Glasses flew from the back bar counters while glowing teal lights waved from side to side, tilting the glass containers until various colorful liquids poured out into other smaller glasses below. A walrus woman who usually had two other children in a nearby village was here with a shape-fitting red dress, matching her equally bold lipstick. While the dress did not seem to fit her form very well, her woman grabbed her glass with a poised confidence that only others would dream of having. Taking a sip, she reached into her purse to grab 10 rings and dropped them onto the counter before sauntering off with some sucker on her arm.

A glove reached out to grab the rings and revealed to belong to a white hedgehog with a dark teal eye patch where his right eye would've been. Rolling his good eye, he used his telekinesis to fly the payment into the nearest register before continuing making other drinks for the various waiting patrons sitting at the bar. While not very enthusiastic to be in this vicinity, it still gave him something to do while being stuck in this point in time for now, and seeing as while the black and blue wolf head of the club was friendly enough, this place is serving its purpose for the time being.

As soon as Val sent that text, the elite French hedgehog burst foot-first into the studio room, looking down at everything with his lowered eyes much like in his photo portrait. However, he was wearing a fancy velvet done with intricate designs on it and a short scarfs tucked into it around his neck. He looked as regal as he was pompous, but looks can be deceiving as proven by the first thing that came out of his mouth: "Ah, ma cherie, mademoiselle! Tiz so good to see you! What ze S.O.S. for? Perhaps a little makeover for your model? Ze next expo will be a hit!"

There was hardly any time to register him even coming into the room as he clapped his hands and a huge bag came floating into the room while it unzipped and hair products and makeup came flying out of it, already ready to get started. "Let's--how do they say?--'get to work'!"

Silver awaited their response, but not without some sort of light impatience.

Val's phone suddenly started ringing, a chiaroscuro picture ID of a silver-white hedgehog looking simultaneously stuck up, pouty, and professional with a hint of playfulness: the epitome of a perfect professional portrait. The hedgehog in question hardly let the phone ring (as he hates being kept waiting, even by dear friends) as he left a voice mail addressing his friend, Val.

"Val, I heard about the less than ideal expo presentation, so I want to let you know that my well-known expertise in the photography business security and my high status in the industry would help prevent from disasters like that from happening again. In return, I am interested in working with your new muse, this Viera girl you've mentioned. I would happily allow you to have my hair styling services for her as well, free of charge. Think about it and call me back ASAP. Ciao, chére!"

After the silver-white hedgehog was done transporting through the wormhole of space, a feeling he was quite used to by now and, thus, felt no discomfort over, he peered his gaze over at the colossal city before him...or more like "city remains" by now. Silver flew by close, staring blankly with a hint of a furrowed brow towards the wreckage HER and the others have unleashed upon the city, shaking his head as he was reminded of his own home's ruins. "Funny how I hardly ever see this city in its full-bloom glory..." He half-heartedly tried to joke, his face telling a different story. Perhaps it was more grim after all. Either way, he turned towards Sapphire in response to what she mentioned about scaling the side of the building, nodding. "I don't suppose it would help much that I flew up there myself since we'll be separated, right?"  He mostly asked out of curiosity, although he also did want to let her know that his gift of telekinesis and. therefore, flight, among other things, were available at their very disposal.

With his arms still crossed, Silver hardly gave a sideways glance over at Tails as the fox moved his work area closer to him, sighing as the future fox moved closer again, a bit annoyed. As the fox worked on the ninja's bubble-looking thing, he asked Silver about his time and home, prompting the silver-white hedgehog to lower his gaze away from him, his expression unreadable. "Um...let's just say it doesn't exist anymore... It-It was demolished by a-a...a monster..."

Silver continued to look away, but closed his eyes as he shifted his weight and sighed once more. "But no, I do not miss it. I am actually here to change it... I never want to see it the way it was again."

The young hedgehog kept quiet after that, still not looking back at Tails as he thought over the ones he lost in his future. His mentor, Mammoth Mogul...and especially Blaze the Cat, his long-lost and most dearest best friend...

