"You can mostly talk at him. Other than saying names and signing to ask if we're safe, he doesn't say much else. I'm sure it's likely because he's spending a lot of what's conscious, making sure he doesn't lose that." Umbra replied, sighing heavily. He hears Kollossus whine and gently brings the larger deity around off of his back so he can sit down. There's a pretty decent show, of course, that Umbra doesn't get much sleep as he watched Vector's camera.

"The fire would help with... with the stage 5s." Umbra mumbled, rubbing at his own temple as he tried to dull his emotions more. Being around the other survivors and knowing Sonic is conscious and so others might be too has taken its toll on the ebony hedgehog.

"Stage 5s produce an infectious gas that lingers in the air. It never reaches the islands elevation because it and the caustic elements in the gas are simply too dense to rise high enough. He'd...be best for the Melters. Though he should still wear carbon fiber on his hands. There's some things around that still let you use your claws through it. If only because the contamination of the zombots when they get turned into gooey puddles won't stick to it. Meaning he won't accidentally bring any back."

Tired eyes look away from the cams, "Just the same, in case you can still be carriers and so becomes vectors... those of you who need to breathe air due to being organic in body will have to wear gas masks when you go down along with the carbon fiber. There's some safe areas you can take them off below, but with how many Stage 5s are around and Big being one of them... they're fairly few now. When we can confirm immunity for you all properly the way I'm immune... you can go without unless close to a Stage 5. The feeling of your lungs turning to goo and melting from the inside and outside is very unpleasant. And even worse to regenerate from." Umbra grimaced. In the hub was also Exemplar, although he looked to be in an idle, charging state.

It's obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes that while Amare and Bellator certainly do some organizing for the bunker. The bulk of its actual protection and coordinating supply runs is left to Umbra himself. As he settled Kollossus to just put his head on his lap as he grabbed a tablet and began looking through files of reports since he'd been gone for such a long while.

The bunker was... a bit more crowded than usual. Having a bunch of sudden visitors of another zone, he'd had to stop them from running out of the bunker and down to the mainland as there were still the zombots to worry about. Umbra didn't bat an eye at all the blood and various other viscera on them all, or any of the small sizes of them all. Or the alien look of one of the survivors who was a variant of him.

He saw too much of it. Especially after Llamarada had been attacked by Vector. She really only was able to manage to burn it off thanks to her pyrokinetic abilities. She was lucky she hadn't lost any of her limbs...

"You need to stay in here." Umbra told them, his body and quills sparking with Chaos energy that saturated his body to the point of cracking his inhibitor rings slowly, like water eroding a rock. ( @shxdesofchaos )

“They might have ‘ta, but me and this massive dipshit are deitys, and dolls. A doll. I doubt those freakazoids can affect us, oh wondrous glorious leader.” Tidbit snarled in a sassy sarcastic tone, arms crossed as he taps his foot the same way sonic had multiple times. That classic, unimpressed and antsy pose. Head tilted to the side with a grouchy noise. He wasnt a fan of being bossed around.

While he was being uncooperative, the survivors were perfectly fine being in the bunker. Somewhere safe.. sortof. Not entirely safe but safe from the main threat here. The jackal was snuggled with the children under a blanket while the doc and his metal explored around, having metal download and scan the entire bunker to know the ins and outs incase something fucked up, and to point out any weak points. Amy relaxed in knuckles lap, letting the other brush her fur down and get the mats and blood clumps out of her fur. Shadow.. shadow wasnt budging where he’d planted himself. He might aswell be a statue the way he was stationed near the entrance to keep a keen eye out for danger. Accompanied by Rouge and Blaze who were less statue like and moreso making mental notes of the entrance and every way they might be able to help, with Sally chiming in when she had ideas. Silver was busy checking on others even if he was a newcomer here.

Now.. kolossus? The big idiotic deity was quite literally just leaning against umbras back without much argument of his command. While the doll was trying to find something to set on fire… dont mind him….

"You don't actually know if you can't be infected, and neither do I. Even if you can't, I doubt any of you want to bitten or ripped in half or have your insides melt till you're naught but bone." Umbra replied in a rather dull tone.

Kollossus receives a very quiet pat to the head. Since he's being obedient even if he's leaning on his back. He does grab the doll carefully, by the scruff. Mainly, so he stops looking for things to burn.

