"Ah... that was... no... me and my big mouth," Silver coughed uncomfortably, giving his tail a swish. "The future I come from, it was.. I guess it's what you would call post-apocalyptic? It was nothing like," he gestured at the area around them, the happy people and the celebrating. " This. I was tricked into thinking that you were the person responsible for why everything was destroyed and well..." he gestured again. " I was wrong. I guess this is kind of weird to say since you don't even remember any of it but, uh," swish swish went the tail, " I'm sorry?" Shaking off that awkward confession, the hybrid switched gears, his tail continuing to sway behind him. "But yes. Little Planet! I'd heard the legends about a small planet of miracles. When I could no longer use Chaos Control to time travel, I sought out the time stones. That's how I got here now! That's where I just came from!" Swish swish. Swish.Silver blinked as though something strange had just caught his attention. He glanced down behind him. "WHAT THE HELL?!"

Sonic seemed all-too-oblivious to the frustration and/or confusion that was present on Shadow's face as they oh-so-casually continued their wild conversation about a thing that the hedgehog figured to be common knowledge amongst his peers. "Aha, yep - I figured that if time traveling was involved, it would've involved those stones somehow--" And then, all-too suddenly, Silver exclaimed out in horror, and reacting upon instinct, Sonic hurtled over to Silver, grabbed the back of his head, and brought the both of them down to the floor to avoid whatever threat was inbound to their location. Sonic on the ground, Silver face-down in the dirt, the hedgehog stayed tense as he looked back and forth in the supposed direction that the hybrid had been looking. "... Shadow, I can't see anything. Did they get away?"

Admittedly Shadow did flinch at Silver’s yell, his body reacting by tensing, ready to move if need be and his ears flicking to try and shut out the sudden burst of noise. What in Chaos’ name was it now? The black hedgehog just raised a brow and stared down at the two hedgehogs on the ground as he glanced about for whatever Sonic thought was “attacking” them. Nothing. He let out a slight sigh, “Get up, idiot.” His gaze turned slightly to Silver, pinned beside the blue hero. “What is it?”

"OOMGPOH" Silver choked as he was flung down into the dirt. "H-hey!" Silver spat. "N-no, stoppit, that's not--COME ON get off!" He shoved Sonic off of him and sat up, readjusting his gloves and brushing himself off. Looking behind him again, he gave another flick of his tail. Now that the sensation had been brought to his attention, he felt completely and utterly weirded out by it. Bringing a hand up to his face, he felt at it. That felt normal. He pressed further upward until he was feeling the top of his head. His fan-like bangs were still there, except now they seemed to be a mix of both fur and quills. His face contorted and his mouth fell agape. He continued to feel back toward the two large spikes on the back of his head. Quills. "What the hell AM I?!" by this point, the hybrid was both shaking and hyperventilating. "I'm--I'm not a hedgehog anymore?! A-at least I think I'm still part hedgehog or something maybe?! I-I don't--hochaoshochaoshochaoswhatthehellWHATHAPPENEDTOMYFREAKING TAIL?!" He turned, staring at Sonic and Shadow in disbelief. "What the HELL did you two do to the timeline?!"

Sonic rolled away a bit as Silver tossed him aside, eventually coming to rest his head upon his hand, propped up by an elbow as he lay sideways, tap-tap-tapping the fingers of his other hand on the ground, just a touch impatient with this.. behavior. And then, came the next accusation. Sonic glanced in Shadow's direction with a quirked brow, before a half-lidded gaze settled upon Silver again. "Uh, come again? What did we do?" The blue blur rubbed a pinky in his ear with his free hand, now a little confused, and, admittedly, maybe a bit frustrated. "What eeeever issues you're workin' out, dude, ain't on us. You're the one that messed with them time stones, yeah? Maybe you shouldn't'a messed with that."

Red and black fur bristled as Shadow clenched his teeth. More accusations, more panicking, more ruining his preparations. This was supposed to be a quiet, peaceful day! And what the hell was he yelling about now? His tail? As if that was different now and was somehow –their- fault. Shadow let out a scoff, following up Sonic’s comment with his own, “Even if it were somehow our own fault, we wouldn’t remember due to the alteration in the first place.” Silver seemed genuinely insane at this point, sat on the floor in a state of complete hysteria. The idea floated across Shadow’s mind that, what if it was all true? What if it was this simple to change time? Begrudgingly he had to agree with Sonic that stranger things did exist but it was simply too much, too convoluted. He couldn’t be gullible enough to fall for someone rambling about knowing them in another time. In the end it didn’t even matter anyway. Even if Silver was telling the truth, so what? There was no immediate threat to –this- timeline so why was he even still standing here tolerating this? Simply because of a fringe hope that time wasn’t set for himself either. The thought that had been lingering in the back of his mind all throughout this conversation, that he could go back and change what happened. That was not possible. There was no point wasting his time considering it.

