WORLD -1

[monoguests]

[...huh, didn’t you die? Well, maybe you didn’t. You might wake up feeling like you just woke up from a really vivid nightmare that you can still sort of feel the effects of or something… sure, you’re still in your old cabin, but maybe you can go out and see everyone?

...except when you go out, while it seems like the same old camp, things are a little… strange and pixelated. Also, the walls seem to have come down, but if you try to cross the barriers of where the walls were, you’ll find yourself right back at your cabin door.

Welcome to World -1, kids. You’re probably going to be here a while… and you may not actually be alone, either.]

[OOC: Welcome to the wonderful world of post-death sidequesting! "Sidequesting," you may ask? Well... you'll get an explanation soon enough.]

How am I supposed to know? I'm not an expert on Hyrulean mythology! ...Only the good bits.

[effectivefacekicking]

Only the bits that grant you ultimate wishes, huh? I guess I can't talk, I tried to use the first shard on my wings when we got it.

[eggmobile]

Typical teenager. At any rate, it looks like it's working with you.

[effectivefacekicking]

That's one outta three at least. Nothing to do but wait for the others to get up the drive to try it. Or the machine to get finished

Chop chop, by the way.

[eggmobile]

Chop chop yourself, pretty boy. I can invent far faster than any of you could ever hope to work.

[effectivefacekicking]

[Damn straight he's a pretty boy, he's the prettiest damn boy you've ever SEEN]

What work? I already did all the HARD work for you, getting those shards.

[eggmobile]

[Ashley came over to speak with Dr. Eggman but is just now kind of watching this, and is standing there blushing. This is not witty introspection. This is a thing that is actually happening.]

Ho-ho! I suppose that you're going to invent this yourself, too? You would've been made mincemeat by my machine if your friend hadn't stepped in!

[effectivefacekicking]

[he sees her and gives a little grin before turning back to Eggman]

Oh, it wouldn't have been me that woulda been minced. Trust me.

[eggmobile]

Oh, I would've been minced? Says the boy who had to cheat to get past my Tetronimo defense system! Newsflash - you're supposed to clear the blocks!

[effectivefacekicking]

...

[Well he technically cheated the FIRST shard... but he looks genuinely confused by this accusation]

What? WHY? The shard is up, I went up. That's counter intuitive, I thought you were supposed to be smart.

[eggmobile]

It's a puzzle! You clear the lines, eventually, the shard comes do- oh, pah! I doubt someone like you would understand it!

[effectivefacekicking]

... I'm a flying weapons depot. I don't usually HAVE to figure out puzzles. Either way I would have got it if you hadn't shown up.

[eggmobile]

Really? Somehow, I imagine you would've been more content punching the things away!

[effectivefacekicking]

It WOULD have been pretty satisfying.

[He punched the last puzzle okay you can't punch everything]

[eggmobile]

Ah, yes! Thank you for confirming your own lack of brainpower!

[effectivefacekicking]

[He shrugs, not seeming too concerned by the insult. He's not the brains to any set up, and he knows that. Thank his original maybe. He is what he is and proud of it]

I'm not the one that didn't think of blocking alternate ways of gaming the system.

[eggmobile]

Say what you will, but if your performance there was any indication, I'm the only one between the two of us who's actually capable of flying.

[effectivefacekicking]

...

[Oh bitch you did not. THAT actually seems to get his ire up, feathers bristling]

That's it, you don't need all your fingers to make that thing, I'm sure.

[I would say ASHLEY STOP HIM but she's probably hoping he breaks an elbow too]

[eggmobile]

Who are you going to get to make this for you, then? The boxer?

[actually terrified but NOT GONNA SHOW THAT]

[effectivefacekicking]

[He snarls... Remember, you promised Clair you'd behave, Dark Pit. You promised Callie you would keep everyone together and safe.

Damn good nature under all the underworld creature innate evil... stuff. He huffs and turns away]

That thing better work, or we're gonna have words.

[Birb out, he needs to go race go karts or something till he cools down]

[totaldrag]

[OH LOOK WHO'S THERE TO CATCH HIM ON HIS WAY OUT]

You know, I think you handled that very well.

[effectivefacekicking]

I came REALLY close to breaking his ugly nose.

[He relaxes a little now that he's away and Ashley is here, seeming to deflate a little]

I shouldn't let flying digs get me that bad, but they always do. Ugh.

[totaldrag]

But you didn't say anything about his bald head. So bonus points for you.

[She reaches out to touch his wings. It's gentle. She doesn't know if she actually likes them being touched or not.]

They're nice whether you can do that right now or not.

[effectivefacekicking]

It was pretty tempting.

[He smiles, and his wing shifts lightly under her hand, but doesn't pull away. He doesn't seem to mind it- and still connected to his body the feathers and wing under them feel much different then discarded molted feathers. Warm, and constantly slightly moving with every breath.]

[totaldrag]

Well, I mean, it was the easy dig. You could've gone for the fact that none of us have ever even seen his eyes.

[Well, good. She's going to keep doing it, then. As different it is from those discarded feathers, she doesn't seem to mind it.]
