[Audio] - A week without punching is a sad sad week.

[ringsthatbind]

[It had been a week since Shadow the Hedgehog, the Ultimate Lifeform, and his colleague Rouge arrived in Genessia. And it had been a week of him not keeping up his usual schedule. But being tossed into a whole different world can kind of muck with that.

And really he was only going to let one week go by of being, in his own mind, lazy. So he's turned on his device to ask an important question.]

... Where in this place can someone find an area to train in that won't result in anyone being angry over property damage?

[When Shadow trains, he goes hard.]

I usually just wander outside of the populated areas and throw things at trees. No one's taken issue with it yet.

I know of two places. The coliseum in Attleton is a good place for sparring with others, or even fight to the death, as the only place where you can be revived without a penalty.

There's also a Holodeck'd, located in Genessia City and Nova City. In there, you can create any simulation you want, in whichever environment you want, and create any opponents you want.

[ringsthatbind]

Hitting inanimate objects can only take one so far.

[audio]

[ringsthatbind]

Hm, I'll have to look into those places then, Miss.

[audio]

[vicious_slice]

You're right about that. Normally I practice against my brother Quick Man, but he's not here.

[audio]

[ringsthatbind]

[Oh no, that just makes Shadow kinda miss Omega.]

Hrn, that's also something I can understand. My usual partner isn't here, and I wouldn't want him to be here if only for everyone else sake.

[audio]

[vicious_slice]

Huh, sounds like a rough customer.

There's only one member of my line I wouldn't want here, but that's because he, uh. He's not really technically my bother.

[audio]

[swordprincess]

I'm Karla, Deputy Guardian of Genessia City. I hope you find those places useful.

[audio]

[ringsthatbind]

He's... Alright, for a machine.

[audio]

[ringsthatbind]

Shadow, Shadow the Hedgehog. And I hope so too, I don't want to get rusty while I'm here.

[audio]

[swordprincess]

Shadow the Hedgehog? Curious...

So...what sort of fighting do you do? Do you use weapons or special powers?

[audio]

[ringsthatbind]

[That curious makes him arch a brow, not that she can see him do that.]

Both, along with hand to hand combat.

[audio]

[vicious_slice]

[Shadow recognizes that tone. It's the same one Metal uses for his "family".]

Heh. I can relate.

... Wait, what do you have against machines.

[audio]

[ringsthatbind]

[Oh Metal, you're not gonna like the answer to that question.]

All of them, besides Omega, are weak, worthless and a waste of my time and effort.

[aka all too easy to smash.]

[audio]

[vicious_slice]

... [Oh no you d'int.] I guess you haven't tangled with me or my brothers, then. It's okay, you don't know what a real robot is capable of. Quick Man would probably run rings around you though.

[audio]

[ringsthatbind]

[Oh yes he did.

And oh, oh Metal no. He did not just.

Shadow let's out a low growl.]

Peh! If he needs to call himself "quick" then I highly doubt he's any faster than a sloth.

[fatednottobetamed]

Oh. Oh my. My dear, you probably didn't know this, but...

I'm an associate of Shadow's and I'm afraid letting him know about this fighting to the death without consequence might be a bit of a mistake...

[audio]

[vicious_slice]

He's the fastest robot ever designed, you narrow-minded... whatever you are! Definitely faster than any organic!

[audio] - [private]

[swordprincess]

...Really? Well, we can't really take it back now...

I suppose it's too much to hope he'll behave himself?

[audio] - [private]

[fatednottobetamed]

I'm not really worried about him inflicting it on someone who isn't willing, just... he's exactly the kind of person who'd relish that kind of challenge. I'm worried about him more than anyone else.

[audio]

[ringsthatbind]

Then it's a good thing that I'm not just "any" organic, I am the Ultimate Lifeform.

[audio] - [private]

[swordprincess]

[Well, that hits a little close to home...]

...That sounds just like my brother...

[audio]

[vicious_slice]

So you're a big fish in a small pond, then.

[audio]

[ringsthatbind]

I've dealt with things much more asinine than this place, tin can.

[audio] - [private]

[fatednottobetamed]

I see. Well, I'm glad you get what I mean.

... But you're also right that it's not something you can really take back. Hm.
