Everyone do me a solid and pretend I did this like a month ago, okay? lol shh it's fine don't worry about it

Anyway, hey! The name's Sonic, and I definitely haven't been slacking off on learning crazy season powers stuff ever since I first got here (Summer ftw btw). Except that's sort of exactly what I've been doing, BUT I'm trying to make up for it now! Admittedly I'm kinda terrible at it though hahaa.

So! Is there a trick? Am I supposed to be high fiving people more? I know there's that whole touch thing going on, you need to fist bump someone every couple days or something, or you... what, turn into a statue or whatever? I don't remember, probably should have paid better attention lol

Anyway, tips and tricks welcome! It would be pretty cool to be able to explode through a giant robot while on fire.

[look it's hard to remember to meet your touch quota when you're too busy exploring to think about it, okay? (basically he's doomed it's fine.)

[[ooc: i apped in and then life immediately kicked me in the nards BUT I'M HERE NOW and i've collected my nards, 3 2 1 let's jam]]

[ ...They have no idea what a hedgehog is, but seems legit. Nenonen perks up. ]

Oh! Is that me? I am Nenonen, and I am here to see someone break-dancing. I am quite proficient at first aid, so please do not worry. My husband is a doctor.

[spinsandneedles]

[they're about to get a crash course in hedgehog. Kind of. Sonic's maybe not the best example for the average hedgehog?]

Oh yeah? Normally if I get hurt doing something stupid I just walk it off, but it sounds like I won't have to hold back this time!

[No Sonic having someone around that knows first aid does NOT mean 'try harder to get hurt'. It's fine, he's probably joking.]

[essenceborn]

[ SONIC PLS...

Nen looks confident enough in his bravado, and between Shigeru and Oryou it's...it's fine. Probably. They have people they can call if the talking blue hedgehog does something at break-dance speed (har har). ]

Please go all-out. I will observe your dancing to the best of my ability and see if it will produce any results.

[spinsandneedles]

[And finger-guns!]

Now, full disclosure, I'm not a professional. I just do this for funsies. You kinda sling yourself a round a lot, so it helps to be in pretty good shape.

[but talking is boring, so Sonic will move on to demonstrating pretty quickly. Enjoy watching a weird little blue hedgehog spinning and flipping himself around on the ground like an absolute maniac. Maybe some randos can join in, we'll make a party out of it.]

[essenceborn]

[ "Funsies"...that's a new word! Nenonen will file that one away for later. Right now it's DANCE TIME and heck if they aren't going to be impressed. They've seen something close to break dancing at the original 'dance to discover your seasonal magic' sessions the guild held all those months ago, but that doesn't hold a candle to what Sonic does.

YOU MAY JOKE but a crowd will totally gather once people see him really go at it. Nen's the first observer of several that make their way over. ]

Dunk... You are incredible!

[ They've never seen anything move like that before. ]

[spinsandneedles]

Thanks! Glad to see I'm not too out of practice!

[sonic can't tell if this is making him feel more ~magical~ or anything, but he is totally in his element right now. Showing off, having fun, maybe teaching people how to spin on their heads or something. One guy's doing the worm? There's a bigger crowd gathering outside the cafe than Sonic expected to draw, but maybe it'll be good for business? Everybody wins!]

[essenceborn]

I do not think you need practice at all. You a "professional."

[ As far as Nen's concerned anyway. Hope he doesn't mind if they take out their phone to try (and fail) to record a video? They're only going to wind up with a few blurry blue photos that honestly make Sonic look more like a cryptid than a break-dancer, but--

Hm. No magic yet, huh? Maybe they'll need to try another approach. After the impromptu dance party. ]

[spinsandneedles]

Hah! You should see me when I'm in top form!

[ok fine he can't help but brag a bit, shhh. Also, Sonic is totally fine with photos! Honestly though he basically is a cryptid so the blurry photos totally track.

Sonic may have forgotten about the whole magic thing and gotten totally distracted by the dancing part. He'll totally need a reminder. Eventually the random dance session slows down and the crowd starts to thin. Plans to do this again in the future have totally been made.]

So! That's breakdancing, more or less.

[essenceborn]

[ The Blue Blur now joining the ranks of Ellipsa's strange and mysterious creatures. Also: Sonic gets an applause for his demonstration!! Nen is incredibly impressed, even if there was no magic to be seen. They got to experience and see something new! That's more than enough for them. ]

You did it, and you did not break anything at all! I am impressed. The name does not make sense, but you are incredible, Sonic. I cannot move like that, or for that long at all.

[spinsandneedles]

Admittedly, I'm not totally sure why they call it that? Feels appropriate, though!

[unleash him in a china shop and tell him to breakdance, then we'll really see how appropriate it is.]

All it takes is practice and a little endurance, both things you can build up over time! It might take a little while to get you into shape, but you could totally do it some day if you wanted.

[essenceborn]

You think so? I had to practice for two months before I could walk to the store on my own...

[ But maybe if they really try...? It could be possible! (Maybe in like. years.) But they're still going to work toward better physical fitness regardless. ]

Oh! Did you feel any magic while you were dancing?

[spinsandneedles]

Maybe it took a while, but it sounds like you still nailed it!

[Oooh yeah, magic is a thing. Sonic looks himself over for a moment.]

Uhhh. Y'know, I was distracted by the dancing thing? Maybe I missed it?

[essenceborn]

I don't think I saw any magic... But I also do not remember all the summer powers. I think it has fire though.

Did you get warm when you were dancing?

[ That's a normal reaction to doing exercise though Nen-- ]

[spinsandneedles]

Well, maybe just a little bit? It wasn't that much of a workout.

[Yeah Sonic's not associating it with magic at all, he's just a fast boy that likes dancing!]

[essenceborn]

[ He's One Fast Cat like the running wheel!! ]

Hmm... Let's see. Perhaps there are internal temperature changes.

[ Nen will reach out to feel his...forehead? Head? If he lets them, just to check to see if they can feel anything unusual about his temperature. ]

[spinsandneedles]

[He lets them feel his forehead, no biggie. For all he knows, they probably know what they're talking about.

He feels pretty normal? As normal as a bigass hedgehog can anyway.]

Like a fever? Is that a thing?

[essenceborn]

I do not know. I have not learned much about powers from seasons that are not my own... I am not very strong, and my world did not have any magic. I had so much to learn when I arrived that I have neglected to adequately study other magics.

I do not think you have a fever though. You are not too warm.

[ They know more about Essenceborn and human biology than cat bigass hedgehog biology mind you, but surely they can't be that different!! ]

Maybe we should light something on fire.

[spinsandneedles]

[Sonic feels fine, mostly he's just confused. He gets over it real quick when Nen suggests arson. I mean just lighting something on fire.]

Sure! I can at least get a little flame going. Maybe we shouldn't do it around other people, just in case?

[essenceborn]

Oh...that is a true. I did not bring my fire extinguisher today.

[ Nen tends to carry one around with them most days on account of a very...excitable former-resident of the apartments exploding their own room the one time. ]

The guilds have practice areas. I think those will be suitable.
