"Please tell Surge and Kitsunami to meet me in my office. I need a moment to gather my things."

The wildcat stared at her through the doorway, unblinking.

"Riiiight.

"Hey, do you always have 'ta call people by their full names? I only told ya his shit 'cause I knew you'd figure it out anyway."

"If they did not want to be called by their full names, then they would not be their legal name. I have put in the paperwork to make the legal name change process much easier--"

"Nooooot my point. "Whatever. I'll see you, Scary Lady. Don't 'cause them too much stress, alright?"

"Stress is not the intent. It is simply giving the tenrec her duties and--"

"Don't care. Bye!"

She closes the door, wandering away from the panda's bedroom and down towards the stairs.

...Fuck.

Never in a million years would Cory give out that name. Even if they were dating, that wasn't somethin' she'd ever tell anyone. Never know who you can trust and whatever. And trusting Neera, fucking Neera with that???

A recipe for disaster waiting to happen.

...Yet, she's not doing anything about it? The wildcat would expect an immediate arrest, life in prison, for even associating with that. But the way she said it, it felt more like a threat than anything.

An empty threat, maybe?

Eugh, whatever. Think about it later. After she calls--...

After she talks to Surge an' Kit. Then she can call Cory. Save the best for last, after all.

So, when she got to her bedroom door, she'd just open it, only to find--oh!

They were watching her Battlesphere stuff???

...

A smug smirk appeared on her face.

" 'Sup, guys? What'cha watchin'? Looks like somethin' cool, no doubt. 'Prolly some of the coolest stuff like, ever."

[wildcatofgreen]

To say that it didn't feel awkward being there for their little moment would be an understatement!!! She just held onto her upper arm with her other hand and sort of... stood there. Like, what else was she gonna do? Join Surge reprimanding her brother??? Seriously???

But once she turned back around, she put a hand behind her head and smiled really awkwardly.

"N-Nah, you're good, girl. Don't sweat it. Can't say I got much experience dealin' with his kinda schtick but...

"I mean I can try an' help? Maybe take 'em to Zao Land or somethin' later. Show him some real fun!"

To her thanks, she flashed a large smile.

"It ain't nothin', greenie! I'd do it anytime!"

GAH!! She winced particularly hard at the tenrec's punch. She really knew how to throw 'em, huh? Well, two could play at that game!!!

She punched the tenrec's shoulder right baCKSPIRITS!!!

THIS GIRL IS STURDY!!! Here she thought she was good at punching bots to oblivion but wowee did it feel like her punch was going up against somethin' tough.

She wouldn't let herself be seen wincing from her own punch, though. She's hit her shoulder before--maybe not as hard as now, but still!

Maybe she just drank a lot of milk? Stones does Carol need to drink more milk??? She already loves milk how's she gonna find time to drink MORE of it????

Whatever. Either way, she'd smile and lazily salute the tenrec and fox off, "I'll catch ny'all later! Hopefully Scary Lady ain't gonna be too harsh, for all of us!" Snickered, then started to walk off towards the panda's office.

Oh boy. Lets see what she's got in store for her.

Surge kind of winced when kit asked that question, she should have stepped in sooner. But she knew his brain was hardwired in a way, that he couldn’t think of it any other way. He just saw everything as a mission, and he couldn’t comprehend humor, or understand jokes the way she and Carol did. He simply processed it all different, for him lying was just to keep himself safe. His paranoia kept him and surge alive, and if he could make Surge happy he’d kill whom ever he had to. he didn’t feel guilt, or remorse like she did. He was broken, and she hoped deep down she could fix him.

But it scared her to death to think she couldn’t…that he might grow up into someone like Starline.

She knelt down next to Kit and placed a hand on his shoulder staring into his eyes.

” Hey… remember when we talked about, stuff we wouldn’t do no more? “

Kit looked away like a scolded child but nodded despite her tone being very calm if almost soft in nature.

