| Carnival Zone (Shadow and Sonya) | |
| By: Shadow the Hedgehog Date: October 20, 2019, 10:20 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| The ultimate life-form wounded up by the carnival entrance of | |
| all places, its not a place he would enjoy visiting. People here | |
| are noisy and the loud noises from these silly contraptions | |
| makes him lose brain cells, he would much rather go someplace | |
| quiet in isolation, indulge in a book or something but he has no | |
| say in the matter. unfortunately. Shadow stood in line behind a | |
| lot of people to register for a ticket to get in the carnival, | |
| arms folded and eyelids flatten, irritated by constant | |
| chit-chatter of children and adults eager to have a good time, | |
| he has no idea why he is sent to this snooze-fest! | |
| Shadow looked around then stepped out of line and move away from | |
| the crowed, enough distance was between them so he can | |
| communicate with his boss discreetly. Shadow pressed a button on | |
| his wrist device and an image of Abraham Tower appeared on ID | |
| "Commander, why did you make me come to this place?" demanding | |
| to know why he is wasting time at a carnival when he should be | |
| out doing assignments. | |
| "I've sent you there because you are grumpier than usual, I've | |
| been getting a lot of complaints about your attitude from our | |
| soldiers lately and I've noticed you haven't gotten any sleep | |
| for weeks" the commander replied. | |
| "I don't need any sleep nor do I want to waste my time in | |
| festivities" Shadow said bluntly. | |
| "Well suck it up Agent, I'm ordering you to take a load off for | |
| the rest of the week and loosen up a little, go have some fun at | |
| the carnival, there is such thing as too much work even for the | |
| ultimate lifeform, Over and out" Abraham hung up as the screen | |
| on his device went black. Shadow sighed and returned to the back | |
| of the line, folding his arms and waiting for his turn to pay | |
| for entry. | |

| What was the point in this? the answer being that getting out | |
| was a better alternative than staying indoors and feeling like | |
| the despondent fennec she felt like being. Needless to say it�d | |
| been a rough couple of weeks for everybody locally, but nothing | |
| positive was going to happen if she allowed herself to slip so | |
| easily into the dark place her mind was threatening to lure her | |
| back into. She needed to be out she needed loud noises, | |
| shrieking children, odd carnival food smells that seemed to all | |
| be mixing into one. Granted the lively atmosphere wasn�t making | |
| her feel much better in mood but she was trying, that was all | |
| that mattered. And so here she was with a stupid smile on her | |
| face for the publics benefit in line to buy a carnival ticket | |
| internally wishing she was anywhere else. One out of two of her | |
| large fluffy ears giving an involuntary flicker as she began to | |
| pick up on what was meant to be private conversation near by | |
| Sonya found herself cringing with embarrassment. | |
| It really was never her intention to eavesdrop on others it just | |
| sort of happened. She was about to tune her concentration out to | |
| allow the individuals their privacy until recognition flared. A | |
| range of expressions clouding over her features within the | |
| moments that followed she eventually settled on one that was | |
| uncharacteristically poker faced her entire body stiffening, she | |
| was digging her nails into her palms so hard there was a chance | |
| she�d broken skin. Without turning around she already knew who | |
| was in line behind her and as preferable as it would have been | |
| for her to ignore Shadows existence entirely being rude was | |
| beneath her. And so making sure she actually took a quiet deep | |
| inhale and exhale she un clenched her fists, smoothed her vexed | |
| facial features into something much less hostile and turned to | |
| greet him in a tone that oozed mostly faux but convincing | |
| enthusiasm. "Hello Shadow. Fancy seeing you here�� | |

| Shadow was too much in a sour mood to realize a person he | |
| recognizes is standing right in front of him. His scarlett eyes | |
| are still soiled by drooping eyelids while looking at the fennec | |
| fox, either from lack of sleep or general apathy of whats around | |
| him, or it could be both. "What are YOU doing here.." he said | |
| flatly, she may have greeted him with kindness and normally he | |
| would return the favor mutually, but his mood hasn't been the | |
| best as of late. | |
| The line moved up and the pair aren't that much far away from | |
| the entry payment. | |

