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.

[ no further explanation, huh... he honestly can't tell if Mika is feeling awkward about it or trying to be cagey. His gut says it's probably the first one, but... ]

Red and white would be good. Listen, you're not expecting me to serve you in return for this or something, are you?

[allforshu]

Nnah?! No, of course not! Yer-- Yer like a small, uh, furry person! I wouldn't ask anythin' from ya, promise!

[PLEASE BELIEVE HIM....... SONIC-SAN..........]

[ HMMMMMMMM...

Sonic gives him the stink eye for a few more seconds, then waves a hand with a sigh and a cheeky grin. ]

I'm messing with you. You couldn't get me to do that even if you tried! But I'm holdin' you to that promise anyway. [ a pause. ] Seriously, though? Your world must be crazy different.

[allforshu]

Eheh... Yeah, it's, uh, it's really somethin' else..~

[Sonic's world is the weird one??? But Mika slumps slightly in relief, sketching becoming less frantic.]

Um, ya seem sorta used to people, so have ya been here a while or do y'have... humans too?

[Alongside your. Weird animalpeople.]

[fastpaced]

Of course. All kinds of different people live on my world - humans included. No one ever looked at me twice until I showed up here.
