A) Totally not suspect water activities

[kitsunami]

[ as much as kit would love to and insist upon being at surge's side at all times, the fact of the matter is, some of the things he needs to do? kind of boring for her, and he can't expect her to sit on her hands and wait for him. hydropack repairs was one of those things. another one, however, is something that he's not quite sure she'd appreciate, meaning when he finds his place to sit on a bench outside of a busy square, it's by himself.

at first, he doesn't seem to be doing anything suspicious. just watching as the people walk by... and that one over there happens to trip. kit's eyes remain on them the entirety of their fall, and even as they pull themselves up, look around, on the ground for what their foot could have snagged on—but there's nothing there.

and this happens... a few times. not once or twice, but wihout fail, every three minutes or so, somebody will fall flat on their face in the middle of this square. and again. and again.

whether the next person to fall is you, or somebody you happen to be observing at the moment, noticing that blue fox with the steady stare as they fall, is the question. ]

NOTE: This prompt is based on the idea of bloodbending being under the water class of magic. Because he did something similar to move a slime in the TDM, so he's trying to see if he can do it with people too. He can't do anything crazy because blood is made of more than just water; this is the most he can do, but I don't want to pull this on anybody without permission, so if you're not comfortable with this prompt but still want to hit him up, feel free to throw me a PM!

B) Maid day mayday for the terminally broke ft. Kitsunami

[tenrectricity]

[ god forbid an animal be broke around these parts. between tattoos, hydropack repairs, and daily necessities? kit and surge's combined wallets have moths coming out of them.

that doesn't mean they won't treat themselves anyway, because surge deserves a treat, but that doesn't mean that there aren't any consequences for those treats. no... because when surge and kit aren't able to pay, those maid dresses they'd been offered upon entry are no longer voluntary.

that's why a green tenrec and a blue fennec fox will approach your table as you sit down to order, both dressed to the nines in their maidly fits. one is wearing a wide shark-toothed grin, while the other seems much more timid, pulling at the frills on his apron. it's the tenrec, who holds a feather duster in one hand and a menu in the other, who speaks: ]

Okay, let's see. We got... [ she's looking at the menu in her hand before turning it upside down, right side up, upside down. then she'll place it in front of the buyer. ] Yeah, so this is what we got, what'cha wanna order? No less than ten items, head chef in the back said so.

[ the chef ain't say that but they need as much cash as they can get around here. ]

[sos_pilot]

[ So, once Della became a mom, she pretty much put all thoughts of romantic love (and lust) on the backburner. There was definitely a spark with Penny, but Della had wanted to take things slow, since the Lieutenant was still adjusting to earth. But here she is, yanked onto another world, with no clue when or how to get home.

She's still not planning on hooking up with anyone, but, well... can anyone blame her for a little observation? She'll just stay for an hour or two to ogle, grab a bite to eat, and then head back.

She'd been so busy eyeing the taller ladies she doesn't register who the extra company is at first, though the voice is familiar. She then blinks rapidly as the menu is popped in front of her - hey, quit blocking the view! ]

Huh? Oh, sure, I'll grab a small mug of mead, and do you guys know if you can put extra cheese on the -

[ That's when she gets an actual look at her servers.

Oh, hey, it's that tricky girl she hates! ]

AAAAAAAAAAH!

[ Oh, hey, it's that little boy she'd been smothering! ]

AAAAAAAAAAH!!

WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE?!

[ Oh, god, Surge is going to empty her wallet again! Oh, god, Kitsunami is going to think she's a pervert!!! THIS IS HELL!!!! ]

1/2

[kitsunami]

[ kit meanwhile is totally fine with serving della, who was nice enough to him on the corsair ship—he's busy jotting down her order as she says it, scribbling in the little notebook he'd been offered as a part of the waitstaff when—

AAAAAAAAAAH!

kit jumps so bad he actually drops his notebook and his pen. then she does it again! big eyes, alarmed, he's looking at della like she just. well. screamed her lungs out in the middle of this fine establishment. not asking if she's okay though, she should be asking if he's okay.

let him crouch down to pick up his notebook. surge will handle this. ]

[wherethereislight]

[Hey, it's great to see Surge and Kit just doing some honest work for once! Mostly. Be a real shame if someone decided to just drop in while they're working with a customer. And that's what ends up happening. Now, it was never Shadow's intent to just drop in on someone. Not in this fashion that's for sure.

But some random rift decided to just open beneath him, and then proceed to drop him on top of Kit, startling the patron at the same time by the surprise hedgehog. For a minute, he thought he had seen glimpse of something familiar as he was going through the rift, but that is not the concern right now.]

