Update, I'm not sure if you've heard from your Tails yet or not. Fem Sonic has made it home and is with the baby. Fem Shadow is still on Angel Island with the others. She will recover, but she hasn't woken yet... I know communication can be temperamental at the best of times between worlds. But you guys might want to reach out, I think she needs a friend right now... I don't think she's going to reach out by herself right now.

.... She started crying at the end of the last post... 😔

… I know what you’re feeling right now. I know how scary it is, thinking you’re gonna lose your Shadow, wondering if you’d even be able to make it without them…

I-I know I can make it. But I don’t want to. I don’t wanna be strong. I don’t wanna do this without her?

You won’t have to. She’s strong. She’ll be back with you soon.

That’s right. You’ll have the whole family together before you know it.

I hope you’re right.

We are.

Hey, do you want us to take the twins for a bit? Or at least, hang around so you can get some rest? I usually gotta sleep for 72 hours after any traumatic event.

Hah… maybe…

You’re surrounded by friends that want to help. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

I know. Thanks…

Shadow, you don't have to do a vampire costume. You could always do a simple black dress with bell sleeves and then just do accessories. I do agree that they can over sexualize costumes for adults, heck even some kids... But you do what you are comfortable with, if it's a spooky sweatshirt and comfy bottoms? Rock it! If you want to go crazy? all the more to ya. 😊

I was… persuaded to join.

Thanks for the apples! Whaddaya say, kids?

Digadee!

Tigodee!

Heheh. Close enough. Trick or treat!

Infin- shit, Sonic please be careful around him. I have a really bad feeling about all of this. Jet if you are there, as much as I hate to ask, keep an outside eye on everything.

I wish I could explain why, but... It's just... I can't okay? I know it's hard to trust strangers. Trust in Shadow, trust Jet but do not trust Infinite. Don't be alone with him.

*Sonic comes very close to running into a lamppost before Jet grabs him by the back of his hoodie and pulls him out of the way*

Hellooo? Earth to Sonic??

Huh??? Sorry, zoned out. Whoops!

...... You still worried about that Zero guy?

Infinite. He changed his name.

Pft. Okay. Can't decide if that's more edgy or less.

People are telling me not to be alone with him... Like he's actually dangerous or something.

D'ya think he is?

I dunno. But if he is, it's Shadow we should be worried about, right?

Hmmmm. Maybe he wants ya outta the picture so he can have Shadow all to 'imself.

But why? It's not like I'm in the way of that!

Well, you 'n' Shadow are close. Real close.

We're friends! We've been through some shit together?

Hey, hey, I'm not askin' you to explain yourselves. Just sayin'. Maybe he thinks you take up too much space in Shadow's life.

*Sonic gasps* You're saying my ass is big?!

*Jet snorts and shoves him* I was bein' serious for once!!! But yeah, it kinda is.

Woooooow. Is that why I keep beating you? 'cause you wanna watch my butt—

Yeah, obviously. But shut up!! Stay on topic!

Don't wanna. Topic scares me.

Hey, nothin's gonna happen to ya on my watch.

But Shadow...

I'll put out some feathers, see if anybody knows anythin' about this Infinite guy. Okay?

Thanks, Jet. You're the best.

I know!!

... Shadow, how are you feeling?

You... Don't look the greatest and I don't mean like, put together.. I'm really concerned. I know Tails is currently doing a million things right now.. But has your choas energy been checked recently?... I... Feel like somethings wrong..

Unfortunately, this is… to be expected. And it’s going to get a lot worse.

My Chaos Energy will drop to critically low levels. As it is, I can’t walk unaided. I don’t have the strength to hold my children. Thinking is… foggy. It’s hard to concentrate.

But… I just have to hold on.

Wish I could do something…

You do plenty.

How's it going over there? Is she finally resting?

Well, she’s not resting enough, but she’s doing better!

Ehh, the house is… moderately baby proofed. But Sonic didn’t want us taking the twins away.

Think she wants to keep her family together, in case Shadow wakes up.

[askthehedgehogs]

Yeah.. The baby is here, but they had to rush fem Shadow to the Master Emerald. Her chaos energy ran dry after the baby arrived. Still no updates on how it happened other than no surgery was required. But due to her running dry she... Basically started crashing from my general understanding. I hope this makes sense from an outside perspective.. Otherwise there hasn't been any updates from anyone on their team since.

Oh… shit.

…… she’ll be fine. She’s a Shadow. We’re resilient.

Yeah… sure hope so.

Shadow, when was the last time you had your inhibitors adjusted? 🤔 Wondering if they could be exacerbateing your issues if they're out of tune.

I believe Ivo has his grandfathers notes on other Shadow. Maria might for you as well. But I highly doubt either of you want to go down that route unless things get a lot worse. Just food for thought, that's all. 😅

My Limiters are new. The fox made them based on the originals, with the help of plans recovered by Rouge. They should still be working just fine.

But… Sonic did trick me into letting Tails take my Chaos Energy readings last week when we collected Nova’s rings, under the guise of calibrating them for Nova…

Let’s see if I can explain this.

The Limiters–or Inhibitors, as the other Shadow calls them–are named misleadingly. They do not tamper with the levels of Chaos Energy in my body. Instead, they help to distribute Chaos Energy evenly throughout my body by encouraging the flow to my extremities. Otherwise, the energy pools in my core, becoming volatile, and the rest of my body weakens. This is fine in extreme situations where I need to remove the rings temporarily for a concentrated use of Chaos Energy, but is dangerous the rest of the time.

According to Tails’ readings, the rings are not technically faulty, but they’re not as effective as they used to be.

She wants to adjust them, but… Nova is going to need new rings every month or so. I’ve told her to prioritise Nova.

Tails! Theoretically could other Shadow use chaos control on the baby? His Chaos manipulation capabilities is quite high, I'm not sure how his abilities compare to your Sonics and Shadows Chaos abilities. But I figured I'd throw this idea out there, because it has been asked in regards to the twins abilities.

I wish it were that simple.

Chaos Control gives off a lot of energy. Sonic and Shadow can take it, usually, but a baby, or Shadow in this state… it’s way too risky for both of them.

I was hoping we could use the Chaos Emeralds from the boys’ universe, but they’ve only managed to get their hands on one since they scattered after the last time they went Super, and when I tested it, the results were… bad. The energies aren’t compatible.

I’ll save them both. I promise. I just need everything to go off without a hitch.