” Carol’s right, We ain’t gotta do none of that shit no more, So no bein’ scary… no hurtin’ people … and let me deal with little miss Scary bitch i think i can handle a little icy gaze… ok? you just gotta be a kid for once. So anytime ya got them bad thoughts… just come talk to me— dun matter when, dun matter where… but ya start feelin’ off i’ll be here for ya… “

She held her fist out to kit who lifted his own up and did a little fist bump with her.

” Y…y…ye… yes Ma'am… But i … what if i… don’t know… i don’t know how… “

” You’ll learn Drippy… just give it time… “

She slowly turned to Carol hand on the back of her neck, She never told her just how messed up he was. She felt bad about it now, Kit had alot of healing to do—more then she knew really.

” Sorry about that… He won’t be a problem … promise, just gotta explain to him sometimes ya know? But yea, we’ll try the internet thing. We’ll just sit tight till yer back then… “

she clenched her fist once and then sighed

” Sorry… i guess i should have told ya… Ya know about Kit. He’s not a bad Kid… He’s just— “

She paused and let her arm drop down to her side

” He just needs time … Time heals all wounds i think i read that on some billboard… heh, well dun keep Scary Lady waitin’ an thanks again Carol, for everything. “

She almost hugged her but, that’d be so uncool so she PUNCHED her in the shoulder instead! Dang did it feel solid, like a rock or brass knuckles! Yea Surge, way to be a cool ass bad bitch, no hugs here! just punchies!

[universalzones]

" Hmm, don't take this the wrong way i'm just generally curious--- are you part shark? Piranha? what's the deal?"

Wave was just floating on her gear being generally curious and maybe she liked messing with the Tenrec a little bit!

"Oh, ha ha, very fucking funny. I haven't heard that a million fucking times." Surge was used to some smartass asking that stupid question. Only difference with Wave is she wasn't shaking in her boots and stuttering.

Then Surge had a idea to fuck with them back. "You're one of those nerd types. Why don't you come down here and see for yourself? I'll give ya a nice bite right on your arm so you can see just how sharp me teeth are." Yeah, totally a normal joke and couldn't be taken any other way at all.

@atangledfate

Surge took a deep breath, and focused, electricity crackling in the air around her. It bolts from one rock to another, often times gliding over it on the wind. Until it almost goes through one rock in particular, which Surge immediately turns to. She then slams her fist through it, quite loudly, and rips out some copper.

"Ha, easy! I'm getting better at this. Pretty soon I'll get all the copper we need for our work." She says smugly. Kit needed just a bit more copper and he would have enough for the wires. She had no idea that her noise had potentially attracted someone.

[aureumdraconeus]

@atangledfate encountered Surge...

Surge hadn't expected that she was going to be put in a situation like this. Normally when she felt her body acting on its own she knew that it was because something, or someone, was setting off that base instinct.

To fight.

That was what she had been made to do.

But right now, all she could tell was that this one wasn't exactly...hostile? But she still felt a sense of anger just looking at her.

"Who th' hell are you? You with Sonic or Eggman?"

[sonorous-strings]

" Yea, i mean--- Neera got like... plushie of her, a mug, and 'pparently they got cute nicknames for each other... i ain't most well versed in romance! but if movies are anything ta go bye...."

"I've only heard Neera be called 'Neers' and Neera usually just calls Cory 'mercenary'."

"Truth in television is a thing, but that's such an out of the blue thing. If it makes either one of them happy, I'm all for it!"

"It's just... weird."

"Oh, felgercarb. Am I going to be related to Neera someday?"

[sentient-rift]

"You know, Mr. Tinker, Instead of worrying Carol would be a bad influence on Terios, maybe it's Surge you should be more worried about..."

"I've already taken that into consideration... Looks like I have two green mammals to keep an eye on."

