[Open] there goes the neighborhood

WHO: Sonic & Knuckles YOU
WHERE: Temba, The Warrens
WHAT: That Time a Volcano Happened
WHEN: All Over August
WARNINGS: None, will update if needed



1. Lava Reef City Zone Act 1: August 10th, early morning

With one guy giving kinda vague instructions and another guy TYPING AS LOUD AS HE COULD (???) on the network, and the alien lady hopping on the network giving equally vague and harder to understand instructions, all saying to get everyone underground (instead of evacuating which would have made more sense to Sonic but hey, not his clown, not his circus), the hedgehog springs into action pretty much immediately. Well actually, he was just woken up in the middle of the night by his communicator screeching at him, so he's less springing into action and more groaning and rolling his eyes at the clock and stumbling out of bed into action, but hey, he's still quick about it. Either way, he's up and hitting the streets, peeking into places he knows some people to hang out if he doesn't already see them up and about, knocking on doors and windows and stuff, y'know just being as annoying as he can be since this is kind of an emergency.

"Helloooo, you awake in there? It's kinda Doomsday, you might wanna get up."

He doesn't sound too urgent, but that's just because he has a pretty skewed sense of danger. They have ten whole hours! It's not even a big deal. (It's a pretty big deal.)

2. Lava Reef City Zone Act 2: August 10th, too close to explode time lol

Oookay actually, it turns out they don't have quite as much time to prepare and get to where they need to be as Sonic thought. Just because he doesn't own anything that he's attached to enough to want to move to the mines doesn't mean nobody else does, and as far as he can tell, that's what seems to be slowing people down the most. The earthquakes aren't really helping. As stupid as being out here is, Sonic's still out and about looking for stragglers, and he's not shy at all about running right up on anyone he finds.

"Hey, we're kind of about to die? Do you need help moving anything? I can carry a lot more than I look like I can, load me up!"

3. Sonic Underground (no not that one): The remainder of August, wooo hooo

3a: This is weird and cramped and it sucks and Sonic's always hungry and he hates it, but he tries not to complain too much. They are, after all, alive, and Sonic is of course grateful for the little fungus dudes and the creepy looking little berry guys. Since he's cut off from the outside and is thus pretty much incapable of moving around like he's used to, he spends a pretty significant amount of his time just watching them do their thing and trying to find ways to help them out. Which would be easier if he could, y'know, communicate with them? Maybe someone can try to help him figure out what these little dudes are saying so he can actually be helpful.

3b: The rest of the time he's on the look out for people to hang out with or drag into exploring with him, but a lot of the time he just vanishes and heads deeper into The Warrens to explore by himself. Which is probably not the smartest thing to do, seeing as this place is basically a maze. It's probably fine, though.

Except that he's completely lost. Not bothered by it, though. It's just an excuse to explore further in, right? (How has he survived LIFE for this long?) Anyone else that's out this way for whatever reason may run into Sonic following pipes, standing on machinery (why???), creeping around in dark rooms looking for anything he might be able to bring back with him, or checking out the big, mysterious blast doors. And by 'checking out', I mean spin dashing into and bouncing off of, to no avail. Weird that they're here, right?
