Who: Rouge the Bat and Blaze the Cat (and maybe other peeps who see her around)
What: Rouge needs someone to talk to after Knux left. She's feeling a bit down.
Where: Out on the grounds.
When: March 17th, 10pm
Warnings: Rouge can be a bitch, but nothing tragic.

Rouge stood cross-armed on the edge of the island, staring out into the dark, smokey void in front of her. Knuckles had been gone for a while now and she'd finally stopped loathing him to her very core. She'd pleaded with him to stay, but still he left. Just up and took off without even blinking*. She might have followed him if she wasn't so proud. That, and she wanted him to stay for her.

So, she was mad. She was mad and lonely. He was the closest thing she had to a friend here in this dump of a mansion.

As much as she doesn't think she needs one, she could probably use a pep talk.

*Facts may or may not be skewed from the point of view of a very scorned and bitter bat.

"You don't know that," Blaze told her. "This place... It feels like a cruel joke at times. I was kept from my home, my duty, for so long. I would have given anything to be able to go back. But once I could, I could come to peace with being here. Now that I'm cut off from my world again, things are different, and... I'm more confused now than I ever was."

Blaze frowned and looked down. "He may be back, you know," she said. "I've seen so many friends come and go from here. Sometimes they remember me, and the things we did, sometimes they don't..." She looked at Rouge with earnestness. "When you first arrived, you prodded me about my relationship with Sonic. I've... I've loved him for a long time now. But I never would have told him if not for the fact that things here are so uncertain, that I had no idea how long we would have together. I didn't want to risk never getting the chance again..."

It was comforting for Rouge to hear that Knuckles could be back someday. She knew it was possible, but it felt different coming from someone else. It was almost reassuring.

But hearing about Sonic just made her more bitter.

"Psht, well, it's too late for that for me," she spat. "You and Sonic can go be happy little lovebirds while I stand here hating myself for not speaking up sooner."

Blaze felt her eyebrow twitch when she heard her attempt at a comforting gesture twisted around on her. "I'm TRYING to say that I understand what you're going through, because I went through it myself several times. He'll be back eventually, and when he is, you shouldn't let the chance pass you by again," she said, trying to hold a civil tongue in her mouth for now.