And with those words, Silver could feel a damp warmth forming at the sides of his eyes. The hybrid's face flushed with color, and he pulled in a few shaky breaths. Shuffling clumsily, he pulled himself back to his feet, wiping an arm across his eyes. His face knit together into a grimace. "Just.. forget it... it's no use..." He began motioning to turn, but not before he shot a teary-eyed glare at Shadow. Or rather, behind Shadow. The sombrero that had laid on the ground since Shadow discarded it lazily began to float into the air. Silver gave a small nod, and with a quick snap the sombrero was shoved tightly over Shadow's head. Silver turned and began to shamble off.

If this was a con then Silver was committed to the part. If it was a delusion then…Shadow did feel a slight sting of guilt at seeing the hybrid in tears but still, it wasn’t his job to indulge this kind of fantasy. He met Silver’s glare with his own, practically trademarked, scowl…until he noticed the minkhog was staring past him. He looked over his shoulder a second too late as the sombrero was jammed over his head. At that moment Shadow came to two realisations. The first being he could clearly hear his blue rival chuckling from his spot on the floor, which just made his blood boil that much more than it already was from this humiliation. The second being that Silver possessed some kind of ability. That trash can from before that had been too high off the ground, Silver must’ve done that. If it was that easy to attack or get the drop on him why didn’t Silver just do it? Instead he chose to make a fool out of him, the Ultimate Lifeform. Shadow bared his teeth in a growl as his fur wafted like a breeze blowing through it. A bright red aura erupted around him as he grabbed the sombrero from his head and threw it in Sonic’s direction. He wanted to go after Silver and make him pay for this insult, today of all days. An image flashed in the chimera’s mind, a blonde girl staring at him with a look of hope. He took a slow trembling breath in as his fists shook in rage. As he exhaled the red aura faded away. He wanted answers more than he wanted to see Silver in pain. Glancing to the blue hedgehog by his side, Shadow just let out a “Hmph.” Before blinking up to the top of a nearby building and looking around while trying to keep out of the bright carnival street lights. Now where had that “time traveller” gone?

"Oof..!" As he caught a face-full of hat, Sonic peered over the brim and watched as Shadow vanished into thin air, before catching his reappearance on the building close by. Not content to just there while everybody else wandered off, the hedgehog hurled the hat from his person, and took off at a run, one with enough movement to allow him transport up the side of Shadow's current perch. He hurled himself into the air as a blue orb as he got near the top, arcing over the edge of the building and planting himself flashily next to Shadow. "Tch, my way to get up here was more fun." Standing up tall with a stretch, he looked out, trying to see what exactly Shadow was searching for... though, he had a hunch, and as per his usual way of going about things, he ran with it. "So... a moment ago, y'couldn't care less about 'im, but now, you wanna find him again? What's up with that?"

The black furred hedgehog barely flinched as Sonic landed beside him, his focus was still set on scanning the streets intently. He didn’t necessarily like his blue counterpart being there but he wasn’t going to chase him away either. What Sonic did was his own business…until he became too irritating. “Something still feels off about him.” He spoke in reply to the speedster’s inquiry, “You saw the power he has. If he’s making up his story about knowing us then he could be a threat.” That would be simplest, just another enemy, another opponent to fight. The alternative was what bothered Shadow more. “But if he truly is from the future then why come back? Why would things be different? What if we really did change something that we don’t remember?” Something caught Shadow’s attention and he felt like he’d been punched in the stomach. The festival he was here to prepare for. Families walking hand in hand to the church, to remember those they lost. That was why he’d been drawn to this holiday. Silver claimed they knew one another, he’d not been aggressive and…assuming he was being honest, had walked away in tears because two people he seemed to trust had been so dismissive of him. If their memories had been affected then presumably everyone in this timeline’s were also. Silver was alone here.

