I can no longer go to linked Tumblr posts in any form because this is not a functioning website. >:( Please make sure to tag me in all things related to me. Thanks.
Edit: I have to use DuckDuckGo now just to view Tumblr links. If anyone knows a way I can view Tumblr links on Chrome again I'd be thankful.
do i owe any threads? i havent had much activity in a while :(
"Well if you want to go elsewhere, nothing is stopping you, I personally don't have a choice I have a job to do." Initially responding casually as he kept his act going that he was just another normal visitor.
However after double checking the words he'd just heard in his head...this person knew the multiverse too? Ok that did make things a little easier in the long run.
"I'd be careful about stating things like that in an open public area. Talking about multiverse existence like that usually gets people in a panic or they call you crazy, sometimes both." Dan would caution, having had too much experience on that front.
"Oh? What job, if you don't mind my asking. Perhaps I could help." He replied, tilting his head.
"Oh, should I? I guess it never occurred to me that other worlds might not know about the multiverse." He then wondered why the train stopped here of all places, if most people didn't know. He hoped it would come back.
{➹} – A SMALL 'AH' left the hedgehog at that. One sound that said he knew what the other meant, could even sympathize with them to an extent. He knew the thrill of wanting an adventure, of something different from the norm. His younger years had been marked by such a desire.
"'M not much of a tour guide, but I'll do my best," there was humor in his voice as they started walking along the stony ground. It was hot where they were but the hero didn't seem bothered by it at all, nor did he seem all that concerned about the trickles of magma or red hot pits that they passed.
"I'll start by saying that Mobius isn't all that great at naming things. 'S a bit of a theme, really, but we're in Under Ground right now. 'S one of the old railways, but more a tourist town at this point." It had an age to it that the hero always thought was fascinating, but he would pause the history lesson for something more commonplace, looking at the other with a smile.
"I'm Sonic, by the way."
"Oh, I'm sure you'll be just fine at it." Echo lightly teased, grinning. Echo was a little bothered by the magma- not by the heat, but just by the proximity to such a dangerous substance.
"Oh, my Mobius isn't good at naming things either." He nodded. "We've got an Under Ground too."
"Echo. Nice to meet you." He nodded a second time.
i'm back, i kinda forgot about this, i wasn't feeling good. still not.
{➹} – WITH THE IMMEDIATE trouble avoided the hedgehog had clearly relaxed, giving the other a quick look over. His smile never faded, but there a touch of curiosity about him. He assumed the other was a lizard of sorts, but something about them also seemed off. Not that the hero was one to talk. He was the only blue hedgehog on his entire planet.
"Here? Safe is pretty hard t' find, but not impossible. We'll just have t' make our way t' the town a few miles from here," he made it sound easy, and Arrow knew that, but still wanted to get one point across. "It's getting there that might be...interesting."
They were basically underground at the moment, and would have to keep on the current path to get there. On the way? There were a few more hazards to look out for.
"Well, 'interesting' is kinda what I signed up for. My own life is a little dull so I've gone... exploring. Travelling." Previous encounters had made him wary of explaining that he was multiverse bound right off the bat.
"So, why don't you uh, tell me about this place as we go on?" His eyes were easily adjusted to any darkness of the setting, since they were underground. Any trace amount of light would be enough for him to see.
"And maybe even a bit about yourself? If you want to, of course." He offered. "I could also tell you about myself."
Other than the thread by rxbelling-hxrald, I think I haveeverything? Please let me know if I missed our thread or if I missed an IM or something, please. It's been too quiet these past few days.
"I can't comment on it accurately really." Came the answer from the dark one who they'd asked, a little surprised at the query but choosing to act casual on it as if he were simply another visitor. "I'm not from here either but I am here to check that stuff out."
Dan knew full well what these voices were coming from, but telling the 'locals' such things was rarely a good idea without causing more panic in the long run, he'd just wait until the right time to find the source and nip the issue in the bud before it worsened.
Though that was going to be much more difficult than usual considering the apparent attention towards it. "My honest opinion, would be to just ignore it and move on, I'm sure there's far better locations nearby that don't have these unusual rumours and tones."
"Sides, you don't strike me as a lunatic or whatever, so I think your sanity is just fine." Adding that last part on in a light attempt of humour to ease the mood from the topic.