He leads them to the cameras, showing Infected Vector who... unfortunately, the infected crocodile had just got... done... with a survivor, a grimace on his face. Another cam is on a faceless Charmy to keep an eye on where he transitions completely to stage 5 or if he gets too close to Angel Island, even if the Master Emerald keeps the zombots away.

Big had his own camera with gas level readouts so they could avoid the 90 foot stage 5. Sonic was... wandering, as usual. His own camera marked with an M beside it to indicate he was mutated. He had the audio on the cams off since not only was Periculum currently passed out sleeping, but it just wasn't pleasant to hear on a constant basis.

"We use Tails Doll models for the cameras since they can keep up with most zombots, and they're smaller than the doll himself so we can have them hide better. Not flawlessly. Vector, in particular, has destroyed his cams several times by now." Umbra explained to them about the various cameras. The zombots on the cams were giant and incredibly grotesque looking.

"Before you ask, Sonic is conscious. He's currently non-aggressive... but he didn't used to be. So... he has one in case his situation changes back to being aggressive."

The bunker was... a bit more crowded than usual. Having a bunch of sudden visitors of another zone, he'd had to stop them from running out of the bunker and down to the mainland as there were still the zombots to worry about.

(I’m kinda of shy on asking this- but…do you mind on an roleplay? If no that’s fine too-have a nice day/or night mod-)

You can just send something in if you'd like! I'm not mutuals only or anything so I'm open to being sent memes/starters. I'm just a bit Slow on here with responding sometimes.

[shxdesofchaos]

reblog if you’re 25+ and still roleplay; or if you believe older muns have a place in the rpc and shouldn’t be told to give it up when they turn 30. 

i received this anon & i just want to make a point.

Finally, I'm getting to that post. But the idea of possession would not leave my head. I know Mephiles being in the Scepter is probably more of a game mechanic thing than actual reality, maybe, but just like. Just imagine. Mephiles breaks the Scepter, and he fights Shadow. He Loses. And that last plead. That last "No! I want to EXIST!" Instead of garnering the line, SEGA gives Shadow for it. Instead, he gets Shadow to stop. And think. He doesn't want to be Doom's weapon. And he doesn't remember this adversary. Sure, he tried to kill him, but hadn't he come too close and entered what was its own domain first?

Instead, he takes the top piece of the Scepter, still somehow whole enough not to be entirely useless, and just basically let's Mephiles tag along.

It comes in handy. As I imagine, this is a branch off of Doomed Possession. Shadow is about to lose. Black Doom is about ready to take him over. And while this whole time there's been an unspoken "don't possess me" from Shadow. This time. This time, Mephiles doesn't think about it. He doesn't like this stupid warlord. This fool who tries to play around with Shadow and yet has an ego in his opinion far too big for his britches. He might be weaker than Shadow. But he's not weaker than Black Doom.

He takes over instead. And his presence stops Black Doom. Mephiles uses his powers in combination with what Shadow has. And he takes down the warlord before receding into the Scepter again.

Shadow is annoyed, angry maybe. But... gratefultoo. He could tell he was not winning that fight before Mephiles. So they strike up a bit of a truce. Mephiles is allowed to possess him to experience the world again whenever Shadow doesn't feel up to taking on the task of living in it. Or socializing.

It works.

It's a weird sort of circumstances, and he definitely has to stop Rouge from swiping the Scepter piece and from trying to get Mephiles out of him.

It's a WILLING possession, rather than a forced one. It makes it easier on Mephiles, too, since this would be an erased verse one. He can't be whole as Solaris again, but he can feel like he is when possessing Shadow. It makes the loss of Iblis a bit easier to handle.

It also helps that eventually they get the Scepter made into a proper amulet for Shadow to wear so the jagged bits are a bit less uncomfortable.

You know what I'm a slut for? When a character visibly drops a ruse. Like, the way their face changes the moment they give up a facade and reveal themselves.

This applies to revealing love, apathy, anger, evil intent. I mcfuckin love it.

[shxdesofchaos]

There certainly was a time when Shadow was just a tiny, trusting baby-hedgehog, hanging onto big sister Maria’s every word, and her playful mischief got him into all sorts of trouble. Siblings life. One’s the bad influence, but they both end up getting yelled at.

Gerald might be grumpy, but he's a loving grandfather.

