could do until he could finally move out.

He might as well get acquainted with the place, beforehand.

Sebastian stood up from his previously knelt position next to his motorcycle, having finished locking the chain around a lamppost. Backpack shrugged off and put carefully down beside him before reaching up to undo and remove his helmet, giving his hair a good shake to loosen it up with a relieved breath.

Already, he felt relaxed again. Thank Yoba.

Pale fingers combed through his long, dark locks, before both arms lifted in a good stretch with a hum in his throat. The trip wasn't short, even on his bike. Maybe he'd walk a bit, stretch his legs, before deciding where to settle for the rest of his visit. Have a smoke along the way. That sounded nice.

His helmet, which had been propped against his hip, leaned down with the rest of him to be placed inside his just unzipped backpack. Couldn't risk it being stolen. Satisfied, he zipped it back up, leaned back up, slid it back on his shoulders, and finally started walking down the sidewalk. Hands already fishing around his hoodie pocket for his cigarette pack and lighter.

Sam and Abby were great company but, sometimes, he just had to be away from everything on his own for a while. Sorta like an emotional reset button. It helped. It always did.

@allnostalgic ♥'d for a starter | for FIX-IT FELIX JR.

— ⚡︎ "LOOK, I've been around the block a time or two with this kinda thing. You're making me want to cry just watching you."

CHICK DIDN'T REALLY KNOW what he was doing — giving advice to the competition wasn't exactly something he was EVER in the habit of doing. The goal was always to finish number one, and the chances of that slimmed with ANY shred of secrets divulged. But maybe Chick just didn't feel THREATENED by someone he could scarcely avoid viewing as a peppy pipsqueak.

it's not that he hated going out on these daily trips with lil petey, they could be fun every now and again; giving him a small sense of normalcy if only for a few hours. the part he hated was needing to constantly stay on guard, both in fear of lil' petey running off, and the small chance someone would recognize him from his line of work.

unfortunately for him you take your eyes of them for one second lil petey had slipped away. eyes dart in the direction of a small orange blur as it skipped around a corner. course, by the time petey had reached said corner, the tiny feline is nowhere to be found. ears flatten as tired groans escapes him. beginning to massage the temples on his head while attempting to mentally rationalize the situation.

eyes flicker to a figure just a few yards ahead of him, he looks around unsurely as if hoping to find someone else to bother but... this guy's probably his best bet. " hey ! fox ! "

feet hesitantly move forward before quickening to catch up to the stranger. stopping just before him, petey glances around again, looking around a tad nervously as he rubs his arm. his tail flicks out behind him with an irritated impatience to it; here's hoping he'll receive no judgement.

" you uh... you see a kid run by just now ? real small looks like an exact copy of me ? "

The cold broke, and there was a small spell of warmth in late autumn.  ‏‏‎ ‎Soft rays of light escaped the through roof of woven leaves and dappled the forest beneath with spots of comforting heat,  which the snow-covered earth gladly drunk in.

In her den atop the hill Dart's eyes surveyed across the forest below,  the sun rising behind the contrasted silhouettes of distant trees and slopes.  ‏‏‎ ‎The beds of fog that blanketed the forest slowly burned off,  fading away to reveal a stark orange sky that brilliantly radiated the sun's light across the land,  scattered yellow clouds streaking across the heavens like the strokes of a divine paintbrush. ‏‏‎ ‎Every morning, evening, and night the forest would alight with a chorus of voices,  though this picturesque dawn fell suspiciously quiet.  ‏‏‎ ‎Dart felt a subtle pang of disquiet inside her.

Suddenly,  Dart's ears swiveled as a raucous commotion erupted in the distance.  Flapping wings and shrill voices sounded from the south-eastern part of the forest.  ‏‏‎ ‎A multitude of birds desperately dispersed from the canopy,  the crows circled crying their joyless calls,  and the vague voices of agitated forest-folk were audible from even here.  ‏‏‎ ‎It wasn't uncommon for chaos such as this to occur in the forest,  but the pure vitriol pouring from their cries was not.  ‏‏‎ ‎It piqued Dart's ill-advised curiosity.

