Video - UN: UltimateLifeform

[The video starts at the Weapon Training HQ, well outside it. Shadow adjusts his tie as he speaks. It's a nice sunny day in Sunwaning, of course. Isn't it always?]

My name is Shadow the Hedgehog, for those who do not know me. I am a combat teacher here at the Weapon Training HQ in Sunwaning. I have openings for new students at this time. I specialize in unarmed combat and improvised weapons. I also have experience in power control. I can assist with learning to control and better manipulate ones abilities that perhaps run more rampant.

If you are interested, respond to this message.

I am also seeking others to spar against. I have a dedicated sparring partner though that is the same person. Sparring with new people allow me to learn new techniques and fighting styles. If you are looking for someone new to spar with as well, respond to this message.

That is all.

[Locked to Sonic and Maria.]

Sunwaning has a number of larger houses with yards. I want to see if you both would like to look at them with me. I thought we could find one that works for all three of us. Though Sonic says he doesn't care, all three of us doing so together would be a good idea.

[Reading between the lines, he wants to spend time with them both at the same time. Shhhh.]

He is. Is he the Doctor from your world or another one? Do you happen to know?

[spinsandneedles]

I couldn't say for sure, and I don't really want to ask him if he remembers specific events. I don't want to give him any ideas to take back home with him in case he isn't my world's Eggman.

[shatteredprison]

A good idea. Hmmm. We'll wait and watch. And if he is, and starts anything like what you told me about, we will stop him before he can truly begin. Together.

[spinsandneedles]

Together. Without killing him, preferably. That's the one hill I'm willing to die on.

[shatteredprison]

Yes. Without killing him. I am well aware you won't agree to that. And I'll hold back.

Besides. There are other things I can do to deter the Doctor that don't include killing him, if needed.

[spinsandneedles]

[GOD it's so good to have a Shadow that respects Sonic's aversion to killing Eggman, even when he does deserve it.]

I might be okay with maiming, depending on the severity of the offense.

Thanks, though. I appreciate it.

[shatteredprison]

[Shadow is going to respect the no killing rule. It matters to Sonic and that now matters to Shadow. As much as he will forever refuse to say it out loud to the blue hedgehog. He nods.]

I am thinking, if it comes to it, a bullet to the kneecap. I hear that is a good deterrent.

You're welcome, Sonic.

[spinsandneedles]

Oof, brutal.

Anyway, just give me a shout when you're ready to go look at houses.