"Oh, well... I figured you were from here. But neither am I, I'm visiting multiverse locations." He explained.
"Should we leave for elsewhere? If you know of any good places I'd love to see them. Provided I can get back here to wait for the train when it's time to leave."
When the other made the joke, he chuckled softly. Yes, it was a good way to ease the mood.
While the trio of young Sidhe were keeping the birdman busy in the only way they knew how, the rest had run for the town just beyond the ridge of the fishery.
Feral panic was a powerful thing, and rippling through the pools of the hivemind, it made it all the moreso to those in flight. It caused them to not look around as one might expect, to not realize that for hunting Harpies, there was only one on the beach and none in the surrounding foliage waiting for those who would stray from the main crowd. A blessing in disguise, as they all made it into town in one piece and caught the mind of their Imperial and her guard.
As it coincided, the high summer Ring Run was happening. Luckily, this was one of the islands on the Ring that had its own springs, a network of fine rivers across its surface that only needed permission on inspection to be redirected to where it needed to be. Up on the opposite side of the hills and fields that sheltered the coastal town were the terraces for the rice paddies and beyond that, orchard sprawl. Already, teams from the Engineering Corps were on their way to manipulate the labyrinthine gates of the waterways redirected specifically for agricultural purposes and keep the fields and orchards watered in the high summer months.
Fariah felt them long before she heard them. A ripple of anxiety that was steadily becoming harder to ignore pinging intrusively into her own emotional pool. While she was capable of shaking off the lingering effects of it, however, the common populace of town were showing similar agitation. Their eyes glazing over as the emotion not their own began to root in them and the darting of scared looks as the frightened workers poured in.
">>Harpies! Harpies at the fishery!<<"
A mingling of confusion rippled the hive then at the announcement, slowly overtaking the fear that had once dominated it. Harpies at this time of the year? Even waywards tended to arrive closer to the monsoon seasons, either before or after, and there hadn't been any sight of them coming in from the sky.
Fariah looked over her left shoulder as the second wave hit, her ears pinning to her head at it. Standing just behind her, her eyes fell on Markesh, her ever-present Regent when away from the throne.
">>Markesh.<<" A pointed statement of his name to catch his attention, continuing once he straightened up to show she had it, ">>What are the chances we are dealing with Harpies.<<"
Markesh made a thoughtful noise in his throat. ">>Unlikely. Harpies are rarely in this area at this time of the year.<<" he shrugged, receiving a slow nod from his Imperial at it.
">>But, they are storm spirits, wind.<<" she sighed, starting off toward the coasts and the fishery in question. ">>That makes them unpredictable. I cannot take the chance that it may or may not be a problem.<<"
">>Shall I send for the Hunter Corps?<<"
">>Yes, please do. Better safe than sorry.<<"
A short exchange, Markesh turning to address the guard with them to summon for the necessary division before falling in step with his Imperial on her way out. A few of the local populace made the attempt to pick up tools or something that could be used as weapons, assured and told to stay behind by Markesh and the remaining guard who followed them. There was no need to get innocent people involved in what little politics were involved with Harpies, all that would do was give them something to snack on if things went awry. With promises that all would be taken care of as necessary, the begrudging militia was sent back to wait for results.
A small division of the local Hunter Corps had merged with them as they crested the packed dirt road that lead to the fishery, filtering out of the tropical jungles that pushed in from either side to fall in step with the party. They could be mistaken for her usual escort, as they were dressed like Imperial Guard, but with the braided gold ropes off epaulets to show their expertise. Markesh was quick to fill them in on the situation, and relay their confusion to Fariah when they told him they hadn't noticed any of the sinister birds in the area thus far.
">>Either way, we are dealing with something that has frightened my people, and I would like to put to rest whatever that is. In whatever way it sees fit.<<" she told him, receiving an accepting wobble of his head in response. ">>It is good information, however. I will keep it in mind during negotiations.<<"
If it was Harpies, there would be negotiations. Males were not so difficult to deter and shoo off, despite still being significantly larger than the average Sidhe. If it were the females, however, it would take nuance and a good handle on the surrounding area to avoid a fight.
As it turned out, it was neither of them.