| Shuffling herself awkwardly along when the line ahead of them | |
| moved, she stifled the urge to reply with something equally as | |
| blunt and standoffish. She couldn�t believe the nerve of this | |
| hedgehog! here they were barely a few minutes into a | |
| conversation and from the looks of it feigning politeness was | |
| too much. Her civil smile straining at the edges Sonya felt one | |
| of her eye lids almost twitch in annoyance.�I�M HERE to enjoy | |
| the carnival zone like everyone else and have fun. Which I know | |
| is probably a foreign concept for you. What are you doing here | |
| anyway? Is Amy nearby?� Her tone holding a hint of surprise at | |
| the last part and a millisecond of hope she knew that if her | |
| surrogate older sibling was within range then this mutually | |
| uncomfortable conversation would soon be over. | |

| Shadow's expression didn't waver, he is probably too tired to | |
| bicker with Sonya nor did he care how she feels, though she | |
| mentioned the whereabouts of Amy which reminded him he needed to | |
| check up on his lover considering she will need emotional | |
| support after the defeat of Eggman. "No, Amy isn't here, I was | |
| sent here because the military complained they didn't like my | |
| attitude...apparently, so I was ordered to be off-duty for a | |
| week.." his dagger sharp words are coated with annoyance, it's | |
| obvious he longed to get back out in the field and he considers | |
| this place to be a form of punishment, oh well there is nothing | |
| he can do about it. | |
| The line moved up once again and eventually its the black | |
| hedgehog's turn to pay for his entry fee, Shadow walked through | |
| the entrance gate and stood in the middle of it, having no clue | |
| of what to do in this lively place. "What a noisy place" folding | |
| his arms. | |

| Her eyebrow arching a fraction at his reply her disappointment | |
| that her sister wouldn’t be coming to her rescue anytime | |
| time was evident. Though her absence was deeply concerning for | |
| the fennec so made a mental note to check up on her at the | |
| nearest opportunity. Yeah they’d won the war but things | |
| were far from being anywhere near normal yet and with emotions | |
| still running high she didn’t want to leave her best | |
| friend by herself at a time like this. Ignoring the annoyance | |
| that oozed from the rest of response she feigned surprise when | |
| he mentioned the reasoning for him being ordered off duty. | |
| “How could anyone not like your attitude? Your’re a | |
| real ray of sunshine.” Her comment coming out dry, she | |
| fixed on a much sweeter smile for the ticket attendant thanking | |
| them as she took her turn paying the entry fee, and swept past. | |
| Due to his rudeness initially Sonyas intention had been to peace | |
| out and get on with her day, but instead she got as far as a | |
| couple of steps before her damned guilty conscience kicked in. | |
| Well that and she knew that Amy would be hurt if she found out | |
| that they’d run into each other here and she hadn’t | |
| at least TRIED to make a mends on her end. Running a hand slowly | |
| down her face she pulled it back allowing the skin to snap back | |
| into place before she turned back towards the black hedgehog. | |
| “Er .. look I apologise. Given everything that’s | |
| happening right now I’m not really in the best place | |
| emotionally. Would you like a carnival buddy? I’ll try to | |
| hold the sarcasm.” | |

| "......." Shadow's tactium personality lead him to walk away | |
| without uttering a word to his carnival buddy trying to | |
| apologize to him, its not like he has anything against Sonya, he | |
| just wanted to get this day over with. On the bright side, he | |
| didn't object to wanting someone to accompany him on his quest | |
| to have fun. | |
| The black hedgehog scouted for an activity to start the day off | |
| and spotted an activity that pipes his interest, it consists of | |
| fake hand guns with cans being stacked upside down lined up to | |
| each other as the targets. Shadow walked towards the booth and | |
| examine the interior, a man standing in the booth noticed his | |
| new customer approaching and gave him a friendly smile. | |
| "Hey! would ya like to play this game for one ring? All ya have | |
| to is shoot down the paper cups and ya win a prize!" showing | |
| Shadow various items he could win such as plush animals, toy | |
| items for children, and sports items. Shadow bared little | |
| interest in these prizes but he will participate in the game to | |
| give him something to do, placed one ring in the jar them picked | |
| up a hand gun. he examined the projectile device and took aim, | |
| with hesitation and concentration he shot down one cup out of | |
| many more he has to knock down. | |
| "That's the spirit! just five more to go!" the guy cheered. | |

