[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.

Good for you. [He knows six year olds that can fight, so really.]

I'm not a machine. [He's a bit touchy about that.]

[jinzhong]

Well, yeah, you don't look like one. Most people don't say they were created, though. Wait. You some kind of religious nut? 'Cause even though people say this ain't Hell, I'm not buying what anyone's selling on that front.

[ringsthatbind]

[Flatly;] No.

I was made in a laboratory, that's what I mean.

[jinzhong]

Oh.

[Beat.]

Like some sci-fi shit? Man. They don't have that where I come from.

[ringsthatbind]

That's. One way of putting it.

[Shadow isn't even mentioning the whole "it was also in space" part.]

I'm taking it to be safe to assume my world is very different from yours.

[jinzhong]

Yeah, well, we don't have big talking hedgehogs where I come from, so that's a pretty safe assumption.

Nice to meet you, Shadow. I'm Jackie.

[ringsthatbind]

We have more than just hedgehogs, back home.

[Ah, introductions.]

Nice to meet you as well, Jackie.
