Planet Mobius - A Sonic the Hedgehog RP

Yeah, probably no crossovers at this point. There's already a lot to work with that's been left behind already. From the many many characters from the old comics, to stories and characters that will probably never be touched upon again like Chronicles. Definitely will be trying to incorporate elements from older media if possible though.

@Shiny Keldeo

That's all good. I might go for the main Chaotix crew, I do love their shenanigans.

Planet Mobius - A Sonic the Hedgehog RP

I'm gonna keep an eye on this. I have a few ideas, though what this really sparked back was my love of the Worlds Unite story arc from the Archie Comics back in 2015. I've always had a bit of an idea about a roboticized Billy Hatcher since then, but I don't know if this RP really wants to take an old crossover comic into account just to suit one of my ideas. I have other stuff, it's just the top of my list of things I'd like to do lol.

Mirage eyed Link as he agreed the sharks needed to be dealt with. Well, yeah, not that he doubted the guy would. But then he pointed out they could just use the cannons, which caused the spinning of the Arc-Star to cease, his lips dipping as he was given a much less ship-endangering solution than the one he presented. His eyes shifted between Link and said cannons, before he quickly re-attached the grenade to his belt. "Y-Y'know, you've got a point, there." He felt defeated, the idea of killing a hoard of sharks with a grenade now passing by. Though a small thought came to mind. "If we shoot them with the cannons, they'll just be mush though, right? If we can take them out without turning them into shark-splatters we could have a lot of shark to eat off of." As much as Mirage loved fruit, he didn't want to live off of just that. Seafood sounded fantastic, and the sharks were probably a lot more consistent than the Luma Pool fish. Or maybe he was just trying to get an excuse to grenade a shark.

This was quickly followed by a laugh from that masked-mustachio. Mirage squinted his eyes at the man, not ready to let that smack talk slide. "Yeah, big-nose. I don't know what a 'Brobot' is but these things pack enough of a punch with their disruptor blasts to stall a small aircraft carrier, so I bet that thing would be toast, too." He retorted, noticing the slight spark in his palm. Mirage recoiled a little from this, but quickly snickered at his discontent with his little electrical mishap. "Don't worry, I'm sure it happens to a lot of guys." He said with amusement, simply deciding to allow this Mr. L guy to boast about how he'd manhandle the sharks. Alright, if he ended up chewed up like the gum his roommate kept putting under the stools at his bar, he could go ahead.

He let that sit, as they carried into conversation about possibly heading back. Now, Mirage wasn't a captain by any means, and he wasn't terribly good with weather, but the situation did look bad. He wasn't exactly taking sides at the moment, but could acknowledge what made sense. "Yeah-hah, sinking would be a huge no-no. I might be a hell of an athlete but I doubt I'd swim out of here alive, even without the sharks. If we can't be quick about this maybe waiting for a good clearing isn't a bad idea."

Having not questioned what Link was carrying up to this point, he was startled by the suggestion the blue-wearing man made. Some of it's traits? Mirage took one into his hands with curiosity, staring at it and tilting his head at the sight of the spirit. -- Spirit. What did that mean? Was it alive? ... Previously alive? The idea of it was strange, perhaps even morbid. He was surprised that over the months, he hadn't seen one at all, that he could remember at least. But if this thing could help ensure he survives in the water if he WERE to fall in... Maybe it was a good idea to use it. And hell, if it meant he could swim better, then that mustached guy could kiss his ass about the whole swimming thing. It'd also make him a lot less paranoid about falling in at any point, though this whole 'trait' obtaining thing wasn't a familiar concept.

"That... Sounds really, really, weird." He told Link flat-out, though he didn't force the Spirit back to the man in any way. Instead, he looked at it and spoke up again. "But you sound really serious, so I'm gonna just take your word on this one. Swimming capabili-- Cappasabilla- Swim-good powers, here I come!"

With a little hesitation, he pressed the Spirit into his chest. His eyes sort of darted between himself and the surrounding crew as if he was worried he might keel over and die or something, a bead of sweat going down his forehead.

Mirage had just been enjoying the celebrations, until he felt a clap on his shoulder. He turned his head to look at who it was, half of another one of those delicious syrupy bananas in his mouth making him look a little foolish until he realized who it was. He quickly bit the banana and chewed, swallowing it as he listened to the King's appreciation. It was actually a little weird, being thanked by a king, and all. But he wasn't about to shun it, hell no, he'd let that feed his ego a bit for sure. "I'm just glad everything worked out." He responded, thinking back to the Ukazeer and it's child. They managed to avoid a bit of conflict, and were able to help that weird stached' guy too since everyone was in the area. Overall, this felt like a huge success. And since this whole tagging along thing was certified now, he was more than happy as the King asked of his own abilities. Though, people seemed to be getting ready to leave, so the conversation was left alone momentarily as Mirage helped load up the banana hoard so they could set sail.

