Carnival Night Act 1

Tina watched Ethan for a while, thinking. He did seem to resemble a little bit... She shook her head. She'd talk with the boy later. First she should check on David. Tina walked in and flopped down on the stool next to him. "How are you doing Fuzzy? Have any of the salves or bandages helped?" |

David grinned a little, chuckling. "Fuzzy? That's my new name now?" He glanced at Tina and smiled before looking down at the unopened photo album. "Yeah...they're helping. Thanks for that. My arms are just sore, now. I think my bones have healed, because they don't feel broken anymore." He then looked up and studied the Gypsan. "How about you? Are you okay?" (( The potential letter can be in the photo album. )) |

Tina ruffled her feathers. "Me? I'm fine I was just looking into the past to see if it held any answers to the present and future." She glanced down at the closed photo album and picked it up. "Looks like you are doing the same." She glanced around and sighed. "I suppose the difficult times we've had recently lead us to ask questions like these. I really wish we didn't have to endure this nightmare. Sometimes when things are this bad I wonder if there really are any gods above and if they even care about us, or else why would they let us suffer through this?" She handed the album to David with a smile. "My mother always used to say that they do care, and that is why they let us suffer. If we didn't, we'd never grow, never improve." |

David took the album, but didn't open it right away. He let it sit in his lap as he sighed softly. "Not...exactly. It's never been opened. My 'parents' didn't care enough to stick around...so...why a photo album? Photos of what? I just never bothered looking until now..." The hedgehog paused, gazing thoughtfully at Tina. "You know...if you go with the idea that all things have an opposite...gods exist because demons do. And, of course, I like to think there's an Almighty Being of sorts out there, looking over us. And...I think everyone needs to face suffering, and overcome it. You become a stronger and better person if you take it the right away. Besides...if it weren't for all of this insanity, you and I wouldn't be sitting here together right now. We'd never have met Ethan. I think we're all better off for it." |

"Yeah. Opposition in all things. I agree." Tina scooted the stool closer and leaned on the bed's headboard, letting one hand rest on the top of David's head. "Well open it then! You're telling me you want answers but you've never bothered looking where they might be! You...are ridiculous." She scratched the top of his head gently. "Of course I can't judge too harshly, my parents and I got along very well...until father sacrificed himself to let the rest of us escape...a nightmare." Edited by Smashmaster, Jul 21 2013, 09:11 PM.

David groaned, both at what the girl said and how much he liked having his head scratched despite being embarrassed by it. He tried to fight the goofy smile that showed on his face. N-no...I'm not a...rrrrrrrrr...dog. His smile instantly vanished as he held Tina's hand lightly. "I'm sorry to hear that...your father must have been a great man, to do that. Self-sacrifice isn't an easy decision; but it's easier when you do it to protect others you care about." The hedgehog picked up the photo album, flipping through it. His eyes gained a bit of pain as he saw photos of organisms festering in tubes. "...I...guess that's me. There. You know...I basically skipped being a baby and a kid. I think I'm even younger than you, years-wise. I'm fine mentally. Cassidy's still kind of a kid, despite being older. My younger sister in years, but also mind-wise. It was hard, growing up." Suddenly, his thumbing through it caused a letter to fall out of...the back cover? David carefully peeled apart what he thought was binding. Inside was more photos. These photos commonly had three figures. One was a blonde she-hog with bright purple eyes. In the photos where she was younger, her quill-hair was shorter and just barely to her shoulders. She was always grinning or laughing. Another was a serious-looking gray hedgehog with an abundance of fur and rough quills. His dark blue eyes were stormy; he rarely smiled. And the last...a fox. He looked like the leader of the three. "What's all this...?" David looked at the photos closely. A workshop, bases, missions, and...a wedding? Smoke was actually smiling slightly in that picture. The blonde female appeared to be more mellow but still cheerful, with long quill-hair tied back into a graceful ponytail. Both of the hedgehogs looked considerably older. What are these doing here? |

