No Mario but Definitely Sonic at the Agra 10 Dork Olympics 2023 (& Knuckles)
WHO: Sonic & OPEN to whoever wants to deal with Sonic
WHERE: Sports Day!!!!
WHAT: Sports and Sports Accessories
WHEN: When Sports
WARNINGS:Excessive Sports
Balloon Pop
A random day of quasi-sports is probably the last thing Sonic expected to encounter after being abducted by aliens, but here we are. Definitely weird, but at least their abductors are trying to keep them entertained? Might as well roll with it and see where it goes.
He'd have an unfair advantage over most people when it came to competitions involving going fast, so he decides to branch out a bit and do some things that might use skills that he hasn't already mastered. BUT THEN, he comes across the balloon popping game and decides it would be funny to see how fast he can pop them by just curling into a ball, sitting in one place, and letting the balloons idly come into contact with his quills. See, that way it's testing his patience more than his speed, patience counts as a skill and it's one that he's kind of terrible at. Either way it proves to be a surprisingly effective balloon popping strategy, but eventually there are just a few balloons left and he does have to roll around a bit to get to them.
So. Yeah, there's a little blue spike ball covered in glitter and balloon scrap rolling around the balloon zone. Nothing weird to see here, kids. He might need help getting all the balloon scraps out of his quills when he's done.
Climbing Wall
Of course he could just run up and down the wall like it's no big deal, but where's the challenge in that? He's gonna climb this wall the way climbing walls are meant to be climbed! Which turns out to be no simple feat since a lot of the hand holds are juuust a bit out of reach for such a small dude. He can manage if he hops for some of them, but he is not progressing up the wall very quickly.
Of course, he's willing to cheat just to show up anyone else he catches cheating, he can't help that competitive streak.
Prizes
As Sonic really doesn't have any super important items from home, and hasn't taken an interest in any ot the other prizes available (Clothes?? What's he gonna do, wear pants??), he's literally just giving his points away. While taking a lunch break, he's seated on a table (Yes ON a table. Are there tables? There are now.), trying to figure out why his pizza bagel things taste like peanuts and occasionally waggling a plastic cup full of chits at people as they pass by.
"Yo, free prize point thingies! I don't really need 'em."
The chits he's giving away are mostly low value, maybe a few medium and high value depending on what games he inevitably gets pulled into. He's not really keeping track.
Whatever else
He's not super interested in team sports for himself, but if he can help other people win prizes, then he'd be happy enough to join in if asked. Three legged race might be a bit awkward? But y'know, YOLO. He's fast, he can be anywhere. Literally he's just zooming around the place looking around.

"Heh, you're really making me reflect on myself a lot, here. Nobody I hang out with back home really understands it, and the only ones I can think of that might are either standoffish jerks most of the time, or literally trying to murder me. Being able to actually talk about it with someone who gets it is pretty cool."
no subject
"There are plenty of speedsters back home. Not all of them are 'physical' types like me. And not all of them have the whole time dilation shit going on. But I spoke to my Uncle about it once. He got trapped in a second during a surge of his powers when he was trying to save the world. I still don't know how he didn't go mad."
Then again Pietro was like that. But Sonic isn't wrong. It is nice to have someone understand it right away. Like he'd told David once when the guy said he was lucky to have a shitty computer parts assembly gig: snails never get it.
"People don't live like we do, we're out numbered. We have to fit into their society. Which isn't so bad the majority of the time. But sometimes people look at what I can do with jealousy. They don't get out in a way it's miserably lonely and tedious. Because the world isn't made for us."
He ran because he could but also because he needed to not be still. If he wasn't going to fit into their timing he should find a time for himself.
no subject
"Wait, trapped in a second? How does that even work? What does that even mean? Man, however this all works where you're from sounds like it's way over my head."
How complicated can going fast be? Evidentially very. Sounds sciency, that's more Tails's area than his.
"Guess I've never thought about it bein' lonely before. I mean, I've got tons of friends, right? But I guess I do spend a lot of time by myself, just going places, and none of them can keep up. Well, apart from the aforementioned standoffish jerk and the chick that's trying to kill me, but I don't think they'd make for great road trip company."
no subject
The guy is a palette swap of him, and he's amused by that.
"Time was frozen for Pietro is what it means. Absolutely and utterly alone, inescapably for a while."
Tommy hated the very idea of it. He hated being alone. And he hates it so much and it makes him think about all of this.
"You at least don't need to be alone here. We've got each other, blue-dude."
no subject
Let's get a wholeass magic show going on up in here right???
"Whoof, I like how you followed the most horrifying thing I've ever heard in my life up with the sappiest thing I've ever heard in my life. That's some serious tonal whiplash there, bud."
He's like half joking.
no subject
"What," Tommy says, sounding concerned. Or he did at first. Then he was grinning. "Couldn't keep up with me?"
no subject
Sonic sees that shitty grin and he is thoroughly unamused! "Psh, as if. I'm picking up what you're putting down no problem!"
no subject
"I should leave you alone to mission 'lose the tokens', right?"
no subject
"Y'know, I think I've figured out what I'm gonna do with them."
What is that, you may ask? Why, hop off the table and zoom off somewhere, of course. The catch being that he attempts to put his cup of tokens on top of Tommy's head on his way to the ground. Whether it makes it there or not apparently isn't that important to him as he's just gone, but either way the tokens aren't his problem anymore.
no subject
Then he curses.
"Oh no you don't!"
Then he was racing after the hedgehog. Damn but he felt alive like this.
no subject
Too late NERD. As far as Sonic can tell, they're pretty evenly matched in terms of speed. Sonic has a head start, but Tommy's been here longer and knows the area better, this could really go either way.
They're probably going to be at this bullshit for a while, aren't they.
sound okay to wrap this up?
"Little punk!"
Yes this is perfect
