[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.

Comments

[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.

[sos_pilot]

Oh.

... Huh.

[ She pauses, hand to beak, giving it some thought. ]

... Yeah, not terribly exciting... buuuuut maybe that's the point! Giving the enemy a false sense of reassurance. Makes it all the more awesome when you kick the door down, and the bad guys are like, "Who do you think you are?!" and you go "We're Team Dark."

[ringsthatbind]

...

[Pfft, a slight laugh escapes him at Della's words. Just at visualizing the scene ever happening with his team, because it's very unlikely that they would just kick down a door.

Blow up a door, yes, but no kicking.]

You have a unique imagination, Della.

[sos_pilot]

I'll take that as a compliment. And even better?

[ in a sing-song voice, wiggling her fingers. ]

I got you to smi~le!

[ringsthatbind]

[The smile doesn't last long once she points it out.]

Because you said something funny, I'm not so rude as to not let someone know when they're being funny.

[sos_pilot]

And so, the seeds of friendship have been planted.

[ringsthatbind]

[Okay that? Gets another short laugh out of him, because seeds of friendship aren't easily planted here.]