"What the!?" Tina snatched the letter from David and stood up. "I know...I knew these people!" Neb again? It can't be coincidence... "Cassidy! Ethan!" When the two came running downstairs, Tina glanced from the she-hog before her to the on in the photo. Unmistakable... She glanced at David...he did mention his fur had changed color... Tina handed the letter apologetically back to David. "This...doesn't make any sense." Parents? Test subjects? They weren't like that...what is going on? Was this all interconnected in some terribly twisted way? |

David took the letter back with a confused look. "You knew...our 'parents?' Wait--but...you're right. It doesn't make sense." He peeled open the thick back cover even more, revealing a mass of tape-recorded messages and handwritten notes. Cassidy immediately moved forward to look at the pictures, her eyes widening. "What...what's all this, David?" "...Answers, I guess. But...not what I was expecting. Tina--you say you knew them. How? Were they scientists? If not...what happened? The few memories I have...they were cold, cruel people. And then, one day...they just died." |

Ethan squeezed up with the others sensing this was important. Tina took a deep breath. "Smoke and Electra were good friends of that guy, Neb Dejar, and I. The were fighters, not scientists. In fact...I remember that Electra always had me tend her wounds because she was terrified of hospitals and labs." She shook her head, "Smoke may have been focused and serious, but he was very caring, and so was Electra." She looked at the photos in their hands again. "There is no way the people in those pictures are who you describe." |

David closed his eyes, frowning. He thought back...and then shook his head. "No. I definitely remember them. They looked like this. Only...they never smiled. They always seemed so cold, and just...scary, really." He picked up a recording before looking back at Tina. "Hey...do you think you could tell me some more about this Neb guy? Maybe that'll give us some clues." |

Tina nodded. "I will in a moment. I also think Neb might be the link here." She turned to the little grey fox. "Ethan, do you remember your parents?" "No." "Not at all? Not even your mother?" "Well...I do remember...a face. She was a cat. With purple fur. She was...sad." Tina smiled and pulled out the picture from her own bag. "Did she look like this?" Ethan's face was shocked. "That's her! Only she's happy in this picture! Who was she Tina!? What was she like!? And that guy?" Cassidy leaned in. "Hey that's the same guy, Neb De-what you called him." Tina took a seat and let Ethan scramble into her lap with the picture. "Her name was Edo or Edward. I didn't get to know her too well. She left sometime after Neb died, to go live with her uncle I think. But I do know this, she had a powerful impact on Neb. She gave him confidence in himself." She looked at David. "Neb was separated from his parents as a child, and wound up wandering from spaceport to spaceport as an urchin. That was when I first met him. My family took him in for a while, until tragedy struck us as well. I next met him here on Mobius. He was a great fighter and a skilled mechanic, as I recall Edo was as well. That must have been what drew them together. I don't suppose you are an inventor too Ethan?" "I'm sorry...I guess not." She scratched the little fox's head, "Well I suppose not all character traits are passed down. But you have your mother's good looks and your father's strength, and a great loyalty to friends, also a trait of his. Neb mostly fought with weapons, and a wrench, while Smoke and Electra had powers. At least that is what I remember. But after some clashes with other aliens in space...I remember him beginning to develop powers too." "What happened to him Tina?" She looked into the little fox's eyes. "He pulled in more energy than his body could take and used it to keep the sun from going supernova and killing us all. That's the kind of person he was." She looked up at David and Cassidy. "And that's the kind of people Smoke and Electra were as well." |

