I need to learn when Rouge's birthday is so I can get back at her for getting me whitening toothpaste.

[blackarmeclipse]

Why are humans putting protein in everything now? Why not just eat meat?

[blackarmeclipse]

Am I allowed to eat flickies?

[blackarmeclipse]

No time was wasted in taking out my kind for less, but Eggman just gets to keep trying?

[blackarmeclipse]

Sometimes I wish I had been on the Comet with my brothers when that bomb went off...

[blackarmeclipse]

Have a child who doesn't listen to you? Tell them that if they don't start listening, an alien will eat them, then pay me and I'll stare at them through their window at night like this until they do.

[blackarmeclipse]

What does an alien have to do on this planet to not get attacked on sight constantly???

[blackarmeclipse]

Why is this blue guy always picking on my brother and can I feed him to my little ones?

[blackarmeclipse]

I know I learned that not all humans are evil, I know some have helped me, and I know even G.U.N. decided to be lenient with me.

But it still upsets me that my brother's efforts are wasted on so many, are unappreciated by so many. That some of the very people he protects would turn on him without even a second thought.

He fights to give people a chance to be happy, but what about his happiness?

I must admit a morbid curiosity of old monster movies. They nearly all end in the same way: with the monster dead and the girl rescued.

[blackarmeclipse]

Go show your gratitude for my brother saving your hides multiple times by telling him to stop seeing himself as a monster.

I'm only here because both Rouge and Amy talked me into it so don't expect much. I'm also here to keep an eye on Eclipse.

[blackarmeclipse]

Hey, I don't need to be babysat or monitored!

[blackarmeclipse]

When is it going to stop snowing? The cave entrance is plugged again! I have to keep going out to fetch my Dark Arms and Crim because they keep playing in it until they can't move anymore!

[blackarmeclipse]

I am about to ask a quite pointless hypothetical. If someone who isn't you, say a random mobian, gets close enough to the Dark Arms to be able to cuddle with them without the Dark Arms purposefully trying to kill them. Would they die to them being like poisonous or not?

Sorry if it came off as weird, I was thinking cuddle how people cuddle with their chao sometimes.

That is a very odd question...

But, no, the Dark Arms are not poisonous or venomous. They're not defenseless either, though, so don't think about trying it. I am working with them to see if they can learn to use their own power which they bestow to me as the Wisps can.

I just don't want strange people thinking they can get close to them. I may realize that not everyone on this planet is as awful as I was taught, but I'm still not going to take the chance of them getting hurt.

Still, you'd actually consider cuddling them? You're not afraid or disgusted?

[blackarmeclipse]

I appreciate your existence. Platonically. You trigger my dopamine response.

Really? Well, I appreciate your appreciation. It's nice to know someone likes me.

[blackarmeclipse]

I was being pissy about Shadow in that question. I'm clarifying because I was misunderstood. Genocides, no matter who the target is, piss me off.

Yes, I know I sound like those annoying goodie-two-shoes who try to push different ideologies onto others. I'm not completely un-self aware.

Oh, I see. To be fair, my kind have committed many and I've long forgiven my brother anyway.

[blackarmeclipse]

What was Black Arms culture like? Did they have any specific culture other than just draining planets of their resources? What were the specific roles of certain types of Black Arms? It would probably be easier to answer every question I have about how exactly the Black Arms work. And probably more lucrative as well. I want everything about this civilization to be documented. A civilization that was wiped out TWICE by Shadow. I want this information to survive his attempt to wipe it all away. I find information like this entertaining and heavily important.

You're getting a bit pushy and little insulting there. Do you have to rub in our demise to one of our own like that? You're lucky I'm more than happy to share about my kind.

Being an extension of a Hive-mind's will doesn't lend much to developing culture and our only source of anything was Black Doom, who turned out to be not the shining star of our kind that he made himself out to be. What culture we had revolved around him and feeding the next generation of soldiers.

We didn't have plays or music or poetry, if that's what you mean. We had order, loyalty, a sense of purpose. All in service of someone who never actually cared about us, only used us to make himself more powerful. Ironic.

I assure you, I won't let this information disappear any time soon just as I won't let us disappear any time soon.

[blackarmeclipse]

Why does my brother put up with him?

Hold on, I need to go find a blue hedgehog and a bottle of ketchup...
