◎ Act 1

[greaterspeed]

[in the room where the Chaos Gate is situated crouches a young, blue Twin Blade. He's far enough to one side to be out of the way, but not enough to be easily ignored. See, Sonic liked to be at the center of attention, it feeds that ego of his and well... He just liked to be social whenever fancy struck him.

What he didn't like was the idea of not being able to defend himself.

The fact that he was still a low level Twin Blade certainly did not help with the whole 'independent' thing. Which has led him to the boy crouching by himself moaning about the indignity of it all]

AAAAAAAUGH! I'm not made for RPGs! I can't do this level thing, got knocked out by a goblin. A MOOK! How does that even happen?? I've taken down giant death robots, angry water Gods, gigantic lasers, more killer robots and even more angry Gods and what happens?

[he throws his hands up in the air in exasperation. A few NPCs take this as a cue to exit the stage] A stupid Goblin knocks me out for an hour!

[silence.

...

...

Then Sonic just covers his face with his hands with a whine, ears folded against his head in embarrassment. In a small, muffled voice;]

I'm sorry, I promise to never do this RPG thing again now can I please go back to being able to beat things up just by jumping on them?

Tell me about it. I went from mid-high-level fighter capable of taking down my weight in level-appropriate encounters to a level one whatever-I-am just because someone decided to scrap the old campaign and change editions.

You're just not used to it, are you mate?

[galaxiapride]

Hmph, it sounds like you still need this lesson in humility.

[At first she was watching out of a mild kind of curiosity, but it quickly grows into something more with some of the things he said.

Hello Sonic, have a girl up in your face with some questions.]

What do you mean, knocked out? Were you actually defeated in battle?

[minetodecide]

[He was just about to go out for a training session when he heard the whining kid int he corner.]

Sitting there and complaining won't do you any good.

[shininghero]

I don't think apologizing is going to get you out of here. And RPGs aren't so bad, once you get the hang of them.

[adarable]

[ Sheeee doesn't really understand much of Sonic's outburts, but she can see that he lost a fight?

So Ada does what any HC should do - and cast Repth. Even though it. May not even be useful now. ]

Ah.. are you all right?
