[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.

Listen, I'm not gunna judge. You do you. Just don't be surprised to get a lot of weird looks.

[ well i mean. she's gunna judge a little. but not too much. ]

[ringsthatbind]

[????]

Alright then, thank you for the warning miss?

[sos_pilot]

I'm Della Duck! Haven't seen or heard about your friends, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open for them.

[ringsthatbind]

... Thank you, although part of me hopes they're where they're needed than here.

[sos_pilot]

Well, considering our homes hit the pause button, that kinda doesn't matter. They might as well be here with you to make things easier!

[ringsthatbind]

Somehow I don't believe that, the "pause" button explanation.

[sos_pilot]

Why not?

[ringsthatbind]

Because it's convenient for them to say things are paused back home, it means we won't be in any rush to leave.

[sos_pilot]

You must be fun at parties.

[ringsthatbind]

I don't do parties.

[sos_pilot]

[ i'm shocked, shocked! well not that shocked.gif ]

Gee, what a surprise.

Anyway, I guess that means no one's told you about people from different times in the same world?

[ringsthatbind]

[Parties are for people with free time.]

No, that would be the first I'm hearing of such a thing.

[sos_pilot]

It's just as it sounds - there are groups of people that come from the same world, but at different points in time, without memories of their friends missing or their own world being frozen. That's proof, right?

[ringsthatbind]

[Silence then.]

Somehow I'm finding that hard to believe as well.

[sos_pilot]

C'mon, what do I get out of lying to you?

[ringsthatbind]

[Shadow simply shrugs.]

Someone to fall for something that foolish would be an easy target for other things.

[sos_pilot]

Did you just call me dumb?!

[ringsthatbind]

No, if I was going to call you dumb I'd call you dumb.

[sos_pilot]

You totally called me foolish!

[ same diff! ]

[ringsthatbind]

No, I said anyone who believes such things are foolish.

[Shadow is the type to outright call people things, although...]

You actually believe it.

[sos_pilot]

Of course I do, it makes total sense! Besides, this kind of stuff happens all the time back in my world! Me and my fam usually get zapped into another dimension at least three times a month.

[ringsthatbind]

No, it doesn't make sense. And good for you?

[Shadow being stubborn on this is hilarious when one considers he probably takes Silver the time traveler at his word.]

[sos_pilot]

You won't believe me, you think I'm dumb, and you're being stubborn. There's only one way to work around this...

I'm gunna make you trust me!

[ OPERATION : BEST FRIENDS ]

[ringsthatbind]

... Good luck with that.

[Operation Impossible is more like it, Shadow is a stubborn old man.]

[sos_pilot]

[ Nothing Can Stop Della Duck. ]

All right, now spill some deets about yourself, Shads!

[ we're already in nickname territory! ]