| Taking his silence as more of an agreement than a disagreement | |
| the fennec buried the bitterness that threatened to engulf her. | |
| No matter how discourteous he was going to keep being she was | |
| going to be nothing but polite and well mannered. She was NOT | |
| going to let him get under her skin that easily. However as she | |
| trailed off behind him to his game of choice she couldn’t | |
| help but wish and not for the first time that day that she was | |
| anywhere else. Though when she neared the booth moments after | |
| she tried her best to drench up a smile the stall owners way for | |
| appearances sake. Having no interest in guns when the man asked | |
| if they wanted to play the game she was all too quick to shake | |
| her head causing her soft blonde waves to swish back and forth | |
| in one soft motion. "Oh I couldn’t he’s much more | |
| the gun expert anyway.” Despite the impressive selection | |
| of plush toys that were captivating her attention she stood idle | |
| hands placed behind her back, watching Shadow in his presumed | |
| element. | |
| The sound of the mock gun firing causing her large fluffy ears | |
| to pin backwards halfway on her head she rolled her blue irises | |
| skyward upon realising that unless she took a turn they’d | |
| run the risk of being here all evening. Placing a ring of her | |
| own in the collection jar Sonya wordlessly picked up a hand gun | |
| but unlike Shadow she didn’t take time to examine the | |
| plastic weapon on hand instead tossing it back and forth between | |
| her fingerless gloved hands for moment, before settling on the | |
| hand she was most comfortable taking aim with. Eyes narrowing | |
| for a split second she then proceeded to shoot down the | |
| remainder of the cups that had been left standing. One after the | |
| other in a startlingly smooth sequence. ‘Huh.. Scourge is | |
| right it really does help to aim straight for the centre or in | |
| his case where the core of someones brain would be.’ | |
| Placing her gun back in its slot the fennec let out a giggle. | |
| “Beginners luck I guess? If it’s okay will take the | |
| plush animals please!” | |

| Shadow was about to shoot another target when Sonya stepped up | |
| to play the game herself, his haughty demeanor doesn't believe | |
| she could use a gun efficiently, she admitted guns aren't her | |
| thing but why did she change her mind? He is left pondering | |
| about her actions. | |
| The fennec fox shooting down all of the bottle cups with minimum | |
| effort left both the booth owner and the ultimate life form in | |
| shock, however that's where the similarities in their expression | |
| ended. Shadow placed the mock weapon back in its holster and | |
| folded his arms, pretending he wasn't impressed, his left cheek | |
| puffed slightly as he pouted over being shown-up in skill. | |
| "Wow! You shot all of those bottle caps down like a cowgirl in | |
| the middle of a shoot out, here you go!" the man complimented | |
| her ability as he reached for a bird plushy then hand it over to | |
| Sonya. | |
| "Hmph" Shadow huffed and walked away from the game, he stood | |
| there waited for Sonya to finish up while folding his arms, | |
| wanting to move on to the next activity. the booth owner noticed | |
| Shadow's aloof behavior and tilted his head. "Your friend | |
| doesn't like this game very much" smiling at the prize winner. | |

| Ever modest the fennec stayed humble despite her rather apparent | |
| victory. But both the booth owners and Shadows stunned | |
| expressions didn’t go amiss with her subtle smirk being an | |
| indicator. That smirk materialising into something softer when | |
| the game owner handed over her bird plush she cradled it with | |
| pride while beaming joyfully at him. “It’s really | |
| all in the wrist thank you.” The sound of the hedgehogs | |
| nearby huffing causing one of her fluffy ears to flicker she saw | |
| from her peripheral vision that he’d already stalked off | |
| in typical sulk mode. “Don’t mind him he’s not | |
| really a gracious loser. Have a good evening!” Wandering | |
| away from the stall to stop beside the huffy one rather than | |
| comment on his lack of manners she decided that it was probably | |
| best to try move their evening along as quickly as possible. | |
| Her gaze drifting round the area for a few moments she soon | |
| spotted something that looked like fun, for her at least. | |
| “Roll up roll up! who here has with it takes to brave the | |
| dunk tank?! Three tries to hit bullseye and whoever ends up | |
| getting wet rakes in an automatic donation for a charity of | |
| their choosing!” Having already snaked a surprisingly | |
| strong hand around one of his wrists Sonya steered them both | |
| over and shoved Shadow out front and centre before he had a | |
| chance to object. “This hedgehog right here will brave the | |
| dunk tank for charity! and i'll aim.” | |
| Smiling graciously at his two unexpected volunteers the game | |
| owner cheerily tipped his hat in appreciation. “Alrighty | |
| then! Mr hedgehog if you just hop yourself onto that plank over | |
| the tank like so and you miss take your balls and prepare to | |
| aim!” | |