Passing through the processing plant and onto the beach beyond revealed the situation for what it was. Three young pups were huddled together in the middle of the beach, trying continuously to compliment the creature of their distress nearby. What Fariah had expected to be perhaps a massive brown and drab green lump of feathers or an even more massive splendidly-hued beast of teeth and fiery eyes turned out to be something that could be described as neither a Harpy nor a man.
">>Even fledglings are bigger than this...<<" she muttered under her breath, but she wasn't going to admonish anyone for doing what they were told and taught and drilled.
Had it actually been one of the nefarious Storm Spirits, the children would have been doing well. She wasn't in the rights to tell them what they were doing now was wrong, it would keep them alive long enough in other situations. A pair of the Hunters were signaled to retrieve the trio, which they did with only slight apprehension, and knowing the others behind them were watching.
An ear ticked in the direction of the children as they were lead back, babbling on about how the creature spoke in weird languages and wouldn't react the way they thought it should. Another point of interest, it seemed. The Empress focused her gaze on it once the children were brought back into the packed safety of the guards to either side of her, sitting rather miserably by itself at the other end of the beach.
">>You. What are you doing here.<<"
A smooth and rich tone of voice, projected with the push of authority. There was little emotion in it, the mask of a politician dropped into place. She wasn't entirely sure what she was dealing with, it was best to wipe all emotion from her interactions until then. At least it didn't appear to be hostile.
After, of course, she had made the creature speak. The report of it not speaking a known language made it easier for her to make it talk to her in its own tongues. From there, either her or Markesh could devise an easier way to communicate.
Artice kept trying to tell the three young ones that he couldn't understand them, but since they couldn't understand him, he was making no headway. He sighed- this was going to be difficult, wasn't it? Just as he was thinking about leaving so as not to frighten them further, he heard someone muttering in a foreign language under her breath.
Whipping his head around, his green eyes met hers. She looked important- had they brought out their leader to kill him? Surely not, right? A leader wasn't needed for that. So then why...?
Though he couldn't understand, he stayed sitting on the ground to appear nonthreatening. Artice could, however, pick up on the authority in her voice. Yep, definitely important.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand. I come in peace, I'm just an explorer but I can leave if my presence is unwanted!" He said, getting worried as she looked at him, imagining her gaze boring a hole through his skull. No emotion, all business. He couldn't be more opposite as his fear and anxiety mounted in the situation.

If rings had been an issue, the pair would have helped. It was just what they did, but Harmony looked at her father. The way he shrugged a shoulder was enough for her as she put a finger to her lip in thought.
“Well there’s the shoppe near the university that sells a bunch o’ stuff tourists usually buy…” More than once the teen had stopped there for some of the souvenirs she had on display in her room. “And there’s plenty o’ stuff in the market where my dad and I were headin’.”
“You’re welcome t’ walk with us.” As long as they weren’t out all day, Volt was fine with it. He wanted to get home at a decent enough time to start dinner for himself and his daughter and that was it. There were no reservations for that night and the few who were staying were out and about themselves.
"Both sound nice, I'll have to take a look." She replied, nodding in agreement. "But I think things that tourists don't usually buy might be more... interesting?" She shrugged. "I don't wanna just be another tourist, y'know?"
She perked up as she was offered the spot. "That also sounds nice, I'd love to." She said, falling into step with them.
“Well you’re not wrong.” This was a different universe. That much was clear to the hero the moment the other had mentioned how they had gotten there. Plus, the whole no dragons in the world. At least that he knew of and he’d traveled pretty much everywhere at this point. But rather than dwell on it, there was a shrug of tan shoulders as he let his hands fall to his side.
“Kinda depends on what ya want to see.” Mobius had plenty of sights and Sonic had seen a good portion of them. Most were a simple jog to the speedster, but something told him that might not be the case for the dragon beside him.
“Right now, we’re in Mystic Ruins. There’s the Chao Garden, Tails’ Workshop, and a bunch of hiking trails in the jungles and mountains. If we grab the train.” One finger was gestured to the sign above his head labeled [Station Square]. “That’ll take us back to the city where there’s an amusement park, a casino, another Chao Garden, and a beach. Not to mention Station Square is the train hub so ya can grab others to places like Westopolis, Empire City, and a few others.”
