✧ Chao Garden ✧

[bluestreaker]

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

n-not that we want to be broken, b-baka.

If Shadow had said aloud that his answer was very vague, GLaDOS would have added that it was also satisfying. Regardless, she turned to Shadow for a brief moment.

"Very well, I shall accept that. Make sure to keep what we discussed to yourself."

She then turned back to Sonic, her obviously inhumane eyes borrowing holes into the poor Hedgehog as she glared.

"As for you..." she started, voice fairly calm and restrained. "I don't find that an acceptable answer. Here's why: by admitting that I am incapable of change, even if you understood this, why would you entrust a small child-like creature to me? There is a chance, even if I do have testing robots, that I'd test this little one as well.

So what is the real reason behind your actions?"

OH MY GOD. I must've deleted the TAG I'M SO SORRY screeches

[[ooc: unintentional almost two weeks late. I'm so sorry... u_u I don't know what happened. ughh it's okay to drop this if anyone wants]]

Sonic's ears didn't quite know where to go when he turned back to GLaDOS. One flopped down and the other began to pull back about the same, but they sprung up enthusiastically again. His hand patted the top of the Chao egg as he considered what to say.

"Well, you can't always change who you are, but you can change what you choose to do with that, right?" It makes sense. He'll swear to it.

Sonic's shoulders hopped with a start, much in the way the little egg in his hands had the same idea. Huh!

"Guess it wants outta there soon. I bet it's boring."

LMFAO it happens

Shadow directed his attention away from GLaDOS purposefully, not wanting to deal with her and her jumping to conclusions. He huffed, stepping forth and grabbing the egg away from Sonic, not caring if he got complained at for it. He never did hold a Chao egg before today. It felt so... different from what he anticipated.

"I would not be surprised. It is behaving excitedly-- ?!"

It began to shake and tremble in his hands, something that made him instinctively hold it away from his face, as if it was a potential bomb. It did explode, alright, but it was mild and much more of a small spread of eggshell bits than anything.

Out from that egg was nothing other than a cute, baby Chao, staring straight up at Shadow. You know how a baby creature associates the first thing it sees as its mama?

"... Cha- Chao?" `Mama`.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no.

"H..." How was he supposed to respond to this?! He stared the little guy/gal/whatever it was down, eyes wild from surprise. "Hello?"

And so the Chao latched onto his face.

Welp.
