[ When the screen zaps on, there's a man that no one's ever possibly seen on campus before. He appears to be outside hiding under a tree, laptop in his lap and trying to keep out of the smoldering summer Sun. Though with the state he's in that's visible, sharp blue hair piercing against the light skin of his shoulders and collar bone (all burnt pink), maybe he is familiar if you were paying attention at prom...

He looks pretty distressed, though, and when he speaks, it's with some tinge of anger. ]

Who just leaves those stupid balls just lying around?! Who does that?! I ran right into one. RIGHT. INTO. ONE.

[ Fingers start to tear into the thick locks of azure spikes, green eyes on the verge of ripening to red. ]

I can't find anymore! I went lookin' as soon as it happened, but they're all gone!

[ Which means he's probably been running around naked as the day he was born, but what does he care? He needs out of this body NOW.

By the end of his outburst, he's crossed between looking upset and looking annoyed. ]

Thiiiissss is not cool. AT ALL. [ He touches his shoulder. ] ow.

[ ooc: Remember last month on personals when I said I would do that open log to rack up some CR? hi there. Just gonna network it.

Just fyi: totally okay with action instead of other medias. ]

The heck is an Ultra ball...? [ He shook his head, paused to think about who he was speaking to, then spoke up again. ] No, they're these dumb things that make ya big and slow and clumsy. [ Considering she was human, might not be nice to gripe about that aspect so blatantly. ]

[Big and slow and clumsy? Is this... some kind of weird puberty thing...? Maybe someone stuck, like... an old-timey prison ball and chain onto him?

...OH. OH, WAIT, NO. Lyra sees what's what.]

Oh! Wait, I think I get you. Are you not usually a human?

[ Oh, it seems she knew human bodies weren't 100% convenient, then. GOOD. CAUSE IT'S TRUE. ]

Bingo. Ya got it. All hedgehog here. [ He sounds pretty proud of that! Smiling and all, despite how grumpy this has made the optimist. ]

I never woulda guessed it! It's always so cool seeing all the Pokemon and stuff turning into people. I've always been human, so I wouldn't really know, but I bet it's so weird getting used to being two-legged and wearing pants and stuff.

[A pause. The video's only showing his top half, after all. She'd assumed he was going shirtless because hey, it's summer, guys do that, buuut...]

You, uh... are wearing pants, right?

I've always been two-legged, just... [ He grunts, finding himself unable to explain it.

He gives her question a less than a second's thought. ]

No, why?

[OH. OH OKAY. Lyra quickly closes the video window. SHE IS NOT RISKING CATCHING AN EYEFUL. Her mom would ground her forever if she knew Lyra was having webcam chats with strange naked dudes.]

Oh, jeez! Listen, you can't just sit around with no pants on! You're gonna get arrested! You've gotta get some clothes on, pronto.

You... do own some clothes, right? Something you could wear?

[ Sonic stares blankly at the screen as she disappears, wondering if she's even still there until she speaks again. What was the big deal?

He's about to explain that there's no way they could ever catch him, but then he frowns, because right now? Yeah, they could. ]

I've got socks, shoes, and gloves, but they don't really fit right now.

Socks and gloves, but no pants? You've got some pretty weird priorities, no offense.

[Poor, poor Sonic. Up Nudity Creek without a paddle. What's a girl to do? She can't just let a stranger in need get arrested for public indecency, now can she? HMMM...]

Hey, uh... if you really don't have anything else you could wear, you could borrow something of mine, maybe?

[Sonic, I'm not sure you want to accept that offer. I'm just gonna. Casually point out. That all of Lyra's clothes are meant for five-foot-tall girls.]

[ Y...eah... he wasn't about to take a girl's clothes anyway. He only did that once or twice. ... Y'know. For.. okay. ]

That's okay, but thanks anyway. The sooner I get outta this body, the less 'naked' I'll be. [ But considering the infomation he got about where those things are stored, he had a bad feeling it wouldn't be anytime soon. ]

[ Video; WOW I LAUGHED TOO LOUD AT 'BALLS' ]

[video; YEAH SONIC LET'S TALK ABOUT BALLS]

[video; ONE TIME THERE WERE THESE BLUE BALLS ERRYWHERE...]

[video; SO I GUESS YOU WERE GETTING BLUEBALLED HUH]

[video; THERE WERE SOME RED BALLS TOO]

[voice; OR MAYBE NOT SO BLUEBALLED AFTER ALL.... /wonk]

[voice; feels good to be an adult]

[voice; unrelated but I keep typoing Sonic's name as Sobnic]

[voice; That's appropriate for his life right now.]
