*There's a brief moment of silence, before a note appears.*
Hello. I am a friend, not here to hurt you. Who are you?
*It has a messy drawing of an eye as the signature.*
-👁
*M notices the note first, before grabbing Shadow's hand and pointing.*
Huh-?
...
Where are you then...??
...
*After a moment, another note appears.*
Do you want me to show myself?
We wouldn't mind it, if that's what you're concerned about. We're quite a strange group ourselves.
*Shadow motions to their faces especially, none having a real proper face at all.*
Yeah!
*There's a brief silence, before they appear.*
*they're a bit of an odd creature, their deep purple body covered in eyes.*
*M looks immediately interested, waving. Sabre's television screen glows gently as he looks them over. Professor Red creaks a little as he stands up, his eye examining them.*
Hello!! :D
"H-hello.." *Their voice is very soft. They seem quite timid.*
*Sabre of course is the first one to approach.*
You're a really pretty color...I'm Sabre, by the way!
*His wire-like tails swish and wag as he holds out his hand.*
"O-oh, thank you.. I am Surveil..." *They don’t take his hand, but they do look at it.*
*It's faintly metal-like, its joints are slitted and his skin is vaguely shiny. But at the same time, not..it's like flesh wrapped in tinfoil.*
Ah...neat, huh-? I still don't know how all this works really-
It's nice to meet you, Surveil.
*They very hesitantly reach out to take his hand, turning it over to examine it better.*
"N-nice to meet you, too.."
*It's not as cold as they might expect. He lets them examine it, gently flexing his hand so they can really see it in action.*
My whole body's covered like that, it's so strange. Causes a whole lotta static charge sometimes, I swear-
"It's interesting.."
*He softly laughs. M sits quietly nearby, simply watching.*
"You are nice. I like you."
*His tails wag even more.*
Awww! Thank you!!
*He points with his free hand to the others.*
The rose is M, the single eye is his uncle, (the professor I think?), and the scribble-shadow is Elite!
*They all wave.*
*they wave back.*
*M walks up to them, also letting them shake his hand if they want.*
*They do basically the same thing with M's hand as they did with Sabre's, gently examining it.*
*His hands are almost normal-ish, though one hand has vines growing out of its pale red skin, wrapping and digging under his fingertips. His whole body seems to be held up by these vines...some of which are covered in thorns. His three eyed roses blink calmly at them, fascinated by Surveil's many eyes. The vines along his hands have had their thorns carefully picked off.*
*They blink back.* "You, um.. you look very cool.. I-id that.. weird to say..?"
*He shakes his head no before giving them a thumbs up, his eyes squinting happily.*
Heh...M might not be able to speak, but he certainly does seem to like you!
"Thats.. good. I like him, too.." *They happily squint.*
*He makes a petting motion with his hands. Sabre quietly laughs, his screen glitching slightly.*
He wants to pet your head.
"o-oh! Um, go ahead!"
*M very gently gives them a pat on the head. He makes some kind of distorted noise between rustling leaves and a purr.*
*they close their eyes, leaning into the touch.*
*He continues petting them.*
*they reach up and try to pet him back*
*His petals feel a little like soft fur. His eyes close as he leans into the touch, his "purr" getting even louder. His vines wag behind him.*
"aww..."
*A few vines wrap around them, before he suddenly pulls away, looking at them with fear...*
M, it's alright, you didn't poke them...
"Its ok, you didn’t hurt me.." *They gently reassure.*
*He nods, blinking back tears....seems he has accidentally hurt people before. He rubs his wrists as a thorn pushes its way through his skin. He flinches, quickly picking it off.*
*they take his hands, holding them so, so gently.*
*He finally just stares sadly at his strange hands. Elite sighs, sitting beside him.*
...He accidentally scratched his uncle and panicked...
*That very uncle of his also joins them, clearly not afraid.*
"Oh.. I see..."
*Prof. Red starts giving M gently scritches behind his head, which finally makes him purr a little, getting his mind off of it.*
*they gently rub M's hands*
*He softly leans into the touch a little, his viney tail calming down finally.*
*they very lightly squeeze his hands*
*He again leans into them, though still nervous.*
"you're so sweet :> "
*His eyes gently squint as Prof. Red softly pats him.*
