Who: Sonic the Hedgehog [

bluestreaker ] & you there on the horizon
What: Sonic's acting suspicious.
Where: General campus area and woods
When: At sunset on October 17 and every sunset onward.
Other: Action tags or prose welcomed.

It was to say that it wasn't without immense difficulty that Sonic could act as normal. Eggman had really turned his world on its head and the end result was someone he cared for being caught in the crossfire. He had suspected, however, that it might've been Eggman's intention all along. Not that it made it any better.

Seeing as he felt he had little choice, every evening when the sun began to set, Sonic would leave the dorms. He'd never say anything and he'd never be around the buildings after the sunlight had distanced itself from the academy. If anyone had been paying attention or attempted to interact with him, his cheery nature seemed forced. If anything, he looked exhausted and worn, beaten into submission by something within the back of his mind. Not that you'd exactly know it, but perhaps the more perceptive would find it worrisome when he'd stop smiling as soon as he was finished talking and take off in the same heartbeat.

Out the dorms and into the depths of the woods. This was his new routine. And, he could tell ya, he wasn't particularly enjoying sleeping in the woods every night since he found himself injected with this Werehog disease all over again. All that mattered was staying away from everyone until he knew how to combat Eggman's overpowering whistle.

Whenever that would be.

[ooc: So once the sun goes down, Sonic turns into this guy. Depending on when you bump into him, you might catch him as hedgehog and watch him transform or just start with the fluffers.]

Well there was a familiar face.

Sonic wouldn't call himself a surprise, but considering he was decorated in sheets of fur, he could be wrong about that. He was keeping to a branch high above Noel's head, the girl's blonde hair sticking out in the darkness of the terrain. He wasn't sure if he should approach her, but she had a concerned expression, so maybe he could.

He took a jump off the branch and landed behind her. Being a tad heavier and larger, it wasn't exactly done soundlessly, especially with the fallen leaves crunching beneath the spikes on his sneakers. He paused to let the noise ring out, then twisted toward Noel nervously. NO GUNS, PLEASE. ~~Unlikely, right~~

Noel was trying to keep her guard up. But despite that, her heart raced, her palms were sweating and her entire body trembled. She was more than capable of defending herself, but. God forbid something actually did pop out to get her...

That's when Sonic landed behind Noel and she screamed.

"AAAAHHH!"

What was going on here? Was someone behind her? Was it a monster?? A ghost?? Was someone going to attack her? Oh no, oh no, oh no.

"W-w-who's there?"

As much as she didn't want to look at this possible assailant, she turned her body, tears beginning to well up in her eyes due to the sheer terror she was feeling.

"W-what do you want? W-who are you?!" She was too scared right now to even consider that this was anyone she knew.

SIGH.

Sonic hated this part. He was beginning to think Noel was going to wind up seeing him as everything but a hedgehog with every chance meeting they had. In general, he disliked being out of his body, so that added much to his annoyance.

"It's cool, Noel! It's me... Er, again. I mean --" He had to speak quick before she went at him guns blazing again. "Sonic!" He barked, voice rugged and hoarse, a snarl brewing beneath every word. Boomed like a damn shotgun when he tried, really.

Noel let out a high pitched squeak when Sonic spoke. His new voice was intimidating, raspy and just plain scary. At first she was too busy dwelling on her fear to let what he actually said sink in, just fighting back tears in her eyes and trying to keep some air of authority even though she was very clearly whimpering.

But after a moment, Sonic's words finally hit her. Noel didn't know how to respond though, other than just staring at him, eyes wide.

"W-What?"

He said he was Sonic, but... this didn't look like any Sonic she'd ever seen before. Human form included. Unlike that form, though, He didn't sound like himself, either. Not really, anyway. Noel couldn't believe it at first but. After what happened with the last case of mistaken identity, she couldn't rule it out either.

"Yeah, I know. Forgot to shave," he explained playfully, taking a couple steps toward her. He smiled up at her as best as he could, but it didn't come without fangs. "Goes nuts if I don't clip it down every once in awhile."

'Do hedgehogs need to shave?' is what Noel wanted to ask, but there are more important things to address here! Even though she is curious. Whatever the case, Sonic definitely acted like himself. His joking mannerisms, his expression, and the look in his eyes as well. She took more comfort in believing that this was truly Sonic, and such is what she'll believe.

Noel took a tentative step closer to him. Shaving inquiry aside, that didn't explain the big arms and fangs and the bulk up. Not to mention the fluff.

"B-But, you look so... different." she says, looking at her own arms, then back to Sonic's. "What happened to you?"

Well, he had gotten used to that when he went through this last time, but it snagged a frown out of him to hear it again. "It's a long story," Sonic began, not entirely sure he was up to explaining what happened back then along with why it mattered now. "Just know it's Eggman's fault."

... Who?

"Eggman?" Noel hasn't encountered the old doctor as of yet, but her imagination ran wild with possible images of what this egg man looked like. Was it a man who delivered eggs? An egg who wanted to be a man? A man shaped like an egg? Who is this "egg man" and why did he do this to Sonic?

"A big fat baldy with nose hairs that make children cry," Sonic explained without missing a beat. "Sometimes adults, too." It's a pretty intimidating mustache, okay.

But seriously. "We come from the same place and he likes to cause trouble. From turning animals into his robot slaves to giant space cannons to interstellar 'amusement parks' - he's got one heck of an evil résumé." Pause. "The last one had alien enslavement involved. It's not as cool as it sounds." In other words, DON'T TRUST HIM.

Noel isn't completely sure what to picture when Sonic mentions nose hairs other than a very rude talking alien mustache of some sort. It must have been important, he mentioned it more than once. But more importantly, this 'Eggman' seemed like a villain of a high degree! Someone like that shouldn't be allowed to roam the streets!

"T-That's horrible! How could anyone do something like that?"

"I don't know, but I've turned kicking his butt into my job!" He sounded pretty proud of that fact. "Let's just hope y'never have to meet him. He's on staff at the school. I guess." It would always sound more like a cover to him.

"Less ugly topics, though. Whatcha doin' out here, Noel?"
