[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.

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.

[ringsthatbind]

Yes, I do believe they're only in my world. The chao, I mean.

[As to the rest.]

I've noticed, the number of humans that is.

[tantailizing]

You'd be surprised what you find out here sometimes.

[Cuz suddenly, moogles and chocobos are in other worlds.]

Haha, fair. Hard not to notice. Everyone's pretty easy to get along with, but you'll have a few smart alecks mixed in with them so until your friends - or acquaintances - show up, you should be fine.

[ringsthatbind]

[Considering the craziness of Shadow's world sometimes, he's taking this in stride.]

I can deal with smart alecks. [He's dealt with Sonic after all.] And they're my team, we work together and we do it well.

[tantailizing]

Good to hear. You'll be fine then!

I make a habit of checking out the bay for any new arrivals so if I see your team there, I'll make sure to message ya.

[ringsthatbind]

... Thank you. Is there anything that I could do for you in exchange?

[Shadow isn't one for owing folks.]

[tantailizing]

Nah, I got this one. Everyone's usually looking for people at the bay and can't always get out there so it's a pretty open offer.

[ringsthatbind]

[Shadow is not comfortable with this, but he has a hunch Zidane is one of those types who won't take up the offer just from his words thus far.]

Alright, but if you do need anything... [The offer is there.]

[tantailizing]

Haha, next time we'll do a full trade! Promise!

[Gosh, one of those types. He really doesn't need to worry about it.]

[ringsthatbind]

Good.

[Owing people is high on Shadow's do not like list.]

[tantailizing]

Good!

Talk to ya later, Shadow!

[And he closes the video.]

[ringsthatbind]

[He was about to say something about not getting Zidane's name, but the young man closed the video so... Shadow will just keep him in mind as a "cheerful blond boy" that he'll owe for helping out.]
