The sharp remark makes her posture stiffen up, another aggravated noise threatening to sneak out, though she manages to hold it back. If she were trying to speak quieter rather than it just being her natural tone as formed by her experiences, she probably would’ve been trying even harder now.

“There’s some differences. A different coat, a pair of goggles…taller than you, I think.” She actually couldn’t be certain there was a difference without seeing them next to each other. It was mostly just a petty jab- she wasn’t usually the type for such comments, but his presence here had gotten her into that sort of mood.

“Nothing major is different, though. Still an evil scientist. Has that oversized mustache. Arrogant, hotheaded…wants to rule the world.” Her fingers balled into fists for just a moment, frustration eating away inside her. Best not to let this one know just how close he’d come to succeeding multiple times…and what all she’d lost because of him. With a slow breath, she gathers herself and adds one final remark, sure to grate on his nerves at least once more. “But is always stopped in the end. By Sonic and his allies.”

     Must be his future self after all, the man mused. She did look quite a bit more like the handful of the other Sonic’s friends he had a glimpse of— all of whom he’s mostly forgotten about by now. But he wasn’t about to tell the other that.

He was asking the questions after all, not answering them.

“Yeah, sure, always stopped by Sonic, whatever. Still, he sounds like a wonderful man. Shame he hasn’t apparently conquered the world yet— must be going senile,” Eggman exclaims, muttering that last part aloud as the eyes behind his pince-nez roll. He’d stop pacing, and gaze down at the girl while stroking his mustache. It didn’t bother him too much knowing his older self was failing some more. Didn’t inspire confidence either, but they weren’t his current self’s mistakes, after all. 

And maybe, if he knew about more of his future failures now, then...

“So, what was his latest scheme to fail? If you’re so giddy to rub it in my face, I’m sure you’d be happy to give me the details, hmmm? Go on, then.”

     “Well! If it isn’t the good doctor himself!”

Or at least, a version of Doctor Eggman. He remembers this one, back from when he met his alternate… past? self. He was still trying to make sense of that whole situation, but he does remember this guy fairly well! A slight tapping of his foot with a grin on his face. Poor Eggman, this Sonic was much more talkative ( and probably much more annoying thanks to that ) than the one he knew.

     “Guess you’re trapped in here with the rest of us! Must be hard      not having your fancy gadgets with ya, huh?”

[eggmaniac]

     Ever the unwelcome sight— it didn’t matter what Sonic that stood in his way, because that pointy blue visage always aggravated him regardless. Nearly dropping the grocery bag in his hand as the other announced his presence, he would turn.

“And if it isn’t the blue rodent that always gets in my way,” He snaps back, feeling naked without missiles to fire at the moment. “Don’t get too confident. I can build an arsenal anytime! ANYWHERE! I’ll get you yet, hedgehog! Just you wait.”

“And what about you, hmm? I know what they do to people who arrive here with special powers— you’re probably not even as fast as your younger self now,” Eggman continues, frown making way for a taunting grin. “Must be hard, huh? Ooohoohoohoo!”

[eggmaniac]

“I can’t enjoy even a semblance of peace, can I?”

[eggmaniac]

“I prefer my games of tag a bit more...”

“Explosive.”

“Just because you brutishly shoved your way in to steal what is rightfully mine, does not give you claim to this creature!” She digs her heels into the dirt, tugging on the vines.

She’s so focused on the tug-of-war that she doesn’t even register the pressure building on the cage. Her only goal is to get that damned rabbit, and show this egotistical fool who he’s messing with.

Still, he is strong. Normally this is when she’d pull out another spell, but her magical capabilities are severely limited at the moment. Damn it all…

“You know nothing of my work, Besides, if you’re so great, it shouldn’t be much of a challenge for you to capture another rabbit, correct?” With one final yank on the vines, she doesn’t notice a small crack begin to form on the side of the cage.

“GIVE! IT! TO! ME!”

“You’re just a sore loser!” At this point, the doctor wasn’t exactly paying attention to the creature he’d caught, nor the cage he captured it in— winning this sudden competition was all the more important in the moment, and he was confident he’d win.

By now, it was more a matter of principle than anything else. That, and his own hot-headedness was blinding any reason he’d have otherwise.

“Rrrgh—! It’d be easier than easy! But that’s not the point! What’s mine... is... MINE!” Eggman, with as much might as he can muster, pulls back against Lilith’s vines, yanking the cage to his chest and aside— and yet it’s at that moment where the vines, which were holding on oh-so-tightly to the bars of the cage, would cause the container to rupture, which also sent Eggman flying back.

Dropping to the ground, the rabbit would nigh-immediately hop out of the freshly-made door in it’s confinement, speeding away from the two as they recovered from the failed bout. 

“LOOK at what YOU’VE done!” The man shouts, rolling himself back and forth before using the momentum to hop back up onto his feet. “Not only did you let it get away, you ruined my cage! I could have at least crammed three more in there!” 

     In his anger, he kicks a piece of it aside.

lightoball​:

freaks? he hadn’t heard that word before. it didn’t sound all that nice either.