Was he acting like a bit of a tour guide? Sure, but that never stopped him before. Clearly, the other had no idea what was around, and he didn’t have any plans. Beyond grabbing food when he got back into the city.
"Yeah, that much is apparent." He nodded. They were in agreement then: Echo was a visitor to this universe. Successful mission! Now came the hard part: what to see first?
"Well, assuming having me tag along won't be a bother, I'd like to see the city, and compare and contrast how it matches up to my home city, at least as a start. Also, I've got to warn you, but as you probably know, I'm not as fast as you if you're as fast as my world's Sonic. But I can run and fly at a pretty good speed, so I won't be a bog to travel with.
Food was also on his mind- he'd decided to skip the lunch offered on Artice's train in favour of trying whatever was here.
Far more used to those traveling the multiverse, the question wasn't that out of the ordinary for either hybrid. Once Volt was sure that the woman wouldn't fall, he reached into one of his larger pouches to pull out some of the variety of currency.
"Depends on who ya buy from. Mobians will usually use Mobiums, Rings, or barter." The first two mentioned items were pointed to with a finger, while the teenager showed the third.
In the form of a crystal bead bracelet.
"The Overlanders and Humans around here will sometimes take Rings and Mobiums, but they also use their own currency that I don't have."
"The guy at the stall was usin' Mobiums, but I didn't look at the price." Harmony ducked her head until her father put a hand on her shoulder. They'd figure it out. "Whatcha tryin' t' buy Miss? We might be able t' help ya look."
"Oh, thank goodness. I have enough rings to get by," She didn't want to admit she was wealthy to strangers, "but not much else."
She nodded along, pretending that she knew what Overlanders were, or Mobiums.
"Oh, I just wanted to walk away from this little excursion with at least one trinket, to remember this place by. You know, something that's interesting but that I don't really need."

There had been an unusual trail of echoes and whispers heard lately, initially passed off as just common sounds when it came to the night life. But how did that be the case when it was in the middle of the day and there was no one in sight? The rumours of ghosts and the like would spring up soon enough in the area leading to a number of individuals trying to investigate it, either just being believers or others just plain curious about the unusual circumstances.
Even as technology was brought in to investigate, the tones were still heard yet nothing indicating a real presence. In time with no clear cut answer apparently possible most would give up and take their leave but the rumours would continue to spread and linger and rather some people wanted to be involved or not, apparently just passing by was enough to bring them into it as one such soul would soon hear a hushed voice speaking in the air.
'Will you come to me? I need help, please. Its all dark....'
But then so would another soon after.
'Leave here....get away now! before its too late!'
and another.....
'Just accept the gift, trust me, it'll be better soon.'
Was this someone playing tricks? Or were the unusual stories not only true? but were becoming more active?
Echo had arrived not long before on the train. he'd been travelling a lot lately, and this was his latest in a string of travel locations.
He was not ignorant to the voices, but tried to ignore them. In his mind, the more attention you gave something, the more real it became. The more dangerous, too.
He was so focused on ignoring the voices that he didn't notice the other until he bumped into him.
"Oh- apologies. I'm new around here.... are there always voices? Or have I gone insane?"
There could have been a number of reasons they had drawn attention. The hero standing at the station tended to always draw someone's gaze. He could hear a few whispers from some asking what Sonic the hedgehog was doing waiting for a train, but he ignored them to instead give a nod.
"Depends on the food." Clearly the speedster had a one track mind at times when it came to ways of travel. Decent food meant he was willing to sit and eat it while enjoying the scenery. Crappy food and he'd just use his own two legs to get where he needed to.
"Just goes to show that no two worlds are alike. What are ya doing here though? There's not a lot to see here in Mystic Ruins. Unless you're after the Chao Gardens..."
Echo laughed, "I get you, I really do. The food is good, but with room for improvement in my opinion. I don't usually trust anything but fresh sushi but they have it good when they serve it." He explained.
"Well... I don't know, I heard the name and it rung a bell, so I went and saw Mobians and realized this place might be an alternate universe of some kind, and wanted to explore. However, if you've got a shortcut to a more interesting place, I'd be down for that."
Sonic was a figure in his world, and a hero, but not incredibly well-known. Certainly not in the city-like Metropolis Zone where he lived. So Echo didn't really know anything about him.
