Okay, looks like not everyone knows about this, so I'm gunna try to get right to the point.

Apparently, someone put out some magic that's given some of you humans animals ears and tails and what not. Personally I think you guys look better that way. But now another dude thinks that A) an animal mage did it, which makes no sense, 'cause last I checked, animal changes can only do that stuff to themselves, and B) thinks the best solution to reverse what's going on by murdering all the animal mages.

Yeah. Solid logic there.

I'm trying to give a head's up here because not only have animal mages been attacked, but so does anyone who already looked like an animal, including yours truly. I've personally seen some of these money-hungry monsters go after kids, so, just to be clear, it's bad out there right now. So if you're an animal mage, or you've always had non-human traits, please be safe! Don't go out alone if you can, stay in groups!

I'm sure we can get this nonsense wrapped up as soon as possible, but until then, let's make sure no one messes with our mages!

Yeah, well, some people are really dumb, really desperate, or really stubborn. Or all three at once.

... From the sound of things, you've got it covered, but I still gotta ask - how're you holding up?

[ringsthatbind]

Foolish, really.

[Although he sounds annoyed, he doesn't sound like he's hurt or anything so...]

I'm fine, I've handled situations like this before so it's nothing new to me. What about yourself, Miss Duck?

[sos_pilot]

Same here! ... Well, not "same", no one's ever gone after me because I'm a duck, since where I'm from... we're all animals. But I've been in bigger and badder scrapes since I was a duckling.

[ringsthatbind]

[Sounds like Sonic, or any of the younger kids that he knows of.]

Well, that's good. It'd be a shame if someone as excitable as you got hurt because of this.

[sos_pilot]

[ her and sonic would get along like a house on fire. and probably accidentally get a house on fire. ]

Heh heh! Yeah, you types need me to remember to have fun every once in a while. Back home, I face down all kinds of bad guys, villains, and robots turned evil every day. It's basically my exercise routine.

[ringsthatbind]

[May the two of them never meet.]

Huh, sounds like home to me.

[sos_pilot]

Oh yeah, no surprise here. Team Dark, taking down the real baddies like the epic anti-heroes they are!

[ringsthatbind]

[He just snorts at that, because while true it's more like "following orders to take down the bad guy aka Eggman".]

Epic is a bit much.

[sos_pilot]

I didn't think you'd be the humble type.

[ Mostly just messing with him, because while it is a serious topic, being TOO serious is just depressing. Gotta keep everyone's spirits up! ]

[ringsthatbind]

I'm more concerned with other things than being humble, or bragging.

[No, always serious! No joking around here.]

[sos_pilot]

Like what? Rejecting compliments?

[ringsthatbind]

The current situation, for one.

[sos_pilot]

Pretty sure you can brag and still warn people about what's happening. Look at me doing it! Cause I'm awesome.

[ringsthatbind]

Bragging seems like a waste of energy that can be focused on more important things, here.

[sos_pilot]

Oh yes. Look at me. So exhausted. I bragged too much. I'm gunna pass out.

[ All said dead-pan. ]

[ringsthatbind]

You know that's not what I mean.

[Equally dead pan, but then again when isn't Shadow dead pan?]

[sos_pilot]

Do I? Or am I just too amazing that negativity bounces off me like rubber?

[ GASP. Clutching her chest. ]

Oof... that was... too much bragging, my strength...!

[ringsthatbind]

[He's just going to sigh and roll his eyes, something she doesn't see since it's voice from his end.]

[sos_pilot]

[ Hey, it's no fun if you don't fire back! ]

Aaanyway... while I do recommend none of us goes out along, is it a fair guess you're gunna do it anyway?

[ringsthatbind]

[Not firing back means it will end quickly!]

You'd guess right, I'm not going to allow some idiotic humans to get in my way.

[sos_pilot]

And if I said "Be careful", you'd just deflect anyway?

[ringsthatbind]

No.

[Which is a yes.]

[sos_pilot]

Well, I'll say it and mean it anyway. And if need help, I know what prickly dude I can count on.

[ringsthatbind]

...

[Man he barely knows Della so her having that kind of trust slightly baffles Shadow, then again. She reminds him too much of certain people from home, so should it be that baffling? Not really.]

Well, I guess if you end up needing my help I shall not disappoint.

[sos_pilot]

[ accept the hand of friendship, shadow, you know you want to. ]

And if I ever see your butt in danger, I'll be there to help out too! Even when you complain about it, because I know you would.
