Action -> Video
[Action!
So, you know that new Floating Island, hovering around up there above the school? Yeah, that one. Some guy just jumped off of it. And sort of floated down to the ground in a slow, spiral glide. Now he's standing there, looking around.
You might recognize him. But he, unfortunately, probably won't recognize you. (Unless you're Sonic or Eggman.)
Feel free to approach, though!]
[There's a new video on the Network.
The first twenty five seconds of it are some kind of black, triangular nose on the end of a peachy colored snout. It moves around and the microphone stutters and wheezes and whoever this nose belongs to can be heard muttering something unintelligible.
Then, a violet eye stares into the feed, blinks several times with a big, red eyelid. Then he draws back so you can see his Echidna-ey face in its full glory.]
First off, I ain't wearing this uniform thing. I was hatched with fur. It's good enough for me, it should be good enough for you.
Uh... anyway. I'm Knuckles. Knuckles the Echidna.
Hmmm...
[He's sort of run out of things to say. He has questions, but he's not really used to talking to a computer. He's used to smashing them to gain extra lives and shields and stuff.]
Anyone know anythin' about the Floating Island above this school? It's kinda important. If you've got info on it, I'd like to know.
So. Thanks in advance.
[You are now treated to over a minute of closeup footage of his white-swooshed chest as he tries to figure out how to turn the computer off.]

Oh! Well. Good? I'm glad I haven't insulted you yet. That'd be... a whole thing. Terrible thing.
[See, now that you've said that? He's flustered and worried that this is exactly what he's going to somehow inadvertently do.]
no subject
Really. Don't worry about it. I'm not easy to offend. [Which was true.] So you may ask anything of me that you need to and I'll do what I can to help you out. Sound like a good plan?
no subject
[He extended a hand for her to shake on it. Because it was kind of like a deal, right?]
In return, if you ever need heavy stuff lifted or just want to watch me lift heavy stuff, just let me know.
no subject
I can do that. I think we will see much more of each other, Knuckles. At least, I intend to make it so. Don't disappoint me, now.
no subject
I.... I look forward to seein' you around.
[He gave a curt nod and a smile and started to walk off. But...]
Thanks. For talkin' with me today. You... uh. It's nice to know I got good folks here, Y'know?
[It made it feel a little more like a place he could be comfortable, even if it wasn't exactly 'Home'.]
no subject
You have plenty of good people here, that I do promise you. I'm sure in time things will become much more comfortable. We're all here to help. Until you need it, however, just take good care of yourself.
no subject
[Taking care of himself, he meant. And more than anything, he was just being polite - taking care of himself was everything he'd ever known after all. He was hardly going to stop now.
He gave her one last wave and started to walk off again. He was smiling too. It was going to take a little work to get her off his mind. It felt almost like cheating, in a way - walking into this place and having great friends that someone else had already made for him. Normally, when he found things too easy he'd get grumpy and dissatisfied. But this time...? This time was OK with him.]