[shxdesofchaos]

I looooove the shit that's like

"You have the power to possess me and take over my body but you don't because you respect me"

because it can lead to

"I'll let you possess me and take over my body when necessary because I trust you"

[shxdesofchaos]

Umbra gives a tiny giggle at the sensation of belly rubs. It does feel nice though, and it's not very hard for that plus the gentle song to lull the tired hoglet to doze off somewhat in Infinite's arms, the motion of running as he bobs up and down helps as well.

The cradling is so much better than being nabbed by the scruff. The sleepy hoglet dozing as he's carried off to wherever it is that the survivors all hide out at. Sleeping, or even simply dozing or napping as the little one is doing, seems to speed up his healing factor immensely, as the needle marks on his other arm are already almost gone.

“Umbra, hm? Thats a wonderful name sweetheart.” Amy cooed gently, a soft smile on her face however her attention quickly went to the brawling to make sure it was safe to get out of the cave or if a fight was blocking it, when she was sure it was clear, she turned back to infinite with a soft nod and squeak to alert him to follow as she quickly made it for the exit.

Infinites ears perked at the request, and moved to shape his arms in a cradle and softly lower his head and plop umbra int9 his arms to cradle him, after he had him situated he quickly moved after amy- and once outside, he promptly began running his tongue over the baby hoglets fur, making sure to be extra gentle and careful, mothers touch, sort of thing, as he began to clean the little one the best he could. He was dead silent so he could focus on caring and cleaning for the hoglet while following amy by keeping an eye on her pink fur and red dress infront of him. Luckily the boys did good to bodyblock the exit so the deity’s couldn’t follow, for now. Eventually, infinite would speak up, but it was a hushed tone of gentle song to soothe the sleepy hoglet, softly rubbing his small stomach with two digits and claws. He knew he enjoyed that as a pup, so he was essentially following instinct and what his mother did.

[shxdesofchaos]

He is not sure if he truly appreciates the way that he's been grabbed by the scruff of his neck. He'd liked the cradling hold much better, giving an indignant little squeak as he's lifted up, hands going to the offered limb for stability as he looked up at the pink hedgehog. His ears flickered as he tried to listen to her as he heard what amounted to a WWE smackdown type of fight between the others of the survivor group.

"...Mm...My name is Umbra..." He managed in a small voice, as he briefly removed the teething toy to allow for it, before sticking it right back in his mouth to gnaw on it to ease the ache of his growing teeth. He gave a little nod after a minute or two. At least everyone here didn't seem to want to eat him.

Still holding the toy, his eyes are trying to close as he's so sleepy, his body still is, of course, working overtime to heal him. as there's already signs of new growth of fur on the arm that had skin stripped off of it. There's soft clicking sounds, a sort of krrk noise that issues every so often from his throat as he goes a bit limp in Infinite's hold on his scruff.

"...Cradle...?" He mumbled in askance around the toy.

Infinites ears quickly perk high when the hoglet expresses pain from simply moving- carefully, he moves his paws around the young one to provide stability, when his digits brush his sides and feel how.. off.. his ribs are, he decides to move to softly clamp his jaws around the little ones scruff, lifting him up and holding him like a pup in hopes to relieve the pain, but if dangling by the scruff isnt comfortsble, he holds his paws out and close for the little one to pull close if he needs stability while being held. Ofcourse he doesnt pull him away from the concerned pink hog, he’d rather not get into a parental instinct clash with her.

“Oh sweetheart.. its a good thing we got here when we did, these three like to eat mobians like you and us, baby. They were probably looking to eat you— but, not to worry, alright? We’re here to help you, we’ll find you something to eat and keep you nice and safe so you can heal properly, i promise. We’re a big group, so you’ll be plenty safe with all of us keeping tabs on you and making sure nothing hurts you. Does that sound alright to you-? You can keep the toy, dont worry.” Amy cooed out in a motherly voice, her expression soft, worried- yet inviting to the young one, letting infinites own instincts take hold to handle the hoglet while she handled speaking to the baby. Meanwhile the rest of the boys were.. essentially WWE wrestling the deitys and giving them a run for their money. It was pretty chaotic with them but when was it ever n o t?

“My name is Amy, the jackal holding you is Infinite, and uh.. once the others stop moving around so much, we’ll introduce you to them, you dont have to tell us your name, if your not comfortable.”

