[Video] Gotta whine fast

[What's up, kids. Hope you like THE SKY, because this video opens just starin' right up at it. Not for too long, though, as the guy responsible for this dumb video realizes pretty quickly that he's holding his device backwards and flips it around, revealing a weird blue critter that appears to be laying on his back on a roof. Why??? I mean why not. Y'all are in the mood for a bitchy teenager, right? Well too bad.]

Okay, I'm about to make a less than great first impression to anyone I haven't already bumped into yet, but sometimes you just gotta complain into the void, y'know? Here goes;

[he pauses to clear his throat, and then commences the bitching]

So, I can deal with being kidnapped by aliens, right? That's fine, I guess. Happens to the best of us, keeps life interesting, whatever. I can roll with the unexpected. I can mostly tolerate being tossed onto a dumpy, abandoned planet with extremely limited travel options. I mean, that's less fine than being kidnapped by aliens, but at least this tiny chunk of space we have doesn't have any speed limits. Fine, I can cope.

But, the thing about this that's completely unacceptable is that apparently, I missed a big fight with a bunch of monsters? Seriously!? I've seen movies, aliens aren't supposed to abduct you after the danger's passed. Where's the fun in that? Do our alien overlords accept feedback? I wanna file a complaint!

[Maybe this guy's priorities are just a little skewed. It's fine. He sighs, a little overly dramatic (because missing a monster fight is absolute bullshit), the video jostling a bit as he shrugs.]

Ah well. Anyway! The name's Sonic. I guess if you guys need help with cleanup after all that, hit me up? I have nothing but free time on my hands right now, and I'm already bored out of my mind.

Hahaha -no, although that might've taken care of the problem a lot quicker, albeit make new ones.

[He would have to agree to the yuck, really.]

That would be super concerning if there were robots with gooey centers- unless of course that robot is a cyborg.

As much as I like getting things done quick, yeeeeah. Pretty glad you guys didn't go the kaboom route.

Well if it was a cyborg, then it wouldn't be a robot, would it? That's still an organic... flesh person. But with like metal chunks on 'em. Unless all the cybernetics were on the inside?

Eyew...! That sounds like a nightmare. I mean, I guess it's not impossible. Medical science is pretty amazing these days, at least back home, but I don't think we've quite gotten to the point of complete replacement of internal organs and bone structures.

Nightmare, yes, but definitely not impossible. I've seen that kinda thing before, but it sure wasn't used in any helpful medical way.

...okay that sounds concerning. Well, more than concerning.

Yeah, it's not great. I guess these things just happen when a mad scientist decides he wants to one up a madder scientist.

Iiii shall make note in the event that I ever come across more than one mad scientist.

[By default one of them would be him, let's face it.]

I'm not too worried about it here, honestly. Far as I can tell, resources here are pretty limited. Even the maddest of scientists would struggle in a place like this.

It's true, this place leaves a lot to be desired. But I've only been here... [He pauses, thinking about it before making a face- not as long as some but still too long in his book-] ...yeck, maybe two months or so now? The whole daylight hours thing is really throwing me off.

Two months? I've been here like two days, and I'm already losing my mind!

[Not really, he's just being dramatic. Probably.]

Oh man, you don't know the half of it. No real internet, no movies or pizza or video games? Ugh I really needa do something about that last one at least. There's gotta be...something around here.

Ugh, dude. You are crushing my spirits right now.

Wait, you're sayin' you can program games?

Misery loves company.

Well, I could but it's like you said, resources are limited. I'm still trying to rebuild a decent computer so that I can do things other than just talk to people and look up badly named informational entries.

I think there was an arcade listed on the map. I have not actually gotten around to checking it out yet, however so I am not sure if it's like...video game arcade or arched walkway arcade.

Okay, but dude?

Dude.

We should totally go check it out. Even if it's not video games, it'll still be more interesting to look at than... basically all of the other stuff I've seen so far.

[...okay, an excellent point.]

I concur.

The name's Donnie, by the way. Iii will meet you there?

Nice to meet ya, Donnie! See you when you get there!

[Sonic hangs up and jumps off the roof, because that's safe. It probably takes him about twenty seconds to find the arcade, aaand he's gonna chill and wait for Donnie.]

[Yeah, Donnie's not getting there in twenty seconds.

The turtle would be at least a little faster if he had his flight shell. Of course it wouldn't nearly reach Sonic's speed but it'd make getting to and from places a lot easier. He's still working on a replacement and only wishes it had been ready before that whole quadruple threat of monsters.

He's a little sore from the fight and sports a few bandages, some of which have been awkwardly applied to the lower end of his leathery-looking shell, but he can still walk and all in all figures things could've gone much worse.

But it is still exhausting getting around, and he's feeling a little winded as he leans against his tech-bō.]

This place really needs transports...! -oh hey.

[Ok but a flying turtle would be cool as hell.

Sonic's pacing around a little by the time Donnie gets there, not so much because he's bored or impatient, he's just constantly full of pent up energy. He stops when the bigass turtle approaches, wincing a bit once he gets a better look at him. Poor guy didn't look this thumped up on camera.]

Oof. You look a bit rough, buddy. I kinda feel bad about dragging you out here, you gonna be okay?

[Donnie waves a hand.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Just looks worse than it actually is. If giant monsters are going to be a constant around here maybe I should look into building a battle suit.

Well, even so, take five if you need to. I'm not in a hurry or anything.

[He's never not in a hurry, but he's not going to rush someone who is clearly recovering from injuries. That would just be rude.]

Could you build a battle suit?

You sure? 'cuz you were practically wearing a hole here.

[Still, Donnie doesn't dismiss the suggestion. He gives a big ol' sigh as he leans against his staff for a moment before finally straightening up to roll out his shoulders and unhunch his back with a groan. ]

Here? It'd probably be difficult. See: earlier conversation about resources. Usually I just stick to battle shells. Mine's not really optimal for protective purposes otherwise. At least a replacement for the one that didn't come with me is in progress.

Oh, that? Nah, that was me being patient.

[Imagine how annoying he'd be if he were in a hurry. He manages to stand still while he's chatting with Donnie, at least.]

So what exactly is a battle shell? Does it just protect your back? Or can it like shoot missiles or something?

[Donnie lifts a brow at that, but the end of his lips quirks just slightly.]

Right...

[He brightens at the prospect of being able to explain his tech. It's just too bad he has no visual aids.]

Well, I have several different designs that I can swap out to better suit my needs for a given situation. My default is usually my flight shell, equipped with rotors that allow me to fly and hover.

...missiles would be pretty useful but I'd probably only be able to equip one with so many. Anyway, the battle shells are meant to be armor and support equipment. My tech-bō is my primary weapon.

[He gives the purple and silver staff a fond pat.]

That's pretty awesome, I bet building something like that isn't easy. Sounds like you see a lot of action, huh?

[If Sonic is at all bored by the nerdy tech talk, he doesn't show it. His little bro slash bff Tails is the biggest tech nerd he knows (that isn't all evil like the other biggest tech nerd he knows), so he's gotten pretty good at rolling with the nerd outs.

He does seem a bit confused by the tech-bō, though.]

A stick? I mean, it's a cool lookin' stick...

No, definitely not something you can slap together without the proper know-how.

[Is he bragging? Just a bit.]

But yes, I guess I do, more or less. But my brothers and I are ninja...

[And then he gasps at the afront of his beloved stick- er, tech-boō.]

A stick.

But can a stick do thi- oh...wait. I still need to recharge it. Well, in any case, it is more than just a "cool lookin' stick."
