Night. Day. Night. Day. Twilight? Daybreak. Night. Day again.
Somewhere in between running raids on SkullBoneBloodTooth Island and checking out their new Half-demigod-half-celestial's jiggle physics, it seems I.T. has finally managed to chase the bugs to the diurnal cycle simulator; It's like a humongous infant is screwing around with a humongous light switch and having a hell of a good time with it. Day is suddenly night, and ten seconds of darkness later it's day again. It's annoying, and probably the cause of a few more crashes and stubbed toes and accidental gropes after bouncing into each other in the mutable gravity. But overall not the worst that could happen... well, for most people.
"Oh man here we go a-- *PHUFFH!* "AUGH! I'd figure it'd be easier by n--" *PHUFFH!* "But nope, still hurts" *PHUFFH!* "Arawr! Okay this isn't funny anym--" *PHUFFH!* "NNG!"
For Sonic, it's a little more of a problem. It had caught him in the courtyard, and he's now leaning on the edge of the (inactive and algae-brown) fountain. Every time the daylight drops off he goes Werehog with a flash of sickly green light. When it bounces back on, he changes back with another flash. And neither one looks particularly pleasant.
*PHUFFH!* "When I get my hands on them I'm gonna-- *PHUFFH!* "NNG! File a complaint or something..." *PHUFFH!* "As hard as I possibly CAN!"
Talk to him? Try to help? Play out schitzoid daylight problems of your own?
((Red text is Werehog!Sonic, blue is normal, in case context didn't make it clear.))

Every sprain, strain, concussion and internal injury that landed him in a hospital (and there were more than people thought) inevitably turned to "We're going to run some extra metabolic tests while we're at it" and "you don't mind doing one last reflex test do you," and "a deep muscle tissue sample would really help," and finally "it's the most sensible decision you know, signing a release on your genome, there's no way it could ever be used for non-theraputic purposes--"
Yeah, right.
But this was a different situation. Georik probably doesn't know what a genome even IS. And Sonic was starting to feel heavier and heavier in ways that had nothing to do with the grav fluctuations.
"Thanks... Ness. Normally I'd make it there on my own but... Well, I owe you one."
