I'm sorry for this, and I blame the Fan Game Sonic Omens for this... but my first thought of the new character walking in was Chris Thorndyke.

... ah. don't like that.

An AU Animatic I made around the blog @myth-of-the-machine !

"So instead of facing your opponents head on in combat, you hide within your feeble machines to compensate for you lack of strength! Hmph, you Lylatians make me sick."

(Mod// yes Zavok is choosing violence today)

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip.

Smack smack. Ahhhhh.

"If that makes you sick, then tell ya what--y'ain't got a strong stomach to begin with at all. Seems like your problem is your own ego, boy. Get that checked out or you'll concern your mama."

Starter for: @universalpheonix-versusxiii

The past week had been...less than merciful to Takuto Maruki.

First, the ex-counselor had to contend with an unusually high volume of very confrontational passengers during his day shifts as a taxi driver. Second, he wound up in a rather intense argument with his roommate the other day. And lastly, his computer has been slow beyond reason since he got back.

Honestly, the Inu just wanted some moment of respite.

Too bad his circadian rhythm decided for that respite to be at his work desk while he'd been working on the computer, his head atop crossed arms. Well, at least he was home right now.

So of course fate would decide to throw one more wrench in his routine, this one in the form of an insistent pinging sound.

Ears twitching, Maruki emitted a grumble before opening his bleary eyes and lifting his head with a faint whine - only for that whine to get louder once he caught sight of the notification plastered across his screen.

Warning. Virus detected. Immediate action required.

Great. Just great. Maruki rubbed his hands into his eyes, groaning, before reaching for his mouse and dragging it so he could get his cursor over his computer's antivirus app and fix this mess.

Except the moment he double-clicked the app, the entire screen went pixelated in various shades of blue - and almost in the shape of a face?

That definitely dispelled the last bit of sleep in the Inu, who gawked at the screen in both concern and wide-eyed disbelief. He was no computer expert, but Maruki had the distinct feeling a virus shouldn't do something like this.

Maybe it'd be best to have an expert look through this? Or maybe replace this computer altogether? It was fairly old after all.

Either way, Maruki reached a finger towards the power button to be done with this.

Only for a hand to shoot out of the screen and grab him by the arm.

A scream followed.

"Sheesh, I didn't expect literal DEMONS to be here, or 'Zeti' as he calls himself. Super creepy..."

"D'oh! Right! I need to introduce myself!"

"Hey there! The name's Jett Dawson! I'm the ULTIMATE DRAG RACER!!! REE-HEE-HEE!!!"

"I'm an ACE on the track! Won a few cups! And I know my way around a car from the inside-out!!"

"Mmm let's see, what else, what else... uhh..."

"Oh right uhm... I guess I should mention my universe uh... kinda blew up. Metaphorically and literally. But hey! I'm here now, so I guess I'm still kicking, heh..."

"Hrrmm... Mod said he'd change my lore a bit though, whatever THAT means."

"Ahh I'm sure it's not important! I mean, for the most part I don't think anything's really changed about me! Guess he didn't do much of anything!"

"Okay! Well that's all I gotta say for now!! But bes believe you'll be seein' more of me, shrimps!"

"Two unfortunate souls, only wanting to help, end up dragged into an experiment they never signed up for."
