Son- er, Blue (why did that feel better to use? Maybe he just had issues..) was doing what he normally did, staying out of the doctor’s way and all that, when he stumbled into a part of the jungle he… didn’t really recognize. That was… strange in and of itself, he recognized every bit of the jungle, and despite his many flaws his memory of it was pretty good. But apparently he hadn’t been to this bit before..? That… was a bit scary. Maybe he should just turn around…

Unbeknownst to him there was another presence in the area, one that had undoubtedly heard his louder-than-usual walking around. And maybe a little bit of the slight muttering he’d been doing. No one was usually around to hear, after all… - @former-hero

The Overlander balks at the sight of perhaps the most cruelly misshapen blue hedgehog he has ever seen: with something between grim sympathy and bemusement. Sonic had better show a little compassion for this poor bloke, if ever they meet; Snively knows more than a little bit about being an outsider.

He lowers the laser pistol affixed to and protruding from a digital wristwatch. It descends back into its compartment and out of sight.

"....you, my friend, are very lost," comes a nasal monotone, and a single high huff of laughter, as he crabwalks cautiously closer.

[former-hero]

The hedgehog squeaks as he notices the other, turning around with a more than terrified expression.

His ears flick down and he shrinks in on himself. “I- I-” He takes a step back, somehow seeming to shrink even further. Oh no- was he not supposed to be here? He didn’t know! “I didn’t m-mean- I can- I can l-leave-!” Something about humans made him nervous, more than other species anyways. Probably just the lingering fear from the doctor’s… presence.

"I should. probably warn you about something, Uhhh, You're gonna be running into a lot more people now. Most of em are gonna be nice, though. Just wanted to give ya a heads up."

They casually float in a relaxed position... upside down. why they do that.

-Guilt

“O-oh..” That was… concerning. And also kind of scary. But at least some of them would be nice, so… could be worse?

He craned his neck a bit to look up at them, slightly confused. He guessed if they didn’t really need to use normal gravity they probably wouldn’t bother?

Oh my god there is a little guy in green hill zone. He looks stressed. And really dirty, has this guy ever heard of a bath?? - @former-hero

Amanda was just kinda vibing with her siblings the two Sonics, they were just walking along when Sonic kinda just pulls on her dress.

"Hm? What's up Sonic?"

"Look over there-" He whispers softly to her, Amanda looking over as Sink lightly sits up from his spot on her back. Amanda blinks.

"Uh hey! Are you ok over there?"

[former-hero]

Amanda who had been paying attention the whole time walks a bit closer with a bag and... just sticks her hand in. Bruh she just pulled out a whole tupperware of fruit salad whadda fuck madam.

Blue perked up quite a bit at that. Fruit! He liked fruit, nice food type. He is leaning towards her in an excited way.

[former-hero]

He takes a moment to wipe his eyes, trying not to full out start sobbing. That would be embarrassing.

"Heh this is- getting depressing real fast.... sorry."

Phonic slowly slinks off Amanda's back, nearly falling but catching himself.

"But uh- why do you ask about the doctor?"

He flinched. “Um- n-no- no reason.” He is looking Anywhere but at them, his eyes flicking about nervously.

[trippled-the-trouble]

"D-did.... did he h u r t you?" Sonic takes a step closer to the other, concern in his eyes. Had they all suffered in some shape or form? That was unfair....

Phonic frowns.

"You don't have to tell us if you don't want to..."

[former-hero]

He froze, eyes pointed firmly at the ground. He- should he, but what if the doctor- mmmh… He gave a tiny nod, tearing up a little.

[trippled-the-trouble]

Sonic grits his teeth. He always knew the doctor was bad and the doctor had hurt him many times sure but- this one seemed so sad like... like Eggman took everything from him. Without much thought he just brings the other into a hug.

[former-hero]

His breath hitched as they hugged him, but he quickly melted into it, hugging them back and letting out a small whimper.

[trippled-the-trouble]

Sonic gently rubs the other's back with a soft sigh. He wasn't really sure what the other needed to hear but he could tell they needed this at least.

[former-hero]

He took a few deep breaths, in and out, and his body slowly relaxed. He was still clinging onto them though. Lil dude needs the comfort.

