👮‍♀️?

🫶 How do they handle physical touch?

I think that Team Dark is pretty casual with physical touch, depending on the context of that touch! For example: you can easily find Shadow and Rouge sitting on Omega's shoulders or Rouge with her arm around Shadow whilst talking to someone.

I think that Rouge is the one to initiate touch the most, with Omega being the second most (I believe he's pretty conscious of how easily he can hurt someone, so he reserves his initiations more than Rouge), and Shadow the least. This isn't to say that Shadow is uncomfortable with touch from the others. He's just less likely to go looking for it.

However, when Shadow does go looking for touch, the others know it's important because I think he initiates it during stressful or emotional moments. This is where I think Rouge feels somewhat awkward because emotional vulnerability isn't her strongest element. Perhaps she wonders if someone else is better in her shoes. Then, it's a fascinating concept for Shadow to be seeking emotional warmth from a cold, killer robot. It doesn't matter to Shadow that Omega feels cold to the touch because they both understand the care they have for each other runs much deeper than physical temperature.

Oh, also, I think that Omega doesn't really need physical touch, logically, because he's a robot. Though he knows, through observations, that these sorts of things are important to the team as it showcases solidarity and loyalty in a subtle way.

👮‍♀️ Who has the longest criminal record? What are the highlights?

Unfortunately, I don't have as much to say on this one compared to the other question, whoops!

I'd have to go with the obvious answer and say Omega because there’s no way he hasn't destroyed property that cost a billion, or more, just for the fun of it. Omega fun!!! ^_^

Rouge is better at not being caught, so her criminal records aren't nearly as long, in comparison to Omega, of course. Not to mention, she, typically, works for the government or whoever can pay her well. I can only assume that those hiring her can cover any of her criminal tracks if it is for their own bidding. However, if she does something for herself, then she's on her own.

Oh, wait, I wonder if Shadow or Omega can even be considered to have a criminal record because they're technically listed as government property/living weapons? But, anyway!

ik when i was growing up, the whole idea that girls love romance and crushes and boys and whatever was soooooo prevalent, so i could definitely see her internalising that and thinking that she has a quota to fill. everyone else is doing that, so i should join in, right? (amy voice) sonic is a hero that saved me, so clearly he and i were meant to be, yaaaay ^_^ that's how the story is supposed to go!!