[shxdesofchaos]

A startled noise issued from the hoglet as all of this goes down just as he'd picked up the toy and started teething at it. Umbra whines when he feels a snout, pressing to sniff at him. The obvious injuries are his ear and both arms, but they're not done by the exes, seemingly. One arm is stripped of fur, and some skin from whenthe tissue sample was taken, and the other is full of needle punctures. The tag, of course, is close enough and at least clearly cut enough that it explains the hole in his tiny ear.

His breathing around the teething related toy bone is a little wheezy, "Nn... not hurt by them. Tidbit caught me. Accidentally teleported too high n woulda gone splat, stopped me from hurtin... said wanted to give... quick end, but then didn't. Big one... Kollossus...? Tried. He looked like he wanted to eat me." Umbra mumbled.

The hoglet struggles to sit up, a few more whines leaving along with high, pained clicking sounds, which he tries to muffle with the teething toy as tears beaded up in his eyes again.

"Caught me by chest. Chest hurt. But not cuz him. He didn't know that my chest was hurt. Did a cradle. Doll showed how." Umbra wheezed, the hoglet dropping back into bean bag in sheer exhaustion as his stomach growled again. He's hurt and hungry and tired. But at least his teeth don't ache as he mouthed at the bone teething toy. Which... doesn't feel like real bone, thankfully. It's not really colored like a real bone either. He watched all of them, not really sure what to make of all of them, but they don't seem to want to hurt him...

“Ill see what i can conjure up, then.” Tidbit hummed simply, a bored expression on his face as he lifts his free claw and a bright red sort of smoke starts to bubble from the gloved paw, slowly beginning to form some sort of toy, the silhouette kept changing with his mind as he tried to think of a toy a little version of the ultimate lifeform wouldn’t pop or break immediately. Humming a tune before his ears flick to the question, his eyes dont leave his work but he does respond. “Tidbit. I, along with the other two, who are absolute idiots, are Deity’s. Gods, essentially. Those two i was with are Tails Doll and Kolossus, though we call the doll Dolly since theres already someone here named Tails and the names just a fuckin mouthful.” Tidbit explains simply, eventually he conjures up a toy, its a chewtoy, shaped in the way of a cartoony bone and perfect for developing teeth. He lets it plop harmlessly infront of the hoglet.

Though, before he can ask the other what his name is- kolossus barges in, rushing past them and smashing his body into the wall from his charge. Alarmed, tidbit whips his head with a snarl, seeing the brute covered in wounds is no cause for concern, they cant kill them, only the three can kill eachother if they really desired. “KOLOSSUS! THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?! GET BACK OUT THERE AND GET US SOME FUCKING—“ Tidbit snarled and yelled in annoyance, but before he can finish chewing the brute out, a flash of black and red is all the hoglet sees before tidbits tackled to the ground in a bloody brawl between some hedgehog that looks.. like the hoglet, but also entirely different. Dolly is chucked into the den rather violently by a red echidna before a pink hedgehog rushes her way twords umbra when tidbits tackled out of the way.

“Oh my sweet chaos- it IS a baby—“ she mumbles under her breath before setting her hammer aside and quickly making her way up to the hoglet. “Hello there little one-! Im so sorry about those scary hedgehogs— did they hurt you sweetheart-? You doing alright?” She cooed softly in a motherly voice as she looked him over, another mobian quickly following inside an twords umbra, a large jackal who does a full 360 check of him before the canids snout is properly pressed against his fur and sniffing him with concerned movements of his tail.

[shxdesofchaos]

The hoglet hummed, unsure really what to choose. He allows the movement toward the tag, even if he does tense up a little at first, Tidbit removes the tag as Umbra makes a tiny clicking whine that's mostly of relief. The delicate, underdeveloped cartilage is still bleeding a little, but not as much as it had been with the tag constantly moving in the pierced area.

He could hear them getting closer. Or something was getting closer, and ear twitching as he considered the two options. They had technically... at least other than Tidbit technically, he seemed to be trying to kill him. Tidbit had stopped him from going splat on the ground. Which would've hurt. A lot.

"...Toy, please?" The hoglet requests, almost timidly. He fidgets with his ungloved hands, half expecting the deity to take the choices back.

"... What's your name?" He asked after a moment.

