Warnings: Nothing? Just a grumpy hedgehog yelling at people to get off his lawn boat.

Stop going into the rifts. They don't take you wherever they show.

[Sincerely, a hedgehog that's getting tired of people landing on his damn boat.]

[wherethereislight]

Why apologize? [He doesn't actually think he did it. Just found the apology unncessary.]

This is still a problem. [He can't figure out if someone is capable of creating these false rifts, or something cause by the world itself.]

[scooba]

Because uh...I'm expressing my sympathies to you?

[That and he's just so use to apologizing...]

[wherethereislight]

[...He doesn't want it, but it's whatever.]

You know anything with these rifts?

[scooba]

No, not really.

But I know they deliver you to random places...

[wherethereislight]

[All that anyone knows right now.] Anyone you know that have gone through them?

[scooba]

...I have.

[wherethereislight]

Do you know how it went for them? What they saw?

[scooba]

It was strange to be honest, I'm not even sure how to describe it. It felt like I went in there and all of a sudden, I reappeared in a different spot.

[wherethereislight]

What did you see before you entered? Or did it just appear before you could respond?

[scooba]

It just appeared before I could do anything.

Sorry, there isn't much I can say as it just seemed to appear and disappear so suddenly.

[wherethereislight]

[...] Were you thinking about anything before it appeared? A strong feeling?

[scooba]

I was thinking about going on home and wondering what to do before it appeared...

[wherethereislight]

[He thought about home before the rift appeared. He may not have caught a glimpse of what was within, but considering what everyone has claimed, safe to assume it would have shown something from their world. So does that mean it's been only targeting riftfarers? Afterall, why would it would pick on the locals when this is already their home.]

This has been informative. Hopefully it will get us closer to solving this.

[scooba]

It's not a problem.

Um...is there anything else you want from me?

[wherethereislight]

[...]

How has your training been?

[scooba]

Well?

Zack has been teaching me and while I know it could be better, I am still learning.

[wherethereislight]

Still with a claymore?

[scooba]

....Yes?

[Where was he going with this??]

[wherethereislight]

In that case, I want to see your progress. [He has yet to see this child perform with his weapon of choice.]

[scooba]

Right now? I can do that.

Just let me know where you are?

[wherethereislight]

[As nothing conclusive has come up on this yet, right now sounds good.]

Here. [He'll change this to video so Freminet can see the the town of Shellton on screen. The visual will then move showing Shadow is somewhere outside of the town, out on an open field.]

[scooba]

Okay then,...I'll see you.

[And with that, off Freminet went! In the midst of looking around for the hedgehog, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He didn't know what Shadow was planning but....]

Um...you wanted to see me?

[wherethereislight]

[Shadow stands out easily among the colorful field, making it obvious for Freminet to locate him. His arms are crossed as he looks at him once he arrived. Quiet consideration and then he starts to walk away from them.]

I want to see what you can do. [With their weapon of choice, in their comfort zone. He turns back around after putting some space between them, ready to face him.]

[scooba]

[Freminet was ready for a fight but he wasn't expecting it to happen this soon. Immediately, he put himself into a fighting position. With his Claymore in hand, he was ready to see what Shadow can do.]

Alright then. Come at me.

[wherethereislight]

[Shadow has no chill. But he did say he wanted to know how they would fare in a proper fight the last time they spoke.

Now, how does he want to approach this? Blink once and Shadow will suddenly be right before Freminet, not long after they had given the single. Fists raised, but he isn't striking. A surprise fake out to see how they would react to his opponent suddenly in strike range.]