Mirage also put the leaves to good use; He made a small... Nest, of sorts. For his egg friend. It was just a comfy little out of the way thing, but anyone who saw it would notice it was decorated with the shells he picked up from the beach. Along with that weird heavy rock he found, he figured maybe it'd look enough like a mixture of nest and loot pile to not be bothered. He'd pick the stuff up later, but if they were going to be in a dangerous situation, he wanted to be light and have his hands free. He kept his weaponry and ammunition on him, leaving his tiny stash fancily below as he emerged to talk more with the crew.

As they set sail, Mirage bid farewell to his orangutan friend with a wide wave, the help of the orange fella being greatly appreciated. Thankfully he was pretty lazy by the looks of things, so he wouldn't exactly be trying to tag along or anything. Where they were heading was definitely too dangerous for the lanky-monkey. He would miss his new friend, however. Even if he had many new ones in his place.

He returned to Bowser's question now that they were venturing forth. The peaceful voyage was added to by Mirage showing off his decoy and cloaking capabilities for little tricks and to help educate the crew on what he could do if it was needed, as well as a few trick-of-the-eye 'magics'. He loved to be center stage, and while he was mostly calm up to this point, he was clearly excited and attempting to play the entertainer to be on people's good sides. Not that there was bad intent behind it, though maybe to some it'd come off as a bit too show-boaty. Mirage however was just grinning and having a good time, figuring they could use what smiles they could get before reaching the Bottomless Sea. In the back of his mind, he was honestly scared of what might be out there, but he'd keep a brave confident face. Mirage was brave and confident, after all. A pillar for any fan or Legend to lean on, of course. He'd never shake in his boots at the idea of a sea full of horrid monsters! Nah... Not at all.

Eventually his shenanigans came to an end, and he leaned on the railings to watch the scenery pass by as their trip continued. Crazy, to think he had only shown up today for his vacation, and yet here he was going off on a venture to a hellish sea of monsters. All those resources led him to this opportunity, and it seemed better than just staying at the Guild. Covering much more ground than ever before sounded great: And even if he couldn't find her... Nah, he would. But he'd do some good in the meantime.

---

As they crossed into the boundaries of the Bottomless Sea, Mirage couldn't help himself but to observe the area. Plenty of dead sea creatures, it seemed. Remains were never a good sign, he knew that much. And whatever left them here was surely lurking in some place... Unless they just washed up somehow? Ah, hell, he could think on it some other time. They surely had more current things to worry about anyhow. Like the idea of this storm absolutely clobbering them, right? And as they passed further into the boundaries of this hellhole, he could see why the place was called Bottomless Sea. Jeez, he bet if he fell in here he'd never find the bottom. His thoughts drifted to what could be lurking down there, but that didn't last long as he took note of Nadia pointing out some structure in the distance. His eyes squinted as he looked out, noting the strange beacon in the distance. A sign of life? He wasn't sure how comfortable he was with the idea of there being life out here aside from monsters... They might be some real tough customers. "I don't think we've got better options...' He answered, as he looked for an alternative in a momentary panic. Nope... Just the beacon. Well, darn. At least the storm seemed to be the worst of their worries, right? He thought there'd be a giant sea monster, some alien-armada that'd want them dead, or super treacherous pirates. You know, normal things. But it seemed there was no activity, so he could just chill for a minute and calmly think of...

His eyes shot open at the mention of them already having company. Moving to the back of the ship, he looked out and noticed the sharks himself. Oh, that was just fantastic. He wasn't overly familiar with sharks, but he'd seen the movies! Big teeth, om nom, and such! He wasn't becoming shark food today, and he sure wasn't going to let something impede their progress already. Backing away from the railing, he took a moment to think as his fingers tapped his holster. He could just take some potshots at them, but with them swimming around like they were, that seemed like a big waste of ammo, at least if he missed. His holster-tapping changed to more of a belt-tapping, until he found something on his belt that gave him an idea. Detaching the Arc-Star, he smirked deviously as an idea came to mind. A concern flashed through his head too, however, so he turned to face the crew while twirling the ninja-star looking grenade on one of his fingers.

"If I throw this sucker in, it'll turn those sharks into fish-sticks!" He boasted, wanting to wipe them out quick without hassle. But he had to dip his enthusiasm a bit as he questioned the crew, concern obvious in his tone: "But, uh, would Shippy be okay? It's not that huge of a shock, and it's not like it's a big fleshy boat, right? So it should get these sharks off of us before they decide to gnaw on our big sea-fairing friend or something." A bit of a morbid thought, yeah, but what was a sting to shark teeth tearing the boat apart? He kept twirling the grenade for emphasis that he could do this at a moment's notice once given the okay, trying to show a little resourcefulness to his new crewmates. Imagine what a badass story this would be to tell! He could almost start daydreaming about telling the tale of 'Mirage, that guy who killed a small army of sharks with one grenade...' to a bunch of absolute babes.

