I can't offer much, but I have stocked up on some tea. I'm happy to bring some for the occasion.

[not that he's ever been much of a cook tbh

The talk of Eggman is... difficult, but he would rather be truthful with Amy. So, he takes a second to prepare himself mentally before speaking.]

When Eggman became himself once more, he developed a wretched infection. The Metal Virus. It would spread by touch, and people would become robotic and violent. Their desire to attack and ensure the infection would spread to others. Many were infected.

We eventually had to flee to Angel Island for a period of time with the few that remained uninfected. It got out of hand.

We almost didn't manage to reverse it all. It was close. Too close.

[heyyourenotsonic]

You don't have to bring anything but yourself, silly.

[ Amy listens to Espio's story intently, and her eyes widen significantly at the plot twist. Metal Virus. It sounds like something straight out of a horror movie and right up Eggman's alley. ]

Espio, that's horrible! Are... are you okay though? Vector and Charmy too?

[stealthpun]

[Are you okay?

It's not a question he verbally responds to. He can't, the words stuck in his chest, swirling with anger and regret. Deception is the coward's way, he's told himself a hundred times. Be honest, he can do that, it's Amy--]

I am fine.

[Good thing it isn't Surge, or he'd be lying.]

Yes. Them too.

[heyyourenotsonic]

[ He might be lying, but at least he's an okay actor. She sighs with relief, and then lays a gentle hand on his arm. ]

I'm so sorry that happened, Espio. But I'm really glad that you guys are okay.

[ She is, too. She doesn't even want to think about any of her friends being hurt. Or worse. ]

I don't... want anything like that to happen here. So we'll be extra vigilant, yeah?

[stealthpun]

So am I. It was a close call.

[It could've been avoided, he thinks angrily. If he just didn't listen to Sonic--]

Indeed. If I could locate the doctor, perhaps I could have eyes on him.

[and many pointy things]

[heyyourenotsonic]

Oh, don't worry. He makes himself exceedingly known when he wants to.

[ She slumps. Ugh. ]

Hopefully he doesn't make... a ginormous mess of things for us here.

[stealthpun]

Hope will not get far with him.

[And really, this is Espio trying to not be such a buzzkill, but Fuck That Guy.]

For now, there is nothing to do for it. We'll simply have to be as prepared as we can be.

[heyyourenotsonic]

I agree! I have so many concerns...

[ Dude. She gets it. ]

I suppose so. I really don't trust those Radniks of his, though... I feel like he's going to do something to them and they're gonna turn on us. Or rather, turn on the people who own them.

[stealthpun]

Agreed. There must be something he's plotting, and I dislike waiting. ...Still, I suppose there isn't much more we can do to be proactive.

[short of SHANKING A MAN but y'know]

[heyyourenotsonic]

I dislike waiting too, but I'm not sure what else we can do for right now. I guess we just pay attention to his stupid cryptic crap and... actually, we should find out where he's living. 'Cause I don't actually know. I haven't seen him in person yet.

[ It's cool man you shank, she bashes it's all in good fun right? They can fill Eggman with candy and use him as a pinata at their next party ]