[fexrtherexper]

Holloween musings found here~

She smirked, kicking her legs playfully as she sat there watching Surge ponder her query. It was nice to see Surge entertaining the idea, and admitibly a little flattering that she would consider asking her for advice. Well, who was she to deny her friend some helpful pointers?

"Well, for starters, you need a good cloak, one that hides your features well. Dark, unknowable, mysterious. Quick and as quiet as the wind and twice as deadly. You have the glowing eyes down, and the lightning."

"Just, uhhh, don't take the tricking too far while you are trick or treating. The whole point of the holiday is to have a spooky good time. I'd offer you a scythe to complete the look, but i doubt a real one would go over too well with anyone. A weapon is a weapon after all, no matter who holds it."

@atangledfate

[diffxrentwxrlds]

{{ L }} "Niggas just be hatin', simple as that, bitch." So this was Surge? He heard some mentions of her in some crime rings but never expected to see her. Wasn't impressed. "You Surge?"

-Sees all the KILL votes-

"Y'all got a better chance killin' yourselves than me."

@atangledfate

Huh. She was actually a lot scarier up close.

Is this how those bullies felt when she scared them off from Lyli? Did she just like, fuck up?

Might be depressed, but a girl knows when to quit. She's not dyin' today, not over some stupid name calling.

"ya see, what i meant to say, is that you're an amazing and beautiful, uhhh...," she kind of looked like a dog? She's probably a dog, right? "dog, with your 'lil fangs and your nice hair and whatever. good girl."

Yeah, that worked. Enough to get her off her case.

[universalzones]

" Uhh... Surge... umm... that's ummm..."

Nervous pink hedgie

" You see, Pound is also... a slang word... and it uh, kind of means you wanna... "

She made a circle with her fingers and inserted her finger into the circle to imply it. She was way to shy and embarrassed to say the word!

"...You're jokes are shit. Even Drippy can come up with something better than that." Surge doubt anyone would be stupid enough to come to that conclusion when she say's she's going to pound someone's ass. Who would even do that?

"Like I said, smashing your head against a super badnik." Kitsunami knew Surge was dense, though this was on a whole other level to him. Whatever, the fennec knew everyone else was well aware what the tenrec meant she she says she'll pound someone. He was honestly glad she was too dense to get the other meaning.

[travelers-of-the-multiverse]

@atangledfate continued from x

Surge watched for a moment, taking in how the other her did this...she guessed it was training. But it really just looked like she was venting her anger, like how she would. The bleeding bandages made it pretty clear to her anyway. Even though the other Surge tossed a metal cap at her, she didn't make the effort to dodge. She just stared with her arms crossed.

"Relax, alright? I ain't got no reason to be beefing up with ya. Just warped into your world, and I heard you breaking shit over here. Not like I'm gonna start crap with you." She says walking closer. "...Is this your way of training? Or just venting?" She asks.

[aureumdraconeus]

Smash or Pass + Gold the Tenrec

@ any of your sonic muses

Send Smash or Pass + a name and my muse will say if they would smash or pass on that person.

"Oh, right you're eh...I dunno really, I guess I'd smash? Dunno, ya remind me a bit too much of some of the losers at the Resistance, but hey that ain't somethin' t' cry over."

[sonorous-strings]

She gives Sonar a good SOCK in the shoulder!

" Congrats! Damn must be a crazy high! Famous rocker boy and his famous super star lady finally hitched! Fuckin' picture perfect! you lucky fuck you! "

She had to congratulate the groom to he was just as important right?

" C...c...congratulations mr. Sonar sir! "

Sonar was leaning against a wall nearby, watching Carol's friends greet her and congratulate her. He smiled, though it was a somewhat sad smile. Even West had gone off to mingle. For all his charisma and confidence, friends were something he'd never really had much of. At least Carol could revel in the sea of positivity she was in the middle of-

Ow.

