Blue here. One of Eggman's robots, designed to test his custom tracks for Sonic the Hedgehog. Don't worry; I'm not made for open combat, so as long as you don't threaten the Doctor, I won't threaten you.

-Red looked down at his own hands, fidgeting with them nervously, and lowering his ears. There was no function to this other than to express his emotions, something he probably shouldn’t have been feeling in the first place. Yet, he was afraid. Very afraid. An audible and metallic whine came from his mouth.-

Okay. Okay. Yeah- you talk to him- please. I…I’ll try harder! I won’t fall anymore, I swear! I can do better! 

-He looked up at Blue as he proclaimed these things. His form actually shuddered for a moment.-

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

-Blue frowned. Truth of the matter was, he was afraid, too. He didn't want to lose Red, and as was typical of him, he was protective of him -- but what could he possibly do? When they were faced with Eggman, he couldn't just say 'no, you're not going to get terminated'. This was their boss they were talking about.

He tried not to show this anxiety, though, reaching out for one of Red's hands and brushing his fingers along the back of it.-

I know you can. I'll do my best to fix this, okay?

-This was probably the most tender Blue had been with Red, but it was warranted. He wanted him to be okay. Please be okay.-

virtualhedgehogpblue replied to your post: Red, I need to talk to you.

I ended up catching wind of Boss’s reports. It’s said that you’ve fallen into pits way more than is allotted for the month. You’re in trouble.

Wh-what? Are you sure? I…I haven’t fallen that much have I?

What do you mean I’m in trouble? What’s Boss gonna do to me?

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

Apparently, you have. Especially when you were upset because of what I said that one time.

(I'm sorry) 

I don't know what Boss is going to do to you. I just thought I would warn you. I might be able to convince him not to decommission you -- and there's also the possibility he'll be preoccupied with his other plans.

-Guess who's keeping an eye on a certain interaction.-

YEAH YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO LEARN THAT QUITE OFTEN WITHIN BLUE'S AND RED'S LIVES ))

virtualhedgehogpblue and the blue wind meet!

"Hello there! Can— Whoa! Wait… You look just like me!" he hadn’t expected to see a… Clone? A copy of himself?

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

Blue had observed a rather interesting collection of reactions to him. This one was probably the most interesting of them all. He 'hmm'ed. At least he wasn't threatening to destroy him this time. "Yo. I look like you because I'm a simulator of you. Nice to meet you, Sonic."

-Shadow took a second to take the information in. “More effective death traps” raised a red flag in his head, but he listened to the rest of what the robot had to say. It seemed to be on neutral ground, just doing what it was told to by its creator.-

Hmm. I wouldn’t exactly call him my enemy. However, he becomes that whenever he threatens the planet. Which is why I would not call him my ally either. 

I suppose as long as you aren’t a direct threat to anyone I have no reason to harbor any hostility toward you either. Though I find your primary function unsettling. I understand you enjoy ‘running the tracks,’ but do you realize you are assisting the Doctor in getting closer to learning how to stop, or perhaps even kill the hero of this world?

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

-Well, that was certainly a sobering thought. Blue's expression narrowed much like the black hedgehog's in front of him.-

To some extent. I don't worry too much about it. Boss hasn't taken him out yet, has he?

Running the tracks is what I'm built for and it's what I'm best at doing. If there's a way to compromise what I do without changing my lifestyle, then I'd agree to it. But I'm dedicated to completing each and every one. It may be simple, but it's what keeps me running.

Rouge already strongly disliked this robot. She already had an assumption this is one of Eggman’s robots, seeing as that Eggman never trusts her. “Look, robot, you better actually answer my question or I’m going to tear you up!” She’s already lost her temper on this robot. Maybe it’s just a question, but I’d tear this thing up either way.

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

Blue raised an eye ridge. "If you do that, then you're not gonna get the answer you want at any time." He didn't understand why Rouge was so desperate to know, anyway. What would it matter who his creator was? "The fact that it matters that much to you makes me only all the more wary about telling you."

okay, im kind of begging you all here-- reblog this if youre 15 or older and play/love pokemon still

[bad news, guys… i think my mom might make me delete my blog(s). she thinks its bad that im 15 and still playing pokemon. and that its a huge part of my life and i really like it. it’s just like any other fandom, like death note or snk or zelda or mario or whatever. but i think she wants me to stop, and, well, that might include deleting… so please. reblog this if youre 15+ and still play/love pokemon? i need to prove to her im not alone…]

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

ordinarily wouldn't reblog this sort of thing, but this kind of flabbergasts me.

you know what your mom is too old for? telling you what you should and shouldn't like. that's the kind of thing that's behavior for the playgrounds. as you get older you honestly shouldn't care that much if people like something you don't, whatever the reason it may be. I know I'm in that boat.