ϟ why would it be bad to have a shop near lots of people? you would have more nearby to come in and buy what you have. ϟ

“Gah!” He practically jumps, turning his attention to the small creature who had appeared. Just what he needed— a rodent, snooping as usual. ... At least, it looked rodent-like. Casting his gaze down at Pikachu with a look of annoyed curiosity, he’d place his hands on his hips.

“It’s not a store, it’s a workshop,” he snorts, eyes narrowed behind his pince-nez as he scrutinizes the other. Oh, how he wished he had a net right now. “Though, opening a store to spread my... er, sell my wares wouldn’t be a bad idea. ...”

“Wares that would certainly benefit little creatures like you. What even are you?”

[eggmaniac]

“Hmmm. With how many freaks they’ve got here, finding a good place to set up shop locally might be a problem,” the man grumbles to himself, looking over a map of the city.

“I’ll have to investigate that forest, but this Yesteryear seems promising. There’s always the ocean... a facility off the coast, that’s an idea...”

wolfofthewisps​:

A little more than a sentence spoken, and already that ego is seeping from his every word. He’s as insufferable as he is evil, as she’d surmised from the brief time she’d had the displeasure of being near him. Her mind flashes back to that moment of righteous fury, the sight of his face in the scope of her Wispon…

And as that face lingers in her mind’s eye…she notices it doesn’t quite match up with this one. The differences are small, but she can pick up on them. Not to mention he claims to not know who she was- even if that’s something he would do, it’d be more obvious he was pretending just to be derisive. As that fact sinks in, she begins to recall something she picked up during her time as the “Guardian Angel.” The Resistance had been sharing word about Sonic- a different Sonic. One who arrived from another dimension, similar enough to the Blue Blur they knew but not quite the same.

“…You’re not him. Not the Eggman I know.” Even if she doesn’t quite know what she would’ve done if she met her world’s Eggman- the one whose forces had taken her friends away from her, who unleashed the Metal Virus on the world- that this is a doppelganger, one who she can’t pin those actions on, seems almost unfair.

She lets out an irritated snarl- quiet, of course, but dripping with disdain. “Still too similar to him.”

     He’s insulted, for a moment, anyways. At the very notion that he somehow wasn’t the Eggman this runt knew, and also because she kept on mumbling.

Fortunately what she was saying had some interest to him, which was enough to garner his interest for the time. From the way she was scrutinizing him, she clearly recognized who he was. And yet...

“Would it kill you to speak up?” Eggman quickly snaps, hands on his hips as he looks down at the wolf with a furrowed brow and gears churning in his head. Walking to his right, the doctor began circling Whisper like a shark. “So you’re saying you know a different Eggman, eh? Intriguing. I doubt an impostor could capture my aesthetic flair— though I have had experience with another Eggman before... given our current multidimensional circumstances, you’ve piqued my interest, wolf girl.”

     He has zero regard for the other’s obvious annoyance, ignoring it as he continued speaking, before coming to a halt and smiling one of his trademark smiles. “Describe him to me.”

[wolfofthewisps]

"...So this place will just bring anyone here. No matter who it's good or bad for."

She idly tensed her hand, wanting to reach for the BB gun they'd left her. If Eggman were here now, who's to say Starline or even Mimic wouldn't be far behind...?

[eggmaniac]

“Apparently. After all, they’re throwing the somebodies like me...”

“In with the nobodies like yourself,” the doctor chortles, stroking his mustache with that usual grin of his. He had no idea who this girl was, but she certainly must have been from their world— just look at her!

“Whatever the case, you’re the first to recognize me. Consider it an honor! Not that I have any idea who you are. As always, my reputation precedes me. Hooh ho ho!”

[eggmaniac]

“I must say, living by the local college sure takes me back to my school years.”

“The undergrads here are just as dumb as the ones I remember! Oooh hoo hoo! Being a genius in a dullard’s world is never easy, I tell you.”

[eggmaniac]

     Laying down on a beach blanket with his legs crossed, Eggman was sunbathing in style— with an extra large shaved ice in one hand and a spoon in the other, he was having a nice time. A small toy and a screwdriver were set besides him in the sand, the man clearly having been working on making a toy Eggmobile similar to the one he’d been given initially.

It was a nice sunny day, so he thought he’d take some advantage of it. After all, while his plans to conquer the world would never sleep, he could at the very least take it somewhat easy now that a certain blue pincushion wasn’t out and about.

“Taking a vacation from throttling that hedgehog isn’t so bad, even if it is against my will,” the doctor muses to himself, pausing as a shadow suddenly covers him. Without looking, he quickly yell, “Hey! Watch where you’re standing you moron, I’m trying to sunbathe here— egad!”

     He nearly drops his cup of shaved ice as he turns, gasping at the sight of the large, blue penguin hovering over him.

“Wh— what do you want?!”

“You most certainly did not!” She puts her hands on her hips as she stomps over to the man, making no attempt to hide her contempt. Sure, her plans for the rabbit probably weren’t the most ‘ethical’ in the world, but that shouldn’t mean that someone should be able to swoop in and take it from her!

