[ A feed flickers on. The screen, at first, has only the oval peach fuzz of a stomach on it, skirted by waves of blue. Within a moment, Sonic the Hedgehog sits back and looks directly into the camera embedded within the laptop’s screen. He seems to be relaxing against a tree, though he keeps getting back into the camera again to do something, making the area unclear. The brown bark behind him and a few flittering leaves at least confirm he is outside. He officially takes a seat back, arms tucked behind his head and a grin on his face. ]

Y’know… I’m going to enjoy sticking around for a little while and seeing what this place has to offer, but…

[ His eyebrows lower, cheeks swelling with an exhale he can’t quite release. When the words continue, it pops right out. ]

Someone just said the words "school work" and I almost fell asleep right then and there! Telling you now: nothing in this world is getting me into a desk. Noooot happening.

[ He closes his eyes as a breeze takes hold of him. A smile crosses his face in the same natural breath, and he sighs contentedly, as if that last statement had settled that situation once and for all. ]

I’ve gotta give those Hands a hand, though: They’ve really mastered making you feel a little crazy. 

[ Oh, god, he looks incredibly proud of himself for that one. No, Sonic. No. ]

I’ve never seen hands just floating around like that, though, not unless the Eggster was pushing their buttons, but I guess I’ve seen crazier. Do you have any idea what it’s like to talk to a sword? Do ya? Or to talk to yourself? Like, seriously, yourself - as a separate hedgehog! [ He pauses. ] It’s really cool.

[ Sonic’s voice drifts off, his eyes wandering elsewhere. Within a few seconds a chuckle bubbles right out of him. ]

This place… So far, it's been interesting.

[ Sonic points at the camera. ] But, seriously, I’m not going to class unless someone drags me, and – [ He snorts, an air of arrogance practically fogging up the camera. ] I’d like to see someone try and catch me.
