✧ Chao Garden ✧

Welcome to Smash Academy's Chao Garden!

Who: Everyone!
Where: The Lake
When: Backdated to Sonic's flubbed network post on August 23
What: Looks like Smash has been keeping their lake pristine, because the cutest presence to grace Sonic's universe have taken a liking to it!



Chao (pronounced 'chow', sing. & plur.) have found themselves a comfortable little paradise to call their own on Smash Academy's grounds, enjoying their days swimming around, playing games, and taking a gratuitous amount of naps in the warm kindness of the Sun's light.

Most of what you see around the lake now are these little guys in their more neutral, infant forms, and some of the eggs that Sonic was seen holding in his video post are nestled snug and comfy in tall patches of grass. Either way, Chao have an evolutional struggle to contend with, but perhaps a little help from another life form can give them an idea on what they can truly become.


In order to avoid making this the longest log opening possible, please visit this entry in Sonic's journal for all the information you need about how Chao will work! I had to make some adjustments from the original concept, obviously.

As for the log itself, consider it an opportunity to mingle while picking up your Chao (like the dorm log!) You don't need anything from me. But Sonic is going to be watching the crap out of all of you CHAO POLICE

Sonic studied Shadow within those few precious moments before the other made his open conclusion. How he held the egg, what his face said that his voice wouldn't or couldn't convey. As for his words? Well, it wasn't exactly what Sonic had in mind, but...

"I can help, yeah," he agreed with a temporary adenoidal wheeze to his words. He tipped his head back a little to stop the ticking trickle beneath his nose. At least it was slowing down.

"You will," he sternly corrected, luminescent eyes narrowing in his direction. "I am not going to raise one of these on my own when it is your fault that I am."

Implying that he was going to anyway...? Hmph. Shadow already regretted his wording. For now, however, he ignored the Chao egg, reaching down to yank a glove off of his left hand. With that out of the way, he reaches a bare finger upward to wipe at the blood dripping down his friend's nose.

He dipped his lids downward, eyes poised to stare down at the ground.

He was apologetic, but he doubted that needed to be spoken.

I'm just going to be the one to point out the ghosting of certain fics here

Sonic's reflex was to lean back from his approaching digit at first, but he pressed right into it when he consciously concluded that hostility didn't exist. Sonic's lips were dancing with amusement as he hed back chuckles, and he stood as patiently as twitching toes would allow, waiting for Shadow's apology to complete. When finished, Sonic gave a playful flick to Shadow's palm as it hovered.

"I'll be back!"

And he took off, making a few stops along the way, but with one goal in mind.

HAHAHAGHAUDHGUGH

"...?"

He bolted so fast that Shadow couldn't even protest. At the thought, he flinched -- he wanted to make him stay? -- and stroked the top of the egg unknowingly. His mind wasn't focused on his hand, on anything, as he stared out into the lake, lids falling heavily over weary eyes.

Just what was he planning? He was both curious and hesitant to find out.
