putting my animation class to . good? use? was introduced to knuckles x shadow and im a huge fan

[normallish]

Knuckles tilted his head slightly at Shadow's response. He wasn't really expecting the hedgehog to open up much—but there was something about the way he spoke, the hesitation before his words, that made Knuckles pause. For how certain Shadow had seemed when they'd first met, there seemed to be doubt in his words now.

"Hm." The echidna unfolded his arms, eyes flicking away in thought. He wasn't typically one for offering advice, but after everything they had been through, it was almost as though the hedgehog was at a loss at what to do now, after it all.

Whatever it was that had affected him, it must have run deep.

"Well," He started, puffing himself up and thumping a confident fist to his chest. "I was taught by my tribe, and they always said: 'If something stops working, don't stay stuck. Adapt'."

He shrugged and looked back to the other, trying to come off as casual. He still didn't know very much about Shadow, but something about him made the warrior want to give him a chance. "Maybe you just need to try something new."

   For being the guy who charged at him head on without thinking when they had first met to now being rather thoughtful, it was enough to take Shadow a bit off guard. This supposedly added depth to Knuckles' words, so he took it in carefully.

   In a way, a lot of what the red one tells him is something he could actually relate a bit to... being motivated by a single thing, and that thing meaning everything to him. Closing off everything else, and becoming stuck due to that.

   Shadow wants to say it -- about how he also didn't know himself. To say it out-loud was... difficult, however. But it was true. He didn't really know who he was, and what helped him. Especially now.

   Instead of getting that specific, after a stretch of silence he says, ❝It used to help. Now... I'm not really sure.❞

Azul adjusted his glasses as he heard the tinkling of the bell, signaling a customer—or rather, an opportunity. He'd been setting up the last of his wares in this Kingdom he was sure would turn a profit, when the voice called out. The moment he stepped into view, his practiced smile was already in place.

"Oh, hello! And welcome, to Ashengrotto's Emporium!" His tone dripped with pleasantness, sharp eyes scanning the young woman. "Oh! Are you a lover of fine goods, maybe?" His gaze then flicked to the faint scuffs on her armor. "Or maybe… a tired traveler seeking a break?"

"But where are my manners?" He bowed with rehearsed finesse. "Azul Ashengrotto, at your service. Supplier of rare goods, and solutions to problems of every kind!" He straightened up and clasped his hands together, watching her reaction eagerly. There was something about her that radiated importance—and importance often meant profit. "How can I help you today?"

@normallish plotted starter!

"Uuuuuuuugh!" A grooooooaaaaan came from a very annoyed Kloi as she walked into the village that day, tired from yet another Bog attack.

The little green monsters had been getting MUCH more aggressive as of recent. And since they were especially dangerous in hordes, one could imagine how that was. At least she had the light magic to combat them...

But as much as Kloi liked fighting the little pains-in-the-butt, there was only so much that could be taken before even she was beginning to get overwhelmed with every battle fought and (sometimes barely) won. And that's exactly what her Pixie, Powder, was hearing about as they walked through the streets of the kingdom, the marketplace being particularly busy that day.

"It's like they just don't get it! If only they could grasp the basic concept of 'Hey, our boss is dead, we may as well give up while we have no leader!' Honestly, you think they'd do that instead of throwing everything they might have left at us at random times! I swear, at this rate I'm going to--"

Her rant is stopped halfway, and she quickly stops walking when she notices something: it seemed that someone had set up shop in the village plaza, with a decorated wagon and everything. Kloi squinted at the big sign painted on the front, which read 'Ashengrotto's emporium', and blinked a few times. She'd never seen them before, what were they were all about? And how long would they be here? And did they at least like it in the kingdom so far?

Kloi curiously wandered towards the wagon with Powder urging her to be cautious all the while as they approached, standing on a rock to reach the tall countertop. She rung the bell on the desk a few times before calling out to see if anyone was inside. "Hello?"

Oop. Maybe he shouldn't have gone straight into the sales pitch right off the bat. The fox tried to hide his surprise with a quick laugh, like he had no idea what the other was talking about.

"Fake?! No way, friend! My art is one-hundred-percent genuine! In fact, you can inspect it yourself! I got nothing to hide." It was a good thing he kept a few genuine pieces for just such occasions. "Y'know, I bet it was ol' Nook Isabelle heard that from, right? He can get so competitive with me sometimes! But really, I'm just trying to make a living, the same as all you fine folks!"

@normallish || continued from here.

   His expression remains stoic as he looks the weird fox over, his whiskers twitching slightly. ❝What does 'art' have to do with this?❞ Then he gasps with understanding, his eyes widening. ❝You're the guy Isabelle warned us about, aren't you? You sell fake art.❞

[normallish]

Knuckles blinked in surprise, tilting his head slightly as he tried to process her words. Echidna…? … Here? The thought baffled him. The only Echidna he'd ever known were the ones from his tribe—long gone now; ever since he was a child. The thought that others still existed stirred something in him. Curiosity...? Hope?

When she laid down beside him, bringing them closer to eye level, Knuckles felt his shoulders relax further. He was so used to towering enemies; this gesture of equality was… welcome. It was comforting in a way he hadn't expected. Her presence was soothing, and for once, he felt the weight of responsibility easing off of his shoulders. He could simply be there with her, and not worry.

"Echidna live here?" He ventured to ask, voice tinged with disbelief. "Could I meet them?! Could you introduce me?!" He questioned, more eagerly and forcefully than he would have liked to.

