Sure, there could be a way out.

The question is, where does it lead? For all we know, it might not even be home, right? It could be some place worse than here~

Just a thought. ♥

I certainly hope not. I don't want to get home.

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming it's not so great?

[so-many-needs.livejournal.com]

When I left, my base of operations was gettin' attacked by the military.

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

The military, huh? It figures~

[so-many-needs.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. So, you ready?

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

Just give me a minute or two~ ♥

[so-many-needs.livejournal.com]

Alright. I certainly hope I don't disappoint.

[OOC: Do you have an AIM contact? I didn't see one listed for Rouge.]

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Normally I do, but my computer's being kind of super lame right now. Do you have MSN? .3.;; ]

[so-many-needs.livejournal.com]

[OOC: I just made one! mjsalucci@yahoo.com]

[blazeofblue.livejournal.com]

Or it could be completely up to the person to think about it. Like with Chaos Control

[Rouge;]

You're probably the worst person to ask, but meh [gone]

By the way, did you manage to get here with a Chaos Emerald?

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't that be convenient?

[Sonic]

Maybe.

Did you?

[blazeofblue.livejournal.com]

I know right? There's no way the castle would let that happen.

[Rouge;]

That's not an answer to my question.

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

So my theory may not be too far off, huh?

[Sonic]

Well that's no fun~

...

I had one with me when it happened.

[blazeofblue.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know, never got home.

[Rouge;]

But is it here?

[long pause] I have one and so does the other guy, but I haven't heard from him lately so...

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

...Exactly how long have you been here, Sonic?

[Sonic]

Yes. It's mine, and I'm taking extremely good care of it!!

...That's a fair portion of the set here, isn't it?

[blazeofblue.livejournal.com]

Nine months and counting...

[wait for it...]

IT'S SO BORING HERE, ROUGE!!! THE SCENERY'S ALWAYS THE SAME, THE CASTLE'S ALWAYS THE SAME, THE TOWN'S ALWAYS THE SAME AND I SWEAR THIS PLACE'S BOUNDARIES ARE STUCK ON INFINITE LOOP! I mean...

WHO PASSES THE SAME TREE A MILLION TIMES WHEN GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE?!

Sure, the random zombies showing up is fun, and so was the robot invasion and jungle takeover but really? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH

[cough] I'm good.

[Rouge;]

Just wondering.

It does look like that, doesn't it?

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

[LONG, LONG, AWKWARD PAUSE]













...Are you sure?

[Sonic]

That's just a teeny bit concerning, considering how much trouble these things tend to cause.

[blazeofblue.livejournal.com]

[where Sonic waves it off]

Yea, it's been a while since I got to talk to someone who knows what I mean when I say "ARK" or "GUN". [if the sound of wilting could be recorded...]

[Rouge;]

Well yea. But no one knows about them, and the only other person here not from our world is a good friend of mine who wouldn't use it for anything. So we're good.

... Then again, you would probably just steal the thing back.

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

I'll say. Personally, I'm glad to be away from that; at least for now. The follow up for the ARK case has been-- well, I won't bore you with details...

[Sonic]

Am I getting that predictable?

I wonder, though... if there are three Emeralds here, what about the ones back home?

[blazeofblue.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't even ask. I'm so glad I don't have to worry about paper work.

[Rouge;]

Nah, but I think Knuckles' paranoia might be affecting me. [laugh]

That was actually what I wanted to ask, but if you were from a few weeks after ARK and I've been here nine months... Obviously there's something up with time.

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

You seem to have endless free time. ♥

[Sonic]

Honestly~ He makes it sound sooo much worse than it is. ♥

There's the off chance that if somebody returns home, it'll be like no time passed at all. But that sounds too cliche... doesn't it?

[blazeofblue.livejournal.com]

It'd be nice if the place would let me explore more that just the forest and town outside. I seriously think this is the longest I've ever spent in one location.

[Rouge;]

Well, you did try to steal his sole reason for existing. I mean, I was no where near it and he attacked me.

Just a bit. But imagine how creepy it'd be if time kept moving and you weren't there, or worse, another version of you was there!

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

That's odd. The scenery seems to go out much farther than just that... Well, Maybe one of the resident evil geniuses will build a nice base for you to cause havoc in, hm? [a laugh]

[Sonic]
... Poor boy needs a hobby. Badly.

...Ugh!! That would be terrible... is this the way you feel about being impersonated? It's ... upsetting!!

[blazeofblue.livejournal.com]

I think it's painted.

Man, that'd be great. I haven't crashed a base forever!

[Rouge;]

[lol]

Yea, then couple it with the impersonation trying to kill you... Or it's actions landing you in jail - Why does everyone keep confusing me for Shadow anyway? I mean, different personality, colouring, hair style, blah blah...

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

I wonder if anyone could be convinced to build one.

[Sonic]

That's... a good question, really. People don't seem to be very observant, do they? They see a fast-moving hedgehog and automatically assume it's you?

[crazyclowngirl.livejournal.com]

You have got to be kidding me.

Worse than here?

Nothing can be worse than here.

Trust me on that one.

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

Come now, it can't be that bad, can it?

[crazyclowngirl.livejournal.com]

Blood on the walls sometimes, weird people, missing people, crazy people.

Stupid stalkers that don't know how to leave you alone.

It's enough to drive a poor girl insane!

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

Darling, it sounds like you've been perfectly miserable! Something ought to be done.

[crazyclowngirl.livejournal.com]

Well...I haven't been completely miserable.

Sure this place is like a golden Hell but there's free clothes!

And the stalkers should be all gone so a girl can have some time to relax!

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

I have to agree, the free clothing is a nice plus. ♥

Who're these stalkers I'm hearing about? Sounds like a pain~

[crazyclowngirl.livejournal.com]

Huge pain.

Some jerks from back home seemed to have ended up here a month or so ago.

They wouldn't even let me go shopping for my babies in peace.

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

Hmph, how rude~

D'you think if you went with someone, a group perhaps, they'd leave you alone for a bit?

[triggerbound.livejournal.com]

Well that would be a shitty, wouldn't it?

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

If you want to put it that way, yes.

[triggerbound.livejournal.com]

Wonder why no one's thought of that one before.

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they have, and just tried to keep it out of mind, since everyone seems to hate this place enough already~

[paranoidstork.livejournal.com]

... I don't think I've ever heard that idea before. Why didn't I think of it?

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

Don't know, hon; Why didn't you?

[paranoidstork.livejournal.com]

I must be slipping

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Anyway, do you think it's at all credible~?

[paranoidstork.livejournal.com]

Of course! Who KNOWS if people go back home? When they come back here, they can't remember anything anyway!

I may never get home again! Eaugh!

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

But if they don't go home, where do they go? Somewhere better? Somewhere worse?

Hee hee~

[paranoidstork.livejournal.com]

Who knows where they go? There seem to be infinite worlds... how can the Castle know how to send them home to the right places? And the right time?

Eeeugh.. what if you ended up a hundred years in the past or future?

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

Mmm, yes. The last thing anyone would want would be to get stuck in a time paradox.

It's a messy business, isn't it? Makes you wonder, that's for sure.

[purple-bo.livejournal.com]

Tisk, tisk, dude.

[paranoidstork.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I am so off my game.

Eaugh... what else have I failed to notice? There could be an outbreak of fungal tuberculosis and I would be totally UNAWARE!

[purple-bo.livejournal.com]

Not to mention the blood fever.

[paranoidstork.livejournal.com]
