[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.

[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! ]

[ringsthatbind]

No.

[The only reason the people he does trust knows stuff is that they went and either experienced it themselves or looked it up, so Della is out of luck getting Shadow to talk about himself.]

[sos_pilot]

What about your friends? Tell me about them! And before you say no, it would make them easier to spot if they arrive here.

[ringsthatbind]

They're my team, and there isn't much to say about them... Rouge is a bat who is dedicated to finding certain things she enjoys and Omega is well. A robot, who enjoys destruction.

[sos_pilot]

A bat and a bot! What a killer combo! I love it! Do you guys have a cool team name?

[ringsthatbind]

Not really.

[They're called Team Dark, it's not what one would call a cool name.]

[sos_pilot]

Really? Why not? I bet it would be so awesome! An edgelord, a cool collector, and a killer 'bot - it has the makings of an epic team name!

[ringsthatbind]

We have a name, but I wouldn't call it cool or awesome.

[sos_pilot]

The more you delay this, the more I wanna hear it.

[ringsthatbind]

It's Dark.

[Yup, that's what the delay and everything was about. That one single word.]

[sos_pilot]

So what if it's dark, tell me anyway! I can handle any kind of morbid!

[ *rimshot* ]

[ringsthatbind]

[Big old sigh from him, before he is going to clarify.]

No, we're called Team Dark.
