Darkly: This new "Sonic running like an idiot" fad
Darkly: I want to do one
billaybillaybill: you should make sonic turn into a naga and slither everywhere
Darkly: pff, I dunno
Darkly: I wanted to make him do that Russian squat dance at first but picturing it in my head, I was like "NOT DERPY ENOUGH"
billaybillaybill: what about being like mr. patch and sort of... float-bounce?
Darkly: PFFT
Darkly: First off, much love for spontaneous Banjo reference
Darkly: Second, maybe, but I dunno how easy it would be to do with his skinny-ass legs.
billaybillaybill: see now you should do sonic with tails in a backpack
Darkly: Maybe
Darkly: Actually, Tails would be doing the Talon Trot in that backpack
Darkly: carrying Sonic on his back

And this is why I put off working on Orinoco's ref sheet today. Productive, I know.

After that point in the conversation, we went on to discuss if Sonic used Banjo elements. Sonic uses Tails as a makeshift hammer, uses his tails for invincibility, etc. while Eggman is suddenly a rhyming maniac.
"I'll own the world, dirt and rocks
When I beat Spiny and two-tailed fox!
You cannot stop my robot things,
Even with spinning and lots of Rings!"

We're dorks.
