...

N-no. Not really. I just missed you a little is all.

[ trying to play it off cool. and failing. ]

Oh, hey. Short n' Pink came out to play! Where've you been?

hand her over!!!!

hey motherfucker

OOC.

AMESSSSSSS

OOC.

Be safe.

... whatever the case, I'd do it a thousand times over if I could. I wouldn't have let him go easy, either.

felt was anger. Death was entirely too good for that monster. And she deserved that honor more than ANYONE. But she'll never get it now. She hasn't even realized it, but she's been clutching her fist violently the whole time she reminisced, and she hasn't even fully acknowledged Anti's advance. ]

I wish I could take credit for it. I don't even know how it happened, I just know he's dead. Dead, and...

...

[ She's fallen silent. Surge didn't really take the time to think about how she felt about Starline's demise. She should be so overjoyed to know he can't hurt her again, but... all she +

I didn't pick it out myself. My old boss thought it fit, and I stuck with it ever since. He's dead now, by the way. So this style's all my own!

[ She seemed a little too happy over such a morbid thought... ]

Way better than a pair of outdated shades, am I right??

that she's been forced under, and cope as she might, she's still not quite used to it all. Just thinking about how much stronger everyone else has been here so far... It gave the tenrec chills. But she wasn't a coward. ]

... I just hope Drippy's doin' alright while I'm stuck here.

And then I wake up in those same plains not recognizing anything or anyone - all except that blue pain in the ass and the pink one. This "Mobius" place is way different than Earth was. But... it also feels like I haven't left, either. I don't get it...

[ She lamented over the change in scenery +

[ It's been some time now since Surge found herself outside of her typical stomping grounds and into someplace else; a different world entirely. With SEVERAL different Sonics, no less. To call it jarring would be an understatement. ]

hey,,,,,,,,,

OOC.

i need to plot and potentially angst with surge.......

. . .

What's this for?

[ She hasn't gotten a card from someone before. ]

OOC.

i fucking love this tenrec.

different as he was similar to Sonic. However rocky their first meetings went, Surge had enough sense to know that much. ]

Surge. Surge the Tenrec. I'd say it's a pleasure but I'm not sure if it is. Yet.

[ She leans up onto the same railing, as if trying to keep even with him. ]

Hey, look at that, you said something that didn't immediately make me wanna punch ya. You DO have some common sense in there.

[ A snicker. One of the blue boys acting outside of their usual attitude was a nice change of pace, but she was gonna play this by ear. Scourge - or Anti, rather, was as +

OOC.

do yall ever want to write with someone but you're not sure how to approach so you just sit there like this

LIKE IT ISN'T A BIG DEAL AT ALL BUT damn!

What's even the appeal of Valentine's Day, anyway? It just sounds like an excuse to get free stuff.

. . .

YO, WAIT, FREE SHIT!

WAY better.

only people that wants to help me do better. BE better. I know you're not askin' for a price, but I didn't wanna just leave you empty handed, either. Sorry if it ain't much. So... Thanks, Amy. For reals.

[ a rare genuine moment from the tenrec... ]

... by the way, pink flowers? Not as pretty. You?

Ugh, don't make a big thing outta this... I just wanted to do somethin', uh... "nice"? Yeah, somethin' like that. I mean, you do a ton of nice things for me for free, even when I'm... uh... ugh, I'm no good at this... I'm kinda terrible, alright?! Ya happy now? You're like... one of the few, if not+

I know what you are

... sorry if none of this is any of what you wanna hear.

new shot in some other world, and I'm still bein' haunted from stuff from mine. Do you get how much this messes with me? It feels like you're only doin' this because you want me to struggle. Just like Star-- ... the bastard that did this to me.

[ Her tone still held that frustration, but... less +

[ and yet, her expression softened up a bit after her brief shout. ]

. . . I really do hate you. It's not even your fault. It's... not somethin' I can just turn off. I was made to hate your smug blue mug, even if it isn't YOUR smug blue mug specifically. It isn't fair to you. I GET that. I get a +

Do you even hear yourself? You're still the same blue pain in the ass! So what if you're sturdier and less of a pushover?! And so what if the one I know is too much of a goody-two-shoes to even THINK about approaching me like this? Do you think that makes you SPECIAL? God, you seriously piss me off.
