Sonic scratches behind one triangular ear puzzledly, as the video feed comes on.

"Hey, you guys ever have one of those days where you just couldn't find anything where ya left it? I know this is going to sound kinda stupid, but I think I lost a jungle."

Wait, what?

"Yeah, a jungle! I just woke up and half the islands in the South Sea were barren! I dunno, maybe it's just me? No one else my world notices anything wrong."

Sonic's going on a run, because that's what he does when he needs to sort things out. The problem is, he's running while distracted. He may accidentally run into you, or crash into something nearby, or fall from a ridiculous height after missing a jump (don't worry, he's tougher than he looks) or even miscalculate his momentum and come crashing through your apartment window while you're inside!

Who is that running on a long-distance circuit around the grounds? Not too many people have seen him around here but the green eyes and blue spiky hair look familiar...

Sonic knew he had to test just how far he can push himself in this new form. Which is why he's just as likely to be encountered leaning against objects in over-exerted half-collapse and desperately trying to catch his breath, then actually running. It seems the spirit is willing here, but the flesh... is only human.

Later on Sonic, his normal quill-bearing self, is celebrating the full restock of the cafeteria by personally attempting to deplete it again. Two loaded chili dogs with extra jalapenos, a slice of pepperoni pizza, pasta salad, chips, veggie crudettes, a side of chicken nuggets and three cans of soda in three different colors, all on one tray. How it all manages to stay on without scattering carrot sticks and dipping sauce everywhere on his way to the table, is anyone's guess.

Sonic is riding pretty high. The "inspection" went just like one would expect; an atrocious score, though one that Robotnik MOSTLY deserved in Sonic's mind. Yeah yeah, he'd inflated a few things, but that was just for good measure. Robotnik was a rotten villain to the core even under that servant-to-science exterior, he KNEW it, and he had to keep him in check to keep it from getting out.

But that wasn't all; and in thanks for the times the Sonic Team had saved the world from everything from robotcizing nanocolonies to a giant death laser to a several million tons of space-colony falling out of the sky to vengeful lesser gods, some people in his world had decided to throw a big celebration. How big, you ask?

"National Blue Blur Day!" Sonic recites, covered in confetti and streamers as he strides out of the portal. "I still can't believe it! Well, okay, I CAN believe it. Guess everyone just thinks I'm that awesome! Good thing I can come back here to get away from the crowds... Now lesse, somewhere around here there's a chili dog with my name on it. That third speed demonstration can wait."

He heads cafeteria-ward, still looking like he got into a fight with a New Year's Eve Bash and won. Stop to chat?
