revivalproject | [Video] PSA don't become snack

Time for a spontaneous PSA! The video starts with a perhaps overly confident looking Sonic, giving his best finger gun to the camera.

"Hey everyone, Sonic here!"

The video remains on Sonic, who looks like he has more to say, but he's cut off by the voice of Donnie Ninjaturtle from offscreen who doesn't sound all that thrilled with the current shenanigans.

"Oh my g- you can't just- Sonic, you turn that thing off right now-" Putting on the parent voice, even!

"Shh, Donnie! I got this, be cool!" Sonic waves his hand in a shooing motion in Donnie's general direction before turning his attention back to his very stupid video.

"Okay everyone, listen up! I have it on good authority that someone out there has decided that eating us is socially acceptable. This is not the case. It is, in fact, very not okay!"

After a mental keymash, the turtle flails before making a grab for the hedgehog's communicator. "Not okay, this is not okay- are you seriously doing a PSA?!"

Unfortunately for Donnie, the hedgehog is small and fast, and in the blink of an eye he's suddenly standing behind the poor turtle.

"I don't see anyone else doing a PSA! How are we supposed to know there's someone dangerous out there if nobody's talking about it? Guys, be on the look out for-- uh...

"A girl.

"With. Teeth? It's uh. Not a lot to go on, is it. You really don't have anything else?"

There is a thud as Donnie had more or less made a full-on lunge and completely neglected to take into account the hedgehog's speed.

"-and ow."

He gets back up, brow twitching as he looks back at Sonic before his irritation abruptly melts into uncertainty at being put on the spot. "Wearing a dress or something? Covered in blood?" He gives an overexaggerated shrug.

Sonic at least isn't turning the communicator around to film Donnie, so he doesn't have to worry about looking like a goof on camera. The expression on Sonic's face, though, is one of realization, like it's just dawned on him that he has absolutely no plan here. It's fine, that's basically how he does everything.

"...Okay. Look out for the girl who looks like she's from every horror movie with a scary girl in it ever. You can't miss her.

"Aaaand if she happens to be listening--"

Yeah he's absolutely about to challenge her to a weird fight.

Cue Donnie dragging his hands over his face. At least until he hears that lead-in. He may not be Sonic-fast or vampire-fast but he is a ninja and with proper motivation can be fairly fast. Which is why he's on his feet and scrambling up beside his annoying pal to try throwing a hand over his mouth or his face. He needs to stop doing things with his injured one, honestly.

"-no, no! That is it! You said you would not!"

Sonic's too focused on trash talking to dodge Donnie this time, eyes going a bit wider when a turtle hand suddenly clamps over his mouth. They stay wide as Donnie reminds him that he SURE DID say he wasn't going to fist fight a terrifying girl, and he fumbles a bit to turn off his communicator. Oops, haha. It's fine, he made his PSA, that's definitely all that happened.

[Knuckles sighs. Of course they need to know, but ...

He starts at this.]

Like a vampire?!

[Sonic's a smidge off his game today. He looks absolutely flabbergasted]

Yooo, that makes way more sense than cannibals!

[Sonic plz]

Neither makes much sense! Vampires shouldn't even exist!

[And some people would say anthro animals shouldn't exist either.]

Bro. Like half the stuff here shouldn't exist. It's not that wild, is it?

[Hell, Wesker decided he was a weird cartoon character.]

It's just ... ugh! So now what?! We arm everybody with garlic?!

[Was there even any garlic there?]

I wonder if that would actually work. If nobody's growing garlic here, maybe I can get some from the replicator! Then I just have to waggle it in front of a vampire, right?

[Knuckles your friend is going to die]

I don't know! It seems too simple. Maybe it doesn't really work. Don't go taking dumb chances!

It's not dumb! It's for science! Literally the opposite of dumb!

Vampires, if they're real, are deadly! What if you get turned into a vampire's slave?! That wouldn't help any of us! It'd make the whole problem worse!

You watch too many movies, dude. It'll be fine! Vampires probably don't even have slaves!

I hardly watch any movies!

Oh yeah? Is that any stranger than garlic working?!

Apparently you watch plenty of those vampire movies!

Look, I am completely out of my element, here! I'm used to bashing robots, not horror movie clichés!

[Knuckles snarls in frustration.]

What does Donatello think about all this? It sounded like he didn't want you to post this.

Heeeee's... not a fan of me picking fights with them? So then I just won't go after them, I'll just wait for them to come to me!

[There, see. That way it won't be Sonic's fault at all!]

... How is that any better?! It'll just have the same result!

Well yeah, but this way it won't be my fault!

... Ugh. You're impossible!

Knuckles, my man, nothing's impossible if you put your mind to it!

[Wink!

Yes he knows exactly what Knuckles means, but he's still going to be a little shit about it.]

And what happens when you end up vampire bait and suddenly we have a vampire chasing us who'll always outrun us and catch us?!

Wow that would suck, huh.

However. You're assuming they could catch me, first. Please, dude. I'm a professional go-faster.

We don't know enough about real vampires to say they couldn't!

Well I guess there's only one way to find out! It's fine, if they try to chomp me, they're gonna get a mouthful of quills! I literally have natural defenses against predators!

[Knuckles sighs in exasperation, seeing it's useless.]

Fine then! Go be a fool and hope they don't have a way around that!

[Sonic also sighs, but it's less in an exasperated way and more in a realizing he's being kind of really stupid way. See, he can learn! When he feels like it.]

For the record, I don't necessarily, want to fight them? But if they come after me, then it's kind of unavoidable, right?

Yeah, I guess.

... If they show up, try to put some kind of SOS message out.

[He's good in a fight, after all.]