1/2

[kitsunami]

[ man what the hell. kit doesn't know what's going on, only that something topples him down and he doesn't even get a look at what it is. something that's heavy and probably alive, based on its temperature.

the best kit can do is try to glance over his shoulder and see something black as he squirms underneath it. ]

Surge...!

[ help! help! he's squirming! he's kicking! he's trying to escape without hurting any customers(?)! ]

C) Are you telling me shrimp fried this rice

[tenrectricity]

[ when surge heard food, of course her floppy ears twitch and she's going to take herself right to eltrut's shores to see where it's at. shrimp is what they said, and here she thought that someone was selling, but no, it's more so lots of baby shrimp are hopping and swimming around in the water. her eyes widen at the sight, slowly rubbing her chin in thought as she looks left then right until she's placing her attention back on the snacks wiggling about. how many days would this keep her and kit fed? for a long time maybe.

it's hard being broke and having no way to keep a meal on the table, so what does surge go and do? she leaves the area to find six to eight buckets so that she can begin filling them up one by one. her hands scoop up a decent amount and dump them in. sure, she's helping them alright in her own way. ]

Hey, hey you. Hand me that really fat, juicy shrimp next to ya.

[ surge points over at it, trying to help them spot it before it gets away. ]

I bet he's super tasty on the grill.

No rift like home / Closed: Surge

[kitsunami]

[ luckily, most of his time is still spent with surge, and he's grateful for that. unfortunately, they're still broke and pretty directionless. sonic's nowhere to be seen, and neither is tails, so there goes that idea. instead, their focus for now? survival.

kit's pack is repaired, but at a price, and the two of them walk the streets in search of a way to recoup the money they've spent on that. ]

I was thinking about getting... a job... J-just until we can afford a place to stay.

[ the boats are off the table, seeing as they've been assigned to separate ones, and the islands their crews live on are no different. they need a place here, where it's possible for them to be together, even if it's a little shabby, like that time they were staying in starline's old base...

which, speaking of it, when kit looks up? he doesn't do that often, but there's somethign that catches his eye.

starline's base.

kit steps back, but there's no ground underneath his feet. he's falling, and he panics as surge grows further away from him. not this!! ]

Surge—!

[ he's reaching out his paw for her. ]

[tenrectricity]

[ a job is interesting, it's not something they've had time to do, and it's not like surge knows about child labor laws. normally their typical schtick is walking around searching for who needs help, if there's any danger happening around in certain places, but this is new territory. they'll have to learn.

she's not against the idea of it as she knows this different armada issue is in the way, and she does wonder what happened. why was she put here and drippy over there? probably a faulty ass system that can't be trusted, but when she turns at the exclamation in kitsunami's voice, the girl is surprised at the sight. ]

What the hell!?

[ quick, she drops to her hand and knees, reaches out to drab at kit's wrist, she doesn't make it, barely touching the tips of his gloves. she's not paying attention to the background, and rather than look for help, the girl slings herself inside of the odd ring to wind up falling too.

kicking her feet and arms, she tries to "swim" forward, it doesn't work as what she thought, and there's no such thing as flat surfaces to bounce off to grab him. ]

Hey! Hey!!! Grab my hand!!!

[ maybe she's heavier and will drop faster, but she's trying for him. ]

[kitsunami]

[ kit can see surge reach out her hand for him, and he reaches back too, but she's still just out of his grasp. he continues to fall, panicking—and maybe even more so when surge jumps in after him.

is that okay? is surge going to be okay? he feels much better not to be falling into... whatever he's been pulled into alone—not by himself, but there's a different kind of fear of what waits for them on the other side. does anything wait for them on the other side? surge is trying to get closer, and kit is reaching for her as desperately as he can. the tips of their fingers are almost able to tou—

thud. ]

Oof.

[ they'll find themselves in a pile on a hard concrete floor, surge perhaps on top of kit, or maybe she managed to stick the landing. what matters now? they've reached their destination. ]

post-eggman ate her UP video call | closed

[tenrectricity]

[ for a man who is a busy philanthropist, he really did have a lot to say outside of his product. that's why surge has found herself in a room irritable, annoyed, and at first proving herself to be the bigger person. however, her own thoughts are negative, and while she hates everyone else, it's not like it doesn't reflect upon herself.

what did he mean by that. it's true she wants to be seen, by through her own methods, that doesn't mean how she's going about it is like him.

her heart runs rampant inside of her chest, she finds her back against the wall, then can feel herself curl up against herself. is she like him? is she trying to be better just like starline had started to see himself, to prove his worth. is she just like that? is she more like him than she realizes? her fingers curl into her pants, bringing her curled knees to hide her face.

she's shaking out of anger... fear?

a pop and fizzle of a lightbulb goes out and the room turns solid black, she hides within this cloak of darkness hoping to not be seen. she knows sometimes that old voice haunts much like his name, and she doesn't want to hear what he has to say. what if he comes back to agree, because he loves eggman's mind.

