Cici:

Cici here! To start off, in order to make this possible, Tails was actually able to connect to Shadow’s microphone! ..Though the audio is a bit static-y. I’m not sure how much time we have before it breaks up, so let’s not take too long.

 

Anyway~!

 

In order to make things more fun for everyone, I suggested a Q&A for each one of you to answer in your respective spaces, and by order of majority vote among the other members (you were the only one that voted against it..), here it is! You're up first, Shadow~!

 

Shadow:

Just get on with it. I don’t have all day.

 

Cici:

Don’t you, though..? 

 

Anyway, let’s get going. To start off, can you introduce yourself?

 

Shadow:

[He draws a long sigh.] If I have to…

 

As I'm sure you are all aware, I'm Shadow the Hedgehog, A.K.A., the Ultimate Lifeform. Chaos energy runs through my veins, not only supplying me with lifeforce and immortality, but allowing me to bend time and space to my will.. within reason, of course. Just like Sonic, I have super speed.. but mine is far better. My air shoes make me look ten times cooler while doing it, after all. I mean, who isn’t impressed by the hover skates? 

 

On another note, while my abilities are amplified by the presence of a chaos emerald, one is not required for me to be as powerful as I am. 

 

…There. Satisfied?

 

Cici:

With that question, yes. But that was just a warm-up question!

 

Shadow:

[He grumbles indecipherably under his breath.] I really don’t have time for this.

 

Cici:

Hey, don’t worry, Shadow.. I’m not here to cross your boundaries or ruin your night. I’m here to get your mind off of things with a silly little questionnaire. If anything I ask genuinely makes you uncomfortable, don’t feel obligated to answer. I understand that you’ve had a rough time lately. Just try to have fun with this, okay?

 

Shadow:

…Fine. Just don’t go too crazy.

 

Cici:

Woo-hoo! Let’s get going then, shall we?

 

Shadow:

That was a little too enthusiastic. Should I be scared?

 

Cici:

[Ignoring his question] Alright, second question– @shreddiekirin on Twitter asks, “I need to know your opinion on Knuckles.”

 

Shadow:

That meathead? He’s a strong and capable warrior, but there’s not much going on upstairs. The lights are on, but no one’s home. 

 

Cici:

Ouch! Better hope he doesn’t hear you say that.

 

Shadow:

I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true.

 

Cici:

You’re so rude sometimes, Shadow, but I digress. Moving on… @LilNuttyBud on Twitter asks, “So Shadow, I always wondered, what was your life like as a G. U. N. agent? Obviously I wouldn't think you are fully under G. U. N. as you are known to work with others when the time calls, but would be interesting to hear about your work relationship and experience with them.”

 

Shadow:

It wasn’t anything much. I came and went as I pleased, and I made sure to let them know that they were there for my convenience; not the other way around. Yes, we made up, but I’m still not the most fond of them. I was never one for big military operations like that. They’re so easily corruptible that it makes me wary of them. The weaponry I got out of it was pretty decent, though. They let me keep a few of their guns as a trade-off.

 

Cici:

So you say you made up, but it still sounds like you’re holding a grudge… Do you ever let things go, Shadow?

 

Shadow:

Next question.

 

Cici:

O~kay, Shadow. Whatever you want…

 

?!

 

W– Woah. This one’s a bit brutal…

 

Shadow:

What is it?

 

Cici:

Ah, right.. @VoidShadz on Twitter asks, “How do you feel about femur breakers. For no particular reason..”

 

Shadow:

We can skip that one.

 

Cici:

Got it…

 

Next up, @BasicallyShakes asks, “thoughts on lesbian garfield. i’m just curious.”

 

Shadow:

I didn’t know Garfield was a lesbian.. But I’ll support him. Even if I’m a bit confused..

 

Cici:

Aw, you’re sweet. I’ll fill you in on what that all means later. What matters is that you’re supportive– we can fill you in on the details later.

 

The next question is by @blueistblur on Twitter. She asks, “shadow can i put bows on your ears. i have it on good authority that the bows neutralize any rage you'd feel in me putting them on.”

 

Ooh, I’d love to see that! You’d look so beautiful in a couple of bows. 💗

 

Shadow:

Gh… I guess.. If they go with a good outfit, I’m not opposed to wearing bows.. I’m not wearing them by themselves, though..

 

Next.

 

Cici:

Alright, alright, Shadow.. I’ll let that one go. Onto our final question–s? of the night, then.

 

Since two users asked similar questions, I’m going to bunch them together here. @peachiirin on Twitter asked, “once you get out of the void, because you WILL (I’m being hopeful and optimistic), what do you look forward to doing first?” Aww, the optimism is super sweet of them, and I agree– you’ll make it out Shadow. We believe in you! 💗

 

Shadow:

Thanks.

 

…What was the other question that you said was similar?

 

Cici:

The other one was sent in by @cerisestarfruit on Twitter. She asked, “What are you going to do after leaving the void? ^_^”

 

Shadow:

I hadn’t.. really thought about it. When I first entered the void, I had a plan, but knowing what my reality is.. I don’t know anymore. I suppose I’ll leave that option up to Tails and Sonic to do as they see fit with me. They’re the ones that want me alive, and I owe a great debt to them.

 

Cici:

…

 

Shadow:

??

 

…Are you crying??

 

Cici:

N... No…

 

Shadow:

[He lets out a sigh.] I’m gonna have to end it here. Cici is.. A bit too emotional right now.