And alone was exactly how Silver was feeling at that moment. Stumbling toward the direction of the festival, Silver found himself surrounded by family, dancers and people with their faces painted like skulls. Were it normal circumstances, he would have been more curious to learn about what was happening around him. As it was, however, he hugged himself close, as though attempting to close himself off from the festivities. The loud blare of the Spanish music made this incredibly difficult. "Damn it.. damn it, Silver..." he mumbled. He crumpled down beside a set of stairs leading into a shop, wiping an arm across his face to banish away the dampness. He wasn't great at controlling his emotions at the best of times, but letting himself come to tears like that, in front of those two no less--! Not that it mattered. Neither one of them remembered him. He sighed, pulling his knees up to his chest. "What have I gotten myself into," he continued mumbling out loud to himself. He didn't particularly care if any of the people around him heard him. They all seemed to be speaking in a language unknown to him anyway. "I wish you were still here, Blaze..." At that moment a child came running past him, his foot making its way onto Silver's tail. The hybrid let out a loud yelp.

The hedgehog was about to offer his own thoughts on the matter, until something else caught his attention -- Sonic's ears twitched the moment he heard the screech punctuate the celebratory sounds of the festival. "Oop - There he is!" And, without a moment's hesitation, Sonic hurled himself off the building, and taking off at an instant run the moment his feet touched the ground, going right for the source of the noise, and (rudely) leaving Shadow in his dust.

As usual Sonic was overwhelmingly helpful, pointing out the obvious and offering zero input to the dilemma they –both- were dealing with. Not that he imagined Sonic particularly caring about possible future timelines as he was much more a “in the now” type of person. Shadow hopped from the roof and landed beside the main road which was filling up with people celebrating. The holiday was in full swing by now and Shadow was running out of time. He still had something to do here. With a kick of his feet, his skates whirred to life and carried him after his blue rival. As he slid to a halt infront of the store his crimson eyes first fell on the crying minkhog before snapping up to the doorway behind him. Well this was convenient.

Silver had been sitting there wringing his tail as though he were trying to strangle it when a gust of wind caught his attention. He glanced up, flinching at the sight of the black and red hedgehog standing in front of him. His hackles raised slightly and his already dour expression soured even further. "... What do you want? You already think I'm crazy. Just leave me alone!"

Sonic simply dashed right past the duo, before returning within moments with a few bags of what appeared to be assorted candied desserts. Tossing a bag to both Shadow and Silver respectively, he opened his own and popped a little sugar skull into his maw, snacking on the candy with mild delight. " Mmrp. These things are great. Might make you feel better! Think of it aaaas a present from the past, from me to you!. Also, they got lots o' neat colours on 'em..."

Shadow’s quills wafted up as the blue hedgehog sped past him, drawing his attention just in time to grab the bag from the air as it was thrown at him. Glancing inside, Sonic may’ve saved him a little time. He still needed a few things but this was atleast one aspect checked off. “You paid for these, right?” He asked with a sideways glance towards Sonic as he munched on his own candies. Watching Sonic did irritate him slightly as he couldn’t tell if he actually knew anything about this holiday or was just being superficial about it. A slight smirk crept onto the black hybrid’s face as he chuckled under his breath. He stepped up past Silver towards the shop door behind him, casting a casual “Stay here.” over his shoulder to the two before disappearing inside. A few moments later the door slid open again and Shadow returned with another bag held under his arm, the smell of warm bread spilling out into the street. Reaching in, he pulled out two fist sized bread rolls with a skull image baked into the top and tossed one to each of them.

Silver reached his hands up as though to catch the bag. Instead, the bag halted mid-air in front of the silvery-furred hybrid's face, and he gave a puzzled expression at it. He was just poking his nose inside of it when Shadow walked off, and had fished out a sugar skull by the time the other hybrid had returned. Though Silver had caught the pan de Muertos in much the same fashion, his attention remained firmly seated on the sugar skull. He scratched a bit at it, feeling its texture. The crystalline texture and bright colors fascinated him. Finally, he experimentally placed it into his mouth. The fur over his entire body puffed up and he almost gagged. "ISH SHO SWEET," he coughed, almost spitting it out. But he crunched down on it, determined not to show disrespect after Sonic's kind gesture. Once he'd managed to swallow it down, he held his mouth open as though to air it out. "What was that??" he asked, feeling out bits of candy left around his teeth. " My mouth is tingling!"

"Hm? What was that? Pay?" Sonic just kind of popped another sugar treat into his mouth. They were just kind of hanging out on a table somewhere... Didn't look like a shop. Sonic shrugged and just kept on eating his snack. " Eeehhhh, I think so." He looked at Silver, and had to prevent from snickering too hard, lest he choke on the very skull he was chewing on. Silver... had briefly became a poofy Silver, for just a brief moment, an image that would surely stick with Sonic for days to come. Tucking that tidbit into his memory for later, the hedgehog simply shrugged and dug around in his bag for some more goodies. "These? These are sugar skulls, my friend. A good ol' snack they have 'round these parts during the holiday. There's a lotta themed treats for this occasion - like the other food Shadow got ya, there.." "Either way," Munch. "Y'seem surprised - I take it you never really got to try anythin' like that back home, huh?"

