First Egg: Enter the good Doctor

[The feed turns on, revealing a rather irritated and extremely wet Dr. Eggman. Clearly, he was not happy about this situation. Having finally beaten (he thinks) his long time rival only to be brought to god knows where is not on his to-do list. At all.]

Alright. First and foremost, I would like an explanation of where I am. Second, I would like the name of the person or people who brought me here so I can send them the bill for my wrecked vehicle. Those parts are expensive, you know!

[And he gestures to the Eggmobile behind him, looking soaked and...wow, actually sparking. Amazing he didn't get fried in that thing.]

Also I need a towel...

A-HEM

Anyway...I suppose the only question I have in mind now is how do I get out of here? Should you provide me with that data, I will be most grateful.

[Feed ends.]

Welcome to Vatheon. You're stuck here for the duration.

Vatheon? Why, I've never heard of a place like this before in all my resear-

Wait. Stuck here? How?!

This place is called Vatheon, the magic coral behind you brought you here, and there is no way out. Also, you're under the sea.

Now wait just a minute, how was I even brought here?

You can't just inform someone they are trapped in some strange city they never even have heard of after finally crushing their longtime rival without explaining why!

I doubt anyone vill actually pay for anyzhing zhat got damaged on your vay hier.

Because we've been kidnapped by magic coral and stuck here.

[So much deadpanning right now.]

You might say it's a fishy situation.

Fishy? More like eggtremely annoying.

I have work to do and plans to be made! I can't simply sit around this dome twiddling my fingers.

Tough luck. I've been looking for a way out for months. No luck.

I agree on that, since it seems no one will be rushing over to my location to give me compensation any time soon.

[Dramatic sigh, he's been waiting for about a half hour. D:]

And it was my best model, too. I suppose I'll have to replace the parts on my own, then.

Well, perhaps you have gone about it the wrong way. That barrier can't simply be destroyed easily, look at the water over it! The amount of pressure at this depth would crush anything not extremely resilient to it, so simply blasting through wouldn't do. Not that I'd recommend it, with all this water.

Perhaps constructing a vehicle for undersea travel would work...hmm...

[Don't mind him, lost in thought.]

You're in a world called Vatheon!

[Because is. Obviously so helpful.]

Is someone bringing you a towel?

You some kind of inventor?

The coral behind you. I told you it was magic. It pulled you here, it does that to everyone.

I'm a scientist. But I am very skilled in the field of engineering. And I have dabbled a bit in inventing...

[Gestures over to his Eggmobile. It would look pretty high-tech if it was still working. Damn water.]

As you can see.

Wait. World called Vatheon? Are you saying that I am somehow in another dimension?

No, sadly. No one has brought me a towel.

Everyone, you say? Hmmmmmm....interesting.

So. All of the people in this city aren't from here?

Not everyone. The really happy people and the ones who are too nice. Those are the locals. They were always here or so I've been told.

[He offers a shrug. Nothing else. Just a shrug.]

Gut luck vizh zhat. At times zhe locals can be quite helpful vizh inquiries such as yours.

Yeah, I kind of noticed that.

Pity it got wrecked at my arrival. It was one of my favorites, sadly.

At any rate, is there any information that could be of use to me? I'd rather not be lacking in that department.

Hopefully. However, I won't get my hopes up. If you want something done right, after all, do it yourself.

Ah, now that makes far more sense than having a city with no people originally inhabiting it in the middle of nowhere..

Unless this place was some sort of prison or something.

I suppose it's possible it still might be.

Depends on your definition of useful information. We're stuck here, but food and housing are free.

Maybe. They tend to be helpful though. A little too friendly though. From what I hear, they grope at people sometimes.

Hello, sir. How much information do you have so far? I can send you a slightly outdated brochure if you like, it contains most everything that you need to know about this place. As for a towel, I could bring you one?

[Zelda's always helpful to new arrivals! When she notices them, at least.]

Well, anything really. Though I hate to admit it, I know absolutely nothing about this city.

{Wait, the important thing.]

... did you say free food and housing?

{BEST CITY EVER]

...they what now?

Not very much, sadly. All I know about this city is it's called Vatheon and I can't leave. Something about free items as well.

So yes, a brochure and a towel would be very appreciated.

Please read this over while I make my way to the plaza, then.

[She sends him a link to the old brochure, getting up and heading out to the Lamufao.]

Yeah, we pretty much have our pick of apartments. Doesn't really make up for the being stuck here.

A friend of mine told me some coped a feel of her when she was out shopping. So they can get a little...handsey.

Well, I doubt I'll be keeping a permanent residence in one of them.

I'm perfectly capable building my own living space on my own, thank you.

I'll proceed to vaporize the first person who tries it.

Either way, thank you for this information. I suppose I'll have to be even more cautious then I thought.

[And read it over he shall. The doctor picks a random bench nearby and proceeds to look over the brochure. It doesn't take him long to finish reading it and so he ends up sitting on the bench, soaking wet, waiting for Zelda to show up.]

[It takes her about ten to fifteen minutes, but she arrives with a few towels and some hot tea as promised.]

Here you are. Wouldn't want you to fall ill!

Yeah, you have fun with that.

...Don't you think vaporizing them is a little extreme? I mean, I'm not against smacking a groper with my wrench but I think that may get you into trouble.

I suppose I will.

They shouldn't be going around touching people in the first place.

Ah, thank you!

[And he'll proceed to try and dry himself off. Once he's dried off, he swing the towel around his neck.]

Ah, where are my manners? I am Dr. Eggman, at your service.

[Or you'll be at his. Whole enslaving the bubble thing going on.]

I got to agree with you there.

Indeed.

[End of topic there, on to the next.]

Now then, do you happen to know where I can find metal? Scrap, perhaps bits of technology around here? I need to repair my vehicle.

I think there's a junkyard around here somewhere. And then there's this part of town with shops that have things from home for us, from what I hear.

Really? That's quite convenient.

[A beat.]

Very well, thank you for this information, friend. And before I forget my manners, I am Dr. Eggman.

Nice to meet you doctor. I'm Ratchet and you're welcome.