Almost literally shocked out of his reverie, he rubbed his shoulder, hissing at the stinging sensation. And it was tingling- yeah, it was Surge. And... he needed a second- right, Kit, her little brother. Hadn't spoken to him much- or her, for that matter- but he did see them around the palace a few times. He smiled, wincing at the shoulder pain. "Thanks a lot, you two," he said. He looked at Surge. "I'm definitely very lucky, though I wouldn't call myself famous." He looked down at Kit. "And just call me Sonar, eh?"

[wildcatofgreen]

She couldn't help but get a little flustered--her ears flicked a bit, her gaze averted from Ly--Surge. She is pretty lucky, huh? The rockstar thing wasn't even something that registered in her head. She just, loved him. And he loved her all the same. Not many people could have something like that. Something like him.

She didn't even respond--the mentioning of how Surge was somehow worse than her sister caught her off guard.

Yeah. Okay. Sure she was.

"Oh y'know, the ol' ''helped a crazy fish lady try to blow up the moon'' thing. A classic case--it happens to everyone!" She snickered, "Trust me, she's in it way deeper than you, Surge. Be glad ya didn't hafta rebuild this place brick by brick~."

Of course, when she was stationed here for that like, month, Carol helped. But still, the wildcat can't imagine Cory was having any sort of fun doing all of that.

"Can't imagine you wouldn't get along with her. She's just as cool as me! Maybe a 'lil more crass." They'd probably be fine.

Probably.

She'd just have to ask her sis in the mornin'. Easy peasy.

And also... see what Neera's asking her about.

And... probably deal with this upcoming Battlesphere thing. Ugh.

She only nodded along at the papers thing. Well, that's one less thing she's gotta worry about. Ain't gonna complain about it if she's so sure.

"Oh c'mon," she lightly punched the tenrec's shoulder, "I ain't even that good. Anyone would do the same as me, I bet'cha!"

She put her hands behind her head, shifting back over to the couch and flopping back onto it, "Make yourself comfy! Like ya said, tomorrow things'll make more sense. But for now, we can jus' chill out! Ain't gotta worry 'bout nothin' 'till then."

wildcatofgreen​:

“Oh nice–that just means less ‘ta move! Man, this might be easier than I thought.”

She peered at her change–it wasn’t bad money. Not a lot, but not a little, either–gold gems weren’t exactly common. She could probably just give Surge money for a while–it’s not like she doesn’t have a bunch of obscure gem stashes somewhere around the vicinity.

Actually wait if she’s gonna be with Cory then how the hell does Cory get her money? Sure, the house is free, but like… how did she buy food? Or… anything, really? Surely she didn’t actually get paid for anything she did at the museum. That’d be kind of silly–it’s community work.

“I’d 'prolly just give ya some cash until ya could get a job. Or maybe we ask my sis how she makes money–'cause there ain’t no way she’s got a job right now. If you’re gonna be livin’ with her, ya might as well know her secrets,” couldn’t help but snicker ever so slightly.

And then she didn’t have any papers to give to Neera. Hm.

Maybe she could ask Sony to help with forgeries…? It’s. Not the most honest thing to do, but he’s a mobian too! So like, he’d probably be a good thing to copy from…?

“I mean, I ain’t a stranger 'ta forgin’ nothin’, but yeah maybe somethin’ a 'lil more honest could be good. Maybe Neera can give you a pass…? Or we could jus’ copy an’ past from Sony’s stuff–Iunno how okay he’d be with that though.”

Crashing here?

She put a hand on her chin. Then, put a finger up, pressing into the inside of her ear once.

She tapped her foot on the floor impatiently. Once, twice–oh there he was. Wasn’t even gonna let him get a word in edgewise, “Yo, Sony, ya think a friend can crash at our place for the night? She kinda doesn’t have anywhere else to go.”

She has strategically not mentioned for a second that this woman has been on the news. That she’s the one who hung up their collective boss to dry. Just, it’s a friend! He can’t refuse “a friend”–no matter who it was.