I'll go right on ahead and say I'm 19, and I still fully enjoy a lot of the things that I did as a kid. if anything, my growing older has not lessened, but strengthened my interest in these things, because I'm able to look at them in perspectives I could not when I was younger. and I think that's going to continue as I grow older. the more I learn about the world and the people around me, the more I can look back on those things and seriously reflect on how they might've influenced the gaming world.

pokemon has a lot of good hidden gems and adult jokes that you wouldn't notice at a young age. the targeted demographic is indeed for kids, but kids is in the scope of everyone. all of us were kids at one point. and being outside of that target demographic is not a bad thing. learning to appreciate things in a new light that you looked at so simply as a kid is such a satisfying feeling, and I really hope your mother doesn't take that away from you.

highrankedjewelthief:

Wow, this robot knows a lot. "Oh, really now? Is that why you won’t answer my second question?" She said, unpleased.

"...It would be why I'm hesitant to, yeah." Blue scratched near his ear, not out of any actual itch but as an imitated habit from organic behavior.

-Sir? Oddly respectful for one of the Doctor’s robots.-

I prefer just “Shadow,” but you are correct. 

If you’ve no objective here, then what is your primary objective? You were created by Dr. Eggman, yes?

-Shadow had to figure out what this robot was doing here, or at least why it existed in the first place. The sight of the Doctor’s robots was usually never a good sign.-

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

That I was! I function as a Sonic Simulator-bot for him. I test the tracks that he designs for Sonic so that way he can come up with more effective death traps. Or something like that. I don't know too much about it; I just like running the tracks.

You may call me Blue. There is another Sonic Simulator-bot who looks a lot like me, but with a red sheen -- and so we call him 'Red', suitably.

My databanks indicate you're not always an enemy of Boss's, but even if you were, I hold no hostility for you.

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

i made up a holliday do you wanna hear it? its called sonic day it happens on october 2

...Sonic's birthday is on June 23rd, according to my databanks. Why make up an extra day for him?

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

Can you malfunction?

On the rare circumstance that this does happen, Boss is always prompt about fixing me.

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

Rouge was quite shocked at what she seeing. "A Robot Sonic? Wait a second..." This couldn't possibly be one of Eggman's creations, she knows Metal Sonic, and that looks nothing like Sonic. "Who created you?"

"Ah, Boss has a file on you, too. You’re from the Guardian Units of Nations, aren’t you? You’re— Rouge the Bat? One of their elite agents?

"I’m not so sure I should disclose too much information to you… Boss thinks you’re a snitch."

[virtualhedgehogpred]

What do ya mean its not a real dinosaur??

Aww…Oh, well, its still cool!

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

It's a fictional one made up for entertainment purposes.

Go ask Boss, he'll tell you.

A Sonic droid? What is your objective here?

-Don’t tell me this is a new scheme the Doctor has cooked up.-

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

I've got none, Sir.

Project Shadow, right?

 ”Heeeee—”

Wait a second. This can’t be a Sonic alternate. It’s looks just like him just half robot or something. Wait… robot? Robot Sonic? Metal Sonic!? This has got to be one of Egghead’s robots! Though he had to admit Eggman had definitely improved.

Sonic growls, readying himself to attack. Better act quickly if you don’t wanna get smashed to pieces.

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

What with Blue's previous encounters with Sonic alternates, he's not surprised when this one meets him with hostility. Unlike the others, though, he apparently drew conclusions by himself. He had to give him props for that.

He backs up a step or two as Sonic bares his fangs at him. Quite the temper this hedgehog has going for him. Still, having part of his personality himself, he's sure that the blue hedgehog isn't going to jump in haphazard.

"Hey, wait a second-- I'm not here to hurt you."

He raises his hands in surrender before the fight even begins.

[virtualhedgehogpblue-blog]

whats that thing on your head?

An antenna. Used to get signals from Boss, if he wants to send them. It can also be used to amplify our speed.
