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.

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

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

Yes.

That I will be there shortly.

[ muffled away from the phone: ]

Suuurge!

[ he'll arrive to a seemingly empty room... ]

[Well this is a fine mess.

Espio taps his foot as he assesses the damage. The busted down door. The psychic damage of having his poetry read.

Most of all: his shamisen.

Everything else is replaceable, but that part hurts him the most. Delicately, he picks up what remains of it and sighs in both exasperation and anger. At least his voice is steady if a bit stern when he says:]

Surge, if you're still around, I ask you reveal yourself.

[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?

[ kit warned her that he was coming, but she didn't think he'd be this fast.

...

...

... ]

[ ... ]

[GIRL HE'S THE SPEED IN SONIC HEROES SURPRISE

he's gonna check under the bed what up]

[ before he gets a good look under it, water sprays espio in the face—not hard enough to hurt him, but, you know, push him back a bit so that kit can scrabble out from under the bed and towards the busted door. not out it, but, you know. towards it. ]

[ 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...

Oh! So it was from the imagination? Honestly? That's not bad! A lot of people can't even visualize something well enough to even try and draw! What was it, anyway?

Also? That last drawing? It's really cute! Looks just like you guys!

PBPBPBT-- [is the sound of water getting sprayed into his face.

Kit is making good strides, but BAD NEWS, Espio is grabbing for his ankle. Nothin personnel kid]

Kit.

I'm not going to hurt you.

[Even if he looks REAL MAD AND DRIPPIN WET]

T-thank you...

[ damn... surge was gassing up his drawings (important) but he wasn't expecting it from a stranger. ]

Surge calls him Peaches...

Oh! Yeah that totally makes sense! On account that peaches look like little butts!

You totally nailed it!

[ he really thought he could get away with it too, but when espio goes for the ankle kit falls onto the ground, yelling. ]

Ahhhhh!! Surge! Help!!

[ he's still trying to scrabble man he's just not getting anywhere. ]

AAAHHHHH!!!!

Because Surge asked me too. She said, we need to illustrate his poems so that people see how in...tricate they are.

[ he's not struggling with the word, but surge sure did when she said it. ]

[Espio gives a sigh and just kind of hauls Kit enough so that he has the fox under his arm, like an unruly child.

Now it's time to try to find Surge.]

[look it's surge so naturally sonic's blood pressure SPIKES upon seeing her in a video, oh god what is she doing now WHO IS SHE AND KIT KILLING--

espio they're killing espio and it's the funniest shit, oh no

this is so bad

MAYBE HE SHOULD JUST LEAVE THIS ONE ALONE.]

Oh, so you were putting someone else's poems to song? Here I thought Surge wrote those herself!

You guys should go into advertising.

[He's not joking, but he does think that this kid's adorable. He had no idea Surge had a friend like this!]

[GUESS WHO ISN'T LEAVING THIS ALONE.]

What was that?! What was that awful dreck in the middle of that ear-splitting cacophony?! This is slander! You'll be hearing from my attorneys!

[ man, wait. maybe if he gets kit he'll spare surge. maybe she can make her escape while he's distracted. instead of squirming and struggling, kit cups his hands around his mouth. ]

Surge!! Run!!

[ HE'S BEEN GOT... THERE'S NO HOPE FOR HIM... SAVE YOURSELF... ]

WHAT ATTORNEYS!!!!!!!!! YOU DON'T HAVE A DAMN THING BUT THOSE STUPID BOTS AND THEY'RE BIASED SO YOU CAN'T USE'M!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ SCRUB!!! ]

Edited 2025-05-15 02:21 (UTC)

Advertising...? We didn't think of that. Surge is going to be a hero.

[ they can do advertising after she's famous. like those sponsor ads where she drinks cola. ]

I'll have you know that this is a textbook case of slander! I'm an entrepreneur! A businessman! And I've been here long enough to make connections!

[Hang on a second, he's texting someone.]
