[The screen is dark at first, the only thing people will hear is unique sounds before the screen clears up and shows a creature which is the source of said sounds.

It's a moment or two of the Chao, making faces, before an actual voice can be heard.]

What are you even doing?

[And onto the screen is Shadow, in all his black, red and white glory, looking mildly annoyed by his familiar's actions.]

This isn't a toy, and it's on. [He's not so dumb as to not notice that his phone is on, and recording something so... He'll address whoever it might be sending to.]

I highly doubt anyone here would know who I am but, this is Shadow the Hedgehog. If there is anyone by the name Rouge or E-123 Omega here I would like to know.

Bullshit you're a hedgehog. Hedgehogs are like, little, and brown, and shit.

Also, "Shadow"? C'mon, man, even I know that's trying too hard. [He laughs, and the qilin standing behind him snorts, then butts his shoulder.]

Don't be rude, Jackie. He's clearly new.

Aight, aight, look, man, [Jackie says, trying to smother his laughter.] Hedgehog. Whatever. If you want to be respected, you have got to get a less edgy name right off the bat, but somethin' that still strikes terror into the hearts of your enemies, you know?

[ringsthatbind]

[Somehow this reminds him of Sonic, somehow. Shadow simply keeps his expression neutral, or simply in a "line face" expression.]

That's the name I was given, and I see no reason to change it, human. Also I'm quite capable of taking care of my enemies without needing to rely on silly things like that.

[jinzhong]

You were not born with the name "Shadow". Nobody in their right mind would name a kid that. Oh, man...

[Jackie's seen plenty of tough guys. Shadow's :| and gruff voice isn't even close to intimidating him. Especially not over video.]

So what, you hedgehog them to death?

[leicesters]

Ignore that other guy, we can all tell you're a hedgehog. It's obvious from your prickly personality!

[ringsthatbind]

[Sigh.]

That's not really important...

[leicesters]

[not even a liiittle smile? tough crowd]

Oh yeah, you're looking for two people, right? Haven't met anyone by those names, sorry.

Oh my gosh...okay what even is that thing it's so cute...!

[Those cute Chao noises!!]

[ringsthatbind]

What?

[Shadow was distracted by the two unhelpful replies that Junko's response took him off guard, enough that the Chao is back on screen and it sticks out it's tongue at Junko.]

Oh, you mean the chao.

[corpsewarblade]

Aww~

[You'd think after Monokuma, she'd have had enough of mascot-type things but- no, even with it sticking it's tongue out at her, that was cute.]

A chao, huh? Yeah, it's definitely super cute~ Your familiar, right?

[ At first, Della is so relieved to find another animal/not-human! But then she... notices something. Oh, man. Oh, no. She tries to whisper. ]

... Dude, I don't think you realized it, but, like... you're naked. And broadcasting it.

[ No pants is one thing, but no shirt?! Scandalous! ]

[ringsthatbind]

[Oh a duck, it's nice to see another non-human. Although her concern seems a bit weird.]

... I'm dressed enough.

[One only needs gloves and shoes! Pants and shirts get in the way.]

[sos_pilot]

... Oooh, you're one of those types. Yikes, this place really does bring in anyone and everyone...

[ A nudist! The scandal! ]

All other unnecessary commentary aside...

[ Would you all just answer the damned question posed people? ]

I have not heard the two that you are looking for over this "network."

[ringsthatbind]

[Finally someone who isn't trying to be, dunno, funny. The fact that Shadow is somewhat grateful for a direct answer shows in his tone of voice.]

Thank you, although I have a feeling that if they were here they wouldn't outright announce themselves over the phone.

[whirlwindthrust]

[ What's a sense of humor? Xiao doesn't have much of one. ]

A valid point. They may yet still be present. Or, if not now, then perhaps in the future.

[It's not every day you see another hedgehog on the network, so Crow spits out the milk he's drinking as he replies to Shadow's message. He hastily tries to wipe away the white streaks from the screen so he can be fully visible.]

You're a hedgehog too?!

[There's a pause before he realizes that his current form makes him look human.]

Oh yeah, I've been stuck in this form without being able to change back, but I'm definitely a hedgehog!

[He flicks the small ears on top of his head just to emphasize the point.]

Anyway, I haven't heard of either of them and if they're hedgehogs too, I definitely would've noticed by now!

[ringsthatbind]

[Yeah Shadow is, not exactly not believing him, but he totally does not believe this human.]

They're not hedgehogs, Rouge is a bat and Omega is a robot.

[milkmycattle]

[It's cool, Crow won't push the issue. Though at the description, he shakes his head.]

A bat and a robot? Nah, it doesn't ring a bell! Are they friends of yours?

[tantailizing]

[Zidane has no comment on Shadow, but...]

Huh, how'd your moogle get their pom that pointy?

[Moguo has to peer into the screen too, tilting his head.]

Anyway, sorry. Haven't heard either of those names around here, not even in the underground. Gotta description if I see them around?

[ringsthatbind]

I have... No idea what a moogle is, it's a chao.

[Shadow has a hand on the chao's head, to keep it from acting up now.]

That seems to be the consensus, that they might not be here. As to how they look...

[Shadow gives a highly detailed description of Rouge and Omega, like it's kind of scary how detailed he is. Like down to the colour of clothing and even scratches on the robot's frame.]

[tantailizing]

A chao? Huh.

[He'll keep that in mind.]

Hm.... Yeah, I haven't seen anyone like that yet and they'd stand out. Got a lot of humans here and not much of anyone else.

[agentlewish]

( There are so many talking animals here... This one seems mysterious and pretty cool, too... While she doesn't recognize the creature that's with him, she can't help but guess that it's his familiar. )

Oh hello, Shadow! It's very nice to meet you and your friend.

Were you able to contact anyone from home?

[ringsthatbind]

[Someone being helpful, isn't rare since a few others have also been helpful now on this posting. Shadow's expression softens though, he has a weird soft spot for young girls.]

No, no one from my home seems to be here. Unfortunately.

[floatsaway]

Uwaahh, it's so cute!!

[What even is that thing?! It's like a little, kind of...imp creature? Maybe?? But gosh, it's actually not scary at all and sort of adorable? And those little baby noises it made? Oh my gosh??? Ochako coos at the little thing right up until Shadow appears, but her smile still stays in place.]

Hello, Shadow-san!! [Honestly, not at all bothered by this supposed 'hedgehog' thing in the slightest - quirk genetics just sort of...condition one to find different of outlandish bodyshapes and sizes pretty common. Anthropomorphic animals are pretty much also a thing back home, too, though they're still considered humans with an animal-like mutation quirk.] I haven't heard of anyone by those names, I'm sorry...but it seems like the time where newcomers arrive, so it's very possible they might in the next few days or so.

I do patrols by the lakeside every now and again, would you like me to keep an eye out for you?

[ringsthatbind]

[Lots of helpful people here, it kind of makes Shadow a bit wary. Although again, this young lady doesn't seem threatening.]

I know, I'm new myself. [And if he's asking after his team it must mean they weren't at the lake when he showed up.

Also a lot of people have offered to keep an eye open for Rouge and Omega so...]

It's fine, it seems I already have quite a few people looking out for them.
