Okaaaaay! I know what you are all here for today, a bounty? A chance to beat someone's face in!? I want that too, but I'm bringing somethin' else to the table.

[ the camera shuffles, surge can be seen relaxing on someone's bed with her legs crossed, and what seems to be a small book in hand. the background suggests she's in a very tidy room which doesn't match her personality, however... in the corner of the video, a busted down door can be seen with the hinges broken off, and then the camera's readjusted to show only surge and that mischievous smile of hers. ]

So Chick had me thinkin' you know, everyone got a lil creative side, so I thought maybe revealing these techniques would lighten everything up.

[ leaning up, surge flips through the book in hand searching for something and... ]

Aha! So I'll start with someone I know who does this almost every day. Ahem! Here we have one that happens to the best of us. I feel as if this one needs a beat... DRIPPY, HAND ME THAT GUITAR....

[ with the guitar in hand, and the questionable pick is when surge begins to strum at the strings to find a beat. she's a little taken aback on how this works because this is different from what she's seen, but her beat is off-rhythm and she gives a little screamo action on this poetic piece of literature she memorized as another piece of art slides on screen. ]

MY WALLET IS SO EMPTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I COULD USE A PENNYYYYYYYY OR TWENTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
THE STAAAAAAAAAAAATEEEEEEEEE OF MY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNKKKKKKK SO UNKEMPTLYYYYYYYYYYYY
DOO DOO DOOOOOOOOOOOOO, DEE DEEEEEEEEEEEEE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[ that one speaks for itself as surge finishes up her "technique" on the guitar, one of the strings snapping, and she throws it on the floor afterwards. with that done, surge flips to another page, squinting to look over at her camerafox picture he wants to use then down at the writing.

once found, the picture takes the entire view. ]

Bees buzzing so loud
Crocodiles full of sound
It's snowing on Mt. Fuji

[ as they prepare for the next one, surge is shuffling through pages unable to find what she wants... ] This next one gunna take a minute, Drippy do a commercial break or somethin' I need to find this one.

---

--COMMERCIAL BREAK STARTS--

[ kit and surge each leave from one side of the camera, going offscreen until...

a piece of paper is lifted in front of the camera, and slowly moved from one side to the other. behind it, some might recognize that they're hearing kitsunami's voice. ]


Do do do do doo, do do d-do do... Doo... Do not buy Build-A-Bot!

---

[ after this important message, the picture slides off camera, and now surge is somewhere else inside of the room, and there's a little quaint desk for calligraphy by her side. surge stands with sharktooth grin as another image comes from above, covering the camera. again, surge's voice can be heard as she reads off another hit. ] For the finale of Peaches' Hikes, we'll end it off on one that makes a lotta sense to me.

[ here comes the last image from below, covering the shellphone screen, and revealing... a masterpiece as surge reads off that little book she has. ]

Seashells on the sea shore
There is a very loud snore
Ignoring it is a chore
Would like to stop being poor
Waiting around is a bore

Well, there ya have it! All sorts of creative Hikes in this little book, now if anyone has any critiques or things they'd like to say. Love, love, looooooooooooooooooove to hear'em.

[ she throws the book onto the ground as she's done with it. ] Anyway, everyone say thank you to Della Duck for bringing us together as a community to showcase our talents. Remember to like and subscribe.

[ one last piece of paper comes on the screen. ]



[ then the video cuts off. ]

Surge is busy right now. Do you want to leave a message?

[ he'll pass it on, you know. ]

[VIDEO]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[He's clapping.]

That was awesome! But, okay, not a criticism but a real, genuine question.

Why are there floating asses in most of these pictures?

[VIDEO]

[kitsunami]

[ surge pushes kit forward, and after a moment or so of hemming and hawing, he manages to answer without looking at the camera. ]

I was drawing without a reference...

BUT ANYWAY, as soon as Sonic is able to form words again he'll check in with his bro!!]

H-hey, man. What's with that look?

[ Video ]

[heyyourenotsonic]

...

[ What the fuck did she just witness.

