@STATION--SQUARE: Semi-selective, OC & crossover & duplicate friendly — multi-muse for characters from Sonic The Hedgehog based on game canon, slightly influenced by headcanons. Not spoiler free.

I block personals.

NAVIGATION: RULES & MUSE LIST / MEMES & STARTERS (both are always open!) / THREAD TRACKER

“I get around.” He answered, “It’s a long story. You were there for part of it, but… eh… timelines and all.”

His eyes darted back to the silver hedgehog, swaying and clearly fighting to stay awake. He moved quickly, dashing over to steady the time traveler,

“Easy, there, Ven! Looks like you’re more exhausted than I thought… I guess your powers do take a heavy mental toll, though. Okay. Come on. Let’s get you to my workshop.”

[station--square]

Silver leaned against the other for support. He wanted to ask what the other hedgehog called him ( because he wasn't sure if it was another language, or if the other had mistaken him for someone else ), but all that would come out of his mouth was incoherent mumbling.

He was silent the rest of the trek there; his eyes would become half-lidded, then alert again periodically — keeping him awake. Which, Silver knew, in this situation he was sort of being unreasonably stubborn — forcing himself to do that. If the other was telling the truth — which was a little hard to doubt, but still, caution had never failed him — then things would turn out alright, and he could let himself rest early. But caution was survival, and he was reluctant to let go of it. Even in the past.

Once they entered the workshop, Silver's eyes immediately began darting around. He couldn't use his powers in an emergency at the moment, so if he was wrong — two things: weapon, and quick-exit. It was clear he didn't need to look very hard for either of those options. Knowing that, he relaxed.

[the-blankest-slate]

Hours? Cutting it close this time, then. Usually Silver gave a lot more grace period before his warnings needed to be acted on. And he certainly didn’t seem like he was in any shape to actually fight, himself. Sure, he wasn’t in any danger of falling over dead, but he needed rest more than he seemed willing to admit.

“No, not that way, just… look, follow me. You need to rest, and I can get… well, I can at least get Tails to come by and help. But if you really don’t have time for even that… then, well, you’re gonna have to trust me. And judging by the look of you… you don’t have a lot of choice…”

Would it be better to let Silver rest and then talk to him as Gadget? More familiar faces might help put him at ease when he wakes up… but it would probably lead to more questions than answers. For now, best to just re-orient the time traveler, and bring him somewhere safe. The Workshop. Seemed he was using it for everything but work these days, but it was all he had.

He had a much more larger time-frame than a few hours ( like a week ), but if he could act immediately — he would. The future was a never-ending nightmare filled with agonized screams. Silver clenched his fists. He would go to any length to stop it, cost be damned.

Oh. Silver pivoted, and became attached to the other hedgehog's side — letting him lead the way. Wherever that was. ( Silver knew to be cautious, he wasn't stupid. For... a very long time, he couldn't afford to be. But it was exactly like the other had said; he didn't have much of a — wait. )

❝ How'd y' know...? ❞ he trailed off, focus shifting to staying conscious and walking. Black dotted his vision. Did adrenaline fade that quickly? He should've been fine for at least an hour, right? He didn't think he pushed himself that far.

Whatever the case, he couldn't pass out. Not until he was certain of his safety.

WATCH OUT! / @tellescope

The city had CRUMBLED at the lightest touch; it was HILARIOUS! As he reveled in the screams that alit the dreary place, in the corner of his eye, he saw the glint of something metallic — someone he didn't expect to be foolish enough to get so close while so unprotected. IT WAS OUT OF CHARACTER.

With the force of a missle, the golden light slammed into the Eggmobile — sending both of them crashing into the road. ❝ I'VE NEVER KNOWN YOU TO BE IDIOTIC. What's wrong? Havin' a bad day? ❞

Then he squinted. He bared his sharp canines, growling. What a disappointment. He jumped to conclusions; he mistook a fan for the real deal, which would've been unfortunate — only the doctor would've been able to survive what nearly came next; like a damn cockroach.

His annoyance quickly morphed into amusement, he had the damn thing under his FOOT. ❝ How pathetic. How many of his footsteps have you followed naively? ❞

[station--square]

❝ If I made an indestructible time capsule, and set it to automatically open 200 years later, would Silver get the message? I really need him for Sonic's birthday... ❞

{➹} – "CALL IT A wild guess." It wasn't at all, just an educated one. Nevermind the other was, obviously, an alternate, but there weren't any other blue hedgehogs on Mobius. Period. Arrow was the only one, which was another matter entirely.

As for the request, he had to give it an honest thought. Then another before he shrugged. It was a bit of a weighted question in that Zone.

"Depends on the sort you're looking for. If you're talking running through lava fields or causing, then outrunning, say, an avalanche, then yes. If you're leaning more towards defeating hordes of robots or other machines, no. We're fresh out."

[station--square]

Sonic waited with bated breath for his counterpart's answer.

... He was only a little disappointed at the shrug.

Wait, fresh outta robots? Eggman's been defeated in this world? ❝ Really? ❞ That got his ears perked up. Nevermind the cheap thrills the other hedgehog mentioned, there was a tale to be told — and he was quickly seated. Not quite what he was originally searching for, but he wasn't complaining.

Sonic placed his hands on his hips, and leaned in slightly. If he could've pulled up a chair, he would've. ❝ How'd that happen? ❞

[station--square]

what tragedy are you?

Metal / Doomed from the start

there was no way of winning, and you knew it too. but you still tried. you tried again and again and again to change it. you fought tooth and claw to change your fate, but she cannot be easily manipulated. it’s not your fault. the game was always rigged against you. from the moment you entered the narrative, your fate was sealed. you didn’t stand a chance.

Silver / Written in the stars

it had to end this way. we all know it. only you were unaware. you had hope. hope, of course, only makes it hurt all the more. we all knew you would look back, oh love, there’s no other version of the story. and yet, alongside you, we still had hope. we believed in you, even though we knew you couldn’t win. and you believed in yourself till the last moment. it isn’t fair, is it? you didn’t know you were doomed.

tagging: You!

[station--square]

what color is your aura?

Silver / Wine

plums, nail polish, planners, theaters, pursed lips, mosaics, sewing thread. your essence is wine: you are ruled by determination to bring your grand vision to life. you are a pillar of your chosen family; reliable and moral, there is never a situation for which you are not prepared. you are an idealist and accept nothing less of yourself. you are the activist. you are the dutiful. you find kinship in like-minded individuals of amaranth, pearl, grey, and pink, who share your need to devote to a cause. you are also drawn to the expressive orchid and mauve, who will help you grow and learn it is okay to not live up to expectation. however, you may struggle to get along with the excessive personalities of jade and fire who do not know what they truly want.
