What could you do if it was too hard to resist? A new Sonic game..? But it wasn't ever advertised.. is it a demo? Curiosity eats until it's full.
But satisfaction only brings suffering. Suffering in a new world with different rules.
And you forget...

A/n is alternate name for the sake of well... y'know
The more of this I write the more I think maybe this should be a separate act due to the breaks not really matching the themes... But also... no.

The three were walking through the forest. Trying to shake out the adrenaline they were feeling. Well, except one who was skipping slightly ahead. Bells ringing a random song that didn't have a seamless melody. The birds chirped as the dark storm clouds overhead didn't falter. Making the walk dreary. Even if one was skipping merrily along the beaten path. One thing Sonic noticed was how much darker everything was. From the leaves to the flora. It was just.. So dark in comparison to Mobius. And the wildlife looked different too.
Sonic huffed next to the human in purple. His ears twisting back in his distaste that he was held back. "Why'd you stop me?" He huffed out. "I could've taken him down, no problem!"
"Nuh-uh!" The one skipping cut in. Their playful air made him flick an ear toward him. Both humans had such contrasting personalities. And their words made him raise a brow. "He can't be wounded. Your hits would be useless!" Oh. That made more sense.
No it didn't.
"Huh? How?"
The human, dawned with bells and (color) clothing only giggled. Finally stopping as soon as they heard the two behind them pause in the tracks. "Mer! Exposition please!"
"Yes my— my friend." 'Mer' turns to the hedgehog, looking down with melancholy. "He bears the scabbard of Excalibur." She explained, like it was common sense. That name alone made the blue hedgehog perk up. His ear twitched.
"Hey, wait a second... I think I've heard that name before!" He scratched under his chin. Looking up into the grey clouds with thought. "Uhmm.. Lemme see..."
Finally, the human with bells whirled around with a big grin. Making the hedgehog pause looking at them. Well, looking at you. Dawned in the robes of a jester. He never thought he'd see the day. Then again, he thought you were basically royalty. To instead be royalty's entertainment surprised him. "Excalibur is King Arthritis' sword!"
"It's King Arthur, my.. my friend."
"Details details." They waved a hand at her. Dismissing his name in general. A playful air about them as they winked at her. "Besides, do you really want to use his name when that's basically respecting his name?"
"Well no, but it is how we've been referring to him as."
"He's technically not even the king, Mer. Who cares about respecting him?"
"I can't with you sometimes.."
The hedgehog shook out of his stupor upon hearing the name. Giving an equally wide grin upon recognition. "Oh, yeah, right! So that means..."