...doesn't matter. She's not gonna say anything. She's contemplating trying to make popcorn though. ]

Action cause they're elo-on some treasure hunt

[wherethereislight]

[He's walking by Amy when that god awful sound of a string instrument and someone screeching starts playing from her shellphone. Loud enough to reach anyone's ears nearby. He looms over her, cause wtf?]

[thearchangel]

What... did I just see here?

[This is like a Blasto Movie, except a lot shorter.]

[With a floating human ass.]

audio; 1/2

[stealthpun]

NOTHING, YOU SAW NOTHING!

[stealthpun]

[He clears his throat.]

...A mess to be cleaned. Do not concern yourself.

[weishappened]

Is... this some kind of ... thing where you guys all come from?

[First the thing with Fox Kid, and the Egg. Now this.]

[The man from Fantasy Medieval land is baffled.]

[kitsunami]

Um, y-yeah...

It's called streaming... You do things for others to watch...

[video]

[bloodthirstydawn]

....

[She's not...sure what all that was. Its going over her head]

Uh....what's with all the peaches?

[She thinks they're peaches??]

[VIDEO]

[tenrectricity]

Yeah, you got it right on the dot!

[ surge will even applaud because not too many people are good at guessing. ]

Since you got a good eye, I'll tell you THE secret.

[Video]

[emberized]

"Bravo. Bra-vo." [Axel gives a small clap, it's barely audible with his gloves and he sounds just a touch sarcastic, but that's just what happens when general sincerity isn't in your wheel house.

There are two things a Nobody sought out to escape the neverending boredom and emptiness-- the excitement of a good fight and entertainment and boy if these guys on the airwaves lately didn't have it in spades!]

"Awfully vocal about these. Messages lately."

[And frankly a little contradictory about it. Do they want people to buy something or not??]

"Are we to expect any repeat performances?"

[Video]

[tenrectricity]

[ the girl chuckles, hand on her hips as she nods from the clapping. she didn't expect this, but someone sees the effort she put into this and they're entertained. ]

Well, I dunno.

[ how many houses can she break into to make this happen, but surge is pretty proud of herself. ]

This only happened because Chick was upset awhile ago. [ the singing was unexpected, but it was enough that surge started looking for talented people for other talented reasons.

she didn't find anyone yet, but you know. ]

I wanted to see what other people could do. You can always fuel to the fire goin' on around here.

un; perfpilot, video

[sos_pilot]

HOW IS ANY OF THIS MY FAULT?!

video

[tenrectricity]

Don't act so modest, we all heard you sing! I tried to find some talented people, but it's harder than it looks.

[ maybe she needs to go by looks.... ]

[tilfrosset]

Well, that could certainly give a few bards a bit of competition.

[Probably the most drunken of bards, really, but Jill is staying polite in her scoring of this stream. She has no intention of being harsh; she's just confused at all the screaming.]

Is this another one of those stream things?

video;

[tenrectricity]

Lemme guess, you turned into the previous "stream", huh? Well, look no more! Those two were scammers, but this is the real entertainment deal.

[ did she know that surge doesn't want to be a bard, but she does appreciate the compliment. leaning back, the tenrec wiggles her ears as she continues. ]

Have you ever tried gettin' on the camera and enticin' the crowd?

[...Alhaitham really wants to know what is up with all these anthropomorphic animals recently... there are certainly a lot of them these days...

But anyway.]

1) You do not need to strum your instrument that hard. The strings have enough tension on them as it is.
2) Don't throw books on the ground. You'll damage the cover and potentially the pages.
3) You should consider a different career path during your time here.

[They did ask for critique, in his defense.]

text;

[tenrectricity]

[ oh yes, now this is what she was looking for. not that she actually needs critique, but it's aiming towards why she did this. ]

1) im not familiar with a guitar, actually my first time seeing one like it
2) since you're concerned about the books, are you able to fix them? if so, reply yes
3) ohhh nooo!! i'm so upset!!!! were the written parts not up to standard!!!!!! these hikes were really worked on!!!

[ then again, this person taking it seriously when she wasn't? basically her chew toy! ]