"No..." Silver answered slowly, his focus having been brought back to the Pan de Muertos. He floated the bread closer to himself and stared intently at it, dropping it into his open and waiting hands. His face was etched with a deep look of uncertainty. "Okay... what gives?" he looked up at Shadow. "Earlier you were ready to beat my face in."

“Make no mistake.” Shadow began, giving Silver a stern look, “If you’re lying to us about your story then I still plan to. However so far the most damage you’ve done is waking Sonic from his nap in the garbage so I’m willing to hear you out.” Maintaining the glare, trying to seem threatening, the black and red hedgehog undermined his intimidation by casually tossing a sugar skull into his mouth and crunching down on it. “So start talking. If you’re from the future then why come back here?”

Silver frowned, setting both the bag and the sweet roll down beside himself. He pulled his knees up into his chest. "Because there's no place there for me anymore. Everyone I knew and cared about is gone now. I thought - maybe - I'd at least met a few people here. For all the good that's proving..." he buried his face into his arms at that point. "I'll still take this over where I had been, though."

Silver had mentioned his future being “post-apocalyptic.” Understandable then that he’d want to leave that. Shadow felt a slight pang as he considered the hybrid’s situation. He’d lost everyone he cared about, but people he thought were friends were still here, alive and well but didn’t know him. He tilted his head upward to stare at moon hanging overhead. He recalled what he helped do to it, the sheer destruction he caused, inflicting another wave of guilt onto himself. He’d done that because he’d lost everything and felt alone in the world. As much as he was hesitant about the idea he was considering, e knew…he knew what she would say. “So did you consider at all where you’d be staying once you made it here?” He finally asked, the edge in his voice unintentionally softened.

Oh for!...If it turned out Silver –was- playing him, he’d make him pay for this. Shadow took in a long breath, releasing it as a sigh. He could already tell he was going to regret this. “You can stay with me for a while.”

" Roomies!~" Sonic snickered as he continued to snack on his sugary treats until they were all gone. Looking into the bag with a mild air of disappointment, he crumpled the bag up and chucked the debris into a nearby bin. "Well... in all seriousness, if Shadow's offerin', I think that'd be a good idea. Me, well..." He stretched and looked into the sky for a moment. "... I just kinda ... move around a lot? Probably wouldn't wanna hang with me. I... rarely stop."

Silver lifted his head up, shooting a puzzled glance at Shadow. "I.. you're sure about that? Huh. Thank you." He then cast his gaze onto Sonic. "I'm the same to be honest. But it's been more-so out of survival than out of want. I think.. it would be nice to be able to stay in one place. For once."

Shadow flinched slightly at Sonic’s squeeing assaulting his ears. “Don’t you live with your fox friend?” He asked with only a pinch of interest. He marched down the steps past Silver. “Also so you know, I live in outer space.” He threw out casually, still looking down into the bags on his arm. “I need to grab a few things before we go first.”

The hedgehog stretched and yawned loudly, a sign that he was starting to get a bit... antsy. " Weeeylp, I s'pose we're cool, now? Like... you're here, you've got a new roommate -- a space roommate, how cool is that? -- annnd... well, there's not much we can do to really figure out what else is going on with, uhrhh.... with..." The hedgehog just sort of gestured to... all of Silver, in regards to his apparently unexpected visual appearance. "... this? Like, iunno. Maybe Shadow had a fight with a butterfly, and that just did that, uh... caterpillar effect, or somethin'..."

"Outer space??" Silver's eyes gelled over with a look of wonder, his eyes instinctively trailing up toward the sky. "That's... that's so cool!" he said, jumping up to his feet. His sense of awe didn't last for long, however, as Sonic's comment brought him back down to earth with a look of concern. He looked behind himself, giving his tail a swish. That still felt weird. "I.. I was my normal self before I used that time stone... maybe I did cause this...?"

Without even looking back Shadow scoffed at Sonic, “You assume it’s my fault and not yours.” He wasn’t really considering Silver’s reaction. There was no way of knowing anymore who caused this but it was what it was. They just had to deal with it. “And yes I’d say you’re no longer needed, hedgehog. If we need someone to make comments that aren’t nearly as amusing as they think then we’ll come find you.” And with that the hybrid strode off, assuming Silver would be following. Afterall, he had wasted so much time already and now the festival was in full swing. He’d hoped to be back on the ARK by now.
