[The video is at a weird angle, as if the person (or hedgehog in this case) isn't aware they turned on video. Which is the case, Shadow was aiming for audio. Anyway, this looks like the Shadows that are here already, although he is a bit...

Scruffier? But also not as fluffy. If the video was better shot, it'd be easier to tell that he is also taller but oh well. Oh yeah, and when he finally speaks? he sounds nothing like either Shadow.]

I have a simple question for all of you here, it certainly shouldn't be too hard for even the biggest dolt to answer...

Who is the best here in your opinion?

[He has a reason for asking, but he's not going to tell.]

You’re the only person here who thinks I’m a coward. What are the odds that everyone else is wrong versus you just being an asshole?

[ikeasnob]

How many of them know you're running away?

[He may mean just from her world, but boy that could be taken differently if he knew more about her. Good thing he doesn't.]

[abnormalizes]

That I’m abandoning my world? Basically everyone I know. Do you need me to count how many that is?

[ikeasnob]

Ah, but what else are you abandoning? Cowards never just have one thing they're afraid of, after all.

[abnormalizes]

Like I told you, I’m not a coward.

[She’s afraid of losing people, afraid of getting too close, afraid of love and commitment. But also, none of that is this fucker’s business! She has trauma and she’s working on it, go fuck yourself!]

[ikeasnob]

Denial is an ugly thing, Evangeline.

[Funny that, some of that is something Shadow would know. Just he hides it by being an angry jerk.]

[abnormalizes]

[


Evangeline considers the white damage weapon in her purse. She thinks of the way it feels, that crushing certainty of your own helplessness. For the first time since breaking Porty, she considers pulling it out again.

Then she remembers that Shadow can fucking teleport and that she wouldn’t be able to do enough damage quick enough to have a satisfying effect.

Dammit.]

You don’t know anything about me.

[ikeasnob]

I don't. But I've met many cowards and fools in my life, if you don't want to be considered one?

Prove me wrong.

[Honestly he'd like to be surprised by her!

He just doesn't believe she can do it, he has previous experience in being disappointed by people he expects better from after all.]

[abnormalizes]

How am I supposed to do that if you won't let me fucking fight you?

[ikeasnob]

Apparently according to Rinku you're smart.

Figure it out, I won't fight you though.

[abnormalizes]

[...If he died he would get better. Something to keep in mind.]

I'll consider it.

[ikeasnob]

Hm, so maybe you're not a complete fool.

[At least he's not calling her a coward?]
