run.

She doesn't know how to fight them. So she doesn't. She hides herself, staying away at all costs, because she knows what they can do to her. She knows exactly what will happen if she's found. And she is found. Over and over again, she meets her end, only to come right back. She doesn't remember it, of course.

The others didn't do it on their first try either, so it's not as if she has something to be ashamed of. Eventually, she manages to wait it out long enough for the others to cycle back to her.

In the end, not a single one of them is left unscarred. All of them will carry this for the rest of time.

Through trials by fire and ice, Shizuku and Firestar have come quite the long way as Animated Musical Vibes. Starting as a mismatched duo thrown together by the powers that be, they've grown to become close friends. Together they stand against the threat of the White Noise, but when bonds can't save you, all that remains is the fight ahead. It'll take all they have and more to survive, but nine lives may just be enough.

AMV vs. The Lost ~ SILENCE IN THE LIBRARY

Something is very, very wrong. It seems that even after the Spark reversed the effects of the White Noise... not everything is so simple. Though they're back to their former selves, sound of mind, Sonic and Mega Man have become something truly terrifying. Though... even though they've returned to the bodies of the Lost, they don't seem to mind? In any case, with some new creepy flair, the true blue heroes are ready to take on the world once again!

Chasing new horizons, Hisashi Nogami of the Squid Research Lab has joined the fight! He seems to be well-versed in the ways of the Inklings, so that'll be his primary weapon in this battle. But, nobody told us he's also a game developer on the side. Looks like this researcher has some tricks up his coat sleeves.

Subject: Robo-Crashers (Sonic the Hedgehog, Rock "Mega Man" Light)
Noted by: Arthur Candler

The experiment took an interesting turn today, one we weren't expecting. Upon extended exposure to the White Noise, initially there was seemingly no reaction. However, close to the three minute mark, something interesting happened. As the hedgehog began to seemingly plan with Rock to find a way out of the room, the entity seemed to suddenly spring to life. Within moments they were... consumed entirely. The White Noise just... swallowed them whole. They vanished. For a solid ten minutes, they had simply disappeared. Afterwards, however, was the most interesting part. They returned, seemingly without a scratch.

Very fascinating. Initially we theorized that the White Noise had simply rejected them, but... As we released them from the room for further testing, the robot briefly fell apart into... static, interestingly. Sonic rushed to comfort him, and they briefly started to quite literally meld together. They quickly separated, fearful of it, but now we're more interested in how that happened.

We're not entirely sure what it was, it will require further testing. Our current theory, however, is that the Robo-Crashers are not among us right now. Not dead, as that would likely make them much more difficult to clone like this, but... these are not the Robo-Crashers. This is the White Noise, dressing itself and acting like them. To a tee, as well, even with most memories intact. However, they seem very off as well. Occasional flares of uncharacteristic anger, moments where they will seemingly panic and start to fall apart at the seams, only to come back together at a moment's notice. The clones are unstable. Further testing may yield more results, and we are very enthusiastic to see what those results may be.
