*Mother’s Day, or any family day for that matter, is rough on Cocoa. It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t constantly brought up what day it is, but hearing “Happy Mother’s Day!” and “I think I’ll get [insert object] for my Mom for Mother’s Day” over and over again grates on his nerves like a meat grinder tearing into his emotions. He hates being reminded that he doesn’t have a mother anymore, a family anymore. He hates being reminded that he used to have 15 other people connected to him by upbringing and by blood and now it’s just him. He hates remembering the fire that killed 14 of them and the machine accident that killed the last one. He hates everything that comes with this day.*

*….Today is one of those days of the year that nothing can separate Cocoa from working, innovating, repairing, planning… from distracting himself…*

Ooc: Things have gotten pretty overwhelming in my personal life. There’s just too much to do and it’s getting hard to stay updated on others’ lore, so I’m going to have to stop initiating roleplay and updates are going to come out much slower. Pictures will still include color, as that is a fundamental part of my style. I apologize

[cocoathehare]

*Cocoa is a little relieved that his initial assumptions were correct. Cocoa says* “I’m Cocoa, currently co-General of the ITEM Project, but when I last saw you, I was just a prominent mechanic that worked with you a lot. I guess you must not recognize me because of the new rip in my ear.” *Cocoa pauses.* "Do you wish to get back to Glorious Future Emperor Doctor Eggman? I think we have some warp rings back at the base you could use to get back to Eggpire main.” *Of course, Cocoa didn’t mean to use that long-winded title, but he was so used to using it around badniks to abate suspicion that it had become habit. Nevertheless, the intent was clear. If Infinite wanted to return to Eggman, he could.* 

*Cocoa awkwardly backs away. Why does this jackal sound exactly like Infinite and look like him? If he was him, he would recognize the hare that he spent so much time getting surgically altered by, so it can’t be him, but they still don’t really know where the body went, so- No, it’s not him. It’s not probable. Yet, for a Mobian to respond with such docility to someone who is so obviously part of the Eggpire is so strange. Cocoa backs away some more and says* “I’m sorry for wasting your time, sir. You just looked exactly like a presumed-dead former comrade of mine, and I… I suppose I mistook you for him.”

OOC: I would appreciate this, especially right now, when it’s hard to turn out pages at a consistent basis

Please reblog this if it’s okay for me to just pop into your ask box to RP with you even if you haven’t reblogged a meme because I just want to RP with you

“One water nuke gets everyone one time, and furthermore, he may not actually get to use it without toning it down. You see, the thing about a water nuke is that, given just how much water it spreads, if it is not modified to be less effective, it will inflict property damage -something I’m sure you guys’ parents wouldn’t be fond of- and may drown those attacked by it. Furthermore, the fundamental mechanisms of a nuke mean that any water it spreads will be filled with nuclear radiation, which is VERY dangerous. Tails is supposed to be smart, so him using such a weapon would be hard to believe, at least without heavy modification. Nevertheless, since you are so insistent to the point of wasting time, and I am minded to see Tails suffer even if he isn’t exactly my Tails, here’s something I happened to keep in my head and later copy in my new life.” *Cocoa sends Lex blueprints for an infinite water landmine for water fights*

Uhhhh.... are water land mines a thing? Asking for a friend-

[cocoathehare]

My identity is irrelevant to you. Anyway, for a battle such as yours, I suggest just using regular water balloons and water buckets. You’ll find that, though they may be simple, they are the most efficient. I know because, when I had a family, the one that always won water fights was the one that stuck to old reliable

Uhhhh.... are water land mines a thing? Asking for a friend-

[cocoathehare]

“Yes.”

“…”

“a little hard to build, though.” “Unless you’re talking about Naval mines. They aren’t as bad in my experience, but they have a different purpose.”

“Ah, well, thank you for attempting to help.” *Cocoa states. He feels the urge to pat its head, but decides not to, not wanting to provoke it. He then looks out toward the rest of the island.* “Well, I’m going to explore, so, goodbye, for now at least.” *Cocoa stands up and begins to walk* “There’s no shame in playing with creepy-crawlies, by the way. My sister used to love playing with worms too, and beetles, and that was never the thing that hurt her.” 

