Oh, c'mon--

[At first there's static. Give it a second, Sonic's just trying to-- there we go!

The feed starts up with a lovely close-up of Sonic himself, looking all smug. Yes, folks, you're looking at a blue, anthropomorphic hedgehog who looks... nothing like a hedgehog! Go figure.]

Okay, now that I've got this bracelet thing workin', yo! [He

Didn't know hedgehogs were big fans of chili dogs.

But hey, if you find any, let me know. I could go for some too.

Are you kidding? There's nothing better than a chili dog, pal. I'd have to be crazy to hate 'em!

[But it's always cool to see someone else who likes 'em.]

Anyway, I was thinkin' of whipping some up. Just gotta see if there's supplies for 'em.

Hyahaha, I won't disagree with that. Still, a hedgehog? You're a lot different from the hedgehogs I've seen... not that I've really seen that many.

[ ...actually, has he seen any? eh, minor detail. ]

Man, I've been living on a budget lately, so it's pretty much been cup noodles every night... [ sigh. ] If I can eat well here, this place is paradise.

[At least he's taking it better than Edgeworth, who kept going on about how impossible it was for him to exist!]

Hah, I know how that goes. When the whole planet's ruled by a lame-brain like Robotnik, budgets don't even exist.

[Though Sonic won't be able to see it, Castiel has tilted his head so far to the side that it looks like his neck is broken. He's fixated on the most important part of this entire post.]

You look nothing like a hedgehog.

[Voice]

[waypastcool]

Dunno what hedgehogs you're used to, but I'm guessin' they aren't half as cool if they look totally different.

[Because what kinda hedgehog doesn't look like him and his uncle? Madness.]

[Voice]

[wingsandwill]

They don't speak.

[Also not blue BUT YEAH first thing's first.]

[Voice]

[waypastcool]

Yeah? Well, it's not just hedgehogs who talk on Mobius. It's like I told that stuffy guy earlier. Squirrels, foxes, rabbits... heck, even dragons and krakens talk.

[tobeanengineer]

Chilli dogs? [He is not sure he knows what those are. Also Sonic is the strangest looking hedgehog he's even seen, but Link has seen weirder]

[waypastcool]

Whoa, hold it! You mean you've never had a chili dog?

[GASP. Impossible.]

[tobeanengineer]

No? I don't think I've ever heard of them before. [Thinkity think...nope, don't think so]

[waypastcool]

Ya ever heard of hotdogs?

[Gotta start somewhere.]

[defiedhisfate]

[Oh. This is relevant to his interests...

[Not to mention incredibly irritating.]

Wait, you mean they didn't turn you into a human? That's no fair!

[waypastcool]

Might not be, but I ain't complaining.

[Though he understands it'd be upsetting to be changed so much. Really!]

[defiedhisfate]

Obviously.

This is so stupid...

[Pause.]

And what in the world is a chili dog?

[waypastcool]

Man, you don't know either?

[Tsk, tsk. Sonic shakes his head.]

Chili dogs are only the best chow around! Here, check this!

[He turns the camera to a fresh plate of 'dogs he's whipped up using the basic supplies. Canned chili, cheap hotdogs, and buns. Probably some cheese sprinkled on 'em for good measure.

...and then he scoops one up and gobbles it up like a flash. Camera's back on him.]

I'm tellin' you, they are way past cool.

[ Someone's ego is showing. Yet there's almost something invitingly familiar to it. Just reminds her of the islands. The competition between all the boys more specifically. ]

The fastest thing on two feet back in your world, huh? But what about here?

[ And yes, she's pretty much completely unfazed that you're a walking, talking three foot hedgehog, Sonic. But then she's seen weirder by this point. ]

[waypastcool]

[Well, that's a relief. Not that Sonic's too bothered by the people freaking out, but it's a whole lot easier to have someone who doesn't question his hedgehogness.

He props his head up with his hand and starts drumming his fingers against his cheek.]

Lemme put it this way. I used to be able to bust through the ol' sound barrier. Now? I'm maybe hitting 40 if I push it.

[youlazybum]

[ You have Donald and Goofy to thank for that. Although they're probably truer to their duck and dog selves. Blue hedgehogs? What?

This information at least gets a surprised blink out of Kairi. Breaking the sound barrier? That's new. Cracking a sympathetic smile. ] When you said you lost your speed, you weren't kidding. [ Still.

She leans a little closer to the watch. ] And even now, you're still faster than me! [ Her expression makes an abrupt turn for disdain, but it soon loosens, kidding. She finds herself a playful smile. ]

[waypastcool]

[Faster than her... Well, it's better than nothing. He'd sure hate being a real slow-mo. It'd make running a mondo pain!

So, heh, he'll smile back.]

That's better than nothin'. Still doesn't mean I'm happy about it, but it could be way worse.
