"Hello, hello! This is Sonic, the Blue Blur, Blue Justice, Cobalt Lightning! Super fast hedgehog here to help! Or hang out. If there's danger, say a location and then what you can of the problem, but if you're looking to have fun, just tell me the time, place, general idea, I'm pretty open to trying out most things, especially fun thin-"

Stealing is also easy when you have superspeed and people can't see you. The problem is you steal too much and they make it harder to get to the things. Unless you can steal something out of a box that's smaller than you. Or need to search around the back of a store because they make customers bring up pieces of paper with picture of the stuff.

Yeah, that's what I think! Like they got messed up by Darkness, but Darkness is resistant to OUR stuff, but vulnerable to THEIR stuff.

There's something in there that they're leaving out.

Then you just take the whole box. It's not like we're going to steal big, expensive things. Or any more than we need. [you're too paranoid, bro] And if they make it harder, then we just get creative, right?

[it didn't make any sense. If the monsters here were only susceptible to damage from local magic, why bother bringing in outsiders? What happened to all the other magic users from this world? Were they just bringing in strangers to toss into the meat grinder?] But I'm sure if we just ask we won't get straight answers.

And that's when businesses get shut down and people lose their livelihood and then someone who has no say over us ends up on the street.

And. Living with only the bare essentials is maddening. You gotta have entertainment and nice things sometimes.

Ooooh, definitely not. I'll try asking them if I get an opportunity, but I don't have much hope.

[The trust issues. The trust issues abound.]

[he folds his ears] Why do you do that? Catastrophize. How much damage do you think two small aliens can do to the local economy, exactly?

[he taps his chin, thoughtful] They must keep records, somewhere.

[He opens mouth.]

[Closes it.]

[Clearly debating for several moments, but...well, he knew so much about Shadow. He wants Shadow to feel he can open up to him. Only fair he does the same.]

Potentially a lot? Though I guess there is a lot more people here than in Green Hills, that...shouldn't hit as hard? I think.

Its...

[He rocks back and forth on his feet. Not meeting Shadow's eyes.] I needed enough supplies to live. I needed something to take my mind off things because not enough stimulation and my brain got... [He waves a hand in the air. Dark. Grim. Depressed.] But I had to be careful what and where I took things because too much and people won't brush off as misplacing things or an accident or not something to get worked up over. And I never wanted to actually cause problems for people.

If I messed up too badly, I had to go to a mushroom world where there wasn't anything but mushrooms and even if it was safer, it was a lot more room for my brain to go all- [Another wave in the air and more rocking.] So the balance of don't get noticed, don't hurt people, make sure I'm well off enough that I can....you know. Keep going. It was a lot of math.

I really don't like math anymore.

[He laughed.] Amazing how much fighting giant robots is less stress on the brain.

[A slight pause in his rocking.] I never fully broke the habits and being here has just kind of...made them hit me with a metaphorical baseball bat. I'm hoping living with others will calm it down.

[He tilts his head.] True. We just need to find where. And...between earth and water, we should be able too get wherever it is, even if its buried.
