↳ @chaossensitive asked: Blue fur contrasted just slightly against the snow covered ground. The shuffle of red sneakers and shivering blue quills came with a hearty sneeze.

“This is what you get for not bringing a jacket.”

Emerald eyes shifted to the soft sound of the striped hedgehog beside him. Another shiver and the hedgehog began to look around, wrapping his arms around himself. “How was I supposed t’ know it was gonna be this cold?”

{➹} – IT WAS HARD to be sneaky when there was snow on the ground, but never let it be said Arrow didn't try his best that afternoon. It helped he could cushion his steps with a little help from his aerokinesis but it only did so much, and he hoped his taking caution was unnecessary. Still, he could never be too sure when it came to strange, foreign energies.

Curiosity being added into the mix was the only reason he was making his way towards the odd feeling rather than away, and he wasn't sure whether to be confused or relieved when he saw the pair standing there. Figures it would be one of his alternates, but a Shadow? That was new.

It was a comfortable silence the two shared, hands working on moving dirt and watering plants in the garden the two ran on the island. The only words exchanged was Shadow guiding Knuckles' hands where they needed to be.

There was a pause in movements immediately by the two however as there was a sudden energy shift in the air. Knuckles quickly getting to his feet in alarm. "Did you feel that?"

"I did." Shadow answered. That felt a lot like a pocket of chaos energy being used, and it was not coming in the direction of the Master Emerald. "I'll go check it out, you head back to the alter to make sure no one comes for it."

"Who made you my boss? Last time I checked, I'm in charge of this island." Huffed the Echidna. He couldn't see the roll of the eyes from his companion, although he was certain it was happening. He was also certain Shadow was going to ignore him.

– @chaossensitive asked: It only took the striped hedgehog a few steps in the foliage to realize the blue hedgehog he had been following wasn’t the same one he had arrived with. With brows creased, his arms crossed. “Have you seen another you running around?”

---

he had been this close to turning around and asking, or demanding, why the other was following him. he knew from the glimpse he had caught out of the corner of his eye that it was shadow, but why the other was following them and not attacking or even throwing insults had put basswood on edge far more than an outright attack.

it was why the speedster had walked them right to the jungle, to isolation. shadow had a tendency for collateral damage once the two hedgehogs got into it. except...

❝ well that explains it, ❞ he remarked, more to himself as he looked the other over. too rugged to be his shadow, and what was with the gloves...?

Echo, like Darkflow, was broadening his horizons by traveling. This time, he was without his partner, his world's Espio. It was just him and he didn't mind it. The train ride was soothing and the food was decent. He almost fell asleep until the train came to a gradual stop.

Looking out the window across from him, he could see.... other Mobians? Was that right? How odd, and how rare, out of all the multiverses to go to, it was a parallel of his own world perhaps.

↳ @chaossensitive asked: “We were wondering if the offer to help us get one of those Warp Rings was still on the table.” Aether tilted his head slightly to the side while looking over at where his alternate was sitting. Having to always have Arrow come to get them, on top of some of their recent misadventures, was causing both hedgehogs to consider their options.

{➹} – MISMATCHED EARS TWITCHED before emerald hues looked up to his alternate, hands falling still on the strings he had been tuning which made the toddler in his lap look up at him then to the younger hedgehog. The former smiled, ruffling her bangs before addressing the subject at hand.

"Of course, though at this point we'd be better off making you two your own then finding any," he said, giving it a moments thought before shrugging. "Can't be that hard, the echidnas had them in this Zone long before I ever got mine and Kintobor already knows the plans pretty well. If we get Porker and Tekno, two of my other smarter friends, t' look things over we should be able t' knock it out easily enough.

It was definitely fun- there wasn't anyone Bless wrestled with in this form who could beat him, whether due to the size difference or just raw strength.- Even Shadow seemed to have his work cut out for him when Bless was like this, so it was enjoyable to actually have a challenge.

"You wanna win, then you better stop me!" He was having a time- fingers running up and down Aether's abs, chuckling to himself even as he struggled to regain air. The tumble into the ground had hit his old injury- pain momentarily flaring, but it had been brought about by his own dumb luck. He wouldn't let such a thing take him out of this fight, not a chance.

And yet, he was sent by the buck of hips and a slide of the arms that had him flipping over- a small distance away, narrowly avoiding hitting that spot once more. Bless was quick to get back to his feet, now actively panting. A smile was still resting on his muzzle, a few black stars dancing in the edges of his vision. Not down yet.

"Then bring it, Aether!" Could he resist meeting that howl with one of his own? No, no he could not- and it echoed, twin howls that filled the forest and made the nearby wildlife flee in a blind panic. All they knew was that a predator was near- but not what was going on. No, there wasn't a hint of recognition for the lot of them, but there was the flutter of leaves and the sound of panicked, chirping birds that nearly had Bless laughing again.

Woops.

Thank you @chaossensitive for the commission! Only these three icons will be posted to Tumblr, but a total of 3,000 were requested, from Sonic Unleashed and Shadow Generations, respectively. May the icons serve you well!

↳ @chaossensitive asked: Not one to overload a toddler with sugar, especially when they were supposed to be babysitting. Aether offered up the small bowl of ice cream to match the one in his other hand before taking a seat in their blanket fort. The view from the observation deck was always beautiful in his eyes. Seeing the planet below them, glittering with the lights of cities and towns. But nothing could compare to the stars above. The galaxies and nebulas that were clear to the naked eye with the sky so dark above them. “Well Starlet, whatcha think of the Ark. pretty cool, right?”

{➹} – THE ICE CREAM was enough, and in no time at all the toddler had taken a spoonful and stuffed it in her mouth. Seemed she may have forgotten the fact the food was cold and there were a few moments where she was not so fondly reminded of that before she opted for smaller bites. Her eyes never strayed from the wonders outside the deck, however.

Cool, barely scratched the surface.

"'S pretty." Pretty didn't quite get it either but it was as good as the girl could manage as she smiled. "Gran'pa says Lyra's name 's part of the stars back home."