[trippled-the-trouble]

Phonic skitters closer and joins the hug. Although compared to Sonic he's a bit more.... cold.

Sonic on the other hand just keeps the hugga going. He needed this too tbh and while Amanda also gives hug- he still needs a lot more-

[former-hero]

After quite a while of hugging he finally steps away, still standing basically right next to them but still- Hug has been disengaged. For now. “Th.. thanks.” A tiny lil smile from he.

[trippled-the-trouble]

"Course... you looked like you really needed it."

Phonic nods as Amanda just, watches with a soft smile on her face. Children,,,,, she want adopt the he-

[former-hero]

“S-still.” He likes these guys. They’re nice, and they don’t expect him to be… like he used to. “So, um.. if there’s a bunch of other sonics wouldn’t it get kinda confusing..?” Should he use a nickname?

[trippled-the-trouble]

"Oh yeah uh-"

"I just go by Phonic. Which is... very funny due to the rhyming."

"Although now that there are 3 of us.... u h"

[former-hero]

“Y-you can call me Blue then!” The other deserved the name more really. He wasn’t a coward. B-besides, they kind of liked Blue, it reminded them of blueberries, and they liked those. Yeah, focus on that part.

[trippled-the-trouble]

"Ah! Well nice to meet you then, Blue." Sonic gives a friendly smile, Phonic nodding in agreement with the other's statement.

"Uh. So- are you hungry? Our si- f r i e n d has some snacks on her."

Sonic stares at Phonic blankly.

[former-hero]

Nickname acquired! His ear flicked as he mulled over the offer, a small smile on his face. “That would be nice, y-yeah!”

[former-hero]

The hedgehog squeaked, eyes widening as he noticed the trio. He stumbled backwards a bit out of sheer shock. Who were they- why did they look like him?! Was… no it couldn’t be, they didn’t look robotic at all. But- but- how?! “I- Um- I-” He stammered, too off kilter to actually speak coherently.

[trippled-the-trouble]

Amanda seemed dumbfounded while Phonic tilts his head, looking down at their Sonic, and he makes a head tilt as if to say he should maybe get closer. Sonic nods and takes a few steps.

"Hey? Uh- you good? Take your time, we ain't gonna rush ya pal."

Sink nods.

"Mhm. Just us and we mean nor harm."

[former-hero]

He nodded timidly and took a few breaths, steadying himself. “U-um.. wh- who are..?” He still had a bit of trouble but at least they could probably understand what he meant.

[trippled-the-trouble]

Sonic takes a moment to process before softly clicking his tongue. Phonic perking up as well.

"Ah. I see. First time in the multiverse?"

"To put it in simple terms. Me, you, and the one on her shoulders are all alternate versions of one another."

[former-hero]

He nodded, blinking slowly at the explanation. “O-oh.” That made sense. He had heard.. h-he heard Tails talk about something like that a few times. He wonders if they… No, not important. “Does.. does that mean there’s an alternate of the doctor too?” He asked, a bit of a waver to his voice. He looked… nervous.

[trippled-the-trouble]

Phonic nods.

"Well at least there.... should be.... actually hey Sonic?"

Sonic on the other hand seems to have spaced out, if his expression is anything to go by.

"Th-the doctor.... y-yeah there.... there was. N-Not anymore..."

"Sonic you good?"

"There isn't anyone else anymore....."

[former-hero]

He frowned softly, anxiety momentarily forgotten out of concern. “I… I’m sorry.” Did he say something wrong? They looked… not good. He shuffled ever so slightly closer.

[trippled-the-trouble]

They blink, realizing what was happening and that imposter wasn't h e r e. It was... ok somewhat.

"N-no you're fine, haha.... I-I haven't really talked about... the incident s-since it's so... fresh."

[former-hero]

“I-It’s ok. I get it.” The last part was whispered, barely audible. He… didn’t really know where to go from there. He hadn’t talked to someone else who could actually talk back in quite a while. They started to fidget with their hands a bit.

[former-hero]

They make themself visible, peeking around a tree.

"Uh- h e l l o there-"

-guilt

Sonic jolted, his eyes immediately flicking to them. He swallowed and took a step back. “H-hello..”