Silver suddenly inhaled a quick gush of breath and flushed a furious red in the cheeks as he stood there like a plank, frustrated at how his side was still not coming across to the yellow-fox, even after he (tried) to be calmer now, albeit still a bit sour towards the woman meditating in the corner. Between his own outbursts, the uncooperative inventor, and that ninja-looking feline, he still both understood hardly anything about the subject and felt like all sense of pride he had before was lost. They had torn down at his dignity to the core due to both his young age and duty to be strict on those who time-travel through the Time Stream.

Instead of saying a thing, his flush faded away a tad as the silver-white hedgehog merely walked away towards an opposite corner of the room from everybody else to lean on. seething silently as he coldly watched the rest come to a conclusion themselves. Perhaps he could just try to listen in onto what's going on instead of trying to find out for himself.

After all, doing that did nothing but cause trouble, even when he was trying to offer and accept peace at the end...

Getting the boot once again, Silver huffed and crossed his arms as he is, again forcibly removed from the premises. To be honest, if he really wanted to, he could just use his telekinesis to stop the monstrous robot in its tracks, but that seemed too easy.....or, maybe it'll be worth it once he just tried to calm down and rationalize with the just-as stubborn group.

After being ejected and meditating in the air much like Rafiki near the edge of the village, the silver-white hedgehog came marching back towards the hatch to Tails's workshop where the robot was waiting for him. The robot stared menacingly down at him as the pair started a mini staring contest, but when the robot was gonna make a move, Silver simply snapped a finger and the robot went flying away in a translucent cyan bubble. He then shrugged it off like it was nothing and opened the hatch to float back inside.

Once down the hatch, the young hedgehog then slowly approached Tails, his hands up and out to show he was not here for further arguing. "Okay, okay. If you could all just calm down and all, I'll let you explain why you have invented those time bubble thingies, why all the people are being taken to other Time Streams other than their own, and let me help defeat the one responsible for this. After all, this is my JOB..." He added with a growl, shooting a rather piercing glance over at Karahl before turning back towards Tails, clearing his throat. "I could see now that we all have a common interest in getting rid of the threat that dooms our worlds, and I would be happy to share any knowledge and/or powers I have that would assist you all in your quest."

"Oof!"

Silver fell right on his back before being yelled at, bubbles taken away from him, and humiliatingly dragged across the room and kicked in the butt out of the workshop door. Before he could make an inquiry or a response, with his finger up in the air, Tails shut the hatch in his face behind him. As soon as the door was shut, the hedgehog blinked out of his confusion and angrily thumped on the hatch before throwing it open. "Tails! Honestly, I don't give a craaaa-CRUD about whether you think your invention is so great--it messed with the Time Stream!"

He paced a bit back and forth before folding his arms in a huff and sticking his head through the hatch, finger wagging and all. "And I don't know about any 'saving' or whatever, but all I can see here is people being kidnapped into a Time Stream they do not belong in NOR have any business being in, and a certain female blue hedgehog who is the daughter of another male blue hedgehog who has been screwing up everything ever since she went to Sonic's Time Stream!"

Silver decided to drop in but floated down with his telekinesis, assuring he was out of everyone's reach in case Tails or another punk wanted to throw him out again. "And another thing! For someone who took the cheap shot of saying how 'poor of a job' I've been doing, then you don't know HECK about what kind of things I've been through in order for nearly HALF of the disasters that were going to happen NOT happen. In fact, perhaps if it wasn't for you 'rouge time traveler' types, we probably wouldn't even BE in this mess in the FIRST PLACE!"

Silver dusted himself off before folding his arms again, still floating above the crowd and looking quite smug with himself at his own defense.

...However, he got serious again, his eyes shrouded in shadow as his eyebrows furrowed.

"In the end, I know it doesn't matter about who caused what in this current little chaotic situation. What matters is that we set things right, no matter what the cost...or what else we lose..." The 14-year-old boy sighed, looking a tad bit despondent from the memories of his own loss of his world and his one only feline friend...