... ]

[kitsunami]

[ it doesn't take long for kit to wrap up with eggman and put his phone away. he's even considering blocking him for good measure, but that'll do less good on his phone than surge's. he'll think about it. for now, there are more important things to worry about.

like surge.

he knocks on the door before he opens it, but when he peers in, the inside of the room is in darkness. he can make out the shape of surge against a wall, but before he approaches: ]

... Surge?

[ is she okay...? ]

[tenrectricity]

[ the tenrec flinches at the voice.

that's who she's supposed to be, but is she really who she wants to be? she doesn't even want to be this. it's hard to tell anymore when she thinks about it as no one has ever said that to her. her refocus is being a hero, but is that all wrong because of her need to upstage sonic much like starline who needed to outdo eggman? it's why they were created, she heard it herself, how the other would call the genius to his side and they would rule. ]

I dunno... anymore.

[ her faults is that her feelings rush over: fear, insecurity, anger, and it's obvious which one is winning out at the moment. she hates him, she doesn't want to be related to him, as soon as he was gone forever she was meant to be free, but it still circles back to the impression and marks starline has left on her mind.

the darkness isn't so comforting anymore, her ears angle flat against her quills. she leans closer into her knees to hide herself. ]

...I don't want to be... like him...

Surge, are you recovering well?

text; un: tenrectricity

[tenrectricity]

it's whatever, i'm built pretty sturdy. or is this your way to see if i was even out of commission

[stealthpun]

This is my way of checking in on you, so I can lead up with thanking you for saving Amy. Hopefully that's acceptable.

that one lily allen song | closed: spinsandneedles

[tenrectricity]

[ you know, being somewhere pretty early has to be a sin, but surge's desire to destroy sonic goes unrivaled. it's that type of rush that keeps her awake at night and has allowed her to strategically set up this meeting. however, it's not all about killing him dead, there's something she needs to understand and that's where the other lacks. is she annoyed that he doesn't remember vital points of their crossed paths — the restoration with their underlying threats thrown back and forth, the sweepstakes where sonic had his own agenda and it being a turning point for her.

it pisses her off real bad knowing he doesn't remember, because she meant what she said, he has to survive these things so that when the time comes she can defeat him. there's a curve now, it doesn't feel like he's up to the standard that she knew him to be (really, he's up to nothing, but still something about it doesn't sit right with her). it's why she crouches atop of the loop de loop, eyes watching overhead in search of anything familiar which is mostly a blue blur, but those smug expressions will do well too.

as long as it's sonic, surge will react. that's how it's always been, and how it always will be until he's no more, and she'll leave the means of his destruction open. torn to pierces, obliterated, completely crushed and nothing but wet remains under her heel... as long as it's him. she doubts that he'll come late, information is at stake, and the moment she sees him surge has already decided to strike.

she comes down like lightening, her body infused with electricity as she tries to strike the hedgehog from above.

.........hi! ]

[spinsandneedles]

[Seeing as it's an absolutely insane time to be awake, you bet your ass Sonic grabbed a coffee on his way over. Between getting up before dawn and sleeping like crap lately (y'all might be giving him anxiety ok), dude's exhausted.

He arrives at the loop de loop what he thinks is a few minutes early, hoping to have enough time to caffeinate before it's time to talk. Or probably get kicked in the head. Maybe both. Either way, he pops the lid off his cup and just tries to take a second to wake up. If he hadn't just happened to glance up when taking a sip of his coffee, Surge might have landed that blow right on his fat stupid head. But he did look up, and instinctively darts out of the way to avoid her.

Spilling coffee all over himself isn't how he'd envisioned this conversation starting, but here we are. With a sigh, he tosses his now empty cup aside and squares up.]

Hey, Surge. Are we talking, or are we fighting?

[PLEASE SAY TALKING...]

[tenrectricity]

Don't act STUPID. You think I'mma come here and just TALK to you?

[ like someone civilized? hell no, the smartest choice would be to race him and talk, but she's always been violent. racing is not violent enough unless she can run him over. ]

You know how this goes! Nothing is goin' to change so treat every encounter with me like life or death.

