Who: Espio the Chameleon & YOU Status: Mostly open, some closed Where: eh you know What: Catch-all of variety of shenanigans for May Warnings: Will update as needed but nothing right now.
I want to have a big party here at some point! Except, everything's been a little crazy lately. Sonic and I are going to host a game night though, you should come and join in!
[ CLOSE ENOUGH TO A PARTY! ]
Precise insight is the best kind! Mm, there's a whole lot I'd actually like to know. Who is Mr. Tinker?
[ Because she wants to get everyone's take on this alter ego of Eggman's, thanks. ]
I would gladly come. Be prepared to give it your all, for I will not hold back.
[GO HARD OR GO HOME that's how he rolls.
At the question, Espio holds his breath a moment before folding his arms.]
A man whose presence was too short lived.
I don't know what you've been told, but after the war, Sonic asked Vector, Charmy, and myself to locate Eggman. We did... technically.
Only he had complete amnesia. He was not himself at all, and his personality was effectively the opposite as we know him. Windmill Village took to calling him Mr. Tinker as he was all too happy to help them repair and improve their lives.
Sonic convinced me that we should leave him alone to live his life as Mr. Tinker. He convinced Shadow to hold back as well, in hopes Mr. Tinker would live his peaceful life helping others.
Oh, I'm definitely not going to hold back. Especially if we play Monopoly.
[ She's coming for your properties, Espio. Get TAXED!!
Amy hums, nodding her head. ]
I haven't been told a whole lot. But... yeah, that tracks. Sonic isn't one to want to... end things permanently. That's not his style. Super noble of him... I felt that way too, I still kind of do? But... that man has caused a lot of trouble. Mr. Tinker sounds like an amazing person, and it's a shame he's not in existence anymore.
Hmph. I welcome the challenge. I handle the invoices at the agency.
[LET'S GOOOO]
...I know.
[He knows it isn't Sonic's style. At Espio's heart, he wants to respect that, but it's impossible to do for all of the horror that comes after Mr. Tinker stopped existing.]
When he became Eggman again. ... Let us just say there are some atrocities that I can't excuse. I can't abide by Sonic's sense of justice in this regard, nobly naive though it may be.
You sure do, you're a pro! I'm gonna make a lot of snacks too, and I know Tails is bringing some as well. I'm a little limited here when it comes to cooking, I sure do miss my kitchen at home...
[ S I G H. She wants to cook and bake for everyone but she CAN'T HERE and that royally blows. ]
...What did he do? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but... I can say that I'm in agreement with you. I don't want to hurt him, or see him dead... but also, we can't just keep letting him run around doing whatever he wants. There's a lot of people here who don't know Eggman like we do. I don't want anyone else to get hurt.
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.
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?
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 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.
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 ]

[ A content sigh. She does love parties, especially when all of her friends show up and have a good time, too. ]
You're definitely from my future, which is pretty cool! Ooo, what can you tell me about the future that my tarot cards can't~?
[ She grins, and wiggles her fingers ALL SPOOKY LIKE at him. ]

[It's very endearing how much she enjoys watching her friends have fun. It was easy to accept her party invitation.
GET FUCKED CHARMY]Ha. I have faith in your tarot readings, but I would be able to give you precise insight. What sort of information would best aid you?

I am fine.
[Good thing it isn't Surge, or he'd be lying.]
Yes. Them too.
no subject
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?
no subject
[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]
no subject
[ She slumps. Ugh. ]
Hopefully he doesn't make... a ginormous mess of things for us here.
no subject
[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.