Echidna? She was somewhat familiar with echidna....she had at least one pair who lived in her wood. They just had a pair of puggles, if she recalled properly. Though they didnt look like /this/. They were small, and squat little creatures....and certainly not the color of poppies.

"I am familiar with echidna, a small group live here in our wood and I recall they just had some young of their own. I am not familiar with Mobius, nor a master emerald." She mused, deciding to lay down beside Knuckles so she wasnt towering over him. It put them closer to eye level with eachother.

"You are not intruding." The Unicorn assured him. "All creatures, known to me or not, are welcome in mine and my brothers wood. You are welcome to stay as long as you like, Knuckles."

@allnostalgic → KNUCKLES to RIVET!

Zurkie's was a lively galactic hotspot, and the echidna warrior had been drawn to it by word of mouth. He'd heard rumors that it was a hub for travelers across galaxies, and Knuckles arrived in hopes of finding a lead on the Master Emerald. With so many different species gathering in one place, it seemed like the perfect spot to gather intel. But right now... he was distracted.

Knuckles leaned forward, fists resting on the edge of the viewing window as the battle below raged on. His eyes gleamed with excitement, his usual stoicism giving way to a genuinely enthused grin. Glancing at the alien beside him—a gray creature with large ears and a striped tail—he spoke excitedly.

"This place is incredible! I almost want to join them! Is it always this exciting here, or did I come at the best time?"

[normallish]

Knuckles folded his arms, studying Shadow for a moment. For all they had been through, trust between them was still tentative. Yet, Shadow had done the right thing in the end... Sonic and Tails—his friends (a term he was still adjusting to)—had once extended a hand to him when they had been enemies. Perhaps he could do the same.

"Motivated? Hmm." The word made him pause. He had never been one to offer advice, but he recognized something deeper in Shadow’s words—something familiar. "My whole life, I've been motivated by duty. It was everything to me—and still is! But things changed..."

"I closed myself off to everything. I didn't even know how stuck I was, until recently." His gaze returned to Shadow, expression neutral but understanding. "But I don't know you. If whatever this 'motivation' is helps you, then that's good." After all, each warrior had their own ways of coping, and Shadow's seemed to be one he still carried with him.

   At times, when it was quiet -- he would stare off, watching something that wasn't quite there. Living in those memories; stuck in the past. It seemed even after saving the world, some of that anger remained. But most of it came out in a bitterness; a certain sort of heavy weight that had no outlet. It made him seem more calm on the outside, though that war still raged within.

   His gaze focuses before he looks to the echidna once verbally prodded. Shadow wasn't used to having others like him around, and he wasn't sure if he ever would. At the very least they tried to welcome him, but Shadow still felt that disconnect.

   ❝... it depends. Usually, it just keeps me-- motivated.❞ That was a kinder word for it.

[normallish]

Her voice was like a gentle melody, soothing and calming in a way Knuckles had never experienced before. Never in all his travels had he encountered a creature so… peaceful. It was as if her very presence was a balm to the tension that often churned inside him.

What was she?

"Unicorn?" He echoed, the word unfamiliar on his tongue. He had heard something like it before, perhaps in passing, but he'd never truly understood what it meant. Curiosity sparked within him, drawing his focus entirely. He stared at her, caught off guard by the calming aura she exuded. It was unusual for him to lose concentration so easily, but her tone washed over him like cool water after a long battle; easing his mind in a way he hadn't realized he needed.

It was only when she asked him who he was, that he snapped back to attention.

"Me? Oh, yes! I am Knuckles—Echidna warrior, and last of my tribe!" He pounded a proud fist against his chest. "I come from Mobius, travelling the planets in search of the Master Emerald. But I've never been to a place quite like this before. It's… peaceful." He had been enjoying the tranquility, but there didn't seem to be any sign that the Emerald was nearby. "But if I'm intruding, I will go."

@normallish from here

Oh great, where was he now? He had been searching for the Master Emerald, hopping from strange place to strange place. but this must have been the strangest place he'd been to in a while. In that… it was so peaceful. It was tranquil. A forest glade with such tranquility in the air, that he just had to take a moment to stand there and appreciate it. It was so odd to him to be taken off-guard, but he'd been in an almost meditative state when the gentle noise of something behind him had him suddenly flinching in surprise, turning his head quickly to be stunned to see the—well, surprisingly stunning creature behind him. For a moment, he only stared, locking eyes with her in silent shock as he processed the moment. But, strangely (very strange for someone who had been used to fighting for so long), he felt at ease in the other's presence. Something about the gentleness of her eyes had his tense posture slackening; and he simply asked:

"Who are you?"

"Hello young one" The mythical beast cooed in a melodious yet soft voice. It was not often she came across something completely unknown to her, as old as she is, but this? This small, bright red creature was completely foreign to her.

"I am one of the Unicorns of this wood. Who are you?" She parroted the question back to him. The sense of him, made her not expect him to know her or her name; yet also didnt expect him to be bound to the rules of men regarding her.

He had a sort of magic of his own, that much was clear to her unfooled eyes, however it was not the same. He was not a brother of hers in magic yet she felt drawn to this obviously (to her) young creature.

The Unicorn approached Knuckles, unafraid, to give him a proper little sniff. Gently nudging her velveteen muzzle against the Echidna's forehead.

"You do not smell like a creature from my same magic, little one. Where are you from?"