[ she brings the back of her hand to her palm smacking them together with a glare, sparks coming from the contact. don't act like things are different, don't he dare think that they can do something normal. that's not how this works. her ears twitch, she takes a step forward with a few sparks snapping around on the ground that comes from her shoes. they're staying close to surge as she hasn't started to direct her attacks towards him yet. ]

You're supposed to survive everything else but me. You're supposed to know this, Blue. How dare you even forget!?

[ yeah, she's going to dash right towards him to try and grab his arm, if not, she'll make sure to avoid physical contact and send an electrical current right towards where he's drenched himself with the coffee once close enough. ]

(1/2) @della @surge

[kitsunami]

[ it's a hot day out today, the sun bearing down on kit and surge at the beach. all of the money they've earned has been set aside for more important things, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of trouble for them to solve as heroes either. that's why they have to make their own entertainment or cheap.

hence: ]

L-like this...?

[ kit is holding the shape for her to see, maintaining the current that rises from the underside of the slide, and flows back down the the ocean on the slide part, meant to emulate one of those 'water parks' surge had heard about before. with a little more focus, kit is able to build a ladder at the top of the slide, and then he turns to surge. ]

Is that better...?

2/2

[tenrectricity]

Yeah, that's good! Bet they don't get stuff like this often, and we can get people to pay and ride.

[ if she envisions a little bigger, then maybe they could make a whole theme park, but that would cost so much water. those islands are sounding fun to buy as the seconds pass, but she's already sprinting off in front of the slide to take a pretty good look, and even the water flow is so fast that it could be dangerous for anyone not prepared for it.

it looks fun. ]

Speed up the water, I want to get sent flying.

[ taking a few steps back, the tenrec is pretty impressed by the other's technique, but what's pretty odd is seeing a hole open above the top of the slide, and a familiar feather duster falling from pretty high up at the start of the extreme power slide freshly created.

squinting, surge leans forward. ]

Whuzzat...

you two are terrible and i love it

[sos_pilot]

[ Fun fact! Della hates the ocean.

Falling out of a rift is bad enough, but being suddenly thrust into this 'ride' has her so startled, she flails trying to get out, but doesn't manage. Instead?

She's like a pinball in a watery arcade game, falling and smacking into the 'walls' all over the place until she finally lands right in front of the duo, one leg sticking up, her face planted right in the sand.

Ow.

Twitch-twitch.

whatever she's saying is muffled into the sand, but maybe they can hear bits and pieces. ]

... 'very single time, I know it wasn't the mansion, I know...

(1/2) | closed: kitsunami, octoblot

[tenrectricity]

[ it's up to kitsunami to take surge where she needs to go, because when the fox asked her who they knew that could fix things, well, who else? that person over the video seems to know something, and so surge is going to follow up. once they make it to the establishment, the tenrec smacks open the door with a hard push to alert her presence. ]

I need the big wig.

[ disruptive, but knows what she's about as she glances around the location to search for someone familiar. of course, surge isn't even sure if they're at the right place, so she turns to the fox beside her to recheck, he wouldn't lead her astray, or shouldn't, but it's always best to double check these things.

one hand on her hip, the other holding a shamisen as she speaks up. ]

This the place right?

(2/2)

[kitsunami]

[ surge enters the establishment with a bang, just the way a hero should. as for her fennec fox sidekick, he enters a lot more cautiously, glancing around as he follows close behind her. this place swanky. or at least, it's better than starline's base or surge and kit's crummy apartment in the city before. ]

Yes, Ma'am. This is the place, I'm sure of it.

[ he double—no, triple checked the directions he'd managed to get.

though, personally? he doesn't know why they have to fix espio's shamisen, but surge is in her hero era, always wanting to help people, so today it's kits' job to help her help espio. ]

[octoblot]

[The Mostro Lounge is indeed quite swanky, as it is meant to be a place for relaxation and entertainment in addition to Azul's other side business in "granting wishes", as he likes to call it. Lots of comfortable chairs and tables for people to sit at for chatting and playing at with one of the cards or board games available here. There's even a stage for anyone who wants to perform for an audience. However, the Lounge is actually unoccupied right now, as Azul is not ready to open that part of the business yet thanks to the abductions last month setting him back on finishing the last of his preparations.

As such, Azul will be found easily, as he had been taking notes while examining the area behind a nearby countertop. He looks up from his clipboard upon the two of them entering the building, customer service smile immediately gracing his lips.]

Hello, thank you for coming today! Is there something that I can help the two of you with?
