you live an endless life forever

[ For Shadow, as far as he'd met, there were two Sonics that he trusted more implicitly than the rest. Implicit trust did not come easily for the black hedgehog, and trusting enough to tell another some of his past, though mild, was more trust than he'd give anyone casually. One Sonic he met while in Johto, who he was able to share some of his story with, and come to a point of understanding, especially at a time when he was trying to decide what to do with himself since two very important people had disappeared from the world.

The other blue hedgehog was one that had found him while Shadow had been suffering from hallucinations and intense fear, showing a side he never showed anyone else. That Sonic had stayed by him and managed to bring Shadow back to his former self.

Now, Shadow had holed himself up in a Station Square library, reading a few books. He had a pile of them on a table and was steadily working through all of them... But at the same time, he thought about his recent actions, recent decisions. Was he becoming what the Professor wanted him to be? What Maria wanted? Was Sonic right; that he should be whoever he himself thought was best? Living for oneself was something Shadow never did before. It would certainly take some getting used to.

He flips another page, catching up on history and technological advances made by mankind and different parts of the world. The information was greatly appreciated, allowing him to learn about the people he was supposed to help... for Maria's sake. ]



... Hmph.

[ He reads a quote at the bottom of one page. ] “We can do no great things; only small things with great love.” Mother Teresa... [Shadow leans back against his seat, thinking about the quotation he read.] Is that really true, I wonder.

| Warp Rings, yet not quite. That was the purpose of the objects to found in the 'lobby' area. Gamma found himself perplexed, unable to process any real purpose, benevolent or malevolent, behind it all.

And he could still find no answers in these locations through the rings at first glance. Logic dictated that in lieu of individuals with knowledge of the situation that could be contacted, and without Robotnik's centralized database he could access for data, more traditional hubs of information were the most likely source of explanation.

So that was what brought the robot to the library. The . . . occupied library. Occupied by a familiar face. Without the slightest bit of resevation, Gamma walked right up him, standing over the Mobian. |

Shadow the Hedgehog.

. . .

Do you . . . not recognize me?

[identity profile] wecanhavesouls.livejournal.com 2011-06-09 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, and we have met before.

[identity profile] wecanhavesouls.livejournal.com 2011-06-09 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
My name is Gamma.

| The robot seemed oddly insistent on that point. |

You attempted to prevent my destruction, and arrange for my joining of the G.U.N. organization.

| Somehow, Gamma managed to display an expression of surprise at Shadow's reaction. What was going on? |

At the time we met, you were acting as an agent of G.U.N. Under their orders, you made contact with me and on their behalf, offered repairs to my systems and a position within the organization.

| Well. Gamma stood silently for a moment, processing this. |

. . . the possibilities that you have changed your opinion or lost your memories both exist. However, the probability of either is . . . not high.

The remaining, most likely, conclusion is that you are a Shadow from a differing Zone.

I have no intent of leaving until I have completed my search for information regarding this Zone. However, as you are not the Shadow I know, I will be happy to no longer interact with you.

| That said, he makes his way towards a distant shelf, though still within the hedgehog's view, and proceeds to start scanning through the titles, completely ignoring the Ultimate Lifeform and his glares and threats. |

| A good enough while after Shadow exits, Gamma does the same, carrying a book labeled 'Evolution of Consciousness'.

Not exactly what he'd claimed to be searching for, but really, the odds of him finding answers for that specific question were pretty low.

If Shadow was still anywhere in sight, Gamma paid him absolutely no mind whatsoever, heading off to wherever. |
