[Open] Dead flowers for the torn apart
🧙 WHO: Amy Rose and YOU
⚔️️ WHAT: Catch-all for October. Recent events have brought up some bad memories for Amy, so she's keeping herself busy to try and keep her mind off things. It only kind of works.
🕒 WHEN: Throughout October
🗺️ WHERE: Ruins of Celliwig and Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: Possible mentions of death, war, and (robot) zombies. Because this is a children's franchise.
A. Task: Don’t Lose Your Head
[ She knows that she should be paying attention to her task, but Amy Rose can't keep her eyes from wandering over what's left of Celliwig. She could argue that she's keeping a look out for the Headless Horseman, to protect the volunteers in case he tries to attack again. Yet as she looks at the city's ruins - seeing the leftover destruction, watching as the survivors have to retrieve their dead - all she can think of is the diaster around them. How they failed.
She failed. It keeps happening.
Gripping the handle of her hammer, she shakes her head and releases a shaky breath. Can't focus on the past. Pick yourself up, and move on.
She's failed before. But she won't fail now. She'll keep these people safe.
What's left of them. ]
B. Not Quite a Puppy Parade
[ She'd hoped that the Pet Adoption Fair would be a little less intense, and it does help to a degree. It's hard not to smile when you're surrounded by cute animals, especially the capybaras that are so friendly.
Yet somehow it's the fae frogs that she finds herself drawn to. She isn't really much a frog person herself, honestly, and with her room at the inn already so cramped with her new roomate, she can't imagine having much room for any pet. But despite their attitude, she keeps coming back to the frogs and chatting with them a bit.
Because she can't help thinking back to a certain frog back home, wondering if he might sound like this if he could talk. Perhaps to others...but certainly not his best friend.
The friend always in constant search of him...traveling everywhere just to find him.
She hadn't known...she never even realized. She thought she'd seen him at HQ once, but she hadn't been paying attention. He was her friend too, but she hadn't even thought to think about him. She had no idea, until... ]
C. Training
[ Even with her busy schedule - taking on a quest, volunteer work, helping with the survivors, on top of her classes and her job - Amy still has time, makes time, for training.
She attacks the wooden dummies with some combination of using her hammer, hand-to-hand combat, and her dark magic. Her shadow seems to ripple with each strike against her immobile opponents, each hit somehow landing harder than the last, despite her strength obviously waning.
But she doesn't let up. She can't.
She strikes the dummy in front of her again, her hammer laying forgotten on the ground for the moment as her boxercising instincts kick in. She punches and kicks the training dummy, and her shadow moves out of sync from her, merging with the dummy's and choking it.
It's not enough. It's never enough!
Her shadow spikes through the dummy as she punches it, sending splintered wood flying everywhere. Stepping back, she takes a few ragged breaths as she looks at the destroyed object in front of her, then down at her hand. Some of the wood had ripped the material of her glove, revealing patches of the torn skin underneath.
She winces as she clenches her injured hand into a fist, but a moment later her hand is surrounded by light. It glows for a long moment, and when it fades she checks to make sure the injury is gone. Then she wipes her brow and reaches down to pick up her hammer. ]

If...If Rouge and I had been switched, and I had ended up leaving and she was still here...would you have talked to her about me disappearing?
no subject
Of course, we need everyone we can here and losing you is losing an asset.
[He's leaving out the fact that it would all depend on if or when he noticed Amy being gone.]
no subject
Then...why can't you talk to me right now? About her disappearing?
no subject
[Well, it is. But if Shadow acts like it isn't then that means less prying, right?]
no subject
no subject
No, it'd be the same.
[Probably not the best answer, but hey it's an answer.]
no subject
[ It's enough of an answer and one that, at least in her mind, tells her all that she needs to know.
Because despite what he says, she knows that Rouge is important to him, and that he isn't completely unaffected by her disappearance. And if he says that her own disappearance would be the same, then the only conclusion to draw is that he'd talk to Rouge if she'd disappeared because he trusts Rouge.
And really, she expected as much...and she knows that she doesn't have any right to really be hurt by it, but...
Shaking her head a little, she clears her throat and turns to start heading back to the volunteer group. ] Like I said...it's dumb.
no subject
He lets out another sigh of his own and he'll let her go towards the group.]
If that's how you see it, then so be it.
[No point in arguing if something is dumb or not, which he didn't find it to be so.]
no subject
Maybe she's just overthinking it. She's just really not sure anymore, but she can't really afford to dwell on it either. They are here for a reason, and she's already been distracted long enough with feeling upset for something that she probably shouldn't even be upset for.
So she wipes at her eyes again and continues on her way. ]
no subject
And he's sure she doesn't want him anywhere near her for now, he's just going to go find another group of volunteers to help instead. Simply leaving Amy to the group she's headed towards alone.]