For the most part, these folks had been pretty nice so far. Mirage wasn't quite sure why Link looked so suspicious of the bananas like they were rigged to explode or something, and grew even more confused as he asked his questions. Suspicious people? News flash to Mister 'Suddenly My Hands Are Fine', but he's the guy on the living ship commanded by a sharply dressed turtle-squid-man along with an entire circus worth of weirdos. Sassy thoughts aside, Mirage shook his head as a starting response. "Uh, no? Don't think so. I saw some weird dinosaurs draped in leaves and sentient ice cream, though." Realizing the absurdity of his claim, he shiftily looked away, eyes half-lidded. "I wish that second part was a joke." He said dryly, the topic quickly changing to Link wanting some of the banana hoard. "Knock yourself out, they're for everybody after all!"

He brought his enthusiasm back in spades, confidence flowing again as he wandered over with the man to watch him cook. Mirage personally didn't know how to cook much aside from his family's signature Pork Chop recipe, but he could see the talent behind what was being done with these fruits. With a light request to dig in, he decided to reward his labor by trying out some of the roasted bananas Link made. His cocky smile melted into bliss, the man speechless as he began eating after the effort put in from the trip. He wasn't a huge seafood guy, but he definitely wanted some sort of meat to go with the fruit as well, though he made sure to not be grubby as he had plenty of fruit to bide him later if need be. He distracted himself by observing his surroundings, noting that King Bowser was still roasting that angry midget. Jeez, they were really causing a mood whiplash here, and though The King surely needed to put a commoner in his place or whatever, it was really unpleasant.

... Almost as unpleasant as the zombies. He watched one attempt to do a backflip with surprisingly efficiency until it bunked the landing. Ouch, at least this made them seem a lot more harmless. This was around the same time his eyes caught view of what he thought he hallucinated earlier; A man who was HUGE. And he had a horn on his head. A giant, hulking unicorn guy... What the hell. He would've said something, but the big man spoke first; Thanking him for the food he brought back. His nerves about the man suddenly calmed, he knew quite a giant himself who had just about the most jolly and bright disposition he'd ever seen. It should've taught him to not fear someone just because of their height. "Hey, not a problem. Ah- Didn't get your name, big guy..." He commented awkwardly, though not in an offensive manner. He just genuinely wasn't sure who the big man was, but wasn't about to disregard his friendliness.

He listened in at what else was going on, specifically that green midget calling everyone 'Mooks'. Now, he was familiar with mooks. He knew a mook. A grunt of the IMC, but one of the best competitors in the Apex Games. If she was what being a mook was, then that was acceptable enough for him. But not specifically from some lanky-yet-short stached jerk. Though Bowser seemed to be putting him through a bit of turmoil, or it seems the guy got betrayed in some manner. Mirage decided it'd be best to cut the dude a break personally, though he wouldn't say anything to the man himself at the moment as he was still gleaming with attitude.

Mirage was surprised with the noisy activity that someone had approached him directly, the young man surprising Mirage a bit but not in a bad way. He offered a wide grin, the question of coming along with them was such a casual one and the man could hardly contain himself at the opportunity, even with the danger presented. "Come along? Well, uh," He stumbled over his words, noting that they didn't even know each-other's names. He introduced himself as the Ace Cadet, and Mirage thought that was kind of a mouthful, but he'd figure out nicknames later. "Mirage, good to meet'cha." He introduced himself for what felt like the third time today, though that wasn't a bad thing. Not like everyone was just magically eavesdropping on all of his conversations. Right? "Heck, I've seen quite a bit of danger with my Guild work, so why not? If you guys are going to the Bottomless Sea to stop some bad news, you could probably use a few extra hands on deck, right? I've heard nothing but scary stuff about that place."

This carried off to some old guy seemingly poofing in from nowhere, and declaring some guy named Grimy-Bread was alive, or something? He noticed that girl from earlier getting excited, along with Ace Cadet, and a few others he hadn't even met yet. That girl that called out to him from the boat seemed to start a sort of toast in the honor of Grimy-Bread, and Mirage almost jumped into the celebration, though her words stopped him cold. His mind tried to process her words, finding himself losing his confident composure momentarily, before he snapped back into it. That must've been the name of a pirate crew or something super dangerous at the Bottomless Sea, and home was whatever region of the world they'd came from, yeah? Man, thinking they came from all walks of life sure was interesting. Maybe one of those regions held answers to where his mom was? He pushed back his thoughts, instead raising what was left of his own fruit with a grin.

"I don't quite get the whole Seeker thing, but a friend ending up alive is definitely a reason to celebrate, yeah?" There's that bombastic Mirage! Yeah! He just needed to keep that up. "To your guy's friend, and hopefully a safe voyage through the Bottomless Sea!"

Mirage laughed in his own head, a bead of sweat he could use the fire as an excuse for going down his forehead. Ahah, right... They say nothing short of horrible things about that place. Who knows what the hell's out there...?
