[ immediately the viewer will see a green animal on screen, the camera angled up telling that whoever is holding the camera is shorter than her. don't mind that, because she's leaning forward into the screen with a sharktooth grin, then tapping at the recorder with the tip of her gloved finger. ]

Hey, is this working!?

[ in the background is a very low "yes ma'am!".

surge leans back, her ears twitching as she nods to herself. she shifts to the left a bit, then to the right now sure which side is her best side but... she'll figure that out later. ]

Okay, listen up! Your fellow heroes [ self-proclaimed ] are inna crisis! I got a prop...eristion for anyone willing to take on the challenge!

[ from behind the camera, another voice can be heard: ]

Proposition...

Yeah, that! The reward? We'll get to that later! A N Y way! There's this damn menace on the prowl causin' trouble as we speak, and you all need to be on the lookout. He's out there creatin' monsters and trying to put people in peril, but we know his weakness, and we'll get rid of him for ya before he tries to kill ya next.

[ hands on her hips, the tenrec nods to her own words because it makes sense, why wouldn't it? ]

Hand me the... y'know! [ she's holding out her hand towards the camera person, asking for something. ] So I know you're all curious about who this nefarious fiend is. My cool and artistic sidekick has taken it upon himself to draw this cretin.

[ a flap of a sheet of paper now means the camera screen, revealing the culprit. ]

THIS GUY. Bring him to us and we will beat the shit out of him and you never have to deal with his evil again! So, anyone up for the task?

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Learning Shadow creates monsters is a new one to me.

Do you have evidence to support your claim?

Oh buddy, then strap in! [ surge rolls her eyes, annoyed that there's no visible proof because who can do that when you're trying to fight for your life. ] He was in the belly of that damn turtle making more viruses!!! He made one big one and was going to let it attack innocent people!! We saw him!

[Wait a sec, he knows that ~~Togedemaru~~ hedgehog.]

Are you sure you got the right guy? Cause he doesn't seem evil to me.

[ now her ears are twitching.... what is this she's hearing... ]

Then he's hiding his evil ways, simple as that! He's plotting and scheming, he even attacked us by teaming up with the thing!!

Hm. Curious.

What ended up happening?

I asked who was up for a task, not an interview on what happened!!

[ why is this person asking so many questions, shadow is this your damn burner account.

stop trying to act like you weren't evil. ]

Ugh, whatever!!! He attacked us, he didn't even try to target the damn monster, he tried to target ME! He even broke my friend's gear!! Do you know how much it's gunna cost to try and get that fixed!?

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

With... what thing?

[Kieran just looks doubtful.]

It doesn't really sound right. I've worked with 'im plenty of times, and he's been a nice guy. A lil' grumpy, but nice enough.

Sure. So him trying to kill me inside the belly of a turtle is just being grumpy! I wasn't aware.

[ there's sarcasm in her voice as she looks off to the side, it's really unbelievable, but she has to make her case. ]

There were slimes in that monster and he was putting them together to double, triple its size!!! Me and my friend tried to kill it, but he would get in the way and attack us instead! I'd say "can you believe that!?" But so far, you probably really can't!!

A force of habit to fully understand the situation. I'm from a detective agency.

I will keep an eye out for your culprit. [Mostly to ask him questions, but y'know!]

Uhh... I didn't hire a detective, I'm asking someone to get him so I can punch his damn face in!

[ this is her good hero will. ]

Just tell me where you see him as soon as you see him.

I believe you can understand how difficult it is to refuse one's habit and nature.

If I see him, I will inform you.

Well, I'm very accepting when it comes to habit and nature, y'know.

[ sometimes she has a habit to kill and it's deeply rooted in her nature. ]

So Mr. Detective, is this free? Better be, because I'm the one offerin' the reward.

[There's a wry tone to his voice.] I have no intention of charging you.

It's Espio, if you need a name. [He isn't expecting her to retain the info but maybe she'll surprise him]

her voice lowers, almost offended as it starts to click in her head. it's not an unfamiliar name, certain names get around in the underground and even above on the surface. there are people to avoid, constant reminders of who she's supposed to stay out of sight of and who to keep her attention on. ]

What game are you playing at?