He’s.. smaller then him. By the gaias this is just an actual infant that somehow showed up at the worst time. Was this a test from mother chaos? Solaris? The gaias? Chaos? Who would endanger such fragile life to test their morality? If they wanted to do that they should’ve realized morality was gone when cream and tails were added to the roster of ‘players’. Those two were young children but.. cream was older than this little one. Damn those gods, and their stupid tests. The deity wants to start squeezing and sinking his claws in but he.. cant bring himself to do it. If this is a shadow variant hes.. immortal, isnt he? It’d just bring unnesecary pain. Like the pain in his shoulders with Doll’s knife claws sinking into them violently to stare over his quills at the infant. Snarling, tidbit tries to shoo him off with some quill stabbings but that just leads the doll to slash at his eyes. Earning a yelp from tidbit as he tucks umbra close to his chest and begins tussling with Doll. Blood flying and tidbit yelping like a pathetic mortal hog.. and kolossus? Watching it all.

Eventually he gets Doll off him. Snarling heavily, he holds umbra back out and stares at him, albeit now tidbit looks more fucked up and bloody. A sigh escapes his mouth. Unaware the entire team of survivors is hot on their trail searching for the baby that screamed.

“Yeah, looks like it hurts bud.” Ears twitching to incoming shouting, a grin grows across his muzzle. They wouldnt kill the little,one.. but he could be good bait. “Alright, listen. Ill take ya to the cave, and help ya. My friends here will catch us some food, sound good?” Leaving out the greusome details of what ‘catching food’ entails to not scare the tiny child. His head tilts and he tries to put on a less unnerving grin.

[shxdesofchaos]

Once no longer being handled at the chest and instead cradled, he stops squirming and every so often... he chirped. A quiet one, but still a chirp as he blinked slowly at Tidbit, his sensitive ears flicking around even though the movement makes the freshly placed tag hurt where it's been reclipped back to his ear.

"I dunno." Umbra replied, yawning a little bit as his body is trying to heal the injuries to the best of its own abilities.

"Never got to really have fun. S'just lotsa tests." Umbra added. He looked about at all the decor, the shrines and totems and statues, and blinked a few times with his head tilting.

He's sagged into the comfy beanbag chair, blinking owlishly as he feels exhausted with his regenerative abilities working overtime to try and fix him.

[shxdesofchaos]

His own ears perk at the sound of shouting, and at food. How long had it been since he'd ate? The tests had all blurred together...his stomach growls, making his hunger very well known. He does flinch a little when Kollossus gets closer, twitching his ears in a flat position as he dangles from Tidbit's hands. His bare feet twitch in a little kick again. He might want down. Just a little, the pressure on his chest hurts in a bad way. A quiet snuffle coming out of the hoglet as he strains to touch even his toes to the ground.

His head bobs in a very small nod, still straining to get on the ground to get the pressure on his chest to ease some. Tidbit might want to adjust so he's not... kind of clutching the poor baby's busted ribs.

[shxdesofchaos]

While he doesn't stop crying in the sense that the tears dry up, he does stop wailing. He's smaller than Tidbit. Dangling in the exe's grip with his tiny feet stretching out as they kick a little. He's trying to reach the ground where he's currently dangling. He does whimper, as there's slightly more give than there should be on one side of his chest. More injuries becoming apparent with how he's dangled.

Puncture marks from the needles, the strip of skin missing on his forearm, the extra give on his left side of his chest that definitely implies his ribs might be busted too. The tag on his ear is most obvious, freshly pierced in as he'd gone and removed it again before appearing in this zone. The blood still running down from the cartilage from the broken blood vessels.

Another strip of skin on his leg is without fur and heavily burned. Hiccups still reverberate against Tidbit's hands, which jolt his busted ribs and pull more whimpers out of him because broken bones hurt quite a lot. He's hands aren't gloved and he's without shoes, beans and all exposed to the exes on top of just being so tiny. Frightened clicking issues from his throat, still not yet quickened quills puffing and trying to bristle despite feeling more akin to his fur or like coarser hair.

"...Hurts." He speaks in such a tiny rasp, the first word other than help he's spoken and he sounds in pain, too. Hangry or not, Tidbit is not going to be able to ignore that this is a baby he's holding. Not with how tiny he is.

They wouldnt lie, the childs cries were getting annoying fast. But kolossus knew better then to scare them, they needed something to eat afterall— wait where’d the baby go.

The scream causes their heads to snap upwards and a surprised growl,leaves kolossus’ throat, before he can try to catch the little one, or Dolly can try flying up after them- which- the doll does, flying after the falling child, sharp knife paws extended- Tidbit seems to snatch the little one with a boosting rush from one of the many hills. Landing on his feet with the young one in his paw,s considering the dolls claws would hurt on contact.

