escordvi | [Open] May intro

[ 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!

[ 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. ]

[ 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.

[ 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. ]

[ 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.

... ]

Surge, are you recovering well?

[ 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! ]

[ 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...?

[ 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?

A) Totally not suspect water activities

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

C) Are you telling me shrimp fried this rice