And even if he did refuse she’d just sneak her in anyway.

But, her face lit up at his… honestly, kind of unsure? response. It was a yes, at least! And that’s all she cared about!

“Thanks, babe! Talk to ya when ya get home!” Pressed into her ear again, ending the call immediately.

“You’re good to go, greenie! Normally I’d just let ya stay here, but kinda sharin’ a room with my husband an’ all. Had 'ta at least ask. You get it, right?

“An’ dun’t even worry about Hanzi! I can teach ya that blindfolded!” Or, at least get her a class. But hell, she learned it when she was like, in diapers. Surely it couldn’t be that hard. Surely.

She cringed a bit at the idea of taking Carols cash, it was one thing to swipe it from some rich fuck, but taking it from a friend? Willingly or not didn’t sit well with the Tenrec. She stared at the gems in her hand rolling them around in her palm and sighing as she felt a little defeated. She never realized moving away could be so damn hard, there were so many factors she didn’t take into account. Plus she still had to break the news to Kit, and she had no idea how he’d handle it. Not like he had any friends per say but it was still moving from what was comfortable to some place new and unfamiliar. She had Carol, and maybe even that dork of a husband of hers as friends. But Kit wouldn’t really have that but she hoped he’d make a friend if he had a chance to be around folks who didn’t know about there past. 

“ I ain’t takin’ yer cash… i’ll work somethin’ out… I appreciate it Carol i do…but i got to much pride to take a hand out from a friend. I’d rather risk swipin’ some gems from short again… but cross that road when i need to. “

She let Carol go make her Call and she did the same, grabbing her phone to Text Kit. her thumbs racing across the keypad, trying desperately to explain things and hopin’ he wouldn’t be mad.

electrohart821: Hey Kit, I think i found us a new place to live… so pack yer shit we’ll be leavin’ soon. DrippyxXXx: Moving? that is sudden, is everything ok?  electrohart821: Yea, it’s good just found a place where no one knows us, no one can judge us… a chance to just work our shit out ya know? DrippyxXXx: If it’s what you want Surge, i always want what you want electrohart821: Cut that out, we talked about this. Listen just pack light only what you can carry ok? We’ll talk more tomorrow when i come to get you electrohart821:You gonna be alright alone tonight? Workin’ shit out here on my end… DrippyxXXx: I think so, promise you’ll be here tomorrow morning? electrohart821: Yea first thing, soon as Carol is up and ready… if she sleeps to long i’ll just give her a good ol’ dunking to get he ass up! just be ready, and if anything comes up call me

She looked up from her phone to see Carol was about done with her conversation to, looked like she was in the clear. Oh right, Sonar, she lived with the guy and she was gonna marry him right? Lucky bitch, she reminded herself she wanted to go to one of his concerts. Maybe she’d see if Kit would go with her, then again all that noise would get his anxiety going. Still she’d ask him once they got settled in. Luckily she figured Kit would pick up this Hanzi stuff in a week flat—lucky bitch she wished she was that smart. 

“ Oh Right… You lucky bitch! Marrin’ a rocker boy… that’s like every gals dream and you livin’ it. I’ll have ta find a way to thank you both once everything is settled… “

She paused though did she say sister? so she’d be workin’ with her sis? what the hell did her sister do to get slammed with community prison time!

“ Wait livin’ with yer sis? you mean the whole community jail time? so yer sis is a little trouble maker to huh? the hell did she do to land herself in hot water? Well not that i give a shit it can’t be worse then the shit i’ve done… hope i get along with her as well as i do you “

“ As fer the papers… Kit’ll have a plan, he’s the brains i’m the brawn… if anyone will know how to get papers proper, he’ll have an idea. Guess there ain’t no point dwellin’ on it…maybe tomorrow things will make more sense. “

She sighed and gave carol a soft smile

“ Heh yer a good sort Carol… dun let anyone tell ya otherwise…”
