Tigerstripes shrugged, "I've never been that worried about my identity as long as it was another hero neko from our group, but I wont bother you about it. Even at home some were uncomfortable with the idea of it. Guess given my normal occupation I should be more careful about it myself" He glanced around at the robot remains. "Well seeing as things are clear here how's about tracking down that Eggman guy and seeing if we cant learn a bit more about the situation. If we have to live here it's best to have at least some intel on the local heroes and villains we might encounter."

Rune didn't care much about her secret identity
She was about to agree with him, but she felt that she had to keep it secret, to protect something or someone from, well she didn't remember what, but trying to remember it made her shiver, whatever it was was terrifying
" probably a good idea. Come."
Then the robot that had a paw print on it came over
She simply jumped on it
" go to your maker, match Tigerstipes speed"
It started walking off towards wherever eggman was
When tigerstipes speeds up, it goes just as fast
Rune has her claws out and is braced for it to suddenly take off at any second

About a minute later, the hedgehog found his way to the center of town, sporting his trademark smirk. "Heya Doc! Didya miss me??" He chimed in a light, mocking tone, loud enough so that his old enemy could hear him over the ruckuss. However, Sonic quickly noticed that Eggman already seemed ruffled about something.... Maybe he'd already seen Knuckles? He thought. Yeah, probably that.

(???)

(Sorry things have gotten crazy for the Christmas season. I will try to have more posted after we get back from putting wreaths on our family gravesides.)

(I understand, the season is a hectic one!)

( it's fine. As long as you don't forget I'm on here XD)

Tigerstripes slowed when he saw the hedgehog and scientist ahead. Finding a convenient hiding spot he sat back to watch the exchange between the two. He glanced at Rune as she and her controlled robot came up. "Seems like a good spot to observe things from. From what I've seen it seems this Eggman guy causes quite a bit of trouble around here."

(Once again sorry for the delay. I usually do handmade gifts so its been a bit of a rush to try and get everything done. I did my daughter a Disney princess doll house. We bought one that someone had converted from a shoe cubby. The thing was huge, but since it was made of particle board it just absorbed the spray paint we tried to use. Thankfully we had some white primer left from painting the house so I used that. Then I used some lattice left over from redoing our porch to make some doors for it. Then I used repainted some thrifts store doll furniture and decorated each room themed with a different Disney princess. A long project, but I am really happy with how it turned out. So yeah you can see what I've been up to while I disappeared. Although next year I think I will start making my Christmas gifts in January. Make one a week and I should have everything ready by Christmas without all the rushing.)

" stop"
The bot stopped
She jumped off
" attack Eggman"
The bot started attacking him

Sonic grinned up at Eggman. "Aw, no hi back?" He mocked, tapping his foot and smoothing back his quills casually, as if this man was in no way dangerous. "Not even a 'hate that hedgehog'? Come on, you gotta at least say something to me if you decide to visit Westside, right?"