With the crying child in his paws, tidbit turns the hoglet to face him, a grouchy look on his disturbing face.

“Stop cryin’ already, yer makin it harder for us to give you a swift end.” The shorter hog growls, his grip isnt tight on the little one, but its good enough. He isnt using his claws.. yet. Hes small. They cant share a hoglets body between the three of them. And tidbit intends to eat this little one himself. “Wonder how you even got here.. we didnt summon any new players.. eh. Wont matter in a minute anyways..” why was there even a baby shadow here? What fucking god thought this would be funny? Confusing indeed.. he found himself pausing to look over the young one in curiosity.

[shxdesofchaos]

The looming does NOT help the already upset, hurting hoglet. Fat tears stream down his muzzle just before he hiccups and begins to bawl. The loud wailing interspersed with sharp, alien clicking before on a hiccup.

He teleports without intending to, sending himself... several feet higher in the air. He balls up quickly on instinct as he starts to fall, a very loud screeching cry leaving the tiny hoglet.

The noise would be more than audible for miles with the set of lungs on the hoglet. The pitch of it is high and near ear piercing levels.

"HELP!!"

Bloop! There is now a baby hoglet in the exes midst. Where did he come from? Nobody knows! But he looks upset and queasy, and there is a strip of his forearm missing. The other arm bears a bunch of needle marks, including signs of an IV. - @shxdesofchaos

The hoglet seemed to bloop into the middle of an argument between the doll and the smaller blue hog, the larger sat and holding his knees angrily with his stomach roaring loudly. The argument was about something stupid, the three were hangry considering the survivors were getting smarter and knew how to fight back more and more. But the arguments cut short by the sudden scent of the young hoglets presence. Eyes and heads snap twords the little thing. A small hoglet shadow?

Free snack.

Kolossus is the first to make a move. Loud snarls emit from his throat as the blood in his mouth oozes out and messes his muzzle up. Slamming his paw onto the floor, its not long before the massive deity looms over umbra, stomach roaring and a hungry stare at him. Currently- all they see this child as is a snack. He has to get the baby close, though. So he can shred him apart with his mangled arm.

The soothing is automatic, hushing, and soft apologies coming from him when he hears the whimper. He's treated so many kids. So many orphans... it's almost habit at this point. When settled and held properly, he picks up the shield device using the magnetic attachment on his glove, turning it off now that there's no goop flying everywhere and pockets it again.

He adjusts his stance slightly and then sets off. He doesn't wait for getting up to blistering speeds. Getting as far away from the site of all the noise as fast as possible. He passes Exemplar on the way, hearing the distant wail of one of the problem zombots, thankfully not Vector, and continued onwards as he shortened the distance between himself and the floating island enough for him to warp up with a well place Chaos Snap.

"Picked a helluva time to show up." He mentions, "at least I didn't have to handle Vector again...fucking behemoth that he's become."

He talks as he slows down his speed and takes him past farmland for fruits and vegetables on the island and down into the underbelly of the bunker towards Medical.

"... At least you're not infected. Couldn't have brought you up here if you had been. It's too risky due to all the flora."

The jackal pup let out loud yarrs and barks the closer the zombots got to him, until he watches as a spark is all he sees at first when the hybrid hog launches down and over to slaughter the zombie robots, the pups eyes widen as it happens and he continues his cries of pain trying topull free. Its only when the older mobian tells him to shush, that he does. Throwing his own bodydownward, clamping his paws around his own muzzle and biting his tongue, desperate to not make any noise as the debris lifts off his leg. Listening to the other, he pulls himself forward with one paw, before he lets his body flop onto his stomach, paws wrapping back around his muzzle as he curls up tightly. Pain ebbing through his entire little body- the ruby didnt have enough time, despite how long it’d been, to heal his body perfectly. Incorrectly healed injuries and wounds still litter the body but the worst of it all is the said leg that’d trapped him. Its mangled and looks broken when you look at it, considering it was caught when the pup was mid-run and was pulled and yanked desperately for freedom.

Infinite doesnt know if the blood that oozes from his leg is going to cause problems. He assumed if it did this hedgehog would’ve cut his losses and let his cries die in the air unawnsered- right? Thats what he assumes. All he knows is things arent good and his body is burning in pain enough to make tears form in his eyes. Violent jaws clamp on his tongue to silence his own cries as he does his best to listen through the pain.
