"Is it really THAT unbelievable that I could just guess where to find you? I mean yeah this place is hidden but not that well hidden..." Dan would find himself finding it difficult not to chortle at his own humour, while the realms were often different it was always convenient when some shared similarities. It was great for guessing locations.....not so much for the people who saw an unfamiliar face just arriving.

The attitude probably wasn't doing him any favours with the ones cautiously interrogating him either. "If I were here to cause trouble don't you think I'd already be doing it?"

The demon-hog glances over at one of the other's at his side. "Now how about you do me a small favour and stop pointing that wispon at me, we both know you are not going to use it." A hint of warning in his tone despite the fact he was the one being checked, though as he looked back, his eyes caught sight of someone in the surroundings of the Freedom Fighter's HQ, two particular individuals not too far off that immediately grabbed his focus.

"̷D̷a̸m̶n̸,̶ ̵t̶h̸a̷t̵ ̵s̶t̵i̵l̶l̴ ̸h̸u̴r̵t̵s̸.̸.̵.̷.̸.̸I̸'̸m̶ ̷o̶k̶,̶ ̵n̶o̷ ̵n̷e̵e̵d̵ ̷t̵o̴ ̴p̸a̵n̷i̶c̸ ̸I̸'̵m̷ ̵s̵t̸i̸l̸l̵ ̸m̵e̷.̶ ̶I̵ ̷j̵u̴s̷t̶.̶.̸.̸.̶n̵e̸e̵d̴e̸d̵ ̶t̷o̷ ̸l̴e̴t̵ ̵l̷o̸o̴s̶e̵ ̶a̵ ̵l̷i̵t̸t̷l̴e̸.̶"̴

If Dan looked unusual to others before, in a semi transformed state he'd only appear even more freaky. Even if all the demon-hog now currently resembling a monster, more so than a hedgehog was doing nothing but sitting down.

"I've been thinking, those chaos emeralds are apart of their respective worlds right? So if hypothetically someone were too say....grab a hold of them and then move them onto another alternative world."

"Would that mean there would two groupings of seven chaos emeralds that could be utilized the same way? Or would they reject each other? Maybe even strengthen one another? Or could it even just result in the non native group losing their power altogether and being useless?"

THUD!

The sound of a sudden, harsh impact shortly followed by a groan and the following whines would be heard nearby.

"Oh, not this again! Eugh, It's getting really old."

"Yup, that's probably gonna be sore later."

For Dan, seems he had been not so graciously thrown into another misadventure in a place he had little clue about. It sure didn't match what he was more familiar with that was for certain as azure eyes scanned his surroundings curiously.

Still it could be worse.....

After taking a few additional moments to wipe himself clean of any dirt to the best of his ability. "At least no one was watching that." He muses before noting a figure nearby assumedly fully witness to his prior meeting with the hard ground. "I stand corrected...." Another groan before attempting to address them.

'I can't believe I never thought of doing something like this until now' The demon-hog inwardly thought as he chortled away to himself after another 'win' in his latest idea for a time waster but also just a bit of fun. Between the war in the shadows and visiting friends, sometimes doing something of little to no value was worth it to just relax.

But if it also got a little training of a sort and made him more visible to the regular public without freaking them out, all the better!

Having settled himself down on the side of a mainway street, Dan was currently sat holding several small rings in his grip before evenly placing them out along a makeshift table, the unusual thing about the rings themselves were that they were completely black, practically matching the state of his fur and quills without the inherent shine that most have. "So, who's next? Anyone think they can guess which one of these is the fake one?" As his azure eyes scan around to see who might be interested, there's a certain figure that catches his eye, a certain two tailed fox which almost immediately makes him grin on recognising them. What were the odds?

"Glad to see you got out of that mess at least." A voice would speak up nearby, one that probably was familiar and not well received considering who it was aimed at. The demon-hog had noticed a face and whilst he knew kind words were probably next to null.....at the very least he never really had any ill will towards them even if they really had been a bother at the time.

"I don't expect forgiveness or anything along those lines but I would like to just reiterate, it was nothing personal against you."
