[Action] Enter the sandstorm.

[In the morning when Blue wakes up, Acacia lets herself out of her ball to greet her momma before the day starts. Normally, she'd go out for a bit to get some fresh air and stretch her legs before returning to the room to relax. However, today shall be a different day. A break in the cycle, if you will.

The Sandslash has been getting a little restless in her ball for some time now and finally decides that today is the day she is going to take up a human form. So, wanting to surprise her momma and little bro, she sneakily approaches the crazy headmaster to enroll as a student and acquire a transformation accessory. And, tempting as it is to make a grand and showy announcement of her presence over the network, the Sandslash decides she'd rather personally greet everybody and surprise her family and friends in the flesh. That would create a better, lasting impact, she believes. So, here you have a spiky brown haired girl roaming about the campus looking for her family and aiming to strike up a conversation with anyone interesting.

Will you unfortunately be within sight of Acacia? Approach her? Avoid her?]

Oh man. She was sitting super close. Like, he almost imagined her could hear her heart beating kind of close.

Gulp.

"I... uh. I don't know much about 'em either, yet. Trying to learn, though."

Man, what were other manners you were supposed to use with people? Wasn't he forgetting something kind of important? Oh, wait!

"...my name is Knuckles. Knuckles the Echidna."

Oh sweet merciful chaos - she was playing with his dreadlocks. What was he even supposed to do at this point?

"Uhh... Acacia." he managed to say through a dry throat. "That's... Nice."

She thought Echidnas looked cool? He had no idea what a Sandslash was, to be honest. But he wasn't surprised she'd never seen one of his kind, considering he was the last one.

"....thanks. I think you look cool too."

Were you supposed to tell girls they looked cool? Was that an appropriate compliment? Didn't they like being called pretty more than cool? The thought of saying something like that, though, made his cheeks burn even redder. He wouldn't dare be so forward!

"M-my knuckles? Thanks. They're pretty useful. Use 'em to dig and climb and fight and stuff."

Hey, at least she could tell he was a fighter. That must mean he didn't look too foolish, even if he was tongue tied and hardly able to string together a sentence.

"I'm a real good fighter. It's one of my favorite things to do, actually."

"You like to fight too? Really?"

That seemed to bring him out of his shell a little. He was still red in the cheeks, but he grinned up at her.

"What kinda fighting do you like to do? You're a student, here?"

"Mixed martial arts is my jam!" Knuckles replied, throwing a few punches in the air. "I like to concentrate on any style that makes the most of my fists! Hey, we should have a spar!"