David lowered his head, still looking troubled. I...I want to believe her. But...then why...why was I always so scared around them...? And why would they infect Cassidy and I with demon blood? "...You're lucky, cowboy." David looked up, rubbing Ethan's head as he chuckled again. "Your father must have been a great man. Makes sense, seeing as how you--Cassidy, what're you doing?" The brunette she-hog had snatched a tape from the pile and was placing it into the VCR. "Exactly what it looks like I'm doing, David! I want to see our parents." "..." David looked away, still feeling uncomfortable. It showed. Cassidy fist-pumped excitedly as the tape began to play. First, there was an empty room. Then a large pair of purple eyes filled the screen as the blonde she-hog fiddled with the camera. She backed up, eyeing it as a grin slowly spread over her face. This was an older tape, judging by how young she looked. "...Wait...is is playing? Oh--oh hey I can see the little red light! We're good to go! Smoke, come say hi!" "..." The she-hog huffed, turning the camera. The gray hedgehog was laying on a couch, hands folded across his chest and eyes closed. "Smooooooke, c'mon! Have some fun for once." "Electra, this is stupid." His voice was rough, and he coughed and hit his chest a few times, a brief look of pain flashing on his face. The she-hog sat down by him, looking worried. "Your heart's bothering you again? I know you took a hard hit during the mission, but I didn't think it'd be long-lasting..." "Well...it is. But don't worry. I'm tough, remember?" The gray hedgehog opened his eyes a little, still frowning as he showed off his dark blue eyes. "Just worry on keeping yourself safe." There was a moment of silence before Electra smiled again, laughing. "...Eheh. But you got a few good punches in before that, huh? You master of martial arts, you." A small smile appeared on the male's face, obviously against his will. He shook his head; Electra punched him lightly in the shoulder in return. "Yes you did! Admit it and stop being so modest." "All right, all right," the male finally chuckled. "I admit it. I'm awesome." The door opened, surprising both of them. Electra was instantly alert, ears forward and sitting on the edge of her seat. Smoke simply turned his head sleepily, his frown back in place. The girl suddenly gasped happily. "Oh my gosh, Neb! I'm so glad you showed up!" The fox had walked in a few feet before looking at the camera. He then blinked and started to go back up the stairs. "Nope." "No, no, wait c'moooooon! We need to document this stuff for future generations!" The blonde she-hog grabbed the fox's arm and started pulling him back down the stairs. "Neb, please...? This is important. We need to document all of our missions and thoughts and stuff to inspire future heroes. Maybe our kids can watch these someday!" "I'm not getting married," Smoke grumbled off-handedly. "Not lovey-dovey enough for that." Cassidy was starting to tear up with happiness, seeing her parents for the first time. David, however...he looked extremely uncomfortable and a little upset. He obviously didn't like seeing this. |

The fox on the camera grinned and shook his head while twirling a wrench. "Heros? El, I think you are forgetting something...I'm best friends with a world-class criminal!" Ethan gasp for a moment. "Oh Neb come one, you know Stripes is a good guy. What I don't get is how you can team up with him AND leasion with the police department!" The fox put a finger to his nose, "That's my little secret. Ok so we're good guys. What makes you think we're heros? I'm just a regular guy trying to keep from screwing things up again." The hedgehog huffed. "Neb will you stop being so paranoid? As to the hero thing, I think she is refering to all our clashes with Eggman." "And aliens! And demons!" The fox paused. "Well I guess you have a point, but on that subject, I need to go check the scanner, I saw an unusual shooting star on the way over here. I've got a hunch it's a ship." With that the fox moved off on up the stairs. |

"Aww, okay. We'll end it here, then. Next time!" Then the tape ended. Cassidy immediately grabbed the bag, shuffling through the tapes. "Most of these are videos. And...they're all dated! So we can watch them in order. None of the personalized videos are voice recordings...weird." David was sill silent. His sister looked over at him. "...Uhm...David...?" "Just...play them, Cassidy. I'm fine." |

(would you have the 'seed' starting now or have it begin after the xorda attack where Neb dies?) Neb winced as Electra applied salve to his burns. "Easy near the distorted flesh!" "That stuff reaks. What did he hit you with again?" "It's Quilda venom. It'll make your flesh rot away. I may have gotten the antidote...but not before loosing 10% of my muscle mass." The hedgehog shook her head, "Why are you making me tend your wounds? That feathery girl Tina is a much better doctor." "Tina has had a run in with Khorne before, I don't want him to find out she's on Mobius." "That Tina is a nice girl. I'd hate to see her trashed up like you. Actually from what you say, this Khorne guy would likely just break her neck. Why don't we hit him first?" Neb shook his head stubbornly. "No Smoke. Khorne's vendetta is with me. I don't want anyone else getting involved. If he kills me, maybe he'll leave you all alone." (josh it's hard to get back into Neb's 'constantly afraid' mindset, now that I'm alot more confident in real life!) |
