[Shadow hasn't set up his voicemail properly, so there's just a cheerful robotic voice]

Hello! You have reached the voice mail box of [an excessively long pause, then, in Shadow's voice] "....... Shadow? Was that ri--" Please leave a message after the tone!

*BEEEEEP*

[there's a lot to unpack in this message. Yet another Shadow. Sonic has already bothered him. He's very angry. But most importantly--]

what on earth is "tol"

[sonic_wachowski]

I have GOT to show you memes.
It means tall.
I think he's got a foot on us.

[lightremains]

and what are "memes"

[you know he's absolutely pronouncing it "me me's" in his head]

Oh. Tall. Why didn't you just write that? what is he angry about?

[sonic_wachowski]

[....listen, some of us did that for a long while, he's valid.]

Uuuuuuh

Think of it as like slang, but on the internet and involves pictures or videos sometimes?

Because the memes, Shadow.

Dunno.
He was being all grumpy edgy not communicating about that.
He might want to destroy all Sonic's????
Except he only hit me once and not even that hard.
Like I would rate you pinning me to the glass as higher hurt.
But he went on about how he want to destroy all universes where I am and I dunno if that was a
'you are annoying me, so I'm just going to say that to try and be intimidating'
or a
'I have projected my Sonic onto all Sonic's so wanting to destroy our universe because of him means I want to destroy all universes with him.'
Jury's still out, I was still trying to peg down his anger versus hurt levels

[lightremains]

[..... nope. Slang with pictures and videos? That still doesn't make any sense. But he's made peace with Not Understanding many things. Theses "me mes" would probably be one of them]

If you say so.

It sounds like he has some things he needs to work out on his own. Obviously he cannot be allowed to destroy all universes, if he is being serious.

[sonic_wachowski]

Definitely not. We are not letting him destroy universes.
I'm keeping an eye on him anyway.
I don't think he's gonna ask for help and with his attitude, it might be a while before he makes a relationship with someone he'll be in close contact with.
So someone's gotta keep him from turning to stone.
If I provoke him enough, I can get a better read on his whole deal AND he gets his touch energy in.
Also I'm still pretty sure projecting is involved and he's not good natured about it and that makes it like ten times more annoying.
Makes me want to fight him.

[lightremains]

If he's anything like me, he won't ask for help until something breaks. But I suppose that is his right.

Just don't get hurt. His touch energy isn't your responsibility. Some people learn best from direct consequences anyway.

[speaking from experience......]

You don't have to fix everyone.

[sonic_wachowski]

That is the concern and that is unfortunately his vibe.
If he takes it too far, then I'll adjust my strategy.
Kind of curious to see how quickly he picks up my clockwork check ups and if he figures it out.
And see his response then.
That can also be telling.
He seems pretty impatient though and real easy to miss stuff like that.






I know.
Just
It's hard when it's another hedgehog
Heh, spend your whole life being the only one and you want to make sure all the others are in one piece at least
I know everyone else can and are willing to take care of themselves
Even you'll let me get in your space often enough even if you don't like it much
I dunno if his pride will let him without forcing the issue