-> a droid stands there, soft blue laytex and metal covering its every inch. it had red eyes, prominent ears, and a large ‘T.U.’ sign on its hands. you watch it as it plays around, fidgeting with a small worm? it looks familiar, but you’re not sure.

maybe you should talk to it, but if it is the person you are thinking, should you run away? call sonic? or just leave it be?

then again, it might not be who you’re thinking about. hmm. you don’t have anything else to do today, so maybe you should talk to it?<-

[cocoathehare]

*Its behavior stimulates a soft, endeared smile in Cocoa, who respects his embarrassment and changes the subject.* “Hey, do you know if this island is mobile or stationary?”

*Ah so English is its language of choice…* “What were you doing with it?” *Cocoa asks in a friendly tone.*

(Translation: I’m surprised to see the worm is still alive… Do you know what species it is from?)” *Cocoa isn’t quite sure what languages the test unit speaks, but no badnik he’s met hasn’t understood binary, for obvious reasons.*

💚 @cocoathehare (except Cocoa is not just a little jealous. He is deeply jealous of both Starlight’s freedom and Starlight’s strength, but luckily isn’t too malicious about it) 

While she would understand why he'd be jealous, she wouldn't hold it against him. She'd even offer to be a friend, if he wanted. Or even a guardian of some sort considering he's still a child from what I've read on your rules page

[cocoathehare]

*Cocoa feels almost relieved that the test unit didn’t notice his misguided greeting. After all, prototypes and defective models tend to be more volatile and violent toward Eggstaff. Nevertheless, something about the robot’s behavior intrigues him, so against better judgment, Cocoa gets a little closer to make a visual analysis of the worm, himself, while trying not to make himself more intrusive in the process.*

*Cocoa is scouting one of the islands off the coast, first trying to assess if it’s stationary or mobile, and then it’s population and resources, not realizing quite yet that it contains badnik rejects, when his eye land on the test unit.* “Oh, Metal Sonic, what are you doing here- hm… A Test Unit, huh?”

Well thats Mermay for ya💔

*Cocoa has to strategize for how sand tends to cave in, so he digs at the top of the dune and digs from the outside inward. He can feel Chamomile yelling through his earpiece about how he should have just sent those delegated under him and whatnot. It’s part of why he was given a robot partner, so that the new leadership in the Mazuri conquest would be able to be harsh on its members. Even without any encounters wherein Cocoa was fully honest in his speech, Glorious Future Emperor Eggman knew him well when he sent him to this task; he supposes he should feel lucky for and respect that. However, he’s made it clear to Chamomile by now that he wants to give those under him a more comfortable and less painful position than he’s had, so he keeps digging and digging until he reaches his destination, a motobug in disrepair, sand lodged between its wheels and computer components. Cocoa’s eyes soften in relief as he heaves the robot that is barely shorter than him and twice his width. His voice is cracked and croaky from dehydration, but he says* “haha, don’t worry, little guy, we’ll get you reprogrammed to prevent this from happening again. You’re okay,” *sounding almost as if he is trying to reassure a shut-down robot that can’t even hear him.*

*Cocoa trudges through the desert, looking for the lost motobug. The sand covers every inch of every acre of the area, probably sitting on top of the motobug too, yet Cocoa still searches, knowing that if he can’t find the robot, he will be given the penalty. The heat pulls down at him, giving the ground a harness, making him wish internally that the uniforms weren’t always mandatory- of course, Eggman had to brand him somehow, and didn’t want to tattoo children, as their growth would stretch the image of his ‘beautiful’ face. Cocoa finds the area that the metal detector screeches at and begins to dig into the dune. Delirious from the heat, as well as numerous other factors, however, he fails to notice the approaching master of fire nearby.*

The desert heat not being an issue to him. Apollo leans over curiously to see what was going on.
