[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.

Alright then, Tohru.

[Again he's saying a foreign name carefully, so he doesn't mess it up. And his last name is literally Hedgehog, so technically everyone knows it.]

We do special jobs, but we had just finished one before I ended up here.

[agentlewish]

Special jobs? It sounds like you were doing something really important at home.

I don't know if this'll help, but... I heard that when you go back home -- it's almost as if no time has passed at all.

[ringsthatbind]

Hm, somehow I have a feeling that is just something they told us to keep us from being in a hurry to return home.

[agentlewish]

But... they've sent us here to help, and they've been taking care of us, too. I don't think they'd lie to us.

[ringsthatbind]

People with the purest intentions can still lie.

[agentlewish]

... You're right.

But... I don't think they'd do something to purposely hurt us.

[ringsthatbind]

You're allowed to think that, even if it may be wrong.

[agentlewish]

I'm sorry -- you don't have to answer, but... is there-- a reason why you don't trust the people who brought us here?

[ringsthatbind]

We're taken from our homes, why would anyone trust kidnappers?

[agentlewish]

You're right. We were taken from our homes, but...

They wouldn't have done something like this if they could help their world on their own. They didn't do it maliciously.

[ringsthatbind]

[He just lets out an annoyed sigh now.]

I don't think we are going to agree on this, Tohru.

[Because malicious or not, Shadow does not agree with the whole shebang.]

[agentlewish]

( She laughs a little, albeit it's nervous. )

... You're probably right. But... I think I understand why you feel the way you do, too.

[ringsthatbind]

Somehow I doubt that.

[He's not really one for getting such understanding.]
