voice, around lunchtime

[fastpaced]

Hey guys! Sonic here! What's happenin'?!

[ the energetic voice of a teenage boy rings out in everyone's minds loud and clear. Without an image, there's no reason to assume it belongs to a short, anthropomorphic rodent. But it does. After being here for a few months, however, he's learned it's easier to talk to people if they don't have to deal with the shock of seeing him. ]

Just thought I'd pop in and say hi... oh, and ask for a hand. Anyone wanna help a guy build a ramp outside the apartments? All you gotta do is help me move some snow around! I'm working on it myself, but things go pretty slow with just one hog on the job. It'll be worth it when we're done, though, promise! Plus, I got a bunch of juice boxes to share with anyone who helps.

[ it's definitely capri sun. ]

Oh, and one other thing. Anyone had any luck finding winter clothes that aren't made for humans? I'm freezing over here.

I mean... sort of! Snow can weigh a lot more than people realize, but you also weigh more than snow, Sonic. After all, you are not small.

[ ...i mean he's short. but still probably weighs more than snow? ] If you really want to see for yourself, though, I can make a pile for you to play in, silly!

[ this is why he needs tails ]

Now you're making me sound like a little kid. Not that it's not fun playing in a big pile of snow. [ a hum. ] This might be more complicated than I thought it'd be... Aw, man.

[witchhooded]

[ ooohhh, this could be fun >:) ]

Hehe, could have fooled me. With all that youthful energy, I would never have assumed you were an old bag of wind!

Hey now! You know I'm a hip teenage dude! It's not my fault I wanna do something cool with all this snow.

[witchhooded]

Hehehe!! I also think it is pretty cool, and I'm a hip teenage dude! In the girl way, I mean. I just turned seventeen, but it's not much different from sixteen if you ask me.

[ no one asked. ]

So we are both pretty capable of handling this slightly more complicated than expected predicament, Sonic! I bet you will catch onto the physics of it all pretty quick.

[fastpaced]

Huh? Really? Hey, happy birthday! You shoulda said something.

[ BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. ]
