What is the meaning of this, Dr. Eggman? I saw your Shadow Androids outside during the 13th Hour. I thought you had discontinued them. Just what are you up to? I know you're hiding out there. Answer me!

He's ambitious. And sometimes he can be a pain. Like right now.

[resipiscent]

Heh. Well... if they're discontinued, the best thing to do would be keep destroying them, right?

[theultimateshadow]

Not if he's still building them. It's been a while since I've seen them last. That's why I assumed he had stopped making them. Clearly, I was wrong.

Have you seen them before? They would look almost exactly like me. I doubt Dr. Eggman brought out these robots just because I showed up, but I wouldn't put it past him...

[resipiscent]

I haven't, but I'll keep an eye out. It shouldn't be too hard to differentiate the scent of a robot from a biological creature, after all.

And, honestly? I'm brand new myself, but I've heard of, and seen evidence that things come with us from home.

[theultimateshadow]

What? Things that come with us from home?

[resipiscent]

There's a castle here that only appeared when people from my world came here. Stuff like that.

[theultimateshadow]

Hmm. So maybe Dr. Eggman isn't here.

Why them, of all things, if they followed me here?

[resipiscent]

That's a question I don't know the answer to. Maybe they thought it'd be nice here.

[theultimateshadow]

Hmph. They're androids. They don't think anything but what Dr. Eggman tells them to think.

[resipiscent]

I was kidding. Sorry.

[theultimateshadow]

[ Joke????????? what is joke???? humor??????? Shadow does nt understand ???????? ]

Hmph.

[resipiscent]

Heh. I'm Riku, by the way.

[theultimateshadow]

I'm Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog. I'm the world's ultimate life form.

[ And don't you forget it!

And if you do he'll remind you he likes saying it a lot. ]

[resipiscent]

This world's, or yours?

[Bit full of himself, huh?]

[theultimateshadow]

Of any world's, I'll bet.

[ He's like a stuffed crust pizza full of Shadows. ]

[resipiscent]

That's a pretty bold claim.

[theultimateshadow]

I have yet to encounter a more superior being.

[ There are however beings that manage to best him battle and races, but we don't like to talk about blue hedgehogs. ]

[resipiscent]

Well, good for you. I hope that means you'd be good in a fight if something happened?

[You're lucky Riku A) doesn't know about that and B) isn't great friends with Shadow yet, because he'd tease him relentlessly.]

[theultimateshadow]

Naturally.

[ He's gotten over his WAH I AM BUT A WEAPON phase so you won't be hearing any of that from him. ]

[resipiscent]

Good stuff. I mean, this place seems pretty tame compared to what I'm used to, but...

[Good for him!]

[theultimateshadow]

Tame, huh? Makes you wonder just why the people here can't fight their own battles.

[resipiscent]

Well... it's not really that. It's more that I just came from... well, it was a torture facility, really.

[ooc: he's a game transplant from a_facility. : ) ]

[theultimateshadow]

I see.

I still don't understand why the gods of this world felt the need to drag outsiders into their war.

[ If the implication here is that Riku was better off in his torture facility... Well, Shadow's not known for being considerate. ]

[resipiscent]

I'd rather be fighting someone else's war here than dead there.

[Well, there're worse implications.]

[theultimateshadow]

Suit yourself.

[resipiscent]

You'd rather just be dead?

[theultimateshadow]

That wasn't a concern in my world.

[ Says the character who'd be dead if it weren't for fan demand. ]

[resipiscent]

No, but I'm asking, if it were.

[theultimateshadow]

It wouldn't matter.

[resipiscent]

Okay. Well, that's fine for you, but that's not how I see it.

[theultimateshadow]

[ Shadow doesn't say anything, but he doesn't look too impressed. ]
