a cover of "Panic Station" by Muse, ideally suited for chases through futuristic train platforms full of loop-de-loops and hostile robots!
usually I have a really hard time doing arrangements of existing songs, but I felt unusually motivated to tackle this one and managed to see it thought to completion! (took me a while because I kept spending too much time jamming out to what I already had done instead of working on the next parts lol)

and here's the full-size cover art, while i'm at it!
Mobians can understand the language of flickies and critters and other non-anthropomorphic animals. It's been shown in canon multiple times.
Humans, on the other hand, do not know the language of ferals in the slightest.
Now then, watch this.
Taking a two second joke clip from Sonic 2 movie and the multiple interactions between Sonic & any other earth animal, I deduce that the same applies on Mobians in the SCU verse.
(It also explains how Sonic communicates with Ozzie and perfectly manages to convince him to play along with his silly games and everything. And I also believe he understood that turtle)
So the Wachowski brothers can speak to animals and it's both baffling to their parents and helpful when Maddie has a pet or animal come in which is too hurt or uncooperative and whatnot, and it allows the three brothers to involve woodland creatures into their shenanigans and pranks.
April 1st is a nightmare in the Wachowski household. And so is October 31st.
Who and what Lyka was like prior to joining the RATs was a big thing that @mynders-universe and I have been trying to hash out for a while now. Mainly, we wanted to know what influenced and guided our eventual hero into the person she would become.
So wearing her Shonen protagonist inspiration on her intact sleeve (taking some big design cues from of course Dragon Ball's Son Goku), Kid Lyka was an itinerant trouble making orphan, bouncing from village to village, before being kicked out because she inevitably steals something, breaks something, or "gives some jerk what they had coming to them".
Needless to say she was a bit of a shit. Many adults felt sympathy for her but most found it easier to see her as a troublemaker than a kid who needed caring for. Easier to just toss her some bread and some soup and send her on her way, and hope she doesn't hit anything with that stick of hers on the way out. Lyka knew and felt this too, of course, and feeling unwanted by so many around her, she figured she might as well legitimize those feelings- they're expecting the worst of her already, anyway.
This would change when, during one of her nightly escapades, she crashed through the roof of the wrong house and broke her tail. The owner of the house, an old man, would recognize Lyka and bandage up her injuries, but demanded that while she recovers, she stick around to help around his farm and repair his roof. Having no alternative, Lyka stayed with the man she would one day call her grandpa.
Being forced to stay in the village and having to interact with its people, Lyka eventually came to be seen as a part of it. That's when they saw the lonely little kid underneath her anger and bluster, a young stoat who just wanted some place to belong and be appreciated. Though gruff and demanding, Grandpa helped Lyka open up.
Lyka's tail never did quite heal properly, but when it finally did, she decided to stick around the village. Grandpa would one day pass, leaving his farm and house to Lyka, which she gladly accepted. And when Eggman's Badniks rolled into town, she was the first one running out of the village, ready to defend her home.