Tracks trailing behind as her hooves gently punctured the cold sheet of snow,  Dart observed her surroundings intently.  ‏‏‎ ‎Despite her desire to understand,  she was still wary,  and ready to turn tail at a moments notice if needed.  ‏‏‎ ‎Every few steps she would move forward,  then shrink back,  almost folding into herself,  before stretching out once more and continuing again.  ‏‏‎ ‎As she neared the southern thicket of the forest,  the racket vibrating through the air begun to grow clearer,  Dart quickening her pace eagerly as a result.  ‏‏‎ ‎She wanted to know what was causing such a stir in the community terribly, though she didn't have to wonder for long.

❝ Traitor ! ❞ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎Cried the magpie. ❝ Scoundrel ! ❞  ‏‏‎ ‎Shrieked the weasel. ❝ Betrayer ! ❞  ‏‏‎ ‎The jay screeched.

In every corner of this thicket there seemed to be creatures rallying.  ‏‏‎ ‎From branches in trees above, or from burrowed dens in the earth below,  every creature had joined together here in an embittered frenzy that maddened them and caused them to forget caution.  ‏‏‎ ‎Overhead the crows still shouted loudly,  ❝ Spy !  Spy !  Spy ! ❞

Driven by their harsh words,  Dart sprang forwards,  desperate to finally find out what had caused all this uproar in the first place.  ‏‏‎ ‎Breaking through the wall of golden foliage that obstructed her vision,  wilting leaves grazed across as her muzzle as she parted through the brush.  ‏‏‎ ‎Setting hoof into the clearing,  Dart gasped at the sight.

❝ How dare you ! ❞  ‏‏‎ ‎The squirrel scolded from her perch upon a straight branch,  ❝ You should be ashamed ! ❞  ‏‏‎ ‎Her tail whipped like a lick of flame.

❝ You will surely lead Him to us ! ❞ ‏‏‎ ‎ The fox yipped,  his body taught with contempt.

Apprehensively,  like a young beech in the wind,  a canine with a messy cedar coat stood before them,  receiving their cruelty directly without so much as a lip-curl in retort.  ‏‏‎ ‎It seemed this stranger had barely stepped paw within the wood before immediately becoming a victim of association.  ‏‏‎ ‎Humans simply meant death for any creature in this forest,  and any creature guilty of serving Man was fated to be cast out, cursed by the forest-folk whom have always hated and despised Him.

❝ What is going on here ? ❞  ‏‏‎ ‎Dart marched forth,  snow gently crunching underhoof. She simply demanded from anyone willing to speak, though when the other forest-folk ignored her, she looked to the stranger directly for an answer.

@allnostalgic Cont. from Here.

   She didn't really last long in that party honestly. Trying to be as polite as she could, she talked to whoever approached her, but at some point she couldn't do it anymore and slipped out. The night air was definitely more welcome than the heat that came with the crowd of the villagers.

   Fingers tapping against her own can, she almost doesn't register he's there at first, but the audible sigh is the one thing that makes her look up. For a moment, she's worried that excited chatter would start up, but lets out her own sigh of relief when it seems like he also prefers the quiet. 

   Now was the question of how to make things a little .. less awkward. 

" .. Evenin'. "

   She felt bad just sort of standing there in silence for so long, he was the one person she really sort of struggled to find a reason to talk to. Not because of any real reason other than the fact he never seemed to want to be bothered, not that she can blame him seeing as she can be like that sometimes. Very seldom does she leave the farm anyway unless her and her brother need supplies.

" It's uh .. certainly lively in there, isn't it? I thought I'd be the only one out here tonight .. Shane .. right? "

   If anything, with how small the town is, she would've heard his name from someone else, considering she doesn't recall asking him directly. Something she should probably apologize for if he points it out.

             "I TOTALLY GOT THIS, i've been practicing with nyanja!" the excitement bubbled in her voice, echoed by the big grin to cross her features. hope bounced on her toes, letting her energy build before she took off - a full on sprint before making the leap, half gracefully and half clumsily landing on the other side. she SPRUNG up, arms in the air and grin wide. looking back to jade, final assessment of the gap was made. "yeah! that's the furthest i've done yet! landing needs a bit of work though, huh?"
