[ @speedsternomore​​ || Replied for a Mephiles starter!]

What was he meant to do? Sit there? Do nothing? Mephiles had no intent.

He had been walking through the shopping district of Sanden, a few goods in hand. It was nice to see the city’s trade thriving, and he had been more than happy to purchase a few... Luxuries, he supposed they were, as opposed to sticking with the usual breads and fruit spreads. However, as he had come to the end of his trip, one arm filled with bags, he had spotted something in a nearby alley- spotted, and sensed.

With groceries in hand, he dared to step into the alley, closer to the form within. He couldn’t quite recognize it yet, but...

↳ @speedsternomore​ asked: "ARROW! ARROW! please let me in!" Storm had no idea how he found the other hedgehog home but it was storming and he was so frightened by the thunder that he was shaking violently even as he knocked on the door as hard as he could. A loud clap had the child sobbing his eyes out.

                                                              —————

   {➹} – IN ALL TRUTH, it wasn’t that hard to find where the hero lived. One of the many downsides to being famous was that privacy was a scarce thing at best. Add in the fact the hero had moved in with his girlfriend (also quite famous) and the couple were rather used to people invading their comfort zones. Plus there was the fact that, should anyone be sensitive to Chaos Energy, the hero was a very literal beacon of it.

    Still, guests that late at night were a rarity and it was why, from their living room where they had been watching a movie, Arrow and Mina had exchanged glances when the knocking – pounding, really – started. Both were equally confused but it hadn’t taken more than a moment for the hero to recognize the voice on the other side of the door, and even less time for him to get up and open it, the mongoose watching curiously from the couch.

"Nice to see you again, Storm." Right on time. Luna had just finished pouring herself a cup of coffee. She'd 'sensed' the young hedgehog would drop by for something; though she was unclear on what, and had prepared her drink ahead of time.

Beautiful dreamer, her faithful orchid, had settled itself down for the evening, curled around inside an ornate, porcelain bowl filled with earth and water. It snored softly.

The hedgehog squealed in happiness running up to try and hug his grandfather his tail was going back and forth so much it was blurring. “ Grandpa I’m a big boy today and I get to spend my birthday with you which is the bestest!” Storm couldn’t remember a time when he celebrated his birthday until last year atleast. “What that behind you grandpa? another project? do you need help?”

Julius grinned. He didn’t want to hide it from Storm all day, of course, but he couldn’t just reveal it at the start!

[ @speedsternomore || Sought Mecha Knuckles.]

It had been a rather quiet day in the city... Mecha had no clue why he’d truly been summoned. He hadn’t seen any fights taking place... He noticed an underlying current of nervousness echoing through the crowds, the familiar expressions and body movements like life-giving energy to his circuits. His yellow optics rolled through, listing off each name, each address internally even as he continued to walk.

The sun glimmered off freshly-hewn stones as he stepped down the market street. Stalls were bustling with activity, residents trading goods with one another. Even though it had been a few years, the new world still had yet to work out a currency. Something that was left up to Taid and Tails, not him or Metal.

That was when he heard it- cables stiffening, limbs pausing for a second as he turned his head. Nearby- anger. He started off in that direction, quickly going from a casual walk to a jog. His weight lead to him clanking his way down the street, but none stopped to stare at his form- not until he was close to the source, where he saw...

Was that-

No way.- They were too small. They lacked the fur, the fangs- but...

Their system still registered the other as Sonic- same basic makeup, genetically... But from years ago- before Mecha knew Sonic, before Mecha’s own creation.

The hedgehog seemed to frown at the word family before he sighed searching around for a safe place to hunker down for the storm but was finding none. He would have to hunker down in a bush for now. “ I don’t have any. I am technically i am a orphan of the zone as they call it I guess. I’ve been on my own for quite a while now but it ok i’ll find a bush or something and hunker down. ” the hedgehog managed to stand and straighten up using a crutch he had beside him which when he stood to his full height it revealed Just how bad it had been out here for him.

He was incredibly skinny with his all his ribs showing and he was scarred up in many places with smaller scars only visible when the wind blew his fur up a little. The hedgehog standing up also revealed that the child was also missing part of his right leg from the knee down the only thing wrapped around the end were old bandages that looked like they had not been changed in quite a while.

Amy couldn’t help but let out a horrified gasp at the sight of the state this poor child was in. He didn’t have any family...? He was all by himself without anyone to look after him, all while being in such a terrible state...? That’s horrible! Who could leave a kid like this for this long..? Poor thing... He was so skinny. And all those scars...

The pink hedgehog felt her heart hurting at the mere sight of the kid. She was sad, yet angry. Has he really been on his own for a long time? Why hasn’t anyone helped him out then? And what has he been eating or where has he been living in order to survive? She couldn’t possibly just let this poor thing stay out here when there is no place to really keep him safe... 

“...I don’t think I can let you stay in a bush if that’s the case, kiddo. It’s way too dangerous out here. How about you come and stay with me for a bit until the storm dies down? I’ve got plenty of room. Not to mention you need to seriously be tended to. Those bandages need to be changed, otherwise you risk an infection that could seriously damage your body.”