With a flourish, she casts ‘thorn whip’, wrapping a vine around the cage in an attempt to wrestle it back. Would it be easy enough to go find another one? Probably. But this has become a matter of pride.

“There are plenty more rabbits around here, I suggest you hand that one over and find another. I’m sure you don’t need that specific animal for your ‘glorious plans’.”

“Egad!” The man shouts in surprise at the sudden vine’s manifestation.

And though he’d step back in alarm— he wouldn’t let go of that cage, grabbing it with his spare hand now to pull it towards himself. And surprisingly, he’s putting up something of a fight.

“And I suggest you take your own advice and GO GET YOUR OWN! I grabbed it first, so it’s mine!” Eggman childishly argues back, growling down at the shorter of the two while utterly ignoring the frightened squeaks coming from that cage of his. “You’ve only yourself to blame for not acting quicker! Besides, my ingenious plans would make far better use of this specimen than whatever you plan on doing with it, I’m sure!”

“So— LET! GO!”

Tugging as hard as he can, the man pulls it forward— bringing the caged rabbit closer to him... as the metal bars began to bend from the pressure.

[eggmaniac]

     Kicking back on a beach chair in the Golden Ward, Eggman sat with his hands behind his head, brows furrowed as he looked out and beyond to the nearby ocean, and the amusement park nearby. While he wasn’t happy to have an involuntary vacation, it sure didn’t mean he couldn’t sit back and actually enjoy himself— in-between the sudden plans he had to make to conquer this place, anyways.

And though he normally preferred the company of robots, he’d managed to heckle a passing stooge to sit with him and answer his questions. Something he certainly didn’t act grateful for, but perhaps due to the warm summer sun, he came off as at least passingly decent.

“— You’ve been here that long? Yeesh. You know, I’m almost impressed with this whole little charade! ... Emphasis on almost. I'd do a far better job myself!”

“Interdimensional kidnapping aside, constructing a playground like this is child’s play for a genius such as myself,” he rambles, extending a hand to his right to grab at his nearby martini— missing twice before latching onto it with his grubby hands and bringing the bendy straw to his mouth.

Crossing his legs, he glances over at Seiichirou, grinning deviously.

“And it’d look a lot better than this, let me tell you! Oohohoho!”

[eggmaniac]

“Out of my way! I saw that first!” the large man shouts, just narrowly avoiding bowling over Lilith as he sprinted up along the grass and past her— just to quickly snatch up the small rabbit she’d been leaning down interact with before it was frightened off.

Holding it by the scruff of it’s neck as it wiggled in his grasp, Eggman toss it into the makeshift cage he’d been carrying in his other hand before throwing it’s door shut.

“Oohohoho! That’s right, little one! I’ve got big things planned for you... glorious things!” Laughing to himself as if he’d forgotten the lich was even there, after a moment, he’d abruptly turn to her with a scowl across his face. “You’re still here?”

“You snooze you lose. Go find another field to frolic in, I’m about to get busy.”

Hey.

Here’s a small rp ad! We’re capping at 3 because I can’t be bothered to do any more! For now.

[eternalrecurrxnce]

“I’m.. sorry?”

“.. this is a university. I don’t believe it has quite the facility that you’re looking for,” what a strange request, and to be asked of it by such a strange looking man– Richter couldn’t remember ever seeing him in the school before, so perhaps he was a new resident still collecting his barings. Though the half-elf recalled being rather frustrated himself after being thrown into a new environment, without the powers of weapons he was used to having.. this man spoke as though he had been targeted specifically, demanding a place where he could regain the use of his..

“I suppose you could take a walk through the engineering wing, though I’ve never seen a student build a fully functioning robot before. If those are something you’re missing, it’s likely that the ones who run this island took them from you– and there is no regaining what you’ve lost until they decide to give them back.”

                                                                      –   ☼☽;   ( @eggmaniac​​​​ )    

[eggmaniac]

     He was fortunate to find a plebian who could actually respond well to his (loud) requests— though Eggman cared little for his answers, preferring he just get moving as opposed to droning on. Clearly this was a man who knew little of his capabilities.

But oh, he’ll show them. He’ll show them just how capable he was, alright.

“Yes, well, I’m certain this university here has something of passing adequacy for me to fulfill my needs. The ineptitude of the students here hardly means a thing to me. Though maybe that’s the fault of the faculty,” he’d scoff, waving a hand dismissively.

“I don’t need to be given anything I’m missing— I’ll just build it myself! So let’s get a move on,” the man exclaims fully expecting Richter to be his guide.

“Show me to the engineering wing!”

[eggmaniac]

     Still having been under the impression that he was having a really weird dream, as Eggman took a step out of the vehicle and onto the sidewalk, it quickly dawned on him that, no, this was real. Really annoying, too.

“... Well, this puts a wrench in my schemes.”

“YOU’LL REGRET THIS, YOU HEAR ME?! NO ONE KIDNAPS DOCTOR EGGMAN AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!” He was just yelling at the dust left by the limousine at this rate— and in his rage, Eggman tossed the small toy he’d been given onto the ground, breaking it.
