Open log: A wild Carnival Night Zone appears!
Who: Anybody bold enough to jump through a mysterious warp ring.
What: A giant carnival zone!
Where: In a pocket dimension, nearby island, or just AU, depending on how serious you want to take it.
When: Now?
Warnings: F for FUN!
Without notice or explanation, a giant, spinning gold ring had appeared at the edge of the island. Through the center one could see what looked like roller coasters, carnival games, and lots of balloons, among many other things. Timing a jump through the ring was tricky, but doable.
A mysterious spacial distortion obscured the area beyond the carnival. Anyone hoping to escape the mansion entirely would find it was hopeless through this warp ring. However, the entertainment value probably seemed tempting to anyone growing restless with nowhere to go. Why not grab a buddy and have some fun?

Still, at this point, she figured he was her best shot at, well, not being judged.
"Yeah," she replied, biting her lip. "I felt... lonely. Unappreciated, I guess. Maybe. And that kind of thing is only--typically̶̶ -something you do with someone who loves you. Some of us haven't felt that in a long time, so we skip the slower, difficult parts to feel fleeting relief in that area of insecurity. Of course, it doesn't last. It actually makes you feel worse afterward, now that I think about it."
She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye to subtly gauge his reaction.

He thought for a few moments about how to best respond. Finally he settled on giving her a tighter hug. "I guess we have a bit more in common than I thought," he told her. "We both spent a long time wishing we had anyone who understood us."
Re: [[Tunnel of Love]] part 2
"B-but--" she stuttered, becoming more confused the more she thought about it. For a fleeting moment she wondered if his way with dealing with the loneliness was the same as hers, but then she came to her senses and remembered he'd told her he was a virgin. And he ACTED like he was a virgin, so it wasn't a question of honesty here.
Eventually, she settled down and relaxed into the hug.
"You don't seem perturbed at my dark secret. That's reassuring, handsome. ...Thanks."
"Well, now that you know my methods, how did YOU deal with the isolation?"
Re: [[Tunnel of Love]] part 2
He lifted one strong arm and flexed it. "You'd be amazed the kind of workout routine you can set for yourself when there's no distractions and all the land you could need in any direction!" he laughed, trying to inject a bit of humor into the moment. He felt she could use it.
Re: [[Tunnel of Love]] part 2
"I suppose that's a healthier way of dealing with it, yeah. But..." she hesitated and shifted in her seat. "Didn't you want something more? Someone to talk to? Someone to listen? Someone to hold you when you're sad and tell you things will be all right?"
She instantly regretted asking that. She felt it gave away too much of her deepest fears. It was an area she really didn't want exposed to just anybody, but the damage was done, she thought.

Rouge was also turning bright red at this point. It wasn't an easy thing to hide, what with her face being white and all.
"Th-that's... really nice of you to say. That I could have that kind of effect on you. A positive effect..."
Without thinking, she kissed him. She wasn't sure how else to convey the feelings she had at that moment. Whether they were destined to be together or not, she was enjoying being with him then, and the more he was open and honest with her, the less dorky and more attractive he got.
As the kiss went on, she felt her face burn even hotter, but at that point, she didn't care.
Re: [[Tunnel of Love]] part 2
His strong arms held her close, resting a hand on the small of her back, rubbing over to her hip and back. He stroked her side with his other hand, feeling the need to get closer to her. As they kissed, all he could think was that he wanted to get closer to her. Closer than he ever had with anyone before. He slid a hand down to cup her rear...
But the moment was broken when sunlight finally shone through, to snap them out of it. The boat was almost out of the tunnel. He sighed heavily, releasing her very hesitantly. He really didn't want to let go. His heart raced, his face was red, and he looked her over as if she were the most wonderful treasure he'd ever laid eyes on. Before the boat left the tunnel, he found himself speaking. "...Do you want to... go through again?" he suggested. He wasn't finished exploring her, and hoped she felt the same.

And then the echidna invited the bat on another run.
Espio clenched his fist and rubbed his temple. If this wasn't a temporary gig, he'd be seriously badgering his boss for a hefty raise.