[ there's the small crackle of something in the background. ]

[It was a bit risky to reveal himself, but he'd rather do that now than give her a nasty surprise later. It's hard to say how the future may unfold.]

None. I have no desire for deception, Surge. That is all.

Huh??

[Wait, what? That's... Shadow wouldn't do that, would he? He didn't just attack others... oh, wait...]

Well, I mean, he once tried to kick my Dragonite once, but that's cause we were wakin' him up from where he fell asleep. But other'n that he's always seemed to be friendly to me an' my Pokemon.

[Especially his Pokemon. In fact, he remembers how Shadow all but interrogated him and his Pokemon about if they were happy with being with him. He frowns, tapping the side of his thigh with his fist while be brings his thumb up to his teeth.]

Are ya sure you didn't do anythin' to make 'im upset?

Why are you asking me anything?

[ there's a bite to her words.

no wonder he chose audio of all things, his appearance would have certainly caused surge to blow a fuse. ]

You're one of his lackeys. Is that why you asked me for details, is it because you don't trust me? Is that what they put through that thick skull of yours?

[ it goes unsaid, "what reason do i have to believe you?"

shadow was part of a building block for starline, surge doesn't know all the details, but she knows that despite that she wants to beat the hell out of him. espio? she doesn't know a lot, but enough that anyone in relation to sonic is bad news. biased by a certain preference, and part of the reason why surge stands here today. ]

What the hell so it has to be our fault!? Can he not be wrong!?

[ she's taken aback by the claim, what is it that she could do to make him mad, he attacked her! there's a shiver down her spine, easily irritated, and it's hard to ignore the sparks that somewhat come off her body.

calm down, surge. ]

Well maybe that's you, maybe ya have a bond, but we weren't given the same respect! To hell with me, but my partner was at stake!!

[ ugh, she groans, turning away from the camera. ] He's out there creatin' a beast and we were wrong.... classic!

Let me make this clear above all else: I am no one's lackey. Certainly not Sonic's, not Shadow's, not even Vector's.

I asked you because I have my own questions that I'd like to address toward Shadow. I wish to better understand the situation, especially as a detective. It's not as if he is a forthcoming hedgehog.

So unless you have given me a reason to distrust you, you don't have anything to be concerned with. Knowing all the facts helps complete a puzzle for me and isn't your particular problem, but I understand the desire for payback. It is not a patient need to bear.

[ in the end, he's not doing this because of what happened to them, she knows that. he's probably doing it because of whatever relationship he has with that hedgehog.

it makes sense. ]

Sounds like ya usin' me as your personal buildin' block.

[ is she finding holes to make in his argument, she might just be because what else does she have.

... ]

Let's get to the nitty gritty of it, are you playing me for a fool? You say you understand payback, but even if you did see him, were you going to tell me the exact place, were you going to tell me about him hours after the fact? Maybe days? You're going to protect him in some form, aren't you?

[ why is she wasting her breath. ]

A good detective asks questions. That is all.

[She can think what she wants. And frankly, Espio expects her to be stubborn. Not that he can entirely fault her for it.]

Shadow doesn't need my protection, and would likely even find it an insult if I had tried. Although I'll admit I'd have wanted to ask him questions prior to your arrival if I did see him, I do have every intent of keeping my word.

Your business with Shadow is not mine to resolve.

[ she is stubborn, it's all she has. ]

...

[ whatever espio wants to learn about shadow prior to her and kitsunami is their business, not hers. she doesn't feel great, she doesn't want any of sonic's annoying clique to know anything about her, but she did bring this upon herself on the network. ]

If you don't keep your word. I'll find you.

Noted.

Any additional questions you have for me?

[ noted. he accepts that so easily that it doesn't make sense to her. does he not understand that what she said is a threat? he's placed underneath the umbrella of sonic's allies, and she'll kill each and every one if need be.

... ]

Who are you?

[ a detective named espio, but... who is he? it's a question that if redirected towards surge, she couldn't answer. ]

[ Sherlock has a lot of conflicting thoughts about Shadow, but unlike a certain hedgehog, Sherlock's not about to just turn him in for a bounty.

Also, this seems rather poorly made, putting its validity into question. ]

What prompted this challenge?
